The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 155

“…Monster?”

Namgung hurriedly stepped back at Gyeongin’s shout.

[Ha ha ha… Oh my.]

At that moment, Ran pulled out the arrow stuck in his forehead and laughed awkwardly.

[Was there a child with a fire flame? It’s a rare quality…]

He said, looking at Gyeongin with interesting eyes.

[The power to penetrate the weaknesses and essence of things. It seems that his power has been amplified by touching my energy.]

People looked into Gyeongin’s eyes at his words.

They were quite surprised that it was not a power that simply found the monster dropping the rune, but a power that penetrated the essence.

[Oh my. I am not a monster. What you saw was just the true form of the phase.]

“…Be careful.”

Ran spoke to him while wiping away the flowing blood, but Gyeongin still spoke without losing sight of the protest.

“It’s not you that I’m wary of. “Every fiber of my being is rejecting you!”

[so? Then what do you think I am? To catch a monster, you need the power of a monster.]

Unlike Gyeong-in, who was wary, Ran asked him in a confident manner.

[I am just trying to lend you my strength to free you from the carnival.]

“Don’t come any closer!!”

[Do you think so too? Even if you trust me, I can’t? That’s just stupid.]

“Yor said that before. “Stature is someone who follows rules, and the root of that stature is you.”

[That’s because the kid doesn’t know. In the beginning, there was no distinction between discipline and inflection. I and Woo (无) are one and two, not in an antagonistic relationship.]

Ran sighed as if he was frustrated by Namgung’s words.

[This Sadal was born because the Aspects who shared our power created a useless carnival and played a game of dividing the world.]

He threw the arrow pulled from his forehead in front of Namgung.

[What we must kill together is phase. There is no point in fighting among ourselves.]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ther…

When Ran spread her palm, a small bead appeared on it.

[But since you don’t trust me, how about this? I won’t ask you to take off your shackles. I’ll give you this instead. Even though it is only a fraction of my power, I should be able to leave the tower with this power.]

Even without his words, everyone present could tell that tremendous power was condensed in the orb.

[You can come look for me after you meet Woo. How about this? It won’t be a loss to you.]

“No. “There is no need for that.”

[Why? Just because of what that kid with Linhua said? Even if you have eyes that can see the truth, you are a child who is shaken by appearances.]

Ran said to Namgung.

[Have you ever seen the face of Leoric, who made a contract with you in your past life?]

“What does that matter?”

[The face inside the helmet must be terrible. Since the body was not properly found, the soul and fragmented flesh were tangled together and barely maintained its form.]

His eyes fell on Gyeongin.

[But he helped you. This means that even though his appearance was extremely ugly, he was with me until the end.]

“So what you’re saying is, don’t judge by appearances?”

[Yes. But there is no faith as fragile as a promise without compensation. It’s not that I’m going to help you for no reason, it’s that I also want to gain freedom by helping you.]

“Then I can’t receive it even more. I don’t know how that power will work on me. “There is nothing more foolish than eating a poisoned apple.”

[Then how can I lend you my strength?]

“You just have to do nothing.”

[…What?]

“I said I wouldn’t accept your help. I never once said I believed in Woo. Would you like to borrow your strength to fight the Aspect? “How is your behavior any different from that of the Aspects?”

Ran could not say anything in response to Namgung’s question.

[He’s a pain in the ass. I thought that if I said I could give Sang Sang a blow, he would be enough to hold my hand.]

“There are many ways to build trust, even if it doesn’t necessarily involve power. “If you really want to join hands with me… there is something I can do for you.”

[What is that?]

He took a step back.

“Better than tearing down the tower.”

* * *

– It has now been three months since the unknown structure called the Tower of Wu was summoned.

-Since the tower appeared, the door to summon monsters has not appeared. Thanks to this, the whole world is welcoming unexpected peace.

-But on the other hand, people are still anxious because they don’t know when this peace will be shattered.

-Governments of each country are gathering opinions on restoring damaged cities and creating a global union, which has been postponed for some time.

The briefing, which began with anchors gathering in the studio with experts in each field, has continued since TOP appeared.

However, although they were experts, they also knew nothing about the tower.

It’s just a rumor, and all they convey is news of people trying to risk their lives entering the tower.

-A new raid team was created to attack the tower?

-you’re right. The great wizard Den Howl, as well as the powerful people led by Leaper Michael, are currently positioned in front of the tower.

-How do you see it?

– Due to the death of Eira Michel, who was a revelator capable of recovery, the position of Revelator for Mother of the Breeze is still vacant. Not having a healer would be a burden on the raid team.

-But there is a rumor that Namgung, the revealer of the seven snakes, entered the tower.

People in the studio shook their heads in response to the anchor’s question.

-Clearly, the whereabouts of Mr. Namgoong are currently unknown. However, it does not necessarily mean that it entered the tower.

-Why?

-As everyone knows, Aira Michel was killed by Jin Wei, who attacked the Republic of Korea.

-Jinwei, even so, Aira Michel’s death is honestly difficult to understand.

-you’re right. A healing magician who was so outstanding that she was called a saint has died, so it’s as if the opportunity to save many people has been lost because of her.

-Are you saying that Mr. Namgung’s current absence is not due to TOP’s attack but is due to this incident?

The experts who were sitting in response to the anchor’s question just looked at each other.

-Hmm, well… I’m assuming that could be the case…

-Otherwise, there’s no proper way to explain the current situation. The possibilities we think are…

-…!!!

It was then.

For a moment, the lights in the studio flickered and dimmed, and when they came back, the expert who was talking just a moment ago was no longer visible.

-Um… Dr. Moonseok Han?

The bewildered anchor’s voice was the only sound that echoed in the studio.

“Hey, who do you mean ran away?”

“Woo wow…!!”

Han Moon-seok, feeling sick as if he was severely seasick, fell to the floor, nauseated.

“There’s no need to make a fuss about just making one leap… and you didn’t even fall a few kilometers.”

“Who who…”

He raised his head with vomit on the corner of his mouth and couldn’t help but be shocked when he saw the people surrounding him.

“Mr. Namgoong killed Aira Michel because there was a valid reason. “It would be difficult to talk recklessly without knowing the context.”

When he learned that the person who gave him the handkerchief was Den Howl, Han Moon-seok accepted it with trembling hands.

“Before talking about the possibility, I would like you to provide the evidence.”

“Sorry… no. But there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. “I was just expressing my opinion!”

“There is no basis. “We are the basis.”

“…yes?”

Michael grabbed his shoulder and pointed to a place. Only then did he realize that he was at the bottom of the tower.

“Because I saw you enter the tower with my own eyes. Not only that, but he also told me how to get to the tower.”

“Is that true?”

“Then you can’t tell even if you look at it?”

Han Moon-seok looked around with a shocked expression at Michael’s words.

It was neither a dream nor an illusion.

The fact that he was under the tower was just amazing.

“It actually has nothing to do with what Namgung told me. Michael’s method is completely different.”

“Hmm, that’s true, but… That’s the same for you too, Den Howl. “If it weren’t for my strength, I wouldn’t have been able to come this far.”

Michael scratched his head at Den Howl’s words.

“I was hoping to meet you at the tower, but I didn’t expect you to be here chatting. “Everyone looks free?”

It was then.

People quickly turned their heads when they heard a voice coming from behind.

“They bring in a lot of useless people.”

“older brother!!”

“I didn’t bring you here on purpose. Actually, Michael found a way to get to the tower… and we were trying to attack the tower.”

‘I’m Namgung…? Did you really go to attack the tower?’

Han Moon-seok had no choice but to admit that his thoughts were wrong due to Michael and Den Howl’s reactions.

“Public opinion was moving strangely. “I said you went into hiding because you killed Jinwei and Aira Michel.”

“That’s nonsense. That’s why I can’t do it anymore…”

“Is that why you brought the wrong person here? “Don’t do anything useless and take me back.”

For a moment, Michael’s figure disappeared and reappeared.

It was less than a second.

“It looks like they weren’t just playing around.”

Namgung spoke in a low voice as he watched Michael leap through space.

“sure. “I went in and out of the space of consciousness to try to open the tower door… and thanks to this, my leaping skills only became stronger.”

“So you came into this imaginary world through a space leap? “I don’t know whether to call him ignorant or amazing.”

“Well, shouldn’t we just have to find a way somehow? No matter what I did, I couldn’t be like Myung-Hoon.”

Michael gave a thumbs up to Myung-Hoon, who was behind Namgung.

“Anyway, how did you come back? “I was worried because I couldn’t contact you.”

“There is only one reason why the dungeon exit opens.”

“Surely… you conquered the tower?”

“It’s similar.”

Kugggggggg…

Surprisingly, at that moment, the door to the tower that seemed like an illusion slowly began to open.

“…?”

Michael and Den Howl looked at Namgung with puzzled expressions as they saw the clans for the first time through the open door.

“Reinforcements.”

“What on earth happened?”

Den Howl asked him as the endless procession of people poured in.

“The tower was taken.”

“…yes?!”

“Wow… Are you the owner of the building?”

Namgoong looked up at the sky while punching Michael, who was making white noises, on the back of the head.

▶ Ancient rocks come to light.

▶ The sixth festival begins.

“It’s a festival… so now it’s fitting.”

He smiled coldly at the notification ringing as if he had been waiting for it.

“Shall we have some fun?”

People looked puzzled, unable to understand what was going on.
