The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 100

[Kek…!!! Keke…!!]

The chain around the demon’s neck was pulled taut.

“Hueup Hueup.”

Namgung let out a heavy breath as he pulled on the chain behind the guy’s back with all his might.

Wow-!!!!

The chain dug deeper and deeper into the demon’s neck.

Wow…!!!

Namgung pulled the chain and twisted the demon’s neck. The demon that was trying to escape the chains trembled and fell forward.

“What are you doing? “I would have asked you to come in.”

He placed one foot on the fallen demon and, while exhaling so much that he could not straighten his back properly, he snapped his fingers at the demons in an arrogant manner.

More than a dozen demons had fallen in front of him.

[Pretty good.]

His appearance was like a scene from a movie, but the reality was actually cruel.

The demons were smiling happily as they looked at him who had defeated one of their own.

This was because dozens of times more than the number of demons he had defeated were still surrounding him.

[It’s a chain of rain… It’s surprising to see humans have that, but they don’t seem to know how to use it. In that case, it would just be a slightly stronger chain for you.]

A man walked out from the group of demons.

[Where did the power that perplexed Natas go? I heard that he is the revealer of the seven serpents. Let alone the power of the absorbed spirits, there are no soul soldiers to be seen.]

“I guess that’s none of your business, right? Even without that, it’s not difficult to take your life.”

[They’re all dying…]

The demon’s face distorted at Namgung’s answer.

“The devil of the stump.”

At that moment, Namgung called him.

When the demon heard his nickname, he could not hide his puzzled expression.

“Even if everyone is dying, that doesn’t mean they’re dead. But I clearly remember your death.”

Namgung instead smiled strangely at the guy.

“I killed you last. how is it? Shall I tell you how I killed you?”

[This bastard…]

Did his provocation work?

Sssssssssssssssssssshhhh…!!!

Each of the demons spread their black wings wide.

For a moment darkness fell.

* * *

[father…!! You need to go to the grave immediately!! If that happens, Namgung might die!]

Mu-hwi’s room was noisy with Gyu-ryu’s voice jumping around and shouting.

[It’s already the 3rd day…!! Even a healthy person would faint from exhaustion if they fought day and night for three days. But the other person…]

[Calm down. You have now become the head of a clan, but are you still as reckless as a child?]

[Do you look serious? father! Isn’t he a contractor of the Yaksha clan? Is that it? He is also the lifesaver who saved my father’s life!]

But unlike the noisy Gyu-ryu, Mu-hwi just rested his chin and looked at the well from which white smoke was rising.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssb…

The surface of the well was as clear as glass and the image of Namgung fighting against demons was visible above it.

His appearance was absolutely miserable.

His whole body was covered in blood and he looked like he was going to collapse at any moment.

But despite this, standing over the corpses of nearly hundreds of demons, he felt like he was seeing an evil spirit.

[So you didn’t give him the Yaksha clan’s healing potion? As a member of the surrogate clan, it is against the rules to help for free, no matter how much you are a contractor. At this point, we have done everything we could.]

[…That’s it!! A yaksha who knows his father’s honor says he doesn’t know me even after receiving help! From now on, it is a separate matter from your father. I will do what I do and I will take the blame!]

Kwaang-!!!

Gyu-ryu huffed and slammed the door shut.

[Guy… I’m still emotional. [My father’s intention to put him down to the second rank must have meant that he should develop a more calm perspective on the situation.]

Hyunryu smiled bitterly as he saw Gyuryu leave the room.

[What do you plan to do? If I leave it like that, I’m going to go to the Sword Tomb on my own.]

[Don’t worry. Because you can’t enter Geommyo without the leader’s nameplate. If he gets scolded by the barrier, he will be able to see the situation with a slightly clearer mind.]

Unlike Gyu-ryu, who is in a hurry, Mu-hwi and Hyeon-ryu somehow looked relaxed even in this situation.

[Not using necromancy… It’s not that I don’t use it, it’s that I can’t use it. When he first fought the Demon King, he absorbed too many necromancers and the repulsive force destroyed his body.]

[That’s right.]

[If the Seven Serpents’ Revealer can’t use necromancer, it’s like his most important weapon is broken. Honestly… His martial arts skills are excellent, but I can’t predict how he will deal with so many demons without necromancy.]

[Do you think that too?]

Mu-hwi chuckled at Hyun-ryu’s words.

[Does the author look dangerous in your eyes?]

Battles continued inside and outside the fortress walls of Daejeon.

However, unlike inside the city where Namgung was alone, the situation outside was quite hopeful.

Two days after Jinwei and Erica’s troops were deployed, Roxanne, who had finished her night as a summoner in the red zone, joined the demon war, and the external battle was gradually tilting towards humans.

However, the problem was inside the fortress.

[If we look at the situation… nine times out of ten, we can say he is dangerous.]

[What about the other one?]

[The question is why he was left alone. I don’t think he became a bait simply to deal with external demons. The person I have seen so far is… not someone who fights recklessly and without preparation.]

[Yes. Thanks to you, you had a good time at the proxy auction.]

Hyun-ryu shrugged his shoulders at Mu-hwi’s words.

[But… I don’t know what preparations he made, but in the end, time is not on his side. That’s probably what Gyu-ryu is worried about.]

[Tell me.]

[Everyone is currently focused on the battlefield, distracted by the intense battle, but in reality, those demons are just pawns created by the 4th Gate. In the end, it’s the boss you have to hunt to close the door. In other words, he is the Demon King.]

Muhwi nodded.

[If you think of it the other way around, if the Demon King appears in a situation where just dealing with the Demons is difficult… Namgung doesn’t seem to have a chance to win.] [

You’re right. You are indeed monitoring the situation well. Surely… if we leave it like this, the tide will turn.]

[Thank you.]

[But.]

Hyun-ryu tilted his head at Mu-hwi’s last words.

[…Yes?]

[What if that’s what he’s aiming for too?]

[What do you mean…]

Muhwi smiled strangely.

[His body was ruined due to the battle with the Demon King, but the same goes for the Demon King who consumed magical power. What that means is that just as Namgung has become weaker, the Demon King has also become weaker.]

His eyes were full of anticipation.

[Surprisingly, there was a small text written on the titan heart he sent. He knew from the beginning that he couldn’t catch the Demon Lord.]

[…?!]

[Now is not the time to be bait. From the moment he first fought with the Demon King, he had already become bait for the fourth gate.]

Hyunryu felt as if he had been hit on the head by his words.

[On earth… Then who is going to catch the Demon Lord?]

* * *

The day before the fourth portal opens.

The train, which became noisy due to the appearance of the devil, arrived at Daejeon Station carrying Namgung and Changhwan.

“Wow… what is this? “This is the real Daejeon?”

Changhwan, who had been looking out the window as the train passed through the city, looked surprised and shouted as soon as he got off at the station.

“I heard rumors… but I didn’t know it would be this bad. “How many layers of wall was built?”

“There are three. “It’s not like there are so many that I can’t really count them.”

“…I’m just saying that.”

Changhwan scolded Namgung for his words and twitched his lips towards him.

“There are defense facilities all over the place… Thanks to the monster invasion, Jin Soo-hyuk’s abilities have also increased considerably. I guess this is worth using. And once the fourth is over, Daejeon will probably become much stronger.”

His fortification ability was ironic, but the more the city was attacked, the more it grew.

“You seem like a pervert.”

Namgung chuckled at Changhwan’s simple comment.

“No matter what, it is an undeniable fact that Daejeon is the best fortified city in Korea. Or maybe it’s the safest city in the world.”

“Now I can understand why you want to recruit that person. “The ability to strengthen the city… this is not simply at the individual level.”

Clap! Crash-!!

Cheeeeeek…!!

Automated barricades were operating not only in the city but also around the station.

“that’s right.”

When the tightly closed iron gate opened, Namgung walked out of the station and looked at the city.

“….”

The Demon King appeared before the fourth door opened.

Unlike previous wars where many monsters were summoned, there was only one monster.

However, ironically, the fact that Jin Soo-hyuk’s power of fortification, which had not been requested so far, was needed to deal with that one person was actually proof of how powerful the Demon King was.

“Nice to meet you.”

Namgung extended his hand towards a man standing in the square in front of the station.

“This is Jin Soo-hyuk.”

The man who lightly grabbed his hand spoke in a low voice.

Jin Soo-hyuk looked at Namgung with a pretty tired face, like a busy fortress, as if connected to him.

“This is the first time in my life. I can’t believe I was contacted directly by the Blue House. “I never experienced anything like this when I worked at the company, so to be treated like this now is unreasonable.”

“Life would be better without being treated like this.”

Namgung, who pretended to be normal but knew that the company he was talking about was the Armed Forces Intelligence Command, responded to Jin Soo-hyuk.

“I’ll be blunt. I have no intention of leaving Daejeon. Moreover, I have no intention of following the plan if it is yours.”

The power that can be felt subtly from the hands held together.

“It looks like the ugly fur is firmly stuck in it.”

However, Namgung maintained a calm expression despite his pressure and answered.

“Since you came with that person, you probably know very well that the reason I quit the company… or, to be more precise, was fired, was because of something related to you.”

“of course.”

“The sudden disbandment of Unit 711 during the operation was suspicious to anyone. But no one wanted to investigate it.”

Namgung smiled bitterly.

“It didn’t end there, but the company kicked me out for investigating the incident. With confidentiality terms. Well, that’s good. Because it’s a thing of the past anyway. “I was just going to bury it and live…”

Jin Soo-hyuk’s eyes turned cold.

“The person I was looking for reappeared and turned out to be the hero of the country’s salvation? “I don’t know what to make of this.”

“hey!! That thing…!!”

“Why was Unit 711 disbanded?”

“mister!!!!!”

It was then.

The cold atmosphere was broken by the voice of a child coming from the entrance of the square.

“mister!!!!”

The boy ran excitedly towards Namgung and was hugged by him.

“…Hosung? “You probably don’t know this.”

The little boy I rescued from the National Cemetery the other day had grown quite tall and looked healthy.

Namgung lightly stroked his hair.

‘Thank goodness. It looks like he kept what he said at the National Cemetery. Jin Soo-hyuk gave me this child.’

“What a colt… I would have asked you to go repair the eastern wall with Damho, right?”

“Oh, that’s already finished! I have it. I was about to take the subway when I saw him, so I came to say hello… “No, I never thought there would be Mr. Namgung!!”

Hoseong smiled and jumped up and down as if he was truly happy.

“…Let’s postpone that matter until later.”

Jin Soo-hyuk could not say anything more as he looked at Namgung holding Ho-seong in his arms.

-The death toll in London exceeds 1 million.

-Even if citizens within the city try to evacuate, no one can get out due to an unknown force!

-Military forces are surrounding London, but entry is as impossible as escape.

-Citizens are in extreme anxiety…

“Everyone is going to die.”

Namgung spoke to Jin Soo-hyuk at the fortress headquarters located in Daejeon Metropolitan City Hall, the center of the Daejeon fortress.

On TV, the number of deaths continued to increase.

100 people per second.

People were literally dying faster than they could breathe.

“No way. “All eight million Londoners?”

“no. Much more than that. “That’s almost 70 million people in the UK.”

“….”

Jin Soo-hyuk swallowed dryly at his words.

“That’s strange. There’s Alek Traman in England, right? Plus, the Universe Clan. There are many talented people in the UK. “Surely they are there?”

“They can’t stop it. The number of corpses only increases. The Demon King’s patience is not very long. “Right now, there are 100 people per second, but once London is over, the rate of increase in deaths will accelerate.”

Namgoong spread out his five fingers.

“5 days.”

Jin Soo-hyuk waited with an anxious face for the next words to come out of his mouth.

“This is how long it will take for England to be completely destroyed.”

“…crazy. That’s even more ridiculous than it is. “Are you saying you’re going to fight against such a monster now?”

“yes.”

“Why on earth?”

“It won’t stop in the UK. Who says that? “If you give England as a sacrifice, that bastard will go away obediently.”

“That’s right…”

“The borders established by humans have no meaning to them. “It will expand its territory little by little and eventually devour the entire continent.”

“What plan do you have in mind?”

“The good news is that the gates of hell have not opened yet. That means the Demon King hasn’t brought his army yet. “If we catch the devil first before the devils come into the world, we have a chance of victory.”

“I see what I have to do. “The idea is to create a place where you can fight the devil through fortification.”

Namgung nodded at his words.

“I’ll be honest with you.”

Jin Soo-hyuk let out a low breath.

“It’s impossible.”

“Isn’t that too much? “You’re so persistent when you push people around, but now people are dying and you’re trying to tell me I don’t know?”

Changhwan spoke sarcastically toward Jin Soo-hyuk, as if he still had resentment from the past.

“That’s not what I meant.”

However, unlike him, Jin Soo-hyuk answered in a calm voice.

“It takes a long time to select a city and refortify it. “Even if we fly to England now, it’s too late.”

“I’m not going to England.”

“…then?”

“I will lure him out. “The battlefield will be Korea, not England.”

“You seem convinced that Alek Traman will never be able to stop the Demon Lord. “Isn’t that pride, not confidence?”

Sssshhhh…!!!

It was then.

“…!!”

Jin Soo-hyuk slightly frowned as he looked at the soul soldiers surrounding him who appeared with smoke.

‘This is it… the ability he used during the third monster invasion. Certainly, each and every one of them has an energy that surpasses even those who are said to be the most talented people in Daejeon. Especially…’

He looked at As.

‘That soldier has much stronger spiritual pressure than the other three.’

“How is it. “It seems to you.”

“What do you mean?”

“As far as I know, the ability to fortify is not simply a concept of building a castle. “I heard that in addition to making weapons, you also have the power of ‘seeing’, which allows you to see the levels of various abilities.”

“How do you know that?”

“There is someone in Seoul with powers similar to yours. “He specializes in making tools, not weapons… but other than that, the rest of his essential powers are similar.”

Jin Soo-hyuk nodded, recalling the barrier that had been built on Gwangan Bridge.

“Honestly, it’s amazing. I’ve never seen anyone exude as much energy as you. Just…”

“Just?”

“It won’t be enough for the devil. Because the compatibility is not good. “He only showed physical ability, but his real power was the dome-shaped barrier surrounding London.”

Jin Soo-hyuk said.

“It is most likely an illusion world. In comparison, you use summoned beasts, but they are closer to the physical world.”

Surprisingly, Namgung had a calm expression on his face.

“Now you are telling the truth. According to what you said, you would have known from the beginning that only Alektra, who specializes in physics, would not be able to win.”

“….”

Jin Soo-hyuk’s face hardened.

“It may be true if you only look at the capabilities of one person, but there are many strong people in the UK that I have not been able to identify. If they all work together, the outcome might be different. But we are different. “You are the only one who can say that you have power.”

“Why are you the only one with power? With me…”

“Kang Ho-jun and Choi Myung-hoon?”

“what?”

“Or are you talking about the rich man who is Jeon Tae-ho and Jeon Kyeong-in? The people following Namgung have already figured it all out. “It’s ridiculous to call them all-powerful against the Demon King.”

Jin Soo-hyuk looked at Chang-hwan.

“Especially you.”

“What? “This person said he would take a look…”

“I think so too.”

“older brother…?!!”

“I won’t be able to win.”

Changhwan looked at Namgung as if he was dumbfounded, but he actually seemed to like Jin Soo-hyuk’s evaluation.

The Demon King is strong.

‘Because he’s a demon that I couldn’t catch in the end in my past life.’

Of course, the Demon King also became stronger as Namgung became stronger, so the gap could not be narrowed, but the starting line itself was different.

“If there is no one stronger than you in Korea, it is impossible to catch him. “In these circumstances, I want to turn this place into a battlefield with my own hands? That’s crazy.”

I could feel the coldness of life in Jin Soo-hyuk’s words.

“there is.”

But despite this, Namgoong’s expression did not change from start to finish.

“…who?”

Or rather, it seemed like she was waiting for his question.

* * *

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

Unlike the 4th portal, a small space filled with blue light appeared in the sky for a very short time and then disappeared.

“hurry!!!”

“There’s someone here!!”

“Move away the debris!”

However, in a place where rescue operations were in full swing, people did not seem to have the energy to pay attention to this small change. The sound

of

light footsteps walking on the remains of dozens of shattered houses was heard behind them.

Suddenly,

when my steps stopped,

in this place filled with acrid smoke that had not yet been extinguished and the bloody smell of corpses, surprisingly, a clear scent that could only be found in the forest wafted out.

“found.”

And a voice as clear as the scent was faintly heard.

It was Nam So-min.
