Chapter 373. Black Hill Tribe ‘Tarachen’ (1)
“A mark given only to the boss?”
“Yeah. That’s it. Eh…”
Alice, who was talking, suddenly lost her words.
He began to open his mouth as if something was blocking it.
I’ve been through something similar to this.
‘Lake of the Moon.’
It is a symptom that appears when the system forcibly intervened to resolve the sense of incongruity between past players and residents.
‘Are there things we shouldn’t know about each other?’
I’m not sure why.
sure thing. What Elise said was not so absurd.
In fact, there has been a lot of exchange between the two races, Dark Elves and Vampires.
He has a high intellect and his pride counts as dirty. It was also because they had something in common with the dark attribute series.
‘I see… This is pretty fun.’
Jinhyuk’s body trembled.
Intuition instinctively wriggled.
as soon as.
You have to choose the third card.
“I’ll believe it, Alice.”
I stretched my finger to the farthest point.
[You have chosen a reward.]
The letters covering the card were shattered.
Please…
Jinhyeok clenched his fists.
and that moment.
Tring!
The long-awaited reward has appeared.
[You have acquired the unique holy spear ‘Phase 2’!]
[Phase 2]
Difficulty to obtain: Unmeasurable
Description: Among the boss monsters residing in the tower, this ability is possessed by very few. Body modification as well as all stats and skill levels increase by 50% for 3 minutes.
This is…
awesome.
Jinhyuk froze on the spot with his mouth wide open.
Because this ability was not obtained even when climbing the Tower of Trials in the past.
“Ellis.”
“huh?”
“good job.”
“Well… good? Me?”
Alice widened her rabbit eyes.
It was a face that still didn’t quite understand what he was doing.
“Hehe. You’re saying I did better than the idiot saint or the blue-haired idiot, right?”
“Yeah. It’s to the point where I feel that the cost of food for you is not worth it.”
Jinhyuk smiled heartily.
I can’t stop going out with my friends because of this taste.
＊＊＊
‘Black Hill Tribe’ created by orcs.
A ‘Red Giant’ made up of a coalition of Dark Elves.
The ‘Great Wing’ made up of the Cult of the Wraith and the cursed corpses.
These are the three biggest forces on the 20th floor.
And now, Jinhyeok was walking towards the Black Hill Tribe.
Lulu Lala.
step is light
Humming a song is a bonus.
“Damn it. What makes you feel so good?
I wonder if Jin-hyeok was happy. Chun Yoo-seong shot sharply.
Well, the two of us are going to the named orc tribe alone, but of course we have to be anxious.
In particular, from Chun Yoo-seong’s point of view, the 20th floor was an area that was in contact with the limits of the past.
It means that it is a stairway of love and hatred that no matter how hard you try, you cannot cross it.
‘That’s probably why I was so immersed in training like crazy every time I rested.’
Seeing him wield his sword and sharpen his herbivores whenever he had a chance, even for a moment, it’s a bit pity…
…a creeping bastard.
That guy is the kind of guy who will stab a knife right in the back if you let him off guard even a little bit.
In fact, the stronger I got, the more I wanted to try again, so I could feel my hands itching.
‘It’s time to break the nerve once in a while.’
That’s why we decided to go alone this time.
for a thoroughly tailored education.
However, contrary to his inner feelings, he pretended not to know on the outside and pretended not to know.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen nature and enjoyed the sunlight while relaxing. Opportunities like this don’t come very often.”
“You sound like a natural landscape. It’s the afternoon when the orcs are hunting, so it wouldn’t be strange to run into them right now!”
“Well, that would be it.”
“I see… Damn it! You could have come much quicker if you hadn’t wasted your time earlier. What on earth were you wasting so much time on?”
Before departing here, Jinhyeok sent a spirit beast, a ‘gnome’, to contact someone on the lower floor of the tower.
It took quite a bit of time to talk to each other. Eventually, the orcs came into their territory during the time when they were most active.
For that reason, Chun Yoo-seong is building a bloodline around his neck.
“Our Yooseong has a really good voice. He can sing later. The genre is rock.”
“Whoa. When people talk, do it properly…!”
But just then
“…!”
rustle.
Jinhyeok and Chun Yuseong reacted at the same time.
A small sound that travels through the bushes.
Undoubtedly.
there is someone around
“…Did you feel it?”
“Damn it. Anyway, I’ve never seen a good one while hanging out with you. How can you pick the worst and come to me?”
It was difficult to guess the exact number because of the muddy magic mixed in, but it was intuitive that this area was completely surrounded.
sereung.
The two swords were drawn like lightning.
OK.
“Kreurreu…”
“Human. You’re pretty quick to notice.”
“You completely erased the presence, but how did you notice it?”
Orcs with black skin appeared one by one.
Strong muscles and protruding yellow eyes.
Armed with a sharp glaive and shield, the appearance was different from that of ordinary Orcs.
Even in terms of size, it was well three times bigger than a normal orc.
‘These guys are the strongest among the Orcs that exist in the tower.’
They are outnumbered, fearless, and have excellent fighting power.
so that.
I was the first to find this place.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
“Chwiik. Are you laughing? In this situation?”
“You’re a man with a big liver. Do you think we’re being laughed at for taking over the Gray Forest?”
“Everyone be quiet. I’ll take care of it.”
The one who seemed to be the head of the orcs started talking.
at the same time.
A weapon made in the form of a spear by wrapping a stick around a glaive stretched forward.
“Ohhh. Did you know we ate the forest? I thought you were ignorant and only knew how to hit and run. You’re smarter than I thought.”
“Don’t underestimate the information power of the Orcs. The investigation into the forces of the Goinmul Corporation has already been completed.
Swoop.
Shuk.
The Orcs prepared to attack all at once.
but.
Jinhyeok just shrugged his shoulders, still not moving.
“You’ll regret it if you attack us now… I’ve got you guys pretty good talking points.”
“It’s a story you don’t even need to hear. If it’s a proposal from another race, it’s usually our rule to respond by slapping the lion’s head. Especially if it’s the most unbelievable human race.”
“It’s unfortunate. The ‘Hideout of Deadly Sins’ you obtained this time. I was going to tell you how to protect it. You know? There, if you don’t secure a proper supply route, you won’t be able to protect it even for a day.”
at that point.
standing tall
The glaive, which seemed about to stab at any moment, stopped.
“How… do you know we attacked there?”
“Well. How did you know?”
Jinhyuk smiled even deeper.
“Ah! If you don’t answer here, I’ll skin you, I’ll pull out your fingernails. I hope you don’t use such trite lines as that. It’s better to have a constructive conversation for mutual benefit than such useless threats.”
“…what do you want?”
“Take me to the chieftain. I’ll talk to him directly.”
“Hehe…hahahaha! This is completely gone. You want to meet our chief?”
The spearman orc laughed madly.
“Anyways, can’t we have important conversations with the guy downstairs?”
“Keuhehe. I’m sure he’s not an ordinary human being. Yes. The Chief must be having a lot of fun.”
The window goes down a bit.
I didn’t let my guard down, but the hostility had softened.
“Okay. I’ll do it. But, you’ll regret it if you talk about trivial things.”
“Chwiik. Baktur. Taking the author to the chief. Are you serious?”
“Anyway, it’s too dangerous.”
The rest of the orcs around them murmured.
“I take responsibility. If there’s a way to protect the temple as he said, then that wouldn’t be bad. If it’s false, just cut it down.”
There’s nothing to lose either way.
The final decision is left to the Chief.
＊＊＊
The stronghold of the Black Hills is literally built on massive obsidian.
‘It’s always spectacular to see here.’
Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation.
Numerous tents were visible along the hills high enough to reach the sky.
And at the heart of it…
“….”
A muscular orc that was about to explode was seated.
Tarachen.
It is a legendary monster that has drawn numerous myths by leading the Black Hill tribe for 9 years.
In fact, in the past, Chun Yuseong also failed to break through the 20th floor after losing a confrontation with this orc.
“…”
Chun Youseong bit his molars.
‘It’s the first time I’ve seen someone react like this other than me.’
The bitter pain of defeat. The desire to go beyond that this time.
I felt the two emotions blend together.
“Baktur. Are they these?”
“Yes. Chief. As I said through the crow, he said he wanted to speak only with the chief.”
“Hmm…”
Tarachen put the glaive on the floor.
Poo-wook.
A large glaive up to 2m dug deep into the soil.
“Human. Do you know who I am?”
“Roughly… isn’t that the strongest Orc? Here.”
Tarachen’s mouth twitched at the sight of Jinhyeok, who was not intimidated in the slightest.
“I see, as Baktur said, the liver is a human who came out of the boat. Seeing how relaxed he is even with so many subordinates.”
There are more than a dozen members of the SS who are spewing terrifying death.
Needless to say the troops waiting behind him.
however. ”
Thanks for the compliment
. I’ve heard quite a few people say that there’s no coward. So. Are you thinking of having a conversation?”
“no.”
Tarachen shook her head.
“I’ve met countless people who talk softly. You can tell how good a plan is by looking at the level of the person who brought it.”
Tarachen snapped her finger at the warriors right next to her.
“Prove it with your skills rather than words. That’s the first condition for having a conversation with me.”
Orcs always revere strength.
Only the strong could command. because I was able to survive.
“Koooooo!”
“Kuaaa!”
cooong!
bang!
Two Orcs of the Royal Guard charged at the same time.
“Just block the first attack from the front. I’ll finish it in one breath.”
“Sheesh! I see.”
Jinhyeok and Chun Yuseong tried to have a joint battle by dividing positions.
exactly.
“Hey… You rotten son of a bitch!”
He pretended to do so and handed everything over to Cheon Yoo-seong.
“Sorry, only deal with the little ones. Our swordsman, you know? Hyung always believes in you.”
Kakakakakang!
Chun Yoo-seong and the two royal guards collided.
Jinhyeok, who used the gap to dig inside, headed for Tarachen at once.
fault.
If you get along awkwardly, you will be played by the opponent’s pranks.
“Looks like he likes testing quite a bit.”
Jinhyeok held Barnard high.
A soft blue light spread along the blade.
“Huh. What the hell are you going to do with that toothpick-like dagger…”
Although Tarachen seemed unwilling to pull out the glaive.
That thought didn’t last long.
“…hmm!?”
Kwaaang!
The glaive and Barnard, pulled out like lightning, collided head-on.
Brilliant sparks flew and Tarachen’s body was pushed back several meters.
“I also like it quite a bit. Playing with guys who think they’re strong.”
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Jinhyeok began to release his magic in earnest.
