The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 19

Numbering 183

Name: Great Balantha’s Book

Grade: Rare (Highest)

▶ A revised version of the summoning book written by Balantha, who became a wise man, during his childhood.

▶ If you insert one material, you can obtain a higher level item of the same type.

▶ Item grades range from Magic to Epic.

▶ The result of summoning is one level higher than the grade of the material.

▶ After summoning, the summons form is incinerated.

“Wow…”

Myung-Hoon looked at the shiny summons in wonder.

“If you put in ingredients, a higher level item will come out… That’s totally awesome, isn’t it?”

“Brother, hurry up and try it!”

On the contrary, after seeing Namgung’s summons, Myeong-hoon and Gyeong-in became excited and talked in excited voices.

“But what should I put in it?”

“The best we have.”

“If it’s the best thing…”

Namgung said, holding up the beheading sword he was holding.

“Thanks to you. “There’s luck.”

“haha!! “I see.”

When Myung-Hoon saw the sword, he was happy as if it were his own work.

Thanks to the fact that he brought a weapon from the report, Namgung was also able to activate the summons with peace of mind.

“Then…”

Namgung placed the beheading sword on top of the golden summons.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Then the pages of the summons began to shake rapidly as if blowing in the wind.

▶ The great Balantha’s book eats up the ingredients.

▶ Check the grade of the material → Rare

▶ Sage’s Grace is activated.

Namgung looked at the summons with a nervous face. At that moment

,

Somin wrapped one of his hands in hers and grabbed him. Namgung relaxed a little and smiled slightly at his daughter’s warmth.

Grumbling…!!

Unlike before, the summoning scroll began to burn with red flames this time.

At the same time, Namgoong grabbed something from the flames. Then it disappeared in an instant, as if a flame had been sucked into it.

“Wow…”

Gyeongin let out an exclamation without realizing it, as if he was amazed at the sight.

“This is…”

Feeling the handle fit comfortably in his hand as if it had been custom-made just for him, Namgung slowly took it out while it was heated in the flame.

It was a sword.

Cheeeeeeeek…!!

When the red-hot sword came out of the flames, it touched the cold air and regained its original color.

“It’s heavy.”

Namgung said, looking at the sword that felt quite heavy in his hand.

The pitch-black body of the sword sparkled in the darkness like obsidian.

No numbering.

Name: Penitent Tanian’s Sword

Grade: Epic (Highest)

▶ A new sword made by Tanian the Executioner by melting down his own sword while repenting his life.

▶ The resentment was extinguished, but the blood soaked deeper into the blade and hardened.

▶ When blood touches the blade, it exerts special power.

“This… is something amazing?”

Even in the eyes of Myung-Hoon, who was using the sword, Namgung’s sword certainly looked unusual.

‘I didn’t know that beheading swords could be promoted in this way… No. Because the level of the beheading sword was rare, it could not grow any further. Was a completely new item created due to the summoning scroll?’

Whatever it was, being able to obtain an epic weapon at this point was truly a stroke of luck.

Even with the help of the Phase, rare items would be best at best.

“They say that when blood touches the blade, it exerts special power…”

Namgung muttered in a curious voice and lightly slashed the back of his hand with the sword.

Sigh-!

Wooooow…!!

The sharp blade smoothly cut the back of his hand, and the moment his blood touched it, the inky blade slowly began to turn purple.

▶ The sword swallows the blood of the messenger.

▶ Spiritual energy is present on the blade of the sword.

▶ You can absorb the spirits of hunted monsters with a certain probability.

As the sharp purple aura surrounded the sword, the sword took on a sharp and powerful look.

Buung –

When Namgung lightly slashed his sword in the air, the sound of the empty space alone gave people an eerie feeling.

“Do you want to try it?”

Namgung handed the sword to Myung-Hoon, who looked at him with curious eyes.

Broke…!!

At that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his hand, as if the sword was rejecting him.

Changgrang-!!!

The sword fell from Myeonghun’s hand and bounced on the floor.

“Haha this… I think only you can use it.”

Feeling numb, he smiled awkwardly.

“It’s not a sword with an ego, but… since it’s an epic grade, it seems like it chooses its owner.”

“Fortunately, the. “My brother uses necromancy, but I was worried because he didn’t have a proper weapon.”

“You chose the weapon because of me.”

“Oh no. The beheading sword is really a bit heavy for me to handle. “I thought my wrist was going to explode.”

“okay.”

Namgung smiled slightly at Myung-hoon’s answer.

* * *

“Dad… Our house…”

After returning from the dungeon, they went to Namgung’s house. But what greeted them was nothing but collapsed rubble.

“are you okay.”

Namgoong spoke quietly as he caught Somin, who was about to run away.

“Hmph… But….”

“Because you’re safe. “Then that’s it.”

He comforted his crying daughter and spoke again. You may think it was just a simple consolation, but to Namgung, those words were more sincere than anything else.

When he managed to return home in his past life when the first gate of hell opened, what he should have seen was the delicate hand under the collapsed rubble.

‘The future has changed.’

It was enough for his daughter to be by his side right now.

And not only that, Myung-Hoon and Gyeong-In could also be together.

“This way.”

Namgung went back to the back of the collapsed house. There was a door to a small basement. The iron door

was

old, as if it hadn’t been used for a long time, but the stairs leading inside were clean and looked like they had been cleaned.

“Wow… When did you prepare for a place like this?”

When I went down to the basement, I found a clean and tidy space.

Sigh-

Namgung took out a small crystal from his pocket.

When the crystal was twisted up and down, light began to flow from inside the crystal along with a clicking sound.

▶ Would you like to build Goblin Cave Lv1?

With the notification, the position of his vision changed, and the basement appeared as if he was looking at a drawing.

Wooooow….

Namgung pushed the crystal into the middle of the basement.

▶ Goblin Cave Lv1’s core works.

Kugggggggg….

With a light tremor, the outer wall of the basement instantly turned into an earthen wall, and crude wooden fences appeared to support the wall.

“This is…”

People could not hide their surprised expressions as the fluorescent lights hanging from the ceiling disappeared, leaving a hollow space with only an old candle holder lying around.

▶ The Goblin Cave has been completed.

▶ The cave can be expanded upon promotion.

“Expanding the cave would also be work.”

When the notification disappeared, Namgung started taking out the items in the locker one by one.

“The city is still maintained, so we won’t use it right away.”

As he took out canned food and various preserved foods and piled them aside, Gyeongin looked at him in surprise.

“I don’t know how long we can maintain the city against the monsters of Hell Gate… but if I’m right, it won’t take that long.”

“But the military hasn’t moved yet… Looking at Alec’s press conference, aren’t there more people with special powers like you?”

Myung-Hoon looked at him with an anxious face.

“If we all work together….”

“But we can’t stop it. Eventually civilization will be destroyed. “These are in preparation for that time.”

Gulp –

At his answer without the slightest hesitation, Myung-Hoon swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

“There are limits to what modern firearms can prevent. At most, it would be a monster from the third gate of hell. “The army will soon be neutralized and you will eventually have to survive on your own.”

“The third time… how long is left?”

“well. I don’t know that either. “Maybe it will come sooner than we think.”

In response to Gyeongin’s question, Namgung shook his head.

‘According to my memories from my past life, it will take quite some time until the third gate of hell opens.’

However, because the first door closed quickly, it was unknown how and when the doors behind it would open.

“So… what should we do from now on?”

“You probably know because of the memory implantation. The most important thing in this world is the head that can buy things, and that comes when you hunt monsters.”

“yes. “When the gates of hell open, monsters come out.”

“Brother, you captured the world boss and closed the door, so no more monsters will come out.”

“Hmm… If you think about it that way, closing the door quickly isn’t necessarily a good thing? “You have to catch the monster and collect its head.”

“What do you mean? “People are dying one after another because of the monsters pouring out of the door.”

“That’s right, but…”

At Myung-hoon’s words, Gyeong-in scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.

“It’s not wrong. Because in order to get the head, you have to catch the monster. But leaving the door open doesn’t mean you can keep getting heads.”

“What does that mean?”

“The number of monsters given heads is fixed. Even if you hunt the monsters that appear after that, they won’t give you a head. “What if I can’t close the door when the set number is over?”

“Monsters will continue to appear….”

“The damage and victims will continue to increase without any income.”

“yes.”

“How could that…”

Gyeong-in and So-min turned pale at Namgung’s words and looked at each other.

“Because this isn’t even in the implanted memories. But you won’t be wrong.”

“You have to close the door to survive, but do you have to leave the door open to get a head?”

“It seems like I’m going to die one way or another….”

“Damn it…!! Why on earth…!!”

Namgung lightly tapped Myeong-hoon, who was getting nervous, on the shoulder.

“You will find out someday. But it’s just a game for them.”

He looked around.

“Even in this damn world, if this is a game, there are rules. “The fact that the number of monsters that give heads is set means that that many monsters must die.”

Then he continued talking.

“When the moon sets and dawn dawns, the remaining monsters will be summoned at the same time.”

“Dad… So you’re saying that monsters come out even when the door is closed? “It really seems like they’re trying to kill people somehow.”

Somin, who was listening to their story, had tears in her eyes due to the rising anger.

“okay. But it’s better than leaving the door open. No, on the contrary, it is something for which we are thankful.”

“…huh?”

“Only monsters that give the correct head will be summoned.”

Namgung waved his hand to tell the group to follow him.

“So this is not a pointless fight. “For some, it may be a moment of despair, but for others, it may be an opportunity for hope.”

He took a step.

“That opportunity has come to us.”

Somin

held Namgoong’s hand and nodded, giving strength.

“So never lose sight of the hope that is coming.”

Myung-Hoon and Gyeong-In followed him.

“Wipe it all away.”
