Episode 278 How to practice stagnant water (1)
“Mwaaaa!”
“Maaaaa!”
The one-eyed goblins swung bats larger than their own bodies.
“Spirit Special Forces! Strengthen your back and hips and hold on!”
The spirits at the front did their best to follow Jinhyeok’s orders.
Undine, who was happiest while drinking lemonade, is nowhere to be seen.
In its place, all that remains is the image of a spirit beast with its small, thin arms and legs trembling.
“Lord, master!”
“They are so reckless. Rather, we are not meant for close combat in the first place!”
“I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.”
“Everyone be quiet. I have a headache.”
Judgment Day. Would it be like this if there were sinners who repented to God?
Seeing them cry out for help makes me feel like the congestion that has been building up for so long is going away a little.
Of course, only about 3% of 100% sank.
This means that there is still a long way to go.
“Wagjak. Filth. Ododog.”
Jinhyuk sat down on the stairs and bit into a cookie.
It has a nutty and salty taste, and I understand why everyone enjoyed it so much.
Plus a drink with ice floating on it.
Ugh. If this is happiness, then it is happiness.
“Can’t I stop now? Besides, a rapier. I’ve never used one before!”
“Mosquito, mosquito.”
Ellis and Sweet Potato were also sweating profusely.
Ellis has her magical power sealed during battle and is restricted to using only a rapier.
Because of this, he was not able to show even 1/100th of his original ability.
Goguma also limited its attacks to headbutting while wearing a helmet with a single horn on its head.
On the surface, this is because the ancient species’ body slam had an ‘armor-piercing’ effect.
In reality, it was the crime of failing to properly manage his subordinates, plus the shameful crime of giggling and hanging out with them.
“Quiet! Do you think it makes sense that the matriarch of Ataraxia can’t use a rapier, the main melee weapon of vampires?”
“Well, that’s because I’m the queen….”
“All I have to do is give orders from behind?”
“huh!”
“Until you leave the prison, you will only swing the rapier on the front line. I will test it myself later, so take responsibility and improve your swordsmanship skills.”
Master said we’d see each other tomorrow morning, but… … .
This prison is by no means a place that can be cleared entirely in one day.
If it is as short as three days, if it is as long as it takes a week or more.
“By the way, I just ate all the snacks and drinks you brought.”
“……entire?”
“So, you better work hard. The only lunch I packed is pineapple pizza. Oh, no. I also brought a lot of mint chocolate for dessert. Hey, it’s going to be a very fun raid.”
“…green…apple pizza? Mint…chocolate?”
“It’s been popular recently, and it suits my taste quite a bit. The sweet and crunchy texture is very nice. We also paid attention to health by adding a lot of spice called ‘cilantro’, so you can look forward to mealtime.”
“……Oh my god.”
Ellis froze on the spot with his mouth open in a daze.
It seems like I just saw a soul-like gas escaping from the mouth.
“Mosquito, mosquito!”
Feeling a sense of crisis, Goguma fervently appealed his innocence.
He asked me to take into account his major in obtaining treasures from Kunlun.
“Yes, our exorcist did some good things, right?”
“Mogi Mosquito! Moogii!”
The sweet potato nodded its head up and down vigorously.
However, Chapter 1, Verse 1 of the old text tells us to repay the favor half-heartedly or sometimes forget about it and instead repay the enemy 100 times.
“Until you can subdue ten low-level goblins and one mid-level goblin by body-butting. If you try to trick me, I’ll pour mint chocolate on top of the magic stone and feed it to you, so think carefully.”
“mosquito?”
Sweet potatoes also froze while standing.
＊＊＊
How much time has passed?
Once everyone became familiar with their roles, the full-scale raid began.
The goblins in the Heavenly Demon Church’s prison were originally practice partners to train church members.
It specializes in defense rather than attack power, and the use of various spells has helped improve its skills in many ways.
Quaaaang!
Quang!
Although they were outnumbered, the spirit beasts with a solid formation took charge of the vanguard.
“Mosquitoy!”
“Die! Die! Die!”
With the addition of Sweet Potato, who throws her entire body, and Ellis, who swings her rapier like crazy, it has quite a powerful breakthrough power.
Now, it has reached a level where a group of 20 goblins can be eliminated within 10 minutes.
‘It will be possible to conquer it faster than you think.’

Jinhyuk smiled with satisfaction.
Is this what it feels like to be able to read each other’s breathing and thoughts?
The team play was absolutely perfect.
Of course, this is why it is important to trust each other and be together.
Just like the heroes from old comic books or animations.
“I wonder if one day, when I am in danger, my colleagues will jump in and save me, and I will have such a heart-warming experience.”
Ellis, Sweet Potato, and Cheon Yu-seong would all say a memorial speech in front of the grave, thanking them for saving them.
Considering the grace I have always been shown, it was a very possible imagination.
‘I’m a true bastard too. ‘I almost cried.’
As I thought about the unknown future, the tip of my nose felt sore for no reason.
But that was right then.
“Master! Don’t be fooled! The big guy is coming from over there!”
Kukukukukuku!
From Jinhyuk’s side.
The stone wall began to collapse.
1m… … 2m… … 4m.
It is a huge pit that is almost 5 meters long.
“Muwaaaaaaaa!”
What appeared there were two goblins that were three times larger than ordinary goblins.
Is it a mid-level goblin?
One is a combat type guy.
The other guy is carrying an amulet, which means he can use magic.
Looking at the collapsed stairs leading to the second floor, it seems like these guys are the last gatekeepers on the first floor.
‘Hmm.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
good. It’s just the right time.
Since I came to the Heavenly Demon Church this time, I was planning to improve the skills I had and acquire skills through fusion.
There are a lot of people coming out to practice for that purpose.
“I’ll take care of this guy. You guys keep doing what you’re doing.”
Jinhyuk walked up to the middle-level goblin without listening to his answer.
Before I knew it, I was holding the greatsword ‘Armor Breaker’ in my hand.
The arm had been changed to ‘Tombgrave’s right arm’, the great hero of the Giants.
“Muwak?”
The intermediate goblin tilted his head.
I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed because the enemy, who was much smaller than me, suddenly looked huge.
[The ‘Gap’ stat is activated.]
[The target is intimidated due to the level difference.]
I usually only fight against strong guys, so I didn’t really feel it.
Gap stats do not just narrow the gap with the strong.
Due to the effect of despising the weak, it also has the effect of giving a feeling of intimidation to low-level targets.
“M-mwaa?”
The middle-level goblin took a step back without realizing it due to the terrifying intimidation emanating from Jinhyeok’s body.
But it was only for a moment.
[The intermediate goblin activates its unique ability ‘Guardian of Prison’!]
[Attack and defense increase by 10%!]
[Immunity against status ailments increases by 30%!]
“Muwaaaa!”
The obsession with killing the intruder suppressed the fear.
Immediately, a huge horned bat rushed towards Jinhyuk’s head.
Kwaaaaang!
The ground cracked and cracked with a loud noise.
This is because it could not withstand the weight of the powerful impact.
but.
… … That’s it!
A tinnitus where iron and iron cry.
Jinhyuk took the blow so calmly.
“For a goblin, strength isn’t bad.”
Of course, compared to medium and large monsters such as the King of Giants and Antrad, it is cute.
“But that’s not how you press down with force.”
Jinhyuk smiled and tilted the angle of his sword about 3 degrees.
As the balance was broken, the goblin’s bat slid towards Jinhyeok’s head again.
And the moment those words ended,
[The unique ability ‘Wind Realm’ is activated!]
Jinhyuk’s body disappeared.
A gust of wind rose.
The place that appeared was behind the goblin.
The layers of wind amplified the pressure of the sword, making it shake even more violently.
There.
[The unique ability ‘High Speed Sword’ is activated!]
A sword of speed that made you forget the weight of the great sword was added.
The blade disappeared.
Afterwards, the handle and the arm holding it gradually became blurred.
Although it is not visible to the eye, countless divided swords are vibrating at high speed.
“Bwaaaaah!”
Overwhelming despair.
The intermediate goblin couldn’t even lift a finger in the approaching storm.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
One day is worth a thousand steps.
Countless sword strikes turned into countless pieces.
‘I don’t think it would be a bad idea to do close linkage this way.’
Although I used three powerful unique abilities, it didn’t put much strain on my body.
This was thanks to the magic stat of 273.
next… … .
Jinhyuk’s gaze turned to another intermediate level goblin who was reciting a spell.
“Mumouuu.”
Is it because of the shock of losing a colleague for nothing?
The mid-level goblin showed his full power without paying attention from the beginning.
The three amulets I was holding in my hand seemed to be burning at the same time, and then turned into characters representing flame.
Grumble!
A large, hot flame appeared that seemed to engulf the entire body.
“It’s a fire-type spell….”
It is a spell that exerts the greatest power in an enclosed space.
However, flames are consumed by even bigger flames.
[Lv1 ‘Hellfire’ is activated!]
The color of the flames around Jinhyuk’s body changed to a darker color.
At the same time, the temperature in the prison suddenly changed.
Skill level is only 1.
Nevertheless, the heat that made the skin go numb was of a different order in itself.
[The unique ability ‘Black Tears’ is activated!]
The skills copied from Maria were combined with the skills obtained from the Wailing Witch.
The color of the flame changed once again.
A dark purple fire.
The shape vaguely resembled a dragon.
The appearance of an ancient species whose true name has not yet been revealed.
“Moaaa…….”
The goblin looked at the flame as if possessed.
It looks like he can’t even think of fighting back.
In the end, the only remaining option is flight.
The goblin’s body floated into the air and was shot like a bullet toward the second basement floor.
“I’m sorry, but you can’t run away.”
A purple-colored fireball quickly followed the goblin’s back.
Parts… … !
In a split-second, a sword swept across the goblin’s upper body.
＊＊＊
“Waaa… Master, master? Is this the master I knew?”
“Strong. We had a hard time even against small goblins.”
“Mooogi.”
Spirit Tree and Sweet Potato opened their eyes and let out exclamations.
“Well, well… it’s pretty good. But I can do that too. Look.”
Ellis swung the rapier clumsily.
Then he stabbed the low-ranking goblin in the butt.
“Mwaaaa!”
“Hey!”
The goblin immediately attached itself to Ellis’ head.
However, even while everyone was leisurely finishing the raid.
Jinhyeok’s eyes were resting on the body of the dead mid-level goblin.
A small flame burning inside a blue crystal.
It is a by-product called ‘goblin fire’.
‘Each one is nothing special, but if you gather a large number of them and go through a refining process, they will show a unique effect that can bewitch people… … .’
okay. That was information I knew up to that point.
the problem is… … .
This is not a by-product from the goblins on the 20th floor.
These can only be seen on the upper floors of the tower, at least on the 30th floor… … .
‘It can’t be a natural phenomenon.’
if.
Unless someone planted it intentionally.
