Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 666
Chapter 666. Returners of the Tower (2)
Right after the incident with Clemence, Jinhyeok returned to the village inhabited by the spirit beasts.
The members’ expressions hardened as they listened to what they had to say.
Since a powerful enemy intervened out of nowhere, it was bound to become serious.
“Is the light spirit king passed into their hands?”
Chun Yuseong fiddled with his sword.
“The timing was bad. He came very determined and prepared.”
“Jim has heard of returnees too. I’ve met a few of them myself. Most of them are quiet, but there have been a few damn ones.”
Elise tapped her chin with her finger.
Like Jinjo, who has lived for a long time, he also has a wealth of experience.
“By any chance, can I know the location where those so-called returnees went? If I knew the location, I would have more ways to deal with it. I might be a little helpful if I take an entry route or a side road.”
“It seems to have moved towards the Fairy Spring.”
In response to Pesis’ question, Jinhyeok revealed the location tracked by the reverberation of light remaining in Rybolt.
Then, this time, a heavy groan came from the elder’s side.
“It’s a place where our side doesn’t affect us. Even if we go, we went to a place like that.”
Fairy spring water is literally a sanctuary filled with the spirits of fairies in the canyon.
It was a place where even spirit beasts who respected each other did not approach it recklessly out of respect.
If you choose to go there, there must be a reason.
“In order to capture the gorge and recover the Spirit King, we’ll have to fight against each other there.”
“It’s quite painful to have the preoccupation of the place taken away, but isn’t it a much better situation than those who ask if it’s a primeval existence?”
“Yeah. Even with a simple calculation, the win rate is 10 times higher. Yeah.”
“Because our company president is a monster who even blocked the covenant.”
“In front of the owner, whether a returnee or a godhead, they are nothing more than paper tigers.”
“Mosquito yee!”
The members of the reliable Goinmul Corporation sent overwhelming support.
My heart is about to throb a little.
I had a lot of trouble getting along with the kids who were so selfish and didn’t listen to me, but I felt it was a little worthwhile to sacrifice and work hard.
“Anyway, I got caught earlier, what the hell is that person?”
Elise pointed her finger at someone.
The engineering chief, who had lost all his comrades because of Clemence, was standing in a corner.
“I’m a loser who got in the wrong line. But I’m a bit witty, so I survived by myself.”
He was the only one who escaped harm because he did not drink the blood of the primordial.
Although he lost everything in an instant and looked shocked. Still, one goal seemed certain.
Revenge for the swing bat colleagues who shared the joys and sorrows. Become a disabled person or die and go by their side. Finally, you have to complete the task before you can move on to the next one.
“I will do anything you ask me to do. If you ask me for the information I know, I will give it to you. So let me join you in the fight.”
“Can you tell me everything about Seo Jung-hee? She has a contract with someone else and I want to know how she can move.”
“I don’t know everything either, but I have some data I’ve saved on a USB just in case. I’ll give you all of them.”
“Not bad. And one more.”
Jinhyuk nodded and added a word.
“I’m the type to sleep well when I pay back 100 times to whoever touches me, but if I move outside the tower, there are a lot of restrictions because of the bridle of the law.”
“Is it okay if I let you have a solo date with Seo Jung-hee?”
“Yeah. It’s good that he communicates well, probably because he’s the engineering chief.”
Since he can handle the dirty work outside the tower, he has enough qualifications to enter as an intern at the Goinmul Corporation.
‘I haven’t even been able to copy the ability yet.’
Although it was an ability that belonged to the lowest class for a unique spear, it was useful enough as a material to fuse with other unique spears.
Now that the direction has been set, it is time to check what the other person is thinking.
Jinhyeok took out one of the several cards he had in mind.
* * *
A valley overflowing with beautiful spring water. Strange intruders have appeared in the land where cute fairies live peacefully.
“Sweet children. I can’t wait to see those happy smiles distorted by pain. Oh, no. I’ll have to put some of them alive in formalin and put them on display!”
“Even though you’re a returnee, your taste is really hard to adapt to.”
“Gigkick! Why? I like it because it’s unpretentious and honest?”
The returnees moved to the place where the spring water was.
“huh?”
“what?”
“What is it?”
The fairies who were joking among themselves tilted their heads at the outsider.
It was customary for the inhabitants, even the gods, not to touch the fairies. This is because they have built an ecosystem that is cut off from the outside world and has no interests with any race.
In addition, if the fairies were killed, the curse of those who sought balance in the tower, including the administrators, had been put down, so there was no reason to do anything more.
It is said that no one will be interested unless it is a bunch of crazy killers.
but.
Unfortunately, for those who regard curses as their daily lives, such things could not be threatened.
“Let’s get started.”
[Clemence activates his unique ability, ‘Necropolis’!] As
the maddened great mage radiated magical energy, the forest instantly turned black.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Huge ribs jutted out of the fountain. Between the trees and grass, grudges and ghosts began to appear.
A completely changed landscape.
The demonic landscape flooded with ominous waves created an atmosphere as if the world on the 50th floor had been moved.
When the stage was ready, a muscular man poured ancient blood into the spring.
[‘Primeval Blood’ is injected!]
[‘Shadow Seedlings without an owner’ grow rapidly!]
“Kieeeee!”
A sharp scream pierced the eardrums of the fairies who had not yet grasped the situation. It was a creepy scream that blew away the strings of consciousness at once.
Excellent sorghum…
The spiritless fairies fell to the ground as they were.
It was a race that was well versed in magic in its own way, but it was not enough to withstand the primeval power from the front.
As soon as they hit the ground, the grudges entered the bodies of the fairies.
keek!
Dark red blood poured out. The heart quickly lost its function.
But that’s for a while.
“Kuh…keyeeee!”
“Kyaaaaaagh!”
The fairies’ foreheads were ripped open and a third eye sprouted from within.
There is no such thing as a cute appearance. Now they have been transformed into demons with sharp teeth and claws.
An army of thousands of fairies was born.
Among them was Raebolt, who was once the king of light spirits.
“It’s not bad workmanship.”
“Hwiyu. They said they killed even a god in that world, and that’s amazing. Didn’t they say that all the dead children while the Necropolis was active become your subordinates?”
“It’s that kind of ability. Well, since the troops are roughly equipped with this, shall we do some treasure hunting while preparing to welcome the guests?”
A clue to a certain book is hidden somewhere in this canyon.
I didn’t know exactly what it was, but I didn’t have to know what the primeval beings wanted.
It was something I shouldn’t have paid attention to.
Just to achieve the purpose neatly as requested. We knew from experience that it was the safest path for each other.
Immediately, the returnees began an extensive search using the spring as a base.
* * *
After about an hour.
Jinhyeok and the members arrived at a place a little far from the spring water.
“contractor.”
Alice muttered with a stiff face.
“It’s awful.”
“You’re doing too much.”
“Woo-wook.”
“Mogiyii ….”
“They are 1 million times more terrible and have no humanity than their master.”
The rest of the members also frowned.
Nausea naturally welled up at the sight of the fairies and the forest that had changed so horribly.
‘Did I choose this place for the synergy between Necropolis and saplings?’
Jinhyuk slowly looked around.
Except for the fact that it is simply disgusting, it certainly boasts extreme efficiency. The fairies live in groups and have little contact with the outside world, so how they will fight or what their main abilities or tactics will be… …
because everything was unknown.
It will be very burdensome for the opponent to enter this area.
‘Besides, it would be several times more difficult because it would have done its own spec-up with the power of the sapling.’
If I just pushed with force, there was a risk of getting my ankle caught.
Then only the returnees would do good things.
If their goal was also to secure clues about the Necronomicon, they would definitely try to spend as much time as possible.
“Give me three minutes and I will find the best route to get inside.”
“Then, I’ll make my next plan based on that.”
While Pesis was activating its abilities, Jinhyeok carefully conceived the most optimal strategy.
But just then
Cuckoo coo!
Something huge rose from among the fairies.
Colorful ores. These are ‘Magic Stones’.
It was the first time that even Jin-hyeok had seen that amount of magic stones gathered in one place, since they had only collected high-purity and rare items.
A blinding light hit my retina.
But another emotion pierced me much more intensely than the feeling of being beautiful or awesome.
…was disappointing.
“Mosquito yee!”
The sweet potato’s eyes were stained with appetite.
For ancient dragons in their prime of growth, magic stones are the most important source of energy.
Not to mention, with such large and rare magic stones, there were more than enough to blow away the reason.
Before I had time to reverse summon it to subspace, the sweet potato kicked out of its seat and flew forward.
“The chance of the surprise attack being successful is now 0.0012%, huh.”
Frey quietly muttered the calculation.
Even if you don’t have to remind them, you can’t avoid the situation where you advertise that this side has invaded.
I can’t help it.
Jinhyeok pressed his throbbing temple and pulled out the first blade.
“It doesn’t suit Jim’s personality to fight that can make his head hurt.”
“Ha ha ha! This body in charge of Apocalypse is also best suited for frontal breakthrough!”
Alice and Behemoth also summoned their respective weapons.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Power that could overwhelm even if it sticks with any giant god of mythology moved.
“Keeeee!”
“Keeeee!”
The tainted fairies immediately charged.
“You can’t kill me!”
If you kill fairies, troublesome curses stick to you. The returnees don’t care about curses, but this side will be in trouble in many ways if there are restrictions on climbing the tower.
At the command of Jinhyeok, the fighting style was changed from killing to subduing.
Pupper puck!
Behemoth blew away the flying fairies with the side of his greatsword.
“Ke…eek!”
“Gagging!”
Spewing corn in their mouths, the flying fairies wriggled on the floor.
Elise’s skewer also mercilessly blew away the fairies’ limbs.
Needless to say, Cheon Yuseong was originally a murder weapon.
It’s true that he definitely won’t kill me, but…
I thought I’d have to worry about whether or not I should curse the canyon if I just kept breathing.
About a minute had passed since the battle had taken place.
that buck
Among the fairies, a person I once met appeared.
“Hmm. The alarm went off loud, so I went to see it, and it seemed like a big deal?”
This is Clemence, the Great Mage of Pain.
