The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 153

“You are the one who took the test, not me.”

Namgung said as he handed the dagger he was holding to her.

Wooooow….

When she held the dagger, it seemed to resonate with the helmet and trembled, and black light flowed from the blade.

[Whoa…]

I took a slow breath to absorb the anticipation flowing from the sword.

Tendons sprouted from her slender arms, and her voice became increasingly rough as the energy flowing from the dagger.

[Let’s go.]

How much time has passed?

She pushed the dagger into her trembling hand and spoke to Namgung.

“Where do you plan on going?”

[I have to go see Woo.]

“Is that possible? “It seems like the Aspects can also open the door, but they can’t see him in person.”

[That’s because they are of stature. Because we are mere creatures.]

“Hmm…”

Namgung sighed slightly out of suspicious concern at Lathea’s words and followed her.

“older brother!!”

It was then.

Myeong-Hoon and Ho-Jun, who were waiting at the entrance of Aksan, ran toward him and shouted.

[Are they the subordinates I mentioned before?]

Lathea looked at them and asked Namgung.

“I guess we should call them colleagues now.”

[You have great people. I understand that you are confident.]

She looked at Myung-Hoon carefully.

[You are an interesting person.]

“Why?”

[A person with depth of heart is rare even in the Yoran clan. The disadvantage is that he does not have natural strength, but if he can make up for it, he can achieve the sword spirit.]

Namgung nodded at her words.

“You are indeed Leoric’s daughter. I can see through his qualities. I also have high hopes for him. “When the next door opens, I think I will probably improve my qualifications.”

[Hmm… It’s the 6th door… Maybe the boss monster was a rock turtle?]

“That’s right. “I will let him catch the giant devil.”

The next monster to appear after the pantheon was a huge rock turtle tens of meters tall.

The thing called the Giant Demon was so enormous that it was called a walking fortress, and the person who hunted it in a previous life was Choi Myung-hoon.

The monster that appeared while the revelers were fighting among themselves swam across the ocean and destroyed countries everywhere.

[Aha, I see what you’re thinking. Considering the reward from the Giant Demon, it definitely… suits him.]

“It’s not my plan. Even before that, Myeong-Hoon had already caught the giant devil. “It’s a legitimate power to have.”

This was the reason why he was called Taishan Sword (泰山劍) in his previous life.

‘Once I get back from the tower, it’s time to put the plan into action.’

This is the clan 『Armed Guard』.

Namgung thought it was time to bring together those who had protected the Republic of Korea for the longest time.

‘Park Hyo-joo already knows the whereabouts of past Armed Guardian members, but recruiting them is not easy.’

But he knew the answer.

In the end, it is Choi Myung-hoon, not himself, who attracts them.

‘For that to happen, we need to draw attention to Myung-hoon once more.’

It was an arrangement for that purpose.

Furthermore, along with armed protection, the construction of a world federation nest centered on the Chamak unit.

‘Of course, it may not be enough, but it can be said to be the minimum preparation to block the remaining monsters of Hell’s Gate in the future.’

It was Namgung’s plan.

[It must be fun.]

I don’t know if it was the effect of the helmet, but Latea, who was able to sympathize with his thoughts to some extent, looked at Myung-hoon with interest and walked away.

[…Hmm?]

That was then.

Her steps coming down the hill stopped.

[You…what are those eyes?]

“Yes?”

[You have amazing eyes. Can I ask about that child’s identity?]

“It doesn’t really matter, but… strange eyes? “What does it mean?”

Myeong-hoon was the first to catch Lathea’s eye, but it was none other than Gyeong-in who made her more interested.

Gyeong-in didn’t know what to do when Lathea opened her eyes with her fingers and looked at her eyeballs as if she was going to attack her, so she looked at Namgung with her eyes asking for help.

[You don’t know either. Then that’s it.]

“Why? “Why don’t you tell me instead of keeping it to yourself?”

Behind Gyeongin, who was embarrassed, Namgung asked, pressing down on his shoulders to prevent him from moving.

[This is because it is not something that can be announced in advance. I wouldn’t call it a hint, but… it looks like there is a rune master in his family, right?]

“That’s right. Gyeongin’s father has that power. And I don’t know if it’s the Rune Master’s influence, but Kyung-in can tell the difference between the monsters that drop runes.”

[As expected…]

Latea said, lightly bouncing Gyeongin’s forehead.

[That kid is that kid, but it’s this kid that piques my interest. Grow it well. Because you will have unexpected powers.]

“Of course. Because getting runes is not easy. “With Gyeongin’s power, we can grow further in the future.”

[That’s not what I meant.]

“…What?”

[Even if I tell you, it’s meaningless because you won’t be able to enlighten yourself. You said you could see a monster dropping runes, right?]

Gyeongin nodded.

[Then the basics have been established. In the future, there will be many paths depending on how you use your eyes. All I can say is… trust your eyes a little more.]

But I was confused because I couldn’t figure out what she meant.

“Um… do I have anything?”

Ho-Jun pointed to himself with his finger and asked with expectant eyes.

[Hmm… it looks sturdy.]

“Yes?”

* * *

“…is this place?”

Namgung, who left Aksan, looked at the huge pit in front of him and said.

[Are you really going to take them with you? I might die.]

“You guys can wait here.”

“It’s done. “What I’ve done since coming to the tower has been waiting.”

“It looks dangerous just by looking at it, but are you telling me to send you there alone? “It makes no sense.”

Namgung nodded to Lathea as if to see their answers, and she nodded as if she had no choice.

[Well, the choice is yours. All I can do is open the door.]

She said.

“It’s not as helpful as you think.”

[They say getting started is half the battle. If it isn’t me, you can’t reach Woo.]

Namgung chuckled at her grumbling voice.

“You can trust it.”

[okay. I hope that the line I caught is the right line. [Because it is a challenge that has never been attempted in the eons of time that I have been trapped in the tower.]

It was not an easy decision as a leader.

If he failed, not only would he and his entire clan disappear, but he would also suffer forever in the abyss created by the Aspects.

[There will be chaos when the Chant and Kutla clans arrive. I hope you come back before the soft-spoken guys make a fuss.]

“I’ll try my best.”

[I wish it would bring results rather than effort.]

Pugh…!!

Lathea plunged the dagger she was holding into the floor.

[Keeeeeeek—!!!]

At that moment, a sharp scream like a deaf ear was heard from below the pit.

[Underneath the seal of the rain, there is a guard who guards it. Just to get to that seal, you have to deal with countless monsters…]

Tsk tsk… tsk tsk….

The black energy flowing from her body flowed down to the embedded dagger.

Then the ground began to crack.

[With my power, I can ignore them and go straight to where Woo is.]

Her figure standing on the crack in the cracked ground looked majestic, but Namgung knew.

Monsters chase living things.

What is needed to deceive the noses of those looking for prey is to hide the scent of the living.

Naturally, what was needed for that was a stronger smell of death.

‘She killed herself to open the way to Wu.’

How great that choice was…

I knew full well that I had struggled to survive until the end.

“It’s more about results than effort… That’s right.”

Namgung said as he jumped into the space created by Lathea.

“You will soon see the results.”

* * *

Couuuuung…!!

Namgung jumped into the pit and drove his sword into the wall, slowing down and reaching the ground.

“Wow!!!”

When Ho-jun’s voice was heard and Namgung looked up, the spirit soldiers summoned around him caught the falling Ho-jun.

“Whoa, whoa… Wow, I almost died.”

“It’s strong so it won’t die.”

Myung-Hoon, who slowed down by sinking his sword into the wall like Namgung, said to Ho-Jun as if teasing him.

“I would have done the same if I had a bladed weapon.”

Tuk-! Tuk-! Tutuk–!!

Ho-Jun whetted his appetite as he saw Myung-Hoon pointing at Gyeong-In, who was getting hit with arrows one after another and came down by stepping on the arrows like stairs.

“All I had to do was get down safely. “It doesn’t matter who does tricks better.”

“Sure, sure.”

Hojun nodded at Namgung’s words.

It was a situation where the body could become tense due to tension, but the rest of the people were able to relax a little due to his slyness.

“What matters is whether you survive.”

“…yes?”

Kwaaaaang—!!!!

At that moment, a flash of light flew out of the darkness.

“damage!”

Myung-Hoon was the first to react and pulled on the clothes of Gyeong-In, who was standing next to him.

Kwakang…! Quagga River…!!

When the flash hit the wall, it turned into dozens of lightning bolts and scattered in all directions.

The scattered flashes of light were as beautiful as flower petals, but each one had a sharp, lifelike tinge.

‘This is…’

Namgung knew very well what the group of lights that attacked him was.

It was the gold flower, the ability of the Mother of the Breeze’s Revelator.

“You managed to avoid it. No, you should do that. “Because I would be sad if I died easily.”

“…Aira Michel?”

“Nonsense. “He must have died…?”

“How…”

The group couldn’t help but be taken aback by her appearance appearing from the darkness.

‘The only level of gold coins Eira Michel could use was to make spears and shields. Forked lightning is a power that only becomes available much later.’

But unlike them, Namgoong saw her identity right away.

“Welcome.”

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Things like that happen, too. But is death also fake? “This is a place where life and death are intertwined.”

Eira Michel shouted at him.

“Watch carefully… you will realize that the one who has nothing to lose is the most fearful!”

“I’m bored.”

Namgung took his stance.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It was then.

“…!!”

[okay. I’m bored.]

Namgung’s unwavering face distorted for the first time.

Blade-like black lightning fell on the head of Eira Michel, who was poised as if to rush at him.

A boy stood over her shattered body.

[I’m tired of watching your back.]

In an instant, the illusion disappeared and the pitch-black surroundings turned into an ordinary rock cave.

After Aira Michel’s body at the boy’s feet disappeared cleanly, Namgung spoke to him.

“Yor.”

[What are you doing now? Do you really think the reason the Aspects sent you here was to meet Wu?]

“Oof…”

The group stepped back as if they were having trouble breathing due to the energy emanating from Yor.

“Whether it’s true or not, it doesn’t matter, right? “What matters is that you sent me here.”

However, Namgung instead took a step forward and spoke.

[…Go back. I know you are rebellious towards your superiors, but sometimes you have to know how to go!! [Carry out the quest given by the tower.]

Yor grabbed the arm of Namgung who was trying to pass by and turned him around.

[If you open that door, true hell will begin. You said you were preparing for the upcoming carnival, right? When we said that there were all kinds of races in the tower, it did not mean that we should join forces and rebel against them.]

Yor

’s hand that held Namgung’s wrist gained strength.

[It meant to eat the remaining clans. So absorb their power. Then the power will be applied not only to you but to all of you humans.]

“Get out of the way.”

[…Otherwise, I will break the contract with you!]

At Yor’s words, Namgung looked at Yor’s face for a moment. Strangely at that moment, he smiled at Yor.

“Yor I have received your power, but it cannot be a threat to me.”

[This is not the entertainment I wanted.]

“I guess so. “I had no intention of becoming a source of entertainment from the beginning.”

[Are you planning to betray me?]

“If necessary.”

Yor

gritted his teeth as he looked at Namgung.

[Phases cannot directly involve humans. That rule is still in effect, so even if you want to kill them, you can’t…]

Kugggggggg…

Namgung pushed the door with all his might.

[Of the seven snakes, only one has been found. Even if you destroy the Revelator, keep in mind that your contract with me remains valid until you find all six others.] * * *

[

…I never thought Lathea would open the pit.]

[What’s even more surprising is that Leoric is in this dimension. That’s it. Is their story really true?]

[A reckless king who attacked the revelatory god of the traitor god Wu. The man who was passed down as a legend really existed, and in fact, our memories were manipulated so we couldn’t recognize him…]

[It’s astounding. Not only were there not enough returnees, but a traitorous god and a reckless king were all gathered in one place.]

The Aspects gathered at the round table in the hall had a conversation with serious expressions as they watched Namgung pass by Yor.

[It is truly a crisis.] [Yes

, it is a crisis.

] [Kk…

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

It was full.

[Yes, it is truly a huge crisis. At risk of being killed by stupid things!]

[Good. At this point, I might be able to catch and kill all of those trash bastards at once.]

[Do you really believe that Woo is inside that door? To think that our power is weak enough to break the seal with the life of just one clan leader.] [

Clack… I thought he was a well-intentioned guy, but he was shaken by a very small gap.]

[I was just carrying out the quest given by the tower. I will do it. A wicked man who rebels against us until the end…]

The Aspects giggled with satisfaction after confirming that the door through which Namgung entered was closed.

[It’s actually a good thing. We gave him a chance, and he was the one who kicked it.]

[Isn’t that right?]

The eyes of the Aspects were focused on one place.

[Yor.]

[That sucks. So even if you take the Revelator’s side, you have to listen carefully. I went into the tower to save the revelation, but it was a good kick.]

[

Kukkkuk …]

[To save the Revelator? You idiots. I went to the tower for you guys.]

[What do you mean?]

[You guys like that you led them into a trap, but what are you going to do if that guy actually meets Woo?]

[Ah…that’s nonsense. ]

[Yes, that can’t be possible.]

[If Namgung is the revealer of Wu…]

Yor gave a warning to those who were giggling.

[At that time, you will all be completely lost.]
