#Max level talent player episode 601
Ella eventually burst into tears once again.
“help… … please.”
The sound was drowned out by sobbing and could not be heard properly.
“Help me, please.”
“I will help.”
Hyukjin Kim nodded.
[Title effect. ‘The wishes of the people’ are used.]
It was very clear what Ella wanted.
A righteous revenge against the devil who not only killed her husband but also used her.
“I will help. certainly.”
Among the guardians fighting against the devil, we selected the one who would react most violently to this situation.
“This matter will definitely turn out justly.”
Then a much more intense reaction than expected followed.
[‘The Woman on the Scale’ roars.]
Hyukjin Kim almost laughed without realizing it.
The scale woman roars.
This is the first time I have seen the scale woman express herself like that.
Isn’t that kind of expression usually used by guardians such as the pearl of Cheonmasan Mountain or the giant of the setting sun, not the woman of the scales?
[‘The Woman on the Scale’ corrects the expression.]
[‘The Woman on the Scale’ is deeply admirable.]
The scale woman was not silent.
“[Women of the Scale] has negotiated with several guardians and would like to sponsor player Kim Hyeok-jin. Would you like to receive sponsorship?”
“okay. “There is no reason to refuse.”
We made it so that there was no reason to refuse.
Most guardians would also admit that.
I also thought that many Guardians would be itching to intervene directly, and that idea soon turned out to be a reality.
“The guardians of [The Scales Woman and 7 others] are sponsoring it.”
Senia held out a small box and a key.
“Set items? what’s this?”
“It’s a shortcut to Pandora.”
Kim Hyuk-jin already knew about this ‘Pandora’s shortcut’.
It was also an item that several of the top rankers had experienced in the past.
The most representative of them was the great explorer Jackson.
Jackson recalled this about ‘Pandora’s shortcut’:
[Pandora’s shortcut. As a set item, it would act as a double-edged sword.]
[The path shown by Pandora’s shortcut may be a real shortcut or a trap.]
It is a set item that can be activated by opening the box with a key.
It can be opened multiple times, and new questions or conditions are added each time it is opened.
‘It depends on how well you answer new questions and how well you satisfy the conditions… … They said it increases the chance of a real shortcut being opened.’
In this case, there was a high probability that it would be an item that would make it easier to find the entrance.
Hyukjin Kim accepted the set items without hesitation.
“Do you want to activate [Pandora’s Shortcut]?”
Kim Hyuk-jin picked up the key, inserted it into the hole in the box, and turned it.
At that moment, the box opened and bright light came out.
A message similar to a system message was generated inside the box.
[‘Pandora’s Shortcut’ asks a question.]
[Is the ‘Colossus who chose eternal sleep’ awake?]
Kim Hyuk-jin was given a choice with 3 seconds to choose.
‘yes.’
The giant who chose eternal sleep is already awake.
We even met at the Hall of Fighters.
[Then have you ever met the ‘Colossus who chose eternal sleep’?]
[Please answer carefully.]
There was nothing to be cautious about.
Kim Hyuk-jin was confident that he had already met ‘the great god who chose eternal life.’
‘yes.’
[If so, activate ‘Pandora’s Shortcut’ three times.]
Before returning.
There was no record like this.
Kim Hyuk-jin was not embarrassed and put the key in the keyhole and turned it sideways three times.
[You must have been exposed to the great spirit of speculation.]
It was not in the form of a question.
Rather than asking whether you have ever been exposed, you expressed that you must have been exposed.
[You must have experienced the ‘Hall of Fighters’.]
Moment,
The ‘Pandora’s Shortcut’ floating in the air crackled as if there were noise.
At first glance, it seemed like special graphics processing had been done.

[The safety device inherent in ‘Pandora’s Shortcut’ is being lifted at an excessively fast rate.]
[Starting a temporary system check.]
After about 10 seconds passed, the message continued.
[The safety devices inherent in ‘Pandora’s Shortcut’ are operating normally.]
[However, as the safety device is released too quickly, the final safety device is activated.]
Hyukjin Kim could feel it for a moment.
‘what?’
I could feel the energy of the guardians beyond ‘Pandora’s Shortcut’.
It felt as if ‘Pandora’s shortcut’ was a passage between the guardians and himself.
Far away in the aisle.
It seemed like the guardians were laughing in another dimension.
‘Is it an illusion?’
It was a very short time.
‘no. It’s not an illusion.’
Pandora’s shortcut is an item that many guardians, including the ‘Woman of Scales’, have arranged with added protective power. I saw it through this. Many guardians were laughing. He seemed very satisfied.
‘On the other hand, there are guardians who are embarrassed.’
Perhaps, guardians close to the Demon King had a higher chance.
Kim Hyuk-jin silently felt that energy.
It seemed like the guardians were having a conversation.
‘Leave me…’ … It feels like we’re having a conversation.’
At that time, Senia explained.
“[Pandora’s Shortcut] is an item designed by multiple guardians to directly interfere with play. “As the item’s abilities are superior, there is a corresponding penalty.”
“Penalty?”
“Among the guardians who expressed opposition to the wishes of the majority of guardians who sponsored [Pandora’s Shortcut], the one who sponsored the most coins will set the final safety device.”
Simply put,
‘The devil’s side’s guardians can set up a final safety device?’
Then things might get difficult.
There could be some pretty strange conditions attached.
“However, for the sake of fairness in the system, one of three options is given.”
It seemed that the system presented three conditions, and the Demon King’s guardian chose one condition.
‘shit.’
It was obvious that Kim Hyuk-jin himself would set conditions that were almost impossible to carry out.
“The guardian who will set up the final safety device has been decided.”
“Who are you?”
“This is [Blackstar Gravekeeper].”
Kim Hyuk-jin couldn’t believe his ears for a moment.
‘Blackstar Gravekeeper?’
Blackstar Gravekeeper.
He was the guardian of the necromancer Gil Seong-yoon, one of the eight heroes of Korea.
He was probably a growing player somewhere in Africa by now.
‘Why the Guardian of the 8 Heroes?’
The guardians of the 8 heroes are the guardians who fight against the devil.
That’s how I knew it.
But why?
[The final safety device is set.]
Kim Hyuk-jin swallowed his saliva.
Kim Hyuk-jin also couldn’t help but be nervous.
[There must be at least one achievement recorded in the ‘Slab of Achievement.’]
* * *
I felt it through ‘Pandora’s Shortcut’.
Some were happy, others were embarrassed.
It would be nice to be able to hear the exact content of the conversation, but that was impossible.
I could only feel the general atmosphere.
‘Blackstar’s Gravekeeper… … ‘He must be a spy or something.’
Considering the situation, it was like that.
It seemed that the Black Star Gravedigger was a spy sent to the Demon King by the Guardians of the 8 Heroes.
Senia asked.
“Player Kim Hyeok-jin. Are you sure you have ever recorded your achievements on the [Slab of Achievements]?”
“I know one thing for sure.”
“What is?”
“Those of you who support the man I commonly call the Demon King cannot see me play.”
It became more certain.
There were factions among the Guardians, and the factions were divided into channels they could view and channels they could not view.
‘Otherwise, there’s no way I would have approved these conditions.’
In the end, the spy, ‘Blackstar’s Gravekeeper’, succeeded in imposing seemingly impossible conditions, and the Guardians of the 8 Heroes, including the Woman of Scales, seemed to have won the strategy.
[Check the achievements recorded on the Achievement Tablet.]
A dazzling light emanated from the box, and the golden light formed a path.
[‘Pandora’s Shortcut’ creates a shortcut.]
[‘Pandora’s shortcut’ chooses the ‘fastest and best path’.]
Senia said.
“If any Guardians have any objections, please let us know. “I will listen.”
These words were also heard by Kim Hyuk-jin.
Kim Hyuk-jin chuckled without anyone noticing.
They are passing on information under the pretense of relaying.
-Pandora’s shortcut may be objected to by those who have objections.
This information.
-‘Those with objections’ exist in the channel.
He hinted at this information.
“No objections were raised. Therefore, ‘Pandora’s Shortcut’ will create a Golden Road.”
A notification followed.
[Golden Road has been created.]
A golden-colored road.
This road is so high. It continued all the way to the top of the cliff.
Kangsom twitched his eyes.
“this. “I think it’s a high pass?”
At the end of the golden road, I saw a large cave.
Kangsom stood on the road.
“I will take the lead.”
“yes.”
Kim Hyuk-jin also saw a cave.
Kim Hyuk-jin and Kang So-mi walked toward the cave.
“and. This is amazing. “I never thought something like this would exist.”
Kang Somi looked down from the top of Golden Road.
It was quite a dizzying height.
‘It’s called [Pandora’s Shortcut]. ‘It’s an interesting item.’
If I didn’t have that item, how should I clear this path?
How did they discover that cave?
As an explorer, I focused on it and looked around.
‘I don’t know.’
There was no answer in sight.
Isn’t there a way to reach that cave other than Pandora’s shortcut?
It was to the point where I even thought about that.
“I don’t think there’s any way to find that gate other than this Golden Road.”
“okay.”
It was confirmed over and over again.
‘Increasingly, the intervention of guardians is needed.’
There are limits to the player’s power alone.
It seemed like there would be frequent cases in the future where the guardians would have to intervene and where their power would be key.
‘There was nothing like this in the past.’
There was no information like this in any strategy book.
Some of the top rankers could have mentioned this, but no one mentioned it.
‘It’s a lot different from the past.’
Hyukjin Kim walked and stopped in front of the cave.
It was clearly visible in Kim Hyuk-jin’s eyes.
──────────
[Colossus Library]
──────────
It was the first gate leading to the dimension-level quest ‘Record of the Giant who chose eternal life’.
“Shall we go in?”
“no. wait a minute.”
Kim Hyuk-jin grabbed the back of Kang Som-i as she was about to enter.
“huh? why?”
“Let’s wait just a little longer.”
Kim Hyuk-jin silently stared at the gate.
Even for Kang Som-i, it seemed surprising.
“why?”
There was no telling when this golden rod would disappear.
If the Golden Road disappears, that gate will also disappear.
“Why are you waiting? “I don’t know when the Golden Road will disappear.”
“It’s a little different from the entrance I saw.”
“yes?”
Kim Hyuk-jin was not impatient.
He knocked on the stone bridge and told me to cross it.
The entrance to the cave was examined using reconstruction analysis.
“Was the final safety device really the final safety device?”
Even with the spy’s help, would the Demon King’s guardians give up their interference so easily?
If you think about it, it was simple.
It couldn’t have been this easy.
Kim Hyuk-jin took out Lee Sen and swung it without hesitation.
“If you are a true explorer of service.”
Kangsom’s head fell to the ground.
“You would have trusted me more.”
-Let’s wait just a little longer.
When Kang Som said that, Kang Som must have thought deeply in her own way.
I wouldn’t have immediately asked ‘Why?’
“You must have tried to find the answer yourself.”
Why did the guild leader say this?
What am I missing?
I would have looked at that first.
-Why are you waiting? I don’t know when the Golden Road will disappear.
Even though the situation was urgent, Kang Somi always trusted Kim Hyuk Jin.
This kind of fussing did not suit Kang Somi.
Kim Hyuk-jin decided that way, and so he swung Lee Sen without hesitation.
I asked towards the fallen neck.
“who are you?”
