I'm a max level newbie - episode 262
262fury. Seven Deadly Sins (3)
"……What does it mean to have a plan that benefits us all??"
Nirasha's hand stopped..
Then, an even deeper smile appeared on Tristan's lips..
"Jinhyuk Kang."
a person's name.
That's enough..
As expected, Nirasha's facial expression changed noticeably..
"……Are you saying we should eliminate that person? hold hands with you?"
"Haven’t you also suffered a lot from Kang Jin-hyuk? We too are grinding our teeth together.."
"Killing that guy is definitely the gift I want to receive the most for Christmas this year. However, if my involvement with you guys is discovered, it won't be a disgrace to the guild's name. The guild itself may disappear altogether.."
If the ultimate goal of players climbing the tower is to prevent the destruction of humanity, the demons' top concern is to make demons appear in this world..
Even if that weren't the case, being with criminals who were all wanted would cause more harm than good..
"Well, that's true, but all of that will only happen when our alliance becomes known to the outside world.."
"If you think you can prevent information leaks from a ruin that can even be broadcast live... … I think you are very mistaken.?"
"It's not an illusion. Of course, it's not groundless nonsense.."
because…….
"We are currently with the owner of the ruins.."
Great witch skilled in curses and barriers.
If it is a boss monster that has created as many as seven Gate Guardians, it is not easy to control just one.…….
It was also possible to deploy a barrier that could interfere with the broadcasting system..
The sneer completely disappeared from Nirasha's face..
Union of boss monsters, mine associations, and top guilds.
"surely… … If that's the case, then there's a possibility.."
It's not something that can be stopped by just one player..
Even with the power of one country, it won’t be easy..
"Can I take that to mean that you will be with us??"
"First, listen to the plan."
Even though I said that, my mind was already half-hearted..
You just need to be a little more confident here..
"What Nirasha and Gandhara Guild need to do is simple. Just cut off their supply and rear support, and we'll take care of the rest.."
"If it's a supply route... … Olympus Guild?"
"yes. That's it."
Currently, the second attack group consisted of four people, including Jinhyeok, and players from Olympus..
Four people were in charge of the strategy and the rest were in charge of the rear.…….
If they can be annihilated behind them, the ones in front will be completely isolated..
In short, it means a rat in a poison..
"Have you been keeping quiet until now in order to draw it in as deeply as possible? It's fun. I never thought demons would be this patient.."
"It's a light thing, isn't it? Since the main kernels are removed and you only have to keep the small pieces, there is almost no risk.."
"good… … but. We're not going to Olympus just by ourselves.."
"Are you really asking for support? You can wipe out the rear on your own, so why??"
"If, by any chance, the plan fails, I want to create a corner where I can retreat. At least I won't be seen there.."
Nirasha drew a line as if she could not compromise on this much..
In the end, Tristan took a step back..
"Well then, let us support one of the apostles. The apostle who presides over ‘wrath’. And Gawain will help you too.."
Support from apostles and mine executives.
That's enough..
More than enough.
＊＊＊
Cuckoo cuckoo!
The stone walls of the entire ruins moved simultaneously..
The obstacles that were in the way disappeared in an instant, and the various monsters that were rampaging to protect the territory also disappeared like smoke..
a clear road.
"brother… … This is a little strange?"
"brother. All the bugs have gone away."
Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min said a word each..
"I can't feel any magical response around me. I think they probably disarmed all the barriers and traps throughout the ruins.……."
Maria, who was using detection magic, also looked like she couldn't understand..
On the other hand.
A strange laugh came out of Jinhyuk’s mouth..
'indeed. Are you saying it will come out like this?.'
this is an invitation.
If you are confident, come here.
Although it was obvious that bait was being thrown out in the open, it probably means that a lot of preparation was done..
There is no reason to turn down the path you have to take anyway..
On the contrary, it saved me time, so I'm thankful for it..
"Let's go."
"No, brother. Doesn’t this seem like a trap? Let's just go?"
It's a trap…….
"It's a trap if you can tighten your breathing precisely.."
This is just a play on the hope that it will happen..
"If I'm late, I'll leave it behind?"
Jinhyuk took the lead.
"My brother’s confidence is really… … under. I'll go. I'm going.."
And then three people followed, shaking their heads..
How much did it take to do that??
After passing through a long passage, we arrived at a room filled with numerous stone statues of monsters..
The so-called Penance Room.
This is the final gateway to the Wailing Witch..
At the same time, it was also a place guarded by the most difficult of the seven deadly sins..
"Crrrrr……."
It was at that time that I heard the sound of a lot of phlegm..
Coo! Coo! Cooung!
An apostle over 3 meters tall appeared between the stone statues..
Tusks protruding from green skin.
The bursting stomach and muscular arms were quite impressive..
But what caught my eye the most was the huge cart he was pulling..
The cart filled with unidentified, bizarre pieces of meat and plants seemed to explain why he was called the ‘Apostle of Gluttony.’.
ring!
A purple status window appeared in front of everyone..
[In order to make an effective attack on the Apostle of Gluttony, you must consume the ingredients in the cart he is pulling..]
[Otherwise, all unique abilities and skills are invalidated..]
The meat and plants in the cart contain a special ingredient called 'Pectecrocin', and it had to be dissolved in magic to deal damage to that apostle..
the problem is…….
Aside from the fact that the ingredients looked terrible, they had such a terrible smell and taste that an ordinary human being would not be able to bring them near their mouths..
No matter how strong a person you are, this is absolutely impossible..
"I want you to eat that.?"
Maria took a step back with a white face..
"I do it in a variety of ways. really."
"If that's the only way, I guess I should try it... … This must be a pain in the ass.."
Yeo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who had all kinds of experiences, also swallowed their dry saliva..
right then.
"Ohhhhh!"
The Apostle of Gluttony, who discovered the intruder, took out a mace from inside the cart..
The distance narrowed in an instant.
Kwaang!
The mace grazed Jinhyeok's head and shattered the stone statue of the monster right behind him..
'Still fast.'
His movements are unbecoming of his size, and he looks like a swallow filled with water..
If I hadn't known the characteristic of the little toe turning inward by about 3 degrees before maximum acceleration, I might have cracked my head..
However, the attack did not end there..
It's only just begun.
"Wow!"
The Apostle of Gluttony swung his mace once again..
This time too, Jinhyuk avoided the attack by slightly changing the angle..
No, I thought I overlooked it..
Cheek!
Sharp pain felt in the shoulder.
It's not because of the mace..
My skin burned when I touched the green smoke rising around the mace..
"Did you pick up and eat only the spoiled food and end up with poison??"
Jinhyuk widened the distance even further..
According to the system's explanation, this side's normal attacks don't work, so there was no other way than to avoid it..
At least until I eat that food..
Of course, knowing a method and being able to put it into practice are completely different things..
"Ooh, ooh... … ! Tongue, bro. this… … Wow!"
"This is not at the level of the Bob police, but at the level of the prosecutor’s office. How can I eat this?!"
Taemin Lee and Yeonhwa Lee, who were trying to shovel their food in through gritted teeth, spit out what they had chewed..
Squishy gray chunks of meat fell to the floor..
No matter how urgent the situation is, I just can't eat this..
Then suddenly the apostle of gluttony stretched out his hand toward the cart..
As if to say that food should be eaten like this..
"Groulu gwaaaa!"
Whoosh! crunch!
A chunk of meat slid down my throat..
[Attack power increases by +10!]
[Agility increases by +12!]
[Movement speed increases by +8!]
Status windows that appear one after another.
The more you eat, the higher your stats will be..
It's probably not an illusion that my already thick arms seem to have gotten a little bigger..
"taste… … I eat a lot. It's all good, but chew it thoroughly. Chehala."
Jinhyuk smiled bitterly..
"Ohhhhh!"
The apostle of gluttony, who roared wildly, began to rampage once again..
＊＊＊
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Kwaaang!
Unlike the Apostle of Gluttony, whose momentum increased, the companions were struggling..
Even though I knew the only strategy, I couldn't use it, so of course it was inevitable..
He was running away from the statues, but it was only a matter of time before he was caught up..
When the situation became overwhelmingly one-sided,…….
"I'm finally calmer now.."
"I felt like my stomach was twisted as I watched them break into someone else's home and go on a rampage. Now I have to think about how to kill him in the most painful way.."
A new voice joined in..
creepy!
the air is freezing.
An ominous, black energy began to encroach on the room full of stone statues..
I couldn't ignore the black-haired beauty walking in front, but the real danger was the white-haired old woman wearing a worn-out robe..
There is no comparison between the apostles I have faced so far..
this horsepower.
this feeling.
……It's definitely true.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed..
'That old woman is the Weeping Witch..'
It has thousands of faces, so I was curious what it would look like this time..
'That old woman must be the Wailing Witch..'
We finally met.
The most important party in this raid.
"Are there people who call themselves demons and bosses hiding in the back and coming out only when our stamina is depleted? Aren't you so cowardly??"
"Hehehe. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to say that you are wise??"
"……you?"
"His name is Tristan. Lancelot's colleague who confronted you... … Should I say."
It seems like there's a bit more emotion involved than just saying they're colleagues..
What's certain is that they don't seem to have any intention of sending it off in a nice way..
Jinhyuk glanced sideways toward the entrance to the ruins..
"If you're expecting any support, I'd advise you to give up.."
"why is that?"
"The Gandhara guild, Gawain, and the apostle in charge of anger all went to the direction where Olympus was located. Well, seeing as they were in such a difficult situation, I didn't think there was any need for a joint attack.."
Tristan shrugged..
"Well, it can't be……."
At the sound of lightning, an earthquake occurred in Maria's pupils..
It was amazing that the demon and the boss of the ruins joined hands, but I never imagined that they would even betray the Gandhara guild..
If this is true, there is no hope..
The power difference was so serious that it was impossible to compete with..
After being thoroughly defeated individually, we will end up surrounded from front and back..
but.
Even in a situation where everyone was in despair, Jinhyuk was still smiling..
"There are two things you are mistaken about. First, I was also wasting my time fighting that lump.."
"Hmm. Are you saying she did it on purpose??"
"I had to wait for you guys to crawl out. If he manages to run away, it will be quite a pain to track him down.."
To hunt perfectly, it's best to make your opponent think you're the hunter rather than the prey..
Because a clumsy illusion was the biggest reason for being careless..
"Second, I already knew that you would join hands with Gandhara.."
I have thought through all the options the demons can choose from..
I knew he was with the Wailing Witch, but it would have been hard to guarantee victory with that alone..
Therefore, it was not difficult to predict that he would approach Nirasha, who was obsessed with an inferiority complex..
"It's not a bad plan to split our forces and attack us and Olympus separately. The basic strategy is to cut off rear support and weaken power.."
It is the standard among the standard..
but…….
Standard also means that it is easy to predict..
"Just show off your bravado in moderation. Are you telling us to believe that he predicted it all? If you are thinking of shaking us up by belatedly adjusting the situation, you are greatly mistaken.."
"It may or may not be a bluff. You'll find out in a little while anyway. Which of the two do I mean?."
"that is… … Excuse me?"
Tristan's voice trembled slightly..
As Jinhyuk continued to say confident words, he seemed to have lost a little confidence..
"This means that I also prepared at least some defenses for the rear.."
I called in reliable reinforcements..
maybe… … It'll be much more powerful than what you prepared for?
