Episode 231 Holidays at the Citadel (3)
The interior of the fortress.
There were many tables lined up with various kinds of food.
“Stop making noises with your joints and move quickly. Clatter. Master told us to hurry.”
“Rattle!”
“All, rattling….”
T-Bone and the ancient soldiers, wearing bow ties, often walked by to assist the guests.
“Do you like the food?”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly at the dignitaries sitting on both sides.
“……Pfft!”
I flinch.
Nangong Cheon tried to reach for the sword at his waist.
It probably means that being in the same room as Jinhyuk is unpleasant.
Then Baek Seol-lin quickly intervened.
“It suits me better than I thought. Thank you for your hospitality.”
“Well, I’m grateful if you think so, but I think the person who ruined his guild thinks differently from Baek Seol-lin Sojeo. Haha.”
“W-What!? Isn’t it all your fault that the Chinese Guild became such a mess…!”
“It’s okay. I didn’t come here to fight.”
“Of course. I didn’t have any intention of fighting, so I wonder why you’re so hot-tempered. I guess the goblins scattered around the tutorial field would be more patient.”
“Ugh, wow!”
Nangongcheon foamed at the mouth.
However, thanks to the efforts of Baek Seol-lin and the rest of the martial arts people to stop the incident, the worst thing did not happen.
“Enough with the provocations. Why did you invite us here? You didn’t really invite us to just have a meal, right?”
Are you planning to get into the meat of the matter before the main dish is even served?
Anyway, these are friends who have no such thing as table manners.
“It’s a little early, but I’ll tell you anyway since no one seems interested in eating. As you know, both factions want free access to this castle. The strategic location is too important.”
This is what everyone knows up to this point.
That’s probably why I accepted the invitation, which was almost like notification.
“I’m going to give both sides a chance. The one who offers the higher toll will have the right of way through the fort.”
“A… price competition? Did you say it’s a price competition?”
Javier jumped up from his seat.
It was so absurd that my thick chin trembled.
“What’s wrong?”
“Of course! Didn’t you take the side of the empire during the faction selection war? Then, of course, you would have to give up the castle to us. What kind of nonsense is that?”
Javier spat, blood forming on his neck.
Then at that very moment.
The smile disappeared from Jinhyeok’s face, which had been smiling continuously.
“First of all, if you spit in front of your food one more time, I’ll make sure you never make fun of that snout again.”
“Spout… snout. No, what on earth are you saying now?”
“This is my castle….”
Tsutsutsu!
A cold, murderous spirit bloomed.
“This means show appropriate courtesy.”
“Huh!”
Hobier has never touched a sword other than one used as a courtesy.
Of course, I had no experience of being exposed to such a terrible energy.
Rattling!
Javier’s body trembled like an aspen.
The cheerful appearance had completely disappeared a long time ago.
Instead, only one frightened white pig remains.
“Hehe. Player Kang Jin-hyuk. It looks like our Count made a mistake. If you calm down and tell us what you want, we will humbly accept it.”
An old knight quickly took control of the situation.
Albert Mecker.
He is the leader of the Knights of the Iron Cross and is also responsible for assisting the commander-in-chief, Hobier.
‘It’s Kang Jin-hyuk… … .’
At first, Elbert also planned to use the title of Empire to suppress Jinhyeok.
No matter how strong the player is, his opponent is ultimately short.
It is by no means comparable to a huge power.
but.
‘… … At best, I thought it was a wolf cub, but I was completely mistaken.’
Young, not even 30 yet.
But what on earth does this mean? What is this intimidating feeling?
As if dealing with an absolute monarch who has crossed countless lines of fire and been worn down.
It’s hard to even breathe due to the stinging sensation on my skin.
If a person like this gets really angry and pulls out his sword… … .
‘It’s too much for us.’
The knights who came here to protect the count were over thirty… … .
If you attack carelessly, this is where you will be buried.

“Ah, Sir Albert. Now the interest is….”
“I know, Your Excellency the Count. First, let’s listen to the proposal made by Jinhyeok Kang.”
When the situation calmed down, Jinhyuk took out two white pieces of paper on the table.
“You only get one chance. All you have to do is write down the best of what each of you can offer and submit it to me.”
“Do you mean not to taste the seasoning half-heartedly?”
“Yes. That’s exactly what I mean.”
I’ve said enough about what I wanted to say.
“Then, please enjoy the rest of your meal slowly. T-Bone and the rest of the friends will show you where to sleep. Oh! And… you can come see me for a moment.”
“I-I haven’t finished eating yet.”
Cheon Yu-seong, who was pointed out, leaned back in surprise.
It was a movement that showed a strong will to go even 1 cm further away.
“Let’s go to the rooftop and have a private meal. There is an outdoor terrace where you can enjoy the amazing view of the moonlit night. There, even if you push a person outside, not a rat or a bird will notice.”
“I don’t like it…everything.”
Cheon Yu-seong shook his head with a face filled with fear.
“I’m sorry, but you don’t have a choice. The conditions for renting you for today are my conditions for Moorim.”
“Well, that can’t be possible! Is that really true?”
“I’m sorry. They threatened to block my access if I refused….”
Baek Seol-lin trailed off.
good.
Now that Baek Seol-lin’s consent has been obtained, the long-awaited time for revenge has arrived.
I feel like my fingertips are tingling with how much I will have to suffer to the point of death.
‘If I put on a maid’s outfit and get 100 million views on ViewTube, I’ll watch it, and if it’s not enough, I’ll lose one for each view.’
I felt like that was enough to relieve some of the stress I had accumulated so far.
It was when Jinhyuk, who had made his decision, was about to get up.
Creepy!
The same feeling I felt before passed through my heart once again.
An eerie and strange feeling of discomfort.
‘This can’t be… … .’
Jinhyuk raised his head.
And it could be said that it was almost the same time.
[Damn Seongju! It’s the enemy! Space movement coordinates have been recorded within this fortress!]
The white tree, Tangrasil, roared through the electric sound.
As expected, the reverberation of this magic power was a phenomenon that appeared due to spatial movement from a very distant place.
surprise attack.
A very strong guy is coming too.
‘If you were trying to catch me off guard, you ended up stabbing me when it hurt the most.’
A situation where Tangrasil’s barrier cannot function properly due to a single battle.
Therefore, Tangrasil’s barriers could not block this great magic.
The rest of the people in the inner room felt the same thing.
“What on earth is this…!”
“Is he a guy with a swollen liver? I can’t believe there’s someone picking on this member.”
Baek Seol-lin and Nam Gung-cheon drew their swords.
“Your Excellency the Count. We will take you behind us!”
“Yes, yes. Don’t let a single hair touch my body.”
The knights of the Empire also summoned Titans and protected Hobier.
1 second. 2 seconds. And 3 seconds.
Kwaaaaang!
A loud noise echoed throughout the castle.
＊＊＊
[The gate is activated!]
With a red status window.
The ground cracked.
Soon, a skeleton appeared from the deep abyss, its entire body covered in flames and lava.
Good luck!
Grumble!
The beautiful garden suddenly began to turn into a sea of fire.
“Krrrrr…….”
Dark red flames flowed from the Flame Skull’s mouth.
Jinhyuk frowned.
shit. No wonder this guy is coming.
I expected that something unusual would come, but I had no idea that such a non-standard monster would appear.
‘Did the Mine Association use a shortcut?’
Those who had not yet obtained several sacred objects, including the ‘filth-eating jar’ taken from the psychiatric ward, must have used the next best solution.
The idea is to kill time like this and then get the hidden piece to get through the 15th floor where the Wailing Witch is.
‘Because I can bind myself, the empire, and the martial arts world at the same time… … ‘Of all the possible moves, this is probably the most efficient move.’
Jinhyuk took out a longbow, ‘Molar’, from the subspace inventory.
If we’re going to deal with that guy, we can’t do it like this.
“Elise!”
Jinhyuk called Ellis.
“Yes! It’s here.”
[The magic power injected into ‘Braham’s Ring’ has been alleviated!]
Jinhyuk dismantled Ellis’ seal one step further.
Clap!
The ban was lifted, and Ellis’ height increased by about 5cm.
“I’ll give you a mission to do from now on. Listen carefully.”
“Well, if I don’t do this, it will turn into a sea of fire. So what can I do?”
“There must be someone who opens the gate and binds the Flame Skull to the real world. Find him and eliminate him.”
To mortally wound the Flame Skull, you must first deal with the necromancer who brought it to these stairs.
Obviously, it’s hiding somewhere around here and supplying magical power.
We have to get rid of that damn demon right away to have a chance of winning.
and.
Among them, only Ellis is the one who can track down the light demon energy.
Since the seal was dismantled by one level, the magic detection ability would have increased incomparably compared to before.
“Can you survive without me?”
“You have to take as long as possible. If possible, don’t exceed 30 minutes.”
If that happens, the entire base we worked so hard to gain may turn into ashes.
It was then.
“For something like this to happen at the celebration of becoming the lord of the castle… it is indeed an event worthy of you. Perhaps the saying that good is good and evil is true may be true.”
Cheon Yu-seong clicked his tongue next to him.
“Why does it look like your face is refreshed?”
“That can’t be possible. It’s a sad face that a long-awaited happy event has been ruined.”
I… … See how the corners of my mouth turn up?
‘You are really dead. I’ll see you when I’m done.’
Jinhyuk gritted his molars and ran away.
Ellis flew out of the castle. Wolyoung and Andria also followed Jinhyeok and prepared for the upcoming battle.
Fuuuuuuu!
Quaaaang!
Tangrasil’s tree trunk blocked the movement of the flame skull for a moment.
But it was only for a moment.
As the volcanic bombs flew all at once, all the plants were engulfed in flames and began to burn.
“Koooooo!”
It was as if the devil appeared from hell and was reenacting a scene from the Book of Revelation.
Jinhyeok, who was seated by the window, protested at his ‘molar’.
Parts!
The red arrow made of magical power burned fiercely.
‘Whoa…’ … .’
Calmly catch your breath and wait for the optimal timing.
The magical energy that was running wild through my veins subsided at some point.
… … Now!
[Lv8 ‘Red Magic Bullet’ is activated!]
A red flash blinked.
[Lv11 ‘Glacier Sculpture’ is activated!]
And above that flash, ice blades split into hundreds of branches swirled around.
[Lv9 ‘Daylight’ is activated!]
Finally, a dazzling brilliance covered them all as one.
A sniper that combines as many as three skills.
A huge amount of magic power extended towards the flame skull.
