Episode 726 50th floor ‘Palace of Azathoth’ (3)
Appearance with numerous strings connected to the entire body.
“….”
Nyarlathotep’s face, who was dealing with various clones with his eyes closed, trembled slightly.
This was because an abnormality that could not be ignored was detected on the stairs he was on.
But does that make sense?
Are players still busy struggling under the walls of Eden, let alone the walls?
At least that’s a good thing, they’re going crazy with the 30th floor attack and all. This would have been impossible without his alter ego called ‘Chuette’.
no way.
As Nyarlathotep was thinking, something crossed his mind.
What if there is at least one intruder who can enter the 50th floor? There was only one person.
[‘Twisted Roots’ locates the intruders.]
Where are they?
Where are you looking at the seasoning while being soggy!
It would be difficult for humans to survive even on the outermost level of the 50th floor for even a few hours, but I felt like I had to immediately stamp out the insects that came in to relieve my senses.
however.
[The current location of the intruders is the ‘Palace of Azathoth’.]
Nyarlathotep was left speechless by the following message.
Tdu-duk….
Tdu-duk!
All the strings connected to the body were pulled out.
What was important now was not the tower or the modern incarnations.
The body, which instantly turned into a liquid, seeped into the ground and moved along the roots.
And when he regained his original form, he was able to face the disgusting human being who had turned him upside down several times.
***
“oh. “It came sooner than expected?”
Jinhyuk looked at Nyarlathotep in his full form.
It had a bizarre appearance of 2 meters in size.
“I knew you did a lot of crazy things, but this is something that goes far beyond imagination. “Did you know where this place was and crawled in here?”
“I know. “It’s the home of a guy who just sleeps his whole life.”
“…I think I found out quite a lot through the Necronomicon. okay. That’s why I was able to go so deep.”
Nyarlathotep muttered to himself as if he understood something.
I felt my feelings of anger slowly transforming into excitement and curiosity.
This may be because I have realized firsthand how great and powerful the book called Necronomicon is.
Then, the gaze turned to Chungha.
“The Miao people… Do you mean the Miao people who came here, or the entire 47th floor?”
“That…”
Chungha stuttered.
“It’s done. “A creature that cannot understand the subject would not be worthy of living in this tower anyway.”
Moment.
Creepy.
The air has changed.
“Let’s cut off the limbs first and then take the books away.”
Nyarlathotep struck the ground with a staff made from a tree trunk.
Ugh!
The water spread widely in waves.
“Gagging! Keek….”
“Uuuu….”
Chungha and Andrea clutched their chests to breathe.
I just can’t bear the slightest display of magical power. Up until now, I had barely been able to hold onto the strings of the opposite sex, but this was so different, even though it was on a different level.
Right then.
[Lost Language – ‘Song of the Five Goats’ is activated!]
Kkeeeee…!
A discordant sound pierced the eardrums, interfering with Nyarlathotep’s magic.
The terrible weight lifted and the air softened.
“You’re saying it cancels out my abilities?”
Nyarlathotep also looked quite surprised.
This is probably my first experience as a guy, so of course I’m embarrassed.
“I understand that you want to blow your nose without using your hands, but isn’t it too much of a thief to try to finish it using only the power of the wand?”
“Are you that proud that you only stopped it once? This is just a replacement for greetings. “I haven’t even started yet.”
Tooung!
The wand tapped the surface once again.
Grumble!
Seven purple flames rose up.
No, it was trying to bloom.
Nyarlathotep, who was trying to increase his firepower, suddenly stopped chanting.
“Why can’t we attack outright?”
Jinhyuk spat out something full of sarcasm.
There’s no way it can attack.
It was pretty obvious how things would go if someone like Nyarlathotep started fighting in earnest.
“You mean… you called me here knowingly?”
“Does that matter in this situation? The point is, you and I both know very well how dangerous he is. “You wouldn’t be happy to wake up from Azathoth’s sleep, would you?”
“Even if that is true, it doesn’t mean you can roam around here freely.”
“Who says they can move around freely? “I just want to get the job done without fighting.”
“Seeing how you’re using your tongue, it looks like you have a suggestion you’d like to make.”
“hide and seek. If I get caught, I’ll hand over this book. On the other hand, if you escape this palace safely, give up the chase. “In the name of Azathoth.”
To the beings of the 50th floor, the name of Azathoth is absolute.
All promises made in his name were bound to be fulfilled.
“That’s interesting. “You’re playing tag with me here.”
“That’s right, we will be at an overwhelming disadvantage. So, I guess I should at least get a handicap.”
Jinhyuk pointed to the staff held by Nyarlathotep.
“Put it down on the floor. “It looks like you can play around with it a lot.”
If this guy had caught you outside the palace, it would have been impossible to enter in the first place. If I were to unleash my might using the ancient power, I would have to fight a fight that would not be easy with my current power.
‘There are only three opportunities to use the alt’s abilities. ‘You should save that for a more important moment than now.’
Fortunately, once inside the palace, the story changed completely.
Nyarlathotep also wants to prevent Azathoth from waking up.
It could have disappeared simply because it was ‘unpleasant’.
so that.
He would also like to eliminate the intruders without Azathoth waking up.
Jinhyeok, who read it all, created this version.
‘I’ll have no choice but to accept it.’
The main premise is that Azathoth must not wake up from his sleep. A chance to secure the Necronomicon.
Nyarlathotep would never give up on being able to satisfy both at the same time.
“great. “I accept it.”
Nyarlathotep accepted the offer without hesitation.
Do it. They probably calculated that as long as they have the ‘roots’, they will be able to catch them in an instant no matter where they run away.
Due to the nature of being able to freely move around the entire palace, it was no exaggeration to say that tag was a bet with a winner already decided.
Even if there was no staff, the power to use the power of the roots did not disappear.
‘That was a mistake.’
The moment the wand left Nyarlathotep’s hand. Jinhyuk took out the card he had hidden.
[‘Braham’s Ring’ is unlocked!]
[The unique spear ‘Revelation of the Beginning’ – ‘Blood Teleport’ is activated!]
“You mean we can do it like this!?”
Ellis, who had undergone space transfer through a drop of blood shed by Nyarlathotep a little while ago, returned to where Jinhyeok was with her staff.
Because it was such a split second, Nyarlathotep could not react.
“good job.”
Jinhyeok, who received the cane from Ellis, immediately used another unique spear.
[The unique spear ‘Residual Moonlight’ is activated!]
Tsutsutsu…
Jinhyuk’s body was divided into 12 people.
Of course, we also prepared 11 fake Necronomicons.
“What are we going to do now…?”
Nyarlathotep looked at Jinhyeok and clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry.
“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it? “You’re going to start playing tag now, right?”
“If you think you can escape with just my staff and my clone…”
“Hold on tight!”
Jinhyeok, who cut off Nyarlathotep mid-sentence, shouted to Andria and Cheongha.
[Connect to ‘Breath of the Roots’.]
[Magic power is synchronized.]
“That’s ridiculous!”
Nyarlathotep, completely caught off guard, roared.
The power of ‘root’ is a power that only Nyarlathotep can use.
Even the highest level gods, Shubniguras and Yog-Sothoth, could not use this passage. However, Jinhyeok completely destroyed the premise that it was impossible.
Kukukukukukuku!
The 12 clones scattered in completely different directions.
***
Coo!
My perspective has changed.
The lapping waves completely disappeared. A passage covered with vines appeared.
‘It’s a success.’
Jinhyeok, who had moved to different places through the roots, tried to swallow the shouts that were coming out.
Call Nyarlathotep, bait him, and get his staff.
That was the only way to achieve all of my goals here in a short period of time.
‘I’m sure Ellis, Andrea, and Chungha moved safely, right?’
The colleagues were supposed to perform other duties.
As Nyarlathotep, he would inevitably be confused about who to pursue.
‘I have to chase my real self, not just my alter ego. ‘I won’t be able to give up on the Necronomicon either.’
Every minute and every second spent trying to figure out priorities was precious.
Quang!
Jinhyuk left his seat and ran.
“It must be somewhere around here…”
The palace itself was a huge maze, but luckily I remembered a few places.
From here, turn left and then right again.
Tuk.
Jinhyuk turned a corner and skipped through numerous rooms that looked the same.
At first glance, they looked similar, but there were subtle differences that only a dead person could recognize.
‘Shape of the keyhole’.
When illuminated by light, there was a room with a circular hole in the shape of an ammonite.
“…here!”
Jinhyuk, who was watching with eagle eyes, stopped in front of a room.
okay. It’s definitely true.
This is the warehouse where Azathoth’s relics are stored.
‘I’m shaking…’
Jinhyuk tried to calm his frantically beating heart.
Azathoth itself was deceptive, but among them, there were 19 relics of different quality.
If nothing else, we must seal number 3, ‘Floating Black Eyes’ and number 15, ‘Dimension Breaker’, using this opportunity.
If Azathoth used both of them, the chance of winning was 0%.
It would be best if we could seal it until the last 19 times, but it would be difficult at our current level.
So, first of all, weapons that can be used must be sealed.
“Eturacra.”
[The effect of ‘Lost Language’ is activated!]
[Some of the barriers outside the warehouse are lifted!]
Clap!
Doors that had been tightly shut opened to the left and right.
*
Same time.
Kwasik! Crackling….
“Are you saying he’s not even this fucking guy?”
Nyarlathotep, who had disposed of one of the clones created from residual moonlight, looked even more confused.
The pursuit was a little late because a hole appeared in the root, which was thought to be impossible. Half a beat later, I followed what I thought was the most real trace, but I had already hunted only the second clone.
‘I thought they would naturally aim for the bedroom… ‘Are you saying it’s not?’
The top priority is where Azathoth sleeps.
I was sure that if they were going to fool around, that would be the most likely place.
However, Jinhyeok’s alter egos, except for two, were moving to a place far away from the bedroom.
[Nyarlathotep reads ‘Memories of the Roots’.]
The most threatening, Ellis, was also moving at high speed with one of the guys presumed to be Jinhyeok. The destination is the memory vault where ‘primordial memories’ are stored. .
‘Is it really true that I’m moving with Jinjo?’
The memory archive was also a place where secrets that should never be revealed to the outside world were kept.
Although the uneasiness of missing something was still clinging to his brain, Nyarlathotep drew the most reasonable result based on the clues currently available.
[Transportation takes place.]
Nyarlathotep once again melted into the roots.
Hoping to catch the real thing this time.
