＃Maximum Talent Level Player Episode 492
The imitator in the hologram looked like someone predicting victory. The look of fear was gone, and he was full of confidence. Hyukjin Kim knew.
‘It’s the self-immolation that just died and disappeared.’
The body is hiding somewhere.
‘Then did you mistake me for the main body?’
Simply because that is the case, the feelings of fear felt by the imitator were real. Choi Wook-hyeon, who looked into it with his senses, was also real. He was both real and fake. In other words, he was not a complete alter ego.
‘Although their bodies are separate, their alter egos are very closely connected mentally.’
When the clone felt pain, the main body seemed to feel pain of almost the same intensity. I was able to infer it through that.
‘If the alter ego dies, it will take quite a big hit on the main body, right?’
The copyist in the hologram chuckled.
“It was a very humiliating time.”
“okay. “I guess so.”
The copyist continued speaking confidently. It is true that he was paralyzed by fear, and it is true that he told everything honestly, but he planted one lie.
“From the moment you first came into contact with me. “The quest time was being tallied.”
“Ohh.”
It was a last-minute lie.
“And that was enough time to summon the [Subterranean Giant].”
“Subterranean giant?”
Hyukjin Kim’s body flinched. The word ‘giant’ appeared again. And Kim Hyuk-jin already knew about the underground giant.
──────────
[Heavenly Dragon’s Heart Piece]
Balesara, the last Heavenly Dragon, lost a lot of her existence due to the war with the ‘Underground Giants’. Deciding that survival was no longer possible, Bail Sara broke his own heart into small pieces and scattered them around the world. The Heavenly Dragon’s Heart Piece contains considerable ‘dragon energy’, allowing young dragons to grow quickly.
──────────
The ‘Subterranean Giant’ who fought a war with the last heavenly dragon, Veilsara.
A powerful clan that consumes even the dragon’s power of existence. That’s the underground giant.
“There were many restrictions on properly summoning a subterranean giant. “I have to deceive you, deceive you, deceive you again, and take a lot of time to summon the proper Earth Giant.”
“So you took enough time?”
Kim Hyuk-jin recalled what the copyist had said.
-By sacrificing the Shadow Knights, a great being appears on this land.
So, it was said that the Shadow Knights should not be sacrificed, but the time required for the quest should be prolonged in order to summon the perfect underground giant.
The copyist seemed confident of victory now.
“yes.”
Kim Hyuk-jin thought that what the copyist said was partially correct. If the ‘real Earth Giant’ appeared here, Kim Hyuk-jin had no choice. He had some experience with giants. The bulgiant he experienced recently was also an opponent that Kim Hyuk-jin could not handle.
Hyukjin Kim said.
“But.”
There was a big blind spot in the copyist’s words.
“Do you really think you can summon a real [Giant]? Even if you are a genius fighter who has received quest corrections and received help from guardians?”
“What do you mean?”
“A long time ago. A giant appeared in Korea too. It was a fire giant. “Someone who saw the fire giant said this.”
-If real fire giants hear it, their blood pressure will soar so ridiculous that they will faint.
In other words,
“Your level now. “Do you really think you can summon a subterranean giant at the level of your nightmares?”
“Shouldn’t we consider the long and the short?”
The copyist still looked relaxed. He seemed that confident. The copyist continued.
“The underground giant’s estimated level is over 90.”
“oh.”
“It’s definitely not at a level that current players can handle.”
“That’s certainly true.”
Hyukjin Kim grinned. It’s so ridiculous to hear.
“But you know what?”
“What do you mean?”
“The real giants.”
Hyukjin Kim cut down the hologram. The hologram faded.
“I can’t estimate the level.”
Ugh-!
The ground continued to shake.
“You’re bluffing.”
The copyist did not completely believe what Kim Hyuk-jin said. Hyukjin Kim is smart.
So I thought he was still thinking about it. The act of violence earlier was also done with thorough calculation. That’s what the copyist decided.
‘Even so, it is an advantageous situation for me. ‘Take more time.’
In fact, he still needed about 3 more minutes to summon the [Perfect Earth Giant] he thought of. So I deliberately took more time.
“Kim Hyuk-jin. “If you really met a giant.”
“… … .”
“How are you alive and talking to me now?”
The copyist chuckled.
“Giants are ferocious. And it’s not something we can handle. “You speak as if you know a lot about giants, but in reality, you don’t know much about giants.”
“… … .”
“That’s why you’re bluffing.”

The copyist became increasingly happy as he spoke. When will a smart person like Kim Hyuk-jin experience despair? It’s time to find a solution with that smart brain. When you can’t find a solution no matter how hard you think. You will feel trapped in complete darkness with no way out.
“You and I are the same.”
“… … .”
“So, you must be feeling great despair right now.”
The copyist decided to enjoy the situation a little more. Even though they were alter egos, they are almost perfectly connected mentally.
I really wanted to die just now. I really lost my temper.
So I wanted to give Kim Hyuk-jin a taste of greater despair.
“soon. “The subterranean giant will tear you to pieces.”
The spot where the copyist stands in the hologram. Below it, a magic circle with all kinds of letters engraved on it whirled and swirled, blooming with mana.
Kim Hyuk-jin looked at the magic circle and muttered.
“Did you waste all your time?”
Looking at the mana flow, it seems like it’s about time.
“Among numerous directing techniques.”
“… … .”
“There is something called a reversal technique.”
Hyukjin Kim took out an item from his inventory. The copyist’s eyes widened. This is an item I don’t know much about. But I was a little anxious. Something felt wrong.
Hyukjin Kim kindly told me the name of the item.
“The Devil’s Time Watch.”
──────────
[Devil’s Time Watch]
This is a time watch that can deceive the time. It interferes with the time applied within the system and causes distortion. The degree of distortion is directly related to the ‘enhancement talent’ of the user using Time Watch. The Devil’s Time Watch can only be used during the server-level quest ‘Condemn’.
──────────
The Devil’s Time Watch is not a one-time use item.
You can use it as much as you like while completing the server-level quest ‘Condemnation’. A very large time watch appeared in the air. The time on the time watch was randomly created and disappeared.
It was the same as last time. The numbers from 1 to 9 rose and disappeared at an incredibly fast rate.
[‘The Devil’s Time Watch’ distorts the time value.]
[‘Devil’s Time Watch’ is directly related to the user’s ‘enhancement talent’.]
The copyist spoke urgently.
“Could it be an artifact that distorts time values?”
“bingo.”
The copyist’s hand in the hologram moved quickly. Can not be done. It felt like something new was being squeezed out. Kim Hyuk-jin left the imitator in the hologram alone. Now is the time for choice and focus.
Rather than interfering with what the copyists were doing, it was right to focus more on using the ‘Devil’s Time Watch’.
[‘The Devil’s Time Watch’ has succeeded in distorting the time value.]
It is related to reinforcement talent. Hyukjin Kim thinks this is the best timing. When his best luck came, he used the Devil’s Time Watch. This was not an area I knew because someone taught me about it.
Hyukjin Kim’s own feelings. In other words, it was a choice of talent area.
The copyists also set up their own camp.
‘Prevents distortion of time values.’
Time value distortion.
That side is attacking. This side is defense. Whose skills and luck are better? Depending on that, the difference is between victory and defeat.
The time watch was like an electronic display. Green numbers appeared on the electronic display board. The copyist looked at the electronic display board.
-One.
-2.
-3.
The numerical value continued to rise. The copyist was devastated.
‘no.’
Eventually the number rose to -24. The copyist quickly came to his senses.
-24d. How many underground giants can be summoned in 24 minutes? If 24 minutes were shortened, I think I would still be able to summon an underground giant.
‘In 24 minutes… … .’
But then an absurd notification followed.
[-24 hours apply.]
The copyist froze in place.
‘Minus 24 hours?’
It’s been less than 24 hours since I met Hyukjin Kim. But how can it be 24 hours?
[The total progress time of the quest is less than 24 hours.]
[Due to the application of ‘Devil’s Time Watch’, the time required is set to 0 seconds.]
Hyukjin Kim grinned.
“I can’t call a perfect underground giant anyway, but I think it’s better to be safe.”
“… … .”
“however.”
Hyukjin Kim started drawing another picture. There was a need to show a different progression that went beyond simple quest progression. As unique content.
“how is it? “Would you like to make a bet with me?”
* * *
Everything happened according to Kim Hyuk-jin’s wishes. The bet proposed by Kim Hyuk-jin was, ‘Who will win in a fight with what you call the perfect underground giant?’
Mokdong in Las Vegas was so excited that he bet on Kim Hyuk-jin’s victory. There was one reason why Kim Hyuk-jin proposed this bet.
‘[The throne of the Nine Palaces] must be weakened.’
The seat of power of the nine palaces is very fond of the simulator. To the extent of interfering and helping someone to this extent, it is not just love.
‘I’m going to kill the imitator anyway. Then, the throne of the Nine Palaces will try to harm me in some way.’
So now we have decided to drastically reduce that power. The throne of the nine palaces will want to kill Kim Hyuk-jin himself now, so he will probably expend a lot of his protective power to help summon the underground giant.
The schemer gets one more chance, and Kim Hyuk-jin can weaken the throne of Gugung’s rule.
“When I won. You must answer all my questions about [Nightmare]. Those are the terms of the bet.”
“… … .”
In the end, the copyist also accepted Kim Hyuk-jin’s suggestion.
“I accept that bet. But it takes some time. This is because we have to summon the Shadow Knights again and repeat the same process.”
“However much.”
And again enough time has passed. The copyist came to his senses and spoke.
“I will summon the underground giant.”
“okay.”
Kim Hyuk-jin did not miss a single fact. When first summoning the Subterranean Giant, the imitator offered an alter ego that was no different from his own body as a sacrifice. But not now. It is said that the subterranean giant is summoned without sacrifice. Hyukjin Kim grinned without anyone noticing.
‘The throne of the nine palaces must have used a lot of power.’
It turned out just as Kim Hyuk-jin had intended.
‘I’ll make you walk the same path as the shepherd boy.’
The same situation as before was repeated, and it seemed like there was an earthquake, and then something began to appear in the ‘summoning circle’.
Estimated level 90s.
It was an underground giant.
He looked like a person made out of clay. Mud flowed from the body. My rotten self was shaking.
‘It’s not really a giant.’
I didn’t feel the huge presence that I felt when I met the fire giant. As Kim Hyuk-jin predicted, that is not a real underground giant. It did not feel powerful enough to consume the existence value of the Heavenly Dragon Veilsara.
‘nevertheless.’
The claim that the estimated level was in the 90s did not seem to be a lie. A copyist’s voice was heard.
“How do you feel? “I feel like I’m facing an underground giant.”
“… … “If we continue to fight like this, I will die.”
The copyist grinned.
“Too much confidence sometimes leads to death.”
Hyukjin Kim shrugged his shoulders.
“I told you that if you fight like this, you will die. “You didn’t say you were going to fight like this?”
