Episode 325 Battle for a spouse (3)
Appearing along the alley were two women.
There was a neat and beautiful woman with long blond hair down to her waist, and next to her was a fairly young and mischievous-looking girl.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Iris de Reinhardt.”
The blonde beauty introduced herself first.
Reinhardt… … .
Come to think of it.
It certainly resembles other Reinhardts I met in the Empire.
The princes were full of very handsome men, and the princesses were also amazing.
Jinhyuk swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
“Please call me Mayu. My dad asked me to come back with my brother. Don’t worry and come with me. My dad is really strong and has a lot of money!”
A girl with bronze skin and short hair smiled brightly.
In that case, this girl must be the youngest daughter of the Murim Lord.
I had expected it after looking at the participation list, but the best players in the middle class gathered in one place.
“Master. To just show your back… they are both formidable talents.”
“What do you plan to do? If you want, I can at least buy you some time.”
Wolyoung and Cheon Yuseong asked Jinhyeok’s opinion.
Iris and Mayu have some basic skills, but the seal was lifted thanks to the support of each faction, so there is a limit to how much Cheon Yu-seong and Wol-yeong can hold them back.
but.
“No, you don’t have to.”
Jinhyuk shook his head leisurely.
No matter how much Iris and Mayu have strong backs, it is no use.
Because the richest guy in this competition has already been decided.
Even if it doesn’t, it’s about time… … .
The moment I thought that.
Quaaaang!
With a roar.
“What are these guys? They barely managed to get rid of that damn idiot saintess. Why are there so many competitors!”
An enraged Ellis took out dozens of harpoons made of blood.
[Elise activates her unique ability ‘Blood Lord’!]
“That person….”
“Oh! What is it? A strong-looking enemy has appeared!”
Iris and Mayu also drew their own weapons.
Soon, a desperate struggle to obtain the Rose of Eternity unfolded.
＊＊＊
A gap created by Ellis’ intrusion.
Jinhyuk leisurely left the alley.
Because we were so busy fighting each other, we didn’t have time to worry about anything else.
For those girls who had location tracking items, they could catch Jinhyuk again at any time, but with fellow competitors, there was a risk of being eliminated if they let their guard down.
And while everyone is confident that the premise will never be shaken.
Finally, all of Jinhyuk’s plans were completed.
“……huh?”
“uh?”
A group of women from the empire were walking together and felt a strange sense of discomfort.
The hard ground seemed to become soft for a moment.
Sigh!
In an instant, it swallowed my ankle and sucked it down.
The traps created by the spirit beasts began to operate in earnest.
“Aaaah!”
“W-what is it?”
Five people were hit by the mud created by the gnomes.
My dress and clothes became a mess because I got sucked into the mud.
On the other hand, the Salamander was vigorously spewing out flames.
Grumble!
The makeup I put so much effort into was melting in the blazing heat. Her hair, which was once stylish, was charred.
“Aaaah!”
“Uh, what should I do!”
“My… hair! I’ve been doing this for 3 hours. It’s ruined. It’s all ruined!”
Hell unfolding everywhere.
However, the long-awaited disaster has not yet begun.
Rumble!
Quack!
Thunder rumbled in the distance.
Even though the entire Wulin region maintained sunny weather, dark clouds began to form especially in Luoyang.
[‘Thunderstorm’ is occurring due to the effect of Yeouiju.]
“I am a noble dragon… supreme. sacred… I guess you could say, a divine beast. Hehe. I often hear that I am the most honorable among the gods of the four directions. That is this body.”
The blue dragon, or rather the soft black crane, muttered a self-deprecating mutter.
“mosquito!”

“Ah, I see. You’re working hard to make it rain. You’re good at what I tell you to do.”
“Mosquito mosquito.”
Under Sweet Potato’s shimmering watch, soft black cranes poured down heavy rain.
-Raffle: Wow. The participants looked like drowned mice?
-Good friend: ㄹㅇ. There is no such thing as a devil. The third daughter of the marquis I bet on seems to have no hope at all. Her dress turns black.
-jus: Me too. I lost all the coins I bet. Ha, I saved it for 3 monthsㅠㅠ
-Jang Geo: If you were going to aim for high dividends, shouldn’t you have used the blue-chip stock Ellis Coin? Even though the dividends are low, it’s as satisfying as hot soup.
-jxh: ㅇㅈ. Honestly, one shot of a bamboo spear made of Ellis’ blood would make everyone quiet.
Reactions from viewers poured out in confusion.
It was because I could not have imagined that so many people would be eliminated so quickly.
Even among the VIPs watching in the banquet hall, reactions of astonishment continued.
“uh…….”
“Woah, my daughter….”
The empire’s nobles stared blankly at the screen.
“I raised it like a golden jade leaf… but is this how it ended up falling out?”
“Hehe. My child has never even met Confucius Kang.”
The heads and elders of the martial arts faction and the sect also had a bitter taste in their mouths.
“Hahahaha! This is outrageous. To be honest, I thought you would be very embarrassed, but after all, objects are objects. This is the only way for everyone to be eliminated.”
The Murim lord, Ma Taebong, burst into laughter.
His daughter also participated, but Ma Taebong seemed more happy with the way things were going.
Lastly, Cheonma, who was watching Jinhyeok’s activities from the farthest distance, quietly opened his mouth.
“Dark Emperor.”
“Yes. Supreme.”
“Be nice to that guy. Even if he whines a little or acts unruly, don’t mess with him.”
“That’s right. If you make an enemy of him, honestly, I think it’ll be more of a headache than Sima Zhi or Demon Demon Commander.”
“He is even scarier than the blood demon I fought 10 years ago. I feel like he instinctively knows what to do to make people suffer the most.”
“…I can see it that way too.”
The two people looked at the screen in silence.
＊＊＊
How long has it been since the scramble began?
Those who were struggling to obtain the Rose of Eternity disappeared one by one.
And finally.
Of the 279 people, only eight remain.
On the Empire’s side, Princess Iris and the second daughter of Count Melmorn survived.
On the Murim side, the names of Mayu, the youngest daughter of the Murim lord, Baek Seol-lin of Hwasan, and So Cheong-ah, So Yu-myeong’s younger sister, are displayed in blue.
Lastly, from the side consisting of the player and the residents of other floors, of course, Ellis, Teresa, and Andrea remained.
“It’s really terrible. Even if I do this, he won’t give up. How much more do you think I have to torture him for him to give up? Hmm. Should I try tricking him into eating stinky tofu with mapo tofu this time?”
Jinhyuk is in serious trouble.
Most of the time, I cried and raised a white flag because I was caught in a bad trap.
The people who remained now were determined to continue even if the sky was split in two.
“At this point, wouldn’t it be okay to just pretend like we can’t win and hand over the rose? I’m sure everyone gathered here because they’re interested in you anyway. I think we need to choose at least one person.”
Cheon Yu-seong, who was watching quietly, said something.
Of course, Jinhyeok did not ignore those words.
“Not for me. It’s for the benefit of this rose’s power and the power you belong to. Besides, this is a kind of event quest. You have to accept it wisely, what if you take it seriously?”
“…It’s okay. I shouldn’t have said anything. It’s not that you don’t have any sense, it’s that you’re completely emotionless.”
“Hmm. I don’t know about anyone else, but I feel really bad hearing that from you.”
Jinhyeok and Cheon Yuseong bickered.
“My lord. Still, I’m glad there are only eight people left. There’s only about a minute left, so doesn’t it mean that my lord is actually victorious?”
“That’s right. We probably won’t even be able to come here because we’ll be keeping each other in check.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
however.
There was one fact that everyone was overlooking.
Among the items submitted for this event, there is a holy relic that can turn the situation around in just one minute.
[A relic with an ‘absolute judgment’ effect has been used for this area!]
Suddenly, rapidly changing vision.
Kukukukukukuku!
A powerful magical energy swirled around the area where the three people were.
“This……!?”
“My lord!”
Cheon Yu-seong and Wol-yeong immediately tried to leave.
However, the red pillars that engulfed the area did not allow the people inside to get out.
“Hehehehe! Did you think you won?”
“Hehe! There’s still one minute left!”
It was at that moment that I heard a sinister laugh.
I saw Teresa with her long blonde hair and Andrea with her bestial expression on display.
furthermore.
Jerk.
Left and right. And familiar faces were seen at the rear as well.
“Aren’t you looking down on me too much by attaching two escorts?”
“The Empire does not back down easily.”
“Now give up obediently.”
The eight people realized that if things continued like this, no one could win, so they joined forces.
First, they surrounded Jinhyuk tightly so that he could not escape.
After that, let’s leave it up to each person’s ability to decide who will get the Rose of Eternity.
The plan worked exactly.
By activating the strongest abilities through collected coins.
[Eight participants request absolute judgment ‘Area of Bondage’.]
An unusual magical power stirred.
“Absolutely… decision. Damn. Isn’t that dangerous?”
Cheon Yu-seong instinctively flinched.
“It’s okay. The activation conditions for the absolute judgment items that can be used in this event are very strict. Those guys just lost coins and relics.”
“Really?”
“Have you been deceived? That condition is something they can never solve?”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
And as if to prove that point.
Tiring!
A blue status window appeared.
[In order to activate event conditions, a high level of understanding of the target is required.]
[Describe the subject ‘Kang Jin-hyuk’s favorite food at the Tower of Trials, how to cook it, and the number of times he ate it in the past 3 months.]
[The more detailed the explanation, the more effective the ability becomes.]
“Look, how can you guess this? No matter how crazy you are….”
However, Jinhyuk could not finish speaking.
“Nanananananana!”
Because Alice was waving her hands like crazy like a child who knew the answer.
huh?
no way… … ?
“I like to roast rainbow shrimp caught using Tengkong River larvae slowly over low heat for 1 hour, 15 minutes, and 13 seconds, then sprinkle 13.5g of Assumptra salt from the 5th layer in 7 portions. I ate it 26 times in 3 months. “The last time I ate was exactly 62 hours, 15 minutes, and 33 seconds ago.”
Words pouring out like rapid fire.
Ellis puffed out her chest proudly.
“I’m sure you said you’d never guess it right, right?”
“No, isn’t it strange that I know that from a human perspective? I’m not some kind of stalker, I know that.”
Words of injustice welled up in my throat.
However, what is important now is not how you memorized it all.
What Ellis said is true.
[The realm of bondage (highest level) is activated!]
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
“Pfft!”
The restraints made it impossible for my whole body to move.
There are only 10 seconds left.
Quang!
widely!
Eight people jumped at the same time.
“I……!”
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
“Aaaah!”
They bit and ripped each other, reaching out in different directions.
And among them, the winner is… … .
“Gotcha…!”
Ellis’s fingertips touched the rose of eternity on Jinhyuk’s right chest.
And he held the rose tightly in his hand.
[The event has ended.]
[Timeout: 0h:0m:0s]
“That’s it! I won! I won!”
Ellis cheered.
at the same time.
[There is no winner on the challenger side.]
[The winner is the tagger ‘Kang Jin-hyuk’!]
“……uh?”
The smile disappeared from Ellis’ face.
