Solo Max-Level Newbie

Chapter 356. New weapon (1)

The crown of defeat with a new owner.

And the power war of Olympus, a giant power in the upper layer.

Due to these two issues, the whole tower was heated up.

Even if it wasn’t, the tension that was like the night before the storm had completely exploded.

“…How are things going?”

The beautiful angel opened her mouth.

Gabriel.

She was in charge of this investigation on behalf of ‘Eden’.

Answers to Gabriel’s questions poured in here and there.

“Currently, the Olympus side has invaded the 41st floor in earnest. Previously, local wars were fought in areas where both forces had influence, but now a massive all-out war is happening simultaneously.”

with the Greek Olympus. Nordic ‘Ragnarok’.

Starting from yesterday, the two forces entered into a battle that bet each other’s fortunes.

“The main gods of Ragnarok are also responding to this, but the difference in power is too great in the first place.”

“We’ve already lost 5 important bases. Even the road to Jotunheim is blocked. At this rate, maybe…” If it’s

Jotunheim, it’s one of the top-tier ruins that exist on the 41st floor.

The fact that even that heart was within range. This meant that the power difference was one-sided.

It must have been the Olympus side that had made thorough preparations.

“It may upset the balance.”

Gabriel looked at the status window with a serious face.

Even at this moment, flames and ice storms raged, and countless lives were dying.

Right then.

“Archangel. Are we not participating in the war?”

The muscular angel with big wings opened his mouth.

Kizakiel.

As a battle-type angel, she has been primarily responsible for crushing enemies on the front line.

It’s belligerent, of course. Rather, because of its cruel nature, it was a being that was feared regardless of its enemies.

bloody judgment.

If there is a modifier that refers to Kizakiel, this would be it.

“Do you think a combat corps commander should be involved in a war between two factions?”

“Guarding the tower’s balance is God’s law, and isn’t it our mission at the same time? Of course, we believe that those who disturb the upper levels must be punished with a mace.”

A gigantic spirit surged from Kizakiel’s body.

A tangible flame engulfed the whole body.

It was such overwhelming magic that the other angels hesitated and stepped back.

“If you give me an order, I will completely annihilate the two blasphemous forces and then pull out the crown and the head of a human named Kang Jin-hyeok.”

It was a problem to punish the two powers, but securing the crown of defeat was also an important task.

Eden also wanted to collect all the crowns and challenge the 50th floor once again.

but.

“I have made some sort of agreement with him. At least until the item is secured, avoid any friction with him for any reason.”

Necronomicon, an exploration journal on the 50th floor.

Right now, this book is more important than the crown.

If you put your mind to it in Eden, you could have secured the crown somehow… but

that book was impossible to secure no matter how hard you tried.

“…I guess there’s something I don’t know. I see. If that’s what the Archangel intends…”

Kizakiel pursed his lips as if he didn’t like something.

However, he did not openly express his dissatisfaction.

Even if he was the commander of a combat corps leading tens of thousands of angels. Because he couldn’t openly disobey Gabriel’s orders.

“and.”

Before leaving, Gabriel added a word.

“Don’t forget to secure a guide.”

“Are you talking about that Pesis?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Several guides in the tower.

Among them, the one who stood out the most was the person named Pesis.

‘We must attract them to our side.’

Although it was difficult to make a point of contact because I like to travel alone.

You have to create a trigger somehow.

At least find someone who has contact with him.

＊＊＊

Same time.

hooked! hooked! hooked!

Jinhyeok, who sent his party out of the tower first, was digging through the sand.

There are two ways to attack the 19th floor.

It is to deal with the boss monster in a standard way or to find a hidden place and secure the innermost relic there.

And what Jinhyeok chose was the latter among them.

“Hmm.”

Jinhyuk scratched his chin.

Even if you have a map obtained from Uasis, it is usually not difficult to find the exact location of the room where the weapon is stored due to the nature of the quicksand, which is constantly moving.

We can only make rough estimates based on memory.

The rest depended on animal intuition and manual labor to vomit.

‘Thanks to that, I’ve been working hard with a shovel in the sand for over 12 hours.’

More precisely…

“Heog. Heh..

“I think I’m going to die, Master.”

“If you kill me, I won’t attack you even if I become a ghost.”

“Everyone be quiet. My head hurts.”

I was in charge of supervising those who worked hard instead.

A spectacle reminiscent of a large-scale civil engineering site unfolded.

The spirit beasts were sweating profusely and were busy moving without opening their eyes to find the hidden room.

“Let’s go. Don’t sound too sick. Let’s cheer up a little more. We’re almost there now. Did you really feel it?”

“It’s already been 12 hours since he said he’s feeling it, master.”

Undine screamed.

Seeing her two small arms trembling, it must have been quite difficult.

but.

“so?”

“huh?”

“My Undines can’t possibly do the request I’m making right now because it’s dirty and dirty. What does this mean?”

“That’s not it… There’s also a spirit realm, but we also want to take a 10-minute break after working for an hour.”

“Ohh. Do you want to rest?”

“I think we need at least a little bit of rest, if not a lot. Everyone? Huh?”

Undine mustered up the courage to seek help from the rest of the spirits.

It seemed that the spirits would add a little courage. He nodded his head arguing.

“Yes. If you say it’s that hard, then you should rest.”

“really!?”

“Yeah. Then. Get some rest.”

Jinhyeok smiled brightly and summoned ‘Hellfire’.

“Very forever.”

The water in Undine started to become lukewarm due to the blazing fire.

“Hey! I’ll work. I’ll work hard.”

“Everybody work like dogs. Quickly!”

“Let’s work. Work.”

Once again, the scene tried to move busily.

Right then.

“Wait. Wait.”

Jinhyeok took out a kettle and poured the bluish liquid in chunks.

Tea brewed with one lowest-grade magic stone.

It’s a cheap energy-boosting drink chilled with a few ice cubes.

“Before we start, everyone have a glass of this. The fatigue will go away a little.”

“Lord, master…”

“Thank you…”

“I never thought he would prepare something like this for us.”

There was emotion in everyone’s eyes.

This is why employees shouldn’t be hungry.

Normally, they instill fear while exploiting them like tenacity. When you reach that limit, it’s best to give them dried carrots.

‘Because bad boys aren’t fatal for nothing.’

Jinhyeok, who calmed the spirits’ dissatisfaction moderately, began to think of a place where the room could be.

＊＊＊

Quicksand moving at 10 km/h.

Humidity is 17.5%

Due to the battle with the Hound a little while ago, the angle of the aisle was shifted by about 1.5 degrees, so this should also be factored into the calculation.

There were dozens of variables, but I had experience excavating artifacts even under worse conditions.

“There, the second tunnel from the left. Yes, proceed from there next.”

“Here? You said there were no gnomes here?”

Even the earth spirit tilted its head.

He couldn’t feel the waves coming through the ley veins.

Nevertheless, Jinhyeok proceeded with the construction based on intuition and experience.

‘I’m almost there.’

Instinctively, I felt that the high ground was not far away.

Rather, the problem is after finding the room

.

You need a strong facilitator.

In order to break through the traps inside, not only agility but other things were required.

But just then

Whoops!

The space around Jinhyeok was distorted.

[The upper deity is partially manifested!]

The red status window blinked continuously.

“Who…”

The curiosity did not last long.

The one who appeared through the space was a very familiar figure.

Beriel.

One of the demon kings of the Demon Realm has manifested on the 19th floor of the tower.

of course.

The full manifestation must have been a burden, and the figure had become much smaller.

About the same size as Alice.

Beriel, flapping her little devil’s wings, struggled to sit on Jinhyeok’s shoulder.

“Heh. Heh. Heck. Shit. It’s so hard to move with only one snot, I think I’m going to die.”

Beriel gasped like a squirrel.

“Hey. What happened to this place? I don’t think it’s a very good option for a vacation spot. This place.”

“Iik! What’s going on! Surely, didn’t you say you would become my apostle? But since you didn’t keep that promise and just pretended, I didn’t come here myself!”

Ah…

Come to think of it, I made that promise.

It seems that the transmission sound came several times, but I ignored it and forgot about it.

“Ah. The Black Apostle. Of course I remembered.”

“Don’t lie!”

“No, really. I’ve been thinking about changing jobs reverently while searching for Pandemonium-related information these days?”

At Jinhyeok’s words, Beriel’s momentum softened a little.

“So… do you mean you want to sign a contract with me now?”

“I really want to, but I can’t sign you. Right now.”

“If you’re going to make excuses that don’t work again…”

“Guntaper.”

Jinhyeok answered briefly.

A divinity that built a bad relationship from the giants’ fortress and now has become a completely hostile relationship.

The other day, at the Auction House of the Gods, I had a direct encounter with the body of the bastard.

“He threatened me a while ago. If I make a contract with you, he will kill the base I have and all the people belonging to him.

“You said you would use the sword of Cabaldo…? Just to prevent you from becoming a black apostle?”

“That’s probably why I don’t like it.”

Of course, this is a lie.

However, Beriel has no way to confirm.

This is because the personal communication between the deity and the player is never seen by other deities.

“In addition, the relationship between Ragnarok and Olympus, where the Norse deities belong, is also tough. As you may know, I am entangled in various interests.”

“…I’ve heard about the two factions.”

“I have no choice but to become stronger and obtain a holy relic that can at least destroy the sword of Cabaldo. That way, even if I make a contract with you, the Pandemonium won’t be damaged.”

“Hmm. It’s not like there’s no point at all. If growth is supported, no matter how much guntafer you are, you won’t be able to schem behind the scenes.”

Beriel nodded her head as if accepting a little.

“In that sense, help me a little.”

“Hmm?”

“I have to go to the troublesome place right now, but after a big fight a while ago, all my colleagues left.”

To attack here…

…you need a very strong body.
