Episode 531 Ruins, Dark Volcano (2)
After the break, Johannes’ explanation of the whole incident was also completed.
“Is this really possible?”
“Who said not? Even Refloor’s magic engineer joined the Stagnant Corporation, right?”
“Besides, that old man. This is the wise man who often appears on the central fountain screen. “He is a very high-ranking person.”
“I’m finally walking the flower path.”
New reinforcements.
The fact that people who could be said to be the leaders of the 33rd floor had come, boosted the attack team’s morale to the fullest.
The attack on the ruins, which had been dark, began to gradually become a reality.
Looking at the attack team like that, Johannes suppressed a laugh in his heart.
‘What a bunch of idiots.’
It was hard not to laugh when I saw the idiots giggling without even knowing that the place they were leading to was hell.
‘No, but you must not let down your guard. I don’t know about other guys, but I can’t ignore that guy named Kang Jin-hyuk.’
I never thought I would really achieve the conditions of the hidden chain quest.
The past few hours have been exhausting trying to calm Pendragon’s anger.
Part of the Crystal Tower was even destroyed.
But, all that shame is over.
If you go a little further… .
Because a place will appear where you can kill dozens of people.
Johannes showed no pretense and led the group deep into the ruins.
What appeared like that was a long single leg.
A long bridge made of marble connected two huge cliffs.
“Hmm! greatness. The thing in front of you is a place called the ‘Bridge of Dreams’ that I mentioned a little while ago. “Just by passing this bridge, you can enter the deepest part of the ruins.”
“It’s a bridge of dreams… Hey, if this falls, you won’t even be able to get the bones out of it, right?”
Jinhyuk glanced down.
The thing faintly glowing red below is probably magma.
If you fall, you will probably die.
“Haha, there are some traps… “I’ll tell you the strategy, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
It’s a strategy… .
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth twitched.
It was because I had a hard time holding back the laughter that was bursting out.
“If you could give me some advice, I would be grateful.”
“In fact, the Bridge of Dreams is a bridge with characteristics that literally disturb the five senses. It seems like there are countless traps, but most of them are just illusions. “If you can distinguish the real thing, you can pass without much difficulty.”
Johannes poured out his prepared comments like a storm.
“Do you know how to tell them apart?”
“yes. Can you see the faint smoke floating around the bridge? A fog that induces hallucinations. “It’s the kind that is absorbed through the skin.”
Upon hearing that it was absorbed through the skin, the faces of the raiders who were listening crumpled.
It’s not like you can seal your entire body and throw it away.
There was no item that completely blocked the air.
“haha. You don’t have to worry too much. Fortunately, if you wear this crystal necklace around your neck, you will be able to resist hallucinations.”
Johannes took out necklaces with dazzling blue crystals from his chest.
“Oooh!”
“I was truly fortunate to have met the people involved in Refloor!”
“good. you can do it. “You can do it!”
The players cheered.
Naturally, I couldn’t help but feel excited as I was presented with opportunities that were not easily obtained.
Jinhyuk also obtained a crystal necklace.
‘There’s no such thing as a really great person to just give something like this.’
If what Johannes said is true, it is a tree that gives generously.
If that’s true.
[Necklace of Courage]
Obtain Difficulty: A
Contents: This is a magic engineering item made by processing sapphire crystal with quite sophisticated skill. When worn. Increases resistance to ‘fear’ by 130%. Additionally, resistance increases by an additional +1% for each +1 number of players wearing the necklace.
Necklace of Courage.
In modern times, it is a kind of drug necklace.
It is an item that has the property of paralyzing fear and explosively increasing adrenaline. In short, it makes you lose your fear.
‘The plan is to cook us with a blatant lie and then kill us all on the bridge.’
It is a ridiculously shameless and cruel plan.
It was even more fatal because it was done after a certain level of trust had been built.
I know it was a plan that took a lot of thought, but… .
well.
Things won’t work out the way you think.
Still, in a situation like this, you should at least react as you should.
Just so you don’t get too suspicious.
“Hmm. The conditions were really good, but the fog was too thick. “Could our guide, Johannes, and the rest of you take the lead?”
“I’m sorry, but this is all we can tell you. Anything more than going to the deepest part of the ruins was prohibited as a rule. Above all, if a magic engineer climbs on the Bridge of Dreams, the bridge itself will collapse.”
There is no way to confirm the truth, so believe it unconditionally… Is this it?
Well, the reaction was as expected.

“… … Phew. All right. “Then, is there anything else I need to be careful about?”
“Oh, one thing. You should never use unique abilities or skills to clear the fog. “There is also a risk that the bridge itself will collapse.”
“All right. “You helped us to this extent, but from now on, we will do what we can on our own.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly and turned to where his companions were.
“Brother, are you okay?”
“That’s right, brother. You have to be careful about excessive hospitality… It’s a little strange. Usually, the residents on the floors have never been this kind, right?”
Lee Tae-min and Yeon-hwa looked at each other with wary eyes.
“Hmm. There’s something about Jim that makes me feel uncomfortable. No matter how focused a scholar is on research, he would not want the hierarchy he manages to be easily attacked.”
Ellis also added a word while crossing his arms.
“Hey. Are you so suspicious of people who approach you with good intentions? “Don’t worry, just stick close to my back.”
Jinhyuk stood in the lead wearing a necklace.
“Brother, why are you taking out the sword?”
“It seems like the magic power is also increased to the maximum… ?”
“contractor. “Are those legs okay?”
Everyone asked anxiously.
However, Jinhyuk climbed onto the bridge without answering.
[You have entered the ‘Bridge of Dreams’!]
Jeez.
As I stepped through the thick fog, my vision became hazy.
It may be new to you, but this bridge boasts truly insane difficulty.
Even though I’ve already experienced it several times, it’s so bad that my hands and feet start to break out in a cold sweat.
‘There is a reason why Johannes is confident of his death.’
so that.
Here we have to do even crazier things.
Jinhyuk began to time the timing in his mind.
Although the group was anxious, they climbed onto the bridge one by one.
It was thanks to the effect of the ‘Necklace of Courage’.
3 seconds… 2 seconds, 1 second.
The moment everyone was completely on the bridge.
Buuuuung!
A terrifying pounding sound rang out.
What appeared through the fog was a golem’s hand the size of a house.
Just one finger was close to the size of an elephant.
“Ugh!”
“Ah, it’s an iron golem!”
A golem whose entire body is covered in iron.
No, judging from the thick crystals embedded in its surface, it must have been a much higher species than that.
‘Eternal Golem… .’
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
This is the moment when one of the monsters that can be said to be the essence of magic engineering appears.
Kukukukukuku!
Thick fingers are visible through the smoke.
The players panicked and tried to avoid it.
However, the places to escape to on the 7m wide bridge were extremely limited.
however.
Kwaaaaang!
The golem’s fingers stopped in midair.
[Lee Taemin activates his unique ability ‘Machine Lord’!]
[Depending on the perks of magic engineering, the overall stats of unique abilities increase by 200%!]
A whopping 200%.
The strengthened drones gathered together to take the golem’s blow.
Magical bombs rained down from the aircraft of the drones that successfully defended themselves.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Blue flames rose in all directions.
Every time the Eternal Golem tried to launch a hand-to-hand attack, Taemin Lee’s flying drones mercilessly counterattacked.
“No way!”
Taemin Lee, excited by the overflowing magical power, ran wild.
The uplifting feeling of being several times stronger than usual stimulated my heart in a pleasant way.
Now… .
Maybe you can use skills of 8 stars or higher.
Taemin Lee calmed his excitement and concentrated his mind.
[Machine Lord – Autopilot mode, ‘Storm Saber’ is activated!]
… Success!
Armor covering the entire body.
Taemin Lee, riding the mechanical robot, pulled out a pair of swords made of plasma in both hands.
Parts!
A beautiful ray of light extended about 2 meters.
“Gooooh… !”
The Eternal Golem sensed something unusual and changed its attack pattern.
Long distance, not close.
The plan was to burn the energy contained in the crystal ball and evaporate all the intruders on the bridge at once.
[Eternal Golem uses its unique ability ‘Magic Quantum Cannon’!]
Parts!
Yellow lines gathered in the distance.
⁕⁕⁕
‘Hmm… .’
Johannes, who was watching the battle, stroked his beard.
I thought that with the unfamiliar terrain and the surprise golem attack, the game would be decided quickly.
No matter how much Kang Jin-hyuk can fly and crawl, he won’t be able to use as much strength as he does in ‘Bridge of Dreams’.
But why?
Among the raiding party, there were people who knew how to use magic engineering.
It also has a very proficient level.
“It might be more troublesome than expected.”
“You don’t have to worry too much. Wise man. “Even if you manage to get past the golem, isn’t there the strongest guardian of these ruins behind you?”
“you’re right. “Guardians are guardians, but the temple in the deepest part of the ruins is forbidden, something we don’t even know about.”
The residents who came with us each added a word to reassure Johannes.
Of course, as they say, once you set foot on the bridge, it is impossible to return from this place alive.
Even if you’re really lucky, there’s only one person.
I wondered if only a magic engineer could barely maintain his own name.
Still, I don’t know why.
Johannes continued to be unable to shake off his anxious feelings.
And the reason was immediately revealed.
… … hmm?
Johannes’ gaze and Jinhyuk’s gaze met directly.
The timing is too perfect to be a coincidence.
Above all, the ominous smile that Jinhyeok showed the moment their eyes met struck Johannes’ heart.
… … Something is going wrong.
My instincts were sending out warnings with all their might.
-Never use unique abilities or skills to clear the fog.
There was only one condition that limited the Bridge of Dreams.
“Oh, no!”
Yohannes urgently stretched out his hand and tried to dissuade Jinhyeok.
however.
“Okay.”
It’s already late.
[The unique ability ‘Wind Realm’ is activated!]
The smoke that had enveloped the entire bridge disappeared like a lie.
at the same time.
[The guardian of the ruins awakens.]
[All targets within the guardian’s detection range are recognized as enemies.]
[Absolute decision ‘Dream Barrier’ is activated!]
[Until the guardian disappears, all beings inside the ruins will not be able to go out.]
Phrases announcing the worst appeared one after another.
