Episode 331. Taming Master (2)
The heart of the island.
Inside the cave full of stalactites, Exension and Hycinth could be seen.
âThey come in smoothly. Not knowing that this is a trap.â
The corners of Hycinthâs mouth twisted subtly as he gazed at the huge crystal ball placed in the center.
The more the opponent is mistaken, the more they are mistaken.
After that, the feeling of despair grows even more.
I was going crazy, wanting to see Jinhyeok and the rest of the humansâ faces contorted in pain.
âHow should I kill it to make it more thrilling? After all, it would be best to let them watch as they die without doing anything after struggling to save each other? No. Wouldnât it be better to just torture and kill slowly, starting with the fingertips?â
Hysynth felt his whole body heat up at the thought of being able to kill Elise with certainty this time.
but.
âEverything is too smooth.â
The Exension murmured as if it didnât like something.
It was what he wanted to lure Jinhyeok and Alice deeper. The problem is its speed.
âNo, itâs good if itâs going well. Why are you so anxious about useless things?â
âThe divine beast Syllian or the water dragons had to hold on to his ankles even more than now. I was planning to wait until Shub-Niguras manifested just in case, but if this happens, there is a risk that the foundation will be shaken.â
Even if they fail, there will be no variable as long as they hold out until the timing of the manifestation of Shub Nigurath.
The original plan was to design a perfect double-triple trap.
âI donât think it means that heâs rushing after calculating that, right? Thatâs delusion of grandeur.â
âYes. Maybe Iâm being overly cautious. But, remember, two patriarchs have already lost their lives for looking down on that human.â
ââ¦â
Hysynth kept her mouth shut at the Exensionâs words.
Thatâs what it says.
Amulam, who led the Decassus family, and Abigail, who led the Levisita family.
All of them were sure to die, so they set up a plan that they were confident in and confronted Jinhyeok.
However, all results were unsuccessful.
Only the remnants of the two families that disappeared after becoming ashes are hovering in the empty place. âDonât equate me with those idiots. In the first place, our family is on a different level. And this time, you, the one who destroyed Elise, came too. We The prepared troops are enough to wage war against the gods.â
It was when Hysynth clenched her fists.
that buck
âThis, it seems that the great family heads are worried.â
A new person has appeared in the cave.
An old man in a black robe.
It is Nietzsche, the head of the Mine Association.
âYou⦠arenât you the one who thinks heâs a demon?â
âI told you to look outside, did you forget your duty already? If it wasnât for Hastingâs request, we wouldnât have been togetherâ¦â Exension and Hysynth
frowned.
The demons were forced to be together, so they didnât even like being in one place.
but.
âPlease donât look at me like a thorn in the eye. Anyway, did I come here without qualifications to fit in?â
In Nietzscheâs words that continuedâ¦
âCurrently, the gods in the upper levels are moving to find the crowns. As you know, the crown is a key relic that balances the tower. Of course, vampires will need one of them too, right? It is the symbol of the âunique crownâ.â
ââ¦!?â
ââ¦!!â
The atmosphere changed in an instant.
I never thought the name of the treasure that all vampires are looking for most eagerly would pop up here.
âThe Crown of Purebloodâ.
It is the purest and most beautiful crown among the seven crowns called the Holy Grail containing the âblood of the beginningâ.
âYou bastard⦠how did youâ¦?â
âYou know you shouldnât know about human subjects.â
The complexion of the two families changed 180 degrees.
Killing spirits gushed out of his cold face.
âUghâ¦â
Melena, who was behind Nietzsche, couldnât stand the pressure and trembled like an aspen tree.
âWhoops. This old man has no intention of touching the evil of the vampire family. However, donât you guys need some help to get the pureblood crown?â
âHelp? What kind of help are you guys helping?â
âYou may feel that we humans are nothing but worms⦠but even worms have their own powers. Just like you know the existence of the crown and its name.â
The speed at which information is acquired.
If the demons had the only advantage over the residentsâ¦
it was that they were frighteningly tenacious in securing information about the tower.
Regardless of the means and methods.
ââ¦Tell me. How did you get that information? Did you hear it from those demons?â
âOh, no matter how easy it is, can we tell you our secret?â
but.
Slowlyâ¦
A dark purple sphere floated to the side of Nietzsche.
[Summon âBlacknessâ, the spirit of the forgotten element!]
Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Light.
It is common knowledge that a spirit tree must belong to one of the five elements.
However, the spirit beast that appeared before my eyes was a new spirit that did not belong to any of them.
Heterogeneous magical power of the dark attribute.
âYou⦠what the hell. What is your true identity?â
Even the Exension was genuinely surprised this time.
Following knowing the existence of the Crown.
It was because he never imagined that he would meet the 6th spirit beast whose existence was hidden in the tower tens of thousands of years ago.
âIf you arrange your relationship with Hastings, who only cares about the 50th floor, and instead make a deal with me, I will make sure that even the gods of the upper echelons donât attack you. Of course, even getting your hands on the crown.â
Nietzsche started making a new plate.

Jinhyeok covered the inside of the island in the shortest distance with the support of spirits.
âHeo-eok. Heo-eok. Hee-eok.â
âYou are too fast.â
âDid he even have infinite stamina?
The raiding party followed with all their might, but it was not enough to catch up with Jinhyeok.
Even Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min could barely miss Jin-hyeok.
The only person who could afford it was Chun Yu-seong.
âIâm running out of time, so Iâll go first. Donât overdo it and try to follow me. Stop the enemies coming from the rear.â
âUmâ¦we can still follow. If we want to be of some help, we canât give up hereâ¦â â
No.â
Chun Yuseong shook his head.
âYou are more of a burden than a help.â
Cool, but this is the reality.
There was a law that there was a wall that people could never cross.
Yoo Jin-ah also knew that, so she bit her lip.
ââ¦Okay. Weâll take care of the rear. Letâs go first.â
âItâs a smart idea.â
Chun Yoo-seong spurred on the speed even more.
How long has it been like that?
A huge gate appeared in front of the two who had reached the depths of the island before they knew it.
The size alone is about 20m.
Red sparks flickered incessantly.
âThe magic flowing from the inside of the gate is unusual. It seems to be at least a higher level labyrinth or ruins.â
Chun Youseong looked at the entrance to the gate.
At the gate decorated with various runes, I felt a sense of incongruity that I had never experienced before.
âYoosung.â
âWhat?â
âIâm sorry, but could you take a look around the gate and come back?â
âSuddenly go scouting? Am I alone?â
âThis gate⦠Iâve tried to clear it once before, but my memory is a little fuzzy. Go around the area and look for turquoise magic stones.â
âDamn it⦠I get it.
Chun Yuseong grumbled and left.
OK.
Left alone, Jinhyeok took a step toward the gate.
[Difficulty cannot be measured.]
[The passage leading to â????â is opened.]
[The number of players that can enter is 2.]
Uncertainty about where the difficulty will lead to the danger of not being measurable.
Because of this, Jinhyeok made an appropriate excuse to send Daecheon Yuseong away.
Heâll go berserk if you tell him that itâs dangerous not only with the raid, but with your skills.
A self-respecting idiot would do better not to speak directly, but to provide an appropriate excuse to escape, as now.
Whoa!
When I went inside, my vision went black.
And when I opened my eyes againâ¦
the scenery I saw had completely changed.
I canât believe thisâ¦
An earthquake occurred in Jinhyeokâs pupils.
I couldnât help but be surprised.
This temple⦠was something that should never have existed here.
-This is⦠my⦠last name.
Elise, who was in âThe Ring of Brahamâ, opened her mouth.
at the same time.
Elise came out of the ring as the magic power was injected.
âI miss you. I used to live hereâ¦â
The place where he announced his beginnings as the head of Ataraxia.
At the same time, it was also the final destination due to the betrayal of the family heads.
âDid the vampires play a joke? By recreating the place where you lived?â
âNo. This is not a fake. It should be seen as connecting the space itself.â
I donât know why he bothered to provoke Alice.
Whatâs certainâ¦
is that what they did worked.
A small spark rose in Eliseâs red pupil.
Regret and despairâ¦
â¦and beyond it all. I could feel the anger that had accumulated over the eons of time.
Right then.
âKurereuâ¦â
âKong! Kung! Kung! Kung!â
âGrrr.â
Behind Jinhyeok and Alice, a growl of the beast resounded.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
Spit dripping between sharp teeth.
A three-headed black dog looked at the intruder.
This is Cerberus, known as the watchdog of hell.
But what catches my eye more than that is the purple-haired female vampire next to Cerberus.
âHisâ¦s!â
Elise bared her fangs.
The head of the family who put a knife on himself.
The opportunity to take revenge on another of the culprits has arrived.
âItâs been a while. Ataraxiaâs kid. No, would you prefer to call me the former head of the family?â
âWhere is the Exencion?â
âAs expected, are you looking for that guy first as soon as you meet him?
âStop talking bullshit right now. Answer the question! Where is he now!â
âItâs nearby. Youâll see its face soon, even without so much urging.â
Hysynth smiled brightly.
Then, this time, his gaze turned to Jinhyeok.
âAre you that Kang Jin-hyeok person? You say youâre scattering all the ashes in our plans?â
âYeah. Itâs an honor. The head of the household remembers my name. But the fact that you guys have that puppy. Can I interpret it as holding hands with Greek idiots?â
ââ¦You talked too long. Letâs end the conversation. Kill me. Everything.â
âKrrrrâ¦!â
At Hysinthâs command, Cerberusâ mouth lit up with flames.
Roaring!
Tremendous heat arose.
The red flames that lost control ran wild
. Activates!]
Indeed, it deserves to be called the gatekeeper of the underworld.
The crow I dealt with earlier had its own status as a divine beast, but
Cerberus had a status on a completely different level.
âLetâs go, Elise.â
âYes.â
Alice nodded,
âThank you. At this moment. For being with me.â
The heartfelt words are conveyed.
At the same time.
[The unique voice âRevelation of Gaebyeokâ is released!]
Eliseâs appearance began to slowly change.
