Chapter 159
Episode 159
“New Revelators… Okay, that aside, why are they here?”
“Why… Of course you want to hunt monsters?”
Clark asked Namgung back with an expression that asked why he was asking such a question.
“I received a quest. I don’t know if you know, but… it’s a quest written on parchment with a red seal. “They say it’s legendary.”
Jeren interrupted Clark and answered Namgung.
“The door opened immediately after I was selected as a Revelator, so I haven’t had any interaction with other Revelators yet. So, I don’t yet understand how important the quest is, but…”
He took out the parchment he had and showed it to Namgung.
“It was to hunt the fire giraffe in the giant rock.”
“uh? what. I don’t have anything like that? “Why are you the only one receiving quests?”
The person who received the quest was Zeren, and Clark said as he looked at his parchment.
“…So I said let’s catch it together. I told you this when I contacted you, but you didn’t even listen properly, right? Anyway, this guy…”
Zeren said, tapping his side.
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
The two people who were talking lowered their heads in unison, perhaps feeling Namgung’s gaze.
“no.”
Namgung smiled bitterly at the sight of the two people being self-conscious, unlike when they were colleagues in their previous life.
Anyway, the feelings at that time were his own, so they were just memories, and there was no need to miss that relationship now, but…
what can I say.
I couldn’t hide the regret in my heart.
‘It seems like the guide in the fog has moved.’
If you are a guide in the fog, which is the status of Erika Ninagawa, who has the ability to foresee, you may have been able to get a glimpse of yourself before your return.
‘I thought Erica still had a friendly relationship with me… but the Aspects may not have the same thoughts.’
The other statuses could not look favorably on Namgung’s threat in the Shadow Corridor.
In any case, in a situation where the revelers had to compete with each other, Namgung was bound to be an obstacle to the statuses.
“….”
And the fact that such a relationship was also related to the people in front of him made it difficult for him to calm down, unlike before.
‘A quest given to Zeren. Breeze’s mother must have guessed that I would come here and made a move in advance.’
When she opened the Tower of Wu, she probably hoped that Lan would kill her more than anyone else.
However, since the tower and the world were connected, it was clear that she had done the best she could.
‘It would be suicidal for someone who has just become a revelation to catch a fire giraffe. But if I catch him, Zeren’s quest will fail.’
Legendary level quests have huge rewards that can change the landscape of the carnival.
‘It looks like Breeze’s mother plans to torment me until the end.’
Namgung remembered her disgusting face that he had seen in the shadow corridor.
‘Ran (亂) and Woo (无). I now know that I need the power of those two to kill the Aspect.’
The question is, which of them can truly kill Sangha?
Ran (亂), who is said to be the phase of the beginning, and Wu (无), who twisted the era of the beginning.
Both are great beings, but they are clearly different.
But ironically, the two completely different people were both currently sealed by the Aspects.
why?
‘Even so for Wu, it’s honestly a bit strange that Ran was imprisoned by his superiors.’
Namgung thought that finding the truth hidden within them was the way to put an end to this terrible festival in this life, or perhaps in the future.
“I think you should be more concerned about back there than me.”
The thoughts flowing through my mind were complicated, but not much time passed.
Namgung pointed to the fire giraffe behind Zeren and said.
“…ah!!”
Zeren hurriedly turned around.
The fire giraffe, which looked as if it would attack at any moment, was surprisingly keeping its distance and being wary.
“Why are you doing that?”
“that’s interesting. Just a little while ago, he was trying to catch us…”
“Are you sure he was scared? “As expected, since Mr. Namgung is coming, it’s different from our time.”
The good-natured Clark gave a thumbs up and said to Namgung, but Namgung knew that the fire giraffe was not afraid of him.
[It’s a delicious-looking firework.]
Burning…!!!
A purple flame appeared and Lathea appeared behind Namgung. The two people looked at her with wide eyes as she appeared wearing a completely unmatched black helmet and hunter outfit.
[Are you going to catch him?]
“No. The fire giraffe is difficult for even me to hunt. “Even if you help me, I can’t be sure we will win or lose.”
[Hmm… I don’t think your skills will be lacking.]
“It would be difficult if you wasted time dealing with him and suffered damage from a giant demon.”
[It’s a shame. The Yoran clan is strong against fire. Sometimes, you can become stronger by eating flames.]
That’s probably why the fire giraffe is on guard now.
“What I’m aiming for is [Maenghwajang] under the lake, which is its nest. Even if you don’t catch the fire giraffe, it won’t be a problem to clear the Hell Gate, but if you don’t get the boots, the next step will be difficult.”
It was a boot filled with the power of a fire giraffe called Flame Walker.
An armor that creates instantaneous flames and allows fire resistance as well as attack.
However, the reason for obtaining [Maenghwajang] was not simply because of the attribute effect, but also because it creates an instantaneous flame and dramatically increases the speed of the wearer.
‘If you create a series of sparks, you can instantly jump tens of meters high.’
These boots were useful not only for dealing with huge monsters such as giant demons, but also for dealing with the monsters that would appear later.
A floating castle called Heavenly Spirit.
This was because Namgung, who could not use magic, had to find a way to fly to attack that place.
“You’re saying it’s hard to catch Mr. Namgung? “But the Aspect gave me a quest?”
“Even if you are a revealer, you should not easily believe everything that your status gives you. “You always have to doubt and doubt.”
Namgung responded to Jeren’s words.
“If you hunt a bull giraffe, the reward will definitely be great. “Maybe it will drop better items than going on a quest and killing a giant demon.”
That also meant that Fire Kirin was a stronger monster than the current boss of the 6th Gate of Hell.
‘There is no need to say that Breeze’s mother gave me such a quest to disturb me.’
If that happens, he becomes like a piece of chess that is thrown away for one move.
“Are you planning on catching me?”
Namgung asked Jeren.
The explanation was sufficient.
Zeren and Clark would know the difference in skill between them and him without even having to say it.
“It’s suicidal.”
“that’s right. I fought and found out. Catching it on our own is the same as throwing two tasty treats at it.”
“Good idea. You can give up the quest, but you only have one life. “If you die, it’s over.”
As Namgung said that, he recalled the image of Zeren, who was killed by demons like a magic light.
“Let’s go back.”
Hiding his wish not to die, Namgung tried to pass by the two people.
“It’s impossible with just the two of us. So I was about to give up… but then I changed my mind.”
“what?”
“I have a plan I want to try. “If Namgung helps, it might be possible.”
“I would have definitely said that. I don’t plan on wasting time. If you are also a revealer, have eyes that care for the world before satisfying your own greed.”
“You don’t have to waste time. “It only takes one minute.”
“What is that…”
I couldn’t believe Zeren’s words that he would finish the fight against the Fire Kirin in one minute, but Namgung was intrigued by his confident attitude.
‘Even in his past life, Zeren sometimes attacked dungeons in unexpected ways.’
“hmm.”
Namgung took a moment to catch his breath and looked at him.
[Kaaaaaa—-!!]
At that moment, the fire giraffe, who was on guard, rushed forward with a sharp roar as if it could no longer hold back.
“Move.”
Namgoong kicked the two people.
Leaving behind them as they bounced away, he swung the [Kimyeong Sword] towards the Fire Kirin.
Kaang-!!!
When the sword touched the fire giraffe’s scales, a sound like striking metal was heard.
▶ The demons of the sword are suffering from the flames of the Fire Kirin.
▶ The durability of the sword decreases quickly.
The sword trembled as if struggling.
‘It’s not a good match…’
In general, flames have a weak purifying power. That is why, in addition to holy power, flame is used when dealing with undead.
It goes without saying, but the [Kingmyeong Sword], made from the spirit of an evil spirit, could not damage the Fire Kirin and could actually break it.
Kwaaaaang…!!
Was it a long thought?
At that moment, the fire giraffe’s foot hit Namgung.
“Tsk!!”
With a suffocating pain, the rocks surrounding his body suddenly shattered.
▶ The effect of the Petrification Jewel will cease.
▶ Reuse is not possible for 15 minutes.
Namgoong, who was pushed back, shakes off the pieces of rock stuck to his body and shakes them off! Grinded.
▶ Use the Primeval Dragon’s Bracelet.
▶ Ichthyosaur Jewel is activated.
▶ The gem of rubella is activated.
Ten sign fish were summoned at his feet.
Unlike the first time, the sign fish had sharp protrusions protruding from their foreheads.
Ssssssssssssss—!!
The fish scattered in all directions and flew towards the fire giraffe.
At that moment, the vortex created from the Rubjin Jewel obtained by killing Drake enveloped the fish.
Wow! puck!!
Cheeeeeeeek…!!
As the water fish exploded upon hitting the fire giraffe like cannonballs, white steam rose.
[Crook! Crumbling-!!]
Unlike the first time, the bull giraffe retreated back as if in pain from the beast fish’s attack.
“I think it’s been a minute? hey!! “What is that plan!”
Namgung shouted as the last sign exploded like a water balloon at the fire giraffe’s front paw.
“wait a minute!!”
[Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—!!!]
That was the time.
Along with Zeren’s shout, a sound like a ship horn struck Namgung’s ears.
A huge pillar-like thing rose up, and in an instant, a shadow was cast over the area and it became dark.
‘That’s…’
Namgung looked up with a blank expression without realizing it.
The huge pillar was none other than the head of a giant demon.
Something came out of the turtle’s head, which was raised 90 degrees toward the sky.
“sideways!!!”
Cheolpudeok—!!!
A huge ball of water fell.
bang! bang! bang!!!!!
Like a bombing raid, streams of rainwater hit the area.
[Keeeeeeek–!!!]
The fire giraffe began to struggle as if in pain from the pouring rain.
“good!!”
Seeing this, Zeren clenched his fists and shouted in delight.
‘No way…’
A sudden shower of rain fell in the dry sky.
At that moment, Namgung frowned and looked at Jeren as the foul smell assaulted his nose.
That was the spit spit out by the giant devil.
