Episode 341. Auction House of the Gods (2)
Kung! thud! thud!
The sound of footsteps gradually grew louder.
There was a roar that seemed to shake the entire auction house.
The one who showed up soon after was a man with a body of up to 5m.
A bursting muscular frame and a half-naked body.
The feeling of intimidation emanating from the shaggy beard oppresses the whole body.
there’s no way you wouldn’t know
How could I not know?
A great hero called the strongest warrior in Greek mythology.
‘At most, I thought I would send my minions to proceed with the proxy auction…’
Apparently, the edition of this auction is more amazing than expected.
That’s enough for a giant like this to come here.
thud!
My footsteps stopped.
“Ha ha! I finally met you. I was dubious when the one-eyed hags told me that they would come here, but it was worth coming to this stupid place.”
Finally, Hercules, standing in front of Jinhyeok, burst into laughter.
“Are you saying you came all the way here to see me?”
“That’s right. I don’t believe in prophecies, but I do believe in what I have seen with my own two eyes.”
Hercules raised his finger and pointed at Jinhyeok.
“Getting a shot at the guy on the 50th floor was pretty cool to watch. To be honest, I never imagined I’d survive that way.”
The introduction is finished.
The main idea came out.
“I already know that the toothless Nordics approached. I don’t know what they suggested, but they are a sunken ship.”
Loki and Thor.
The contact between the two deities and this side seems to have already reached the Greek side.
Well, if you are second in information, there is Hermes to be sad about.
“Are you saying it would be a loss if we were together?”
“That’s what I mean. If you’re going to climb the tower, wouldn’t it be good for you to be with a strong force?”
After Odin, the supreme deity of Norse, lost his crown, the influence of the Norse deities fell to the ground.
In fact, the Greek gods were openly encroaching on Odin’s realm.
It was also an open secret that several large and small battles took place.
‘Certainly, it is a force that has its own charm. If I make a choice, I will reliably fulfill my role as a backup.’
At least when it comes to attacking the late 30th and early 40th floors of the tower, it must boast excellent efficiency.
But why?
Jinhyeok hastily refused to accept the other’s offer.
Because there was a reason I should never have had anything to do with Greece.
‘They’re more insidious than the devils.’
Tosa Gupaeng.
It was the iron rule of the Greek gods to dispose of hounds after hunting.
I had memories of going through hardships in the past because I didn’t know that, so I didn’t want to repeat that mistake this time.
“Hmm. It’s too important to do right now. I’ll take my time and think about it slowly.”
“Sorry, but I have to listen to the answer now. I’m the kind of person who needs what I want right away.”
“Then, unfortunately, I have to refuse.”
Hercules’ eyebrows curled in reverse at Jinhyeok’s expression.
“Are you serious about that?”
“I came here purely to enjoy the auction today. I have no desire to choose a faction to be with.”
Jinhyeok put his hands together politely as if he was really sorry.
It’s normal for you to get out of here on your own.
of course.
In normal cases, that’s just what it means.
“That’s… that’s unfortunate.”
The option of refusal did not exist for Dae-Hero, who did not measure back and forth.
Whoops!
Variables that may become annoying enemies should be trampled on from the cotyledon.
That was Hercules’ criterion for dividing friend and foe.
The fist crossed with great speed.
A blow full of life.
Dangerous.
The moment he thought so,
Jinhyeok also built a body that can react to the opponent.
[Trait ability ‘Tombgrave’s right arm’ is activated!]
A completely changed right arm.
The fist flying towards the face and the arm outstretched to defend it collided head-on.
Wow!
A huge shockwave rang out.
“Hoo?”
Hercules’ pupils visibly moved.
It’s a face that couldn’t even imagine that a human would block his attack.
However, Jin-hyeok was also embarrassed.
‘I’ve gotten really strong.’
To withstand the blow of Hercules even for a moment.
I was astonished even myself.
It was because it was unimaginable to face the Godheads less than two years after the Tower of Trials appeared.
[Gap stats are activated to the maximum!]
Kuku kuk kuku!
The sight of a much smaller hand gripping a huge fist was grotesque.
However, it was only for a moment.
pushed
At least not yet…
A head-to-head match with a high-ranking deity was impossible.
The accumulated fatigue from the battle with Shub Nigurath also played a part.
“…”
Jinhyeok gently bit his molars.
A few seconds at most.
Enduring that is the limit.
“Is your thought that you will not come under us still unchanged?”
“I’ll say it again, but I don’t hang out with unlucky guys. Above all, I have no interest in being under anyone.”
“Is that so? Quite short for a will.”
A thick tendon popped out of Hercules’ arm.
But just then
Hwaaak!
A faint green gas was scattered.
“Aagh!”
A scream of pain erupted from Hercules’ mouth.
His hurried backward step did not match his size at all.
“You damn bastard…! How dare you, spray poison on me!?”
A unique combination of ‘Thousand Poison’ and ‘Black Tears’.
Poison was the only trauma Hercules had.
“Don’t you know that clingy men aren’t attractive?
“I’m going to tear you apart and kill you!”
Hercules let out a roar filled with rage.
Quadruped!
I wondered if the ground made of marble cracked like a tortoise’s shell…
Kwah!
Soon, the body bounced off like a bullet.
No, I was trying to get out.
Someone grabbed Hercules by the wrist before his feet were off the ground.
“How dare you stop me! What kind of guy are you?”
“A person whose name is said to be one of the greatest gods in Greece… Did he lose his sanity after being beaten by a player?”
“you…!?”
Hercules stopped moving.
No matter how wild he is, he was a great hero, but this time he had no choice but to give up.
Because the opponent was also the strongest deity that encompassed a myth.
Jinhyeok, who was preparing to fight, was also staring at the newly appeared opponent.
Another giant appeared.
‘Did the forces holding the crown also attend the auction?’
He once held the crown in the Demon Realm, but has now been taken away.
And that target…
It’s because of the existence in front of my eyes.
The word ‘sacred’ is commonly used, but I wonder if there is anything else that goes well with it.
Agents who carry out and execute God’s will.
One of the powerful deities in itself stood in front of Jinhyeok.
“Hello. Player Kang Jin-hyuk. I’ve been wanting to meet you for a long time, and I can finally see you.”
The beautiful woman smiled.
Long blonde hair tied to one side.
Her body was thin as if it were about to break, but the flow of mana was hard to fathom.
Archangel Gabriel.
He is one of the four great angels and a member of the giant power ‘Eden’ that controls the 44th floor of the Tower of Trials.
Of course, quite a few boss monsters were also beings with the power to put them to sleep with a single blow.
“I came here to see if anyone didn’t know that the main auction was canceled today, and I’m glad I was able to prevent a terrible incident thanks to you.”
“Today there won’t be an auction. What do you mean? Didn’t the nymph Cetilda or something outside say that?”
Hercules asked immediately.
“The small and medium-sized auction attended by the delegates of the deities will proceed as scheduled.”
but.
“The main auction has been pushed back two days because one of the new listings is so precious.”
“Could it be that ‘that’ is coming out?”
“Yes. So, Hercules-nim, don’t lose your strength for nothing and go back and collect enough money. We don’t want an auction that ends too futilely.”
Gabriel smiled brightly.
And he opened his mouth to Jinhyeok.
“Player Jinhyeok Kang will see you again in two days. At that time, you will probably be able to meet many gods and powers and choose a faction under good conditions. Of course, I want you to know that ‘Eden’ is also interested.”
As always, be courteous with a pleasant smile.
Perhaps this is a basic characteristic of angels.
two days later.
It looks like some pretty interesting things are going to happen.
I had a rough idea of what the auction would be like.
“Okay. I’ll have to go back at this point for today.”
Jinhyuk nodded.

[With waves of commemoration continuing around the world…]
[Presidents and guilds of each country are known to have personally conveyed their gratitude to player Kang Jin-hyeok, the biggest contributor to this work.]
[ This is breaking news that the ‘Goinmul Corporation’, with player Kang Jin-hyeok as its master, has been included in the world’s eighth largest guild!]
Articles pouring in heated up the media and the Internet every day.
There had been several horrific Outbreaks before, but never as desperate as this one.
“Ohhh. That’s quite good. But, why isn’t there any talk about Jim?”
Elise asked with her eyes twinkling.
“Hmm. There is, but most of the posts are from strange fan clubs. How. Shall I show you some of these?”
At first glance, it seems that there are many things that harm the dignity of vampires.
Still, wouldn’t that be better than indifference?
“It’s done, it’s done! Jim will enjoy a hobby worthy of Jim’s noble dignity.”
“A hobby? Do you know how to do something other than eating and sleeping?”
“Ahem. Don’t be surprised after seeing it. Humans do it a lot too.”
“Hmm. It’s very suspicious…”
Jinhyeok went into Alice’s room with a suspicious face.
Fake cobwebs and skeletons. A room lit by eerie candles came into view.
Anyway, the taste is amazing.
“I was watching a movie.”
Ellis pointed to the video on the tablet.
Umm, is this…?
It’s a movie you know.
Twilight.
It is a masterpiece of fantasy-style romance featuring vampires and werewolves.
“Hey. Do you see something like this too?”
“Yes. But, the more I watch this movie, the worse I feel.”
“huh?”
no it’s sweet cool or
It’s normal to have that kind of feeling, but why did the feeling of being in a bad mood come out all of a sudden?
The reason soon became clear.
“To dare, werewolves and the like to attack a noble race. When I was the head of the family, I never dared to imagine! What the hell did the head of the house over there do to leave the situation unattended until this happened!”
Alice hit the table with her small fist as if indignant.
You were stupid to expect a normal reaction from this stupid vampire.
“Stop talking about things that don’t even empathize with you and get ready to go out.”
“Are you going out?”
“You’ve got time to rest, but are you going to be stuck at home all day?”
There are two days until the auction house reopens.
Going to the 19th floor will happen after that.
So until then.
I intend to release the accumulated fatigue to my heart’s content.
“Ohhhh! Of course I’ll go… No. Well, if the contractor earnestly begs me to go with them, there’s nothing I can’t do. Noble races don’t easily refuse when asked.”
Ellis jumped out of bed and tried to get up, trying to control her expression.
