Episode 4 National Museum of Korea (1)
Slowly!
Jinhyuk lightly cut the tip of his finger with a sharp knife.
Soon, drops of blood were welling up.
If it had been a day ago, this wouldn’t have meant anything more than ‘a red liquid flowing through my body’.
But now it’s different.
Because the blood imbued with magical power was a medium that realized various spells and magic.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve done a barrier that distorts space.’
It wasn’t an official barrier that could be used inside the tower, but it wasn’t that easy to activate.
Jinhyeok put his finger on the hanji.
…suck!
dētórquĕo.
The Latin words written in blood glowed softly.
‘good. It’s okay.’
Next was the eastern entrance.
Jinhyeok wrote the start language to create barriers in the four directions of the National Museum of Korea.
Let’s finish up to the last north entrance.
Whoa!
A transparent film covered the entire museum.
[The barrier ‘Immature Dimensional Sever’ is triggered!]
[Visibility is distorted.]
[Noise reduced by 70%.]
If the material had been better, the adjective ‘immature’ could have been removed. This was the limit for the materials purchased at the mart and fatigue with low concentration of magical power.
‘Still, this isn’t bad at all.’
After distorting the field of view, the noise was also reduced.
At least the police will be able to prevent mishaps from coming.
Jinhyuk got up from his seat and loosened his hands and feet.
‘Come to think of it, it reminds me of the past.’
When I first came to the museum, there was an uproar because there was no barrier.
It reminded me of the nightmare of having dozens of police cars, helicopters, and a bounty event for three weeks.
It is an unforgettable memory even if you want to forget it.
‘If possible, I hope other people don’t forget those memories…’
Well.
You just have to see for yourself to see what it actually is.
[I entered the event area.]
As soon as I entered, the thick smell of blood stung my nose.
‘As expected…’
I expected.
The world has changed, so people will change too.
but.
The gap between expectation and reality was more than expected.
I saw the guard lying on the floor.
Seeing the blood shed, I couldn’t possibly survive.
‘There is a guest who came first.’
Not alone.
The wounds on the corpse were caused by at least three types of weapons.
And what are they aiming for?
It must be a holy relic kept in the Middle Ages Customs.
Exactly, that’s what everyone who broke into this place is aiming for.
Daedongyeojido.
It is a map compiled and published by Gosanja Kim Jeong-ho.
Of course, the intruders do not want to see the 8th province of Korea.
The old map imbued with magic contains information about the Tower of Trials, so everyone wants this map.
Think about it.
Where are the labyrinths and ruins?
Who wouldn’t covet if the items and monsters were written in detail?
Although there was only information up to the 10th floor, there was more than enough to light up the eyes.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
okay.
Everyone will covet that.
‘They don’t know that the really important relics are hidden in the mud.’
***
Puck! Fuck!
Wood deok!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“You bastard Holo children!”
“Let go! this is mine mine!”
Screams and shouts mingled.
Out of the broken display case, relics from many years were strewn about.
Right then.
“Stop moving. Don’t move!”
A man in a black suit had a blood clot on his neck.
It was a muscular man in his early thirties with sporty hair.
“Everyone who moves from now on will be killed by me.”
Textbook threats ensued.
It’s obvious, but the seeds didn’t even get eaten.
“You’re fucking.”
“There’s no one who’s afraid of that kind of talk here.”
“If you wiggle even one toe, I’ll break your neck.”
People around me each touched a weapon.
As if for the sake of the holy relic, he could do anything, even murder.
“…me. I am Oh Hyeong-seok, the dragon head.”
Organized gangs have almost disappeared in Korea, but there was no one who didn’t know the name Yongdupa.
however.
“Puhaha! A gangster is a gangster. oh i’m scared Did you?”
“If you’re a gangster, don’t you have a knife in your stomach?”
The sarcastic response did not subside.
“Yeah, it doesn’t work with words either.”
Oh Hyeong-seok clenched his fists.
OK.
The extreme!
Cracks appeared on both arms.
A unique ability that makes the body as hard as a rock.
It was ‘petrification’.
It was only then that the smiles disappeared from their faces.
“Ber already got his own ability?”
“Damn that’s dangerous…”
Everyone flinched back.
It is a unique ability that can bloom only through a special opportunity.
Of course, you can’t even scratch it with a blade.
The atmosphere quickly turned to one side.
“The map is mine.”
Oh Hyung-seok looked around.
As if nailing ownership.
But that was just then.
“haha. It’s hard to agree with that.”
An old man in the back stepped forward.
A thick vein protruded from Oh Hyung-seok’s forehead.
“Hey inspiration. Didn’t you just see it?”
“They call me Min Jeong-woo, not Yeong-gak. Live with affection and friendship. What does this mean?”
“Who is Tong Seong-myeong or Ha-jae? I’m immersed in the atmosphere. Because you can break that skinny necked chicken by the neck like twisting it.”
“This young friend has a very rough mouth. Got a knife in your tongue Tsk tsk.”
Min Jeong-woo clicked his tongue bitterly.
But it was only for a short while.
Because the words that followed were permeated with a dark sense of life instead of bitterness.
“But would it be quicker for you to break my neck? Or would it be quicker for me to turn you into a lump of charcoal?”
Roaring!
A fist-sized fireball blazed over Min Jung-woo’s palm.
A unique ability to deal with the element of fire.
“Magic?”
Yes. That’s magic.
An earthquake occurred in Oh Hyeong-seok’s pupil.
But without a bird to escape.
The ball of fire that left Min Jung-woo’s hand engulfed Oh Hyeong-seok’s body in an instant.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
“Quaaaaaagh!”
Oh Hyeong-seok twisted his whole body.
“Save me! Please save me!”
They say both arms are covered with rocks. The rest is made up of soft flesh and blood.
The petrification didn’t help anything.
“Aww…”
The scream didn’t last long.
Accompanied by acrid smoke, only one lump of blackened charcoal was left behind.
“Yeah. Fire-type magic is really hot, but it’s hot. It was good to hold hands, too.”
The bobbed-haired woman next to Min Jung-woo blew a small whistle.
“Miss Yuri Lee. Then please follow me.”
“don’t worry. If anyone gets in my way, I’ll take care of everything.”
Yuri placed the black stone statue in her hand on the floor.
Cuckoo coo!
The stone statue began to gradually change into a gigantic one.
A figure with a human body and a jackal head.
It was the ‘Incarnation of Anubis’ in the Egyptian special exhibition hall.
“Kreureu…”
Anubis’ incarnation extended a long spear forward.
“From now on, anyone who moves will be considered an enemy. know? I’m going to have you chew it up bit by bit, starting with the head.”
Yuri smiled brightly.
No one even thought to move at the appearance of a monster that was well over 2m tall.
Moreover, there are two Awoken, not one.
Sorcerers and Summoners.
Only with picky guys.
“Damn it.”
“Why are there so many deceased people? Everyone has awakened.”
“I’m going to give up because it’s hard and nabal. take it all take it!”
can’t lift a finger
Because moving meant asking to be killed soon.
however.
that buck
Someone crossed between the stiffened people as if to show off.
Cadeuk. card win.
The sound of stepping on the glass resonated particularly loudly.
“there. A brother who has lost his cowardice. Do I look like I’m joking?”
Yuri’s expression cooled coldly.
“Kreur!”
Power entered the jackal’s legs on the ground.
So that it can run out immediately when the owner commands it.
However, the man lightly ignored Lee Yu-ri’s warning.
“Ugh. You made a complete mess. Don’t these people even have basic courtesy for antiques?”
Jinhyeok picked up a picture that had fallen on the floor.
Then, he brushed off the dust and shards of glass with his hand.
“I’m glad it didn’t tear.”
I wouldn’t have been able to use it if it was badly damaged.
Fortunately, it wasn’t like that.
“If it moves… it kills. Can’t you hear me!”
It was then that Yuri shouted.
at the same time.
Whoops!
The incarnation of Anubis leaned back and threw the spear.
It is a javelin.
A terrifying piercing sound rang through the wind.
A straight trajectory, not a parabola.
That’s why the perceived speed felt several times faster.
But right before the spear pierces the target.
Kwaaang!
Jinhyeok hit the side of the flying spear with his fist.
The spear whirled in the air and stuck to the floor.
“crazy!”
“What did that person just do?”
“You broke the window. no, does that make sense? Aren’t you avoiding it?”
“I threw an iron ball made of steel… isn’t it normal for my fist to be crushed?”
People who were watching widened their eyes.
‘I don’t know how much my stats are right now, so I have no choice but to react like that.’
Even players who ate the mangrove fruit only raised 3 stats.
On the other hand, this side distributed a whopping 12 stats.
“How are you? Has your dog’s only weapon gone?”
Jinhyeok shrugged his shoulders at Lee Yu-ri.
“Who is…? You said there was only one stone statue I had?”
Yuri took out four more stone statues from her purse.
this guy How much did you steal from the Egyptian Pavilion?
I’m using the relics lent to me for temporary display in other countries as if they were my own.
“You are scolded by Pharaoh. and then.”
“Is it time to joke around in this situation?”
I’m not kidding.
Really, if you use an artifact from Egyptian mythology, you will receive something similar to a curse later.
The kind you have to work so hard to solve.
[The holy relic ‘Anubis’ incarnation (replica)’ will arise!]
Kukukukuku!
“Kreureu…”
“Keuaa!”
“Kreung!”
“Kong! kong! kong! Kung!”
Four more ‘incarnations of Anubis’ appeared.
Armed with swords, shields, spears, helberds and maces, thick teeth were exposed.
“how is it? Can you still laugh like this?”
Lee Yu-ri looked at the summoned beasts lined up left and right.
“It’s quite good. To be honest, I was a little surprised.”
Considering that even with a small amount of magic power, it is possible to maintain five of them at the same time, it is certainly not mediocre.
Same with the old man who used magic earlier.
Unexpectedly, there are many deceased figures who have deviated from the chick tee.
“…Are you a little surprised?”
Yuri’s eyebrows twitched.
“huh. Between ‘a little’ and ‘very little’, to be precise?”
“Don’t be pretentious. I know you’re trying to escape.”
“Does it look like that?”
Well, it will only look like that if you say it.
then.
Show it.
bluff or not.
Jinhyeok unfolded the paper.
[Magical power is injected into the holy relic ‘Pine Tree and Tiger (Replica)’]
[The ruler of the mountain appears!]
Age: Joseon
Identity: Unknown
All that is known is that the most feared being of an era was drawn. It’s just that.
“Koooooooooo!”
A tiger appeared from the paper and roared wildly.
The air roared.
cooong!
A body that reaches 3m and wriggling muscles.
There was an indescribable sense of awe in those bright yellow eyes.
“I can’t… I can’t.”
Yuri opened her mouth.
To be able to manifest the origin rather than simply materialize it.
Until now, various uses of the holy relic have been revealed, but I have never heard of it being able to be used in this way.
Besides, this horsepower.
Jeezerit!
It was thick enough to sting the skin.
It is different from a stone statue that has only been enlarged.
In that painting, the power of the spiritual creatures that ruled Mount Tai in the past was reproduced intact.
Although the number is 5 to 1.
‘There’s no chance of winning…’
I didn’t even think I could win.
“A jackal in the desert shouldn’t attack the mountain army.”
Jinhyeok stroked the tiger’s forehead.
