Episode 225 Paradise Lost (2)
Suddenly!
With a cutting sound, the head of a grasshopper disappeared.
Jinhyuk ran forward without hesitation, holding a sword in both hands.
“Keeeeek!”
“Keeeeee!”
I had already cut down an unknown number of insects, but there was no end in sight to the constantly flocking colonies.
It was then.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
With an earth-shaking roar, a monster of enormous size appeared in front.
The Hercules beetle is known to be the largest type of insect.
Quaaaang!
Even though the shield made of ‘glacier sculpture’ was deployed, Jinhyuk’s body was thrown several meters to the side.
The impact was as if it had collided head-on with a 20-ton truck.
However, the attack did not end there.
Cheer up!
This time I thought I heard the sound of crawling on the ground… … .
‘under!’
Sharp legs protruded from the dirt.
‘Black Sand Centipede’.
With a body length of well over 10 meters, it is known to be the most vicious among centipedes.
Without even having time to catch his breath, Jinhyuk quickly widened the distance to the side.
But he was a little faster.
Hundreds of legs instantly wrapped around Jinhyeok.
“Keeee….”
Two bright yellow eyes looked directly at Jinhyuk.
Cheeeeeek!
When the saliva that fell between the teeth hit the ground, acrid smoke rose.
That must be a bodily fluid mixed with acid and poison.
“I know it’s your instinct to protect the tree… But you have to watch your opponent before you attack him.”
You can’t even see the bodies of your colleagues who died after recklessly thrusting in head first.
“Keeeeek!”
The centipede’s mouth opened wide.
A terrible poison engulfed the surroundings.
Melting golden roses and grass.
It seemed like no living thing could survive in the acrid smoke.
But at that very moment.
The poison that had obscured my vision all disappeared in an instant.
[The unique ability ‘Thousand Poison’ is activated!]
A thick mist flowed out that could not be compared to the poison emitted by the black sand centipede.
‘Dangmun’s Martial Arts’ copied from the Elven Forest.
Thousands of poisons.
The season of a prestigious family that made a name for themselves through poisonous techniques was recreated through the hands of Jinhyeok.
“Kii……kkkkk!”
The black sand centipede writhed in pain.
No matter how high the poison resistance is, it is not enough to withstand the poison that can turn a person into blood in just one minute.
In the first place, the poison he experienced and the poison of the martial arts group were very different from their roots.
“It’s such a terrible ability that I was reluctant to use it against people, but you guys can use it to your heart’s content.”
Jinhyuk captured the black clouds.
The smoke soon took the shape of a skewer.
A form inspired by Elise’s unique ability, Blood Lord.
If you add the ‘element of fire’ to a skewer full of poison… … .
There is probably no more efficient way to hunt bugs than this.
Grumble!
Poison and fire combined in one place.
What followed was a rain of fire that could only be talked about in the apocalypse.
＊＊＊
Kwakwakwak!
Quaaaang!
Unsightly craters began to form where the skewers had hit directly.
Although the consumption of magical power was extreme, it could not be helped.
If it wasn’t for such a wide area, I would have had to spend too much time digging into it.
Jinhyeok, who once again used ‘Sword Demon King’s Treasure’, made a huge leap from that spot.
The target was a butterfly that flew around to avoid being skewered.
Jinhyuk landed gently on Nabi’s back.
The butterfly was so dispirited due to the rain that it had not yet noticed that Jinhyeok was on its back.
‘As expected, it has to be this high to show its weaknesses.’
White jade that can only be seen in the sky.

That is the source that supports the white tree.
Buuuuung!
Belatedly, Butterfly, who felt a sense of conflict, tried hard to shake off Jinhyuk.
Because his senses were already distorted, it was not easy to maintain balance, but Jinhyuk maintained balance on his left and right sides with movements that were almost acrobatic.
‘yet… … ‘Not yet.’
Holding a skewer in his hand, he gathered his magic power.
To get the correct angle, you need to move the butterfly a little more to the right.
Jinhyeok, who paralyzed the butterfly’s sense of sight and smell with poison, cleverly created an angle from which he could throw a javelin.
And the moment when the white tree and the butterfly’s antennae formed a straight line.
Parts… … .
The magical power and miasma that had been gathered turned into a 2m long spear.
Jinhyuk threw the spear he was holding.
A ray of wind split the air.
Five dark red circles were drawn.
Paang!
The spear broke the speed of sound and created a sonic boom that seemed to tear the eardrums.
It could be said that it was almost simultaneous.
The window collided head-on with Baekok.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
The entire castle was shaken by a javelin of absurd force.
The shock wave caused all the golden roses and grass to bend sideways.
but.
“Tsk!”
Despite maintaining the perfect angle and power, the white jade was not destroyed.
It was slightly cracked, but still maintained its shine.
“Goooooo!”
A terrible scream echoed from the trees.
If it had gone on this rampage, even the tree would have realized.
No matter how much we pour into mass-produced bugs, it is meaningless.
and.
It is also true that a human being has enough ability to threaten his or her own life.
“I am the one who rules this land. I am Tangrasil.”
For the first time, a deep voice flowed from the body of the white tree.
Tangrasil.
It was nothing compared to Yggdrasil, the world tree in Norse mythology.
It was a huge tree that could become another legend if time passed.
The fact that this guy started talking is also proof that the attack a little while ago worked.
“How dare you not only break into this paradise lost, but also hurt me. Do you really want to die?”
Thangrasil asked.
At the same time, a subtle magical power bloomed from Jinhyeok’s body.
“I have no desire to die. Rather, it’s a talking tree… It’s fascinating. If it hadn’t been full of bugs, I would have sold it to Rick right away.”
“W-what? You’re selling me?”
“There’s a middle manager who mainly handles strange things like you. I think he’ll give you a good price for it, but… I’m debating whether to just burn it because of the bugs.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
This killing left Tangrasil speechless for a moment.
It’s a natural thing.
A life lived in a noble way, considered sacred by the spirits.
Even Ograkun, the king of the giants, did not dare to treat him poorly.
But what does it mean?
Why do people who can’t even live for 100 years say such outrageous things?
“……I know that you have adapted to the curse of the barrier I unleashed. However, do you think this is the end of the curse I can use?”
“Well, there must be more prepared. But, is it because the curses in front of me were so disappointing? I’m not really looking forward to it.”
“Those words. You will definitely regret it.”
[Tangrasil activates the ‘Second Curse’!]
[Select one intruder and absorb twice the magic power used by that target in battle.]
[The target is player Jinhyuk Kang.]
It doesn’t matter whether you use a sword, a bow, or magic.
A deceptive curse that absorbs twice the magical power used by the target when the target is directly involved in battle.
This is why Thangrasil and the giants were able to protect this fortress for so long.
“What do you think? Even the sword masters, great mages, and martial arts masters that the empire was proud of have bowed before this curse. Soon, you too will be like those arrogant bastards!”
“Sure. It might be tricky.”
No matter how much you attack, if twice as much magic is absorbed… … In the end, it’s like scooping up seawater.
Because it meant that the more you attack, the more you lose.
“It is too late to regret it now. The sin of stepping into my territory will be replaced by using that blood and flesh as nourishment.”
Thangrasil solemnly pronounced death.
of course.
“Then I’ll use your body as fuel for the campfire. It’s big enough to burn all night long.”
Jinhyuk wasn’t the type to be scared by those words.
“to the end……!”
Kukukukukuku!
As if there was an earthquake. The ground began to wriggle.
Tree trunks rushed toward Jinhyuk at incredible speed.
＊＊＊
‘… … I got caught.’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
The 12-star barrier has characteristics that the gods on the upper levels of the tower cannot glimpse.
In other words, here you can demonstrate your abilities to your heart’s content without worrying about what the Egyptians think.
Because I knew that.
Jinhyuk used three questions to Tangrasil.
and.
I got the answer to that too.
[The unique ability ‘Judgment of Anubis’ is activated!]
[All of the target’s abilities are reduced by 50%!]
Status windows appeared one after another.
“What the hell is this…?”
Tangrasil, feeling something strange, wriggled his whole body.
You probably don’t understand.
Since he was only a mid-level resident, he would not have had the opportunity to encounter the abilities of higher-ranking gods.
However, the real embarrassment has only just begun.
Anubis’ Judgment had another effect in addition to nerfing the target’s abilities.
as soon as.
[You can now specify the opponent.]
Designating the opponent.
Suddenly… … !
Even if it wasn’t pointed out verbally, the target had already been decided.
The stem was completely cut off, and green fluid was sprayed everywhere.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
Thangrasil let out a scream full of pain.
[The undead monster ‘T-bone’ has been designated as the opponent.]
[Because the ability was used without the attention of the Egyptian gods, the potential of ‘Anubis’ Judgment’ increases to the limit!]
[Necromancer-related abilities temporarily increase to Lv100.]
[Timeout: 0h:4m:59s]
The tiny skeleton warrior is no more.
In its place is a knight with a 2m tall body and his entire body armed with black armor.
A blue eye glow emerged from the pupils, which were as empty as the abyss.
This is a being that is evaluated as one of the strongest in the undead class.
It’s a death knight.
The end of countless experiences and growth, a state that can only be reached in the very distant future.
T-Bone was immediately skipped through the nomination of his opponent.
“Stupid… Cheonghan! Don’t you know that if you attack me, you’ll actually be offering up your magic power?”
“I’m sorry, but my opponent doesn’t count as a direct attack. Besides, since he’s undead, he’s not affected by curses.”
I didn’t bring T-Bone, not Ellis, or Wolyoung, here for nothing.
Of the three, T-Bone was the only one best suited to this situation, so I chose him.
“No way… that can’t be possible!”
Tangrasil hurriedly examined the magic power in the tree.
It’s true.
Naturally, the cut wound had to heal immediately.
Somehow, the wound remained the same.
Thick! Thick! Thick!
The same goes for terrible pain.
“I don’t know what kind of prank you were playing, but… are you trusting a toy like that? A Death Knight who is at best a sword master?”
“Not all Death Knights are the same.”
At least for this moment.
Even Abraham, the Empire’s proud Grand Swordmaster, or one of the top ten martial arts masters, cannot be T-Bone’s opponent.
Because the abilities of the Egyptian higher gods have fully blossomed.
“master.”
T-Bone stood in front of Jinhyuk holding a sword and shield.
“Order.”
