I'm a max level newbie - Chapter 735

735fury. moonlit night

A huge pit just outside of town..

There were over a thousand residents gathered there..

Those who have no wings or very small wings. That's right, they were the lowest level angels..

‘I'm digging up the magic gem that will become the frame for the sacred stone..’

Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed..

Unlike magic gemstones, which are generally bluish, this gemstone is pure white..

Only within it could divine power be contained..

One of the reasons I came to this village was related to that sacred stone..

Kaang! Caen!

Have you been working with a pickaxe all day??

There are more than one person who stumbles..

of course.

"move quickly!"

"Do you all want to die? They're like scum.."

The whipping by angels who appeared to be administrators did not contain any mercy..

Blood splatters and flesh is torn apart..

It's as cruel as using medieval slaves..

"Cruel guys... . How can angels do that?."

"……."

Jinhyuk cursed..

And Ellis stared at Jinhyuk..

"Huh! greatness. Let's blend in there first. Pretending to be a worker will make it easier to get into town.."

Jinhyuk created two shells using ‘bast cotton balls’.

The scars from being whipped and the pale gold eyebrows common among the lowest-ranking angels were noticeable..

Since his body was already emitting a faint divine power, he would be able to blend in without being suspected..

'There are so many numbers.'

Adding 2 more people to a crowd of over 1,500 won't make any difference..

Jinhyeok and Ellis approached the outskirts of the pit, hiding their presence as much as possible..

"Huh. Heo Eok…."

"water… Even just a little bit…."

"It would be better if it just ended."

half-dead corpses.

There was no hope to be found in the pupils that had lost focus..

These zombies are not allowed..

A little more.

I need to find someone who is even a little bit lively..

Jinhyuk was walking cautiously when a boy caught his eye..

Likewise, although his entire body was covered with wounds, the spark of fire was alive in his eyes..

balance.

Although it was extinguished several times, the flame clearly remained..

Additionally, the boy's eye and eyebrow color.

Unlike the others, it was blue in color..

The wings only grew on one side..

This is going to be fun.

I never thought I would meet a rare species in a place like this..

good. That's enough.

Found the right person.

Kaang!

I stood next to him holding the pickaxe I had purchased in advance at the coin exchange..

"……."

A stranger came up next to him, but the boy didn't care and continued his work..

It was then that Jinhyuk stopped talking..

"I didn't know there were survivors left on Judah's wing.."

A word thrown out abruptly.

"……!?"

A variety of emotions burst out on the face of a boy who had no interest in anything other than his fingernails..

"Everything, you… That… how?"

"Eyes and wings. Beings with such characteristics are not that common.."

The Wings of Judah are those who sided with Lucifer during the war between Eden and the Demon World a long time ago..

kind of traitors.

After all those involved were purged, their very existence was erased from history..

At least that's what was known in Eden.

'But there are always survivors.'

Jinhyuk waited for the boy's reaction as if he was interested..

"To say… Is this your idea??"

If this is natural, it is a natural reaction..

Traitor is everyone's achievement.

If you reveal your identity, you will be immediately executed by being torn apart..

"well. Do I really need to do that??"

Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders..

They had come to this village in the past, but this time, the ancient beings and even Addon had intervened. Things were quite different in Eden..

This means that there is a gap between previously known information and reality..

so that.

Someone who knew the internal situation in detail was absolutely necessary..

right then.

"Are these crazy? Why are you talking so much when you're not doing what you're told to do??"

An angel patrolling around opened his eyes..

Immediately the whip in my hand stretched out like lightning..

Sigh.!

Jinhyuk took that punishment instead..

"Block it?"

The supervisor tried to crack the whip again..

"Just do it in moderation. If we get hurt, there will be a problem with supply, right? The quota would have already increased because of the war. Are you really okay with that??"

"……."

The hand that was about to hit me stopped for a moment..

As I said, I was about to have a headache due to the quota being double the usual amount..

In wars with other great powers, no matter how many sacred stones there were, they were not enough..

however.

"I don't think the amount of mining will change just because one or two of the dying bugs are gone.."

Wow!

The whip struck again..

A red line appeared on Jinhyuk's back..

"You guys…."

Well done!

"dare…!"

Wow!

"Thinking that something is important is arrogance.!"

The whip moved at an invisible speed..

Since I don't want it to be obvious, I can't use any defensive magic or skills..

For the first time in a while, a searing pain hit my whole body..

Damn it.

you memorized the face.

I wanted to rip out his head like a Lego right now, but if I did that, my attempts to infiltrate would be in vain..

In order to achieve great things, we must endure these trials..

The life of a great actor is always difficult..

The big problem wasn't their patience, but rather Ellis's..

"dare…."

Alice's eyes were bloodshot as she saw Jinhyeok getting hurt..

Tsutsutsu….

Blood slowly begins to collect.

Jinhyeok indicated with his hand that it was okay, but Ellis' sense of reason had already been cut off..

1One more second and the whole town might have evaporated..

Fortunately.

"stop. Then, if you really die, it becomes a pain in the ass.."

Another supervisor stopped his colleague.

"Sheesh!"

The angel who had been whipping her seemed to have lost her temper and backed away, pretending not to be able to resist..

After about 6 hours, the long labor was over..

"work done!"

"Everyone, get ready to go back. This means that if you want to sleep a little more, you have to move quickly. Things like slugs!"

The slaves moved to the village in groups of five and ten..

Kukukukukuk!

A heavy door opened.

I knew it.

'The lost language is engraved in this too..'

For alarm rather than defense.

A loophole is intentionally created in the village's own security, and if someone breaks in, news is immediately delivered to Eden's leadership..

If they had invaded by force, their aim would have been exposed before they even started planning..

We arrived at a place where slaves were gathered..

It's a good place to stay. All there was was straw spread out in an open cage with no place to escape the wind..

There was sticky porridge stuck to the dishes that I didn't know when they had been washed..

"Eat and sleep. I'll start working again in 5 hours.."

Holy water and porridge containing a small amount of divine power dissolved in it.

That was all the meal was..

Even though there was a fuss about eating each other,.

As soon as the gluttonous meal was over, almost everyone fell asleep..

In order to cope with the fatigue accumulated in my body and the labor that would begin again, I had to force my eyes to close..

⁕⁕⁕

the night was deep.

The crescent moon seen for the first time in Eden gave off a particularly cold light..

"……Are you okay??"

Before we knew it, Ellis came and sat next to Jinhyuk..

"I just got bitten by a few mosquitoes.."

"The wound looks deep."

Ellis' touch touched me..

"This is no big deal…."

Jinhyuk, who was about to laugh, blurted out his words..

This is because Alice’s fingertips that touched her body were trembling slightly..

"ellis?"

"Contractor too... It's hurting."

A strong presence who always held on like a mountain and led us to victory..

People like that bleed and get hurt..

You'll break, break, and in the worst case scenario, die..

‘‘Bat cotton ball’ is erased.

A night where only faint moonlight remains.

Ellis's eyes turned to Jinhyuk..

The wish I've had my whole life... already achieved.

Because the traitorous family heads were punished and the name and meaning of Ataraxia was restored..

I lived for only that one thing, and I thought that if I could achieve just that, there would be no regrets..

however.

I have a new wish.

Now I want to escape from the dark past and create a tomorrow with my precious person..

"Jim is anxious.."

I'm so anxious and anxious that I can't stand it..

The emptiness that cannot be filled even though we are together.

The reality of having to watch without receiving anything in return.

and.

A future where that precious being is heading towards an increasingly dangerous and dark place..

"What do you think of Jim??"

"that is… What are you talking about?"

"Don't you know that Jim likes you? I'm just trying to ignore it for a bigger purpose.."

"I am…."

Jinhyuk closed his mouth heavily..

There's no way you don't know Alice's feelings when you're closer to her than anyone else..

but.

As Ellis said, there were more important things left to do now..

"It's not a question I really wanted an answer to. just. Jim hopes the contractor is safe. I hope you survive and be by my side even when the end of this tower comes.."

All I want is just one thing.

Just being together is enough.

Ellis smiled sadly..

"Still, my pride won't forgive me if I look at it too much, so I guess I'll try to be a little greedy.?"

at the same time.

I felt a soft and warm touch on Jinhyuk’s lips..

"……!?"

It feels like time has stopped.

Even when fighting Nyarlathotep. Even when he first met Azathoth. And he never felt this way, not even when he first climbed to the top of the tower..

Jinhyuk flinched, but Ellis pressed his body even closer..

I wrapped Jinhyuk’s shoulders with both hands and knocked him down..

The silver hair that hung down like a skein of thread gently brushed the nape of Jinhyuk’s neck..

The feel of your skin and the feel of your lips.

Red eyes that looked like they were about to be sucked in slowly closed as if they wanted to remember this moment forever..

Feelings are conveyed.

Even though it was so cold inside the prison, a warmth bloomed..

Jinhyuk also quietly closed his eyes..

*

I think I slept particularly well that night..

When dawn broke. I saw Ellis sleeping peacefully in my arms..

Jinhyuk gently stroked Ellis’ head..

……I feel like my complicated mind has become a little more organized..

A reason to live.

The purpose of living has become more solid..

'I can't afford to lose.'

I will definitely overcome whoever my opponent is..

Unlike the past, now there are precious people to protect..

like that.

3Time passed by work..

In the meantime, Jinhyuk silently completed the assigned tasks and focused only on mining sacred stones. He did not forget to look around the village from time to time and collect information..

-A torch soaked in holy oil was secured. Hercules and Thor captured the two southern citadels..

- In a week, the deployment of the mechanized corps will almost be completed. They're continuing to launch small-scale assaults, but Yeonhwa is holding on strong..

-Mr. Jinhyuk. Together with Gabriel, I succeeded in recapturing the eastern POW camp. Most of them are seriously injured, but I think they will be able to join our team once they recover a little..

Ravens made of bone brought news from other scattered companions..

Everyone was faithfully carrying out their duties..

And when the fourth day came.

"What is your plan??"

The boy approached Jinhyuk..

good.

The moment I've been waiting for has finally come.
