Episode 252. Ataraxia, pure-blooded empress (2)
“Uh-uh…”
Amulam froze on the spot.
It feels like my whole body shrivels and my eyes burn just by facing them.
open this.
this horsepower.
…on a completely different level.
‘I thought I wouldn’t be able to use it until the unique holy spear due to the contract with the player.’
It was an illusion.
As he said, such a penalty is not even a level to hold back.
Is this the strongest lineage of Ataraxia?
‘Even after all that time, the gap hasn’t narrowed at all…’
Amulam’s head was stained with despair.
Right then.
Roaring!
A short spear made of flame was formed in Elise’s palm.
The day surrounded by calamity moved forward.
[Ellis activates ‘Tersis’.]
“Take it.”
No propellant is needed for acceleration.
The spear that cut through the air and disappeared headed for Amulam’s head.
A barrier made of blood spread in an instant, but it couldn’t block the short spear even for a second.
Shields that break like glass walls.
Slap!
The destructive power was so strong that the head was ripped off from the neck.
But Amulam did not die.
The vampire’s terrible vitality longed for eternal life even in situations where instant death was natural.
Amulam, who had completely regenerated not only the tattered wounds but also his head, let out a rough breath.
“Hee-eok, hee-yeok, hee-eok…”
He poured too much magic into regeneration.
Moreover, Elise was about to continue the attack with her second spear in hand.
‘Damn it rain.’
No matter how much it is, it is dangerous if it is hit by that attack several times.
In fact, even though all five family heads and blood relatives attacked Alice’s unique holy spear, it was not easy to win.
It’s unreasonable in this way.
Amulam calmly accepted the reality.
Of course, I didn’t have the slightest intention of dying innocently.
‘Balmung…!’
Yes. If he could get his hands on that demonic sword that even cut down the dragon… he
should have a chance against Elise.
‘… he must be thinking.’
Jinhyeok noticed that Amulam’s eyes were on Balmung.
In fact, that was the only bow left for Amulam.
‘I’m sure he’ll have his subordinates bring Balmung while fighting Elise… Hmm.’
the problem is.
It is that the poison that spreads around Balmung is so terrible that it transcends imagination.
“Turn off….”
“Kuk! Gagging.”
In fact, the hounds sent from Decassus tried to target Balmung, but fell over, spilling blood.
The fact that vampires with strong resistance couldn’t stand it also meant that ordinary players would turn into a handful of blood in a matter of seconds.
If that’s the case…
Jinhyeok took out the items he had previously purchased from the subspace inventory.
Mist Trees in the Peshan Mountains.
Melmormant Healer’s Ointment 500g.
Fog trees are usually used for high-end decorations, and Melmormant Ointment was widely known as the finest moisturizing cream.
Two items that, at first glance, do not seem to be of any help.
However, if these two are properly mixed, a poison-resistant medicine can be made.
‘Maybe it was 3.25:1.758?’
It’s been a while, so I can’t remember the exact ratio…
but it doesn’t matter.
Even though I couldn’t memorize the numbers, my body remembered them.
[You have obtained 5mg of ‘Unknown Liquid’!]
Success.
Since this formula is not yet known in the tower, even the system has replaced it with the modifier ‘identity unknown’.
As I applied the thick, colorless and odorless liquid all over my body, the sour smell that stung my nose disappeared like a lie.
There.
[Inherent ability ‘Thousand Poison (千毒)’ is activated.]
As well as dealing with poison, I was fully prepared by covering the poison that raised my understanding of poison.
‘All I have to do now is wait.’
To be precise, I just had to wait for him to use ‘that skill’.
Jinhyeok watched the battle between the two calmly.
Kwaaang!
Puffer Puck!
Dozens of intersecting spells and bloody unique abilities.
Indeed, the level of the fight between the two absolutes was different.
It was because each one of them fired random attacks that could be said to be the strength of the boss monster.
1 minute 2 minutes. Three minutes…. Time passed.
The fierce battle that lasted for several minutes ended.
[Amulam summons ‘Bloodhounds’.]
Hounds of hell made of blood appeared.
The time we had been waiting for finally came.
fault!
…now!
Jinhyeok, who used the ‘Sword Demon Emperor’, jumped out of his seat at once and leaped forward.
from now on.
To the place where Balmung is.
＊＊＊
“Hmm?”
“That guy…?”
Amulam was paying all his attention to Elise, but not the other vampires either.
The hounds sniffed it.
He sensed that Jinhyeok was running toward Balmung.
“Aiming for Balmung?”
“It’s stupid! That’s where we can’t easily approach.”
The ridicule was imbued with the expectation of a human who would soon vomit blood and collapse.
however.
Took. fault. Tuuk…
The moment I saw Jinhyeok stretching forward so lightly, I instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
“Does the poison… not work?”
“How can you do that!”
It’s unbelievable.
But there is no time to be surprised.
“No, stop it!”
“I can’t let you go any deeper!”
If it was now, they would still be able to withstand it.
However, if you go further and pass through the place where the miasma reaches its peak, you have no choice but to hand over Balmung intact.
Vampires flew at the same time.
‘As expected, he seems to have no intention of letting go.’
Jinhyuk glanced behind him.
Vampires who followed right up to the nape of their necks were trying to wield dark red knives.
Right then.
Kaaaang!
Someone interrupted.
It was Belus, Elise’s right-hand man… and Ophelia, who belonged to Decassus.
“Leave the small pikes to us.”
“…the favor is repaid with this.”
The two vampires uttered one word at a time.
At the same time, he knocked out the blood relatives of Decassus who clung to him at once.
“Ophelia! You dirty traitor!”
“Are you going to become Ataraxia’s dog?”
An angry shout echoed through, but Ophelia did not raise an eyebrow.
As if he didn’t want to be a chess horse that would be discarded without mercy.
At first, I only thought that vampires were disgusting leeches, but it’s pretty reassuring to be on the same side.
“thank you.”
Jinhyuk nodded briefly.
Then, without looking back, he hurled his body once more towards the place where Balmung was.
＊＊＊
Awesome! thump!
The more I walked, the more the venom got worse.
Even though he applied ointment and wore a poisonous poison, it was not easy to even see ahead in the miasma of the depths.
“Cool…”
Blood flowed down his lips.
The reality was harsher than expected even though the number of cases was counted through simulations several times.
Is it true…
that a blue-grade relic is a navy-grade relic?
Jinhyeok managed to suppress his screaming muscles and took another step toward the sword.
Instinct sends a warning.
I need to get out of here right now.
If I stay in this hell even for a moment, I will die.
However, Jinhyeok suppressed his instincts.
If you get scared or give up here, all your efforts so far will be in vain.
Above all else, Elise was fighting.
‘Believing that I will succeed.’
I couldn’t give up on that wind.
What I can endure is a few tens of seconds at most.
‘If more than that elapses, it’s over.’
The sense of direction had already disappeared, but the memories of the past moved the fingertips instead.
blurred vision.
Jinhyeok leaned unconscious and reached out his hand.
Black was not caught.
His fingertips flitted through the air.
“Keuh…ugh.”
I could feel the bitter taste of iron in my mouth.
once again once again.
Don’t give up. It’s not over yet.
do your best I stretch out my hand with all my might.
There must be a Balmung near here.
But this time it’s also a failure.
A last-ditch effort was futile.
staggering
Jinhyeok’s body collapsed to the left.
But just then
The handle of the sword touched the tip of my falling finger.
OK.
Whoops!
The magic of the player and the magic of the holy relic that had been dormant for a long time resonated.
[The dragon killing sword ‘Balmung’ is awakening!]
Balmung wriggled to find a new owner.
At the same time, the poison that was spread around disappeared like a lie.
‘It’s a success…’
Jinhyeok, who felt his mind clearing, gripped Balmung even tighter.
Now, if you inject magical energy and receive Balmung’s recognition, ownership of the holy relic will be decided.
Yes, with this all plans will come to a perfect end.
Until I heard that voice right next to me.
I thought so.
“Thank you. For moving as planned. Thanks to you, I was able to put an end to this damn fight.”
Fuck!
Decassus’ fist hit Jinhyeok’s chest.
It was exactly where the heart was.
In an instant, all blood flow to the heart stopped.
“Ouch!”
A slow response is a natural result.
Amulam held Balmun in his hand.
The greatsword that exuded anticipation drew a soft curve.
“Ohhhh! Is this Balmung? Indeed, it’s the ideal sword I think. Hahaha! With this, you can win. Not to mention cancer.”
“human!”
Alice immediately tried to run to Jinhyeok.
But Amulam was one step faster.
“Don’t move. Elise. If you do, this human will die.”
Balmung dug into Jinhyeok’s skin.
If you give your finger a little more strength, it will cut your throat right away.
The war situation has been completely reversed.
“how…?”
Jinhyuk tightened his voice.
“My kinsmen failed to get close to Balmung, but I thought it would be different if it were you. I was sure you would find a way. All that was left was to summon a bloodhound and be patient. The moment you obtain Balmung, the hounds In charge of Elise, I use teleportation to go to you. What a perfect plan, isn’t it?”
There were many variables, but everything went exactly as planned.
purple.
Didn’t he actually catch two rabbits at the same time?
“The fight ended with my victory, but it’s a waste to let you die like this. The recipe for the ointment used to break through Sea Dog, as well as the reproduction of the right arm of a giant god. It was quite good for an ordinary player. No, to be honest, among my blood relatives, there is no talented person like you.
” I would be
lying if I said I didn’t covet it
. Of course not. However, even that thought will disappear after a while.”
I had no intention of making the opponent a subordinate without any restrictions.
Amulam scratched his wrist with his fingernail.
“That, that!”
“Looks like he knows what this is. That’s it. If so, then you know how futile it is to rebel.”
Red blood seemed to form, but soon fell on Jinhyeok’s lips. An oath
of family.
With the power of the family head, which directly imprints on the mind, the target who drank the blood will be eternally loyal. “…”
Jinhyeok’s pupils widened.
His
emotionless face looked no different from a corpse waiting only for orders. ”
That ‘s great.” He
pointed at Alice, who
was fighting the
SS
from
afar
.
… It was something that Amulam had never expected. It
completely broke common sense, and even Amulam, who had lived for eons of time, couldn’t help but be embarrassed
. Previously, no matter how strong I tried, I couldn’t hit it, but now I can taste it very well, right?”
Jinhyeok smiled brightly.
The released pupil was back to normal as if it
had never happened . It was in a state of recovery
. It can’t be. What the hell, what the hell!”
“Sorry, I’ve been through something more difficult than this.”
I’ve dealt with an enemy that’s the equivalent of a thought itself.
I’ve experienced it to the very bottom when it comes to mind-type attacks.
Compared to that, this is about this.
“If you injected the maximum amount of mana into your blood and activated the oath of the clan, you never know, but it is your defeat to be drunk and careless in victory.” Pretending not to know and pretending to be weak in order to achieve the condition of the unique ability is a very goal
. I almost fell in.
With this, all the clumsy play was over.
Alice approached from the front and Jinhyeok narrowed the encirclement from the back
. Yes, let’s see. Anyway, as long as Balmung is there, all four things can be wiped out at once.”
“Sorry, but Balmung hasn’t chosen a master yet.”
“What kind of nonsense is that? You can’t see Balmung here?”
Well, how could you possibly know?
Since Siegfried died, no one has held Balmung in their hands.
“That guy. It’s because the spirit orientation doesn’t match with the yin energy.”
In other words,
it is a story that you must have abilities such as ‘Blessing of the Star’ or ‘
Mandala.
‘ ‘Balmung’ has chosen the owner!]
The greatsword in his right hand roared wildly.
[Inherent ability ‘Blood Explosion’ is activated!]
In the left hand, the unique ability of the family of Decassus announced its first start.
“Again I’ll say it once, but the fight is over. You die, and the rest of the heads of households will slap the ground and regret their betrayal of Elise.”
I, not anyone else, will make that happen.
