Chapter 325
Episode 325 Playing Hide and Seek (1)
By the time Jae-Hyun and In-A Seo finish their capture of the Golden King.
The other colleagues were also almost breaking through the first tier.
Now, if you open the last door, everything will end.
But suddenly, a mysterious voice came from here.
[The climbers on the opposite side of the spiral tower (below 2 people) have successfully climbed the 1st tier with the hidden route!]
Shocked.
For some reason, Kwon So-yul couldn’t help but feel bitter feelings at this point. An uneasy feeling coolly brushes her shoulder.
just as expected.
I heard the voices of Kim Yoo-jung and Ahn Ho-yeon from the back.
“what?! Hidden route?!”
“As expected, it’s Jaehyun and Ina. We can’t lose either!”
“okay! Let’s go right now and find a hidden route or something!”
The two muttered, burning their will.
It seemed like things were getting bigger.
Kwon So-yul tried to persuade them, but he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut at the expression of the two people asking him to guide them on the way immediately.
Lee Jae-sang looked at her and asked with a teary face.
“…Soyul, by any chance, that Hidden Clear… isn’t it related to the monster you found earlier?”
“…probably 90 percent.”
Lee Jae-sang and Kwon So-yul were people with rational judgment and fear.
However, the other two were different. They seemed to be full of thoughts that they would somehow catch up with Jaehyun and Seo Ina.
They clenched their fists.
“This is how it happened. Let’s clear the tower perfectly!”
“Right! That’s right!”
“Soyul….”
“Don’t keep calling me. Because I feel like crying too.”
Kwon So-yul sighed as he looked at Lee Jae-sang, who had the same thoughts as him.
The only corner to rely on here is Lee, the weakest!
Is this a story that makes sense?
On that day, Kwon So-yul felt like he wanted to see Jae-hyun for some reason.
* * *
After Jaehyun and Ina Seo cleared all the 1st floor.
The two were sent to a place.
It was a white room all around, but the system said that this was the waiting room of the Spiral Tower.
A place to take a break after settling rewards before attacking the next floor. It was probably the place Yggdrasil had prepared for the climbers of the tower.
By the time Jaehyun and Ina Seo came to their senses.
The system sound that had been heard a while ago was heard again.
This was something the two of them had been waiting for.
[You have attacked the 1st floor of the Spiral Tower with the hidden route.]
[The Golden King’s Inheritance (myth-equipment item) will be given to each.] [
You have obtained the key to the treasure house of the gods.]
―Item information is displayed do.
[Equipment Item]
Name: Golden King’s Saddle (pet only)
Rating: Myth
This is one of the mythical-level weapons possessed by the Golden King. You can ride on medium-sized or larger pets.
It is mainly used for pets such as horses and dragons.
1. When equipped, speed and acceleration increase by 150%.
2. All Stats +100
*All stats apply to the owner of the pet as a 1/4 figure.
The item that Jaehyun got was truly eye-catching.
Basically, pet items are rare and hard to find, but…
what a mythical grade?
On top of that, the artifacts that calibrate my stats were even more absurd. The same goes for the number being 100.
Not only that, he also received a whopping 25 all stat corrections just by equipping the pet item.
It is a scam in many ways.
‘Is it also a myth level? I was worried because I didn’t have a saddle for Poppy, but it went well.’
Jaehyun also looked at the items he got next.
[Special Item]
Name: The Key to the Treasure House of the Gods (Copy Key)
Rank:
The key to enter the Treasure House of the Mythical Gods.
It is destroyed when used once as a duplicate.
‘It’s the key to the treasure house of the gods… I don’t know about it right now, but I think I’ll use it in the future. I’ll have to take good care of it.’
Jaehyun smiled.
When he turned his head, he saw Seo In-na, whose eyes were wider than his own.
It seems that she also got a great item.
“…Jaehyun, I didn’t know that an item of this grade… would really exist…”
Seo Ina said as she shared her item window with Jaehyun.
Jaehyun was curious inside, so he moved his gaze to the window.
[Equipment Item]
Name: Alfheim’s Pendant
Grade: Myth
A pendant containing the essence of Alfheim. You can use the power of elves.
1. Temporarily amplifies magic by 300% when using divine property magic.
(Cooldown 2 hours)
2. The rating of all divine property magic rises by +1.
* You will win the favor of all elves.
This, too, was an item at a level that left enough to roll the eyes.
Apparently, the Golden King’s Legacy was paid according to the class of the user who cleared the ruins.
If it weren’t for that, there would be no way that she and Seo Ina would have been given the right artifacts like they are now.
Jaehyun nodded.
“This is mine. It’s a pet-only item.”
After showing his item information to Seo Ina, Jaehyun moved in earnest.
Putting the saddle on Poppy was put off for a while. It was because it was impossible to mount a saddle unless you were using giantization.
By the time the time for items and compensation was all over.
―Transfer climbers to the 2nd floor of the Spiral Tower of Yggdrasil.
At the same time as the system sound was heard, Jaehyun’s vision was covered in complete darkness as if a curtain had been drawn. It was a familiar feeling by now.
Soon after, the sound of the system was heard again, and the sight brightened.
* * *
―You have arrived at Yggdrasil’s Spiral Tower 《2nd Floor: Hide and Seek Floor》.
Jaehyun suddenly opened his eyes.
He placed a hand on his messy head and thought for a moment.
get drunk
It was a fairly unique keyword to appear in climbing Yggdrasil Tower.
Jaehyun looked around first.
Crickets were heard, and grass and huge stones were scattered around.
“…The neighborhood seems to be a graveyard. To be precise, because Hella once told me that the tombs of a small number of Vikings were built this way. It probably must be.”
In fact, it was quite different from the general Viking funeral method.
Originally, when a person dies, it is customary for the Vikings to send them away on a boat and set fire to them to completely erase their existence.
However, Hella and Hella have told us that sometimes burials are held in this way.
Very few, but anyway. Judging from the current situation, this must have been the graveyard.
“…huh. It sure… looks gloomy at first glance.”
Seo Ina also agreed and nodded her head.
“Hehehehehehehehe! Mumu—it’s scary!”
Ratatosque, terrified, jumped up and clung to Jaehyun’s leg.
Poppy grunted a little at this.
I don’t want to lose my owner, is this?
After stroking Papi with a proud expression, Jaehyun started to look around the area again.
A few things were known.
First of all, wet ground.
This meant that the tombs were either fresh from rain or in very deep mountains.
It will probably be the main key to clearing the quest and going to the next floor.
The second was that the tombs were lined up without order.
There were no tombstones anywhere, and all of them were crude and looked like they were topped with large stones.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a graveyard for those with high status.
The third was that there was a gravekeeper guarding the grave near it.
Seo In-na instinctively felt fear, and unconsciously, she squeezed Jae-hyun’s arm. Jaehyun lightly calmed her down and looked ahead.
It seems like the guy in front of him knows something, but…
‘I don’t know the details, so it’s first to put it on hold and figure out the situation.’
Jaehyun was quite familiar with fear. Darkness like now has been encountered more often than ever.
He strode up to the gravekeeper and tried to ask something.
It was then.
Suddenly, the face of the gravekeeper who was holding the gardening tools twisted bizarrely and began to stare into Jaehyun’s eyes.
Jaehyun’s heart started beating fast.
* * *
Odin’s throne. Hugin stands tall beside him.
he said, lowering his head.
“As instructed, the climbing conditions on the second floor have been modified. Even the third floor is being fixed somehow… but it will take a long time.”
“For now, that was enough. No matter how strong the adversary is, it will be difficult to quickly pass the changed 2nd floor test.”
It was Odin who changed the conditions for climbing the second floor a moment ago.
It was not easy to fix it because the higher the floor went, the more one’s ability did not reach properly… but
at least it was installed enough to take the time.
‘It would be best if they died there… but that won’t work.’
Odin was already not underestimating the opponent’s abilities.
It was Jaehyun who had already brought great shame to himself by killing his followers and Juwon during the Limit Breaker.
From then on, Odin became alert to him.
“The adversary…”
thought Odin, repeating the titles that qualifies him over and over again.
The three Norn sisters 10,000 years ago.
And Loki, who escaped from prison.
They all said they would step down from the throne.
That he would die to the adversary and lay down everything he was holding.
But Odin didn’t think so at all.
No matter how fate ordained his death, he would not be shaken.
Then, at the end, Odin spat out the one word he had been thinking about all along.
“I will never give in to prophecies.”
The pupil on his right shone brilliantly with a golden light.
It was the exact same color as the opponent who was aiming for his neck.
* * *
“You are a stranger.”
“Hehehehehehehehehehehehe!”
A grotesquely bent neck.
It was a structure that no one could come out of. Jaehyun swallowed his saliva and looked at the grave keeper carefully.
‘Gender is male… old man and age seems to be a little over 80…’
It was someone who had a bit of magic that wasn’t that strong.
Jaehyun asked calmly, wary of him.
“you’re right. How did you know?”
“Since the costumes are different, it is not that difficult to tell them apart. In addition, foreigners sometimes visit this village, so the response is quite familiar to me.”
“Where are you?”
Jaehyun went straight to the main point. I need some information about this place.
There was nothing I could do to get to the next floor as quickly as possible.
Ratatosque looked up and climbed onto Jaehyun’s shoulder and whispered in his ear.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ‘interference of the stairs’.
Originally, ii-i- this is the way to climb this floor, no-no! It looks like Odin–something–did it!”
Jaehyun immediately understood the meaning.
It means that Odin noticed that he was climbing Yggdrasil and interfered with it.
I had heard from Hella that this might happen, so I was preparing my mind.
Yggdrasil.
The moment you set foot here, Odin can’t help but notice your movements.
What the anti-Esir coalition members had told him was still clear in his ears.
[Anyway, I have no choice but to overcome them and climb the tower. Odin must be frantic to kill you.]
[That’s right. If you’re not careful, you’re bound to die. There’s no way we can do anything about it. Now you and your colleagues have no choice but to make an accident properly.]
‘Anyway. Because it doesn’t defy expectations. Odin, this rubbish.’
That’s when Jaehyun noticed the change.
I felt a sticky gaze in front of me.
Jaehyun lifted his head and looked ahead. Suddenly, the grave keeper was facing Jaehyun’s face with two menacing eyes.
He said.
“This is the tomb of the ‘one who walks again’.”
“The tomb of the one who walks again?”
At that moment, along with Jaehyun’s question, a quest window popped up.
―The main quest 《Tomb of the Re-Walker》 has arrived.
―Displays quest information.
[Main Quest]
Tomb of the Re-Walker
Avoid the Re-Walkers, find the hunter here and defeat him.
TIP) Make full use of hide points hidden throughout the map.
*Hide Point erases the user’s odor, but not the sound.
*The use of some skills is restricted until the quest is cleared. The number of limited skills continues to increase.
* The tagger is hiding among those who walk again.
*To defeat the tagger, you must kill him in the place where he was first born.
Jaehyun tilted his head.
What in a cemetery like this?
Do you want to play hide and seek?
“Beware of those who walk again.”
Bassrock.
Once again, the gravekeeper’s voice was heard, and tree branches made a dreary crunching sound.
Jaehyun raised his gaze, which had been lowered for a moment, and looked at the gravekeeper.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened.
Goosebumps slowly began to form all over Jaehyun’s body, and his hair stood on end.
The reason was simple.
The tombstone had already disappeared without a trace.
What was even more frightening was that Seo Ina and Ratatosque did not see him disappear.
