Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 195
Episode 195. Rising Fire (1)
24th floor of the Tower of Trials.
Inside the castle, which was turned into ruins due to Murim’s attack, bodies were piled up in piles.
The smoke billowing and the groans of the wounded told us how brutal the battle had been.
And…
there were two men from the watchtower looking down on the whole scene.
With Namgung Jin-ho, the family head of the Namgung family.
It was Namgungcheon who led the Chinese Guild in China.
“This work was a lot of hard work. Thanks to your efforts, you easily took one of the enemy’s bases.”
“Nothing special… I just did what the headmistress told me to do.”
“Cheukkeokkeokkeok! Being humble while destroying one of the Empire’s proud knights alone… Indeed, it was the right decision to welcome you as a member of the Namgung family.”
Namgung Jinho looked at Namgungcheon with a soft expression.
Originally, the Chinese Guild was nothing more than a tool to expand the power of Murim. Even that was almost useless after it was halved by the 3 Despairs.
however.
only one.
It was too wasteful to throw away Namgungcheon as it is.
Although he is a foreigner of the top and does not inherit Moorim’s lineage, it is because his innate talent and skills are excessively excellent.
Therefore, Namgung Jin-ho gave Namgung-cheon the true name of ‘Namgung’, taught him the sword, and perfected him.
‘Now Hyun-i and the rest of the later indexes are to the point where they can’t compete with Cheon-i. If we knew it would be like this, we should have had this child right away.’
Murim… Among them, as the sword of the 5th Sega and the 9th faction.
Someday, it will be possible to turn the empire into a sea of fire and slaughter all the Safa and Demonic Cultists who had no choice but to join hands.
When he imagined that, a fishy smile appeared on Jinho Namgung’s lips.
It’s not too long now.
The day when that grand dream will come true.
“We have to destroy one more of their strongholds within today. The Moorim Alliance promised to support seven top-notch masters, including ‘Shin Yeong-dae’. How, can we do that?”
“Yes. I will definitely succeed.”
Namgungcheon also saw blazing fire soaring in its eyes.
It is a difficult line to catch.
In a world that has completely changed. I will definitely grab the golden rope that can go up and go up.
However, something suddenly passed through Namgungcheon’s mind as he was clenching his fist.
“But, the head of the household.”
“Why?”
“What do you think he will do?”
Namgungcheon mentioned another person.
Namgung Jin-ho also knew who the target was, even if he didn’t have to say it.
Kang Jin-hyeok.
The strongest and worst ranker.
It was all because of him that the Chinese guild collapsed, and there was a record of several clashes with Murim.
A dangerous person of interest.
If left alone, there was no doubt that it would act as a big variable in this war.
“Don’t worry. The players won’t be interested in getting involved in this.”
“…So you have a plan.”
“Yes. So you just have to do your job well.”
There’s nothing wrong with plans.
Because the entire Murim had already completed their perfect hunting preparations for this day.
***
In the ‘psychiatric ward’ located on the 5th floor of the Tower of Ordeal, Jinhyeok, Alice, and Andrea were having a heated conversation.
There is only one subject.
It’s about the part ‘How should I behave to become a great boss monster?’
As Caracal of the Frostblade Tribe and the rest of the trolls also played a big role in breaking through the 8th and 9th floors, Jinhyeok was thinking of raising Andria, one of the hidden cards.
That’s why I called Ellis, the presidential candidate, with me.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”
Andrea greeted Jinhyeok and Ellis with a bright face.
hey
She was once a frightened girl among fanatics.
Now, I still feel the elegance of a boss.
Looking at the leaves made of laurel and the clothes made of white cloth… how to say. Is it like a goddess from Greek mythology?
Seeing them side by side with Elise made me think they were like sisters.
Although the difference was that one was compliant and the other was tactful.
‘Still, it’s been a while since I’ve come here, so I feel friendly and it’s nice.’
Jinhyuk slowly looked around.
The gloomy and dark interior has not changed much from when I came here before.
The madness of the fanatics had diminished a bit, but it still struck me that this was a psychiatric ward.
“How are you these days? The upper stairs are open, but there will still be players who are bothering you?”
“Eight of the bosses in charge of the 11 rooms lost their lives to the players. There are three left, including me, but everyone is just looking at each other.”
Whoa. Have you lost that much already?
As time goes by, it seems that the level of the players is also increasing.
“Are the owners of the prison and the deserted island the ones who survived? They’re also on the shit line right now.”
“Yes. At this rate, sooner or later, all regions will be occupied. The general opinion is to gather the remaining forces as one. Of course, we do not want to be absorbed by each other, so we are only checking the situation.”
therefore.
His life is in danger because of the players who are getting stronger, but it hurts his pride to go under someone by allying himself.
what would this mean
Certainly, it would be difficult to stop the players who grow on the 5th floor as time goes by.
In the end, it was necessary to grow Andrea faster than now.
Not only for Andrea… but also for my future.
Right then.
“Don’t worry. This body will give you special tutoring.”
Elise’s confident voice came right next to her.
Oh oh.
After all, does that guy have the qualities of a good teacher?
Jinhyeok turned his head with an excited face.
however.
“Haa…”
The moment he saw Ellis, Jinhyeok couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.
“how is it?”
Elise wore black horn-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and a black skirt with a strange smile.
It seemed that the hair was curled up and prepared with great determination.
Besides, Belus was also with him, as if he had been summoned from the necklace before he knew it.
That guy is also a spectacle…
he’s dressed up in Indiana Jones’ outfit.
To the tangled hair and half-untilted shirt-skin whip. It was exactly what you would see in a movie.
In the meantime, hanging out is more absurd.
Anyway, this is why I don’t like guys with superior genes….
Jinhyeok pressed his temple with his index finger.
“They say that this is the true face of a teacher that is popular among people other than the tower. They say that this increases the learning efficiency by 50%?”
“What kind of madman said that?”
“Viewtube! I looked for something on your laptop last night.”
It’s like the fucking viewtube algorithm.
“Okay. Let me stop talking. Just tell me what to do.”
“It’s a method we often use… We fight and fight until we collapse from exhaustion up here.”
Alice slightly bit her finger.
Awesome!
Drops of blood seemed to flow out, but soon a huge barrier was formed on the floor.
[Ellis is Lv?? Realizing the ‘Field of Blood’!]
A barrier that maximizes the experience and realization when fighting inside the barrier.
It was a fighting arena mainly used by the younger blood relatives of the Ataraxia family to perform the rite of passage.
“Are you fighting with me… sister?”
Andrea looked carefully at Elise.
Although he usually sparred with Ellis, there is a big difference in skill between the two.
Elise mainly enjoyed long-distance battles, so her compatibility with Andrea, who specialized in close-range battles, was not good.
It means more time to be beaten than to learn.
Considering that…
“No, I’ll do it.”
Alice is not suited for this job.
Jinhyeok took out the ‘fang’ from the subspace inventory.
Swoop.
The greenish dagger wrapped around his right hand gently.
“Jinhyeok… to tell me about myself…”
Andrea clenched her fists with an embarrassed face.
From her point of view, Jinhyeok is truly a god.
He is the savior who changed the gloomy past.
Because he was a ranker who wiped out the psychiatric ward with overwhelming prowess, the impression Andrea felt was more intense than he could have imagined.
Andrea also held two 30 cm long daggers in each hand.
Still, it seemed that he had trained quite a bit with Elise, and his posture was so solid that it was incomparable to the first time he met.
After becoming the boss, I didn’t even need to talk about the increase in magic power.
“I won’t look at you, so you try your best too.”
“Yes. I’ll try my best.”
Andrea nodded.
starting with it.
fault!
Andrea moved first.
The distance was shortened in an instant by using the vampire’s unique teleportation technique.
The dagger, which rotated counterclockwise, aimed at Jinhyeok’s torso.
Kaaang!
The two swords crossed with a cheerful metallic sound.
What followed was a spectacular sword dance that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
before and after.
Each attack was so fierce that it was colorless to say that it was sparring.
To the extent that if a stranger saw it, they would believe that they were fighting a real sword fight.
however.
An attack like that. Jinhyeok accepted it very leisurely.
Kakakakakang!
‘Kuu!’
Andrea bit her lip.
Up until now, he had devoted himself to training day and night to become a more perfect boss monster.
In order to catch up with Jinhyeok even by one step.
In order to be of any help to Jinhyeok on his way.
I literally risked my life and devoted myself to becoming stronger.
Even so.
‘It can’t be narrowed down.’
The huge wall when I first saw it hadn’t lowered in the slightest.
Rather, the more the attack, the more the despair deepened.
The difference in skill between the two was obvious.
Despite the difference in skill between the two, Jinhyeok well controlled the speed and depth of the sparring so that Andrea could unleash her full potential.
At eye level education, it is almost perfect.
***
Elise, who was watching, also shook her head as if she was stunned.
“Really, that guy gets stronger every time I see him fight. If I keep going like this, I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it even if my seal is broken, right?”
“Ellis…sama. What is that! No matter how much it is. Comparing a human to Ellis-sama…” “You
really think so? Impossible?”
Well, it’s funny to say this in itself. The absolute
leader of the tower.
The strongest lineage.
The existence that even the six families feared was the existence of Ellis von Ataraxia.
But why?
Ellis instinctively I felt that
there wasn’t much time left for that fancy modifier to last.
As time passed, a new rank would emerge among the numerous strong men in the tower.
‘It’s not too bad though.’
She didn’t hurt her pride.
Because…
that strong person was the person she signed a contract with.
And that person will remember the promise she made.
With that thought, Elise stretched her arms for a long time as if satisfied
. If you don’t know, just watch. It looks different depending on the original level.”
“Okay…”
Belus nodded reluctantly.
But.
The Dalian, which was supposed to drag on a little longer, ended unexpectedly abruptly.
[Video call request has arrived.]
A status window appeared in front of Jinhyeok.
The sender was Teresa.
The place was Europe.
By the way,
that Europe… from what everyone knew, so many things had changed.
