A consciousness split in two.
Dozens of magics that are still maintained.
Hundreds of calculations, projections, guesses, and judgments happening simultaneously.
'Okay, it's a little early, but we're taking the next step first.'
Leap again to avoid the jumping cultists.
And sends a treasure chest towards the idiots.
Cultists who get bounced off ridiculously easily. Meanwhile, suspicious movement is detected in the distance.
A witch covering her eyes with a lace mask. She is crouching on the floor and whispering something to herself.
"is it so. Come on, wake up! "Help me!"
Pakak! Pap-duk!
Following her command, the floor of the banquet hall cracks, and tree trunks of bizarre shapes begin to grow at an incredible speed. That kind of thing is rather simple.
Instead, I flew towards the rushing tree trunks.
[Chain of Domination]
Churrrrrrrr!!
Golden chains tangled with tree trunks.
'Your control is worse than that of the ghoul magician I met before.'
Magical energy is driven into the tree trunk through a chain that exerts coercive control.
Weeeeeee!!
Fluorescent light waves seeping into the tree trunk.
It pushes out the will and magic that resided in the tree trunk and gives it new meaning.
Kwadzizik, kwaddeuk!!
The tree trunks that were moving roughly changed their shape and character in an instant. Sharp thorns, stems that move flexibly like a whip.
"Oh no! "What have you done to my children!?"
"If you want to live, it's better to run away, right?"
Churrrrrrrr!!
In an instant, the tree trunk transformed into a hideous thorny vine and rushed towards its original owner.
"Hee, hee!?"
She appeared to be struggling to regain control several times, but when she realized it was impossible, she threw herself backwards and ran away, rolling on the floor several times.
"Hey, there's a fire over there… … ."
"Hiyyyyyyy!!"
Before I could check what happened to my witch friend, a fist flew in from behind. Ugh, that might be a bit dangerous.
[protection team]
[Spell Enhancement: Multiple Casting]
Coooooo!
"Ouch, ouch... … . That's a pretty solid shield. By the way, I approached from a perfect square, how did you know?!"
He is a Yakuza wearing a bird beak mask.
The cultists' attacks are already capturing things through perception rather than sight. You can recognize the movements of everything that exists in all directions and respond accordingly.
"You move while making that stupid yell, so of course I'll avoid it!"
Pointed out by the lace mask hiding behind the altar to avoid the thorny vines.
"what? "Do you find my soul's cry funny?"
"I didn't avoid him because of that, but the yelling is funny."
I tried to hold back as much as possible, but I ended up adding something.
"Hey, can't everyone just shut up!? "Toriyap!"
Why on earth are you making such a fuss?
But the momentum is amazing.
Kwakwaggap! Kwasik! bang!
The multiple layers of protection are destroyed in an instant. If I leave you alone, I'll hit you with that fist. I extended both my hands towards him and activated his magic.
[Exhausted Shackles]
Shackles made of shining magic lines fly towards the bird beak mask.
Sigh!
"Hiyaaa!!"
However, the bird beak mask let out a strange roar and flew to the side to avoid it.
Slam!
"Uh oh… … ."
The magical shackles that caused exhaustion were placed on other small cultists forming a siege.
"Uh, avoid that?"
[Magic Bullet]
[Spell Enhancement: Multiple Casting]
Doo-dada-dada!!
"Toreng!"
What is that? That kid can dodge a bullet.
The bird beak mask moves all around at an incredible speed. It is a movement that almost reminds me of Bae Jong-kyung in terms of speed and power.
A flying dragon kick that suddenly appears to take an exaggerated leap and then flies while abnormally changing its trajectory!
"Kkiyoooop!"
However, this guy's pattern has already been experienced in the game.
In an instant, I used my magnetism to pull the box and block his kick.
Gooooooo!!
"Woah, what is this?!"
It's a strange feeling, right? It is an object set to be invincible in the system. The bird beak mask that attacked it with all its might flew backwards in its kicking posture. word
As expected, this behavior seems to cause an error in the physics engine.
'Anyway, it's not easy to pretend to be moderately pushed.'
Shouting and clapping were heard from all over the gallery.
"A huge monster came out of the Hungry Mansion."
"How did you raise such an amazing disciple?"
Somehow I feel strange. Why am I playing around with those kids?
I spoke again, not to the surrounding area, but to someone who shared my perspective.
"Not yet? Where are we now? Okay, I understand."
Now the game is over. After subduing four noticeably stronger people, the others were unable to get closer and only hesitated at a certain distance.
At that time, new magical power entered the detection range.
"Kwaeeeeek!!"
Mutants rushing through the wall of fire burning everywhere. That's a huge number. They suddenly started rushing towards me, ignoring the burning pain in my body.
"Oh, really, let's do it in moderation."
[Scream of blood]
[Spell Enhancement: Maximization]
[The unique function of the S-class weapon 'Butcher's Hook', 'Evidence of Butchery', is activated.
// Evidence of Slaughter: The power of necromantic magic increases by 100%.]
Kkkkk!!!
It is a magic created by adding the mysterious meaning of necromancy to [sonic shock]. The morale and shock waves, along with the physical blow, break the spirit of the person hit and cause them to lose their will to fight.
The approaching monsters were shocked and pushed back, and the petty cultists wandering nearby had blood pouring out from several holes in their faces.
The shock wave maximized by hitting the magic power even affected some nearby galleries.
"Kuhuhuhuh!"
"Huh, how could such a shock wave be created?"
When I expanded the detection range and checked, I found out that a different problem had occurred.
All of the mutants that were attacking the fallen cultists beyond the flames are moving towards me. Even the number has more than tripled from before.
It is an artificial change that simply cannot happen. There is someone who caused this situation.
"Ugh, is it really him... … ?"
The monsters that were pushed away by the shock wave rush back. The three-eyed mask in the distance is acting strangely.
While supporting a small cultist who had collapsed after being injured, he whispers something.
In an eeriely beautiful voice, he whispers something into the injured person's ear. Whisper, whisper, whisper… … The magic power hovering in the banquet hall is forced out.
Kwaduk, kwajik!
The cultist who was being supported by him is unable to overcome the magical power that is forcibly injected into him and turns into a monster.
"Kaaaaaa!!"
I don't know what caused the conflict, but the mutant that appeared just like that is rushing at me without hesitation. Ignoring the fire wall, he runs towards me whether his body is burned or not.
"Hey, I don't know what you heard, but it's a mistake!"
It would be useless to say that.
In the meantime, the Three-Eyed Man leisurely approached the next one and started talking to him again.
"Hey, you bastard, you can't stop!"
Only then did the Three-Eyed Mask notice that I was looking at him and waved a greeting as if he was happy to see me.
"Ugh it's frustrating."
I also hate the scheming narrow-eyed look.
'Maybe it would be better to kill that bastard now before it becomes a problem later?'
It's true that it's a situation that requires time, but I didn't want to be in a situation where I had to run around in all directions while being surrounded by tentacle monsters on fire!
"ha ha ha! "It was a great feat, but it looks like we've reached our limit!"
"I'll finish it!"
Masks joining in.
"What, haven't you all been hit yet? "They don't get tired of it and they flock to it?"
"Let's see how long you can be confident!"
A huge amount of tentacles completely blocking the view. And the masks that get caught between those tentacles.
"Guweeeeeek!"
The disgusting cries of mutants pouring out like vomit.
"shit."
Jump up. Burn it, explode it, destroy it.
Kwakwakwak! Squeeze!
There is also growing turmoil among the gallery judges.
"that? "It's not an ordinary skill, is it?"
"How can they move like that?"
"Something is strange! "Does that make sense?"
Heo Sang-hyun is too powerful to be just an ordinary Heo Sang-hyun, right?
It's about to be sorted out soon, so just hang in there a little longer.
"You monkey!"
Flying spears, sickles, axes, swords, fists, and otherworldly abilities that occasionally appear. Madness filled the entire hall. And scream.
Kwakwakwak!
I sent away a few cultists again and neutralized them by applying a curse that caused exhaustion.
"Kill! Heir to the hungry mansion! "Why don't you kill me?!"
"Kill! Kill it! "The ceremony is not going on!"
"Kill! Kill it! Kill it! "Kill me!"
Finally, a referee who realized the above appeared.
"After that guy started going on a rampage, death! "The bleeding stopped!"
okay. Another problem is that the box opens at poor timing.
"Kill that bastard! "You're messing up the event!"
A judge with an impatient personality uses evil to increase his magical power. Ugh, operations team, stop that guy quickly!
"Everyone shut up! "I won't let anyone interfere with my event!"
Googoo googong!
Dokgo-gyeom's story. It is a shout filled with such powerful magic that it causes the entire event venue to vibrate.
okay. I didn't break any rules. Whether I kill someone or not, it's within the rules.
Quaaaang!
Meanwhile, I dodged someone's magical bullets and manipulated the thorns summoned by the wraith mask.
Sigh!
Damn, it's crazy trying to move while maintaining minor magic at the same time.
Would it be better to remove some of the magic that was attached to Jang Hyeon-deok?
As I thought about it, I split my vision again and sent my mind flying to the sky of Sejong City.
"Achilles! "How long do I have to wait?"
[System: The 'Enhanced Vigilance' trait is activated.]
Let's go!
A sudden thunderstorm of fire. "Ugh, what!?" It's a gallery. In the end, one of the judges couldn't stand it anymore and cast a spell to avoid Dokgo-gyeom's eyes! I expected this much!
[The unique function of the L-class accessory 'Carcosa's Mask', 'Dreamy Blur', is activated.
// Dreamy Blur: Automatically casts the 'Blink' spell.]
Vision blurs in an instant. Everything in the world is being pushed around at an incredible speed.
[Blinking complete. Cooldown: 864,000 seconds]
A survival device that activated automatically to save my life. The moment the blinking stopped, everything in the world became fixed again and what was visible was... … .
[System: The 'Feast Offering' attribute is activated.]
"uh?"
Kwasik!
The world turns.
No, is my head spinning?
what? My legs don't move.
Everything moves slowly. Like slow motion.
There's an ugly head flying near my face. A head without a body. It is a head wearing a mask.
'Hmm, that's a great mask. It's avant-garde, but has a lot of charm.'
The one-eyed mask of Hwangnim Church. Are you that thug preacher who started a fight with me before the main event? Oh my, Mr. Evangelist, why are you here just for the sake of it?
'Oh, who threw this head and hit me in the chin?'
Damn, I ended up getting hit. It's funny, but somehow I didn't feel any pain.
Now that I think about it, there have been all kinds of terrible and colorful crises since I was trapped in this shitty world, but is this the first time I've been hit? I'm out of my mind so I don't know. Still, I'm glad it happened at a time when my health stats were pretty high.
Although the thrown object is unusual in that it resembles a severed human head, it was thrown after strengthening it with magical power. If I hit it wrong, my head could have been smashed.
'Who the hell are you? Who is this guy who threw such a dangerous thing?'
What kind of idiot threw a dead man's head? You are not polite to the deceased.
It wasn't just a coincidence. I predicted the place I would reach by blinking and threw the person's head in that direction.
'The sacrifice trait of the dinner was activated earlier, right? In the end, it seems that one of the beings of the abyss was watching for an opportunity and informed someone of the optimal timing and direction.'
Don't ask why, just throw it over there. I'll show you something interesting. Well, I guess there were whispers like that. So who is it?
Reverse the trajectory the head came from. When I was in high school, I wasn't good at arithmetic, let alone math, so I wasn't able to properly learn things like calculus, but my increased intelligence stat allowed me to complete calculations at will.
'Ah, again and again! 'Is that the guy!?'
A three-eyed mask with a stylish left-handed pitching form. Damn it, I knew that bastard would hit it one day.
This is not the only problem.
'what? What is that?'
A mask flying among cultists.
It's a mask that looks very familiar. Now that I think about it, my mental state is a bit strange considering I only got hit once?
It's really very strange.
It's really, really, really weird.
That mask flying somewhere.
That mask is flying alone without an owner.
I will be lonely, but soon my body will return with someone.
No, not this one. Is that really Carcosa's mask?
My mask? My mask? My mask? My mask?
