Chapter 363: Chapter 360

Episode 360. New weapon (5)

char char char char char….

The quicksand was quickly sucked down.

Naturally, the crown also disappeared from sight in an instant along with the sand.

“Damn it! Doing such a stupid thing! Are you out of your mind, you bastard!”

“Well. It was really a mistake. If you’re in a hurry, go inside and look for it.”

Awesome!

“I will remember this incident.”

Kizakiel immediately jumped into the pit.

I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I still couldn’t give up the crown like this.

You have to get your hands on it somehow.

I couldn’t wait to see the crown disappear again in a few years.

Quaang!

A huge halo of light traveled down the pit.

“Hmm.”

Seeing Kizakiel disappear from Jinhyeok, he smiled with satisfaction.

This removed one of the headaches.

Now, Gabriel will notice about this incident, so you don’t have to worry about getting stabbed in the back by a muscular angel, at least for today.

‘All that’s left now is to retrieve the crown…’

Of course, I don’t intend to throw away the top-tier relic obtained through life-and-death, just to chase away one Kizakiel.

The problem is…

that Kizakiel, as well as himself, cannot know where this quicksand will lead.

It would be impossible for even Hastings to grasp the exact flow of similarity.

but only one.

There was an existence that could perfectly read the flow of quicksand.

Jinhyeok’s gaze turned to the Havelian next to him.

“I’m sorry I disturbed the living room, but can I help you just once?”

“Kyao?”

Havelian tilted her head.

“The thing you threw down right now. I need it. Besides, the guy who tried to kill you is desperate to find it, so what? Do you want to seize the chance to give that fool a proper blow?”

“Kyao!”

Havelian stood up from his seat.

It vigorously waggled its tail from side to side as if to do so.

Something that could not have happened originally.

As expected, it was worth protecting even this guy using ‘Freedwen’.

For this very reason, I gave up the ‘Crown of Paedo’.

To catch two rabbits at once.

fault!

Havelian hopped toward the pit.

Kizakiel went in much earlier, but it was already decided who would laugh.

No matter how fast you fly, you won’t be able to get your hands on the crown before a Havellian who has a perfect understanding of the inside.

‘While I’m waiting, I’ll have to learn this perfectly.’

Jinhyeok focused on the long ice crystal in his hand.

Cold aura extends from the fingertips to the heart.

Because of the delicate control required, cold sweat ran down his forehead.

how long has it been like that?

[The crystal is fully formed!]

Parts!

The cold air flowing from the ‘Soul of Havelian’ was completely captured.

at the same time.

Tring!

[Floor 19 has been conquered!]

[Maximum contributor: Player Kang Jin-hyeok]

[You can choose one of 3 rewards for the first clearing.]

[You have achieved an amazing job.]

[This work is tomorrow’s day of honor . It will be listed in the Hall of Fame!]

1. Coins – You will receive 4 times more coins than previous rewards.

2. Special Item – One of the items that help you clear the 20th floor is given randomly.

3. Base Related – One of the items to reinforce existing bases or target new bases is given randomly.

There are three rewards to choose from.

“Hmm…”

Jinhyeok carefully checked the rewards.

first one first.

‘Quadrupling coins is definitely attractive.’

As long as the absolute value is guaranteed, you can use coins to purchase items or use them elsewhere.

Having a lot of basic bullets meant hitting average at least.

However, if you think about the other two….

The merit is less.

Jinhyeok looked at the second option.

On the 20th floor, the main focus is on quantity and occupation. It will be useful there….

This is also very helpful.

Considering Kizakiel and the rest of the forces, it was hard to give up the rewards that could strengthen the base.

“…”

This time the troubles got quite long.

Both have their own advantages, so future results will only tell you which one was the right choice.

And finally.

“I’ll choose the second one.”

Jinhyuk made a decision.

[Hidden reward will be given.]

[Time left until release 1D : 23H : 59M : 59S]

We will be able to confirm in two days.

Going to the 20th floor would be at least after that.

Right then.

“Kyaoooooo!”

The roar of the proud Havelian echoed in the pit.

Now that we’ve finished all our business here, it’s time to head back out.

＊＊＊

A day has passed since I came out of the tower.

Fatigue accumulated in the body and mind as much as he ran without hesitation.

Because of this, Jinhyeok thought of enjoying a long-awaited break.

The place I found was an escape room cafe located in Hongdae.

Elise’s eyes twinkled.

“Ohhhh! Is this a place that is so famous among humans?”

“Yeah. I heard that Yeonhwa and Taemin made a reservation for me. They said that I had to go with you unconditionally and asked for trust.”

“You seemed like a really thoughtful kid. It was the first time I’d ever met them personally, but we had a very satisfying conversation.”

“Oh, that’s right. I heard you two met yesterday, right?”

Did you suddenly say you had to go out at night?

I remember Alice rushing out of the hotel late at night.

“Yes, yes. They are just acquaintances of the contractor, and I also asked for some advice because I have a lot of questions in this era. Isn’t there something wrong with that?”

Alice hurriedly gave reasons.

“That’s right. Well, I told you to rest as much as you like, so you’re free to do whatever you want.”

“Hey.”

A small sigh of relief.

Elise’s mind was already flashing past the lengthy plan from yesterday.

-sister. Do you like Jinhyeok oppa?

Yoo Yeon-hwa threw a bomb-like remark with a smirk.

Of course, Alice immediately denied it, but in this field in the first place, she could not escape the eyes of the softening shoes that have worn out in modern times.

All day, family and honor. I knew how to hit and fight or tug-of-war with pride.

When it comes to love feelings, it was like a newbie among newbies.

-Don’t be like that. Listen to me. I’ll tell you how to break through that iron wall.

-that’s right. It’s better to use a more aggressive method to impress Jinhyeok hyung.

Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min.

The advice from the two followed.

The reasons for making a reservation for an escape room with the theme of ‘horror’ were listed in detail to see how to capture the other person’s heart.

And that offer.

It sounded pretty plausible to Alice.

-Pretend to be as scary as possible. Unnie is incredibly strong, so don’t break everything when ghosts come out for no reason.

-It’s classic, but originally, the basics are the most important. It’s because Alice noona doesn’t even seem to know these things.

Alice diligently wrote down all the details in a notepad.

okay.

The plan is perfect.

Unlike usual, he is armed with a weak and delicate image.

She has studied ornaments passed down from generation to generation in Ataraxia and even short-term tutoring through various popular channels on View Tube.

however.

I worked so hard to prepare!

“…”

A girl with blue hair was standing next to Jinhyeok.

It was a homunculus that I met at the Dune of the Sun, whether it was Fran or Nabal.

“What else is this guy?”

“Huh? Who are you? You know. Pre…”

“I know who I am too!”

Elise clenched her fists.

Silver hair stood up on end.

“Yeah, but why are you angry?”

“I thought I was spending time with you alone!”

ah. just the two of you?

Was that an important point?

Now I understand why Alice is angry.

However, the amount of ‘yokai shaved ice’ to be eaten later is a bit small for a group of people to share.

They said it was so delicious and limited to 50 bowls a day.

I can’t help but be greedy.

Nod.

Jinhyuk nodded as if he understood.

and in its appearance.

Quick.

A string in Alice’s head snapped.

“You fool!”

Elise’s fist crossed the air.

＊＊＊

[The Cabin Where the Moon Disappeared]

5-star difficulty level, and horror is also a 5-star theme.

There is a myth that if a man and a woman with a crush enter a room as scary as a horror movie and missions that require cooperation, they will definitely come true.

Because of this, Yoo Yeon-hwa strongly recommended this.

‘good. calm down. It’s not over yet.’

Elise caught her breath.

I’ve already learned all about the traps and hidden passages in this room.

It is not for nothing that I took the whole day yesterday and figured out the route in advance.

A gloomy room full of cobwebs.

Shiiik….

A bizarre sound penetrates the eardrum.

The atmosphere subsided coldly, as if a stranger with a saw would enter the cabin.

“Gye, contractor…”

Alice pulled Jinhyeok’s sleeve tightly with an awkward tone and expression.

“Jim… is scary. This place.”

The key points are the eyes that stimulate the protective instinct and the curled up body.

but.

“Don’t lie. If a whole colony of ogres come and you won’t even bat an eye, what are you afraid of? It looks like it’s going to crash.”

“hey.”

“huh…?”

“…do you want to die?”

Unexpected words came out.

After that, there were some important points, but there were no achievements worth mentioning.

On the contrary, I had to turn inside out several times because of Frey’s expressionless steps.

“No, Frey. That’s not how you do it. Now look at this. It means move the lock to the left three times.”

“Lock… three times. Yes. Got it.”

Jinhyeok stood next to Frey and informed him step by step.

Seeing the gentle touch of her hand, a thick sinew popped out of Alice’s forehead.

“I… I don’t know how to solve this either. Can I turn this to the left too?”

Elise whimpered and turned the round lock.

However, Jinhyeok didn’t listen to Alice’s request because he was explaining to Frey.

“Contractor! Jim isn’t asking!”

“Try turning it to the left, too. Or roughly do the opposite.”

“Left, three times left…”

“Fray. It’s a different kind of lock. No, the manager told me. Look. After unlocking it

first,

like

this

…

” You’re saying the same thing!”

At the same time.

Ugh!

Thick drops of blood gathered around Elise.

“Eh, Ellis? Are you crazy? Why are you like this all of a sudden? This is where you sang to say you wanted to come.”

“I don’t need anything. don’t need all Just.”

Magic beyond imagination engulfed the entire escape room cafe.

”

Die! You idiot!”

Kwaaaaaaagh!
