The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 198

What was in the box was a small potion.

“….”

Namgung looked at the clear liquid contained in the nothing special vial.

‘…What is this?’

Ironically, because it seemed to be nothing special, the vial was actually more special than any other weapon here.

‘The information on all items created at the carnival can be viewed.’

However, no explanation could be found on the medicine bottle in the box.

It wasn’t just that the explanation window was empty.

‘Like a real object, there is absolutely nothing written on it. If you found it outside, it would be nothing…’

This place is inside the treasury of status.

In other words, it made no sense for there to be a real object at the center of the carnival.

‘There’s no explanation, so there’s no way to know what this is.’

Namgung looked at the liquid in the bottle.

He was definitely curious, but he was uncertain whether this unknown liquid would be more helpful to him than the epic items in the warehouse.

[So, did you choose the benefits you wanted?]

Just as Namgung was thinking, he heard Yor’s voice.

“well. “I’m still thinking about it… I want to know why something like this is here.”

Yor’s well-timed appearance made Namgung realize that he had been hoping to find this.

[Ah… Was this here?]

Yor nodded slightly as he looked at the glass bottle that Namgung was holding.

“I think I need an explanation.”

[Hmm, I think it would be difficult to tell you the reason. No matter how much he is a revealer, he cannot share everything.]

“Then do you know what this is?”

[It’s no big deal.]

Yor lightly shrugged his shoulders and said to Namgung.

[Tears.]

“…Tears? Someone’s?”

[That would be difficult.]

“Then I guess I can answer this. “If you can’t see the explanation, it means it wasn’t created at the carnival… Is that right?”

[okay. At least it wasn’t created for this carnival.]

‘If you enter the dungeon through the black route that allows you to see the true appearance of the dungeon, no reward box will appear even if you kill the boss.’

However, even the black route, which returns monsters and bosses to real existence, is not without rewards.

Even if they were from a different dimension, they were clearly created for the carnival.

That’s why we were able to find compensation items inside the corpse.

And the rewards inside their bodies were clearly carnival items with numbering.

‘Carnival takes place in another dimension as well. That means that just because the dimensions are different doesn’t mean numbering doesn’t exist.’

Namgoong looked inside the glass bottle.

In other words, regardless of the dimension, numbering is only affected by the carnival.

“Could it be… that it’s something from this world?”

Yor nodded slowly in response to his question.

[This is all I can do. If you’re curious, you can choose that as a benefit.]

He smiled strangely.

[We cannot provide information about it unless you choose. Of course, I can’t tell you everything if you choose, but I can at least answer your questions.]

“Hmm…”

Namgung couldn’t help but think about his words.

Certainly, the unidentified liquid called tears was enough to arouse his curiosity.

‘But is this what you need to fight the Seven Serpents Incarnate?’

It wasn’t.

Although he was curious, what really mattered to him now was the test of Avatar.

‘I experienced the incarnation of seven snakes in my past life, but out of the seven, humans were only able to successfully hunt three. And later, when I was left alone, I hunted three animals.’

The fact that the Human Alliance hunted with all their might and that he caught Dong-soo’s incarnation meant that his ability was enormous, but there was something else that was important to Namgung.

‘One last one.’

In the end, we couldn’t hunt that guy.

“Is there any weapon here that can protect against poison?”

[then. of course. Look at the end over there. It is called Moonlight Gae.]

Namgung looked in the direction he pointed.

It was a headband made of thin string.

When he put it on his forehead, it turned transparent and disappeared as if melting.

“Hmm….”

[You will feel it as soon as you put it on. If you use it, it will give you a resistance that is close to invulnerability.]

Yor spoke as if he knew why Namgung was looking for this.

[Even Hydra, the king of all poisons and the last incarnation who was bestowed with my power, would have a hard time breaking through the Moonlight Dog’s resistance.]

Namgung nodded at his words.

If you were hunting one animal at a time, it wasn’t a problem.

Even though I failed to hunt the Hydra, I thought that I might be able to deal with it with my current abilities.

But the problem was dealing with them at the same time.

[It’s greed. Anyway, the test has not started yet, so you can change the number of Avatars you summon.]

Yor said, looking at his worried appearance.

[If you eat a lot of delicious food at once, you will feel sick before you can enjoy the taste. Do it one by one.]

But his thoughts were much more determined than his worries.

“It’s too late for that. I want to get to the next level of strength. The power of carnival is ultimately the result of building upon corpses. If you gain power through the stages given by Carnival, it means you have to make a lot of sacrifices.”

[You have grown so fast that we can’t even imagine you leaving the regression. It would be nice to take some time off… but the choice is yours.]

Namgung lightly swept his forehead, where he was wearing the [Moonlight Dog], in response to his words.

[As you know, the Three Readings have levels. I divided the grades arbitrarily, and the items stored in each door are also different.] While he

was pondering, he turned his head to Yor’s words.

[Regardless of the grade of the item, if it is in the same warehouse, it means that it has similar value, at least in my eyes. No matter what you choose.]

“….”

Namgung seemed to have made up his mind in his words.

* * *

[Curiosity overtook me.]

“I can’t help but be curious. “It looks like rice cake sprinkled on purpose, but… if it’s just for the sake of it, you have to be fooled sometimes.”

[Clark, I won’t do anything for you like that. This is because it was truly valuable enough to be stored in the Silver Gate.]

“Then I have no choice but to choose this one. “I decided that you were more valuable than the legendary weapon Leoric’s Helmet.”

Namgung held up a bottle containing a small liquid.

It was a reward chosen after taking on the risk of the test of Avatar.

In fact, Namgung also waited for his answer with a little trepidation to see if he had made the right decision.

‘The status is God. Among the weapons possessed by gods, there is nothing that exists without meaning.’

The reason I chose the glass bottle was persimmon.

Since he had been cool-headed based on his memories and experiences until now, this choice was close to a gamble.

But strangely, he was drawn to this unknown glass bottle.

It was not an opportunity to hit the jackpot.

Instinctive attraction.

In fact, it was something that even he couldn’t explain.

[Well… it’s only natural that you can’t easily miss it.]

“What do you mean?”

Yor raised his finger and pointed to the glass bottle that Namgung was holding.

[What’s in there are just tears.]

“…Tears?”

Namgung hesitated for a moment at his unexpected answer.

“What are we using this for?”

[well? It won’t be particularly useful at the carnival.]

“….”

Yor chuckled as he saw his distorted expression.

[Kkkkk why? Did you expect at least an opportunity for a comeback? You understood it too, right? The lack of information means that it is a thing of this world.]

He continued speaking.

[The weapons you have are difficult to inflict even a scratch on monsters, so what can you do with the liquid in that small glass bottle?]

“It’s noisy. “Then tell me why I am drawn to these tears.”

At his slightly irritated reaction, Yor chuckled as if he was teasing him for no reason.

[Human tears.]

But soon he spoke to Namgung in a low voice.

[Because they are the tears of the beginning of humanity.]

At his unexpected words, Namgung opened his eyes wide and looked at the bottle.

[So I have no choice but to be attracted to you. Because the bond of blood is strong. It is natural to be attracted to ancestors.]

“Humans from the beginning…? Why do you have this? “You showed up right as the carnival started.”

[Of course I am. However, the position of status was there even before that.]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm…!!

[As I said before, these are the beings you called gods and devils. They are all figures of the past, beings who governed the world even without the Carnival.] When

he snapped his fingers, various historical sites and treasures appeared.

[And the memories of the past Aspects are passed on to the current Aspects. Of course, the things they had were passed on to me.]

“Hmm…”

Namgung nodded slowly.

“He is the beginning of man….”

[He is a being who can be said to be the origin of mankind. It’s only natural that you would be attracted to it.]

“Well then. “Does anyone know anything about this?”

[At least not within the carnival. Rather, it would be better to get help from people with special abilities in the real world you live in.]

“I see.”

Namgung nodded at his words.

[But… Even if it’s your choice, how do you plan on taking future exams? Did you say dragon? Even though you have a child with Leviathan’s blood, it is not enough to deal with my devotees.]

Yor said to Namgung, who was putting the glass bottle in his arms.

[The same goes for the soul soldiers you have. The primordial spirit obtained recently may be of some use, but the rest of the ordinary soldiers are just food for the Avatar.]

“Yes, if I had obtained the Moonlight Dog as you said, it would have been advantageous in the exam. “But it’s not like I couldn’t discern this and chose it without thinking.”

[Is there a plan?]

“Yes, in your eyes, the soul soldiers who have been with me since the National Cemetery seem weak. But their desire to protect the country is stronger than anyone else’s.”

[It’s not something you can do with your heart.]

“No. That heart is the most important. The will to protect my home. Just as status has existed since the past, those with that will have also existed since the past.”

Yor’s expression hardened slightly at Namgung’s words.

“I will empower their will with necromancy.”

[No way…]

Namgung said.

“War heroes in history”
