Max Level Miscellaneous Character - Chapter 73
Chapter 73: Time Attack
the spear flies. It pierces through all enemies that stand in its way and disappear. The body fluid, which had already changed too much to be human, soaked the floor.
Skkk!
He swung his sword. The head, which became similar to the head of the fish, flew in the air and rolled on the floor. The body that lost its head took a few more steps and fell to the floor and wriggled.
Whoops!
Flames rose from the body that had not yet stopped breathing. The flesh, which seemed sticky and moist, turns into charcoal and scatters.
While dealing with such mutated humans, Ivan glanced to the side.
‘They fight well.’
It was only natural that other colleagues were running rampant, but the crew’s performance was better than he expected. The mutated humans were fighting well, even though they were slow in action, but they were not so easy because they came at them in a strange way.
Usually, it was a merchant ship, but if there was no one around, it was common to change flags and suddenly turn into pirates. Do they have to be at this level to work as a sailor in such a place?
But again, it was odd to say it was very good. They fought well for an ordinary sailor, but it doesn’t feel like a cult group serving the tyrants of the deep sea.
It’s already been found out that it’s a cult, so it’s fine to use it if they have the power they’ve been hiding.
In fact, while sailing, Ivan looked at them several. If there was such a power, he would have already grasped it before.
They deliberately filled them with people with less power to hide that they were a cult group. So it means they’re not real, and people who might be called elite are secretly following behind.
Ivan stretched out his hand with that thought. The spears that had flown away returned one after another and were caught in his hand.
Tsar!
After wiping off the blood on the spear, he put it in my inventory.
He didn’t have to use his hand anymore. The battlefield had already been cleared up. Instead, Ivan stared intently at the sky.
“What are you looking at?”
Thomas Meyer’s voice was suddenly heard. Ivan replied slowly, turning his head to look at him.
“The movement of the stars. But it seems like this is a place where there is no day.”
At that, Thomas Meyer nodded his head. He answered as he pulled out his pocket watch and looked at it.
“Yeah, the sky hasn’t changed at all.”
“Time is fixed. It must have been like this at the time. Hundreds of years ago, something must have happened that night.”
Inside the dungeon was a world that returned to a completely different rule. It is not surprising that the sun does not rise.
“Hundreds of years have passed and finally arrived on that fateful day.”
After that, they wandered around for a few more hours to figure out the geography of our surroundings. Is there no running water, is there no food to eat, is there no place to camp?
After such a search, Thomas Meyer said to the captain.
“For now, let’s go here today. Sailors need rest.”
He wanted to go find the heart of the old sea god at any moment, but he seemed to be enduring his greed. Slowly and skillfully adjusting the tempo in a hurry was like an experienced explorer.
On the way back to the ship after searching the area, Ivan asked Ferocious Tooth. Most people secretly speak the language of the Lizardman, which is indistinguishable from harsh breathing.
“Something’s strange?”
“There are three.”
“Three? what?”
“The Cursed are responding to Kyle. They swung at him more wildly. It’s as if they’re so excited that they can’t see their surroundings.”
“It looks like the blood of Carly Hawkins is having some effect. Well, maybe it’s because Carly Hawkins must have been cursed for the hidden treasure. Maybe it’s an instinctive feeling that Kyle is his descendant. Second is?”
“Better than I thought. The hospitality for Kyle is good. I don’t think it’s just because they need his blood.”
“Not bad. Last one?”
So far, this has not been very surprising. Because Ivan was also aware to some extent. But what about the third?
Ferocious Tooth glanced at Thomas Meyer and answered.
“I realized what he had been hidden by the strong smell of medicine. It smells similar to the guys I met a while ago. The fishy smell of rotten fish from those who have been cursed and mutated.”
Ivan involuntarily tried to look at Thomas Meyer, put up with it, and asked back.
“Are you sure? that…….”
“The smell permeated the man’s body. It doesn’t just get on the body. It smells the same.”
Thomas Meyer’s body smells the same? Is he also cursed by the tyrant of the deep sea and his body is being mutated? While worshiping him? So is he blocking the progress with drugs?
Perhaps, because he is a fanatic, he may regard even the curse of the sea god as a blessing from God, but if not, then why was he cursed?
Ivan, who had been rolling his head like that, suddenly lost power and became depressed.
‘Damn, what do I know? Some say it’s a stigma and take my eyes away.’
There were a lot of gods who had very bad personalities. He must have been bored because he was an old god who enjoyed living sacrifices. Ivan didn’t even know it was wrong to try to comprehend their actions.
The important thing is that Thomas Meyer’s body may be mutating. That it could be any variable.
“I’ll have to talk to our colleagues.”

“What? Thomas Mayer may have been cursed?”
Irene, who was smoking a cigarette, rolled her eyes as if she had heard a story she had never thought of.
“Ferocious Tooth smelled him.”
Ferocious Tooth nodded at Ivan’s words.
“Beyond the stinky chemical smell, I definitely smelled it. It smelled like seafood humans who had been cursed and changed their bodies.”
When he expressed himself as a seafood man, Irene lost her appetite for some reason and even removed the tobacco pipe from her mouth and fell into anguish.
After thinking about for a while, she shook her head softly.
“The curse of the tyrant of the deep sea is not simply a body change, but a power that transforms the soul. But I never had the feeling that his soul had changed so much that he was no longer human.”
Irene was an elf. A fairy family that still retains the characteristics of a psychic body. It was strange that she didn’t realize it, as her eyes were more specialized in examining the essence of an object than her outward appearance.
No matter how she closed her outstretched mind to sever her connection with the World Tree, she would have had far greater insight than her average human.
“Can’t you see something in your eyes?”
Irene looked at Ivan. Because she knew that his right eye, once stolen by Odin and restored, had an extraordinary ability to read the invisible.
“I just checked that there was something on his chest. I thought it was the power he was hiding…”
The body of Ivan, who was talking to her, shook back and forth. No, the ship he was riding on and the space swayed loudly.
Cheng!
“Something is strange!”
Ferocious Tooth drew his swords and stood up. He watched all directions with his sharp eyes.
What he saw didn’t change at all. The cabin was still the same, and nothing had changed. However, the feeling of sticking to the skin was strange. I felt a strange sense of discomfort.
“…the ship is moving.”
Delfino frowned. Seeing his stomach churn, there was no doubt about it.
Ivan shouted as he hurriedly left the cabin and climbed up to the deck.
“What the hell is this…!”
Ivan couldn’t utter his words until the very end and bit his mouth. Something was strange.
“There was no sign of departure, but the ship was in the middle of the sea, what happened?”
Irene glanced at the helmsman. He was desperately trying to move the ship, but it didn’t listen. It was something he had experienced once.
The ship, which had been going through the sea on its own, arrived at the island not long after. It was also familiar.
Ivan concentrated the magic in his eyes and looked at the sandy beach. It was the look he remembered.
“… we’re back.”
When he looked at the captain, his eyes were greatly surprised. The other crew members also had puzzled faces. Everyone looked like they were possessed by a ghost. They seemed terrified.
Ivan slammed the railing and jumped off. Even the feel of the sand on his feet was the same.
Tak!
Ferocious Tooth jumped after Ivan.
“Time has rewinded!”
Irene, who came down as softly as if she were flying, denied those words.
“Time is not rewinding. You can’t do such a transcendent thing so casually. It’s just the same thing happening over and over again.”
This dungeon was fixed at a certain point hundreds of years ago. It was judged that what was different from that time was a foreign substance that threatened the world, so it was pushed out and returned to the way it was at that time.
Two crows appeared from the shadow of Ivan and soared into the sky. After checking Hugin and Munin’s sights, Ivan snorted.
“It’s exactly the same. We don’t even have the bodies of those we killed.”
The others were so stunned that they didn’t seem to have a good idea of what was going on, but Ivan realized what was going on.
He had experienced this type of dungeon before. A long time ago, this was a story of a time when he was fighting with blood and sweat, sitting on a chair and waving his fingers instead of bumping bodies.
Time Attack, a dungeon that must be completed within a set time.
Ivan pointed to the wreckage of the ship lying around. Someone challenged them here. A sunken and stranded trail.
“It’s our unlucky seniors. If we can’t solve this dungeon forever, that will be the result.”
Ivan looked at Thomas Meyer. While the rest of the crew were trembling in fear, Thomas Meyer and Kyle scrambled down the ladder to the bottom.
“You are not agitated. Are you familiar with this?”
Ivan asked a question, but Thomas Mayer snorted and accepted it.
“I was an explorer who spent my life searching for treasures. How could I have been alive if I was embarrassed by this?”
He was acting together, but he could not be trusted at all. Ivan changed the subject.
“How long has it been since we first landed here?”
Click!
Thomas Meyer, who took out his pocket watch, answered.
“…about twelve hours.”
“To have to solve a dungeon within that time, it’s really tight.”
Will it be possible to attack if Ivan finishes searching around and move forward at once? How many times do they have to try to be successful? Is there a limit on the number of challenges?
Thomas Meyer said as Ivan was thinking.
“Wait a minute. I haven’t talked about it in a while, but they’ll be here soon……”
“The elite fighters you were hiding are arriving?”
“Did you know? You are quick-witted.”
“Whether it’s preventing us from hitting the chessboard or hitting us in the head, it’s difficult with your own strength right now. But is it possible?”
Thomas Meyer narrowed his eyes.
“What does that mean?”
“You said it before as you rushed off. You have to do this quickly so that the bugs don’t stick, and it must be because you were conscious of someone who might notice.”
The reason why the area of the dungeon was much larger than expected, the orb of the sea and its owner Ivan remembered.
Do you really have time to relax?
“The pirates have moved.”
Outlaws in the West Sea have found their prey.
