Episode 682. Three Flames âYomagantoâ (1)
The sky of the canyon is dyed black.
In the middle of the demon world, where everything had turned gray, there stood a being who announced the beginning of the end.
Kukukukukukuku!
It is a magical power as heavy as the deep sea.
Just by facing it, I felt as if my whole body was on fire.
âItâs been a while since I felt like this.â
Jinhyuk clapped his fingers while protecting his body with glacier sculpture.
An ancient being that I met for a long time after fighting Groth.
The moment has come when we must deal with a monster with the fraudulent ability to manifest the domain of fire.
Partsâ¦!
As the flames cleared, a girl with red hair appeared inside.
It was beautiful enough to attract anyoneâs eyes, but at the same time, it had a creepy, cold, murderous look to it.
Did you choose something like that for the shell?
Although it appeared as its original body, it was clearly different from the ancient beings we had previously known, seeing as it was imitated in a human shell.
The Youmaganto, which does not discriminate between enemies and enemies due to its anger, is a great threat even to returnees. Several returnees, including Clemence, tried to appeal that they were not the enemy, but to no avail.
âJust wait. âWe have received a request from you and are currently carrying out our mission.â
âPerforming a mission? âWhat kind of people are these people who are dragged around by a single person and end up missing even the most important thing?â
âKaaaa!â
Clémenceâs body, consumed by fear, burned alive.
The masterless shadow sapling resisted violently as its host died, but it could not stand against the power of Yomaganto at the level of a plant.
In the first place, it was an even more unlikely story because it absorbed the host and bloomed in half.
Burnt ashes gathered around the Yomaganto.
Fire means extinction and birth.
This means that it does not simply disappear, but is recycled as nutrients for new people.
[Youmagantoâs power increases by +2050.]
âThat useless magical power. Offer it for me. âYou insignificant scum.â
Yomaganto swallowed the flame as it was.
The sight of a beautiful girlâs mouth being torn from top to bottom was so strange that it was so bizarre.
Grumble!
Immediately, long snakes made of fire came out from under the shadow of the Yomaganto.
âThere are people who covet what is ours without even knowing the subject. âGo and kill him.â
âShh!â
âShhh!â
The snakes, licking their tongues, nodded.
Purple flames appeared and dozens of snakes moved at incredibly fast speeds.
2This is the direction where the chicken and fesis are.
You shouldnât send it away like that.
âExorcism!â
âMosquito!â
At Jinhyukâs shout, the sweet potato spread its wings wide.
Parts!
Light gathering along the mouth.
The ancient dragonâs breath drew a red line in the direction in which the snakes were running.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Fire clashed with fire, turning the entire field of vision in front of me red. On a battlefield where moisture had already disappeared, just a small flame created firepower several times greater than usual.
âUnreasonable interferenceâ¦â
Yomaganto let out an irritated response.
âDonât cheat on a girl who is far away. Just focus on me. âUnless you want to end up like Gross.â
Jinhyeok killed him without even blinking at his anger.
âYou⦠the more you know, the more surprising you are. âI canât believe Iâve ever fought with those beings of the abyss.â
Medray widened his eyes as if he was truly surprised.
He also knew about ancient beings, but that was limited to knowledge and experience. It was never an area of combat.
But who would have thought that a mere humanâ¦
â¦would have fought against the most secretive and powerful of the highest level gods in the Tower of Trials.
Is that all there is?
Now, to borrow the words of Yomaganto, one of them has even been destroyed.
If it had not been said directly by a primordial being, I would never have believed it.
âI was a little lucky in many ways. âI met Medray this time too, so I hope Iâm just as lucky.â
âThe pressure is through the roof, but it doesnât feel too bad that you trust me.â
[Medrayâs favorability increases.]
[The standard of goodness has been met by 12%.]
Sheesh.
Is it still only 12%?
Since he is such a big guy, it seems impossible to meet the standard simply by flattering him.
Still, it was true that I was able to use the perfectly cooked medray as I wanted, so I felt confident in my ability to use it.
âExcuse me, but I will take the initiative and continue the fight. Medray, please provide support at the appropriate time.â
âItâs been a while since we got together, but donât worry too much. âBecause we worked together perfectly with that difficult ice witch.â
âIf itâs an ice witchâ¦â
âYou probably donât know. âHeâs called the Frost Spirit, and heâs been a resident of the tower long before you came to the tower.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cooing.
A large rock fell on Jinhyeokâs head.
I canât believe the name Frost Spirit came out of the mouth of a medray.
Or rather, that ancient climber is still alive?
The window I had kept in subspace came to mind, and my mind was confused by unexpected information.
It seems like I have one more thing to talk about with Medray after this fight.
***
In a tense confrontation between the two.
There was also great unrest among the returnees.
This is because the central axis of Clemence has disappeared and it is no longer possible to guarantee what will happen to their lives.
âAre you going to keep fighting? âNow there would be no reason for that.â
Teresa asked the paladin in front of her.
ââ¦The bounty placed by the system has not disappeared yet.â
âYou have to be alive to receive the bounty.â
The paladin let out a long sigh at the words that reminded him of reality.
âThatâs not wrong either.â
Now that the Primordial One has turned the tables, there is no reason to fulfill the contract made with Nyarlathotep. Rather, they developed a deep desire for revenge on those who stabbed them in the back.
And it was the same for the rest of the returnees.
âHmm. Itâs a shame. âI really wanted to compete.â
The white-haired boy licked his lips.
The clothes he was wearing were stained red due to scratches here and there, but the excitement and pleasure seemed greater than the pain.
âGet out of here because I donât want to see you again.â
Cheon Yu-seong wiped the blood from his forehead and caught his breath.
âThere is a 100% chance that we will only suffer losses if we fight among ourselves. huh.â
âjoy. âConsider yourself lucky that your life was saved.â
Frey and Ellis also gained magical power.
Now the situation has arrived where we must move to deal with a new, bigger enemy. The returnees had to dodge as quickly as possible to avoid being absorbed by the Yomaganto.
Jinhyuk glanced into the air, examining the entire situation.
If weâve made a fuss like this, itâs about timeâ¦
Just when I thought so.
Ugh!
A crack appeared in the air.
Finally, the person I had been waiting for came.
[Senior manager Rick Hennessy intervenes.]
âYou are intruding on such a busy time.â
A middle-aged gentleman wearing a fedora came down the translucent stairs.
âWhy did you appear here?â
Yomaganto frowned.
Among the senior managers, Rick Hennessy and Bendivia were the ones who especially did not follow their instructions. In particular, Rick had been stubborn and disobeyed their orders, even though he had only recently been promoted to upper management.
However, I couldnât help but feel uncomfortable as I intervened again at such an important moment.
âItâs not my hobby to come to hellish places like this, but actuallyâ¦â
âI called you!â
Jinhyuk quickly raised his hand like a child who knew the answer.
âyes. Player Jinhyuk Kang expressed strong protest against this interference with the stairs. Even though the covenant has ended, not only does he freely appear as his true self⦠letâs see. You said that according to System Article 103, Section 22 -c, there is a clause that states that primordial beings cannot go to any dimension other than the Tower. âHow did you know that there was a clause like this?â
Rick played with his monocle and flipped through a long book.
It was a legal code containing various laws and provisions regarding the system that only senior managers could have.
ââ¦Itâs ridiculous. so. âHow dare a senior manager give me a penalty?â
âOf course, I know very well that my subject does not have the power and authority to do so.â
Rick joked and bowed his head deeply.
The overly exaggerated self-deprecation is rather annoying.
âHowever, I think I can give you one of the items I own as a gift of deep consolation.â
Rick took out a feather fan made of golden feathers from subspace.
Sasakâ¦.
The quill disappeared.
The place it reappeared was on Jinhyeokâs hand.
[âThe quill that writes the lawâ is activated!]
Content: You can modify certain parts of the rules set by the system.
Special reward from Rick Hennessy.
While the man added a variable by pranking Jack Eden, Rick planned to give Jinhyuk a variable by using Yomagantoâs movement as an opportunity.
There.
[The unique ability âSystem Manipulationâ is activated!]
Jinhyuk has called up an operator-only ability from âMemory of the Worldâ.
Parts!
When the two sparks met, sparks of different colors emitted dazzling light. A new kind of magic opens a new horizon.
[Bounty Event]
Contents: Player Kang Jin-hyukâ¦
Chijijik!
The status window written in gold blinked stutteringly. Like directing a scene from an old TV.
When Jinhyuk moved the quill pen for a moment, the previously written letters disappeared and a completely different sentence was completed.
[Bounty Event]
Content: If you succeed in defeating the ancient god âYomagantoâ, the returnees will be able to fulfill one wish they have. This quest is a group quest and encourages cooperation rather than competition. (In addition, if you form an alliance with the Goinmul Corporation, you will be able to lift one of the bans placed on each returnee.)
âYouâ¦â
Yomaganto exposed his molars as he looked at the brand engraved on his body.
This completely changed the face of the fight.
âA famous person said that.â
The corners of Jinhyukâs mouth drew a crescent moon.
âThe enemy of my enemy is my friend.â
If we had risked our lives with the returnees just a moment ago, now we can fight as one for a greater hope.
