. Horn of Despair (2)

...I thought I had worked hard to erase my presence, how did you notice?

A man's voice was heard from behind the pile of gold.

It was Liao Yu of the Chinese Guild who showed up.

how did you notice

I'm not even writing a letter in front of Confucius.

In fact, I used a virtual barrier, so I can't get over it even if I want to pretend I don't know.

I'm pretty good at barriers. Besides, if you want to hide the characteristic disgusting smell, take a shower at least once a day. Please.

Jinhyuk shrugged.

I expected that Moorim would know about this place too, but it would be better to scrape it gently like this here.

In particular, the higher the self-esteem, the more likely this childish provocation would work.

That snout...!

I got tired of making clumsy threats. Rather than that, where did Namgungcheon go, and are you the only one here?

Of course, I thought Namgungcheon would also be there, but the most important lead actor was nowhere to be seen.

There is no need to come to Namgungcheon-nim to deal with you alone. He left here after obtaining only the Karma needed to select a faction. You only need to focus on me.

Hmm, that's how it happened

Well, from his point of view, it would be better to skip the kernels and go back to Moorim than to fight in a place like this.

Well. I think it's worth a try if you come all the way to Namgungcheon?

Yeah... just keep wiggling around. I'll make the smile disappear from that face.

Liaowi's lips twisted slightly.

At the same time.

Pants... !

A long scroll popped out of Liaoyu's subspace inventory.

'Is it a special item?'

The energy I feel is unusual... .

The moment I thought so.

[The relic 'Kwak-hee's Jo Chundo (早春圖)' is activated!]

A landscape painting unfolded in front of me.

The natural scenery expressed in ink... .

However, the deep sense of incongruity is probably due to the numerous characters who should not be in nature.

Is it transfer through painting?

...It's ridiculous. This is a relic that I received directly from Moorim, but you know this.

Liaoyu clicked her tongue in shock.

But that's just the sound of pain.

In fact, Liaoyu still had an overwhelming advantage in the ideal situation with such a hidden card.

'Indeed, it must have been quite a lot of preparation.'

The method of hiding the players of the Chinese guild in a picture and then calling them inside is not a common method.

To intervene so deeply in the system, it must mean that Moorim was also overworked.

To the extent that if it fails, the balance of the middle layer is completely destroyed. He must have crossed a very dangerous bridge in Moorim.

It's okay to just go out like that? Coins and relics aside. If this fact got into the ears of managers, it wouldn't be a big deal, would it?

Thanks for your concern. That won't be a problem. If you kill all the Witnesses here, this won't come to light.

I was able to see the inside of the labyrinth thoroughly at the Masked Ballroom, but there was only one.

I couldn't get a glimpse of this tomb.

This is because this is a special place under the influence of the boss monster on the 25th floor, so even the administrators could not exercise their authority recklessly.

Of course, Jinhyuk also chose this place with that in mind.

That advantage also applied to Liaoyu.

There .

[Liaoyu wants 'the protection of the forces']

[The giant power 'Wulim' responds to Liaoyu's response!]

The sky opened, and a huge light fell.

kukukuku!

The elder brother of Mo Yong-se. Mo Yong-su appeared in the labyrinth.

"This time, I will completely stop breathing."

[The space transition from 'Kwak-hee's Jo Chun-do (早春圖)' has been completed.]

The Chinese Guild 5th raid has all been deployed.

The 50 special forces under Yang So-pyeong of the 4th Raid have just arrived.

The six executives were perfectly prepared as you said.

127 people in total.

We raked in so many people that we couldn't see it from the outside.

It's not a very large number, but it doesn't matter.

It was because they were equipped with special weapons for catching named monsters specialized in person-to-person combat rather than large boss monsters.

All of these were customized cards prepared to capture Jinhyuk.

Above all, the situation was completely tilted to one side by joining even Moorim's Mo Yongsu, who has thick bones.

...the guild master and the guinea pig seem to be all dead.

I told him to only get rid of those around Jinhyuk.

It was as if I had lost my life on my own.

'It's stupid... .'

But he is different.

In terms of skills, it wasn't that much different from the demon lord Yeomho, but there were treasures here that could supplement other than skills.

It seems that you also know a lot about towers, but I'll let you know that there is a mountain that can't be crossed with shallow knowledge.

Mo Yong-su stretched out his hand to the side.

Here it is.

Then, as if waiting, Liaoyu handed him a brightly lit medicine.

[Mana's nucleus.]

In terms of Moorim, it is an elixir that has a similar effect to that of Shaolin's Great Hwandan (大還丹).

No, it may be much higher in terms of efficiency than that.

Because mana's core has the characteristic of being absorbed into the body immediately after absorption without the need for fortune-telling.

Jinhyuk Kang! You mustn't let me eat that!

Mr. Jinhyuk!

Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa also felt that the weakness was unusual, so they immediately drew their weapons.

He instinctively realized that the situation would be much worse if he stood still.

But.

gulp!

Mo Yong-su had already poured the drug into his mouth.

It's late...

Oh !

A sigh escaped the two of them. However, it was only for a short time.

Because what followed after the sigh was a life that stabbed to the bone.

rapidly changing air.

I'm short of breath.

kukuku kuk kuk!

A black mist began to rise around Mo Yong-su's body.

From the fact that the tangible flag can be unfolded so clearly. It also meant that there was no comparison with the ghost blood lord he had dealt with a while ago.

Fuhahaha! Yes. That's it! I can't control the boiling power!

Mo Yongsu burst out laughing like crazy.

Of course, I can't help but be happy that I gained an additional air force that reached 1st in one shot.

Even if the effect of the Great Hwandan is only about 1 hour, it is now possible to show off such a powerful majesty that no human can stand up to it at this moment.

Well .

Jinhyuk scratched his chin.

It's nice to see you're full of confidence after you've become the final weapon after much effort... .

I'm sorry about this.

At the same time, this one also found some pretty interesting items.

Suddenly, in Jinhyuk's hand, a crude horn trumpet made of buffalo horns was in his hand.

It wasn't just that Mo Yong-su swallowed the medicine and played while the atmosphere became chaotic.

Appropriate for the drug No, maybe because we've secured an item that's much more worthy of a dead person than a potion.

Oh, that's for sure!

Mo Yong-su's face contorted in astonishment when he saw the horn.

Treasures in the tomb that can only be selected once per person.

It was pretty good up to there. It was up to the individual to choose which of the tens of thousands of treasures in this place.

But, at least... !

I'm going to pick something I should never touch.

Jinhyuk's wickedly smiling face looked too exquisite to be chosen without knowing it.

It was definitely something I knew and chose.

Yeah, how the hell do you know what it is?

Did you roughly pick the most ominous looking one?

Don't talk bullshit! What nonsense reason do you believe in!

Mo Yong-soo put a belt around his neck.

If you don't want to believe it, don't.

Jinhyuk shrugged as if he didn't care.

By the way. I have a strong desire to try hard on what I've already gained.

Mmm, stop! If you blow it...!

Mo Yong-su reached out his hand urgently, but it was already too late.

It's too late.

Jinhyuk boasted of his lung capacity and blew his horn vigorously.

Boo woo woo!

A loud roar filled the room.

[You used the 'horn of despair'!]

[The first despair is coming!]

If anyone knew what it was, he wouldn't have even come near the horn.

Because it literally evokes despair every time you call it.

It's so terrifying that every single one of them will drop everyone into hell.

right then

Koooooooh!

Something huge roared.

At the same time, the gold piled up like a mountain fell, and a black scorpion that reached 5 meters appeared.

[The tomb's guardian 'Black Scorpion' awakens!]

The strongest gatekeeper inhabiting ruins and labyrinths.

It is a medium-sized monster with extreme poison that melts all the organs in its body just by touching it.

The basic level was also close to three digits, and the steel-like outer shell was famous for being strong enough to withstand strong winds.

In a word, it means a guardian that is terribly difficult to deal with.

At the end of the day, the guardian of the grave is waking up. The worst has really happened because of you.

Hey. Was this waking up the Guardians of the Grave? It's the first time I've heard of it.

Jinhyuk trembled as if he didn't really know.

Don't talk like other people! Even without you knowing, all of your colleagues will be torn to shreds! Surely, you don't know? Guardians are outside the rules.

Thanks to Penheimer's negotiation with the manager, if players die, they will be moved to the Masked Ballroom.

If you die from a guardian, you cannot enjoy the benefits.

However.

Maybe. But, my theory is to be careful to only raise strong ones.

Not a flower in a greenhouse, but a beast that survives in the jungle.

Even with the same chick, the only ones that can remain in the Goin Corporation are chicks that can hit three to 500 or more.

Kieek!

The Black Scorpion swung its claws.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

The golden statue was split in half in one blow.

Blood, avoid!

The players of the Chinese Guild screamed in contemplation.

He struggled to live by frantically flying, but he could not escape from the Black Scorpion, which was optimized for hunting prey.

The claws grabbed a player at once.

Whoops!

A red stinger from its tail lodged in its back.

It was gully and venom was injected.

Aww!

It took less than 3 seconds for a person to turn into jelly.

If caught, you die immediately.

ね!

Mo Yongsu clicked his tongue briefly.

No matter how much he boosted his inner strength through daggers, his opponent was the guardian of the labyrinth.

It is a powerful enemy that cannot be easily thought of.

Sah, save me!

Damn. What are the tanks doing!? We have to take charge of the front so we can put in a deal. Are you going to kill them all!

Are you crazy? How are you going to stop that?

Although they were trained harshly in their own way, the players belonging to the Chinese Guild were different from the residents of Moorim.

in individual abilities. Even in the determination to go to war.

It was impossible to compare at all.

In fact, whenever the Black Scorpion rages, aren't the elites of the Chinese Guild being crushed like millet gangs?

If it had been like this for a few minutes, it would have been eaten up.

The worries didn't last long.

Don't rush and spread out your formation! I'll take care of him, so you only need to support!

If it's 1:1, you can somehow make a whistle.

If I could build up damage to the microscopic gaps in the skin in those gaps... .

There will be an opportunity to stop the gnome's movement.

'It's still worth trying.'

enough to overcome this difficulty.

But I thought the worst would end here... .

It was the biggest mistake Mo Yongsu made.

Boo woo woo!

Jinhyuk blew the trumpet again without hesitation.

Ah... sorry. It's blowing again. No. Don't look at it. Really. This time it was a 100% mistake in purity.

Jinhyuk put his hands together as if he was sorry.
