31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 165)
The search team led by Frannan poured into Alcatron..
I walked down the long stairs, taking careful steps to avoid slipping..
[Start your next adventure.]
[The twenty-second adventure begins.]
[Adventure 22. Alkatron]
Adventure 22. 'Alkatron’
Thanks to your activities in the Water Mist Hills, the expedition team was able to reach its destination smoothly..
However, the expedition has not been successful yet..
‘Half of the expedition to search for 'Libra Bornuil' entered Alkatron a day earlier, and your group followed suit..
There's something ominous here.
But even so, you just do what you have to do.
Finding balance.
Goal: Check Libra's safety.
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Be careful, this adventure changes from moment to moment..
Please note, this adventure is expected to be a long journey. Therefore, you may not be able to get proper rest..
Current remaining time 「Unknown」
‘There's time left... It's unknown?’
It's not that there isn't a time limit, it's that there is, but I can't tell..
Snowfall frowned and went down the stairs..
But suddenly, a loud noise was heard from behind..
Couuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
“Wow….”
tup-!
Mael covered Chameli's mouth..
“Be quiet, this is a place where you never know what might happen, so don't make any noise..”
Chameli argued with Bitan..
“That's what you just said?”
【…….】
Grief had no answer..
“Okay, quickly say yes..”
Kangseol looked back and answered.
“It's not heartbreak. The door is closed. No, it would be more accurate to say that it disappeared..”
“The entrance… Disappeared? Then we're stuck here.?”
“I don't know, but I heard that Alcatron shows up every night, so I think the door will only open at night again..”
“I need at least a day to get out of here.….”
Snowfall asked Mael.
“Mael, what was the size of this place when you excavated it??”
“All I remember is that it is a huge ruin. At the time, I was not part of the Relics Association, so I only had access to materials, and the excavation area was not that large..”
“Does that mean that even though only a part of it has been excavated, its scale cannot be guessed??”
“Yes, that's right. however… It's strange when I think about it.”
“what?”
As Mael nodded and thought about something, Chameli clung to him..
“Now, don't kid yourself. What's strange??”
“…….”
“That's it! I came down all the stairs..”
“Lower your voice. Are you planning to summon a monster??”
Mael keeps thinking about something..
snowfall asked him.
“Mael, have any monsters ever appeared here??”
“Old corpses have been found, but monsters have never been seen. however….”
“Why are you doing that??”
“No, I'm not sure yet. Let's go further.”
That… Jeopuk…
It's been a long time since Kang Seol heard the sound of her walking this loudly..
‘It feels like I'm speaking alone in an empty auditorium..’
That means the scale of this Alkatron is considerable..
Frannan said.
“I haven't seen a single other person yet. How far is it from the excavation point??”
“…….”
“Hey Mael?”
“passed by.”
“…what?”
Mael's expression became serious..
“already… We have long since passed the point where excavations stopped..”
“…Are you kidding me??”
“The space we are currently walking through was originally full of rocks and rubble. But… Somehow I can keep going.”
he said quietly.
“It's as if someone knew there would be guests and cleaned it up.….”
Cooung.
People began to murmur at the sudden earthquake..
“What does this mean??”
“I'm not the only one who just felt this?”
“Something was shaking?”
Frannan raised his hand and said:.
“Hey guys, get ready.”
“yes?”
“Something… come.”
Kugu Palace-!
[A spatial transformation occurs.]
[Your body is being robbed of its freedom..]
[you become a loner.]
[The hidden adventure ‘Lonely Dies’ begins.]
‘Damn it! What the hell!’
Jiiiiiiing-
Kang Seol struggled to reject the transfer, but instead, his body disappeared even faster, engulfed in light..
* * *
pop…
pop…
Moisture collected on the ceiling fell from my forehead..
Even though it was only a drop, it was quite stinging due to how high the ceiling was, and the temperature was as cold as ice water..
“Ughhh….”
【hey! Don't lie down and wake up quickly!】
“how… what happened?”
Kang Seol came to his senses and woke up quickly..
Adventure 22-1. ‘Lonely dies.’
you have become a loner.
You can decide how to interpret this problem now after meeting other people..
As of now, no information has been obtained.
Objective: Find other search teams.
Be careful, this adventure is very dangerous.
Be careful, this adventure changes from moment to moment..
Please note, this adventure is expected to be a long journey. Therefore, you may not be able to get proper rest..
Current remaining time 「23 : 15」
“…loners die?”
Snowfall looked around with a frown, like someone who had read an ominous letter..
‘But why is there no light coming into the space itself??’
it was strange.
No, the strangest thing was that the search team was caught up in an unknown force and separated, but since we did not have the capacity to find out the cause of the phenomenon, we had to solve the urgent problem first..
widely-!
Grumbling…
Snowfall took out a torch from her belongings and lit it..
‘Everyone probably has an emergency torch, but there is no reaction.….’
It was normal for this place to flicker with lights now..
But that doesn't mean there is some reason..
“Doesn’t the light spread beyond a certain distance??”
[We have obtained new information about The Loner Dies.]
[Other people's lights seem impossible to see from a distance..]
‘…What's this?’
A phrase reminiscent of a room escape game. Kang Seol scratched her cheek and tried to continue her thoughts at the startling situation..
“Wow-!”
“…….”
“also… There's no reaction.”
Someone suddenly appeared next to Kang Seol and shouted. It seemed like it was probably done to startle him..
There was something about Kang Seol that surprised him more than his actions..
“…who?”
- Excuse me, but who are you??
- Sorry, sorry. Because I mistook a person haha…
- Hahaha... Who is it?
A handsome man who can be said to be very perfect.
A man with a shining appearance was wearing a shabby robe, looking at the snowfall with a surprised face..
“…I see it?”
“Can't you see it??”
“That can't be possible... I'm a ghost.”
“…yes?”
“You guys just arrived at Alkatron.?”
- Haha, it's a ghost. (faints))
- Ugh, there's Jammin who still pulls pranks like that (he's not breathing))
- ah! surprised! Okay, let's say I was surprised lol (I'm planning to sleep with my mom today)
Kang Seol was curious about this man's identity, but she was even more curious about the secrets of this place that this man knew..
But for now, I need to know who the other person is, so I asked for the former..
“Who are you.”
“Honorific terms... You can be comfortable with me! We're friends?”
“…It depends on your answer..”
“It's tight... Do you often hear that you are stubborn? I'm a ghost? look, ghost!”
The man put his hand on Kang-seol's body, but the hand passed through Kang-seol's body like nothing happened..
“…Really.”
“Right? Now you believe me?”
“What is your name?”
“name? doesn't exist. Before I met you, none of these guys here recognized me, so what do I need a name for??”
“but….”
“Instead, would you please build one??”
“I am… name?”
“huh! Because you’re the only one who calls me anyway!”
“How about taking it easy with Tori??”
“tori?”
“Tori when lonely.”
- It's hopeless! Snowman's naming sense is hopeless.!
- When you have a child, you must name it at the Philosophy Institute.!
- Why Tori? cook… cook… I like it…
- Sir, by any chance, is your name Seaweed Guk??
Tori smiled brightly and nodded..
“Good, good meaning! I'm Tori from now on. Well then, friend! What can I help you with??”
“Tori, how did you become a ghost??”
“What happened? No, I didn't do anything. When I opened my eyes I was just a ghost.”
“Hmm… I have no memories of my life.?”
“at all! Maybe I'm a mutant? It's just a ghost!”
Kangseol was laughing as if it was ridiculous and thinking about the conversation with Tori..
“…….”
“what's the matter?”
“a moment ago… Didn't you say these are the guys here??”
“huh! These guys here! why is that?”
“here… Was there anyone else besides us??”
“Yes, of course?”
Tori said with wide eyes..
“This is a prison, so of course there are prisoners.!”
“…Mael's guess was correct..”
Kang Seol actually felt at ease once he was sure of the purpose of the ruins..
‘If it were a prison, all the prisoners inside would be dead. Because it’s such an old ruin.’
“What about the prisoners inside? Everyone would have died?”
“no. Why die??”
“…….”
“We were all locked up not long ago, but after the rumbling and shaking, everyone escaped from their respective rooms..”
“damn… then….”
Tori pointed to the darkness in front with her finger..
“Hey, one of your friends is being chased..”
“yes?”
“I think I'm going to die if I don't get it quickly..”
pot-!
Snowfall ran quickly towards the front..
Squeak… Squeak!
Squeak!
‘monkey sounds?’
There won't be anyone who can leisurely imitate a monkey, so the owner of this cry must really be a monkey..
There is only one monkey in the group.
‘addict!’
Ukkii profit!
The monkey recognized Kangseol and ran to Kangseol holding a large piece of paper and hugged her..
[you are no longer alone.]
Ukki profit!
Squeak!
The addict repeatedly stretched his hand behind him and announced something..
‘Something… There is.’
Seueuugh…
An insect that is 2 to 3 times the size of a human has appeared.
“mantis?”
Tori came next to me and said.
“Oh, it was that friend..”
“do you know?”
“1He was a prisoner on the floor. He must have a bad temper.”
“…1floor? Are you saying this is not the end of the ruins??”
Snowfall's insight has been activated..
Kissyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
[unknown]
Grade: Rare
estimated level : 28~34
unknown
Basic Abilities: [Unknown 2], [Unknown 2], [Unknown 2], [Unknown 1], [Unknown 5], [Unknown 2],
Special Abilities: [Unknown 2]
“…Just kidding?”
“what?”
Why can't the insight eye read the information of a monster that is at best one of the imprisoned prisoners, and why is that monster's level as rare as that of a boss monster?.
Kishaaaat!
The giant praying mantis swung its front paws and rushed at Snowfall..
Whirling-!
[Takes the form of the shaman ‘Jammad of the Firestorm’ and the raven..]
[‘Absorbs the abilities of ‘Jammard of the Firestorm’.]
[Occupation: Fighter.]
However, no matter how rare it was and how high its level was, it was no match for Snowfall, who became a night raven..
Kaaaaang!
Snowfall, who easily dodged the striking blow, slammed his right arm into the mantis' chest..
Sigh!
It was a fairly strong shell, but when I pressed a little harder, my fist dug in deeply, like soft tofu being crushed..
Holding support!
Electricity spread throughout the mantis' body..
Kiiiiiiiiii!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The mantis' eyeball exploded from shock..
flutter.
I collapsed in front of the snowfall..
[1Floor: Defeated Malkurium..]
Ghost Tori was looking at the mantis' corpse with admiration..
“…I guess Malcurium is the name of the praying mantis, but what did you mean by the first floor??”
“Hiyaaa… Are you strong? Malcurium cracks with one hit! And it exploded.”
“Please answer, I mean the first floor, are there more floors??”
“I did not know? Alkatron is made up of several floors and you have only just reached the first floor..”
“what….”
“Rather, I'm talking about your eyes right now.….”
“eye? Are you talking about my eyes??”
“Yeah, it's changing in a fascinating way, isn't it? I just turned bright red.”
“…no way. here?”
Throbbing….
Kang Seol closed her eyes tightly as the pain began to make her eyeballs fall out..
The opening of the eye had already shown signs from the labyrinth of penance..
Insight has built up its proficiency by reading information from powerful enemies..
And just now, reading the information in this Malcurium, I felt like I had reached the end of my mastery..
“If you want to scream, you can scream. Because there's no one nearby.”
“…Ugh, wow.!”
Eventually, a great deal of pain came to Kangseol..
[The insightful eye undergoes a major change..]
[The original blood intervenes in the process of change..]
