I'm a max level newbie - Chapter 384
384fury. spring water of the sun (4)
- Ellis. Well then, I’ll trust you and leave it to you. You can accept whatever the outcome is. So don't be too burdened. Understand?
okay.
The contractor trusted me and left it to me..
They say it doesn't matter whether you succeed or fail.
But you can't break that belief from the beginning..
"……."
Ellis clenched his fists..
The risk has risen to the point where it cannot be compared to what was previously decided.…….
"I will do that."
Even if I die, I will never say the word ‘give up’..
"great. Well, the rest of you, please wait here. It won't take long."
Belus and Ophelia immediately reacted to Hatoel's words..
"Are you sure it's okay? It may be a trap."
"I agree. Anyway, they are the ones who changed the plan on their own. We have enough to say when we go back.."
"You guys just wait for me to come. This is my order as the head of the family.."
"……All right. Lord, Lord."
"If you decide that way, you have no choice but to follow it... … There isn't any. Go back safely. Because I don't want to lose her matriarch twice.."
Ellis followed Hatoel..
Cheolkeong!
Instead of the main door, a side door hidden among golden leaves was opened..
This was a measure to prevent Ellis' existence from being exposed to other angels..
"Hoo."
Ellis came inside and looked around..
The sanctuary itself, where countless angels gather, was a spectacle in itself..
The sacred and splendid buildings and the thousands of troops guarding them were worthy of being called the strongest..
However, what stimulates the senses the most is…….
As expected, it was the magic flowing from a small house located in the corner of an alley..
Jeez! Jerk off!
A stinging sensation transmitted through the skin.
You don't have to ask Hatoel to know..
There's a Gabriel in there.
"It's not there?"
"yes. You are waiting. Let's go first. I will check around and then follow you in.."
"okay."
Alice went into the house..
Inside the small room, a brightly smiling archangel was sipping tea..
"……They don't treat guests well. I thought they would at least put away that unpleasant sacred power and wait.."
"Hehehe. I'm sorry about this. I wrote that I care, because instinct is unavoidable. If you're the head of Ataraxia, which once wiped out our clan, shouldn't you be even more careful??"
"No matter what, you say so.."
Ellis let out a cold sigh and took out a letter from her pocket..
"This is a letter from the contractor. They say there's a clue written inside it to see if it's the book you've been looking for so much.."
"……!"
Gabrielle's face changed in an instant..
The bright expression is gone, and only greed and instinct are shining in the eyes..
Now that the clue to the treasure I've been looking for for a long time has come before my eyes, my composure is bound to be shaken..
"ah! Get those dirty hands away. First, you probably have something to give too.?"
widely!
Ellis mercilessly slapped Gabriel's outstretched hand away..
"……This is the information that player Jinhyuk Kang would like to know. Memories of Hasting's past are recorded.."
Gabriel placed the blue gem on the table..
'Stone with memories'.
It is a special item that can be played only once..
With this, the exchange items desired by the two forces were gathered in one place..
[Gabriel is Lv?? Activates ‘Horizontal Balance’!]
Above Gabriel and Ellis' heads, a golden scale appeared..
There is a sealed letter on one side of the scale. And in another place, a ‘stone containing memories’ went up..
Sacred scales that determine the authenticity of each other and compare their values.
If you use this skill, there is no room for any corruption in transactions..
In reality, the two pieces of information had similar levels of value..
'A clue to the Necronomicon... … I guess that means it's only a part of it..'
Gabriel nodded as if he had expected it..
If it had been a perfect clue, it would have been even stranger..
Still, now that we have been able to escape from a deadlock in which we had no clue, there is much more to be done..
right then.
"However, I told you to tell me this too.."
Ellis added a word.
"What to say?"
"Thanks to Kizakiel's rampage in the giants' fortress, the damage was quite significant. I wish they would add compensation for that.."
"that… … ! Kizakiel is a fallen angel who was expelled from our side before this incident occurred. But how can you hold us responsible for that??"
"Oh, I don't know. I'm just conveying what the contractor told me to convey. Or, what? Should I just throw this deal away? I guess it would only hurt my mouth to say who suffered the loss.?"
Ellis pretended to tear the letter..
"Now, wait a minute.!"
It was Gabriel who became urgent..
"As for compensation... … What are you talking about??"
"Hmm. Nothing special. They just say that they will restore everything that destroyed our fortress and provide support until it becomes a large base.?"
"big… … Brother, do you think it makes sense to call it a base??"
"ok."
Don't be.
The corners of Ellis' mouth turned up..
-Always push hard. Just like my usual personality. Well, it all works. Because what’s urgent is Eden..
I already gained confidence through Jinhyuk..
All that's left is to keep putting pressure on your opponent.
Popping.
An eerie sound came from Gabriel's mouth..
"……All right. Let's add that contract as well.."
Tilted.
The scales tilted sharply to one side.
It was an unfair contract no matter who looked at it, but Gabrielle had no choice but to cry and accept the offer..
"good. This is it.."
Ellis stood up as if there was nothing more to see..
But, at that very moment.
Ugh!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
A powerful magical power began to surge along the castle walls..
A warning sound reminiscent of a siren also shook the entire Eden..
"I guess they noticed an intruder coming in.."
"you……."
"This really wasn't intentional. As Hatoel may have already said, internal problems have grown on our side as well.."
Gabriel shrugged..
"But don't worry too much. If the fact that we made a contract with vampires spreads, we would also be in trouble. Hatoel."
"yes."
"Please get Alice out of Eden safely.."
"All right. If you're quick, you might be able to find a secret passageway that isn't blocked yet.."
"Sheesh! I can't do it."
Ellis quickly tried to leave..
"Oh, I almost forgot to give you this.."
Gabriel handed me a red apple..
Not an ordinary apple.
Even at a glance, this thing has an unusual energy.…….
The tree of knowledge of good and evil. Or First Apple.
Although it has many different meanings, it was one of the top special items symbolizing Eden..
"This... … Give it to me?"
"When you are alone with your loved one. If you feed him this apple, you will be able to make him yours.."
binding force with absolute judgment.
If this is…….
Jinhyuk will definitely come over too..
"Of course, you can't just have one, but I'm giving it to you as a test to see how effective it is.."
"Do you think I would use such a mean method? I can make him fall in love with me with just my strength.!"
"Hmm. Even just saying that makes your eyes shake? Why am I drooling and breathing heavily??"
"When do I!"
"Hehehe. anyway. I look forward to seeing you again. As the matriarch of Ataraxia.."
Gabriel smiled and said goodbye..
＊＊＊
Kwaaang!
bang! bang! bang!
The black bridge smashed the rocks mercilessly..
"shit! what… … This is so outrageous... … The octopus... … Are you saying there is?!"
Cheon Yu-seong moved his body like crazy to avoid the attack..
The words are octopus, it's almost like a machine gun rush.
Even though I was moving with all my might, it wasn't easy to avoid..
"How long are you going to keep those damn fish traps up??"
"wait. If you step forward with confidence, you will be brutally murdered... … . I lasted 15 minutes against that guy before.."
"under! Only 15 minutes? If you take 15 minutes, I can take 30 minutes.."
"30minute… … Is this possible against that monster? Nonsense. That would be impossible?"
Jinhyuk stuttered with a surprised expression..
"Just wait and see. I'll show you that I'm on a different level from you."
Cuckoo cuckoo!
[Cheon Yu-seong activates his unique ability ‘Sword Song’!]
Cheon Yu-seong squeezed out all his magical power and swung Ryu-hwa..
Kwaaang!
The sword imbued with magic collided head-on with the octopus' leg..
'After all, prideful people and idiots are easy to deal with..'
Among them, the easiest to deal with is a self-respecting fool..
Just like that guy.
Jinhyuk hummed and took out an ironclad shrimp outside the trap..
Unlike other shrimp, the claws are slightly more curved and larger..
This guy is the key to enter the labyrinth..
And I already got the key, but the reason why Cheon Yu-seong is acting like that is…….
This is because there was not enough food in the labyrinth to taste good..
'There's so much delicious ingredients out there, there's no need to go inside and eat crap..'
Let's see…….
That guy over there has black lines on his back, so it looks like he has a lot of sweetness..
That guy must be particularly greasy because he hasn't finished laying eggs yet..
While Cheon Yu-seong was fighting for his life, Jin-hyuk selected the 7 most delicious armored shrimp and stored them in his subspace inventory..
next…….
Jinhyuk’s eyes turned toward the inside of the valley..
The puddle that appears to be the deepest.
There is an entrance to the labyrinth below the floor..
"You can stop dealing with me now! Come here quickly!"
Chinhyuk shouted and jumped into the water..
In an instant, the cold water engulfed my entire body..
The cold was so severe that even my head was frozen, but my mind was surprisingly intact..
Jinhyuk was accustomed to swimming..
down.
Until we reach the bottom of the valley.
I saw an eagle owl and Cheon Yu-seong following right behind me..
The giant legs of the octopus.
We have to hurry..
I don't know anything else, but if you encountered that giant octopus in the water, it could be really dangerous..
Pog purr!
Cheon Yu-seong’s mouth opened violently..
Pointing to the suckers following right behind.
Damn it. I know. If you don't open the door right away, you'll be in big trouble..
'The claws… … Insert it into the gap and turn it clockwise 23 degrees.…….'
Clap!
I knew it.
When it comes to fitting the key correctly, I've already done it so many times that it's frustrating..
[Labyrinth 'Valley of Eternity - Where the Sun Cannot Reach' is now open!]
The bottom of the valley opens up. A bright light came out.
At the same time, everyone's vision turned white..
＊＊＊
"Cough! Cough!"
"Phew… … It was close.."
I succeeded in entering the labyrinth by one margin..
If we were even a little late, Cheon Yu-seong would have ended up as octopus meal..
but. There is no bird that can be at ease.
This is the most vicious labyrinth on the 23rd floor..
From now on, you have to think that everything in here is a trap aimed at you..
'However, no matter how much you increase the difficulty, you can still conquer it if you know the basic strategy..'
Jinhyuk patted the moisture off his body..
however.
"I guess you think we've upped the difficulty level.……."
The silent eagle owl opened its mouth..
"I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding there.."
"What does that mean??"
"It is true that this is no ordinary labyrinth. However, it was not we who made this place foreign.……."
Cheolkeong!
Cooung!
Monsters with their entire bodies covered in strange shells appeared one by one..
"I'm saying it's because of that guy I was talking about.."
"Damn it. When... … ! Jinhyuk Kang!"
Cheon Yu-seong shouted..
