Episode 325. Battle for a spouse (3)
Two women appeared along the alley.
A neat beauty with long blonde hair hanging down to her waist, and a pretty young and mischievous girl next to her.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Iris de Reinhardt.”
The blonde beauty introduced herself first.
Reinhardt…
Come to think of it.
He certainly resembles the other Reinhardts he met in the Empire.
There were only very handsome men on the princes side, but the princesses are also incredibly amazing.
Jinhyuk unknowingly swallowed dry saliva.
“Call me Mayu. Dad asked me to come back with my older brother. Don’t worry, let’s go with me. My dad is very strong and has a lot of money!”
A girl with tanned skin and bobbed hair smiled brightly.
Then this girl must be the youngest daughter of the Murim lord.
I expected it after seeing the list of participants, but the best heavyweights in the middle class gathered in one place.
“Master. To just show your back… Both of them are formidable talents.”
“What do you plan to do? If you want, I can do something to earn you some time.”
Wolyeong and Chun Yuseong asked for Jinhyeok’s opinion.
Iris and Mayu both have basic skills to some extent, but since the seal was lifted due to the support of each faction, Cheonyuseong and Wolyeong must be able to hold on to their ankles.
but.
“No, you don’t have to.”
Jinhyuk shook his head leisurely.
No matter how strong Iris and Mayu were, it was useless.
Because the richest guy in this skirmish had already been decided.
Even if it’s not, it’s time to come soon….
The moment I thought so.
Kwaaang!
with a roar.
“What are these guys doing? I barely managed to get rid of that damn foolish saintess. Why are there so many competitors!”
Enraged, Elise pulled out dozens of bloody harpoons.
[Ellis activates her unique ability ‘Blood Lord’!]
“That person…”
“Ohhh! What the heck. A strong-looking rival appears!”
Iris and Mayu also drew their respective weapons.
Soon after, a desperate struggle to obtain the eternal rose unfolded.
＊＊＊
A gap created by Alice’s intrusion.
Jinhyeok leisurely left the alley.
We couldn’t afford to care about anything else because we were so busy fighting each other.
For the girls with the location tracking item, Jinhyeok could catch it again at any time, but there was a risk of being eliminated if the same competitor was not careful.
And while everyone is certain that the premise will never be shaken.
Finally, all the plans that Jinhyeok had been preparing were finished.
“…huh?”
“uh?”
A group of women from the Empire felt a strange sense of incongruity while walking in huddle.
It seemed that the hard ground suddenly became soft.
Suwook!
In an instant, he swallowed his ankle and sucked it down.
The traps created by the spirit beasts began to activate in earnest.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“What, what?”
Five people were killed in the mud made by the gnomes.
Thanks to being sucked into the mud, the dress and clothes were messed up.
On the other hand, the Salamander was diligently spewing flames.
Roaring!
The blazing heat melts the elaborate makeup. Her hair, which had been slicked back, was burnt.
“Aaaaaaa!”
“Uh, what to do!”
“My… head! I did this for 3 hours. It’s ruined. It’s all ruined!”
Hell unfolds everywhere.
However, the long-awaited disaster has not yet begun.
Rumble!
Kwak!
Thunder rang out in the distance.
Even though the whole of Moorim maintains sunny weather, dark clouds began to gather only in Lukyang.
[Due to the effect of Yeouiju, ‘Thunderstorm’ is being activated.]
“I am a noble dragon… supreme. Sacred… should I say divine beast? Whoops. Among the gods of all four directions, I am often said to be the most honorable. I’m listening. That’s what this body is.”
The blue dragon, or the soft hooded crane, spoke to itself mixed with self-deprecation.
“mosquito!”
“Oh, I see. It’s raining hard, isn’t it? I’m good at what I ask.”
“Mosquito mosquitoes.”
Under the watchful eye of Sweet Potato, the soft hooded crane poured down heavy rain.
-Raffle: Wow. The contestants became like a drowning mouse?
-Good friend: ㅇ. there is no devil The third daughter of the marquis I bet on seems to have no hope at all. The dress turned black.
-jus: Me too. I lost all the coins I bet on. Ha, it’s been 3 months
. Even though the dividend is low, it is hearty like hot soup.
-jxh: Yes. To be honest, a single shot of a bamboo spear made of Elise’s blood would make everyone quiet.
Reactions from viewers were bewildered.
It was because I never imagined that the dropouts would appear one after another so quickly.
Even among the VIPs who were watching at the banquet hall, the reaction continued to be astounding.
“Uh…”
“Uh, my daughter…”
The nobles of the Empire stared blankly at the screen.
“I was raised like a golden jade leaf… but is this how you’re going to drop out?”
“Heh heh. My child has never even met Kang Gongja.”
The heads and elders of the Moorim faction also tasted bitter.
“Puhahaha! This is spectacle. To be honest, I thought it would be embarrassing, but after all, things are things. Only then will everything be eliminated.”
The Murim lord, Matae-bong, exploded into a blaze.
His own daughter was also involved, but Matthew seemed to be enjoying the flow even more.
Finally, the Heavenly Demon, who was watching Jinhyeok’s performance from the farthest distance, quietly opened his mouth.
“Dark Emperor.”
“Yes. Supreme.”
“That guy… be nice to him. Even if he whines a little or acts out of his own way, don’t mess with him.”
“That’s how it should be. Ahmyo. To be honest, if I make it into an enemy, I think it would be more troublesome than Samaja or Simma Commander.”
“He’s more terrifying than the blood demon I fought 10 years ago. I feel like he instinctively knows what to do to make people suffer the most.”
“…I can see it that way.”
The two looked at the screen without speaking.
＊＊＊
How long has it been since the skirmish started?
Those who struggled to obtain the Eternal Rose disappeared one by one.
And finally.
Of the 279, only eight remain.
On the Empire side, Princess Iris and the second daughter of Count Melmorn survived.
On the Murim side, the names of Mayu, the youngest daughter of the Murim lord, Baek Seol-rin of Hwasan, and So Cheong-ah, So So-myung’s younger sister, are displayed in blue.
Finally, on the side composed of the players and the residents of the other floors, of course, Alice, Teresa, and Andrea remained.
“It’s really nasty. Even if you do this, you won’t give up. How much longer do you have to be harassed to give up? Hmm. This time, I have to fake stinky tofu with mapo tofu and try feeding it.”
Jinhyeok was in serious trouble.
Most of the time, I raised the white flag while crying because I was caught in nasty traps.
Those who were left now were burning their will to continue even if the sky split in two.
“At this point, can’t we just pretend we can’t win and hand over the roses? Everyone must have gathered because they were interested in you anyway. I think we need to choose at least one person.”
Chun Yoo-seong, who had been watching quietly, helped out with a word.
Of course, Jinhyeok didn’t even pass those words over his ears.
“It’s not for me. It’s for the benefit of this rose’s ability and the faction you belong to. Besides, this is a kind of event quest. You have to take it seriously. What if you take it seriously?”
“…It’s okay. I shouldn’t talk. It’s not that I don’t notice, it’s that my emotions are completely dry.”
“Hmm. I don’t know about anyone else, but hearing that from you makes me feel really bad.”
Jinhyeok and Chun Yuseong had a quarrel.
“My lord. It’s fortunate that there are only eight people left. There’s only about a minute left, so isn’t it actually the end of the lord’s victory?”
“That’s right. They probably won’t be able to come this far because they’re trying to keep each other in check.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
however.
There was one fact that everyone was overlooking.
Among the items exhibited in this event, there is a holy relic that can turn the situation around in just one minute.
[A holy relic with the effect of ‘Absolute Judgment’ was used for this area!]
Suddenly, the view changes rapidly.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Powerful magic power swirled around the area where the three were.
“This…!?”
“Lord!”
Chun Yoo-sung and Wol-yeong immediately tried to leave.
However, the red pillars that engulfed the area did not allow the people inside to go outside.
“Huh-huh! Did you think you won?”
“Hehe! There’s still a minute left!”
It was then that I heard the sound of sinister laughter.
Theresa, with her long blonde hair hanging down, and Andrea, with her water-inspired painting reaching its peak, were visible.
furthermore.
that buck
left and right. And I saw familiar faces from behind.
“Didn’t you look at Jim too lightly for having two escorts?”
“The Empire doesn’t back down easily.”
“Give up now.”
Eight people joined forces after realizing that no one could win if they continued like this.
First of all, Jin-hyeok was tightly surrounded so that he could not escape.
After that, let’s leave it up to each person to decide who gets the Eternal Rose.
The plan worked just fine.
By activating the strongest ability through the collected coins.
[Eight contestants request the absolute judgment ‘region of bondage’.]
Unusual magic shook.
“Never… Judgment. Shit. Isn’t that dangerous?”
Chun Yuseong flinched instinctively.
“It’s okay. Absolute judgment items that can be used in this event have extremely difficult activation conditions. Those guys just threw coins and holy relics.”
“Really?”
“Have you been deceived? Are you saying that condition is at a level that they can never solve?”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
And as if to prove it.
Tring!
A blue status window appeared.
[In order to activate the event-type conditions, a high degree of understanding of the target is required.]
[Describe the target ‘Kang Jin-hyeok”s favorite food in the Tower of Trials, how to cook it, and how many times he ate it in the last 3 months.] [
Details The more you explain, the more effective the ability is.]
“Look. How do you get this right? No matter how crazy you are…”
But Jinhyeok couldn’t finish his words.
“Nana na nana!”
It was because Alice was frantically waving her hands like a child who knew the answer.
huh?
no way…?
“I like to roast the rainbow shrimp caught using the Tengkong River caterpillar slowly over low heat for 1 hour 15 minutes and 13 seconds, then sprinkle with 13.5g of Asumtra salt from the 5th floor 7 times. I ate 26 times for 3 months. The last time I ate was exactly 62 hours, 15 minutes and 33 seconds ago.”
The words poured out like rapid fire.
Elise puffed out her chest proudly.
“Surely, didn’t you say you’d never be able to guess?
” isn’t it? I’m not a stalker, I know that.”
The word “Unjust” welled up in my throat.
However, the important thing now is not how I memorized it all.
It’s that Elise’s words are true.
[Restriction area (highest level) activated!]
Kwabu

They bit each other and stretched out their hands in different directions.
And among them, the
winner
…
[Event ended.]
[
Time limit: 0h:0m:0s]
“Enough! I won! I won!”
Alice burst into cheers.
At the same time.
[There is no winner on the challenger’s side.]
[The winner is the tag player ‘Kang Jin-hyeok’!]
“…Huh?”
The smile disappeared from Alice’s face.
