Episode 389. Two teachers, two disciples (2)
Dalpo.
Outside, it was only about 5 hours, but inside the imaginary space, a month had passed.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Dozens of swords floating along the sky.
Ink-colored weapons made of the Heavenly Demon Heart Sword rushed in a row.
[The Heavenly Demon activates the Heavenly Demonâs Divine Gong, âDestroy Heavenâ!]
Itâs like a meteor shower falling in the night sky.
The swords descending on a straight trajectory created a spectacle by themselves.
Right then.
Red swords rose from the ground.
Compared to the Heavenly Demon, the swordâs power and number were lacking, but it didnât lose the slightest in terms of momentum.
Iggy swords of different colors.
Only when they enter the realm of the world can they take shape. The known strongest swords rushed towards a single point, erasing each otherâs tracks.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Wow!
Sword and sword collided.
Shattered fragments scattered through the air, and sparks lit up the dark night quietly.
Took.
The Heavenly Demon descended from the sky and nodded as if satisfied.
âTo be on par with the Heavenly Demon Spirit Sword with 5-star power. At this level, you can follow me right now.â
It is a word of sincere admiration.
No matter how hard he pushed himself to the limit, he never thought that he would acquire the Heavenly Demon Art so quickly.
In fact, even he, who was called the Cheonmujiche, took more than ten years to reach the 5th star
â¦
However, the disciple in front of him seemed to have no intention of dwelling on that.
I will go up without being bound to one floor or to any power.
To a place no one has ever been to.
âItâs all thanks to the Heavenly Demonâs guidance. Itâs because I didnât say anything, it feels like 100 lives are gone.â
There is no place where the arms and legs are not sore.
I had to check the neck 3 times to make sure it was properly attached.
âWe got along a little wildly, but it was a good time nonetheless.â
âMe too. Probably, I donât think Iâll ever be able to spend my time this intensely.â
This is true.
Iâve done all sorts of crazy things in the Tower of Trials up until now.
By far, the month Iâve spent now seems to have been the busiest.
âIf this is enoughâ¦â¦Itâs a performance that exceeds expectations.â
Does it feel like your whole body is itching to see how strong you have already become?
Jinhyeok felt the magic quietly swirling inside his body.
âYes. You have become stronger and stronger. To the extent that most criminals do not dare to look at you. And raw meat in the world is also strong enough to look up to you. You have become stronger.â
but.
âArenât you afraid? The fact that there are enemies that canât be defeated even if you become this strong.â
The Heavenly Demonâs voice became strangely complex.
I know very well why.
Shub Nigurath.
A transcendent being who drove the Heavenly Demon to near death by merely manifesting.
If you go to the top of the tower, you will encounter monsters beyond common sense.
The Heavenly Demon asked if that would be okay.
âIâm afraidâ¦â¦â
Well, there was a time like that.
There was a time when I was trembling and unable to move in front of an enemy that transcended common sense.
but.
Not anymore. Those newbie days are long gone.
Besides, no matter how much it became a reality rather than a virtual game, that experience and sense did not disappear.
A faint smile appeared on Jinhyukâs face.
ââ¦â¦You asked something wrong.â
Seeing that smile, the Heavenly Demon was convinced.
Even if he faces any kind of monster, Jinhyeok will never feel fear.
Thatâs it.
Any further questions and answers are meaningless. âItâs already time. Come to Moorim anytime when youâre tired
and having a hard time. Iâm anxiously waiting for the law of friendship, so Iâm looking forward to the day we meet again. The Heavenly Demon said goodbye softly.
ï¼ï¼ï¼
Pachichik
!
As he lost, Jinhyeok came out.
âWhoaâ¦â¦.â
The damp and humid air inside the labyrinth was sucked deep into his lungs.
Is it because he risked his life in there to fight?
Even the gloomy atmosphere of the labyrinth felt welcome.
â Were you training in the barrier?â
The first one who greeted you was Cheon Yoo-seong.
Judging from the fact that the Yogi on the tip of Ryu Hwaâs sword had grown several times thicker, it seems that he had grown a few more steps in between.
âYes. Well, I did a bit of this. Anyway, itâs nice to see our swordsman after a long time. How have you been while Iâm gone?â
âItâs like I havenât seen you in years, even though Iâve only seen you in a few hours⦠Damn it. donât be shy Itâs disgusting.â
âAnyway, what kind of person are you so cold all the time? I canât give it to you. Uh-huh.â
âDonât talk nonsense, if you only clear the labyrinth this time, hang on and wait. Youâd be surprised to find out how strong Iâve become in this short amount of time.â
Chun Yu-seong declared war with a confident face. Heâs
rarely had one-on-ones lately, so he scolded him more, and he seems to have regained his spirits.
âOh⦠be scared Anyway, if the Sword Saint is serious, my life will be the life of a fly.â
âDamn it. done. Iâll practice more, so call me when itâs time to go to the boss.â
âYeah yeah. Take a look.â
Jinhyeok
passed it in one ear and turned to the eagle owl this time
. But
.
â
Even if youâre an operator, you have to pay the price if you use this level of ability. Donât worry too much. Because this is what I chose.â
My body is crumbling into powder.
Thanks to the use of the imaginary space, I took away my own life with that penalty.
Passeuk.
The powder scattered along the shoulder blades.
Even the aftermath is at this moment. ââ¦â¦How many minutes are left?â
â
About 5 minutes. If I donât hurry back, it wonât end with losing my right arm.â Is
it possible to dieâ¦
âItâs a pity that I didnât see the end of the labyrinth, but I fully confirmed the possibility. Reallyâ¦â¦youâve changed beyond recognition.â
The eagle owl looked at Jinhyeok from the front.
It was covered by the mask, so I couldnât see the face inside, but I could see what kind of gaze it was.
âIf itâs you, we can make what we want come true . . You will be able to achieve your goals as well.â
âYes, I look forward to the day we meet again at the top of the tower. When that time comes, take off your mask and letâs talk. Donât talk while hiding your true identity.â
âOf course.â
The Eagle Owl nodded.
With this, there is another reason to see the top of the
tower .
I spurred on the speed. I already had the
resistance
stone and finished the training, so there was no reason to hesitate
.
Large monsters resembling moray eels popped out along the dark passage like an ant burrow.
Of course, the idea of chewing up prey with sharp teeth did not last long. Ryuhwa
,
tinged with green light, cut off the moray eelsâ whole heads. It was too short a period to perfectly master the left-handed sword. However, as if the word
â talented manâ is not
for
nothing, Chun Yoo-seong was already showing a high level of water
. How are you? This is my sword.â
âAgain. be careless again Donât put strength on your shoulders just because you caught them one hundred days, focus. Itâs real from now on.â
Jinhyeok pointed to the front of the habitat of the moray eels.
Different patterns engraved along the floor. It was a bridge with
layers of
magic and barriers spread out
. okay. The number of traps alone exceeded double digits. Iâve prepared for the toughest stuff with resistance stones, but donât take it lightly. look. Like this.â At the same time as
Jinhyeok
âs right foot moved.
Kukukukukung!
Kwakwakwakwa! A
fireball fell from the sky.
[The fire resistance stone absorbs the flame!]
Chiiik!
I wonder if red flames are rising around Jinhyeok. Soon, he absorbed all the lightning that fell from the sky.
But at the same time
, different types of traps were activated from all sides at the same time.
Even
poison dart crossbow arrows.
Kakakakang!
The trap
was
not over. Hearing the sound of the metal being engaged, this time an arm holding a huge sword rose from under the bridge
. It was a terrifying blow that made it seem as if his entire leg would be severed.
However ,
Jinhyeok
took a step back this time to avoid the attack.
A large wall of blades was created right in front of his nose.
âWell, roughly like this . hey The further you go, the more diverse it will become.
â But, as you say, itâs annoying. If you recklessly waste your magic here, youâll have a hard time with the boss.â
âThatâs right. So we have to find a way to break through the trap while preserving our mana.â
âDid you think of something?â
âYes .â
Jinhyeok smiled strangely
.
I âve been experiencing with my own body what happens when you
smile
like this
. No matter how much I do, Iâm not that good.â In
fact, I was going to do that.
Even if I hadnât mastered the left hand sword, I was going to use it as bait and use it as a guinea pig for the labyrinthâ¦
but it was really disappointing.
Itâs that I have a truckload of friends to give to
. Iâll give you the first mission.â
Uuuuuu!
The subspace inventory opened and small-sized Salamanders came pouring in through the cracks.
âDid you call, master
? â
?
_
_
_ Hey⦠can you see the end of the bridge over there?
âI see. Master.â
âGo over there.â
âHuh? Over there? Why?â
Salamanderâs eyes widened.
âItâs nothing special. You just have to go. My legs are a bit bad⦠Just do that and Iâll send you right back to the subspace with a warm campfire.â
âMoâ¦Dark fire?â
âItâs a bonfire from the red logs on the eighth floor. Itâs just a rice thief.â
It is the best special dish for the Salamanders, who are famous for their fragrant and high-purity fire.
Gulp!
You can hear the sound of saliva running down your throat.
âAh, I understand. Go right away. master. Keep your promise, be sure!â
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
â
do
â
do .
It didnât take long to get there. The Salamander
flew into the air and became a star in the sky.
âHmm, did you dismantle the 5 traps?
â
âs gaze turned to the rest of the Spirit Beasts.
âThe next applicant.â
