Episode 346. The Great Power of the Upper Level (4)
Philosopher’s Stone.
In itself, it is close to an all-rounder, and the things that can be done using it are also limitless.
Literally, to alchemists, it is a holy relic called the crystal of dreams.
and.
Jinhyuk made a replica of it for this round of auction.
‘I really went through a bit of trouble.’
In the first place, the method of making a Philosopher’s Stone is an advanced piece of information that only a small percentage of alchemists know.
There are a lot of ingredients to prepare, needless to say.
‘It would have been impossible without everyone’s voluntary help.’
Jinhyeok briefly recalled the past.
He also bullied Grandpa Orun, the blacksmith… and robbed Alice’s treasure house.
I had a really spectacular time by ordering the spirit beasts to collect materials here and there inside the tower.
‘The effect is… sure.’
The red liquid applied to her wrist shone softly.
As the sweet scent rose, the pupils of the homunculus began to tremble rapidly.
He felt the same energy as his own source.
bonding.
Yes.
This bond is absolutely necessary to win obedience from the first homunculus.
The rest of the gods failed because they tried to win it with their own strength, but Jinhyeok saw exactly what the host wanted.
All that’s left is…
the right mix of bonding and skill.
“Whoa…”
Jinhyuk calmed down.
The mana inside the body circulated smoothly, and the blades of the fangs were covered with blue light.
[Inherent ability ‘Heavenly Spirit’ is activated!]
Moment.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A great energy surged.
The Heavenly Demon in its heyday was one of the absolutes that even the gods could not do without.
Because of this, his unique martial arts alone was not enough to arouse awe.
“I knew that he played an active part in Murim, but did he even learn the Heavenly Demon Art?”
“But that’s all. The unique Holy Spear didn’t work at all, but even the Heavenly Demon Sacred Art doesn’t change the result.”
“That’s true. No matter how much martial arts you learn from the Heavenly Demon, if you think about the period, you won’t be able to achieve a high level.”
Each of the deities spoke one word at a time.
Most of them were negative.
It’s a natural story.
It was undoubtedly true that Jinhyeok was an excellent player, but that was within the bounds of that level.
Compared to the apostles they picked and chose, they couldn’t say they were special.
but.
A few of the deities had thoughts quite contrary to him.
“Huh.”
The corners of Beriel’s mouth went up.
“….”
“….”
Thor and Loki, who have represented Northern Europe, also observed Jinhyeok with careful eyes.
“Hmph. There’s no way that terrifying guy can’t handle just one thing like that.”
Anubis also snorted.
All of them have personally experienced Jinhyeok or have various memories.
At least they believed that something extraordinary would happen.
＊＊＊
The air gradually tightens.
It was Jinhyeok who stopped the start.
Heavenly Demon Reign.
Quaang!
With deep footprints on the ground. Jinhyeok’s body disappeared like the wind.
“…!”
The homunculus immediately swung the spear.
As always, a pair of pikes drew a pinwheel.
Kakakakang!
The fangs that approached from the side bounced off.
Again, it’s not too hard.
‘I can’t afford to give fakes two or three times.’
Jinhyeok raised his Heavenly Demon Art even more.
fault!
I thought I could hear the sound of the ground brushing.
Suddenly, Jinhyeok appeared on the other side.
‘Heukcheon Demon Emperor’.
‘First ceremony.’
‘Heukryunam Sweep Fist (黑掄暗碎拳)’!
Wow!
A blow aimed at the back.
However, the homunculus even let go of that attack.
As if he had deflected Medesus’ unique holy spear. Instead of receiving strong attacks head-on, they adhered to the method of dispersing the force.
“Yeah, I knew it would be like that.”
“I guess I’ll wait for the presenter to stop dragging the time.”
“It’s really tough. I can’t believe there’s a doll that can avoid attacks that well.”
The negative reaction soon solidified into conviction.
The match is over.
however.
Even while everyone was concluding, Jinhyeok had just peeked at something in the previous battle.
‘good.’
Although it was an imitation, the scent flowing through the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ is stimulating the homunculus.
minutely. The opponent was slow to react.
Sensation transmitted from the fingertips.
Just a little bit faster…
if you make it a little bit sharper.
[Trait ability ‘High Speed Sword’ is activated!]
[Trait ability ‘Shadow Slayer’ is activated!]
Quaang!
Kakakakang!
Jinhyeok swung his fangs all over the place.
Going over the shadows and shadows, the speed of the attack became twice as fast due to the high-speed sword.
Now the dagger’s trajectory itself is blurring.
“…eww.”
A short moan flowed from the mouth of the homunculus, which was frenziedly defending against the attack.
now!
The point where the field of view and the field of view intersect.
Jinhyeok lowered the tempo of his attack by one notch.
‘Glacial modeling’ and
‘Ice jade kaleidoscope’
parts!
A thin layer of frost began to rise along the ground.
The cold dulled my senses. The body’s body temperature dropped and began to hallucinate.
The homunculus’ small mouth gaped open.
“ah…!”
A short moan turned into a deep groan.
As if fascinated by the splendid and beautiful sight he had never seen before, he slowly raised his hand.
[‘The Imitation Philosopher’s Stone’ deepens the bond with the target.]
[‘Sympathetic ability’ is activated!] [
The unique ability ‘Mentra Taming’ is activated!]
Status windows that appear one after another.
The abilities he had accumulated so far shone.
“Ah…”
The agitation of the homunculus grew even louder.
Due to the continuous skirmish, his stamina was exhausted. A situation in which the mind has become confused due to various sympathetic abilities.
Being trapped in the ‘Ice Jade Kaleidoscope’, you must be confused.
And in that gap…
…Jinhyeok dug right into it.
Took.
The tips of the fangs touched the homunculus’ neck.
A drop of red liquid from the Philosopher’s Stone ran down his throat.
The eyes of the two met face to face.
Blue eyes that seemed like they could be sucked into Jinhyeok.
“I can’t bake or boil with long words.”
You want to treat me the best? If you join our forces, you can’t say that we will give you a status beyond that of a doll.
“I don’t want to force you to obey by threatening me.”
There is no such thing as loyalty in a mere submission.
Even if the target is an emotionless being.
“But I can promise you one thing. At least if you’re with me, I won’t be using you as a throwaway.”
Jinhyeok quietly retrieved the sword that reached his neck.
There was no negative reaction.
This must mean positively.
In fact, the mana radiating from the homunculus had completely disappeared.
“From today I am your master.”
“master.”
The homunculus chewed the words carefully.
Took.
It was then that his knee touched the ground.
Her blue hair flowed gently down her neck.
With that, the owner of the homunculus was decided.
＊＊＊
Due to Jinhyeok and the homunculus, the inside of the auction house turned upside down.
I thought someone would take the homunculus, but it was because I never imagined that it would be a player.
“Come on. Great deities. The auction is over. The organizers don’t want any more fuss, so why don’t we leave?”
If the presenter hadn’t stopped it at the right time, all the gods might have eaten Jinhyeok alive.
That’s why this event was a major event.
When the organizer said that the auction had ended, everyone licked their lips and withdrew.
It’s such a quiet place.
Where the gods disappeared, only the apostles who followed them remained.
Medesus, who had represented Olympus, approached Jinhyeok.
“…It’s the first time I’ve had a direct conversation. My name is Medesus. I’m a resident who was blessed by Hermes and became his apostle.”
A ranker with a unique holy spear.
Seeing them up close is quite impressive.
Originally, this guy had to reach the second half of the 20th floor to have a chance to meet him once or twice.
“I was very impressed with what happened a little while ago. To be honest, I didn’t expect a person with this level of skill to climb the tower from the middle class.”
From the point of view of the apostles, the current players are children who have tasted the tower.
Compared to them, it means that they are still at a level where they can barely talk if they roll for another 10 years.
“There are quite a few talented people down there, besides me.”
“Yes. From now on, I plan to pay more attention to the lower part. In that sense… can you tell me what floor of the tower you are staying on?”
“The order was a little messed up, but I’m thinking of going to the 19th floor this time.”
“It’s the 19th floor…”
Medesus nodded slightly.
“It must be a long way to see you again. Hurry up and come up. I look forward to fighting together on the top floor of the tower someday.”
“Yes. I don’t know if they will become enemies or allies, but I’m looking forward to it.”
Creating a relationship with Medesus will surely come a day when it will be of great importance.
All the work at the auction house was finished with a brief exchange of greetings.
＊＊＊
It was several hours after that when I returned to reality.
I thought I was going to die trying to separate it from the barrel that Beriel was clinging to like a leech.
“Sit comfortably. For now, this is the place I’m using as my home outside the tower. The cost of staying outside the tower was appropriately brought from Alice’s wallet, so don’t worry.”
“All right.”
The homunculus looked around the hotel room and sat down on the sofa.
‘First, let’s check to what extent.’
Jinhyeok activated the ‘Eye of Gluttony’ and looked at the status window of the homunculus.
Tring!

[Special note: Once a master-servant relationship is established, the owner will not betray you under any circumstances. If certain conditions are met, the ‘Unique Voice’ can be opened.]
Crazy…
What kind of absurd specs are there?
Even though it was just created, the basic level is close to 200.
However, the surprise was not simply because the basic specs were high.
‘The sage’s blessing stat is a whopping 368.’
The highest stat that can be obtained only by clearing special conditions such as Gap or Adaptive.
In addition, he was able to open the unique holy spear, so the bonanza came rolling in.
Jinhyeok managed to swallow the cheers that erupted.
At the same time, I wanted to give something as a gift for such a fortune.
“Don’t you have a name right now? Name. That… the word to call you.”
“Name… you mean? Where I was, they called me a homunculus.”
“Hmm. Right? I can’t keep calling you that, so I’ll give you an appropriate name. Even if you look at it like this, I’m amazing at least in terms of naming sense.”
“I’d be honored if you gave me any name.”
The homunculus nodded quickly with a slightly flushed voice.
Hmm. Let’s see.
What name should I give you to remember for a long time?
