Episode 171. Ancient species (2)
Spirit beasts and phantom beasts in the Tower of Trials exist in this world only as clones, not as their main bodies.
It means that only a part of the body lives in the tower while being subordinated to another dimension.
And there is a medium that allows them to exist in the tower.
That is the horsepower that the contractor supplies.
Spirits and phantoms who have completed normal contracts refuse to appear in the tower if their energy source is cut off… but
even in this case, there is an exception.
A case in which a relationship of trust with the master is deep and he desires to return to the present world even while consuming his body’s mana.
In this case, he was able to manifest in the tower even while rejecting restrictions.
like right now
[The ancient species ‘???’ is manifesting!]
No more rhetoric is needed.
Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A state where the causal rate is overloaded just by existing.
What appeared here was not a small, toddling reptile with black scales.
Even with the gate open nearly 20m, only the head and part of the upper body could barely come out.
No matter how little you catch the main body, it will reach hundreds of meters.
Charleuk!
The half-protruded head of the sweet potato stopped abruptly due to the golden chains that bound its whole body.
“Oohhh!”
Yellow eyes like pumpkins turned to Nameless.
“How could the ancient species…”
The Nameless froze in place.
If it was simply an ancient species, I wouldn’t have been so surprised.
The reason he’s panicking right now is that the ancient servant was angry at the death of the contractor and consumed his body’s magic power.
Since ancient species were promised eternal life, making a contract with humans was nothing more than a game.
When a human dies, it will always be abandoned and find a new owner.
But still behaving like this…
‘Did he trust me that much?’
There was no other way to explain it.
“If I went on a rampage here, it would be an act of sacrificing your lifespan, right?”
Nameless slowly opened her mouth.
In fact, this was the only threat he could make.
however. It seems like it doesn’t matter anyway.
Whoa!
A dazzling light gathered in the sweet potato’s mouth.
The strongest skill that only dragons possess.
Breath.
And beyond that, the ‘Unique Singer’ of the ancient species was manifested.
[The ancient species ??? summons the ‘Sword of Condemn’.]
Roaring!
The fire burned even more fiercely.
All the moisture in the air began to evaporate.
The haze that spread along the ground seemed to foretell what would happen to this place in a moment.
“Keugh!”
Dangerous.
After making that decision, Nameless pulled out a black shield.
Even at a glance, the shield covered in layers of thorns was unremarkable.
Since the effect of absolute judgment to protect the tomb of the royal family was endowed, of course it was inevitable.
And right at that moment.
Shootaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
line sikimyeo sikimyeo cross the building.
All the civilians evacuated while Jinhyeok took time.
There were only two left, Teresa and Shaoting.
It means that it doesn’t matter if you run wild without hesitation.
Parts Tsutsu!
The flames gathered at one point burned even more fiercely.
The red fireball soon turned blue.
Soon it turned into a dark red heukyeom (黑炎).
But it doesn’t end here.
White.
A pure white cataclysm that returns everything to nothingness.
This is one of the strongest fires in existence.
“Damn it. Lifespan is always good, isn’t it!”
Nameless shouted.
can not understand.
What the hell is that human being?
What the hell is a human who has already died!
But just then
As Nameless looked in the direction of the corpse, her mouth opened rapidly.
A red mouth popped up on the black surface.
‘That’s… can’t it?’
I’ve seen it for sure.
Even while everyone’s eyes are focused in this direction.
There is a human standing up leisurely in the starlight.
“Wait a minute!”
Nameless urgently pointed to the place where Jinhyeok was.
wait and see!
You mean you can’t see a human over there eating popcorn, bouncing around like a freshly caught flounder!
But it’s already too late.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
It was because the flames compressed to the limit crossed the ground.
“Quaaaaa!”
Before Nameless could even react, white flames engulfed Nameless.
＊＊＊
Rebar and concrete evaporated completely.
There were scars left on the ground, as if they had been scratched by wild beasts.
“It’s… ugh.”
The black shield has long since disappeared.
Nameless, whose upper body was left alone, let out a heavy silence.
that buck
Someone approached with the sound of footsteps.
“I thought you had no sense of pain, but after taking human form, you can feel pain?”
It was Jinhyeok.
Like saying when did you get hit. The face was completely intact.
“Is this on purpose… that you were hurt?”
“That’s how it is.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
No matter how strong the three despairs are, will they be defeated by those in the middle of the tower?
It was a little annoying, but if you fought properly, you could have won without any variables.
But if so. Theresa couldn’t have created an opportunity to awaken.
One of the basic conditions for ‘fall’ is to witness the death of a precious person.
“Still, you are pretty strong. There aren’t many people who can maintain their shape even after being hit by the unique spear of the ancient species.”
sincerely.
Both offensive and defensive power are tongue-in-cheek.
Among the players, it must be said that no one can defeat this guy in a head-to-head match.
“That kind of thing is comforting…”
Nameless looked down at her half-swept body.
The crumbled particles turned into powder and were scattered.
Seeing that it is not regenerating, it must be that the sweet potato is strong.
“I… am so futile…”
Nameless struggled with her red mouth wide open.
Of course, that didn’t change his fate.
[The third despair has disappeared.]
Even the last despair has returned to nothing.
Because the experience of the target killed by the summoner is also eaten by the owner.
Unlike the second despair, this time you will get a huge amount of experience.
I knew it.
Immediately, a number of status windows appeared one after another in front of Jinhyeok’s eyes.
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!] [Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!] [
Level up
!]
[ Your level has risen!]
[You have achieved an amazing achievement!]
[You will be in the ‘Hall of Fame’ tomorrow for hunting all three despairs.]
A whopping 8 levels!
After hunting the Black Scorpion a while ago, I had risen to level 4. It’s like 12 levels have risen with this one raid.
Among the players, of course, there was no one who could compare.
Among the residents, it became possible to hold a fairly high level.
However, the thing I was most looking forward to was not leveling up.
It was a reward for getting rid of the most infernal despair.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
Jinhyuk’s heart beat fast.
After suffering this much, of course, they should be rewarded enough to turn their eyes away.
What is it?
Now is the time to check.
Just when I thought so.
Tring!
[In return for defeating the 3rd despair ‘Nameless’, a reward for the player’s unique ability will be given.] [‘Copy Free Pass’ has been given.] [
Copy
Free Pass]
Difficulty to obtain: Unknown ( There is no precedent for acquiring this item yet, i.e. you will be the first user of this item)
Content: You will be able to copy one of the unique abilities and skills of every being you have encountered in the Tower so far. However, it is limited only if you have directly observed the target’s skill.
There are no absurd and difficult copy conditions to the point of absurdity.
If you have only seen it once, the condition is satisfied.
Dry saliva ran down Jinhyeok’s neck.
This is…
awesome.
From when I played Tower of Trials in the past to now when it became a reality.
I was sure that I had encountered numerous giyeons.
Among them, I have never experienced such an overwhelming reward as now.
＊＊＊
[Faction selection match has ended.]
[All players in the labyrinth will be forced to move to the masquerade ballroom.]
The faction selection is over with the unlawful intervention of the Moorim and Chinese guilds revealed.
Whoa!
I thought there were bright lights flickering here and there.
The players appeared in the ballroom one by one.
“Keuuuuu…”
“I bought and lived.”
“You can’t do that twice. damn it It feels like I ate 10 years at once.”
Everyone looks tired.
At most, I had only climbed the 10th floor of the tower, but I went to the labyrinth on the 25th floor out of nowhere, so I had to do that.
No matter how much survival was guaranteed from the monsters and traps in the labyrinth, the pressure everyone felt was beyond imagination.
On the other hand.
‘It’s been a while since I had a worthwhile day.’
Jinhyeok stretched out.
With the Chinese guild organized in one room and the spirits of the 5 elements in hand, the true winner of this faction selection match has been decided.
In particular, after defeating the three major despairs in China, the level and various rewards raised were staggering even to think about.
as if to prove it.
Tring!
[Public value will be updated.] [
Current public value ranking]
1st place: Kang Jin-hyuk (7565100P)
2nd place: Liaoyu (4450P)
3rd place: Namgungcheon (3190P)
4th place: Teresa (2250P)
5th place: Chun Yu-seong ( 2130P)
6th place: Yoshio (1125P)
….
whopping 7.5 million points.
Not only did he see through all the hidden abilities of the Horn of Despair, but he also proved his ability to create a whole board using it… It was only
natural that his achievement value had pierced the ceiling.
Above all, the scene of saving China from the three despairs that wiped out the entire Chinese guild was enough to make the hearts of the worn-out tower residents beat.
‘I’m already trying to see my hips shaking.’
Jinhyuk raised his head.
Should I say that I can feel the excited magical powers going wild all the way through my skin?
It was clear that the forces waiting on the second floor were impatient.
It’s crazy that the admins are blocking it. If no one got in his way, he must have jumped down to the first floor to kidnap him.
at that time.
“hmm?”
Jinhyuk’s senses caught something.
This time it’s the first floor, not the second floor.
Where his eyes were directed, there was a player who was also covered in scars.
The master of the samurai guild and a ranker called the best sword in Japan. It was Yoshio.
‘Oh right. I haven’t been able to copy this guy’s abilities yet.’
He moved so much that he had no time to catch his breath, so there was no time to meet him.
I already got the right to a free pass, but isn’t my ability the best?
It is nonsense to throw away the chance to acquire ranker skills.
Jinhyeok recalled Yoshio’s copying conditions once again.
1. Use someone other than yourself to subdue Yoshio. However, the other person here means the player.
2. If you fail, you may step forward yourself, but in that case you cannot use any weapons you own. Instead, you must use one of the forks, chopsticks, spoons, or pencils to knock out your opponent.
Since the selection of the house is scheduled to begin in a while, there is no time to directly hit and run.
Above all, there is not enough justification to suddenly quarrel.
Let’s see….
How can I handle copying conditions most easily and perfectly?
oh!
I just remembered something good.
A plan that could be called diabolical.
