Alone Full Level Newbie-Episode 138
138fury. How stagnant water shakes the battlefield (1)
“Human, you, what... … What is it??”
The caracal asked again.
My pupils were still shaking, but that wasn't the important thing right now..
How is the other person…….
How on earth did the Frostblade clan…….
“Do you know about the essence that contains the soul? I'm curious about this?”
“Yes, that's right.”
Essence filled with soul.
It is literally a jewel containing the blessings of the ancestors of the Frost Blade Tribe..
Well, to borrow an expression from the ice trolls, that's what it is..
In reality, it was a crystal that collected the magical power that flowed out when battle fanatics fought and died..
‘From here, I guess I'll have to climb over a wall of worms..’
Jinhyuk came up with a suitable scenario on the spot..
Let's see.
The genre is… … Would it be okay to make it a ‘medieval fantasy’??
[Lv1 ‘Faint Body Odor’ is activated.]
The body odor emanating from Jinhyuk’s body became increasingly faint..
“This can't be right!”
An earthquake occurred in the caracal's pupils..
I was not surprised simply because of the skill in hiding body odor..
I was surprised by the unique magical power flowing from the skill..
‘As expected.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up..
After all, once you reach the 'Hero' level, you can't help but notice the origins of that skill..
“Empire… … Did you belong to.”
An exclamation flowed from the caracal's mouth..
At the same time, my mind began to spin rapidly..
‘is it.’
If so, this explains everything.
The absurd strength of the opponent.
What do you know about the essence of the Frost Blade tribe?.
If the hypothesis is that they are all members of an empire that possesses enormous power and information, then it is correct..
“okay. That's where I came from. I've been mingling with the players for the past few days..”
‘The 'faint body odor' was received from the 'Kingdom of Caladium', one of the kingdoms belonging to the empire at the time of the attack on the mental ward..
Because it was a skill mainly used by the Empire's assassins and had a strong influence on the 5th floor, the skill itself was imbued with the Empire's unique magic..
The caracal recognized this immediately..
Of course, even that was what Jinhyuk had expected..
“As you take over as chieftain, you will also have inherited the knowledge of the previous chieftain..”
Jinhyuk continued speaking without changing his expression..
“As you know, our empire is strong. Of course, I, who was sent directly from the imperial family, have the skills to match him..”
There is no need to explain why you are with the players or why you came down to the lower level of the tower instead of the middle level..
Rather, hiding it appropriately will serve to further strengthen the other person's confidence..
furthermore.
First condition for copying.
-1. Submit your opponent in a fight with Caracal..
There is nothing in this sentence that says you have to physically stamp it..
In other words, all you have to do is break the other person's will in some way..
‘The second condition for drinking is that it will only be possible once this is all over, so this is enough for now..’
And as if to support that prediction.
The anger emanating from the caracal's body subsided in an instant..
The tip of the spear was pointed downwards..
“What do you want from us by doing this??”
A voice filled with resignation and at the same time some anticipation came out..
With those words at the end…….
[First copy condition completed.]
A blue status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk’s eyes..
＊＊＊
It's just as expected.
Now all that's left is to drive a wedge.
“What I want is war.”
Jinhyuk spoke briefly..
Then the caracal's expression suddenly darkened..
“jeon… … He's a kid?”
“okay. Slight vampires and annoying demons. I have to get it all sorted out this time..”
I was planning on inflicting such a fatal blow that he wouldn't even be able to show his face for a while..
Because it was better for them to stay in hiding and lick their wounds..
“If we join hands with you, do you think we can win the fight against them??”
“I can't promise much. If you join me, you will lose a lot of your tribe members..”
If you deal with blood relatives and demons, the damage is bound to be great, no matter how low the frost blade tribe is..
Half of the warriors... … No, maybe more than that will die..
“Warriors are prepared to die at any time. The problem is the non-combatants. If our betrayal becomes known... … And if we are defeated, the tribe itself may disappear..”
“that's right. Surely, that's a possibility.”
Jinhyuk did not deny it..
In the worst case scenario, you have to endure even that..
Nevertheless…….
“Are you okay like this? This is a question of whether you are truly satisfied with just prolonging your life..”
“How could it possibly be okay! However, that might be better than having the tribe's pulse cut off. At least…….”
“no.”
Jinhyuk cut off Caracal’s words..
“That's a life worse than death.”
There can be no meaning to life as a slave..
It is more worthwhile to fight even if it means struggling and dying..
“okay. That’s right… Maybe.”
The caracal made an expression as if it were swallowing molten iron..
As the words struck my bones, drops of blood flowed from between my clenched fists..
“Well, if I'm with you, will the tribe be able to survive??”
“As I said before, I can't promise you much..”
however,
Just one thing. I can promise you this much.
“honor and pride.”
and…….
“freedom. I will let you protect it..”
“……!”
Just a few words.
But the meaning of these three words could not be compared with anything else..
“Honor and pride... … freedom… … la.”
The caracal slowly pondered the words..
Only on the lower levels of the tower were they treated as a strong race, but there was a superior above..
Trolls have always been exploited by stronger races and forces..
It was used as needed and disposed of as soon as it was no longer needed..
It was just a piece of chess used by the powerful to expand the territory of the tower..
That was the life they lived.
It was my destiny to live in the future..
however.
A person has appeared who wants to break that bondage..
It is a short meeting, lasting less than an hour. It was obvious that there wasn't enough time to trust anyone..
But why??
The caracal felt that the weight carried by those words was not light at all..
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
The caracal's heart began to beat wildly..
Because I believed that for the first time, my life of submission and loss of hope could change..
My heart, which had been dry for a long time and had lost its function, was beating..
“From the first time I saw it... … I thought he was an interesting person..”
It's different from braggarts who just talk..
There was a strange charm to what Jinhyuk said..
There was also talent to back up that charm..
“I don't care if you're a player or from the empire.”
Even if this is the wrong choice.
Even if this leads to even more misery,.
“we are…….”
The caracal decided.
“I will no longer live as a slave.”
The Frost Blades will fight.
“Wow!”
“Oooh!”
“It's a battle! take up arms!”
“Freedom! death to enemies!”
A huge roar echoed along the lakeshore..
Now is the start of the counterattack.
＊＊＊
‘A place quite far from the ‘freshwater lake’.
Several men and women were gathered in a place where the white snow was stained black..
The first things I noticed were Bertion and Ophelia..
And next to it was Hossenvelt from the Mine Association..
The reason everyone has a bad facial expression is probably because things didn't go as planned..
right then.
The man sitting on the rock opened his mouth..
“……Was it really that strong? That person named Kang Jin-hyuk?”
Bertion and Ophelia were also beautiful, but nothing compared to this man..
Shoulder-length silver hair, eyes as bright as rubies.
The aura emanating from the white skin was truly admirable..
It's a level that would make anyone look back at least once if they ever bumped into each other on the street..
but.
What made this man great wasn't just his looks..
6A title that can only be obtained by those who serve directly under the great head of the family, ‘Black Wings’’.
And the man, Michael, was a pureblood who played a part in it..
flinch.
Bertion and Ophelia's bodies trembled slightly..
Michael's position was so absolute that even the two blood relatives who were so loyal did not even dare to make eye contact..
“yes. It was frustrating, but I felt like we could barely deal with him if we both attacked him..”
Ophelia, who bowed her head, answered politely..
On the other hand, Bertion immediately refuted.
“Ophelia! What is that... … ! no. It was definitely a little annoying, but that was just because I let my guard down. If you give me one more chance, I'm sure I'll be able to take your breath away..”
“Whoa. Please give me another chance?”
“yes.”
Bertion gritted his molars and fired up his fighting spirit..
“I'd like to do the same for my cute subordinate, but I can't afford to waste money on unnecessary things since the original plan has already gone so far apart..”
“yes? We were pushed back a little, but so far we are much better.…….”
“no.”
Michael's gaze turned to the distant sky..
Then the rest also raised their heads..
As I concentrated, I saw small machines flying around that could almost be called dots. If it weren't for Michael he would have been hard to notice.
“That's fun. Spying on this place through rats.…….”
“So, are you saying they figured out the location of this place??”
“It seems like that. It looks like they have figured out all the important points in the forest. I thought he would find this place someday, but this is too fast..”
Michael grinned..
It was an innocent smile, as if he had finally found something fun to do..
“I'll have my men shoot down those drones right away. And let's capture the guy who controls the drone alive..”
This time, Hossenvelt came forward..
That kind of ability would only be effective within a certain range of the user..
In other words, this means that there are also enemies near that drone..
But Michael shook his head again..
“Don't you think it's strange? Those guys who knew exactly where we were in this vast forest would reveal their location in such a sloppy manner.?”
“……Are you saying it's a trap??”
“Otherwise it wouldn't make sense.”
And the reason for dispersing attention like this is…….
“I'm thinking of going for the ice troll..”
okay. There is nothing else.
While this side's attention was focused on Byeoldong-daero, the other side would have headed to the freshwater lake where the ice trolls are..
Perhaps Jinhyeok Kang thought he could defeat Caracal, the chief of the Frost Blade Tribe. or or…….
‘You think you can appease.’
Considering that the blood relatives treated the trolls harshly, the latter was more likely..
‘Are you planning on making them turn their spear points this way?.’
3If we can break up one of the races' alliances, the humans' odds of winning will go up a little..
Moreover, if you see him acting recklessly, there will be more hidden away..
I couldn't ignore the possibility that there were other forces supporting me besides Ellis..
‘That's fun.’
Considering the situation, it means that the opponent also had his own preparations for victory..
But that's all if this background wasn't discovered..
“You looked at me so funny.”
Michael stood up..
I admit that, for a human being, he uses his brain in his own way, but that's just it..
Having experienced countless battlefields and overcome many hardships,.
And the one who is alive and breathing until the end.
Because it was me, not anyone else.
“Let me explain what you need to do from now on..”
