I'm a full level newbie - Chapter 788
788Battle for the crown (3)
Fermut's base.
As soon as it disappeared, a light appeared in the eyes of another skeleton in the coffin..
Immediately after being killed by Jinhyeok, he headed to the place where his consciousness was kept in a hiding place..
“master.”
“Are you here??”
There were Fermut's personal guards, Death Knight and Lich..
Even while the sweet potato and the spirit beasts were destroying their base, they were the ones who completely hid their power and stayed away..
“…….”
Fermut slowly rose from his coffin..
It still felt like the shock from when the soul stone was destroyed was felt throughout my body..
A different type of pain than physical pain.
Indeed, as befits a human being he cares about, each and every attack was far beyond common sense..
Because of this, many strong people are bound to lose their lives..
After experiencing it myself, I felt deeply that it was definitely not an enemy worth fighting head-on..
“Cheongha was lost and the crown was taken away..”
Talhasa, the demon god I summoned with great difficulty, was wasted in vain..
I didn't get anything. It will be remembered as a battle in which everything was lost..
Yes.
entire.
The result is exactly what I wanted..
“haha… Hahaha!”
Fermut burst into laughter..
Following Cheongha's kidnapping, the covenant called Talhasa was activated..
The whole thing was a plan to instill tension in Kang Jin-hyuk and make him suspicious..
crown of despair.
As it is the most mysterious relic, it has a very special effect attached to it..
polluting the owner's mind.
Gradually removing humanity without anyone noticing. We end up pursuing only the desires and instincts that are locked deep inside us..
Of course, by owning the crown, Kang Jin-hyuk will also use and abandon his colleagues..
Not only that, but just having it would be a curse that would bring all kinds of misfortune..
“Getting rid of pesky enemies takes a lot of effort and capital..”
Jinjo Ellis von Ataraxiana, Fallen Saint Teresa of Laurencia.
Frostwraiths and Ancient Climbers.
Various phantom beasts and divine beasts, including ancient sweet potatoes.
It is a group of powerful people who are named..
How much sacrifice would it take to deal with them all one by one??
However, if only Kang Jin-hyuk, the head of Goinmul Corporation, could be brought down, collapsing the entire organization was not a problem..
I prepared everything for that.
It's like exchanging the crown of despair for victory in war..
“I'm moving to the next step..”
Fermut grabbed his staff..
Now it's time to deal with the next troublesome enemy, Jecheon Daeseong..
***
After the fierce battle ended.
Ellis, Teresa, and the Frost Spirit have joined..
Thanks to everyone's hard work, I was able to finish the work well without interruption..
“First, I will clear out the surrounding demonic energy with Teresa and establish this area as a base..”
“It'll be a bit busy for a few hours. There were a lot of delicious things left.”
The Frost Spirit and Teresa, who had decided to carry out post-maintenance maintenance without any time to rest, moved immediately..
“I will go to the place where the clan is with King Myo and focus on treatment..”
Seo-ari held the unconscious Chung-ha in her arms..
Although there were no major physical injuries, Fermut's prank took a huge toll on his mind and body..
To cure this, the most effective way was to return to the Miao tribe's home base..
“Although I am a humble person, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of my family. The grace that saved our king. The whole clan won't forget.”
Seo-ari politely bowed her head..
Miao, the weakest axis among the zodiac.
Their life and destiny has always been to suffer and be pushed around by other clans..
But a helper came out who was more reliable than anyone else in the world..
It was also a human from another floor..
“Please take good care of Cheonghana. We'll be there in a few days.”
“yes!”
fault.
With a light leap. Seo-ari and Cheong-ha disappeared..
“Hmm. Anyway, it ended much faster than I thought..”
Ellis, who was left alone, approached Fermut's body..
Most of the body turned to dust, but the skeleton remained..
Tuk-tuk.
Kicking and playing with something.
Anyway, isn't that too humiliating??
Three, I'm starting to wonder what's in Ellis' head..
“'Cause he didn't give it his all.”
“what?”
“They said they tried to lose on purpose. Even Tal Sergeant's abilities were used less than half..”
“I don't understand. You look at me on purpose. Why on earth would you do something like that??”
That's it….
Bingle.
I turned the crown between my fingers..
“Probably to give this to me.”
I will admit that I put a lot of effort into my acting..
If you were trying to deceive me with that, you would be greatly mistaken..
ring!
‘The effect of the crown read with the ‘Eye of Gluttony’ appeared before my eyes..
[crown of despair]
Difficulty of obtaining: Not measurable.
Content: One of the end pieces that allows entry to the 50th floor of the tower, and can control the most fundamental instinct of all living things. It is commonly known that it can maximize the efficiency of necromancy and black magic, and if possessed for more than a certain period of time, it can dominate dark attribute monsters..
Even with five eyes, I couldn't figure out the side effects contained in this crown..
It is said that there is a hidden effect that only those who directly own and experience the crown can know..
but.
While climbing to the top of the tower, Jinhyeok had several opportunities to encounter the side effects of the Crown of Despair..
‘If I hadn't experienced it, I would have been left helpless..’
As a card that Fermut can prepare, he has brought out something truly powerful..
I pondered over memories of the past.
50He destroyed all the troops he had gathered to conquer the floor with his own hands..
‘Too bad….’
There is a way to neutralize the curse.
It's difficult, but not impossible.
“Hmm. Looking at that expression, it looks like he has a plan..”
“huh. I've roughly figured out how to do it..”
the problem is.
It's not Fermut, it's North Iddik, which isn't showing much movement..
Likewise, since the other side was keeping their cards well hidden, there was no way to do it right away..
‘We should assume the number of cases and respond accordingly..’
First, you have to join all the remaining members..
I could feel the magic of Taemin Lee and Yoo Yeonhwa nearby..
“i get it. I'll tell Jim to come over here..”
dull!
A black bat appeared from the tip of Ellis' finger..
He was small and cute and flew into the air holding a letter written in blood..
How long has it been like that??
All the members who had broken up gathered together in one place..
“brother!”
“brother!”
“We finally meet again!”
Taemin Lee, Yeonhwa, and Pesis ran in one step..
My body was covered in soot and wounds from the fierce battle I had been fighting with the elders of the zodiac just moments ago..
“great job. I saw it earlier. It seems like you guys blocked the enemy's support..”
“Well, I just did what I had to do..”
“I'm glad I was of some help to you.”
We've known each other since we first played Tower of Trials..
Looking at my dependable colleagues, a smile naturally came to my face..
“I have secured the luck.?”
“That's what I mean….”
Yeon-Hwa scratched her head..
“What, I thought it was a success. It was a failure?”
“No, it's not like that.….”
Seeing the way he blurts out words as if he's troubled, it seems like there's a problem..
right then.
“Theravada will explain that.!”
A small-sized girl appeared between Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa..
Master Samjang).
Unlike the typical Journey to the West, in this damn tower's worldview, the characters on the 49th floor were quite distorted from before..
A representative example is this girl..
Unlike the monk with his shiny hair, he looked perfect for eating snacks in front of an elementary school..
In fact, he was one of the most important figures in conquering the 49th floor..
‘Hoo.’
Jinhyuk let out an exclamation in his heart..
Ugh!
‘The ‘Mandala’ stored in the ‘memory of the world’ reacts..
Guided by the supreme power of law, it writhes to reach ever higher levels..
“You took the luck?”
“Yes. That cloud belongs to my student. I will keep it well and hand it to you directly..”
“As you can see, I was stubborn and there was nothing I could do about it. You can't steal it from a child..”
“So, So-seung is not a child.!”
“Yeah yeah.”
Yu Yeon-hwa stroked the head of Xuanzang..
Anyone who sees it is treated like a child..
Xuanzang ran rampant, but the threat was not as big as his fingernails..
Jinhyeok approached and squatted down right in front of Master Samjang..
Grumbling.
Is it because it hasn't been long since the fierce battle with Talhasa ended?.
There were still traces of black flames around the body..
flinching.
Master Samjang reacted in rejection without realizing it..
It's because I felt threatened by the cruel and murky energy..
“kill me... Are you trying to steal it??”
“well.”
Jinhyuk grinned..
“Even if I had evil intentions, I have no intention of handing this over. For the suffering disciple. 'Cause this is all I can do.”
“Wow, you seem like a pretty good teacher. I guess your love for your disciple is very special.?”
“He is a precious colleague and student who shared great achievements with him..”
Xuanzang held the Buddhist teachings with his small hands..
“calm down. Because I have no intention of forcing anything. Rather, I will help you deliver Geunduun safely. Instead, if any situation arises, just do me a favor..”
“If you just do that... . Are you saying you're going to give up Geunduun??”
“'Cause I don't hate seeing you work hard for someone.”
If it was taken by force, it would be the same as declaring an all-out war against Jecheon Castle. It's just like a picture anyway..
But, there's no need to say that..
It is advantageous to keep Xuanzang, whose eyes are shining with surprise, in such an illusion..
“i get it. I promise.”
Xuanzang nodded..
like that.
[‘A ‘simple contract’ has been established!]
A decree was made binding each other..

same time.
Outside the Tower of Trials, a strange wave of magic arose..
Parts side!
[A gate is created.]
A simple gate was opened for only one person, not for a large number of people..
Small officetel located in Seocho-gu.
An intruder approaches a place where the owner has been away for a long time..
“Hmm. It's a strange feeling. When I actually came here.”
The man stood in front of the door and muttered..
Player 'Colonel Teemo’.
It is the place where the history of the great figure who conquered the top of the tower began..
[The zodiac sign ‘Lord of Serpent’ is protecting this area..]
A translucent snake invisible to the ordinary eye was slowly circling around..
A kind of protection device in place just in case..
It was a warning that if anyone tried to enter this place, they would be bitten mercilessly..
eat.
The man gently stretched out his hand.
OK.
“Shhh.”
A deadly snake rubbed its head against the back of the man's hand..
He even closes his eyes and enjoys being stroked..
The unfolded barrier has become completely useless..
rattle!
When the tightly closed door was opened, the inside began to be visible..
Dust was piled up on VR devices and various other items that had been used and discarded a few years ago..
The man slowly picked up the VR device.
“I guess I didn't have time to worry about this while dealing with Fermut..”
no.
“Otherwise, it would be more accurate to say that there is no way to know about the importance of this place.?”
Because you've never experienced it before.
Because a different story from the countless challenges of the past was beginning..
Of course, it is natural to not be able to anticipate and prepare..
Clap.
VR device placed over head.
[system operation.]
[‘Past data from ‘Tower of Trials’ is played.!]
The server shut down a long time ago.
So no matter how many times I tried again, the light came on for the game that couldn't be connected..
