Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 700

Episode 700. War of the Stars (2)

Tsutsutsu….

A faint magical power flowing from the body.

Usually, those who are strong beyond a certain level can control their presence and take advantage. This is to be able to move freely from external attention by preventing unnecessary revealing of one’s presence.

However, due to embarrassment, Jinhyuk lost his composure.

As a result, his presence was discovered by the other person.

‘shit. I make all these mistakes.’

Oops… but it was too late.

Because someone who had already noticed was approaching.

“Hehe. It was here as expected. I’ve been looking for it for a long time.”

A cute boy who smiles innocently.

A returnee who fought in Yotleam Gorge not long ago. It was ‘Pain von Adel’.

The worst swordsman who returned from a dimension full of swordsmen came here because he was obsessed with winning a game that had not yet been concluded.

“You…”

“You…?”

The members who were with me were surprised.

This is because physiologically, I felt a strong sense of rejection towards the other person.

Multiple combat abilities were about to be activated in less than a second.

At that moment, Jinhyuk intervened.

“It’s okay. That guy. It doesn’t look like he wants to fight right now.”

“Are you okay, contractor? He’s dangerous.”

“I know. I’ll tell you, so don’t make a fuss. There are a lot of eyes watching.”

“Tsk. I understand. If the contractor says that, there’s nothing we can do.”

Ellis reverse-summoned the half-pulled skewer.

The blood drops scattered and the storm that was about to break out calmed down.

Only when the situation calmed down were we finally able to have a proper conversation.

“How can you get out?”

Jinhyuk asked as if he was amazed.

Even intermediate powers can only move to other floors by consuming enormous items and magic stones. Moreover, coming out of the tower is such a burdensome act that even they have to risk the rise and fall of their power.

But since it was done by just one individual, it was bound to be absurd.

“I paid enough expenses. Even so, I have a lot saved up.”

Adele grinned.

Then he added one word.

“And the back of the force… I cut down all the top leaders of the appropriate mid-level force and took their place.”

Even as he tells the bloody story, he still looks innocent.

This gives me even more goosebumps.

“There’s no way managers would approve of such a temporary solution, right?”

“That part is okay. I also killed one of the mid-level managers who tried to argue with me. The other person I was with also kindly decided to help me, so at least there won’t be a problem this time!”

Ah…

my head started pounding.

Not since Casey and Jude Law had I seen such a crazy person who did what his instincts told him to do.

Still, Adele’s coming here isn’t just a pain in the ass.

‘It’s useful. This guy.’

In many ways, it is a long term that has sufficient value if handled well.

There was no need to tell you that your abilities were great.

‘Eye of Gluttony’ had already revealed every single detail about Adele.

[Pain von Adel]

Level: 315

Unique Spear: Hundred Ghosts’ Night Journey

Unique Ability: Willow Tree Sword Skill

: Lv37 ‘Swordsmanship Creation’ Lv35 ‘Crazy Concentration’ Lv 35 ‘Fortunate Eating’ Lv 35 ‘Yuumbo’… Other than that, there are too many skills, so they are put into a ‘put aside’ state.

Copy conditions: Not to become stronger, but to cut down the strong. The boy grew up climbing many great mountains. An obsession bordering on madness. If you arrange a one-on-one match with the person that Adele most wants to fight, you can copy one of his unique spears, unique abilities, and skills. (However, the opponent in this fight must also enter the fight with sufficient fighting spirit and achieve satisfactory results.)

A fight without regrets.

To copy Adele’s abilities, a considerable sacrifice(?) was needed.

At that moment, a person who could be sacrificed without feeling any guilt came to mind.

Now all you have to do is provide a suitable stage and motivate them to fight.

Jinhyuk’s mind began to fill with evil plans.

“What you want is natural, right?”

“Yeah! He’s the best swordsman in the world, right?”

“That’s right. Kya. I’ve never seen anyone as good with a blade as he is. I’ve never seen one before. I thought he could even cut down the moon?”

“Hmm. That much?”

“Yeah. It might be hard to believe. But why would I tell a lie that would get caught right away?”

“Then what about you? From what I saw back then, it seemed like you didn’t have average skills either.”

“I specialize in using guns and magic rather than cold weapons. At least his sword skills are a few levels higher than mine. I’m no better at using claws. Oh, that’s it.”

A genius swordsman.

The natural ability to wipe out enemies from all directions is truly the highest dignity in the world.

Jinhyuk looked at the sun floating outside the window and looked filled with emotion.

As if to say that there is only one sun floating in this world.

“It looks like it’s worth cutting down! Thank you!”

After finishing speaking, Adele immediately put her hand on her waist.

Pachichik!

With a lower center of gravity.

Sparks rising.

This crazy guy is planning to kill everyone in the exam room. At least one of them must be Cheon Yu-seong.

“Wait a minute! If you do that, you can’t fight Cheon Yu-seong. His abilities are a little special, and he can only show off his true skills when conditions are met. Don’t you want to cut down an enemy who can’t do his best?”

“….”

He paused.

Adele reacted to Jinhyuk’s words.

What I want is competition, not hunting.

One wields a sword for the thrill of overcoming the danger of life and death. It’s such a delicious prey that I’ve been waiting so desperately for, but I can’t just let it go.

“Then… what should I do?”

…got caught.

The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth twitched.

“I know the way, so join us in this competition. It’s what you want. I’m the only one who can make it happen.”

The best strategy in any transaction is gaslighting.

There is only one thing that can be saved. The key to selling it is to put thorough pressure on it so that there is only one person.

Even seasoned second-hand dealers won’t get caught easily… but

this guy is a combat enthusiast who spends all day fighting with swords.

It is not a waste product that has been worn out in the fierce blush market and second-hand world.

And as if to prove that prediction.

“Promise. Keep it.”

Adele had no choice but to take this tempting bait.

***

[Party selection has been completed.]

[A total of 1,268 teams will be formed.]

[Each team will be awarded a badge symbolizing the team, and depending on the number of badges collected, they will have an advantage in the next main event. Applies differently.]

Jinhyuk, Ellis, Teresa, Wolyoung, and even T-Bone and Frey, who wore human skin using ‘bast face balls’.

With Adele joining these six, a total of seven people were formed in the party.

“…At most three teams among these.”

“All the rest are eliminated.”

“We must go in. Just participating in the main event will change your life.”

“I invested all my money for today. I will destroy it all.”

A sharp war of nerves continued here and there.

As the countdown to the start of the game reached 10 seconds, tension reached its peak.

From a close enemy?

Or start with the guy who looks strong?

Or should I make the most of it and preserve my stamina and magical power?

The confrontation continued with each having different strategies and thoughts.

And finally.

[3 2 1… Start!]

The game has begun.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa… Kwa-kwa-kwa!

As soon as the status window disappeared, a fountain of blood spurted out.

“Kwaaaaak!”

“Aaaahhh!”

Adele’s remains spread out in a terrifying trajectory.

The rule is not to kill.

Therefore, there were no deaths, but those with deep cuts on their limbs were clearly in no condition to continue the fight.

I don’t even know where or how I got hit.

“Stop it!”

“That crazy guy…”

At first, I tried to fight back.

There is only one enemy.

His actions of attacking everyone indiscriminately and indiscriminately are not blood, but arrogance. This means that it is inevitable that it will soon be crushed by the overwhelming number.

however.

Kukukukukukuku!

The fire did not die out, but instead burned more intensely as time passed.

“Kick! What are these guys… they’re so slow.”

Perhaps as her body relaxed, Adele’s speed and sharpness became even fiercer.

“Hey!”

“It’s a monster.”

“It’s impossible. Jump out. “It’s a test, and you have to excel to survive!”

Now the situation has turned around, with those who were trying to fight running away.

Kakagagak….

The blades are cut off and the armor is torn into pieces. The fishy smell of blood announced the beginning of the festival.

“My lord.”

Wolyoung frowned.

The difference in skill is obvious to anyone.

Even though the situation was fully in hand, the overly cruel finish aroused disgust even among the same team.

“That’s a bit harsh, Ellis.”

Jinhyuk nodded toward Ellis next to him.

“You’re asking me to waste the great man’s magic on such a trivial fight. Doesn’t the contractor have a conscience?”

“You were singing about wanting to go to the Maldives. I’ll take you there.”

[Unique Spear Gaebyeok’s Revelation ‘Blood Express’ is activated!]

[Due to the protection of the zodiac, the skill is given an additional invisibility effect.]

Before I could hear the answer, an area made of blood unfolded.

“Cocktails and lobster should be unlimited.”

Kukukukuk!

The immense gravity weighed down the entire stadium.

“Pfft!”

Even Adele, who was running wild, could not bear the weight and stopped walking.

Of course, it would be embarrassing to even talk about what happened to the rest of the players.

[Team A-15 was eliminated.]

[Team B-22 was eliminated.]

[Team F-7 was eliminated.]

Elimination messages appear countless times.

About 10 minutes later, only a small portion of the total was standing in the stadium.

***

World Federation of Awakened Associations.

I was confident that the ‘War of the Stars’ held by the most prestigious and powerful group would be the most important event in climbing the tower.

Therefore, we planned to select participants in the preliminaries as rigorously as possible.

but.

“What happened? “What the hell?”

“Oh my god…”

The test, which was expected to take more than 6 hours, ended in less than 20 minutes.

If it was a large-scale melee, it would be understandable.

If thousands of people fight simultaneously, it can be done quickly. The ending didn’t make any sense at all.

However, being wiped out by just one person

was something that completely destroyed existing common sense.

The employees who were monitoring it couldn’t leave the scene for a long time. They

just stared at the screen blankly. It was because they had forgotten what they were supposed to do.

How long had it been like that?

Aflick, the senior monitor agent, slapped his cheek with his palm.

“Request all the information on that person immediately. Collect the profiles of the remaining members who passed and report them. We don’t have time, so within an hour!”

“There are nearly 20 people, so it will be a bit rushed to conduct a detailed investigation.”

“You can update the rest later. The important thing now is participant number 1772.”

Following Shuette, another monster-like rookie appeared.

The boy who was attacking suddenly got down on one knee, but if that was a movement to use a mental or magic wide-range skill, It made sense.

In the first place, the magical power responses of the remaining applicants were all at an average level.

‘No one stands out in particular.’

Aflic’s gaze turned to a former Korean BJ named Kang Jin-hyuk.

As expected, he only had a short and insignificant career that could only be explained as luck. There was no record of any insignificant performance after the appearance of the Tower of Ordeals.

‘Still, a bridesmaid’ I think it will be enough to fulfill its role.’

Fuel for a dazzling star festival,

that’s enough.
