The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 167

“What are they doing!! Don’t you want to eat? “Aren’t you moving quickly?”

Damn-!! Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!! Good!!!

On the mountainside surrounded by black rocks, soldiers wearing gas masks and wielding whips were seen everywhere.

“Don’t forget who protects you from monsters!! “Those who can’t meet their quota will work until night!!”

None of the children climbing the mountain were in good health.

A bony body with visible ribs. The children, who would not be surprised if they fell down at any moment, were walking with difficulty, carrying the black rocks they had broken into small pieces.

A few children fell to the floor, shaking

.

“You bastards! “Don’t wake up quickly!!”

Those wearing gas masks, as if they had been waiting, beat the children with whips.

The sight, which was reminiscent of an ancient slave labor field, was difficult to bear to watch with two eyes.

“Cough…!!”

The fallen children covered their mouths.

Dark red blood spurted out from his mouth, and he could only watch the blood flowing with unfocused eyes, as if he had no sense of the pain of the whip.

Poop-!!!

However, the people wearing gas masks hit the back of the head of the child who was sitting down and brutally stepped on them.

Surprisingly, the police presence was hanging on their chests, which seemed to have no blood or tears.

“What are you looking at! Not moving? “You bastards!!”

At the shouts of the police officers, the children began carrying the black rock again.

Clap-

“Whew… I guess I can’t even eat this.”

The police officer, who had been excitedly stepping on a child who was vomiting blood a moment ago, nervously took off his gas mask as he entered the container box provided at the bottom of the mountain.

Cheek! Gulp – Gulp –

The mountain was radiating heat, making it difficult to even breathe, but the beer in the container box was so cool that it stung my throat.

“Whoa, but I’m doing it for the taste.”

The man wiped away his sweat and leaned back on the sofa.

“Is it delicious? “A drink you drink after beating up kids?”

“…!!!”

At that moment, the officer stood up, startled by a voice coming from behind him.

“sit down.”

However, he lost his strength when the dagger stuck in his thigh and fell backwards again.

Sigh…!!

A thin fishing line was wrapped around the officer’s neck.

“Kukkkeok!!”

When I pulled the line, the fishing line instantly tightened around my neck.

“Listen to me carefully. “Where is this guy called Diego?”

“You bastard… who are you? “Where did you send this guy?!”

“Looking at the noise, it seems like it’s worth buying.”

Kkkdeudeudeuk…!!

As he applied a little more force to the rope, it began to dig deeper and deeper into his flesh, causing red blood to trickle down his neck.

“Please save me!!”

The threat ended much sooner than expected. The rope that was binding the officer lost its strength and fell, as if in disappointment.

“Huh huh huh huh…”

Feeling as if his head was going to be cut off, the man let out a rough breath as he grabbed his neck, which was still attached.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m mining obsidian.”

“Are you talking about that rock?”

“That’s right. “If you refine that, you can get runes.”

Nam Ki-cheol slowly nodded to what he had already heard from the child before coming here, as if it wasn’t that much of a secret.

“The rocks are poisonous, but they’re doing this with a police badge on.”

“Haha… it can’t be helped. We also have to make a living. “If I hadn’t been collecting runes, I would have starved to death already.”

“What is the government doing?”

The police officer burst into laughter as if he was dumbfounded by Nam Ki-cheol’s question.

“The government? “This is all done by the government.”

“You crazy man… do you know what you are doing?”

“I know. But if it weren’t for us, this place would have collapsed long ago. “Shouldn’t you be thankful that you saved the lives of those damn bastards at least a little bit?”

Quang-!!

At that moment, Ki-cheol Nam hit the officer’s head roughly on the table.

“Ugh!!!”

“what? What these bastards do is the same whether there is a carnival or not. “Who protects whom?”

He pushed down on the struggling officer and spoke in a growling voice, as if he was barely holding back his anger.

It was then.

When the neck and body of the police officer who was pressing down were lightly separated, Nam Ki-cheol, who had been leaning on him, stumbled for a moment.

“Have you become talkative more unnecessarily as you get older? “What are you going to do by preaching to those guys?”

“What are you doing now?”

Nam Ki-cheol looked at Namgung with a stern expression, roughly throwing away the police officer’s severed head in his hand.

“Why don’t you use your strength and what does it mean to just look at yourself? “I can’t believe I’m wasting my time on these guys.”

“…Killing at will is still the same.”

“Because they don’t seem like people. “I don’t think you can see the children suffering outside.”

Namgung spoke to him in a cold voice.

“I became a soldier to protect people, not to save animals.”

“….”

“You abandoned your family to save the beast.”

Instead of answering, Nam Ki-cheol searched the body of the fallen police officer. He ripped off the card key that was strapped to his waist.

“If you think that way, it can’t be helped, but I’ll explain the reason someday.”

“I don’t want to listen. “Someday” has already been over 10 years, but if it’s still not the time, I guess I have no intention of saying it.”

Namgung snatched the card key from his hand and turned his head.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!!!

At that moment, spirit soldiers were summoned.

“You…”

“There’s no time to waste time. This is one of the three hidden dungeons you come to after hunting the giant demon. That means you have to clear two more dungeons before the next door opens.”

The summoned soul soldiers disappeared in an instant.

“…Ugh!!!”

Then, he appeared behind the guards guarding the entrance to the mountain outside the container in the distance and quickly overpowered them.

“That’s enough. I was a fool for having any expectations in the first place. “There is nothing more foolish than telling me not to use all my power, but I was listening to that.”

Namgung tried to walk towards the mountain.

[I’m a bit disappointed. I had high expectations because you spoke so grandiosely.]

It was Yor’s voice.

[I thought it was because I had good skills that I told the old man not to pay attention, but he turned out to be a toothless tiger.]

Namgung tried to pretend not to hear his sarcastic words.

[Anyway, it’s cute beyond what it looks like. The reason he threatened me like that in the first place was so that he could visit me himself.]

‘Why don’t you be quiet? Doesn’t this guy named Sang Sang have anything to do? ‘I always get involved in other people’s business.’

[A stranger. You are my revealer. And there’s nothing to do. There is nothing to do because you know so well and survive well.]

Yor said as if teasing him.

[But it’s strange. In terms of the power of this ability, his abilities are insignificant… but he conquered the black route. It seems like there’s more to it.]

‘What does that mean?’

[I don’t know. It’s up to you to figure it out. Anyway, don’t forget that I’m looking forward to it.]

Namgung roughly waved his hand in the air as if to disappear.

“Is that your status?”

“…what?”

“That’s the voice that spoke to you a little while ago. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I was talking to you a little while ago.”

‘what? Could it be that you felt the presence of a phase?’

Namgung couldn’t help but be surprised by his words.

“You’re still not good at hiding your expressions. There is no need to be that surprised. “Have you forgotten that it was I who introduced you to Cuhuran?”

Namgoong’s face may have seemed normal to others, but Nam Ki-cheol did not miss the subtle changes.

“I didn’t learn it formally, but I learned various things little by little.”

He said as he left the container and removed the guards lying at the entrance.

“Even before Carnival, there were talented people all over the world. “They can be good sources of information, and sometimes they can be the key to turning the tide of the war.”

“….”

“Don’t think that you automatically became friends with them. You didn’t do it. “They just inherited what I laid down.”

fault-!!

He took the card key from Namgung’s hand again.

“You know it’s because you’re good at it, right? Arthur, do you think it’s easy to open their hearts? “From Druidism to astrology and astronomy magic… did you learn anything?”

Namgung was unable to respond to his harsh words.

“Isn’t it even more strange that you have a connection with those who are active in the shadows? Unless they found out first and went looking for it. “You’re not a very sociable person.”

“You mean it’s all thanks to you?”

“no.”

Rather, his father’s lukewarm answer made Namgung even angrier.

“It means a son who takes a lot of effort.”

Nam Ki-cheol said while fiddling with his card key.

“Let me ask you just one thing. “The rumor I heard was that you were a regressor. Is this true?”

Chiiik….

When I brought the card key closer, the door leading to the basement at the entrance to the mountain opened.

“What nonsense…”

‘I wonder if my colleagues or revelers wouldn’t know… I’ve never revealed it to the outside world? ‘How on earth does that guy know that?’

Namgung avoided answering his unexpected question.

“Did I die while being of help to you?”

“….”

“It doesn’t matter. Even if you couldn’t do that in your previous life, it would be good if it could at least help you this time. “This is how we met.”

Nam Ki-cheol began placing unknown vials on the floor one by one around the open basement door.

Occasionally, some would stick a thick slime around the door.

“Okay, that’s it. Now open the dungeon.”

Namgung looked at the suspicious vials and wondered.

Even though he had a long past life experience, these were all things he was seeing for the first time.

‘Herbal liquor?’

That’s because there was no way I could leisurely go around gathering herbs in a world that was almost completely destroyed by monster attacks.

“The thing spread on the floor is a catalyst made by grinding 15 different mountain roots together with quince leaves. And the things attached to the wall are ground undead bones obtained from a dungeon created in Egypt. And…”

Noticing Namgung’s curious eyes, he excitedly began to explain to his son.

“I don’t care what they are, what are you going to do with them?”

“First, give me the map. “You’ll know when you open the dungeon door.”

He said while holding the parchment he received from Namgung with both hands.

Wow…!!

And let’s tear up the dungeon map with all our might

▶ Use the dungeon map.

▶ It matches the coordinates on the map.

▶ The conditions have been met.

▶ The door to the level 2 dungeon [Lightning Abyss] opens.

The entrance to the dungeon began to form with a white light.

pop…! pop! Puffpuffpuff… ·!

At that moment, the medicine bottles placed around the door began to explode all at once.

The thick liquid that flowed inside the vial began to surround the opening.

“Didn’t they say that every three years of a Seodang’s life, Pungwol will be recited? At first it was because of a mission…”

‘What is that?’

The dungeon door was like a halo of light and had no shape.

But surprisingly, the slime that exploded from the vial began to cover the entrance, forming a solid door.

It was a pitch-black door.

“I learned all kinds of tricks to become friends with strange guys. “It seems like I’ve become a semi-shaman too.”

‘no way… Is that the black route?’

Namgung realized that he had been thinking wrong all along.

Why was his father able to conquer the black route that no one else could?

The question was wrong from the start.

‘Why didn’t I think of that…’

Jang Gil-su’s Gluttony Man Deok-su’s Workshop Like Park Hyo-joo’s mind, Nam Ki-cheol’s qualities allowed him to open the black route.

[The surrounding air is shaking.]

At that moment, an unknown voice was heard.

[That man…]

And the trembling voices of the Demon King and Lathea followed.

[I am not human.]
