Episode 164 Horn of Despair (1)
Buuuuung!
The spear stretched forward with a terrifying sound.
It was true that he was angry, but that didn’t mean he was making fun of Chang with his emotions.
Speed and trajectory.
All of them were near-perfect cuts that could cut off the opponent’s life with a single blow.
however.
Let’s go!
Jinhyuk took the blow very lightly.
There was nothing unnecessary about the flowing, natural movements, as if he knew how to attack.
Although it was only one battle, there were mixed feelings about this one battle.
Yan Hao looked at his trembling palm.
‘I… … Are you losing out on spearmanship?’
This cannot happen.
Aren’t you a strong person with a spear skill that ranks among the five fingers in the Demonic Cult?
I couldn’t even remember how much blood and sweat it took to reach the position of noble blood leader.
And yet.
What on earth do you mean? This pressure… … .
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
My heart was beating rapidly.
This tension.
This air.
never… … , Never below yourself.
Even if I gave my all, I didn’t think I could win.
and.
‘Damn it.’
I was so angry that I had to feel this way towards someone like the player.
‘Let’s calm down… … .’
The opponent is a kid who has just entered the tower.
You’re wearing shackles with a nerf that will result in a fatal hit if you even brush against them!
If you are unable to deal with your opponent despite having such an advantage, it will be a shame that will forever remain in the history of the Demonic Cult.
Sigh.
Yan Hao took his stance again.
I grasped the spear tightly with both hands and measured the distance.
I promised myself that I would finally see the end this time.
‘If you move first, you are bound to get hit. ‘You have to be patient and wait for your opponent’s concentration to break down.’
I’m sure he must be thinking the same thing.
But right then.
Jerk.
Jinhyuk approached with a defenseless appearance.
There were so many loopholes that for a moment, I was confused as to whether this was reality.
“How stupid! How dare you come into my gap!”
Yan Hao did not miss the opportunity.
[The noble blood lord Yeomho uses ‘Sadokchang (蛇毒槍)’!]
Like a snake stalking its prey.
The window drew a strange trajectory.
Jinhyeok also swung his spear half a beat slowly.
however.
Puff!
The sound of flesh being torn apart was not from the other party.
“uh… … ?”
The sound of wind leaking out of Yan Hao’s mouth.
My lips and pupils trembled violently.
For sure… … That guy was the one who approached me defenseless.
But why should I be the one staggering around with a hole in my heart?
Right then.
Something flashed through my mind like lightning.
if… … If you read the entire timing and trajectory of the attack.
Assuming that, it made sense to counterattack even at a half-beat slow pace.
But does that make sense? What if someone you meet for the first time reads your entire window?
‘… … ‘It wasn’t like there was a difference in skill level.’
I was only able to explain why this happened when I was looking down at myself from a completely different and far-off height.
“monster… … “He’s like water.”
Yan Hao’s body slowly fell backwards.
＊＊＊
A ship that loses its captain sinks.
Therefore, the fate of the noble family was almost decided at the point when Yeomho was lost.
‘It’s roughly sorted out.’

Jinhyuk nodded.
Casey and Jude Law destroyed the enemy’s phalanx, and the remaining spirit beasts of the five elements also began to chase the fleeing ones… … .
Even the little details will be taken care of.
Once the storm passed, we had time to talk.
“When did you bring those guys with you again? “You couldn’t possibly have signed a slave contract after tricking him into thinking he liked that damn old company or something?”
Cheon Yu-seong asked as if he was shocked.
“Oh, what a slave! “These are children who came in after signing an employment contract.”
Although I work 100 hours a week, there is no major insurance, minimum wage, severance pay, etc., I still plan to guarantee the most important life.
There’s nothing like it in this day and age.
“… … done. Let’s not talk. “I just feel sorry for those people who were harmed by people like you.”
“Still, I never imagined that I would be able to tame mid-level spirit beasts. Should I say that Jinhyuk seems to have gone to a completely different place now? “I think it will be difficult to raid together in the future.”
Teresa also added a word with a bitter expression.
She was also one of Europe’s leading rankers.
Every time I saw Jinhyuk, I couldn’t help but feel a huge wall.
In fact, didn’t Jinhyeok kill a strong enemy with a single blow, even though they had risked their lives fighting against him?
‘also… … ‘My guess was right.’
Than the prospects and ranked players that everyone praises.
Even better than the masters at the top of large guilds.
Jinhyuk is much higher.
So much so that comparison is impossible.
‘I may not have enough skills to be with you in the future, but… … .’
It doesn’t matter though.
Just by knowing Jinhyuk. Just because Jinhyuk climbs the tower for humanity.
Because it was incomparably reassuring to me.
At that time, Cheon Yu-seong opened his mouth.
“by the way. “What are you thinking?”
“huh? what?”
“Don’t pretend not to know with an innocent expression. shit. Don’t puff out your cheeks either. “If you do that again, I will cut off your head.”
Cheon Yu-seong grabbed the sword.
If I really do just a little more, I will be able to swing that sword with all my heart.
“Be brutal. This is no joke. okay. “What are you curious about?”
“There must be a reason why you chose the 25th floor out of many places.”
“that’s right. “I didn’t just choose this place because I was bored.”
but.
“I can’t tell you why right now.”
“… … .”
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders, and Cheon Yuseong bit his lip as if he knew that would happen.
This hasn’t happened once or twice.
It was expected that Jinhyuk would keep the plan to himself.
“good night. Don’t change the question. So, how long will it take to escape this labyrinth, and where should we go from now?”
I can tell you that much.
“It will be over in the next hour or two. And you don’t have to go anywhere. “If you just stand still for a moment, a new path will appear.”
“… … what?”
“You can overcome the labyrinth that quickly?”
This time, both Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa opened their eyes.
Ellisman, who was still silent, seemed to be anticipating what Jinhyuk would do.
Well, Jinjo is Jinjo.
You probably know about the secrets of the labyrinth.
timely.
A faint light began to flicker in the runes written on the passage.
It has begun.
The time I had been waiting for ever since I entered the labyrinth.
-There are several hidden routes hidden in the labyrinth, ‘Valley of the Good Kings’, located on the 25th floor. Among them, the place where the kings’ tombs are located can be accessed using a special key every day at 11 PM, a time to honor the king.
Jinhyuk took out his ‘fang’ and lightly slashed his palm.
Bright red drops of blood quickly formed.
This is a special key.
You can go to the tombs of the kings.
“Gulp.”
Right next to him, he could hear the sound of a bloodthirsty vampire licking his lips, but Jinhyeok tried to pretend not to hear it.
Immediately, I placed my palm on the place where the word ‘ỽ’ was engraved among the numerous runes.
Then at that very moment.
Wooooow!
A dazzling brilliance emanated from the text.
[The road to the ‘Royal Tomb’ is now open!]
A gorgeous gate decorated with gold.
The only route to conquer the labyrinth is through an expedient method rather than a normal method… … It has appeared now.
‘good.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
It is finally time for the highlight of this labyrinth to unfold.
＊＊＊
As I entered the gate, my darkened vision became brighter.
What appeared was an enormous amount of gold beyond imagination.
“Oh my god… … .”
“… … “That’s amazing.”
Teresa and Cheon Yu-seong opened their mouths wide.
If the golden city of El Dorado were real, would it look like this?
From a large temple made of gold and golden statues reaching up to 10 meters.
Even diamonds bigger than your fist and various jewels.
You only see it in movies. No, I couldn’t help but let out an exclamation of admiration at the sight, which was even more incredible than the movie.
“If I put these treasures in my subspace inventory and go out, I will become a rich man worthy of the envy of a chaebol.”
“It’s not at that level. “With this amount, you can buy a whole country.”
The amount of treasure here was outside the standard, to the extent that two people with relatively little material desires reacted that way.
but.
“I understand how you feel, but you will regret it if you touch the treasure carelessly.”
As if to prove that statement.
Additional status windows appeared.
[The previous kings warn the grave robbers who broke into the tomb.]
[There is only one treasure you can possess here.]
[Those who violate this and become greedy will receive the ‘curse of the kings’.]
“I believe everyone has seen Aladdin.”
If you touch anything other than the lamp, you will become fried chicken in oil.
Of course, the curse of this world would be much more terrible than simply dying from magma.
“indeed… … . “I know what it means.”
“I guess I’ll have to choose carefully.”
The two people nodded.
“And even before the treasure, there is something I must do first. “Follow me first.”
Obtaining treasure is just a secondary reward.
The most important thing is to solve the challenges to get out of here.
Jinhyuk took the lead.
How many minutes did it take to walk past the mountains of gold and treasure?
Finally, a building with a different atmosphere from the others appeared.
North, south, east and west. Long stairs on all sides were built towards the top… … .
“altar… … “I think so?”
Yes.
That’s an altar.
And the most noticeable thing among them was the square-shaped table located at the top of the stairs and the ‘black alarm bell’ placed on it.
The alarm bell made of black iron also had ancient runes engraved on it. It was a completely different type of rune than the one seen in the passage.
‘Double rune words… … .’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
It was evaluated as being closest to the ‘forgotten language’, and in the past Jinhyuk also tried to find clues to the forgotten language through this language.
‘This time, I have transferred to a barrier temple and have even secured the moon seal, so I will make sure to learn all the languages.’
For people who are already rotten, the fact that they can learn something new is exciting in and of itself.
Because of this, Jinhyuk already felt his fingers itching.
“Is that the purpose?”
“okay. Only if you get that thing can you get out of this labyrinth. “It’s kind of like a key to the outside.”
“Then there is no need to waste time. “I will secure it right away.”
Cheon Yu-seong tried to run towards the stairs right away.
“hang on.”
“why? “Is there a trap there too?”
“Do you really need me to tell you that so you understand?”
Still, it is a tomb in name, so there is no way there is no trap in the most important treasure.
Even within the labyrinth, the most difficult and annoying things were laid out like grains of sand on those stairs.
“Looking at you in such a hurry to stop it, it seems like it’s a trap you don’t even know about.”
“No, I know how to avoid traps. “It’s just that you have to be itchy in the back of your head to be able to concentrate on avoiding the trap?”
“no way… … .”
okay.
We are not the only guests here.
“Why don’t you come out soon? “It’s no use using a clumsy barrier in front of me.”
Jinhyuk nodded towards the pile of gold on the right.
