Chapter 179
Episode 179
“…!!!”
Carlos looked at the ice thorns piercing his body and stuck to the floor, with an expression of incomprehension.
“At best, the 7th Gate has just been completed… Those people can break through the blood barrier?”
“I guess you don’t know what reward we got from hunting the giant demon. “Your status is wary of us, so what’s so great about your ability that you’re barely a member of a representative clan from another dimension?”
Namgung spoke to the man who fell on the floor.
‘Have Park Hyo-joo and So-min finished analyzing the wall? ‘It’s faster than I thought.’
Actually, as he said, he was secretly relieved that the barrier collapsed faster than expected.
After clashing swords with Carlos, I realized that it would not be easy to subdue him alone.
“No one wants your power. “I don’t know how you got out of the tower, but if you don’t return to your original place, I’ll force you into it.”
“Can you do that?”
“…what?”
“Don’t think that just because you don’t want our power doesn’t mean everyone else doesn’t.”
When
Carlos snapped his fingers, dozens of images appeared above his head.
Small ships surrounding a ship anchored in Buenos Aires.
And there were images of people running toward the castle where Namgung was located, and even images of people pointing knives and guns at children.
Kwaang-!!!
The door opened roughly and the people who entered the room pointed their guns at Namgung.
“…Stop!!!”
Among the dozen people who entered the room, the face of the person standing at the front looked familiar.
“You wouldn’t think a gun would work on me… What are you doing here? “Igor.”
The large man nicknamed Brown Bear was Erica’s attendant who helped Namgung when he confronted Alec Traman in Yeouido in the past.
“I thought I left Jagat and swore allegiance to Ninagawa… but did you betray me like this? What are the eyes of God? “Even your great foresight is useless.”
Namgung smiled coldly at Igor.
“He can’t even take care of his own subordinates properly.”
“…I don’t think it’s a matter for you to get involved in.”
“yes. I don’t care where you end up. After all, he was Alexandre’s dog and he betrayed him… so it wouldn’t be surprising if he betrayed him again.”
Snap –
At that moment, Igor gritted his teeth.
“So, did you get it too?”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
When Igor threw down the gun he was holding and stepped on the ground, a heavy sound was heard, like an elephant stamping its feet.
thud! thud! thud!!!
A huge body rushed towards Namgung.
“Whoa!!”
The moment he swung his fist, his fist grew abnormally large.
‘Following giantization, is it going to be hardening?’
Wow-!!
Namgung raised his arm and blocked Igor’s attack. A huge shock hit his arm, as if a truck had hit him.
“It hurts quite a bit.”
An ordinary person would have been blown away by his blow, but Namgung did not falter even a single step.
This is because As was supporting him behind him.
“Transformation ability usually only has one characteristic… but how should we accept the fact that it has two?”
“….”
“The three Igor brothers during the Zagat era were quite amazing. “I heard that the rest of the brothers joined a killer group while the eldest was suffering from illness… Do you think my interpretation matches the powers you just gained?”
Kwaak-
Namgung grabbed his hand, which had grown huge.
Even if I stretched out my palm with all my might, I could only grab one of his fingers, but
when I put more pressure on my hand, Igor’s finger was bent in a strange way
.
“Kaaaaaaaaah!!!”
“Is the power gained by sucking your brother’s blood enough to achieve this? “What do you want to do with this power?”
“…shut up!!!”
Igor hurriedly withdrew his fist.
But at that moment, As’s huge ax fell from above and smashed the ground.
Red blood spurted out along with the ax on the ground.
Igor’s now huge fist was cut off and rolled around on the floor.
“Hehehe!! “My arm…!!!”
he shouted, looking in disbelief at his severed arm, blood gushing out like a fountain.
“Nonsense…! “My arms are stronger than steel…!”
“People with the power to cut steel are now widespread.”
Igor fell backwards, struggling with his severed arm.
Namgung stood on top of the fallen man and grabbed the sword backwards to stab him in the neck.
“stop.”
Carlos’ voice was heard when the tip of the sword barely touched Igor’s uvula.
“….”
Namgung turned his head and looked at him.
“why? “Are you going to beg me to save them?”
“It can’t be. I didn’t even think they could stop you. And these are things that don’t matter even if you die. “I just thought that if I was going to kill it, it would be better to kill something more useful.”
“Something more useful?”
Crash-!!!
It was then.
Among the images floating above Carlos’ head, he remembered children being tied up and kneeling.
“Something like this.”
When I removed the mask from the head of one of the trembling children, I saw a familiar face.
He was a slum child whom I rescued in Sao Paulo.
“….”
“I don’t want to blow a hole in the child’s head either. How is it.”
Kwaak –
The hand holding the sword gained strength.
“catch!!”
When Igor, who was lying on the floor, shouted, the rest of the people rushed in and grabbed Namgung’s arm.
“What, your body looks like a rock….”
“…it doesn’t move, does it?”
People tried their best to lift Namgung, who was trampling on Igor, but he did not budge.
“….”
After looking at Carlos for a moment, Namgung stepped on Igor’s chest once more and nervously got down from above him.
“Huff…”
Igor stepped back, breathing heavily as if his chest bone had been broken.
“Let go.”
When Namgung spoke softly to the people who were holding him and whining, they let go of their hands as if they were holding him shyly.
Squeak –
Namgung pulled up the fallen chair and sat down.
“Well thought out. We cannot save everyone by using force. But compromise can save everyone.”
“compromise? “Is that why you abandoned Yao-ran and Wu and joined Sang-sang?”
Carlos smiled slightly at Namgoong’s words.
“What we want is as I said. It’s not that difficult. Giving us land where our clan can live.”
He looked at Namgung.
“If you wish, we will transfer all those here who do not wish to remain.”
“You kill a child so casually that you speak so considerately.”
Namgung gritted his teeth as he looked at the dead child’s body still floating above his head.
“good. Let me ask you just one thing. Why do you even want to go outside? The Yoran clan still lives in the tower, and we also think of the tower as a sanctuary in preparation for the carnival.”
“We are different from the Yoran clan. Interestingly, there is a devil next to you. “By any chance, what was his position here?”
“He was the master of the door.”
“The devil, who was a clan of representatives, has been reduced to the owner of the door… Then, I understand. “Why do we want to own the land?”
[No way… Are you trying to kill the world’s representative clan and take their place!]
Demon King Natas shouted at Carlos.
“Have you thought about that? “The demons of this world had a pretty low-level plan.”
[…what? You bastard!!]
“It’s okay to have an octagonal war. It’s not like I’m trying to regain my place in the Vicar clan. “I just want the clan to continue.”
“Continuation of the clan?”
Sigh –
it was that time.
As Carlos unbuttoned his clothes, he saw that there were a lot of black blisters on his left chest.
“…What is that?”
“We are a clan that lives on runes. But there are no runes inside the tower. “We are dying little by little.”
He looked at Namgung.
“You know. That the world has many dimensions. “It’s different, but in each dimension, there are statuses and representative clans that lead the carnival.”
“however?”
“But even if the entities are different, their existence is one. If a being at that location dies, beings in all dimensions at that location will disappear.”
“Are you saying that even in another dimension, if a phase dies, that phase will no longer exist here?”
“you’re right. Of course, the carnival is not happening simultaneously, so you just don’t notice it.”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!
As Carlos moved his fingers, symbols representing the phases appeared.
However, there were dozens of patterns, not the eight I was familiar with.
“For example, if the owner of the seven snakes disappears in a certain dimension, he will disappear from all dimensions. Instead, at the next carnival, another status will take his place, filling the eight positions.”
Carlos looked at Namgung.
“And that goes for the Vicar clan as well. When the head of a clan dies… clans in all dimensions also disappear. “The very existence is completely erased.”
“Does that mean… the clans that were defeated in the Octagon War cannot exist in other dimensions?”
“you’re right. This is acceptable since it is a war in which the loser does not survive anyway. But…” His hand
clenched
into a fist and his strength went into it.
“I don’t want to disappear like this. At least please give us a chance so that the clans of other dimensions do not disappear because of me.”
Carlos took a step forward and knelt in front of Namgung.
“I had no choice but to use humans to avoid being noticed, but as a member of the proxy clan, I am also devastated by this incident.”
He spoke in a tearful voice.
“But this is also a sufficient deal with humans. “There is nothing coercive about it.”
“….”
“It is not a lie that we will provide you with runes if you give us territory. “When the clan regains its strength, we will find the runes and offer them to you.”
“Did you say Carlos?”
Namgung spoke in a low voice to the man who bowed his head in front of him.
“I guess you compromised with your status like this back then too? “Whose instigation are you doing this?”
“What do you mean…”
Carlos asked back in confusion.
“Dying is true, and eating runes is also true. But the tower door was opened because I conquered the first floor?”
Namgung smiled coldly.
“I guess you don’t know what’s in the basement of the tower.”
“yes?”
“Ran is trapped there.”
“…!!!”
“I dare to enter the prison that even the primeval phase could not escape from…”
He said to Carlos’ pale face.
“You said you escaped?”
