Episode 165. Horn of Despair (2)
“…I thought I worked hard to erase the signs, but how did you notice?”
A man’s voice came from behind the pile of gold.
The one who showed up was Liao Yu from the Chinese Guild.
how did you notice
It’s not like writing a text in front of Confucius.
Of course, since he used the virtual barrier, he couldn’t let him go over even if he wanted to pretend he didn’t know.
“I’m quite familiar with barriers. Besides, if you want to hide the distinctive disgusting smell, take a shower at least once a day. please.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
I expected Moorim to know about this place, but it would be better to scratch it gently like this here.
In particular, the more self-esteemed, the more childish provocation like this worked well.
“That snout…!”
“It’s okay because I’m tired of clumsy threats. More than that, where did Namgungcheon go and are you the only one here?”
Naturally, I thought that Namgung-cheon would be there too, but the most important lead actor was nowhere to be seen.
“You don’t have to come all the way to Namgungcheon to deal with you alone. Because he left after obtaining only the public value necessary for choosing a faction here. You just have to focus on me.”
Hmmm, did that happen?
Well, from that guy’s point of view, it would be better to skip the details and go back to Moorim rather than arguing in a place like this.
“well. Do you think it would be worthwhile to come to Namgungcheon?”
“Yeah… Where do you keep grinning? I’ll make the smile disappear from your face.”
The corners of Liaoyu’s mouth twisted subtly.
at the same time.
Pats Cheats…!
A long hanging scroll protruded from Liaoyu’s subspace inventory.
‘Is it a special item?’
The energy I feel is unusual….
The moment I thought so.
[The sacred artifact ‘Gwak Hui’s Chun-do (早春圖)’ is activated!]
A landscape painting unfolded before my eyes.
A natural landscape expressed with ink…
However, it is probably because of the numerous characters who should not be in nature that a deep sense of incongruity is felt.
“Is it transference through painting?”
“…that’s absurd. This is a holy relic that I received directly from Moorim, but I can’t believe you even know this.”
Liaoyu clicked his tongue in amazement.
But that’s just the sound of pain.
In fact, the ideal situation with such a hidden card was because Liaowi still had an overwhelming advantage.
‘It seems that I have prepared quite a lot.’
The method of hiding the players of the Chinese guild in the picture and then bringing them inside is not a method that is originally accepted.
Being deeply involved in the system to this extent must mean that even Moorim was overdoing it.
To the extent that if it fails, the balance of the middle layer will be completely destroyed. He must have crossed a very dangerous bridge in Moorim.
“Is it okay if I just go out like this? Coins and holy relics aside. It wouldn’t normally be a big deal if this fact reached the ears of the administrators, right?”
“Thank you for your concern. That won’t be a problem. If we kill all the witnesses here, nothing will come to light.”
I was able to look inside the labyrinth at the masquerade ballroom, but there was only one.
I couldn’t get a glimpse of this tomb.
This is because this is a special place under the influence of the boss monster on the 25th floor, so even the administrators couldn’t exercise their authority recklessly.
Of course, Jinhyeok also chose this place with that in mind.
That advantage also applied to Liaoyu.
In addition…
[Liaowi wants ‘protection of forces’.]
[The giant force ‘Wulin’ responds to Liaoyu’s response!]
The sky opened and a huge light fell.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
The leader of the Moyong family. Mo Yong-soo appeared in the labyrinth.
“This time, I will completely end my breath.”
***
[Space transfer from ‘Gwak Xi’s Jochundo’ has been completed.]
“All of the Chinese Guild’s 5th raid has been deployed.”
“The 50 special forces under Yang Xiaoping of the 4th raid just arrived.”
“The six members of the executive department have been perfectly prepared as you said.”
A total of 127 people.
The number of people was gathered so that it could not be seen from the outside.
The number isn’t very large, but it doesn’t matter.
Rather than large boss monsters, it was equipped with a special weapon to catch named monsters specialized in interpersonal combat.
All of these were customized cards prepared to capture Jinhyeok.
Above all, the situation was completely tilted to one side as Mo Yong-soo of Moorim with thick bones joined.
“…It seems that both the noble blood lord and the noble blood corps are dead.”
I told you to get rid of only those around Jinhyeok.
It was as if I had lost my life trying to get out.
‘Stupid…’
But he is different.
In terms of skill, it wasn’t much different from Yeomho, the Demon Lord, but there were treasures here that could supplement things other than skills.
“Looks like you know a lot about the tower, too, but I’ll let you know that there are mountains that can never be climbed with shallow knowledge.”
Mo Yong-soo stretched out his hand to the side.
“Here it is.”
Then, as if he had waited, Liaoyu handed over a brightly colored medicine.
[Magic core].
For Murim, it is an elixir that has an effect similar to that of Shaolin’s Great Hwandan.
Or rather, it may be much higher than that in terms of efficiency.
Because the core of magical power has the characteristic of being absorbed into the body immediately without having to eat for breakfast after being absorbed.
“Kang Jin-hyuk! You can’t let them eat that!”
“Mr. Jinhyeok!”
Chun Yoo-seong and Teresa immediately drew their weapons as if they felt that the shortfall was unusual.
It was an instinctive realization that the situation would get much worse if I stayed still.
however.
gulp!
Mo Yong-soo had already poured the medicine into his mouth.
“It’s late…”
“Ah…!”
A sigh escaped from both of their mouths. However, it was only for a short time.
What followed after the sigh was a life that stabbed to the bone.
rapidly changing air.
I am short of breath.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Black mist began to rise around Mo Yong-soo’s body.
From the fact that the typed qi can be unfolded so clearly. It also meant that he couldn’t compare himself with the ghost blood lord he had been dealing with a while ago.
“Puhahaha! okay. That’s it! I can’t control the boiling power!”
Mo Yong-soo laughed madly.
Of course, I can’t help but be happy because I gained an additional level of strength at once.
Even if the effect of the Great Hwandan is only about 1 hour, at this moment, it is possible to show off its mighty majesty to the point that no human can stand up to it.
“Um…”
Jinhyuk scratched his chin.
It’s nice to see you overflowing with confidence after becoming the final weapon after a long time…
What if I’m sorry about this?
Just in time, this side also found some pretty interesting items.
In Jinhyeok’s hand, he was holding a crude horn made from buffalo horns.
It wasn’t just that Mo Yong-soo was sitting around while the atmosphere was getting messy as he swallowed the medicine.
We have secured an item that is suitable for a short medicine… no, maybe even more suitable for a deceased person than a short medicine.
“That can’t be!”
Upon seeing the horn, Mo Yong-soo’s face contorted in astonishment.
A tomb treasure that can only select one per person.
It was pretty good until there. It was an individual’s freedom to choose any of the tens of thousands of treasures here.
But all in all…!
I never thought I’d choose something I should never touch.
Jin-hyeok’s wickedly smiling face looked so exquisite that he didn’t know.
That was definitely something I knew and chose.
“How do you guys know what it is?”
“Did you pick out the most sinister-looking one?”
“Stop talking bullshit! What kind of nonsense reason do you want me to believe it!”
Mo Yong-soo had a blood clot around his neck.
“If you don’t want to believe it, don’t.”
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders as if it didn’t matter.
“by the way. I have a strong desire to use what I have already acquired.”
“Stop! If you blow it…!”
Mo Yongsu hurriedly reached out his hand, but it was already too late.
Too late, too late
Because Jinhyeok boasted of his lung capacity and blew his horn vigorously.
Whoop whoop!
A booming sound filled the room.
[You used the ‘horn of despair’!]
[The first despair comes!]
If you knew what this was, you wouldn’t even go near the horn.
This is because it literally evokes despair every time it is called.
And each and every one of them was so terrible that they all fell into hell.
Right then.
“Oohhh!”
Something huge howled.
At the same time, the gold piled up like a mountain collapsed and a 5m black scorpion appeared.
[The tomb’s guardian ‘Black Scorpion’ is awakening!]
The strongest gatekeeper who lives in ruins and labyrinths.
It is a medium-sized monster with extreme poison that melts all the organs in its body just by brushing against it.
The basic level was close to three, and the steel-like outer shell was famous for being hard enough to withstand strong winds.
In a word, it means that he is a very difficult guardian to deal with.
“In the end, the tomb’s… Guardian wakes up. The worst thing has happened because of you.”
“Yeah. Was this waking up the guardian of the tomb? It was the first time I knew.”
Jinhyuk trembled as if he really didn’t know.
“Don’t talk like it’s someone else’s business! Without you knowing, all of your comrades will be torn to pieces! Maybe you don’t know? That Guardians are outside the rules.”
Thanks to Pennheimer’s negotiations with the manager, players will be moved to the masquerade ballroom when they die.
If you are killed by a Guardian, you cannot enjoy that benefit.
but.
“Maybe. But my theory is to raise only strong guys.”
It is not a flower in a greenhouse, but a beast that survives in the jungle.
Even if it is the same chick, only chicks that can hit 500 or more in three generations can remain in the old water corporation.
“Kieack!”
The Black Scorpion swung its claw.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The golden statue was split in half with a single blow.
“Avoid the blood!”
The players of the Chinese Guild screamed in contemplation.
Although he struggled to survive, he couldn’t escape from the black scorpion, which was optimized for hunting prey.
The claw grabbed one of the players at once.
Fu-wook!
The red stinger on its tail was embedded in its back.
It grumbled and was injected with venom.
“Quaaaaagh!”
It took less than 3 seconds for one person to turn into jelly.
If caught, death is immediate.
“Kuk!”
Mo Yongsu clicked his tongue briefly.
No matter how much he raised his inner strength through short medicine, his opponent was the guardian of the labyrinth.
It is a powerful enemy that can never be easily thought of.
“Save me!”
“shit. What are the tanks doing!? You have to take over the front so we can make deals. Are you going to kill everyone like this!”
“it’s crazy? How are you going to stop that?”
Although they were trained rigorously in their own way, the players belonging to the Chinese Guild were different from the residents of Moorim.
Even in individual skills. Even in the determination to face battle.
It was impossible to compare at all.
In fact, aren’t the elites of the Chinese guild being smashed like sorghum cans whenever the Black Scorpion rampages?
If it stayed like this for a few minutes, it was certain that they would all be eaten.
The worry didn’t last long.
“Don’t be clumsy, spread your formation wide! I’ll take care of him, so you guys just do Wonho!”
If it’s 1:1, you can somehow achieve the same.
If you can build up damage in the tiny gaps in the outer skin in that gap… you
will have a chance to stop its movement.
‘It’s still worth a try.’
enough to overcome this difficulty.
However, thinking that the worst would end here…
was the biggest miscalculation Mo Yong-soo made.
Whoa!
Jinhyeok blew the trumpet again without hesitation.
“Oh sorry. this blows up again no. Don’t stare. Seriously. This time it was 100% pure mistake.”
Jinhyeok put his hands together as if he was sorry.
