Chapter 329: Chapter 326

Episode 326. 11 hours before gate opening (1)

The question “Why?”

With 1 second left in the time limit, Ellis must have obtained the Eternal Rose.

“What? Why the hell…”

Eris stuttered, looking at the Eternal Rose in her hand.

The golden-yellow rose had not yet lost its luster.

“The flower on the right chest is fake.”

“Fake…?”

“Yes. Fake. And this is real.”

A new rose appeared on Jinhyeok’s left chest.

[The 3-star ‘Vision Distortion’ barrier is lifted.]

Use the barrier to hide the real Eternal Rose hanging on the left. A fake made of glacial molding was attached to the right.

Everyone was so preoccupied with getting the rose that they didn’t even pay attention to where the rose was.

In the end, clumsy confidence in victory was a failure.

Thanks to the use of items plucked from hooded cranes as sacrifices, the near-perfect perfection of the glacial modeling certainly played a part in directing the fake.

“I. I thought I… I thought I won. I thought I beat them all and got the rose… black…. I planned everything to go to the lake and the restaurant…”

Elise cried.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

hmm.

Because I am so sincerely sad, I feel about 0.1mg of remorse for some reason.

It’s like a very faint feeling of scratching an area where your conscience might be with a needle.

“Don’t be so sad. Even if it’s not an event, I’ll go to the place you want later to play.”

It’s not that I don’t like being together.

I just don’t have the time or space to do that right now.

“…really?”

Alice opened her rabbit eyes.

“Okay, so stop crying. What is this in front of all the kids whose name is Jinjo?”

“…Yeah. Okay. Then give me some blood instead!”

“Blood, blood?”

“I’ve been moving a lot lately, so I’m weak. Originally, I was able to see through the barrier, but I didn’t notice it because I didn’t have enough magic power.”

“…Whoa. Okay. You think you’re donating blood.”

When Jinhyeok let out a sigh, Alice became calm as if she had never been like that.

There were eventful things, but everything in Moorim was finished.

Now…

Jinhyeok’s gaze turned to a distant place.

So, it’s time to start the great war that will come from outside the tower.

＊＊＊

Korea Awakened Association.

Jinhyeok came here to talk about the worst upcoming outbreak.

“Thank you for coming. Player Kang Jin-hyuk.”

Han Sang-jin, who is in charge of the association, met Jin-hyeok with a heavy face.

“Ah…”

Then suddenly, he blushed at the fact that he had not served anything after welcoming the guest.

“Sorry, I’m not in a hurry. Coffee or green tea… I have other drinks. Which would you like?”

“It’s okay to drink. More than that, you said there was information about the gate… I’d like to hear that first.”

Jinhyuk sat down on the sofa.

Han Sang-jin also lay down on the opposite sofa with a firmer expression on his face.

“First and foremost, I think we can predict when an outbreak will happen.”

“…! Does that mean you’ve finished analyzing your magic power?”

“Yes. Based on our expert team’s measurements, we estimate that the outbreak will occur in about 11 hours.”

Recently, analyzing the magic of the gate has developed dramatically through the use of high-level magic stones and measurement-type awakeners.

There may be a margin of error, but it would be correct to set 11 hours as the limit.

‘It’s pretty much what I expected.’

Again, I think, ‘The association has also developed a lot’.

When you see that technology has come so far.

“It’s not long.”

Of course, there is no point in evacuating people now.

Wherever you go, everything will turn into nothingness.

Han Sang-jin knew that too, so he called Jin-hyeok here.

“But there is still a way.”

Han Sang-jin brought out the main point.

“Player Jinhyeok Kang, by any chance, how much do you know about the magical power limit of the gate?”

“If each creature moves beyond the gate to another place, it requires equivalent magic power. Are you saying that?”

“That’s right. An A-class monster needs an A-class gate, and an S-class monster needs a gate with at least an S-class tolerance. The capacity is not large enough to withstand the monsters trying to pass through.”

Jinhyeok immediately realized the meaning of Han Sangjin’s words.

“It means that there is a power source somewhere that supports the magic of the gate.”

“We’re guessing so.”

Certainly… that makes sense.

For someone the size of Shub-Niguras to manifest as a body, it required magical power beyond common sense.

Of course, the gate itself would not be easy to handle.

In particular, now that the world is simultaneously preparing for manifestation, the demand is bound to increase even more.

‘I have a countermeasure, but it has a lower chance of success.’

Rather than that, it would be more likely to be able to prevent the manifestation of Shubnigurath itself.

“Where is it located?”

“A few hours ago, along with a magnitude 2 earthquake, we confirmed that a small island was newly formed on the sea 3km away from Dokdo.”

distance not too far.

If you go through space movement magic, you can reach it right now.

“As raids from large guilds, including the fathers to fight Dangun, will be deployed, player Kang Jin-hyeok, please lead them there. We promise to reward you on a positive level.”

within the remaining 11 hours.

You must find and destroy the source of magical power.

“All right.”

Jinhyeok accepted the association’s proposal.

＊＊＊

Clap!

The sound of a bonfire burning echoed.

Hastings, who was in the attic, stared at the huge screen in silence.

On the screen, a recorded video about an event that took place in Nakyang a few hours ago was being played over and over again.

“…”

After watching the video for a while, Hastings smashed the wine glass he was holding.

Quadduk!

Shattered glass shattered and fell to the floor.

Right then.

“The Moorim side also failed in the end. Samaja. I thought he was a bit usable. I didn’t expect to waste the blue dragon so vainly.”

The woman across from Hastings opened her mouth.

Curly purple hair.

The strange aura emanating from the enchanting eyes was impressive.

He is the head of the great vampire family and the ‘Hisinth de Shepiltino’ who leads the Shepiltino family.

“At best, I’ve taught you how to control all four gods, but only then do you think that Kang Jin-hyeok is not a human but a god. No, he may be even more powerful than the administrators.”

“…You’re moderately sarcastic. I don’t feel comfortable enough to laugh at that.”

“Oops, sorry about this. I made a mistake in front of a great senior manager.”

Seeing Hastings furrow between his eyebrows, Hysyns raised his hands slightly upward.

“We’ve already lost two heads of households. The rest of the heads of families didn’t attend this event except for the head of Hycinth, probably feeling a sense of crisis. At this rate, our alliance itself might be in danger.”

Exension, who was with him, also helped out.

As the new head of Ataraxia, watching Elise, the previous head of the family, grow more and more powerful. It felt like I was sitting on a cushion of thorns.

“I understand that the owners are anxious. However, please be patient and wait a little longer. Even if you don’t, we have recruited talented people.”

“Are you saying that there are more capable chess horses left than Sima Zhao?”

“That’s right. Ah! You just arrived.”

Hastings looked through the door.

then that moment.

Sigh…

The wooden door opened.

Two people showed up.

It was Melena, a red-haired woman who belonged to the Mine Association, and an old man in his 70s.

“Hey, we’ve arrived.”

Melena looked around anxiously.

Although he was already subordinated to the devil named Jinhyeok as a stigma, the people in front of him were not metaphorical expressions, but absolutes who really controlled the tower.

It is inevitable that the downy hair will stand up and your throat will burn.

“Aren’t they human? Couldn’t they be the competent talents Hasting-sama said?”

Hysynth frowned.

The only expected card is the player.

Aren’t they both worms that can only feel a handful of magical energy?

With only this amount of members, let alone Samaja, he would not be able to reach the toes of lower-ranking blood relatives.

“Huh-huh. Do you see that? If it’s not possible, then the High Synth family head will test your skills.”

“You’re not serious, are you? You want to use your strength against people who seem like they’ll die at the slightest gesture? They won’t be able to withstand a single blow.”

“Hmm. As expected, it seems that you are not trustworthy. If you can subdue the author in one shot as you said, I will give you anything you want from Hasting’s personal warehouse.”

If it’s a personal warehouse of a high-level manager… It’s overflowing with treasures that are even greater than most of the upper-level bosses.

“Okay. Those words. Be sure to take responsibility.”

Hysynth pulled out a bloody rapier.

Parts side!

Magic power was condensed and the Shepiltino family’s unique lightning skill flickered.

however.

“huh?”

An earthquake occurred in Hycinth’s pupils as he was about to activate the skill.

[Lv?? The activation of ‘Electronic Spear’ is canceled.]

Tsucheuk! Tsu… Chichik!

The bright flash of lightning slowly faded.

It’s not a lack of horsepower.

It wasn’t that there was anything else wrong with it.

As if something is blocking it.

Hysynth’s abilities were sealed.

“You… just…?”

It’s unbelievable.

Does this ability exist?

“Didn’t I tell you that? It will definitely work for that damn human.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hasting’s lips curled up.

“Nice to meet you. The great absolutes of the Tower. The beginning and end of the Round Table leading the Mine Association. It’s called ‘Nietzsche’.”

The old man bowed deeply for the first time.

Codename Arthur.

However, he is the only one among the executives who symbolize the Round Table who calls him by his first name rather than a code name.

‘Nihilism’.

A person who uses the power of nothingness.

Any unique abilities and skills around him lose their brilliance.

in short.

It means a person with the ability to block all variables at the source.

“The humans should be heading to the island to bite the bait I prepared by now. The two heads of families can escort this person. If Kang Jin-hyeok or Alice were to use only the power of their bodies with their abilities sealed, wouldn’t it be easier to kill than to twist a chicken’s neck?”

“It’s possible… enough.

” It’s pulling.”

The faces of Hysynth and Exension also showed a thick bloody expression.
