118. Chapter 118
“Do you know about this ordeal?”
“yes? No, what’s the point now… … .”
“Don’t you know?”
“… … It is. Even the trial manual on the 7th floor didn’t mention this place.”
“By the way, judging from the reaction, it seems that the manager on the 7th floor reacted quite urgently?”
“If it weren’t for the restrictions of the system, the manager on the 7th floor would have come down right away.”
“Doesn’t something seem odd?”
“yes?”
Seun smiled long.
I have already found out that this is the source of amethyst, the material used to make the cup of Dionysus.
And, there was one major problem here. The fact that the Constellation should not be directly involved in the Tower.
As in the trial on the 5th floor, you can ask for something as a condition for renting the place, but now it was different.
Originally, the trials of the 7th floor take place in the desert. It means that it has nothing to do with the Crystal Cave.
Then, with what qualifications did Dionysus borrow a spot on the 7th floor to excavate amethyst?
Simple. The Constellation made a separate contract with the Administrator.
Realizing Seun’s meaning, Tuning’s eyes became serious.
“… … okay. It’s definitely weird. It’s strange that a place like this exists in the first place, and it’s not even written in the manual.”
“There is something I found out through my Constellations. The amethysts here are said to be the material used to make the cup of Dionysus.”
“Is that true?”
“I am sure.”
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ nods if he wants to authenticate himself.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ holds out his purple cup, saying that it is not the same as the one he bought a while ago.
If the manager from the 7th floor had come down directly, he would not have been able to say this. If I made a mistake, I would have tried to cover Seun’s mouth even if he violated the law of cause and effect.
However, tuning is different.
I don’t know the details of the special task force, but he’s probably an independent team to keep an eye on Seun.
If so, it is possible to report corruption in the Tower without being bound by the hierarchy.
“Isn’t the fact that the constellation is using a floor separate from trials for self-interest, deceiving the Tower?”
“… … That’s right. It’s against the rules, and if a manager is involved, it won’t be normal.”
Tuning’s eyes deepened.
Sewoon said it simply, but it was a more serious matter than he thought.
No matter how hard the kwanliso tried to maintain friendly relations with the constellations, managing the tower was always the kwanliso’s job.
If that rule was violated, even if the opponent was a major-level Constellation, it would not be an easy task.
“Are you still going to block my way?”
“… … .”
“If the 7th floor manager’s seat is vacant, someone might be able to fill it.”
Tuning’s eyes sparkled.
I can’t be sure yet, but if everything Sewoon said is true, it’s clear that the manager of the 7th floor will be disciplined.
If so, he may take his place.
In response, he nodded his head after a long and long thought.
“As a special officer, I will allow it. Player Jeong Sewoon’s actions are completely natural as a player, so I have no authority to stop them.”
“thank you.”
“I’ll go right up.”
“Can I do this on my own?”
“sure. Isn’t that the player’s prerogative?”
Ugh!
The system message that floated behind him opened up again and formed the shape of a door.
Tuning hurriedly turned his back and went inside.
Could this simply be a punishment for the manager?
no. It is certain that Dionysus, who is the culprit of the incident, will be hit somehow.
and… … .
‘I can’t end it with this.’
Seun moved his feet into the cave to remove Dionysus’ pockets.
* * *
“wow… … .”
Stepping on the fragments of amethyst scattered in the aisle, he found hundreds of amethysts growing inside.
It was not even comparable to the regular crystals seen outside.
The shimmering purple color was even more beautiful, and the mana contained in it was surprisingly pure.
Yoo Seo-ah naturally opened her mouth in admiration at that beautiful figure.
– The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ has twinkling eyes.
All the secrets of the ordeal have been revealed.
So, what should we do now?
If possible, I wanted to take all the amethysts in front of me.
If that doesn’t work, even if I leave the amethyst to Mamon, I won’t let it go into the bosom of Dionysus.
Meanwhile… … .
dripping-
A raspy sound came from the center of the cavity.
“Sewoon, that’s… … .”
“You seem to be quite cautious.”
The huge amethyst standing in the center split into pieces and formed something.
Apparently, he is the watchman here.
Illusion barriers for the monsters in the cave, giant crystal walls blocking the cavity, and even guards. It seems that he has been working hard to protect this place.
If it wasn’t for Sewoon, it would have been impossible to reach this point.
“Chuchit.”
“Cheese-”
While the watchman was looking for his form, the creatures he saw in the aisle appeared around him.
walls, ceilings, floors. The number of guys who appeared from all sides quickly exceeded dozens.
The situation that Sewoon was worried about at first unfolded.
however… … .
‘It means that if we deal with these guys, it will be over.’
By now, Tuning should already be accusing the administrator of the 7th floor.
By that time, the news would have reached Dionysus as well.
As if to prove it, a message from a constellation I had never seen before appeared in front of me.
-The constellation ‘Festival of Frenzy’ is shocked to realize the existence of an intruder.
-The constellation ‘Festival of Frenzy’ threatens you to leave immediately.
Feast of madness. It was the nickname of Dionysus, the god of wine.
He was so flustered that he constantly sent messages to Seun.
“Seo Yoo, are you ready?”
“yes!”
-The constellation smiles, saying that the ‘head bowed crow’ is a reaction that I like.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ stomped his feet, saying that if he put that candy in his mouth, he would feel like he had the whole world.
Sewoon easily ignored the words and took out Durandal.
In the meantime, the watchman has created a perfect shape.
Unlike other creatures, the whole body was made of crystal, and the body as well as the tail was delicately trimmed like a statue.
In addition to the tail, two huge pincers in front of the head revealed a sharp figure.
“Message… … That’s it.”
“Be careful, because the level will be different from the creatures you’ve dealt with so far.”
“yes.”
I knew it instinctively. It’s such a powerful enemy that it just doesn’t make sense to exist on the 7th floor.
“You take care of the creatures. I’ll deal with that guy.”
“I’ll quickly organize and join you!”
“good.”
Indeed, Yuseo.
The moment he heard the instructions, he pulled out his twin swords and ran towards the creatures without hesitation.
Sewoon also grabbed Durandal and ran towards the scorpion.
It is a strong enemy that reminds me of Stone Lava, but all monsters have weaknesses. First, finding it was the priority.
-The constellation ‘Festival of Frenzy’ orders the watchman to kill that intruder immediately.
“Chi-tsu-tsut!”
The moment Dionysus’ command was heard, the scorpion also let out a grotesque roar at Seun.
The eight legs made of crystal move moderately.
Cagan!
Sewoon narrowly countered the claws approaching in front of him and lowered his upper body.
Monsters made of ore like golems normally move slowly, but this guy was moving as fast as Sewoon.
‘joint.’
-Through internal air, the third herbivore of the blood sword method, blood attack (血狼襲擊) is strengthened.
However, in terms of skill level, Sewoon was one step above.
Sewoon lowered his stance, bouncing his body like a spring, slashing his joints.
The shape of a red wolf violently bit into a relatively fragile-looking joint.
The moment you think that the guy was able to feed the first stroke properly thanks to his carelessness.
“Chitsutsut!”
Caang!
As soon as the scorpion wriggled its body once, the shape of the wolf biting the joint was torn to shreds.
There was not a single small scratch on the bitten joint.
Truly great strength.
I thought I could start with at least one effective hit.
While Seun’s movements stopped, his tail shot from a blind spot.
– Nichugong’s movement becomes faster through Naegong.
I didn’t even see the attack with my own eyes.
As soon as he sensed the faint sound of his tail moving with his heightened hearing, Sewoon’s waist bent like a bow.
I managed to get out of the range of the tail, but there was a long scar on the armor that had rubbed against the tail.
Class B armor made by Go Chang-seok.
Even though it has abilities specialized in attack, it is an armor that boasts tremendous defensive power as it is made of drake material.
That kind of armor, just by brushing his tail, there were marks like that.
If you are properly attacked, you won’t be able to last long no matter how high your grade is.
Two or three times at most.
Receiving an attack seemed to be the limit.
Kwajik!
The tail, which failed to hit the target, cut through the wind and stuck to the ground.
The sharp tail of the crystal waved once, and the floor was dyed purple and frozen cold.
No, it wasn’t ice.
correction.
The base embedded in its tail was turning into crystal.
As a watchman in the crystal cave, he had a powerful crystal poison that turned enemies into crystals.
Seeing that, Sewoon’s mind changed.
If it was an attack like that, even Ko Chang-seok’s armor would never be able to block it.
Rather than relying on defense, the attack of the tail must be avoided unconditionally.
– The constellation ‘Festival of Frenzy’ urgently calls out to the watchmen not to procrastinate and to quickly destroy the intruders!
Awesome!
Before he could pull out his tail, he turned around and exposed his claws to Sewoon.
The extremely sharp crystal blades that made up the pincers cut through the air.
Sewoon broke his back with amazing flexibility and avoided it, then distanced himself from him and focused on his vision.
‘We have to find the weak point first.’
It is most likely that the nucleus is located in the body like other creatures.
However, even blindly swinging the Bagua was useless if the exact location of the nucleus was not known.
If possible, there should have been a gap between the tails like the creatures.
“Chi-Chi-Chi, C-C-Schi!”
His body was surprisingly sturdy.
The outer shell of the tail was covered with two layers of outer shell, thoroughly covering the gap.
In terms of defense alone, it was thought to be better than Stone Lava.
Seun, who decided that it would take time, used the Power of Jealousy… … .
-The eyes of envy begin to stare at the ‘Crystal Guardian’.
– The manifestation of authority is canceled due to the intervention of the constellation ‘Festival of Frenzy’.
With Dionysus involved, that wasn’t easy either.
‘Should I use that method?’
The consumption of mana was so great that I tried not to use it unless it was unavoidable, but now was not the time to be arguing about such things.
Sewoon’s raised hand focused his magical energy.
Hwareuk!
Hard!
Blazing flames and cold ice were simultaneously manifested in front of both hands.
