CH 170

. Ancient Species (1)

A completely sealed escape route.

It's over...

Damn it.

It's all wrong. Now it's all wrong!

A sad cry escaped from the mouths of those who were watching.

He diddged the attack with his possessive movements, but that was the end of it.

If you aim at both the front and the back at the same time, no matter how raw meat you are, even a ranker will not survive.

as if to prove it.

A black sphere and a man-eating plant aimed at Jinhyeok at the same time.

The thorns beyond recognition rushed towards Jinhyuk's heart.

Dozens of vines also fell to crush Jinhyuk's whole body.

right then

The Hidden card that Jinhyuk had prepared while running away was activated.

[Lv9 'Element of Fire' is activated!]

[The unique ability 'Star Blessing' is activated!]

When the energy of the stars permeated the flames left on the street lamp, a huge flame broke out.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

Aww!

As if dozens of tons of gunpowder exploded, the surrounding area turned into a sea of fire in an instant.

A cloud of smoke obscured my vision was an inevitable result.

In addition, the 'vibration detection' could be confused due to the star's Blessing, so as a surprise, the conditions were perfectly met.

'now !'

Aiming for that gap, Jinhyuk moved.

'The reason despair doesn't attack each other is because they recognize unique biosignals.'

This is the reason why they do not harm each other even though they possess overwhelming power.

However.

'In other words, if you only find out where the biosignals are sent, you can use their system against them.'

Jinhyuk flew towards the plant accurately even in the smoke.

Thanks to the 'Blessing of the Stars' that interfered with the vibration detection, I was able to dig inside without any hindrance.

Kie eh?

A soft inner skin could be seen among the swaying vines.

At first glance, it is a green inner skin that looks the same.

However, the corners of Jinhyuk's lips were raised.

'After all, I hid it in the 7th peak again this time.'

The point is not to simply look at everything, but to find a place where the flow of mana is subtly different.

And due to the habit of the second despair, its position was always the innermost.

Perhaps you instinctively want to hide a fatal weakness. what would this mean

Jinhyuk quickly tore off a part of the epidermis.

OK.

Keeek!

Suddenly the plant started to glow.

Because the part that controls the biosignals was destroyed, he suddenly fell into a panic.

Dozens of vines randomly destroyed anything in front of them.

Aww!

The building that was hit directly was halved with one blow.

Looking at it again, it is powerful enough to say that it is ignorant.

But, what I was really looking for .

A sphere that responds to its indiscriminate attacks.

The moment when a vine swung at random hits the surface of the sphere.

dreaming

The surface of the sphere is distorted.

[The third despair 'Abyss Sphere' uses the unique ability 'Thorn of Erosion'!]

An indescribable mana arose from the sphere.

Pooh-!

A clear penetrating sound struck the eardrum first.

Soon after, green fluid gushed out of the plant's body, which had air holes all over its body.

In an instant, dozens of thorns protruding from the sphere mutilated the whole body of the plant.

Key... this... this...

The fact that it is large has been transformed into a disadvantage for this moment.

The bigger the target, the easier it was to hit.

kuung!

A huge plant collapsed on the spot.

[The second despair has been extinguished.]

'Two with this... .'

Jinhyuk nodded his head slightly as if satisfied.

It's called Lee Jae-yi (以夷制夷).

It is best to subdue despair with the same despair.

Of course, handling the sphere from the plant side was the most ideal picture, but considering the level difference between the two, that is greed.

'By the way, the level doesn't go up.'

Indirect intervention was often recognized as experience, but it was an exception for desperate monsters.

Unless you are directly involved, you can't get experience or items.

'It's definitely a pity that I can't eat it all.'

However, if only the last sphere can be dealt with, you will be able to get the best of the rewards you have received so far.

[If you deal with all three plagues, you can obtain the highest-ranked reward related to the target's unique ability.]

Because the category of the adjective 'related' was so vague, it was difficult to guess exactly what kind of reward it was.

What is certain is that the reward is commensurate with the near-impossible task.

In the past, I was given an overrank grade fusion material, but this time I was already looking forward to what it would give.

But that was then.

Ugh!?

Jinhyuk reflexively swung his fangs.

kwaaang!

The black thorns collided head-on with the blade.

He barely succeeded in opening the orbit, but he frowned at the heavy feeling that reached to the ends of his bones.

damn it

Does that guy know exactly where this place is even in this kind of smoke?

To see it as a coincidence, it was perfectly aimed at the vital point.

I knew it had the ability to sense a line above the vibrations... .

I can't believe it can't be deceived even with the Blessing of the stars.

How the hell do you mean to have a sense organ? That guy.

Jinhyuk quickly regained his stance.

comes again

It was also aiming at this direction so accurately that it gave me goosebumps.

kwaang!

kwaaang!

Red flames rose from the smoke with a roar.

A window of speed beyond cognition.

A dagger that responds only with experience and reflexes.

There was a battle that was difficult to even follow with the naked eye.

Each one was a bloody desperate effort, but the victory was seldom achieved.

OK.

The attack stopped like a lie.

At the same time, a hard voice emanated from the sphere.

[ ] You're an annoying human being.]

Now, beyond the smoke that had completely cleared, the surface of the sphere could be seen distorted.

Finally, that wood-and-stone slaughter weapon is opening its mouth.

but. At this point, I'm just going to get annoyed.

It was impossible for a normal player to even catch his first attack.

It seems that I'm not the type of person who gets pretty wherever I go.

Usually, I get sick and fall ill.

I used to give up talking because I couldn't win.

[Do you want this side to get excited while provoking with words? Not a bad way. The one who takes the initiative will be able to design the situation to their advantage.]

A mechanical voice followed.

Anyway... .

A blunt guy like this isn't fun to provoke.

If there is even a stinging taste, I have to poke it a few more times.

So. I kept my mouth shut, and if I continued like this, I would only run parallel lines. I'll give up on your side and go back to my humble grave... Does this mean?

[No way. There seems to be no end and no limit when dealing with annoying flying flies like you, so from now on, I'm talking about dealing with them properly.]

That was then. The shape of the sphere began to change.

Ripples on the smooth surface.

It was gnarled and the shape was refined.

After a while, when the rippling waves stopped. A round sphere had changed into a human form.

[The third despair 'Nameless' manifests.]

A black body whose whole body is dyed with a single color.

He didn't have eyes, nose and mouth, but his shape was unmistakably that of a person.

Hmm. It's been a while since I've done this.

Let Nameless warm up and reach out.

Whoops!

Black thorns about 1.5 m long protruded from the palm of the hand.

Where... Shall we start lightly with a single spear?

Nameless took a stance as if he was throwing a javelin.

In an instant, the air froze.

...!

The reason he took the human form while giving up the merits of firing was not to warm up his body as he said.

it is gathering power.

Because I knew that a small attack was useless. A bigger room... .

To be precise, to prepare for an overwhelming shot that could not deflect the orbit.

When he thought about it that far, Jinhyuk's body reacted first.

Whoops!

The fangs were nailed to the ground.

[['Mandala']

Partial modification.]

Pants... !

A golden-colored barrier appeared.

[[Section 1]

'Disruption of thought' is activated!]

When a three-layer barrier was added through 'Imprint of the Moon', white runes appeared on the barrier.

A solid-looking shield stood in the way between Jinhyuk and Nameless.

Hey. You didn't use mana on purpose, but you sensed a crisis. This is just a good sense of humor.

Nameless exclaimed as if he had truly admired it.

And it's okay to do it almost at the same time.

Black thorns twisted like a pretzel were thrown.

Paaang!

The sonic boom was created by breaking the speed of sound.

What followed was a blow that could be called the strongest spear.

Jinhyuk did his best to raise mana.

The light on the runes grew even deeper.

That moment.

Aww!

The thorns collided with the mandala-embodied shield.

Big!

Jinhyuk bit his molars.

I almost lost my mind at the shock beyond my imagination, but somehow I did not let go of the string of consciousness.

kukukuku!

A shield that almost broke in half.

The first barrier was broken when it collided, and the second barrier was also penetrated.

However, the thorn with rotational power still did not lose its power.

The barriers were peeled off layer by layer, and the thorns reached Jinhyuk's face.

Now 10 cm.

Exactly that much distance was left before the thorn smashed the skull.

'Like this... .'

Dangerous.

However, it was already too late to avoid.

The thorn that completely broke the barrier hit Jinhyuk's face.

Whoops!

Jinhyuk's head tilted back.

Big... billions...

with the sound of the wind falling.

The body slowly moved backwards.

"Mr. Jinhyuk ?"

Teresa stuttered.

My lips trembled at the sight of such an absurd sight.

No, are you kidding me? Come on, wake up... Come on. Come on!

I checked to see if I had seen anything wrong, but the thorn had pierced Jinhyuk's head accurately.

With that wound, no one would survive.

Don't worry too much. I'll send you guys to his side soon too.

Nameless pulled out another thorn.

"You're going to kill us too ?"

Yes. You too have disturbed the rest of the grave. I will kill you and all humans everywhere you belong.

Only for that reason Are you saying you're doing this with something that just disturbed your sleep?

Don't judge the seriousness of a sin by your frugal standards. From our point of view, it is a mortal sin that cannot be washed away with blood.

Hahaha .

sadness and emptiness.

And beyond all that, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time trembled.

As if filled with emotions, Teresa's heart fluttered violently.

At the same time.

Juruk.

A tear ran down Teresa's eyes. Strangely, the tears were faintly black.

A gentle wave arose on the surface of the Nameless.

...Is the divine power changing? It's a fun ability.

A rare phenomenon that can be called an anomaly.

However.

If you get rid of that power before it fully blooms, that's it.

Nameless still held the spear in an unchanging voice.

Just kill Teresa and wipe out the marked Chinese Guild and other humans.

By the way.

The surprise wasn't the only one.

Creepy!

Nameless's body stopped in place.

His gaze was directed to the spot where Jinhyuk had fallen.

There's something there.

Something that makes even him tremble in fear, who maintains the order and balance of the middle class.

right then

[Subspace inventory is forcibly opened.]

Something sensed the owner's death and reacted.

kukuku kuk kuk!

The subspace inventory, which was about 20m wide, was unrealistic.

This .

For the first time, a change appeared in Nameless's voice.

I had no choice but to do so.

now. What's coming out of there... .

Because he was an existence that could not be restrained by the tower's floor

kuung!

Footsteps that feel the weight of Mount Taesan.

If there is an end of mana, this is what I am talking about.

Koooooooh!

A sharp roar cracked the clouds and stirred the atmosphere.

It was a real despair and disaster.
