I'm a max level newbie - episode 212
212fury. One question and one answer) (2)
"……What now?"
"The ‘Tomb of the Antichrist’, a ruin located on the 15th floor of the tower. I would like you to tell me the route to the 7th room there.."
Gawain repeated what he had calmly said..
Tomb of the Antichrist.
15This is the space where the boss monster of the floor, ‘Wailing Witch’ resides..
Up to this point, everyone knew the information.…….
The problem is that what he is asking for is the 7th room in the ruins..
There are only three holy magic places in the tower.).
It was a place where demon kings and demons could appear through holy relics..
'Does visiting this place mean that you have figured out the locations of all the sacred objects?.'
or not…….
'Does this mean that you have already gathered the minimum necessary sacred items for manifestation?.'
In either case, it meant that the demons who had been quiet for a while were not simply playing around and eating..
"How do you think I know where it is??"
"Don't act naive. We already know that you are rotten beyond imagination.."
"I appreciate the compliment, but aren't you overestimating me? You may really not know."
"haha. You're still acting like a fool. However, whether it is true or not is not for me to judge.."
If you tell a lie, the scale will just move..
The cogs beneath Jinhyuk’s feet began to tremble violently..
I can't delay answering any longer..
"If you go to the tomb, you will find a room full of stone statues of various monsters.."
"Room of Penitence... … Are you saying?"
"okay. There, find a place where goblin statues are gathered. If you look closely, they are arranged in the shape of a cross.."
After saying that, Gawain also realized what Jinhyeok was talking about..
"enemy… … tomb of christ."
cross hanging upside down.
In other words, the goblin statue should also be rearranged to look exactly like it..
"That way, you'll find the room you want.."
Jinhyuk finished speaking, but Cheonqing didn’t even move..
"You told the truth.."
"I have no hobby of being a rat.."
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders..
I mean this..
Being beaten to death miserably was a far cry from the life I wanted for a comfortable retirement..
And of course.
The same goes for giving him correct information..
'They trusted me with my unique abilities... … It's the biggest mistake you've ever made.'
Gawain’s unique ability ‘Balance of Trust’'.
It may seem plausible on the surface, but in fact, the operating principle is far from supernatural..
Should I say it's some kind of sophisticated lie detector??
The ability to determine the authenticity of a horse through heart rate, breathing, body temperature, etc. was closer to modern technology..
Of course, even if you know that, it is close to impossible to fake that unique ability..
The human body is not a machine.
How exactly do you control it all??
but,
It is possible for stagnant water.
Because they were not ordinary humans.
'good…….'
Jinhyuk was already fully aware of his own biological rhythm..
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
'Maintains body temperature by appropriately combining ‘glacier sculpture’ and ‘fire element’..
'I controlled my breathing volume with ‘shallow breathing’..
I even deceived myself and added the truth to completely lie..
So a new truth was created.
7The path does not lead to the third room, but directly leads to the room where the Wailing Witch resides..
'Go and try to make the Demon King appear..'
Can that voice go anywhere near the demon world?.
Rather, you will get to feel very keenly how the Wailing Witch treats those who break into the living room of someone else's house..
by the way.
I was going to give up on copying abilities from a witch since the copying conditions can only be achieved by offering a living sacrifice..
Unexpectedly, living sacrifices rolled in like vines..
'It could totally kill two birds with one stone..'
The corners of Jinhyeok's mouth went up at the thought of gaining an unexpected opportunity..
"Now, should I ask a question??"
"Ah, yes… … Tell me."
"Tell me how many players within the Mine Association have changed to 'black apostles'?."
"……!"
Gawain's face continued to smile..
The smile disappeared in an instant..
＊＊＊
There is a saying that you give in return and receive in return..
This case is exactly the same as the saying..
Gawain bit his lip..
'7In order to obtain information about the third room, we were prepared to hand over some information.…….'
I certainly didn't expect Jinhyuk to understand such deep things..
Well, it has to be that way.
The Black Apostle was a job that could only be chosen by those chosen by the Demon King or a high-ranking Demon, and no one other than the Demons knew of its existence..
Even within the Mine Association, the hidden class known only to high-ranking executives is the Black Apostle..
'Even though I was so careful... … Was this the one who was still letting down his guard?.'
At this point, beyond being surprising, fear of the other person naturally began to creep in..
However, there was no time to blame myself for my mistakes now..
Because since I was on the scale, I had to answer the question..
"Pfft!"
The moment this is said, it becomes clear how many demon lords and demons have made contracts with players..
Nevertheless, Gawain had to spit out this information as is..
"three… … no see."
Three…….
Surprisingly, many contracts were signed..
Considering the level of demons and their movements so far, I could roughly guess to what extent they were intervening..
This is valuable information that cannot be converted to money..
"Thanks for the good information."
Jinhyuk smiled brightly..
At the same time, the balance on the floor gradually disappeared..
right then.
Murmur!
I heard a commotion outside..
Dozens of torches moved dizzyingly as the metal clashed..
Since you made such a fuss, the Empire would have sent guards unless you were an idiot..
"I guess I'll have to part ways for today. It was like taking flesh in exchange for bone, but I will pay for this with Jinhyeok's life next time.."
"hmm. If possible, I want to meet you for a long time without killing you.."
"……What's the point of that??"
What does it mean?.
"It means I don't want to cut down a tree as generous as you.."
A tree full of delicious fruits.
Why do we already kill trees that can be used as firewood by cutting them down to the base in the winter??
You should use it for as long as possible..
"……I'll remember those words."
Since Gawain also achieved his purpose for coming here, he easily ignored Jinhyeok's provocation..
Then, I suddenly remembered something and stopped..
"ah. really. And he almost forgot to tell me one thing.."
Gawain glanced at Jinhyuk..
"Did you say he was a genius??"
"cloth… … meteor? Why does that guy’s name come up all of a sudden??"
"It's nothing special. Before I came to the Empire, I stopped by the Murim area for a while, and I happened to meet him there. To be exact, I only saw it from afar.."
Cheon Yu-seong is with Moorim at this time..
That meant only one thing.
＊＊＊
A gentle breeze passed through the grass..
The fragrant scent of grass pierced my nose..
"……."
After standing silently for a long time, Cheon Yu-seong slowly closed his eyes..
Sigh…….
The sword began to move slowly through the air..
The speed and trajectory of the sword gradually became dazzling, as if dealing with an invisible person..
The object that came to mind was none other than Jinhyeok..
It was the reason he climbed the tower and the purpose of remaining in this world..
'……I will definitely overcome it.'
obsession bordering on madness.
The desire to defeat it, even if it meant giving up everything, and to be recognized by the target was consuming my entire body..
Boom!
The sword's speed has increased by one level..
Now each and every sword is imbued with fearsome magical power..
'As the outcome of 'The Sword of the Fall' unfolded, a sword dance reminiscent of a storm unfolded..
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Terrain that divides without hesitation.
The soil is dug up and the grass is cut down..
'beautiful'.
When I saw Cheon Yu-seong become one with the sword, there was no other way to express it..
How many minutes have passed since we had this crazy virtual fight??
By the time my whole body was drenched in sweat and I was out of breath..
"That's awesome. Indeed, I understand why it is called the Sword Saint among players.."
Baek Seol-lin came with the scent of plum blossoms..
Originally, it was a hostile relationship that would have involved clashing swords right away.…….
Cheon Yu-seong did not take any action even after seeing Baek Seol-lin..
"I would have said I would come down when it was all over.?"
"It was like that. However, I wanted to see it in person. Even though it's not a real fight, it's a sparring match with the person you've become so obsessed with.."
The depth of the footprints and the traces of the sword were enough to determine the level of the intended opponent..
Of course, what was the result?.
"……I couldn't get over it. This time too."
Cheon Yu-seong lowered his sword..
Even though I tried my best.
Even though I didn't make a single mistake.
I failed to defeat Jinhyeok again..
No matter how much I tried again and again, I couldn't seem to overcome that monster..
"surely… … The man I met back then was outside the standard. If he fights properly, no one among the players can cut him down.."
Baek Seol-lin calmly confessed the reality..
Wriggling.
Tendons sprouted from Cheon Yu-seong’s forehead..
Because among the players she was talking about was herself..
"Don't be too angry. Isn’t that why we came to visit Yuseong Cheon? If you understand the skill of the sword and go over that wall one level... … You, too, will be able to reach a level that transcends humanity.."
"……."
I came to Moorim to become stronger..
To catch up with that absurd swordsmanship.
In order to surpass the strongest ranker that gives me shivers just by meeting him..
'The growth period must be further shortened..'
I couldn't stay buried in Jinhyuk's shadow forever..
At least this time.
"Is it possible? In such a short period of time?"
"As you know. If you're as skilled as you are, it will take too much time to break through the wall using ordinary methods.."
The climax, the super climax, and the process of getting there is never smooth..
In the beginning, it was possible to break through the wall semi-forcibly through rigorous training and expensive elixirs..
From that point on, no matter how much training and elixirs were poured, it was useless..
All that's left is meditation... … Or just gain enlightenment through sparring with an overwhelmingly strong person..
but.
"Are you saying that you can bring such an expert here now??"
In the past, Cheon Yu-seong even defeated the Maehwa sword, known as the best sword of Hwasan..
Of course, in order to reach that level, he had to continue to grow further, but to deal with the monster that was Kang Jin-hyuk, being a plum sword sword was not enough..
It has to be a stronger opponent.
however.
Baek Seol-lin smiled confidently..
"There is only one person. Cheon Yu-seong has extensive knowledge about martial arts, so you might know about it.."
Sabak.
With the soft sound of stepping on blades of grass.
someone approached.
And the moment I saw that person.
"How did the author get here?……."
An earthquake occurred in the pupil of Cheon Yu-seong..
A person who should never exist.
A person who could never be here has appeared..
