I'm a max level newbie - episode 260

260fury. Seven Deadly Sins (1)

The person who spoke to me by phone was Beriel..

It's been quiet these past few days, I thought he went to see the other apostles..

It seems like he was secretly watching everything from the side..

"Could it be a headache? What are you talking about?"

[Humans may not be able to smell it, but there is a stinging stench wafting up to my nose. It's a pretty dangerous smell..]

If it’s a scent that Beriel can smell,.

no way……?

"Is there a place where the demonic energy flows out? In these ruins?"

[It's quite far from here. That witch must be up to something. Looking at the mixed smell, it seems like there's someone else besides the witch..]

The Holy Mass in the 7th room, the tomb of the Antichrist, is a place where the devil and demons, one of only three in the tower, can appear..

Besides, if they are together…….

Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed..

Of all the possibilities, the ones with the highest probability passed through my mind..

I can roughly guess how things are going..

And how to use it…….

"Thanks for the advice."

I never thought the day would come when the devil would be of help as I live..

Thanks to you, I got some pretty useful information..

[Hehehe. Don't like it too much. If a demon with a title really appears, you won't be able to handle it at your level..]

"Do you want to tell me that I'm going to die??"

[That's right. However, if you become my apostle, you will be able to avoid dying miserably. Accept the contract now, you lowly human. It's not often that I recommend this often..]

"Whoa. Do you think you are a devil with quite a bit of wit? When I see you talking so confidently?"

The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up..

[It's obvious! Who dares discuss rank in front of me? When it comes to being the strongest in the demon world, this body is what we are talking about. I don't know what kind of demon a witch is connected to, but she can never summon a demon of a higher rank than me.!]

"Oooh!"

Jinhyuk let out an exclamation..

Then Beriel also burst into laughter as if satisfied..

I could see the golden-eyed demon king cackling in the status window..

This guy is so handsome that he looks like the male gods in mythology, but why is he acting so frivolously?…….

[Puhahaha! Have you finally realized just a little bit of my greatness? Then you can see how honored it is to become my apostle. ruler. Hurry and make a contract that connects soul to soul…….]

"no."

[Sigh?]

"I would appreciate the information. But, you can't just tell me this and tell me about the contract and all. At this level, I think I'll have to tell you at least 30 more before I think about signing a contract or not. So keep working hard in the future."

Getting a good apostle is usually not difficult..

Especially in these days when recruiting is difficult..

[Now, wait! What on earth do you think this body is... … ! No, from a demonic point of view, this is not mourning, you damn bastard! Even the devil won't do it like you…….]

Beriel urgently tried to catch him, but Jinhyuk had already turned off the whisper mode..

right then.

"I guess you had a conversation with an acquaintance? You look quite happy.……."

Maria, who had been listening next to me, opened her mouth..

I couldn't hear what they were saying because of the mute function, but I couldn't stop seeing them smiling..

"ah. I received some scouting offers. I appropriately declined, saying I wasn't interested.."

"If it's a scouting offer……."

A look flashed in Maria’s eyes..

He realized that the one who could ask Jinhyuk to join him was not a guild, but a large force..

"Besides the Empire and the Murim, were there any forces remaining in the middle class that had not yet made an offer to Jinhyeok??"

"hmm… … . It's a little higher than that.."

More up.

Maria swallowed dry saliva..

The story is that even the upper class is showing interest in Jinhyuk..

What was even more surprising was that he rejected it with ease..

"also… … You're amazing.."

I couldn't say that Olympus wasn't interested..

Since the powers at the top are also coveting it, how can they possibly be noticed??

However, if it continues like this, Olympus will gradually lose its position and be forgotten in everyone's memory..

As if anticipating that feeling, Jinhyeok hinted at his luck..

"Gandhara and Dangun are not bad options to share, but it will be difficult for everyone to find their own bowl. Above all, can you fight comfortably, leaving your back to those who never know when and where they will betray you??"

"……I guess so. It's a temporary alliance raid formed due to conflict of interest.."

Public value or compensation, etc..

It's just a superficial contract. If I wanted to, it would turn into a piece of paper right now..

"So, leave those people behind and join hands with me.."

"yes?"

"Me, Yeonhwa, Taemin, and Maria can easily attack this place. Needless to say, there are more rewards to share.."

"Well, that’s true, but… … Why did you choose me??"

You can't say it's because of the copy conditions here..

Maria also wanted to stab him in the back, but there was a condition that prohibited her from doing so..

And if you compare the experience and items you can get here with Hellfire,…….

……Of course there was only one choice to make.

"There is no other reason. It's just that my intuition tells me that if she's Maria, she can be trusted.."

Jinhyuk smiled brightly..

Makes all doubts and worries disappear like melting snow.

It was such a warm smile.

＊＊＊

Another union has emerged within the union..

Of course, there is a secret alliance that Nirashana and Park Jeong-jin cannot help but know about..

"……so. Are you and Maria going along the route where the scouting party went missing??"

Nirasha asked back as if she couldn't understand..

"I think so."

"Is it true, Maria??"

"yes. I thought about it and decided. I will follow Jinhyuk.."

Maria nodded slightly..

"The main route we found has a lot of medium-sized monsters, but that's all. The road is wide and the visibility is good, so there are no variables.."

Park Jeong-jin also frowned and added a word..

It doesn't make sense in common sense..

The main route, which can be broken through by force with many advantages, and the unknown route, which is a shortcut but was wiped out by the scouting party..

Considering stability and possibility of success, I had decided which one to choose..

"If you're feeling uneasy, why don't we all go to the place I chose? I can assure you that it is much safer that way.."

"I bet... … under. Don't be funny. They had no choice but to accept you because of the viewers' gaze. It's not that I trust you. Above all, we can attack these ruins on our own without any help.."

In short, it means don't go out carelessly..

"If you really want to say that. We have no choice but to go our separate ways.."

"I will attach some of my men to your side. This is my decision as the head of the command, so I hope you don't take it too harshly. I'm just trying to help you to the extent possible.."

Nirasha snapped her fingers, and a burly man stepped forward..

Arun.

He was a player belonging to the Gandhara guild and a ranker who received the mandala directly from Nirasha..

Well said, he's a helper. In fact, it was no different from the intention to monitor..

However, Jinhyuk still did not lose his smile..

"help. I will gratefully receive it. I also really needed people to go with me.."

＊＊＊

After a while, the second attack group, separated from the first attack group, arrived at the road guarded by the second apostle..

This is the exact place where the entire scouting party was completely wiped out..

The straight passageway was narrow enough for at most five people to pass through..

'Is this the right place?.'

[Arun activates his unique ability ‘Gungung (振窮) Mandala (曼茶羅)’!]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

A golden mist spread along the entire passageway..

"indeed……."

A satisfied exclamation flowed from Arun's mouth..

Thanks to the Mandala's power to see through the essence of an object, I was able to figure out what the trap was in this passage..

passage of silence.

This is a place to talk... … Or, it is a place where there is a curse that causes the subject to fall asleep if the noise due to movement exceeds a certain decibel level..

Of course, since the effect was at the same level as absolute judgment, it could not be canceled with unique abilities and skills..

'Once you are cursed, you will fall asleep for at least a week..'

Because of this, the scouting party sent as an advance party had no choice but to be wiped out on the way..

Probably, there are sleeping guys lying around somewhere up ahead..

'It was hard on my body, but I did a good job using my abilities..'

At least the second gate must be shown to be passed in Gandhara..

This relic could receive the same treatment as moving to the next level if certain conditions were met. It was a place that definitely needed to be cleared..

The fact that it was a place where live broadcasts could be held was also a factor that could not be ignored..

"We will pass first. Don't bother me and stay behind.."

"Are you saying you found a way to get through the trap??"

"okay. Telling you would only take time, so let us pass through first and then disarm the trap.."

"Well, I understand. Do by that way."

Surprisingly, Jinhyuk resigned obediently..

Although he was a little suspicious, Arun didn't think much about it..

Since we knew the conditions for activating the trap and the other party gave in, there was no reason to argue anymore..

'The trap will never be dismantled, so just stand there and watch for the rest of your life..'

Jeopuk.

Arun and the remaining four players confidently stood at the beginning of the passage..

Silencing the sound wasn't that difficult for them..

Sabak.

The sound of very small steps grazing the ground.

I took a deep breath and heightened my entire body's senses to the extreme..

The speed is not fast, but we are moving forward steadily, so we will reach the end soon..

'All you have to do is keep calm.'

Arun's face turned red at the fact that his goal was just around the corner..

I was finally able to overcome that stagnant figure and receive Nirasha’s recognition..

But that was right then..

[Pampa, pampa, pampa, pampa, pampa! All troops must gather at the parade ground by 06:30.……!]

At the starting point, a deafening trumpet sound rang out..

"ah. Wake up call... … ! sorry. I forgot to put it on mute. haha."

Jinhyuk looked embarrassed and quickly turned off the red status window..

What I set to tell you not to oversleep is ringing here..

What should I do because I’m sorry about this??

There is no such thing as a nuisance..

I never thought I would get a loud military-style wake-up call..

"this… … Even if I rip it to death, it won't hurt……."

Arun trailed off..

Unable to overcome the overwhelming drowsiness, I could no longer maintain my thoughts..

"sorry. To pass through here, at least 5 people must fall asleep due to the sleeping curse. I will never forget the precious sacrifice you voluntarily made.."

"Sounds like a sacrifice……."

In blurred vision.

I thought I could see Jinhyuk putting his hands together and apologizing..

To be precise, the pure white teeth visible between the twisted mouth.

Cooung!

and that is.

It was the last sight Arun remembered..
