Episode 701 War of the Stars (3)
“They’re like cockroaches.”
Seo Jeong-hee clicked her tongue after receiving the report.
I did it just in case, but as expected, I rose to the top despite the extremely competitive rate.
Thanks to the rampage of a player who participated under the name of Adele, the rest were able to rise to the level of fishermen.
“Anyway, I’m lucky. I never thought I’d win the main event ticket to the Star Wars just because we were on the same team.”
The same goes for surviving the Swingbat mercenaries.
There was no doubt that he had an amazing item that greatly increased his luck.
Seo Jeong-hee’s gaze turned to the side.
Standing there were rankers stolen from the American Titan Guild and the Korean Dangun Guild.
It’s completely different from Swingbat’s mercenaries. All of them were highly skilled people with experience in conquering the top ruins of the tower.
“How can we handle it?”
Seo Jeong-hee asked as if seeking confirmation.
Then, a sound of laughter rang out among the rankers who were waiting.
“As you said, the only thing you need to be careful of is Adele. At least the team will be destroyed as the main game begins, so it won’t get in the way of dealing with Kang Jin-hyuk and the rest.”
Jang Bo-kyung.
He started out as Dangun, but is currently the main dealer of the American Titan Guild.
“It looks like Director Seo Jeong-hee has a lot of things to do with those guys, so we’ll take care of it cleanly. If we cut them up into small pieces and throw them to the bottom of the deep sea, we won’t even be able to find their bodies.”
Despite her cute and youthful appearance, the words coming out of her mouth were surprisingly cruel.
[Jang Bo-kyung activates her unique ability ‘Duty of the Ocean’!]
Bogr… Bogl.
As moisture gathered in the air, many water droplets were formed.
The power to manipulate water freely.
The power of a wide area dealer that most rankers are reluctant to fight was revealed without filtering.
The rest of the rankers nearby also added a word one by one.
“Just make sure you get paid.”
“I will handle it neatly and without any noise.”
“Ah, before we deal with it, we need to clearly find out their relationship with Dreadlore. If I just kill them, my position will be very awkward. You know that, right?”
“Don’t worry too much. There is no chance that ordinary people will be able to withstand our torture.”
Jang Bo-kyung once again reassured Seo Jeong-hee.
okay.
As long as there are 0.1% of humanity’s rankers whose skills have been proven, there will be no surprises.
But why?
Seo Jeong-hee could hardly shake off the anxiety that was sticking to her mind like a piece of gum.
***
First day of the main event.
The place where those who received invitations were thrown was a huge, artificial labyrinth.
[Survive and reach the next stage.]
[The labyrinth hides various items necessary for survival as well as extremely rare items found in the tower.]
Jinhyeok looked through the list of rewards scattered throughout the labyrinth.
It recorded some of the internal information obtained by Kiyov and Ivankovic.
There are about 392 types.
Among them, you must obtain the three that are marked separately.
‘Arcella’s Golden Reins’.
‘Beeswax of the Itklur Desert’.
‘Red Legion Ant Pheromone’.
‘I never thought this would be here.’
Jinhyuk quenched his appetite.
I was already looking for items that were essential in the war against Eden, but wasn’t there something on the reward list that couldn’t be obtained from the coin exchange?
The most desired and top priority items are hard to find even in the tower, but the three items above are of a type that can be used as substitutes.
‘I also have to create a conflict between the Titans and the Dreadlore side. ‘You won’t be as bored as you think because you have to take care of Cheonyuseong, who may attack at any moment.’
Considering that we had a fight with the gods and ancient beings, this event was just a kind of resting time.
However, it was not something to be taken lightly as various interests and rewards were intertwined.
This means that a delicate approach of its own is needed.
Jinhyuk looked at the endless labyrinth.
…well made.
It is comparable to the interior of the tower.
[Currently, a 7-star space distortion barrier is spread within the facility.]
The size of the facility itself is less than 500m, but the barrier has expanded its size to hundreds of times its actual size.
And the numerous stars displayed within it indicated the difficulty and reward attractiveness of each location.
“Then where are we going to start from? If possible, I want us to tackle the most difficult place!”
Teresa asked Jinhyuk.
Unusually for her, her whole body is constantly shaking.
It seemed like he met Gabriel before this event, but he seemed very confident after that.
Like Cheon Yu-seong, he must have had a pretty rough time.
‘Teresa also has a bit of a cute side.’
Trying to become stronger so as not to cause harm to others.
Like a child who can’t wait to show off his new powers. When I saw their eyes shining so brightly, I couldn’t help but smile.
“It’s not far from here.”
[3 stars – ‘Great Temple of Ramses’]
It is a place modeled after Egyptian mythology.
Two of the items I was looking for were asleep here.
the problem is.
There is a relic of the ‘dark blue’ grade, which can be said to be the most attractive in this labyrinth.
A treasured sword made by mixing half ‘Adamantium’ and half ‘Orichalcon’ and then smelting it using the water of the River of Eden.
There is even a special effect called ‘Michael’s Prayer’ that is indispensable when discussing divinity.
As long as there is an item that is extremely difficult to obtain even at the top of the tower as a reward, everyone’s attention will inevitably be focused.
“Since the lord is with us, it won’t be a problem no matter how entangled the flies are.”
“Crackling. Looking at it earlier, it looks like it can be cleaned from about one of my ribs.”
Wolyoung and T-Bone showed confident fighting spirit.
“joy! “The level is falling.”
“The probability that there is someone among the rankers who can deal with us is 0.000192%. huh.”
There is also our noble queen and the strongest homunculus, so the level of competition is meaningless.
‘Yeonhwa and Taemin will move towards the elder Yoo Cheonyoung, so we can just resolve the issues at hand step by step.’
After deciding on his purpose, Jinhyeok moved to the Great Temple of Ramses.
How long did it take to walk like that?
After passing through quite rough terrain for several hours, we began to see our destination.
Buzz, buzz!
Rankers and players from numerous guilds were already gathered at the entrance.
As expected from being a popular attraction, it boasted the fiercest competition in the beginning.
“Wouldn’t it be difficult to go in from the front?”
“I agree with what Teresa Sozer said. Seeing that there is already a stabbing going on, I don’t think they will just give us a way. Of course, we can press ahead, but there is no need to leave room for them to get caught.”
I agree with what the two said. There is no need to take a risky route.
If it is this size, there will be several side roads other than the front.
Moreover, ‘fortunately
,
the entire event location is made of barriers.’
It’s not like throwing a trowel in front of an excavator.
When it comes to barriers, regular players can’t keep up with this body.
Even if all the world’s greatest geniuses rush in.
Woooo!
[Class-specific characteristics are activated!]
The barrier master’s As the power unfolded, it began to delve into the core of the barrier that embodies the entire Great Temple of Ramses.
Several spider webs and shields were placed with care, but Jinhyeok escaped as if he was laughing at it.
No, where was that? He
passed through the barrier. While doing so, he touched some parts and completely changed the characteristics of the barrier.
I don’t know, but it was certain that the association’s employees, who detected the abnormality a few hours later, would be put on high alert.
“I found it.”
Jinhyeok said on the west side of the Great Hall. He pointed to a nearby place.
At first glance, it was a part of a common ruin with various ancient paintings painted on a wall covered in granite.
But after a while, Jinhyeok arrived there and placed his hand on the surface of the wall, and a strange thing happened. .’First
the snake.’
I pressed down on the snake’s fangs and slowly pulled it toward the tail.
Then the picture moved as if it were alive.
That’s right…!
[‘The Serpent of Ouroboros’ opens a new door.]
Game developers like this kind of thing. .Anyway
, idiots never escape their stereotypes.
‘But it’s worth praising them for twisting it one more time and setting up a trap.’
Even if you happen to find the Ouroboros hole, you can’t just go in. To be exact, it’s structured so that you fall into a deeper trap as soon as you enter.
Jinhyeok, grinning, stretched out his hand toward another picture on the wall.
Several bird shapes.
Among them, when I touched the wings and beak of a bird made of white granite, numerous birds suddenly jumped out from the rock and expanded the size of the Ouroboros hole.
“That’s enough,”
Jinhyeok nodded.
But the moment they entered the Great Temple of Ramses.
“…!?”
“….”
Jinhyuk and Ellis simultaneously felt a strong sense of heterogeneity.
This place was obviously artificially created.
But why…
“It feels the same as when I was inside the tower. Are you a beggar?”
“…Contractor.”
A very faint sense of discomfort that is difficult for others to sense.
But Ellis, who has lived in the tower for eons, and Jinhyeok, a worn-out old man, picked up on the subtle difference.
This is…
… It’s not Hyundai.
***
What kind of prank was they playing?
I don’t know who played the prank and for what reason, but they created a huge mess.
Connecting Hyundai and the Tower of Trials in the same space means that they have influence and wealth beyond imagination. Because it meant that there was.
‘Should we consider it a type of Outbreak?’
No.
Most people are not even aware of it, so it should be seen as a much more high-level and sophisticated method than that.
Whatever it is,
there is no more light entertainment.
I don’t know what floor it is, but you have to act as if you have entered one of the tower’s labyrinths. .
[‘The Flame of the Beginning’ is activated!]
Roaring!
The flame lit up the dark passage.
The dark temple slowly revealed itself.
“Something is strange.”
Teresa was a step too late to realize that the air inside the temple was strange. I realized it.
Wolyoung, Frey, and T-Bone also slowly went inside while maintaining their tension.
Just then.
Kakaakakang!
Kaaaang!
“Kwaaaaaa!”
“Fight! You can’t be pushed!”
“Healer! Don’t rest and put heels on! shit! The tanker line ahead is collapsing!”
“Run the deal cycle without stopping. Only by securing this path can we take a breath!”
Shouts and screams could be heard not far away.
As if a fierce battle was continuing, magic power rushed in mercilessly.
“Shall we go back, master?”
Wolyoung tried to figure out a side road.
Acting alone . Due to the nature of Jinhyuk’s preference for food, he decided that he would not necessarily go to places where there was a commotion.
Normally, he would have done so.
But
now, an unexpected variable has intervened. In order to extract maximum profits and reduce risks, he went a little further than usual. I had to make a different choice.
