Episode 725 50th floor ‘Palace of Azathoth’ (2)
Raphael’s eyes narrowed.
Because the appearance of the man wandering in front of me was something that completely caught me off guard.
Of course, he is a well-known figure.
‘Returnees’.
Although they do not belong to any faction in particular, they are involved in the big and small affairs of the tower.
Among them, the man in front of me was like a bomb with no idea where it would go.
Payne von Adel.
A battle maniac who is crazy about fighting has come.
“Here… how did you get in?”
“I came here, cutting down anyone who got in my way. “They let me in after killing a few people?”
“You killed the holy angels? “Is that true?”
Raphael immediately took out a heavy mace.
[The holy relic ‘The One Who Delivers Judgment’ is liberated!]
Parts…
The divine power completely enveloped the mace.
“As expected, I like angels because they are hot. “I took out my weapon right away.”
Adele also slowly drew her sword.
As if a fierce battle was what they had hoped for.
“There are no signs of battle.”
It was then that Israfil intervened.
I looked at the castle walls with my giant eyes in the sky, but I found no evidence of a fight anywhere.
In other words, Adele secretly sneaked into this place.
“Did you lie on purpose to provoke me?”
“I was just curious how much power you had. “Because it’s not often you get a chance to fight an archangel.”
“I never thought I would risk my life for that trivial curiosity. “This is indeed the limit of the humans who built the Tower of Babel.”
Raphael’s life became even more intense.
If just a moment ago I had the intention of subduing it, I now felt the will to reduce it to an unrecognizable lump of flesh.
“Raphael.”
“Don’t stop me, Israel. “I think I have to step on that guy now to relieve myself.”
“I know you’re angry, but I don’t think that person came here simply to provoke Raphael. Above all, if we fight here, other gods will also notice this person’s intrusion.”
The castle wall I thought was perfect.
If it were known that I had easily overcome it, it would be like spitting in my face.
There was enough reason not to kill Adele right away, at least to find out where the hole was.
Raphael has withdrawn half of the divine power from his mace.
“I’m here to make a suggestion.”
“A proposal?”
“huh.”
Adele nodded and explained the main point of coming here.
“Actually, I hung out with Kang Jin-hyuk’s gang for a while. “In the world he lives in.”
“…!?”
“…!!”
The expressions of the two angels completely changed.
This is because I could not have imagined that Jinhyeok, who can be said to be the most key figure of the enemies, would be mentioned here.
“As expected, I didn’t just come here to talk nonsense. So what do you mean by proposal?”
“Obviously, Kang Jin-hyuk promised a real sword battle with Cheon Yu-seong if you helped him. He boasted that he would fight with swords until the stronger of the two remained.”
“I guess you broke your promise.”
“Let’s just say I’m half right and half wrong.”
The promise was kept.
To a certain extent, that is.
However, around the time when Cheon Yu-seong and Adele’s sword attack reached its peak. Jinhyuk intervened in the fight between the two.
“If I had gone just a little… just a little further, I could have seen the end.”
The moment between life and death.
Each person pours out their strongest sword skills.
There was only one step left before I could feel the thrill of the blade cutting through my flesh and breaking my bones, but I dared to stop at that important moment.
“What I want is to end the game. If you promise me that, I will pretend to be on their side and betray you when it matters most.”
“Hahaha!”
Raphael burst into laughter at Adele’s words.
Could it be more appropriate to say that pumpkins came rolling on vines?
It seems that it has already been decided who will receive God’s protection in this war.
⁕⁕⁕
Kugggggg…!
“Umm, if you take two more steps to the left from here….”
Quaaang!
The land directly opposite Jinhyeok rose up.
Something strange-looking swallowed the floor whole and went back down.
He was a man of incredible speed and strength.
So much so that shields and such can be chewed up like sweets.
“Oh. You’re alive?”
Jinhyuk let out an exclamation as he turned the next page of the book.
It was a very calm reaction, considering that his entire upper body had almost disappeared just moments ago.
On the other hand.
“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
“I feel like my heart will stop.”
Chungha and Andrea, who were following along, literally felt like they were standing on the edge of a cliff every minute and every second.
The corner of Jinhyeok’s mouth twisted strangely as he looked at the two trembling figures.
‘Hmm. It needs to be a bigger shock….’
This is a bit disappointing.
There was a need to provide more heterogeneous and fundamental stimulation.
[Copy Conditions]
In order to copy Andria and Chungha’s abilities, you must inflict despair on them 9 times. A heart rate (BPM) of at least 250 beats per minute. The more tears and snot you remove, the more range you can copy, and if you meet the highest level, you will be able to copy a unique window.
The reason he gave Andrea the expensive ‘cheonggu fox bead’ was not simply because she was pretty. The fact that increasing combat power would help increase the power of Goinmul Corporation was one of the reasons, but not the most important.
‘It’s time to start copying abilities.’
Take the most delicious food when it is most ripe.
That was Go In-man’s way of maximizing efficiency.
In Jinhyuk’s eyes, Andria and Cheongha’s unique voices were seen.
[Unique Seongchang Millennium Fox Phase 2 – ‘Hundred Ghosts’ Night Journey (West)’]
Difficulty of acquisition: SSS
Content: You will be able to handle various ghosts. The quality and number of ghosts you can handle vary depending on your skill level, and when you learn the Ghost Night Journey from various worldviews, the synergy of your abilities increases by 120%.
An ability that the Nine-Tailed Fox, who deals with spirits, acquires when he reaches the end.
It’s a little different from Adele’s Hundred Ghosts Night, but if you copy it later, you can upgrade its abilities even further.
There are still hurdles to overcome in order to master Hundred Ghost Nights, but here it won’t be that difficult to create a stage for awakening.
Next…
Jinhyuk’s gaze moved to Cheongha.
[Spirit Rush]
Difficulty of acquisition: SS
Description: Reduces body weight by 30% and increases movement speed and endurance by 15% each. Additionally, if your skill level exceeds a certain level, you can temporarily recreate the Miao legs.
Spirit sprint, a unique symbol of the Miao people, was also a mouth-watering ability.
“It will be a very enjoyable outing.”
A situation that makes you laugh even if you stay still.
There will also be a thrilling stage on the 50th floor. I’ll give you everything I can from here.
Jinhyuk diligently turned the next page of the bookshelf.
The letters moved in strange colors.
Some things can be interpreted through lost language. Rather than reading the entire sentence perfectly, all you can do is infer the most likely sentence from words.
Still, it was much more helpful than not knowing anything at all.
How long has it been like that?
After going around numerous traps and unknown paths, I finally crossed the entrance to the palace.
My perspective has changed.
As I crossed the endless line of pillars, a new scene unfolded.
“This is…”
“Are you done?”
Chungha and Andrea looked at the space filled with blue waves.
The space with ankle-high water lapping was vast and beautiful.
The Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia come to mind, but if you mistake this bloody place for such a tourist attraction, your life will be at a loss.
“No. It’s still far away.”
Jinhyuk shook his head.
Using the ‘Necronomicon’, I have avoided danger as much as possible and only chosen shortcuts.
But it was still too far to reach Azathoth.
If things continue like this, it’s a bit difficult…
In order for things to go as planned, the ‘bastard’ has to react slowly.
‘Inevitably, a more drastic approach may be needed.’
It was a time when Jinhyeok was thinking about various things.
Kukukukukukuku!
A sound that irritated my eardrums echoed from afar.
“The water is faintly vibrating.”
“The sound is… strange too.”
Andrea and Cheongha also sensed something strange.
As I focused my magic on my eyes, I began to see a blue wall far away.
“A wall… or is it a mountain? There’s something very high.”
“It’s a wave.”
It only looks like a wall because it is over 3km high. More accurately, it would be better to call it a tsunami.
The problem is that it is not simply a wave made of water, but a disaster made of a special liquid that pollutes the mind.
A curse that can destroy even the ‘mental barrier’ with a single blow. And what came after them were large monsters that devoured alive their prey who had lost their senses.
“Uh, where should I run to? Back or forward?”
“Jinhyuk! We have to avoid it quickly. It’s coming a lot faster than it looks!”
Andrea grabbed Jinhyuk’s sleeve.
I didn’t know much until a little while ago, but the speed at which the tsunami was approaching was beyond my imagination. The only way to survive was to either go back to where we came from now or find another refuge.
Chwichwichwit!
Sasasak….
The sound of insects kept coming out of the Necronomicon. The goal is to provide guidance on the safest path in response to a new environment.
‘No, here we go with a different option.’
widely!
Jinhyuk closed the shaking book.
If you want to overcome this wide labyrinth in a short period of time without Azathoth noticing it, you will have to make a big deal.
Now is the time.
A huge wall approaching at high speed.
On the surface of the waves, there were countless faces laughing, screaming, and crying. A disaster full of joy, anger and sorrow is approaching.
“Whew.”
Jinhyuk caught his breath and gathered magical energy into both hands.
Grumble!
Holy power and red flames rushed at the same time.
As the lava and flames merged with the mandala and the star’s protection, a golden flash swirled around.
[Unique ability ‘Infinite Magic’ is activated!]
[Multiple barrier ‘Power Amplification’ is activated!]
Maximization of firepower.
Sparks erupted from the light that gathered at one point.
And the moment when different abilities come together perfectly.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A beam of light exploded toward the waves, drawing a long trajectory.
The water split left and right.
The water droplets that bounced were absorbed once again through the magic circle.
What followed was a shock that shook the heavens and earth.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
A hole with a diameter of 10 m created by a wave.
“it’s okay!”
“I’ll get out of here!”
Jinhyeok, Andrea, and Cheongha flew to the other side of the wave through a hole in the wave.
“Kooh…oh….”
“Kwiiik!”
The large monsters behind them also collapsed, losing different parts of their bodies.
Coo!
thud!
Although they were large species that inhabited Azathoth’s palace, they were not enough to withstand Jinhyeok’s blow.
“Does this make sense?”
“As expected of Jinhyeok…!”
Chungha and Andrea repeatedly let out exclamations.
The 50th floor, the last floor of the tower. Among them, how many of them can run rampant in the presence of the most powerful and greatest being on the entire level?
How many people can maintain this level of composure and make the right decisions even in an unfamiliar and unfamiliar hell?
I can guarantee that the common answer from all the occupants of the tower would be that there is not a single one.
In particular, while Cheongha was on the 50th floor with Jinhyuk, her perspective on Jinhyuk completely changed.
‘Even for King Myo, something like this is impossible.’
Even though he used such powerful abilities, it was hard to guess where his power would end, seeing as he didn’t even break his breath.
The ridiculous thought that it might be a monster stronger than Demon King… or even Son Goku, disturbed Chungha’s mind.
But at that very moment.
“Kuruk. Kururuk….”
The shallow water began to rotate roughly clockwise.
Jinhyuk’s movements suddenly stopped.
‘Are you here?’
Finally, the guy I wanted took the bait.
