I'm a max level newbie - episode 351
351fury. old guard (2)
Cooung!
The huge body of the ant ghost collapsed..
With a loud noise, sand was scattered in all directions..
The named monster that didn't even flinch was struck down by two arrows..
'Those guys…….'
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed..
Obviously, these are the guys I met on the 50th floor..
The name is clear…….
'The residents were called the 'Old Guard'.
Even though they were not on par with godhood, they were rankers who were worthy of being considered 'heroes'..
Like Theseus in Greece or Cheok Jun-gyeong in Korea. It means that they are at the same level as those who have been recognized for their numerous achievements and have risen in rank..
'As expected, the 50th floor was involved..'
The fact that Nyarlathotep's royal guard, who can freely roam the stairs of the tower, has come here means that they are also extremely wary of all the crowns gathering..
"Are you a guy named Kang Jin-hyuk??"
The biggest man opened his mouth..
The other three are also strong, but possess magical power of a different level..
That guy is the boss..
"that's right. I'm Jinhyuk Kang. That one?"
"We are called the Old Guard. Those who protect the balance of the tower... … Let's say."
Protecting balance is a mess.
They must be cleaners who only do dirty work for high-ranking people..
"Hey. These guys seem to have something really special about them. So why did people like the Earth Defense Force find me??"
"I know you're after the crown."
sreung!
The great sword worn on the man's back was pulled out..
On a dark day, the length alone is over 2m..
If I even brush against it, it feels like it will be torn apart rather than cut..
"Are you saying you don't want competitors??"
"It's because I'm careful to do things neatly. I'm sorry, but I guess I'll have to die here.."
Creepy and.
The cold life began to encroach on the surroundings..
There are four residents at the hero level..
Moreover, those guys specialize in defeating enemies stronger than themselves..
'I need to shake it up a bit here..'
You can increase your chances of winning by creating even a small commotion or gap..
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth twitched subtly..
"Among the Old Guard, if there was a large man who used a great sword, he would be a 'Hound'. It's all good, but the number one person didn't come in person. At best he's like 4th and he's not acting too strong?"
A word thrown out abruptly.
However, the meaning contained in those words was by no means light..
"……!"
"……?"
"what……."
An earthquake occurred in the pupils of three men and women..
"You… … How do you know my name?"
The Hound who received the nomination also had his sword tip shake for a moment..
The Old Guard, Nyarlathotep's personal guard, is one of the most secret organizations in the Tower..
Even the managers did not know the members accurately..
However, one player.
What on earth can you do with a child who hasn't even been in the tower for 3 years?……?
I picked up something about the Old Guard from someone… … There was no other way to explain it than this..
but.
'It doesn't make sense to know my rank.'
The only rank is Nyarlathotep.
This is information that only one person knows..
The Hound's composure was shaken even more violently..
And that gap.
Jinhyuk didn’t miss out..
Jinhyeok, who secured independence.
Tuk.
'Accelerated through ‘Geomma Cheonryeongbo’.
Jinhyuk's body immediately headed towards the opposite entrance..
The idea is to take advantage of the chaos and escape through the only way out..
"Where dare you!"
The hound, who came to his senses at a slow pace, roared..
at the same time.
Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... … Kwakwakwakkwak.!
Three beams of light pierced the air..
The man holding the longbow set the next arrow on the string as if it were no problem..
"As long as I am. Not a single ant can escape.."
'black rock'.
He is a member of the Old Guard and one of the top ten shrines in the entire tower..
This means that even Artemis of Olympus and Hercules are monsters that are difficult to dominate..
"I got caught by a troublesome hunter.."
If that guy is intent on going after it, running down the passage just before it is tantamount to suicide..
Jinhyuk immediately changed direction..
It was a much narrower and cramped cave..
like that.
Into the dark passage. Jinhyuk's body completely disappeared..
"You got it right."
"okay. Once you go down that road, it's over.."
"If you work hard to run away, you will eventually realize it. That the place you went was a single road."
At first glance, it looked like another exit, but in fact there is no exit from that passage..
"Be sure to capture him alive. We need to find out the source of the information he has.."
"yes."
"okay."
"Is this the first time in a while that we are hunting? Sounds fun.."
After the hound's command, the chase began..
＊＊＊
Jinhyuk entered the passage and accelerated his pace even more..
'You must be relieved that you have driven yourself into a dead end. 'Cause you'll think I don't know the geography of this place.'
however.
After a while, you will realize how wrong that thought was..
I was planning to receive a very generous reward for trying to play tag with the rotten water in the Tower of Trials..
Previously…….
Jinhyuk quickly activated his personal status window..
[Real-time trading requires a usage fee of 1,000,000 coins. Do you still want to proceed? Y/N]
"I'll pay."
It was a waste of coins, but there is nothing we can do here..
In order to deal with them, there were necessary ingredients other than dogmatism..
Originally, I was planning to take a little more time and do local procurement..
As the situation changes, we must respond accordingly..
[Waiting for the other party's acceptance.]
Turrr… … . Turrrr…….
The call connection tone rang several times..
And at that very moment.
ring!
"Hmm. This is surprising again."
A familiar voice rang out along with a small video..
Rick Hennessy.
The owner of the top and the middle manager of the top has appeared..
"Hmm. I was just about to go to bed, why did you contact me at this late hour??"
"Sorry for interrupting your break. Because it’s so urgent.."
"haha. How can I help you??"
Rick still smiled brightly with his kind face..
"I'm being chased by some troublesome guys right now, and I need some items to deal with them.."
"If player Jinhyuk Kang is going to be chased... … These aren't ordinary chasers, I guess.."
"Nyarlathotep are like the personal guard of the gods. He calls himself the 'Old Guard'. Do you know?"
In Jinhyuk’s words, there was a gap of about 0.1 seconds..
But it only lasted a moment.
"This is my first time hearing it. Even managers have limited information about the stairs.."
"Oh, of course it is. it's okay. Anyway, what I want to ask for is an item.."
"Please tell me."
Rick slowly stood up..
A huge amount of items caught my eye beyond the status window..
These are rare items that are difficult to even look at..
"What I need……."
Jinhyuk opened his mouth..
＊＊＊
"I went this way. The distance is about 500m. It's moving slower than I thought.."
BlackRock measured the distance to the target.
"That's strange. I thought we'd be almost to the end of the aisle by now.."
The hound also carefully examined the traces left on the floor..
Apparently, it's been less than a minute since I passed here..
When you think about the specs he has. It was impossible..
"I think there's something up there. This may be to save time, so if you leave it to me, I will go and handle it on my own.."
Short hair woman... … No, the 27th-ranking member of the Old Guard, called Sheli, insisted on a quick pursuit..
but.
"no."
Hound felt something strange in Jinhyeok’s behavior..
"I heard that he is a guy who has gone through many hardships. The fact that such a loach deliberately slows down means that there must be a reason for us to follow behind.."
"trap… … Do you mean?"
"okay. It looks like he already knows that the passage is blocked.."
This means that choosing a single path was not simply to avoid a predicament..
"That's fun."
The corner of the hound's mouth turned up..
I thought it was just an ordinary hunt.
I think this mission will be much more fun..
"Don't miss even the little things."
Immediately four shadows crossed the cave..
How much time has passed?
"Leader."
"okay……."
The Hound found a rune drawn on the floor..
Between the cracks and crevices in the rocks. Although it was cleverly hidden using sand,.
I couldn't avoid the eyes of Ranger Black Rock..
"It's a barrier. That's also a pretty high level type.."
5haste…….
No, this might be 6 stars or higher..
'To create a trap with such a barrier in such a short amount of time?.'
As expected, it is a formidable prey..
'Normally, the hunter would be the hunted..'
but.
In normal cases, it just means that.
In this case, there is no way.
Kwakwakwakkwak!
The Hound drew his great sword and destroyed the emblem that was the core of the barrier..
Without a single error. It was a very clean swordsmanship..
If we respond carefully in this way, there will be no variables..
"keep moving."
The Hound took the lead..
Afterwards, several different types of traps were released, but they were not enough to fool the Old Guard..
Kwakwang!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
All traps made with great care were neutralized..
Barriers, various magic, and very rare items disappeared meaninglessly..
The last place we reached like that.
Jinhyeok was left alone after all his plans failed..
"It was quite good. To be honest, if it weren't for us, your plan would have worked.."
The Hound gave pure praise..
"…… As expected, it looks like the Old Guard. I didn't expect you to come without any injuries. Thanks to you, the things I paid expensive money for became just scraps of toilet paper.."
"It's good that you gave up so quickly. So, why don't you tell me how you know about us??"
"huh? why should i say that?"
"As long as you have used up all of your cards. If you don't want to die painfully, wouldn't it be better to open that mouth??"
The Hound drew a line towards Jinhyeok’s limbs with his great sword..
As if warning me that I would cut off your limbs one by one..
however.
Even amidst the bloody threats, Jinhyuk still just shrugged his shoulders leisurely..
"ah… … I thought this was all I had prepared?"
If so, I'm really sorry..
the expectation.
Because it looks shattered.
"What was ahead was simply a warm-up.."
Something that disturbed the gaze and gave a plausible reason..
The real thing starts now.
['‘A Mirror that Breaks Boundaries’ and ‘Leevens’ 11 Jewels’ resonate.!]
['The ‘string that connects beliefs’ is activated.!]
Of the 11 gems Rivens purchased expensively from Rick, 8 were used for this spell..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
with a dazzling light.
My vision has completely changed.
'sun dunes'.
A majestic view of the place where the crown is believed to be buried has been revealed.
"This is……."
The Hound faced the great sword..
and.
in front of them…….
Those fully prepared for battle were waiting..
[Unique Abilities…….]
Each ability blooms.
[''Sword Song' is activated.!]
['‘Star’s Protection’ is activated!]
['‘Puppet play’ begins.!]
['‘Whispers of the Forest’ is activated!]
"Now let's fight properly. Let's do it fairly and correctly.."
Jinhyuk smiled brightly..
