Episode 159 Choose a faction (3)
“Okay. It’s been a while since I left my residence. “It was so boring, really.”
“I’m glad I was relieved thanks to the intruder.”
“Uhm. “How long has it been outside since?”
“everyone… … It’s too loud. “Be quiet.”
‘Sylphide’, a wind spirit beast that takes the form of an innocent girl.
‘Gnomes’, earth spirit beasts in the form of small golems.
‘Undine’, a water spirit beast in the form of a mature woman.
‘Wisp’, a spirit beast of light that takes the form of a boy who finds everything annoying.
Spirit beasts of four attributes appeared through each door.
Everyone seemed very excited about their long-awaited outing, probably because they had been locked up for a long time.
Of course, the excitement here was meant to have fun while brutally dealing with intruders.
however.
“huh?”
The second wind spirit beast that appeared tilted its head.
Something is strange.
Isn’t there a red lizard in front of her with its head on the ground and its back facing?
“Off… … .”
He was covered in cold sweat and his arms and legs were shaking.
It was hard to believe that this was a Salamander known for its ferocity.
“Hey, how did this happen? “Why are you doing this?”
The Earth Spirit Beast also opened its eyes wide.
Dirt fell from the corner of my mouth.
“Has he gone crazy after being locked up for so long?”
“Wake up, Salamander! “You’re selling your pride as a spirit beast and you’re acting in such a pathetic way!”
“everyone. Be quiet.”
The rest of the spirit beasts were equally embarrassed.
Right then.
“Mooogi!”
Sweet Potato activated Fear.
A loud noise echoes down the aisle.
A magical power comparable to that of a dragon took control of the space.
“Aaaah!”
“omg!”
“This is… … !”
Creepy.
The spirit beasts’ faces changed to an earthy color in an instant.
At the same time, I understood why the Salamander was so scared and curled his tail.
The reality is that even fully adult phantom beasts and spirit beasts do not dare to approach the realm of ancient species.
Who can show their teeth in front of the ‘Ancient Dragon’, the most special of ancient species?
Moreover, they are only mid-level spirit beasts that have not yet become adults.
It was as if the fight was over before it even started.
“What are you doing? Is there an empty seat next to the fire lizard over there? “Why don’t you just go first-come-first-served?”
Jinhyuk, who was sitting on the rock, nodded.
I didn’t know why humans were controlling an ancient species, but what was important now was not resolving such questions.
I have to run.
Faster than anyone else.
And you have to hit your head with more passion than anyone else.
Because only then could we survive against that incredibly ancient species.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
Soon, all five spirit beasts bowed their heads.
Intermediate spirit water symbolizing the five elements.
Who would have imagined that we would see the faces of those self-respecting guys turn red?
However, this was not a dream or imagination, it was f*cking reality.
“good job. “Our sweet potatoes.”
Jinhyuk gently scratched the nape of the sweet potato’s neck.
“mosquito!”
The sweet potato enjoyed the touch with its eyes tightly closed.
It seemed quite satisfied with its tail gently wagging.
So what’s next… … .
The question is what to do with those guys.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
“I don’t know about you, but the sweet potato here is one of the outside directors of Goinmul Corporation.”
To be exact, I hold the position of sales director.
“Right now, our company is recruiting interns for the second half of the year, so what? “Do you have any interests?”
It goes without saying, but rejection is death.
Even if you fail, you die.
“Kko, I really want to go in!”

“me too!”
“Even if we don’t know anything else, we will carry out the given mission with flying colors!”
“If I can be with the Ancient Sect, I will chase after him even to the end of hell. lol.”
“I would like you to speak quietly. But I want to do it too.”
The spirit beasts rushed to raise their voices.
As befits beings who enjoy a life close to eternal life, their obsession with life was extraordinary.
“hmm. I’m proud to see that everyone is passionately interested in our company, but the truth is, I don’t like to talk loudly. “I hope everyone understands.”
Grumble!
A bright flame flickered at the tip of Jinhyuk’s finger.
The power to force a compulsory oath.
It was the ‘stigma of marriage’.
As the flame soul’s brand was imprinted, the bodies of the spirit beasts twitched slightly.
[The spirit beasts of the five major elements swear submission.]
‘It feels like picking up gold that fell on the street.’
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
Jinhyuk’s heart was beating crazy fast.
It was an intermediate level spirit beast taming that I had never dared attempt in the past. Because it was made up of people who were very strong and difficult to deal with.
However, the existence of the ancient sweet potato made the impossible possible.
‘We’re growing much more efficiently.’
The way to see the top of the tower.
Although the difficulty level increased due to the character variables, these good variables offset that.
This means that no matter how difficult it becomes, it is fully possible to deal with it.
‘No, it’s not at that level.’
At my current pace, I might have surpassed my past record. And that too faster than expected.
As if to prove that statement.
Tiring!
Multiple status windows appeared in a row.
[Achieved 5,000 achievement points!]
[Current public value ranking]
1st place: Jinhyuk Kang (5,100P)
2nd place: Namgungcheon (450P)
3rd place: Cheon Yu-seong (190P)
4th place: Maria (150P)
5th place: Patrick (130P)
6th place: Yoshio (125P)
… … .
The gap with second place is completely incomparable.
Well, it’s probably a situation where no one can move carelessly.
Jinhyuk slowly looked through the rankings.
It was only natural that Namgung-cheon was at the top.
It was also expected that Cheon Yu-seong, who did not want to stay still, would go on a rampage.
Ellis, everything is so annoying that you won’t be interested in going through the traps. So, he is bound to not be found in the rankings.
and.
‘The rest of the people are probably just looking at each other because of the penalty due to the defense nerf.’
If you touch it, you will be seriously injured, and if you hit it, you will die. No matter how strong your heart is, it will be difficult to enter the trap willingly.
Although they are taking advantage of that psychological gap, we should not think that this stalemate will continue forever.
‘At most, after a few tens of minutes, I’ll gather myself and start moving.’
That’s difficult.
If a large number of players died, all the blame would be directed at him for choosing the 25th floor.
We must quickly finish the ‘next step of work’ before idiots with a passion for victory take on reckless challenges.
Jinhyuk closed the public reputation window.
‘Anyway, it’s time to show interest… … .’
The moment I thought that.
[Multiple forces show great interest in you!]
[I praise your overwhelming performance in ‘Empire.’]
[I feel afraid of your presence in ‘Murim’.]
[I find the existence of the ‘ancient sweet potato’ in the ‘spirit world’ interesting.]
[A total of 13 small and medium-sized powers want to join you.]
[Expresses a very strong preference for ‘The Third Force’.]
Indirect messages from each force poured in.
The Empire, the Murim, and the Spirit World.
As expected, a lot of big names came in.
If you add in the small and medium-sized powers, it seems that he has made a strong impression on quite a number of powers.
‘Well, if you’re not interested after seeing this, you’re crazy.’
Overwhelming performance and the ability to find a way out even in unfavorable situations.
Above all, the meticulousness with which the overall plan is put together.
Doesn’t it have all the advantages that powers that are anxious to expand their territory want?
From their perspective, just looking at it will make your mouth water.
However, what caught Jinhyuk’s attention was not the martial arts world, the empire, or the spirit world.
Third force.
I never thought they would come in contact with these guys.
This is going to be fun.
Surprisingly, it may be possible to design a more complex situation.
＊＊＊
“haha… … .”
A hollow laugh flowed from the mouth of Fenheimer, the Sword Master of the Caladium Kingdom.
When the person of interest selected the 25th floor of the tower, the atmosphere in the banquet hall quickly heated up.
It had to be that way.
With the current players’ skills, they will never be able to break through the labyrinth on the 25th floor.
In particular, the debuff effect that ignored all defenses was a formidable shackle even if the target was a sword master.
however.
‘… … ‘Are you saying you’re not afraid?’
Even when everyone is embarrassed, he smiles leisurely.
It seemed to show that this staircase was not just chosen for no reason.
Confidence, not coincidence.
Soon after, Penheimer’s expectations became reality.
After discovering the hidden route at the entrance to the labyrinth, the door to the five elements appears behind it.
And from there, anticipation grew as to which spirit beast they would choose to battle with.
But, no way… … . I never thought I would choose a fight with all of the five great spirits.
‘What on earth are you thinking?’
Fenheimer clenched his fists without realizing it.
Dealing with five named spirit beasts at the same time, each one of them of the same name, was tantamount to suicide.
of course.
All those worries were just unfounded.
“Unbelievable… … .”
“Wow, those damn spirits are rolling their tails.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of a player whose guild is a more ancient species. “There is no precedent for us securing an ancient species yet.”
“What method did you use… … the poor?
The faces of the residents on the second floor were contorted in shock.
The strongest creature that is difficult to see even in the middle floor of the tower.
Just seeing that was astounding, and the opponent was even using such an ancient species like a complete limb.
The sight of a noble, ancient species struggling to get its owner’s attention was a scene I had never imagined.
Jang Moon-in of the Mo Yong family who has represented Moorim. Mo Yong-su also felt cold sweat running down his spine.
‘… … He was a much more dangerous person than I thought.’
I knew about Jinhyeok from the 5th floor Elven Forest, but it was only about the battle.
‘Are you saying that not only the weapons you have, but also your knowledge of the tower are out of standard?’
perhaps… … .
I even thought that there would be a big change not just in the power structure of the middle layer but also in the entire tower.
but.
Even all that shock was just a preview.
“huh?”
“W-what is that?”
“ruler… … wait for a sec!”
In the scene that follows… … .
All residents were left speechless.
＊＊＊
“ruler. “Start!”
Jinhyuk nodded.
OK.
“earth!”
“fire!”
“wind!”
“water!”
“light!”
With a shout.
Spirit beasts flew from all directions and gathered in one place.
Because the photos were thoroughly filmed and pressed with fear and intimidation, there were no mistakes or awkwardness.
‘Big!’
Close to perfect movement.
I feel like my heart will become bigger.
However, this is not the end.
Because the true climax started right now.
“When the five powers come together!”
The voices of the spirit beasts merged into one.
“Spirit Special Forces!”
Just like superheroes appear. Five spirit beasts gathered in one place.
“Oooh!”
Jinhyuk jumped up from his seat.
Sweet Potato’s eyes sparkle and he says, ‘Mosquito. “Mosquito” repeated.
“That’s right. “All of them passed the internship!”
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Jinhyuk gave thunderous applause as if he was truly impressed.
Even if I wanted to give this a rejection, I couldn’t. Because he had an appearance scene that suited Goinmul Corporation better than anyone else.
It was at that moment when Jinhyuk was admiring it.
[I want to talk to you in ‘Empire’.]
[‘Murim’ would like to talk to you.]
Representatives of both forces spoke at the same time.
Two people were caught.
caught.
… … This is the game from now on.
Jinhyuk caught his breath.
fantasy, game,
