Solo Max-Level Newbie

Episode 344. The Great Power of the Upper Level (2)

“…”

Information about Hastings.

Jinhyuk bit his lip gently at the unexpectedly great subject.

One of the cards I really wanted to get my hands on came out.

Because he was so shrouded in a veil, it was difficult to know his plan in the past, but now he can confirm it.

‘Just to hear the story, join Eden

.

It is definitely a place with many advantages over other options.

The members are also strong and above all, they are superficial with the demon world, so we were able to create various variables in the future.

But before making a choice….

Tring!

[Lv15 ‘Eye of Gluttony’ is activated!]

Jinhyeok’s eyes penetrated the opponent.

however.

[The archangel’s protection is activated!]

As if waiting, a golden mist appeared.

“Kuk!”

cold and

Intense pain rose in Jinhyuk’s eyes.

It felt like it was being pierced from the top of my head to my spinal cord.

“Whoops. It’s against the law to look behind the curtain. We also have some understanding of the skill type that player Kang Jin-hyeok possesses.”

Gabriel smiled brightly.

I knew it. It is not easy to obtain information through the ‘eyes’ in front of a higher deity.

Of course, even if that wasn’t the case, there was a way to find out what the other person wanted.

“Okay. I’ll stop messing around here.”

“Does that mean you’ll accept our offer?”

“That’s not it.”

Jinhyuk shook his head.

“I’m sorry to hear of the refusal. I just thought you’d really want to know more about Hastings.”

Um…

“I’m sure you’re mistaken, but I said I’m not joining your faction. I didn’t mean to give up information about Hastings.”

“yes?”

“I will hand over one corresponding piece of information from my side.”

“You mean to exchange some kind of information? With us?”

“That’s right. It’s probably a story that appeals to Eden as well.”

It was then.

“That’s ridiculous.”

The male angel who had been watching quietly intervened.

“You’re saying that you’d dare to make a deal with us with knowledge that’s not even a speck of dust, when it’s not enough to make an offer to someone like that?”

“Stop it, Damiel.”

Gabriel restrained him, but the male angel did not give in easily.

“But. Archangel. Isn’t that what I mean? At best, the author knows that there is a rare item in the middle of the tower, a slobber… Isn’t that a wonderful thing in itself?”

Damiel snorted.

but.

In the words that follow…

“I have the crown, but the reason why I can’t get close to the 50th floor borderline. Isn’t that all because I don’t have ‘the book’?”

Demian’s expression, saying that everything is bad, changed 180 degrees.

“…How did you do that?”

I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

One of the holy relics that are absolutely necessary to safely navigate the 50th floor.

‘Necronomicon.’

It is a magic book that contains all kinds of information about the 50th floor and the ancient gods.

But to think that a forbidden book known only among the gods would come out of the mouth of a single player.

I just couldn’t believe it.

“I know where parts of the book are. Give me information about Hastings and I’ll tell you where parts of the book are also.”

“This… You’re a more dangerous man than I thought. A person like you.”

Gabriel also muttered, unable to hide his embarrassment.

Just knowing the existence of the book is not likely to be false.

Then…

“Okay. Let’s make a deal.”

Gabriel accepted the offer.

＊＊＊

[You paid for one blue dragon’s yeouiju as the entrance fee.]

The manager at the entrance looked at the yeouiju carefully and then nodded.

It means that the entrance fee is sufficient.

“Then, I hope you have a comfortable auction…”

The manager stepped aside and the huge door opened on both sides.

The great auction house that appeared like that.

It was quite busy inside, probably because many deities had already attended.

“At least the magic stones…”

“The fifth item must come from us…”

“…Yes. I know.”

Most of them were talking with the factions they belonged to and discussing how to get their hands on the items to be exhibited this time.

however.

that buck

When Jinhyeok entered the auction house, the buzz disappeared like a lie.

Everyone’s eyes turned this way.

A rookie who has already reached the middle level of the tower in less than two years since the ‘Tower of Trials’ appeared.

A much-talked-about ranker who drove out the strongest existence that even the gods couldn’t do anything about.

Countless towers have appeared in countless dimensions throughout history, but this is the first time a player has climbed a tower so quickly.

Of course, attention must be focused.

“Is that guy Kang Jin-hyeok?”

“That’s right. He’s a person whose name has been mentioned several times on our side as well.”

“He played a big role in the war between Murim and the Empire. It was because of him that he took care of the demons of the Heavenly Demon Church.”

“If it’s Samaja, isn’t that the candidate that the monkey of Jecheondaeseong tried to make as his apostle?”

“Hoho. Seeing that there’s a lot of distorted faces, it looks like he’s right.”

Each of the deities uttered a single word.

Right then.

Parts!

Black sparks rose in all directions.

Unlike those who watched from afar, they approached with open hostility.

He is an impressive man with long protruding tusks and a red tattooed face.

“I finally get to see that goddamn face. My men owe me so much in so many ways, I really desperately wanted to meet them.”

Anger oozes from every word.

there’s no way you wouldn’t know

How could I not know?

Guntafer.

As one of the commanders of the Pandemonium Corps, I once bumped into one of his subordinates in the body of giants.

Since I made a grand plan through the demons into nothing…

There’s no way he’ll have good feelings for you.

And next to him was a man wearing armor with a pattern symbolizing Ataraxia.

Exension.

Did the current head of Ataraxia, who betrayed Alice, attend this auction?

Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.

…strong.

so overwhelming.

When he met the family heads on the lower floor of the tower, his power was limited, but he was able to exert his full strength here.

The various weapons worn on the body were also only top-notch holy relics that were known by name.

“Whether it’s an auction or a nabbing, it’s all I want to do is cut your throat.”

Guntafer’s claws sharpened.

“You want to vent your anger against me alone in front of so many gods?

“I guess you don’t know much about the deities, but they don’t care about your life. It’s a deity to move only when there’s a little bit of benefit to them.”

Of course, power is the rule and law here.

A resident or player must belong somewhere as an apostle in order to survive among the gods.

Of course, Jinhyeok, who does not belong anywhere, is nothing more than a prey that can be easily dealt with.

that was common sense

That was the current position in the food chain.

That’s right.

That’s right, but…

just one.

Guntaper is misunderstanding something.

“Sorry, but I’m pretty popular.”

“What nonsense… Whoa!? You bastard!”

Guntafer, who was talking, suddenly raised his voice.

“Hmm. Who’s going to cut off whose head? He promised to become my apostle. In other words, it means that he is a player supported by the Pandemonium.”

Beriel intervened.

“This guy will become the Black Apostle of the Demon Realm?”

“Yes. Apostle? Me? Me?”

This time, both of them were surprised at the same time.

Oh right.

In the battle with Shubnigurath, I became an apostle to lure this guy out, so I was wondering what to do.

It was a lie that I didn’t even mean, so I forgot about it.

The memory of selling Cheon Yoo-seong as a bonus also came to my mind very faintly.

“So you’d better keep that hand off. Unless you want to go to war with me.”

“Beriel… You filthy fallen angel! Isn’t it too arrogant to say that the devil loves you? I know that you will betray us at any time, even if the others don’t know.”

“Betrayal… That’s a word I’m uncomfortable with.”

“What would you do with a turtle?”

“What the heck. I’m thinking of cutting off his head and hanging it in front of my castle gate.”

Parchit!

Pants…!

The air suddenly became heavier.

I didn’t know what kind of disaster would happen if the war of nerves between the gods spreads to a battle.

Even more so if you are in a situation where you can use your body’s power perfectly.

However, the magic power that went to the extreme did not come to an end.

“Let’s go! You’ve waited a long time. I’m a little late because there are many things to prepare.”

A beastman with the appearance of a dainty rabbit appeared in the center before he knew it.

As soon as the auction started, Beriel shrugged and stepped back.

“Are you running away?”

“Unlike you, I’m quite interested in this auction. You too, don’t lose your strength and enjoy the auction at your leisure. Shouldn’t you be getting something from this auction to raise your stupid apostle?”

“…Kuh. You rotten…”

Guntafer clenched his fists.

But it didn’t make a fuss any more than that.

As Beriel said, it was also important to grow the apostles.

“Everyone. Since you seem to be serious, then let’s start the long-awaited auction. The first thing I’d like to introduce is a hot new item I just got from the 45th floor of the tower a week ago!”

Let the rabbit snap his fingers. A huge glass box appeared on the empty floor.

Inside, a claw over 3m was stored,

which is the claw of one of the ancient species, ‘Behemoth’.

As a beast with a huge body, the size of even a part of its toenails was beyond imagination.

“A Behemoth.”

“It’s an ancient species that’s hard to see, so you’re saying it was on the 45th floor?”

“You managed to find a trace of it.”

It is not a lie to say that the island is swallowed up.

The basic bidding for magic stones alone was 700 million.

However, when the divine powers joined, the units of the magic stones changed in an instant.

“10 billion!”

“1.5 billion!”

“Three billion!”

“8 billion!”

Behemoth’s claws would be the best material to make weapons or armor.

However, it is at a level where I don’t even dare to intervene.

“Are you doing the spectating, kid? Ah! Well, there’s nothing left to do except spectating. It’s not a place for a broke person like you to interfere. Hahaha!”

Guntaper burst into madness.

But Jinhyeok remained silent.

“…”

The purpose of coming here in the first place was not like that.

“Pandora’s box was won by Hermes from Olympus!

” The transcendent magic stone was auctioned off by Gabriel from Eden!” “The elemental heart

was

auctioned off by Uasis, who came as an agent of the spirit realm

!

” The item I want to introduce to you is…!”

The auction item that will be the highlight of this auction has appeared. It

finally

came out
