CH 5

National Museum of Korea (2)

Tuk! Tuk!

Eat it.

Jinhyuk tapped Tiger on the back twice.

OK.

Aaaaaah!

A beast with a huge size smashed the ground.

The distance narrowed in an instant.

Puffy! Pupperbuck!

The jackals' bodies were torn apart like a piece of paper.

It is truly an overwhelming force.

Kae-gaeng!

ソ!

Like ants attacking dinosaurs, the five incarnations protecting Egypt died without even the slightest resistance.

Rumble!

Yuri's body trembled uncontrollably.

Hey, I can't do this. My summons are so useless...

That's absurd.

Clearly, I was sure it was the strongest defeat.

I thought it would be okay to get Daedongyeojido from the museum... .

Why?

I don't know why.

What was certain was the fact that the man in front of him was stagnant beyond imagination.

You. How many floors did you climb the tower?

Well. How many floors did you want to go?

Wait, no. You didn't go beyond the 20th floor, did you?

" "

Jinhyuk didn't answer.

The 21st floor. The 22nd floor... Or maybe it's the 2nd or 23rd floor? The 23rd floor?

Yuri continued to ask.

It's cute to go up one floor at a time.

Even talking about the 20th floor is almost out of breath.

How would you react if you went up to the 50th floor?

'Are you going to faint with foam in your mouth?'

I'm curious, but I'll pass that on to the next opportunity.

I don't think it's time to ask what floor I've been up to?

Jinhyuk approached Yuri's nose.

Yuri trembled in surprise.

Lord, do you want to kill me?

I don't have a hobby of killing frightened newbies.

Giggling while doing western schools graduated a long time ago.

Nu, whoever you look at is a newb! In my own way...!

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Give me the 'Mask of Tutankhamun' among the artifacts I got from the Egyptian Pavilion.

At Jinhyuk's words, Lee Yuri widened her eyes.

It's useless in Korea, where are you going to use it?

You don't know about that. If you don't want to camp in the tiger's boat tonight, just give it up.

Jinhyuk glanced at the tiger next to him.

Kurre...

He had already chewed and swallowed the jackals, so there was blood on his lips.

He looked afraid of coming out of his dream.

Lord, you can give it to me. Give it to me!

Reluctantly, Yuri pulled out the mask she had kept in her bag.

Pharaoh's mask made of gold.

[[Holy Relic (Replica)]

You have acquired the 'Mask of Tutankhamun'.]

'great.'

Following the first relic obtained on the first floor before coming here, I secured a second relic with this.

Are you also aiming for Daedongyeojido?

map?

right. There was such a thing.

I didn't pay any attention to it, so I forgot about it.

Information up to the 10th floor is written on it or something.

Well, I'll do that.

Jinhyeok, who smiled bitterly, stroked the tiger's back for the last time.

It's well guarded here. Don't let anyone follow you.

Ahh!

The tiger guarded the entrance to the floor leading to the next floor.

then.

'Let's go see.'

Jinhyuk walked up the stairs and went upstairs.

"This is really .. Surprisingly."

When we went upstairs, Min Jung-woo was waiting.

It looks pretty surprised.

I didn't think I could have imagined that Yuri would break through.

However, it was the same with this one that surprised me.

Why aren't you going inside?

The purpose must have been Daedongyeojido.

I don't understand why you're hesitating here.

I wanted to do the same, but someone put a barrier in front of it.

Min Jung-woo stretched out his hand toward the air.

Tuoung!

hand bounced off

Whether it's a physical attack or magic, it's useless. I've never seen this kind of barrier before.

That's right.

It's a one-star barrier.

Hey. Do you know about this?

About...

Unlike the barriers installed around the museum, this is 'real'.

barrier

It means barrier created through skill.

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

'Yeah, you were there.'

I know a player who often uses this ability.

There were too many of them in the game.

Jinhyuk, who had fallen into thought for a moment, opened his mouth.

I know how to destroy you. Dan.

only?

The inspiration must continue to use fire magic, so that the barrier can be weakened.

How long?

Until I go and gather all the relics I need and come back.

Heh heh. So. Can I use magic outside the barrier while you're inside?

hey comprehension is fast

'good job'

I want to take pictures of Dojo too.

I understand you don't believe it, but this is the only way. The day will soon be dawning, can't we all go out empty-handed?

I went to high school, but there was no income.

That would be the worst outcome.

Of course, I'll give you the map. I need more than that.

" "

Min Jung-woo kept his mouth shut.

Which one is better to choose?

Which one should I choose?

I started counting hard in my head.

However, no matter how much you think about it, there is only one conclusion.

I have no choice but to believe

It would be awkward for Min Jung-woo, but what can I do? that's the only way

Are you sure you're handing over the map?

Of course. I also don't want to remain hostile to the unique abilities of the magic family.

"I see I see. Trust me."

In the end, Min Jung-woo made a decision.

Please don't rest and keep going, or I'll be trapped inside.

I'll try my best.

Jinhyuk stood in front of the barrier.

And we found the weakest point of the barrier.

Where the flow of mana is deviated.

'It's here.'

carpo.

Latin in blood shone.

Now!

Whoops!

At Jinhyuk's words, Min Jungwoo spewed out a stream of fire.

A hot flame quickly heated the surface of the barrier.

right at that moment.

Pants!

A crack began to form in the middle of the barrier.

'done.'

Jinhyuk quickly entered the barrier.

Stand, hurry.

Min Jung-woo broke out in a cold sweat.

All right.

I intend to make an effort.

'On my own terms.'

Unlike the lower floor, the exhibition hall on this floor showed no signs of tampering.

no.

Exactly, there was only one thing that changed.

'I've already finished my work and left.'

Jinhyuk looked at the empty showcase.

It was a showcase where 'Iron Sword with Qianlong (乾隆)' was kept until a while ago.

Whether people fight elsewhere or not.

It was certain that he left after securing only what he wanted.

'Indeed, it is still not willing to take even a small risk.'

You just skip the most delicious thing, right?

But even that guy probably doesn't know.

The fact that what I took from this museum now is only a second-class artifact.

'I remember being here... .'

Jinhyeok walked between the exhibition halls.

Then it stopped in one place.

A round, circular artifact made of rusty iron.

Sangpyeong Tongbo (常平通寶).

It was created during the Joseon Dynasty and was used until the late period.

Of course, it was worth more than just a currency now.

'Finally found it.'

The corner of Jinhyuk's mouth went up.

A unique ability just for you.

And the last puzzle fragment needed for that.

Finally everything was in my hands.

That was then.

Gee, what are you doing now!?

Min Jung-woo, who was outside the barrier, shouted.

What are you doing?

Why did you stop at the wrong thing without securing Daedongyeojido right away?

Wait a minute. The map doesn't even have feet on it. I'll fix mine first and then wrap it up nicely.

Interfering with the most important times.

Jinhyuk sat down in his seat.

And the relics from the museum were laid out on the floor.

'Mask of Tutankhamun (B)'.

What we need here is the part corresponding to the 'right eye'.

Ududuk!

After excavating the part with excessive eyes, it was placed in the 'Persian ceremonial mold (E)'.

[Two relics react.]

A short message appeared.

It was a message that appeared only when the appropriate relics met.

At the same time.

It also meant that if you wanted to proceed further, you would have to pay a reasonable price for it.

Whoops!

'Sangpyeong Notification (D)' held by Jinhyuk in his hand

15 dropped into the mold.

OK.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

An indescribable energy began to flow from the mold.

[3 relics react!]

[You have succeeded in fusion!]

[You have acquired the relic 'Eyes of Truth (SS)'!]

[Eyes of Truth]

Acquisition Difficulty: SS

Contents: You can view other people's status windows. Able to determine the 'true/false' of what the subject said (3 times a day).

'Success!'

pounding! pounding! pounding!

Jinhyuk's heart was beating like crazy.

Five 'eyes' exist in this world.

Among them, 'The Eye of Truth' was evaluated as the best eye.

yea that's the way it is

Three times a day, these eyes had a special effect that could tell the truth of what others said.

It is indeed a deceptive effect.

However, it wasn't just because he had acquired the 'eyes of truth' that he was so excited.

It was because he knew that a bigger reward would follow after a while.

[You have successfully fused through the worst probability.]

[You have achieved the performance.]

[You have acquired the unique ability 'Fusion (Overrank)'!]

Fuse 3 B-grade or lower replicas to make an S-grade or higher item.

This was the condition for acquiring the unique ability 'fusion'.

And.

Among the countless relics and items, there is only one case where this combination is possible.

It's just a case of merging those three.

[Unique ability 'fusion']

Acquisition Difficulty: Unmeasurable (Overrank)

Description: You can save other people's unique abilities and skills in the 'memory of the world' by completing certain quests, and you can create high-level abilities by fusing the skills stored there.

However, if the difficulty of the copied conditions increases rapidly. Some conditions may be modified.

Copy and save the numerous abilities that exist in the world.

The stored abilities are fused to create more powerful skills.

This was the reason and purpose of coming here today.

Whoa.

Jinhyuk let out a breath he had been holding back.

I've been preparing all evening to get these two, and things went smoothly.

at that time.

Hey! I don't know what you did, but once it's done, quickly... it's hard no more!

Min Jung-woo bit his teeth and shouted.

Now his face was completely white.

It was a side effect from mana depletion.

'where. Shall we see what we have to do to copy that old man's abilities?'

[Copy conditions: Min Jung-woo always hides his emotions while wearing a mask. Let him reveal his true intentions.]

'In one word, make me mad, isn't it?'

Of course, it's easy.

Especially if you are in the same situation right now.

Jinhyeok took out the Daedongyeojido and walked towards Min Jungwoo.

That skill. You can stop using it now.

What? What does that mean?

Actually, you don't have to.

Shouldn't it be something else to weaken the barrier and continue to use attack magic?

Where is that nonsense?

The way they work in the first place is different.

It is enough to simply write the incantation of Pahoe in Latin where the flow of mana is out of line.

The person who opened this barrier was still only level 1.

Well, then why did you ask me to use skill...?

Why?

"That way, all of your mana will be depleted."

It's because of this.

I watched him sweat profusely and use magic hard.

I don't even have the strength to lift my fingers anymore.

what if.

Even if you burn the map in front of your eyes.

Whoops!

Jinhyuk used a lighter to light Daedongyeojido on fire.

In an instant, the flames began to gnaw through the paper.

Gee, what are you doing now! Why the hell are you burning it! Why the hell...?

As I said before, I don't need this.

You already know everything about the tower.

Maps mean nothing.

'by the way. I mean, it's a waste to give it to someone else.'

With a map, someone could find out information up to the 10th floor.

I was in danger of losing my advantage.

If so, the surest way is to eliminate that possibility.

just like right now.

This, I will kill this, I will kill you! It will be very changed!

Min Jung-woo has lost his temper.

'Wow. He was also the style of spitting out very thickly when he was angry.'

That is why people should not judge based on appearance alone.

timely.

[The condition has been met.]

[Successfully copied skill 'Element of Fire (B)'!]

[The copied skill is saved in 'Memory of the World'.]

[Element of Fire]

Acquisition Difficulty: B

Description: Handles flames and increases affinity for fire.

A status window appears indicating that the copy conditions have been met.

'The element of fire... .'

Not a bad start for a first copy.
