Episode 237
237. Episode 237
“First Apostle, seize the power that Khepri has prepared for you!”
Pharaoh stretched out his hand and pointed to the dung beetle statue on the altar.
This is the true reward that Kephri has prepared.
Even at first glance, it seemed like a considerable amount of divinity, enough to diminish Kephri’s own strength.
It makes one wonder how such a great amount of divinity could be hidden in the midst of trials.
Perhaps, he had been gradually adding strength over a long period of time, hoping that one day he would appoint an apostle and have that apostle lead the tower.
“Okay.”
Se-Woon approached the reward without hesitation.
Thud, thud.
As they arrived in front of the stone statue with light steps, Kephri looked at Seun with a pleased face.
Oh, of course, the face was not visible because it was covered by the golden mask. The expression on his face could only be guessed by the faint laughter coming from inside the mask.
“But before that.”
“Huh? What’s the matter, Apostle?”
Seun turned around with the stone statue in front of him and looked at the Pharaoh. Then, the stigmata that had been silent began to glow red again.
The dung beetle statue, which had been waiting for its master’s choice, vibrated low in response.
– The stigmata meet a familiar energy and begin to resonate.
– The energy of the sun that was hidden deep within the stigmata is amplified.
The energy of the sun, which had been shaking unsteadily, settled down straight.
Since the statue containing the true divinity of Khepri reacts as a medium, it has become much easier to handle the divinity.
The stigmata radiated warm sunlight towards the Pharaoh, who still expressed his doubts.
Soon, the power of the stigmata mixed with the sunlight.
– The stigmata react to the tale of the Blood Wolf Legend.
– The second ability of the stigmata, ‘Frenzy’, awakens.
Kwajik!
The mummies who were celebrating their victory behind them attacked the Pharaoh from behind.
They grab your ankles, bite your calves, and dig their long nails into your thighs.
With her chest split open and her ribs exposed, the mummy uses her own body as a shackle to bind the Pharaoh’s arms.
“What have you done! Even if you are an apostle of Lord Kepuri, how dare you show your teeth to me!”
The mummies were powerful, but they were originally summoned beings created by the Pharaoh.
Even though his power was amplified by the power of madness, he could not completely capture the Pharaoh.
With just one strike of the Pharaoh’s staff on the ground, fifty-nine mummies would disappear into a handful of sand.
“This is an insult and a betrayal, like daring to look straight into the great sun!”
Pharaoh lifted up his staff.
The mummies desperately pressed down on his shoulders and arms, but was it really a monster imbued with the power of the Pharaoh? Despite the mummies’ struggles, the Pharaoh’s hand slowly rose upward.
Now, the moment that staff hits the ground, the mummies disappear.
However, in that brief moment when the Pharaoh’s staff was struggling to rise and was halted by the mummies, Seun’s sword moved first.
The internal energy of the Dantian had already been heated up for this moment.
– The first form of the Purple Haze Sword, Purple Haze Opening, is strengthened through internal energy.
– According to the secret of Jahashin Gong, heat is added to the martial arts.
Crunch-
In an instant, the world turned purple, and the Pharaoh’s head was cleanly cut off.
Even as his neck tilted and he fell to the floor, Pharaoh kept his eyes wide open, seemingly unaware of his own death.
The moment when the Pharaoh’s head falls onto the marble and the mummies’ bodies turn to sand and disappear.
– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun’, barely escapes and desperately tries to make his own arrangements.
– You discover a dung beetle statue with the constellation ‘The Sun Roller’ clearly visible, and the figure of a Pharaoh lying with his head cut off.
The quiet message from Kephri has reappeared. It seems that he escaped from Ra in a hurry to keep an eye on Seun.
Whether or not, Se-Woon continued what he was doing.
The reason why he attacked the Pharaoh even after the test was over and even the arrangement of Khepri had appeared was very obvious.
‘Special meal.’
Since he is a monster imbued with the power of the Pharaoh, he will be an excellent ‘nutrient’.
– Predated ‘Neferkare VIII’.
– Absorbs nutrients and increases intelligence by 20.
– Absorbs some of the divinity of the constellation inhabiting the prey.
Kwajik!
The fangs of gluttony bit into the Pharaoh’s body with urgency.
It was no match for the real Pharaoh, and compared to ordinary monsters, it was far higher in rank, so its body would have been protected by high magical power, but it was of no use.
Because defense was meaningless in the face of the fangs of gluttony.
– The constellation, the ‘hungry prince’, is dazzled by the splendid banquet served before his eyes.
The Pharaoh’s hardened flesh was pierced, and golden blood flowed from the wound.
The molars of gluttony bared their tongues and greedily swallowed every drop of blood.
‘That’s a bit of a waste.’
The molars even chewed up the staff that Pharaoh was holding.
It looked pretty useful, but it seemed difficult to carry around.
And after a while, the Pharaoh’s body completely disappeared from the hollow.
– The constellation, ‘the one who rolls the sun’, denies reality.
Even if he was Seun, did he not expect that he would kill the Pharaoh? When the shock was too much, no words came out, and there was no particular reaction from Khepri.

Se-Woon headed towards the altar again before it got noisy.
The dung beetle statue no longer resonated.
The moment he killed the Pharaoh, it was as if the being with the energy of the sun realized that he was not the one who would be his master.
The golden divinity that had been flowing softly was completely gone, as if it were a lie.
‘It’s already too late.’
Se-Woon placed his right hand on it.
The stigmata, which had given up on following the sunrise’s energy any longer, began to emit a ferocious, dark red light.
The divinity hidden inside the statue trembled in fear.
The moment when you apply more force to the stigmata to pull them out.
– What a tempting treat.
An eerie voice was heard.
A voice that is engraved in the brain rather than the ears.
The will of the stigmata that I had heard of not long ago was clear.
Along with that, the light of the stigmata grew stronger and the divinity hidden within the statue gradually rose up.
Roughly, as if someone was grabbing me by the collar and forcibly pulling me up.
Ppachik-
A crack appeared in the center of the statue, and golden divinity flowed out through it, being absorbed into Seun’s stigmata.
The absorbed divinity instantly merged with Seun’s divinity and changed into a crimson light.
A warm energy like sunlight rose from my whole body.
It’s not physical strength. It’s a feeling of strength rising in the soul itself.
Seun was now absorbing Kephri’s divinity and raising his soul level.
And soon the dung beetle statue was completely destroyed and all the divinity within it was absorbed… … .
– The constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun’, lets out a shrill scream, saying that this cannot be happening.
– The sun of Heliopolis shakes due to the screams of the constellation, ‘The One Who Rolls the Sun’.
– The constellations of Heliopolis frown.
Kephri finally came to his senses and started to freak out.
* * *
Fortunately, Kephri’s glow stopped quickly.
It was thanks to Heliopolis that he came out and stopped Kephri before Seun could block the channel.
The scream was so loud that all the constellations, including Ra, covered Khepri’s mouth.
Even though Khepri was a major constellation, she could not be freed from Ra, who could be called the master of Heliopolis.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s not like that.’
If they are being noisy, just block the channel.
Although it is a bit regrettable to have taken away the arrangement that was so hard to prepare, Se-un acquired it as a proper reward for the ordeal.
It’s all Capri’s fault for hiding the arrangement so clumsily.
Of course, if it was not Seun but another player, even if he discovered the arrangement, he would not have been able to enter.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, laughs at the bug, saying it was a good thing it recorded the 33rd floor’s ordeal.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, disappears, putting the crystal ball in its bosom, saying it will be viewed later.
It’s a recording function.
Mammon’s warehouse had such a wide variety of treasures that it was only natural that there would be more than enough of them.
I thought about it and it seemed like it would be quite useful, so I engraved its existence in my head.
Because I thought it would be possible to borrow enough to modify the contract.
[ Hanareum: Wow, what is this? There are so many different kinds of strange trees scattered around? It’s a wood party! ]
[Handaun: Huh? Aren’t you talking about the 33rd floor? It’s completely muddy here.]
[Yoo Seo-ah: It seems like you’re entering a different trial through each passage. Everyone, please look at the names of the trials and choose wisely.]
[Park Jeong-pil: ‘The Last of the Treasure Hunters’, is it good?]
I checked the clan chat and it seems like other people are also slowly entering the 33rd floor.
There was also Yu Seo-ah’s advice, but for the most part, they figured out the type of passage and chose well on their own.
‘By the way, this is the last of the treasure hunters… … .’
The path chosen by Park Jeong-pil.
That was the passage Seun had chosen before returning.
Compared to other trials, the difficulty level is not that high, and above all, the reward you get at the end is so useful that Seun used it for a long time before his return.
It was a cleverly hidden passage that was discovered as a guidepost for the journey, but it seems that they managed to find it.
Although I feel uneasy for no reason, Park Jeong-pil’s fighting style is similar to Se-un’s before his return, so the reward will suit him well.
‘I guess I should go up first.’
Now that I’ve discovered the hidden arrangements, there’s no reason to stay here.
Since we had already figured out the location of the escape route by moving here, we arrived at our destination easily.
It was a secret staircase-like passage leading up to the ground, and as soon as I stepped onto the first step, a message confirming the end of the ordeal appeared.
Since the 33rd floor trial is a trial with a lot to gain, the system is considerate of the player and reconfirms whether or not they want to finish the trial.
However, Se-Woon nodded because he had already decided to end the ordeal.
– You have successfully completed the 33rd floor trial, ‘Tomb of Sunrise’.
– Calculating public figures… … .
– Total accumulated merit points: 300,000 points
– Congratulations! You passed the 33rd floor trial with the highest ranking.
– You have earned 100,000 points as a reward.
I was able to finish the ordeal with an excellent result of being ranked number one.
If it was natural, it was a natural number.
No matter how great the other trials may be, they cannot compare to the trials that the God of the Sunrise created by pouring his power into them.
Moreover, Seun not only took care of the arrangements, but also defeated the Pharaoh who was guarding the arrangements.
It was natural that extra points would be added.
– Would you like to move to the Diablo Clan residence?
Before moving on to the next trial, Seun headed towards his residence.
This ‘Underground’ theme was because the 33rd floor trial was over, and there was one thing I had to do along with matching the attack speed with my clan members.
A message that came to mind after finishing work at the fourth shelter.
– The Diablo Clan’s feat has exceeded the maximum value.
– Diablo Clan’s upgrade conditions have been met.
It is time to elevate the Diablo Clan from a small gathering of ‘clans’ to a ‘guild’, an organization that is beginning to truly demonstrate its power.
