Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 348

Hidden Place on the 19th floor (2)

the crown of doom.

A relic that only the most violent and militant can possess. This crown has always caused great turmoil in the tower.

Because more than half of the major incidents inside the tower were related to the change of the owner of this crown.

so that.

Jinhyuk was moving to get the crown faster than anyone else.

This is because if the forces at the upper floors knew this information, they would flock to the 19th floor like a swarm of bees.

and currently.

In the sand dunes of the desert located on the 19th floor... .

Two shadows face each other.

" "

Skinny height up to 2 m.

The tail of the mouth raised pleasantly.

At first glance, it looks like a famous movie star.

However, it is only a means to eliminate the sense of incongruity when roaming the human world.

The image of the body kept in the shell was far from pleasant, but it was far from it.

Nyarlathotep.

A messenger and messenger serving Azatos. Except for the manager, it is the only divinity of 50 floors that can float freely on the floor of the tower.

Before that... .

There was an old gentleman wearing a fedora hat and one-eyed glasses.

The white beard suits him so well.

That's right, the owner of the top and the middle manager of the tower.

It was Rick Hennessy.

"It was a mistake to come down here shortly after work. I'd rather send an agent or use another manager."

Rick didn't hide his displeasure.

"Kick. Gosh, I must have offended the great Rick Hennessy."

Then Nyarlathotep let out a loud shrieking sound.

I shrugged and buried myself on the soft sofa in the middle of the room.

Don't forget to pour a full glass of nice wine.

"Would you like a sip? No, didn't you drink that strange coffee?"

"If it's alcohol, I'll decline. Answer that. Nyarlathotep Why did you leave the Crown of Doom without immediately recovering it?"

"Ah that?"

Nyarlathotep, who was asked a sharp question, touched the wine in the glass with his fingers.

keep going!

At that moment, all the wine in the glass was sucked through my fingers.

"I wanted to retrieve it quickly, too, but my mother told me to leave it as entertainment."

"You mean you wanted to show some respect for Heavenly Demon?"

"Maybe, it was simply interesting. In the first place, in front of my mother, the residents living downstairs couldn't even think of it as an opponent."

"That's also true."

Rick nodded as if he understood.

"Is that person better than that? Was it Kang Jin-hyuk? I know that you are the person you cherish, but you are hindering our plans more than you think.

"I've built up a close enough friendship with Kang Jin-hyuk. His target must be limited to Hasting. We've already spread information about him through Gabriel."

"Hey. Did you even include the Eden side?"

"No. She doesn't know the story. She just believes that Hasting is behind all of this."

Rick waved his hand lightly into the air.

huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

A space that had never been seen before, beyond imagination, opened, and countless items were revealed.

"It smells good."

Rick took a deep taste of the coffee.

"Hwiyu! Looking back, your subspace abilities are amazing. I must say that your mother's statement that you own the tower itself was not exaggerated at all."

Nyarlathotep, who was whistling, added a word.

"By the way, Hasting will pass out when he finds out about this. You firmly believe that you are the only one who has been chosen by us? You should have seen that crouching, too."

"He has to believe he's in control. I like being one step back."

"That's right. That's right. It's also more manageable."

"This is enough for a chattering conversation. Be sure to retrieve the crown this time, Nyarlathotep. If things go wrong any longer, you too will pay the price."

"Don't worry. Because we've already recruited talented people. You're the one who doesn't let the Necronomicon fall into that human hand. no."

"Okay. I'll take that part separately."

"Okay. I'm only counting on you, Mr. Eternal Companion."

Nyarlathotep also filled the wine glass with a happy face.

Whew!

A sandy wind blew with a gust of wind.

A storm mixed with small grains of sand is a threat on its own.

In fact, most of the monsters that inhabit here also burrowed into their nests during storms, so they couldn't even see their noses.

"It's really, really great."

Cheon Yuseong looked out and muttered.

Temporary base arrived under the guidance of Yuasis.

The caves filled with stalactites made a great refuge from the storm.

"On the 19th floor, I'm really glad that we can keep the food we brought from outside in our subspace inventory. We won't be out until the storm stops anyway. In the meantime, I'll serve you some nice French cuisine."

Teresa rolled up her arms as if to show off her skills.

Marbling beef, Mediterranean sea urchin and lobster. And even fine red wine.

At a glance, unusual materials appeared one after another.

When the spicy tomato sauce, Arrabiata sauce, was served on the scallops and shrimp meat, the mouth-watering aroma pierced the tip of my nose.

what is this

Did you come to raid? I can't even tell if I'm here to film a mukbang.

Even Alice, who had been completely frozen, could feel her screaming in the ring.

I don't know if I can get rid of the protruding thing if I do well.

While the cooking is going on in such a hurry.

Jinhyuk approached Yuasis.

"Mr. Euasis."

"Yes?"

"Wait, I have a question for you, do you have time?"

"Oh, yes, of course. What is it?"

Yuasis, who was in a bread position with her legs rolled up, smiled brightly.

"Nothing else, but I have a question about where we are going this time."

"It's the sand dunes of the sun."

Hidden place 'Sun Dunes' on the 19th floor.

It is a place where the sun does not set 365 days a year.

As if to prove the saying that it is the place where all the light gathers. As we went inside, the temperature rose tremendously.

'Because there is a saying that the deepest part is comparable to the sun.'

I've been to this place in the past, but I've never been able to get to the deepest point.

At that time, there was no goal of being a crown. Because there was something much more interesting than attacking the dunes of the sun.

"You need a map with the rooms in the sand dunes written on it."

"...if it's a map...?"

"I know it has been passed down from generation to generation through the Dryad race, as a tool for the guardians of the forest to carry out their duties."

Due to the characteristic of sand dunes, objects with strong mana tend to suck inward.

If there was a crown, it would be in the deepest part of the current sand dunes.

In order to find the crown within a limited time, you must have a map with the inside of it written on it.

"Really there is nothing that Jinhyuk Kang doesn't know. How do you know all the secrets of our clan?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. What's more important is not the source of the information, but what the information can solve... that's the key."

At Jinhyuk's words, Yuasis paused for a moment.

If it was a normal case, even if there was a limit to drawing a weapon, I had to figure out the source of the secret.

Could there be a spy inside? Either that or I had to figure out if there was a hole somewhere.

But. Those aren't top priorities.

At least now, as Jinhyuk said. You must use the information given to you to complete the mission.

"okay."

Yuasis pulled out a flower that had been stuck in her hair.

huuuuuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The petals faded, and they grew bigger and bigger... .

Soon, a huge map made of petals appeared.

All rooms and locations in the dunes of the sun are listed.

'great.'

Jinhyuk clenched his fists as if satisfied.

It will make finding the crown much easier.

But right then.

" uh?"

Yuasis suddenly raised her head.

"what's going on?"

"That, that..."

A face that suddenly collapses.

There was a deep embarrassment in the shaking pupil.

I had no choice but to do so.

The dryads she placed outside the waterfall were dying even as we were talking now.

"The sisters all what kind of bastards do something so cruel ."

Yuasis muttered blankly.

It was unfortunate that all of his colleagues died, but there is something more serious than that.

Jinhyuk's mind was spinning rapidly.

'It's not just players or residents who came to visit the ruins.'

If that was the case, I would have either faced the Dryads and tried to talk, or I would have given up on raiding.

It is undoubtedly true that the ruins are attractive. That's the story when the output comes out compared to the effort.

There's no reason to go inside until you've slaughtered the clan of the forest.

That is.

Unless you have something to gain even if you risk it all.

'Hasting... Did you know about the crown?'

Other than that it didn't make sense.

have to hurry

You have to move right now... do.

The meal was delayed, and instead, Jinhyuk told everyone about what had just happened.

"I understand what's going on. So, let's get through that storm? Are you sane?"

"Mr. Jinhyuk..."

Cheon Yoo-sung and Teresa expressed their displeasure.

"...the chance of surviving will be less than 3%."

Frey also calmly told the truth.

Aside from the fact that the view was completely blocked, it was clear that my body would be in tatters in less than 30 minutes if I was digging through that blade of sand.

Because there was a limit to protecting the body with mana.

"It's fine. Actually, there's a way I can get around there too."

"Is there a way? Is that real?"

"Yeah. There are some restrictions... Now that it's like this, I'll have to give it a try."

Jinhyuk collected the water droplets on the tip of the stalactite.

Pants!

When the runic mana was injected, the water droplets began to take on a turquoise color.

"What kind of restrictions did you have that you didn't tell me until now?"

"You have to have a really deep hole like mana, but it works. It's me it's fine, but I'm a little worried that the rest won't work."

"That's I can't just pass it up and listen."

Cheon Yoosung raised his eyes.

"It sounds like I'm worse than you... Is that really what you mean?"

"No, I'm not ignoring you or anything like that, is it because you're really worried that you're the only one?"

"Sheesh! That's ignoring me!"

Cheon Yu-seong snatched away the water droplets.

And immediately activated the 'self-defense force'.

A soft light emanated, and Cheon Yu-seong's body was completely covered with river energy.

When the water drop effect was added, an armor that looked quite plausible was created.

"Look carefully. I'll break through that storm before you. Just follow along so you don't fall behind."

Cheonyuseong walked proudly through the sandstorm.

"Isn't Jinhyuk going?"

"Wait a minute, let's wait a minute. Let's watch for a little bit."

Theresa asked, but Jinhyuk didn't seem to want to move.

Instead, he observed Cheon Yu-sung with a careful face.

after a while.

"Aaaaah! Damn it. Does this really work? Lord, I think I'm going to die...!"

The shriek of a heavenly star resounded from beyond the storm.

Hmm.

I guess it was too much.

If Cheon Yu-seong was in pain, I thought I would need a stalactite much older than this.

"Thinking about it, it seems that there is a path that allows you to move inside the cave. It's so old that it's fuzzy, but it's probably safer that way."

Jinhyuk quickly changed his course.
