NOVEL NEXT chapter 24
24 – Reader’s Second Museum Event Recommendation: Egyptian Mummies
Han So-young picked up the letter with eyes full of joy.
He seemed to think there might be some big secret here.
“……no. I quit too.”
I snatched the letter from Han So-young’s hand.
For a moment, she made an expression that the toy had been taken away.
“Huh? Why suddenly?”
“It seems like the boss monster is nearby. I guess I’ll have to deal with that first.”
Unless you know what effect the letter might have.
I want to check it after ensuring minimum safety.
‘Besides, I’m not even sure if it’ll be okay.’
The letter is opened through a third person, Han So-yeong.
In theory, there seems to be no problem.
Not sure if it’s really okay.
‘It might be too convenient an idea.’
I don’t know if it’s an accident or a mistake.
If I ask you to open the envelope.
What is the difference between using scissors to open it?
You won’t know unless you try.
The possibility of failure cannot be ignored.
‘Let’s put it on hold.’
The letter I was looking for anyway came into my hand.
It’s a problem that you can slowly think about how to handle this.
At least ask Yuri before dealing with it.
I’ve been ignoring this until then.
“I’ll think about getting out of here as soon as possible.”
I continued through the basement.
Is this unique to this dungeon?
Fortunately, I didn’t encounter any monsters while going to the end.
An iron gate appeared in front of us as we walked.
“Is this the boss’s room?”
In fact, there was no need to doubt it.
A ghastly aura was spreading through the closed door.
[Evil energy is spreading from the boss’s room!]
[The attribute ‘Metafiction’ ignores fear!]
Dara exudes evil energy even when she is still.
As much as a place is a place.
It’s not like he’s a good opponent.
‘Let’s go with minimal preparation.’
Instead of opening the door, I turned on the skill.
Thank you for coming to a new place.
You can also use ‘comment browsing’.
[Use the skill, ‘Explore Comments’!]
[100 coins are consumed as a consumption cost.]
[Please enter a keyword.]
This time, I didn’t worry about keywords.
It’s because you’ve already decided what to search for in the first place.
“Keyword, death sword,”
if this timing
There’s no such thing as a keyword.
[Used skill ‘comment search’!]
[The keyword is ‘death sword’.]
[Currently, there are 4 comment lists available.]
[Please select one comment you would like to see.]
1. The most recommended comment in episode 21
2. Comment with the most number of characters in episode 21
3. The most objectionable comment in episode 22
4. Comments from (unverifiable information)
‘I don’t believe comments about information I can’t verify anymore!’
After getting burned by a strange advertisement the other day.
Now I’ve decided to be careful with that too.
To be honest, I was worried for a while.
As expected, the choice was ‘comments with many recommendations’.
I got the most help.
There is a high probability that it contains important information.
[You selected comment number 1.]
[The content of comment No. 1 is as follows.]
[Content: Wow, when he stole Han So-young’s death sword and aimed at the main character, he said he was troll again. As soon as I use it, it burns my arm right away hahahaha.
[Likes: 302, Dislikes: 0]
‘……Burn your arm?’
A name popped up that I hadn’t even thought of.
It seems that Han So-young is a character who gets cursed at in the original work as well.
I glanced at Han So-young, who stood uneasy behind me.
“Why, why are you like that?”
“it’s nothing.”
In summary, the original Yuri also got the sword of the sword.
Han So-yeong, who saw it, stole it and attacked Yuri in reverse.
However, as a side effect, Han So-young’s arm was burned.
If I could just sort it out, would it be something like this?
‘…Han So-yeong, was a really worthless human being.’
Well, even now, the enchanting one-tool queen bee.
How was it different from the original?
Still, thanks for the good info.
At least I knew that if I used the death knives, I would burn to death.
‘My arm would have burned if I used it without knowing.’
Just imagining it gave me goose bumps.
After all, ‘comment search’ is a fraudulent skill.
It’s actually the ability to see the future.
Of course, there are too many elements of luck.
‘Anyway, the death penalty sword is put on hold.’
I actually thought of a way to use it.
It’s a kind of gamble, so I want to refrain from it.
I hold a baseball bat in my hand.
I put my hand on the door that still had a dark aura flowing through it.
“Huh? Are you going to go in already?”
“What would change if I stayed still?”
If you can’t attack here, it’s impossible to escape.
There is no other way in the first place.
Staying still because you’re scared for nothing only increases your chances of dying.
“Ugh, at least prepare your heart…Ah! for a moment!”
I ignored Han So-young’s words and went inside.
The moment I entered the room, a chilly atmosphere spread.
‘What is so wide?’
What unfolded was an endless black space.
Is this the basement of the museum?
Clearly ignoring the laws of physics.
Besides, that thing standing tall in front of my eyes… … .
‘coffin?’
It wasn’t just a coffin, it was a golden coffin that reminded me of a pharaoh.
Soon it opened with a click.
“Oohhhhh!”
A mummy wrapped in bandages protruded.
[The Boss of the Hidden Dungeon, ‘The Nameless Mummy’ has appeared!]
[Boss battle begins as a forced event!]
[You cannot exit the dungeon until the boss is defeated!]
The size that seems to be about 2m.
Eyes flashing between them.
Mira, who appeared as a boss, looked unusual even at a glance.
‘……No, but why is there an expensive mummy in the city museum?’
Even earlier, the skeleton was holding a saber sword.
What does that have to do with Egyptian mummies?
Did the writer write the plot with his feet?
At this rate, even a Tyrannosaurus will come out of the museum.
“Ugh! Aww! I hate it now! Just get hit! I followed him and met only monsters! I hate it now!”
“ah.”
At that time, Han So-young suddenly started running backwards.
Looks like he’ll run away from the dungeon.
“Queuck!”
However, you cannot go outside during the boss fight.
Han So-young ran and stuck to the wall in the air.
He fainted and fell to the floor.
“……It’s crazy, really.”
I lifted the baseball bat with a sigh.
I didn’t expect anything from Han So-yeong anyway, so it didn’t matter.
– Dig!
Holding on to the baseball bat, he kicked the ground straight away.
Player must win!
‘If it’s a mummy, it must be a similar type to the dolls I first met.’
＜Item information＞
▶Name: Pasa’s Talisman
▶Type: Amulet
▶Rating: D
▶Effect: Can give a strong blow to the spiritual body.
▶Description: It is an amulet that allows ordinary people to reach the spiritual body. You can attach the amulet directly or attach it to a weapon. The weapon has stronger destructive power against the spiritual body.
Now my baseball bat has a Pasa amulet attached to it.
Even a boss will receive additional damage the same!
“Big!”
Mira stretched out her hand.
by easily avoiding it.
straight away swinging a baseball bet,
– Perok!
Mira’s body was slightly pushed back.
A acrid smell like burning spread.
‘It works!’
Maybe it’s the effect of Pasa’s talisman.
His body started to burn slightly.
“Cheer up!”
Mira waved her hand again.
However, it did not reach me, whose stats had already risen significantly.
Just like that, swing the baseball bet again.
– Perok! puck! Quick!
one, two, three.
After hitting the body like that in a row.
[Consumes 50 mana.]
[Use the skill, ‘Strike of the Whole Body’!]
-Jjooong!!
He unleashed a powerful blow that even knocked down a bear.
Mira’s body flew backwards and crashed into the wall.
‘Can I do it?’
I thought it might be dangerous because it’s a hidden boss.
Rather, I even thought that the bear might be more dangerous.
Mira, who had fallen down then, jumped up.
He picked up the floor with his hand.
[The boss monster ‘nameless mummy’ has called vengeance!]
Swook on the floor! and a hand came out.
The next thing that crawls out of the ground is the same mummy.
But the number is not one.
At least dozens, no, maybe hundreds of mummies popped out.
“……is it true?”
I wonder if the villains who dealt with Naruto’s shadow alter ego felt this way.
I should have known since the room was strangely large.
But no matter how much, there is a degree.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Mira burst into laughter.
As if he was sure of his victory.
‘It would be impossible to kill them one by one.’
I don’t think I’ll lose by fighting.
The problem is stamina.
Due to my fighting style, I can only kill by hitting them one by one.
If you push with quantity, there is no way to answer.
‘……I have no choice but to do this.’
My gaze turned to the sword of the death penalty that was worn around my waist.
An idea that came to my mind when I first got a clue about this sword.
‘If this sword is similar to the one Yuri uses.’
I was literally just thinking.
I didn’t expect to try it right away.
“If you’re going to die anyway, you should try it.”
Without hesitation, I pulled out the death penalty sword.
-Pur!
At the same time, blue fire erupted from the sword.
The flame ate not only the sword, but also my arm.
[I couldn’t build enough karma to use the weapon!]
[If you use more than this, you will receive a fatal blow!]
Hands are burned by the flames that spew out.
The brain-ripening pain spread, but there was no problem.
[The attribute ‘Metafiction’ is strongly activated!]
[Ignores pain with attribute effect!]
Because the metafiction reacted in real time relieved the pain.
Of course it still hurts.
Now is not the time to pursue it.
“I know because I’ve already done it! whether you admit it or not! If you hold the sword in your hand, you can use it!”
Although the flames started completely engulfing my arm.
My hand did not let go of the death knell that I was holding.
At the same time, something flowed in my head, no, in my soul.
Is it because it’s a feeling you’ve experienced before?
Instinctively, I realized that it was the sword talking to me.
“It lowers the spirits of the sky and raises the spirits of the earth, arranging the images of the sun and moon, and forming the shapes of mountains and rivers.”
It’s not like the sword recognized me as its master.
The sword also just wants to burn the ‘vengeful spirit’ in front of its eyes.
The fire burned even me, the user.
Pain as if the whole body was being torn apart.
The sensation of dying burned skin.
I feel my soul burning.
If it wasn’t for metafiction, it wouldn’t be strange to go crazy.
Ignore it.
Entrust your body to the energy flowing from the sword.
“It drives the black thunder and lightning and moves the universe.”
I was convinced at the same time.
If it’s a huge power in your hands right now.
The certainty that he could burn any enemy in front of him.
“I will defeat the great evil and make it right with a clever slash.”
It’s scary to say that.
I swung my sword.
-Roaring!
Blue flames went out.
Flames like huge waves with lightning.
The energy of the human being exuded by the sword that is said to slay all demons.
In an instant, he swallowed foreign mummies.
“Kooo!”
“Quaaa!”
The mummies are engulfed in flames and begin to burn.
They burned with a terrible scream.
[You have acquired 10 Coins.]
[You have acquired 20 Coins.]
[You have acquired 10 Coins.]
[You have acquired 30 coins.]
[You have acquired 20 Coins.]
I wielded the death knives to my heart’s content.
Until all the enemies in front of this flame are reduced to ashes.
The mummies engulfed in flames all disappeared.
“Kuuu… … .”
Soon after, the flames were bought along with the mummies.
I slowly raised my head and looked in front of me.
Only one charred mummy.
I was standing there alone.
“It’s over.”
And even that mummy collapses.
[You defeated the boss monster ‘Nameless Mummy’.]
[Acquired ‘Mummy’s Essence’ as a result of the Monster Slaughter effect!]
[Your HP has reached ‘0’!]
[Restore life using essence!]
“Whoa! I almost died this time.”
In no time, the completely burned arm was restored.
Monster predation and its derivation ability are the effects of ‘vivid resurrection’.
＜derivative ability＞
▶Skill Name: Resurrection
▶Grade: A
▶Level: Max
▶Magic Consumption: 1 Essence
▶Skill effect
: Even if you die by consuming the essence held in your body, you will be revived once. Can be used up to 3 times. (remaining count: 1)
▶Possessed Essence: 0
It was a gamble, expecting that if you kill the boss monster, the essence will come out.
It seems to have been barely successful.
‘But I can’t do it twice.’
Even if the pain is reduced thanks to metafiction.
It wasn’t an experience I wanted to do more than once.
Of course it was worth it.
[Level has risen!]
[Level has risen!]
[You have acquired the hidden item ‘Great Mummy’s Bandage’.]
[Special item. You have acquired the ‘Cursed Eyes of the Dead’.]
[You have acquired 2000 coins.]
Level up and items.
Coins there.
After all, the reward of the boss is great.
‘If it wasn’t for the death knell and the search for comments, I would have really died this time.’
Pasasac!
At that time, the sound of something breaking echoed from the sword of the sword that was holding.
Soon, the sword turned to powder and then shattered and scattered.
‘……Did I run out of durability?’
There was a hint of it from the beginning, so I wanted to.
In the end, it will be destroyed like this.
Of course, you can’t burn your arms over and over again.
I won’t be able to use it again.
It was regretful to lose an S-class item like this.
[The energy contained in the Death Sword is dissipated.]
[Some energy permeates nearby weapons.]
But suddenly, particles from the sword began to gather in my baseball bat.
Soon after, a soft blue light streamed from the baseball bat.
[The baseball bat has absorbed some of the sword’s energy!]
“……uh?”
