Episode 712: A moving beast (2)
A special labyrinth that inherits the soul of Egypt.
If you have the right ability, there is something that suits you perfectly.
Partzitz⦠Chichijik!
Intense blue sparks.
[Four abilities are fused!]
[The success rate of fusion is low due to the imperfect combination formula.]
As expected, it is difficult to obtain the desired abilities completely unless you copy more abilities from Egyptian gods and residents. It was impossible.
but.
âJust add some sauce.â
If you have the power to adjust errors to some extent, you already have it.
[The unique ability âSystem Manipulationâ is activated.]
The sparks became even more intense.
And that moment.
[Fusing was successful!]
[Unique Spear âIncarnation of Anubisâ]
Difficulty of obtaining: Unmeasurable
Contents: Can be activated without any conditions only for those who challenge the level of Egypt. The opponent is selected by Anubisâ most cherished being, and can use various Egyptian blessings and abilities.
Additionally, 2 of the opponentâs abilities are randomly sealed. (Time limit: 15 minutes).
[The fused abilities are stored in the âmemory of the world.â]
As the book opened, the newly acquired abilities were immediately activated.
Ugh!
A golden world unfolded in front of Setan Mummy.
White sandy beach and palm trees stretching to the left and right. Golden waves were overflowing from the Sphinx and Pyramid located in the center.
and.
At the center stood a being wearing a helmet identical to Anubis.
ââ¦This?â
Setan Mummy slowly walked forward as if possessed by something.
This is because the familiar yet awe-inspiring pure power of the sun stimulated my instincts.
Players who were fighting here and there also recognized a new entity that had suddenly appeared.
âWho is it?â
âWhat ability is it?â
âThis is my first time seeing something like thatâ¦â
âItâs not a player. âI am a resident.â
âHe is an apostle! âThe apostle of the Egyptian power is among them!â
For some reason, the Egyptian gods were extremely reluctant to recruit their own apostles. According to residents with connections, it is simply because there is a zero-ranked candidate who has already been decided.
Therefore, it was no exaggeration to say that there were almost no people receiving Egyptâs protection.
So, I thought that this time, conquering the labyrinth was even more hopeless. I never thought there would be a rare species among these.
[The incarnation of Anubis looks at his enemy.]
Kwakwakwakwakwa!
The desert sandstorm shook the entire labyrinth.
At the same time, the incarnation of Anubis moved.
Quang!
The body that jumped after stepping on the sand instantly dug into the very roots of the Thetan Mummy.
Although its body was only 180cm, its instantaneous acceleration and destructive power easily surpassed those of large monsters.
Puff puff puff!
The wind pressure alone tore the medium-sized crocodile to pieces.
The two half-moon swords held in his hands emitted bloody anticipation.
âDestroy the enemies of the royal family.â
In his short words, he simply silently announced what he had to do next.
ââ¦A fake who obeysâ¦humansâ¦!â
Thean Mummy swung a golden spear.
Kaaaaang!
Metal collided at one point.
In an instant, dozens of agreements were fought and argued.
Sigh! Sigh! Puff poop!
Setan Mummy stabbed mercilessly with a long spear that was well over 5 meters long. The incarnation of Anubis cut off a single thrust with a short half-moon sword and dug inward.
[Setan Mummy activates the skill âPriestâs Secretâ â âDesert Sandstormâ!]
Oooh!
A sand whirlwind reaching tens of meters was summoned.
[The incarnation of Anubis activates the âEmerald Scarabâs Deadly Poison!â
In response, the circular blade made of purple rotated fiercely.
A high-level close-quarters battle was followed by a magic battle.
Puff puff poop!
Kwaaaaang!
Colorful fireworks obscured my vision.
Tuk.
An incarnation of Anubis jumped out of the storm.
[Skill âPriestâs Secretâ is sealed.]
Suddenly, the sand wind that protected Setan Mummy disappeared.
A bare body clearly exposed.
âKeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!â
Setan Mummy reflexively summoned soldiers made of sand and charged them. Dozens of spear blades pierced the incarnation of Anubis.
No, I thought I had it figured out.
Sussseuâ¦.
âShin⦠Giru.â
The power to freely manipulate mirages at extremely close range was the reason why the incarnation of Anubis boasted an undefeated record in close combat.
Suddenly!
The half-moon sword drew a clean trajectory.
Blood gushing like a fountain.
The body of Setan Mummy, whose head was half cut off, swayed greatly.
Anyone can see that it is a fatal wound.
however.
Setan Mummy, who had suffered quite serious injuries, began to heal at an unbelievable speed. It was a result that was hard to believe that he had been struck by a half-moon sword with a curse of death on it.
This is impossible unless you are an archangel who specializes in divinity and regeneration.
âThereâs something more.â
Jinhyukâs pupils narrowed.
No matter how newly acquired the ability is, the power possessed by the incarnation of Anubis is absolute. It was true that Setan Mummy was also strong, but he could not be an opponent in a 1:1 match.
In the first place, Thean Mummyâs true power could be unleashed when the legions under his command, including the 10 Curses, were gathered together.
However, the reason why it was successful was because a new force intervened.
Ugh!
Jinhyeok, who had mastered the lost language, could see letters faintly engraved across the field.
[Stigmata of the great force âElder Godâ are scattered around.]
Part of the information caught in the eyes of gluttony.
I barely found out about this because access to the rest was all restricted.
âI guess I messed up a bit too much.â
If the stigmata remain, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to defeat Setan Mummy. The longer you wait, the more your magic and stamina will be consumed.
âEllis.â
âhuh.â
âFrom now on, go around and find our members and ask them to go to the places written on this map.â
âWhat do we have here?â
âIf you just look, you wonât see anything.â
There are a total of seven locations where the stigmata were engraved.
There were differences in scale, both large and small, but they all had to be destroyed.
Jinhyuk took out six ice cubes.
Inside were crystals with different languages written on them.
âIf you use this, the stigmata will be visible, so just destroy it.â
âYouâre just trying to use Jim as an errand boy. âI donât feel very comfortable.â
âokay? Then there is nothing we can do. Ms. Teresa!â
âWho says they wonât do it! Why are you looking for a foolish saint who is too busy fighting? Itâs uproar! âHe looks like heâs out of his mind right now!â
âthank you. âItâs because I donât have anyone other than you that I can trust.â
Jinhyuk stroked Ellisâ head.
The sassy queen, who had been rambunctious just a moment ago, became calm as if it had never been so. It feels like watching a fierce cat purring.
âokay! âJust trust me!â
Ellis, flapping her small wings, contacted the members scattered throughout the battlefield.
There will be seniors Yoo Cheon-young, Lee Tae-min, and Yeon-hwa here somewhere, so they will be able to receive quite a bit of help.
The Shuja Guild, which formed a temporary alliance with the Samurai Guild led by Takeshi, will also willingly participate in the operation.
âFrey.â
âhuh.â
âIt would be difficult for the incarnation of Anubis to handle that boss alone. âYou take T-Bone and Wolyoung and support him so he can focus on 1:1 matches.â
âLooking at the enemyâs regenerative ability, the probability of winning is about 1.253%.â
âI know. So, all you have to do is take the time.â
Jinhyuk patted Freyâs shoulder as if he trusted him.
ââ¦.â
Frey stopped as if he had a breakdown.
But it was only for a moment.
After a few seconds of silence, he always nodded slightly, like an emotionless doll.
As everyone left to carry out their missions, Jinhyuk, who was left alone, grabbed the last remaining piece of ice.
The place where the largest stigmata were carved was the furthest away from the battlefield.
***
Has about 10 minutes passed?
Jinhyeok, moving at high speed, finally reached the place where the stigmata were.
At first glance, it looked like a part of a desert with several sand dunes gathered together.
Kwasik!
The piece of ice I was holding broke.
[âUnpolished ice sculptureâ detects the Elder Godâs stigmata!]
Ugh!
The purple wavelength identified stigmata carved into the rock. Now all I have to do is destroy it.
But at that moment.
âI thought you would come if I waited here.â
A young womanâs voice rang out from the side of the sand dune.
Saakâ¦. Sasashakâ¦.
A girl was seen along with the crumbling sand.
It was Jang Bo-kyung, a high ranker who came at the request of Seo Jeong-hee.
Next to her were three high rankers who had also received a request, as well as a number of heresy inquisitors dispatched from the Vatican.
ââ¦You guys are so disgusting. I understand that you are faithful to your mission, but can we postpone it a little bit? âIâm doing something important right now.â
Jinhyuk waved his hand.
Then, the movement suddenly stopped.
âYou knew I would come hereâ¦?â
To this place far away from the battlefield?
The smile disappeared from Jinhyukâs face.
âI thought the most likely ones were those red cross guys or Adele. Was it you? âApostle of the Elder God?â
Eat.
Jang Bo-kyung laughed instead of answering.
That must mean positivity.
âHumans do stupid things because they are blinded by greed. They say it never changes throughout the East and the West, but you will be counted among the top five. âDo you listen to those insidious people?â
Although they are better than the Outer Gods, the Elder Gods are also a race that should not be easily trusted.
It is said that there is a chance of victory only if one prepares perfect negotiating points and safety measures and approaches carefully.
But a newbie who is still just a young chick is so quick to accept their offer.
It felt like the sweet potato I ate three years ago was climbing up my throat.
âI have no idea what youâre talking about. âWeâre just here to get rid of you.â
Jang Bo-kyung shrugged her shoulders.
It seems that other people still canât even imagine Jang Bo-kyungâs identity or the existence of Elder God.
âAs promised, I have prepared the relics. âNow itâs your turn to keep your promise.â
The Heretic Questioner, who was the leader, handed something to Jang Bo-gyeong.
âOf course I remember.â
Then Jang Bo-kyung snapped her fingers.
Sigh!
[An unknown gate is opening!]
A crack opens in the air.
Several water droplets seemed to be bubbling. The blonde girl suddenly fell.
Coo!
âoh?â
It was Teresa.
The saint, who had been at the forefront of protecting enemies from all directions, had not yet come to terms with what had happened.
âMr. Jinhyuk?â
Teresa, who hit her butt in the sand, looked around and found Jinhyuk.
There must be only one reason why they went to all this trouble to bring Teresa here.
Avoiding other peopleâs attention.
Probably to get rid of Teresa.
In fact, the Inquisitors began to approach Teresa with the eyes of prey.
Chuckâ¦
Jinhyuk pulled out two daggers.
âHoo. Are you trying to protect that witch? âNo matter how much it is said in the Bible not to harass the weak, we have no choice if we want to help a fallen saint.â
âIf you donât want to hit the Lordâs Prayer according to the number of letters, donât move any further. Iâve beaten people with spoons, but Iâve never beaten them with a cross. âYou could be the first.â
âInsolentâ¦â
At Jinhyukâs provocation, the handsome manâs face, which had been polite, suddenly crumpled.
âSir Dominic. âPlease leave the disposal of the author to this Silvio.â
A giant knight named Silvio drew his sword.
âI allow it.â
âthank you.â
Silvio walked toward Jinhyuk with long strides.
[Silvio fires the âDivine Swordâ!]
Cuckoo!
As the heavy divine power spread, the surrounding air completely changed.
âYouâre so scared that you canât even think about running away.â
Jinhyuk, standing motionless on the spot, seemed frozen.
Well, speaking of the Heretic Questioners, they were vicious hunting dogs that even the rankers were reluctant to fight with. Of course, in front of a Paladin who has fully unleashed his power, a player from a weak country would inevitably be no match for him.
The rest of the staff also looked forward to seeing Jinhyuk split in half with a wry smile on their faces.
âItâs blasphemy, you brat.â
A golden long sword soared high into the sky.
