Chapter 562. 34th floor, tough reinforcements (3)
Chee-Ik!
Acrid smoke rose.
“…”
Ares blankly looked down at his abdomen.
A clear hole.
Absolute defense was pierced at a distance of less than 1m.
The body that endured the breath with its bare body even before activating the unique holy spear…
just couldn’t withstand a single bullet.
Cool!
Blood gushed out of his mouth.
The body was greatly out of balance and staggered.
[Wounds heal quickly due to the effect of the unique holy spear!]
[Healing power increases by 30% due to ‘Blessing of Olympus’!]
The wound regenerated.
“Kuk!”
I was surprised, but not fatal.
Ares, who came to his senses, concentrated his magical energy on his fingertips.
The immediate pain itself is unfamiliar and unpleasant.
But what’s more nerve-wracking is that…
…I felt fear because of only one human being.
Poududeuk!
that can never be admitted
Not even the gods of other great powers.
No matter how strong it is, against humans.
“I’ll cut you down with a single knife!”
The blade blazed furiously, wriggling to devour its prey.
It was the same sword strike that had mortally wounded T-Bone and the Bone Dragon before.
He looked straight into Jinhyuk’s eyes.
“This is…”
The knife aims at his neck.
Unlike earlier, when it was shot in the form of a fighter, it is much fiercer now that it cuts with power intact in the blade.
However, Jinhyeok did not move from the spot.
“There is no need to avoid it.”
Because there was no need for that.
Kaaaang!
The tip of the pistol twisted the trajectory of the sword.
It drains everything of the opponent with minimal force. It’s literally a perfect timing counter.
and almost simultaneously.
Clap!
The handgun held in the opposite hand touched Ares’ chin.
“Looking at it earlier, you seem to have quite a bit of resilience, but can you recover from a wound on your head?”
[Lv???? ‘Dimension Bullet’ activates.]
Taang!
A bullet containing magic power was fired.
“Aagh!”
A beam of light penetrated his chin and even took away Ares’ right eye.
There is no way you can stop it.
First of all, this is not a bullet that can be blocked.
Jinhyeok looked down at Ares who was struggling in pain.
There wasn’t even a hint of sympathy in it.
colder than ice deeper than the deep sea.
It only contains emotions about how to make the enemy who hurt the precious people suffer.
“Was it with this arm? The arm that cut T-Bone?”
Taang!
“…!!!!????”
Ares’ pupil, the one remaining, grew rapidly.
A second later, a terrible pain gnawed at the nerves throughout my body.
“Whoaaaagh!”
It’s not just pain from piercing the flesh.
In the place where the bullet had passed, I felt a burning pain that was hard to imagine.
Even the sacred power unique to Olympus was damaged. It is clear that it contains a curse that is hard to dare to guess.
“After that, you must have crawled all the way here with this leg. I heard that the gate in Korea was completely destroyed, and the loss of life was considerable.”
Taang! Taang!
one foot on each leg.
I aimed right at the knee.
bang! bang! bang! bang!
Ares swallowed a scream and twisted his whole body.
The words that I would rather kill were welling up in my throat.
“not there yet. This is just the beginning.”
Compared to the pain Alice went through, this was not even a ten thousandth of it.
But just then
cooong!
The weight of the gun increased by several hundred times.
“…”
Jinhyeok let go of the gun.
It’s not even heavy enough to hold with one hand.
Kwaaang!
The gun stuck in the floor pierced the stairs and fell down.
Kwah… Kwah Kwah Kwah!
down further down.
And it wasn’t until I couldn’t even hear the sound anymore that the fall stopped.
“Please put away the dangerous weapon for a while.”
I heard a voice right next to me.
A unique sense of incongruity…
It’s the same as when you meet an eagle owl or a coffin.
This guy is one of the ‘operators’.
“okay. Besides Ares, there was another guy who bullied Elise.”
“I am sorry about that. Well, you have to listen to that young lady.”
The other hand holding the gun was strong.
I wanted to rip off that face right away.
but be patient
Because I haven’t heard the answer I want to hear yet.
“Was it you guys who were kidding me? Why did you try to break the contract with Alice?”
“Whoop whoop. Well, originally, there is no obligation to answer, but there is no point in hiding the fact that we are targeting Ellis anyway.”
25 years shrugged.
And I added an explanation as if it was not a big deal.
“It’s simple. We just wanted to scout Mr. Ellis on our side. Although the recruiting method was a little drastic.”
“What are you going to do with scouting?”
“Don’t you already notice that much even if I don’t tell you? The fact that in order to hunt the most demanding predators, you must first acquire hunting tools optimized for them.”
okay. It must be because of only one thing that Alice is so hung up on.
The reason why the rest of the operators fought with the eagle owl in the first place.
What you want to achieve through it.
‘It’s because everyone wants to get rid of me.’
The biggest stumbling block for them.
The dead person who saw the top of the tower must be removed.
Jinhyeok pointed the muzzle forward like lightning.
Taang!
A dimension-piercing bullet aimed at the operator’s heart.
“Did I really forget the fighting style of player Kang Jin-hyuk?”
25 years old smiled and waved his hand.
[Operator’s unique authority ‘status window adjustment’ is activated!]
At that moment, the power of the bullets rapidly weakened.
As if the ability itself was downgraded.
When I first made the gun heavy, I thought it was about mass or gravity…
but it wasn’t anything like that.
“Were you able to manipulate the status window…?”
The power to lower the level of ability itself.
It is an ability that is different from the general gods.
‘I wonder if an operator is an operator.’
“You are quick to notice. you’re right. Still, the name of the operator is that he doesn’t have this level of ability?”
At the end of 25 years, a long ice spear appeared.
[Abilities are upgraded.]
[Abilities are upgraded.]
[Abilities are upgraded…]
The coldness is getting worse.
The shape of the ice spear also changed more colorfully over time.
“How is it? I don’t think even you will be able to withstand this much.”
25 years shrugged vigorously.
It’s a bonus to put on an expression like you’re sure of victory.
Even so, there was no significant change in Jinhyeok’s expression.
“If you have watched me, you would know better than anyone else.”
Arrogant, yet natural.
and all the same.
“It’s not even close to that.”
Manipulation of the status window and all that was definitely a surprising power.
but.
If only that was enough to ensure victory, it wouldn’t have been so complicated in the first place.
whatever the conditions.
Whatever the situation or variable.
Because it was the deceased Jinhyeok who forced victory.
Taang!
The gun fired again.
“Don’t you have the ability to learn? Same trick…”
Twenty-five years tried to dampen the bullet’s power.
However, Jinhyeok had already disappeared from his seat.
chuck.
Quaang!
“The act of reaching out. If you can’t do that, there are many ways to deal with it.”
To manipulate the status window, you must point your hand at the target.
no matter how strong it is.
If you don’t give yourself a chance to use it, it’s of no use to anyone.
Kaka Kaka Kakang!
Jinhyeok frantically swung his two swords.
“Big!”
Twenty-five years had moved the spear with all its might.
Then, he peeped at the timing to use his authority.
of course. Jinhyeok, who knows what his opponent wants, has blocked the opportunity for 25 years to use his ability.
chump chump chump!
[‘The Coronation of Napoleon’ – A Midsummer Night’s Memoir is activated!]
A memory like a dream.
The ability to recall the most powerful time was unfolded.
Parts!
Blue sparks ran rampant in all directions.
[Hongryeon’s appearance changes.]
[Barnard’s appearance changes.]
The blades of the two daggers split into hundreds.
The sword, which had changed into the form of a plain sword, danced dizzy.
“Aaaagh!”
25 years screamed.
It’s not enough to take all those blades with a single spear.
Also predicting the trajectory.
The use of the operator’s powers also did not go as planned.
‘I have to get out of here for now. At least two or more operators have a chance of winning so that they can use the authority freely.’
Jinhyeok’s ability far exceeded expectations.
I didn’t know it well when I was just watching, but now that I met as an enemy, I felt it.
That the opponent is a monster beyond imagination.
It was a time when I was looking for a way out rather than a direct response.
‘now…!’
The escape route was very faintly visible.
If you are willing to sacrifice at least one arm, you will be able to get out of this position.
Unfortunately, even that gap was designed by Jinhyeok.
[Trait ability ‘7 bullets’ is activated!]
50th floor of the Tower of Trials.
It is the same ability that defeated one of the primeval beings.
A dazzling purple light blazed along the muzzle.
“Wait a minute!”
Twenty-five years shouted more urgently than ever.
Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Another purple pillar was created beside Signiel.
***
same time.
While the clones were fighting outside the tower, Jinhyeok’s body was caught up in a game hosted by ‘N’.
‘I think things will go well over there… The problem is this way.’
A traditional Korean game, ‘The Rose of Sharon has bloomed’.
In the normal version, all you have to do is stop and run well, avoiding the chaser’s eyes.
However, on the 34th floor, a much higher level of difficulty was required.
“The hibiscus flower…”
Papa pat!
“It’s open!”
The speed at which he finishes his speech is less than one second.
Sometimes slow, sometimes fast.
The skill of stealing the timing was close to fraud.
Besides, the more and more headaches I get when I think about the many games that followed.
It was possible to break through somehow as long as you knew the strategy, but it took up too much time.
At least I’ve seen it before.
It was best not to get involved in ‘N”s game in the first place.
“Ji Jin-hyeok!”
“How am I supposed to do this?”
Theresa and Andrea struggled to keep their balance.
Especially for two people who are unfamiliar with this game, they have no choice but to have a hard time.
damn it
It would be nice if there was another way at this time….
Just then when I thought so.
“The rose of Sharon is… Huh?”
Pachachachang!
The barrier governing the octopus game was broken.
The one who appeared through the broken fragments was the Sword Saint holding a sword.
It was ‘heavenly nature’.
“Yoosung!”
Jinhyuk shouted happily.
As expected, the leech is the most reliable at times like this.
“Someone had a hard time dealing with the Guardians, but you are playing a good game.”
…What I just said is a complete cancellation.
Anyway, even if I try to look good, I always hit the candle.
“Hee-ik… my playground… who are you…”
“I don’t know. Get out of here.”
N’s main ability is fantasy materialization.
Since the body’s ability itself was weak, it was not possible to receive the sword of Cheon Yoo-seong, which was loaded with sword steel.
N scrambled to escape.
Awesome!
Then, Chun Yoo-seong swung his sword at N, whose back was clearly visible.
“I’m sorry….”
The divided bodies fell in different directions.
like that.
[The game is forcibly terminated.]
The view along with the blue status window has returned to normal.
