Episode 357: New weapon (2)
Kukukukukuku!
The gnome once again turned the ground, and the piles of dirt that had filled the passage came pouring out.
A red door appeared in a place that had been closed a moment ago.
“Waaah! Master!”
“The door really came out just as the owner said!”
“How on earth did you know?”
The spirit beasts were jumping around in place.
‘good… … .’
Jinhyuk smiled with satisfaction.
Intuition built based on Uasis’s guidance and experience.
Two strong pillars created the current result.
“You guys are waiting here, securing an escape route.”
“Huh? Are you going to go in with the owner and that demon?”
“That’s right. This place is a little far from normal. It will be a bit dangerous for you guys to go there.”
Jinhyuk used the word ‘dangerous.’
The spirits themselves knew better than anyone else what that meant.
“Uh…uhh.”
“Ooh, we’ll be digging a tunnel outside.”
“Please don’t go and die… you must come back safely!”
The spirit beasts gave a warm greeting.
“Then, shall we go?”
“Yeah. It’s been a while since I’ve been floating around the ruins of the middle level, but it’s not that bad.”
Beriel, sitting on Jinhyuk’s shoulder, nodded.
My pupils are burning brightly.
It is probably an expression of his will to make the players he has chosen stronger and prevent them from interfering with Guntafer or any other entity.
‘I’m a little sorry, but… … .’
Can not help it.
Originally, the Tower of Trials was a world where people used each other and were exploited.
And as for Beriel, I plan to help her later when I go to the demon world.
The reason why that guy wants to turn such a strong player into a Black Apostle.
Jinhyuk knew that.
‘The principle is to repay enemies 100 times and favors only 1 times, but you still have to repay 1 times.’
At least I had no intention of betraying a colleague I thought was important.
[Enter the Hidden Place of ‘Pelterhorn.’]
When the door opened. My vision turned black.
And when I opened my eyes again. Instead of a narrow, dark passage, a completely new place unfolded.
Grumble!
Good luck!
The torches lined up on the left and right burned all at once.
The endless floor and thin legs above it come into view.
The first gateway.
‘The Bridge of the Unelected’.
Literally, if you do not pass the trap, you will fall straight down.
Jerk.
Jinhyuk took steps carefully.
“Is it okay to just go? Just a glance at it shows an unusual amount of magic flowing through it.”
“It’s okay. You just have to trust me.”
The patterns are all figured out.
The most important thing is the center of gravity.
The key is to step on the ground with a certain weight.
If power is not distributed properly, numerous traps will be triggered immediately.
of course,
Shake!
It is impossible not to activate all the traps.
Chakram melted into the darkness flew out with the sound of a metal gun.
With a kind of boomerang in the shape of a circle. It is an assassination weapon with the characteristic of changing its trajectory freely in the air.
Awesome!
At the same time, dozens of harpoons were fired from all directions.
Jinhyuk’s gaze quickly turned downward.
Numerous letters engraved on the legs.
I memorized the pattern here by using the positions of these letters.
The end of the left corner of a character similar to ‘ㅂ’.
The part where two lines of a letter resembling ‘y’ meet.
To create a character that resembles ‘&’, place the center point in the exact center and place your body 1cm to the right.
Boom!
Buuuuung!
Harpoons split the air.

Jinhyuk moved his body faster and faster according to the flying pattern.
With this… … I avoided everything basic.
The chakram that approaches with its trajectory completely hidden… … .
To be honest, it is difficult to predict an attack until the last moment.
But it doesn’t matter.
“Beriel.”
I brought a strong shield for this time.
“no way…….”
An earthquake occurred in Beriel’s pupils.
“good!”
Jinhyuk suddenly threw Beriel, who was sitting on his shoulder, forward.
Shoo shoo shoo!
The sound of the wind blowing has changed.
This is because Chakram has the characteristic of flying towards a target in front of it.
“Holy shit….”
Quang!
“Kaaaaak!”
Beriel’s body, which collided directly with the chakram, was thrown away.
As expected, it is a very strong body.
When you see that kind of sound coming from a body that needs to be cut like a radish in one go.
Still, befitting his reputation as a demon lord, he successfully defended himself by raising his ‘dark spirit’ in that short moment.
“Good. Perfect.”
“f*ck it! Are you planning to kill me? How dare you use me as a shield? This is a challenge to the demon world!”
Beriel flew away, flapping his wings.
“No, that’s not it. If you hadn’t stopped me just now, I would have died. And wouldn’t it be better to call this proper teamwork rather than a shield?”
“What kind of teamwork is that? If you really think this body will be fooled by tricks like this….”
“Your words are so upsetting. I was just trying to rely on someone much stronger than me.”
“A strong being? Me?”
“Yes. You are the most outstanding Demon Lord among Demon Lords. I think you have the potential to rise to the position of Demon God in the future. So, I was able to trust and rely on you.”
“Oh, that’s for sure. Unless you’re a demon lord like me, you won’t be able to survive these traps.”
“Then why did I choose you, leaving the other colleagues alone?”
Jinhyuk spread more and more candy.
This is the equivalent of gently rubbing a brush made of green grapes into the esophagus.
Has the sweetness completely melted my brain?
“Okay. If so, I will clearly show you the greatness of this body. Watch with your own eyes what it means to be my apostle.”
Beriel took the lead.
Quang!
“Aaaah!”
Kwaaaaang!
“Keuuuuuck!”
Whoa!
“Kkuwaek!”
There were roars and screams, but Beriel steadfastly moved forward without showing any signs of difficulty in order to protect his pride.
Thanks to this, I was able to pass the first gate very easily.
All I had to do was link my arms and leisurely walk along.
Jinhyeok and Beriel passed the first gate in an instant and reached the end of the passage.
There was a long staircase leading down.
[The second gateway ‘Crypt of Poison’ is open.]
＊＊＊
“Hiss!”
“Shh!”
As soon as I went down, a crypt infested with poisonous snakes appeared.
The number is enough to fill what appears to be the size of Jamsil Stadium.
The good news is that it is not a first-attack trap.
It was a method in which intruders could only attack if they were within a certain range of the poisonous snakes.
‘If you think about these numbers, it’s not something to be relieved about… … .’
Anyway, you don’t have to go through that hell again.
Originally, I should have taken about three days to slowly find a point where I could escape the area.
Because now there is a valuable tank that can shorten the whole process.
“You’re not afraid of snakes, are you sure?”
“Haha…Hahaha. How can this body be afraid of poisonous snakes? Every time I can’t sleep, I drink a glass of the black mamba’s deadly venom…! I am the one who is immune even if I take a shower with the most severe poison. “It’s Beriel.”
okay?
“Then, I guess I can go. I’m not resistant to poison, so I think I’ll die if I just touch it. After all, an inferior human cannot be compared to the great Demon King.”
Jinhyuk pretended to be weak and wrapped his arms around his shoulders.
“Hehe…Hehehe.”
Beriel walked among the poisonous snakes with a white face.
Hey.
If you take away your pride, the saying that you are a corpse is really true.
I never imagined that I would actually go into the middle of it.
Not as the main body, but as a minimal alter ego.
Sigh!
Phew!
ah. That must hurt a lot.
The fangs are in a bad place.
“Kwaaaaaaaa!”
Soon, a terrible scream rang out.
＊＊＊
“Whoa….”
Hasting couldn’t control his pounding head.
It had to be that way.
About 30,000 years have passed since he first became the manager of the tower.
And he has been active as a senior manager for about 10,000 years.
Because I had handled my work perfectly without making a single mistake over the years, I was able to receive recognition from the beings on the 50th floor.
All of those things piled up and allowed me to become who I am today.
however. Just recently… … .
… … Cracks were forming in the carefully constructed tower.
Because of just one player.
“Are you saying he’s in the ruins on the 19th floor now?”
“That’s right. I tried to put a tail on it like you said, but strangely, the entire ruins were covered in a magic wave that I had never seen before, so I couldn’t get a glimpse of the inside.”
A junior manager with the appearance of a hamster quickly bowed his head.
Panem, the ‘pearl’ variety.
I recently became a junior manager for the first time and am currently serving as an intern.
Panem was unable to hide its uneasiness, perhaps because a newbie who did not yet know anything was called by a senior manager.
Hearing Panem’s words, Hasting’s eyebrows arched into an inverted shape.
“It’s an area the administrator can’t peep into. Do you think that makes sense?”
“T-There’s no doubt about it. Just in case, I even used the ‘Administrator’s Scroll’ that Hasting gave me, but the force field was the same.”
“……!”
This means that it cannot be seen as a role of an administrator who can directly intervene in the system.
It means that something corresponding to it intervened.
There is only one being that can do this.
50th floor.
The ancient beings moved directly.
‘There is no trace of his appearance… … Then what?’
At that moment, a flash of lightning passed through Hastings’ mind.
Old Guard.
Nyarlathotep’s hunting dogs were deployed.
‘Without saying anything to me… … Did you call them right away?’
Hasting bit down on his molars.
Is this retaliation for the mistake made last time?
Or, did he cut off his loss saying he could no longer trust himself?
The answer to that is currently unknown.
No, you don’t even need to know.
Since the Old Guard was deployed, there was no chance for Jinhyeok to survive.
But right then.
[Urgent reply]
A purple message flew in front of Hastings.
Breaking news directly from the 50th floor.
Its contents.
“Unbelievable…….”
It was shocking.
The death of a high-ranking Hound and the rout of the Old Guard.
And even an order to clean up this incident.
Everything was unexpected.
‘… … ‘This is an opportunity.’
A golden opportunity to make up for the mistakes made so far has appeared before our eyes.
You must catch this.
Sand dunes of the sun, sand dunes of the sun… … .
Hasting’s mind spun rapidly.
The vacuum created by sacrificing the ‘Fang of Pentagris’.
The reason why I am still left in the sand dunes and looking for something.
Clues and clues are put together.
What does Jinhyuk want now? Where are you headed? It didn’t take long to figure out its purpose.
‘I plan to go to the Hidden Place and conquer the 19th floor and another weapon all at once.’
Indeed, there is no feeling of unnecessary movement.
All steps led to the optimal route to climb the tower.
However, to put it another way, it means that prediction is possible.
‘I will never let things go the way I want.’
the problem is.
The question is who are you sending?
We need someone who has outstanding skills and variables that can catch the opponent off guard.
‘Not yet with the dragons.’
The deal with the dragon tribe was completed, but more time was still needed for the plan to come to fruition.
This means that it is not a card that can be used right away.
Right at that moment.
Wooooow!
Someone has accessed Hasting’s territory.
“May I come in here for a moment, Senior Manager?”
fantasy, game,
