The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 178

“The waves have deepened.”

“The fairies began to cry. “It feels like something… is going on inside.”

“how will we do it. You can’t look inside from the outside anyway. I have no choice but to go in directly or disarm that barrier…”

In the ship’s monitor room, Joo Joo-in and Nam So-min looked at the red curtain that looked dangerous with stern faces.

“Not yet. “Seeing as communication with my father has been cut off, there is a high possibility that I will suffer a mental attack if I just go in there.”

“Hmm.”

“And in order to lift the barrier, we need to analyze the basis of the technique. “For now, it would be better to wait for Hyo-ju to contact me.”

“Will it be okay?”

Somin chuckled at Joo Joo-in’s question.

“Hey, who are you worried about? “The person who went in there is my dad.”

“She’s like that guy’s daughter.”

Joo Joo-in lightly stroked So-min’s hair and spoke.

“But we can’t just sit back and do nothing. Even if I can’t destroy it…”

On the deck, Den Howl gave her a thumbs up.

A huge magic circle drawn beneath his feet.

Somin nodded while clutching the World Tree’s staff.

“Because I can’t be bothered.”

Paaah-!!

The space in front of her distorted, and she suddenly appeared on the deck, slamming her staff down on the center of the magic circle with all her might.

Wooooow—!!

The magic circle engraved on the deck began to emit light and slowly rise into the sky.

chuck-! Whirling…!!

As Somin waved his staff in the air like drawing a rune, the huge magic circle slowly split into dozens.

“I’m ready.”

“No matter how many times I see it, it’s truly amazing magical power.”

Den Howl couldn’t help but be amazed as he looked at the dozens of magic circles floating in the sky.

‘At most, the number of multiple magic circles I can create will still be less than ten…’

Den Howl smiled bitterly, but did not feel the envy or jealousy he had before.

He has now mastered the second page of the Book of Leah, but his magical power has not increased significantly compared to the past.

Compared to himself, Nam So-min’s increase in magical power was astounding.

If the vast ocean is Nam So-min’s magic, he can only be a river.

But he realized this while learning the magic book.

Conversely, a narrow river can flow faster than a calm sea.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!

The page of the magic book held in Den Howl’s hand was opened. When he snapped his fingers, the light flowing from the magic book connected to the magic circle.

The space between the magic circles, which had been divided into dozens, was connected by strings of light.

‘If Miss Somin can split the magic circle with her enormous magical power, I can weave the divided magic circles one by one and quickly let the magic flow.’

This would have been impossible without sophisticated control.

That was the magic path that Nam So-min could not do and that he could do.

“Ice Needle.”

With Den Howl’s low voice, the magic circles began to emit light all at once.

Quaggggggggeuk…!!

Sharp ice picks spewed out from dozens of magic circles.

widely-.

At the same time as he snapped his fingers, ice picks erupted from the magic circle and flew towards the city wall.

* * *

Cooggggggg….

The ground shook.

Carlos, who was confronting him, frowned slightly at the intermittent tremors.

“It’s useless to use magic to create a barrier.”

“well. Seeing how much attention you put into it, it doesn’t seem like it’s a useless thing. “Wouldn’t it be difficult if the barrier were to break?”

“If you’re curious, break it.”

“Even if I don’t do that, my colleagues will take care of it. “Just as everyone has their own role to play, it is my job to find out your identity.”

Kaang-!!!

Namgung’s sword and Carlos’s rapier clashed sharply.

“You sell your qualities to people? Give equal power to two people and take the life of one of them.”

“You know very well.”

“What are you going to do with the life you took away?”

“Don’t you know? It is an equivalent exchange. If one gains, one must lose. “I deserve to be thanked because they allowed me to choose between gaining and losing.”

“select? Even though the subordinates are only used as sacrifices simply because they share the same bloodline?”

“Isn’t that the same in any world? “Because predators don’t ask for the prey’s will and then eat it.”

“So what do you get? They talk about equivalent exchange like that and give it away without any benefit? “It probably doesn’t even sound like a horse.”

“Of course. Of course, I also gain something.”

“What is that?”

Shook-! Shush-!!

Carlos placed his hand on the blade of his rapier, easily avoiding the attacks of the soul soldiers aiming for the rearguard.

‘Magic circle?’

No, it was a little different.

Although he could not use magic, Namgung had studied various techniques, including magic.

Because I had to know the abilities the enemy was using so I could deal with them.

That’s why I thought I could read quite a few magic circles and magic circles, but Carlos’s was my first time seeing it.

“…damage!!”

Namgung shouted, instinctively feeling that his abilities were in danger.

[Keeeeeeeeee—!!!]

But at that moment, a strange screaming sound was heard from within the magic circle created above the sword.

“…!!”

Seeing this sight for the first time, Namgung hurriedly took a step back.

Ugh…! Ugh…!!

Tentacles like octopus legs grabbed the spirit soldiers around the huge mouth that protruded from the magic circle.

“Stop him!!”

At Namgung’s command, the soul shaman shouted a rune.

Black smoke flew like a blade towards the soul soldiers caught in the tentacles.

Phew…!!

The smoke blade sharply attacked the tentacle, but as if it did not have enough strength to cut the tentacle, it remained stuck and broke.

The soul soldiers who were dragged by the tentacles into the huge mouth were chewed up and swallowed.

[Kkeok-]

The monster that ate two soul soldiers in an instant burped as if it was satisfied and ate its food.

“Eating soul soldiers…? “What the heck…”

Even Namgung, who had been attending the carnival for 25 years, saw this monster for the first time.

[Was there something like that…?]

[It’s definitely not from the demon world.]

Nameless and Natas also seemed to be seeing Carlos’ familiar for the first time.

[That…]

Only one person, Latea, was different.

‘Do you know this guy?’

[I’ve never seen it either. But I only heard it through hearsay… Yograon. A monster of the abyss that devours anything with countless tentacles. They said there was only one race that could train that…]

Sigh…!!

The monster that swallowed the soul soldier flew its tentacles towards Namgung.

Dozens of tentacles were targeting Karil in all directions, and As was blocking his path.

Kwaaaaang–!!

Although it was a tentacle that looked squishy, it sounded like metal colliding.

‘Don’t hesitate and tell me!’

[It was said that the only clan that can handle Yograon is the Soron clan.]

“Soron…?”

Carlos, who heard Namgung’s muttering, somehow smiled strangely.

“That’s surprising. Do you know us? Or…”

Tadat-!!

Carlos’ body disappeared along with a blurry afterimage.

Hiding in Yograon’s tentacles, he aimed his rapier at Namgung’s back.

“Are you with someone who knows us?”

Kaaaang–!!!

The rapier’s sword strike accurately pierced Namgung’s chest. His body bounced and crashed into the wall.

[Namgoong!!!]

Latea hurriedly called him.

“Hoo…”

But at that moment, Carlos’ eyes widened as he looked at the stone dust on the tip of the sword.

“Did you use the gem of stone in that brief moment? Indeed… it can be said that he is the strongest human being.”

Patter….

As Namgung stood up, the rocks surrounding his upper body crumbled into powder and fell.

The [Primal Dragon’s Bracelet] on his wrist trembled.

“Latea. So what does that guy really mean?”

[The Soron clan…]

“We live on the second floor of the tower.”

“…what? Nonsense. “The passageway connected to the second floor must be completely monitored, right?”

“There is no law that says the entrance to the tower must be on the first floor. “Thanks to Woo’s tower being connected to the world, we were able to go out into the world.”

“That’s it…”

[That’s my mistake. I didn’t know they were on the second floor of the tower.]

“Yes. That’s not a lie. We also didn’t know who lived on the first floor. “It is surprising that there is a Yoran clan… but it is even more surprising that the head of the clan has become a spirit and attached to a human.”

Carlos looked at Latea and smiled.

[You… you knew I existed from the beginning?]

“You can’t not know. Because our Soron clan served as a proxy clan in your world. “But you didn’t seem to notice me.”

Carlos looked at Latea’s spiritual body.

“It’s a shame. If it had been your father instead of you, he would have recognized me right away. Take a look. Even if they are of the same lineage, differences in capabilities are obvious.”

[…Shut up!!!]

Sigh-.

He wiped his sword with his sleeve.

“Why is it a bad thing to put that power in one person? Rather, humans should be thankful that we are out in the world.”

“Crazy…”

“We can provide you with many runes that you would not be able to obtain even if you die and wake up. Not only that, we can gather the power of your bloodline to create a strong warrior with the qualities you want.”

Carlos looked at Namgung.

“Instead, what we hope for is something very small.”

“what?”

“To have our land as it is now. We are no longer a clan of surrogates. “I just want to get away from the barren second floor of the tower and live with you all.”

“You did something like this and now you’re asking me for a favor? I guess I’m misunderstanding the order in which things are done. So you get locked up in the tower.”

“….”

Carlos looked at Namgung.

“We also made the Yoran clan the winner of the carnival. “If it weren’t for our strength, Yoran would have been destroyed a long time ago.”

Tuung –

He sheathed his sword and looked at Latea.

“Is there any lie in what I say? “Didn’t your father, Leoric, use our Soron monsters to catch and eat countless monsters?”

[If you want to talk, you have to finish it. Surely your cursed power is powerful. But the important thing is that I can’t trust you guys.]

“….”

[Have you really forgotten? Because of your betrayal, Wu was sealed in the War of the Throne and my father was exiled!]

“That is not a betrayal. “It was just a choice to maintain discipline.”

“stop.”

Among the two growling people, Namgung’s words silenced them.

“I understand roughly what the situation is. So, you came here after staying on the second floor of the tower.”

“That’s right.”

“In the end, it means that you entered the human world on your own. Do you know how we treat trespassers in our world?”

“…yes?”

“It’s a forced eviction.”

It was then.

Kwahia Ahhh– !!!

Sharp ice thorns rained down from the sky and pierced Carlos’ body.
