Episode 297
clear sky.
The word, also called blue sky, was an ordinary word.
You can see it anywhere in the world, but if you’re not lucky, you can’t see it. If you’re lucky, you can see it several times a day.
But if you can see the blue sky for a moment, even for a few minutes, in a place where you haven’t seen the blue sky for hundreds or thousands of years –
Wouldn’t that be no different from a miracle from God?
“ah… … iced coffee… … .”
dump-
A few months.
Looking up at the blue sky of Lightning Canyon, where he had been for quite some time, almost a year, Ken naturally got down on his knees.
God’s miracle.
Lightning Canyon was created not long after the tower was built.
In the early days of the tower, there were not many climbers and there were not many temples, so it is not really a secret that the gods walked around the entire tower to find a good spot to site their temple.
It was like that.
Lightning Canyon was created not long after the tower was built, even though it is not even clear when the tower was built.
For what must have been thousands of years, the lightning in the Lightning Canyon never once ceased, and the blue sky in the Lightning Canyon was like a painting, like the stars in the night sky.
“… … It’s really green. “The sky of Lightning Canyon.”
But right now.
The dark-orange demon king’s plane seemed to have eaten up most of the lightning and created a clean blue sky.
And the owner of the Demon King is Jinhyeok.
I can’t say that his condition is very good, but he devoured Ken’s attack and special move, ‘Three Powers One – Thunder God Advent’, and it was not enough to give Lightning Valley a blue sky.
“The shooting star is gone again!”
Of course, Tom was disappointed that the lightning he was supposed to eat was gone, but-
Gurgling!
“He’s a shooting star!”
The blue skies of Lightning Canyon did not last long.
Lightning falling again.
Lightning rained down like crazy again from the dark clouds that filled the sky, as if we had never seen a blue sky before.
In the midst of the lightning that is getting stronger the more you are away for a moment-
“Shall we do more?”
“… … No, I can’t use my powers anymore. “I pushed myself to my limits.”
“Then I won.”
Jinhyuk enjoyed his victory and showed a deep smile. * * *
Gurgling!
A huge, rock-like man opened his mouth as he stared at the bright yellow lightning and thunderbolts in Lightning Canyon.
“The lightning just disappeared.”
“… … “We saw it too.”
The lightning, which is why Lightning Canyon is called Lightning Canyon, has disappeared.
A little bit of blue sky was visible.
Looking at it, the climbers who followed him nodded with stern faces at the calm voice of a man boasting a huge size and muscles like stone or steel.
After hearing their answer, the man gave an order with an expressionless face.
“Lightning has never disappeared from Lightning Canyon. It must be said that something ‘change’ has occurred. “Explore where the bug named Ken is.”
“yes!”
They are the employer who hired them and are a species that no one knows within the tower.
Four Hwang people.
Among them, at the command of a man from the giant tribe, the climbers nodded with determination as if there was no protest, then immediately left their seats and were launched deep into the Lightning Canyon.
Quack!
A powerful bolt of lightning fell on the head of Jag, a giant who was watching them moving away in an instant.
The lightning was strong enough to turn away in surprise even the climbers who were looking for Ken-
“… … What are they doing? “Go quickly.”
“… … yes!”
Jag calmly urged them to stop.
The climbers hurried their steps with a look of disgust on their faces as they looked at Jag, who was hit by lightning, which would have put him out of combat immediately.
Giants.
As if boasting that he was the best of the Four Emperors in terms of physical ability, Jag stood firm like a mountain, calmly taking dozens of lightning strikes and waiting for the climbers.
Taishan.
Literally, he was a giant located at the end of the ‘Taesan’ level, one of the three ranks of the giant race and the middle one. * * *
Clap-clap-clap-clap-dock-
The sound of horses’ hooves pulling a carriage resonates.
Lightning Canyon.
The sound of horses’ hooves echoing through the ban, which even climbers were reluctant to do, did not fit the atmosphere, but the person sitting in the driver’s seat of the carriage was calm.
Plilly~
The man was sitting in the coachman’s seat, but he had no interest in the horse’s reins and was playing the flute he had recently learned, looking relaxed. His purple hair was flowing.
This is what happened when lightning in the Lightning Canyon fell randomly, causing explosions and dust clouds in the surrounding area.
but-
Perfect!
As the man playing the flute snapped his fingers and moved the thin threads connected to his fingertips, the surroundings fell into silence.
Jump, jump, jump, jump –

Dolls with expressionless faces escaped from a carriage crossing the Lightning Canyon.
Thanks to the powerful lightning rods in their hands, the surroundings of the carriage were quiet.
Quack! Quack! Gurgling!
Even if powerful lightning falls without stopping –
Jump, jump, jump –
The dolls holding the specially made lightning rods were not burned or damaged by lightning and just silently stood by the side of the carriage.
Jeop-dag-dak- Jerbuk-dag-dak-
The lightning rod puppets move forward step by step and synchronize with the puppet horses.
Satisfied with the quiet surroundings, the handsome purple-haired coachman was about to raise his mouth to the flute again.
Cuckoo!
“… … hmm? Any other guests? Ha, I can’t help it.”
The cuckoo doll that flew over his shoulder cuckooed and reported to the driver what it had seen.
Hearing the cuckoo doll’s words, which were incapable of deep conversation but capable of conveying simple information, the man sighed and put the flute he had been bringing to his mouth into his arms.
“Let’s go secretly from now on, everyone.”
Nod-
Secretly.
The dolls that were moving forward nodded at the command of the man who realized that there were other intruders in Lightning Canyon besides himself.
Likewise, the horse puppet pulling the carriage also demonstrated the art of increasing speed and adding stealth at the same time.
Guided and escorted by puppets that he controlled but did not control, Puppet, a puppeteer who had visited Lightning Canyon for the first time in a long time to supply Ken with supplies, quickly headed towards the center of Lightning Canyon. * * *
Quack!
“… … “I’m bored.”
Sparring with Ken gave Jinhyuk the pleasure of real combat and the pleasure of growing, but unfortunately Ken was not Jinhyuk.
Ken, who had vomited everything in one sparring session, went into convalescence all day, and in the end, Jinhyuk was once again left with his mouth open, receiving lightning.
“Well, the puppet will be here soon anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”
There wasn’t much left until the puppet that Ken had mentioned would arrive, so Jinhyuk tried to suppress his boredom and caught the falling lightning.
Jinhyeok, who was sitting quietly with Tam and catching the falling lightning, felt something and stood up with a stiff expression on his face.
“… … Apua?”
“Tam, prepare for battle.”
“yes!”
Tam, who had been tilting her head at Jinhyuk’s sudden reaction, also stood up from her seat as soon as Jinhyuk finished speaking and pretended to take a stance.
When Tam stands next to Jinhyeok with his fern-like hands tightly curled and his legs spread shoulder-width apart, looking ahead with a determined look on his face.
“Jinhyuk!”
“Jinhyuk!”
Ken, who was recuperating at the temple, and Hyerin, who was taking care of Ken, also rushed out immediately.
Although they are inferior to Jinhyeok, they are also beings whose senses are developed beyond that of a normal superhuman.
This was especially true because Ken was able to scout and explore the surroundings using lightning that fell outside, and Hyerin was using ghosts that did not take much damage from lightning.
Just by looking at what came out almost immediately after Jinhyuk reacted, you could tell that the two people were in great spirits, but that wasn’t what was important right now.
Jumble-jump-
A road leading from the outside of Lightning Canyon to the center.
It was not the life path that Ken was talking about.
A road where lightning strikes like crazy.
A huge figure approaching, catching all the lightning that foolishly falls there, and dozens of climbers following behind.
“You are Ken. “Something like a bug.”
Ken’s face hardened at the solemn words of the huge man in the lead.
It wasn’t because he recognized me or because he called me a bug.
“… … Giants!”
This is because I immediately realized that the huge man in front of me was none other than the Giants, a member of the Four Emperors.
“You’re quick to notice. Deal with it.”
“yes.”
The giant man snorted at Ken, who immediately recognized him, and the climbers rushed towards Ken.
Looking at their backs, the giant man calmly opened his mouth.
“My name is Jag. Die with the name of the great giant warrior who will give you your death engraved in your mind. “You bug or something.”
Jag.
As he announced his name, dozens of climbers appeared in front of Ken.
This person appears to be an assassin.
This person appears to be a warrior.
This person appears to be a wizard.
This person appears to be an archer.
They all rushed at Ken, regardless of distance or close range.
Ken gritted his teeth as he watched the figures rushing in, each holding a blazing sword, red-hot flame magic, and a shield like a solid castle wall in their hands.
“Things that are cheap. “Can’t you see me?”
“… … !”
Jinhyuk suddenly appears right next to Ken, and his irritated gaze turns to the dozens of climbers.
Just by looking at the murderous gaze, dozens of climbers’ bodies freeze as if they were frozen.
Although each of them was a decent mid-level climber who had surpassed the 300th floor, they were unable to lift a finger.
Looking at them frozen like frogs in front of a snake, Jinhyuk waved his hands and stamped his feet lightly as if chasing away flies.
“go away.”
thud! Fuwaaaaaaaa!
A wave of purple-black spiritual power, incomparable to the sound of lightly stamped feet, burst out around the vibration and immediately pushed the climbers away.
The climbers, who were struggling with the shock of their entire bodies being shattered by a wave of spiritual power, were pushed away and ended up lying at Jag’s feet.
“… … “They’re like bugs.”
Jag, who had been watching the climbers rolling around on the floor as if watching bugs, uncrossed his arms and walked away, glaring at Jinhyeok and his eyes shining.
“Are you a ghost? “You said he killed his own people and other members of the Four Emperors?”
“Yeah, he seems a little smarter than the guy I met last time.”
“… … You’re talking about MUG. It’s something that can’t be helped. “The Dongsan-level giants lack intelligence.”
At the sight of Jag shrugging his shoulders and expressing the limitations of being a giant, Jinhyeok smiled and stretched out his fingertips.
“I’ll send you to the side. come in.”
“… … How arrogant. Are you equating me with Mug? I am a giant of Taishan level. “Jag!”
In response to Jag’s words, which roared with a cold gaze, Jinhyuk shook his head and responded as if it was none of his business.
“All you have to do is destroy a mountain like Taesan.”
Considering Jinhyeok’s current level, he really had the power to easily destroy a mountain.
Therefore, the moment when Jinhyeok was about to run out towards Jag.
“Jinhyuk. “Please leave the authorship to me.”
“… … “Are you serious?”
“yes. “I think I can do it.”
Ken, with a stiff but determined expression, took a step forward and wanted to deal with Jag himself.
Jinhyeok, who was staring at that confident figure, had no choice but to step back.
“Leave something for me to eat.”
“yes! thank you!”
Ken nods with a bright face towards Jinhyeok, who does not hide his greed for Jag’s body as he has not been able to eat properly lately.
“… … How dare the bugs treat me like an object. “Are you really anxious to die?”
Jag gets angry at the two people who treat him like an object from Dottegi Market.
It didn’t take long for the two to clash.
“Then I’ll take care of those bastards.”
“I would appreciate it if you did.”
The remaining rags while Ken deals with Jag.
The moment when Ken, who did not stop Jag from saying he would deal with the climbers brought by Jag, prepared to fire Astrape at Jag.
Plilly-
The sound of a flute coming from somewhere resonated in the ears of those gathered here.
and-
Grumpy-
Needless to say, the sound of horses’ hooves was also heard.
“Long time no see. Mr. Jinhyuk. Please rest in peace. “I will take care of them.”
The path is completely opposite to where Jag and the climber appeared.
The man in the coach seat who appeared at the exit of the road that Ken had told me about.
At the same time as the puppet said that.
“I invite you to the world of crazy dolls. Territory, puppet madness.”
“… … !!!”
The surroundings fell into silence as Jag dragged only the climbers who had fallen at his feet to his territory.
“… … “Hmph, there’s no need for bugs.”
“You will soon too.”
“A bug that has been hiding for several months speaks volumes.”
“Because I don’t plan on hiding anymore.”
A war of words.
After Ken and Jag’s war of words, the two begin to attack.
A collision of such force that thunder and lightning struck and the earth split apart.
Looking at that scene, Jinhyeok realized what he had to do and opened the subspace.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Soft sofa and table.
“Tom, do you want some popcorn?”
“Caramello!”
“okay. “Eat.”
“Hihi.”
From cold cola to popcorn.
chin!
Jinhyuk, who was lying on the sofa with his feet on the table, watched the battle between Ken and Jag while eating popcorn and cola in the most comfortable position in the world.
“… … “No matter how much I look at it, I really don’t understand it.”
Hyerin, who was watching the two people like that, muttered as if it was absurd.
“… … “I get it in chocolate banana flavor.”
“okay.”
In the end, she couldn’t escape the temptation of popcorn and cola.
So the three of them watched the bloody battle between Jag and Ken, each holding a different flavor of popcorn in one hand and a bottle of Coke in the other.
Originally, the most fun things in the world were watching fireworks and fighting, so it was only natural.
