Episode 346 The great powers of the upper echelon (4)
Philosopher’s Stone.
It is almost a multi-purpose tool in itself, and the things you can do using it are endless.
It is literally a holy relic called the crystal of dreams for alchemists.
and.
Jinhyuk created a replica for this auction.
‘I really had a hard time.’
In the first place, how to make the Philosopher’s Stone is advanced information that only a very small number of alchemists know.
It goes without saying that there are a lot of ingredients to prepare.
‘It wouldn’t have been possible without everyone’s voluntary help.’
Jinhyuk briefly recalled the past.
They also harassed Grandpa Orun, the blacksmith… … They also robbed Ellis’ treasure trove.
I had a truly spectacular time directing the spirit beasts to gather materials from various places inside the tower.
‘The effect is… … Are you sure.’
The red liquid applied to my wrist glowed softly.
As the sweet scent rose, the homunculus’ pupils began to tremble rapidly.
He felt the same energy as his source.
Bond.
Yes.
This bond is necessary to win obedience from the original homunculus.
The rest of the gods failed because they tried to achieve it solely through force, but Jinhyeok saw exactly what the host wanted.
Now all that’s left is… … .
All you have to do is find the right combination of bond and skill.
“Whoa….”
Jinhyuk caught his breath.
The magic power inside the body circulated smoothly, and the blade of the fang was covered in blue light.
[The unique ability ‘Heavenly Demon God’ is activated!]
Moment.
Kukukukukukuku!
A tremendous energy swirled around.
The Heavenly Demon in his prime was one of the absolutes that even gods could not do anything to.
Therefore, his unique martial arts skills alone were enough to arouse awe.
“I knew that he was active in the martial arts world, but did he even master the Heavenly Demon Divine Art?”
“But that’s it. The unique Holy Spear didn’t work at all, and even if it was a Heavenly Demon Divine Art, the result wouldn’t change.”
“That’s true. Even if you learned martial arts from the Heavenly Demon, if you think about the period of time, your level cannot be high.”
The gods each said a word.
Most of them had a negative stance.
It’s a natural thing.
It was undoubtedly true that Jinhyuk was an excellent player, but that was only within the scope of his level.
Compared to the apostles they had chosen, they could not be said to be exceptional.
but.
A few deities had completely contrary thoughts.
“Heh.”
The corners of Beriel’s mouth turned up.
“…….”
“…….”
Thor and Loki, who have represented Northern Europe, also observed Jinhyeok with careful eyes.
“Hmph. There’s no way that scary guy can’t handle something like that.”
Anubis also snorted.
They are all gods who have personally experienced Jinhyeok or have various memories of him.
At least they believed that something strange would happen.
＊＊＊
The air gradually becomes tense.
Jinhyuk was the one who started it off.
Heavenly Demon Reign.
Quang!
With deep footprints on the ground. Jinhyuk’s body disappeared like the wind.
“……!”
The homunculus immediately swung its spear.
As usual, a pair of pikes formed a pinwheel.
Kakakakang!
The canine that approached from the side flew out.
As expected, it is not easy.
‘I don’t think it would be enough to fake it two or three times.’
Jinhyuk raised his Heavenly Demon skill even further.
fault!
I thought I heard the sound of rustling the ground.
Before I knew it, Jinhyuk appeared from the other side.

‘Black Heaven Demon Emperor’.
‘First ceremony (第一式).’
‘Black Ring Dark Fist’!
Kwaaaaang!
A blow aimed at the back.
However, the homunculus ignored even that attack.
As if deflecting Medesus’ unique holy spear. Instead of receiving strong attacks head-on, he adhered to the method of dispersing the force.
“As expected, I knew it would happen like that.”
“I guess I’ll just drag on and wait for the host to stop.”
“It’s really tough. I can’t believe there is a doll that can avoid attacks so well.”
The negative reaction soon hardened into confidence.
The game is over.
however.
Even as everyone was making conclusions, Jinhyuk caught a glimpse of something from the previous battle.
‘good.’
Although it was a counterfeit product, the scent flowing through the ‘Philosopher’s Stone’ stimulated the homunculus.
Finely. The other person was slow to react.
Sensation from your fingertips.
Just a little faster… … .
If only it were a little sharper.
[The unique ability ‘High Speed Sword’ is activated!]
[The unique ability ‘Shadow Killer’ is activated!]
Quang!
Kakakakang!
Jinhyuk swung his fangs in all directions.
It moves through shadows and shadows, and thanks to the high-speed sword, its attack speed is twice as fast.
Now, the dagger’s trajectory itself has become blurry.
“……eww.”
A short groan came from the mouth of the homunculus that was frantically defending against the attack.
Now!
The point where vision and sight intersect.
Jinhyuk actually lowered the tempo of his attack by one level.
‘Glacier Sculpture’
‘Ice Jade Kaleidoscope’
Parts!
A thin layer of frost began to rise along the ground.
The cold dulled my senses. As the body temperature dropped, the body began to hallucinate.
The homunculus’ small mouth opened blankly.
“ah……!”
The short moan turned into a deep moan.
I just slowly raised my hand as if I was mesmerized by the splendid and beautiful sight I had never seen before.
[The ‘Replica Philosopher’s Stone’ deepens the bond with the target.]
[‘Communication ability’ is activated!]
[The unique ability ‘Mentra Taming’ is activated!]
Status windows appear one after another.
The abilities I had accumulated so far shone brightly.
“iced coffee…….”
The homunculus’s agitation grew even louder.
Their stamina was exhausted due to the continuous skirmishes. A situation where one’s mind is confused due to various communication skills.
Since you are trapped in the ‘Ice Prison Kaleidoscope’ at the peak of the fire, you will inevitably be confused.
And that gap… … .
… … Jinhyuk dug into it accurately.
Tuk.
The tip of the fang touched the homunculus’ neck.
A drop of red liquid from the Philosopher’s Stone ran down his throat.
The two people’s eyes met directly.
Blue eyes that looked as if they were going to be sucked in were turned to Jinhyuk.
“I’m not good at roasting and boiling things with long-winded words.”
They say they will treat you with the best treatment. I cannot say that I will give you a status higher than that of a doll if you join our forces.
“But I don’t want to force you to obey by threatening me.”
There is no such thing as loyalty in subservience that is merely suppressed.
Even if the target is an emotionless being.
“But I can promise you one thing. At least if you stay with me, I won’t have to use you as an outcast.”
Jinhyuk quietly retrieved the sword that touched his neck.
There was no reaction of rejection.
This probably means positivity.
In fact, the magic emanating from the homunculus had completely disappeared.
“From today onwards, I am your master.”
“master.”
The homunculus pondered those words carefully.
Tuk.
It was at that moment that my knees touched the ground.
Blue hair flowed gently down her neck.
With that, the owner of the homunculus was decided.
＊＊＊
The inside of the auction house was turned upside down due to Jinhyuk and the homunculus.
I thought someone would take the homunculus, but I never imagined it would be a player.
“Alright, great gods. The auction is over. The host doesn’t want any more fuss, so why don’t we just leave?”
If the host had not stopped him at the right time, all the gods might have eaten Jinhyeok alive.
That’s why this was an unprecedented incident.
When the host announced that the auction had ended, everyone withdrew with regret.
The place became a little quiet like that.
Where the gods disappeared, only the apostles who followed them remained.
Medesus, who had represented Olympus, approached Jinhyeok.
“……This is my first time talking to you in person. My name is Medessus. I am a resident who received the blessings of Hermes and became his apostle.”
A ranker who even possesses a unique sacred spear.
Seeing it up close gave me quite a new feeling.
Normally, you only have a chance to meet this guy once or twice if you reach the late 20th floor.
“I was very impressed by what happened a little while ago. To be honest, I had no idea that someone with this level of skill was climbing the tower from below the middle layer.”
From the apostles’ perspective, the current players are just kids who have just had a taste of the tower.
Compared to themselves, this means that they still have 10 more years to go before they can even have a conversation.
“There are quite a few talented people down there, including me.”
“Yes. From now on, I plan to pay more attention to the lower part. In that sense… can you tell me what floor of the tower you are staying on?”
“The order was a little messed up, but I’m thinking of going to the 19th floor this time.”
“It’s the 19th floor….”
Medesus nodded slightly.
“It will be a long time before we meet again. Hurry up and come up. I look forward to the day when we can fight together in the upper levels of the tower someday.”
“Yes. I don’t know if it will be an enemy or an ally, but I’ll be looking forward to it too.”
Establishing a relationship with Medesus will definitely come in handy in the future.
The business at the auction house was concluded with a brief exchange of greetings.
＊＊＊
It was a few hours later that I returned to reality.
Beriel This leech-like thing was so persistent that I thought I was going to die trying to get it off.
“Sit down comfortably. For now, this is my home outside the tower. The cost of staying outside the tower was taken from Ellis’ wallet, so don’t worry.”
“All right.”
The homunculus looked around the hotel room and sat down on the sofa.
‘First, let’s check how much it is.’
Jinhyuk activated ‘Eye of Gluttony’ and looked at the homunculus’ status window.
Tiring!

crazy… … .
What kind of ridiculous specifications do you have?
Even though it has just been created, the base level is close to 200.
However, what was surprising was not simply that the basic specifications were high.
‘The wise man’s protection stat is a whopping 368.’
The highest stat that can be obtained only by clearing special conditions such as gap or adaptive.
In addition, it was possible to open the unique Holy Spear, so it was truly a bonanza.
Jinhyuk barely suppressed the cheers that erupted.
At the same time, I wanted to give something as a gift to this lucky person.
“You don’t have a name right now, do you? A name. That… a word to call you.”
“Your name… do you mean? Where I was originally from, they called me Homunculus.”
“Hmm. Really? I can’t keep calling you that, so I’ll give you a suitable name. Even though it’s like this, my naming sense is amazing.”
“I would be honored if you could give me any name.”
The homunculus quickly nodded in a slightly flushed voice.
hmm. Let’s see.
What name should I give you so that you will remember me for a long time?
fantasy, game,
