Episode 82. ‘Pendariel’, the mother womb of the dead (4)
Super senses that transcend the senses.
It’s not the kind that can be prevented by seeing and reacting.
‘I was born with the talent to feel the current swordsmanship.’
or.
‘Or become a deceased person who memorizes all the sword paths.’
Only one of them can survive before this queen.
And you already know which of the two suits you better.
Rather than the congenital nature of innate talent, it is the acquired nature that has been perfected while enjoying it.
This is the path that the deceased should pursue.
Kaaang!
A dazzling fire broke out.
Jinhyeok knocked out one sword aimed at the heart.
One mishandling reduced the distance between the two by one step.
“Keugh!”
As the attack failed, Pendariel launched a second attack.
[‘Second Sword’]
This time, the tip of the sword split into countless branches.
Divided points became dizzyingly blurred.
[‘Dispatch(派送)’]
The blade rushed to tear the enemy apart, erasing the remnants of the blade.
before and after.
It was a sword attack like a storm without blind spots.
Kakakakakang!
But this time, the result was the same.
Jinhyeok moved the twin dragon swords as if measuring with a ruler.
Out of all those attacks, not a single one was effective.
The distance between the two narrowed again.
“This time it is my turn.”
A ray of cold rose from Jinhyeok’s fingertips.
[Lv5 ‘Glacial Formation’ ‘Black Ice’ is activated!]
Use ‘Glacial Formation’ to make an ice sheet to lose the opponent’s center.
“Kuh!?”
[Lv1 ‘Sword Demon Emperor’ is activated!]
Kukuku kung!
Using the ‘Gemma Emperor’, he showed surprisingly strange movements even at close range.
“Kuaaa!”
Pendariel roared in anger.
A movement that could not be caught while only adding a lot of medicine.
Trees that withstand typhoons break.
But reeds that adapt to the wind survive.
Jinhyeok did not face the huge wave and accepted it without hesitation.
so that.
Caang!
The last laugh is always
Kakakakang!
‘grow.’
The gap I had been waiting for finally appeared.
Jinhyeok took out a scythe that cuts causation while holding the twin dragon swords on the ground.
“Bill… damn it! It can’t be… No! I. only. To something like a human!”
Pendariel’s mouth was split horizontally.
You can’t be this strong.
How can a human being who can’t live 100 years have so many abilities?
Even with perfect abilities that have no gaps in any of them.
However, no matter how much I denied and tried, it was too late.
The distance between the two was already close enough to feel breathing.
Awesome!
The first sound heard after the battle began.
A drop of blood flowing from the neatly cut edge marked the end of the fight.
[The boss monster ‘Pendariel’ on the 4th floor has been defeated!]
[The 5th floor of the Tower of Trials is open!]
[Time left to conquer the next floor: 89D 23h:59m:59s]
[Level has risen .]
[Your level has risen.]
[Your level has risen.]
[You have succeeded in defending the base. Depending on the number of bases, ‘A-rank random boxes (5 pieces)’ were given.]
[You acquired ‘Advanced Skill Enhancement Scrolls (1 piece)’ as the most kill reward.] [
‘Coin exchange fee 10% as popularity vote reward’ You have acquired the ‘Discount Ticket (1 time)’.]
[You have acquired the ‘Magic Library Admission Ticket (1 time)’ as a reward for defeating the hidden boss monster.]
Numerous status windows are pouring out.
who would have predicted that?
Anubis and the gods of Egypt, who were sure of victory, were at a loss for words.
“Still, it was much stronger than the boss on the 3rd floor. This guy without marriage was just hiding behind his subordinates.”
Jinhyuk said in an emotionless voice.
Of course, there’s no way the queen, whose life has already ended, won’t be able to hear it.
＊＊＊
The fierce battle on the 4th floor is over.
Considering the hopeless situation, it was a reversal close to a miracle.
And now, 24 hours later, a bar in Hongdae.
Here, the rest of the people who had been together with Jinhyuk in the defense of the base prepared a small after-party.
“brother! Here!”
Yoo Yeonhwa waved her hand.
When we fought in the tower, we used bloody martial arts with knuckles dripping with blood, enough to make the viewer tremble
.
It’s a pretty fresh look.
“brother! came?”
Lee Tae-min was also wearing jeans and a black T-shirt.
Wearing a white hat upside down is the point.
“I’m sorry I’m a little late.”
“no. we just came Anyway, oppa has really become a completely different person? At first glance, I thought a celebrity was coming.”
“brother. Can’t we do something like this at the Tower?”
After going to the beauty salon and buying some clothes, the reaction changed 180 degrees.
Come to think of it, even the hairdresser said that waxing was much better.
At the time, I thought it was commercial lip service, but looking at the reaction of the two, it seems that it was not completely empty.
“If you dress up like this, when will you climb the tower?”
Jinhyeok smiled.
And he opened his mouth again.
“Who is Theresa?”
“Teresa said she needed another hour or so. My brother and I told us to eat first, right?”
Unlike Jinhyeok, Teresa returned through the European gate she came from.
It would have been nice if they had come together, but when they said that there was something important to be done in Europe, I had no choice but to join them.
As a ranker, she would have a private plane, so the road to Korea would not be too difficult.
finally.
I saw the figure of a man sitting in one corner of the table.
buzzing around.
“Did you see that guy?”
“Let’s talk a little later.”
“wow! I think we just met eyes.”
The height and proportions are good, so it shows off no matter what you wear.
In addition, since it emits a chic atmosphere that seems to contain all the concerns of the world, everyone’s attention is inevitable.
Anyway, while catching poop.
“I’m here.”
“Know.”
“I thought you wouldn’t come or you would be several hours late, but you kept your promise?”
Jinhyeok laughed.
It was because I remembered the process of bringing that guy to this place.
-Come to the bar at Exit 3 of Hongik University by 7pm tomorrow. We’ll all have a beer together.
-That’s funny. Why should I be involved in such a place?
Chun Yoo-seong frowned
, but -You have to participate in that kind of event to know how to pick what you want from the random box, right?
With just one word from Jinhyeok, I had no choice but to come to Hongdae.
You actually kept your promise.
Anyway, that guy.
I thought you were a total neighborhood gangster, in terms of how you spoke and what you said.
It turns out that I am a medical student. Also from Korea University.
I am genuinely concerned for the safety of the person who will be his first patient in the future.
It was so obvious that he would wield a sword instead of a scalpel if he made a mistake during surgery.
“Please, if I get hurt, call a healer or just kill me.”
“What nonsense is that?”
“I thought it would be easier to just die than to entrust my body to you…”
“Don’t worry. Ball is ball and life is life. I will do my best to save the patient I am in charge of.”
shit. I can’t even joke about this.
Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and drank a glass of beer.
The ice-cold beer seeped into his body, which had been heated up from the frantic fighting and running.
I immediately tore off a piece of chicken coated with spicy seasoning.
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
“Big.”
An exclamation flowed from Jinhyeok’s mouth.
Proper sweating and fatigue are essential to fully enjoy this taste.
But just then
[Give me that too. Don’t be mean and eat only you!]
A pouting voice came from the ring.
It was Alice.
After the battle on the 3rd floor, he was quiet to recover his magic, but somehow he knew when to eat, so he showed his presence like a ghost.
Well, since I’ve been stuck in the corridor for eons of time, I’m sure you’re curious about the food of the outside world.
This may save you money on drinking and increase your side income.
“I really want to eat with you, but this is quite expensive. No matter how much I do, it’s a burden on my wallet.”
[Expensive? How much do you mean?]
Jinhyeok deliberately put on a serious expression.
“I need at least one diamond the size of a thumbnail. Still, it’s a penny compared to the total cost of alcohol, but considering our relationship, I’ll only charge that much.”
As if using goodwill.
as for a colleague.
The key is to properly use Elise’s psychological burden.
[Don’t be like that. I’m not the type to get something for free without shame.]
Elise answered in a solemn voice.
After all, a big and rich hukou is always welcome.
Especially at a drinking party.
＊＊＊
“Whoa. Are you saying this is a drink made by insignificant creatures?”
Elise’s eyes shone brightly.
From a black dress with gorgeous lace to a necklace decorated with rubies and gold.
I came out decorated to the fullest by the fact that I could come out after a long time.
“It’s draft beer.”
“Mmm! Not bad! Although it cannot be compared with the finest blood or wine that has been flavored for a long time, it is still enough to quench one’s thirst. It must be sake made by artisans who have passed it down for generations.”
You sounded like an artisan and fell asleep.
It is beer that is mass-produced at the factory and costs 2,500 won per glass.
In particular, today we are having a 1+1 event to commemorate the capture of the 4th floor.
“Eat this too.”
“This…?”
“It’s called chicken. I put soy sauce and seasoning sauce on it.”
“It’s meat… I don’t really like it, but I’m trying hard to recommend it, so I’ll try it just once.”
Ellis gracefully sliced the chicken fork with a fork.
I wanted to eat while messing around.
Instantly, his eyes changed.
These are the eyes of a beast that has captured its prey.
Jinhyeok sneakily tries to eat a piece of chicken.
Chaeng Kang!
Ellis defended with a fork.
“…”
Never. I felt the will to not pass a single piece.
okay. Even if it was a meat dish, it would have been all boiled or grilled, so of course your eyes would roll. Sprinkling salt on the seasoning must have been a luxury.
“Eat a lot. Because I pay it specially for you.”
“thanks. Don’t forget this.”
Alice squeezed the beer mug with a flushed expression.
Looking at it this way, she is a very innocent girl.
Who would look at this little boy and think he is Jinjo, one of the strongest in the tower?
“everyone! I’m here!”
When Teresa joined after a while, the atmosphere at the drinking party heated up even more.
They ate delicious food and reminisced about what happened in the tower, enjoying the victory.
But it was when everyone was talking in the middle of the day.
Chijijijik!
The volume of the TV in the center of the bar went up.
People’s attention was focused.
It was because there was a special feature related to the Tower of Trials, not entertainment gossip or sports.
[With the success of the 4th floor this time, attention is focused on the 5th floor that will follow.]
[Yes, that’s right. There were many twists and turns, but this time it was a Korean ranker. Thanks to player Kang Jin-hyeok, I was able to safely go to the 5th floor.]
The man and woman continued their conversation.
[Before talking about the 5th floor, can we have a brief summary of the data so that the general public can understand it?] [
Of course. The table below shows the player who played the biggest role in dealing with the boss monsters from the 1st to 4th floors and the country the player belongs to.]
Patrick of the American Titan Guild who cleared the 1st floor.
Maria from the European Olympus Guild and Nangoong Chun from the Chinese Guild who cleared the 2nd floor. And Teresa, an independent player.
Unknown Unknown who cleared the 3rd floor.
Kang Jin-hyeok, a Korean ranker who cleared the 4th floor.
The top ranker of each country and the hope of mankind.
The names of the pioneers who will conquer the tower of the future are listed.
[Wow! Just hearing the name makes my heart grow.]
[Haha. The same goes for me. I think these people will somehow lead mankind to the next floor.] [
Then, please explain the 5th floor this time.]
The female announcer handed over the microphone.
[Okay.]
5th floor.
The main theme of the place where players should spend the next 90 days.
[The fifth floor is…]
revealed.
