Episode 487. The only hope âNeknomiconâ (2)
Do-ok⦠Do-ok. Again.
Water droplets fell irregularly.
This is the 50th floor of the tower.
It is one of the most secret places among them.
Nyarlathotep walked through a cave full of stalactites.
âSheeshâ¦â
The wound on her shoulder was still throbbing.
His recovery was slow because he was forced to descend to the bottom of the tower and received various restrictions.
How long did it take?
At the end of the stalactites, a room filled with rainbow colors appeared.
And in the middle of it stood a man hidden in a black shadow.
âHmm? You see this often. Werenât we supposed to not touch each other for a while?â
âStill, I thought I should tell you how I handled things.â
âTsk tsk. Looking at it, it doesnât look very good.â
The man grew up.
âIt was on purpose. I had to make him believe that things were going according to his plan.â
It wasnât about winning or losing this time.
The man asked for only one thing.
Alice.
Because it was her life.
âIt seems to be strong like the Jinjo who led Ataraxia.â
The integrity of the unique voice lance. There was nothing left out of the efficiency and aggression of magic.
âbut. A fatal weakness has been discovered. Perhaps it will bring down not only Elise, but the entire Corpus of the Dead.â
Nyarlathotep shrugged.
âHoo. thatâs kind of interesting What is it?â
âjealousy.â
The ugliest and most fundamental emotion that can be called original sin.
Nyarlathotep observed Aliceâs strong desire for Jinhyeok and the deficiency that comes from not being met.
âNot only Alice, but also the people around her. As a result of my own investigation, I am certain.â
Heavenly Theresa. Yoo Yeon-hwa Lee Tae-min.
Everyone wanted to be acknowledged by Jinhyeok and wanted to be with them.
Whether it is expressed in a twisted way or concentrated in an overly exaggerated way.
Strong jealousy and longing were thickly permeated in each way.
âHmm. Attack that part?â
âArenât there guys in charge of the seven deadly sins just in time? If my side offers an appropriate reward, it will come over. furthermore. In order to increase the jealousy even more, I plan to sprinkle bait that the old man of Rosenberg cannot refuse.â
âHey, thatâs interesting. What kind of bait is it?â
âLetâs watch it calmly. Itâs no fun knowing everything in advance. Just know that it destroys the enemy from within.â
After listening to Nyarlathotepâs explanation, the man stroked his chin with his finger.
âTake it down from the insideâ¦â
Certainlyâ¦
itâs the easiest thing to do without the primeval beings directly intervening.
The operators, including the eagle owl, are already looking for an opportunity to steal.
If you move too much and get restricted by the system, that will lead to troublesome situations.
The worry didnât last long.
The man slowly moved towards Nyarlathotepâs location.
âA real head rolls well. Hastings is also trying to move in earnest. Kang Jin-hyeok looks so sweaty.â
âIs that stupid guy never getting tired of it and taking on challenges again?â
âNo. You prepared quite well this time. Do you remember? You worked with those dragons, Tamia and Exension, to find the ancient dragonâs bones?â
âYouâve found a way to weaponize it?â
âIt looks like that.â
A Destruction Dragon, one of the
most famous among ancient dragons
.
A smile crept across the manâs lips:
âPlease, entertain me. Please give me an impetus to this dull, boring life.â
Just like a child right before going to an amusement park.
Pounding! Pounding! Pounding!
My heart, which had not been beating for a long time due to excitement and anticipation, started beating fast.
â â â
The warm morning sunlight penetrated the window.
âUmm!â
Jinhyeok stretched while breathing in the fresh air.
As expected, morning in a European suburb with good air feels like healing by itself.
Even more so after handling all the big things. Itâs
about a week after work at the Vatican . Meanwhile, Jinhyeok and the members of the Goinmul Corporation were having a proper vacation here
.
Jinhyeok walked around the mansion while savoring freshly brewed coffee.
The lush forest, beautiful gardens, and even the lake that seemed like something you would only see in a movie.
The scenes of birds flying and deer playing made you realize that this place really belonged to the Rosenberg family. âLooks like the other kids are still sleepingâ¦â
Jinhyeok took another sip of coffee.
The
only thing that bothered him was how to approach Odin. Although
he helped in his own way, in the end he was able to protect Yggdrasil. Failed to give it.
From Odinâs point of view, there was no reason to favor this side
. In other words
,
it was necessary to come up with a proposal that could surpass all of them.
Several candidates came to mind, but
none of them could be obtained in a short period of time.
But at that moment,
a familiar middle-aged man appeared
.
Dustin de Rosenberg,
the head of the Rosenberg family and Teresaâs father.
âThanks to you, I rested very comfortably. The house is really nice.â
âIâm glad you like it. You can live here for the rest of your life, but itâs great as a newlywedsâ house. Ha ha ha.â
Itâs not easy to come in like a smirk.
However, Jinhyeok smiled softly and politely declined the offer.
âHmmmm. Well, if youâre as good as Kang Jinhyuk, this mansion might not be noticed. Instead, our Teresa has a good heart and cooks well. He has a deep faith. I canât say it with my mouth, but his looks donât fall out anywhere.â
I donât know who is not a daughter fool.
I can feel the paternal love for her youngest daughter.
Well, Teresa is worthy of many men around the world risking their lives to court.
Among the players who climb the Tower of Trials, in the popular vote, she always ranks in the top 5. Above all ,
being able to back the Rosenberg family, which has as much wealth and honor as an international conglomerate, was a fraudulent
condition .
Jinhyeok shuddered.
The cold air running down his spine.
It was much colder than when he faced Nyarlathotep or Shubniguras. It
was chilling .
Cold sweat ran down Jinhyeokâs back.
Far away in the hallway At the end â¦.
I found a pair of red eyes looking at this side.
Oh oh
â¦!
I could see cracks in the wall I was holding on to,
and the whole building might collapse if
I wasnât careful.
ââ¦A really nice person, but right now I wanted to tell you that climbing the tower is the most important thing for the future of mankind.â
ââ¦! Indeedâ¦â
Dustin blurted out in shock,
âThatâs right. I almost stopped taking care of myself.â
Iâm going to give up with this.
I want you to know that thanks to this, you saved not only this mansion, but also your own life.
From the enraged Jinzo.
By the way
.
Dustin handed over a picture,
âHow did youâ¦?â
Jinhyeokâs eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
The object in the picture was of a kind
that completely exceeded expectations.
Dustin lifted his shoulders.
[David âThe Coronation of Napoleonâ]
Difficulty to obtain: SS
Description: The coronation of an emperor that was splendid and grand. (The time limit is 3 minutes and the cooldown is 1 month. However, the item may be destroyed if the power exceeds the allowable value of this item.) Older people, sickness or serious
injuries
. Whether wearing it or not.
If you use this picture, you will be able to maintain your best condition.
Even though it is only 3 minutes, it means that you can demonstrate the highest efficiency.
âIf I use it⦠I will be able to fully demonstrate my ability when I climbed to the top of the tower.â Is it?â
Although the item is subject to the condition of being destroyed, it still has great value just once. Besides,
this item has more than one merit.
Strengthen.
If you ask Blacksmith Orun, you can upgrade this painting.
âThe chances of success are slim, but old man Orun is worth a gamble.â
Itâs worth the risk.
It was inevitable.
The enhanced Coronation of Napoleon had a fraudulent ability comparable to âGapâ.
[âPartial regressionâ is possible when strengthened.]
Not just simply recreating a personâs heyday⦠but also making it possible to recreate the golden age of an era, the
heyday of Northern Europe where Yggdrasil was growing firmly
. But how did you get it?â
âIn the Titan Guild, while attacking the large labyrinth on the 22nd floor, I obtained it on my own by accident. Fortunately, the engineering chief there owed me a lot. Of course, even taking that into account, I paid a huge price. â
If it is a labyrinth on the 22nd floor⦠it is said that it was obtained from the âBattlefield of the Kingâ⦠It
is an atrocious probability, but it does not make sense at all
. âWhat do I have to do to get this?
â
âHmmmm.â
Dustin coughed as Jinhyeok took the bait.
It was a bonus that he looked like he had finally caught it.
âTomorrow night, we are going to hold a Rosenberg-style engagement ceremony. The invited groom candidates gather to find Teresa somewhere in this mansion.â .The winner gets everything from the Rosenberg family as well as Teresa.â
ââ¦engagementâ¦ceremony?â
âThatâs right. I can tell you the location of Teresa in advance if you want, player Kang Jin-hyeok. Hahaha.â
âHaaâ¦â
Jinhyeok let out a deep sigh.
To get the item, you have to find Teresa.
But if you do that, you will naturally get married.
The biggest problem is Queen Jinjo, who is listening to all of this from behind. Alice, who now exudes a will to destroy the world beyond anger, was releasing her mana continuously.
Kuku kuk kuk kuku!
The entire mansion vibrated violently.
âWhat is it? Is it an earthquake? Be careful
. Player Kang Jin-hyuk.â
Dustin covered his head with both hands.
âThis is a place where there are no earthquakes at allâ¦â
âThis is my first time too.â
The managers who manage the mansion also tilted their heads.
Thisâ¦how come the atmosphere is unusual.
In the worst case, it occurred to me that even if I got my hands on Napoleonâs coronation, I might lose my life.
