Episode 781. 49th floor ‘The World of the Zodiac’ (2)

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

Fluctuating magic power.

A storm of a different dimension than before engulfed the entire 49th floor.

Jinhyeok, who was running quickly, glanced in the direction where the whirlwind was coming from.

Kwajik!

Parts side!

A thunderstorm pouring down with black clouds.

It seems like I can feel the wrath of Jecheon Daeseong right before my eyes.

‘Have you decided to stand on my side for now?’

I don’t know if it was because of pride or some other reason, but I was able to take a deep breath right away.

Of course, even leaving that out, the situation wasn’t that easy.

Because the primordial beings are pouring everything they have into preventing entry to the 50th floor.

but.

‘On the other hand, it also means that there will be that many loopholes.’

Beings on other levels also have to pay a price to go down below where they belong.

Whether it’s a coin, a relic, or a magic stone.

This means that we need to make an equivalent exchange that will feel quite damaging.

And. Primordial beings would have much more special restrictions than those on other levels.

Even if the release of the Necronomicon had somewhat eased those restrictions, it would have yielded something valuable.

‘If possible, I’d like to pay that this time.’

It seemed quite possible that the North Eidic level had manifested.

While I was thinking about this and that, I reached a point where the once lush forest was completely burned down.

Hurrruk!

Black flames rising here and there.

There were broken rocks and huge pits dug here and there.

This is evidence that there was a fierce battle just a moment ago.

However, there were only corpses of Miao and undead soldiers here and there. Qingha was nowhere to be seen.

“What an ominous flame.”

Ellis frowned.

A ember that burns even where there is nothing left to burn.

Rather than simply destroying something, it left a terrible curse on the area.

This is the effect of the ‘Crown of Despair’.

“It’s not an ordinary fire, considering it resists even my ice.”

The frost spirit’s expression hardened slightly as he watched the flames eating away at the snowflakes.

I hadn’t really made up my mind to use my power, but I had a gut feeling that it would be much harder to deal with than the Hashishin.

surely.

‘His flames are heterogeneous, though.’

There is also the ‘Crown of Despair’, the most secret of all the crowns, so it will not be easy even for the most ancient climbers.

but.

There’s one thing he doesn’t know.

Jinhyuk nodded his head to the side.

Then, as if she had been waiting, Teresa stepped forward.

“Leave it to me.”

“Trying to purify with divine power? Even if you’re a saint class, it looks difficult…”

Ellis looked half-doubtful.

“Try it.”

Jinhyuk crossed his arms leisurely.

[Your ‘personality’ changes!]

Swish….

The gentle atmosphere disappeared, and instead a cold darkness came.

The fallen saintess, her blonde hair turning black, leaned her huge sword against her shoulder.

“Hmm. This place is full of pleasant scents. What’s going on? Do you know all these refreshing places?”

Teresa took a deep breath.

Looking at the way his body was slender and floating, it seemed like this ominousness really suited him well.

“I felt a little sorry for you for having such a hard time behind the scenes. I wanted to help you relieve some of your stress this time.”

“Oh my. You know how to say such wonderful things. Our Sun-ding would love that.”

“Foolish Saintess!”

“The little one is always with me. He still lacks dignity.”

“hey!”

Just as Ellis was about to take out the skewer, Jinhyuk quickly intervened.

“There’s no time. Absorb this quickly.”

“If that’s the case, I won’t decline.”

Teresa approached the flame, licking her lips with her tongue.

Whoosh!

As I took a deeper breath, all the sparks that had been stuck to the ground were sucked up.

[‘Darkness’ attribute is strengthened!]

[Stat ‘Darkness’ points increase by +3!]

[Stat ‘Darkness’ points increase by +6!]

[Stat ‘Darkness’ points increase by +1!]

The magical power blooming around Teresa’s body became even thicker.

“Hoo.”

“I didn’t know something like this was possible.”

Ellis and Frost Spirit let out exclamations without realizing it.

Teresa, who was growing stronger by the second, was achieving accomplishments that were hard to believe even when watching with her own eyes.

‘Okay. As expected.’

Jinhyuk cheered inwardly.

Fermut may not know this at all, but there is a card here that can devour his flames.

furthermore.

There was another effect here besides simply amplifying magical power.

Teresa, who had been swallowing flames, suddenly looked into the distance.

“60km over there, point. The owner of this flame is there.”

That’s right, you can figure out where Permut is.

Teresa would eventually reach a point where she could read the bastard’s intentions and plans.

As soon as Jinhyeok identified where Cheongha was, he prepared to move.

If you want to extract items from the rescue and Permut’s base, you should prioritize this.

Oh, before you go.

[Subspace inventory is opened!]

[The ‘Spirit Beasts of the Five Great Elements’ respond to their master’s call!]

[The ‘Soft Black Crane’ is summoned!]

“Did you call, master?”

Undine saluted with her little arms.

“Please pass this note to Yeonhwa and Taemin. The atmosphere here is tense, so make sure to move within the Malrang Black Crane’s weather changes.”

“Ahem! It may be an easy mission for this noble body… but, if it is a request from my lord, I must do it. I am not complaining at all. Please put down that sword.”

“Okay, please.”

Only by doing things precisely and perfectly, like meshing gears, can we win this war.

***

In the dark space, the operators who lost the battle with the man were imprisoned.

A uniquely shaped barrier that I have never seen before.

The operators, too, were trapped in that alien and unfamiliar territory and had not even the slightest intention of escaping until now.

This configuration.

This form.

A type that does not exist in the Tower of Trials.

‘no way.’

No, I don’t think so.

It made no sense that anyone else besides himself knew about that realm. It was the most secret and fearful secret in the world.

The owl bit its lip hard.

‘But I can’t guess what your intention is.’

He could have killed her, but he didn’t.

I don’t know why.

A kind of game?

Or just a whim?

Whatever it was, it was just something that happened according to the man’s mood. If that mood ever got twisted, they would all turn to dust in an instant.

‘The juice of chaos’.

Liquid collected from plants on the 50th floor.

If you use this….

Crunch!

The owl scratched his palm with its claws.

The purple juice hidden inside the flesh fell to the floor.

The opportunity arose to exploit the tiny gap that had opened up while the man was away.

but.

There’s only one person who can escape using this.

That’s because I only brought a small amount.

“Now is the time… . Hurry up and get out.”

All the operators pushed the repair owl.

“Ha, but.”

The owl stuttered.

Because it was obvious what would happen to those left behind after they escaped.

Because I knew there was little chance of me lasting until they came to rescue me.

“There’s nothing I can do. If you don’t go….”

2 The chicken made up its mind.

And. he handed over the essence containing the operator’s unique power.

A pure crystal that has already been completely extracted.

Even if I put this back in, it won’t stop life from going out.

The rest of the operators agreed with her.

“I will definitely make it a success.”

The owl carried all the burden.

Parts!

Damn it!

[The ‘Temporary Gate’ is closed!]

A very small gap that appears between the barriers.

The owl nestled in.

In an instant, an enormous pressure weighed down my entire body.

Kukukukukukuku!

A feeling of being compressed and crushed.

Pain that has crossed the threshold

How much time has passed like that?

The space split apart, and a shadow appeared, falling down.

“Ugh. Ugh…”

The owl barely managed to come to his senses.

I felt like I would faint at any moment, but if I collapsed here, I would be caught by the pursuers right away.

‘At least we have to get to the system safety zone.’

The 49th floor, however, had more places that the operators called ‘blind spots’ compared to other floors.

The owl squeezed out all the remaining magical power it had.

There are two purposes.

The first is to contact the Goinmul Corporation located somewhere in the world of the twelve zodiac signs.

And the second one is….

‘We have to meet. We have to.’

One of the few hopes that can stand up to men.

Rick Hennessy.

We need to find a tower designer who can turn this dismal situation around.

Even if.

‘Even if I die here.’

Bam.

The first heavy steps were taken.

***

Bam.

“It’s here.”

Teresa stopped walking.

At first glance, it looked like a pretty nice waterfall and lake that you would only see at a tourist attraction.

However, if we focus a little more on the feeling, some points that are easy to miss at first glance are revealed.

Woohoo!

There are faint black powders sprinkled on it.

“Is it black magic?”

Ellis ran her fingers through the powder.

“Yes. That’s also quite high-level. It was definitely worth absorbing that bastard’s black flame.”

“Well, it stands to reason that I would be of more help than that little brat over there.”

Teresa struck again.

Ellis perked up her ears and growled like a cat.

I wonder if it was right that we were sleeping comfortably in the same blanket until yesterday.

Jinhyuk let out a long sigh and sent his magical power into the magic circle made of powder.

As expected of a top-tier necromancer, he’s quite skilled at applying curses and black magic, but unfortunately, I think he just met the wrong opponent.

As the arrangement of the magic circle changed, black powder was sucked into Teresa’s mouth.

[The great magic ‘Black Night’s Boundary’ is distorted!]

[‘Alert Alarm’ is temporarily disabled!]

[The ‘vision distortion’ effect disappears!]

Parts!

The visible sight collapsed, revealing the true form of Permut’s stronghold.

Gulp, gulp!

A waterfall with green lava flowing down.

It is a magical realm where all kinds of skeletons roam.

‘Hoo.’

Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.

From the uniquely shaped bone dragons, to the liches that conjure up ancient dark magics, to the Death Knights that have been created to the level of great heroes.

Various types of legions were being created.

It was a bonus that every second was strengthened differently by receiving magical power flowing from the ‘Crown of Despair’.

Right then.

“There is a cat king in front of me.”

Seoari pointed in one direction with her finger.
