Episode 260. The one who spoke with
the Seven Deadly Sins (1) was Beriel.
I thought I went to see the other apostles because I wanted to be quiet for the past few days.
It seemed that he was watching everything from the side.
“Can be a headache? What do you mean by that?”
[Humans may not be able to smell it, but a stinging stench is coming from my nose. It’s a pretty dangerous smell.]
If it’s a scent that Beriel can smell.
no way…?
“Is there a place where demonic energy flows? In this ruin?”
[It is quite far from here. The witch must be up to something. Judging from the stinky smells, it seems that there is someone besides the witch.] The
Holy Magic Place in the 7th room of the Antichrist’s tomb is a place where you can manifest the demon king and demons, which are only 3 in the tower.
Besides, if they were together…
Jinhyeok’s eyes narrowed.
Of all the possible cases, the ones with the highest probability passed through my head.
You can roughly guess how things are going.
And how to use it…
“Thanks for the advice.”
I never thought the day would come when the devil would help me live and live.
Thanks to you, I got some pretty useful information.
[Whoops. don’t like it too much If a demon with a title really manifests, you won’t be able to handle it at your level.]
“Are you saying that I’m going to die?”
[Exactly. But if you become my apostle, you will be able to avoid dying miserably. Accept the contract even now, lowly human being. It’s not uncommon for me to invite you this often.]
“Ohhh. You must be a demon king with a lot of hair, too? Seeing you talk so confidently?”
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
[Obviously! Who would dare to argue with me in front of me? Speaking of the strongest in the Demon Realm, this body is what I’m talking about. I don’t know what kind of demons witches and the like are related to, but I can never summon a demon of a higher rank than me!]
“Ohhhh!”
Jinhyeok exclaimed.
Then, Beriel also exploded in a frenzy as if satisfied.
The image of the golden-eyed Demon King chattering in the status window caught my eye.
The reason why this guy was born is that he is handsome enough to look like male gods in mythology, but why is he so frivolous…
[Puhahaha! Have you finally realized my greatness? Then you know what an honor it is to be my apostle. ruler. Hurry up and make a soul-to-soul contract…]
“I hate it.”
[What?]
“I’ll be grateful for the information. But, I can’t just tell you this and then talk about the contract. At this level, I think I’ll have to tell you at least 30 more things before I think about whether or not to sign a contract. So I’ll work hard in the future. Try your best.”
Getting a good apostle isn’t usually hard.
Especially in a time when there is a need like these days.
[Wait a minute! What the hell do you think of this body…! No, as a demon, this is not a top coat, you damn bastard! Even the demon king won’t do it like you…]
Beriel urgently tried to grab her, but Jinhyeok had already turned off the whisper mode.
Right then.
“Have you had a conversation with an acquaintance? You seem to be having a lot of fun…”
Maria, who had been listening closely next to her, opened her mouth.
I couldn’t hear what he was saying because of the mute function, but I didn’t lose sight of his smile.
“Ah. I got some scouting offers. I politely declined saying I wasn’t interested.”
“If it’s a Scout proposal…”
Maria’s eyes flashed.
He noticed that it was not a guild that could ask Jinhyeok to join him, but a huge force.
“Aside from Empire and Murim, are there any forces left in the middle class that haven’t made an offer to Mr. Jinhyeok?”
“Um… a little higher than that.”
more up
Maria swallowed dryly.
The story means that even the upper echelons are showing interest in Jinhyeok.
What’s even more surprising is that he rejected it with ease.
“As expected… you’re amazing.”
I couldn’t bear to say that Olympus was not interested.
In the yard that the powers of the upper echelons are also coveting, how could they be blinded by the likes of them?
However, if it remains as it is, Olympus will gradually lose its position and be forgotten in everyone’s memory.
As if anticipating that feeling, Jinhyeok hinted at his luck.
“It’s not a bad option to be with Gandhara or Dangun, but it’s going to be hard for everyone to find my own food bowl. More than anything, can I leave my back to those who don’t know when and where they will betray me and fight in peace?”
“…That’s right. It’s a temporary alliance raid formed through conflict of interest.”
public value or reward, etc.
It’s just a fake contract.
“So, throw away those people and join hands with me.”
“yes?”
“If it’s me, Yeonhwa, Taemin, and Maria, we can fully attack this place. Needless to say, there will be more rewards to share.”
“That, that’s true… why did you choose me?”
You can’t say it’s because of the copy conditions here.
In my heart, Maria also wants to stab her in the back, but among the conditions, there was a clause stating that she shouldn’t do that.
And if you compare the experience points and items you can get here with Hellfire…
…of course there was only one choice.
“There’s no other reason. My gut tells me that Maria can be trusted.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
Making all doubts and worries disappear like snow melting.
It was such a warm smile.
＊＊＊
Within the Union, another Union has arisen.
Of course, Nirasha and Park Jung-jin are a secret union that cannot help but be unaware.
“…So. Are you and Ms. Maria going through the route where the scouting party went missing?”
Nirasha asked back as if she couldn’t understand.
“I think so.”
“Really, Maria?”
“Yes. I’ve been thinking about it, but I’ve decided. I’ll follow Jinhyeok.”
Maria nodded slightly.
“The main route we found has a lot of medium-sized monsters, but that’s all. The road is wide and the visibility is good, so there’s no particular variable.”
Park Jung-jin also frowned and added a word.
Common sense would make no sense.
The main route, which can be pierced by force by taking advantage of many advantages, and the unknown route, which is a shortcut, but has been annihilated by the scouts.
Considering the stability and possibility of success, it was decided which one to choose.
“If you’re feeling uneasy, let’s all go to the place I chose. I can guarantee you that it’s much safer that way.”
“I assure you… Ha. Don’t be ridiculous. The viewers’ eyes forced us to accept you. We don’t trust you. Above all, even without such help, we can easily attack this ruin.”
In a word, it means don’t step out recklessly.
“If that’s the case, we’ll have no choice but to go our separate ways.”
“I’m going to attach some of my people to your side. It’s my decision as the gunsmith, so I hope you don’t take it too skewed. I’m just doing it to help.”
Nirasha snapped her fingers and a stout man stepped forward.
Arun.
As a player belonging to the Gandhara Guild, he was a ranker who received mandala directly from Nirasha.
I’m good at talking, I’m a helper. In fact, it had nothing to do with the meaning of surveillance.
However, Jinhyeok still did not lose his smile.
“Help. I’ll be grateful. I also really needed people to go with me.”
＊＊＊
After a while, the 2nd raiding party, separated from the 1st raiding party, arrived at the road guarded by the second apostle.
It is the very place where the reconnaissance party was completely annihilated.
The straight aisle was so narrow that at most five people could pass through it.
‘Is this the right place?’
[Arun activates his unique ability, ‘Jingung Mandala’!]
Woooooooo!
A golden haze spread along the entire passage.
“I see…”
A satisfied exclamation escaped from Arun’s mouth.
Thanks to the mandala’s power to penetrate the essence of an object, it was possible to figure out the trap that lay in this passage.
passage of silence.
This place is cursed to make the subject fall asleep if the noise exceeds a certain level of decibels due to talking… or movement.
Naturally, the effect was at the same level as the absolute judgment, so it was impossible to cancel it with unique abilities and skills.
‘It’s a curse that makes you fall asleep for at least a week or more once you’ve been cursed.’
Because of this, the scouting party sent by the advance party has no choice but to be annihilated on the way.
There are probably sleeping guys lying around somewhere in front.
‘It’s hard on the body, but I’m good at using my abilities.’
At least the second gateway must be shown passing through in Gandhara.
This ruin could be treated the same as moving on to the next floor if certain conditions were met. It was a place that definitely needed to be cleared.
The fact that it was a place where live broadcasting could be held was also an element that could not be ignored.
“We’ll go through first. Don’t get in the way and stay behind.”
“You mean you figured out how to get through the trap?”
“Yes. If I tell you, it will only take up time, so I’ll do it for you to dismantle the trap after we pass first.”
“Well, okay. Please do so.”
Unexpectedly, Jinhyeok quietly withdrew.
A little suspicious, but Arun didn’t think deeply.
It was because he had figured out the conditions for triggering the trap and the other party had conceded, so there was no reason to argue any further.
‘The trap will never be dismantled, so just stand there and watch for the rest of your life.’
that buck
Arun and the other four players confidently stood at the starting point of the aisle.
It wasn’t too difficult for them to just silence them.
Sabak.
The sound of tiny footsteps brushing the ground.
Breathing in, the senses of the whole body were raised to the extreme.
It’s not fast, but we’re steadily moving forward, so we’ll be able to reach the end soon.
‘Just keep calm.’
The fact that Arun had a goal right in front of him made his face reddened.
Finally, I was able to overcome that deceased person and receive Nirasha-sama’s recognition.
But that was just then.
[Pampa, pampa, pampa, pampa, pampa, pampa! All troops, please assemble at the parade ground by 06:30…!] A
deafening trumpet sounded from the starting point.
“Ah. Wake-up call…! Sorry. I forgot to put it on mute. Haha.”
Jinhyeok seemed embarrassed and quickly turned off the red status window.
The thing I set up not to oversleep is ringing here.
I’m sorry about this
There is no such thing as a nuisance.
I thought that, of course, a loud, military-style weather alert would go off.
“Oh… even if I rip it to death…”
Arun blurted out.
I couldn’t keep my thoughts any longer because I couldn’t overcome the pouring drowsiness.
“Sorry. At least 5 people need to fall asleep to sleep curse to get through here. I will never forget the noble sacrifice that you voluntarily made.”
“Sounds like a sacrifice…”
In my blurry vision,
I could barely see Jinhyeok holding his hands together and apologizing.
To be precise, the white teeth visible through his twisted mouth. A.
Kuung
and that
was the last sight Arun remembered.
