Damned 13th Regression – 118



< Frost Giant (1) >

Frost Giant (1)

The next morning.

The guillotine blades and corpses that had been lying on the streets were everywhere.

There was a man dragging a sack on the cleaned street.

Jiik— Jiik—

The man sat astride a fountain with blood gushing out violently.

“Barbarus.”

He called the name of the devil on the 20th floor.

But it was still quiet except for the sound of water in the fountain.

“It would be a mess if I used the Balbarus call code to call Sandalphon and call you too. “It comes out when I say something nice.”

As the tone gained weight a corner of the fountain shook.

Sigh-

A man with bull horns came out of the blood fountain.

The majesty of a general wearing heavy armor.

It was the demon archduke Balbarus.

“What is your business human?”

“It’s up to me to ask what the business is. This 20th floor is a dedicated mission created to kill me. “Isn’t that right?”

The intention of the plan was pointed straight at the mission planner.

Gonghyuk looked towards Balbarus and rested his chin.

“You are a quick-witted person.”

Balbarus admitted obediently.

It didn’t suit his personality to talk back.

The corner of Joo Gong-hyeok’s mouth slightly turned up.

“You mean the final 10? In fact there were only 10 real humans from the beginning.”

「Rule 3-1. “All of the martial artists die and only the last 10 survive.”

From the beginning there were only 10 people with shadows on the 20th floor.

The remaining 990 were copied and fake.

“In theory we can achieve a 100 percent survival rate so we have passed the fairness of the mission. right?”

“Is there some problem?”

“cancer. Not only. “One by one you two.”

Gonghyeok pointed his finger and showed it to him.

“You stole me away on another mission and you needed other humans to complete the mission so you filled 8 out of 10 with assassins you prepared right?”

A strong voice was heard from inside Balbarus’ helmet.

“I don’t know. But I will kill you here.”

“You’re still the kind of guy I can’t communicate with. “Would you like me to instill the right knowledge into your asshole?”

puck-

Joo Gong-hyeok kicked the sack he brought.

Two charcoal black assassin heads rolled out.

“When are you going to kill me with this bunch of trash? After reaching the end of the barbell and falling off the devil’s head?”

Gonghyuk took out a tree branch from his arms.

It was a Sakjeong-shaped cigarette that had recently been painstakingly made by the Pension Department.

“I think they also brought in some really powerful items. A pearl necklace on a pig’s neck. And then the reward that the angels will give me increases.”

“Is that all you have to say?”

“no. “Let’s finish this useless thing and talk to me.”

Balbarus scoffed at those words.

“It’s useless? “The thing in your mouth seems more useless.”

“What did you just say?”

When Balbarus stumbled over his cigarette Joo Gong-hyeok looked up for the first time.

“He’s my life partner. “If you don’t want to drag on later you can respect that right?”

“human being.”

Balbarus plunged the great sword tied to his back into the marble of the fountain where Joo Gong-hyeok was sitting.

Deeply-

The great sword penetrates the stone with its sheath intact.

A low animalistic growl came from his helmet.

“I hate you.”

Balbarus looked down at the small human.

“I will kill you. All your words are useless. The provocations and trivial intentions that come from your tofu-like brain are empty. Also the piece of wood you put in your mouth is of no use to anyone.”

A blazing flame spread from the Demon Archduke’s back and his red eyes glared down at the human in a threatening manner.

“Is there anything more to say? human being.”

Gonghyuk lazily blew smoke into the sky.

“Apologize.”

“apologize?”

“As the devil’s representative apologize for your merciless disregard for human hobbies and self-esteem.”

“······?”

“Also swear that from now on you will put the letter nim in front of your cigarettes out of respect for them.”

Balbarus who was spreading hellish heat and intimidation lost his momentum.

Now his ai has flown into the sky.

“The current situation of humans…”

Nathaniel whispered as he looked at Balbarus who was speechless.

– Still wouldn’t it be bad to make him too angry since he’s the archduke?

“are you okay. Look look.”

Gonghyuk took something out of his inventory.

It was a wooden circlet that Guardsand had dropped from the 4th floor.

[Wooden circlet (S) lacking something]

Upon seeing that Balbarus’s eyes slightly wavered.

And Joo Gong-hyuk held both ends of the circlet.

“yap.”

Profit from joining-

“······!”

SD (800) Strength that surpasses most boss mobs.

The circlet bent making an unusual sound.

“Please respect me right? If not are you going to break this?”

“sorry.”

Balbarus quickly removed his hand from the hilt and apologized.

“First of all I was wrong. I respect your hobbies. “That smoke stick in your mouth seems very useful.”

Balbarus who was not gifted with words desperately apologized.

His helmet is probably filled with cold sweat.

Gonghyuk chuckled at that reaction and looked at the circlet.

“okay. To me this is just a nice little trinket. “But not to you right?”

Balbarus ground his teeth.

‘Guardsand idiot! If you show me I’ll crush you from head to testicles.’

-Why is that devil like that? It wasn’t that kind of devil.

Nathaniel tapped the wooden circlet.

[Wooden circlet (S) lacking something]

[This is a circlet made from the sacred World Tree. It seems to be an object made to see another world that is invisible to the eye. There are currently no key parts.

– You can use the special skill Clairvoyance (B-).

– Resistance to mental magic increases.

– You can see invisible beings.

– Various other functions are hidden]

After looking at the item description she sat down in the circlet and looked up at Joo Gong-hyeok.

– It’s a really nice piece of jewelry. I’m not sure what this thing does?

‘That’s because it was created after you fell.’

Gonghyuk answered telepathically.

Circlet’s real name is Circlet of Transcendent Eyes.

It was an item needed by the Demon King to monitor the entire Babel from the 88th floor.

‘What does it mean that an object symbolizing the devil’s eye is walking around like this…’

It was evidence that Balbarus’ superior the Four Heavenly Kings Heydrich was preparing a rebellion.

In the place of the transcendental eye there was a replacement that would fool the devil’s eyes.

– It’s such an amazing thing but you can’t feel anything? How luxurious is the raw material World Tree?

‘An important ingredient is missing. Right Guardsand?’

= I don’t know anything.

For some reason cold sweat seemed to be coming out of the vampire princess’s ring.

As a promise of good faith Balbarus removed the Transcendent Eye and handed over only the circlet to Guardsand.

Guardsand generously gave it back to the 14th hunter who had been buffed.

“My enemy is the devil lord and your superiors also want to drive out the devil lord.”

Gonghyuk stroked the ring.

“Then let’s go in a direction that is win-win. Does it even say that in self-help books? “For a successful relationship break away from the win-lose paradigm and find ways to win-win for both parties.”

Balbarus listened quietly and then opened his mouth.

“human being.”

“huh.”

“You die here today.”

[Check the approach of 6 hunters.]

[1 unidentified hunter.]

GM’s signal was heard along with Balbarus’ words.

It’s been a long time since I heard such a definitive declaration.

At the same time as a danger signal appeared in a corner of my head my interest piqued.

“how? “Are you sure you’re doing this to me because you only believe in the Shadow King’s guillotine?”

“You certainly know a lot.”

He nodded at Gonghyuk’s sarcasm.

“From my master’s ambition to the strongest weapon on this 20th floor. “I don’t understand why you know that but soon it won’t matter.”

That’s right-

He put the great sword stuck in the fountain back on his back.

“If you die here it will all end.”

Gonghyuk rubbed his chin for a moment.

Balbarus was able to see Joo Gong-hyeok’s simple stats although not in detail.

‘If you have that confidence even though you know my stats…’

As someone who has taken 13 routes I looked for cards that Balbarus could use.

But no matter which one I bring up the situation doesn’t match.

“Hmm that’s not a common sense solution.”

Since the future people interfered and Guardsand appeared on the 4th floor this 14th Babel has deviated from the general case.

Based on his twisted past Balbarus must have drawn an unreasonable card.

“I don’t do anything without being sure that I will kill you.”

An invisible sneer was heard from inside the helmet.

Gonghyuk scratched his chin.

One person.

There was a shadow that Joo Gong-hyeok could not grasp.

“Don’t look down on me because I’m being treated poorly human. “We brought the best power available.”

“Ultimate power?”

The highest power available to the devil.

A shadow that Joo Gong-hyeok cannot understand.

Assuming the opponent is a human and a hunter the puzzle pieces fit together one by one.

A hunter’s name flashed in Gonghyuk’s mind.

“Could it be Ymir?”

“You can’t escape from here.”

Shadows stretched across the rooftops in each direction.

Six assassins lined up around Joo Gong-hyeok.

Gonghyuk frowned as he looked at the one with the faintest presence.

“Why is that guy here?”

The head of Ymir’s unique city Titanomachia.

A monster considered the strongest hunter along with Mother Christina and Edgar of the Silver Arms.

and······.

“That guy broke the 20th floor eight years ago right?”

Ymir was currently a hunter on the 35th floor of Babel’s front line.

“There was a minor ‘mistake’.”

“Damn you you’re wrong.”

Gonghyuk swore at Balbarus who spoke calmly.

A small figure sitting on the eastern blue roof.

The only monster in Babel with an ‘SSS’ grade avatar.

It was clearly ‘Frost Giant Ymir’.

[South ‘Swiss Sword Taniguchi’ southwest ‘Howling Flame Lorenzo’ northwest ‘Wall Crusher Ongkim’…]

The other five people gathered were also well-known contractors.

“This is it. “It’s a fairly dangerous situation.”

– I won’t be of much help this time either.

Nathaniel’s nervous voice was heard.

In some ways death is probability.

Even if you have overcome numerous crises if they overlap again and again the moment you make a mistake you die.

A serious crisis was looming around Gonghyeok.

“huh?”

A familiar face stood out among the assassins.

“Hey~ R. It’s been a while.”

“Yeah. “I didn’t want to meet you but I see you like this.”

R stroked his earlobe.

It was the spot where Joo Gong-hyeok chewed and mashed while warning.

“I didn’t want to meet you. Are you upset? “I couldn’t sleep at night because I missed you.”

“Oh my the interest is too much.”

“But R didn’t you tell me last time?”

[Gonghyeok Joo Inventory Open]

[‘Chest of Automa Spear (S+)’ equipment]

[‘Orlando’s Lightsword (S)’ equipment]

“If you put that face on your face and speak in that tone of voice you will be put to death.”

Left and right swords.

He held a spear in his left hand and a long sword in his right.

“Like we promised last time let’s give each other some belly skin okay?”

A murderer’s sly smile appeared on his lips.

With full intention to fight R quietly sent a hand signal.
