Chapter 709
Episode 709 Hidden snake (2)
Zodiac sign.
They are the third force that dominates the 47th floor, the top floor of the Tower of Trials.
There were several closed forces in the tower, but the Zodiac was the exception among the exceptions, with communication with the outside world cut off the most.
Even if he moved just once, all he did was show up at small events that wouldn’t be noticed.
However, they have officially intervened in external affairs, breaking hundreds of years of impunity.
“Why are you…?”
Beriel took out the black spear Kishan.
“…A friend who is difficult to see here has arrived.”
“I see you’re alone?”
“No way… without that monster?”
The Egyptian gods each said a word and carefully looked around.
If it’s fortunate, is it fortunate?
There was only one sense of magical power.
The king of the ‘Miao’ tribe, a member of the Chinese zodiac. ‘Cheongha (淸河)’.
A girl with long rabbit ears shook the blood off her legs.
He showed off a fairly powerful fighting technique, but it was only for suppression purposes. No soldiers even lost their lives.
“I didn’t come here to fight. I’m not specialized in combat. But isn’t it too much to start wielding such vicious weapons? “To me, who is so weak.”
“You talk bullshit as much as you can. How can you act cute when your eyes are bloodshot and red after seeing blood? Tell me about your business. “Before I turn it into skewers.”
Beriel took a stance as if he was about to throw a spear.
Aside from everything else, it was unbearably annoying to be interrupted by a third party right before an important battle.
“Hmm. Are you really going to throw a spear at me? “With skills that are so embarrassing that you can’t even eat the entire demon world?”
Kwaaaaaaaa!
A black spear split the air.
Along with the terrifying piercing sound, the side of Cheongha was stained with black flame.
“The king of the cowardly rabbits went overboard. It seems like it could fall if I hit it hard. Should I at least call a turtle from the Dragon Palace?”
Beriel growled.
It is an undeniable fact that the Chinese zodiac rules the top floor of the tower.
However, that was not because the entire Chinese Zodiac had great fighting power, but because there were two overwhelming kings.
Among them, Jecheon Daeseong Son Wukong was powerful enough to kill even quite a few gods in an instant.
However, if Myowang Cheongha came alone and not them, it means that she alone poses no threat.
“As expected, bluff doesn’t work on a strong-willed demon lord.”
Chungha perked up her ears.
“That’s enough to say hello. Tell me why you came here. “I don’t have time to focus on anything else right now.”
“The tower is noisy these days for various reasons, right? Ancient beings that never wanted to move lifted their heavy buttocks. So among our zodiac signs, we are trying to stop being confined to one level by ourselves and come out and find suitable allies.”
“…what?”
Beriel’s pupils grew rapidly.
When Chungha first appeared, I thought she had just crawled outside to kill time.
Because of the nature of the zodiac, there was never any need to join hands with other forces.
But now the situation was going completely differently from the everyday category.
Chungha continued.
“The problem is who to join hands with… We are having a hard time because everyone has different opinions in that area. Thanks to this, there was a pretty big fight. “There are kings who have become enemies to each other.”
The 47th floor was split.
Those guys who moved together as one under the name of Son Goku.
The extent to which what Chungha is saying now is true will have to be thoroughly verified later, but if what she says is true, it can be seen that a big variable has been created that can change the balance of the entire tower.
“So… the great King Myo chose us?”
“huh. Because you are also related to ‘Kang Jin-hyuk’. “Not only our Miao people but also several other kings think the same.”
“Not a bad offer. “If only we could join forces on equal footing.”
“Foot. “On equal footing?”
Chungha snorted.
Then he snapped his fingers as if there was no problem.
“Even if it is an alliance, there is a definite hierarchical relationship. You are coming under us. “It’s not about sickling in the same place.”
“What if I refuse?”
“If you refuse, we may join your hostile forces. If anything happens, this war could be completely destroyed.”
A tone of voice that goes beyond confidence and is close to certainty.
Beriel’s mind was confused with all sorts of things.
It doesn’t matter if the few kings that Chungha talks about are just ordinary people. If Jecheon Daeseong or Umawang are included among them…
‘That could become a difficult task to handle.’
This is a decision that should not be made easily. It was an issue that could put a huge burden on the coalition due to just one word.
“Before making a decision, can I discuss it with Kang Jin-hyuk? “No matter what, he is the leader of our alliance.”
“That’s how considerate you can be. Instead, we will only give you three days.”
The war against Lucifer cannot be concluded within three days at the earliest. It was a way to prevent time from dragging on.
“…i get it.”
Beriel nodded heavily.
***
Gray pondered once again what Jinhyuk said.
“I learned the art of kicking…”
“Yes. Although we saved our lives, in a way, you can say that Mr. Mayer also saved our lives. In a short period of time, a sense of camaraderie developed. “You can listen to it for yourself later when you come to your senses.”
Jinhyuk blushed slightly.
I’ll never come back to my senses after reading the Necronomicon anyway, so who cares? Even if he just says what comes out of his mouth, Gray has no way of verifying the truth.
“Right. “I understand for now.”
The tense atmosphere eased as Gray recovered his magic power.
If Gray had seen the eyes of his companions full of disillusionment and contempt behind Jinhyeok’s back, he might have made a completely different decision.
However, it was impossible for Gray, who was preoccupied with Jinhyuk and the footmanship right in front of him, to catch such details.
But right then.
“They said that the unique ability might be the tongue, and that’s true. “I think this is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Gray embarrassed.”
“It certainly seems to be stronger than expected. “I may have adjusted my strength appropriately, but I was able to block an EX-level blow.”
“There was a reason why Director Seo Jeong-hee called us. “It is a troublesome enemy in another sense.”
New people stepped in on the other side of Gray.
These are the high rankers who were commissioned by Seo Jeong-hee, including Jang Bo-kyung.
“Hehe. “That person is Teresa.”
Among them were the Vatican hounds with a red cross drawn on them.
Naturally, everyone’s interest was focused on Teresa.
This is because Teresa had the highest name value among the small force known as the Stagnant Corporation.
A pillar of the Laurentian family that saved Amsterdam.
The only obstacle was this blonde saint.
“Are you Seo Jeong-hee this time?”
Jinhyuk shook his head left and right as if he was shaking.
It’s not like I’m dealing with some third-rate villain.
If you take one away, another one keeps popping out.
So much so that I think it could continue until season 10 if the roots aren’t changed.
Jang Bo-kyung pointed a finger at Jin-hyuk.
“Mr. Gray. “That person is a criminal and a fraudster who has threatened countless people, including you, the Titan Guild, and Director Seo Jeong-hee.”
He spoke a bit harshly at first meeting.
But since they are all correct, I can’t think of anything to correct.
“After Mayer wakes up, I will listen and decide for myself.”
“After you woke up? Can’t you tell if you look at that person’s condition right now? There is a chance that I will ever come to my senses…”
“Shut up! “Didn’t I say I would listen and decide for myself?”
Gray unleashed his magic power.
Kukukukukuku!
The lethality exuded by an EX-level player.
When Gray’s unique ability was activated, several beasts rose up following the shadow. They are all gray beasts made up of divine beasts and phantom beasts.
“Anyway, these men are so stubborn…”
Jang Bo-gyeong pursed her lips and took out a long needle with a polka dot pattern on it.
The rest of the high rankers who followed her also showed no sign of backing down.
Just before a battle breaks out between top monsters.
“I think everyone has become sharper due to the situation, so how about we leave it at this for now? As that friend said, we have to live together and have a chance to settle our respective interests, right? Moreover, considering the countless people waiting for us outside, I don’t think it would be a wise decision to cause internal strife.”
Nkrumah of the Shuja Guild quelled the burning flames.
In particular, the nuanced statement that they were watching from the outside played the biggest role.
Image was the top priority for all guilds.
“okay. “For now, getting out comes first.”
“I agree.”
“Because I gathered everything I needed.”
We have secured the Book of Light and the Book of Darkness that the explorers requested.
With these two items, the time has come to head to the final gate.
The previously heavy air became lively little by little.
This is because the hope for survival gradually became a reality.
Just one person.
‘Hmm. The structure here probably isn’t that shabby. ‘What will happen?’
Jin Hyuk-man was smiling with interest in a different way.
How long has it been like that?
“This text…”
“No. “It is correct to interpret it this way.”
“What are you talking about. “My interpretation rating is 5 stars.”
“Nothing much to say about only 5 stars. “I wonder if there’s anyone here who hasn’t reached that level.”
Voices rose among the explorers.
This is because there were conflicting opinions about how the two books should be interpreted. The engineering leaders of each guild couldn’t make a decision easily, as each person insisted that what they said was right.
This is because I have keenly felt how dangerous this labyrinth is through my experience so far.
While everyone was worrying, Jinhyeok was looking around the main hall.
‘It was made too well.’
A point quite far from the raid.
Jinhyuk touched one side of the pillar.
It is no exaggeration to say that it caused an outbreak of the entire labyrinth. It is so complete. If it weren’t for the system’s intervention, it was hard to believe.
It doesn’t seem to be the work of Outer Gods, whose specialty is reckless destruction. However, it wasn’t ‘that guy’s’ style of being meticulous and unexpected.
There is only one possibility.
Elder God.
They too must have been moving in earnest.
‘First of all, we need to make sure we are prepared.’
This event is helpful in many ways. It had the perfect environment to lay some groundwork for the future.
[‘Blessing of Anubis’ is activated!]
A wide wavelength spread along the pillar.
The waves resonated dizzyingly like piano sheet music, creating beautiful chords.
OK.
Kukukukuk!
An orange glowing item rose up from between the piles of dirt.
[You have acquired the ‘Red Legion Ant Pheromone.’]
Jinhyuk rummaged through the paper package.
‘Book of Darkness’.
It was a kind of summary book in which only the important contents were separately written, but thanks to the choice of ‘Libra Symbol’, I was able to easily find the items hidden in every corner of the temple just by writing down the key contents.
Next….
[The end sign of Aquarius, the zodiac sign, unfolds.]
Fragments of a beautiful star have melted into the dirt.
Little by little throughout the tower.
The energy of the stars was being shared and engraved.
As part of dozens of preparations to take on Azathoth.
But right then.
Among the waves that were spreading, some disappeared at some point.
“…hmm?”
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
This is because it was normally impossible for the special barrier wave created by mixing seven techniques to disappear.
Something is hidden.
The moment I thought that, my body moved first.
9-star ‘Beyond the Shadow’ 9-star ‘The Veil of the Multidimensional’ 9-star ‘Where the Wind Whispers’.
When three high-level barriers overlapped, a 2M gap was discovered in empty space.
And around that gap, languages that were on a different level from the ancient rune language were emerging.
no way.
Doubt soon became certainty.
It’s a language I’ve seen before.
It is an unknown territory where we do not yet know the full extent of it.
It is a ‘lost language’.
