Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 766



Only Noblemtl

Episode 766. The Broken Daily Life

Three days passed after the long battle ended.

There have been so many things going on in the meantime… .

If I had to pick one, it would be saving the world from the brink of the end of humanity.

The aftermath left the world in a state of massive celebration.

“Oh, I’m alive! Now I’m free!”

“Ugh! I thought it was all over.”

“Well then. After all, heroes do exist.”

“Drink until you die. When else would you drink more than now?”

Every city was filled with alcohol and music.

of course.

The fact that we lost all of our A-class or higher strongmen because of this incident was a reality we didn’t want to face.

In fact, everything that could be called a large guild or main raid group had evaporated.

The governments of each country have hastily assembled replacement teams consisting of B-class or lower, but it is impossible to conquer the 49th floor with them.

87 days.

I had to find a way to somehow get to the next level.

“There is absolutely no information about the masked man?”

Executives of the World Awakened Association have been holding video conferences every day since the conquest of the 48th floor.

To find the one who can be called the only hope.

If someone can defeat the powerful Destia, they should be able to conquer the 49th and 50th floors as well. They should recruit the mysterious rankers without regard to means and methods.

The problem is.

It’s as if the person wearing that mask is a ghost.

“We’ve searched all over Europe, but there are no clues at all.”

“It’s the same in Japan.”

“Even in India and China, nothing has been found about the person.”

Even though each country’s intelligence agency mobilized all its capabilities, there were no results.

It was an ending that could only be absurd.

Right then.

The interim president of the American Awakening Society looked at someone.

“Does Chairman Han Sang-jin also have no income?”

korea.

All eyes are on the Awakened superpower that once possessed the most powerful force.

Sangjin Han, who had been silent all along, opened his mouth for the first time.

“Actually, I received a letter a few hours ago.”

“If it’s a letter…?”

“no way?”

The eyes of those who were half in doubt grew as big as lanterns.

“Yes. Commonly known as ‘Team Leader Timo.’ Although he didn’t reveal his real name, a player using that nickname left a letter. He told us everything about what happened right after the broadcast ended and why the raid failed. Since he’s gone through the third verification, there’s no chance he’s an impersonator.”

“What did he say? Does he want to come with us?”

“Why did the attack fail? Are you saying there is something we don’t know about?”

Questions poured in from all over.

He had even forgotten about his dignity and spilled the coffee he was drinking on the table.

“All I can reveal is that he is Korean. He told me that he would be the only one to conquer the remaining two levels, so I asked for your unilateral support.”

Don’t cross the line.

Don’t ask any questions.

Just take a look.

That was all that was written in the letter.

***

Same time.

A man in a suit appeared at the site of numerous graves.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you.”

It was Jinhyuk.

With a haggard and somewhat gaunt expression.

I mourned what I lost, not what I gained.

Fortunately, Min Jeong-woo, Lee Yu-ri, and Kim Hee-woong of the Black Crow Guild escaped before Nyarlathotep’s clutches reached out.

However, Takeshi, who had infiltrated Las Vegas… .

Could not survive against the primordial being.

‘I believed in you until the end, and then you left. I believed in you unconditionally and followed you… It’s so vain.’

Jinhyuk put down a white flower.

It was a flower that possessed an exceptionally pure white light.

In addition, all the rankers from each country who fought on the 48th floor are also buried here.

A grave without a body.

‘The shelter of heroes.’

This is the name of the place built on a green field.

“…I will remember your noble sacrifice.”

Teresa, dressed in black, also prayed silently.

Teresa also looked more tired than usual.

The tear stains on his eyes were barely visible.

Well, that can’t be helped.

Of the members who went to Eden, only three returned.

Cheon Yoo-seong and Ellis were captured by that man.

“Are you saying that Ellis lost even though she used her unique spear?”

“Yes. I was able to block the first attack, but I wasn’t able to completely block it.”

Teresa nodded heavily.

He added:

“He said he would give me the crown since I won half of it, but he told me to follow him since I was injured. Of course, Ellis refused. Yoo Sung also tried to stop me and got hurt.”

The crown of divinity has been secured.

But the loss was too great.

‘We can’t rule out the possibility that he handed over the crown on purpose.’

Judging from the fact that the contract with the ‘Ring of Abraham’ was not broken, it seemed that his life was still in danger. Cheon Yoo-seong was not the type of person to be taken lightly either.

But since contact has been completely cut off, we must assume that he is in a state of confinement.

“Grandpa Amhwang was also seriously injured. If it weren’t for the efforts of Cheonma-nim, who even used the Jinwonjingi to fight, none of us would have been able to get out of there.”

I knew that guy was serious, but I never thought it would be this bad.

There has also been no news from the operators who had promised to work together, including the Repair Owl and the New Young-eon-hwan.

Originally, we were supposed to meet yesterday.

He didn’t show up at the meeting place.

‘Did it happen to you too?’

While I was putting all my effort into conquering the stairs and organizing my forces, that bastard was moving slowly behind me.

While unfolding numbers that are sharp enough to cut through bones.

That’s why.

There was no after-party or celebration like there used to be every time a major attack was successful.

“The most urgent task is to figure out the bastard’s location and purpose. We need to retrieve Ellis and Yoo-seong before we can move forward.”

“Of course. If there’s anything I can help you with, please let me know.”

“Actually, there is one thing.”

Information about the man gained through conversations with Teresa.

Clearly, he wanted both Ellis and Teresa at the same time.

However, due to the interference of Cheon Yoo-seong and Cheon Ma, he barely managed to get away with only Ellis in his hand. Since he did not achieve his goal 100%, he had no choice but to make additional moves.

If you take that into consideration.

Just once.

There is an opening to exploit the enemy’s plan.

‘Now is the time for that event to occur.’

Jinhyuk slowly began to draw out his next move.

***

Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Jinhyuk came here with Teresa.

“… … .”

Teresa, wearing a light blue one-piece dress, looked at the city that still bore the scars of that day with a complicated expression.

This area was never fully restored due to several areas that could not be purified.

“There is no need for Ms. Teresa to feel guilty. If it weren’t for Ms. Teresa, many more people would have died. This place would have become an inaccessible wasteland.”

Jinhyuk brought a carrier containing mint chocolate and ice chocolate.

Naturally, Teresa chose iced chocolate.

“Thank you for saying so.”

Teresa smiled faintly.

It was a warm smile that made all the accumulated fatigue and guilt melt away.

“I want to eat too!”

Pointy rabbit ears.

Cheongha, one of the twelve zodiac signs, jumped up and down.

It must be so exciting to come out of the tower for the first time and see new artifacts.

“Don’t you remember I told you to stay quiet so people wouldn’t notice?”

“But, but. I really got in a lot of trouble. I think eating something like this would help me feel better.”

After the death of the previous king, Cheongha, who has only recently become king, is learning from high-ranking elders.

Because I was full of clumsiness, I was often persecuted.

“Ha. Okay. Try it. But if you leave any leftover, you’ll get in trouble.”

Jinhyuk handed over mint chocolate.

“huh!”

Cheongha’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Aang!

And. the moment I took a mouthful.

“… … !?”

The rabbit’s ears twitched.

It was so delicious that my soul ran away.

“You know something.”

Jinhyuk nodded his head as if satisfied.

But why is that?

Cheongha didn’t ask for anything again. She just said she was going to find the ‘peculiar smell’, which was her mission, and hurriedly left.

“Mr. Jinhyuk is really bad.”

“yes?”

“No. What can you expect from someone who is so dull?”

Teresa closed one eye and stuck out her tongue.

Then he checked the wristwatch on his right hand.

The person who was supposed to guide us here was scheduled to arrive in a few hours.

The Vatican, once a hostile country, decided to send personnel directly.

“It’s a new feeling. Those guys. I was anxious because I couldn’t catch Miss Teresa.”

It had to be that way.

-He is not corrupted. He is not tainted by evil. He has a nobler and purer soul than anyone here.

Gabriel himself appeared to the Pope in a dream.

With the title of ‘Apostle of Eden’. With all sorts of qualifications attached to him.

“Ha, Haona. She… . used dark powers as her appearance turned black. Anyone could see that it was the power of hell and demons.”

– Hohoho. We said no, so why are you talking so much? Or are you going to wipe out the entire Vatican like Sodom and Gomorrah? Are you going to show us the story behind the Book of Revelation?

Flashing.

A white flash of light enveloped the Pope’s bedroom.

Wood crack!

Gabriel, with thick tendons sticking out of his forehead, cracked the joints of his hands.

The great archangel’s personality also changed slightly while hanging out with the old man corporation.

If you don’t like it, you will mostly use threats and divine punishment instead of mercy and salvation.

As a result, the entire Vatican, including the Pope, recognized Teresa as a saint.

“It’s 3pm now, so I probably have 3 to 4 hours left.”

“Then, I guess I can be alone with Jinhyeok until those people arrive.”

Teresa immediately grabbed Jinhyuk’s hand.

“uh?”

Without even being able to answer, Teresa quickly took Jinhyeok and headed downtown.

Taking pictures of each other at beautiful tourist spots.

Take a gondola ride and enjoy the scenery while listening to sweet jazz.

Delicious food and refreshing champagne were also served.

Teresa clung tightly to Jinhyuk and made a very happy expression.

It was a bonus to hum a song with the gelato I just bought smeared all over my mouth.

“It’s on my lips.”

Jinhyuk took out a tissue and wiped Teresa’s mouth.

Okay then.

Teresa’s face turned red like a carrot.

“Oh, thank you.”

Emotions are conveyed without filtering.

Jinhyuk also noticed what that feeling was like.

but.

Not right now.

A huge barrier called the Tower of Trials stands in the way, and greater variables and stronger enemies than ever await.

No answer can be given until the final battle.

Right then.

Tit ti ti!

The alarm on my phone rang loudly.

The promised time has arrived.

“Now, let’s go.”

“yes.”

The expressions on both people’s faces changed 180 degrees.

That sweet and short date has come to an end.
