Solo Max-Level Newbie Chapter 262

Episode 262 Seven Deadly Sins (3)

“…What do you mean, it’s a plan that benefits us all?”

Nirasha’s hand stopped.

Then, an even deeper smile appeared on Tristan’s lips.

“Jinhyuk Kang.”

A person’s name.

That’s enough.

As expected, Nirasha’s facial expression changed noticeably.

“…Are you saying we should eliminate that human? By joining hands with you?”

“Haven’t you all suffered a lot from Kang Jin-hyuk? We, too, are grinding our teeth.”

“Killing that guy is definitely the gift I want to receive the most for Christmas this year. However, if my involvement with you guys is discovered, it won’t be a disgrace to the guild’s name. The guild itself may disappear altogether.”

If the ultimate goal of players climbing the tower is to prevent the destruction of humanity, the demons’ top concern is to make demons appear in this world.

Even if that weren’t the case, being with criminals who were all wanted would cause more harm than good.

“Well, that’s true, but all of that will only happen when our alliance becomes known to the outside world.”

“If you think you can prevent information leaks from a ruin that can even host live broadcasts… I think you are very mistaken.”

“It’s not an illusion. Of course, it’s not baseless nonsense either.”

because… … .

“Because we are currently with the owner of the ruins.”

A great witch who is skilled in curses and barriers.

If it’s a boss monster that has created as many as seven Gate Guardians, which is not easy to command just one… … .

It was also possible to deploy a barrier that could interfere with the broadcasting system.

The sneer completely disappeared from Nirasha’s face.

A union of boss monsters, mine associations, and top guilds.

“Certainly… if that’s the case, then there is a possibility.”

It is not something that can be prevented by just one player.

Even with the power of just one country, it won’t be easy.

“Can I take that to mean that you will join us?”

“First, listen to the plan.”

Even though I said that, my mind was already half-hearted.

Here, you just need to add a little bit of confidence.

“What Nirasha and the Gandhara Guild need to do is simple. Just cut off their supply and rear support, and we will take care of the rest.”

“If it’s a supply route… Olympus guild?”

“Yes. That’s it.”

Currently, the second attack party consisted of four people, including Jinhyeok, and players from Olympus.

Four people were in charge of the strategy, and the rest were in charge of the rear… … .

If they can be annihilated behind them, the ones in front will be completely isolated.

In a word, it means a rat in a poison.

“I guess they kept quiet until now to get it as deep as possible. It’s funny. I never thought the demons would be this patient.”

“Isn’t it a light job? You just have to take care of the little things and the main parts are gone, so there will be almost no risk.”

“Okay… but we won’t go to Olympus alone.”

“Are you really asking for support? You can easily wipe out the rear on your own, so why?”

“If the plan fails, I want to create a corner where I can retreat. At least I won’t be seen there.”

Nirasha drew a line as if she could not compromise on this much.

In the end, Tristan took a step back.

“Then, let us support an apostle. The apostle who oversees ‘wrath’. And Gawain will also help you.”

Support from Apostles and Mine executives.

That’s enough.

Enough is enough.

＊＊＊

Kukukukukuku!

The stone walls of the entire ruins moved simultaneously.

The obstacles that were in the way disappeared in an instant, and the various monsters that were rampaging to protect the territory also disappeared like smoke.

A clear road.

“Oppa… Isn’t this a bit strange?”

“Hyung. All the bugs have gone away.”

Yeon-hwa Yeon-hwa and Taemin Lee said one word at a time.

“I can’t feel any magical response around me. I guess they’ve disarmed all the barriers and traps throughout the ruins…”

Maria, who was using detection magic, also looked like she couldn’t understand.

On the other hand.

A strange laugh came out of Jinhyeok’s mouth.

‘indeed. Are you saying you’re going to come out like this?’

This is an invitation.

If you are confident, come here.

Although it was obvious that they were openly throwing bait, it probably meant that they had prepared a lot.

There is no reason to turn down the path you have to take anyway.

On the contrary, it saved me time, so I am thankful for this.

“Let’s go.”

“No, brother. Doesn’t this look like a trap? Should we just go?”

It’s a trap… … .

“It’s a trap if you can carefully tighten its breathing.”

This is just a play on the hope that it will happen.

“If I’m late, I’ll leave it behind?”

Jinhyuk took the lead.

“Your confidence is really… Ha. I will go. I will go.”

And then three people followed, shaking their heads.

How much did it cost?

After passing through a long passage, we arrived at a room filled with numerous stone statues of monsters.

A place called the so-called penance room.

This is the final gateway to the Wailing Witch.

At the same time, it was also a place guarded by the most difficult of the Seven Deadly Sins.

“Krrr…….”

It was at that time that I heard the sound of a lot of phlegm.

Coo! Coo! Coo!

An apostle well over 3 meters tall appeared between the stone statues.

Tusks protruding from green skin.

The bursting belly and muscular arms were quite impressive.

But what caught my eye the most was, of course, the huge cart he was pulling.

The cart filled with unidentified, bizarre pieces of meat and plants seemed to explain why he was called the ‘Apostle of Gluttony.’

Tiring!

A purple status window appeared in front of everyone.

[In order to make an effective attack on the Apostle of Gluttony, you must consume the ingredients in the cart he is pulling.]

[Other than that, the effects of all unique abilities and skills are nullified.]

The meat and plants contained in the cart contained a special ingredient called ‘pectekrosin’, and it had to be dissolved in magic to inflict damage to that apostle.

the problem is… … .

Not only did those ingredients look terrible, but they also had such a terrible smell and taste that an ordinary human being wouldn’t even be able to get them close to their mouths.

No matter how strong a person you are, this is absolutely impossible.

“Um, do you want me to eat that?”

Maria took a step back with a white face.

“It varies. Really.”

“If that’s the only way, I’ll have to try it… but it’ll be a pain in the ass.”

Yeo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who had experienced all sorts of things, also swallowed their dry saliva.

Right then.

“Goooooo!”

The Apostle of Gluttony, who discovered the intruder, took out a mace from inside the cart.

The distance narrowed in an instant.

Quang!

The mace grazed Jinhyeok’s head and shattered the stone statue of the monster right behind him.

‘It’s still fast.’

His movements are unbecoming of his size, like a wet swallow.

If I hadn’t known the characteristic of the little toe turning inward by about 3 degrees before maximum acceleration, I might have broken my head.

However, the attack did not end there.

It’s only just begun.

“Grraaaa!”

The Apostle of Gluttony swung his mace once again.

This time too, Jinhyuk avoided the attack by slightly changing the angle.

No, I thought I overlooked it.

Cheek!

A sharp pain felt in the shoulder.

It’s not because of the mace.

My skin burned when I touched the green smoke rising around the mace.

“You picked up only the spoiled food and ate it, and then you ended up covered in poison?”

Jinhyuk widened the distance further.

According to the system’s explanation, normal attacks from this side did not work, so there was no other way than to avoid it.

At least until I eat that food.

Of course, knowing a method and being able to put it into practice are two completely different things.

“Uh, wow…! Tongue, bro. This… wow!”

“This isn’t the level of the Bob Police, it’s the level of the Prosecutor’s Office. How are you telling me to do this?”

Taemin Lee and Yeonhwa Lee, who were trying to shovel their food in through gritted teeth, spit out what they had chewed.

Squishy gray chunks of meat fell to the floor.

No matter how urgent the situation is, I just can’t eat this.

Then suddenly the Apostle of Gluttony stretched out his hand toward the cart.

It’s as if they’re saying that food should be eaten this way.

“Guru gwaaaa!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The chunk of meat slid down my throat.

[Attack power increases by +10!]

[Agility increases by +12!]

[Movement speed increases by +8!]

Status windows that appear one after another.

The more you eat, the more your stats increase.

It’s probably not an illusion that his already thick arms seem to have gotten a little bigger.

“It tastes good. It’s all good, but chew it thoroughly. Do your best.”

Jinhyuk smiled bitterly.

“Goooooo!”

The Apostle of Gluttony roared wildly and began to rampage once again.

＊＊＊

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Quaaaang!

Unlike the Apostle of Gluttony, whose momentum increased, the companions were struggling.

Since I knew the only strategy, but couldn’t use it, it was bound to happen.

He was running away from the statues, but it was only a matter of time before he was caught up.

When the situation became overwhelmingly one-sided… … .

“You’re a little more calm now.”

“I felt like my stomach was twisted as I watched it break into someone else’s house and run amok. Now I have to think about how to kill it in the most painful way.”

A new voice chimed in.

Creepy!

The air is freezing.

An ominous, black energy began to encroach on the room full of stone statues.

I couldn’t ignore the black-haired beauty walking in front of me, but the real danger was the white-haired old woman wearing a worn-out robe.

There is no comparison with the apostles I have faced so far.

This horsepower.

This feeling.

… … It’s definitely true.

Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.

‘That old woman is the Weeping Witch.’

Since it has thousands of faces, I was curious what it would look like this time.

‘That old woman must be the Weeping Witch.’

We finally met.

The most important party in this raid.

“Those who are called demons and bosses are hiding in the back and come out only when our stamina is depleted? Isn’t that too cowardly?”

“Hehe. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to say wise?”

“……you?”

“My name is Tristan. I’m Lancelot’s colleague who fought against you… let’s say.”

It seems like there’s a bit more emotion attached to it than simply calling him a colleague.

What is certain is that they don’t seem to have any intention of sending it off in a nice way.

Jinhyuk glanced sideways toward the entrance to the ruins.

“If you are expecting any support, I would advise you to give up.”

“Why is that?”

“The Gandhara guild, Gawain, and the apostle in charge of anger all went to the direction where Olympus is located. Well, seeing them in such a difficult situation, I didn’t think there was any need for a joint attack.”

Tristan shrugged.

“Well, that can’t be possible….”

At those words that seemed like a bolt from the blue, an earthquake occurred in Maria’s pupils.

It was amazing that the demon and the boss of the ruins joined hands, but I never imagined that they would even betray the Gandhara guild.

If this is true, there is no hope.

The difference in power was so severe that we could not compete at all.

After being thoroughly defeated individually, we will end up surrounded from front and back.

but.

Even in a situation where everyone was in despair, Jinhyuk was still smiling.

“There are two things you are mistaken about. First, I was the one who was wasting time fighting that lump.”

“Hmm. Are you saying you did that on purpose?”

“I had to wait for you guys to crawl out. If you run away with your tail curled up, it would be quite a pain to track you down.”

To hunt perfectly, it is best to make your opponent think you are the hunter rather than the prey.

Because a clumsy illusion was the biggest reason for being careless.

“Secondly, I already knew that you would join hands with Gandhara.”

I have thought through all of the options the demons can choose from.

I knew that I would be with the Wailing Witch, but it would have been difficult to guarantee victory with that alone.

Therefore, it was not difficult to predict that he would approach Nirasha, who was obsessed with an inferiority complex.

“It’s not a bad plan to split up the forces and attack us and Olympus separately. The basic strategy is to cut off rear support and weaken the forces.”

It is the standard among the standard.

but… … .

Being standard also means that it is easy to predict.

“You should brag just the right amount. Are you telling us to believe that you predicted everything? If you’re thinking of swaying us by belatedly guessing the situation, you’re sorely mistaken.”

“It may be a bluff or it may not. Anyway, you’ll find out in a little while. Which of the two I’m talking about.”

“What… what do you mean?”

Tristan’s voice trembled slightly.

As Jinhyuk continued to speak confidently, he seemed to have lost a bit of confidence.

“It means that I also prepared at least some defenses for the rear.”

I called in reliable reinforcements.

maybe… … It must be much more powerful than what you prepared?
