I'm a max level newbie - Chapter 483
483fury. Inside the Vatican (1)
I have already experienced it once that ordinary objects become sacred relics due to magical power..
But this time is a little different..
Because the magic coming from the tower is completely contaminated..
‘What combination of three should I choose to have any chance?.’
Jinhyuk walked down a richly decorated hallway..
You can see numerous relics brought in from the Louvre, including swords, knives, and bows..
These must have been prepared in advance by the Vatican in preparation for this incident..
“contractor. Jim likes this..”
Ellis pointed to the jewel in the glass tube..
In the past, this was a ruby that was prized by Louis.
As Ellis, who likes rare things, she was bound to have a desire to collect them..
“I know you're not here for leisurely shopping.?”
“Everything is natural. Jim just thought that gem would really help our team.."
You're lying..
Just by looking at it, the jewels are moving back and forth in the eyes..
The drool flowing from the mouth was also clear evidence..
“What about Teresa??”
“hmm. I think this would be good.”
Teresa pointed out a torture device used in the Middle Ages.
This again, something unusual came out..
‘iron maiden’.
He's a bloody guy whose whole body is covered in holes once he gets inside..
“That's surprising. It seems too extreme for Teresa to choose..”
“I find the magical power felt here a bit interesting. like… … It feels like divine power is alive and breathing… … I guess it feels like that..”
The divine power is alive and breathing..
The expression is pretty funny.
However, Iron Maiden is definitely not a bad option..
The special effects with certain CC attached are quite troublesome to deal with..
Because there were strong restrictions, not everyone could handle it..
‘Then I…….’
Lastly, Jinhyuk looked through the display cases..
One of the things I am watching with interest are the paintings hanging here..
Each picture has special abilities, and depending on which picture it is, the abilities are completely different..
But that was right then..
“Oh oh oh……!”
A deafening roar was heard from beyond the dark passage..
I got goosebumps all over my body..
sreung!
Cheolkeong!
Teresa and Ellis reflexively took out their weapons..
In contrast to the red skewer, the golden sword burned intensely..
thud! thud! thud!
What appeared along the passage was a giant dinosaur fossil..
Red flames flashed along the empty pupils..
“Crrrrr…….”
The strongest predator that dominated the Cretaceous period.
It's a tyrannosaurus.
It has a body so large that it fills the hallway, with many black tentacles sticking out from between the bones..
At a glance, it looks like it was influenced by the Necronomicon..
There must be someone who chose the fossil as a relic..
“I'll stop it!”
Teresa took the lead with her divine power raised..
“Wow!”
Tyrannosaurus ran at full speed.
The distance narrowed in an instant.
The huge maw collided head-on with Teresa's shield..
Kwaaaaang!
A tremendous roar rang out..
The ground was hollowed out along the path that the Tyrannosaurus had taken, and the entire wall was stained black due to the tentacles..
“Big…….”
However, Teresa only frowned a little and did not move away at all..
It's not because of the unique divine power..
[The relic ‘Iron Maiden’ is activated.!]
[The effectiveness of abilities increases due to the sensitivity of the chosen one.!]
the power to bind an object.
The body of the Tyrannosaurus began to slowly collapse into translucent spines..
Quad Deuk! Crackling!
I twisted my whole body, but once I was restrained, it wasn't easy to escape..
As red blood flowed from Iron Maiden's eyes, the pressure became even stronger.
.The sharp thorns cut into the bones mercilessly..
“Oh oh oh!”
In the end, the Tyrannosaurus' body was completely destroyed with a cruel death..
“Oh my god…….”
An exclamation of admiration flowed from Teresa's mouth..
Because I couldn't believe that such a powerful relic existed outside the tower..
“Oooh. That's why I told you to choose carefully. I'll choose something different for luggage too. It's big, powerful, and worthy of being a piece of luggage.!”
Ellis looked at the new object with sparkling eyes..
“Too bad, once you choose, you can't change it again..”
“what? No, shouldn't such an important story be told in advance?!”
“My eyes are already glued to the jewel, so no matter what I say, will it have any effect? And that gem might suit you surprisingly well.”
Being attracted unconsciously means that the compatibility is good..
It is wiser to follow what your instincts tell you than to use your brain for no reason..
In the same way, now is the time to make a choice..
Jeopuk.
Jinhyuk's steps stopped in front of a painting..
Even if you are not interested in art, you have probably heard of it at least once..
[Would you like to choose Munch's 'The Scream'??]
A drawing of a man who looks like he has truly lost his country..
this is the best.
‘The fact that the selection window appears means that no one in the Vatican has chosen this yet..’
Well, in a place overflowing with all kinds of weapons, armor, fossils and statues, there is no way anyone would be interested in paintings..
Unless you know the exact value of the item..
“I'll choose.”
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up..
Now is the time to explore the Vatican in earnest..
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
The Vatican's dungeons. 'Catacombs‘.
This place, known only to cardinals among those affiliated with the Vatican, is a place that is completely far from modern law..
Normally this dungeon should be empty, but today it felt quite crowded..
“They said there was an intruder in the memorial..”
Under the dim candlelight, I heard a man's deep voice..
“Besides these guys??”
The second voice was full of worry..
Just recently, some rankers from Korea infiltrated deep inside..
Some have been captured and locked up, but two are still missing..
In the meantime, new intruders have appeared again, so of course it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable..
‘It's my brother.’
‘brother…….’
Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who were locked in prison, bit their lips..
“So who is it? Those intruders?”
“This is Kang Jin-hyuk, Ellis, and Teresa from Goinmul Corporation..”
“……As expected, since I lost contact with my colleagues, I'm moving on my own..”
“Anyone else may not know, but Kang Jin-hyuk is not easy to mess with. It's so famous, and regardless, it's so strong that it's hard to handle. It would be better to appease and compromise to some extent.…….”
A monster that cannot be arbitrarily interfered with by not only large guilds around the world but also the public authorities of powerful countries..
The gathering of such powerful people is the current Goinmul Corporation..
Although the intruders who came in a little while ago were also famous rankers known to the intelligence department, Kang Jin-hyuk's fundamentals must have been completely different..
Even if it was the Vatican, it couldn't be easily touched..
“Cardinal Troccia.”
“yes. Please speak. Cardinal Leitman.”
“We have a great mission. Don't you know better how hard it was to find this sacred relic commanded by the angels??”
“Of course, I remember it all clearly..”
fountain pen lying on the table.
I don't know the exact identity, but the moment the engraving on this fountain pen was unlocked, a tremendous amount of magical energy flowed throughout the Vatican..
The items inside were turned into relics just as they were when the tower first appeared. Many of them were recognized for their status and came to have powers similar to those of holy relics..
Grace that only the chosen can obtain.
Laitman had no intention of giving up this sacred privilege..
“I guess they came here to steal this. Of course, I plan to protect this at all costs. How can you say you serve God if you bend your beliefs to those self-serving apostates??”
“That is correct. I lost my temper for a moment and made a mistake..”
“It's okay. As you said, you're messing with a beehive, so you need to be careful..”
Reitman nodded and this time called a middle-aged knight wearing white armor..
“Commander of the Knights Alfonso. How many paladins are currently inside the Vatican who have completed their second awakening??”
“26Since we are attacking the ghost's mansion, about 70% of the knights are absent. Therefore, there are about 20 paladins in charge of internal security, including myself..”
“Twenty people…….”
There aren't enough numbers to stop those monsters..
However, there are two variables here..
1The variable called catacombs has completely changed due to the relics and magic that can only be selected per person..
‘We've already secured the best ones.’
Moreover, thanks to the grace of God, the abilities of each relic have been greatly improved, so the starting point itself is incomparable..
‘If I also use the relics I chose,…….’
1The relic boasts the strongest among 18,253 items..
Leitman stroked his chin with his finger..
“Let's start rabbit hunting. Deploy the paladins. I'll report this to the angel again.”
“All right.”
“yes.”
Troccia and Alfonso nodded..
“Oh, and don't neglect to capture Yoo Cheon-young and that red-haired woman. If I happen to join Kang Jin-hyuk, it will be a pain in the ass..”
Leitman added a word:.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
“It really crawls endlessly..”
“I feel like I've entered some kind of large labyrinth..”
Ellis and Teresa caught their breath..
A fierce battle that has already lasted over 3 hours.
Nevertheless, the number of enemies coming showed no sign of disappearing..
Jinhyuk brushed off the bone dust from the dagger..
‘Fountain pen… … I guess I got my hands on it. I think I learned the most basic things about how to use it..’
Not only are there fossils of various dinosaurs, but we also had a fight with a saber tiger and a mammoth a little while ago..
And all of them are infected with tentacles..
‘It doesn't make sense for Nyarlathotep to stick with Eden... … How on earth did they boil the Vatican bastards??’
Was there another variable involved??
Or, among the angels, there is one who got stuck on the 50th floor..
Or maybe one of the senior managers who hasn't made a move yet has intervened..
There were many possibilities, but it was all just speculation..
To be sure, you'll have to dig a little deeper..
“contractor. So, what are you going to do now? We can't keep fighting these artifacts. that… … What is it? There is something you must find here.?”
“Saving Yeonhwa and her group comes first. There will be a hidden staircase leading to the dungeon, so let's look for it first..”
“Mr. Jinhyuk…….”
“You cared about your colleagues. contractor.”
Teresa and Ellis opened their eyes wide..
……hmm.
If you have a fountain pen at this time, you shouldn't say it's hidden somewhere in the catacombs..
I think I was strangely moved, but there's no need to break it..
“Hehehe.”
Jinhyuk pulled out a sweet potato from subspace with a solemn expression..
“mosquito?”
“It's exorcism. From now on, look for a place on the floor that smells different. Understand?”
“mosquito!”
To others, it seemed like he was trying his best to save a colleague who might be in danger as quickly as possible, even for every second..
