Episode 145 All-out war (2)
“29th floor… … Cough! It’s the 29th floor! It’s the 29th floor! Take it out now, please. “It looks like it’s going to sink!”
Ophelia screamed with the most desperate voice in the world.
“If it’s the 29th floor… … .”
An earthquake occurred in Jinhyeok’s pupils.
29th floor of the Tower of Trials.
How could you not know?
The place that Decassus and the other five families were targeting was one of the tiers ruled by the ‘Empire’.
‘This is making things fun.’
I knew they were up to something dirty, but I never expected the target to be the Empire.
If what this woman said was true, preparing such a powerful army made some sense.
‘It’s interesting that they’re targeting the stairs below where they are, but I’m even more curious as to why they’re targeting the empire that is strong in the back row.’
Perhaps a big fight awaits.
In fact, in addition to the anglerfish that Ellis had dealt with a moment ago, there are food spirits and more that are trying to come over from beyond the gate.
Jinhyuk opened his mouth again.
“What is the purpose of attacking the empire?”
“Cough, cough! what… … purpose?”
“Okay, purpose. There must be some reason why you’re aiming for the 29th floor, right? for example… … In order to reach the top of the tower, I want to weaken the power of the gods on the 48th floor and the lizard they control… … “That’s the reason I do it.”
Jinhyuk’s indifferent words.
“H-How did you do that!?”
Ophelia’s complexion turned completely white.
I gulped down a few sips of sea water, but there was no time to pay attention to it.
That’s why the words that came out of Jinhyeok’s mouth just now were words that should never have come out.
It’s a natural thing.
The upper level of the tower was information that even she, a blood relative of the Decasus family, did not know completely.
“It’s good to have lively reactions, but wouldn’t answering my questions even 1 second as quickly as that be a valuable step toward extending life?”
“I-I don’t know… … “I don’t know!”
“really? really? Hmm. “Can’t you still remember this?”
Hold! Hold!
Jinhyuk picked up a tree branch and pressed it hard on the top of Ophelia’s head.
The process of the head going down into the water and coming up again was repeated several times.
Grumble! Squeak!
It’s amazing that his attachment to life is so great that he keeps pouting his lips.
After all, this is why I hear vampires are tough.
“Save me… … foot… … .”
“What the f*ck?”
Did this thing drink a lot of water and then go crazy?
It was when Jinhyeok was trying to inject magical power into a tree branch out of selfish interest.
“foot… … Cough! Mm… … .”
The broken syllables in Ophelia’s mouth were connected.
Hoo.
I thought it was an insult. That wasn’t it.
An unexpected word was mentioned again.
Jinhyuk relaxed from the tree branch for a moment.
‘It’s Balmung…’ … .’
Since it was impossible to track his location, I wondered where he was by now and found out he was in the Empire.
If it is a dragon slayer sword classified as a top-class relic, it will certainly be able to inflict damage even on gods and ancient dragons on the upper levels of the tower.
Because it was not a relic that was rated sodomy for nothing.
Now it feels like the puzzles are finally coming together little by little.
“good. “It was very useful information.”
Killing Ophelia like this and leveling up could be an option, but unfortunately, they are careful to keep their promises.
Above all, Ophelia may be able to be used as a quite useful card in future encounters not only with the six families but also with the empire.
A rough plan was also drawn up in my head.
Jinhyuk took the tree branch.
As long as you don’t interfere with the climb, you will be able to survive on your own.
“I’ll call you later. ah! And it would be better not to think about running to the heads of the house and doing this.”
Among the family heads, there is one who has the ability to see through the ‘Sign of Flame’, so I didn’t brand him, but think about it carefully.
With the heads of the six prominent families.
I am one of them.
Which one is closer to the devil, and which one should be more feared?
“Hee, hee!”
Ophelia’s whole body trembled after reading his intention.
“I believe you would have understood if I had told you this.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly and held the sword in both hands once again.
Now, it is time to put an end to this fight.

A massive clash of magical powers and a brief gap that followed.
“… … Pfft!”
Ellis’ face crumpled.
Because of the magical power that was quickly depleted, the battle became more disadvantageous as time went by.
On the other hand.
“Whew. “Even with restrictions, it’s like this. I’m really sick of it.”
Unlike the first time, Michael seemed to have regained his composure considerably.
By avoiding a head-to-head match as much as possible, the battle became more and more one-sided, and eventually it reached a point where the odds of victory were somewhat lost.
“That cowardice hasn’t changed. Just like when you locked me in the corridor… … . “I want to rip that head off right now, but I just feel sorry for these restrictions that are tying my body.”
Ellis swallowed his anger with difficulty.
The pure white hair stained with dust and the blood flowing from the cheek looked particularly prominent.
“haha. Anyway, would you like it? “If it were you in your prime, I wouldn’t have been able to last even one minute and would have turned to dust.”
Jinjo is considered the strongest of all time.
Ellis von Ataraxia.
There was not a single vampire who did not know the meaning of that name.
Even noble gods and ancient species tried to avoid direct confrontation with Ellis.
but.
“Isn’t the important thing now? The exiled head of the Ataraxia family. “You shouldn’t have come out of there.”
“Do I have to stay locked in the dark forever? Just, my people… … No, because you were trying to keep the tower’s balance?”
“That’s the problem. “We have the strength and ability to go much further, so why should we settle for that foolish peace and balance and let our potential suffer?”
“50th floor… … can never be reached by anyone. Going to war for that means that everyone will die together. “I’m sure you know that too, right?”
“no. I don’t know. And the heads of the great families think the same as me.”
Michael drew the line.
Everything has already been planned.
Obsolete things that have been forgotten in the back of history are not qualified to discuss the future.
so that.
“Now I have to kill you and bring in the rest of the army. I’m asking you to please stop struggling so ugly. “Still, you went once, and I want to at least protect your honor on your final journey.”
Grumble!
A heavy energy completely enveloped Rapier’s entire body.
The quality and quantity of magical power.
Everything overwhelmed Ellis.
This is the last time.
By piercing the heart of the last obstacle that has lost its power, all goals descended to the 7th floor will be declared successful.
For sure… … .
It had to be that way.
however.
“Hey. This is disgusting again. It seems like you’ve been bragging for 24 hours a day that you’re one of the strongest in the world. “Seeing as how he can’t even beat that guy, I guess what he said back then meant that he was one of the strongest in the room?”
A new voice chimed in.
It was Jinhyuk.
＊＊＊
“you… … !”
Alice opened her rabbit eyes.
Since he promised to come to help, I expected him to join later.
no way. I didn’t know it would come this quickly.
This… … Isn’t it too fast?
This was also against blood relatives selected from the Decasus family.
I had already realized several times that Jinhyeok was amazing, but the more this happened, the more it broke my common sense.
and.
Michael was equally embarrassed by this situation.
‘stick… … ‘You mean you couldn’t hold on for 5 minutes?’
Ophelia and Bertion. I thought that just the two of us would be able to stop it.
No, I had considered the possibility of it being breached, but I never imagined that it would be breached so quickly.
at last.
This situation completely caught Michael off guard.
A perfectionist who always liked having every situation under control.
Therefore, Michael had no choice but to watch Jinhyuk approach Ellis.
“Wow, you’re the strongest person in the room! That’s because I’m limited. If you did it right… … .”
“know. great job.”
Jinhyuk lightly tapped Ellis’ injured shoulder.
Michael must have suffered some damage as well, so this is enough.
“You really want to fight alone? “It’s too much for you to do alone.”
“Does it look like that?”
“Of course!”
Obviously, a moment ago, we wouldn’t have been able to guarantee a 1:1 match.
No matter how much damage he had to his physical strength and magic power.
but.
‘It’s different now.’
Because I acquired ‘soul vampirism’ to gain an advantage in the fight.
“are you okay. “Leave the rest to me.”
Jinhyuk smiled.
at the same time.
[Recall ‘Memory of the World’.]
A golden parchment was spread out behind Jinhyuk’s back.
This is the Great Library that contains the truth of the world.
It is a treasure trove of unique abilities and skills collected while climbing the tower.
Pazzutz!
Dazzling sparks flew in all directions.
“This… … .”
Michael’s eyes narrowed.
Although he didn’t know exactly what Jinhyuk was trying to do, he recognized that something unusual was happening.
Quang!
Immediately Michael left his seat.
The energy raised to the limit erupted like lightning.
however. Jinhyuk was one step faster.
“I will fuse ‘Soul Vampirism’ and ‘Pull Soul Sword’.”
With the end of words.
[Convergence was successful!]
[You have acquired the skill ‘Spirit Sword (SSS)’!]
[Demon Soul Sword (魔魂劍)
Difficulty of obtaining: SSS
Contents: Tower of Trials, 21st floor. It is a martial arts technique taught only to demonic cult leaders belonging to the martial arts group. It consists of a total of nine herbivores, and the last, ninth herbivory, was failed to be mastered by anyone except the first sect leader. The Mahon Sword is considered to be the strongest sword, but it is evaluated as a double-edged sword due to its rogue nature that ignores defense.]
I hung out with the vampires just for this purpose.
To take advantage of skills that can be obtained a long time later through normal methods.
And to defeat an enemy that could never be defeated under normal circumstances.
“The price for breaking our Queen Mosquito’s heart is…” … “I will receive only 100 times the amount, no more, no less.”
[The unique ability ‘Sword Grave’ is revealed!]
To the sword demon’s talent.
[Lv1 ‘Demon Soul Sword’ appears!]
The sword technique that even the leaders of the Demonic Cult held in awe of was recreated.
Shoot… … .
The air around me changed suddenly.
Jinhyuk’s foot took a step forward.
That’s the signal.
Kwaaaaang!
“Ugh!”
A shock as if a mountain had hit Michael’s fingertips.
A very shaky posture.
Even the rapier’s unique swordsmanship, which allows the enemy’s attacks to be flown down, is not used.
It was a blow that could be described as truly ignorant.
Before he could come to his senses, Jinhyuk aimed his fangs at Michael’s thigh.
A surprise sneak attack after focusing attention on the twin dragon swords.
Kaaaang!
However, Michael reacted to the surprise attack with a difference of a piece of paper.
“hmm… … .”
It’s surprisingly cool.
I really didn’t think I would be able to find a gap in that guy.
That is, if you go by the rules.
So, is it okay if I say it like this?
Jinhyuk slowly opened his mouth.
OK.
On Michael’s face that maintained his composure.
“you… … You f*cking rat… … ! “How did you know that?”
Finally, cracks began to appear.
fantasy, game,
