Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 88
Episode 88. Ritual of Sacrifices (2)
Knights of the Round Table.
As knights from the legend of King Arthur, each of them has a special ability.
The ability to peak in each field, such as magic, swordsmanship, phantom art, and tanking.
‘Among the 2nd job advancement, it’s almost at the top.’
It’s not that the government and the guilds did not have a strong influence for no reason.
With the ability and power to do so, no one can touch it carelessly.
‘One of those big names is this man…’
Jinhyuk wet his lower lip with his tongue.
Just by confirming this, it is equivalent to extracting hundreds of times the value of the white medicine.
‘Guardian’s ability’, which can peak in one field, is not necessary for the all-rounder Jinhyeok, but ‘Mental Barrier’ was a skill that he coveted.
‘If you put this on it, it will become the driving force to withstand the gods or the demon king later.’
but.
After confirming the copying conditions, Jinhyeok had to feel the shock as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
[Copy conditions]
1. Find out the opponent’s knight name.
2. From now on, talk about your conversations and actions with Hossenvelt as if you were suffering from secondary illness.
If you meet both conditions, you will be able to copy one of your opponent’s unique abilities or skills.
Again, an unusual condition popped up.
Of course, since the target is the target, it is understandable that the copy conditions increase. Whatever.
but.
damn it
‘What kind of crazy guy is the guy who manages the tower’s system?’
no. Earnestly.
At this point, it was to the point of doubting whether he had drunk six bottles of soju at a drinking party and had mistakenly set the conditions for copying something that should have been set as a penalty game.
Jinhyuk pressed his temple with his index finger.
“Why are you not saying anything?”
Housenveld, who was watching the scene, asked again.
“ah. sorry. The Black Flame Dragon in my left hand is rampaging, so I’m trying to calm it down.”
Jinhyuk grabbed his left hand with his right hand.
His right hand trembled slightly.
As if to stop the left hand from running out of control.
A moment of silence passed.
It seemed as if all time in the world had stopped.
How many seconds had passed?
“Is this the man you spoke of? I can’t believe you’re an enemy to worry about.”
The headmaster, who had a shocked expression on his face, opened his mouth.
To my dismay, Hossenvelt was the same.
“…that’s absurd. Are you saying such nonsense when your life is at stake?”
Even Braham’s ring, which he was wearing, moved up and down like crazy.
There was no doubt that even Alice was holding her belly button and laughing in the ring.
okay. I know I’m dumbfounded too, so don’t bother reminding me.
Don’t do more cooking with the three of us.
please please
“Since you seem to be frightened and out of your mind, I will only say it once. Soon you will be offered as a living sacrifice.”
“Cook cook. It’s a sacrifice… It reminds me of that time five years ago. It was the day my madness was first revealed to the world.”
Jinhyuk covered one side of his face with his hand.
It would have been perfect if he only wore a black cape and red circle lenses.
damn it
Doing this also makes me strangely immersed.
“…”
Hossenvelt hesitated at Jinhyeok’s strange behavior.
He felt a sense of incongruity at seeing the other person so far from what he knew.
No way…
‘Is there something prepared?’
What if black flame dragon or madness is actually a starter word or paving stone to activate a unique ability or skill?
At least considering Jinhyeok’s performance so far, that seemed more plausible.
‘He is a person who should never be underestimated.’
Because the opponent was a player who made fun of the elite members of the Association.
Hossenvelt greatly enhanced the senses of the whole body.
However, there was no feeling of magical power being activated.
Undoubtedly.
all of that is bullshit
‘Damn it…’
But why?
The sticky feeling of uneasiness seemed to have no intention of letting go.
‘Let’s not play around.’
Hossenvelt, who had worked hard to make up his mind, got to the point.
“I know you’re strong, but since your unique abilities and skills are sealed, you won’t be able to survive the ritual.”
“Hmm. You’re already dead. Did you come here because you wanted to say something like this?”
“No, I came here. It’s to make the process a little easier.”
Hossenvelt pulled out a clear glass bottle from his bosom.
The liquid in the bottle dripped.
“What is that?”
“It is a kind of anesthetic. It can give you relief from the terrible pain inflicted during the ritual.”
The ritual of sacrificing is notorious because the process is so brutal.
It is human nature to want to die a little more comfortably than to die anyway.
“I don’t think pain can break my will… but I won’t hesitate if you give it to me.”
Jinhyuk stretched out his hand.
OK.
“It is not free.”
Hossenvelt moved the vial a little backwards.
“Information about Unknown. If you say that, I will hand you this in return.”
It comes out like this too.
the expected sea.
“You seem to be quite curious about Unknown.”
“Because we have to trample on potential buds.”
“what. good. I can tell you, but I don’t need an anesthetic, and instead I just ask a question.”
“A question?”
Hossenvelt’s pupils narrowed at the unexpected words.
It’s a face that didn’t know you wanted something like that.
“We ask each other questions one by one. Is it fair?”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
“…good night. tell me.”
“Your name and rank within the Mining Association. All you have to do is tell me that.”
“As for the last question, you are asking a useless question. Why do you want to know that?”
“I had a lot of questions about the Mine Association. It’s because I’m the kind of person who can’t stand to ask questions like this. ah! and. My demonic eye sees through everything. Don’t even think about cheating.”
Jinhyeok deliberately strained his eyes.
“…don’t worry. I won’t cheat.”
Hossenvelt nodded.
And slowly introduced himself.
“My name is Hossenveld. He is in charge of one of the round tables. It has the name of a knight named ‘Lancelot’.”
Lancelot.
A knight who protects the Round Table.
That was the name of Hossenvelt’s knight.
‘good.’
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth went up.
This accomplished one of two conditions. It was as if the other one had been achieved.
“Did this solve my question?”
“Roughly.”
“Then it’s my turn this time. Tell me about Unknown’s identity.”
That’s not hard.
“I’ll tell you this once, so listen carefully. Unknown is…”
Jinhyeok opened his mouth cautiously, looking at his eyes.
“It’s a guy named Cheon Yoo-seong.”
“If it’s Cheon Yoo-seong… I can’t believe it?”
“that’s right. The guy who popped into your head. Didn’t you guys try to get rid of it once and fail?”
“…”
Hossenvelt kept his mouth shut.
Did that happen?
Now everything made sense.
The reason why Unknown is so strong.
why they were hostile to them.
Above all, the fact that the player Kang Jin-hyeok knew about Unknown in detail was also correct.
Since there is a constant contact between the two, they must have known each other well.
“Have you heard everything you want?”
The teacher, who had been watching silently, asked.
“yes. That’s enough.”
Hossenvelt nodded.
“bye. Kang Jin-hyeok. I will never see you again.”
And finally, looking at Jinhyeok, I turned around without regret.
right at that moment.
Tring!
[Conditions have been met!]
[Choose one of the abilities possessed by the opponent.]
A status window appeared indicating that the copy conditions were met.
‘I succeeded just in time.’
Jinhyuk smiled with satisfaction.
Although it suffered shame, the desired goal was achieved.
“I’ll copy the mind barrier.”
[Succeeded in copying the unique ability ‘Mental Barrier (S)’!]
[Copied skills are stored in ‘Memory of the World’.]
[Mental Barrier]
Difficulty to obtain: S
Description: A skill that strengthens the mental system It not only protects the security of the status window, but also protects the caster from various types of mental attacks.]
S-class mental defense ability.
Thinking about what happened after that, the ‘mental barrier’ will definitely be of great help.
Right then.
“Get the offerings out. The ceremony will be held soon.”
The warden gave orders to the guards.
“Oh, no!”
“Help me. please!”
“I don’t want to die here. I don’t want to die!”
The trapped players screamed.
But it’s no use.
I couldn’t expect any sympathy or sympathy from the fanatics.
‘It’s time to go soon.’
Finally, the time has come to move on to the final stage that will decorate the finale of this psychiatric ward.
Jinhyeok looked inside the cell.
‘found.’
Compared to the other bricks, the bricks were dark gray in color.
Tap the brick seven times, one second apart.
coo kung!
Curiously, a small space appeared on one side of the wall.
It was the gap leading to the sewer.
Jinhyeok took out another drug that he had carefully hidden and pushed it into the sewer.
The red pill rolled around.
and after a while
Fondant!
A pleasant sound rang out.
＊＊＊
Room of sacrifice.
A huge space reminiscent of the Colosseum was filled with fanatics to watch the ceremony.
“Kuaaa!”
“Koooo!”
The ‘Breaker’, called the representative of God, slaughtered the sacrifices.
Every time the ax and greatsword flashed, the players’ bodies were cut in half.
“Kill!”
“Glory to God!”
“Ohhhh! more! more! more! We need more sacrifices!”
The overflowing blood stained the sand red.
Even so, the madness of the fanatics did not subside easily.
They want more blood.
Even if it’s to forget this crazy world for a while.
rattle!
And the faces of the players watching the living hell in the waiting room were so pale that they couldn’t get tired of it.
“Oooh!”
“Wow!”
Crying or vomiting is relatively noble.
In severe cases, some even passed out or passed out.
Now, after a while, they had to go inside too.
‘It would be impossible to fight the agent with these guys.’
Jinhyeok clicked his tongue as he looked at the players who had completely lost their fighting spirit.
The guys who curled up their tails before even attaching properly would become a burden instead.
But I couldn’t help but blame them.
Rather, the most scum in this place right now are the fanatics playing with the lives of the players.
In Jinhyeok’s eyes, a cold life lingered.
‘really… I can handle it without any hesitation.’
A hidden quest where you kill bad guys and get stats.
I wondered if there was any reluctance to take a person’s life.
It was a completely useless worry.
Then, with the stage set up and all the main actors attending…
‘Let’s start soon.’
Jinhyeok took out a book he had hidden exquisitely in his arms.
Macedrian’s Spellbook.
Among the many magic books in the magic library, I chose this book for one reason.
Charleureuk!
The bookshelf is over.
Numerous typefaces written in runes spread out in front of me.
An old dragon who has struggled all his life to find loopholes in the world’s laws.
This book contains the dragon’s life.
[You have read the Black Dragon ‘Makedrian’s Book of Magic’.]
At the same time.
[Sealed abilities are released.]
[Sealed skills are released.]
[Time limit: 0h:9m:59s]
The shackles that suppress power are released.
