Chapter 708
Episode 708 Hidden Snake (1)
“Hey, hey, I’m not going to die. I won’t kill you? If I keep irritating you, I could really kill you!”
“Kwaeeeeek!”
“I will survive. I will absolutely survive!”
A game of tag followed.
Catching the spirit beasts running here and there was not as easy as expected.
It was because everyone grew up going through all kinds of hardships.
Above all, since we had been together for a long time and had seen many of Jinhyeok’s attack patterns, it was not easy to create an opening unless it was a surprise attack.
at last.
Jinhyeok recruited additional colleagues to make the capture operation easier.
“Ellis.”
“…?”
“Don’t you want to taste different types of blood? I’ll give you some of the leftover blood after you donate. Please cooperate.”
“…!”
For the first time, I became interested in the eyes of Ellis, who was leaning against the wall with a bored expression.
That has to be the case.
For vampires, blood is the source of power and their favorite food.
Especially when it comes to the blood of creatures that are difficult and rare to obtain, the scent and deep taste are on a whole different level.
but.
“bothered.”
To Ellis, the taste of other people’s blood was not a very attractive proposition.
This was because I was already fascinated by the taste of blood, which was of the highest quality.
“Keeee….”
“Krrr.”
Meanwhile, insects continued to flock. No matter how much ‘Sanctuary of the Sun’ is activated, they will not be able to stop them forever.
“The longer you delay, the more efficient your magic consumption becomes.”
The burden on Frey, who was preventing insects through ‘playing with dolls’, was increasing. No matter how long the enemy was defeated, there was no reason to continue the war of attrition when the fight was already over.
…I can’t help it.
Jinhyuk took out the hidden card he had saved until the end.
“I’ll give you my blood too.”
“Did you promise?”
As if he was just waiting for those words. A red ring and a pair of wings appeared along Ellis’ back.
The full power shown for the first time since coming here.
Escaping from Ellis’s domain in a limited space was nearly impossible.
“The blood of this noble body is not allowed. It is not allowed!”
“Quiet.”
Phew!
Ellis’ straw was stuck deep in the soft black crane’s neck.
“Mosquito!”
And only after the blood of the sweet potato, which resisted until the end, was drawn out, the glass bottle was completely filled with blood.
Kukukuk!
The altar shook violently and then collapsed.
[You have obtained the ‘Book of Darkness’!]
Difficulty of acquisition: S
Content: One of the conditions for going to the deepest part of the Great Temple of Ramses. Depending on how you interpret the information in the book, you can get completely different results. A minimum of 7 stars or an S level or higher ‘interpretation’ ability is required.
[The gate leading to the desired point is activated.]
The desired location has already been decided.
Right then.
“…you must make a choice.”
Meaningful words flowed from the mouth of one of the statues.
Jinhyuk’s steps suddenly stopped.
“What do you mean?”
“You can’t get everything. Your precious people, your desired purpose, and even your wish for something more. At the last moment, you will be forced to make an unavoidable choice.”
“….”
“Contractor. We don’t have time.”
Ellis pulled Jinhyuk’s sleeve.
The size of the open gate was getting smaller and smaller.
If you don’t get out, you’ll have to go back the way you came.
“I took care of most of the injured people. Many of them are seriously injured, but if I treat them, they will survive.”
Teresa piled the unconscious people on top of the golden cart. Of course, I didn’t forget to faithfully fulfill Jinhyuk’s request to keep him unconscious for as long as possible.
Cough! Kang!
The number of victims falling into deeper sleep after being hit by the shield increased.
“….”
Jinhyuk stood there and looked at the statue for a moment longer.
And then he moved towards the gate.
Ugh!
As I passed the shimmering surface, my vision instantly turned white.
When I opened my eyes again, the scenery I saw had completely changed.
A loud noise and a crowd to match.
They were players from a large guild who had met a few hours ago and then parted ways.
“It looks like you also got the Book of Light.”
Teresa was the first to sense the sacred energy.
Jinhyuk nodded.
“Still, it looks like your skills have improved quite a bit. “It seems like there are many survivors.”
“That’s right, there are no contract devils over there, so of course… ah! “Why are you pinching me?”
“It’s better to refrain from saying things that might be misunderstood if someone hears them.”
“Jim was just telling the truth!”
“therefore. “I hate telling the truth.”
I understand why the old tyrants beheaded their loyal subjects. There would be a lot of stress if only the sugar-coated treacherous people were left behind, so there is no reason to keep people who speak the right words by their side.
Right then.
I could feel the harshness of life behind Jinhyeok’s back.
Kwaaaaang!
A clash of swords and swords occurred.
I can feel the will to cut it down completely.
Auror and Ganggi clashed at one point.
Parts…! Pachichik!
Sparks flying out in all directions.
Meanwhile, a cold voice penetrated my eardrums.
It was Master Gray who led the Dreadlore.
“If you don’t want to die, get out. Laurentia’s shame.”
“You can’t do that.”
Teresa took Gray’s sword from the front.
A deadlock ensued, but superiority and inferiority were not determined.
No, rather, Teresa’s divine power radiated a deeper color, even if only slightly.
Kwaaaaang!
Gray widened the distance.
“….”
Gray looked at the faintly trembling hand for a moment and glared at Jinhyuk again as if he were going to kill him.
“Mayer… where is he?”
“ah! “The friend who handled that sword?”
Jinhyuk touched his palms.
Then he pointed to the cart behind him.
“don’t worry. “Because he’s not dead.”
Just reading a 1,900 gold novel made me feel a bit out of my mind. Still, thanks to Teresa’s diligent care, he was able to save his life from drooling.
“Ubeeh….”
Mayer’s pupils went blank and tried to catch a flying fly.
The taste is completely gone.
It is said that there is no use in trying to hear the whole story.
The rest of the guild members also seemed to have suffered a serious mental blow. I think this part is more likely to be Teresa’s shield’s fault.
“I understand that you feel bad because your precious subordinates were injured, but we had a hard time taking care of those injured people and brought them out. I could have just ignored it and just grabbed a book and left. “More than anything, I want you to recognize that we are colleagues who must escape this hell together.”
Although the relationship is hostile, they do not abandon their love for humanity.
In addition, he has the ability to distinguish between public and private matters.
It was obvious even without looking at who the public sentiment of the remaining large guilds would be favorable to.
but.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
To Gray, causes or causes were not important.
Squishing and killing bugs that dare to rebel against him. Other than that, the rest of the things were minor.
“Shut up! Just pretending to be our guild and playing pranks is reason enough for him to die.”
“Whew. This really won’t work.”
Jinhyuk let out a long sigh and opened his mouth heavily, as if he didn’t want to say this much.
“Actually, we tried to keep quiet for your honor, but we saved Mr. Mayer’s life several times. We also became quite close with your engineering team members. In the end, he said he was sorry for misunderstanding and tried to kill us. “You even apologized?”
“Lies… will only stop when you die. If you live, you will continue to tell nonsense.”
Gray’s sword burned fiercely once again.
Just as Teresa and Frey were about to respond, a familiar energy rose from Jinhyeok’s body.
“Well, it’s not a lie.”
[The unique ability ‘Space Strike’ is activated!]
An all-too-familiar flow of magical power.
Patchoux!
A trajectory that cuts through the ground.
Let’s go!
It also has a unique characteristic of three accelerations as the distance narrows.
These were all things that Mayer enjoyed using.
“I can’t believe it…”
Gray looked at the sword image engraved on the ground right next to him.
Although it was only a fraction of the power and speed, it was a perfect Mayer-style attack that left no room for doubt.
“It’s okay to say I’m returning the favor, but in return, I learned the art of martial arts. I’m still a beginner, so I have a long way to go before I can catch up with him.”
“….”
Gray’s life became even lighter.
He was a subordinate who did not share his martial arts skills with anyone and considered it his own pride. If Mayer had taught them how to use a sword, it would have to be said that something happened between them that went beyond imagination.
so that.
Right now, it is no longer possible to continue attacking Jinhyuk.
***
Same time.
The alliance between Beriel and Egypt fought many fierce battles and penetrated deep into the demon world. We have advanced by overcoming three full-scale wars and dozens of local wars.
“I wonder how long the plan has been delayed.”
Osiris put up an ice pack to soothe his throbbing head.
“Because that damn bastard stole all of our elites and ran them away.”
“Thanks to this, we only gave the enemy more time to prepare while reorganizing.”
“Hahaha! But doesn’t everyone like that person because of his bold taste?”
“That’s because you’re not normal, Anubis. “I hope you don’t mistake it as normal when you see
people of the same kind being attracted to each other.” Each of the Egyptian gods said something one
by one. No matter how friendly they are and their relationship helps each other, no matter how much they think about it, Jinhyeok sees them as neighborhood friends rather than higher-ranking gods. It seemed like he was thinking.
“Well, are you criticizing my apostle? I will give you as many opportunities as you want later, so just focus on this for now.”
Beriel consoled the Egyptian gods who were very excited.
The entire Demon World had already been affected. A situation in which more than half of the population had been subdued.
All that was left was to capture the central city where Lucifer, the second-highest ranking demon, was located.
It was not an easy task.
Lucifer, who leads ancient demons and high-ranking demons, had built up the largest power for a very long time. That’s because.
In fact, the reason why the huge power called the Demon World was maintained against Eden was all thanks to the existence of an absolute being called Lucifer.
However,
if you just eliminate that guy, you can take control of the entire Demon World.
Of course, Egypt is allied with Beriel. It will also be able to exert great influence throughout the entire upper echelon.
Not only will it be able to overcome the deities of the ages that are already in decline, but it will also be able to reach the dragons and monster monkeys near the top level of the tower.
‘An all-out war against Eden. ‘It’s actually the last chance to organize internally before the process.’
Soon, Jinhyeok and his followers will join the upper echelons.
Once the all-out war is over, no matter who wins, it will be impossible to start a war for the time being.
The only way to conquer the demon world is now.
“What about the enemies?”
Beriel said. I asked Remia next to me. The maid, who was employed at Ellis’s home, received permission to concurrently work and participate in this war.
Remia, who was dressed in her original bewitching and captivating outfit for a long time, smiled brightly.
“I stayed in the castle and prepared for a sit-in strike. “It is an iron fortress that has never fallen before, so I guess they plan to hold out.” It is a fortress
blessed with natural beauty that once withstood attacks from archangels for 100 years. In
a typical water fortress battle, the attacking side has three times as many troops as the defending side. It was necessary, but this fortress was able to withstand a force ten times its size.
Moreover, in a situation where the two powers are currently similar in strength, there would be no need to say which side would be more anxious.
But,
“Securing the relics? ”
Beriel still had a secret weapon that could turn this situation around.
“I barely got it a few hours ago.”
Remia carefully took out the holy relic in the box.
Beriel nodded.
This would be enough to create a variable that could turn the situation around.
But just then.
Puffpuffpuck!
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Gagging!?”
An unfamiliar magical power intervened in the base of the alliance’s main gods.
In an instant, a bloodbath broke out, and the demon world warriors in charge of security fell left and right.
“What is this about treating guests?”
The owner of the voice shook the blood off his body.
…It was not a being from the demon world.
The type of magical power was completely different.
