Episode 483 Inside the Vatican (1)
I have already experienced this once, where ordinary objects become sacred relics due to magical power.
However, this time is a little different than before.
Because the magic coming from the tower is completely contaminated.
‘What combination of three should I choose to have a chance?’
Jinhyuk walked down a richly decorated hallway.
You can see numerous relics brought in from the Louvre, including swords, knives, and bows.
These must have been prepared in advance by the Vatican in preparation for this incident.
“contractor. “Jim likes this.”
Ellis pointed to the jewel in the glass tube.
In the past, this was a ruby that was cherished by Louis
As Ellis, who likes rare things, it was natural for her to want to collect them.
“You know I’m not here to leisurely shop, right?”
“It’s all natural. “Jim just thought that gem would be a great addition to our team.”
You’re lying.
Just look at it and you can see the jewels moving back and forth in the eyes.
The drool flowing from the mouth was also clear evidence.
“What about Teresa?”
“hmm. I think this would be good.”
Teresa pointed to a torture device used in the Middle Ages.
Another unusual thing came out.
‘Iron Maiden’.
Once inside, it’s a bloody guy whose entire body becomes covered in holes.
“It’s surprising. “It seems too extreme for Teresa to choose.”
“I’m a little intrigued by the magic I feel here. like… … It feels like divine power is alive and breathing… … I guess that’s what it feels like.”
The divine power lives and breathes.
The expression is quite interesting.
However, Iron Maiden is definitely not a bad choice.
Special effects with certain CC attached are quite troublesome to deal with.
Because there were strong restrictions, not everyone could handle it.
‘Then I…’ … .’
Lastly, Jinhyuk looked through the display cases.
One of the things I am watching with interest are the paintings hanging here.
Each painting has special abilities, and depending on which painting it is, the abilities are completely different.
But that was right then.
“Koooooo… … !”
A deafening roar was heard from beyond the dark passage.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
Sreung!
Clap!
Teresa and Ellis reflexively took out their weapons.
In contrast to the red skewer, the golden sword burned intensely.
thud! thud! thud!
What appeared along the passage was a huge dinosaur fossil.
Red flames flashed along the empty pupils.
“Krrr… … .”
The strongest predator that dominated the Cretaceous period.
It’s a Tyrannosaurus.
It has a body so large that it fills the hallway, with many black tentacles sticking out from between the bones.
Even at a glance, it looks like it was influenced by the Necronomicon.
There must be someone who chose the fossil as a relic.
“I’ll stop it!”
Teresa took the lead with her divine power raised.
“Kaaaa!”
The Tyrannosaurus ran at full speed.
The distance narrowed in an instant.
The huge maw collided head-on with Teresa’s shield.
Kwaaaaang!
A tremendous roar rang out.
The ground was hollowed out along the path that the Tyrannosaurus had taken, and the entire wall was stained black from the tentacles.
“Big… … .”
However, Teresa only frowned slightly and did not move away at all.
It is not because of its unique divine power.
[The relic ‘Iron Maiden’ is activated!]
[The effectiveness of the ability improves due to the sensitivity of the chosen one!]
The power to bind an object.
The Tyrannosaurus’ body began to slowly collapse into translucent spines.
Quad deuk! Crack!

I twisted my whole body, but once I was restrained, it wasn’t easy to escape.
As red blood flowed from Iron Maiden’s eyes, the pressure became even stronger.
.The sharp thorns dug into the bones mercilessly.
“Koooooo!”
In the end, the Tyrannosaurus’ body was completely destroyed with a cruel death.
“Oh my god… … .”
An exclamation of admiration flowed from Teresa’s mouth.
Because it was unbelievable that such a powerful relic existed outside the tower.
“Oooh. That’s why I told you to choose carefully. I’ll choose something different for luggage too. “It’s big, powerful, and worthy of being a burden!”
Ellis’ eyes sparkled as she examined the new object.
“It’s too bad, but once you choose, you can’t change it again.”
“what? No, shouldn’t such an important story be told in advance!”
“Your eyes are already glued to the jewel, so no matter what I say, will it have any effect? And that jewel might suit you surprisingly well.”
Being attracted to someone unconsciously means that they are compatible.
It is wiser to follow what your instincts tell you than to use your brain carelessly.
In the same sense, now is the time to make a choice.
Jerk.
Jinhyuk’s steps stopped in front of a painting.
Even if you are not interested in art, this is a famous painting that you have probably heard of at least once.
[Would you like to choose Munch’s ‘The Scream’?]
A painting depicting a man who looks like he has really lost his country.
This is the best.
‘The fact that the selection window appears means that no one in the Vatican has chosen this yet.’
Well, in a place overflowing with all kinds of weapons, armor, fossils, and statues, there is no way anyone would be interested in paintings.
Unless you know the exact value of the item.
“I will choose.”
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth turned up.
Now is the time to explore the Vatican in earnest.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
The Vatican’s dungeons. ‘Catacombs’.
This place, known only to cardinals among those affiliated with the Vatican, is a place that is completely far from modern law.
Normally this dungeon should be empty, but today it felt quite crowded.
“They said an intruder entered the memorial.”
A deep male voice was heard under the dim candlelight.
“Aside from these guys?”
The second voice was full of worry.
Just recently, some rankers from Korea infiltrated deep inside.
Although some were captured and imprisoned, two people are still missing.
In the meantime, new intruders have appeared again, so of course it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable.
‘It’s my brother.’
‘brother… … .’
Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who were locked in prison, bit their lips.
“So who is it? “Who are those intruders?”
“This is Kang Jin-hyuk, Ellis, and Teresa from Goinmul Corporation.”
“… … As expected, since I have lost contact with my colleagues, I am moving on my own.”
“You may not know about others, but Kang Jin-hyuk is not easy to mess with. It’s so famous, and regardless, it’s so strong that it’s hard to handle. It would be better to appease and compromise to some extent… … .”
A monster that not only large guilds around the world, but also the public authorities of powerful countries cannot interfere with.
The gathering of such powerful people is what is now Goinmul Corporation.
The intruders who came in earlier were also famous rankers known to the intelligence department, but Kang Jin-hyuk’s fundamentals must have been completely different.
Even if it was the Vatican, it couldn’t be easily touched.
“Cardinal Trozzia.”
“yes. Please speak. “Cardinal Leitmann.”
“We have a great mission. “Don’t you know better how hard it was to find this sacred relic that the angels had commanded?”
“Of course, I remember everything clearly.”
A fountain pen lying on the table.
I don’t know what the exact identity was, but the moment the engraving on this fountain pen was unlocked, a tremendous amount of magical energy flowed throughout the Vatican.
The items inside were turned into relics just as they were when the tower first appeared. Many of them were recognized for their status and came to have powers similar to those of sacred relics.
A grace that only the chosen can obtain.
Laitman had no intention of giving up this sacred privilege.
“I guess they came here to steal this. Of course, I plan to protect this at all costs. “How can you call yourself a person who serves God if you bend your beliefs to those self-serving apostates?”
“That is correct. “I lost my temper for a moment and made a mistake.”
“It’s okay. “As you said, you are disturbing a beehive, so you need to be careful.”
Reitman nodded and this time called a middle-aged knight wearing white armor.
“Knight Commander Alfonso. “Currently, how many Holy Knights are there within the Vatican who have completed their second awakening?”
“We are attacking the 26th floor of the Ghost Mansion, so about 70% of the knights are away. Therefore, there are about 20 paladins in charge of internal security, including myself.”
“Twenty people… … .”
The numbers are not enough to stop those monsters.
However, there are two variables here.
The variable of the catacombs has been completely changed due to the relics and magic that can only be selected per person.
‘We’ve already secured the best ones.’
Moreover, thanks to the grace of God, the abilities of each relic have been greatly improved, so the starting point itself is incomparable.
‘If I also use the relic I chose… … .’
A relic that boasts the strongest among 18,253 items.
Leitman stroked his chin with his fingers.
“Let’s start rabbit hunting. Deploy the paladins. “I will report this once again to the angel.”
“All right.”
“yes.”
Troccia and Alfonso nodded.
“Oh, don’t neglect to capture Yoo Cheon-young and that red-haired woman. “If I end up joining Kang Jin-hyuk, it will be a pain in the ass.”
Leitman added a word.
⁕ ⁕ ⁕
“It’s really endless.”
“I feel like I’ve entered some kind of large labyrinth.”
Ellis and Teresa caught their breath.
The fierce battle had already lasted over three hours.
Nevertheless, the number of enemies coming showed no sign of disappearing.
Jinhyuk brushed off the bone dust on the dagger.
‘Fountain pen… … I guess I got my hands on it. I think I learned the most basic things about how to use it.’
Not only do we see various dinosaur fossils, but we also had a fight with a saber tiger and a mammoth a little while ago.
And that’s only with tentacle-infected ones.
‘It doesn’t make sense for Nyarlathotep to get involved with Eden… … How on earth did they boil the Vatican bastards?’
Are there other variables involved?
Or, among the angels, there is one who got stuck on the 50th floor.
Or maybe one of the senior managers who hasn’t made a move yet has intervened.
There were many possibilities, but they were all just guesses.
To be sure, you’ll have to dig a little deeper.
“contractor. So, what are you going to do now? We can’t keep fighting these artifacts. that… … “What do you mean, there’s something I really need to find here?”
“Saving Yeonhwa and her group comes first. There will be a hidden staircase leading to the dungeon, so let’s look for that first.”
“Jinhyuk… … .”
“You cared about your colleagues. contractor.”
Teresa and Ellis opened their eyes wide.
… … hmm.
If you have a fountain pen at this time, you shouldn’t say that it’s hidden somewhere in the catacombs.
I think I was strangely moved, but there’s no need to break it.
“Hmm.”
Jinhyuk pulled out a sweet potato from subspace with a solemn expression on his face.
“mosquito?”
“It’s exorcism. From now on, look for a place on the floor that smells different. Understand?”
“mosquito!”
To others, it seemed like he was trying his best to save a colleague who might be in danger as quickly as possible, even if only for a minute or a second.
