Episode 356 New Weapon (1)
The crown of Paedo, which has a new owner.
And the power war between Olympus, the giant power in the upper class.
These two issues caused an uproar throughout the tower.
Even so, the tense tension that felt like the eve of the storm completely exploded.
“…How is the situation going?”
A beautiful looking angel opened her mouth.
Gabriel.
She was in charge of this investigation on behalf of ‘Eden’.
Answers to Gabriel’s question poured in from all over.
“Currently, Olympus has invaded the 41st floor in earnest. Previously, local wars were fought in areas under the influence of both powers, but now a large-scale all-out war is taking place simultaneously.”
With ‘Olympos’ in Greece. Northern Europe’s ‘Ragnarok’.
Starting yesterday, the two forces entered into a battle where each other’s fate was at stake.
“The gods of Ragnarok are also responding to this, but the power gap is too big to begin with.”
“We’ve already lost five important bases. Even the road to Jotunheim has been blocked. If things continue like this, I guess…”
One of the top ruins on the 41st floor of Jotunheim.
The fact that the heart of it all came within range. This meant that the power difference was one-sided.
There is no doubt that Olympus made thorough preparations and gritted their teeth.
“The balance may be lost.”
Gabriel looked at the status window with a serious face.
Even at this very moment, fire and ice storms raged and countless lives were dying out.
Right then.
“Archangel, are we not participating in the war?”
A muscular angel with large wings opened his mouth.
Kizakiel.
As a combat angel, he has mainly been responsible for crushing enemies on the front lines.
It’s natural to be aggressive. Rather, because of its cruel nature, it was an object of fear regardless of its enemies.
bloody judgment.
If there was a modifier to refer to Kizakiel, it would be this one.
“Do you think the commander of a combat corps should participate in a war between two powers?”
“Isn’t protecting the balance of the tower God’s law and our mission at the same time? Of course, I think we should strike down those who disturb the upper echelons.”
A huge energy surged from Kizakiel’s body.
A tangible flame engulfed the entire body.
It is such an overwhelming magical power that other angels hesitate and step back.
“If you give me the order, I will completely destroy the two unholy forces and then pull out the crown and the head of the man named Kang Jin-hyeok.”
Although defeating the two powers was a problem, securing the crown of power was also important.
This is because Eden also wanted to collect all the crowns and challenge the 50th floor once again.
but.
“I made some sort of contract with him. At least until the item is secured, avoid any conflict with him for any reason.”
Necronomicon, the exploration log of the 50th floor.
This book is more important than the crown right now.
In Eden, if you wanted to, you could somehow secure the crown… … .
No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to secure that book.
“……I guess there’s something I don’t know. I understand. If that’s what the Archangel means….”
Kizakiel pursed his lips tightly as if he did not like something.
However, I could not express my dissatisfaction openly.
Even if he is the leader of a combat corps leading tens of thousands of angels. This is because he could not openly disobey Gabriel’s orders.
“and.”
Before leaving, Gabriel added a word.
“Don’t forget to get a guide.”
“Are you talking about that human named Pesis?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
There are several guides in the tower.
Among them, the person who stood out the most was a person named Pesis.
‘We must bring them to our side.’
Since I like to travel alone, it was difficult to make contact.
We have to create an opportunity somehow.
At least find someone who has contact with him.
＊＊＊
Same time.
Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!
Jinhyeok, who sent the group out of the tower first, was digging hard through the sand.
There are two ways to conquer the 19th floor.
The basic goal is to deal with boss monsters or find hidden places and secure the relics located deep inside them.
And the one Jinhyeok chose was the latter.
“Hmm.”
Jinhyuk scratched his chin.
Even with a map obtained from Uasis, it is usually not difficult to find the exact location of the room where the weapon is stored due to the constantly moving nature of quicksand.

Only rough estimates based on memory are possible.
The rest depended on animal intuition and grueling physical exertion.
‘Thanks to you, I’ve been working hard with my shovel in the sand for over 12 hours.’
More precisely… … .
“Heo-eok, heo-eok, heo-eok.”
“I feel like I’m going to die, master.”
“If you kill me, I won’t attack my master even if I become a ghost.”
“Everyone be quiet. My head hurts.”
I was in charge of supervising those who worked hard on behalf of me.
A spectacle reminiscent of a large-scale civil engineering construction site unfolded.
The spirit beasts were sweating profusely and moving about tirelessly to find the hidden room.
“Sleep. Don’t complain too much and just cheer up a little longer. We’re almost there now. Can you really feel it?”
“It’s already been 12 hours since you said you felt him, master.”
Undine screamed.
Looking at his two small arms shaking, he must have been having quite a hard time.
but.
“so?”
“huh?”
“Our Undines feel that the favor I’m asking you right now is too precious and dirty, so we can’t do it. Is this what you mean?”
“Well, that’s not it… There is also something called the Spirit Fist, which means that we also want to take a break for about 10 minutes after working for an hour.”
“Hoo. Do you want to rest?”
“I think… even if it’s not a lot, I think you need at least some rest. Right, everyone? Huh?”
Undine gathered her courage and asked for help from the remaining spirits.
It seems like the spirit beasts are adding a little courage. I nodded eagerly.
“Okay. If you say it’s that hard, you should rest.”
“really!?”
“Yes, then. Get some rest.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly and summoned ‘Hellfire’.
“Forever.”
Undine’s water began to become lukewarm due to the blazing fire.
“Hey! I’ll work. I’ll work hard.”
“Everyone work like dogs. Quick!”
“Let’s work. Work.”
Once again, the scene was about to get busy.
Right then.
“Wait. Just wait.”
Jinhyuk took out the kettle and poured some blue liquid.
Tea brewed with one lowest grade magic stone.
It is a cheap energy-boosting drink chilled with a few ice cubes.
“Before we start, everyone have a drink of this. It will help you feel a little tired.”
“Lord, master….”
“thank you…….”
“I never thought they would prepare something like this for us.”
Everyone’s eyes were filled with emotion.
This is why employees should not be hungry.
Usually, they relentlessly exploit and instill fear. When it reaches its limit, it’s best to give it a dried carrot.
‘It’s not for nothing that bad men are deadly.’
Jinhyeok, who had appeased the spirit beasts’ complaints, began to think about where the room could be again.
＊＊＊
Quicksand moving at 10 km/h.
Humidity is 17.5%
Because of the battle with the Hound a while ago, the angle of the passage was shifted by about 1.5 degrees, so this must also be reflected in the calculations.
There were dozens of variables, but we had experience excavating artifacts even under worse conditions.
“The second tunnel from the left. Yes, proceed from there next time.”
“Here? The gnomes said there was nothing here?”
Even the earth spirit tilted his head.
I couldn’t feel the waves coming through the ley lines.
Nevertheless, Jinhyuk proceeded with the construction based on intuition and experience.
‘We’re almost there now.’
Instinctively, I felt that the hill was not far away.
Rather, the problem is after finding the room… … .
‘To break through the traps and guardians inside, it’s a bit difficult with my current strength.’
A strong helper is needed.
In order to break through the trap inside, not only agility but also other things were required.
But right then.
Ugh!
The space around Jinhyuk became distorted.
[Higher deity partially appears!]
The red status window kept blinking.
“who…….”
The curiosity didn’t last long.
What appeared, cutting through the space, was an all too familiar figure.
Beriel.
One of the Demon Lords of the Demon World appeared on the 19th floor of the tower.
of course.
The appearance seemed to have become much smaller, perhaps because the full appearance was burdensome.
It’s similar in size to Ellis.
Beriel, flapping her little devil wings, sat down on Jinhyeok’s shoulder with difficulty.
“Huff. Huff. Huff. Damn. It’s so hard to move with my snot-sized alter ego that I feel like I’m going to die.”
Beriel was out of breath like a squirrel.
“Hey. What’s going on here? It doesn’t seem like a good choice for a vacation spot. This place.”
“Iik! What’s going on? Didn’t you say you would be my apostle? But since you didn’t keep that promise and just acted the other way, I didn’t come myself!”
ah… … .
Come to think of it, I made that promise.
I think I heard the electric sound a few times, but I ignored it and ended up forgetting about it.
“Ah. Black Apostle. Of course I remembered it.”
“Don’t lie!”
“No, really. These days, I’ve been looking up information about the demon world and thinking about changing jobs in a pious way?”
At Jinhyeok’s words, Beriel’s mood calmed down a bit.
“So… does this mean you’ll make a contract with me now?”
“I really want to, but I can’t sign a contract with you. Not right now.”
“If you’re making excuses that don’t work again….”
“Guntafer.”
Jinhyuk answered briefly.
The gods have developed a bad relationship since the giants’ fortress and have now become completely hostile.
A while ago, at the Auction House of the Gods, I even met its true self in person.
“He threatened me a while ago. If I make a contract with you, he will kill my base and everyone affiliated with it. He even said he would use the holy relics he received from the demon god, so I had no choice.”
“Surely, you said you were going to use Cavalado’s sword? Just to prevent you from becoming a Black Apostle?”
“I guess that’s why you don’t like me.”
Of course, this is a lie.
However, Beriel has no way to confirm.
This is because the private communication between the deity and the player could never be glimpsed by other deities.
“Furthermore, the relationship between Ragnarok and Olympus, where the Norse gods belong, is also difficult. As you know, I am involved in many interests.”
“……I also heard about the two forces.”
“I have no choice but to become stronger and at least obtain a holy relic that can destroy Kabbalado’s sword. That way, if I make a contract with you, there will be no damage to the demon world.”
“Hmm. It’s not like there’s no point at all. If growth is supported, no matter how much Guntafer he is, he won’t be able to scheme behind his back.”
Beriel nodded, somewhat in agreement.
“In that sense, please help me a little.”
“hmm?”
“We have to go to a troubled place right now, but we had a big fight a little while ago and all of our colleagues have left.”
To attack here… … .
… … You need a very strong body.
