. Dreamy Paradise Lost (2)

Scratch!

With a cutting sound, the head of a grasshopper disappeared.

Jinhyuk sprinted forward with swords in both hands.

Keeek!

Kye!

He had already cut down an unknown number of bugs, but the endlessly flocking colonies had no end in sight.

That was then.

thud! thud! thud! thud!

A monster of enormous size appeared from the front with a roar that shook the earth's axis.

Hercules beetle is the largest known insect species.

kwaaang!

Jinhyuk's body bounced to the side for several meters even when the shield made of 'glacier modeling' was unfolded.

It was like a head-on collision with a 20-ton truck.

However, the attack did not end there.

Zurich!

This time I wondered if I could hear the sound of crawling on the ground... .

'under!'

Sharp legs protruded from the dirt.

'Black Sand Centipede'.

With a body length of over 10 m, it is known as the most vicious centipede.

Without a moment to catch a breath, Jinhyuk quickly spread the distance to the side.

But he was a little faster.

Hundreds of legs wrapped around Jinhyuk in an instant.

Kei...

Two bright yellow eyes stared straight at Jinhyuk.

Chi profit!

As the saliva dripped through his teeth touched the ground, a smoky smoke rose.

That must be a body fluid mixed with acid and poison.

I know it's my instinct to protect the tree...but I'll have to look at the opponent and attack.

You can't even see the corpses of your colleagues who died while poking their heads out.

Kieek!

The centipede's jaw twitched and opened.

A terrible poison engulfed the surroundings.

Melting golden roses and grass.

It seemed that there was no living creature that could survive in the black smoke.

But at that very moment.

The poison that had obscured my vision disappeared in an instant.

[The unique ability, 'Thousand Poison (千毒)' is activated!]

There was a thick mist that could not be compared with the poison emitted by the black sand centipede.

The 'Mugong' that was copied from the Elven Forest.

Thousand Poison (千毒).

The festival of a prestigious family, which made a name for itself through self-defense, was reproduced through Jinhyuk's hands.

Kee...Keek!

The black sand centipede struggled in pain.

No matter how strong the poison tolerance, it is not enough to withstand the hakjeonghong (鶴頂紅), which can turn a person into blood in just one minute.

The poison he suffered from in the first place and the poison of Moorim were very different from the root.

"I was reluctant to use it against people because it was such a terrible ability, but you guys can use it to your heart's content."

Jinhyuk captured the black mist.

The smoke soon took the shape of a skewer.

A form inspired by Elise's unique ability, Blood Lord.

If you add 'Element of Fire' to a skewer full of poison... .

There is no more efficient way to hunt bugs.

Whoops!

Poison and fire mingled in one place.

What followed was a rain of fire that could only be talked about in the apocalypse.

KwaKwaKwang!

kwaaang!

Unsightly craters began to form where they were hit directly by the skewers.

Mana consumption was extreme, but it can't be helped.

If it wasn't for such a wide area, I had to spend too much time to get into it.

Jinhyuk, who once again used 'Sword Demon King's Bo', took a big leap from the spot.

The target was a butterfly flying around to dodge the skewer.

Jinhyuk gently landed on the butterfly's back.

The butterfly is in a state of exhaustion due to the infertility, so she has not yet noticed that Jinhyuk is on his back.

'After all, the weakness must be seen at this height.'

A white jade that can only be seen in the sky.

That is the source of the support of the white tree.

Boo Woong!

Belatedly, Nabi felt a sense of alienation and struggled to shake off Jinhyuk.

It was not easy to balance, as his senses were already distorted, but Jinhyuk maintained his balance between the left and the right with an acrobatic movement.

'yet Not yet.'

He raked the mana while holding a skewer in his hand.

To get the correct angle, you need to move the butterfly a little more to the right.

Jin-hyeok, who paralyzed the butterfly's sense of sight and smell with poison, skillfully created an angle capable of throwing javelins.

And the moment when the white tree and the antennae of the butterfly form a straight line.

Pants... .

The mana and poison he had gathered turned into a spear that reached 2m.

Jinhyuk threw the spear he was holding.

A gust of wind split the air.

Five dark red circles were drawn.

Paang!

The spear that broke through the speed of sound created a sonic boom that could tear the eardrums apart.

At a moment where it could be said that they were almost simultaneous.

The window collided head-on with the white jade.

Aww!

The entire castle shook at the javelin of absurd power.

The shock wave caused the golden roses and grass to be bent sideways.

However.

Sheesh!

Despite maintaining the perfect angle and power, the white jade was not destroyed.

It was slightly cracked, but still kept its shine.

Oh oh oh oh!

A terrible scream echoed from the trees.

If it had run rampant like this, even the tree would have realized it.

That no matter how much you pour it into mass-produced bugs, there is no meaning.

And.

Also, that a human being has enough power to endanger his life.

I am the ruler of this land. I am Tangrasil.

For the first time, a deep voice emanated from the body of the white tree.

tangrasil.

It was not comparable to Yggdrasil, the world tree in Norse mythology.

It was a giant tree that could achieve another myth if time passed.

The fact that this guy started talking is also proof that the attack just worked.

You dare to hurt me because it's not enough to break into this Paradise Lost. Do you really want to die?

Tangrasil asked.

At the same time, a gentle mana bloomed from Jinhyuk's body.

I don't want to die. More than that... It's amazing... If it wasn't for a bunch of bugs, I would have sold it to Rick right away.

What, what? You're selling me?

There is one middle manager who mainly deals with strange things like you. It's probably going to give you a good price, but I'm thinking about whether or not to just burn it down because of the bugs.

Jinhyuk smiled brightly.

At that death, Tangrasil was at a loss for words for a moment.

It's a natural thing.

A life that is considered sacred to the spirits and lived a noble life.

Even Ograkun, the king of giants, did not dare to treat him badly.

But what do you mean?

Why is it that a human who can't live for at least 100 years speaks such wild words?

...I understand that you have adapted to the curse of the barrier that I have unleashed. But do you think this is the end of the curse that I can use?

Well, there must be more prepared. But, is it because the curses in front are so disappointing? I can't expect much.

That word. You will surely regret it.

[Tangrasil activates 'Second Curse'!]

[Designates one intruder and absorbs twice as much mana as that target used in battle.]

[The target is player Jinhyuk Kang.]

It doesn't matter if you use a sword, a bow, or magic.

A deceptive curse that absorbs twice the mana used by the target if the target is directly involved in battle.

That is why Tangrasil and the giants were able to defend this citadel for so many years.

How do you feel? Even the sword masters, arch mages, and masters of Moorim who were proud of the Empire fell to their knees in front of this curse. Soon you too will be like those arrogant ones!

Certainly. It must be tricky.

No matter how much you attack, if you absorb twice as much mana... In the end, it's like drinking seawater.

Because it meant that the more you attack, the more damage you will do.

It's too late to regret it now. The sin of setting foot in my realm will be replaced by using its blood and flesh as food.

Tangrasil sternly sentenced him to death.

sure.

Then I'll use your body as fuel for the campfire. The bigger ones will be enough to burn all night long.

Jinhyuk wasn't afraid to say that.

to the end !

kukukuku!

like an earthquake. The ground began to wriggle.

The trunks of trees rushed towards Jinhyeok at a tremendous speed.

' caught.'

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

The 12-star barrier has a characteristic that the divinities on the upper floors of the tower cannot see.

In other words, here, you can use your abilities to your heart's content without worrying about the eyes of the Egyptians.

because i knew that

Jinhyeok used three questions for Tangrasil.

And.

I also got an answer for that.

[The unique ability 'Judgment of Anubis' is activated!]

[All abilities of the target are reduced by 50%!]

A status window appeared one after another.

"Hey, what is this ?"

Tangrasil, who felt the strangeness, shook his whole body.

you don't understand

There would have been no opportunity to face the abilities of the higher divinities while only being the lord of the middle class.

However, the real embarrassment has only just begun.

Judgment of Anubis had another effect in addition to nerfing the target's stats.

as soon as.

[You will be able to designate a player.]

That is, to designate a counterpart.

squishy !

Even if I didn't have to say it, the target was already set.

The stems were cut off, and green body fluid was scattered everywhere.

Aaaaaaah!

Tangrasil let out a scream filled with pain.

[The undead monster 'T-bone' has been designated as the opponent.]

[The potential of 'Judgment of Anubis' rises to the limit because he uses his abilities without being watched by the Egyptian divinities!]

[Necromancer-related stats temporarily increase to Lv100.]

[Timeout: 0h:4m:59s]

The tiny Skeleton Warriors are no longer there.

There was just a knight who was 2m tall and armed with black armor all over his body.

A blue light rose from the pupil, which was as empty as an abyss.

This is an existence that is evaluated as one of the strongest of the undead series.

It's Death Knight.

The end of countless experiences and growth, a state that can only be reached in a very distant future.

T-Bone jumped over at once through the nomination of the opponent.

Awkward...reckoning! Don't you know that if you attack me, you'll consecrate mana instead?

I'm sorry, but I'm not considered to attack directly. Besides, I'm undead, so I'm not affected by curses.

It is not for nothing that T-Bone, who is neither Elise nor Wolyeong, was brought here.

Of the three, T-bone was the only one that suited this situation the most, so I chose him.

I hope... it can't be!

Tangrasil hurriedly looked at the mana in the tree.

It really is.

Of course, the cut-off wound had to heal immediately.

Whatever the case, the wound was the same.

Throb! Throb! Throb!

The same goes for terrible pain.

I don't know what kind of prank you were playing, but... do you believe in a toy like that? A Death Knight that is at best a Swordmaster-class?

Not all Death Knights are the same.

At least for this moment.

Even the Grand Sword Master of the Empire, Abraham, or the 10th master of the Moorim, cannot be the opponent of the T-Bone.

Because the powers of the Egyptian higher divinity have fully blossomed.

master.

T-Bone stood in front of Jinhyuk with his sword and shield.

Order.
