Episode 702. Labyrinth âTemple of Ramsesâ (1)
⦠It was true that I was nervous, but I thought it was half a festival.
In any case, unlike the tower, your life will not be threatened.
but.
âDamn it.â
That was a mistake.
From the moment I entered the main temple, communication with the outside world was cut off. The real-time broadcast also stopped working and I was completely isolated.
If it were just that, it wouldnât have been a big problem, but the worst situation came after encountering monsters.
Monsters that were thought to be fake and made of holograms began to target the raiders with complete reality and hostility.
Perhaps due to a bad balance patch, the power of each monster was also beyond imagination.
Coo!
Another person fell.
Not only was he out, but he actually lost his life.
In less than an hour after coming in, about 30% of the total power disappeared.
âAt the very least, we must prevent other players from entering here.â
Like a moth jumping into a fire.
No matter how many people come in, they just die out meaninglessly.
I thought it would only be worth it if there were at least five rankers in the top 100 of the 7 major guilds.
âIf the initial difficulty is this high, we may need EX-level transcendents. Damn it.â
The scale of the labyrinth is beyond your imagination.
It was completely unknown how much stronger monsters would be infested here.
ââ¦I give up here. Everyone go to the entrance and hold out until help comes.â
Hamilton made his decision.
âYes? Ha, butâ¦.â
âI was the first to get in here, but if I give up here, Iâll never have a chance to join the first team raid again.â Itâs
difficult, but thereâs still a chance.
Because there was such a large reward at stake, everyoneâs steps were not easily lost.
âAre you really going to die because of the main attack? Donât you all feel that the situation is strange? You have to stay alive to have another chance.â
Although it was part of the Titan Guildâs 2nd raid corps, the raid leader, Hamilton, was a raid leader with the senses of a beast of his own.
Fortunately, his engineering team members trusted the words of the engineering team leader more than their own greed.
The worries didnât last long.
âAll right.â
âpuck! When itâs over, letâs all have a drink of vodka together. âI donât think wine or beer can relieve my sore stomach.â
Once the order was given, the attack force maintained a defensive position as much as possible and secured a retreat route.
âKeeeeee!â
âKeeeeee!â
Mummies with long, torn mouths.
Cursed monsters spewing contaminated blood from their mouths have increased the level of pressure.
Unlike the guys we defeated 10 minutes ago, the new enemies that appeared were so strong that even A-level players had difficulty guaranteeing victory.
âCough! âWow!â
âMason! Hang in there just a little longer. little bit more!â
Cheeeeeek!
Acrid smoke rising along the ground. As the acid accumulated from spitting out, the space to step on gradually decreased.
The advantage of a well-organized raid group has long since disappeared.
â¦Now itâs not easy to retreat.
furthermore. From the moment a being in the shape of a rotten wolf appeared, any hope of escape disappeared.
Kukukukukukuku!
The air changes suddenly.
In the cold, frozen room, there was only the smell of death.
âKrrrâ¦â
The wolf holding a black book and a black staff began to emit black shadows one after another.
Go, go, go!
It feels like the skin itself is burning.
You can feel it from far away.
Thatâs a completely different level.
It was natural that he was named, and he possessed the strongest power among the monsters he had ever seen.
Just watching with red eyes flashing in the dark must be a kind of entertainment. If you step forward, there wonât be any variables at all.
âshit.â
As the point approached where the damage exceeded the healing capacity of the healers, Hamiltonâs face turned an earthy color.
Itâs over.
Just when I thought so.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A strange thing happened.
A ray of golden light swept across the battlefield.
âI will join you.â
A paladin radiating divine power.
It was Teresa de Laurencia.
A promising ranker from a famous family. Although his activity decreased noticeably after the Amsterdam outbreak, he was so brilliant in the beginning that he was someone everyone had heard of at least once.
âIs it Ji-won?â
âThank goodness! Itâs a paladin!â
Cheers erupted from everywhere.
Now that there is a job that boasts the highest efficiency against undead monsters like mummies, there is bound to be hope.
But the joy didnât last long.
âIs that the end?â
Only about six. The
number of people and composition that did not even have the minimum combination was embarrassing to even be called a raiding party. This would only increase the number of corpses instead of providing help. However
,
[Teresa has the unique ability âStar Protectionâ] Activates!]
Kukukukukukuku!
The golden crosses coming through the ceiling were not enough for just one paladin to hold.
âKieee!â
âKieee!â
The golden mist falling indiscriminately. Hundreds of mummies were completely evaporated.
Everyone watched Teresaâs battle in a daze. All
senses were focused to one side.
In order to capture each scene in their minds. There
was only one thing.
The named monster, âCorrupt Priestâ. Except.
ââ¦.â
The corrupt priest who had been watching the whole time felt Teresaâs presence and wriggled his hands. Unlike
the ants that just play around and then trample on, an enemy worth moving and dealing with has appeared
. Sigh!
Black vapors raged wildly.
Teresaâs divine power disappeared in an instant, and its place was filled with cursed gases.
Indescribable magical power gathered in the dark red energy at the tip of the staff.
Right then.
âIn the heat of the moment.â Our excited saint just left it like that. Are you playing with me?â
A strange human appeared in front of the corrupt priest.
It was a climber with black hair and a pair of daggers.
âIt is a characteristic of you humans that you cannot understand the subject, but it is absolutely laughable. I never thought that only one person would try to fight this body.â
[The corrupt priest activates âAncient Black Deathâ!]
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
Light made of black particles erupted towards one point. Although
the range is much smaller , The power alone was reminiscent of the Black Dragonâs acid breath.
âSorry, since I only fight with strong guys, I think I might be a bit poor at controlling my strength.â
Jinhyuk smiled brightly and lightly swung the dagger.
[âBlack Moon Night (黿å¤)â is activated!]
The rushing light and the black crescent moon collided at one point.
â
At the same time.
Hamilton, who had fallen in love with Teresa unilaterally slaughtering the mummies, came to his senses belatedly.
âThatâs right. As for the named monsterâ¦!?â
The mummies are not important.
The most dangerous one was that monster in the shape of a wolf.
Before it moves in earnest, we need to prepare our stance and defend ourselves, focusing on Teresa. This level of divine power. A paladin who could handle it might have been able to survive until the main armyâs support arrived.
However,
the most problematic wolf was nowhere to be seen.
Instead, he said,
âNice to meet you. Maybe itâs because desert travel is all the rage these days. You end up encountering more people than you think.â
Jinhyuk slowly walked out from the shadows.
âThere was a named monster in that direction. How could it come from that direction?â
âNamed?â
Jinhyuk opened his eyes wide.
âThatâs right. Itâs a fearsome beast that can wipe out an entire raid. We had almost given up on escaping because of that monsterâ¦â
âWell. Was there such a person or not?â
I donât remember if there was a special threat. Except that I picked up a strange staff on the way.
***
After a storm passed,
I went to find the advance party that I had not heard from. Each guild dispatched an additional raiding party made up of rankers. The
justification was to check on the fate of their precious colleagues, but in reality, the reason was that they had to obtain the rewards in the Great Temple no matter what sacrifices were made. The
seven major guilds gathered like that . The raiding party.
The raiding party that came in scatteredly was able to easily find the surviving advance party inside the temple.
And of course,
the dead body corporation and Jinhyuk who were next to them.
âYou bastardâ¦!â
Dreadloreâs ranker Mayer immediately attacked Jinhyuk. He approached.
It seemed as if he would pull out his sword at any moment.
Jinhyeok caused the entire guild to fall into the middle of the typhoon, so of course he was bound to be angry. The
Dreadlore rankers who followed him were also spewing out ferocious murderous spirit.
âYou impersonate us so fearlessly. The way you want to commit suicide is also novel.â
âWhen I think of all the hardships I went through because of that bastardâ¦â
âIâll drink a lot of it.â
Sling!
Slam!
Various weapons were drawn.
Since all communication with the outside world had already been cut off, whatever happened inside would be subject to an unwritten rule.
âYouâre temperamental.â
Jinhyeok clicked his tongue. Anyway,
itâs typical of newbies to be fascinated by what they see right in front of them without even knowing what the current situation is.
No. But should I say that they have taken off their newbie t-shirt at this level?
Anyway, we exchanged the first greeting and started a conversation. I think we should do it.
It was when Jinhyeok was trying to sneak a glance at T-Bone and Wolyoung.
âThatâs hard to listen to quietly.â
A lot of magic power intervened along with a familiar voice.
Chuck. Swoosh.
Heâs so good at detecting presence. Because he had saved it, he didnât really notice it until he got close.
âThey knew who we were and intervenedâ¦â
Mayer paused as he spoke.
It was because the person who started the argument was no ordinary stranger.
Takeshi.
With his ability to read the future, he saved the country every time Japan went through a crisis.
In particular, he performed brilliantly in the Afandos habitat raid with the current top ranker, Shuette, raising the profile of the samurai guild.
[Named] Even though three monsters, a gate guardian, and about 70,000 ants were wiped out, there were only about 20 victims.] [Thanks to the samurai guild, we were able to conquer the three most difficult routes with the least damage!]
[The great man who saved humanity !
[The heroâs biography revealed]
The press and media alike praised Japanâs achievements and Takeshiâs judgment in turning the absurd into reality.
As a result, the samurai guild solidified its position as one of the seven major guilds.
No one dared to do so. Canât be ignored. It has become the strongest martial arts group in the melee world.
âIf you talk any more recklessly, we wonât stay quiet either.â
Takeshi growled.
Then the Dreadlore rankers looked at each other as if they were troubled.
No matter how serious the crime of impersonating them was, an unplanned conflict with a large guild was bound to be burdensome.
Even more so if it is a samurai guild full of fierce swordsmen.
âYou sayâ¦? Hey, what should I do because this is a waste? âI really wanted to fight, but I really canât help it.â
It was an added bonus to feel heartbroken over Jinhyeokâs death.
