Chapter 350: Chapter 347

Episode 347. Hidden Place on the 19th floor (1)

Jinhyeok stared into the eyes of the homunculus.

The blue eyes twinkled as if they would be sucked in.

Hmm…

No matter how much I think about it, there is only one name I can give it.

Jinhyuk’s mouth opened slowly.

“Frey.”

“Frey…?”

“Yes. I will call you Frey from now on.”

“Nice… that’s a name. I like it.”

Frey nodded slightly.

Seeing that I was mistaken for something special… I feel a little sorry.

Pray (pray: to pray)

It’s called a prayer meta.

It was named to commemorate a miracle that happened properly in the lucky game.

‘At first, I was going to call it mint choco, which is short for mint choco, but Frey would be better. It seems to be there.’

It’s fortunate that Frey also liked the name.

But just then

Whoa!

The ‘Ring of Braham’ on his right hand moved violently.

at the same time.

A different level of hot energy covered her entire body.

Could this reaction be…?

Roaring!

The one who appeared along with the flames was Alice with her eyes wide open.

“Ellis?”

“I… I… I! Silly contractor! Why did you pick up something like this again!”

Alice let out a scream that seemed like it would collapse the entire hotel at any moment.

It’s a sharp high frequency that makes your ears tingle.

“Did I do something wrong?”

Frey tilted her head.

“No, you didn’t do anything wrong. And Alice. Calm down and listen to me. No, put those skewers in. What the hell are you doing in the hallowed hotel?”

If Jinjo’s unique ability is activated here, the hotel will be reduced to dust.

It’s on the 9 o’clock news. Needless to say.

“Explain. Briefly. Summarize in three lines.”

Ellis managed to swallow the rage that erupted.

It’s obvious, but that’s what I’m referring to.

more than 3 lines. If we can’t convince them, we’ll destroy the Earth.

“Fray is always an assistant for combat. He’s also very good at it. Besides, since he’s a homunculus, he doesn’t have to absorb nutrients from food, so you don’t have to worry about your food intake decreasing.”

Jinhyeok gave an explanation like a quick-fire gun.

It’s a wonderfully coherent and objective summary.

but.

“My, did you think I was like this because of Bob? Seriously… did you only think of me that way?”

“Huh? Wasn’t it?”

Just looking at it, I thought he was the happiest when he had a lot of food in his cheek.

Wasn’t that why you actively stopped the new military family from coming?

Jinhyuk widened his eyes.

and in its appearance.

“You fool!”

Elise’s silver hair stood up on end.

This is unusual.

The depth of the magical power rising from the end of the abyss was unknown.

“Elise…?”

“die!”

Aaaaaang!

The entire hotel floor was engulfed in huge flames.

＊＊＊

The 19th floor of the Tower of Trials.

A few figures began to appear one by one in the spectacular waterfall.

“Time is like a knife.”

Jinhyeok waved his hand at the approaching man.

“Damn it. Why did you choose a place like this? Give me a map from the beginning. I’ve been wandering for hours.”

Chun Youseong grumbled and complained.

The wet stones are quite slippery.

On top of that, this place was so out of the way on the 19th floor that it wouldn’t have been easy to come here.

On the other hand.

“But thanks to Jinhyeok, I’ve been to all these places.”

Theresa looked around curiously.

Subtle water mist rising from the bottom of the waterfall and a beautiful rainbow.

There, the kind of dainty monsters I had never seen before were gathering in twos and threes and playing pranks.

If you simply look at the scenery, you might be mistaken for having visited a famous overseas tourist destination together.

“By the way, Mr. Jinhyeok. Who is the person next to you?”

Teresa pointed to the girl next to Jinhyeok.

with long blue hair. A figure holding a short spear.

It was a person I had never met before.

“Call me Frey.”

“The player… is not.”

“It’s not even a resident. The energy felt in the body is different. Is it a summoned beast… or a doll?”

One quick glance.

“That’s right. It’s a homunculus. It’s an existence created through alchemy. We met by chance while going upstairs.”

“I see… I was just playing around, wasn’t it?”

Chun Yuseong added a word, then nodded as if he understood.

“That’s why Mr. Ellis didn’t come out. I was wondering why I couldn’t see him. It was because of that reason.”

“Huh? That’s right. They told me to leave it alone for a while. But how did you know that?”

“Whoa. You look like a dull guy… Okay. I shouldn’t talk.”

Chun Youseong clicked his tongue as if he was getting more fed up with it.

It was a time when they were asking each other how they were doing and having small talk.

multiple. multiple.

The sound of horse hooves began to echo in the distance.

is it finally coming

Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.

The others turned their heads in the direction of the sound.

After a while, a familiar figure appeared through the trees.

four legs.

The upper body is a woman. And a resident whose lower body is in the shape of a deer.

It is the ‘infancy’ of the dryad race.

I had already met her once at a masquerade ball. For this raid, I specifically asked them to contact me separately.

This is because the ruins on the 19th floor cannot even be entered without permission from residents belonging to the 3rd power.

“Nice to meet you. Player Kang Jin-hyeok. And the rest of you, it’s been a while.”

Uasis smiled brightly.

“Thank you for taking the time. I didn’t know if I would have to give up the raid itself if I said no.”

“No. We had to investigate this place recently, and the timing was just right.”

Investigation?

this place?

“Is something… something wrong?”

When Jinhyeok asked cautiously, Uasis’s face darkened slightly.

“Do you remember when a huge wave of magical energy was generated throughout the tower not too long ago?”

If it’s magic that encompasses the entire tower…

the 50th floor.

This is the story of Shub Nigurath and the Black Goats when they burst out downstairs.

“I know.”

“At that time, something also changed in this ruin. It must be because it was influenced by a very different magical power.”

Uasis gazed over the waterfall with a complicated face.

As a player, she couldn’t feel it, but as she belonged to the third power, she seemed to feel the discomfort.

“Let’s go in. I’ll be able to guide you through the middle.”

Uasis walked towards the waterfall.

Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah!

A black cave can be seen between the pouring streams.

This is the entrance to the ruins.

step.

To enter it, certain conditions must be met.

‘I tried to go in without thinking in the past and died several times.’

Uasis picked up a stone and threw it into the cave.

OK.

Kaga gaga… kaga gak!

Traces of a centipede began to appear on the surface of the stone.

“If you just try to go in, this happens. Thanks to that, I was able to avoid interference from the outside.”

“So, how do I get in safely?”

“please wait for a moment.”

Parts!

Uasis injected magical power into a staff made from vines.

Rune words appeared following the blue magic. The tangible magical energy rotated gently along the entrance of the cave.

right at that moment.

[The 10-star barrier ‘Water Seal’ is released!]

[SS-class curse ‘Vortex of Destruction’ is lifted!]

[Optical illusion and hallucination effects disappear.]

Status windows that appear one after another.

The obstacles surrounding the entrance to the cave disappeared all at once.

also.

For this reason, the existence of Uasis is essential to attacking this ruin.

I don’t know how the inside has changed because of Shub Niguras…

but you will be able to check the inside story soon.

With Uasis as the lead, everyone entered the ruins.

like that.

Darkness swallowed my vision.

＊＊＊

Hot.

A hot blast hit the skin.

“Kuk!”

“here is…?”

Chun Yoo-sung and Teresa covered their faces with both hands.

Even if I stay still, I feel like my breath is choking and my whole body is burning.

Desert… No, it’s a hotter and drier place than that.

“…”

Only Frey was looking around with an expressionless face.

“It’s an environment that can be a bit difficult for players. The temperature rises to 70 degrees during the day and drops to -100 degrees at night. You can protect your body to some extent with magic power, but you have to arrange it properly.”

I guess so.

You should be here for at least a week or more.

Mana and stamina management are essential virtues.

But that was just then.

“There is something.”

Frey, who had been looking around, opened her mouth.

Slowly half the tempo, Chun Yu-seong also sensed the presence.

“In the sand. There are about 10 of them. Are they predators that live here?”

“Sandworms. If you see them living near the entrance, they’ve been pushed out of the food chain, so don’t worry too much. They’ll bounce exactly three seconds after you feel the vibration under your feet, so let’s aim for that time together.”

“Player Jin-Hyuk Kang… How do you know all that?”

As Jinhyeok explained fluently, Uasis widened her eyes.

“I had attacked a dungeon with a similar environment at the bottom of the tower.”

“Ah… But with that place and here…”

“Come!”

The sand stirred violently with Teresa’s cry.

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

1 second 2 seconds… 3 seconds.

“Koooooo!”

“Keeeee!”

A gigantic mouth was revealed in the cracks in the sand left and right.

A sandworm with hundreds of teeth tried to swallow the party whole.

but.

In the first place, they chose the wrong prey.

[Trait ‘Sword Song’ is activated!]

Awesome!

Sandworm’s body was cut to pieces.

“You’ve been climbing from the start. This is why following you is just exhausting.

” Chun Yoo

– seong swung his sword lightly, and

the green bodily fluid on the blade splattered

.

It was with the intention of covering it and attacking in between.

Of course.

[Trait ability ‘Blessing of the Stars’ is activated!]

That attempt also went to nothing.

Ughhhh!

Light falling from the sky.

Holy inherent ability picks up the sandworms alive. I swallowed it.

Chee-i-i-ik!

Without even time to scream, the bodies of the sandworms turned to ashes and disappeared.

“I don’t think there’s any time to get bored on a trip to the desert.” No

matter what they say, they are reliable companions.

The monsters living here are far superior to other places. Because he was strong.

Maybe…

with this member, he could go deep into the ruins.

Some places will be tough, but if you prepare properly, there is a good

chance .

The crown that was gone is probably somewhere here…”

Attacking the ruins was important, but the top priority was to retrieve the crown.

Finally, the time has come to obtain one of the most important relics in the Tower of Trials.
