Episode 187
Same time.
Min Jin-ho, the poisonous one, was tapping the handle of the chair he was sitting on with his index finger.
“So, two castles were taken away without even being able to mount a proper counterattack?”
And in this short time?
“……sorry.”
“Ha, this is ridiculous.”
Does this make sense right now?
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t understand it.
Is it possible to withstand all the poisons installed in the castle without any problems?
It is impossible to simply raise the level.
To withstand that level of poison, you must possess a skill that provides immunity to poison.
‘I don’t know anyone with that level of immunity skills.’
Who the hell is this?
That was when.
One of the officers who was supposed to be guarding the outside of the castle came in urgently.
“Guild Master! There are people coming to raid the castle!”
“attack?”
“yes!”
“… … It must be him, without a doubt.”
Min Jin-ho stood up from his seat.
The guy who took two castles from Dokjeon.
I was curious about that damn guy’s face.
* * *
We arrived at the large castle in the east where the leader of the poisonous kingdom had taken up residence.
The two castles that were definitely taken were huge castles that cannot even be compared.
“Master, shall we begin right away?”
“That’s right.”
“All right!”
Michael led the ghosts and began to attack the castle barrier.
A barrier with much higher defensive power than the previous one.
Because of that, it took longer than expected to destroy the barrier.
‘Min Jin-ho.’
Meanwhile, Min Jin-ho appeared on the castle wall.
The corners of Jeonghoon’s mouth went up in a smirk.
“It came out.”
Jeong-Hoon pulled the trigger and aimed it at Min Jin-Ho.
The ultimate arrow.
As I released the bow, the arrow shot out in a parabolic arc.
An arrow flying straight towards Min Jin-ho.
But the arrow hit the barrier before it could reach Min Jin-ho.
‘Your expression is quite something to see.’
Min Jin-ho’s expression was truly rotten.
He must have noticed that the arrow was aimed at him by looking at the direction it was flying from.
Dismissal. Dismissal. Dismissal.
A tiny crack appeared where the ultimate arrow had struck.
It was an arrow with 1,700% attack power, so it hit the barrier’s defense.
As the ghosts continued to strike the barrier with their weapons, the cracks in the barrier gradually widened.
Wow!
Soon the barrier was completely shattered.
NPCs were lined up in front of it.
There were so many NPCs blocking the path that it was incomparable to the castles that had fallen in the past.
“You go in first.”
“yes!”
Michael controlled the ghosts and passed the NPCs in one breath.
The role of this ghost is to stir up trouble among the users lurking in the castle.
Unlike the previous castles, there are over 100 guild members here, so it will be much more effective than Jeonghoon entering first.
In the meantime, Jeonghoon ran towards the NPC.
All the NPCs in the front line were holding shields.
Jeonghoon roughly grabbed one of the shields in front of him and pulled it away with force.
So he took a shield and used it to push through NPCs like a bulldozer.
“What power… …!”
“I can’t stop it!”
The NPCs were like fallen autumn leaves.
As I was breaking through the NPC, I noticed that there were 20 users lined up in front of me.
They were strong at close range while handling poison.
“What is this?!”
“It’s necromancy! There’s no other way to explain it!”

They were fighting ghosts.
Meanwhile, Jeong-Hoon approached them.
“I got caught!”
At that moment, one of the guild members threw a fist at Jeonghoon.
Then, a green liquid covered Jeonghoon.
[The Thousand Poisons Invincible ability is activated.]
[Not poisoned.]
But even this poison could not harm Jeong-Hoon.
Jeonghoon wiped the liquid off his face with his hand and swung his sword at the users.
With each swing, the users’ necks fell to the ground.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh… … !”
Jeonghoon quickly killed 20 users and entered the castle.
Likewise, the inside of the castle was full of poison.
[The Thousand Poisons Invincible ability is activated.]
[Not poisoned.]
If it weren’t for the unique grade invulnerability to poison, it would have been enough to kill him long ago.
“what……?”
“How can a level 226 martial artist resist poison… …?”
“Isn’t it normal for your face to turn pale?”
The users who had prepared the poison looked at Jeonghoon with dumbfounded faces.
“This level of poison won’t be enough to defeat me.”
Jeonghoon smiled faintly and slaughtered the users.
Certainly, it was a castle that Dokjeon had owned for a long time, so its size was large, but the scale of the poison was different.
Jeonghoon frowned at the continued poison party.
‘Your view is obstructed.’
Visibility was obscured by the thick poison gas inside the castle.
“Master! I will guide you!”
“okay.”
Jeong-Hoon went up the stairs to the upper floor guided by the ghosts.
During that process, whenever I saw users fighting ghosts, I quickly took their breath away.
When I entered the top floor, I was able to find Min Jin-ho, the head of the Dokjeon Guild.
Min Jin-ho greeted Jeong-hoon as if he had been waiting for him.
“… … You’re here.”
Just a little while ago, when I was standing on the wall.
An arrow flew in a parabolic arc.
Even though it was blocked by the barrier, the arrow was clearly aimed at him.
Because of that, Min Jin-ho was in a very bad mood.
At first glance, he appears to be a level 226 martial artist.
I couldn’t believe I got my ass kicked by that guy.
Jeonghoon chuckled.
“Nice to meet you. Guild Leader Min Jin-ho.”
“Are you aiming for the flag?”
Min Jin-ho nodded.
A flag was planted there.
To capture this castle, you must pull down that flag.
Honestly, Jeong-Hoon was confident that he could pull out that flag at any moment.
The goal is to give Michael instructions to draw their attention while forcibly pulling out the flag.
But that option wasn’t on my mind.
“There’s that too… … First, we have to defeat you, the poisoner.”
“I see.”
Min Jin-ho nodded as if he had expected it.
Don’t let your guard down.
He is not a member of a large group, and he is a single person who has climbed to the top floor.
In the process, most of the guild members were wiped out.
‘It’s a stomach.’
Level and occupation.
I heard there is a way to disguise it.
I wasn’t paying attention because there was no need to disguise myself, but I was curious to see someone disguised like this.
Min Jin-ho, the poisoner, wiggled his fingers and activated his skill.
It releases a deadly poison throughout the castle.
A neurotoxin that even guild members who are adept at dealing with poisons cannot withstand.
It was a poison that only he who had completed his 4th job advancement could withstand.
Pusheeeek-
A cloud of poisonous fog descended from the top floor, accompanied by the sound of gas leaking.
[You are poisoned.]
[The Thousand Poisons are partially successful in resisting.]
[Your vitality is slowly decreasing!]
The corners of Jeonghoon’s mouth twitched once.
‘Is it really impossible to be invincible with just one poison?’
As expected from the leader of the poison cult, the power of the poison he used was beyond imagination.
However, compared to Min Jin-ho who had ascended to the heavenly realm before his return, he was just a drop in the bucket.
Jeonghoon lifted his sword and slowly aimed it at his neck.
“The poison is sharp. I will try to finish this quickly.”
“what……?”
At Jeong Hoon’s words, Min Jin Ho’s pupils shook like crazy.
It’s not that I’m scared by his warning.
The poison he is drinking now is a deadly poison that destroys nerves and takes away life.
It’s a deadly poison that even guild members who are good at handling poisons can’t handle for more than 30 seconds, so how can you survive after drinking it?
Pot!
Jeonghoon jumped out of his seat and leapt forward.
Min Jin-ho clapped his hands in a hurry, putting distance between himself and his new method.
Then, purple liquid spurted out like a fountain from all over the floor.
[You are poisoned.]
[The Thousand Poisons are partially successful in resisting.]
[Your vitality decreases more quickly!]
As the poison overlaps, the rate at which vitality decreases increases.
[Use advanced healing.]
[Life is not restored properly.]
Although I was able to recover some of my vitality through healing, it wasn’t completely restored.
“It wasn’t for nothing that you took my last name twice. You’re the first one to last this long.”
Min Jin-ho looked at Jeong-hoon with a relaxed expression.
Two poisons have already been combined.
I don’t know how he’s holding up, but his vitality must be dwindling.
As evidence, Jeong-Hoon’s complexion was gradually getting worse.
“… … .”
But the corners of Jeonghoon’s mouth were still raised.
“Why are you being so relaxed?”
Min Jin-ho furrowed his brows as if he didn’t like that.
“It’s funny to guarantee victory.”
“what?”
“Then I will go properly too.”
[Blackfield is activated.]
[All abilities are adjusted by 1.5 times.]
[All abilities of monsters that invade the area due to the influence of Blackfield are reduced by 10%.]
After the cooldown has passed, you can now deploy Black Field.
Jeong Hoon’s ability increased by 1.5 times, while Min Jin Ho’s ability decreased by 10%.
The floor was stained black, and a black hand came up and grabbed Min Jin-ho’s ankle.
“What is this!”
“To put it simply, it is a hallucination.”
Jeonghoon smiled and kindly explained about Blackfield.
‘If only I could equip the original equipment, I could’ve finished it in no time.’
It was a shame that I could only wear siege equipment.
Jeonghoon spread his magic and ran towards him.
“Ugh!”
Min Jin-ho tried to use poison again, but Jeong-hoon’s sword moved a beat faster than him.
Crunch.
Min Jin-ho’s right wrist fell to the floor with an eerie cutting sound.
“uh……?”
Min Jin-ho looked down at his wrist on the floor with a blank expression.
It was a speed on a whole other level than before.
“It was a good fight.”
This time, Jeong-Hoon really cut off Min Jin-Ho’s head.
Dengurur-
His neck fell to the ground and rolled around.
“Master! May I pull out that flag?”
Michael, who had been watching from hiding, revealed himself.
Jeonghoon shook his head.
“It’s not over yet.”
Jeonghoon quickly retrieved his sword, took out his bow, and drew the string.
“… … You’re a quick-witted guy.”
Min Jin-ho, whose neck was cut off, did not disappear and was looking at Jeong-hoon.
Then, the surroundings began to light up and poison rushed towards Jeong-Hoon, sticking close to his body.
The sticky feeling was really unpleasant.
‘Is it poisonous?’
The strongest skill handled by Min Jin-ho.
Extremely poisonous.
This is a skill that focuses all the poisonous energy spread around on the target and quickly cuts off the target’s airway.
[You are poisoned.]
[The Thousand Poisons are partially successful in resisting.]
[Your vitality is rapidly decreasing!]
Despite the resistance of the Thousand Poisons and the Bulchim, the vitality begins to drain away.
[Use advanced healing.]
[Life is not restored properly.]
Jeonghoon filled his vitality a little with advanced healing.
“Let’s just end it.”
And then I let go of the protest I had been holding.
The arrow struck the ceiling.
A heavenly strike.
A rain of arrows fell upon the ground.
Then, the poisons that had been rushing towards Jeonghoon dispersed again.
“Kwaaak!”
This is because a rain of arrows poured down on Min Jin-ho, who was hiding in the welcome area.
Although Poison is a very powerful skill, its drawbacks are clear.
The thing is, you can’t move your body while controlling the poison.
That’s why he created a clone in advance, hid in the illusion, and poisoned Jeong-hoon.
That’s the reason why Min Jin-ho is fine even if you cut off his head.
Later, Min Jin-ho succeeded in eliminating all of those fatal flaws, but not now.
Jeonghoon protested again.
Because the illusion was broken by the rain of arrows, his true form was revealed.
“Goodbye.”
As soon as he released the drawn string, an arrow was shot at Min Jin-ho.
Phew!
The arrow hit Min Jin-ho’s head squarely.
“Ugh!”
Min Jin-ho’s head snapped and he fell down.
Jeong-Hoon approached him with his sword and ended the fight by piercing his neck.
“It’s over.”
However, the poison still remained in Jeong-Hoon’s body.
Jeonghoon pulled out the flag, replenishing his lost vitality with divine power.
[The castle has fallen!]
With this, Dokjeon succeeded in capturing the castle that he considered most important.
‘With this, the overwhelming first place is confirmed.’
The corners of Jeonghoon’s mouth went up.
