Login Psychopath - Chapter 98



Only Noblemtl

Episode 098.

“Uh uh… … .”

Lee Shin, for a very rare moment, fell into a panic.

It was because so much information came in at once, in a situation where I was completely unprepared.

But even in such a confusing situation, some keywords clearly struck Isin’s mind.

Test of slaughter.

Opening of secret space.

Confirming the maintenance of killing intent, etc.

‘… … !’

Isin opened his eyes with a start.

Even in my hectic state, I could tell this much.

I don’t know exactly, but something related to my job is happening.

And the first thing Isin did when he realized that was to kill Dokgo.

After changing his equipment, Isin poured all his skills into the back of Dokgo’s head, who was standing there blankly.

Pok ok ok ok!!

[Attacking a party member!]

[Notoriety is rising like crazy!]

There was a clear motive behind this behavior.

‘It shouldn’t be known yet.’

The profession of Salsung is one of the few legendary professions on the server.

It is so rare that even though the game has been open for quite some time, it is known that only 7 (actually 8) people still exist.

Naturally, its value is high in proportion to its rarity.

Therefore, if it was known that Isin was the owner of such a legendary profession, it was obvious that many famous guilds would take interest in Isin.

‘That won’t do.’

And this was one of the situations that Yishin wanted to avoid the most.

I had no intention of joining a guild, and I was worried that my interest might lead someone to have fundamental doubts about my true identity.

‘Just in case.’

Who knew there would be another guy like Arthur?

No, the world is wide and there are many crazy people, so it was right to assume that there must be one.

So I killed him.

“… … ?”

But from Dokgo’s perspective, who was unaware of the inside story, this was an attack with absolutely no context.

Because of that, he died in vain without even knowing what had happened to him.

“What are you doing now…!?”

[Party member dies.]

[The effect of the skill increases fame instead of infamy.]

[Gain experience points.]

[Level Up!]

[The skill has reached its limit of proficiency, and the skill evolves.]

[You can now designate two villains at the same time. The HP recovery effect of enemies designated as villains is halved.]

“phew.”

When leveling up, skill evolution was a bonus.

Even Isin, who sighed in relief that the secret had not been exposed, checked the message.

[The secret area of ​​the dungeon is now open. Enter the secret area and check the maintenance of the killing spirit!]

[The location of the secret space can be confirmed through the Giant Golem’s core.]

‘nucleus?’

The nuke was in the inventory.

When I took it out and checked, I saw that there was an arrow pointing in one direction in the center of the core.

As Yishin turned his body, the direction of the arrow also changed and maintained the same starting direction.

Lee Shin nodded.

‘So you’re telling me to follow this?’

I don’t know what will come out of it, but I had to go.

First of all, it was a quest related to a job.

The problem was Gilaim.

‘I guess I’ll have to leave this guy behind.’

Gilaim doesn’t know that Isin is a descendant of Salsung.

Of course, I know that it has a very high notoriety, but there was a certain degree of indulgence given to it.

Even Gilaim understood that in order to survive and avoid the eyes of the kingdom, he had no choice but to shed blood.

Rather, after the disappearance of Lee Shin (a self-directed drama), he became considerably more aggressive and often encouraged the use of force.

But still, it was dangerous.

The person who should become the new king of the kingdom is a descendant of Murseong?

Even if the two had similar goals, it was uncertain whether Gil Ra-im, who was a former knight, would react favorably.

No, it wouldn’t have been strange if there had been fundamental doubts about whether this person was really royalty or his true identity.

‘I think it would be better to go in alone.’

If you just go in with Gilaim in tow, you might think something is strange.

Since both Jeong Yu-ra and Arthur were tired, Lee Shin took this opportunity to break up the party.

“Aren’t you going out?”

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

“… Really? See you tomorrow.”

“See you tomorrow too.”

[Party member logs out.]

The two people were running away in a hurry, in case Lee Shin caught them again.

After confirming that the two had left, Isin turned around and said.

“You guys wait at the castle.”

“Aren’t you going together?”

“I’m going out soon too.”

“Is that so? Okay, I understand.”

After sending Cedric and Gilaim out like that.

Lee Shin moved alone following the arrow.

The path was quickly found.

‘Is this it?’

A small gap in the dungeon wall.

As I put my head inside, I saw a narrow, winding road extending downward.

Yishin pushed his body through the narrow gap and entered.

Tiring.

[You have entered the hidden space of the dungeon.]

[The ominous atmosphere grows stronger.]

“…hmm?”

Isin furrowed his brows.

The description of an increasingly sinister atmosphere was something that was constantly brought up in this upper floor as well.

When I first saw it, I wondered why this dungeon full of golems was so gloomy… .

I think I know now.

‘I guess it has something to do with what’s inside there.’

Whatever it was, it was probably related to the maintenance of the previous murders, so it wasn’t strange that an ominous atmosphere was permeating the air.

-Color.

-Hide.

Isin slowly walked down with his skill turned on.

* * *

[You have arrived at the Hidden Stage, the .]

[This is the first area you enter. All stats increase by 1.]

The end of the stairs soon appeared.

Yishin looked around carefully.

‘prison?’

There were iron bars lined up on both sides of the corridor that stretched out ahead, and when I looked inside, I saw skeletons of unknown owners scattered around.

A literally gloomy sight.

“… … .”

Talk.

The creature stretched out its tentacles and touched one of the skulls.

Tiring.

The harmful effects of ???

It is a skeleton that has already rotted away and its owner is unrecognizable. A faint hint of black magic can be felt.

‘Black magic? Black magicians?’

Thinking that he might find a clue, Isin touched all the other skeletons, but they all gave the same explanation.

All of the remains were exposed to black magic.

At this, Lee Shin’s expression changed strangely.

‘Wasn’t it just nobles that were killed?’

Those people were clearly all captured and locked up by the Jeondae Salsing, but the motive was inexplicable.

The warlocks probably didn’t have anything to do with the corruption of the kingdom?

Did he just keep it because he hated it?

‘… I don’t know.’

Lee Shin shook his head and continued walking.

The arrow was still pointing forward, so I thought that if I kept going until the end, something would come out.

… and, actually, something came out of it.

Rustle.

-What, what is it!

“hmm?”

-Who are you!

A voice like scraping metal was heard from the side. Isin turned his head, wondering if there were any survivors.

And then I opened my eyes wide in surprise.

‘… Richie?!’

A bunch of moving skeletons.

The opponent was none other than Richie.

A being that has reached the pinnacle of black magic!

‘This is crazy…!’

The moment he realized that, Isin quickly put on his equipment and jumped backwards, putting some distance between himself and his opponent.

A great defense mechanism that comes out instinctively!

However, there was no need to be particularly cautious.

-Why is there a human here… Hmm?!

Flash!

Lich, who suddenly lets out a single scream as he faces Isin, his eyes light up.

As Isin unconsciously took a step back, bewildered by the red glow in his eyes, a message flashed before his eyes.

[The notoriety is transcendent.]

[Have numerous titles related to evil deeds.]

[The opponent is an NPC with an evil disposition.]

[The other person feels intimidated by you…]

-No, wait, this energy…!

[… recalls memories from before the other person died.]

[Your opponent will notice your identity!]

-Descendants of Murseong!?

“No?”

Yishin took a step back at the speed of a spinal reflex.

Suddenly, I felt a strange sense of ominousness, although I didn’t know what was going on.

But it didn’t really mean anything, because Richie was already very excited and wasn’t listening to Isin’s words.

Richie burst into flames.

-Hahahahahaha!! Descendants of Murseong!

“I told you it wasn’t me?”

-Haha, that’s nonsense! The stench of blood mixed with the stench of your soul stings my nose, so I can’t help it!

“… … .”

-ha ha ha!

‘… This xx?’

* * *

“… … .”

-Hahaha! Phew… .

Richie, who had been laughing for a while, soon spoke in a much calmer voice.

-I was waiting for you.

“me?”

-To be exact, I’ve been waiting for his descendant. To appear someday and get me out of this damn place!

“I… … Ugh.”

Although he had tried to keep trying, he soon gave up and sighed.

It was because the opponent was already so confident.

And he didn’t seem to show any particular hostility towards anything to do with murder.

Isin just asked something he was curious about.

“Why should I take you out?”

-Because the one who locked me up was a murderer.

“… … .”

Yishin was speechless for a moment.

I felt strangely fond of it, but was it because I was happy that I could now get revenge?

‘shit.’

Lee Shin cursed inwardly.

But Richie shook his head after seeing Isin’s expression.

-That’s not it.

“Then what is it?”

-I’m trapped here anyway. I can’t get out on my own. Someone has to open the door for me from the outside.

“…hmm?”

At Richie’s words, Isin turned his head.

Because it felt strange when I heard it.

I was so out of it that I didn’t notice, but it didn’t make sense that Richie would be locked up because he couldn’t open one of those bars.

Richie continued speaking.

– As you said, this is no ordinary iron cage. It is a special device created by the previous killer mixing his own blood and secret arts.

“… … .”

Lee Shin touched the iron bars.

There was a sharp, electric shock from the iron bars.

[An iron bar with the engraved on it.]

[All magical and physical attacks are nullified by the powerful force of evil.]

[Beware! A powerful evil force is digging into your body.]

[…has the title, !]

[Absorbs the power of evil.]

[It is possible. Would you like to release the seal?]

‘ah….’

Malice Incarnate is a title given to the most notorious person on the server.

If it was a seal that could only be broken by possessing that title, then in reality, it meant that only the descendants of the murderer could break this seal.

This was the part where you could see why Richie liked it so much.

‘So that’s what it was.’

Lee Shin nodded.

But the message didn’t end there.

[The maintenance of murder has been discovered!]

[My job is murder.]

[Hidden information is unlocked by meeting the conditions!]

Job Story – Murder of the Worries

A murderer who killed nobles and attempted to assassinate the king in order to revive the Kingdom of Eton.

He bathed the kingdom in blood every night, making countless nobles and kings tremble in fear of death.

But despite his efforts, he knew better than anyone that he would fail.

The abyss of corruption that had taken root in the kingdom was so deep that it could not be uprooted in a short period of time.

He needed a successor to carry on his will.

He pondered over how to select and raise his successor without the eyes of the kingdom, and as a result of his pondering, he left seven legacies around the kingdom before he died.

This dungeon is one of them.

After capturing and imprisoning numerous warlocks, Salsung placed powerful seals on them so that only those worthy of being his successor could release them.

The strongest warlock who survives among the numerous warlocks will surely help to continue the legacy of the previous legend.

[Maintenance of murder confirmed.]

[Acquire the second vision swordsmanship of Murder.]
