Alone Full Level Newbie-Episode 131
131fury. 7th floor, tundra, a land of extreme cold (2)
Red mark carved into the rock.
It was the mark left by the snowy tribe ‘Ice Trolls’..
‘Of course, it was these guys..’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed..
Originally, the ice trolls were supposed to be located at ‘Baeksan (白山)’ on the west side of the 7th floor, not here..
However, those guys have expanded their territory. Right here.
‘It's not just because the population is increasing..’
Jinhyuk's eyes turned to Mark once again..
I saw a picture of the Ice Troll's unique mask painted on it..
okay. Up to this point, it’s not that big of a deal. Because it was a common type seen among the numerous troll tribes in the tower..
The problem is the shape of the sign.
There are three red lines at the top of the mask..
In other words.
‘It is an emblem that is only used when the tribe has the greatest warrior..’
This is the so-called birth of a named class..
If the entire Dangun guild was defeated, a fairly powerful warrior must have appeared. Maybe he's much stronger than you imagine.
It was then.
flinch.
Jinhyuk’s senses caught something..
It'll still take some time to get here, but it won't be long before we see it..
Not trolls. When looking at the amount of magical power, the approaching direction, and the number. There was a high probability that they were players who had been guarding the entrance a while ago..
And as if to prove the prediction.
A moment later, five men and women approached through the snow..
“Ugh. I can't feel my arms or legs... … uh!”
“car, found!”
“river… … Player Jinhyuk!”
“Phew. I really thought I was going to die. Fortunately, the. Because we met so quickly.”
Seeing his face turn pale and shaking, I thought he must have had a hard time getting here..
Well, in this temperature, your physical strength will drop rapidly just by standing there..
I had a rough guess as to why these people came here.…….
Jinhyuk pretended not to notice and joked..
“You said you shouldn't go into the forest, but how can you go this deep??”
“haha. that is… … We didn't want to come either, but we can't send Jinhyeok Kang here alone. I know.”
“I think I need at least directions..”
I don't know who is going to guide whom..
‘Even after drinking 3 bottles of soju, I think I found my way better..’
Still, it came at a good time..
The fact that these people came meant that Dangun Guild's main attack force would also head into the forest..
“Well, I have something to talk about, but before that, I think we all need to warm up a bit..”
Seeing him blinking out of consciousness due to hypothermia, it looks like his condition is worse than I thought..
If this continues, I might have to film Frozen with the ice dolls.?
Jinhyuk activated ‘Element of Fire’.
Grumbling!
As a fireball the size of a soccer ball burst into flames, the snow began to melt in an instant..
Between the snowdrifts, a space was created for several people to rest..
good.
This time it’s ‘glacier sculpture’.
Jinhyuk moved his hand lightly..
partz…….
A thin film of ice completely enveloped the players..
Appearance modeled after an igloo.
Although it may not be a cozy shelter, it will be at least a temporary shelter that can block strong winds..
“Oh my god…….”
“I never thought the magic linkage would be this smooth..”
“thank you. As expected, I feel reassured because there is an S-rank player..”
“……It got really warm.”
Exclamations flowed from everyone's mouths..
It has to be because the temperature has risen by more than 10 degrees..
Now the color has come back little by little..
“thank you Thanks to player Jinhyuk Kang, I took a breather. My name is Kwak Dae-ho..”
He briefly introduced himself as Kwak Dae-ho..
30In my early teens, my sad impression was quite impressive..
[Kwak Dae-ho, 33 years old.]
[Unique Abilities: …….]
[skill: …….]
Stat window that doesn't need to be listed.
At about B level, there was nothing I liked among the unique abilities or skills..
It's all backwards compatibility with the skills I already have.?
Other people were also at a mediocre level..
‘These friends have no nutritional value..’
Jinhyuk got to the point with his ‘gluttonous eyes’ closed..
“It's okay to say thank you. Rather, please tell me how far away Dangun Guild is now..”
“yes? Well, what does that mean?…….”
Kwak Dae-ho made a surprised expression and then lost his voice..
Anyway, I don't know why all of these people have zero acting skills..
Even a sly old man like Rick hides his true feelings well..
“I have a general idea of how things are going now. Didn't you send me here to stop me from getting the Phoenix Feather first? Engineering Director Jang Eun-seok must have forced him to come because he didn't want to come. Those of you at the bottom probably had no choice..”
“…….”
When the point was struck, Kwak Dae-ho kept his mouth shut..
“I'm not trying to tell you anything. Actually, it's more of a hassle than just getting the feathers..”
“It's a pain in the ass.?”
“yes. Do you see the tree over there??”
Jinhyuk pointed to the tree from before with his finger..
Everyone's eyes followed the finger..
“There's a strange pattern drawn on it..”
“It looks like an African tribal mask.…….”
“This is the mark used by ice trolls. If you look at the blade shape added to the top of the mask, it must have been left by trolls from the 'Frost Blade' tribe..”
“Oh, if it's an ice troll…….”
“I've heard of it. A medium-sized monster known to be the most ferocious on the 7th floor..”
They mainly live in groups and have high intelligence, making them very difficult to deal with..
There was no need to say that each individual's combat power was outstanding..
Daeho Kwak and the rest of the players didn't know about the types or markings of the tribes, but they had heard about how difficult the trolls were..
“Are you saying this is their territory??”
“yes. It looks like the area has expanded a bit. It's probably because they won a big fight against other races around them..”
One female player who had been silent as Jinhyuk spoke intervened..
“Well, in that case, shouldn’t we go back quickly? If you control access like we did so far and don't invade their territory, there won't be a problem..”
It's a reasonable offer..
The reason the Dangun guild kept dying was because they carelessly stepped into this forest..
In other words, it means that if you don't approach their land, your life will not be in danger..
but.
“no. The problem is a bit more complicated than that.”
Jinhyuk shook his head..
Those intelligent enough to form a tribe will not remain quiet if you simply leave them alone..
In fact, even in the past at the Tower of Trials, when this level of power was obtained, monsters chose one of two options..
Expand the area massively to go beyond other floors of the tower.
or.
Turn your gaze and aim for the outside of the tower.
One of two events is bound to happen..
‘Phoenix feathers are also one of the materials to open the gate. In other words, what they're targeting is not the 8th floor, but the outside of the tower..’
A phenomenon called an outbreak.
In fact, Amsterdam in the Netherlands also suffered from this phenomenon, almost turning the entire city into a sea of fire..
Even though the much weaker gnolls and goblins emerged at that time, the damage was so great that it was difficult to quantify it..
What's more, isn't this a much higher species of ice troll??
‘The number of deaths may be difficult to estimate..’
USA, Europe, China, India, Africa, Korea, Japan.
It is unclear which side the outbreak will occur on..
There isn't much time left either..
The more Jinhyuk explained the current situation, the more the five people's faces turned dark..
It was recognized that the situation was unusual..
Since it was a statement made by an S-class person and not anyone else, I couldn't help but believe it..
But that was right then..
flinch!
Jinhyuk’s senses caught something again..
Completely different horsepower than before.
I felt footsteps lightly grazing the snow and steady breathing..
As the rustling sound gradually grew louder, the players inside the igloo also noticed something approaching..
“Something from our side…….”
“Shh!”
Jinhyuk quickly stopped him..
Before I knew it, I was holding a dagger with a green glow in my hand..
It was the ‘Fang of Pentagris’ brought from the elf village..
“……Are you an enemy??”
Kwak Dae-ho swallowed dry saliva..
“Maybe.”
Answer with positive meaning.
At those words, the air in the room suddenly changed..
It felt like a fight was imminent, and my heart began to pump blood throughout my body at a rapid pace..
And at that very moment.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A 2m long spear flew out with the sound of the wind cutting through it..
Kwakwakwakkwak.!
Kwaaang!
Spears stuck halfway through the ice wall.
It is a javelin..
Although it is temporary, it has enough power to penetrate a wall made of glacier sculpture..
But no surprise. Other windows knocked on the wall one after another..
bang! Kwaang!
Cracks were drawn along the wall..
I can't last much like this.
It was obvious that in the future the windows would reach out to the players inside..
“Go outside and find cover first! If you stay here, that's what happens.!”
Kwak Dae-ho quickly gave an order..
“damn!”
“Hayoung drinks the potion and prepares to cast immediately. As soon as I find the enemy's location, I'll counterattack right away.!”
“all right!”
fault!
Taat!
Players go out of the igloo in order and form a formation..
Still, it was a quick judgment and action, as befits someone belonging to the Dangun guild..
＊＊＊
Hehehe!
There was a strong snowstorm.
I felt something moving between the trees, but it was difficult to identify the exact location due to visibility..
At least at the level of Kwak Dae-ho and the rest of the players..
“Damn it. Where on earth did you shoot it??”
“I don't know It looks like it's at the top of the hill, but there are so many points you can aim for..”
“Phew. This is like a rat in a poison..”
Let’s hide behind the rock and just peek our head out..
Shhh… … Kwaang!
The window flew out as if it had been waiting..
Colorful sparks flew out from the spear that bounced off the rock..
It was close..
If I had gone a little further outside, my entire head would have been torn off immediately..
“Pfft! Those bastards. They know exactly what we're doing in this storm.”
This side doesn't know the other side's location, but the other side clearly knows this side..
I understood why none of the scouting parties that went first came back..
How can you survive when Mother Nature is on your back and sniping at you??
however.
Someone calmly walked out of the rock.
It was Jinhyuk..
“Go, Jinhyeok Kang! It's dangerous!”
Kwak Dae-ho shouted urgently, but it was already too late..
Multiple windows flooding in at the same time.
Sigh.
Jinhyuk slightly tilted his head to the left..
A spear passed 3cm away from my cheek..
Neither excessive nor hasty.
It just moves around a gap of about half a step..
Phew! deeply!
The stray spears stuck in the snow.
Then other spears flew, but the result was the same..
Sigh! Pow! deeply!
Rather than blocking or parrying with a sword, just predict the trajectory and dodge..
The jaws of those watching dropped open at the absurd sight..
Such acrobatic evasion in a place with no visibility?.
I can't tell if I'm dreaming or not..
“Uh oh…….”
“This is reality, right??”
“this… … Is it S-class? Crazy... … That's right, really.”
In fact, some even tried to pinch their thighs..
Did he feel that no matter how many spears he threw, it was useless??
The window no longer flew out..
Moreover, like a lie, the snowstorm stopped.
The sound of the wind subsides. Vision began to clear little by little..
Over a small snow-covered hill.
Ice trolls were seen emitting blue eyes..
Up to this point, it was as everyone expected..
but.
“Well, what is that?…….”
“What is that guy?……?”
I could hear loud intake of breath here and there..
creepy!
A cold chill spreads throughout my body..
Cold sweat ran down the players' spines..
It had to be that way..
A completely unexpected being has appeared among the trolls facing us now..
“……You really don't give me a chance to get bored..”
A smile filled with complex emotions appeared on Jinhyuk's lips..
To be honest, I was quite surprised this time..
