Episode 170. Ancient Species (1)
Completely blocked retreat.
“It’s over…”
“Damn it.”
“It’s all wrong. It’s all wrong now!”
A sad exclamation escaped from the mouths of those who were watching.
I evaded the attack with a spirited movement, but that also ends here.
If you aim from the front and the back at the same time, no matter how raw meat you are, even a ranker won’t survive.
as if to prove it.
The black sphere and the cannibal plant aimed at Jinhyeok at the same time.
The thorns beyond recognition rushed towards Jinhyeok’s heart.
Dozens of vines also fell to crush Jinhyeok’s entire body.
Right then.
The hidden card that Jinhyeok prepared while running away was activated.
[Lv9 ‘Element of Fire’ is activated!]
[Inherent ability ‘Blessing of the Stars’ is activated!] As the energy
of the stars permeated the flames left on the lamppost, a huge flame broke out.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Wow!
As if dozens of tons of gunpowder exploded, the surroundings instantly turned into a sea of fire.
The haze of smoke obscuring the view was an inevitable result.
In addition, due to the protection of the stars, it is possible to confuse ‘vibration detection’, so it is a perfect surprise.
‘now…!’
Jinhyeok moved, aiming for that gap.
‘The reason why despair don’t attack each other is because they recognize their unique vital signs.’
This is the reason why they do not harm each other even though they possess overwhelming power.
but.
‘In other words, if you only find out where the vital signals are sent, you can use their system against them.’
Even in the smoke, Jinhyeok accurately flew toward the plant.
Due to the ‘Blessing of the Stars’, the vibration detection was confused, so I was able to dig inside without any hindrance.
“Keeeh?”
The fragile inner bark was visible between the twitching vines.
At first glance, they are all green inner skins that look the same.
However, the corner of Jinhyeok’s mouth went up.
‘As expected this time, I hid it in the 7th peak.’
The point is not to simply look at everything, but to find a place where the flow of magical power subtly differs.
And according to the habit of the second despair, its position was always the innermost.
Perhaps instinctively you want to hide your fatal weakness. what would this mean
Jinhyeok quickly ripped off one part of the epidermis.
OK.
“Keew!”
Suddenly, the plants started to glow.
It’s because the part that controls vital signs was destroyed, so he suddenly fell into a panic.
Dozens of vines destroyed whatever was in front of them.
Wow!
The building that took a direct hit was destroyed in one blow.
Even looking at it again, it is so powerful that it can be said that it is ignorant.
But what I’m really aiming for is…
a sphere that responds to its indiscriminate attacks.
The moment when a random vine hit the surface of the sphere.
dreaming
The surface of the sphere is distorted.
[The third despair ‘Abyssal Sphere’ uses the unique ability ‘Erosion Thorn’!]
Indescribable magic arose from the sphere.
Pooh-!
A clear, penetrating sound first hit the eardrum.
Soon after, green bodily fluid spurted out from the body of the plant, which had vents all over its body.
In an instant, dozens of thorns protruding from the sphere slashed the plant’s entire body.
“Key…i…iee.”
The fact that it is large has turned into a disadvantage at this moment.
The bigger the target, the easier it was to aim.
cooong!
A huge plant collapsed on the spot.
[The second despair has been extinguished.]
＊＊＊
‘With this, two…’
Jinhyeok nodded slightly, as if satisfied.
It’s called yijei.
It is best to overcome despair with the same despair.
Of course, it was the most ideal picture to treat the spheres on the plant side, but considering the level difference between the two, that is greed.
‘Anyway, the level doesn’t go up.’
Indirect intervention was often recognized as experience, but it was an exception for monsters of despair level.
Unless you’re directly involved, you can’t get experience points or items.
‘It’s definitely a pity that I can’t eat all of them.’
But if you can handle just the last orb, you’ll get the best rewards you’ve ever gotten.
[If you deal with all three catastrophes, you can obtain the highest rank reward related to the target’s unique ability.] It
was difficult to guess exactly which reward it was because the category of the adjective ‘related’ was so ambiguous.
What is certain is that they are rewarded for accomplishing near-impossible tasks.
In the past, they gave overrank fusion materials, but I was already looking forward to what they would give me this time.
But that was just then.
“…omg!?”
Jinhyeok reflexively swung his fangs.
Kwaaang!
The black thorn collided head-on with the blade.
He barely managed to get into orbit, but he unknowingly frowned at the heavy feeling transmitted to the tips of his bones.
damn it
Does that guy know exactly where we are, even in this smoke?
To see it as a coincidence, I was aiming for the perfect vital spot.
I knew that he had a higher level of detection ability than vibration detection, but…
I can’t believe he couldn’t be fooled even with the protection of the stars.
How the hell do you mean you have a sense organ that you eat? that guy
Jinhyuk quickly regained his stance.
It comes again.
Aiming for this precisely enough to give goosebumps.
Quaang!
Kwaaang!
Red flames rose from the smoke with a roar.
A spear of speed beyond cognition.
A dagger that responds only with experience and reflexes.
A battle unfolded that was difficult to follow even with the naked eye.
Each one was bloody and unmatched, but the match was seldom won.
OK.
The attack stopped like a lie.
At the same time, a hard voice flowed from the sphere.
[…What an annoying human being.]
Through the now completely cleared smoke, the surface of the sphere could be seen distorted.
That wood-stone-like killing weapon is finally opening its mouth.
but. At this point, I’d just be annoyed.
It was impossible for a normal player to even parry his first attack.
“I don’t think I’m the type to be loved anywhere.”
Usually, I get sick from a vase.
I used to give up on the conversation because I couldn’t win.
[Do you want this side to be excited by provoking words? not a bad way The one who takes the initiative will be able to design the situation to their advantage.] A
mechanical voice continued.
Anyway….
There’s no fun provoking a guy this blunt.
If there is at least a burning taste, then stab it a few more times.
“so. If you open your mouth that was tightly closed, if you continue like this, only parallel lines will run. I’m going to give up on your side and go back to my pitiful grave… Is this what you mean?”
[No way. It seems that there will be no end to flies that are annoying like you, so from now on I will deal with them properly.]
That was then. The shape of the sphere began to change.
Ripples appeared on the smooth surface.
It was swollen and trimmed in shape.
After a while, when the turbulent waves stop. The round sphere had changed into a human shape.
[The third despair, ‘Nameless’, manifests.]
A black body whose whole body is colored in a single color.
It had no eyes, nose and mouth, but its shape was unmistakably human.
“Hmm. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been like this.”
Nameless warmed up lightly and stretched out her hand.
Crunchy!
A black thorn about 1.5m long protruded from the palm.
“Where… Shall we start lightly with one window?”
Nameless assumed a posture as if throwing a javelin.
In an instant, the air froze.
“…!”
As he said, the reason why he gave up the advantage of recoil and took on a human form was not to warm up his body.
It is gathering strength.
Because I knew that small attacks were useless. In order to prepare a bigger shot….
to be precise, an overwhelming shot that couldn’t deflect the trajectory.
As soon as he thought about it, Jinhyeok’s body reacted first.
hooked!
Fangs stuck into the ground.
[‘Mandala(曼茶羅)’ part changed.]
Parts, Tsutsutsu…!
A golden barrier appeared.
[Section 1 (Section 1) ‘Severance of Thoughts’ is activated!]
When a 3-layered barrier was added through ‘Moon Imprint’, white rune words appeared on the barrier.
A sturdy-looking shield blocked the gap between Jinhyeok and Nameless.
“Hoo. Did he sense a crisis even though he deliberately didn’t use magic? I can only say that this is an excellent intuition.”
Nameless let out an exclamation as if she was sincerely admiring it.
And it would be nice to do it almost at the same time.
Black thorns twisted like a pretzel were thrown.
Paaang!
A sonic boom created by breaking through the speed of sound.
What followed was a blow that could be called the strongest spear.
Jinhyeok did his best to raise his mana.
The light in the rune language grew thicker.
That moment.
Aaaaaang!
The thorn collided with the shield implemented as a mandala.
“Big!”
Jinhyeok bit his molar.
I almost lost my mind from the shock beyond imagination, but somehow I didn’t let go of my consciousness.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A shield almost broken in half.
The first barrier was shattered when they collided, and the second barrier was also pierced.
However, the thorns with rotational power still did not lose their power.
Layers of barriers peeled off and the thorns approached Jinhyeok’s face.
Now 10 cm.
It was exactly that far before the spikes shattered the skull.
‘At this rate…’
…It’s dangerous.
However, it was already too late to avoid it.
The thorn that completely destroyed the barrier hit Jinhyeok’s face.
Fuck!
Jinhyuk’s head tilted back.
“Kuh… Bhm…”
With the sound of the wind blowing.
The body slowly fell backwards.
＊＊＊
“Mr. Jinhyeok…?”
Theresa stammered.
My lips trembled at the sight so absurd.
“No kidding, right? Come on, wake up…. Come on. Come on!”
I checked to see if I had seen it wrong, but the thorn had pierced Jinhyeok’s head.
With that wound, no one would survive.
“Don’t worry too much. Soon, you guys will be sent to his side as well.”
Nameless pulled out another thorn.
“You’re killing us too…?”
“okay. You too have disturbed the rest of the tomb. I will kill you and all humans everywhere you belong.”
“For just that reason… you mean you’re doing this with just something that disturbed your sleep?”
“Don’t judge the seriousness of a sin by your petty standard. From our point of view, it is a mortal sin that cannot be washed away even with blood.”
“Hahaha…”
Sadness and futility.
And beyond all that, a long-suppressed anger wriggled.
Theresa’s heart thumped violently, as if she were overcome with emotion.
at the same time.
Jureuk.
A tear rolled down Teresa’s eye. Unusually, the tears were faintly black.
Gentle waves rose on the surface of Nameless.
“…Is the divine power changing? It’s a fun ability.”
A rare phenomenon that can be called an anomaly.
but.
“If you get rid of that power before it fully blooms, that’s all.”
Nameless still held the spear in an unchanging voice.
Just like this, kill Teresa and wipe out the Chinese Guild and other humans with the mark.
however.
This change was not the only one.
Creepy!
Nameless’ body froze in place.
The place where the gaze was directed was the place where Jinhyeok fell.
There is something there.
Something that even trembled in fear, maintaining the order and balance of the middle class.
Right then.
[The subspace inventory is forcibly opened.]
Something that sensed the owner’s death reacted.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
The sub-space inventory, which stretched nearly 20m, was unrealistic.
“This is…”
The first change came in Nameless’ voice.
It had to be.
Right now, what is coming out of the other side…
Because it was an existence that could not be restrained by the steps of the tower.
cooong!
Footsteps that feel the weight of a large mountain.
If there is an end to magic, this is what I am talking about.
“Oohhh!”
A shrill roar split the clouds and stirred the air.
It was despair and disaster in the true sense.
