Only Noblemtl

Episode 782. The Master of the Crown of Despair, ‘Permut’ (1)

In front of the black crystal ball.

Permut watched the battle unfolding on Mount Hwagwa.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!

As Jecheon Daeseong, wielding the Yeouibong, stepped forward, countless warriors of the Chukjok fell like autumn leaves.

“Indeed, he deserves to be called the strongest. It’ll be harder to find a rival below the 49th floor.”

A superior version of Cheonma who survived even after facing Shubniguras.

There was no such thing as numerical advantage in the face of that monster.

but.

Kiiiiiing!

The battle took another turn when Var-Abyss, one of Tindalos’ hounds, intervened.

Chorus!

A golden chain bestowed upon him by North Idik.

Due to the ‘restrictions’ and ‘restraints’ of absolute judgment using it, the movements and range of action of Jecheon Daeseong were significantly limited.

This was because it was the first time he had encountered such a type of monster, and the combined attacks of the 50-story ideological entities, the Shoggaths, that he had brought with him were formidable.

“Think of your opponent as being too bad, King of the Fruit Mountain.”

Permut took his gaze away from the crystal ball.

Even if we don’t look into it further, there will be no change.

Currently, in Hwagwasan Mountain, not only the Barabys, but also the armies of the Four Kings, the Uma King, and other kings are advancing.

If there is a difference, he and other special forces under his command will join in.

Bam.

Permut placed a cover over the crystal ball.

There’s no need to worry about fights whose endings are obvious anymore.

Even without that, there were a lot of things I had to do right now.

for example.

“Like finding the location of that fugitive.”

One of the few anxieties that could interfere with His great plan.

To cut off that slim chance, you have to move more perfectly.

But right then.

Kwaaaaang!

The entire huge cave shook.

“Keeee!”

“Koooo!”

The screams of the undead monsters who had been assigned to guard the outskirts rang out.

“An intruder?”

Permut grabbed the cane.

Clearly, this place is equipped with a device that only kings can find.

Who the hell is that…?

“This is Kang Jin-hyeok.”

“You brought your companions with you. Ellis, Teresa, the Frost Spirit, and the Cat Clan.”

The Death Knight and Lich standing next to him answered instead.

“You came after Cheongha’s magic. You’re quite the person. You’re well-versed not only in combat but also in black magic.”

“What should we do?”

“That bastard is a monster that hunted even the most ancient beings. Using ordinary soldiers would only cause more damage.”

“Yeah. If we respond clumsily, we might end up being wiped out.”

A variable with a different meaning than Rick Hennessy.

There was one more hound that could threaten the 50th floor and hold a knife to his throat.

“I will go myself. Activate ‘Yeonseongjin’.”

If you want to catch a big fish, you have to use the right bait.

***

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!

The upward sword strike created a huge storm.

“Huh. This place is perfect for me.”

Teresa smiled with satisfaction.

The endless waves of magic rushing in.

Even if you cut and tear it, the prey keeps rolling in, so it couldn’t be better.

[Stat ‘Darkness’ points increase by +0.01!]

[Stat ‘Darkness’ points increase by +0.004!]

[Status ‘Darkness’…]

[… … rises!]

Well, since no proper ones have come out yet, the increasing numbers are minimal.

Isn’t there a saying that goes, “Many a little makes a mickle.”

As time passes, you will feel a quite sweet taste.

“But if you move too much, your muscles will wear out… If possible, why don’t you come all at once? This older sister is a little busy.”

Teresa extended her greatsword forward.

[‘Fallen Holy Sign’ is activated!]

Woohoo!

A cross dyed in purple rose up.

It was a terrifying aura that made even the undead, who had no emotion called fear, take a step back.

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

Seoari trembled slightly as she looked at Teresa like that.

“Huh. That’s all. I’m stronger than that.”

“Really?”

“Of course. That foolish saintess could turn a noble noble of the night to dust with just 10% of his power.”

“You look so young… You’re amazing.”

Crackle.

At the mention of the word ‘young’, a small vein appeared on Ellis’ forehead.

“If Jim were to regain his original form, I hope you remember that he is much more amazing than that body. What I mean is, don’t judge Jim based on his current appearance.”

“Huh? That’s not what I meant….”

“Anyway! Keep that in mind!”

“Yes? Yes!”

Ellis clenched her fists as if she couldn’t give up.

‘By the way, none of the higher-level undead were deployed.’

Even in the midst of the bickering, Jinhyuk was sharply observing the overall situation.

At first glance, it looks like they are pushing ahead overwhelmingly.

But, that old snake, Permut, would never give up his bedroom so easily.

Maybe, at this timing… .

The gaze moved quickly.

Parts!

From the edge of the eastern forest, faint smoke can be seen rising.

Next is the south.

Next is the west.

I see, that was what you were thinking.

They’re going to throw in a very bold move right from the start.

Sure, that could be quite a headache if you don’t touch it now.

“I’m just playing with the kids here.”

“Where is the contractor going?”

“I need to talk to the old man in the back room for a moment. I’ll be back soon.”

Boom!

Before even hearing the answer, Jinhyuk flew away.

[‘Subspace Inventory’ is now open!]

“Mosquitoes!”

Sweet potatoes appeared, having eaten and rested well and recharged their energy.

The sweet potato carrying Jinhyeok spread its black wings wide and flew at high speed.

A rapidly changing landscape.

Kukukukuku!

Within minutes, a massive dark sanctuary appeared.

It is of a bizarre yet magnificent size.

Hideous structures that seemed as if they should not exist in this world were constantly sucking up the magical power around them.

“Um. D. Akarva.”

“Oh. Sabbath Ma.”

“Ulrka. Oh Sarah.”

All around him, eyeless fanatics were praying.

The scriptures written in the ancient language of the demon world burned with a soft glow.

at the same time.

“Ugh.”

The pungent smell of blood stung my nose.

The whole field of vision turns red.

How many mountain offerings have been put in? More than half of the Yeonseongjin has already been completed.

“Sweep it away.”

Jinhyuk gave an order to Goguma.

“Mosquitoes!”

Goguma was also enraged by the ominous sight.

Breath came out of the mouth of the sweet potato, which had puffed up its cheeks.

Hurrruk!

A hot flame burst into flames in the midst of the fanatics.

It is a hot fire that can melt not only flesh but even bones.

Now I won’t be able to do that ritual for a while.

I thought so.

“Um… . D, de aka… ba.”

“Sakura Batra.”

Even as their entire bodies burned, the fanatics’ prayers did not stop.

It’s not that I can’t feel pain. I’m just obsessed with forgetting even that.

Right then.

“You came!”

From the very top of the altar, Richie shouted.

[Elder Lich activates his unique ability ‘Horad Helm’!]

A green flash of light erupted, accompanied by an eerie sound.

The sweet potato performed acrobatic maneuvers to avoid the incoming flashes of light.

Around the sanctuary, a number of Liches are seen preparing to cast spells.

‘You’re annoying.’

Bam.

Jinhyuk’s figure disappeared.

The place where it appeared was in the middle of where the Elder Liches were.

Crunch!

As the dagger swung horizontally, the torsos of the five elder liches were split in half.

[Horad’s shield is shattered by an overwhelming sword strike!]

Shields are meaningless.

It was impossible to defend against Jinhyeok’s attacks that moved all over the place unless they were offset by abilities of equal level.

“Huh!”

“Stop him from running wild!”

“We must protect the sanctuary!”

Half a beat later, the Death Knights, who were acting as escorts, jumped out.

He rode his ghost horse and galloped without hesitation, targeting Jinhyeok from all sides.

These guys, like the Elder Liches, are superior beings that far surpass the normal Death Knights.

but.

[Subspace is opened!]

“Master!”

Even in such a high-ranking species, there are ranks.

As T-Bone appeared, scattering death blades, and charged, dozens of Death Knights’ heads flew off their bodies.

Magic too.

Kendo is useless.

Jinhyuk reached the center of the sanctuary after dealing with dozens of high-level undead in the blink of an eye.

Let’s deal with this first.

Jinhyuk, standing in front of the Magic Stone, which could be called the core of the sanctuary, opened his palm.

[The unique ability ‘One Eye Moon’ is activated!]

A mini version, not completely open in the air.

A dazzling light flashed from the eyes that appeared on the palm.

“Hey, stop it!”

“No!”

The surviving elder liches screamed at the top of their lungs.

Because a feat more precious than life was about to go up in smoke in an instant.

Of course, Jinhyuk was not the type to grant such a desperate request.

[Sweet Potato activates ‘Peer’!]

“mosquito!”

The thunderous screams reverberated through the air and crushed all the monsters.

In the meantime, the magical power of the completed One Eye Gate surged toward one point.

Pupupupupu!

The magic stone split in half, and the sanctuary behind it was also engulfed in fire.

With this, we succeeded in drastically reducing the speed of consciousness.

“Hmm.”

It was then that a new voice was heard.

“… … !?”

Jinhyuk quickly distanced himself.

Cold sweat running down my spine.

I didn’t notice it approaching.

Permut.

The master of this realm appeared, wearing a splendid crown.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

A heart that beats out of sync.

Even though Permut possessed a crown and had special abilities, he could not have displayed such a sense of oppression and alienation.

No matter how high you estimate his power, it was still far below Tulchana Gross.

however.

‘Why?’

The question didn’t last long.

Something alien was taking up space where the skeleton’s heart was.

no way.

“Did you get a transplant?”

“Hoo. Do you know about this too?”

Permut looked at Jinhyeok as if he found it strange.

There’s no way I wouldn’t know.

How could I not know?

A magic stone called ‘the other side of the spider’.

To be exact, it was a soul stone made from the ‘hearts of the Elder Gods.’

That size and color.

Considering the quality of magic inherent in it… .

It must have been created by hunting at least three high-ranking Elder Gods.

for a moment.

Jinhyuk’s eyes became even narrower.

Because the sword images engraved on the soul stone were quite familiar.

“What were you doing with Yoo Seong? It turns out you were hunting Elder Gods.”

I started to get a little bit of an idea of ​​what the guy’s intentions were.

At the same time, I realized just how absurd the current state of affairs is.

“They say you’re quick-witted. You’re even better than I imagined. But it’s too late to realize it now.”

“Do you think it’s you who is taking it easy when one of your sanctuaries has been destroyed?”

“no.”

Permut shook his head.

“If you put in the effort, it’s not that hard to finish the ritual. It’s just a matter of whether there’s a prey worth it.”

A moment that could almost be called simultaneous.

Taaak!

Permut snapped his fingers.

Tsk tsk tsk!

A single ray of light descended down into the sanctuary.

[‘Chronos’ Pocket Watch’ is forcibly activated!]

Boom! Bam!

A beam of light suddenly enveloped the body of a giant man.

And. without hesitation, he dug into where the heart was.

“Kwaaah!”

The Olympian gods trapped beneath the sanctuary screamed.

‘Cronus’, the god of Olympus.

After being captured, he was sealed for this moment only.

Gulp.

The overflowing blood instantly activated the sanctuary.

[The consciousness has been completed.]

East, west, south, north.

Huge beams of light shot up from the sanctuaries in different locations.

[The scenario of Apocalypse ‘Covenant’ begins.]

The blade prepared by Permut reached Jinhyeok’s heart first.
