Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 27
Episode 27 Owner of the Corrupted Corridor (1)
“That’s funny. I don’t know if Jinjo came here himself. Are you saying that one of your blood relatives will deal with all of us?”
Song Chun-hwa growled at Belus.
The damage would be quite large, but as long as the situation is like this, you can give up the raid and break through the guardian.
It means you don’t have to fight Jinjo.
But to think stupidly that he would follow the enemy’s base.
From Song Chun-hwa’s point of view, it was a nonsense.
“Hmm. Do you really think so? Are you saying I’m not good enough on my own?”
“of course. At most, I’ve already hunted level 50 monsters a few times.”
Jinjo’s normal level is 500 or higher.
However, the blood relatives who followed him were of a much lower level than that.
Should I be in my 50’s or 60’s at the highest?
It’s true that it’s strong, but it was enough to hunt if the position was perfectly equipped.
‘It’s information that was officially released on the board of the management of the Tower of Trials in the past, so this must be true.’
Song Chun-hwa took a confident stance.
“haha. I knew it! I don’t know why humans are so bound by the framework of levels.”
Belus let out a sneer as if he was having fun.
and that moment.
Parts Tsutsu!
A red spark occurred.
The air suddenly changed.
At the same time, the smile on Bellus’ lips disappeared.
“Inferior humans who don’t even know the subject dare to… laugh at me, right?”
[Belus activates Lv11 ‘Blood Bind’!]
It was then that the blood splattered.
Thousands of blood droplets the size of a child’s fist swallowed the tankers in an instant.
“Oops?”
“Uh huh? What is this?”
“Dispel Dispel, hurry up!”
Panicked tankers shouted.
Even after wearing an item that increases magic resistance, the body does not move.
But right before the dispel is used.
Belus grabbed the open palm.
Pupper puffer puck!
Kwadeuk!
Quadduk!
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Aww!”
The tremendous pressure warped the armor.
You don’t even have to check what happened to the person in it.
In the fountain of blood gushing out.
“You bastards! Are you going to stand there and wait for it to die? Move now!”
Song Cheon-hwa ordered the attack.
“shit! Run!”
“You have to kill it before the next magic is cast!”
Nearby dealers filled their seats.
Building an encirclement, they attacked all at once from a blind spot.
Most of them were blocked by a shield made of blood…
but hook! Fu-wook!
Very few swords and spears succeeded in piercing Belus’ body.
Drops of blood dripping down the blade.
But that’s all.
Bellus did not raise an eyebrow.
“It’s disappointing. You should have at least put some divine power on your weapon before attacking.”
End with that.
Bubbubuck!
The bodies of the dealers surrounding Belus were reconciled with a handful of blood.
Crushed pieces of meat fell to the floor.
The attack doesn’t work.
On the other hand, the opponent’s attack was so powerful that it overwhelmed the entire raid.
“How can blood relatives be so strong…”
Song Chun-hwa muttered in disbelief.
Then, suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
If only one blood relative had this much power.
Just how strong is the true ancestor that drives it?
I couldn’t even imagine.
Even if you lead all the top players who are attacking the boss on the 3rd floor.
I couldn’t be sure if I would dare to succeed in the raid.
“…”
Song Chun-hwa lowered her shield.
I have to live right now.
I had to survive to spread this news outside.
“Are you surrendering?”
“Before that, let me ask you one thing.”
“Question… OK. Let me tell you.”
“Why are you dragging us away?”
For Bellus, annihilating the raid didn’t seem too difficult.
If I put my mind to it, it wouldn’t take an hour.
But why are you doing such a bothersome thing?
“To use you as bait.”
“Bait?”
“There is a human that our master is interested in, but one of them knows how to handle divine power. So I decided to write a simpler method.”
This is… a story about Teresa.
Was it her after all?
The situation was hopeless, but Song Cheon-hwa’s head quickly began to search for possibilities.
‘If the paladin Teresa would join us…’
Very possibly, he might be able to create a gap.
A gap that will make you get out of this place alive rather than fighting and winning.
The worry didn’t last long.
“…i get it. Follow me.”
Song Chun-hwa nodded.
Then he stabbed his own palm with his thumb nail.
[The emergency call scroll has been activated.]
[The designated target is ‘Teresa de Laurencia.]
The blue status window blinked.
The only thing I believe in now is this.
Song Chun-hwa prayed earnestly in his heart.
Please….
Hoping that all of this situation will be conveyed to her as it is.
＊＊＊
True ancestor Alice von Ataraxia.
She is also one of the strongest in the Tower of Trials.
no it was strong
He was corrupted because he broke the taboo of his clan.
As a result, he was exiled to the lowest floor of the tower.
That is why the name of the ruins is ‘The Corridor of the Fallen’.
In the sense of the royal palace located in the abyss where Alice and her few blood relatives live.
‘It’s a story unknown to the world.’
Jinhyuk slowly opened his closed eyes.
Then, a status window appeared in front of me.
It was a kind of invitation that came in the form of a personal quest a moment ago.
[The Master of the Corridor invites you.]
[If you want to save the players and couriers belonging to the raid, come to the innermost room.] [
Difficulty: None
Reward: Meeting with the Master of the Corridor
Content: Accept the quest If you do, all monsters and traps that exist until the last room will stop.]
“What are you going to do…?”
Teresa glanced at Jinhyeok.
You are bound by a contract, so of course you have to go help.
It was not Jinhyeok who came as a non-combat porter.
Waiting without doing anything like this.
A few days later, when the rescue team breaks through the Guardian, it’s enough to go outside.
Jinhyuk shrugged.
“well. What should I do?”
“yes?”
“I don’t really want to risk it, but if you earnestly ask, I might go with you.”
“If you’re asking… which one?”
“What is that? You only need to indicate your last name appropriately. I heard that you have a pretty strong subscriber base?”
Jinhyuk curled his fingers.
knowing everything
What are the players like?
Go with coins, not money.
If you fill in the 5-digit number and give it to me, the dying motivation will rise.
“Bad taste. Didn’t you have something to see the boss anyway?”
Chun Yoo-seong, who was watching, clicked his tongue.
“Oh, that’s it. This is it. It’s not that I’m touting it, I just asked Teresa for her opinion, right? Besides, aren’t you going out of the ruins?”
“okay. The purpose of my coming here has already failed.”
“Then go quietly. Don’t sprinkle red pepper powder on a heartwarming transaction.”
Jinhyeok shook his hand as if it was annoying.
Then, Chun Yoo-seong made an even more pitiful expression.
“…Sometimes I feel that way. I wonder if I can become strong only if I act viciously like you.”
this child?
“Whoa. done. Let’s not talk.”
If I tell you, it only hurts me.
Besides, he wasn’t wrong.
Jinhyeok let out a sigh and opened his mouth to Teresa.
“so. What are you going to do?”
“For a coin… will you come rescue the raid with me?”
“I can’t promise much, but at least I’ll make sure you don’t think 10,000 coins is a waste.”
10,000 coins.
It’s an outrageous demand to the extent that anyone who hears it will start cursing.
At this point, people who have accumulated 10,000 coins must have been counted on their hands.
However, if they could save the entire raid, it was an amount they could pay.
The only thing that bothers me is…
“Aren’t you afraid of Jinhyeok?”
It’s not a normal raid, but a situation where you have to face the pinnacle of a species.
Coins when you die.
All the relics are useless.
Even so.
“well. Should I be afraid?”
Jinhyuk smiled strangely.
so casual
It’s a smile as if he knows what the outcome will be.
“…”
Theresa pursed her lips.
A statement closer to arrogance than confidence.
Why?
pounding! pounding! pounding!
Teresa’s heart beat faintly with strange anticipation.
Now you have to choose.
Should I follow the theory of probability or…
should I trust my intuition.
It was just then that the troubles continued.
“I’ll just go for it. I think it will take quite a while to break through the Guardian.”
Chun Youseong turned around with his iron sword drawn.
“ah. one thing.”
Then, thinking about something, I paused for a moment.
“If you are having trouble making a decision, listen as a reference.”
He glanced at Jinhyuk with a somewhat displeased and displeased expression.
“I don’t know if that guy will be able to beat Jinjo.”
Since it was a third party standing by the sidelines, the outcome could not be guaranteed.
“but.”
Because he was the one who exchanged swords countless times.
And because you know each other better than anyone else.
Only one thing could be predicted.
“If he can’t get over it, no player in existence can defeat Jinjo.”
The swordsman of the past.
The player who will become the future swordsman acknowledged it.
Who is the most outstanding player currently in the Tower of Trials?
And if you can join that player with 10,000 coins.
It’s also that it’s never a losing business.
“It was an insignificant monologue. Of course, the decision isn’t mine.”
Chun Yoo-seong muttered, and resumed his stopped steps.
“…Thanks for the advice.”
Theresa nodded.
And as if he had made up his mind, he slightly bent his knees toward Jinhyeok.
“I will make a contract. Please fight with me.”
＊＊＊
[You have accepted the quest. (2/2 players)]
[The monsters go to sleep.]
[The trap stops operating.]
Kuku kuku kung!
The various traps and monsters that protected the entire ruins were silent.
Thanks to that, the road was pretty smooth.
Because it compressed the journey that should have taken at least a few weeks into a few hours.
[Magic power increases by +12]
Little by little, Jinhyeok absorbed the ‘frozen tears’ Teresa thawed.
[Frozen Tears]
Obtain Difficulty: SS
Absorbable Magic Power: 100
Description: Essence that can be obtained at the ‘End of the World’ on the 7th floor of the Tower of Trials. When absorbed, it greatly increases magic power, but if it does not go through a specific purification process, it inflicts fatal wounds on the user.]
‘…It’s really nice.’
A whopping 12 stats.
In terms of level, it’s like raising 4 levels.
Jinhyeok felt a clear change in magic through his whole body.
When I activated the ‘Grave of Swords’, it was painful as if the entire blood vessel would be torn.
Now the pain is less.
I guess that’s why everyone is manatong manatong.
‘The total amount is 100, so if I can absorb all of these…’
Chun Yoo-seong’s ‘Sword’s Tomb’ and Teresa’s ‘Star Protection’, as well as other rankers’ unique abilities and skills, will be able to be used to their heart’s content.
‘Theresa’s 12 stats are the limit for thawing, so I guess I’ll have to be content with this for the time being.’
12 18 30 40.
Total 4 steps like this.
Depending on the skill that can alleviate coldness, the amount that can be absorbed varies.
It means that you need a person with a higher skill or a special item to go to the next level.
‘Well, I’ll think about this later.’
Right now, you need to focus on what’s right in front of you.
Jinhyeok followed the memories of the past in his head.
countless challenges and failures.
And with the only bow I found at the end.
also.
No matter how you think about it, there is only one way to beat Alice.
It was by no means an easy thorny road.
I have to break through somehow.
There’s not much left now.
The aisle began to get wider and wider.
