Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 212

Episode 212. Q&A (1 Q&A) (2)

“…What now?”

“The ruins ‘Tomb of the Antichrist’ located on the 15th floor of the tower. Please tell me the route to the 7th room there.”

He repeated what Gawain calmly said.

Tomb of the Antichrist.

This is the space where the boss monster on the 15th floor, the ‘Weeping Witch’ lives.

This information was known to everyone in the know, but

the problem is that what he is asking for is the 7th room inside the ruins.

There are only 3 holy magic places in the tower.

It was a place where demon kings and demons could be manifested through holy relics.

‘Looking for this place means that I have figured out the location of all the holy relics.’

Or…

‘Are you saying that I’ve already gathered at least the minimum necessary items for manifestation?’

Either way, it meant that the demons who had been quiet for a while weren’t simply playing and eating.

“How do you think I know where it is?”

“Let’s not pretend to be naive. We already know that you are a rotten figure beyond imagination.”

“Thank you for the compliment, but aren’t you overestimating me? You really might not know.”

“Haha. You’re still pretending. However, whether it’s true or not is not for me to judge.”

If you tell a lie, the balance just moves.

The cogs beneath Jinhyeok’s feet began to vibrate violently.

I can’t delay answering any longer.

“If you go to the tomb, there will be a room full of stone statues of various monsters.”

“The penance room… is that what you mean?”

“Yes. Find the place where the goblin statues are gathered. If you look closely, the arrangement of them is in the shape of a cross.”

Having said that, Gawain realized what Jinhyeok was talking about.

“The tomb of the Anti…Christ.”

An upside down cross.

In other words, it meant that the goblin stone statues should also be rearranged in the same shape.

“That way, you’ll find the room you want.”

Jinhyeok finished talking, but Libra didn’t even move.

“You told the truth.”

“I don’t have a hobby of being a rat.”

Jinhyuk shrugged.

This is true.

Death from being crushed to death was a far cry from living a comfortable old age.

And of course.

The same goes for giving him the right information.

‘Trusting in my unique ability against me… that’s the biggest mistake you’ve ever made.’

Gawain’s unique ability, ‘Libra of Trust’.

It sounds plausible on the surface, but in fact, the operating principle is far from supernatural.

Maybe some kind of sophisticated lie detector?

The ability to determine the authenticity of a horse through heart rate, respiratory temperature, etc. was rather close to modern technology.

Of course, knowing that to deceive that unique ability is close to impossible.

The human body is not a machine.

How exactly do you control all of that?

But

it is possible for the deceased.

Because they weren’t normal people.

‘Okay…’

Jinhyeok was already perfectly aware of his biorhythm.

pounding! pounding! pounding!

Maintain body temperature by properly combining ‘glacial molding’ and ‘fire element’.

The volume of breathing was controlled by ‘shallow breathing’.

He even deceived himself and overlaid the truth in order to lie perfectly.

Thus, a new truth was created.

Instead of going to the 7th room, it was the road leading directly to the room where the Witch of Weeping lived.

‘Go and try to manifest the Demon King on the 100th day.’

Can that voice go even close to the demon realm?

Rather, you will feel very painfully how the Witch of Weeping treats those who barge into the living room of someone else’s house.

by the way.

I was about to give up on copying abilities from witches because the conditions for copying can only be achieved by offering a living sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, the sacrificial offerings rolled in through the vines.

‘It could completely kill two birds with one stone.’

Thinking of getting an unexpected chance, Jinhyeok’s lips went up.

“Now, can I ask you a question?”

“Ah, yes… you tell me.”

“Tell me how many players within the Mine Association have changed jobs to ‘Black Apostles’.”

“…!”

From Gawain’s face, which continued to smile.

The smile disappeared in an instant.

＊＊＊

There is a saying that you give in return and receive in words.

This is the situation that fits the maxim.

Gawain bit his lip.

‘In order to obtain information about the 7th room, we were prepared to hand over some information, but…’ I

didn’t expect Jinhyeok to be able to grasp this deep.

That’s what it has to be.

The black apostle was a job that only those who were chosen by the demon king or higher demons could choose, and no one except the demons knew of its existence.

Even within the Mine Association, the hidden class known only to high-ranking executives is the Black Apostle.

‘Even though I was so careful… I wonder if it was this side that was still caught off guard.’

At this point, fear of the opponent naturally rose beyond surprise.

But now he had no time to rebuke himself for his mistake.

Because he had to answer the question as long as he was on the scale.

“Kuk!”

The moment I say this, it becomes clear how many devils and demons have signed contracts with players.

Still, Gawain had to spit out this information.

“Three…”

It’s three…

Surprisingly, I signed a lot of contracts.

Considering the level of the demons and the movements of the devils so far, I guessed at what level they were intervening.

This is valuable information that cannot be converted into money.

“Thanks for the good information.”

Jinhyuk smiled brightly.

At the same time, the balance on the floor slowly disappeared.

Right then.

boom boom!

There was a tumultuous noise outside.

Metals collided and dozens of torches moved in a dizzying manner.

Since they went wild like this, the Empire must have sent guards, unless they were fools.

“It seems like we have to part for today. It’s like giving bones and taking flesh, but I’ll pay for this with Jinhyeok-nim’s life next time.”

“Um. If possible, I want to meet you for a long time without killing you.”

“…what does that mean?”

what does it mean

“It means I don’t want to cut down a tree that gives generously like you.”

A tree that bears many delicious fruits.

In winter, why do you cut down the stumps and then kill the trees that can be used for firewood?

You should use it for as long as possible.

“…I’ll remember those words.”

Since Gawain also achieved the purpose of coming here, he passed Jinhyeok’s provocation moderately.

Then, as if thinking of something, I stopped walking.

“Oh. Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you one thing.”

Gawain glanced at Jinhyeok.

“Did you say Cheon Yoo-seong?”

“Cheon… Yooseong? Why did his name come out all of a sudden?”

“It’s nothing special. Before coming to the Empire, I stopped by Moorim for a while, and I met him by chance there. To be precise, I only saw him from a distance.”

Chun Yu-seong is with Moorim at this timing.

That meant only one thing.

＊＊＊

A gentle breeze blew through the grass.

The fragrant smell of grass stung his nostrils.

“…”

Chun Yuseong stood silently for a long time before slowly closing his eyes.

Swoop…

The sword began to move slowly through the air.

As if dealing with someone invisible, the speed and trajectory of the sword gradually became dazzling.

The object that came to mind was none other than Jinhyeok.

It was the reason he climbed the tower and the purpose of remaining in this world.

‘…must surpass.’

An obsession close to madness.

The desire to defeat him even after giving up everything and to be acknowledged by the target filled his whole body.

Booung!

The speed of the sword increased by one level.

Now, one sword and one sword were imbued with terrifying magic power.

As the outcome of the ‘repentance sword’ unfolded, a sword dance reminiscent of a storm unfolded.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Terrain that cracks inexorably.

The soil is dug up and the grass is cut.

‘beautiful’.

Seeing Chun Yuseong becoming one with the sword, there were no other words to express.

How many minutes have passed since the frantic virtual confrontation?

By the time my whole body was drenched in sweat and my breath was running up to the bottom of my chin.

“It’s amazing. I see, I can see why it’s called the Sword Saint among the players.”

Baek Seol-lin approached with the scent of plum blossoms.

Originally, it was a hostile relationship where they would have to clash swords straight away

.

“I thought I said I’d go down when it was all over?”

“I did. But, I wanted to see it in person. Even if it wasn’t a real fight, it was a match against the opponent you’ve become so obsessed with.”

The depth of the footsteps and the traces of the sword were enough to judge the level of the expected opponent.

Of course, even what the outcome was.

“…I couldn’t get over it. This time too.”

Chun Yuseong lowered his sword.

even though I did my best.

Even if you haven’t made a single mistake.

Again, he failed to defeat Jinhyeok.

No matter how much I reviewed and reviewed again, I couldn’t see a number that could surpass the monster.

“Certainly… the man I met back then was out of shape. If we fight properly, none of the players will be able to cut him down.”

Baek Seol-lin calmly told the truth.

dreaming

Tendons sprouted from Chun Yoo-seong’s forehead.

It was because among the players she mentioned was herself.

“Don’t be too angry. Isn’t that why we came to Chun Yoo-seong? If you realize the skill of the sword and jump over that wall one step further… You too will be able to reach a level that transcends humans.”

“…”

I came to Moorim to become stronger.

To catch up with that absurd sword attack.

In order to surpass the strongest ranker, who thrills just by facing them.

‘The growth period must be further shortened.’

He couldn’t be buried in Jinhyeok’s shadow forever.

at least this time.

“Is that possible? In such a short period of time?”

“You know. It would take a lot of time to break through the wall by normal means at your level of proficiency.”

The climax, the first peak, and the process of going to the top are never smooth.

At least in the early days, through rigorous training and expensive elixirs, he was able to break through the wall half-forcibly.

After that, no matter how much training and elixirs were poured, it was useless.

All that’s left is meditation… Or just gaining enlightenment through sparring with the overwhelmingly strong.

but.

“Are you saying you can bring a master like that to this place?”

In the past, Cheon Yoo-seong even defeated the Maehwa Swordsman, called the best sword of Hwasan.

Of course, in order to reach the level at that time, he had to grow for a long time in the future, but to deal with the monster Kang Jin-hyeok, plum blossom swordsman was not enough.

It has to be a stronger opponent.

however.

Baek Seol-lin smiled confidently.

“There is only one person. Chun Yoo-seong has extensive knowledge about Moorim, so you might know.”

Sabak.

With the soft sound of stepping on blades of grass.

someone has come

And the moment I saw him.

“How could the author be here…”

An earthquake occurred in Chun Yu-seong’s pupil.

A character that should never exist.

A person who could never come to this place has revealed himself.
