I'm a max level newbie - episode 660
660fury. Shadow Sapling Without an Owner (1)
Azathoth's palace was full of strange things, but the most unusual and dangerous thing among them was the 'unclaimed shadow sapling'..
A type of sleeping potion that can put Azathoth, who possesses absurd power, to sleep. At the same time, it is a raw material that supplies powerful magical power to ancient beings..
That was the power of the sapling.
but….
What makes these seedlings truly dangerous is that the area around them becomes polluted rapidly..
It's not just about destroying the land or nature, it's about destroying people, animals, or….
'It is possible to corrupt even high-level divine beasts and gods..'
A shadow fell on Jinhyuk’s face..
If what they said was true, it meant that this canyon would soon fall under the influence of saplings..
Unless your resistance to mental abilities is abnormally high, it will be impossible to endure..
“It's fun.”
It is true that it is definitely a dangerous situation. However, it was also an opportunity to secure seedlings that are not easily found..
“Please return our king, who has always been wise and merciful. Please.”
“Now there is no one to trust or rely on. except you.”
“that's right.”
The spirit beasts gathered around Jinhyeok. I found it quite cute to see the whining of the little ones, who had a slightly different appearance from the existing Spirit Special Forces..
“okay. First of all, I'll bring my kids, so can you at least help them escape the night dew? I'm fine, but I'm worried that the spirit beasts and girls might catch a cold..”
Jinhyuk looked at a place a little distance away with pitiful eyes..
There were Ellis and Behemoth trembling..
The undine in my arms was also shaking violently. The gnome was barely sheltering from the wind and rain with a small pile of dirt..
“huh! Our village is just a little further from here..”
Salamander happily invited me to the village..
[Affinity with spirits increases by +10!]
Typically, an invitation to one's home is a typical way to express intimacy..
It was a shining moment when I deliberately made my bed as simple as possible without turning on the stove..
'I was planning on using all my camping gear when I went to bed after my watch, so that's a good thing. Because the timing is right.'
Jinhyuk once again praised himself for his perfection..
***
A while later, the group of people from the Stagwater Corporation woke up and arrived at the village where the spirit beasts live..
A spirit that does not easily reveal itself to humans..
A village where hundreds or thousands of such rare natural beings gathered together was truly a huge shock..
5Because the spirits of the great elements, as well as various divine beasts and phantom beasts, were living in harmony..
“There is a place like this….”
Pesis looked around with the most surprised look on his face..
2Although I explored every corner of the canyon for months, I never found a village inhabited by spirits on such a large scale..
No, I never even guessed that something like this existed..
'What is this person really doing?.'
Pesis's pupils trembled slightly as he looked at Jinhyeok..
To spend a lifetime exploring hidden areas and have the honor of being the first to reach the end. I gave everything for just that one thing..
I was confident that I had talent, effort, and passion... . Jinhyuk in front of me was far surpassing that..
Even Jinhyeok is a combat class that specializes in combat, not exploration.?
'I knew he was not an ordinary person from the first time I met him in the Empire, but... The more you know, the more amazing he is..'
And because a player of such great talent was with him, he was able to come to the village of spirit beasts..
Gratitude and respect naturally flowed out..
Cheon Yu-seong and Ellis also looked at the spirit beasts with a mixture of caution and curiosity with an interesting look on their faces..
right then.
“Ukura, you stupid fire lizard! Why did you bring humans to our sacred village?!”
An older spirit beast who looked like an elder came running towards me, brandishing a staff..
It was a spirit of light with half its head bald..
Then the chubby Salamander, who had been leading the way just a moment ago, was startled and hid behind Jinhyeok..
“Instead of just trying to hit me, listen to me. This person is also friendly with spirits.!”
“what?”
The elder, who was about to blow the pot with his stick, stopped..
Ukura let out a small sigh of relief and puffed out his shoulders..
“Did you see it? I'm not stupid….”
Taaak!
“Wow!”
Ukura rolled around on the spot, holding his head..
“What does it mean to be friendly with spirit beasts? How do you know that this person turns those spirit beasts into slaves, uses them whenever he needs them, and keeps them captive like slaves on a regular basis? I have lived for a long time, so I know that that bastard uses everything around him except himself and extracts sweet water... He has a very devil-like face..”
The elder's staff was pointed at Jinhyeok..
Hmm.
You're strangely insightful..
It hit the truth so accurately that I was at a loss for words for a moment. Even the chance to make an excuse disappeared because everyone around me was nodding in agreement..
then….
“I'm not saying I'm just going to stay for free. I know a way to purify the sapling's curse, but how would this make the story any different??”
Now I have no choice but to go with the regular method..
At one word from Jinhyuk, the noisy surroundings became quiet as if cold water had been poured on them..
That too for a while. The elder raised his voice once again..
“It's a lie! There's no way that's possible!”
“okay. By what means…!”
“How are you going to purify the curse when you haven't even seen the Spirit King's condition in person??”
It seems like it would be useless to talk about it every day..
Jinhyuk activated a skill instead of speaking..
'When 'Tail of Plague' was activated, ominous purple-colored magic flowed out. At the same time, the power of ‘Seraphim’ was revealed on the other side..
Ugh!
When light and darkness collide, a gray reaction occurs in the middle..
I wasn't sure, but some sort of neutralization was taking place..
“Unbelievable….”
The elder’s mouth opened wide..
The eyes were so shocked that they seemed like they would pop out at any moment..
“This is just a preview, but the energy coming from a real sapling will be much stronger and more extensive. Of course, it won't be easy to purify it alone. so… You have to find one item.”
“A fragment of light??”
“Did you know?”
“This is something we have been looking for for several months for purification. Of course, it hasn't been successful yet..”
shards of light.
Only ores that contained and contained the purest light were eligible to receive the name ‘fragment of light.’.
I have tried to become a fragment of light with numerous gems, including diamonds and meteorites, but there has never been an item that has achieved that qualification..
The fact that even the spirit beasts tried hard to find it but failed means that it is not easy to secure pure light to put a gem that can be used as a vessel..
“we'll find it.”
“Even we who have lived in this canyon have not been able to find it. An outsider who appeared out of nowhere... Is it even possible for a human being to find it??”
This old man has been ignoring people ever since..
Even though they were a race that lived in a canyon and isolated from the world, racial discrimination was embedded in their DNA..
If it weren't for the condition of increasing intimacy, I would have pulled out all the small, precious hair that was left..
Jinhyuk tried to calm his itchy fingers..
“Well then, shall we make a bet? Whoever finds the shard of light first within the next 48 hours will be granted a wish of any kind? Oh, if you're scared, of course you can say you can't do it right now..”
“……Are you going to regret that? We've also selected one or two places with high potential..”
“Well, let's take it as a bet..”
When a confrontation between two races is about to take place.
“Wait a minute, that wish right. Does this apply to us too??”
Cheon Yu-seong, who was next to him, intervened..
Two burning eyes.
This leech-like guy seems to have skyrocketed in confidence just because he got a new weapon. Because the heat of trying to attack me right away was enough to sting my skin..
“Haha, my wish came true. This time, I will help you..”
Pesis also clenched his fist..
“Right to wish. huh… not bad.”
“If I find it, it will set me free.?”
Frey and Behemoth's eyes twinkled with different meanings..
finally….
“With the contractor... It's the right to wish?”
Ellis's expression, which had always been in an indifferent attitude, changed 180 degrees..
Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo!
A terrifying madness surged..
The eyes that had lost half of their reason were filled with only obsession for the product..
['‘Jinjo’s Treasure’ is now open!]
“On which side is the fragment or Nabal buried??”
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a mountain, a field, or a canyon..
If the area itself is destroyed, the fragments inside will pop out..
If that didn't work, I was planning on getting what I wanted, even if it meant overturning the stairs themselves..
“……something is wrong.”
The elder was a little late in realizing that things were going strangely. They recognized that if they made a mistake, their old home could disappear..
But it's already too late.
The die has been cast. Now the situation has arrived where we need to secure the fragments, whether we are killed or eaten..
“start.”
The search for hidden fragments began with the sound of Jinhyeok’s laughter..
* * *
['You have entered ‘Yodeleam Canyon’.]
The gate opened and many people appeared..
Sharply trained magic power and body.
The spirit of a hunter built up through hardships and hardships came out without any filtering..
“You've come to a strange place.”
“I know. I'm so busy conquering the late 30s, I never thought I'd come back to such an awkward floor..”
“Understand. Since they are low-skilled people, they are probably trying to pick up the beans here..”
“Do it. Because not everyone can conquer the stairs. Moreover, this canyon is a ruin that has been concluded to have no value in terms of rewards or quests..”
Men and women holding various types of weapons said one thing at a time..
Unlike the battlefield where you have to risk your life, most of the early 30th floor has been conquered. Not only was the relationship with the residents amicable, but there was no reason to be very wary, except for a few labyrinths and ruins..
“Is it okay to secure the target right away??”
“Among them, there are some whose identity is unknown. There is no reason to approach hastily because of the client's temperament..”
A man of great stature carefully scanned the target's profile..
'jack eden'.
He led a small mercenary unit called 'Swingbat' and accomplished tasks that were considered impossible..
Among them, there were impregnable ruins and there were also S-class players who committed mass murder..
The success rate is amazing 100%.
This was possible because I trusted my intuition and instincts developed in the field rather than a tightly planned strategy. Of course, I was planning on accomplishing my goal this time too..
however.
'Strange.'
The name is Jinhyuk Kang..
It was definitely the first time I'd heard this name, but somehow it didn't feel unfamiliar..
I felt a strong instinctive resistance and at the same time had no idea how to approach it..
This is definitely the first time something like this has happened since the beginning..
“I didn't know Eden could be this careful. Or was the reputation too exaggerated??”
“Why is it so great to be so cautious about hunting down college students with a few brats? look scared.”
“If you're worried, leave it to us..”
The rankers assigned separately by Seo Jeong-hee were terrible..
“These kids are telling the boss….”
“Where are you talking nonsense about being scared?!”
The mercenaries belonging to Swingbat growled..
As the atmosphere began to get heated, Eden slowly opened his mouth..
“Don't forget that I am in charge.”
Living in silence.
As the needle-sharp magic power was released, those who were killing him hesitated and stepped back..
“Sheesh!”
“To be brutal.”
1:1It doesn't work that way. I could tell with my body even without having to fight..
but. However, I had no intention of just following Eden’s orders..
Seo Jeong-hee promised.
Whoever captures Kang Jin-hyuk and Cheon Yu-seong, the top targets, will be rewarded with $30 million in cash, 10 million coins, and one sacred relic of their choice..
With that much bounty, you could change your name 10 times more..
