Episode 176
Chapter 1
Han Jeong-ah, who had been waiting from afar, listened quietly, holding her breath.
The sound of conversation had long since stopped.
The sound that Han Jeong-ah was hearing just now was quite eerie.
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.
Between the lines, ugh, stop, ugh.
I heard such strange sounds, but they were all buried in the previous sounds. Han Jeong-ah isn’t stupid.
There’s no way I don’t know what this means.
It’s the sound of a slaughter.
Tear flesh and crunch bones.
Han Jeong-ah walked slowly. And she could see.
Now, a blond man who doesn’t even move an inch. Honestly, when I first saw him, I knew that his hair was originally blond because I knew what color it was, otherwise I would have mistaken it for red.
It was covered in blood, and the man’s whole body was twisted.
The expression was difficult to describe.
Should I say that the face that has suffered all the pain is a dead face?
Jin Shi-hoo, who had once again punched her in the back, slowly stood up from his seat.
Then he took a puff from the cigarette he had halfway through and threw it into the puddle of blood.
Jin Shi-hoo said, turning his head.
“Oh, you’re here?”
“… … Yes. You’re done.”
“Yeah, I’m done. The kid is a bit too stupid. The guy I saw in the Abyss before didn’t let his guard down, but this guy was different.”
Jin Shihou looked genuinely disappointed now.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone die without even being able to show a third of their strength. It’s not just pathetic, it’s also a little refreshing.”
however.
“You said you saw it once ‘before’?”
“I didn’t say anything, but I wasn’t the one who killed the Imoogi in Tokyo Abyss.”
Actually, it was already a past story, so there was no need to talk about it at length.
Han Jeong-ah, who was fully convinced, took out a towel from her inventory and wiped the blood off Jin Shi-hoo’s hand.
It was an artifact that added mana, so the blood just drained away. My hands automatically became soft as if lotion had been applied.
Jin Shihou looked around silently.
It was a mess.
Inside the broken room, Jin Shihou seemed to have discovered something.
Both eyes narrow.
There was a crack in the corner of the room.
I walked slowly towards it.
It wasn’t said, but the thickness of the broken wall was almost 5 meters.
It’s not even just concrete.
The outer 1m was concrete, but the 2m behind it was unidentified ore, and the remaining 2m behind that was also unidentified ore. At first glance, it was a hard ore that wouldn’t even get scratched by a moderate impact.
Jin Shihou stared blankly at the ore fragments.
“Is this adamantium?”
Han Jeong-ah, who was behind her, raised her hand and picked up the ore fragment.
Information about the ore enters her two eyes.
It was written like this.
[Adamantium]
[Rank: Legendary (Best)]
[If you refine it from an extremely heavy ore and make a weapon, you can create the world’s best weapon.]
It was a light explanation.
Han Jeong-ah nods.
“Yes, it’s adamantium.”
Then Jin Shihou pointed to the two pieces of ore alternately.
“This and this, they’re the same adamantium, but the strengths are different. Let’s check.”
I checked the information right away.
One was the same as the previous information, but the other one was a little different.
[Mithril]
[Rating: ???]
[A divine ore created by refining the legendary ore adamantium by a blacksmith with the power of a god.]
“… … It’s Mithril. I can’t confirm the grade.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Jin Shihou turned the Heavenly Sword he was holding around here and there before handing it over to Han Jeong-ah.
“Would you like to check this out?”
There was no reason to refuse.
It was a long sword, and its very appearance was breathtakingly beautiful.
Checking out the information, honestly, I’ve always wanted to do it, but I never thought I’d get the chance like this.
I quickly checked the information.
[Breaking the Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds]
[Rating: ???]

[Your level does not allow you to verify the information.]
“… … I can’t confirm it with my level.”
“I see.”
“But, the name of this sword is ‘Cheonha Sword’?”
“huh.”
“… … The name is ‘Pacheonman-gye’.”
“Pacheonman-gye? Was there such a name in Cheonhageom?”
“Yes. It’s a very unique name… … . Ten thousand worlds that will shatter the sky… … I think it means something like that? Or not? Ten thousand broken worlds? I don’t know. The name is strange.”
“Umm… … .”
“Did you pick up this sword by any chance?”
Jin Shihou nods.
“I don’t remember exactly when, but I stole it from Dragon Lord Lair. It was said to be a sword used by some ancient god. It was called the Heavenly Sword, or God’s Judgement, or something like that. Its original name was Pacheonmangye.”
Jin Shi-hoo muttered something a little odd, then smiled brightly.
“Just in case, take some of that mithril and some adamantium. I’ll take some too.”
Secondly, there is another common space beyond the common space.
It is an extraordinary ore at first glance.
It would be a shame to just ignore this and leave.
That was when.
Tiring!
[The point difference between the Red and Blue camps is over 100,000).]
[Even if the final reward is obtained, it will be difficult for the Red faction to turn things around, so the Abyss will end in 10 minutes.]
[The winner of this Abyss competition is the Blue faction.]
[100,000 achievement points will be awarded to all awakened members of the Blue Faction.]
[If you wish to leave, please leave early.]
[If you do not leave on time, you will be at a great disadvantage.]
[The countdown begins.]
[09:59]
[09:58]
[09:57]
Han Jeong-ah told Jin Shi-hoo all the messages that had just appeared with a complicated expression.
Jin Shihou bursts into laughter.
“Look at this. Can you see what’s there?”
“… … Would you like to check inside?”
“Uh. I’m thinking about doing it, but why? I don’t want to do it.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s that I’m anxious.”
“Why are you anxious?”
“… … Competitive Abysses have appeared quite a lot so far. In my case, I’ve played through the Competitive Abyss on the highest difficulty 11 times, and during those 11 times, no one has been able to break the wall.”
“why?”
“… … Because it doesn’t break.”
Jin Shihou immediately understood those words.
The reason these ores are exposed like this now is because of the fight between Jin Shihou and the editor.
It is a mineral that requires that level of impact to break.
“curious?”
Han Jeong-ah nodded.
It’s true that I was curious about what the inside was like.
So the two headed to another open space.
Jin Shi-hoo suddenly asked, perhaps out of curiosity.
“Are there many secret spaces like this in the Abyss?”
“There are many. Most of them were nothing special… … .”
Han Jeong-ah’s eyes widen as she follows Jin Shi-hoo and checks the inside of the other cavities within the cavity.
“… … This is real.”
The name of this Abyss is [A Scientist’s Laboratory].
So what on earth was the scientist experimenting with?
There are roughly thirty rooms within the Abyss.
There are countless chimeras in those thirty rooms, so judging by these circumstances, it is only natural to assume that what the scientist experimented on was chimeras.
That’s common sense.
However, there was no chimera in the secret room before my eyes.
There is nothing like a chimera.
There was a small desk there, and on the desk was a notebook, presumably a diary, and a box, securely locked.
It was when Jin Shi-hoo walked over there and looked at the note.
[‘Crystal of Grudge’ would like to make you a suggestion.]
Han Jeong-ah tilted her head.
The embodiment of resentment?
To be honest, it was the first time I heard of that constellation.
[‘Crystal of Grudge’ gifts you an F-rank item.]
[Would you like to receive it? Y/N]
There was no reason not to accept it.
So I pressed the yes button. A light gathered in front of Han Jeong-ah’s eyes.
It was a piece of paper.
That paper was also written in Korean.
After confirming the contents, Han Jeong-ah could only stand there, dumbfounded, as if she was nailed to the spot.
Jin Shi-hoo approached Han Jeong-ah.
“what’s the matter?”
“… … One of the constellations sent me this paper.”
Jin Shihou glanced at the paper.
Then he tilts his head.
“Is this okay?”
It was only natural that this question would arise.
The paper read:
[I will become your sponsor if you promise to unlock it and spread the contents on ‘agar’.]
It was strange.
“I don’t know much about it, but is it really possible to trade the background for something so easy as that?”
“As far as I know, there is no such case. But it is not like it cannot be changed.”
“okay?”
“Yes. In order to replace the backstory, the existing backstory must sever its contract with the incarnation. Since the backstory is now empty, if another backstory fills that spot, it is essentially a replacement.”
“Cutting off the contract? That wasn’t that hard.”
“Yes. Since it was a one-sided contract from the beginning, if the backstabber wants to, they can break it. However, if I were to become the backstabber, my existing backstabber [the general who died in a heroic fire] would have to break his contract with me… … That wouldn’t be easy from a common sense perspective. It’s not like I’m not on good terms with him.”
That was when.
Another piece of paper flies in.
It said this:
[It doesn’t matter. If I want to do it, it will happen without any problem.]
Jin Shihou said a word.
“You have great confidence.”
To elaborate a little more, it wasn’t just confidence that was great.
In reality, Han Jeong-ah’s backstory, [The General Who Burned to Death], was not saying a word. It was like he was completely oppressed by [The Crystallization of Resentment].
“… … Are you okay, General?”
The answer comes right away.
[The ‘general who died a heroic death by burning’ sighs helplessly.]
I still don’t know who or what it is, but it certainly doesn’t seem like an unfounded confidence.
It goes without saying that the higher-ranking constellation [General who died a heroic death by burning] couldn’t even make a sound.
“Are you worried?”
Han Jeong-ah nodded at Jin Shi-hoo’s words.
“Shouldn’t you know what you can get before that?”
This was also true.
The letters written in the diary were letters that Han Jeong-ah could not read, and the box is now on the desk.
Aside from the passing of time, this is definitely something to think about carefully.
Jin Shihou’s words were not wrong.
Soon, another piece of paper comes down.
Jin Shihou said a word.
“It’s like we’re pen pals or something.”
