The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 113

Shhhh…!!!

As they entered the dungeon, a cold chill hit their entire bodies.

▶ I entered Seolgwisan Mountain.

▶ Body temperature is dropping rapidly.

▶ If you are unable to maintain your body temperature above a certain level, your vitality will continue to decrease.

▶ Movement is restricted.

▶ All reaction speeds are reduced to 1/2 of normal.

▶ Magic (chanting) is excluded.

“Ugh…?!”

“My body is heavy…”

Gyeong-in and Seong-woo could not hide their embarrassment as they felt their legs becoming stiff with a pure white snowstorm that could not be seen an inch in front of them.

Grumbling…!!!

But at that moment, small fireballs appeared around them.

“Be careful not to tear the winter clothing you are wearing. “The moment the cold enters, your body temperature drops rapidly, not only your reaction speed but also your stamina.”

As the flames of Den Haul increased in heat, only then were people able to move naturally.

“There are monsters around.”

“Limited to groups of two. “I will assist Den.”

The five members maintained a neat formation as if they had coordinated in advance.

“Shield deployment!!”

The man standing in front placed his hands on the floor and shouted. Then, a light green curtain surrounded the group.

‘The color of the barrier is a bit darker than that of the Goblin Lord’s bracelet. ‘Is it about level 4?’

After the red zone was revealed, it was clear that people’s weapons had also improved.

“I don’t know what kind of monster is coming, so I’ll move slowly.”

“Even if you are a revelator, please follow our instructions.”

A tone of voice that seems a bit provocative.

Somehow, his pride seemed to have been hurt by the friction that occurred before entering the dungeon.

“older brother. That mark. “Now that I see it, it appears to be a new power team created by Pentacon.”

Changhwan whispered quietly.

As he said, the five members had identical eagle marks on their chests.

“As convenient as it is.” “Because they are the ones who have to conquer the dungeon.”

“then.”

When Namgoong gave his consent, the man deploying the shield extended his finger forward and made a forward gesture.

“…for a moment!!”

It was then.

The moment he was about to move forward, Gyeongin urgently shouted.

puck-!!!!

The arrow that flew through the shield accurately pierced the head of the member standing in the lead.

Pazzu that is…·!!

The shield surrounding it shattered in an instant.

dump!

The cold chill that had stopped for a moment hit them again, and the crew member, whose head had been pierced, fell to the floor, bleeding profusely.

The accumulated snow turned red, but the falling snowstorm quickly covered his body as if it had never happened before.

“excuse me.”

Changhwan pointed in one direction.

Crackling –

Even before the others could read the trajectory of the arrows, Gyeong-in was already reflexively protesting at Chang-hwan’s words.

Pfft!!!!

The arrow, which flew at high speed, seemed to be sucked into a gap in the rocks on a hill in the distance.

[…Kek!!]

A loud scream that sounded like the sound of metal was heard.

“There’s one more.”

“Take cover.”

“yes.”

With the monster’s scream, Changhwan flew out and Gyeongin drew his bow.

“…!!”

The four remaining members could not say anything at the sudden incident and just looked on.

Sigh!!!

An arrow flew over Changhwan’s head.

He skillfully bent his back to avoid it and moved forward.

[Yikes! [Kyaaruk!!!]

With a strange cry, a monster was seen pulling a crude bow from inside the rock.

Abnormally long arms and legs.

The monster with thick ivory-like molars protruding downwards and thick eyebrows was wearing clothes made of tree branches that covered only its main parts, as if it could not feel the extreme cold.

‘Ice Troll.’

Namgung frowned slightly after confirming the identity of the monster in the dungeon.

‘I guess I chose a place where there are annoying people.’

[Kyaak! [Kya!!]

The moment they saw Namgung, the trolls who were shooting arrows hurriedly started to run away, shouting something.

Tsk.

This is why he considered trolls a nuisance.

Unlike monsters, these guys are clever.

Rather than simply being wild beasts charging towards their prey, these guys knew how to measure the distance.

“come out.”

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!!

When Namgung’s order was given, spirit soldiers were summoned from behind the fleeing trolls.

[Keeeeek!!!]

Spirit soldiers came out from the shadows and stabbed their swords into their backs.

Kagang…!!

But at that moment, the blue troll’s skin changed to green. The troll’s skin, which turned into hard snake scales, repelled the soul soldiers’ swords.

[Karruk…!!!]

The trolls scattered, twitching their large teeth as if laughing.

No, I tried to disperse.

Wow-!!

Namgung pulled out his sword and nervously stabbed it into the back of the head of the troll who was trying to run away.

[KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

!

“….”

The moment the sticky blood touched the [Kimyeong Sword], the blood on it began to bubble and boil.

▶ The demons of the sword want blood.

▶ The sword’s prowess becomes even sharper.

The sword began to tremble as if urging Namgung.

He grabbed his sword and turned to catch the remaining troll that had run away.

Damn…! Damn it…·!!

But then sharp ice thorns erupted from beneath the troll’s feet.

[…Keck!!]

The troll with thorns on its ankles fell forward with a strange scream.

puck! puck!! Puff puff!!!

And then ice thorns came out and covered the guy’s whole body.

“Damn it…Nelson was defeated in an instant!”

“I can’t believe I met these guys right from the beginning.”

Only after both trolls were killed were the crew able to find their dead comrade’s body.

“Would it be okay. “Those people.”

“….”

Changhwan asked Namgung while watching them collect the body. Because Namgung could guess the meaning of the question, he remained silent instead of answering.

“You better go back.”

“yes? “What do you mean by that?”

“They should know better about that. “This is not a dungeon you can handle.”

“It was due to an unexpected attack a little while ago. “This will never happen again.”

“Why are you so stubborn? “Can we say that you are much better than that corpse?”

“that…!!”

“It looks like you’re crazy about wanting to die.”

Namgung shook his head at their words and sighed as if he didn’t really want to get into trouble.

“They are all highly trained and specialized in combat.”

“You sound like training. What are these guys here who react slower than Gopiri? “If it wasn’t for him, you would all have gone to the goal.”

When Den helped the crew talk, Changhwan actually snorted as if he was dumbfounded.

“what?”

“I’m not worried about your lives. “It’s because I don’t want to hold you back and put you in danger that you don’t have to go through.”

“That bastard…!”

“stop.”

When one of the members exposed his teeth and glared at Chang-hwan’s provocation, a person who appeared to be a senior blocked the member and looked at Den.

“If it comes out like this, we’ll be in trouble too. “I understand that you need help from the government, don’t you?”

“….”

Den’s face stiffened for a moment at his words.

“Trust me. Namgoong. Until recently, I was just a lecturer at a university. “I’m still lacking in hunting skills, but their basics are different.”

“Are you serious?”

“…yes?”

“A revelator is worse than an ordinary person? “You’re making a fool of the person who elected you.”

Den Howl kept his mouth shut at Namgung’s cold answer.

“Inciting them is no different from you telling them to just die here.”

Namgung looked at him for a moment and then passed by.

“I don’t know why you’re trying to take them by force. A guy who goes on a rampage without knowing what he’s doing, or a guy who, even though he has abilities, acts like a dog on a leash…”

His steps as he passed by stopped.

“Because I don’t want to see either of you. “The person you don’t want to see should leave first.”

“hey!! No matter how much we know, we came here with official permission from the government… Ugh!!!”

Daewon, who had been agitated by Changhwan’s provocation a little while ago, shouted at Namgung.

“There’s a lot of talk. “It’s a waste of time.”

But at that moment, the spirit soldiers crushed him.

“Ugh….”

The head buried in the cold snow could no longer express any complaints.

‘I remember. In my past life, the person who was here instead of me was Alec Traman.’

After the attack on Mt. Seolgwisan, Alec Traman received a stigma.

100 murderers.

‘At the time, I couldn’t take my time and conquer dungeons like this. A joint team composed of the most elite talents attacked Seolgwisan Mountain.’

But the results were disastrous.

Only three people survived.

And one of them testified that it was Alek Traman who drove them to their deaths.

Of course Elec denied it, but Den remained silent about his claims.

‘Of course, people were confused… but it was true that Alec’s reputation had changed.’

Of course, that couldn’t ruin Alec’s position. But there is no doubt that it created an opportunity.

The lives of those capable of clearing dungeons were more valuable than anything else at the time.

“….”

Namgung looked at the crew.

“Den Haul. Think carefully about where the stick you are holding should be pointed. “Whether what you want to do is voluntarily or unwillingly, if the staff is pointed at me,”

Namgung stood up and gently stepped on Daewon’s head, which he was holding down.

“Because it will be the same as this.”

“…Where are you going?”

“there.”

Namgung pointed to a place where there was a huge ice wall.

“If there are ice trolls, this is likely Shalum’s territory.”

“Shalum…?”

“An ancient troll. “Among the ice trolls, it is an ancient monster that has survived until now because of its slow aging due to the cold climate.”

There was a large lake at the top of the huge snow mountain behind the ice wall he pointed to.

“There’s a guy over there. “Once we catch him, it’s over.”

Namgung said to Den.

“how is it? It’s not a very difficult plan, but it’s the most reliable method. If you have any thoughts, follow me.”

“…Den!! Don’t be fooled! “To freeze such a large lake, all your magical energy will be depleted!!”

“Don’t forget your upcoming plans. We….”

Kwaaang-!!

It was then.

Den, who had been silent, closed his eyes tightly and waved his cane.

Then a sharp wind rose, and the snow piled up under their feet flew up and scattered in all directions.

“…I will follow Namgung. Completing the dungeon comes first.”

“Are you crazy?”

“What is that now…!!”

Despite the shouts of the crew, Den turned his head as if he could no longer hear.

bang! bang! bang! bang-!!!!

And chunks of ice fell on their heads.

“Please go back. “This is not a request, but a warning.”

The crew members around the mess stood there as if they were at a loss for words and just watched them disappear with blank expressions.

“…How much do you know?”

“What do you know? “I don’t know anything.”

Den followed behind Namgung and looked at him with a low sigh.

“It’s just a guess. “The goal is not to conquer the dungeon, and at least you didn’t plan this.”

“Why?”

“It seems like this was done to target me… In that case, he must not really know me.”

Namgung looked at Den.

“You know. “What kind of person am I?”

“….”

“And after listening to what they say, I can guess who planned this incident.”

“Who are you?”

The voice actor asked quietly.

“Guys sitting at their desks and talking.”

Den sighed again as people looked at him.

“Oh no way. “The White House is not stupid… No matter how much they wanted to take the lead, would they have tried to attack you when they clearly saw the mistakes Britain made?”

Gyeongin shook his head as if he couldn’t believe what he said.

“And even if they tried to catch you… with such a poor number of people? “I wouldn’t know if it were the other way around.”

“then! This is ridiculous. “If that wizard hadn’t stopped me, the captain would have died by my hands first without even having to step forward.”

Changhwan agreed with Gyeongin’s words and raised his voice.

“…That’s it.”

“what?”

“That was a prestigious quest. “It’s not about catching Namgoong or conquering the dungeon with him.”

“What do you mean?”

At that moment, everyone was silent at Den’s words.

“All the crew members die because of Revelator Namgung.”

“what? “So you’re saying they’re a suicide squad?”

At those words, Changhwan grabbed Den by the collar and shouted.

“crazy…! “What you’re saying is that a bastard named God ordered you to commit murder!!”

“The reason is?”

“older brother!”

However, unlike him who was yelling evil, Namgoong burst out laughing at Den’s words.

Only the goal was different, but in the end, Sang Sang’s plan was no different from his previous life.

If you anticipate it, you can prepare for it.

“…I do not know. However, Sang Sang said that a signal flare was needed.”

“Signal flare?”

Although he looked puzzled by Den’s words, Namgung could tell what they meant.

‘Wishang hit the player first. It looks like they tried to choose me as a sacrifice for the pantheon.’

The struggle that begins when the holy relic appears will eventually become a fight in which people kill each other.

However, no matter how much the sacred object was desired, it was difficult to move it easily.

In the meantime, making it easier for people to move is justifiable.

[You entered the dungeon on your own and blamed me for my death? Have you already forgotten about saving hundreds of thousands of people? That’s not even funny.]

Nameless, who was listening to the story, clicked his tongue as if he was dumbfounded.

‘okay. It makes no sense in common sense. But they can make that emergency possible.’

Namgung answered Mu-myeong with his thoughts.

‘Because what they do best is play with human emotions.’

Grind

his teeth.

“Even if it’s your rank… why did you participate in this reckless act?”

“No matter how much the government ordered, someone like you would do something unfair…”

“What is a person like me? “I’m just one of those people trying to frame Namgoong.”

Den smiled bitterly at Gyeongin and Seongwoo’s words.

“I thought there was something going on. “But I just asked you to follow me because it’s a force that will help you conquer the dungeon.”

Namgung cut off their conversation in an atmosphere that could have become somewhat cold.

“That hasn’t changed even now.”

Anyway, the person who attacked Seolgwi Mountain in his past life was Den Howl.

Even though Namgung heard that there was a plan targeting him, he walked again as if it was no big deal.

“….”

Den walked silently behind him.

“…You don’t remember me. “My grandmother.”

And how much time has passed?

Den, who was walking down the street in silence, spoke in a low voice as if confessing.

“Dementia cannot be cured even with elixir.”

He bowed his head.

“Wait a minute… uncle. “Did I hear it wrong?”

“Anyway, you put other people’s lives on the line to treat your grandmother’s dementia?”

“Isn’t this crazy?”

Three people shouted at him.

“sorry. I went crazy for a moment. It’s just… I thought that Namgoong would be able to get over it even if he suffered such a stigma. “Because you are a strong person.”

“Kangin? That’s funny. “The U.S. government was trying to frame you by sending a suicide squad.”

“If that wasn’t enough, you wanted to take over the quest.”

“You are no different from them. “Because even though I knew it was wrong, I tolerated it.”

“…you’re right.”

His voice trembled.

But Changhwan’s arm, which was holding him by the collar, trembled even more with anger.

“Because you are strong… I deceived myself with my greed.”

“this…!!!!”

“it’s okay.”

However, unlike them who were upset, Namgung’s reaction was surprisingly calm.

“I knew that the number of elixirs had decreased. I was curious. “Who would have bought it at this point?”

“….”

“The other Revelators were busy strengthening themselves with the heads they got every time they cleared the door, but strangely, I understand why you didn’t make any progress.”

Namgoong placed his hand on Den’s shoulder.

“Who said that? “The elixir may seem like a great elixir, but in the end, it’s not a panacea.”

Namgung looked at Den.

“There are more things you can’t do than you think. “Even if you treat with elixir, you cannot turn back the time that has already passed in your body and you cannot make the hidden memories clear.”

Kwaak-

“…Kkk.”

As he tightened the hand holding his shoulder, Den’s face contorted in pain.

“I understand how you feel. If Jomo, your only blood relative, doesn’t have much time left… you can be shaken up enough. Healing an illness would be easy for the Aspects. but.”

There was something they were better at than that.

‘Playing with human emotions.’

Even the Revelator was no exception.

Even if you use it just for entertainment, they won’t regret it.

“It’s entirely possible, but…”

Namgoong said.

“Even if you come to your senses, I don’t know if you’ll be happy to see you now.”

“…I was a lecturer at a university. I’m not a trained soldier like you!! Government dog? How about that! “I can protect my family… my only blood relative.”

Den shouted as if he was aggrieved.

“Then do it.”

“yes?”

“Do it. If clearing Jomo’s mind by clearing the quest given by her status is what you want, then do it. “But why are you telling me everything from start to finish like a child who is telling me off?”

“That…”

Namgung looked at Den’s embarrassed face.

“Because you know it’s wrong, too.”

He let go of the hand holding her shoulder with a cold look in his eyes.

“Still, there is no such thing as consolation. It’s not that I’m unshakable because I was trained and was a soldier. Even if that’s not the case, I know someone who has a stronger heart to protect their family.”

Namgung thought of his wife.

“You… you don’t know because your daughter is healthy. And doesn’t he have genius qualities? “I have a daughter who was chosen as a revealer and has magical powers, and is even greater than me… so there’s nothing to worry about!”

At his shout, Namgung laughed without even realizing it.

“I don’t know?”

flinch –

Den instinctively took a step back when he saw Namgoong’s eyes looking at him.

“Look at the world straight ahead. Countless people lost their families and their homes and lives were completely taken away. But your life is unreasonable?”

Namgung spoke in a voice as sharp as a forged blade.

“Do not be ridiculous. It was a disease that couldn’t be cured in the first place. “Now that we can fix it, we’re being greedy.”

“That’s…”

“If you’re so unfair, don’t tell me, go and argue with your goddamn superior.”

“…There’s no way that could be possible. For humans to oppose God.”

“Why can’t you do it?”

His voice rang out in the blowing snowstorm.

“That’s what I came back for.”
