The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 9

[Karruk…!! [Kekkeek!!!]

The Goblin Lord’s scream echoed through the Memorial Square. The shield protecting the guy shattered into pieces, and at the same time, Myung-Hoon’s sword got stuck in the guy’s neck.

Kaduk…! Lots of cards…!

The sound of bone grinding against the blade was heard.

‘Even though it’s a sleeping spirit wearing rare grade armor, you couldn’t kill it with one hit? Indeed… even if it is the first Hell Gate, the World Boss is worthy of its name.’

Namgung said as he watched Myung-hun thrusting his sword.

Just like the grades of weapons, monsters also had grades, and in the case of goblins, they were the lowest grade, normal grade monsters.

In fact, the Goblin Lord, the most powerful monster at the moment, is also a Magic level monster, one level higher than the normal one.

Looking at the 25 years he lived, the Goblin Lord was not a powerful monster.

However, unlike at that time when he was armed with numerous weapons and tools, now he is in a situation where there is literally nothing.

‘If we only look at hunting, the situation may be more extreme now than when I cut off the heads of all the demons.’

Except for Ba Museong, the rest of the people neither acquired skills nor possessed weapons.

Since I was literally dealing with a monster with my bare body, it was like hitting a rock with an egg.

[Yikes! Kyaagagagak!!]

The Goblin Lord screamed as he struggled to push down the sword stuck in his neck with the staff he was holding.

Grumbling…!!

Then, red fireballs appeared behind the guy’s back.

“…I can’t.”

When Namgung saw that, he licked his lips and put his hand in his purse.

Shuuk-!!!

As his arm moved in an arc, something shiny flew through the air.

Wow!! Cheeeeeek…!!!!

At that moment, the object Namgung threw hit the forehead of the Goblin Lord who was confronting Myung-Hoon.

It was a throwing sword with a silver blade.

No numbering

Name: Demon Hunter’s Silver Blade

Grade: Magic (best)

▶ This is a throwing sword with a well-forged blade.

▶ It has weak durability and breaks after one use.

▶ It has fatal effects when broken.

▶ Price: 1000 head

Kagang…!!

The moment the sword hit the goblin’s head, the throwing sword shattered and splintered like glass breaking.

[Knock!!!]

As the fragments hit the guy’s face, the flames that were being cast were dissipated along with a painful scream.

“now!!!”

“Huh…!!”

At Namgung’s shout, Myung-hoon thrust the beheading sword into the Goblin Lord’s neck with all his might.

Wood-dud-duk-!! Damn…!!!

The moment the sword passed through the cervical vertebrae and hit the ground, Rod’s neck, which had been cut off with his eyes wide open, boomed! and fell.

“Haa haa….”

Myung-hun took a deep breath, holding the sword with his trembling arm.

Kugggggggggg….

At that moment, surprisingly, the hell gate floating in the sky began to slowly disappear.

As if they were summoned by the Goblin Lord, the remaining Goblin Warriors disappeared like smoke when the Lord died.

“…It’s a success.”

▶ The Goblin Lord has been defeated!

▶ Rewards (basic) will be awarded to all participants within a 150m radius.

▶ Rewards (participation) will be awarded to all participants within a 50m radius.

▶ However, for participants who have had a direct influence, compensation (participation) will be awarded regardless of distance.

▶ A reward (success) will be awarded to the participant who delivers the final blow to the monster.

▶ Goblin Lord’s loot (1 piece) will be awarded. The loot can be acquired by one of the reward recipients.

The moment the Goblin Lord’s head fell to the ground, Namgung saw a white light and a flood of notifications fill his eyes.

It was a success notification that only appeared when the world boss was defeated.

Unlike other common monsters, it was virtually impossible to defeat powerful world bosses alone.

So, it was standard to hunt world bosses through a party hunt called a type of raid.

Therefore, World Boss rewards are divided based on distance.

Some may think that this condition is a consideration in a dire situation.

The world boss was truly the most powerful monster on that stage.

A situation where even a moment’s mistake could cost your life.

In the meantime, even if you do not participate in the hunt, you can still get the minimum basic reward as long as you are within the distance requirements.

‘But this is just a shallow trick of the Aspects.’

The distance of 100m radius felt quite safe at first, but in fact, after a few more hell gates opened, that distance was no longer safe at all.

It was not uncommon for an area with a radius of hundreds of meters to be blown up by a single skill used by the boss.

‘Rather, more people died while being greedy to obtain basic rewards than participating in the hunt.’

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was literally a bait to kill more people.

“Shall we open it?”

Myung-Hoon looked curiously at the reward box that appeared in front of him and asked Namgung.

“What’s inside? “There’s nothing strange in it, right?”

“Probably not.”

Myung-Hoon seemed a little excited about Namgung’s answer.

“….”

In fact, he was also curious about the Goblin Lord’s reward.

In the early days, most of the world bosses were hunted by Palmuseong, so ordinary people could not even see them, so there was almost no information about them.

“yes. All right.”

In front of Myeonghun were one wooden box, one iron box, and one silver box.

Unlike Myeong-hun, who delivered the final blow, Namgung had wooden and iron boxes, but no silver boxes.

“Then I guess this is the Goblin Lord’s loot box. “Shall we open these two first?”

“yes. All right.”

▶ Goblin Lord’s decoration (normal) has been acquired.

▶ It can be exchanged for a head from the proxy clan.

▶ Transactions between reward recipients are possible.

▶ 1000 heads

▶ Obtained Goblin Lord’s favorite item (normal).

▶ It can be exchanged for a head from the proxy clan.

▶ Transactions between reward recipients are possible.

▶

What came out of the 10000 head basic and participation box was not a special weapon.

‘Still, it’s 10,000 heads. ‘Maybe it’s because it’s a world boss, but considering it’s the first, it’s a huge amount.’

It was more than enough to cover the cost of materials purchased from Gyu-ryu in order to hunt Rod.

In addition, being able to trade was quite a useful feature, but in fact, it was just a means to steal other people’s belongings even after the hunt was over.

‘So some clans deliberately lined up the weak in the scope of compensation.’

In this way, the basic rewards obtained are robbed.

You might say it’s nonsense, but unfortunately, morals and conscience are the first emotions to disappear in the apocalypse that will soon cover the world.

‘Me too…’

He who deals with the dead is ultimately a person who uses other people’s lives.

In my past life where I lost my daughter, I was able to use any means and methods.

However, now that she has returned to protect her daughter, her attitude toward the weight of her life is bound to be different. At that moment

,

Namgung was shaken out of his thoughts by the sound of Myung-hoon opening the box.

▶ Goblin Lord’s Bracelet (Magic) has been acquired.

▶ Transactions between reward recipients are possible.

Numbering 448090.

Name: Goblin Lord’s Bracelet

Grade: Magic (best)

▶ It is a crude bracelet, but it contains the Lord’s magic.

▶ You can use level 5 shield magic.

▶ Limit: 5 times a day

“Brother, your bracelet has arrived.”

After opening the silver box, Myung-Hoon held up an old bracelet and said to Namgung.

“Would you like?”

“no. You wrote it. Do you remember? The barrier that blocked your attack earlier. It’s a bracelet that can be used for that. Something good came out. “It would be perfect for you who fight in close combat.”

Namgung nodded as if he was quite satisfied with the items in the reward box.

“Quickly wear it before it gets taken away.”

“Hey brother. “There’s someone here.”

Myung-Hoon chuckled at Namgung’s words.

puck-!!

It was then.

Namgoong broke his arm and took the bracelet away.

“why? “I can take it away.”

“Brother tongue?!”

“I cannot live with such loose thoughts. From now on, always be suspicious and vigilant. “Even if it’s me.”

“…sorry.”

He let go of Myung-Hoon’s arm, which he had broken.

“Only in this way can I protect my people. Many people will follow you in the future. It won’t be easy… but you will stand in front of them.”

“Don’t say that. My brother is here, so how can I…”

Namgung said as he handed the bracelet to Myung-hoon, who was scratching his head.

“And even if I die… I want you to protect Somin. “For that to happen, you have to become stronger.”

“Brother….”

Namgung lightly tapped Myeonghun’s shoulder with an answer in his eyes. Then he looked at his daughter, who was still sleeping even after the battle was over.

‘I came back to protect Somin, but…’

I couldn’t keep letting her sleep like this.

He knew that now was the time for his daughter to face this hellish world.

“….”

But when Namgung thought about having to go through this hell with a child, his heart became heavy.

‘Simply protecting it has its limits.’

Namgoong did not forget that this was the biggest task he had to solve.

Snap

open the lid of the black box.

Ssssssssssssssss—!!

At that moment, a blinding light poured out of the box.

▶ Goblin Lord’s heart (rare) has been confirmed.

Numbering 893.

Name: Goblin Lord’s Heart

Grade: Rare (Highest)

▶ A heart containing the Goblin Lord’s magic.

▶ When consumed, you can manipulate magical power.

▶ For those with magical power, the amount of magical power increases when consumed.

▶ Abilities: In the case of magical power, qualification conditions are required.

“…This is where it came from.”

Namgung took out a red gem from the box.

It’s called a heart, but fortunately it looks like a small bead and doesn’t look unpleasant.

Ugh….

There was something like a small spark inside the jewel.

‘Magic power is not something you can easily obtain just because you want to learn it.’

A quality that one is born with.

Including magical power, natural techniques such as spirit affinity, mental techniques such as precognition, telekinesis, etc….

In this world, there are special abilities, so-called alien abilities, that can be obtained through those qualities.

‘Well, there are items that improve qualities, but they are not very effective if used by someone who does not have the natural qualities.’

It would have been better to use a tool that had a similar effect, like Myung-Hoon’s bracelet.

That was why Namgung smiled bitterly when Myung-hoon asked if he, too, could learn the Goblin Lord’s magic.

‘This guy is excellent at swordsmanship, but he’s completely poor at magic.’

And it was the same for me too.

‘It’s not like it can open magical eyes, but it has the effect of increasing magical power… When the next gates of hell open, an exchange will be created.’

Namgung thought that in the current situation, there were only two people who would buy Jewel.

‘Roxanne, chosen by the widow of Thorn Vine, and Den Howl, the revealer of the Wanderer of the Four Seasons.’

Roxanne was someone who had the ability of a druid to use transformation magic, and Den Howl was literally someone who was taking the path of a wizard.

Among the eight warriors, those two were the ones who could control magical power.

‘If we put competition in it, we could sell it quite expensively.’

It was unfortunate that the reward was not a weapon he could use, but it was worth it, so he tried to put it in the squadron.

It was then.

▶ Would you like to check the qualified candidates?

▶ Transactions between reward recipients are possible.

‘…Recommended target? ‘Has there been anything like this?’

Namgoong slightly tilted his head at the phrase he was seeing for the first time.

‘Well… I’ve been hunting alone all this time.’

It goes without saying, but in the situation where he was hunting, there was only one participant, so there was no way he would be able to find the target.

“Hmm… that’s a strange thing.”

Namgung didn’t expect much because he already knew Myung-hun and his own qualities, but he nodded out of curiosity.

Ssssssssssssssss–!!

At the same time, light filled the area and disappeared as if scanning the surroundings.

“…?!”

▶ Confirmation of suitable candidates.

▶ Check the growth potential of the horsepower factor.

▶ Recommended target: Nam So-min

▶ Magic power growth potential: Legendary level (first)

▶ Would you like to transfer the right to acquire the Goblin Lord’s Heart to the target person, Nam So-min?

“…what?”

At that moment, Namgung couldn’t believe his eyes.
