Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 5
Episode 5 National Museum of Korea (2)
Took! Took!
“Eat it.”
Jinhyeok patted the tiger on the back twice.
OK.
“Kuaaaaa!”
A beast with a huge body kicked the ground.
The distance narrowed in an instant.
Perpuck! Puffer Buck!
The jackals’ bodies were torn apart like paper.
It is truly an overwhelming force.
“Keep it!”
“Yaeng!”
Like ants attacking dinosaurs, the five incarnations defending Egypt passed away without even a slight resistance.
＊＊＊
Rumbling!
Yuri’s body trembled uncontrollably.
“This can’t be like this. My summons are so futile…”
It was absurd.
I was sure it was the strongest hand.
I thought it would be no problem to get Daedongyeojido from the museum…
but why the hell?
I don’t know why.
The only thing that was certain was the fact that the man in front of her was stagnant beyond imagination.
“you. How high did you climb the tower?”
“well. What floor do you want to go to?”
“Please stand. You didn’t go beyond the 20th floor, did you?”
“…”
Jinhyeok didn’t answer.
“21st floor. 22nd floor…. Or maybe it’s the 2nd 23rd floor? The 23rd floor?”
Yuri continued to ask.
It’s cute to raise one floor at a time.
I’m about to run out of breath just talking about the 20th floor.
How would you react if you said you had reached the 50th floor?
‘Are you going to faint with foam at the mouth?’
I’m curious, but I’ll pass that on to the next opportunity.
“I don’t think it’s time to ask what floor I’ve been up to?”
Jinhyeok approached Lee Yu-ri.
Yuuri startled and shuddered.
“You want to kill me?”
“I have no hobby of killing a frightened newbie.”
I graduated a long time ago to giggle while doing Western school.
“Everyone says you’re a newbie! Me too…!”
“Yes, yes. okay because Give me ‘Tutankhamun’s mask’ among the artifacts I got from the Egyptian exhibit.”
At Jinhyeok’s words, Lee Yu-ri widened her eyes.
“It’s useless in Korea, so what are you going to use it for?”
“You don’t even know about that. If you don’t want to camp in the belly of a tiger tonight, just put it out.”
Jinhyuk glanced at the tiger next to him.
“Kreurreu…”
After he had already chewed and swallowed the jackals, his mouth was covered in blood.
He was afraid of appearing in a dream.
“You can give it to me. Give it!”
Yuri reluctantly took out the mask she had put in her bag.
Pharaoh’s mask made of gold.
[You have acquired the holy relic (replica) ‘Tutankhamun’s Mask’.]
‘Okay.’
Following the first relic obtained on the first floor before coming here, I secured the second relic with this one.
“Are you also aiming for Daedongyeojido?”
“map?”
right. there was something like that
I didn’t even pay attention to it, so I forgot about it.
Information up to the 10th floor is written on it or something.
“I’ll let you do that.”
Jinhyeok smiled and stroked the tiger’s back one last time.
“I’m well guarded here. Let no one follow you.”
“Kwaaang!”
A tiger guarded the entrance to the stairway to the next floor.
then.
‘Shall we go?’
Jinhyeok went upstairs up the stairs.
＊＊＊
“This is really… unexpected.”
When I went upstairs, Min Jung-woo was waiting for me.
It looks pretty startled.
I didn’t think I could have imagined that Yuri would break through.
But to my surprise, this was the same.
“Why are you here without going inside?”
The purpose must have been Daedongyeojido.
I couldn’t understand why he was lingering here.
“I wanted to do the same, but someone put a barrier in front of me.”
Min Jeong-woo stretched out his hand toward the air.
Fighting!
The hand bounced off.
“Both physical attacks and magic are useless. It’s the first time I’ve seen this type of barrier.”
I guess so.
“It’s a one-star barrier.”
“Hoo. Do you know about this?”
“Roughly…”
Unlike the barriers installed around the museum, this is a ‘real’ barrier.
It means a barrier created through skill.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
‘As expected.’
I know of a player who uses this ability often.
There were too many of them in the game.
Jinhyeok, who was lost in thought for a moment, opened his mouth.
“I know how to break it. step.”
“step?”
“The old man must continue to use the flame magic. That way you can weaken the barrier.”
“How long?”
“Until I go and get all the relics I need and come out again.”
“haha. therefore. Can I use magic outside the barrier while you are inside?”
hey quick to understand
I want to give it a stamp of ‘You did very well’.
“I understand you don’t believe it, but this is the only way. The day will be bright soon, but we can’t all go out empty-handed, can we?”
I went to high school, but there was no income.
That would be the worst possible outcome.
“Of course, I will give you the map. I need more than that.”
“…”
Min Jeong-woo kept his mouth shut.
Which one is better to choose?
Which one should I choose?
I started calculating in my head.
But no matter how much you think about it, there is only one conclusion.
I have no choice but to believe
It’s embarrassing for Min Jeong-woo, but what can I do? that’s the only way
“Are you sure you hand over the map?”
“Sure. I also don’t want to remain hostile to magicians with unique abilities.”
“Okay… I see. Trust me.”
In the end, Min Jeong-woo made the decision.
“Please don’t rest and keep going. Or I’ll be locked inside.”
“I will try my best.”
Jinhyeok stood in front of the barrier.
And I found the most vulnerable point of the barrier.
A place where the flow of magical power is distorted.
‘It’s here.’
…carpo.
Latin written in blood shone.
“Now!”
Roaring!
At Jinhyeok’s words, Min Jung-woo spewed a stream of fire.
The hot flame quickly heated the surface of the barrier.
right at that moment.
Parts Tsutsu!
A crack began to appear in the middle of the barrier.
‘done.’
Jinhyeok quickly entered the barrier.
“Hurry up.”
Min Jeong-woo broke out in a cold sweat.
“All right.”
I intend to make an effort.
‘In my own way.’
＊＊＊
Unlike the lower floor, the exhibition hall on this floor shows no signs of being touched.
no.
Exactly, there was only one thing that changed.
‘I’ve already finished my business and left.’
Jinhyeok looked at the empty showcase.
It was a display case where the ‘iron sword engraved with Qianlong’ had been kept a while ago.
Whether or not people fight elsewhere.
He must have left after securing only what he wanted.
‘It’s still true that I’m not willing to take even the slightest risk.’
It just skips out what looks most delicious, isn’t it?
But even that guy probably doesn’t know.
The fact that what was taken from this museum is only a second-class artifact.
‘I remember it was at this point…’
Jinhyeok walked through the exhibition halls.
Then it stopped in one place.
A round circular artifact made of rusted iron.
Sangpyeong Tongbo (常平通寶).
It was created during the reign of King Injo of the Joseon Dynasty and was used until the latter half of the year.
Of course, it now had more value than just currency.
‘I finally found it.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
A unique ability only for you.
And the last piece of the puzzle you need for that.
Finally everything is in hand.
It was then.
“What are you doing right now!?”
Min Jeong-woo, who was outside the barrier, shouted.
“What are you doing?”
“Why did you stop at the wrong thing without first securing Daedongyeojido?”
“Wait a minute. It’s not like the map has feet. I’ll solve mine first and then wrap it up nicely.”
To interrupt at a critical time.
Jinhyeok sat down leisurely.
And the relics he got from the museum were lined up on the floor.
‘The Mask of Tutankhamun (B)’.
What is needed here is the part corresponding to the ‘right eye’.
Wood deok!
After digging out the eye part with a knife, it was placed in the ‘Persian Ceremonial Mold (E)’.
[The two relics respond.]
A short message appeared.
It was a message that only appeared when the right relics met.
at the same time.
It also meant that if you wanted to proceed further, you had to pay a reasonable price for it.
Patter!
Jinhyeok dropped 15 ‘Sangpyeong Tongbo (D)’ he was holding in his hand onto the mold.
OK.
Whoa!
An indescribable energy began to flow from the mold.
[3 Holy Relics respond!]
[Fusion succeeded!]
[You have acquired the Holy Relic, ‘Eye of Truth (SS)’!]
[Eye of Truth]
Difficulty to obtain: SS
Description: View the status window of others can and You can determine the ‘true/false’ of what the target said (3 times a day).
‘It’s a success!’
pounding! pounding! pounding!
Jinhyuk’s heart beat like crazy.
Five ‘eyes’ that exist in this world.
Among them, ‘Eyes of Truth’ was evaluated as the best eye.
That’s right.
A special effect was attached to these eyes to determine the authenticity of what others said three times a day.
It is an effect that can be said to be fraudulent.
However, it wasn’t just because she obtained the ‘Eye of Truth’ that she was so excited.
It was because he knew that an even greater reward would follow in a moment.
[You have succeeded in fusion by breaking through the extreme odds.]
[You have achieved a feat.]
[You have acquired the unique ability ‘Fusion (Overrank)’!]
Fuse 3 replicas of grade B or lower to create an item of grade S or higher. .
This was the condition for obtaining the unique ability ‘Fusion’.
and.
Among countless relics and items, there is only one case where this combination is possible.
It’s only when you combine those three.
[Trait ‘Convergence’]
Obtainability Difficulty: Unmeasurable (Overrank)
Description: You can save other people’s unique abilities and skills in the ‘Memory of the World’ by completing certain quests, and combining the skills stored there to create higher-level abilities. can create.
However, if the difficulty of the copied condition rises rapidly. Some conditions may be modified.
Copies and stores numerous abilities that exist in the world.
Fuse stored abilities to create more powerful skills.
This was the reason and purpose of coming here today.
“Whoa.”
Jinhyuk let out the breath he had been holding in.
I’ve been preparing all evening to get these two things, and things went smoothly.
at that time.
“hey! I don’t know what you did, but as soon as you’re done… it’s hard anymore!”
Min Jeong-woo shouted while biting his teeth.
Now, his face had completely turned white.
It was a side effect of the depletion of mana.
‘where. Shall we see what we have to do to copy that old man’s abilities?’
[Copy condition: Min Jeong-woo always wore a mask to hide his emotions. Make him reveal his true intentions.]
‘Say it in one word and make him angry, right?’
Of course it’s easy.
Especially in the current situation, even more so.
After Jinhyeok took out the Daedongyeojido, he approached Min Jungwoo.
“That skill. You can stop using it now.”
“what? What do you mean?”
“Actually, there is no need to do that.”
Should I continue to use offensive magic to weaken the barrier?
Where is that nonsense?
In the first place, the way they work is different.
It was enough just to write the Latin spell Pafe at the part where the flow of magical power was out of order.
The guy who opened this barrier was still only level 1.
“Then why did you ask me to use the skill…?”
Why?
“That way, the old man’s mana will all be exhausted.”
It’s because of this.
I saw him sweat profusely and use his magic hard.
I won’t even have the strength to lift a finger anymore.
if.
Even if you burn the map right in front of your eyes.
Roaring!
Jinhyeok lit Daedongyeojido with a lighter.
In an instant, the flames began to gnaw through the entire paper.
“What are you doing! Why are you burning it! why…?”
“As I said before, I don’t need this.”
I already know everything about the tower.
Maps don’t mean anything.
‘however. It’s a waste to give this to another person.’
With a map, someone could get information up to the 10th floor.
The advantage I had was in danger of being lost.
If so, the surest way is to eliminate that possibility.
Just like right now.
“You son of a bitch! I will kill you! I mean, I’m going to change it a lot. You twin bastard!”
Min Jeong-woo lost his reason.
‘Wow. That old man also had a style of spitting out very thickly when he got angry.’
This is why people shouldn’t judge by appearance alone.
timely.
[Conditions met.]
[Skill ‘Fire Element (B)’ copied successfully!]
[Copied skill will be stored in ‘Memory of the World’.]
[Fire Element]
Difficulty to obtain: B
Description: Flame and raises affinity to fire.
A status window appears indicating that the copy conditions have been met.
‘The element of fire…’
Not a bad start for a first copy.
