I’m the Max-Level Newbie - I’m the Max-Level Newbie Chapter 700
Episode 700. The War of the Stars (2)
Tsk tsk tsk… .
A faint magical power flowing out of the body.
Usually, those who are strong enough to surpass a certain level can control and restrain their own movements. This is to avoid revealing their presence unnecessarily, so that they can move freely from outside attention.
However, Jinhyuk lost his composure due to embarrassment.
As a result, his presence was discovered by the other party.
‘Damn. I make these mistakes all the time.’
Oops… but it was too late.
Because someone who had already noticed was approaching.
“Hehe. As expected, it was here. I really did look for it for a long time.”
A cute boy with an innocent smile.
A returnee who had fought in the Yottleam Valley some time ago. ‘Pain von Adel’.
The worst swordsman who returned from a place where inspectors were swarming came here obsessed with a match that was not yet concluded.
“you….”
“you are…?”
The members who were there were surprised.
Because I felt a strong physiological aversion to the other person.
In less than a second, multiple combat abilities were about to be activated.
At that moment, Jinhyuk intervened.
“It’s okay. That guy. He doesn’t seem to want to fight right now.”
“Are you okay, contractor? You’re dangerous.”
“I know. I’ll tell you, so don’t make a fuss. There are a lot of eyes watching.”
“Tch. Okay, I get it. If that’s what the contractor says, then there’s nothing I can do.”
Ellis summoned the half-pulled skewer back.
As the drops of blood scattered, the storm that was about to rage calmed down.
Only when things calmed down could we have a proper conversation.
“How can you get out?”
Jinhyuk asked as if he was amazed.
Even mid-level forces have to spend a huge amount of items and magic stones to move to another level. Furthermore, even for them, going outside the tower is a burdensome act that puts the rise and fall of their forces at stake.
But, since one individual did it, it is understandable.
“I paid my fair share of expenses. I’ve already saved up quite a bit.”
Adele smiled faintly.
He added a word while doing so.
“And the backbone of the power… I cut off all the upper echelons of the mid-level powers and took their place.”
He still has an innocent face while telling a bloody story.

This makes it even more creepy.
“Wouldn’t the managers approve of such a stopgap measure?”
“That part is okay too. I killed one of the mid-level managers who was nagging me. The other one who was with me kindly agreed to help me out, so at least this time it’ll be fine!”
ah….
My head started to hurt.
I haven’t seen a crazy guy act this way since Casey and Jude Law.
But Adele’s presence here isn’t all trouble.
‘This guy is useful.’
It is a long-term piece that has sufficient utility if handled well in many ways.
It goes without saying that the abilities he possesses are excellent.
The ‘Eyes of Gluttony’ already had detailed information about Adele.
[Pain von Adele]
Level: 315
Uniqueness: Night Walk of a Hundred Ghosts
Unique Ability: Willow Sword
Skills: Lv37 ‘Sword Creation’, Lv35 ‘Fanatic Concentration’, Lv35 ‘Fortune Breakfast’, Lv35 ‘Yuumbo’,… There are too many other skills, so they are changed to ‘Folded’ status.
Copy Condition: Not to become stronger, but to cut down the strong. The boy has grown up by climbing countless mountains. An obsession bordering on madness. If you arrange a one-on-one with the person that Adele wants to fight the most, you can copy one of his unique spears, unique abilities, and skills. (However, the opponent in this fight must also have sufficient fighting spirit and must have a satisfactory result.)
A fight without regrets.
It took a considerable sacrifice(?) to copy Adele’s abilities.
At that moment, a person came to mind who could be sent as a sacrifice without any guilt.
Now, all we have to do is provide them with the right stage and the motivation to fight.
Jinhyuk’s head began to fill with evil plans.
“Isn’t that what you want natural?
“Yeah! Isn’t that guy the best swordsman in the world?”
“Graham. Wow. I’ve never seen anyone handle a blade as well as that guy. I’ve never seen anyone. No wonder he thought he could cut down the moon.”
“Huh. Is that all?”
“Yeah. It might be hard to believe. But why would I tell a lie that would get caught right away?”
“Then, what about you, hyung? When I saw you back then, it seemed like you weren’t just any good.”
“I’m more specialized in handling guns and magic than cold weapons. At least his sword skills are a few levels higher than mine. I’m not even as good as a pair of claws. Yeah. That’s right.”
Genius swordsman.
The Heavenly Star that sweeps away enemies everywhere is the greatest dignity in this world.
Jinhyuk looked at the sun rising outside the window with an expression full of emotion.
As they say, there is only one sun floating in this world.
“It looks worth throwing away! Thanks!”
After finishing speaking, Adele immediately put her hands on her waist.
Pachichik!

With a lower center of gravity.
A rising spark.
This crazy guy is going to kill everyone in the testing room. At least one of them is going to be Cheon Yoo-seong.
“Hey, wait! If you do that, you won’t be able to fight Cheon Yoo-seong. His ability is a bit special, and he can only show his true power when certain conditions are met. You wouldn’t want to cut down an enemy who can’t give it his all, right?”
“… … .”
Stop.
Adele reacted to Jinhyuk’s words.
What I want is not hunting, but competition.
The thrill of crossing the line between life and death and the thrill of overcoming it are the reasons for swinging the sword. It is such a delicious prey that I have been longing for, but I cannot just throw it away.
“Then… what should I do?”
… got caught.
The corners of Jinhyuk’s mouth twitched.
“I know the way, so come join us in this competition. What you want. I am the only one who can make it happen.”
The best strategy in any deal is gaslighting.
The key is to put extreme pressure on them by saying that there is only one item available and that there is only one person who can sell it.
Well-established second-hand dealers won’t be easily fooled, though… .
This guy is a battle fanatic who fights with swords all day long.
Not a worn-out veteran from the fierce red bean market and second-hand world.
And as if to prove that prediction.
“Promise. Keep it.”
Adele couldn’t help but take this tempting bait.
***
[Party selection is complete.] [A total of 1268 teams will be formed.] [Each team will be awarded a badge symbolizing the team, and the number of badges collected will give them a different advantage in the main event that follows.]
Jinhyuk, Ellis, Teresa, Wolyoung, and even T-Bone and Frey who were given human skin using the ‘Human Face Mask’.
With Adele joining these six, the party now consists of seven people in total.
“… … At most 3 teams out of these.”
“All the rest are eliminated.”
“We absolutely have to get in. Just participating in the main event will change your life.”
“I invested everything I had for today. I’m going to destroy it all.”
Sharp wars of nerves continued here and there.
The tension reached its peak as the countdown to the start of the match reached 10 seconds.
From close enemies?
Or should I start with the one who looks strong?
Or should I just save as much as possible while conserving my stamina and magic power?
The standoff continued with each side having different strategies and ideas.
And finally.

[3, 2, 1… start!]
The game has begun.
Kwakwakwakwa… Crunch!
As soon as the status window disappeared, a fountain of blood spurted out.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“Ahhhhh!”
Adele’s sword stretched out in a terrifying trajectory.
The rule that says you can’t kill.
So there were no casualties, but those with deep cuts to their limbs were clearly in no condition to continue fighting.
I don’t even know where or how it happened.
“Hey, stop it!”
“That crazy guy….”
At first I tried to fight back.
Just one less.
The act of indiscriminately attacking everyone without warning is not a spirit but recklessness. It means that you will soon be overwhelmed by overwhelming numbers and will inevitably be crushed.
however.
Kukukukukukuku!
Rather than dying down, the fire burned more fiercely as time passed.
“Kick! What the heck, these guys… they’re so slow.”
As her body relaxed, Adele’s speed and sharpness became even more fierce.
“Eek!”
“What the heck, it’s a monster.”
“It’s impossible. Jump out. Whether it’s a test or a disaster, you have to jump out to survive!”
Now the situation has reversed, with those who were about to fight now running away with their tails crossed.
Kagagak… .
Blades were cut off and armor was torn to pieces. The pungent smell of blood announced the beginning of a festival.
“My lord.”
Wolyoung frowned.
The difference in skill is obvious to anyone who looks at it.
The overly brutal ending, despite having enough control over the situation, even aroused disgust from his own team.
“That’s a bit much, Ellis.”
Jinhyuk nodded his head towards Ellis next to him.
“You want me to waste my great power on such a trivial fight? Does the contractor have no conscience?”
“The Maldives you were singing about wanting to go to. I’ll take you there.”
[The unique revelation of the opening of the gate, ‘Blood Express’, is activated!] [The skill is additionally granted a transparency effect due to the protection of the zodiac.]
Before I could even hear the answer, a blood-filled area unfolded.
“Cocktails and lobster should be unlimited.”

Kukukukung!
An overwhelming gravity weighed down the entire stadium.
“Huh!”
Even Adele, who had been running wild, stopped walking, unable to bear the weight.
Of course, it would be pointless to talk about what would have happened to the rest of the players.
[Team A-15 was eliminated.] [Team B-22 was eliminated.] [Team F-7 was eliminated.]
Countless failure messages appear.
About 10 minutes later, only a very small number of people were left standing in the stadium.
***
World Federation of Awakened Societies.
I was certain that the ‘War of the Stars’, held by the most authoritative and powerful group, would be the most important event in climbing the tower.
That is why I planned to select the participants in the preliminary round as competitively as possible.
but.
“Wh, what the hell happened?”
“Oh my god….”
The test, which was expected to take at least six hours, was over in less than 20 minutes.
If it was because a large-scale melee broke out, then it would be understandable.
If thousands of people were fighting simultaneously, it wouldn’t be completely unreasonable for it to end quickly.
However, it is annihilated by just one person.
It was something that completely shattered conventional wisdom.
The employees who were monitoring couldn’t leave their seats for a long time.
It’s because they just stare blankly at the screen and forget what they have to do.
How much time has passed like that?
Senior Monitor Agent Affleck slapped his cheek with the palm of his hand.
“Right now, request all the information on that person. Also, compile the profiles of the other members who passed and report back. There’s no time, so within an hour!”
“There are close to 20 people, so it might be a bit rushed to investigate in detail.”
“I can update the rest later. Right now, the important thing is participant number 1772.”
Following Suete, another monster rookie has appeared.
The boy who was attacking suddenly knelt down on one knee, but if it was a move to use a wide-area skill of the mental or magical series, it would make sense.
To begin with, the magical power reactions of the remaining applicants were all at an average level.
‘No one stands out in particular.’
Affleck’s gaze turned to a former Korean BJ named Kang Jin-hyeok.
As expected, only a short and insignificant career was written that could only be explained as luck. There was also no record of any significant activity after the Tower of Trials appeared.
‘Still, I think I can do my job well enough as a sidekick.’
Fuel for a dazzling festival of stars.
That’s enough.
