The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 181

“What are you doing? Go ahead and prove it. “If it was your strength to get out of the tower.”

“….”

“As expected… your tongue seems to be a little longer than the demon’s three-inch tongue. Let’s pretend this never happened. It would be best to return to the tower right now. “Unless you want to go to war with humanity.”

“Now wait!!”

As Namgung tried to turn around, Carlos urgently called him out.

“I never lied. So… could you please wait a moment? “I have something to tell you.”

Carlos spoke to Namgung with a pale face.

The anxious look didn’t seem like he was lying, but Namgung still didn’t let go of his suspicions.

“Would you please take care of the surroundings?”

“I’ll think about it once we free all the remaining hostages and completely remove the barrier.”

“It seems like your daughter has already completely removed the barrier… Well, that’s good. “We destroy the obelisks erected in cities that serve as the starting point for magic.”

When

he snapped his fingers, the tall tower-like buildings that had been built in each city collapsed.

“Thought magic… I’ve been to several carnivals, but it’s magic I’ve never seen before.”

“I know it’s interesting, but I don’t think I’d look at it that intently.”

“Haha, it’s even more amazing in person. And even the Noble Phantasm of the fairy race?”

Carlos looked at Somin and shook his head.

“It seems the World Tree Fairy really liked that child.”

“Somin. “What about other people?”

“Mr. Hyoju and Mr. Sain are checking the cities within the law. Representative Myeong-Hoon and other union members are currently looking into those who have contracted demonic arts.”

Wow…!!

At that moment, the space in front of Somin distorted, and Den Howl walked out of it.

“Hoo… Is this the Book of Leah? Looking at the color of the book, it looks like it’s opened to the second page. Indeed, the level of the Revelators here is high.”

“Stop talking nonsense and get to the point. “What do you want to talk about?”

As soon as Namgung finished speaking, Den Howl opened the page of the magic book.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhh…

Then the runes written on the page glowed and pillars sprouted out from within them and stuck around Carlos.

thud-! thud-! Kuung-!!

A strong rope was woven between pillars embedded in the ground, creating the shape of a prison.

Crackling…! Cheesy…!!

When Carlos stuck his finger between the pillars, a sharp spark erupted.

“[False silence]… It’s been a long time since I’ve been trapped here. Still, TOP’s experience is helpful. In the past, it would have been quite uncomfortable.”

He said as if he was actually happy about the magical prison that had trapped him.

“If you know what this magic is, you won’t be able to talk nonsense from now on. “Every time you tell a lie, the prison will get smaller and smaller.”

Carlos smiled slightly at Den’s threat.

“The devil doesn’t lie. “I just twist it a little bit.”

The pillar did not move.

“But what I’m going to tell you from now on is the truth that doesn’t require even the slightest change.”

“say it.”

“It is true that thanks to you guys conquering the first floor of the tower, the door to the second floor was also opened. “But I didn’t say that the door you all know was the one I came out of.”

Sigh…!!

When Carlos spread his hands and faced them in parallel, a small gap was created between them.

What looked like subspace was not the gap created when Michael used the leaping technique or the distortion that occurred when Den Howl casted the movement magic.

“Hmm, how should I explain this…”

“What a hole.”

At Namgung’s words, Carlos snapped his fingers and nodded.

“Haha, that’s perfect. you’re right. This is just a very small gap. “For humans to enter this place, they would have no choice but to squeeze themselves in.”

He pressed both hands together.

Then the small space created between my palms was crushed.

“It’s not a problem to get in, but if you squeeze yourself into a hole this big, I don’t know if you’ll be alive after you get in.”

He chuckled, telling a joke that didn’t even seem like a joke.

“What about leaping or movement magic?”

“Aren’t all those supernatural powers obtained through the carnival? The tower was created by the Aspects. There’s no way that kind of power would work.”

“Then how did you get out?”

“The Vicar clan are not those below the status. “The power we use is our clan’s own power, not something we received from them.”

‘It’s exactly like what she said.’

His words instantly reminded Namgung of what the Fairy Queen had said to him when he went to the fairy world in the past.

This was when Namgung asked the queen about Woo.

-The Dalija clan was born from Wu.

“What you’re saying is…”

Namgung looked at Carlos.

“You really mean that the Aspect was not involved at all when escaping from the tower.”

“The devil’s tongue is light, but the devil’s oath is heavier than anything else. “Although the Aspects know about my escape from the tower, no one has ever helped me escape.”

He spoke confidently.

“You asked how a lowly person like me could escape if a person trapped underground cannot escape the tower. But it’s actually a simple reason.”

“After all, he is just one of the phases.”

“That’s correct.”

It was impossible to immediately cast doubt, but Carlos’ words were valid enough.

“Then how can I get to the upper levels of the tower?”

“The tower is truly a place filled with the power of phases. In order to be free from there, you must have the power to oppose the power of the phase.”

Karring….

It was then.

As if in response to his words, the chain of Woo (无) wrapped around Namgung’s wrist moved.

“you’re right. The chain is a weapon in which the power of Wu is concentrated. Nothing could be more certain to nullify the tower’s power. Just…”

“Just?”

“With the current chain, rather than breaking this gap, the chain will break under the weight of the tower.”

Kaang!!!

Namgung swung the chain with all his might toward the gap created by Carlos.

Then the chain flew away with a sharp sound.

“Hmm.”

It was only once, but the moment the energy from the gap in the tower touched the chain, Namgung felt a dizzying pain as if his wrist would break.

“As you said, it certainly seems impossible at the moment.”

He stared at the chains.

‘I think I need to strengthen the chain to impact the gap…’

Thanks to his experience in his past life, Namgung knew quite a bit about the various powers that existed in the carnival.

However, everything about Woo was unknown territory even for him.

“Didn’t the yakshas tell you?”

“…what?”

“I think you know that the Dalija clan is derived from Wu.”

Carlos asked back as if he was rather surprised.

“Of course, the Yasha clan, the representative clan, is also capable of handling the power of Yu. “There’s no way they wouldn’t know how to strengthen the chain.”

As if reading Namgung’s thoughts, Carlos opened his eyes and answered.

“No way… they didn’t hide this fact from Namgung on purpose. Clue.”

“Stop talking nonsense and tell me if you know how. “There must be a good reason why they didn’t talk about it.”

Carlos shrugged.

“And even Yor, his status, didn’t know much about Wu.”

“Because he is of stature. Didn’t I tell you? It is said that the status was created from Lan and the Daeja clan was created from Wu. “They are completely different beings.”

“But like it or not, they are clearly under the rules of the carnival. “If there’s a reason you can’t tell me, it would be that, and you’re out of the carnival anyway…”

Namgung said, pulling Carlos’ lips, which were smirking, with his hand.

“It doesn’t matter if I talk about it, right? “The best I can do is die.”

“There is nothing worse than death… What a refreshing way to say this to someone who ran away from the tower for his life.”

“You are not human.”

Carlos held Namgung’s lips and spoke with a sloppy pronunciation.

“Increasing the strength of the chain is simple. In order to get stronger, you have to eat anything. Woo (无) is a power that is contrary to its status. It goes without saying, but the prey of the chain is the power of the Aspect.”

“You mean… eat up the phase?”

“It would be great if that were possible, but no matter how great Namgung is, in the end, he is only a revealer of status. “The Revelator defies phase?”

Carlos pointed to Latea.

“That’s going to look bad.”

[Yes, you bastard…!!]

“There is a way to gain the power of the Aspect without having to kill the Aspect.”

“What is that?”

“Octagon War.”

Namgung slightly frowned at his words.

“Do you know the significance of the Octagon War?”

“of course. While the carnival progresses, eight proxy clans fight their own wars. And as a result, the clan that survives until the end and wins can become the king of the different types.”

Namgung said, wiping the hand that held his lips on his clothes.

“Indeed… then you know what the king of these strange creatures can do.”

“…being promoted to status.”

“That means you can have the power of status. Now then… didn’t we find a way?”

Carlos said, licking his lips as if he had been waiting for this moment.

“Eat up the winner of the Octagon War. Then you will be able to absorb the power of the Aspect. “Kkkkkk.”

He twitched his lips.

“Oh, I see? Judging by the power of the Yasha clan, it seems that you are both a revelator and a contractor of the Yasha clan. Heh heh… this is it. “The situation has become strange.”

He scratched his head and made a perplexed expression, as if he now knew.

“I understand why the Yasha clan didn’t say anything. “If Namgung-nim aims for the power of his stature… he will be on the verge of annihilation.”

“Of course… I promised Gyu-ryu that I would win the Octagon War.”

Carlos nodded to Namgung’s answer.

“That’s why. “I have a very big proposal for you, Namgoong.”

“What?”

“There is one way to save them and gain the power of the Aspect.”

Carlos spoke in a low voice.

“Please put me in the empty spot in the Octagon War. After I win the Octagon War as a representative clan, I will give that power to Namgung.”

“…what?”

“Anyway, I’m a being that doesn’t matter if I disappear right away, right? “Please use me.”

A bitter laugh.

In my past life, I often called demons demons, but I had never met a real demon.

Although it was his first time meeting a devil, Namgoong thought that that smile was proof that Carlos was a devil.

“I will be your strength.”

Namgung looked at him blankly and said.

“That’s terrible.”
