Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 260

. seven deadly sins (1)

The person who spoke to me with full tone was Beriel.

I've been wanting to be quiet for the past few days, I thought I was going to see the other apostles.

It looks like he was watching everything from the side with a sly.

It could be a headache? What do you mean?

[Humans may not be able to smell it, but a stench is coming from the tip of my nose. It smells quite dangerous.]

If it's a scent that Beriel can smell.

no way ?

Is there a source of demonic energy from the Demon Clan? In this ruin?

[It is quite far from here. That witch must be up to something. Seeing the odors mixed in, it seems that there is someone other than the witch.]

The Tomb of the Antichrist, the Holy Evil in the 7th room, is a place where only 3 Demon Kings and Demon Clans can be manifested in the tower.

Besides, if you're with them... .

Jinhyuk's eyes narrowed.

Of all the cases, the most probable ones flashed through my mind.

You can roughly guess how things are going.

And how to use it... .

Thanks for the advice.

The day will come when the live live Demon King will help.

Thanks, I got some pretty useful information.

[Fufu. don't like it too much If it's really a demon Clan with titles manifesting, your level won't be able to handle it.]

Are you trying to say that I'm going to die?

[Exactly. However, if you become my apostle, you can avoid a miserable death. Accept the contract even now, lowly human. It's not uncommon for me to recommend this so often.]

Hey. Do you think you're a Demon King with pretty good feet too? Seeing you talk so confidently like this?

The corners of Jinhyuk's lips went up.

[Of course! Who dares to argue in front of me? Speaking of the strongest of the demon world, we are talking about this body. I don't know which Demon Clan a witch is related to, but I can never summon a Demon Clan higher than me!]

Oooh!

Jinhyuk burst into exclamation.

Then, Beliel also burst into laughter as if satisfied.

I caught my eye on the golden-eyed Demon King chattering in the status window.

This guy is also handsome enough to look like the male gods in myths, but why is he doing so frivolously... .

[Fu ha ha ha! Have you realized a little bit of my greatness now? Then you can see how glorious it is to be my apostle. ruler. Come on, make a contract that connects souls... .]

no.

[What?]

I'll be grateful for the information. But, you can't just tell me about this and tell me about contracts and anything else. At this level, I'll have to tell you at least 30 more to decide whether to sign a contract or not. So, let's work hard in the future.

It's usually not hard to get a good apostle.

Especially in today's hard-hitting times.

[Come on, wait! What do you think of this body... ! No, from a Demon Clan point of view, this isn't top-notch, you bastard! The Demon King won't be like you... .]

Beliel tried to catch him urgently, but Jinhyuk had already turned off the whisper mode.

right then

Did you have a conversation with an acquaintance? You seem quite happy...

Maria, who had her ears pricked up next to her, opened her mouth.

Because of the mute function, I couldn't hear what he was saying, but I couldn't even see him smiling all the time.

Ah. I got some scout offers. I politely declined because I wasn't interested.

If it's a Scout proposal...

A twinkle flashed in Maria's eyes.

He realized that it was not a guild that could ask Jinhyeok to join him, but a huge force.

Aside from the Empire and Moorim, are there still any other powers in the middle class who haven't made an offer to Jinhyuk?

"Um a little higher than that."

more wierd.

Maria swallowed dry saliva.

The story means that even the upper classes are showing interest in Jinhyuk.

What was even more surprising was that he readily refused it.

Well... that's great.

Hell, I couldn't say that Olympus wasn't interested.

In a field where the powers of the upper ranks are also coveting, how could they be charismatic?

However, if it remains as it is, Olympus will gradually lose its position and will be forgotten in everyone's memory.

As expected of that feeling, Jinhyeok unleashed his luck.

It's not a bad option for Gandara or Dangun to join, but everyone will have a hard time finding their own bowl. Most of all, how can you fight comfortably with your back to those who might betray you?

...I guess that's right. It's a temporary alliance raid entangled with interests.

Karma, rewards, etc.

It's just a fake contract. If you put your mind to it, it'll turn into a piece of paper right now.

So, leave those people behind and join hands with me.

Yes?

"If it's me, Yeonhwa Taemin, and Maria, we can attack this place enough. Needless to say, the rewards to share will increase."

"Yeah, but why did you choose me?"

I can't say it's because of the copy conditions here.

In her mind, Maria also wanted to hit the back of the head nicely, but there was a clause in the condition that she couldn't do that.

And if you compare the experience points and items you can get here with Hellfire... .

Of course, there was only one choice.

There's no other reason. It's just that my intuition tells me that Maria can be trusted.

Jinhyuk smiled brightly.

All doubts and worries melt away like snow.

It was such a warm smile.

Within the confederation was another confederation.

Of course, Nirashana and Park Jeong-jin are a secret coalition that cannot help but be unaware of.

...so. You and Maria-san are going to go through the route where the reconnaissance team disappeared?

Nirasha asked as if she could not understand.

I think so.

Really, Maria?

Yes. I've been thinking about it, but I've decided. I'll follow Jinhyuk.

Maria nodded slightly.

The main route we found has a lot of medium-sized monsters, but that's all. The road is wide and the view is good, so there are no variables.

Park Jung-jin also frowned and added a word.

Conceptually, it wouldn't make sense.

There is a main route that can be pierced by force by taking advantage of its many advantages, and an unknown route that has been wiped out by the reconnaissance team, although it is a shortcut.

Considering stability and the possibility of success, it was decided where to choose.

If you are uneasy, go to the place of your choice together. I can assure you that it is much safer.

I guarantee you... Ha. Don't be ridiculous. I was forced to accept you because of the gaze of the viewers. I don't trust you. Above all, we can conquer this ruin on our own without any help.

In a word, it means don't go out of your way.

If that's the case, we'll have to go our separate ways.

I'll attach some of my people to you. It's my decision as the commander of the general engineering department, so I hope you don't take it too harshly. I'm just trying to help.

Nirasha snapped her fingers, and a strong man stepped forward.

Arun.

As a player belonging to the Gandara Guild, he was a ranker who received the mandala directly from Nirasha.

It's good, it's a helper. In fact, it had nothing to do with the intention of monitoring.

However, Jinhyuk still did not lose his smile.

Help. I'll be grateful. I really needed people to come along with me.

After a while, the second raid, separated from the first, arrived on the road guarded by the second apostle.

It was the very place where the reconnaissance team had completely annihilated.

The straight passageway was narrow enough to fit five people at most.

'Is this right there?'

[Arun activates his unique ability 'Jingong Mandala'!]

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

A golden haze spread along the entire passageway.

indeed .

A satisfying exclamation flowed from Arun's mouth.

Thanks to the mandala's power to see through the essence of the subject, he was able to figure out what the trap was in this passage.

path of silence.

This place speaks... Or, if the noise exceeds a certain level of decibels due to movement, a curse is placed on the subject to fall asleep.

Naturally, the effect was at the same level as the absolute judgment, so it was impossible to cancel it with unique abilities and skills.

'Once you are cursed, you will fall asleep for at least a week.'

Because of this, the reconnaissance team sent to the advance team had no choice but to annihilate them.

Probably, there are sleeping guys lying around somewhere in front of me.

'It's hard on the body, but it's good that you use your abilities.'

At least the second gate has to show you going through Gandhara.

Because this ruin could be treated the same as for moving to the next floor if certain conditions were met. It was a place that definitely needed to be cleared.

The fact that it is a place where live broadcasting can be conducted was also a factor that cannot be ignored.

We'll pass first. Don't get in the way and stay behind.

You mean you figured out a way to get through the trap?

Yeah. It's just time consuming to tell you, so let's get through it first and then dismantle the trap.

Well, okay. Just do it.

Unsurprisingly, Jinhyuk quietly retreated.

Although slightly suspicious, Arun didn't think deeply.

It was because there was no reason to question anything further, since he had grasped the triggering conditions of the trap and the opponent had yielded it.

'The dismantling of the trap will never happen, so please stand there for the rest of your life and watch.'

jerk.

Arun and the other 4 players confidently stood at the beginning of the passage.

Killing the sound wasn't too difficult for them.

sabak.

The sound of tiny footsteps hitting the ground.

The breath was swallowed inward, and the sensations of the whole body were raised to the extreme.

It's not fast, but we're making steady progress, so we'll be able to reach the end soon.

'You just have to keep calm.'

Arun's face flushed red at the fact that he had a goal in front of him.

Finally, I was able to overcome that person and receive Nirasha-sama's approval.

But that was then.

[Beep-pa-------------------------------------- All troops, please gather at the training ground by 06:30... !]

At the starting point, a deafening trumpet sounded.

Ah. The wake-up call...! I'm sorry. I forgot to put it on mute. Haha.

Jinhyuk quickly turned off the red status window.

A reminder not to oversleep is ringing here.

I'm sorry about this.

There is no such humiliation.

And I'm sure it'll get a loud military-style wake-up call.

Hey... it wouldn't be cool to tear it apart...

Arun blurted out his words.

Unable to overcome the pouring sleepiness, he could no longer maintain his thoughts.

Sorry, the Sleep Curse requires at least 5 people to fall asleep to get through. Your voluntary work, Primary God, I will never forget your noble sacrifice.

Sounds like a sacrifice...

in blurred vision.

It seemed at first glance that Jinhyuk put his hands together and apologized.

To be precise, the white teeth visible through the twisted mouth.

kuung!

And that's it.

It was the last sight Arun remembered.
