Episode 238. Players’ world (3)
The work at the fortress was over, but the phones in the middle layer were not all turned off.
The border area between the divine kingdom of Sedes and Murim.
This place was currently declared in a state of war due to two high-ranking demons.
Deng! Deng! Deng! Deng!
The gates opened wide with the sound of bells.
“All civilians, evacuate inside the castle! There’s no time to take care of miscellaneous things, so come inside now!”
The captain of the guard let out a chorus of voices.
A situation where all detached units, including rangers and knights, have already been wiped out.
All that was left was to believe in the castle walls and the Order of the Holy Knights, which had been strengthened with divine power.
“As soon as the last refugee enters, lock the gates!”
If you persevere and persevere somehow, the Empire will send you support.
Until then, you must defend the walls at any cost.
Right then.
“Oohhh!”
“Kick-kick-kick.”
A sound like a beast’s roar echoed in the distance.
Disasters that are approaching even now.
It was Magdra and Shelkerim.
Magdra was a knight holding a helberd with a huge body of about 7m.
In contrast, Shelkerim resembled the appearance of an adult woman.
Of course, since they each hold a thin and long scythe and a glass marble containing a soul, they are quite far from ordinary women.
The two Demons, who had joined forces in preparation for the first time after Antrad was defeated, were in the process of trampling both the Empire and Murim formations without hesitation.
For several hours, countless soldiers attacked like bees, but all turned into cold corpses.
There was not a single fearless human standing in his way any longer.
It was when the first goal, the divine kingdom of Sedes, was just around the corner.
with the sound of stepping on blades of grass.
Sabak.
A shadow appeared in front of the two demons.
“That’s it.”
“Another stranger has appeared.”
“Giggle. Who said it? Humans don’t seem to have the ability to learn at all. The Templars and thousands of troops couldn’t stop us. But did you think you could face us alone? Seriously?”
As if the two demons were not the same, he raised his magic power.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
The pressure that oppressed the whole body was not at a level that humans could dare to endure.
That moment.
A skein of blond hair flowed down the dazzling white armor.
“It’s possible. If it’s me,”
the turquoise eyes stared straight ahead.
“No… if it’s ‘us’.”
It was Saint Teresa of Amsterdam.
[Teresa uses her unique ability ‘Blessing of the Stars’!]
A dazzling radiance falling from the sky.
Theresa’s blade was stained white.
The divine power, which boasts superlative power among the demons, is combined with the ability of a player who stands at the top of this field among players.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!
The light, strengthened by the ‘Blessing of the Stars’, crossed at once in a straight line.
A storm beyond imagination swallowed the two demons.
＊＊＊
Chiyiik!
Thick smoke rising from the ground.
The long scar along the forest seemed to tell how powerful the attack had been.
However, even the divine light was not enough to suffocate the demons.
Although they took some damage, Magdra and Shelkerim, who were still alive, appeared.
“Is it a paladin? It’s pretty fierce.”
“Gigkick! That’s right. Among the paladin guys I’ve met so far, he’s still the most usable.”
Magdra and Shelkerim each murmured.
It’s a fairly strong paladin, but that’s a story at the level of humans.
They could never be their adversaries.
It strikes at once and cuts off the breath.
And he intended to go into the castle behind him and slaughter all the humans inside.
however.
On the other side of the forest, another human figure appeared.
that buck
This time, it was an old man of an older age, dressed in light clothing.
One of the two pillars supporting the Heavenly Demon.
It was dark.
“Heh heh. Were you in the middle of the day? I guess I interjected a little vaguely.”
The Dark Emperor burst out laughing.
A feeling of heaviness in light steps.
Even though they were just talking, the air changed.
“…!”
“…”
Magdra and Shelkerim also raised their demons in an unusual atmosphere.
It was instinctively felt.
Rather than a paladin who uses holy power, this old man is far more dangerous.
Dark Emperor’s gaze turned to Teresa.
“Hmm. Who is Soje?
“I am a player from Europe.”
“You’re a player… You’re talking about someone who has nothing to do with this stairway. But why are you risking your life for something like this?”
Teresa hesitated for a moment at the Dark Emperor’s question.
why you came here
Why do you dare to step forward even when there is no stake?
Because I can’t stand to see innocent ordinary citizens get involved?
Of course, there are reasons for that.
But the biggest reason is…
“Because I was asked by someone dear to me. Please help me save the people here.”
Jinhyeok trusted him and asked for it.
No more reason was needed.
“…I see, so it seems that another person Baeksa talked about was Sojeo.”
“If it’s Baeksa… Could it be that Grandpa also received Jinhyeok-ssi’s request?”
Theresa’s eyes widened.
“Heh heh, in his later years he was mistakenly called a disciple, and then he got his nose pierced. Oh wow, what is his talent…”
Amhwang let out a self-deprecating laugh and added a word.
“Still, seeing as there are people who don’t mind giving up on his words, it doesn’t seem like he was in vain.”
A warm smile spread across his face.
This probably means that your choice wasn’t wrong.
Dark Hwang took a step forward.
at the same time.
cooong!
Cracks appeared in the ground.
The land cracked like a tortoise shell.
As if to say that he would never allow anything to stand in his way.
The weight of this step was heavy.
[Dokmun martial arts ‘Heukcheon Demon Hwanggong(黑天魔皇功)’ blooms.]
Magical power shimmered like the depths of the sea.
Truly overwhelming power.
“If so, which one will attack first? I don’t care if two of them attack at once.”
Dark Emperor stretched out his hand toward the two demons.
＊＊＊
“Kick! You’re so proud.”
Shelkerim slung a long scythe over his shoulder.
“I’ll take care of this old woman. You take care of her.”
“Okay. Don’t be vigilant. Even if you don’t know about women, that old man is formidable.”
“You really don’t get hurt while playing.”
“That’s a really boring joke.”
Magdra held back a sneer.
At the level Teresa had just shown, there wasn’t even a single variable that could exist.
All you have to do is organize it quickly, join Shelkerim, and take care of that old man.
Wow!
Kwaaang!
Soon after, the battle between Dark Emperor and Shelkerim began.
As befits a mid-level demon, Shelkerim began unleashing various curses and magic.
Only in the tricky and deadly kinds.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
And the martial arts of the Dark Emperor against him were far beyond the human category.
Terrain that changes in an instant.
The strength shown by the two monsters was so different that the map had to be redrawn.
“I’m sorry, but I have to join them too. So let’s end the fight with you quickly.”
Magdra raised the huge Helbird high.
Confident that the match would be decided in one blow.
However, the sight that followed…
“Huh?”
Magdra had to breathe in vain.
“Okay. I’ll finish it quickly.”
[Theresa activates ‘Corruption’.]
Black tears flowed down her white cheeks.
Pupils that turned ominous and slightly raised corners of the mouth.
What was even more surprising was the quality and type of magical energy emanating from her body.
The divine light had disappeared before I knew it. The black flame rising from the sword had a vicious aura.
Whoa!
Dark red light flickered along Teresa’s sword.
A truly eye-opening bird.
A thin, fine line pierced Magdra’s body.
hooked!
Red blood gushed from Magdra’s back.
“Gagging?”
The barrier surrounding the demon has been breached?
Such nonsense…
Magdra looked at Theresa in disbelief.
“The Sundingi guy said, ‘We’ can win.”
A sweet voice coming from an alluring figure.
Teresa swung the shield imbued with divine power and the sword imbued with corrupted magic in one breath.
＊＊＊
A major event in which 4 demons were manifested by demons.
Exactly two days have passed since the apocalyptic catastrophe occurred.
Antrad, which appeared first, was destroyed by the hands of Jinhyeok and Cheon Yooseong. Magdra and Shelkerim were killed by Teresa and a mysterious old man in the meadow of Sedes in the Holy Kingdom.
“…You don’t know who killed the last Belmariel, right?”
Jinhyeok asked Chun Yuseong, who was walking next to him.
“Yes. Due to the structure of the ‘Hall of Fame’, where only one upload is made per day, the person who killed the last demon will be revealed tomorrow.”
I thought Teresa and Master would be able to take care of the demons, but… I
couldn’t figure out who was responsible for taking care of Belmariel.
‘I mean, whoever it is, it’s pretty talented…’
Who is it?
Jinhyeok, lost in thought, smiled.
This is why the Tower of Trials is fun.
It’s because the elements that stimulate curiosity keep popping up.
“Don’t laugh at yourself like a child. Rather than that, when are you planning to give the item that came out as a reward?”
“Ah… that? I should have told you right away. I sold everything two days later and am completely broke.”
“What, what? No, you mean you sold what we hunted together without consulting you?”
“Originally, there is a statute of limitations on this floor, but if it is not resolved on the same day, it will be over. Try playing this game for a day or two?”
Which game claims an item after a few days?
If you don’t find it at that time, it’s the end as it is.
“Besides, in a little while, you’re going to go to the imperial capital and get a reward for this work directly from the emperor? I’m satisfied with that.”
The whole empire was enthusiastic about this, wondering if it was the return of the heroes or what. The purpose of strengthening the imperial authority is greater, but since the emperor held a large-scale banquet and said he would open
a non-gong
peddler to the players… .
“This fucking bastard… is that what you’re talking about! No matter how much you…”
Cheon Yoo-seong ran wild at the robbery’s logic, but Jin-hyeok had already covered his ears with two fingers for a long time.
Then, this time, Alice, who was on the other side, poked Jinhyuk’s side with his finger.
“It’s all good, but can’t we eat and go? I’m really hungry after walking for several hours.”
“Mosquitoes!”
Alice and Sweet Potato insisted on a meal.
“Are we hungry for mosquitoes?”
Jinhyeok ‘s voice softened.
I just returned to Jinhyeok’s place at dawn, but the quality of my magical power has definitely changed. It has grown tremendously.
Of
course, it’s still cute enough to bite me.
The 5 spirits are also resting in the subspace inventory. So, I’ll call him sooner or later to find out how much he’s grown.
” Did our sweet potatoes suffer? Eat a lot. Eat it all.”
Jinhyeok held the sweet potato tightly and put the bone snack with magic stones in his mouth.
“Mosquito! Mosquitoes!”
The sweet potato moved its mouth continuously while wriggling.
“Hey, what about me?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve prepared a special meal for you too.”
“Oh. be special okay. Is it fine wine? Or the finest steak? The previous dish of sea urchin mixed with blue crab meat wasn’t bad either. speak quickly What is the special meal?”
Elise’s eyes twinkled.
Small, black wings quickly fluttered up and down, as if she had a great appetite.
“Mint chocolate. There is a special half-gallon size full of them.”
He said that he put in more than the amount, so oh wow. You should be able to eat stuffed all day long.
“Do you want to die? Do you want to hide? Choose one of the two.”
Alice’s expression cooled down.
Anyway , why are
there so many people who don’t know about this taste?
It was when Jinhyeok and Alice were arguing.
Chun Yu-seong stopped walking.
“Who is there?”
Come to think of it
, there was a person standing at the end of the road where there was a unique tree.
With the war between the Empire and the Murims breaking out and even the demons rampaging, there could be no civilians in a place like this. However , the moment he saw that
person
‘s face,
‘Yes, that guy was also on the 20th floor…’
Jinhyeok’s pupils trembled slightly
.
How could I not know,
one of the many residents of the tower I most wanted to meet.
