I'm a full level newbie - Chapter 723
723fury. Tower of Trials, '50th floor free access ticket' (2)
Bubble bubble bogrr…,
Dark green bubbles rose from the rotting swamp..
"Wow!!"
"Kieee!"
Fish and various creatures that I had never seen before preyed on each other, creating a strange magical scene..
right then.
Coo! Coo! Cooung!
Footsteps that shook the earth rang out..
The once noisy swamp was enveloped in silence at that moment..
An overwhelming presence shook the space..
"Grrr…."
A low roar.
100The body was over a meter long and had numerous tentacles..
At the end of each tentacle was a single, flashing eye, which was busy continuously observing its surroundings..
The moment you get caught, it's over..
It was a common thought among all living creatures here..
Fortunately, the giant being did not seem to have much interest in the swamp. I just keep moving forward, chasing the feeling of discomfort..
And when it finally disappeared beyond the fog.
flutter.
"Hehehe…."
Cheongha, whose legs were weakened, sat down..
I hid behind the tree without making a sound, but I felt like every single cell was exposed..
"It was dangerous."
Jinhyuk also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead..
What just passed by is 'Sograntu''.
They are a type of guard that guards the palace of Azathoth..
The combat power of each of those guys is incredible, but the really big problem is that if they are discovered by that guy, the entire palace goes into battle mode..
Of course, even top deities like Shubnigurath and Nyarlathotep will notice the presence of the intruder..
It was no exaggeration to say that his death was confirmed immediately..
"Are you really going to go in there? Even among us, entering the 50th floor is a taboo of taboos.."
"okay? Then I want to stay here alone?"
Jinhyuk grinned..
"Oh oh oh!"
"KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Kwasik! Crack! Quad Deuk!
As soon as Sograntu disappeared, the swamp ecosystem became active once again. Blood and flesh splattered around, eating and being eaten, the sight of the jungle was dyed red..
"……I'll follow you. please let me follow you."
Chungha nodded at an invisible speed..
In the first place, these poor Miao people had no choice..
"From here, we will go into the water and move. Because you can breathe if you hold this in your mouth. Don’t spit or swallow it even if you accidentally, just follow along.."
Jinhyuk handed over a snail shell with three entrances..
['‘Tribune Snail’ and ‘Dark Valley Moss’. 'Lungs of Atrapas fish' are fused!]
A trait that changes not only breathing but also presence into a swamp creature..
This effect only appeared when these three things were combined at the same time..
I didn't want to go into the murky, heavy swamp, but it was still better than dying. Cheongha followed Jinhyuk into the water..
The creatures in the swamp immediately reacted to the being that entered the pyramid of the food chain..
"Oh oh oh!"
north south east west.
A crocodile with a four-pronged mouth catches its prey right away..
A maw the size of a house aimed at Cheongha..
"Whoop whoop!"
Chungha hit the ball with all her might. However, no matter how nimble the Miao was, it could not run away from a crocodile in the water..
It's not an ordinary crocodile, but even more so if it's a crocodile living on the 50th floor..
It was Jinhyuk who came forward instead..
[The unique ability ‘Will of the Sea Current’ is activated.!]
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A strong whirlpool arose in the water..
Jinhyeok's sword shined in the water splitting in all directions..
"Living here is amazing in itself.."
still.
"You need to know who is the predator and who is the prey.."
How can someone who is not a god come out without even understanding the topic??
Kwazizig! Kwajajak!
The swamp crocodile's body was torn apart by the whirlpool..
It was a bonus to make it clear to those in the swamp who was in charge..
The creatures in the swamp put aside their hostility and distanced themselves from Jinhyeok..
"It's so strong…?"
Chungha opened her eyes wide..
At the same time, the way I look at Jinhyuk has changed slightly..

same time.
50Elsewhere on the floor, a new variable was taking place..
Four shadows appeared in a room full of colorful thorns and crystals..
JJ and 2 chickens per person.
eagle owl.
Saeyoung Eonhwan.
They were operators who moved to protect the balance of the tower and correct the world that had gone out of order..
"We're finally here."
1Person 2 Chicken barely managed to fix his stumbling body by casting a recovery spell..
It was a rough road..
So much so that even the operators have to risk their lives..
It is inevitable that this is a place commonly called the ‘Gateway to Infinity’..
To be exact, into the body of ‘Yog-Sothoth’, one of the ancient gods. He was a god, but at the same time he was acting as a gatekeeper..
"You need to get out as quickly as possible. If we stay in here too long, we'll be trapped forever.."
JJ also added a word of help..
A state in which the operator's unique authority, 'system manipulation', has been used to its limit. As soon as you achieve your goal, you will have to head to the exit you have prepared..
The Great Horned Owl and Saeyoung Eonhwan also nodded in agreement..
There is a 'pillar of dimension' somewhere here..
50A hidden piece that can seal the beings of the layer. If we can secure just that, we will have an opportunity to significantly change the future landscape..
There is only about an hour left, so we have to hurry now..
But right then.
"If great operators get their hands on such cheat items, it's not too much of a scam.?"
An unexpected voice intervened..
"……!?"
"……!!"
Operators responded immediately.
The voice that caught me off guard made me widen the distance too much..
I didn't know that..
My body instinctively moved like that due to some inexplicable, sinister energy..
"What kind of guy is this?!"
1Person 2 Chicken swung his whip in the direction from which the voice came..
썣썄죤 죣죣…!
A whip with sharp thorns split the crystal in half..
However, the moment the whip touched the voice, it was blocked by something invisible..
Tuong!
The whip that bounced went back towards chicken 2..
"You start off with an attack without any hesitation. I guess I was quite surprised?"
"you…."
When the man appeared from the shadows, the eagle owl's expression shook greatly..
aka 'man''.
Since there was little known information, it was not possible to identify its identity, but it was an irregularity among irregularities whose status window was completely blocked even to operators..
……A variable that is perhaps more dangerous than Azathoth..
An uncontrolled existence could threaten not only Jinhyeok but also the Tower of Trials itself..
must be stopped.
"It worked out better. Doesn't that mean that Jinhyuk can handle the rest if we just take care of that guy??"
"okay. That guy once crossed Azathoth and reached the top of the tower.."
"I agree. Above all, there will no longer be a stage where we can fight under these conditions.."
There are as many as four operators gathered here..
In addition, I brought the appropriate relics and hidden pieces in case I fight against high-ranking ancient gods..
No matter how much your opponent is a monster who leads hostile operators, you won't be able to deal with them all..
sreung!
chuck!
Ugh!
Various weapons appeared through subspace..
They were all top-quality relics, corresponding to the purple grade..
"Are you going to start right away without even talking? It feels like the final stage. It's not too bleak?"
the man shrugged his shoulders.
Even though the four operators were openly showing hostility, there was no sign of any tension..
"Talk…."
Saeyoung Eonhwan repeated those words..
"So, can you tell me what your identity is??"
"It catches you right from the beginning. It's not like you're trying to see the last hidden card without anything.?"
Questions and answers cannot come without a price..
It is said that to get one you have to give one away..
Saeyoung Eonhwan’s mind moved quickly..
If only I could find out about the man's identity. No, if I could get even the slightest hint….
It could have had more meaning than securing the hidden piece here..
"What do I have to pay??"
"Umm. Well, if that's the case, wouldn't they have to come up with something quite expensive? For example… . Ellis or something."
"Ataraxia’s… The head of the family?"
"huh. Personally, it's my preference. I really want to add it to my collection.."
"This is a request that is difficult for us to grant. Because she is a colleague that Jinhyuk cherishes.."
Saeyoung Eonhwan shook his head as if he was troubled..
"Too bad. Negotiations broke down."
The man clicked his tongue briefly..
At first glance, it seemed like there was nothing to be gained from the question and answer, but Saeyoung Eon-hwan had a different idea..
'Are you saying that Ellis is the key?.'
The man seemed to control everything as he wanted, but there was something even for him that he couldn't get his hands on yet..
Alice von Ataraxia.
Perhaps it will play a much more important role than simply being a powerful Jinjo..
Saeyoung Eonhwan continued..
"Unfortunately, the same goes for this one. Well, from now on, I'm just going to talk to myself, so can you just listen??"
"Are you going to judge me based on my reaction? That would be fun too. give it a try."
"At first, I thought you were Unknown’s data. Because there was nothing else that could have made this possible.."
but. It's not unknown.
The data that conquered the top of the tower in the past has already been destroyed by Jinhyeok's hands..
then….
The number of possible cases is further narrowed..
Approaching Jinhyeok. Perhaps only a handful of people in the entire world can possess greater power than that..
"As far as we know, Kang Jin-hyuk was an orphan. He was abandoned when he was young and grew up alone. You... Isn't he one of the people related to that??"
flesh and blood).
That was the most likely one..
If this prediction is correct, the reason why not only Jinhyuk but also themselves could not figure out their identity could be solved all at once..
"Hmm."
The man scratched his chin.
At the same time, he gave a reaction that was neither positive nor negative..
"It could be blood relatives. Or maybe we're closer than blood relatives. Or it could be something else entirely.."
partz.
A dark red river rose along the sword..
[The unique spear ‘Sword Geuk Ilshin’ is activated.!]
Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo!
The man's body was enveloped in black energy..
An ominous feeling on a different level than before encroached on the entire space..
……scary.
Just by activating the unique spear, I felt a pressure that went beyond the primeval existence..
"be careful."
"Know."
"shit. It's real, I see it's real."
"……come!"
JJ stepped forward..
Kagagagagaang!
A sword attack that went beyond recognition was poured out..
It was a swordsmanship that was as soft as flowing water, yet rough and elegant as if it were a typhoon..
"Pfft!"
Numerous stab wounds appeared all over the body in an instant..
"Why do you think I gave hints about Ellis and other things??"
The man's eyes turned cold..
The playful side has completely disappeared. A sword spirit full of murderous energy was taking its place..
"Not one of you can get out of here alive.."
All operators are leaving here..
The only person who could see the end of TOP was Kang Jin-hyuk..
* * *
Even if we had used the side road through the swamp, it would have taken quite some time to get to our destination. It was late at night when we finally arrived at the end of the swamp..
still.
Now I can see with my naked eyes where the pinnacle of this world lives..
-contractor.
Ellis, who was watching the situation from Braham's ring, spoke to me..
okay. I know it without having to say it.
From now on it's real.
right then.
ring!
A purple status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk and Cheongha..
"Hoo look at this?"
A meaningful exclamation flowed from Jinhyuk’s mouth..
