Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 141
Episode 141. Blood Wayport (1)
How many tens of minutes have passed?
Jinhyeok, who was running alone, finally reached the shore.
It is about 10km away from where I am standing now to the island where the ‘Phoenix Feather’ is located.
As expected, there was a road made of black clouds over the sea.
‘Has it already crossed.’
The board was laid out at length, but in the end, the blood family had only one purpose from the beginning.
In order to go to the island where the ‘Phoenix Feather’ is located.
To be precise, it must be to activate the great magic targeting the entire island.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
I could see a red haze rolling over a faintly visible island in the distance.
At most, after about an hour, the magic circle should take effect.
If so….
Jinhyeok took out the ‘Essence of the Frostblade Tribe’ he received from Caracal from his bosom.
At the same time, the status window was activated.

——————————————————
Perfect growth with nothing to blame.
However, in order to move forward, simply having the modifier ‘perfect’ was not enough.
Perfection is basic and everything should be overwhelming.
Only then will they be able to return alive from that island.
‘Currently possesses 80 magic power…’
If other players saw it, it’s a high enough number to inhale.
Isn’t Jinhyeok not only specialized in using magic, but also specialized in close combat?
In addition, considering the gap and adaptive stats, it was a level of morale that no one could compare to among current players.
Even so, Jinhyeok’s expression did not show any composure.
‘There must be a chance of winning if it goes up at least three times the current level.’
The magical energy felt on that island was unmatched.
Jinhyeok poured the essence in his hand into his mouth.
Gulp…
I could feel the hard solid going down my throat.
right at that moment.
Whoa!
A warm energy began to rise from within her body.
Jinhyuk’s face crumpled at the pain that seemed like his whole body was being torn to shreds.
“Keuuuuu…”
I expected it, but I couldn’t help but let out a moan.
[You have taken the holy relic ‘Essence of Soul’ of the Frost Blade tribe!]
[Magic power temporarily increases from 80 → 320!]
[Remaining time: 0h:59m:59s]
“Whoa. Whoa. Whoa… .”
Jinhyuk calmed down.
My bones were still throbbing and I felt like my intestines were about to burst.
shit. This is why I didn’t want to do the act of overloading my body.
At least, thanks to the ‘Jin Tae-cheong Hwarang Shimbeop’, mana management was easy, so it’s a shame that if I did it naked, I would have become a dead person and a rag in the liver.
‘But it’s enough now.’
There is no shortage of horsepower.
For at least an hour, since the arrival of the Tower of Trials, he has gained the strength to get closer to his past prime than ever before.
***
Took!
Jinhyeok crossed the bridge in an instant using the ‘Gummajewangbo’.
fast.
It took less than 5 minutes to cross the bridge thanks to the drastic increase in mana.
pounding! pounding! pounding!
My heart was beating violently.
this feeling.
this spirit.
It is similar to the time when he stormed into the colony of giants on the 18th floor with a single sunflower.
‘I remember. It was in the midst of reading the book, “Don’t hit me even with flowers.”
I was so impressed with the reading that I had surplus magic power, so I fought with flowers instead of weapons for several months.
Roses, rose of hibiscus, dandelions, whatever kind they came across, they got their hands on and then strengthened them with magical powers
.
“Consider yourself lucky. You’re lucky that the seventh floor is so cold that no plants grow.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
Then he saw a man with silver hair in front of him.
“Hoo.”
The corners of Michael’s mouth went up.
It’s a face that didn’t know you’d come this far.
Well, it must be hard to believe since so many demons, following Berteon and Ophelia, have all been broken through.
However, despite the unexpected situation, Michael still did not lose his composure.
As if this much variable could be handled.
“You must be the person named Kang Jin-hyeok, as rumored to be.”
“that’s right. What should I call you then?”
“My name is Michael. A bit more cumbersome adjectives are attached to the name, but there won’t be any need for such formality between us.”
“I like how simple it is.”
Jinhyuk nodded.
“Ophelia said she had never seen a human with such a special blood. Indeed, it is not a lie. I thought I had lost my appetite a long time ago. It’s been a while since I felt like this.”
Something… Is that the look on the face of a person starving for a week when he sees a delicious steak for the first time?
I don’t know how I ended up being a vampire’s high-end lunch box.
It’s all because of Alice.
“Yeah. I guess I was famous? As long as it’s rumored even among mosquitoes.”
“haha. okay. Not worth being so proud of. To be honest, it would be more accurate to say that I was surprised. I also never expected that there would be someone this strong among humans.”
Michael scanned Jinhyeok up and down.
It felt like the sticky eyes were sticking to my skin.
Does this feel a bit dirty?
“I don’t have any tolerance for men staring at me… If you’re provoking me, you’re doing pretty well right now.”
Even if the target is a handsome guy, that kind of attention is definitely not acceptable.
“Sorry. I am quite interested in you, but it seems that your interest is only in one direction.”
“I hope you don’t waste your time talking like that. To be honest, isn’t it so obvious that it’s no fun?”
“You’re wasting time? I mean?”
“no?”
“I have no idea what you are talking about. I am only interested in this conversation.”
Michael responded calmly.
hmm. Still, this guy manages his facial expression quite well.
To think that a talented person who could be nominated for an Academy Award is stuck in a corner of ice like this. Film directors around the world will hit the ground and regret it.
“Then I will remind you once more. Right now, the Blood Wayport needs another 15 minutes to be fully operational. Of course, you’ll want to hide that fact as much as possible. It’s going to get in trouble if you get in the way and the magic circle is dislocated.”
A ‘Blood Wayport’ made with the blood of a thousand people.
Regardless of whether it is an enemy or an ally, it is a great magic circle that is activated only when there is a lot of blood.
To complete this, Michael sacrificed so many lives.
Of course, I was caught in the middle of the success.
“You know… about the Blood Wayport?”
An earthquake occurred in Michael’s pupils.
It was hard to believe even though he said it himself, even his voice trembled.
I understand.
It must be unrealistic for mere humans to know this kind of information.
Either that or not, Jinhyeok continued to speak.
Now is the time to drop the bomb.
“Blood Wayport is the ability to summon selfless monsters through sacrificed offerings.”
In other words.
“Aren’t you preparing for a war to expand your territory?”
I don’t know exactly what floor they’re aiming for.
The tower’s power structure and interests will be much more complicated than those in past games.
A moment of silence passed.
But it was only for a short while.
“…okay. At this point, I can’t help but admit it. That it was my mistake to treat you on the same level as Mine or guild rankers.”
In an instant, Michael’s complexion changed dramatically.
A life that blooms ferociously.
It was clear that he felt even a deep sense of fear, even though it was a fleeting moment beyond a simple sense of vigilance.
“I have so many questions to ask of you, including Alice. So don’t worry. I’m going to attach it as much as my breath.”
Michael raised his mana.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
The power to change the track.
An illusion arose as if the entire island was vibrating.
‘I see… that there is a class even among blood relatives.’
Jereet! Jereet! Jereet!
The energy that touches the skin is warm.
It was no exaggeration to say that they were a completely different race from Ophelia and Bertion.
But why?
Even in the midst of a magical storm like Mount Taesan, Jinhyeok was smiling.
Because I can fight a strong enemy.
And to be able to deal with the enemy with the best conditions in battle.
I felt every cell in my body come to life.
okay.
‘This is the taste.’
The exhilaration of defeating an enemy that is difficult to handle at your current level.
I stayed in this world to enjoy this thrill and fun.
I also chose to live in this world once again.
“I think you should be worried. There is not a single reason to let them live.”
A dagger in his left hand.
And in his right hand, he held one of the twin dragon swords.
A pair of weapons of different lengths gave off a strange warning.
That moment.
[Inherent ability ‘Blessing of the Stars’ is activated.]
The energy of the stars floating in the night sky
is incomparable to Teresa’s .
It fell to the ground right now.
“Should I go? Or will you come?”
Jinhyeok raised his sword with brilliance.
***
Rapidly changing air.
Magic beyond imagination collided head-on.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah!
All the snow and dirt was plowed up and a new road was made on the ground.
Dark red sparks flickered over the deep snowdrifts.
Indeed, it is doubtful that this is simply a confrontation between the two entities.
“Keugh!”
A thick tendon popped out between Michael’s forehead.
It’s not just because I was pushed out of power.
I used 7 magics in a row, but it was great that all of them were read.
‘I… Did you say you were pushed back in a number fight?’
I thought I had the best combination.
Confident that he would be able to kneel after turning his opponent into a rag this once.
But this is the result.
The burns on his body regenerated in an instant, but the scars on his pride did not heal.
Facing such Michael, Jinhyeok also licked his lips with his tongue.
Even in terms of strength alone, he ranks higher than the 10th floor stone giant.
Moreover, his magic power was incomparable to any other target he had fought so far.
‘Even though I only hit it with good magic, it’s this much of a shock…’
I thought it wouldn’t be easy, but this was more than I imagined.
Even though he absorbed even ‘essence’ and greatly increased his magic power, he failed to inflict a fatal wound.
Only 7 minutes left.
‘I’ll have to be a bit nervous to get it done on time.’
Jinhyeok took his stance again.
Vampires should make more gaps to destroy their own shields and super-fast regeneration.
In the end, the important thing in this fight is speed.
A bright light shimmered on both legs when using the ‘Sword Demon Emperor’.
To combine maximum speed and the best blow.
The senses of the whole body were sharpened.
But that was just then.
“This can’t be…”
Jinhyeok took a deep breath.
Something happened that should never have happened.
