——————————————————
A passive skill added to the existing status window. Paladins with high divine power, such as
‘Corruption’
Teresa, are greatly affected by their disposition when fighting strong disasters.
Due to the battle with the three major despairs, the skill seemed to bloom anew.
‘and. anyway it is This is really hard to see…’
Jinhyeok swallowed dryly.
In the past, I had met many holy-type paladins and priests, but there was only one resident with that skill.
An altruistic personality and despair level monsters that are hard to find even in the tower.
This is because it is very difficult to satisfy both conditions at the same time.
‘Really, I pick a person out of nowhere.’
One more card worth using with this has been added.
“Mr. Teresa.”
“yes?”
“Congratulations.”
“What is there to celebrate?”
Taeresa opened her rabbit eyes anxiously.
In the normal case, Jinhyeok noticed that congratulations were words that he only said when he had something enjoyable, not the other person.
Chet. This is why I don’t like quick-witted kids.
Having been together for a long time in their own way, is it now that they can instinctively read patterns?
But what can I do?
Just because you noticed it doesn’t change the result.
Jinhyuk smiled brightly and spread his arms wide.
“Specially, as a passenger with me, you won a 1-day, overnight trip abroad!”
“…Can you say no?”
“I already bought all the plane tickets. What is the penalty for refund? I don’t think you can handle it.”
“…”
Theresa bowed her head sadly.
On the other hand.
“hey! I am? I’m stronger, so why don’t you take me?”
Alice raised her voice with her eyes wide open.
Until a little while ago, he acted different to avoid being chosen, but when he chose someone else, he looked completely upset.
Anyway, with a twisted personality.
“A noble person should not go to a humble place. I will solve it on my own. What was the intention?”
“Ugh. That’s true, but… I can’t believe you thought so wonderfully?”
“The more irritable the original temperament, the more doubts…”
“What is it?”
In an instant, a cold energy surged up.
It is a sharp-edged life.
Jinhyuk hurriedly waved his hands.
“Oh no. Just to go with Teresa this time. It’s easy to deal with them only when you have divine-type abilities.”
“If that’s the reason… I can’t.”
Elise still muttered disapprovingly, but she didn’t insist anymore.
“You and Cheon Yoo-seong are waiting here for a while. The administrators will find out that Moorim intervened in the system, so sooner or later they will open the way to the ballroom.”
“okay. I will be waiting patiently.”
Elise nodded slightly.
good.
I’ve roughly sorted out the situation, so let’s go soon.
It was when Jinhyeok was about to go to the gate with Teresa.
“Kang Jin-hyeok.”
Chun Yoo-seong opened his mouth.
What followed was quite unexpected.
“Come back safely.”
“Yeah. Do you think I’m worth living for a long time? Does the swordsman in the world worry about me?”
“It means don’t die to anyone other than me.”
shit. I was almost touched, but that was cancelled.
You have to hope for a battle fanatic who only knows how to fight to the marrow.
Still…
‘It’s not a bad feeling.’
Unlike the life of loitering around the tower alone, this time there was someone who worried and waited for me.
‘That’s also a colleague who will become a sacrifice for copying and will be useful depending on the situation.’
I hope we will continue to work together in the future. Until the day the deceased corporation goes beyond the KOSPI and is incorporated into the Dow.
– You must be thinking evil thoughts again. It might be the way for humanity to just get rid of it now.
-It’s dirty from the expression, but he’s perfect for a real vampire. You have to change it up when you’re sleeping.
– To go alone with Mr. Jinhyeok…
Each of them has different thoughts.
A dazzling light emanated from the gate.
＊＊＊
Headquarters of the Chinese Guild located in Beijing, China.
This place was now half-destroyed by the approaching storm of great magic.
“This kind of nonsense…”
“Oh my God.”
Everyone looked blankly at the approaching dark clouds.
Even though we were still far away… The pressure that weighed down our whole body was like facing a mountain.
…that’s it.
Come now, wherever you run away.
The remaining people gathered their strength and launched a counterattack.
Results won’t change.
“Whoa…”
A woman wearing a black suit with straight hair tied in a ponytail.
Shao Ting, who is in charge of the Headquarters Security Office, calmed down his trembling breathing.
She was virtually the only ranker level player here.
“I know it’s the worst, but I think everyone knows what will happen if Outbreak is left unattended.”
Representative large-scale outbreaks that occurred in Amsterdam in Europe, New York in the United States, and Rio in Brazil.
What the result was was clearly etched in everyone’s mind.
hell.
Yes. It was a living hell.
without any hope.
“Ha, but are you saying that we have to defend this place alone without other rankers?”
“you’re right. We need to contact them right now and ask for help.”
“It is impossible for us. At least Namgungcheon-nim should come…”
The whitened players backed away.
As for the raw meat, even if all the rankers came to flock to it, they would be worried. You’re going to fight with only this member?
How is that different from being used as a meat shield while normal citizens flee?
Since most of them joined the guild for money and honor rather than a sense of duty, they did not have the slightest thought of giving their lives for others.
But it was just then.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
[The ‘Three Despairs’ are manifesting!]
Lightning began to rain through the thick dark clouds.
After a while, what appeared along with the thunderstorm was…
Despair.
It was itself.
“Keeeh!”
The Black Scorpion roared wildly.
I just let out a voice.
Even so. All the windows of the building were shattered.
Physical force was forced simply by the wave of magical power.
rattle!
The players of the Chinese Guild who were trying to escape froze on the spot.
Shao Ting’s body stiffened as well.
‘I can’t believe… I thought it would have been like this.’
The magic I felt at first was just a fragment. The fully revealed monster did not even dare to measure its bottom.
cooong! cooong! cooong!
The Black Scorpion followed the signs engraved on the players of the Chinese Guild.
A distance that narrows at a rapid pace.
1km 700m… 300m! The building right in front of you has now been demolished.
Wow!
“Aaaaaagh!”
“Save people!”
“Please anyone…!”
Citizens screamed madly and started to run away.
However, it was not so easy to run away in the clogged city.
Roads cracked and telephone poles were smashed like toothpicks.
The number of casualties also increased uncontrollably.
“We have to fight!”
Shaoting suppressed his fear and volunteered to take the lead.
“Damn it!”
“Shit! All together!”
The players of the Chinese Guild reflexively threw themselves. It was because he knew best that he could not get away from that speed even if he ran away.
Kagagagak!
Kagak!
Various weaponry struck the Black Scorpion’s skin.
The timing of running out of the building was also because he had undergone rigorous training in his own way. The timing to stab Black Scorpion in the blind spot was also perfect.
of course.
By covering the blade with sword energy, instead of getting a fatal wound, it only enhanced the temper of the Black Scorpion.
“Kieack!”
A dark red tail pierced the man’s torso.
[Black Scorpion uses his unique ability, ‘Neurotoxin’!]
Knock!
“It’s big… how many hundred?”
As the venom was injected, thick streams of blood gushed out of the man’s eyes and nose.
It is an attack that lightly tramples armor and defense skills.
one per blow.
Every time the tail moves, a player loses a life.
“Kuk!”
Shaoting quickly jumped away.
The thought that he had to do something made his movements even faster.
A pair of daggers held in both hands shimmered with dazzling light.
It was at least 2 levels higher than the sword skill expressed by previous players.
‘I have to aim for a place where the outer skin is relatively fragile.’
[Shao Ting activates Lv8 ‘Shinshinbo (輕身步)’!]
Shao Ting moved from the front, back, left and right of the Black Scorpion.
fault! fault!
fast.
The movement that left an afterimage as if it were blinking had no choice but to spit out exclamations.
“Kieack!”
Because of its speed, the Black Scorpion’s claws stretched across the air.
Did it get on your nerves to rant in front of you on the topic of flying flies?
The Black Scorpion suddenly stomped its feet.
cooong!
A thick layer of dust rose along the ground.
vision is obscured
At the same time, the claws and poison needles on the tail aimed at Xiaoting from three directions.
Of course, even that was a move that fell under the category of Xiao Ting’s calculations.
‘now!’
Xiao Ting turned around in the air with all his might.
Then, with the daggers held in both hands, he aimed at the exposed ship.
Confident that the swordsmanship would work here.
however.
“You don’t have any… weakness?”
An earthquake occurred in Xiaoting’s pupils.
Kakak!
not pierced
No, I didn’t even get that common wound.
As if any attack was useless.
While Shaoting is frustrated with reality. The Black Scorpion’s claws snatched Shaoting’s torso at once.
“Aagh!”
Shaoting screamed as her throat burst as she applied force to the claw.
I tried desperately to escape, but to no avail.
It was a set procedure for the body to split into two if a little more force was applied.
“Stop!”
“shit!”
Colleagues tried to save Shaoting, but the moment they entered Black Scorpion’s range, a thick spray of blood gushed out.
More than ten players were swept away in one blow.
Now there are no colleagues left by the side. The players who were regarded as the best in China were mere insignificance in front of that monster.
In a clouding consciousness.
Xiao Ting thought for the last time.
‘done.’
Namgungcheon and the rankers abandoned the Chinese Guild.
The players of the remaining guilds will be horribly torn apart.
The corpses of countless people will form a mountain.
with a crying little child. I saw the collapsed parents hugging their children.
But there is no way to save them. Because it was impossible to stand in front of a natural disaster with human power.
‘…’
Shaoting gave up everything and closed his eyes.
But at that very moment.
[The glacier-shaped ‘Sword of the Sky’ activates!]
A stalk of ice descending from the sky.
[Glacier-shaped ‘Earth Sword’ is activated!]
The ice stems rising from the ground collided into one.
The air… has changed.
The cold wind gently brushed Xiao Ting’s hair.
What could it be? This feeling…
It was dangerous as if consciousness would be cut off.
pounding! Throb! Throb!
For some reason, my heart was beating faster than ever.
