Episode 627. Crouching Great Temple (1)

“Right now…”

Brahma’s voice trembled violently.

I can’t believe….

I never thought that what I denied would come true.

How the hell does he even know that information? How was he able to control the air fortress Vimana?

Thousands of questions cluttered my head

. I couldn’t afford to worry about that right now.

“Stop fighting right now!”

The ‘first lotus flower’ is a symbol of the world and at the same time the source of power to maintain the 45th floor. At any rate, if he loses it, Cheonsei will no longer have a chance to go upstairs.

It just has to be stopped.

Even if it means sacrificing everything else.

but.

[Beriel throws ‘Dark Spear Kishan’!]

[Gabriel activates ‘Proclamation of Sanctuary’!]

Quaaaaaaaa!

Whoa!

Different lights blended together.

Demonic magic and divine power simultaneously exploded on the army of Cheonsei, who was about to retreat.

“Aagh!”

“Aagh!”

The limbs are cut off and the whole body is burned.

Terrible magical storms exploded one after another, resulting in a huge number of victims.

It seemed that he hadn’t done his best on purpose until now.

“Never let the enemy go back!”

“Strike!”

Odin and Cronus encouraged the remaining troops to switch to the offensive.

[The Absolute of each myth activates the special skill ‘cry of the tribe’!]

[The morale of members belonging to the myth increases by 250%!]

[Attack power and fighting spirit increase dramatically as physical strength decreases!]

Here and there Various buffs and wide area skills were activated.

A roar erupted from all over the realm, as if the sky was roaring.

“Kuk!”

Brahma clicked his tongue at the unexpected counterattack.

It is clearly a power car that cannot be compared yet.

however.

Everything changed the moment I showed my back to move to the place where the first lotus flower was.

The cornered mouse started to bite the cat.

However, Cheonse, who had no choice, had no choice but to issue an order to retreat even at the cost of huge losses.

⁕⁕⁕

Same time.

Jinhyeok, riding on Vimana, arrived at the Unkran Grand Temple with the first lotus flower.

It is located in the deepest part of the entire 45th floor, and at the same time, it is the place with the most energy of Mother Nature.

‘It’s also a place where security is relatively loose.’

To prevent the mixing of external impure energy.

Thanks to that, getting in here is not that difficult.

of course.

There is no way that Cheonsei would have left the most important holy relic unprotected.

Jinhyeok slowly checked the entrance to the forest.

At first glance, it looks ordinary, but if you go inside without thinking, you can’t get out forever.

“Is it a labyrinth?”

Chun Yoo-seong also sensed a subtle sense of incongruity emanating from the entrance.

It was the same with Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min, who were worn out.

“It won’t be easy to attack.”

“I sent 7 S-class detection drones, but they all lost reception.”

Even wide-area detection drones that can cover several kilometers in one minute cannot detect it. This is not something that can be resolved in a day or two.

“What are you going to do, contractor?”

Alice glanced at Jinhyeok.

Now, when a situation arises, it has become a matter of course to trust and follow Jinhyeok’s decision. Even Chun Yoo-seong, even though he grumbled, quietly followed along.

“It’s unfortunate, but it’s impossible for me to completely attack this area within a few hours. Even if Brahma or Shiva or Vishnu were in this place instead of me, the result would be the same.”

There is no such thing as a perfect solution.

but.

There are exceptions to everything.

that buck

Behind the members, new figures appeared.

“Hmm. Looks like we got it right.”

“Lord. All missions have been completed.”

“In the first place, the probability of success was 72.5%. huh.”

They were Pesis, Wolyeong, and Frey.

They were entrusted with destroying the seven towers around the crouching temple.

In order to enter this, the barrier spread across the Great Temple had to be weakened, but the ‘Tower of Torment’, consisting of seven, was playing that role.

Each tower was guarded by named-class gods and guardians, but the three completed their respective tasks perfectly.

“Mr. Pesis, please lead the way.”

In order to attack in the shortest period of time, Pesis’ help is absolutely necessary.

“It’s not enough, but I’ll do my best.”

Pesis grinned.

Jinhyuk’s gaze turned to the side.

“Yeonhwa and Taemin stay here and protect Vimana. By now, the other side will probably notice and send all their efforts to protect the lotus flower.”

It is Lee Tae-min’s mechanical corps that can show off the greatest firepower in the Great War.

It should be optimized for defense as it can fight thousands of troops alone.

As a wingman, the flexible shoes that have been combined for a long time were matched.

“And Yoosung, I’ll ask you to go to the entrance. Stop the enemy’s pursuit as much as possible.”

“You mean alone?”

Chun Yoo-seong’s eyebrows curled in a reverse shape.

The enemy’s first priority is to protect the first lotus rather than to recapture Vimana.

Since I was entrusted with the most dangerous mission alone, I had no choice but to be reluctant.

“It’s something that can only be entrusted to the most reliable and strong people. Who else could be here but you? me? no way. I have no clue.”

“Keuheum… Well, that’s not wrong.”

“right? Besides, as the vice-captain of the Goinmul Corporation, wouldn’t the rest of the members be reassured if you step in at a time like this?”

“That’s true, too.”

“Are you going to do it?”

“Before that…”

Chun Yoo-seong’s hand touched the handle of the sword.

A bleak life slowly bloomed.

“You’re not going to throw me away after using me again, are you?”

Having suffered dozens of hundreds of times, it has now reached the point where the suspicious disease dominates the whole body.

However, no matter how suspicious he was, Jinhyeok did not change his expression and looked at Chun Yooseong with a bright gaze.

“You are one of my most trusted colleagues. Don’t worry, that will never happen.”

With a voice that doesn’t waver at all. A hand imbued with conviction was placed on Chun Yoo-seong’s shoulder.

“Okay. I’ll trust you last. It’s right that the strongest person is in charge of the last line.”

Chun Yoo-seong accepted the job.

So each role is determined.

Jinhyeok headed in front of the huge statue at the entrance.

Dark red magic radiated from the statue that looked similar to Haetae.

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

The statue, which did not respond to the drones, did respond to the approach of the intruders.

“Those who dare to enter the sacred area. They will not escape death!”

A loud voice rang out.

“Is it Gate Guardian?”

“It won’t be easy from the start.”

“It’s pretty strong. Yes.”

It is magic that even numbs the skin.

This level of voice alone must mean that it is a fairly powerful divine beast.

but.

It does not blindly attack intruders.

[‘Divine Guardian’ throws a three-question answer. If you answer all the questions correctly, you will be able to enter safely, and if you give even one wrong answer, you will face the guardian’s wrath!]

Like the Sphinx in Egypt, it only serves as a gatekeeper suggesting a game to the opponent.

‘Well, getting involved in this game itself is what they’re aiming for, though.’

The questions given by the guardians are virtually impossible to answer because they consist of inside information only they know that cannot be answered.

Even if you give an incorrect answer, a debuff is applied to all stats.

In particular, if you focus on dark attribute abilities, you will receive an additional penalty equal to twice the existing debuff.

It comes to the conclusion that it is better to fight now, before the question is asked, than to fight after the question is answered.

“I’m going to ask you three questions from now on. Answer them correctly.”

The guardian looked at the intruders one by one with blue eyes.

While creating an atmosphere in which anyone can naturally get involved.

“The Unkran Great Temple is a sacred place that even the gods of the world cannot enter without permission. However, if some of the permitted high priests do ‘this’, they are permitted to enter. Tell me what it is.”

“…”

Jinhyeok didn’t answer the question.

3 seconds. 2 seconds. 1 second…

After a certain amount of time passed, the guardian giggled and stood up.

Crunchy!

The stones shattered and Haetae’s gigantic body exposed its teeth.

It was because I was thinking of munching on it alive after applying the debuff.

Right then.

Tuuk.

A large magic crystal fell at Haitai’s feet.

It was characterized by a strange whirlwind inside the magic stone, which was a little different from the normal magic stone.

“This, this…?”

Haitai’s voice trembled violently.

This is because the unbearably sweet scent penetrated every cell.

‘Heh.’

Jinhyuk smiled confidently.

I can’t stand it.

How could a divine beast refuse the special nutritional diet that made even the ancient sweet potato turn its tail like a motor?

Moreover, for a guardian who has lived only on dew because of penance, the current scent is bound to be more fatal.

[‘Mentra Taming’ is activated.]

As long as he used his unique abilities specialized in taming divine and phantom beasts, the result was as if it were fixed.

“I’ll tell you the answers to all three questions at once.”

Jinhyeok took out another magic stone and waved it in front of the guardian.

“The correct answer is magic stone candy that is good for the body and tastes good.”

“Ma…standard candy…candy.”

Like a zombie, the guardian followed what Jinhyeok said.

“How is it? That’s the correct answer. Isn’t it?”

“….”

For a moment, it seemed as if his inner worries were passing by, but he soon made up his mind.

“That’s correct.”

[You have passed the three questions.]

[You have obtained 1 ‘Key of High Priest’.]

Jinhyeok received the key from the guardian’s mouth.

Then he pushed the key into the tiny crack in the entrance.

Chunk!

[Another entrance to Unkran Grand Temple is open!]

[You have found a special passage for high priests.]

[The difficulty of the labyrinth is reduced by 50%!]

“Jinhyeok… You always go far beyond my common sense.”

Pesis shook her head with a puzzled expression. When

I first saw this labyrinth, I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to attack it, but with Jinhyeok, it was the most atrocious labyrinth. ***

About 1 hour later.

[The gate opens!]

Numerous

gates

opened near the entrance of the Kungkran Great Temple.

The vanguard to protect the first lotus has arrived.

At the forefront is ‘Shiva,’ the god of destruction. He

is one of the three gods of the world and is regarded as the strongest of all gods in terms of power.

“Where are humans? ….”

As soon as she crossed over from the gate, something was caught in Shiva’s senses, which were detecting magical powers.

It was

Cheon You-seong

. “There’s a lot of them

. ” “Is it just one person guarding the entrance?”

Shiba let out a long sigh. His

rage

at the fact that he looked at them in such a funny way grew mad.

At the same time, he drank that one person alive. I vowed to rip off Jinhyeok’s head at once.

At that time,

“To be honest, before the fight, if I have to confess, I’ve been scammed a lot. I was sucked up to the very marrow by that bastard.”

Chun Yoo-seong spat out an unexpected remark.

“The damn bastard… Kang Jin-hyeok? You mean you’ve been living with the same side?”

“Because people you know are more terrifying.”

“Hah… so. If you want to listen to your stupid complaining…” ”

No,”

Cheon Yoo-seong . “I just wanted to say that it wasn’t a scam this time.”

As

soon as Chun Yu-seong finished his words,

a huge amount of magic power suddenly appeared here and there.

This time, unlike Chun You-seong, it wasn’t unfamiliar magic.

“You…”

Shiva’s mouth opened wide.
