Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 262
Episode 262. The Seven Deadly Sins (3)
“…what do you mean by a plan that benefits us all?”
Nirasha’s hand stopped.
An even deeper smile formed on Tristan’s lips.
“Kang Jin-hyeok.”
the name of a person.
That’s enough.
As expected, Nirasha’s face changed noticeably.
“…Are you trying to get rid of that human? Hand in hand with you guys?”
“Aren’t you guys also hurt by Kang Jin-hyeok? We are grinding our teeth as well.”
“Definitely killing that guy is the gift I want the most for this Christmas.
If the ultimate goal of players climbing the tower is to prevent the destruction of mankind, the demons’ first concern is to make the demons appear in this world.
Even if that wasn’t the case, there must be more harm than good to be with former criminals who are all wanted.
“Well, that’s true, but all of that will happen only when our alliance is known to the outside world.”
“If you think you can prevent information leaks in ruins that can even go live, then you think you’re mistaken too much, right?”
“It’s not an illusion. Of course, it’s not groundless bullshit either.”
Because…
“We are currently with the owner of the ruins.”
A great witch who is fluent in curses and barriers.
If it was a boss monster that made as many as seven gate guardians that it was not easy to command one…. It
could also open a barrier that could interfere with the broadcasting system.
The sneer completely disappeared from Nirasha’s face.
A union of boss monsters, mine associations, and higher guilds.
“Certainly… if that’s the case, there’s a possibility.”
It’s not a level that only one player can stop.
Even with the power of a single country, it won’t be easy.
“Can I take that to mean that you will be with us?”
“First, listen to the plan.”
I said that, but my heart was already half tilted.
Just a little bit of confidence here.
“What Nirasha and the Gandhara guild need to do is simple. Cut off their supply and rear support, and we’ll take care of the rest.”
“As for supplies… the Olympus Guild?”
“Yes. That’s it.”
Currently, the second raid consisted of four people including Jinhyeok and players from Olympus.
It was a form of four people in charge of the attack and the rest in charge of the rear…
If they could annihilate the back, the guys in the front would be completely isolated.
In a word, it means a rat in a poison.
“I wonder if you’ve been silent until now to pull it in as deeply as possible. It’s fun. I never thought the demons would be so patient.”
“Isn’t it a light job? There’s almost no risk since you can just take care of the small ones without losing the main body.”
“Okay… But. We’re not going to hit Olympus alone.”
“No way, are you asking for support? If it’s you, you can wipe out the rear enough alone, why?”
“I want to create a corner where I can step out if the plan fails by any chance. At least I won’t show up there.”
Nirasha drew a line as if he couldn’t concede this much.
Eventually, Tristan took a step back.
“Then, let’s support one of the apostles on our side. The one in charge of ‘Wrath’. And Gawain will also help you.”
Support from the apostles and Mine cadres.
That’s enough.
not enough

Kuku kuk kuku!
The stone walls throughout the ruins moved simultaneously.
The obstacles in the way disappeared in an instant, and the various monsters that were rampaging to protect the area disappeared like smoke.
clear road.
“Brother… is this a bit strange?”
“Hyung. All the bugs are gone.”
Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min spat out one word at a time.
“I don’t even feel the magic response around me. I think I’ve lifted all the barriers and traps throughout the ruins…”
Maria, who was using detection magic, also made a face that she couldn’t understand.
On the other hand.
A strange laugh came out of Jinhyuk’s mouth.
‘indeed. Are you going to come out like this?’
this is an invitation
If you are confident, please come forward.
Although it was obvious that the bait was being sprayed openly, it probably means that they prepared a lot.
There is no reason to refuse when they say that they will pave the way for you to go anyway.
Rather, it saved me time, so I am thankful for this side.
“Let’s go.”
“No, brother. Doesn’t this look like a trap? Let’s just go?”
It’s a trap…
“It’s a trap if you can tightly tighten your breath.”
It’s just a house game, hoping it will happen.
“If it’s late, will you leave it?”
Jinhyeok took the lead.
“Hyung’s confidence is really… ha. I’m going. I’m going.”
Then, three people shook their heads followed.
how much did it go in?
After passing through a long passage, the place he arrived at was a room full of stone statues of countless monsters.
A place called the so-called penance room.
This is the final gateway to the Witch of Weeping.
At the same time, it was also the place guarded by the trickiest of the seven deadly sins.
It was then that I heard a voice full of phlegm
.
cooong! cooong! cooong!
Between the stone statues, an apostle with a height of over 3m appeared.
Tusks protruding from the green skin.
His bulging stomach and muscular arms were quite impressive.
But the thing that caught my eye the most was the huge cart he was pulling.
The wagon full of unidentified bizarre chunks of meat and plants seemed to tell us why he was called the ‘Apostle of Gluttony’.
Tring!
A purple status window appeared in front of everyone.
[In order to inflict effective attacks on the Apostle of Gluttony, you must consume the ingredients in the cart it is pulling.] [
Other than that, the effects of all unique abilities and skills are nullified.]
The meat and plants in the cart contain ‘Pectechrosin’. There is a special ingredient called ‘, but I had to melt it into magic to damage that apostle.
The problem is….
Aside from the terrible appearance of those ingredients, they have such a terrible aroma and taste that even an ordinary human would not be able to bring them close to their mouths.
No matter how strong a person is, it is never impossible.
“You want me to eat that?”
Maria took a step backwards with a white face.
“Variety. Really.”
“If that’s the only way, I’ll have to try… It’ll be a headache.”
Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who had all kinds of experiences, also swallowed dry saliva.
Right then.
“Goooooooo!”
The Disciple of Gluttony discovered the intruder and pulled out a mace from inside the cart.
The distance narrowed in an instant.
Quaang!
The mace grazed Jinhyeok’s head and shattered the stone statue of the monster behind him.
‘It’s still fast.’
Inappropriate for its size, it moves like a swallow filled with water.
If I hadn’t known the characteristic of the little toe converging inward by about 3 degrees before maximizing acceleration, I might have broken my head.
But the attack did not end there.
It’s only just begun.
“Gwaaaaaa!”
The Apostle of Gluttony swung his mace once more.
This time too, Jinhyeok let go of the attack by slightly opening the angle.
No, I thought I spilled it over.
profit!
A sharp pain felt in the shoulder.
It’s not because of withdrawal.
His skin burned as he touched the green smoke that rose around the mace.
“Did you pick up only the spoiled ones and then get poisoned?”
Jinhyuk widened his distance.
According to the explanation of the system, this side’s normal attack didn’t work, so there was no sharp way other than avoiding it.
At least until I ate that food.
Of course, knowing how to do it and being able to practice it were completely different matters.
“Ooh, ooh…! Tongue, brother. This… yuck!”
“It’s not at the level of Bob Police, it’s at the level of the Prosecutor’s Office. This is how you’re going to eat this!”
Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who were gritting their teeth and trying to shove in food, spat out what they had been chewing.
Soft gray chunks of meat fell to the floor.
No matter how urgent the situation is, I can’t eat this.
Suddenly, the apostle of gluttony stretched out his hand toward the cart.
It’s like saying food should be eaten this way.
“Gruru gwaaaaa!”
Ugh! Ugh!
A chunk of meat slid down my throat.
[Attack power increases by +10!]
[Agility increases by +12!]
[Movement speed increases by +8!]
Status windows appear one after another.
The more you eat, the higher your stats.
It wouldn’t be an illusion that his already thick arms seemed to have gotten a little bigger.
“It’s… delicious. It’s all good, but chew it thoroughly. Chew it.”
Jinhyeok smiled bitterly.
“Goooooooo!”
The Apostle of Gluttony, who had roared wildly, started rampaging once more.
＊＊＊
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Kwaaang!
Unlike the apostle of gluttony, who became more and more energetic, the party was struggling.
I know the only strategy, but I can’t use it, so of course I have to do that.
They were running around between the stone statues, but it was only a matter of time before they caught up.
So let’s overwhelmingly focus on one side…
“Now I’ve calmed down a bit.”
“I felt like my stomach was going to be twisted watching them break into someone else’s room and go wild. Now I have to think about how to kill them in the most painful way.”
A new voice broke in.
Creepy!
the air freezes
An ominous and dark energy began to encroach on the room full of stone statues.
I couldn’t ignore the black-haired beauty walking in front of me, but the real danger was a white-haired old woman wearing a worn-out robe.
The apostles I’ve dealt with so far can’t even compare.
this horsepower.
this feeling.
…no doubt
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
‘That old woman is a weeping witch.’
With thousands of faces, I wondered what kind of appearance he would come up with this time.
‘That old woman must be a weeping witch.’
We finally met.
The most important party in this raid.
“The famous demons and bosses hide behind us and only come out when we run out of stamina? Aren’t we being too cowardly?”
“Whoops. Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say wise?”
“…you?”
“My name is Tristan. Let’s say he’s a colleague of Lancelot who faced you.”
To say he’s simply a colleague seems to have something a little more emotional about him.
What’s certain is that he doesn’t seem to have any intention of letting go.
Jinhyeok glanced sideways at the entrance of the ruins. “If you’re expecting support, I’d like to tell you to give up.” ”
Why is that?”
“I’m going to the side where Olympus is, because the Guild, Gawain, and the Apostle in charge of Wrath all went .
Well, seeing her so flustered, I didn’t think there was a need for a pincer attack.
”
Tristan shrugged
.
Just having the boss of the Mine and the ruins hold hands is an amazing thing, but I never dreamed that they would even betray the Gandhara guild. If this is true, there is no hope. The power difference was so serious that it was impossible to compete with them at
all
. .After
being thoroughly defeated individually, it will end up being surrounded from the front and back.
But..
Even in the situation where everyone was in despair, Jinhyeok was still smiling.
“There are two things you are misunderstanding. It was the same for me who was dragging the time.”
“Hmm. You mean you did it on purpose?”
“I had to wait for you guys to crawl out. If you manage to curl your tail and run away, it will be quite a hassle to track down.” To
hunt perfectly, it’s best to make the other person think that you are a hunter, not a prey. A
clumsy illusion was the biggest reason for being careless. “Secondly, I already knew that you would join hands with Gandhara.”
The
demons had thought of all the possible options.
I knew that they would be with the Witch of Wailing, but that alone was enough to guarantee victory. It must have been difficult,
so it was not difficult to predict that he would approach Nirasha, who was obsessed with an inferiority
complex. Because the basis of tactics is to cut off support from the rear and weaken the force.”
It is the standard of the standard.
But….
Standard also means that it is as easy to predict.
Are you saying that I predicted all of that? If you’re thinking of swaying us by belatedly fitting the situation together, you’re seriously mistaken.”
“It may or may not be a bluff. You’ll find out in a little while anyway. Which of the two do I say?”
“That… what do you mean?”
Tristan’s voice trembled
slightly .
It means.”
I’ve called in reliable reinforcements.
Maybe… they’ll be much stronger than what you prepared for?
