Trait Hoarder Chapter 196

Episode 196: The Great Crack -2-

I got my Star Spawn suit back from Kali.

He put on his tracksuit and spoke to the three of them.

“From here on out, you guys have to go your own way. Do you remember the direction?”

“yes.”

“Go back as far as you can. There are no monsters around here, so you’ll be fine. Don’t let your guard down.”

I gave away the telescope, detector, teleportation magic chip, speed magic chip, and great escape magic chip that I had bought in Seoul before.

The Dark Jaguar Order periodically sweeps away monsters in this area.

If there are three, we can move quietly.

Baek So-rin stared at me.

“What about the teacher?”

“I’m going to lure the monster inside and take it away.”

“Oh, then… … .”

“Yeah. I plan on fighting the other world.”

The descendant of the star that mutated Kali is level 7.

It’s not just a simple level 7 monster, it’s a dungeon boss.

Corpse dragon added.

Because it’s an episode boss, not a dungeon boss.

A level higher than the Nephilim I caught in the Great Labyrinth and the golden dragon I hunted while obtaining the Golden Fleece.

“be careful.”

“It’s too dangerous.”

“Hey. Let’s just do that. Is it just a day or two that our teacher doesn’t take care of himself?”

“It’s a heavenly body. A heavenly body.”

“Now that I think about it, that’s true. Teacher. Does the Heavenly Demon Body need to overcome dangers to level up or something? Sometimes, when I look at it, it seems even worse than the Heavenly Killer.”

I laughed at the sound of his grumbling, worried voice.

I waved my hand once and used my stealth trait.

“See you later. Move as fast as you can. If you move slowly, you’ll get eaten by a monster.”

“Ugh, I got it.”

“You go first.”

“yes!”

The three of them set off, counted to 100 in their heads, and then began their actions.

Stealth is just concealment, not invisibility.

The good news is that this gray space is difficult to get a watch on.

Approach with as little noise as possible.

To a giant beast bone fortress that floats like a giant eyeball.

‘It was here.’

It’s a fortress made of intertwined animal bones, so there are gaps here and there.

The Dark Jaguar Order has fortified its fortress with magical barriers, but the energy of the Great Rift periodically erodes the barriers.

One of them.

I checked the hole in the corner of the fortress.

‘Okay.’

There is a hole big enough for a person to pass through.

Looks like it hasn’t been repaired yet.

Approach calmly and observe the interior with your ear.

Beyond the laser security line, invisible to the naked eye, a guard was seen dozing off.

‘The shift change was one hour?’

In response to the periodic breaches, the Dark Jaguar Cult responded with laser surveillance devices, CCTV, and guards.

But failure often occurs in what people do.

After several decades of monsters entering through the hole, surveillance had become lax.

“Hey, Mark!”

“Hey hey hey! Eww, is it shift change time?”

“Oh. You’ve worked hard.”

“You have a hard time too. I wish you could hurry up and change shifts so you can get out of here.”

“That’s right. It really drives people crazy.”

About 30 minutes later.

A new guard would take his place.

I start nodding off almost as soon as I sit down.

It was exactly three minutes later that I took action.

I squeezed my body like a mollusk between the narrow laser guard lines.

This much is easy.

What are my abilities?

After taking the elixir of reconstruction twice, I had a body that was stronger than steel but softer than an octopus.

Next is the CCTV area.

It was fortunate that the CCTV was fixed in front of the guard so as not to illuminate the gray space of the Great Rift.

Pot!

“Huh?”

I jumped over it using blink.

The guard woke up feeling something strange, but hid himself.

He even pretended to be dead, hiding in the back of the hallway.

The guard looked around a few times and yawned lazily.

“Time really doesn’t pass… … .”

Then he buries his head again.

‘phew.’

This is my first time going undercover, so my heart is pounding.

You can’t kill them all and go in.

The power of the church here is also considerable.

At least, we should assume that it was hidden under the Han River.

I’ll be subduing the corpse dragon.

Proceed straight down the hallway.

There are the occasional hidden CCTV and laser security lines, but they can’t fool me.

I was reading everything with the help of the eyes, the nose, and the prophet’s ring.

Sometimes hunched over, sometimes clinging to the ceiling, they pass by CCTVs and laser security lines.

“How about a corpse dragon?”

“Same thing, whatever.”

“You’re really tough. How many years has it been?”

“It’s been almost 20 years. But I can see the end. They say they succeeded in waiting for 3 seconds.”

“3 seconds? That’s a success?”

“The key is 10 seconds. If you can subdue him for just 10 seconds, you can pour out your magic power and make him your subordinate. Then, the High Priest will come over as well.”

“And that day will be the day when our church takes an emergency.”

“Once the Dark Jaguar finds his rightful throne, we will all enjoy eternal life in the City of the Lake, the Land of the Sun.”

The chattering researchers move away.

I hid at the back of the hallway and glanced at them.

Even if you do that, it’s level 5.

Unless you are at least level 5, you will not be able to handle the aura of the Great Rift.

Slowly approach them.

Pass through the laser security line and CCTV area once.

As the researchers took out their card keys at the door, he approached quietly and wrapped his arms around their necks.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

Activates the suppression included in actual fighting.

The two researchers convulsed and fell to their knees.

Sorry, just think of it as bad luck.

If you didn’t want to die, you shouldn’t have believed in socialism in the first place.

I hope you’ll be happy in the next world.

‘where…….’

I took the researcher’s card key, eye socket, and finger.

The body was placed in a golf bag and disposed of.

As far as I know, you have to go through three security doors to get to where the corpse dragon is.

Up to the second time, it is possible with only a card key and biometric authentication.

What about the third one?

It’s impossible because of the magic security.

From there, we’ll have to break through by force.

Beep!

[Confirmed by Researcher Edmund Leighton.]

He passed through two security gates without any trouble.

The inside had a different atmosphere than the outside.

I would say it is an extremely modern research institute.

Metal walls and floors.

White fluorescent lights shining brightly from the ceiling.

Even the machine noise that can be heard without stopping.

Except for one thing.

“Goooooooo!”

A faint sound of crying.

My mind went blank for a moment and then came back.

The power contained in crying is trying to destroy the brain.

As the distance gets closer, they all work more strongly.

If he was that good even when subdued, he must have been no joke when he was in good health.

‘They’re all here.’

The final security gate was just around the corner.

Guards on patrol were also frequently seen.

Once you pass here, you won’t have time to catch your breath.

Just after the guards crossed.

I took advantage of the brief moment of distraction to complete the security authentication.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

As soon as the sound rings, the guards reflexively turn around.

“uh?”

“What are you!”

The door opened faster than they could react.

The card key security door and biometric authentication security door opened.

What remains is the thickest magic authentication security door.

[Giant’s Power][Magic Soul][One Thousand]

[Shield Strike][Destruction][Earth]

Aegis had already been deployed.

Infuses Earth characteristics.

Aegis was originally transparent, but turned white when divine power was injected into it.

Today was a little different.

Just like what we saw on Olympus, countless blue and yellow cubic particles sprouted up and became bumpy.

He just beat him up.

Kwaaaaang!

The iron gate crumples like a piece of paper.

Even the magic circle that was dozens of centimeters thick and reinforced couldn’t withstand my blow.

“Rain, damn it!”

“Shoot!”

“Kill him!”

Tata tata tang!

The guards belatedly open fire.

But it was too late.

I already passed through the broken iron gate.

A space appears that appears to be naturally open, but is actually surrounded by dozens of layers of defensive barriers.

The size is reminiscent of a soccer field.

A huge being is tied up.

This corpse dragon was created by combining countless corpses of other species.

The corpse dragon is writhing.

Every time, the corpses of other worlds also let out a terrible scream.

[Grrrrrrrr… … .]

A black rope was seen wrapping the corpse dragon tightly.

In the game, that rope was transformed into armor.

We haven’t gotten to that point yet.

Instead, we saw superhumans grabbing the rope.

A priest-type superhuman who draws out dark divine powers one by one.

When he saw me, his eyes widened.

“What, what is it!”

“Intruder! Intruder!”

“What are the guards doing!”

“Kill that guy right now!”

Did you just trust the guards outside?

There were only priests in the empty lot.

Magically speaking, that’s fine.

Because it is better for amplifying divine power than when other series are included.

Instead, you’ll have to pay the price today.

Tata tata tata tang!

Jump in.

Fires dual pistols in rapid succession.

Before I knew it, the trait set had changed.

Only with the Gunslinger series traits along with the Invincible Gun.

With that correction, the magic bullets passed through the priests right in front of them, as well as priests hundreds of meters away, without any hindrance.

“Cough!”

“Huh!”

“Eww!”

Priests are not immune either.

Each of them created a sacred shield and spread out a barrier to block the attack.

Instead, a fatal situation arose.

The rope holding it broke and the corpse dragon was released.

“Goooooooo!”

A strong dragon roar.

Because it is a corpse dragon, it is weaker than the golden dragon.

However, unlike me who spoke in tongues, the priests often lost their magic powers, went berserk, fainted, and vomited blood.

“Damn it!”

“no!”

“Run away!”

“What nonsense are you talking about! It needs to be resealed!”

“But, Your Majesty!”

“Resealing right away… … Kheuk!”

Will it work?

There are exactly 12 priests here.

4 people are level 6, 8 people are level 5.

These alone are not enough.

To deal with the dragon, it is essential to have warriors in the front to draw attention, have reinforcements to distract, and have firepower support from magicians.

No warriors to take the attack?

Are there only high-level warriors who cause trouble?

Then it becomes like this.

Ugh.

The priest was eaten.

To the corpse dragon that went berserk in anger.

Of course, the priests also used shields. Other priests also supported blessings and protection from a distance.

The problem was that I was there.

As I weakened the shield with a sniper rifle from a distance, the corpse dragon’s teeth crushed the shield in one breath.

“That guy! That guy!”

“We have to run away!”

“Kill him!”

As the alarm sounds and guards pour in, chaos spreads further.

Kwaaaaaaa.

Even the breath of the corpse dragon explodes there.

An attack that combines pure dark attribute magic and poison.

It was extremely strong, as it was a breath that had been stale for over 20 years.

The priests who were running around in confusion and the guards who rushed in with swords and guns all melted away helplessly.

The common walls and ceiling that bound the corpse dragon.

The magic circle that was being reinforced.

The barrier that had been built in dozens of layers was also completely destroyed.

“after!”

I also wiped away my blood, sweat and tears.

[Magic Defense][Indomitable][Area Defense]

[Magic Shield][Magic Armor][Magic Defense Shield]

Magic defense with dark defense.

Indomitable with poison resistance.

Here, we spread out Aegis and created a quadruple barrier to barely block it.

A serious blow even though the breath wasn’t directly directed.

Blood was running down my throat and my head was spinning.

‘There is a big difference because there is no upper attribute.’

It would have been easier to block the Golden Dragon Dragon King Flame.

Because of the black salt.

He shook his head once and ran out.

A state where internal injuries are completely healed with immortality and various recovery properties.

“Grrrrr.”

The corpse dragon looked at me, making a boiling sound.

“Eat this!”

Taang! Bang!

I fired a couple of shots with a large-caliber pistol.

And then he turns around and starts running away.

The Corpse Dragon’s breath had completely destroyed the fortress, so I could escape in any direction.

“Geuu …

As expected, the corpse dragon reacts like a machine.

After a long roar, it spreads its wings.

It slowly takes flight and chases me, flying low, almost as if floating.

good.

The speed is as seen in the game.

A little faster than a person can run.

Of course, it can be easily lured.

‘Let’s be careful.’

In my calculations, a crisis comes once.

That’s okay up to there.

Just once.

If you lure them late and the crisis comes twice, it will be difficult.

That means my design, my plan, was derailed.

Knock, knock!

Leave your worries behind and run.

The air strike, speed, acceleration, and movement series characteristics were pushing me forward.

I heard a squelch of air being sucked in from behind.

Breath attack.

A dark poisonous aura enveloped me, but I ignored it.

Because I gained invincibility time with the spirit transformation trait.

The breath you take while flying tends to have less intensity and duration.

According to my calculations, the corpse dragon’s breath also stopped before the incarnation was complete.

“Sir?”

“This way! This way!”

“Run! Run while using the magic chip!”

“Eww!”

At this point, we joined up with the three we had sent earlier.

The three broke the magic chip.

When the speed magic chip is activated, the speed increases significantly.

“Carly! Is this the right direction?”

“That’s right! I can hear whispering!”

Carly said, gulping down the holy water.

Telepathy is transmitted without the need for a star spawn because the distance has become shorter.

I was similar.

The Star Spawn protective suit has been wriggling for some time now.

quietly.

Secretly.

He has become aware of the presence of his own kind and is working stealthily.

To take my body.

‘Just a little more… … .’

A gloomy, spread-out gray space.

But if you look closely, you can distinguish the zones.

To discern the tangled patterns.

The area where I am is an area with repeating spiral patterns, like ammonite shells.

Coming soon.

Just a little bit further, just a little bit further, and you’ll reach your destination.

Descendants of level 7 stars.

A level 7 monster that will fight the corpse dragon.

Kwaaaaah.

A swooshing sound rose from behind.

I gritted my teeth.

Am I wrong?

Is it too late?

The Sora Tower should have appeared by now, but were the game and reality different?

That was when.

A huge tower appeared before my eyes like a mirage.

Because my field of vision was magically limited in the distorted space, I only now recognized the Sora Tower.

I shouted at the top of my lungs at my disciples.

“Use teleportation! Sideways!”

And then he flew away.

It broke the door of the Sora Tower like a cannonball and settled inside.

Kwakwakwakwa.

As I hid my body, a breath of darkness rushed in.

Melting and destroying the Sora Tower.

Gugugugu.

The Sora Tower is shaking as if it might collapse at any moment.

The defensive barrier works and countless magical lights rise, but it is useless.

The sand castle was slowly collapsing, being eroded by waves.

Then the reaction I had induced occurred.

[Who dares to persecute the descendants of the holy star ruler!]

Appearance of a level 7 star descendant.

The mental wave struck the corpse dragon.
