Solo Max-Level Newbie Chapter 695

Episode 695 Ellis’s Resting Place (1)

A pillar that supports the Demon King, a great being in the Demon World.

If the Balrogs, Death Knights, and Liches who fight on the front lines symbolize the mace of the demon world…

…then the Succubi who play the role of disrupting the enemy and destroying the leadership from the rear symbolize memorization.

And the pinnacle of the succubi, ‘Remia Celtrick’, was once called the most beautiful and cruel rose in the demon world.

okay.

“Hehehe. I am the blue poison rose of hell.”

A giggling madman wearing a maid uniform and holding a mop.

Who could look at this and guess that this is one of the devil’s closest associates?

Eat!

“I was wondering where you went. Were you here?”

A laugh came out of Jinhyuk’s mouth. The pair of daggers I had taken out just in case were gone before I knew it.

I thought he was dead because I couldn’t see him so much,

but it seems he was staying here as Ellis’ slave in exchange for his survival.

“Even though I said I lost my job and had no place to go, I begged for it, so I collected it specifically. Following the example of the contractor, my salary was 3 mice and 5 bats per month.”

Ellis put both hands on her hips.

It’s like looking at a small devil.

I guess it’s because I feel proud and scared at the same time.

“That’s right. It’s nice to see you working hard.”

“Nothing much to say. Oh, and Mistress. Everything you told me to prepare… Eup? Eup!”

Ellis hurriedly stopped Remia from adding another word.

“I understand. I understand. Tell me later.”

I don’t know the details of what was going on…

…but it felt like something unusual was going to happen.

“Mosquito….”

Jinhyuk seemed anxious and hugged the sweet potato even tighter.

***

Tower of Trials, 21st floor.

Two people were meeting in a cave located beneath a huge waterfall.

“Prince Chen. It’s been a while.”

“Have you been okay so far?”

It was Chuhon Sa-yeong and Cheon Yu-seong.

“Hehe. I am always peaceful. There was a time when a huge war cloud rushed to the upper level of the tower instead of the middle level.”

Now that the Murim Alliance, the Heavenly Demon Church, and other sects were quiet, the Murim were experiencing a more peaceful time than ever.

Even the empire was seeking its own revival and stability, so there was literally no force to argue with.

Of course, Chuhon Sayoung knew that this peace would only be temporary.

“I don’t think the Emperor came all this far to ask about this teacher. What could it be? Something that would cast a shadow over that beautiful face?”

Cheon Yu-seong opened his mouth heavily in response to Chu Hon Sa-young’s question.

“…I want to become stronger.”

“Prince Cheon’s skills have already surpassed the level and have even broken down walls. It is not at a level that I can teach him.”

“….”

Cheon Yu-seong held his sword tightly.

Chuhon Sa-yeong smiled even more, as if seeing Cheon Yu-seong like that was cute.

“But that doesn’t mean there is no way. If you truly want to become stronger, there is a way to get there. Of course, you have to take the risk.”

“If I can overcome that guy, I can do anything.”

The upcoming war of stars.

Cheon Yu-seong had no intention of standing side by side with Jin-hyeok there.

This is because I did not want to settle in the shadow of a huge tree.

From the very beginning….

From the moment I first set foot in this tower 11 years ago.

Because my only wish was to surpass Jinhyeok.

“If you are that firm…”

Kakakakakak!

Chuhon Sayoung swung his sword towards the rock inside the cave.

On the outside, it was nothing more than an ordinary, huge rock.

But as a particular sword skimmed across the surface of the rock, strange things began to happen.

Wooooow!

[The soul stone of ‘Nineum Sword Demon’ is unlocked!]

Sword Demon (劍魔).

There have been many strong figures in the history of Martial Arts so far, but among them, there is one person whom everyone unanimously agrees to be the best in the world.

The strongest and worst swordsman who killed both the first Heavenly Demon and the Murim Lord.

The absolute leader of the martial arts world known to have cut down even the immortals who were revered as gods is none other than ‘Geumgeomma.’

and.

Beneath this rock rested the few traces that Gueum Geomma left in the martial arts world.

“The Tomb of the Sword…”

Cheon Yu-seong quietly pondered the name.

One of the abilities used by Jinhyuk, his rival.

He had also heard of the creator of the ‘Sword Tomb’ several times.

“It is said that he died. He lived a very long time ago. However, some say that he left the martial arts forest and ascended to higher places.”

A night with particularly thick frost.

The record of meeting the white snow maiden was Gueum Geomma’s last sighting in the martial arts world.

“From now on, I will awaken his remaining thoughts and have him fight the Skywalker.”

Parts….

A black shadow rose from between the piles of dirt.

Creepy!

Cheon Yu-seong’s body stiffened in an instant.

It’s a huge feeling of intimidation.

The Yomaganto from before was a monster of a different kind, but this one was hopeless in a different way.

“If Heavenly Duke can survive the remnants of the Nine Yin Sword Demon, he will be able to reach another level. But finally, think about it one more time. Until now, no one has survived by fighting the nine Yin Sword Demon’s residual thoughts.”

Chu Hon Sa-young asked Cheon Yu-seong with a look of mixed concern and anticipation.

Just one wish.

To reach the unreachable star.

And to go beyond that star.

The readiness to throw away one’s life had already ended a long time ago.

Sreung!

Cheon Yu-seong drew his sword without any hesitation.

“It’s what I hoped for.”

*

Meanwhile.

On another staircase of the tower, Teresa and Gabrielle were meeting.

“That’s surprising. I didn’t know you’d ask to see me alone.”

Gabriel smiled strangely.

Warmth at seeing his apostle. The perspectives on the heterogeneous enemy were mixed.

Teresa also knew better than anyone else why Gabriel was acting like this.

Another personality.

This is because the darkness that contrasts with divine power could engulf him at any time.

so that.

“I want to completely deal with the other personality that is sleeping inside me, and I thought there was no one else who could make that possible except Gabrielle.”

I no longer want to walk the tightrope that is a double-edged sword that poses a danger to my colleagues.

Gaining power by controlling another personality and using that power to protect your precious ones.

That was the only wish Teresa had.

“We lost several apostles. Well, several apostles. It is no exaggeration to say that we were annihilated.”

Eden was occupied by the forces led by the ancient species Edon and Uriel.

Naturally, most of Gabriel and Michael’s existing soldiers were expelled. The few who survived defected to the enemy’s side.

This means that the power difference has become ridiculously wide.

“Normally, I wouldn’t have picked up a card as dangerous as yours, but… I’m lucky. I literally have to lend a hand to the cat.”

Pure white wings spread along Gabriel’s back.

“There’s going to be some really tough adversity ahead of you to get to the level you want to be at.”

“I can bear it.”

Teresa faced Gabriel’s momentum with a stern expression.

The saint’s will to not back down no matter what was conveyed.

Kukukukukuku!

Divine power and divine power collided.

Grumble!

Gabriel took out a burning spear.

There is no need for further conversation.

The journey to grow to the next level has begun.

and.

Similar events continued on other levels of the tower.

-I came to find the soul of the nine tails.

Andrea in the psychiatric ward.

-Gather the warriors on the frigid plains.

A caracal of the Frostblade tribe.

-Eat it all and become stronger. Because then I can run away from this damn company.

Behemoth of Apocalypse.

-sister. arrived. This is the labyrinth ‘Stairs of Return’.

-Big. Good good. If we climb all the way up here, we can get the relic we’ve been looking for, right?

Taemin Lee, Yeonhwa Yeonhwa, etc.

Each member of Goinmul Corporation sought to grow in their own way in preparation for the future war.

***

In Black Castle, Ellis and Remia were sitting on the bed and having a profound conversation.

[The Art of Seduction, Chapter 1. [Adult Love]

“The reason you… no, the great matriarch, always gives in to nothing is because you don’t know the heart of a man.”

It started with the sound of Remia clicking her tongue.

In front of a succubus who literally specializes in seduction, Ellis is no different from an innocent child. In order to seduce the impregnable Jinhyeok, thorough preparation was needed.

So this is what I prepared.

Sigh!

Remia unfolded a piece of paper with detailed plans written in front of Ellis.

[Operation name: Sweet and sour! Grab the target’s heart!]

The so-called swinging bridge effect!

It is a scientific theory that the palpitations caused by fear and shock are mistaken for attraction to the opposite sex.

“Oooh! This is indeed the clever idea of a succubus with an empty brain.”

“Hey…”

Remia rolled her eyes, but Ellis, who was busy taking notes, couldn’t have seen that expression.

That’s how the succubus’ great operation began.

Gun, gun, gun!

Ellis ran at a rabbit pace and grabbed Jinhyuk by the collar.

“Contractor!”

It was a bonus to keep my eyes wide open and make my voice sound as urgent as possible.

“Elise? What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

Seeing Ellis so disheveled, Jinhyeok jumped up from the bed.

“A ghost has appeared in the castle.”

“Ghost… barely?”

Jinhyuk, who had high expectations, snorted.

Occasionally, event monsters full of treasures appear in these ruins.

Also known as Golden Goblin.

This refers to those who are easy to hunt compared to their difficulty.

However, if it was a ghost, a mental monster, there was a high probability of giving the meager reward among them.

“Does it make sense to turn into a real person and then tremble in front of a ghost? A low-level monster that doesn’t even give you proper compensation.”

“It’s not about the reward, it’s about being scared! And, no matter how much a vampire you are, you’re still scared of ghosts!”

“Okay, okay. Anyway, it took a lot of work. Where is that ghost guy?”

Just when Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and was about to leave.

[Remia activates ‘Demon’s Oath’ – a constricting nightmare!]

An ability to weaken the target’s mental power by creating a frightening environment. When Remia’s unique ability was activated, a chilling energy suddenly appeared outside the door.

For a moment, the smoke soon took the shape of a terrible skeleton.

“Is it you?”

Jinhyuk took out a dagger.

It certainly looks quite ugly.

Of course, it was just cute in front of stagnant people.

But not everyone was like Jinhyeok.

“Aaaah!”

Jinhyeok was the one aiming for the swing bridge effect, but Ellis, who actually planned it, lost his temper.

He was truly overcome by Remia’s ability to tighten his heart.

And that…

created an unexpected result.

Ellis, terrified, hugged Jinhyuk without realizing it.

“…uh?”

Jinhyuk and Ellis, who naturally lost their balance, got tangled up.

Slurp!

The posture collapsed and Jinhyuk was positioned on top of Ellis.

Eyes and gazes meet.

As if time had stopped. The moonlight outside the window illuminated the two people quietly.

“Contractor?”

Ellis swallowed dry saliva.

Kongdakkongdak!

My heart was beating uncontrollably.

Before we knew it, the distance between the two had become so close that their breaths could touch.

“Ellis…”

Jinhyuk whispered softly.

“Yes?”

“I have something to say.”

“What is it?”

Ellis held her breath and waited for Jinhyuk’s next words.
