Chapter 157
Episode 157
– Look over there! A large island currently crossing the North Pacific has been identified.
Sigh…!
As the reporter on the helicopter said, an island slowly moving across the sea appeared on the screen.
-The size of the island is similar to that of New Zealand. But what’s surprising is that this island isn’t just a place to move, it’s the boss monster of the 6th door.
[Fuuuuu–!!!]
Water gushes out from the front of the island, and a huge turtle’s head appears inside it.
As its face, covered in scales as hard as armor, bent like a bow and let out a roar, the surrounding waves shook violently.
-The name of the monster is Giant Demon. It is the largest monster that has appeared so far. Currently, the US Navy’s 7th Fleet under the Pacific Fleet is following behind, maintaining a distance.
The Aegis cruisers around the rock turtle looked like toys.
-Currently, the destination of the monster’s movement is unknown, and if this direction continues, experts predict that the Philippines, India, and Taiwan will fall within the monster’s range.
-With defense forces from each country deployed, there is a cloud of war in the air due to anxiety that there may be a large-scale invasion by monsters like the 3rd Gate.
-It is said that the talented members of the Universe Clan, along with Alek Traman, are currently launching a raid to deal with the Giant Demon.
-Is this really… the return of a British hero? It is undeniable that Alek Traman’s performance has fallen compared to other revelations in recent years, but experts believe that this will probably be a big turning point.
[There is no need to worry about the giant devil. Because that guy won’t go to the city. Can you see those volcanoes attached to the shell? Those are all active volcanoes that are still active. It means it has tremendous heat.]
Latea said, looking at the reporter’s report on TV with curiosity.
[But no matter how hard the shell is, it is still painful. It will instinctively seek out cold places to cool off.]
“You mean it’s heading towards the North Pole.”
[maybe. So this is the terrain of your world right now? If the giant devil heads upward like this… it would be more appropriate to deploy troops here.]
She pointed to a group of small islands leading from Alaska on the unfolded map.
“It’s the Pribilov Islands.”
Namgung said while looking at the islands lined up in a curved group like a crescent moon.
[It would be good to attract giant devils, and since the islands are gathered together, it would be easy to deploy troops.]
“As expected… I am an expert, but I don’t know what they call themselves experts. “There are real experts here.”
Michael grinned while looking at Lathea.
[It’s nice to be flattered, but don’t expect him to introduce you to the Tur clan. Because becoming friends with them is something you have to do yourself.]
Michael licked his lips in disappointment at her knife-like answer.
The Tur clan, one of the three clans at the Dark Dragon’s Gate, was stationed in the Ice Palace.
“ha ha ha. Sure. “I know it very well.”
Michael laughed awkwardly at Latea’s words.
After the tower’s door opened and he used his leaping technique to wander around the Little Dragon’s Gate, he seemed to have first gone to Bingungungji, which even Namgung had not been to yet.
And there he found something that caught his eye.
It was the Tur clan’s Noble Phantasm [Wing Wind].
[Those shoes are definitely an interesting item, but… I don’t understand why you, who have the ability to leap through space, are greedy.]
Lathea shook her head, remembering the Noble Phantasm that Michael had his eye on. .
“Hey, I’m just curious.”
Since Michael had not shown much interest in equipment until now, Namgung was curious about the effectiveness of the shoes.
Of course, he could have used the power of his leap to go directly to the ice palace, but Namgung decided to wait a little.
‘I don’t know why he’s so anxious… but it’s quite fun to watch him get so anxious.’
Once the Thunder family, the remaining clan at the Sub-Dragon’s Gate, along with the Tur clan, were gathered together, Namgung planned to hunt the remaining sub-dragons.
‘To deal with the giant devil, it would be better to collect all the gems and complete the bracelet.’
Numbering 748089
Name: Primordial Hydraulic Bracelet
Grade: Rare (Highest)
▶ A bracelet upgraded to one level by combining the ichthyosaur jewel with the heart of an ancient basilisk.
▶ It is imbued with the timeless power of the sub-dragon, allowing it to draw out a higher level of power.
▶ The properties of the bracelet may change depending on the grade of the remaining gems.
The name of the bracelet, previously [Ichthyosaur Jewelry], was changed by hunting the basilisk.
Above all, Namgung paid attention to the modifier ‘pristine’ in front of the name of the bracelet.
‘You probably can’t get it by simply hunting the subdragons summoned at the carnival.’
Namgung was curious about how the bracelet would change when he hunted the remaining subdragons in the tower.
‘Of course, if you base your memories from your past life on it, you don’t necessarily need to complete the bracelet to catch the Giant Demon.’
In his previous life, Choi Myung-hoon hunted monsters even though he could not complete the bracelet.
However, what Namgung was aiming for was not simply hunting the giant devil.
‘Three active volcanoes on its shell.’
It was to obtain the artifact sleeping within it.
‘To enter the lava lake inside an active volcano, simply water or ice is not enough.’
Ice will melt instantly and water will evaporate before it even touches you.
So what is the method?
‘It must be a rock hard enough not to melt even in the heat.’
For that, what was needed was the [Petrification Jewel], which could be obtained by hunting Wyverns.
Of course, the power of the jewel alone was not enough.
Even if you cover your whole body with a rock, the pain of the heat penetrating through it will still be the same.
Therefore, he needed to hunt down all the remaining subdragons.
“Anyway, what do you plan to do with the holy relic? “I saved up as much as I could… Wouldn’t it be a shame not to summon the temple?”
Park Hyo-joo asked.
“The reason the Aspects opened the tower was to use me to destroy the tower or to use my clan to kill me. “I was aiming for one of the two.”
Because both of them were a nuisance to them.
However, contrary to expectations, Namgung opened the tower’s gate through a deal with Ran.
It is no exaggeration to say that the two dimensions are connected, and the ones that are perplexing now are the phases.
‘It’s not just a matter of us becoming stronger.’
What was important to them was the carnival strategy.
The mere presence of the returnee Namgung was an uncomfortable situation, but now there are countless people who know the monster’s strategy.
‘Of course, the Yoran clan has only experienced up to the 20th Gate, so my memories will help us attack more Hell Gates, but…’
Not having to struggle alone until the 20th Gate opens gave Namgung a psychological boost. made it free.
“The Aspects will try to descend in order to somehow influence this world. And since we have the sacred relic, which is the only means…”
Namgung said in a low voice.
“They will try to make a deal with another reward. All we have to do is eat up the compensation they offer.”
Park Hyo-joo did not doubt his words.
“We have to attack the lava lake before Myeonghun hunts the giant devil, so we need to hurry and catch the remaining subdragons.”
“Can I help?”
“Hunting subdragons? it’s okay.”
Namgung chuckled at her question.
“One day is enough.”
* * *
“older brother.”
Namgung, who left the tower late at night, was wearing a silver bracelet that had never been seen before.
When he turned around with a roaring sound, Myung-Hoon was there waiting for him.
“Female Union President. I enjoyed the broadcast. “The screen quality is pretty good, isn’t it?”
“…don’t make fun of me. Even to me, it was unsightly to see him behaving in front of the podium. “Hojun was teasing me so much.”
Myung-Hoon scratched his head at Namgung’s words.
“This is all something I had no choice but to do because my brother forced me to do it… There are so many revelers out there, but I don’t know if someone like me can really get people’s attention.”
While Namgung hunted the subdragons, Myung-hun announced a press conference about the creation of Nest as he had prepared.
When Myung-Hoon heard from him about Nest’s union leader, he of course refused.
And as expected, the moment the press conference began, the reporters’ public opinion of Myung-hoon was not very positive.
But something unexpected happened.
This is because Erica’s appearance at the press conference instantly turned the controversy over.
The fact that she, who did not show her face at public events, made the move herself was enough to become an issue.
Perhaps what made her move was the great influence of Katsumata, who saw Myeong-Hoon’s skills in person.
“You will do well. “Because you just don’t know your own worth yet.”
“…Is that so?”
Namgung lightly tapped Myeonghun’s shoulder.
“If you don’t know your own value, others won’t know your value either.”
he said
“Geodamgwi. You catch it.”
“yes?”
“It means to become the protagonist of the 6th door. Make sure to instill it in people. “I mean, what a tough guy you are.”
Tap –
Namgung rolled his hand away from patting his shoulder and punched him in the chest.
“How can I catch him when he broke the Star Sea Sword? In fact, I don’t even have the decency to look at Alek Traman. “According to the original, the position of president of the union was also his.”
It was a light bump, but it was difficult for Myung-Hoon to bear the weight.
“Do you think you stole Alec’s sword and seat?”
Namgung asked Myunghun.
“Did you hear? Alec. “Myeong-hoon said he’s sorry because he felt like he stole something from you.”
“There is no need to be sorry. “The reason the sword is broken is because it no longer receives the grace of the Aspect.”
“…!!”
Myung-Hoon quickly turned his head.
“And that means a new sword has appeared that receives the grace of the Aspect. “If there is a sword, then of course there must be a new sword owner, right?”
“Alec…?”
Myung-Hoon couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw him smiling vaguely.
“I heard that you organized an attack party to hunt the giant demon. Why are you here?”
“There was a call from Erica. “If we form a raid party like this and attack the Giant Demon, we will lose all of our clan members.”
Myung-Hoon was unable to respond to his shocking words.
“It became ugly. “Her precognitive abilities aren’t all correct, but… she seems to have become a coward after London.”
“I guess it’s not that I’m a coward, but that I’ve learned the weight of life.”
Alec smiled bitterly at Namgoong’s answer.
“So, I’m thinking of getting my clan members to join the Nest. “The official announcement will probably come tomorrow.”
“…Is that really true?”
“Try to raise it well. “Still, they are the ones we chose with great effort.”
He might have felt regretful, but his expression looked rather relaxed.
“So there’s no need to feel guilty.”
“Did you hear? Choi Myung-hoon. You’re not there yet. Alec is stronger than you. “If you want to at least worry about others, shouldn’t you go higher first?”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
In the end, Myung-Hoon also accepted Namgung’s reprimand in a good mood, just like Alec’s relieved expression.
“Anyway, I don’t have a sword that I can use… Should I buy it from the proxy clan first?”
Alec looked at Myung-Hoon.
“By any chance, don’t even think about taking out that Yasha clan weapon you used before. “I managed to correct it, but it’s absolutely unacceptable to disturb your posture with a weapon that doesn’t fit.”
To his warning, Myung-Hoon nodded without hesitation.
“You just have to get the sword.”
At that moment, Namgoong spoke to the two people.
“Even if I can’t make you the best sword in the world, I can make you the strongest sword.”
The attack on Geoamgwi (巨巖龜) begins.
