Chapter 135
Episode 135
“From now on, you will become hostages to yourselves. Tell me a reason to live. “If you give a good reason, I’ll let you live.”
“Kk…kkkkk.”
When Ninagawa Erika’s laughter broke the silence, Jinwei and Eira Michelle felt like they had finally regained their senses.
“What?”
“You crazy bastard!! hostage? What nonsense! Didn’t you hear me? “Your daughter’s life right now… Wow!”
The moment Jin Wei shouted at Nangong, gritting his teeth, the dagger flew at incredible speed.
Kang! Kakang! Kang!!!
Jinwei, who retreated from the attack aimed at a vital point, took out a potion from his pocket and drank it.
Then, a blue energy hovered over his whole body.
“What are you again? “I don’t even know where to put someone who is not a revealer!!”
Park Hyo-joo began pouring the daggers she had recovered at Jin Wei, who jumped off the wall with his muscles bulging to the point of bursting.
“calm down.”
At that moment, Namgoong grabbed Park Hyo-joo’s shoulder. Jinwei’s flying fist was blocked by As.
“How do you calm down? Didn’t you hear what that person said just now? How dare Somin…”
“That won’t happen, so there’s no need to get angry.” She said
calmly, but
the strength she felt from Namgung’s hand on her shoulder silenced her.
“If anyone can show the sacred relics they possess, please bring them out in front of me.”
“Crazy… who carelessly plays with their cards…!”
“The one I have is from the Wanderer of the Four Seasons. “Den Haul’s status.”
Michael put down the sacred object he was carrying on the table, as if laughing at Jinwei, who was snorting.
“….”
When the holy relic appeared, people looked at him with nervous eyes.
“I have the sacred relics of the Widow of the Thorns, the Mother of the Breeze, and the Firemaster.”
“…!!”
And when Erica took over the baton, the tension turned to astonishment.
‘The one who handles the fire pit?!’
“That one, that one. “I can hear the sound of my eyes rolling all the way from here.”
“….”
When Michael teased Jinwei, his face crumpled.
“As you know, I have the sacred relics of the seven serpents. “It is a sacred relic of your stature, Namgung.”
Roxanne also placed the holy relic on the table.
As soon as Namgung’s came out, tension arose again.
“Aira Michel and Jin Wei. Are you willing to talk too?”
“…There are sacred relics of the one who handles the fire and the Mother of the Breeze, my status. But there is no obligation to show it.”
Namgung chuckled at Eira’s words.
“Even after being treated like that on Mt. Seolgwi, you’re still good at hiding your true feelings.”
“…what?”
“Have you forgotten that there is someone here who can predict the future? “If you’re going to pull a ridiculous trick, don’t do it.”
“….”
“Den Howl possesses the holy relic of the Breeze Mother. “The sacred relic you have must belong to the observer of the sun and moon, right?”
Eira’s face distorted for a moment.
“…I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to ask this question even though you know it all.”
“It’s a matter of trust. Jinwei and you?”
“I have no intention of telling you. “If you already know with Erica’s power, there’s no reason to talk more.”
“as you please. Then, if we only go by what we heard just now, the sacred relic of the person who handles the fire can be completed right away. yes?”
Although he spoke bluntly, Jin Wei momentarily flinched at Nangong’s words.
“And if you bring me the holy relic of Den Howl, who was unable to attend due to magic research, I will be able to complete the Mother of the Breeze.”
Hearing his words, Jinwei and Aira Michel looked at each other. Ironically, only the sacred relics of the two people who had formed an alliance had now been secured.
‘Is that real? Does Aira Michel have my sacred relic? ‘He didn’t say a word to me.’
‘Den Howl is not here. I can’t confirm if he really has a sacred object… What if it’s a lie?’
The two people’s minds became complicated.
“There is no need to glare at each other like that. Anyway, you don’t have any sacred objects in your possession right now. It wouldn’t be possible without people here helping. Or take it away.”
“So… what do you want to talk about?”
“Not really. I want you two to discuss it together. So, when a decision is made, I will summon one person’s holy relic first.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Let’s decide who is the winner of the pantheon between those two?”
“Brother, that’s a bit…”
Erica and other revelers protested against his words, but Namgung silenced them just by raising his hand.
“After the pantheon is over, we have to fight monsters again. “If you make good use of the holy relics and the summoned temple, it will help you in future battles, but if you are too greedy, you will only waste your strength.”
Namgung looked at the two people.
“I hate you guys, but even more than that, I hate it when things go according to the will of the status. “Because they want to watch the swarms of ants flocking to the sweet candy called Holy Relic.”
“Smug…”
“So what is your decision?”
“It’s unexpected, but… if I had to choose between the two, of course it would have to be my sacred item.”
Aira Michel’s tone of voice changed, as if asking when she had stopped lashing out in such a vicious manner.
“The reason is?”
▶ When a temple of stature is built by completing a pair of relics, the completed Revelator can bestow the relics to two people and appoint them as ‘followers’.
▶ Followers selected by the Revelator can use some of the power of the phase.
Eira recalled the notification that appeared when the pantheon began.
“A follower is someone who can use power separately from the Revelator. That means you can get two more excellent healers. You know? “Finding a healer is never easy.”
“If you think about it that way, it’s the same with alchemy.”
“no. It’s different. Because the result of alchemy is a product. And the goods can be mass-produced. Just like the explosives you laid in Korea. But healers must stand on the front line directly.”
“hey…!!”
“Of course, I also want humanity to continue and am willing to make sacrifices. If you want, I will give you all the quest rewards.”
“That’s a remark befitting a saint.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Then, like a saint, how about offering yourself as a sacrifice after summoning the temple?”
Namgung looked at the abominable appearance of Aira Michelle and laughed without realizing it.
“Haha, unfortunately… Isn’t it necessary for the person who has completed the sacred object to offer a sacrifice to proceed with the ritual? I want to do that too, but if I complete the holy relic first…”
As Aira Michel said that, she glanced at Jinwei.
“Let’s try to find a suitable sacrifice instead. “In the fairest way possible.”
“This crazy…!!!”
Kwahia Ah — !!!
When Jinwei’s ring lit up, the place where Aira Michel was sitting exploded with a loud noise.
Tsuzuzuzu….
“What kind of rudeness is this? Jinwei.”
With the impact, clouds of dust rose in all directions, but none of the people present moved.
‘It seems like the power of the five-colored ring has grown…’
‘Aira Michelle is no slouch either. ‘You blocked Jinwei’s attack.’
They just watch the two people as if observing the other person’s strength.
“I didn’t single you out, so that’s rude.”
“Shut up you fox…! Where are you manipulating!! “Do you think there’s someone who doesn’t know that you went around gathering revelers to catch Namgung?”
“….”
Eira looked at him coldly, pushing his fist away with the shield created from the bracelet.
“I don’t think that’s what you would say, planting drug bombs in Korea and taking innocent people hostage.”
“that…!!”
“You both stop. Don’t waste your energy on unnecessary things. “We all know that you two were holding hands, but isn’t it funny that you’re now pretending to be different?”
Namgung spoke to the two.
“So, I’m telling you to decide for yourself. I’ll give you one day. “Tell me when you decide.”
With those words, Namgung was about to leave.
“Do not be ridiculous…!!!”
At that moment, Jin Wei snatched the holy relic from the hearth on the table and hurriedly grabbed Aira Michel by the collar.
“top? “I will take care of that.”
“Stop!!!”
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!!!
Michael hurriedly launched himself towards Jinwei, but the five-colored ring began to shine and the two people disappeared.
Boom-!!
His hand drew a line in the air and rolled on the floor.
“…Oh, maybe it’s because he’s a non-combatant, but he’s really slow. “It was difficult to get the timing right.”
When the two people disappeared, Michael scratched his head, shook off his clothes, and stood up.
“You are too fast. “Jin Wei’s combat power is at the top level among the revelers here.”
“But is it possible to leap through space through alchemy? It’s my only ability. “I feel like it was taken away somehow.”
“It can’t be compared to the power of a leaper. To be honest, he is an all-rounder who can use most of his strength, but because of that, there is nothing special about him.”
Michael nodded at his words.
“However, once all five-colored rings are completed, things will change again. And judging by the use of space movement, it looks like they are already making the fourth ring… We need to be careful.”
Namgung was secretly surprised by Jinwei’s alchemy, which was growing faster than expected.
‘Even evil people have abilities. ‘Because I’m growing so fast that I can’t recognize it compared to my previous life.’
The future changed by oneself certainly does not give everyone the same opportunity for growth.
If there are people who become stronger than in their previous life, there are also people who are weaker.
‘As the monster’s invasion was shortened, time would have been secured to study alchemy in a stable manner.’
Conversely, Roxanne’s case was weaker than her previous life, considering the time when the pantheon began.
This is because in her previous life, when the fifth door opened, she reached an area where she could tame not only summoned beasts but also monsters that appeared through the door.
“For now… it looks like the plan worked. “It seems like Jinwei was convinced because Aira Michel lied.”
While he was lost in thought for a moment, Namgoong raised his head when he heard Park Hyo-joo’s voice.
“It’s thanks to Erica’s foresight. “She will lie about her sacred things.”
“But the wisdom is fragmentary, so although I know that the relic of the Mother of the Breeze is a lie, I do not know whether the relic of the one who handles the fire is also a lie.”
“doesn’t care. “Whether it’s real or not, what matters is that Jinwei believes she has his sacred relic.”
“I wonder if Jinwei will try to steal the sacred relic from Eira Michel.”
“I wish you two would just destroy yourself at this point.”
The people present smiled bitterly at Park Hyo-joo and Michael’s words.
“The important thing now is the ISRs that have infiltrated the country. I will hurry and report it to the government first. “I think the priority is to capture them alive and secure the locations of drug bombs planted across the country.”
“Do it that way. But you don’t need to worry too much. Den Haul’s research will soon be completed. “If it succeeds, it may not end with simply capturing Jinwei and Aira Michel.”
“then…?”
“The pantheon was originally a struggle to obtain holy relics, killing each other. But there’s no law that the target has to be a human, right?”
From the day he told Alek Traman to become a sacrifice until now, the object of the sacrifice has continued to change, but there was one thing that did not change in Namgung’s mind.
“In other words, the sacrifice in the pantheon is not necessarily human.”
“…·?!!”
“I told you earlier. “You are all hostages.”
From the moment I met Alek Traman.
His goal was one.
“I will establish my status on the stage of the pantheon.”
Watch with your own eyes as they struggle and bite each other.
