Solo Max-Level Newbie

Episode 716 The bondage of constrained regression (3)

Tiring!

Text that appears with the status window.

[Hidden copy condition achieved by resident ‘hasting’.]

“…!?”

This time, Jinhyuk’s eyes shook violently at the message that came out of nowhere.

It had to be that way.

This was the first time that the copy condition was met through an opponent.

[Unique Spear ‘Time of the Returner’ (Limited)]

Difficulty of acquisition: Not measurable.

Content: You will be able to use the abilities of all classes you have used while playing Tower of Trials so far.

[However, this ability can only be used 3 times.]

[After 3 uses, the ability disappears completely.]

[Copied abilities are stored in the ‘Memory of the World.’]

While climbing the Tower of Past Trials, you can discover many different professions. I experienced it. Of course, I also acquired countless unique abilities and unique spears.

Hasting’s unique window was a deceptive ability that could reproduce all of that.

Although there is a limit of 3, it can be said that you have obtained a version of the card that is several levels higher than ‘Napoleon’s Coronation’.

…I had mixed feelings.

Only now did I realize what Hasting wanted to do.

“Did you intend to do this from the beginning? To give your powers to me?”

“Cough! Ugh….”

Hasting vomited red blood.

Even at a glance, it looks like a fatal wound.

No matter how senior a manager he was, he was penetrated to a critical point without using any defense skills.

No, in the first place, Hasting had no will to block the final attack.

“Hehe. Cough! The conditions for handing over this ability are quite troublesome. But don’t be too grateful. “I was sure you would break in the middle.”

If you repeat and remember thousands of deaths, it will be broken.

Hasting thought that Jinhyuk had less than a 1% chance of passing this ordeal. No matter how strong a being has patience, if the hopeless situation of repeated death and the frustration that it will never end…

… will inevitably collapse.

However, Jinhyuk was completely different from what was expected.

Especially the look in your eyes at the end.

That is not the look in the eyes of someone who is frustrated and trapped by an irresistible fate.

No matter how hopeless the situation, there was a desire to survive.

…It’s different from yourself.

I was trying to take a different path from the life of compromising, giving up, and settling down.

so that.

Hasting decided to place his last bet.

Maybe I made that decision from the moment I met Jinhyeok again.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay? Maybe you have a better chance of protecting the tower if you stick with the ancient beings like you originally wanted to do? More than anything. “If you do that, you are guaranteed the option to live.”

As the cycle of regression repeats, I think I will lose my sense of the weight of life and will even lightly throw away my own life due to that terrible feeling of boredom.

What would it be like to tell someone who has been granted immortal life that this is their last time?

indeed. Do they wish to end their boredom and find rest?

no. If the last moment comes, you will become even more obsessed with life.

The higher your intelligence. And the longer the life you lead. This means that the desire for survival cannot help but become deeper.

however.

Hasting put it all aside.

There will be no regrets.

“It would be a lie if I said I have no regrets. Still, I have no regrets.”

Hasting’s pupils dimmed little by little.

Too much blood was shed.

Hasting spoke for the last time before he expired.

“Instead, please promise me one thing.”

“I’m listening.”

“If you get to the top of the tower… then I hope you make decisions for the tower, not for yourself.”

A rumor known only to the highest beings.

There was a saying that if you were to see the top of the tower, the tower would grant one wish for the climber. Hasting also knows this, so he asks Jinhyuk a final favor.

but.

Even if I saw the top of the tower when I played the game, nothing changed.

A message saying that your wish will come true. There was no such thing as a god appearing out of nowhere.

There was only a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

‘There’s no need to say that.’

For this goblin, the Tower of Trials is heavier than his own life. It was a purpose that I wanted to protect even if I had to throw everything away.

I didn’t want to tell you the truth that would jeopardize that at this moment.

“Even if I reach the top of the tower, I will not make a wish that would harm the safety of the tower. “Because I also cherish this tower just like you.”

This is enough.

This is enough.

“Thank you. I guess… I must have repeated that many times… to meet you.”

Hasting’s eyes slowly closed.

Fass….

The broken body turned into powder and scattered.

***

The battle was still going on outside of subspace.

“Kang Jin-hyuk… what did he do?”

“Where did you take Mr. Jinhyuk!”

Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa shouted at the same time.

The only one who appeared through subspace was Jang Bo-kyung. Jinhyeok, who disappeared together, was nowhere to be seen.

“That brother is being interviewed inside right now. “It will probably come back only after that proud nose has been shattered, so there’s no need to look for it.”

“This is ridiculous. I never thought there would be a fool who would break that guy’s nose. “I don’t know what happened in there, but if you don’t want to get kicked, you better spit that guy out right now.”

“well. That’s up to us to take care of it. “Why don’t you two worry about it more?”

Ssyuk.

chuck.

The assassins have tightened the siege.

The Inquisitors surrounded Teresa.

however.

Kwaaaaang!

Suddenly!

Bloodshed broke out among the assassins who rushed in at once.

As the fearsome sword river rose in all directions, the realm of the sword developed around Cheon Yu-seong.

It is overwhelming power.

Because no one who came into that range could avoid getting cut.

Cheon Yu-seong’s momentum was so different that the advantage of numbers itself became meaningless.

“Ugh….”

“What is this monster?”

“A guy like this existed?”

Even the rankers were scared of the numerous assassins they had been hunting.

There was no point in fighting anymore.

“As expected, it doesn’t work in this situation. “Then let me add some seasoning.”

Jang Bo-kyung snapped his fingers.

[‘Internal-eating seeds’ are activated!]

The strange thing that happened was after that phrase appeared.

“Kwaaaaaak!”

“Aaaahhh!”

A terrible scream erupted from the assassins who were attacking Cheon Yu-seong.

It felt as if my entire brain was burning as I felt something unfamiliar inside my body, as if my entire organ was being pierced.

That too for a while. The assassins’ appearance began to completely change.

[‘Sea Buck Curl’s Combat Soldier’ appears!]

The ability to become an ancient warrior by using the body as nourishment.

The reason Jang Bo-kyung was able to be so confident was because she had this basic preparation.

Guguguguk….

The completely changed fighters attacked Cheonyuseong again.

Although they were imitations made from seeds, each one had the power to kill and eat a decent number of rankers for a meal.

‘Take Cheon Yu-seong and Teresa prisoner. All you have to do is ask Kang Jin-hyuk to exchange you for the Necronomicon.’

If you were trapped in that hellish regression space, you would come out with your mind in tatters.

No matter how great Kang Jin-hyuk was, Hasting’s power was not something a living being could withstand.

Rather, what upset Jang Bo-kyung was the question of whether she should have prepared so thoroughly for just one person.

‘What on earth is that guy that everyone is making such a fuss about?’

I know he’s not an ordinary player.

Since high-ranking beings are interested in it, it must be far from ordinary.

However, it is not a huge power at the top. Can he be stronger than himself, who has become an apostle of a primordial being who is literally the ultimate king of this world?

This is ridiculous.

‘Rather, it seems like this guy here is much stronger…’

Jang Bo-kyung wet his lips with his tongue.

It wasn’t even 10 minutes yet, but Cheon Yu-seong had already cut down more than a dozen of Sea Buck Cal’s fighters.

Creepy! Creepy!

Pleasant goosebumps appeared on my skin.

Crump! Suddenly!

The sight of Cheon Yu-seong, who mercilessly twisted his neck and then cut him off, was like a demon itself.

No way… I can’t even buy time with those who fed me seeds.

That guy is even more of a monster than I thought.

“Now there’s only one left, you.”

Cheon Yu-seong quickly narrowed the distance between him and Jang Bo-kyung.

“I guess that’s the case.”

Jang Bo-kyung took out a spear from subspace.

The moment they entered each other’s range.

Kakagaga River!

The spear and sword crossed at incredible speed.

Front and back, left and right.

Sprays and weeds beyond recognition created thousands of trajectories in the air.

“Hwiyu!”

Jang Bo-kyung whistled.

I couldn’t help but be surprised several times by the swordsmanship of Cheon Yu-seong, who was fighting in front of me.

“It’s really amazing. “If it weren’t for this window, I would have died more than 10 times already.”

Jang Bo-gyeong was fiddling with the spear, which was all white from the hilt to the blade.

An ego item made from a special metal from outer space and then filled with the soul of the Great Old One.

It was ‘Yaksedal’s Spear’.

A 50th-floor relic that is said to be capable of defeating a master even if given to a child.

This situation, where they were unable to win even though they were using the fraudulent weapons they had received from Seabuckall, was an unbelievable sight to see.

“That’s what I want to say. You can withstand my sword with such poor spear skills. “It’s a weapon that is too much to be proud of.”

“oh. Thanks for the compliment. “It’s a new product.”

Jang Bo-kyung smiled brightly.

“When I see that giggling, I keep thinking of someone annoying. “Know that you will not die gracefully.”

Parts…!

Cheon Yu-seong’s sword drew a sinister trajectory.

Although he was still a thief, his sword did not have this much dark magical energy.

Sword mile type (劍魔一式).

He inherited the sword of the Sword Demon through Chuhon Sayoung.

The traces and trajectories created black afterimages.

this.

‘Black lotus’

is the first herbivore.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

“…!?”

The smile completely disappeared from Jang Bo-kyung’s face.

***

Same time.

Teresa, who was dealing with the Heresy Inquisitors, was also competing for seconds.

“Tsk!”

Dominic’s face crumpled.

The Vatican’s elite heresy inquisitors. They were the ones who got to this point after rigorous training and hard work.

however.

I never thought that even if we brought all these people, we wouldn’t be able to capture just one corrupted saint.

Even though my pride was hurt, it wasn’t all that bad.

Especially.

“I don’t want to hurt you guys. So just step away.”

Teresa’s disgusting and pretentious remarks further hurt my pride.

[‘Star’s Protection’ – ‘Archangel’s Radiance’ is activated!]

Shoot.

Golden waves formed an aurora behind Teresa’s back.

The rolling waves boosted his own vitality and broke the spirit of his enemies.

“Stupid things! “What on earth are you doing!”

Dominic stepped forward.

Now that things have come to this, it is not the time to save and sleep.

A richly decorated item appeared in subspace.

[The special relic ‘Raphael’s Tortoise’ is activated!]

It is no exaggeration to say that this relic is like poison to a Holy Knight. The stronger the divine power, the more the ability to destroy the mind was the worst match for Teresa.

“Aaaahhh!”

Teresa screamed in pain.

The intense pain that felt like it would blow away all my reason at once turned my hair white.

dump.

He threw away his weapons and knelt down.

“You’re a bitch who takes a lot of effort.”

Dominic clicked his tongue.

It was quite difficult, but somehow I achieved my goal.

I definitely thought so until I saw the scene that followed.

[Personality changes.]

Teresa’s magical power has completely changed.
