Episode 211 One question and one answer (1)
Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger.
Was it for this that he poured out solemn words with the courtesy of a knight?
also… .
‘Just as I expected.’
It was decided that this would happen from the time Fenheimer first contacted him.
Rather, I was worried about what I would do if I didn’t say this. I’m glad you brought up the story first.
‘But, if you look as serious as possible, you’ll have more chances to fall.’
It seems difficult. It seems difficult. If you’re good at pushing and pushing, Fenheimer will inevitably feel more pressure to ask for a favor.
And the prediction was exactly right.
Did he feel that it was not an easy request for him to ask? Fenheimer quickly added:
“Of course, I’m not just asking. Of course, there must be a reasonable reward for hard work. If you accept this task, I will give you a gift of whatever you want from the imperial treasure trove. This is something that His Majesty the Emperor has already given permission to do. You don’t have to have it.”
“……!”
An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk’s pupils.
Hoo.
I thought they would give me something pretty good, but I never expected it to be this big.
It seems that Fenheimer took too lightly his desire to protect the emperor.
If it were the treasure trove of the richest empire in the middle class, it was an opportunity that should never be missed.
“Big! Big! If I’m doing it for the Empire and Master Fenheimer, I’ll definitely succeed no matter how difficult it is. You know it’s definitely not because I want the treasure, right?”
“……Yes. Of course, you will.”
That’s when Penheimer answered hesitantly.
“……!”
“soil….”
While Ellis and Jinhyuk were eating, something caught their senses.
Multiple footsteps approaching the shantytown.
Not ordinary people.
The magical power flowing from the body was at a level that ordinary people could never possess.
Suddenly, all the noise in the shantytown had disappeared.
“There are some who stepped on their tail.”
About a beat later, Penheimer also realized what had happened.
“It looks like the number is quite large… Did it come from the nobles?”
“I don’t know. This is a place that only a few people in the empire know about, so how on earth….”
Fenheimer shook his head as if he had no idea.
That’s right. This probably means that they are more likely to be from the other side than the nobles.
Let Jinhyuk focus his energy. One by one, the number of people approaching from outside began to be identified.
A total of twenty-seven.
An unpleasant magical energy seeped in from outside the door.
I know for sure as it is right around the corner.
The guys out there right now are no ordinary enemies.
The sticky energy piercing my brain gave me a strange sense of discomfort.
‘I have no choice but to fight.’
Aside from the fact that there was only one door, there was no way out of this narrow place.
“come.”
As soon as Ellis finished speaking.
Quaaaang!
The door shattered.
＊＊＊
What appeared was not a human.
“Kkiiiii….”
“Geueeek!”
No, it would be more accurate to describe them as things that used to be human, but are no longer human.
Dead people with black drool came inside.
Clink!
Many of the dead were also seen leaning out of the windows.
The sight of him struggling to somehow crawl inside seemed quite gross.
“I’ll take the left one.”
Penheimer drew his sword.
“It’s me on the right.”
Ellis also collected blood drops and made skewers.
The moment the dead came into range.
Fenheimer and Ellis moved at the same time.
Suddenly!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Aura blades burning with blue light and red-hot skewers cut into the bodies of the dead.
The dead being torn apart like sheets of paper.
Each attack was filled with indescribable magic power, and a body made of fragile flesh and bones simply could not withstand it.
okay.
That should have been normal… .

“Keeee…!”
“Keeeeek!”
The dead, whose bodies were in tatters, did not fall.
The flesh and bones that fell off were instantly put together, turning into something even bigger than the first time.
It was a bonus that black thorns sprouted from the wound area.
Jjuuuuk!
The light green liquid that spewed out from the thorns hit the wall.
Then, with a loud noise, the wall began to burn in an instant.
“Such a strange monster….”
“Tsk. We’re not a good match.”
Fenheimer and Ellis, who narrowly avoided it, made expressions of disgust.
Right then.
Pow!
A white flash of light erupted from the bow made from Pentagris’ molars.
There was a hole in the forehead of the dead man in front.
Jinhyeok pulled the arrow again.
Whoa!
“Keeeeek!”
The second guy also had a hole in his head.
It is a clean and accurate strike without any unnecessary details.
So much so that even the simple actions of pulling the string and firing the arrow look beautiful.
however.
That’s it!
Ki kick!
The dead man, whose head had been destroyed, started to wake up again, twisting his body grotesquely.
Even so, Auror Blade and Elise’s abilities were not particularly effective against undead… .
Could it be that even the arrows strengthened with ‘Star’s Protection’ and ‘Daylight’ are useless?
This was Jinhyeok’s first time experiencing such a situation.
“That’s fun.”
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
How long has it been since then?
Facing an unknown enemy that you don’t know about.
Kukukukukuku!
Jinhyeok rearranged his magical powers with a familiarity.
[Lv2 ‘Cheonnajimang(天羅地網)’ is activated!]
Transparent waves extended to the surrounding enemies.
‘There are fifteen at the front and six on each side.’
After identifying the number and location of enemies through Cheonnaji Network.
[Lv11 ‘Glacier Sculpture’ is activated!]
They were restrained through glacier sculpture, which has a wide-area crowd control effect.
Ice frost sprouted on the floor and stuck to the soles of the dead people’s feet.
What concludes here, just like in Beiro Doom, was the emergence of new skills through multiple fusion.
[Unique ability ‘Mandala (曼茶羅)’, unique ability ‘Thousand Poison’, and skill ‘Giant’s Grasp’ are fused!]
Wooooow!
A dazzling light erupted.
A fusion of three skills.
Although it was a huge strain on my body, I had to use abnormal methods to deal with abnormal people.
[Convergence was successful!]
[You have acquired the unique ability ‘Colossus Strike’!]
[The fused abilities are stored in the ‘memory of the world’!]
Status windows listed one after another.
Moment. A white vortex emerged around Jinhyuk’s fist.
The magic power rotating at high speed began to condense into a single point in a clockwise direction.
And when that rotation reaches its peak.
‘… … now!’
The storm that surpassed its limits stretched out in a straight line.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A blinding flash of light passed in the direction the fist was heading.
If the fist is meant to destroy the target.
The giant’s strike is intended to punish the target.
Indiscriminate punishment without any mercy.
The dead, with their entire upper bodies blown off, collapsed on the spot.
“Whoa….”
Jinhyuk took a deep breath.
‘It’s not easy to minimize damage to the surrounding area and reduce noise with a barrier.’
Because so much magical power was poured into him in an instant, the pressure on his body was beyond imagination.
My muscles were creaking and my blood vessels felt like they were all on fire.
but.
“Just kidding… right?”
The dead did not stop even after receiving the blow.
Jinhyeok swallowed his dry saliva as he watched him stand up again, twisting his body at a bizarre angle.
… … This incident was definitely not planned by nobles.
Due to the nature of these people, who are pagans and all, but also hate witchcraft, there was no way they would have done something like this.
Above all, it was impossible to create monsters of this magnitude at the level they possessed.
As the biggest candidate disappeared from the list, a second candidate rose to the top of the list.
Those who can use this kind of magic without hesitation and have enough power and capital… .
at the same time.
‘A group that has strong hostility towards me.’
There is only one of those guys.
“Mine Association.”
Jinhyuk slowly called the name.
OK. The movement of the dead stopped as if it were a lie.
Jeez.
A Western man with a rather impressive eye smile walked out from among the dead.
“Haha. Nice to meet you. Player Jinhyeok Kang. Originally, I was going to show up after I relaxed a little more, but thanks to that, the timing was a little off.”
“Do you think you know me?”
“How could you not know? He was the one who leaked false information about Unknown to us and led us to Cheon Yu-seong. Thanks to that, I wasted a whole day going to his officetel and fighting with him.”
“ah….”
Now that I think about it, I remembered that I had leaked such information to Hossenvelt, who had the title Lancelot, in the psychiatric ward.
Cheon Yu-seong’s officetel, where he was spending a normal holiday, was completely destroyed. It also came to mind that Cheon Yu-seong tried to pull out his sword in anger.
“So does that mean you’re also a member of that round table or something?”
“Yes. Please feel free to call me Gawain.”
It’s Gawain… .
It may be surprising, but his naming sense is as good as any other middle school student.
However, what is important now is not his name.
What is the purpose of coming here?
“It looks like you’ve made a pretty fun toy. Should I interpret the fact that it doesn’t attack right away as a sign that it wants to do something?”
Even though he has ridiculous dead people who are resistant to divine power. In fact, Gawain did not actively give strength to the attack.
They only make threats while strengthening the siege.
That was all.
“As expected, you are as perceptive as I heard. Actually, I would like to suggest something to player Jinhyeok Kang.”
“I hope this isn’t bullshit about coming in under the demons and wiping after them. As I said last time, I’m just saying that it’s better to die than get in the same boat with people you don’t like.”
“No, that’s not it. Honestly, even if we hold hands, wouldn’t it be obvious that we’d end up putting knives at each other’s throats?”
A relationship that can never be together like water and oil.
No matter how much we smiled and held hands, the ending of this story was already decided.
Gawain also knew that, so he got straight to the point instead of telling a clumsy lie.
“So what do you want to propose?”
“Exchange of information we have. Jinhyuk asks me questions. I will also ask questions to Jinhyuk.”
This… It’s a pretty interesting proposal.
I had a few questions about the Mine Association, so it meant I could ask them.
What Gawain was saying now clearly had merit in that it could fill in the gaps in information.
‘I need to hang out with you for a while to pass the time.’
While we were talking, I saw Fenheimer doing something on the floor.
Although it was a dilapidated house, it was given the name Safe House. There must be some device prepared.
“Suppose we accept the offer. How do we guarantee that neither of us will lie to the questions?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. My unique ability is to force you not to break trust.”
[Gawain activates his unique ability ‘Balance of Trust’!]
[Both sides ask each other questions in turn, and the other party must answer the questions truthfully.]
[If you are silent, you must provide information corresponding to the value of the question.]
[Anyone who violates this will be judged by the scales.]
In an instant, a huge scale made of bronze appeared at the feet of Jinhyeok and Gawain.
I saw metal pieces as sharp as saw blades.
If you tell a lie as written in the status window, it will immediately lead to a disaster in which the saw blades mesh.
“I think you can trust the reliability part.”
“I’ll ask you a question first. Do you mind?”
“Do whatever you feel like.”
I prefer the right to go first rather than the right to go first. Because I was able to think of questions that could get to the core through the trivial information I gained during the conversation.
“then….”
Gawain slowly opened his mouth.
and.
So the first question that came up was… .
… … It was the kind of question that completely caught me off guard.
fantasy, game,
