Chapter 629
Chapter 629. Crouching Great Temple (3)
Vishnu wielding the holy relic lost some strength in his hand.
It had to be.
What Jinhyeok was saying was a plausible hypothesis.
‘Come to think of it, it was strange that Unknown appeared at this moment. If it was simply to let them know that Kang Jin-hyeok was aiming for the first lotus, he didn’t have to move.’
A gentle pebble thrown by Jinhyeok caused ripples in the lake.
The little doubts that I had hoped for became certain and started to come back.
“Do you think we still have to fight among ourselves?”
“…Certainly an explanation is needed. directly from the parties.”
There is only one way to know the truth.
You have to go and see it with your own two eyes.
“Good idea. Let’s do something with him first, then we’ll have a conversation or a dance.”
“Follow me.”
Laughing, Vishnu immediately turned his back.
“What is it?”
“Is it that easy?”
“What just happened?”
The members of the Goinmul Corporation who were watching could not accept this situation at all.
One of the gods of Cheonsei, who boasted of great power, gave up the battle meekly after a few words from Jinhyeok.
He even volunteered to serve as a guide, saying he would show the way he was going.
“Whoops! In fact, after being attacked by Jim once, I thought it wouldn’t work, so I did that. Jim’s mana must be so powerful.”
Elise was the only one who continued to talk to herself, but no one around her cheered her up.
[Vishnu ‘maintains the status quo’ – opens the way for all things!]
Ugh!
The ground collapsed with a bright light and a new path appeared.
A shortcut faster than Unknown went.
If you are here, you will be able to make up for the shortcomings of starting late.
“I’m just saying this just in case, but if you’re lying…”
“Then I’ll make you suffer from God’s punishment. Conversely, what if I was telling the truth?”
“…If that’s the case, since it would be a great help to us, I’ll hand over Unknown and propose to the rest of the main gods to end the war.”
armistice agreement.
This is an opportunity to put an end to meaningless fights and focus on more important goals.
That alone should be enough….
One more unexpected reward came out of Vishnu’s mouth.
“Also, I will give you the right to safely pass through the 45th floor and one of the holy relics except for the first lotus flower.”
“…I’m serious?”
“Unlike humans, gods do not speak two words with one mouth. I value balance and harmony more and more.”
This is an incredibly unconventional condition.
If the Cheonsei, who actually controls the mid-40th floor, gives permission, the stairs below it will also open the way.
You will be able to use your time efficiently by attacking only the labyrinths and ruins that are absolutely necessary.
In addition, since he was able to get his hands on the holy relics that Cheonsei possessed, he had to struggle to endure the shouts that erupted.
Jinhyuk tried to calm down his twitching lips.
This is why people must have good observation skills and must be good at talking.
“okay. Let’s make a contract.”
fault.
Quaang!
Everyone jumped out of their seats and sprinted forward.
⁕⁕⁕
How long did it run like that?
After going through numerous traps and mazes, the party was finally able to reach the heart of the great temple where the ‘first lotus’ rested.
‘Is it late?’
Jinhyeok looked at the side where the red light was seeping out.
The final gateway was already open.
and.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Inside, a terrifying magical vortex was gushing out.
“Stop!”
Realizing that the situation was not serious, Vishnu shouted and went inside first.
The original interior, which should be full of beautiful flowers and mysterious nature, is gone. There, red grudges full of pain were screaming in a big circle.
A demonic world that is completely different from the world of heaven.
Unknown was standing in the middle of a place reminiscent of hell.
While holding onto the ‘first lotus flower’.
“Answer me! How did this happen!”
Vishnu set up a pit on his neck.
Due to anger and betrayal, both eyes were red with bloodshot eyes.
“Hmm. In the end, you decided to listen to that person rather than me.”
“Are you talking about that? You must have said that you would seal the lotus flower so that no one could touch it. But why are you absorbing the mana from the flower?”
“Only then will we be able to win this war.”
Unknown calmly passed Vishnu’s gaze.
And that appearance crushed Vinyusu’s patience.
[The holy relic ‘Sharanga’ is summoned!]
A holy relic of Vishnu that can penetrate all materials.
An arrow made of magic landed between Unknown’s forehead in the space of a single breath.
Aaaaaang!
The earth shook with a roar as if a nuclear missile had fallen.
However, even with the one-hit kill attack, Unknown’s mask did not have any gold.
“Whoops. I was skeptical because it was a lotus flower that had fallen less, but the fact that it contains the essence of the 45th floor is not that small. If that’s the case, it’s okay.”
The completely withered petals fell to the floor.
At the same time, Unknown’s body radiated magical power that was different from that of the gods.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
All the downy hairs on the whole body stand up.
The overwhelming power reminded me of when I faced Shubnigurath.
As the lack of power was filled, all abilities were able to be used.
‘There’s no easy way to go.’
Jinhyuk patted his throbbing head.
I thought I was almost there, but the game wasn’t over, it was just beginning.
It’s also the worst development imaginable.
“You must have been disappointed because I only avoided battles in the meantime, but you don’t have to worry because that won’t happen anymore.”
[Unknown activates ‘Shadow Kill’!]
Unknown’s shadow slowly disappeared.
back!
As soon as he recognized the faint reverberation of magic, Jinhyeok’s sword moved like lightning.
Kaaang!
As sparks rose, daggers of the same shape collided.
“The response is good.”
“It doesn’t feel good to hear that from a fake guy.”
“You’re picky. Still, it will be the first time you’ve ever had a fight between your own kind, so please come forward with a little more joy. Wasn’t enjoying it your main specialty?”
“It’s been a while since someone said that in front of me. Let’s see if I can say the same thing a few minutes later.”
[Jinhyeok activates ‘Shadow Kill’!]
Shadows overlapped.
Amid the billowing black smoke, each other frantically moved to bite each other’s necks.
Looking around, I couldn’t see the outside as black afterimages colliding here and there.
But that’s for a while.
Jinhyeok slowly began to adapt to Unknown’s pattern.
‘He has a habit of grabbing the right back after giving three fakes.’
Kakakakakang!
Even while exchanging sums over ten times per second, he accurately grasped the opponent’s habits.
once.
Caang!
Once again.
Cacan!
If the last attack aimed at the uvula is even parried…!
Tsut!
The shadow behind Jinhyeok slowly stood up.
They say they will go to eighty when they are three years old. The most familiar and confident way is that you cannot hide it until you hide it.
Jinhyeok pretended not to notice and allowed the opponent’s attack.
Quaang!
The dagger pierced Jinhyuk’s spinal cord.
No, I thought it was dug in.
Until I realized that I used ‘1 second invincibility’ at the perfect moment.
“You knew?”
“of course. In 1:1, understanding the opponent’s battle pattern is the most important thing.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
Then he added a word.
“It’s an ability. It’s obviously strong because I use mine as it is, but… I guess it’s a bit lacking in actual combat experience.”
Compared to the absurd mana and various abilities, the seasoned taste is inferior.
It’s time to thoroughly isolate the opponent and then show them what it means to squeeze the opponent.
[Trait ‘White Beast’ is activated!]
[Trait ‘Speed Sword’ is activated!]
At the same time as the dagger became transparent, the speed of the sword increased by 2 steps.
Kaka Kaka Kakang!
drive like crazy
Unknown also activated the same ability half a beat late, but there was a difference in the sense and proficiency in handling the ability.
A balance that tilts slightly.
Fu-wook!
Jinhyeok’s sword pierced Unknown’s heart.
“Kuk!”
Unknown, who saved his life once through 1 second invincibility, suddenly widened the distance.
“Ha… ha…”
Unknown breathed heavily.
Although he endured by a narrow margin, there was no guarantee that the fluke would continue two or three times.
“Is the only thing left now is resurrection through the protection of the stars? Even that shouldn’t be an instant death.”
Jinhyeok took a slow step.
‘It’s a bit strange.’
Unknown, who thought he would become an atrocious enemy, was not as strong as expected. Even after absorbing the first lotus flower.
There are still plenty of cards left to use.
‘Have I become overly strong?’
Or…
are you doing it on purpose?
