Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 159

Episode 159. Faction Selection (3)

“Nope. It’s been a while since I moved out of my residence. It was really boring.”

“It’s good that the intruder helped you recover.”

“Ugh. How much fresh air is this?”

“Everybody… so noisy. Be quiet.”

Sylphid, the wind spirit beast in the form of an innocent girl.

A ‘gnome’, an earth spirit beast in the form of a small golem.

‘Undine’, the spirit of water in the form of a mature woman.

The light spirit beast ‘Wisp’ in the form of a boy who is troubled by everything.

Spirits of four attributes appeared through each door.

Everyone seemed excited about the long-awaited outing, as if they had been locked up for a long time.

Of course, the excitement here was to play with the intruders brutally.

however.

“huh?”

The second wind spirit that appeared tilted its head.

Something is strange.

Wasn’t there a red lizard in front of her with its head on the ground with its hands behind its back?

“Quiet…”

He was shaking his arms and legs in a cold sweat.

It was hard to believe for a salamander known for ferocity.

“How did this happen? Why are you doing that?”

The spirit of the earth also opened its eyes wide.

Dirt dripped from the corner of his mouth.

“Did he go crazy because he was locked up for so long?”

“Calm down, Salamander! Where are you selling the spirit tree’s pride and taking such a pathetic attitude!”

“everyone. Be quiet.”

The rest of the spirits were also embarrassed.

Right then.

“Mooogi!”

Sweet Potato activated peer.

A roar reverberating along the aisle.

Magical power comparable to that of dragon words took over the space.

“Kyaaaagh!”

“omg!”

“This is…!”

creepy

The faces of the spirit beasts quickly changed to earthy colors.

At the same time, I understood why the Salamander was so frightened and curled up its tail.

The reality is that even phantom beasts and spirit beasts who have fully grown up do not dare to approach the realm of the ancient species.

Who can show their teeth in front of the most special ‘ancient dragon’ among the ancient species?

Even more so, they are only intermediate spirits who have not yet reached adulthood.

The fight seemed to be over before it even started.

“What are you doing? Is there an empty seat next to the fire lizard over there? Why don’t you go first come, first served?”

Jinhyeok, who was sitting on a rock, nodded.

I didn’t know why humans and the like were acting like an ancient species, but the important thing now was not to resolve such questions.

have to run

faster than anyone

And you have to hit your head more passionately than anyone else.

Only then could he survive from that ruthless ancient species.

thud! thud! thud! thud!

Soon after, all five spirit beasts bowed their heads.

A mid-level spirit tree that symbolizes the five elements.

Who could have imagined that we would see the faces of such proud bastards red-hot?

But this wasn’t a dream or imagination, it was a fucking reality.

“good job. Our sweet potato.”

Jinhyeok gently scratched the nape of the sweet potato.

“mosquito!”

Sweet potato enjoyed the touch with her eyes closed.

It seemed to be quite satisfied with the gentle wagging of its tail.

Then…

the question of what to do with those guys.

The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.

“You guys don’t know, but the sweet potato here is one of the outside directors of our Goinmul Corporation.”

To be precise, I am holding the position of Sales Director.

“Since our company is hiring interns in the second half of the year, how can we do that? Are you interested?”

Of course, rejection is death.

Even if it fails, it is death.

“I really want to go in!”

“me too!”

“Even if we don’t know anything else, we’ll do our best to fulfill one given mission!”

“If I can be with the Ancient Bell, I have to pursue it even to the ends of hell. lol.”

“I would like you to speak quietly. But I will too.”

The spirit beasts scrambled to raise their voices.

As befits beings who enjoy a life close to eternal life, their obsession with life was extraordinary.

“hmm. It’s nice to see everyone’s passionate interest in our company, but the truth is, I don’t really like talking softly. I hope everyone will understand.”

Roaring!

A bright flame flickered at the tips of Jinhyuk’s fingers.

The power to enforce a compulsory oath.

It was the ‘stigma of lust’.

As the stigma of love was imprinted on them, the bodies of the Spirit Beasts flinched slightly.

[The spirit beasts of the 5 elements swear obedience.]

‘It feels like picking up gold that has fallen on the road.’

pounding! pounding! pounding!

Jinhyuk’s heart beat like crazy.

It was a medium-level taming of spirits that he hadn’t even dared to attempt in the past. It was made up of only those who were so strong and difficult to deal with.

However, the existence of an ancient species, the sweet potato, made the impossible possible.

‘It’s growing much more efficiently.’

The way to see the top of the tower.

Although the level of difficulty increased due to the variables called characters, good variables like this offset that part.

It means that no matter how difficult it is, it is possible to cope with it enough.

‘No, it’s not at that level.’

At the current pace, he might have surpassed the previous record. And even faster than expected.

as if to prove it.

Tring!

A number of status windows appeared in a row.

[Acquired 5000 achievement points!]

[Current achievement ranking]

1st place: Kang Jin-hyeok (5100P)

2nd place: Namgungcheon (450P)

3rd place: Cheon Yoo-seong (190P)

4th place: Maria (150P)

5th place: Patrick ( 130p)

6th place: Yoshio (125p)

….

The gap with the 2nd place is not even comparable.

Well, it will be a situation where everyone can’t move carelessly.

Jinhyeok slowly skimmed through the rankings.

It was only natural that Namgungcheon was in the top ranks.

It was also expected that Chun Yoo-seong, who does not like to stay still, would run amok.

Ellis, he won’t be interested in going through the traps because everything is annoying. So, I can’t help but find it in the rankings.

and.

‘The rest of the people must be just noticing each other at the penalty caused by the nerf in defense.’

It’s serious injury if you brush it, and death if you hit it, but no matter how strong you are, it will be difficult to enter the traps willingly.

Although they are sucking honey in this way using such psychological gaps, we must not think that this stalemate will continue forever.

‘At most, after a few tens of minutes, I’ll make up my mind and start moving.’

that’s troublesome

If the players died in large numbers, all the arrows of criticism would be directed at the person who chose the 25th floor.

Before the courageous idiots take on a reckless challenge, they must finish the ‘next stage’.

Jinhyeok closed the Public Values window.

‘By the way, it’s time to show interest…’

The moment I thought that.

[Many factions show great interest in you!]

[I admire your overwhelming performance in ‘Empire’.] [

I feel fear for your existence in ‘Wurim’.]

[In ‘The Spirit Realm’, ‘ The existence of ‘Ancient Sweet Potato’ is interesting.]

[A total of 13 small and medium powers want to be with you.] [

The ‘Third Power’ expresses a very strong liking.]

Indirect messages from each faction poured in.

The Empire, the Murim, and the spirit realm.

As expected, many big guys came in.

If you add small and medium powers to it, it seems that it has made a strong impression on quite a number of powers.

‘Well, if you’re not interested in seeing this, that’s crazy.’

Overwhelming performance and the ability to find a way out even in unfavorable situations.

Above all, even the meticulousness of the overall board.

Doesn’t it literally have all the advantages that forces eager to expand their territory want?

From their point of view, just looking at it will make your mouth water.

However, it was not the Moorim, the Empire, or the spirit realm that caught Jinhyeok’s attention.

3rd force.

I never thought I’d come in contact with these guys.

this thing is going to be fun

Unexpectedly, it may be possible to design the situation more complicated.

＊＊＊

“Heh heh…”

A dejected laugh flowed from the mouth of Pennheimer, the Sword Master of the Caladium Kingdom.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall heated up rapidly when a person of interest chose the 25th floor of the tower.

It had to be.

With the skills the current players have, they will never be able to break through the labyrinth on the 25th floor.

In particular, the debuff effect of ignoring all defense was a formidable shackle even if the target was a sword master.

however.

‘…Are you saying you’re not afraid?’

Even in the midst of everyone’s panic, the way he smiled at ease.

It was as if he was showing that he hadn’t just chosen this stair for no reason.

sure it’s not a coincidence.

After a while, Pennheimer’s expectations became reality.

After discovering the hidden route at the entrance of the labyrinth, the door to the five elements appeared behind it.

And there, the anticipation of which spirit beast to choose to battle was amplified.

But no way… I thought I would choose to fight against all the 5 spirits.

‘What are you thinking?’

Pennheimer unknowingly clenched his fists.

Dealing with five Spirit Beasts at the same time, each one named-class, was tantamount to committing suicide.

of course.

All those worries were for nothing.

“This can’t be…”

“Those terrible spirits twisting their tails.”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of a player who guilded an ancient species. There is no precedent of securing an ancient species on our side yet.”

“What kind of method did you use…?

The faces of the residents on the second floor contorted in astonishment.

The strongest creature that is hard to see even in the middle of the tower.

Even just looking at that would be astonishing, the opponent was even using such an ancient species as completely limbs.

It was a scene itself that I had never imagined at all, seeing the noble and docile ancient servant struggling to get his master’s attention.

The long-time leader of the Moyong family who has represented Moorim. Mo Yong-soo also felt cold sweat running down his back.

‘…He was a much more dangerous person than I thought.’

I knew about Jinhyeok from the forest of the elves on the 5th floor, but it was only about the battle.

‘Are you saying that not only the armed forces but also the knowledge of the tower are outside the standard?’

Maybe…

I even thought that not only the power structure of the middle tier, but also that a big change would come to the entire tower.

but.

Even all that shock was just a trailer.

“huh?”

“What is that?”

“Now… wait a minute!”

The scene that follows…

all the residents are at a loss for words.

＊＊＊

“Now. Start!”

Jinhyuk nodded.

OK.

“earth!”

“fire!”

“wind!”

“water!”

“light!”

with a shout.

Spirit beasts fluttered from all sides and gathered in one place.

There were no mistakes or awkwardness because it was thoroughly filmed and pressed with fear and intimidation.

‘Great!’

A near-perfect action.

My chest feels like it’s going to be grand.

But this is not the end.

Because the true climax started right now.

“If the five powers come together as one!”

The voices of the spirit beasts merged into one.

“The Spirit Special Forces!”

Just like superheroes appear. Five spirit beasts gathered in one place.

“Ohhh!”

Jinhyuk jumped up from his seat.

The sweet potato also had twinkling eyes and said, ‘Mosquito. Mosquitoes were fired.

“That’s right. All interns passed!”

Pair! Pair! Pair! Pair! Pair!

Jinhyeok applauded like thunder as if he was sincerely admiring it.

Even if I want to give this a disqualification, I can’t. Because I had a scene that suits the old person corporation more than anyone else.

It was just then that Jinhyeok was admiring it.

[I would like to speak with you in ‘Empire’.]

[I would like to speak with you in ‘Murim’.]

Representatives of the two powers spoke at the same time.

I caught two.

It took.

…this is the game I’ve seen from now on.

Jinhyuk took a breath.
