Episode 269. There are two ways for the beings in the upper levels of
the Gangma Ritual Tower to manifest.
The first is when you come down to the bottom of the tower with your own will.
It was evaluated as a double-edged sword because it had to sacrifice a huge amount of coins or relics, but it was the most active way to move.
And the second is that the beings downstairs use a specific place or offerings to call those upstairs.
like right now
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A huge magic circle appeared throughout the ruins.
“Kieeeeee….”
“Kyaaaaaaa!”
The monster stone statues stumbled and fell.
Like entering a huge furnace. The body melted and began to permeate into the magic circle.
“Uh… Hyung Park. Am I dizzy? This feels… something strange.”
“I can’t listen to my body either…”
The Dangun guild’s raid group also dropped their weapons and shields.
“Everyone wake up! You can’t fall asleep. If you fall asleep, everyone will die!”
Park Jeong-jin tried to protect his colleagues by using divine magic, but it was useless in front of the powerful demon.
vision is blurred
The feeling in the limbs disappears and thinking becomes dull.
cooong!
thud!
one two.
Everyone fell unconscious.
However, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min were still not losing their minds.
“Nu, nuna. This is sucking mana.”
“Damn it!
If it’s like this, you’ll get hit.
You must get out before it’s too late.
“I think I can do something like this with my gravity magic.”
Maria also estimated the number of people and the remaining magic power with her eyesight.
thank god.
there are three people
Thanks to this, it was possible to prevent meaningless victims from appearing.
Above all, you won’t have to show ‘it’.
“Don’t worry. Go first. I’ll take care of it from now on.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
“Did I say I’d send them? People who will be my precious nutrients?”
Tristan drew his sword.
Sreung!
Along with the dazzling sword light, demonic energy unique to demons was concentrated on the blade.
but. Just before the release of magic.
Whoops!
Tristan’s body was engulfed in huge flames.
“Kuk!”
The gathered demons scattered as they were.
“Do you have time to pay attention to that? It would be better to focus on the strong magic ritual?”
“You…don’t waste your magical energy. No one can survive here anyway.”
As long as it is inside the ruins, no matter how much it runs away, it is a rat in the poison.
The moment a demon with a title manifests, players and such will be scattered as a handful of dust just by facing them.
And the sacrifice that will play the biggest role in the cause is…
Tristan picked up the severed arm of the witch.
“Let go, let go! Surely, you did not ask to sacrifice the humans here for a ritual! But why…!”
The severed arm wriggled wildly.
“I originally intended to do that, but since you couldn’t handle that human and the rest of the players, the terms of the contract must change.”
The offerings here are not enough to summon strong demons.
At least the life of the witch who rules these ruins is needed to tell the story.
“I’m just about to die as a sacrifice? Me?”
“Isn’t that a fitting death? Becoming an expendable item for great magic would be the witch’s ideal end.”
Tristan placed his arm in the center of the magic circle.
OK.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Purple flames slowly began to gnaw away at the flesh.
“Quaaaaa!”
The screams didn’t last long.
The few remaining pieces of flesh soon turned to ash and completely disappeared.
And right at that moment.
Tring!
[The boss of the ruins, ‘Wailing Witch’, has disappeared!]
[The boss monster’s contribution to defeat has been recognized!]
[Successfully copied the unique ability ‘Black Tears’.]
[Black Tears]
Difficulty to obtain: SSS
Description: Black Tears is a unique ability used by the Weeping Witch, the owner of the ‘Tomb of the Antichrist’ located on the 15th floor. It has both the mental ability to contaminate and degenerate the target it touches, and the physical ability to devour the whole enemy. Black Tears can also ‘evolve’ if certain conditions are met.]
[Level has risen!]
[Level has risen!]
[Level…]
[… has risen!]
[‘ ‘Witch’s Secret Book’ has been obtained.]
[‘Screaming Apple’ has been acquired]
[…] [Obtained]
A number of items appeared along with a message indicating level up.
However, there was no time to check how many levels were raised or what items were dropped.
‘Is it finally coming?’
Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva.
***
Whoops!
Following the indescribable halo of light, a ferocious demonic energy of unfathomable depth rose up.
Jeezerit!
A cold aura that travels through the skin.
You don’t even need to check.
Named demons with titles were coming over here.
“Ohhh!”
Tristan let out a thrilled exclamation.
As if all the pain and hardships had been compensated, even a single tear was flowing from his trembling eyes.
Damn, if someone sees it, they’ll think that even their deceased ancestors are coming back alive.
Looking at the expression that has completely gone away is staggering.
It was then.
A cheerful male voice was heard through the mist.
“Kyaa! It’s been a while since the air down there. Hahaha. Yes. This is it. It’s so fresh. It’s a taste I’ve really missed.”
Black horns and emerald eyes.
An exotic-looking young man with dark hair and fair skin walked out.
Jinhyeok reflexively activated ‘Eye of Gluttony’.
[Name: Hargan / Title: Count / An intermediate level demon.]
[The level of the Eye of Gluttony is too low to check the unique abilities and skill copy conditions.]
Information that can be checked with the Eye of Gluttony is, at most, only the name and title of the bastard.
But that’s enough.
“A lowly servant meets a great being.”
Tristan quickly lowered his head.
“Yes, yes. You have worked very hard. You still have a sore spot, but thanks to you, I think I will be able to recover properly.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“By the way, what is that guy again? Why is he stiffly raising his head at the human subject?”
Hargan’s eyes turned to Jinhyeok.
“The author is the one who tries to hinder us and ruin the plans of the great people. Many colleagues have already lost their lives at the hands of the author.”
“Hmm. Is that guy?”
“Yes. We have to kill him right away. He’s a very dangerous person.”
Tristan glared at Jinhyeok with hostile eyes.
“Yeah. I was very spirited that a reliable demon appeared. Well, if it’s a count-class demon, that’s good enough.”
A monster that makes you shudder just by facing it.
It is clearly an absolute that far exceeds the level of a player.
But do you know what?
“It’s not only possible for you to be able to summon demons.”
It is true that the tomb of the Antichrist is a place where demons can manifest, but it was not decided that there was only one target.
“Actually, there’s a leech that’s interested in me too.”
He’s probably still watching…. As expected,
sparks rose in the air.
[The deity ‘Rotating Heart’ yawns.]
Yaya!
You can’t be bored here.
Jinhyuk hurriedly waved his hand toward the air.
are you watching I know you’re watching, so pretend you know.
However, no matter how much Jin-hyeok pretended to know, he only sent indirect messages full of annoyance and showed no signs of moving.
Anyway, the ass is filthy heavy.
“Hoho. Are you saying that you were a human favored by the demons?”
Hargan chuckled in interest.
“It’s grandiose to say I’m a favored person, but I’m getting a little bit of love calls.”
“I guess they caught a rotten rope somewhere. Well, if they’re demons enough to show interest in humans who are still new chicks, they’re probably nothing special. At most, baron or viscount rank? No matter what, the level of a guy who sponsors such scum doesn’t matter. It must be nothing more than rubbish…”
Hargan suddenly stopped talking.
“…?”
just now. I felt something creepy.
Powerful magic that seemed to tear the entire body apart.
Someone who had been pretending not to know reacted to the word ‘garbage’.
“What, what is this absurd Maggie?”
Hargan stepped back in surprise.
[The deity ‘Rotating Heart’ nods at Hargan.]
[I ask what class of the Pandemonium Military Academy you are from.]
He just showed a weak presence.
But that alone was more than enough to completely change the air.
“You bastard! Who are you to ask such a thing? Show your true identity right now!”
[I command you to answer whatever the godhead ‘rotting heart’ asks.]
Hargan’s body atrophied again.
I never thought Eonryeong would have such strong authority.
…I can’t help but disobey it.
Realizing that things were going strangely, Hargan slowly opened his mouth.
“I, I am 3537. I also got the position of count there.”
Hmm. 3537 Gira.
I don’t know the details of the demon realm, and I don’t know if this is high or low.
Seeing him speak confidently, he seems to be closer to the higher side.
“Beriel. What generation are you from?”
Jinhyeok asked, looking into the air.
[The deity ‘Rotating Heart’ stretches out three fingers.]
That’s it.
This is
completely a popcorn angle.
It changes frequently.
Shall we say that there are no tribes that are so active in inflow and outflow?
Among them, there were many people who did not know Berriel among the demons because of her closed tendency.
Of course.
As long as she revealed at least some of her status, no matter how insensitive the demons were, I can’t help but feel that Beriel’s level is out of specification.
I’ve been planning to make the current situation happen since I knew this place was the Holy Magic.
Fortunately, everything worked out the way I wanted.
‘Hargan didn’t tell Beriel that it was trash. Even if I did, it would have been a bit dangerous.’
It is undeniable that luck was appropriate.
If Beriel, who is a fickle person, had not helped, he would have had to fight Hargan one-on-one.
By the way,
it is time to finish it.

_ It’s embarrassing to be so frustrated already, but you haven’t forgotten, have you? That Hargan, who was fooled by your nonsense, wouldn’t stay still?”
“Stay… not?”
“Of course. I was beaten by a dog, but there’s no way I could stay still, right?”
“This, this is not my fault… it’s not. I couldn’t have predicted it either…”
“Sorry, but that doesn’t matter to him. I just need someone to vent my anger on.”
That’s why I don’t carelessly sign a contract with the demons.
The game could turn upside down at any time depending on my mood. Unless
you’ve prepared about 100 lives… Well,
you’ll never survive long . ” I
can’t…”
Tristan’s face changed like a sheet of paper. ”
What should I do?”
What
should I do
?
An evil smile appeared on him.
