Chapter 207
Episode 207
[Quite a bit of time has passed. Has it been 10 days? Yes, it looks like you are ready to take the test.]
Yor, who was sitting on the throne, looked curiously at Namgoong, who appeared with a haggard face, and said.
[I wonder if you will be able to achieve satisfactory results. Is it just a simple act of recklessness… or is this also a plan prepared with memories from my past life?]
“I don’t need memories from my past life. “At that time, I wasn’t a revealer and I didn’t see them hunting the Avatars.”
[But even after they all died, you still killed three Avatars. And that alone.]
“At that time, the twentieth door had already been opened. “The incarnations are strong, but if you look at the inquiry rounds, they were early bosses.”
Yor nodded at Namgung’s words.
[Of course, as time passes, the bosses at the gate become stronger… but I don’t want to hear that my incarnations are weak.]
Chang-
He threw a small coin in front of him.
[The reason I sent the Avatars to be the boss of the door was with the intention of ending the carnival before the door behind it opened.]
“Really? “If you say so, it’s clear.”
Namgung said as he picked up the coin thrown by Yor.
“I failed in my previous life, so I have no choice but to fail this time.”
[Cluck… Take a look. Let me see for myself how much my revealer has struggled so far.]
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!!
The coin Namgung was holding began to burn.
▶ The door to the four worlds opens.
▶ Only those permitted by the seven snakes can exist here.
As the flames rising from the coin enveloped Namgung, his vision changed.
“Hmm…”
Contrary to what I thought would be a gloomy sub-space, the snake world that unfolded before my eyes had a brighter atmosphere than I expected.
Blue sky with dense forest.
Rather, it was a pleasant space that was clearer than reality.
Kwahia Ah — !!!
No, it was a pleasant space.
“Huh?!”
Namgung rolled forward, avoiding the head of a huge snake falling on his head.
[Kieek–!!!!]
A huge serpent-like snake twisted its body and rushed towards Namgung.
The 6th incarnation, Python.
The monster running at us was intimidating, but Namgung skillfully avoided its attacks by passing through the trees.
Ujithong…!
Kuuuuuung…!!
As the giant snake chased Namgung into the forest, the densely grown trees shattered with a loud noise due to its force.
‘I think I need to find water…’
▶ Use the Primeval Dragon’s Bracelet.
▶ Ichthyosaur Jewel is activated.
When Namgung broke his wrist, the summoned sign fish scattered in all directions.
‘Of the seven Avatars, he is the most powerful except for Hydra…’
he thought, glancing at Python who was following behind him.
‘Only the physical aspect is strong. Unlike other guys, I don’t use any special genjutsu.’
I was lucky.
Because he was the best opponent to hunt one-on-one.
“let’s go.”
Black smoke rose from beneath Namgung’s feet and Natriel appeared.
[Crook!!]
He climbed on Natriel’s back, grabbing her horns, and lightly tapped her side with his foot.
Wow…!!
Then Natriel began to run through the forest at a fast, slippery speed.
‘That way.’
With the water fish sharing the view, Namgung found a huge lake in the forest.
[Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!]
He turned his head back and looked at the Python running towards him, destroying the trees like a bulldozer, and then increased Natriel’s speed.
Paaa-!
As the densely grown trees disappeared, he felt as if his vision had become clearer.
There was a huge lake inside the forest.
Paaah-!!
Natriel jumped on top of him and boom! widely! With a sound, it began to fly, stamping its feet in the air.
[Keeeeek—!!!]
Python followed him and jumped into the lake.
Ujikkeun-!!!
At that moment, something jumped out from under the lake and bit the python on the waist.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-gang…!
The python trembled and wriggled as if in pain, and when the thick teeth embedded in its waist were pulled out, red blood poured out like a fountain from the wound.
[Crumbling….]
The blue serpent bites the stumbling Python’s neck once again.
The dragon’s teeth pierced its scales mercilessly.
“request.”
Watching the two snakes tangle, Namgung increased his speed a little more.
[Stop. Human.]
[We can’t go any further than this.]
At the point when the roar of the dragon and python intertwined was slowly decreasing, two people stood in front of Namgung.
Although they are both incarnations of snakes, their appearance was different from the Python from before.
It is not a complete snake form, but a half-human, half-animal form.
They had human-like upper bodies and snake-like lower bodies.
The stocky man with the spear was Typhon, the third incarnation, and the woman with the two dual swords was Lamia, the fourth incarnation.
“It’s been a while.”
Namgung looked at them and muttered in a low voice. But they tilted their heads as if they didn’t understand what he meant.
[Aaaaap…!!]
Typhon raised his thick spear and jumped at Namgung.
Kaang-!!
But at that moment, his attack was blocked by As. At the same time, the remaining spirit soldiers who had been summoned began to push him.
[Insolent…!!]
Typhon swung his spear while spewing harsh words at the clinging soul soldiers.
Wow-!!
With a dull sound, the soul soldiers who had been hit crumbled and disappeared on the spot.
The moment I was about to stab the spear through the soldier turned to ashes and towards another soul soldier,
it roared…!!
Black chains protruded from beneath his feet, restraining him.
Cooung-!!!
As the spirit shaman swung his staff, the chains holding him grew thicker.
▶ Soul Zone Lv 10 (maximum) is activated.
▶ Soul Enhancement Lv 10 (maximum) is activated.
▶ The abilities of all soul soldiers in the soul zone are temporarily strengthened.
▶ Duration: 15 minutes
A red soul zone was created under the feet, and black armor was created on the entire body of the soul soldiers standing on it.
It was different from the previous Ganghwa.
At the same time as reaching advanced necromancy, all skills have been raised to their maximum, and the strengthening of soul soldiers has also reached a higher level.
Phew-!!!
The soul soldiers’ swords, which had bounced off just a moment ago, pierced through Typhon’s scales.
[Ugh?!]
Typhon could not hide his embarrassment at their unexpected attack.
[Fall…!!!]
Hwaaaaagh—!!!
A gust of wind whipped around his spear blade, shaking the soul soldiers.
thud-!!
However, just before the wind attacked the spirit soldiers, As’s strengthened ax fell and cut off his arm.
[Kaaaaaaah!!!]
Typhon stepped back with a scream.
He looked at his hands on the floor with a devastated face.
[This… you bitch!!]
Typhon’s eyes turned red and the human upper body began to swell as if it would burst.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
But Namgung did not miss the opportunity.
Namgung, who went behind Typhon, climbed on his shoulders and strangled him with a chain.
[…Ouch!!]
Typhon tried harder to break free of the chain, but the more he tried, the more Namgung’s chain tightened around his neck.
[Stop…!!]
Lamia hurriedly raised her dual swords and rushed at Namgung.
The sword with the red snake symbol on it flashed.
Namgung looked at that terrible sword and gritted his teeth.
Among the seven incarnations, the most powerful monster was Hydra, but the one who killed the most people was Lamia.
‘Sword of delusion.’
The sword, which causes confusion just by touching its tip, has turned countless people into slaves who follow her orders.
The ‘suicide rain incident’, in which people all over the world who had been brainwashed by the sword jumped into the river from the bridges of each city, was a terrible thing even now.
Kwaang-!!!!
Lamia swung her sword at Namgung.
“….”
However, Namgung did not dodge the sword that flew right in front of him, but instead just pulled the chain around Typhon’s neck even harder.
[I’ll kill you!!!]
Her cries echoed through the forest.
Kwahia Ah — !!!
But that was the end.
This was because just before her sword touched Namgung, the head of a dragon summoned from the sky swallowed her whole.
Crackling –
At the same time, Namgung twisted Typhon’s head, which was wrapped in a chain.
Kuung….
Typhon’s body fell to the floor and Namgung slowly raised his head, breathing heavily.
[Crrrrr….]
When the summoned elder dragon bowed its head, he lightly tapped its forehead.
‘Now there are four.’
He poured the potion he had put in his squadron into his mouth and looked at the mountain range at the end of the forest.
I saw a coiled snake on the stairs leading up to the top carved out of the rock.
‘Ouroboros…’
The poison emanating from him was clearly felt even though he was far away.
As unique as his appearance was, the method of attacking him was also special.
“hey. Now it’s your turn.”
The unusual behavior of biting its own tail also meant that Ouroboros should not simply be dismissed as a monster.
From now on it was real.
Infinity is the mythical meaning contained in the posture of Ouroboros.
It was alchemy.
‘He can only be killed with alchemy.’
Wow…!!
As soon as Namgung’s command was given, a person wearing a robe appeared in front of him.
“Jinwei.”
[….]
The man wearing the black mask slowly nodded towards Namgung.
It was very different from when he was alive.
Unlike back then when he used a gauntlet, he was wearing black robes and holding a huge scythe.
“Aira Michel.”
And behind him, a woman wearing a robe like him was standing holding a huge hammer.
Kwaaaaang—!!!
At Namgung’s glance, Jinwei raised his scythe and rushed towards Ouroboros guarding the stairs.
Suddenly! Suddenly-!!
Every time his scythe moved, sharp wounds began to appear on Ouroboros’ scales.
[…Kieek!!]
Ouroboros began to thrash around as if in pain due to Jinwei’s attack.
* * *
[Those guys… are dead revelers, right? You said you would summon a war hero, so why are they there?]
Yor, who was looking down at the test of the Avatar, looked surprised when he saw the two people summoned by Namgung.
[Anyway, it’s an interesting thing. What kind of magic did you use to minister to them? There is no way he would follow the person who killed him.]
Yor looked at them with interesting eyes.
[Could it be…?]
At that moment, Namgung’s eyes met him, looking up as if he knew his gaze.
[Kukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… Is that so?]
Unusual weapons that are not weapons he used in his lifetime.
[They…]
Yor was able to understand how Namgung ministered to them.
[It’s an empty shell.]
