Episode 506. Original Sin of Jealousy & Worst Compatibility (1)
[Seven Deadly Sins âJealousyâ â Benetti]
He is in charge of the most basic and deep-rooted sin among original sins, as much as the status window stained red.
âAre you a contractor?â
Eliseâs eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
My hands trembled because I couldnât control my anger.
It wasnât because the original sin of jealousy in front of me was so alluring.
It was because there was someone who should never have been by her side.
âWhoa, whoa. I met Lee Rang a little while ago, but they got along well. They said they fell in love with me at first sight or something?â
Venettiâs white fingertips brushed Jinhyukâs cheeks.
From the cheeks to the nape of the neck and to the sternum.
Jinhyeok quietly accepted the hand without moving a word.
Itâs like saying something like this is so natural.
Quick!
A thick sinew sprouted from Aliceâs forehead.
The pupil was thinly segmented vertically.
âYou⦠You⦠You you you! Mi, are you crazy? Are you really crazy!!!â
The heaviness of the life that spewed out in an instant was like being in the depths of the sea.
The endless fresh blood gushed out in waves.
Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Even when the head of household was taken away by Exension, he wasnât so angry.
No, Iâve never been so angry in my life.
Futility, as if half of his soul had been cut out intact, and jealousy, as if consuming it all, surged alternately.
âWait a minute!â
âMr. Ellis. Be sincere! There is still no guarantee that that person is Mr. Jinhyeokâ¦â
Chun Yoo-seong and Teresa tried to dissuade him, but Ellis already had no reason left to make a difference.
I donât know anything else, but I couldnât apply common sense in this area.
kill.
who?
A fox who dared to seduce its contractor was sentenced to death.
And Jin-hyeok, who fell for the trick, is also sentenced to death.
No, if you kill it, you will never see it again, so beat it until just before you die, then resurrect it and then beat it.
Then he thought of sucking all the blood from his body.
Over and over again, every time you beg for help.
Parts!
The bloody river flowed from the rapier made of platinum.
âDie!â
Elise roared and flew up.
at the same time.
âItâs also simple.â
A grim smile formed on Venettiâs dimples.
[Venetti is Lv?? Activate âTarget Lockâ!]
A very thin black chain appeared in Aliceâs eyes.
Target fixation is a power that can only be applied to one target.
You lose the slightest interest in other enemies around you.
There was a condition that jealousy must be above a certain level, but once activated, it would have an effect close to fraud.
Ellis has completely fallen for Venettiâs trick.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Jinhyeokâs clone body and Alice collided head-on.
Venetti put a sharp, single-edged blood clot on his finger.
âShall we play with it soon?â
Even if you openly attack, Aliceâs gaze will only stick to Jinhyeok.
Now it really just needs to add enough effort to make it a piece of cake.
* * *
âHow are you?â
A white-haired man giggled at the screen that appeared in the air.
There, a guy who looks just like him, Ellis, and Venetti, the original sin of jealousy, were in the middle of a bloody battle together.
âHey⦠Mrâ¦.â
Jinhyeok failed to control the swearing that came out of him.
I donât know anything else, but if I touch Alice, I canât handle it.
In particular, I couldnât even imagine what the aftermath would be if I was playing a prank like this.
âKuh-kuh-kuh. I guess youâre a little worried now? Thatâs why I said it. Itâs going to be fun.â
âHaaâ¦â
My head is pounding already.
What should I do to clear up this misunderstanding?
âWe just need to get Andrea back safely. Looking at it, it looks like you guys are targeting me, not the psychiatric ward. If you have something to say, tell me directly. Donât arrest the children.â
âHmm. Well, itâs not like that.â
The man nodded.
Organizing a raid with stinky humans for no reason.
Why did they choose the 5th floor, which is only a bite away, as their stage?
All of them were build-ups to catch the big fish called Jinhyeok.
âI donât know anything else, but I really wanted to have a conversation with you. I thought I was dying because I was holding back until now. Ah⦠I shouldnât say this originally, but I donât know. Iâm not the type to listen to anyone. And this side is much more It will be more fun.â
The manâs fingers pointed into the air.
Parts Tsutsu!
When âGlacier Skyâ was activated, the air froze and a stroke made of ice was drawn.
As the letters continued, an earthquake occurred in Jinhyeokâs pupils.
No wayâ¦
no it canât be.
It doesnât make sense that the name comes from here.
However, the finished letters were so familiar and nostalgic.
âThe Coffin Songâ.
It was one of the viewers who had been with me in the early days of broadcasting.
It felt like being hit in the head with a hammer.
Itâs tingling⦠Itâs not enough to describe it in words.
âHow are you⦠how? No, more than that⦠why are you attacking me?â
Long, long BJ life.
It was a series of days struggling at the bottom and just trying to survive.
In other words, it was a life of poverty, unable to pay the rent properly and skipping meals as if eating a meal.
The only driving force that made it endure was a small number of viewers.
Those who are grateful for being with us and supporting the broadcast under any circumstances.
Although I later learned that their favor was related to the Tower of Trials, the feeling of gratitude did not disappear.
however.
One of them would rather appear as an enemy.
Jinhyukâs face turned cold.
The fact that the man in front of me is one of the viewers⦠means that he is related to the innermost veil of this tower.
One of the so-called operators is the coffin song.
âNo, Iâve been curious about his identity since a while ago, so I told him about it, and itâs so cold. Have you already forgotten the memories of our Jinhyeok eating cows and eating in the barn?â
âMemories are memories. If you hadnât hit me in the back of the head, Maringya.â
âDonât look at it too badly. I also want to get along with our Jinhyeok. This is real. Or did I put so much effort into this?â
âStop teasing your tongue and tell me your purpose.â
âEagle owl.â
Another unusual name came out of the mouth of the coffin song.
flinch
Jinhyukâs eyes trembled slightly.
only for a very short time
It soon changed to an innocent look, as if he didnât know what he was talking about.
âDonât be clumsy in denying it. I know you two met. Besides, Iâm not trying to say anything about it. Rather, Iâm more of trying to help you not fall for that foolâs tricks.â
âFrom my point of view, you seem to be on the more stupid side⦠but Iâll listen and see. Tell me. Why do I have to join hands with you guys?â
âThe Eagle Owlâs ultimate goal is to recapture the top of the tower. Just as you saw the top of the tower in the past, now that it has become a reality, we are looking for people who are likely to climb once again. Of course you are the first candidate.â
The coffin fell silent.
A subject that is never light.
âBut is that really wise?â
âAre you saying that climbing the tower is wrong?â
âThe Tower already forms a perfect ecosystem. Although each faction is fighting over power, thatâs a trivial matter if you look at the whole thing.â
Even if some powers perish, their place is to be filled by new forces and rankers.
It is a story of balance while repeating extinction and birth.
and.
Naturally, the predators reigning at its apex had no reason to risk the entire pyramid collapsing.
Itâs a natural story.
Because now is so satisfying and sweet.
âCome with us. Then, we will free you from the fear of the continuation of the human race. From now on, you wonât have to wrestle with other deities or boss monsters to clear the stairs. it will be.â
An attractive offer followed.
Guaranteed survival and great glory.
Above all, a blank check to grant him anything he wanted was a difficult condition to refuse.
âOf course, I donât mind if you refuse. If you can.â
The coffinâs gaze glanced at the screen floating in the air.
Alice, who had been hit by Venettiâs ability, was engulfed in a madness that was thicker than ever.
furthermore.
Swoop.
A frozen statue appeared at the gesture of the coffin.
A nine-tailed nine-tailed fox trapped in a giant ice.
As if he was trying to protect his territory until the end, he summoned a number of fox fires.
Even though it was completely frozen.
âAndriaâ¦â
Jinhyeok bit his lip.
Words are recommended.
In fact, it is like putting all the shackles on your hands and feet and threatening them.
To be precise, he was shaking a carrot and a stick that he could never refuse at the same time.
Now all that remains is to choose one of the two options.
âIâ¦â
Jinhyuk opened his mouth heavily.
* * *
[Lv??? âThought collapseâ is activated!]
Everything you can see, feel, and touch collapses.
Purple floats soared up into the sky in reverse, revealing a world where gravity and laws disappeared.
Right then.
[Lv??? âTime of eternityâ is activated!]
Everything that had collapsed stopped as it was.
As if time itself had stopped.
Even the endless sunlight adorned a piece of eternity.
âItâs quite good. Iâve felt it for a long time, but that leech-like tenacity is amazing.â
The man in the shadows clapped his hands.
âItâs an honor to hear you say that. Iâm tired of it too, but what should I do?â
The eagle owl gathered magic in both hands.
A confrontation between absolutes far beyond common sense.
But that fight was soon over.
âYou know better than anyone that this is an unwinnable fight, right? Stop being stubborn and get comfortable.â
A battle that has already been fought hundreds of times.
As time passed, the weight of the scale tipped to one side.
That too, very abruptly.
âMany of those who were already on your side have attached themselves to me. Itâs because Iâve realized what the gains are and what an absurd delusion your dreams are.â
Itâs not too long now.
All operators who were active behind the tower would either turn their backs or die.
Only those who make the right choices will survive.
however.
âNot yet⦠not yet.â
The eagle owl did not give up.
It was because there was a string of hope that could be trusted and waited even in the worst situation.
âDo you really believe in that person?â
âOf course.â
âSorry, eagle owl. There will be no future you wish for. One of our friends has already approached Kang Jin-
hyeok
. â A coffin friend who was your colleague in the past has moved. Besides, the troublesome Elise has the Seven Deadly
Sins , so even the last variable will disappear.â A white light flickered at the manâs fingertips.
A demonic flash that
pierced everything
.
!
The purple energy gathered and soon took the form of a sword.
âThe Kang Jin-hyeok I know isâ¦â
From the first floor of the tower
to the top of the tower.
If you are a deceased person who watched all that time from the side.
âAbsolute Climbing I will not give up.â
Because he knows the tower better than anyone else.
And because he has a stronger desire for the tower than anyone else.
He has passed through countless barriers that were considered impossible
. Well, okay. The results will come out soon anyway.â
The man released the mana he had accumulated in his fingertips in an instant.
Soon, everything turned white.
