The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 30

“…Puh-ha!!”

Kazumata slid down the Serpent’s esophagus and exhaled from a stomach filled with acrid gas that stung his nose.

Piing–

He stumbled involuntarily due to a headache that felt like it was hitting his head.

“…?!!”

At that moment, Namgung roughly took off his mask.

Before he could say anything, his face was revealed and he looked at Namgoong with an urgent expression.

“Whoop?!”

But instead of answering, Namgoong stuffed something into his mouth.

“Swallow. Protects from the serpent’s gastric juices and gases. “No matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to survive even 5 minutes with your bare body.”

Gulp –

While listening to Namgung’s words, Katsumata managed to shove something so large that it hurt his throat into his mouth.

“Whoa…”

He exhaled and involuntarily retched at the pleasant smell that remained in his esophagus.

“That one costs 3,000 head. It’s expensive. “If you spit it out, it will kill me before it melts in your stomach.”

“…Could you please tell me in advance?”

He touched his numb neck and spoke to Namgung with an expression of resentment.

“But you’re younger than I thought. “How old are you?”

Katsumata, who belatedly realized that the mask was gone, quickly looked around, but the mask was already soaked in gastric juice and half-melted, so he could not put it back on.

“…I’m twenty-seven. Are you asking this knowingly? “When you were talking to Erica, didn’t you say that she had made a comeback or something?”

“Do you believe that?”

“…yes?”

“Do you really think I’m from the future?”

On the contrary, when Namgung asked in surprise, Katsumata looked at him with a confused expression.

“…don’t make fun of me.”

Katsumata stood up and said.

“This is my first time seeing your face. Because the head of Biwol, called the true sword of Erika Ninagawa, was a being shrouded in more mystery than her. “Honestly, I thought he was much older.”

The Katsumata that Namgung remembers was a much sharper and more organized person.

On the contrary, his current face, which still had a youthful feel to it, was enough to surprise him.

“Can I ask you something?”

Pause –

Namgung’s steps hesitated for a moment at Katsumata’s words.

“What?”

“Honestly, I don’t really believe that you have regressed. But… did I survive longer than Erica?”

“If you don’t believe it, why are you asking?”

Namgung chuckled as if he was surprised by his unexpected question.

“It’s done. … It was just a question as a subordinate. “Just tell me what needs to be done.”

“Nothing much. If you look at the stomach wall over there, you will see a place that looks like a slight hole. That’s the root where the poisonous plant grows. “You just have to cut it from the inside.”

As Namgung said, there was a small hole in the Serpent’s stomach.

“….”

Katsumata looked at it and nodded.

Sigh…!

Then he took out a small shuriken from his chest and threw it in all directions. A thin string was wrapped around the end of the shuriken, and as the shurikens embedded here and there were pulled taut, a spider web-like ceiling was created above the two people’s heads.

widely-! Crack-!!

He jumped up the stomach wall and landed on the rope.

“Ninbeop (忍法)… I thought it was an old-fashioned relic, but in this world, it’s more useful than anything else.”

Tuk-

“…?”

Namgung threw the sword he was holding at him.

“what?”

“Even from the inside, it would take a long time to pierce the skin with the weapon you have. “Take that and cut it out.”

“Is it okay to give away one’s own weapon like this? “What if I rob you of your weapon?”

“I’ll have to see if I can use it first.”

“What a great sword…”

Pazzu…!!

The moment Katsumata grabbed the sword, he couldn’t help but be surprised by the repulsion force.

“What?…”

He, who had a confident expression on his face, looked at him in confusion.

“It is a sword that hides its owner. Don’t try to control the sword. It’s not about gaining the upper hand, it’s about asking the sword for a favor. “If you are the head of Biwol, I will lend you a little bit of strength even if you are not recognized.”

“….”

Katsukata grabbed his sword again with a nervous look on his face at his words.

Crackling… Chicking….

The hand holding the handle felt numb, but compared to the first time, it was still worth holding.

‘Myeong-Hoon is also a guy with a good knowledge of the sword… but he’s definitely different from Biwol.’

Namgung looked at him and thought.

“But then, what are you going to do while pampering others like this?”

“After all, the difficult work has to be done by the elders. “Who knew there was such a child behind the mask?”

“What a child….”

“Give me the dagger.”

“…yes?”

“What we’re dealing with is a world boss. “It means that he is the most powerful monster that can come out of the gates of hell that opened this time.”

Rumbling… Rumbling…

At that moment, Serpent’s stomach began to churn.

[Chung…! Chwi-chwi-ik…!!]

[Chwi-ik-ik…!!]

A strange sound began to be heard from inside the stomach.

Monsters swimming towards the two with their large heads raised above the lake-like gastric fluid.

“What is that?”

Katsumata frowned at the strange-looking figures.

They were fish heads with arms and legs attached but no bodies, and they were holding crude spears that appeared to be made of bone.

[Chung! Chwiik…!! [Quick!!]

As if they couldn’t use human language, they opened and closed their gills repeatedly, having an incomprehensible conversation.

“They are vacationers. These are monsters that live in the serpent’s stomach. Katsumata. “Hurry up and go up.”

[Yikes! Kyakyaek!!]

The summer men who saw Namgung started running towards him all at once.

Buuuuung…!

Chaang!

The tip of the spear they were holding had turned black. Every time their spears cut through the air, acrid smoke was billowing out, as if burning even the air it touched.

“hurry!!”

At Namgung’s shout, Katsutama threw his ivory dagger at him and started climbing the stomach wall.

‘They say it’s because of the situation, but… why am I listening to that person’s orders?’

There was no consultation or request.

Namgung’s behavior as if the superior-subordinate relationship was decided from the beginning, and even his own way of accepting it.

Even though he was also the head of a faction, this behavior was very natural.

“damn!!”

He cursed and pulled out Namgung’s sword.

Ssssssssssssssss—!!

He held his breath deeply as he felt the sharpness of the sword and began to draw the sword.

Suddenly-!!

I made this on my own–!!

Every time the sword sliced through the stomach wall, thick pieces of flesh began to fall off.

[Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!!]

The serpent began to scream and tremble as if in pain, and every time he struggled, the gastric juice in his stomach overflowed like a wave.

Binggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!

Namgung ran toward the summer men, spinning the dagger he had received from Katsutama in his palm.

Boom…! Kwaang…!!

Namgung dodged the Fisherman’s attack and stabbed the dagger into the guy’s gills.

Phew~!!

[Ke kekek…!!]

When the sword entered between his ribs, he pulled the sword diagonally with all his might.

Damn…! Yikes!!!

The hard scales were caught by the dagger and tore off, causing red flesh and blood to gush out.

Quang–!!!

Namgung picked up the fallen scale and threw it with all his might like a boomerang.

Kwasik! puck!!

The scales flew vertically and got stuck on the top of their heads. The guys hesitated for a moment, but they seemed to have strong skulls and continued to charge with scales stuck on their heads.

“Whoop…!!”

But even just a moment of hesitation was enough.

Namgung picked up the spear held by the fisherman he killed and threw it away like a javelin.

Pakak…!!

This time, the monster with the spear stuck in it seemed to be unable to withstand it, falling backwards and trembling.

“Whoop…!!”

puck! puck!! Puff!!!

Namgung held his breath and glided, dodging the fisherman’s spear and thrusting his dagger dozens of times into his side from below.

“Well…”

Katsumata, who was climbing the upper wall, couldn’t help but be amazed as he watched Namgung’s battle.

‘Just touching the window is fatal.’

Reduce unnecessary movements while narrowly avoiding the monster’s spear with a margin of just a piece of paper.

It was truly a hunt that was close to the limit.

‘You can’t fight like that unless you sacrifice your life. ‘Does that person have no fear?’

Even if it was a special forces unit that had undergone special training, such a fight seemed impossible.

‘What kind of life have you lived?…’

Katsumata thought that he wouldn’t be able to fight like that.

“What are you doing! Katsumata!!!”

“Oh yes! Sorry for my sin…!!”

At Namgung’s shout, he hurriedly stepped on the rope attached to the stomach wall and began swinging his sword.

Boom—!!

If his subordinates found out that he had said he was sorry, they would be shocked, but that was probably a good thing.

This was something I knew because I had the skills.

Namgoong is a person who lives in a realm that he could not even imagine.

Suddenly! Suddenly-!! Sigh—!!

Every time Katsumata’s sword moved, pieces of flesh in his stomach were cut off.

“this…!!”

However, the monster’s thick stomach wall showed no signs of ending.

“Is it possible to get through it?!!”

How much time has passed?

He was hacking like crazy, his breathing was already impaired and his heart felt like it was going to explode.

However, when I saw the corpses of the monsters piling up around Namgung below, I couldn’t bring myself to say anything like complaining.

“of course.”

Namgung stabbed the dagger into the fisherman’s head and said while grabbing his thick head.

“If you knock, it will be opened to you.”

“What kind of carefree talk…!”

Kwahia Ah — !!!

It was then.

“…?!”

The moment Katsumata’s sword pierced the stomach wall, a violent explosion suddenly erupted.

“Did you see it?”

At the same time, Namgung slashed the sword he had inserted into the fisherman’s head horizontally and spoke to him.

* * *

Above Wonhyo Bridge.

The bridge, which would normally have been crowded with vehicles, was empty, and on the railing of the bridge stood a small girl who did not fit in with the wide road.

“Whoa.”

Pure white steam rose from the exhaled breath, as if he had swallowed lava.

“It doesn’t make sense… It’s legendary quality… Even among the Revelators of this stature, there are probably very few people with that level of quality…”

And Gyu-ryu, who was standing next to her, muttered in bewilderment as he looked at the magic she had used a little while ago.

Magic power itself was a rare quality, but the growth potential of that quality was legendary, so much so that even if you searched the entire world, you might come across just one person.

‘No, this is not a question of qualifications.’

Even though he was seeing that one person in front of him, there was a separate part of him that was astonished.

‘Thought magic…’

That was a very special magic that was possible when two different magics were fused.

It was like having two different objects in one body, so in fact, it was close to an impossible force.

An unknown territory that exists only in theory.

It was a power that no one, no matter how outstanding their qualifications, could obtain.

‘I can’t believe I got to see that in person.’

The water of the Han River turned red due to the red lightning struck by Somin.

‘I never thought Namgung’s daughter would have these qualities… Even if he signed a contract with me, no one has signed a contract with that child yet.’

He felt like hitting his head for complaining to Namgung, who had called him here again when he should have been in Euljiro.

‘Besides, he’s not a revealer of status… The remaining proxy clan will be in an uproar. ‘I understand why Namgung called me.’

[Cugggggggg….]

‘Once this hunt is over, that child will be known to everyone. The rest of the proxy clan will be drooling.’

Gyu-ryu thought as he watched the serpent floating on the surface of the Han River let out a tired breath as if it had lost its strength.

‘Should I try playing around with the calculator?’

Even though Gyu-ryu tried to hold back, it was difficult to hide the corner of his mouth that kept smirking.
