The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 22

“Wow… this guy. “Isn’t it amazing?”

The moment she heard Namgung’s words, the woman’s attitude suddenly changed as if it had never happened before.

“I thought it was quite ingenious. no way. That doesn’t help. Those humans. “Why are you guys fighting among yourself?”

“….”

She took out a small medicine container filled with powder from the bag she was carrying and sprinkled it on the wound on her back.

‘300 heads of low-level golden spear medicine.’

It wasn’t a particularly expensive item, so it was a price he could afford now that he had received the head, but Namgoong remembered that he had broken her needle.

“I don’t think I’ve caught enough goblins to buy healing potions with you. “Did you get the item by tricking the old vagabonds over there?”

In response to Namgung’s question, the woman just twitched her lips.

“Or…”

Namgung asked once again in response to her reaction.

“Is there another party?”

“There is no such thing as company. And those old people probably don’t know how to change heads? “Well, I’m the one who made the plan.”

She said, rubbing her fingers.

“They gave me cash instead of heads. To be honest, I don’t think I need any of those pieces of paper anymore. “Isn’t that right?”

Strangely, the voice of the woman speaking to Namgung seemed excited.

“I’m actually really interested in this world. Doesn’t it feel like something out of a novel? Apocalypse… this definitely won’t end like this. Right.”

“Is this fun?”

“Then isn’t it fun?”

“That would be really nice.”

Namgung looked at her coldly.

“Just answer the question.”

“…I just got it from some lucky police officers who were dying.”

The woman answered with a nonchalant expression.

“You got it from dying police officers… How?”

“How…”

“You say this world is fun? But if you keep biting your tail, it won’t be fun.”

Transfer and murder.

The question was which of two ways to get a head from a person.

“ha. I didn’t specifically kill it. Because we were just riding in the police car together. But then all of a sudden these four months happened.”

The woman answered, messing up her hair nervously.

“Monsters rained down from the sky, and the police officers in the car fought and died… The moment they touched the police officers’ bodies to find the handcuff keys, the head came in.”

She shrugged.

“He’s dead.”

“I guess he killed it.”

“It doesn’t really matter, right? No, thinking about it makes me angry? So should I die in vain in that situation? The country has to survive too. Even though that damn bastard is dying, he doesn’t give up the key until the end. “Can I ask you something?”

She frowned at Namgung.

Poop-!!!

It was then.

Namgoong hit her lying down on the stomach with all his might.

“…Ouch!!”

Spit mixed with blood flowed from her mouth.

“Does it matter?”

“Tsk…!!”

Namgung said as he grabbed her collar as she fell to the floor.

“Then were you planning on paralyzing me with needles and asking me to give you the head?”

“That’s…”

“I think it’s now my side that it doesn’t matter if I kill you right here.”

At that moment, the woman’s eyes trembled.

“dad!!”

It was then.

Somin and her group, who had separated at the crossroads, were running toward Namgung as if they had spotted him.

“….”

Namgung frowned slightly.

“name.”

At that moment, he let go of the woman’s collar that he was holding and said.

“…yes?”

Namgung glanced at them and then turned his head.

“Chae Chae-song….”

Namgung took out her wallet from the bag she was carrying and checked her name again with the driver’s license inside.

Fortunately, the name didn’t seem to be a lie.

“I remembered it.”

Crackling-

“…Aaaaaaaah!!!”

Then Namgung broke her leg without hesitation.

* * *

‘…No matter how I think about it, I should have killed him.’

Namgung, who came back from the park, slightly turned his head and looked back, feeling uneasy as if he had strangely left behind Huhwan.

‘I broke my leg, so it won’t be an obstacle right now… but I don’t like it.’

If it were him in his past life, he wouldn’t have handled things this way.

Because killing people in Apocalypse wasn’t because of grudges.

Therefore, just pointing a sword at him was reason enough to kill him.

“Namgoong. “If you really complete the quest and go back to the past, then don’t kill people so easily.”

“But there is no need to keep the enemy alive.”

Not long before the 15th year since the gates of hell opened.

One of the few survivors left in Seoul.

Jeren and Clark, who had been Namgoong’s colleagues for quite some time, had talked to him while eating the monster’s meat inside the broken building at Gangnam Station.

“That’s true, but the past is different. If we forget that human life is precious, we fall into madness. “Like now.”

“You’re not really hoping for love from Namgung right now, are you? Look at that. “There’s a demon’s head piled up next to him.”

Clark smiled bitterly at Zeren’s words.

“I just… just thought it would be a good idea to give it at least one chance.”

“That’s a relaxing thought.”

“okay. It’s a relaxing thought. But 15 years ago, everyone would have thought that way. “Murder cannot be justified, regardless of the reason.”

Clark looked at the campfire and spoke in a low voice.

“So, if possible, don’t make enemies when you go back. “Even if you survive alone, that’s not living.”

“But what if you save him and end up dying later? On the contrary, the guy who saved my life by killing me could put a knife to my throat. “It’s a world like that.”

Namgung responded as if he disapproved of his words.

“okay. Things like that happen, too. So I said it. It’s a relaxing thought. Well… how about this? “If you really go back, you will give him just one chance, the first time you have to kill him.”

“Why should I do such useless things?”

“It’s my wish. “I wanted to show at least once to those who wish for a hell where humans bite and tear each other… Namgung, the Godslayer, may kill gods brutally, but he is not a murderer.”

Clark smiled blandly at Namgung.

“That sounds really laid-back.”

How long will it be?

Hearing Clark’s nonsense, Namgung put a faint smile on his face for the first time in a long time.

Poop—!!!!

But at that moment.

There was a sharp flash of light and his head, where he had been sitting and talking a moment ago, disappeared.

‘…!!!’

Jeren and Namgung escaped the scene like bullets.

bang! bang! Kwaaaaang–!!!

Raining thunderbolts.

Clark’s body, whose head was blown off by dozens of lightning bolts as if in a bombing raid, disappeared without a trace.

‘Who are you…!!!’

Zeren shouted, pulling out his sword.

[It’s you guys. Those damn people who killed my brother.]

A man standing on top of a collapsed building.

He had black wings wrapped around his body like a cloak.

‘Demons…’

[Just like you did to my brothers… I too will take revenge by cutting off your heads…!!]

With his gloomy voice, his black wings spread wide.

Then, as if there had been a solar eclipse, the moon floating in the sky was hidden by his wings and could not be seen.

“Don’t make enemies…”

Namgung muttered Clark’s last words in a slightly bitter voice.

“I can’t believe such a trivial wish ended up becoming a will. To hear such a relaxed sound in this damned world makes my head fly. Clark.”

“I…”

Gyeongin couldn’t get the words out of his mouth with a slightly stiff expression on his face, as if he was thinking about it.

‘…But I’m also a laid-back guy who couldn’t break his word.’

Although Clark, who said those words, must be alive now, Namgung strangely kept thinking about what he said in his past life.

‘But that’s it.’

It was not out of charity, as Clark had hoped.

It’s just closer to breaking the shackles of my past life.

“Shh.”

Namgung felt Gyeongin’s gaze and gave him a look as if telling her not to say anything.

As the archer’s qualities awakened, Gyeong-in’s eyesight probably improved compared to others.

Looking at his expression, I think he saw himself breaking Chae Song-ah’s leg.

“….”

He nodded as if he understood.

“What about goblins?”

“yes. As my brother said, I cornered them as much as I could and caught them. However, because there are limits to walking… I wasn’t able to catch that many.”

“How many?”

“I guess there are about 50 of them, right?”

“There are 59 of them.”

Gyeong-in says the exact number, but Myung-hoon looks surprised.

“The rune stone did not come out.”

Namgung nodded at his words.

“It’s a decent achievement. Although goblins are the lowest level monsters, getting more than 50 heads is not big when the first hell gate has just opened.”

“But I still feel a bit disappointed. I think it would be good to hunt a little more…”

“My job is to find where the monster is.”

“It’s not like there’s no way.”

“…yes?”

At that moment, Namgoong took out his cell phone.

“Because there is the Internet.”

-Monsters suddenly appear all over the city!!

-Currently, a large group of goblins has been captured in the Jongno area. The size is estimated to be around 1,000.

“1…1,000?”

Gyeongin’s face turned pale at the breaking news he heard.

“Jongno-myeon is not far from Sinchon… will that be okay?”

-This is breaking news that it has currently appeared in Seoul, Suwon, Gwangju, Gangneung, and Busan.

-The Ministry of National Defense dispatches each unit urgently. All operational power is being deployed to deal with the current situation….

“What should we do? mister.”

He looked at Namgoong with anxious eyes.

“I feel anxious anyway. mister. I have to go this time. Don’t stop me. “If you don’t want to go, I will go alone this time.”

“I won’t stop you. We are going this time too. Kyung-in. “You should go to Sinchon with Somin.”

“What about Dad?”

“I’m going to Jongno.”

“no. Didn’t you just hear the news? I heard a horde of goblins came out. It’s too dangerous! Otherwise, I’ll go too!!”

“are you okay. “Dad, I’m not going to fight them.”

Namgung stroked his daughter’s head and spoke in a low voice.

“…huh?”

“Military forces have probably been deployed by now. “There are still enough of them to stop us.”

“then?”

“The fight to protect is the soldiers’ job. “It’s not your job.”

At that moment, young Somin could feel that Namgoong’s eyes had changed.

“You can never beat them just by blocking.”

Those are the eyes of a hunter aiming for his prey.

“We have to fight to take it away.”

* * *

Doo-dah-do—!!

Dududududududu—!!!

The gun’s flame began to glow in the dark like a street lamp.

[Wow…! Kyaakak…!!!]

“Where on earth did they come crawling out again!! Damn monsters!! “The strange door floating in the sky was closed!!”

“How do I know!! “Hurry up and shoot!!”

Soldiers at the barricade began firing repeatedly at the hordes of goblins pouring in through the underpass of Gwanghwamun Square.

“…there are too many!!”

“The first line of defense has already collapsed. The second round is also at stake!! Captain!!”

The soldiers of the guard battalion shouted while covered in the blood of monsters.

The police vehicles that formed the first line of defense in the square had long since been crumpled and overturned.

Bodies visible in between.

It couldn’t help but be reminiscent of war.

“Battalion Commander. Monsters are coming out through the underpass. “The entrance must be blocked.”

-Does that mean we should blow up the entrance now?

“yes. “That is the only way.”

-There might still be people in there.

“What is that…!!”

The company commander said, swallowing the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

“Look over there.”

Hearing his superior’s words, the company commander looked dejected and pointed to the underpass where goblins were pouring out.

“The monsters are pouring out so much that the entrance space is no longer visible. “You’re a survivor in a place like that!!”

-What kind of pig is that?!

– Refrain from speaking!

The company commander gasped at the response of the commanders inside the third defense line heard through the radio! I ground my teeth.

“…You heard the news. It is said that the number is estimated to be over 1,000 based on heat detection. Moreover, it is said that the monsters that appeared in the Sangam, Ilsan, and Gangnam areas have now disappeared.”

He let out a breath and said.

“They are gathering this way. If you add up the numbers, it will be well over 5,000. “We can never stop it.”

Quang-!! Quagga River–!!

Dudududududududu…!!

Even now, the sounds of explosions and bullets were piercing my eardrums.

“We have to block the entrance and somehow disperse them from coming out.”

-What a fool! Wouldn’t it be better for us to come together in one place?

-you’re right. Help will arrive soon. Captain Kang Ho-jun. It may be hard, but just hold on a little longer.

“but…!!”

Even now, Captain Kang cannot hide his devastation at the screams of dying soldiers.

-…Can’t you see the drones floating in the sky over there?

“yes?”

-I don’t like this damn situation either. I erased the mark, but those are definitely the broadcasting station’s drones.

“What is that…”

-The reason the entrance was destroyed was to disperse the monsters? What do you think reporters will say when they find out?

-They will start up an uproar by claiming that the military put the city in danger, starting with the fact that they didn’t even look for survivors who weren’t there.

“but…!!”

-Public opinion is also important. If the monsters disperse through the subway lines, it will be even more troublesome.

“…So you’re saying you’re going to use our kids as bait now?”

-It’s not a bait, isn’t that a soldier’s duty? You said support would arrive soon. Hold on just a little longer!

Kwaak- Kang Ho-

jun wanted to throw away the walkie-talkie he was holding after hearing his superior’s words.

“Hojun.”

It was then.

He hurriedly turned around when he heard a voice as the barracks door opened.

“Stop!! “This is a civilian control area…”

A familiar face can be seen among the soldiers trying to stop him.

“…Myunghoon hyung?”

He looked at the man holding the sword and looked surprised.

“I heard you were assigned to Seoul after the unit was disbanded, so you’re really messing around here?”

“Why is Brother Yeong here? Aren’t you in Daejeon?”

“There is only one reason for me to come to Seoul.”

Kwahia Ahhh– !!!

At that moment, a sharp roar came from the underground walkway.

“…?!!”

The entrance to the underground passage, which had been mercilessly rejected by the upper part, was blown up and collapsed.

Kang Ho-jun had a dazed expression at the unbelievable sight.

“The captain is back.”

But that one word was enough of an answer.
