-Zeus’ lightning strikes.
Kwarrrrung!
“Ugh-uh-uh!”
Seun threw Astraphe without hesitation towards the outer that appeared through the ceiling.
Ignoring the common sense of lightning striking from the sky to the ground, the sharp thunderbolt traveled backwards from below and pierced the guy’s head.
The sound of thunder filled the warehouse, and Outer screamed just as loudly.
“Is it effective?”
This is where Seun stands. The deepest part of the warehouse where he entered to find the hourglass of Kronos is filled with the best treasures, no less than the hourglass.
Of course, the Astraphe that I just used.
[ Lightning that brings typhoon, Bazra ]
– A weapon used by the brain god Indra to defeat the Asuras, it can cut and pierce anything.
The best weapons used by the highest-level constellations were everywhere.
“Anyway, I won’t be able to take it!”
Kwarur-!!
He threw the weapon, which was known to be cherished even by the constellation Indra, the master of Vajra, at Outer without a moment’s hesitation.
Throwing a spear.
They are using the sacred relics of the Lord as if they were disposable items.
If Indra, the original owner, had seen this scene, he would have been very angry and would have even torn Seun apart, even breaking the law of causality.
Of course, now that all the constellations have been swallowed up by the Outer, this is a meaningless worry.
“Geuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The outer screams grew louder.
A mark was left on the skin of the man who was so strong that he could shatter the gold of the Manma Hall, leaving a mark where the Vazra had penetrated it.
Since a high-level weapon was used, even if it was just the remnants of an outer garment, sufficient damage was inflicted.
It was a shame to send out weapons that could be called the highest sacred relics one after another, but there was nothing I could do.
Because, depending on the power of Kronos’ hourglass, it will eventually be impossible to take the items here back to the past.
however.
‘How did you get all these together?’
While I was happily throwing the sacred objects, a question arose in my mind.
If it was the magic sword or holy relics that I saw at the entrance of the warehouse, how did I obtain these holy relics of the highest level at the end of the warehouse?
Astragalus is known as the main weapon of Zeus, the god of the sky.
You stole such a weapon and put it in your warehouse without a care? You had such abilities, and yet you lost in the Shinma War?
No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense.
Meanwhile.
‘It’s not real.’
Se-Woon was able to realize the true identity of the numerous treasures that existed in the warehouse.
In fact, it was natural. If these relics were real, even if they were just for a one-time use, there was no way Seun, a normal human who was neither a transcendent being nor a human, could use them.
For a relic of this level, only an apostle-level player of that god would be able to raise the relic’s power by a very small amount.
However, just because they are not real doesn’t mean they are all fake.
‘Did you pick up the traces and recreate them?’
For example, this astrape is a replica of the original, with its power amplified based on traces of Zeus actually using the astrape.
The same goes for other things.
To put it simply, it’s a kind of replica.
It is a ‘counterfeit’.
How strong must one’s greed be to create counterfeit goods and store them in a warehouse?
Looking at these, I could see how great the obsession of the constellation known as the Demon of Greed was.
“Well, I don’t mind!”
[Sword of Destruction, Levatein]
– A weapon created by Loki using runes in Niflheim as the sword of Surtr, the flaming giant who exists to burn the world.
Hurrruk!
This time it’s the sword of fire.
Although it didn’t have as good a penetrating power as the weapons I had thrown before, the moment Levatein pierced Outer’s body, hot flames began to rise.
The heat was so strong that Se-un could feel the burning heat on his skin.
“Geu-uh-uh-uh!”
Boom, bang!
The outer’s struggles become more intense.
The gold that had been forming the ceiling pours down, and underneath it, the treasures that the god of greed had collected throughout his life are buried and disappear.
The wounds on the guy’s body healed strangely quickly, but Seun was even faster at throwing his new weapon.
“The main body has finally been revealed.”
The Outer has no fixed form. Perhaps because it has a slimy, flowing body, it mostly covers other living things to form a frame.
The guy who’s currently struggling between the collapsed ceilings is the same.
As the attacks were repeated, the sloshing liquid on the surface began to peel away, revealing the main body.
“wild boar?”
Although it is not clearly visible, the power of the outer increases based on the power of the creature it has swallowed.
Accordingly, the power of the main body that destroyed the Manma Hall must also be incredibly strong.
-28 seconds left until all the sand grains fall… … .
Before I knew it, there were less than thirty seconds left.
The number of weapons used in the past ten minutes easily exceeds ten, and now we’re finally getting to the surface.
That guy is not even a real outer, but a part of the remnants that flowed down from the outer’s body. I couldn’t even imagine where such a being came from.
[ Spear of Radiance, Brunak ]
– The spear of the god of light, ‘Lu Rabada’, who is known to move on his own, never deviate, and pierce through everything.
Is this some kind of venting?
Anyway, since time would return, it didn’t matter what happened to the guy, but Se-woon wanted to kill at least one Outer with his own hands.
This was also a declaration of war that he would face the Outer after returning through the hourglass of Kronos.
“Ugh!”
Wedge!
I put strength into my lower body, twisted my waist, and stretched out my arms with all my might. I squeezed out all the mana and strength I had, and greatly twisted the muscles in my entire body.
A sharp pain came over me, and I could taste blood in my mouth, but I had no regrets.
Phew!
A flash of light brighter than gold pierced through Outer’s body, creating a new hole.
The outer’s movements stopped as if it were a lie.
And Seun’s attacks did not end here.
Phew!!
A flash of light emitted from the Brunak that had dug deep into the outer’s body.
Light began to pour out from the holes all over the guy’s body, and his body slowly began to swell up red.
“Geu-uh-uh!!”
As if sensing his own end, the outer let out an awkward roar.
The moment when the flash of light coming from Brunak becomes so bright that it is difficult to open your eyes.
Phew!
The outer body burst like a water balloon.
It is difficult to kill the body of the squirming outer, but the one that has swallowed a living being dies the moment the host dies, just like a parasite.
With this, he became the first player to defeat the Outer.
– Defeated the Outer for the first time as a player.
– A great achievement has been achieved.
-You have earned 500,000,000 points as a reward.
There was an unimaginable amount of public service, but I couldn’t see any of it.
Because it was a point that would be reset the moment the hourglass started working anyway.
And as if waiting for the outer to die, the sand inside the hourglass completely flowed out.
-The hourglass of Kronos is working.
-Player ‘Jeong Se-woon’s’ causality is reversed.
-All skills you have will disappear.
-All abilities accumulated at the top will disappear.
…
The light from the hourglass filled my vision.
All the strength I had accumulated while climbing up the tower unintentionally and trying to survive disappeared.
Not only the abilities accumulated through various achievements and hidden pieces, but also Seun’s best unique skill, ‘Journey’s Guide’.
It’s just going back to the past.
As if to prove that I had grown up to this point, all my strength drained away and a feeling of lethargy filled my body.
‘But I can do it.’
Se-un made a promise.
Even without a guidebook for the journey, he was confident that he was superior to any player on the top in terms of the amount of knowledge.
Thanks to the guidebook of the journey, I have discovered the knowledge and countless hidden pieces that I knew but could not obtain due to my lack of strength.
I’ll monopolize all of that stuff and become strong enough to chew on these damn things.
The moment I made that pledge, a new message suddenly filled my vision.
-The ‘treasure trove of greed’ has collapsed.
-The owner of the warehouse does not exist.
– Player ‘Jeong Se-woon’, who is currently entering the warehouse and holding the golden key, is recognized as the owner of the ‘Treasure House of Greed’.
-‘Treasure House of Greed’ is absorbed as a power.
“uh?”
Even as the hourglass was running out of energy and I was feeling disoriented, I knew one thing for sure.
That he had become the owner of this warehouse.
But what good is that? If we regress anyway, it won’t be possible to take the warehouse with us.
Moreover, the message that emerged was not the end of it.
-The devil of gluttony has been defeated.
-The ‘Power of Gluttony’ loses its master.
– The player who defeated the evil master of gluttony, ‘Jeong Se-woon’, is granted the ‘Power of Gluttony’.
“What is this?”
The Demon of Gluttony? Was the monster that the Outer that I just defeated was using as a host the Demon of Gluttony? That’s not the problem, but if it’s the power of Gluttony, then it must be the power of one of the seven demons, right?
In the short time it took for Kronos’ hourglass to tick, a thousand thoughts raced through my head.
He wanted to read the message again to sort out the information, but time was no longer on Seun’s side.
Spot!
The surrounding scenery, which had been dyed white with brilliant light, suddenly went out and was dyed dark.
It felt like a blunt impact, like being hit in the back of the head with a baseball bat.
All sensations disappeared, and nausea set in, along with the pain of my intestines twisting and collapsing my sense of balance.
I feel like I’ve been abandoned in the middle of the universe.
‘You must not lose your mind!’
Se-Woon held on to his senses, using the pain that was tormenting him as a rope.
I swallowed my nausea and clenched my fists. In order not to lose myself, I repeated the three letters of my name, Jeong Se-woon, over and over again.
The hourglass of Kronos.
I couldn’t tell if it was because it was a counterfeit product or if it was an aftereffect of the process of reversing causality.
However, if I lose my mind here, I feel like I will be lost forever in a rift in time.
How many hundreds of times did he repeat his own name like that?
Srrrr.
A warm sensation seeped through my skin, which had become numb as if frozen solid.
Through my tightly closed eyelids, I felt a bright light. The fragrant scent of grass flowed in through my blocked sense of smell.
I slowly took a deep breath and carefully opened my eyes, and a scene that had been so long ago but that I could never forget unfolded before my eyes.
-Welcome to the tutorial.
The outskirts of the tower.
A test to determine if a player is qualified to enter the tower.
It was the moment when the tutorial began.
