Episode 269 Gangma Ritual
There are two ways for the beings in the upper levels of the tower to appear.
The first is when you come down to the bottom of the tower of your own volition.
Although it was evaluated as a double-edged sword because it required a huge amount of coins or relics to be sacrificed, it was the most active method.
And the second is that the beings on the lower level use specific places or offerings to summon those on the upper level.
Like right now.
Kukukukukuku!
A huge magic circle appeared throughout the ruins.
“Keeeeee…….”
“Kyaaaaaaaa!”
The monster statues stumbled and fell.
Like entering a huge furnace. The body began to melt and seep into the magic circle.
“Uh… Hyung Park. I’m dizzy? This feels… something’s strange.”
“I also don’t listen to my body very well….”
The Dangun Guild’s raiders also dropped their weapons and shields.
“Everyone, come to your senses! You can’t fall asleep. If you do, you’ll all die!”
Park Jeong-jin tried to protect his colleagues by using sacred magic, but it was useless in the face of powerful magic.
My vision is blurred.
Sensation in the hands and feet disappears and thinking becomes dull.
Coo!
thud!
one two.
Everyone fell unconscious.
However, Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min had not lost their minds yet.
“Nuh-uh, sister. This thing is sucking up magic power.”
“Damn it! Oppa! I’ll take the others and get out first. You can leave the rest to me, right?”
If things continue like this, you will be punished.
You have to get out before it’s too late.
“I think I can somehow achieve this number with my gravity magic.”
Maria also used her eyes to estimate the number of people and their remaining magical power.
thank god.
Because there are three people.
Thanks to this, we were able to prevent senseless victims.
Above all, you don’t have to show ‘that’.
“Don’t worry. Go first. I’ll take care of it from now on.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
“Did I say I would send you people who will be valuable nutrients?”
Tristan drew his sword.
Sreung!
With a dazzling flash of sword light, the demon’s unique magical energy condensed through the blade.
but. Just before the demon energy is released.
Fuuuuuuu!
Tristan’s body was engulfed in huge flames.
“Pfft!”
The magic energy that had gathered was scattered.
“Do you have time to worry about that? Wouldn’t it be better to focus on the Gangma ritual?”
“You… don’t waste your magic power. Even if you don’t struggle, no one can survive here anyway.”
As long as you are inside the ruins, no matter how much you run away, you are a rat in a poison.
The moment a titular demon appears, players and other players will turn into a handful of dust and scatter away just by encountering them.
And the sacrifice that will play the greatest role in the cause is… … .
Tristan picked up the witch’s severed arm.
“Let go, let go! Surely, you didn’t want to sacrifice the humans here and perform a ritual! But why…!”
The severed arm struggled wildly.
“Originally, I was planning on doing that, but since you couldn’t take care of that human and the rest of the players, the terms of the contract will have to be different.”
The offerings here alone are not enough to summon strong demons.
There needs to be at least the life of the witch who rules these ruins for the story to be told.
“I’m just going to die… as a sacrifice? Me?”
“Isn’t it a fitting death? Becoming a consumable for great magic would be the ideal end for a witch.”
Tristan placed his arm at the center of the magic circle.
OK.
Kukukukukuku!
The purple flames slowly began to eat away at the flesh.
“Kwaaah!”
The screaming didn’t last long.
What little flesh was left soon turned to ash and completely disappeared.
And at that very moment.
Tiring!
[The boss of the ruins, ‘Wailing Witch’, has disappeared!]

[94% contribution to killing the boss monster was recognized!]
[Successful in copying the unique ability ‘Black Tears’.]
[Black tears]
Difficulty of obtaining: SSS
Content: Black Tears are a unique ability used by the Wailing Witch, the owner of the ‘Tomb of the Antichrist’ ruins located on the 15th floor. She has both the mental ability to pollute and degenerate anything she touches, and the physical ability to devour her enemies whole. Additionally, Black Tears can ‘evolve’ if certain conditions are met.]
[Your level has risen!]
[Your level has risen!]
[The level is… … .]
[…] … It has risen!]
[‘Witch’s Secret Book’ has been acquired.]
[‘Screaming Apple’ has been obtained.]
[…] … Obtained.]
A number of items appeared along with a message indicating level up.
However, there was no time to check how much level was raised or what items were dropped.
‘Is it finally coming?’
Jinhyuk swallowed his dry saliva.
***
Wooooow!
Following the indescribable halo of light, a ferocious demonic energy whose depth could not be measured rose.
Go, go, go!
A cold feeling passing through the skin.
There is no need to check.
A named demon with a title was coming over here.
“Oooh!”
Tristan let out an exclamation of emotion.
As if he had been compensated for all the pain and suffering he had endured, even a single tear was flowing from his trembling eyes.
Damn, if anyone saw it, they would think that even my dead ancestors were coming back alive.
It’s shocking to see the completely blank expression on his face.
It was right then.
A cheerful male voice was heard through the fog.
“Kyaaa! It’s been a long time since I felt the air down there. Hahaha. Yes, this is it. It’s very fresh. It’s the taste I really missed.”
Black horns and emerald eyes.
An exotic looking young man with black hair and white skin walked out.
Jinhyuk reflexively activated ‘Eyes of Gluttony’.
[Name: Hargan / Title: Count / A mid-level demon.]
[The level of the Eye of Gluttony is too low to check its unique abilities, skills, copy conditions, etc.]
The only information that can be confirmed with the ‘Eye of Gluttony’ is at most the person’s name and position.
But that alone is enough.
“A lowly servant meets a great being.”
Tristan quickly bowed his head.
“Okay, okay. It was a lot of hard work. I’m already a little sore, but thanks to you, I think I’ll be able to relax properly.”
“I’m just grateful that you said that.”
“But what is that guy again? Why is he raising his head stiffly when talking about humans?”
Hargan’s eyes turned to Jinhyuk.
“The author is the one who is trying to sabotage us and ruin the great people’s plans. Many of our comrades have already lost their lives at the hands of the author.”
“Hmm. That guy?”
“Yes. He must be killed immediately. He is very dangerous.”
Tristan glared at Jinhyuk with eyes filled with hostility.
“Wow. I’m really excited that a reliable demon has appeared. Well, if it’s an earl-level demon, it’s worth it.”
A monster that makes you shiver just by encountering it.
Clearly, he is an absolute being far beyond the player’s level.
But did you know what?
“You are not the only one who can summon demons.”
It is true that the tomb of the Antichrist is a place where demons can appear, but there is not necessarily only one target.
“Actually, there’s this leech-like guy who’s interested in me too.”
They’re probably still watching… … .
As expected, sparks erupted in the air.
[The godhead ‘Rotting Heart’ yawns.]
Hey!
You can’t be rude here.
Jinhyuk urgently waved his hand in the air.
Are you watching? I know you’re watching, so act like you know.
However, no matter how much Jinhyuk pretended to know, the guy only sent indirect messages filled with annoyance and showed no signs of moving.
Anyway, my butt is so heavy.
“Hoo. Are you saying you were a human being favored by demons?”
Hargan giggled with interest.
“It’s a big deal to say I’m a favorite, but I’m receiving a few love calls.”
“It looks like he caught a rotten rope somewhere. Well, if he’s a demon who shows interest in a human who’s still a young chick, he’s probably a worthless bastard. At most, he’s at the level of a baron or viscount? Whatever it is, that’s the level of a guy who sponsors this kind of trash. Likewise, it must be nothing more than trash…”
Hargan, who was speaking, suddenly stopped.
“……?”
just now. I felt something creepy.
A powerful magical power that feels as if your entire body is being torn apart.
Someone who had been pretending not to notice reacted to the word ‘garbage’.
“What, what is this absurd Magi?”
Hargan was startled and took a step back.
[The godhead ‘Rotting Heart’ nods his head towards Hargan.]
[I ask what class of Demon World Military Academy you graduated from.]
It merely revealed a feeble presence.
However, that alone was more than enough to completely change the air.
“You bastard! Who on earth are you to ask such a thing? Show your identity right now!”
[The deity ‘Rotting Heart’ orders you to answer only the questions asked.]
Hargan’s body shrank again.
I never thought words could have such strong authority.
… … I just can’t resist.
Hargan, who realized that the situation was going strangely, slowly opened his mouth.
“Me, I am the 3537th unit. I also earned the rank of count there.”
Hmm. 3537 units.
I don’t know the details of the Demon World situation, and I don’t know if this is high or low.
If you look at the confident way you speak, it seems like you’re closer to the high end.
“Beriel. What school are you from?”
Jinhyuk asked into the sky.
[The deity ‘Rotting Heart’ spreads three fingers.]
Hey.
This is totally popcorn angle.
***
Because the demons are so warlike, their ranks change frequently.
Should we say that there are no tribes with such active inflow and outflow?
Among them, Beriel was so closed-minded that many demons did not know about him.
of course.
Since that level has been revealed to some extent, even the most insensitive demon can’t help but feel that Beriel’s level is outside the standard.
From the moment I found out that this was a holy place, I had planned to create the current situation.
Fortunately, everything worked out the way we wanted.
‘It would have been slightly dangerous if Hargan hadn’t called Beriel trash.’
It is an undeniable fact that luck was on our side.
If the wayward Beriel hadn’t helped me, I would have had to go one-on-one with Hargan.
Well, by the way.
Now it’s time to finish.
Jinhyuk approached Tristan, who was frozen in a daze.
Hargan, who had been completely sorted out in rank, returned to the demon world with his tail tied.
Tristan has become a completely empty sack of barley.
It’s a little sad to see the soul lost like this, but the misfortune is not over.
“It’s already troublesome to be so frustrated, but you haven’t forgotten, right? That Hargan, fooled by your foolish actions, won’t stay still?”
“You’re saying you won’t stay still?”
“Of course. You’ve been bullied, so there’s no way you can stay still, right?”
“This isn’t my fault… it’s not. I couldn’t have predicted it either…”
“I’m sorry, but that’s not important to him. He just needs someone to vent his anger on.”
This is why contracts with demons are not made carelessly.
Because the game could turn over at any time depending on my mood.
Unless you have about 100 lives ready… … well.
You will never survive for long.
“That’s… impossible.”
Tristan’s face turned into a blank slate.
“W-what should I do?”
How can I do it?
“First, kneel down.”
Let’s talk about it later.
An evil smile appeared on Jinhyeok’s lips.
