Chapter 696
Episode 696 Ellis’ Rest (2)
The pouring moonlight illuminated the room through the window.
There were only two men and women in the pure white bed.
“Contractor…”
Saliva running down the small neck. My mind had already turned white a long time ago.
It’s a moment I’ve been waiting for for a long time.
Whispering love with a loved one in a closed place was one of Alice’s dreams.
Kongdakkongdak!
A sweet and tingly feeling that I had never felt before enveloped my entire body.
A life lived solely for the revival and revenge of Ataraxia.
Dating was something that had nothing to do with Ellis.
It was so unfamiliar and unfamiliar that I felt like I was going to die of awkwardness, but I didn’t hate this feeling.
“Tell me.”
Ellis, who had already decided on a name for her grandson, held the bedsheet tightly in her small hands.
One second, like an eternity, passes.
Jinhyuk gave the answer he had been waiting for.
“Actually, I invited some guests here. I feel a little sorry to say it now, but will you understand?”
ah!
timely. I think we have arrived.
It was difficult to convey the coordinates because it was a place hidden in the shadows, but I was fortunate that Heimdall of Northern Europe was able to help me flexibly.
[A new force enters the territory of Ataraxia.]
“You must take care of this separately later. We had a lot of trouble moving this many people.”
Multiple magical powers appeared inside the castle.
They were the spirit king and spirit beasts in Yotleam Canyon.
As Yomaganto withdrew, the darkness that had encroached upon the entire canyon disappeared, but the magic of the sapling that had seeped into every nook and cranny was not something that could be removed in a short period of time.
so that.
“I’m sorry.”
“I thought I might owe you something.”
“Hahaha. It’s an honor to be the famous Fortress of Ataraxia.”
The tower’s refugees(?) needed a place to stay.
A place that has been abandoned for a long time and is filled with the pure magic of the tower, without having to worry about what the outside world thinks.
“Yiyi…Yiyi….”
Ellis’ body trembled.
If you go into a place full of electric eels, this is exactly what it looks like.
“I have been waiting for this date with some kind of heart…”
[Magic power materializes.]
[The barrier spread across the castle collapses.]
A red ring slowly forms.
Kwachachachang!
All the windows in the castle were smashed.
“Hey!”
Remia instinctively felt a sense of danger and began to run away as far as possible.
“I couldn’t sleep well because I thought we would be alone for the next week…”
Cuckoo!
It’s a scary life.
The realm made of blood was such that even Azathoth had no choice but to be wary.
[The barrier exceeds the limit it can withstand.]
[The twelve signs of the zodiac lose their light.]
‘That’s nonsense.’
Jinhyuk looked at the shattering constellations. The defensive walls that had been built around the entire castle in case of emergency were collapsing like glass castles.
Something is wrong.
And very tightly.
“Ah, Asgard. No, anywhere is fine, so send me away quickly!”
Heimdall tried to open the gate to ‘Bifrost’ as soon as possible.
[Space movement was denied for the safety of Northern Europe.] The
final escape route disappeared with a resolute red status window.
“Eh Ellis?”
Jinhyuk took a step back without realizing it.
sincerely. Even if I used all of my unique skills and abilities, I couldn’t imagine being able to defeat the angry girl in front of me.
[The Book of Revelation ‘Lord of Emperor’ is activated.]
A perfectly blooming wave of fresh blood.
“Die. With that lost sense of humor.”
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The Revelation of Gaebyeok swallowed up the entire fortress.
***
A storm passed.
Jinjo’s anger raged throughout Black Castle, but fortunately the worst outcome he had imagined did not occur.
It’s not just because I was lucky.
It was thanks to the promise of commensurate tribute and compensation.
“Don’t ever think that I’ll forgive everything for this… Mmm. This is really delicious.”
Ellis chewed the food in her cheek like a hamster.
Various delicacies served at the ‘Other World Restaurant’.
The first condition was for Jinhyuk to be next to me and feed me a bite at a time.
Afterwards, take a bat-shaped ferry on a river made of blood. A Spartan journey awaits, with a walk through the screaming forest and a final blood-draining session under the crescent moon.
Although I had a pretty rough day, I still thought it was worth the price of my life.
‘Afterwards, I was able to receive help from the spirit kings and spirits, so it’s not all that bad.’
The hard work is worth it.
More than anything, it felt refreshing to come to the place where Ellis lived.
‘Come to think of it, this is my first time looking around this place so comfortably.’
Black Castle is one of the most difficult places to access on the 30th floor. No one is allowed to enter without Ellis’s permission.
In terms of difficulty, it is said to be comparable to the highest level ruins.
Of course, in the past when there was no contact, there was no reason to come here.
There was no need to take such a big risk and upset Jinjo.
But now that it has become a reality, I have built a friendship with Ellis. Thanks to this, I was able to have new experiences that I couldn’t have before.
…This is why the Tower of Trials is fun.
There was a lot of content that hadn’t been done yet.
‘Now that I have some free time, I’ll try to settle the accounts that were delayed.’
Ellis, who ate well and played well, was currently fast asleep in her bedroom. Refugees from the canyon were also busy relieving their fatigue from their long journey.
Now I can finally have some alone time.
Jinhyuk opened the personal status window and subspace inventory at the same time.
Tiring!
A cheerful notification sound rang.

The level I raised during this battle was a whopping 11.
Considering my current level, I had gained an incredibly large amount of experience.
‘Still, the only regret is not being able to stop Yomaganto’s life.’
If you had succeeded in hunting down one of the Primordial Beings, you would have gained much more experience and rewards.
still.
I obtained a variety of rewards that were enough to assuage my disappointment.
‘Let’s distribute the stats first.’
It has already been decided what to invest in.
[Magic power increases from 809 → 829.]
[Strength increases from 125 → 138.]
Wow!
A warm power spread throughout my entire body.
The muscles in my body became more defined, and the magic flowing through my veins became more stable.
The most important thing in the future war against Eden is the completeness of the base.
In order to use ‘Labyrinth Creation’ freely and also use ‘Rainbow Bridge’ copied from Medray, the higher the magic stat, the better.
Also, attention was paid to overall balance by making up for the relatively insufficient power this time.
Next…
it’s time to check out the items you’ve been looking forward to!
Raising my stats made my heart race, but the most thrilling thing was still the things I could get my hands on.
[Gray Staff of Resentment]
Difficulty of obtaining: SSS
Magic Attack Power: 88000
Description: A magical tool from another dimension used by Clemence that increases the proficiency of all black magic skills by +20%. Additionally, when this black magic reaches a certain level, you will be able to use the abilities of the dimension where Clemence was.
[Unclaimed Shadow Seedling Root 100g]
Difficulty of acquisition: Unmeasurable
Description: A plant that grows in the palace of Azathoth. Saplings that emit purple oxygen can contaminate or strengthen targets.
[Yomaganto Flame Piece (Material Type)]
Difficulty of acquisition; Unmeasurable
content: The demon of Yomaganto, one of the Outer Gods. The unquenchable flame can completely burn and destroy the target.
In addition, I obtained the armor used by Jack Eden, the leader of Swingbat, and various types of magic stones and by-products.
Even when viewed individually, these items have deceptive abilities.
But Jinhyuk had something else to aim for.
‘I need to upgrade the First Blade.’
Special reinforcement.
The current performance will be greatly increased using items from a different dimension than the ancient power. So that it can be used in bigger battles to come.
Plans were organized step by step in Jinhyeok’s head.
After a few hours, a rough blueprint was drawn up.
Jinhyuk’s eyes sank one level further.
Because the last thing to do was the most important and had to be done carefully.
Jinhyeok took out the banned book that he had stored deep in subspace, along with the ‘Crown of the Blade’ and the ‘Crown of the Swift’.
Parts…!
Green and purple smoke flowed out.
The air changed completely with the sound of insects whispering.
Necronomicon.
Difficulty of obtaining: Cannot be expressed in words.
Content: This contains all kinds of information about the 50th floor, its interpretation, and finally, guesses and assumptions. However, because it is written in a special language and codes, a very sophisticated approach is required to interpret it.
A book containing all the information on how to conquer the 50th floor.
There are so many things that are still shrouded in mystery.
‘It’s going to be a difficult journey. ‘The experience I’ve acquired will be less than 30% of the total.’
Jinhyuk also did not know everything about the 50th floor. Above all, due to the nature of the 50th floor, where extreme changes occur, there was no guarantee that the existing information would lead to the right path.
thus.
Whether or not you can master this perfectly will determine the success or failure of conquering the summit.
***
The day before the event of the century called ‘War of the Stars’ was held.
All media and media outlets around the world were focused on the United States.
-The number of concurrent viewers is expected to be over 1.0856 billion, and all large guilds and solo rankers are gathering in the United States.
– The diplomats and entourage representing the G20 are currently…
– At the stadium, which was built on the largest scale in history, all preparations are completed and the players are expected to enter….
TV and the Internet have been talking about this all day for a week already. there was.
That has to be the case.
This event is a place to select the gems to conquer the top of the tower.
It is only natural that there would be a strong response to something that depends on the survival of humanity.
and.
In order to show off their presence on the best stage, each country and guild literally intended to pour everything they had.
“…All the most famous faces have gathered together.”
“That’s right. “Even when we attacked the ruins before, not all of the members gathered like this.”
These were Ivankovic, a Russian ranker, and Kiyov, a ranker in the European Union.
In order to more accurately distinguish between the increasingly higher levels of players, they were promoted to S rank. SS-class and SSS-class. On top of that, the EX-class, of which there are only 5 people in the world, was added. A
non-standard strongman who signed a direct contract with the main
god-level. Monsters that could conquer ruins and labyrinths alone were included in the EX category.
And.
Ivan . Kovich and Kiyov were strong men who had recently been promoted from S-class to SS-class. It was
a time when they wanted to show off their power.
So, they were constantly looking for opportunities to find a suitable prey.
Right at that time.
There.
A familiar figure appears:
Yoo Cheon-young,
an old tiger who is the only pillar of the collapsing Republic of Korea.
