I'm a max level newbie - Chapter 367
367fury. Order of the Dead (4)
black horns on white skin.
The appearance of a mischievous child is impressive..
demon.
Judging by the length of his horns, he was a high-ranking nobleman..
"Hehe, it looks like all the people you rarely see here are gathered here.."
"How dare demons tell me where this is?!"
Athens immediately aimed her spear and shield..
The white magical power rotated fiercely as if trying to pierce through the enemy who entered their territory without warning..
"stop."
However, Zeus's will could not be achieved with just one gesture..
"……father?"
"The demon world came all the way here... … That's fun. Okay, what happened??"
"It is an honor to be welcomed by the Supreme Lord of Olympus. My name is Masheed. They are demons who serve the great demon king Guntafer.."
The boy bowed deeply to show respect..
If he is at the level of a demon king, he is an absolute person that even other gods cannot look down on..
The messenger came all the way here.…….
The corners of Zeus' mouth turned up subtly..
"Say it. Why do you want to meet us?."
"I would like to propose a formal alliance between Olympus and the Demon World.."
"……!?"
alliance.
The unexpectedly loud words froze the surroundings..
Until now, cooperation among the major powers at the top was impossible due to each other's values and interests..
I accepted it because it was my destiny to die and kill until one survived..
In particular, the rule that all crowns must be collected by one force pushed everyone to the limit..
however.
Who would have thought that the most insidious demon world would be the first to propose an alliance?.
"Hoo."
Zeus tapped his fingers on the table..
"Are you interested?"
"First, I'm curious as to why you want to form an alliance.."
"To be honest, we weren't interested in an alliance with Olympus either. However, after starting the war against Ragnarok, Eden also began to move in earnest. We have no choice but to respond as well.."
Eden is in principle neutral toward all powers except the Demon World..
However, due to the expansion of Olympus' territory and Kizakiel's rebellion, unusual movements began to be detected..
In order to restore internal solidarity and balance the forces, they attacked the demon world..
"It means that we are needed to keep Eden in check.."
"Not a bad proposition, is it? Zeus is currently unable to use one of his strongest cards because he is keeping Eden in check.."
"……."
It sure hurts not to be able to bring Hercules to battle..
If only the strongest demigod were there, the last ruins of Jotunheim would have already fallen..
Even though they took control of the northern region of Ragnarok, they were unable to take control of the most important base, and wasted time was the harsh reality faced by Olympus..
however.
"It seems impossible to form an alliance simply for that reason. I can handle Eden as much as I want. Jotunheim could also be taken if we just spent a little more time.."
Zeus flatly rejected the demon world's offer..
breakdown of negotiations.
What this meant was the death of the messenger who delivered the proposal..
Patsu Tzu Tzu!
Zeus' unique sacred spear, 'Astrape', gave off brilliance beyond imagination..
If it were the strongest spear that could pierce even the devil's spirit, even nobles would disappear into a handful of ashes..
however.
Masheed, who should have been trembling in fear or running away, was still standing there..
"Would we have proposed an alliance just because of Eden??
In those words,
"……."
Zeus' hand stood tall and stopped..
Masheed accepted it as an extension of the conversation..
"Hwanwoong and Izanagi met at ‘Baekrokdam’ this morning.."
Baeknokdam.
It is a sacred place where a huge source of magical power flows, and at the same time, it is a conference hall where hundreds of gods can gather..
"That's funny. Are you saying that it was such a big deal that those two bastards got together??"
"Not two. Hundreds of gods centered around those two gathered together. Of course, it may seem insufficient compared to Olympus' power, but it is also an undeniable fact that it is a burden.."
The relatively weak Asian deities were building a huge union..
It means that we will not be defeated in individual strength, but we will not be defeated in quantity..
It was the first time Zeus had heard of hundreds of gods gathering in secret..
Moreover, the problem does not end here.
"If this happens, forces in the late 40s will soon move as well. They will also see this conflict as an opportunity. In particular, I heard that the lizards that are trying to devour the entire stairs have even found their apostle this time.."
Dragons occupying the 46th floor of the tower.
49Aside from the floor, there was no guarantee that the 47th and 48th floors would also remain still..
"This incident became a catalyst... … Are you saying you threw it away??"
"you're right. A second war is about to break out after the First World War.."
Variables and variables came together to create a fuse..
"So, shouldn’t we form a strong alliance and watch each other’s backs??"
"……Go back and bring back the demon king level. Let's talk about it.."
Zeus made a decision.
For the hegemony of the tower.
A huge war cloud began to swirl around again..
＊＊＊
It took less than two hours for Jinhyuk to meet the master of the thieves guild..
'It was thanks to steadily contacting the superiors using the ‘bast face sphere’..
"Oh no, that's ridiculous……."
O'Brim Venta.
30He, who had been a master of the thieves guild for years, had to feel that all of his common sense was collapsing..
Jinhyeok, who had disguised himself as his subordinate just a moment ago, was shocked..
'Only dragons can 'polymorph'.
However, there was no sense of discomfort in the sight of seeing a colleague I had known for 30 years..
The disguise was that perfect..
Jinhyuk threw his bushy bearded face to the floor..
"A pyramid scheme may be good at keeping secrets, but... … There are blind spots like this. I'll be using your face like this soon too.."
Even if the Master gets hit, the fact itself does not spread..
The best thing is that as long as you maintain the shell, you can control the entire guild at will..
"Wow! These rotten guys!"
Of course, Benta, who had everything taken away from him, couldn't stay still..
As a master of a guild, Venta drew a pair of daggers and moved his body dizzyingly..
So fast that it's hard to see with the eye.
However, Cheon Yu-seong, who was waiting next to him, was reading Benta’s movements perfectly..
At the moment the leg lands…….
Suddenly!
Cheon Yoo-seong's sword cut between two tracks..
"……big… … 100 million?"
With that, everything in the Thieves Guild fell completely into Jinhyuk's hands..
"What are you going to do now??"
Cheon Yu-seong brushed off the blood from his sword and asked Jin-hyuk..
"We need to disrupt the information and save Teresa in the meantime.."
Since you've taken advantage of the thieves guild with the most information, you don't have to worry about the rest of them getting involved..
Only one.
'It will be difficult to avoid the connection between the Church of the Dead and sloth..'
Although it took a long time, the sloth had the ability to track down its prey once it had caught it..
The special ability lasts approximately 6 hours..
It's exactly midnight.
'Is there about 3 hours left now?…….'
You have to hurry to reach the gray forest.
"Frey. Tell Master and Abraham where we are going."
"huh… … . I will do that."
"Yooseong-ah. You're leaving right away with me."
"Yeah, I understand.."
Everyone moved towards their respective places..
＊＊＊
gray forest.
This is an area where the sun does not shine due to the lush environment..
"shit……."
Faden sighed deeply..
They came here confidently declaring that they would conquer the 20th floor, but the raiding party was attacked by fanatics and was reduced to rags..
I don't know where things went wrong.
In the beginning, it was nice to be able to secure the access roads and bases..
After all, was it a mistake to forcefully try to enter the mine??
Or, is it a failure that we were unable to recruit stronger rankers??
'I thought it wouldn't be easy, but I never thought I'd be crushed even though I put all my effort into it..'
If the 20th floor is this strong, how strong is the 30th floor??
The fear of the Tower of Trials once again struck me..
But the important thing now is not to pick up water that has already been spilled..
I have to think about getting out of here alive right now..
Payden looked around..
There are a total of seventeen survivors..
Only the strongest among the raiders, including Teresa, survived..
'The only ones that are okay are Teresa and I..'
The rest were so depleted of magic and stamina that it seemed difficult to even hold their own..
right then.
"Mr. Paydon."
Teresa, who had been diligently caring for the injured, approached..
"……yes. Tell me."
"First, we mainly treated those in urgent need. However, I also lacked magical power, so all I could do was take emergency measures.."
"Thank you for your hard work. Well, now we have to start again.."
Faden took up his weapon..
I took a quick breather, so I have to quickly pass through this forest and get out on the other side..
This is because the insect-type monsters that thrived due to the high humidity were aiming to attack at this very moment..
"yes? Are you leaving? However, the injured people have not yet recovered enough to move. I need to rest for at least a few more hours……."
Teresa, who was speaking, flinched when she saw Paydon's expression..
There was not a trace of sympathy for his colleague visible from his cold, stiff expression..
"Are you really saying that you are going to throw away all these people??"
"It means that those who will live must live. furthermore. In order to climb to the top in the future, isn't it necessary to be an outstanding person, not a weak person? Even for the future of humanity.."
It's the future of humanity?
Teresa clenched her fists..
My fingernails dug into my palms, but I didn't feel any pain..
"……I don't want to bury this incident.?"
They probably didn't want it to be known that the reason the raid failed was because of the guild's desire to monopolize magicite rather than for the sake of humanity..
okay.
Faden just wants to avoid all this responsibility..
For that to happen, all witnesses must disappear..
"Think whatever you want. If you don't go and stay, I won't stop you.."
Without hesitation, Faden turned his back and disappeared towards the other side of the forest..
OK.
"Kieeee!"
"keeeee!"
As if he had been waiting. Insects that were hiding began to appear one by one..
Now that the most troublesome prey has left the rest on their own, it's time for the real hunting to begin..
"Te, Ms. Teresa! Monsters are coming!"
"Where on earth is the engineering captain??"
The abandoned engineering team urgently looked for Teresa and Payden..
'I can't abandon these people.'
No matter how plausible the justification, I had no intention of continuing my life with the blood of my colleagues..
Even if,
Even if the result of that choice is your own death.
[Unique Abilities…….]
Warm starlight came down from the sky.
The faint light created by squeezing out insufficient magical energy melted along with Teresa's blonde hair..
['‘Star’s Protection’ is activated!]
The saint drew out her sword and shield..
Standing at the front as if covering everyone.
