Episode 772. Ancient Climbers (2)

“You… .”

Krang’s eyes narrowed.

He is a person I know.

To be exact, several beings have been warning us about him.

-I don’t know what his plan is, but he’s dangerous. I heard that the Goinmul Corporation also suffered a fatal blow from his scheme.

A few days ago, their apostle Jang Bo-kyung said something like this.

A guy called ‘man’ is… .

Kang Jin-hyeok is the one who is most wary, and those belonging to the Outer God forces are also trying to avoid an all-out conflict.

“Ugh. Judging from the reactions, it seems like you’ve heard a lot of bad things. I guess your image-making efforts have failed.”

The man stood next to Cheon Yoo-seong, clicking his tongue.

Bam.

Then he put his hand on Cheon Yu-seong’s shoulder.

“Well, since I have someone on my side, I can put up with the image being tarnished a bit. This time, I got my hands on a really sharp sword.”

And I was given new powers… .

The blade was made to reach even the primordial beings.

Even if it’s Kang Jin-hyeok, it won’t be easy.

furthermore.

“A very strong person has joined us from afar. I think there is no chance of you getting out of here.”

A silver-haired girl was sitting on a high rock.

It was Ellis von Ataraxia.

Ellis’s eyebrows arched at the man’s words.

“Make no mistake. The burden has not been passed on to you. You are here simply because of the contract.”

“Ah. I was so excited that I slipped up. I apologize. After all, the great ancestor of Ataraxia is not the type to submit to someone.”

The man shrugged his shoulders, brushing away Ellis’s anger.

“But I believe you know that you have to keep your promises.”

“… Yeah. I know.”

Ellis bit her lip.

Then he grabbed his left arm.

Shiver shiver.

The cramps gradually became more intense.

The blood flowing through my veins felt particularly hot.

To the point where no matter how much you try to control it with magic power, it is impossible.

The man who had been watching the scene from the corner of his eye chuckled.

“You guys, Jinjo, are trying to continue this pointless resistance. That’s what makes you so charming.”

Ouch.

Clapping hands once again draws attention.

“Then, I guess we should start taking the holy relics. Since the runaway spirit has become completely aware of his identity, there are many things we need to prepare in preparation for it. Seriously, preparing the Last Supper requires a lot of work.”

The conversation ended there.

Cheon Yoo-seong raised his sword above his head.

[The Ultimate Sword Demon]

Inherit the sword of the sword demon.

Type 1.

Beyond that, new colors were added.

This is the sword of heaven, and at the same time, it is the sword of a man.

[‘Crimson Black Lotus’ is activated!]

An unknown sword strike was aimed at Krang’s neck.

***

Kwakwakwakwa…!

A chill swept over me that made me feel like my whole body would freeze just by looking at it.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Frozen snakes.

All kinds of traps also stopped functioning.

In the bitter cold that stops everything.

Sabak.

The frost spirit took elegant steps.

As I walked, snowflakes completely engulfed my surroundings. Even if someone were to attack me by surprise, they would be blocked by those snowflakes.

‘Indeed, it is truly amazing.’

Jinhyuk let out an exclamation as he walked behind her.

I knew that climbers would start to appear in earnest from now on. However, seeing and experiencing them in the game and actually encountering them were completely different stories.

“Is this the right way?”

“Yes. Just go about 300m more and then take the third passage on the right.”

Jinhyuk answered without hesitation.

The frost spirit looked at Jinhyeok with strange eyes.

She was surprised too.

Well, that can’t be helped.

Hasasin is one of the most secretive and dark of the climbers. He thoroughly builds his own stronghold and enjoys inviting his prey to hunt.

however.

‘Wow, you know this area so well.’

At first I was half in doubt.

If you just follow where Jinhyeok tells you to go, a path that leads straight inside will appear.

The preparations for traps and divine beings were also admirable.

‘I’ve heard that the upper echelons have been in an uproar lately. Could it be because of this man?’

Although they were climbers who lived as they pleased, they occasionally heard news about the upper echelons.

Some power was destroyed.

One of the higher gods died or something.

and.

Among the many reports was a story about someone challenging the primordial beings.

That’s ridiculous.

Because there could be no one who would confront such a natural disaster head-on.

That’s why.

“Why do you climb the tower?”

The Frost Spirit had to ask.

About the purpose of this new strongman coming to the tower, and what his hidden wish is.

Then, Jinhyeok, who was using the glacier sculpture, stopped walking for a moment.

“I want to see the top of the tower. Not alone, but with my loved ones. I want to engrave that view in my mind.”

“Just… is that all? Rumor has it that not only will you be guaranteed all sorts of wealth and honor, but they’ll even grant your wishes.”

“Some people might be desperately searching for such things, but to me at least, I think they are useless. The top of the tower is not a place for those who chase such things.”

“The more I get to know him, the more interesting he becomes.”

A subtle smile appeared on the corner of Frost Spirit’s mouth.

The questions and answers I’ve had with the powerful so far have been all too obvious.

Conquest, destruction, resentment, monopoly, salvation, honor, etc.

Whether it’s pretense or truth.

These were wishes based solely on his own fundamental desires.

but.

‘It’s different.’

As if I was dealing with someone who transcended everything.

There was not a single speck of stain on the other person’s pure desire.

It is enough to see the top of the tower with my colleagues.

To that pure wish.

Thump…!

Something in the heart of the Frost Spirit that had been frozen for a long time stirred.

[Copy Conditions: The Frost Spirit, who climbed the tower in ancient times, gave up her goal after encountering overwhelming despair while attacking the very top of the tower. If you can help her regain her lost dream and gain her trust, you can copy one of the Frost Spirit’s unique abilities and unique spears. (However, the range and proficiency of the abilities that can be copied will vary depending on the range of Frost Spirit’s emotions.)

‘It’s easy. It’s easy.’

Just by cosplaying as a boy with many dreams, he gets off easy. That’s why kids who don’t have much experience in social life are easy to deal with.

Jinhyuk whetted his appetite.

A golden opportunity to copy the abilities of ancient climbers who are not easy to even encounter!

You’d be an idiot to miss this.

Especially since I had developed a certain level of affection for the Frost Spirit due to their shared ice powers.

Just touch on the emotional line a little.

Spending time together and building rapport is enough.

‘While I’m here, I should also try out Hasasin’s abilities.’

The bastard’s unique window is also extremely rare.

“Let’s hurry. In 30 minutes, something worse than snakes will come out.”

“all right.”

Their journey continued like this, with each of them harboring different thoughts.

***

After about 20 more minutes, Jinhyuk and the Frost Spirit reached the deepest part of the labyrinth.

The atmosphere is eerie.

The huge space with fluttering black curtains reminded me of a medieval catacombs.

Knock knock. Knock knock.

The difference from what we have seen so far is that there are many candles lit here.

In the middle of it all was the holy relic, the ‘Ancient Oath’, and the Hashishin who was caressing it.

The real game is finally starting.

“You finally made it here. Much faster than I expected.”

The sergeant let out a long sigh.

Just a moment ago, it seemed as if he had been exerting all his energy to continuously absorb the holy relic, as smoke filled with magical power was continuously rising from his body.

“I felt like the labyrinth would turn into hell the later I got there, so I skipped sightseeing and came as quickly as possible.”

“Before we begin, let me ask you one last question.”

The sergeant grabbed the sword.

“I came all the way here to make a suggestion…. Let’s take a look first.”

“Cooperate with me. If you do, I promise you the position of second in command. That means you will reign supreme, except for the 50th floor.”

“Hey. I don’t understand how these villains can come up with such empty and consistent suggestions every time.”

If you were going to go out on a limb, you should have offered me the seat above you, not the number two.

Unfortunately, the negotiations broke down.

“Frost Spirit. Do you agree with me?”

“I find this much more interesting than yours. Besides, I personally don’t have a hobby of sticking to things that don’t stand a chance.”

“That’s too bad. I thought it could be a good source of power.”

The sergeant who clicked his tongue glanced at where Jinhyeok was.

“But I don’t see any of the comrades that came with you. They seem to be less skilled than you, but have they not arrived yet? Or are they hiding like rats, waiting for a chance to attack?”

“You don’t need to know that.”

Teresa and Cheongha have other things to do.

So don’t worry about it.

It’s probably too much just to deal with us right now.

Jinhyuk drew a clean line.

Swish.

chuck.

Jinhyeok and Seorihonryung each took out their weapons.

Different types of snowflakes and frost slowly expanded the area.

[‘Frozen Realm’ – ‘Frost Prison’ is activated!]

Damn it.

The ground and walls began to slowly freeze.

“I think you’re mistaken about something….”

The sergeant took a step forward.

moment.

Creepy.

A fierce, cold wind blew.

The candles danced, swinging violently from side to side.

at the same time.

[The ‘Ancient Oath’ responds to the call of a new master!]

Sasa Sak.

The lizards clinging to the cylindrical relic moved quickly.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

A tremendous storm of magical power bursts out from inside the cylinder.

‘no way.’

An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk’s pupils.

Obviously, he must have sped up so much to deal with this before it happened. But for some reason, Hasasin succeeded in absorbing the relic several times faster than before.

I don’t know what kind of prank you’re playing.

But what is certain is that this situation is the worst of all conceivable scenarios.

In the midst of the rushing torrent.

“What I did was not a suggestion.”

The eerie voice of the sergeant rang out.

“A kind of mercy. One last chance to save that wretched life.”

That’s not just talk.

It’s not even the empty boasts or threats of a cornered hunting dog.

“Huh!”

There’s probably still a few minutes left.

The match must be decided before the Holy Relic is fully activated.

Jinhyuk, who thought so, threw the ice thorns made with ‘glaciers’.

Kwakwakwakwang!

In an instant, the place where the messenger had been standing turned into a beehive.

However, the messenger had already disappeared from there.

“Hahahaha! You think you can beat me in a few minutes? You’ve dealt with a few of my clones before you can even figure out what’s going on. Great. Let me show you how stupid that idea is.”

[The unique skill ‘Invitation to the Black Night’ is activated!]

The unique ability of the lower body has been activated.
