Solo Max-Level Newbie Chapter 371

Episode 371 Ghost cult leader ‘Sloth’ (1)

A regular hexagonal box with a subtle silver color.

Whoa. I never thought this would come out here.

Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.

The random skill box is a type of dismantled item. The type of reward is determined depending on how well the tightly sealed box is dismantled.

‘In other words, the more you dismantle, the better you can acquire among the skills on the 20th floor.’

However, dismantling the random box is a story that will take some time later.

When everyone around you disappears. That’s when you pull the skills out of this box.

“Jinhyuk!”

“Go, player Jinhyeok Kang!”

The players who had been watching the battle trembled in fear and ran towards them one step at a time.

Everyone has a tired look on their faces.

Since I’ve been constantly chased since I got to the 20th floor, I’m bound to reach my limit.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“Yes. Thanks to Jinhyuk coming at the right time, we were able to avoid being wiped out.”

Teresa nodded.

Then, as if they had been waiting, the others also expressed their gratitude.

“Thank you so much. I thought everything was wrong. I thought it was all over…”

“I gave up everything when the engineering team leader abandoned us.”

“How on earth should I repay this favor? Player Jinhyeok Kang is our guild’s benefactor.”

Sobbing echoed here and there.

I really thought he was dead.

They would be brutally hunted and lose their lives one by one.

but.

At the worst moment, the strongest ally appeared.

This is Goinmul Corporation.

“Really, they are all amazing. I heard that only the most outstanding members are selected, but when I saw it in person, that was rather an understatement.”

Carlos, the man who participated as the magic troop leader in this raid muttered with a face full of emotion.

Goinmul Corporation… … .

Even if top rankers come from a large guild, would you be able to deal with one of them?

Even if Olympus and all the remaining six major guilds were combined, it was doubtful whether they would be able to keep up with them.

‘Of course, there are some big rookies coming out recently.’

Due to the magical power released from the Tower of Trials, people who had begun to awaken as latecomers were joining one after another.

Among them, there were those with outstanding talent.

Like Faden, who is currently serving as deputy master of the Olympus Guild.

Nevertheless, it was nonsense to compare them on the same level as Cheon Yu-seong and Ellis.

‘… … Besides, that muscular old man and the blue haired girl are beyond imagination.’

The image of sweeping away the bugs just moments ago was still stuck in my mind and could not go away.

That is truly an overwhelming gap.

These are rankers who can play the role of a raid group on their own.

‘That knight in white armor must also be a man of great skill… … .’

Carlos glanced to the side.

There was Abraham, who was maintaining weapons, and Pesis, who was taking care of the wounded.

Even at a glance, the two people seemed far from ordinary.

But the most absurd thing is… … .

‘This is player Kang Jin-hyuk.’

Carlos managed to calm his shaking fists.

A non-standard boss that overwhelmed the entire raid.

Even Teresa, one of the Holy Knights in the world, including the Vatican, was no match for that monster.

Jinhyuk unilaterally defeated such a hopeless enemy… … From Carlos’s perspective, he could only be seen as the sky.

“Collect the wounded and prepare to camp. We will spend the night here.”

“Huh? Camping?”

Carlos and the rest of the players were shocked when they heard that they were going camping.

“Are you worried about the cult bastards?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Although the immediate crisis has been overcome, the church’s relentless pursuit has not yet stopped.

We have been targeting this side persistently so far, so we will continue to tighten the siege.

“Don’t worry. You’ll be able to make it through at least tonight.”

Jinhyuk smiled brightly.

[Currently, a ‘wide-area optical illusion’ barrier is in effect in a 15km radius.]

A barrier has already been placed around the forest.

Since we got here quickly, 6 stars was the limit, but since it was set at 3 stars, destroying it won’t be that easy.

＊＊＊

All of the players in the joint raid fell into a deep sleep.

And Jinhyuk… … .

I was in a very difficult situation and was breaking out in a cold sweat.

The origin of the incident is as follows.

Since I’m hungry, I decided to get some food nearby.

And wouldn’t it be better to eat something delicious? … Is.

‘It was good up to that point… … .’

Jinhyuk pressed his throbbing head.

The problem is that this competition has become overheated.

“Contractor. Doesn’t this look cute? You have to eat this, okay? Make sure to eat this, not the others.”

“Oh my. Our little boy brought something that looked like it would kill him instantly if he ate it. Are you offering that as an ingredient? This beautiful looking mushroom would be much better than that.”

“…Everyone has a 0% chance of survival. The one I brought is the most recommended as food.”

Ellis, Frey, and even Teresa, who for some reason has turned black, as if she had exercised self-restraint.

In front of the bonfire, a terrible meal was being prepared that would make even the witches of the fog village cry.

Jinhyuk’s gaze turned to the ingredients each person brought.

First, Ellis, who was making the most passionate appeal, brought in the corpse of an insect that we did not know what kind of creature it was.

Even insects with three legs were something I had never seen before while playing Tower of Trials.

As Ellis said, it looked cute, but when I saw that it had a lot of purple thorns, I instinctively felt that it was dangerous.

However, when I ate the mushrooms Teresa had picked, I realized that they were deadly poisonous mushrooms called ‘widow makers.’

‘No, isn’t it common knowledge that poisonous mushrooms are usually flashy?’

I don’t know what they were thinking when they brought mushrooms that glow in rainbow colors.

Lastly, Frey also brought some terrible ingredients.

‘It’s gray wasp nest and honey.’

The taste is so crazy good that it’s even addictive, but if you consume more than a certain amount, you run the risk of falling into severe hallucinations.

It would be better to think of it as a drug rather than a food.

“So who are you going to eat? Mine, of course? Huh? Contractor!”

“No one in their right mind would eat something that a kid brought home.”

“W-Who are you calling me a brat? You stupid saint!”

“Honey… it’s good for your body too.”

If you don’t make a choice, they will force feed you.

Kukukukukuku!

In fact, everyone was gathering magical energy and surrounding Jinhyeok as if he were surrounded.

It goes without saying, but there is no escape.

If you don’t make a choice, you may have to eat them all.

“Hahaha! After a victory, a glass of rice wine is the best. Disciple. If you eat all the food given by the soldiers, you must also have a drink with me. I brought 30 jars, so you can sleep well until you drink them all. “Don’t think about it.”

Huge drinking pots were placed all the way to the dark. Only with solos over 60 degrees.

“…….”

This place is hell.

At least a place similar to hell.

Jinhyuk slowly closed his eyes.

With a face resigned to everything.

“Hehe. If even Prince Cheon is jealous, will this teacher get me something delicious?”

“……It’s okay. Please eat as much as you can, Master.”

Cheon Yu-seong took a bite of a fruit from a tree and ate it.

like that.

The night got deeper and deeper.

＊＊＊

A scenery that seems out of this world.

The night sky is filled with gloomy constellations and red giant stars.

and.

Jeez.

Nyarlathotep walked along the path where strange plants grew.

“…….”

I keep my mouth shut and just look ahead and walk.

Considering his usually cheerful personality, the current atmosphere was very heavy and subdued.

It had to be that way.

What was going to happen in a moment was something that even Nyarlathotep would not be happy about.

How long did it take to walk like that?

At the end where the plants were dyed black, there was a beautiful looking heteropod with long, pink hair.

Half human and half beast.

The upper body was human, but the lower body was that of a goat.

The sight of him sitting on a throne made of black tree branches, lost in thought, was alluring and even dreamlike.

And towards her.

“mother.”

Nyarlathotep slowly opened his mouth.

Then, the being sitting on the throne without any response turned its head.

“You’re late.”

“I’m sorry. There were some things I had to take care of.”

“Yes, that’s right. I heard that the Old Guard was damaged.”

A short impression.

However, the meaning of those words was by no means light.

Coo!

“Ugh!”

Nyarlathotep’s back was bent 90 degrees.

Nyarlathotep’s whole body trembled slightly due to magical power that transcended knowledge.

Shub Niguras.

As befits her name as the mother of all things, the power of the original body could not even be predicted to its end.

So much so that not even Nyarlathotep could stand against it.

“Well, that’s….”

“Okay, go ahead and tell me. I’m waiting for you.”

“I was just trying to take away the crown from one human being for the sake of our future. If it’s not a huge power and it’s just one player, there’s a good chance…”

“In the end, doesn’t it mean that you let your guard down and looked down on the other person? Even though you clearly saw that that person drove this mother away.”

Shub Niguras stood up.

The plants split left and right, and the sound of giggling laughter began to fill the place.

“B-but…! Wasn’t that the reason he used expedient means to deal with my mother?”

Nyarlathotep protested with an enraged face. Shub Niguras calmly continued speaking.

“The first hourglass began to go down.”

“No way…! Are you saying that causality flows?”

Nyarlathotep’s eyes widened.

‘The first hourglass’ is a kind of prediction of the future.

Like the Greek ‘Three Goddesses of Fate’ or the Edenic ‘Book of Revelation’, it evokes a powerful future.

However, unlike the rest who predict the future broadly, ‘The First Hourglass’ predicts only one thing.

The fact that someone is entering the 50th floor.

“Yes. Soon. Someone will come to where we live. And it will be that human.”

Unlike other layered prophecies that can vary depending on interpretation. There is no such thing as interpretation in ‘The First Hourglass’.

This means that as soon as the sand begins to fall, someone will definitely reach the 50th floor.

“Mother, you are overestimating that person. There are many strong people under the tower. But, are you saying that he will come here anyway? Beating all the forces on the 40th floor?”

In essence, this is nonsense.

No matter how prominent they are, there are players who have only been in the top for a few years. Because it was impossible to reach the top of the tower.

but. Shub Niguras’ face was more confident than ever.

“This is why I can’t fall asleep. They keep giving me toys to relieve my boredom.”

Grumbling.

Grains of sand fall into the hourglass.

“Delivery the order to the minions released on the lower level of the tower. We will also participate in the turf war from now on.”

Accordingly, the beings on the 50th floor also began to move.
