The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 218

“Mr. Namgoong!!!”

Park Hyo-joo shouted as if she was happy to see him.

“I don’t think the work is done yet. “We’ll talk after we finish.”

“yes?”

“Do your best. Hojun, the next person to appear in the article will probably be you.”

“Now wait a minute!”

Park Hyo-joo urgently shouted at Namgoong, who lightly tapped her shoulder and disappeared.

[Where are you going…!!!]

And it was the same for the queen.

“The orb has already been handed over. It’s an orb that couldn’t have been brought back if King Thunder had been alive anyway. Maybe things are better for you now. is not it?”

[….]

People who had no idea what he meant looked puzzled by his words, but the queen looked at him with a strange expression.

[Put the child down.]

At her words, Park Hyo-joo slowly placed the little boy sleeping in her arms on the floor.

It’s a huge … so ….

The rectangular ice rises from the floor and slowly supported the child who was asleep like a bed.

[Are you a druid? Seeing as he can destroy orbs, I guess he can handle spirits. It’s still only the 8th door… I never thought humans could handle high-level spirits.]

The queen said to Park Hyo-joo and Roxanne.

“She is the druid. I’m just lucky enough to be able to control spirits. “If it weren’t for her power, it would be impossible to handle a spirit like this.”

[okay? However, even with help, the ability to summon higher-level spirits is itself superior to that of most druids.]

Park Hyo-joo felt a strange feeling about the current situation while she was talking with the queen.

Until a little while ago, regardless of the reason, it was just a target to be killed.

However, when I actually talked to the queen, who I thought was a monster, there was no sense of strangeness at all.

‘Rather, it looks like a person.’

She thought as she looked down at the queen’s child taken out of the orb.

‘Why do we have to fight?’

Park Hyo-ju left her confused mind behind and spoke to the queen.

“Let me ask you one thing. “As the boss of the 8th door, do you have to kill us?”

[Yes. I keep hearing commands to kill people in my head. It’s probably a spell placed on me by the Aspects. But that’s not necessarily the reason. I will annihilate you all to avenge the Thunder King.]

“I heard what Mr. Namgung said. “As time passes and the door continues to open, dungeons lower than the difficulty level of the door will disappear.”

[So?]

“If what he said is true, King Thunder will eventually die. Of course, we have no intention of justifying the killings we did. However, if we understand each other’s positions, wouldn’t we be able to achieve better results?”

[Better results? That doesn’t sound funny. You guys who took everything from me are going to give me a better result?]

“They didn’t take everything from me. “There is still a way to save that child.”

Park Hyo-joo picked up the Thunder King’s orb left behind by Namgung.

“You can understand it well without having to hear an explanation. “The child inside the orb is dying, and the way to save him is this orb.”

“But the orb is unfinished. “To replenish the power of thunder, we need enormous natural power.”

Roxanne said while examining the orb handed to her by Park Hyo-joo.

“Gainas. It’s a pity that we met like this, but you can still be said to be a little lucky. “Rather than meeting in a past life.”

[Past life? Are you saying that nonsense too?]

“It could be nonsense. But I decided to believe that nonsense.”

[What are they talking about?]

“They said I killed your child. “Spiritual power is the only power that can destroy the children of the Thunder King and the Snow Queen.”

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss—

At that moment, the queen’s anger froze the air.

Myeong-Hoon and Ho-Jun shivered from the cold, as if they would freeze at any moment.

“But on the other hand, it also means that only elemental power can save your child. That’s what it means to be lucky. “Here are the best druids in the whole world.”

Roxanne gave strength to the orb she was holding.

Tuddeuk…

Then, surprisingly, flowers began to grow on her palms even in the bitter cold.

Thump… thump… thump….

As the queen’s child soaked in the warmth of the flower petals, her breath that had stopped slowly began to return.

[I can’t believe it. [A mere human druid…]

“He is not at all human. “Before we consider the species, this power is the life of someone who has walked the path of a druid his entire life.”

The power contained in the [Druid’s Tears] left behind by Cuhuran also made Roxanne’s heart, who used that power, cry.

‘Is this okay? ‘In the most valuable way to use your life.’

The first place he used his power was to save a monster’s child.

It was something that would have made strangers jump when they heard it, but Roxanne realized that she was now walking the path of a true druid.

“Thunder and freezing. It’s great power, but it’s actually poison to a child. “Thanks to having such great parents, it was a force too strong for this small body to take.”

Roxanne said in a low voice as she touched the forehead of the sleeping child.

“Stinging thunder and freezing ice. No amount of force can help a child breathe. “I managed to reconnect the blood vessels with the warmth of elemental magic, but it will soon be severed again.”

The orb containing the child was not intended to seal him away. It was to maintain precarious breathing as if wearing a breathing apparatus.

“The most urgent thing to save a child is to control the power of thunder. And that can be solved with this Thunder King Orb. Perhaps this was something like the king’s heart. Without his death, it cannot be obtained…”

[That does not justify the king’s murder.]

“Of course. I don’t mean to say that Namgung did a good job of killing King Ure. “It just means that as if the clockwork clicked, we were able to solve the problems we face now.”

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The King of Thunder’s beads in her hand began to emit light.

“how is it? “Negotiating with humans.”

[I am the boss of the door. I am destined to fight you guys whether I want it or not.]

“Even if that happens, the fight doesn’t have to be right now. I heard it from Namgung. Even if you don’t defeat the boss of the door, the next door will open over time. “The carnival will continue anyway.”

Roxanne looked at the queen.

“There will be enough time until the child grows up.”

[…Can you handle the King’s Orb?]

“Maybe. No, no matter what happens, I will do it. “I came here with sacrifices for that purpose.”

The queen slowly closed her eyes at her words.

The scale she was holding disappeared and the fierce snowstorm slowly began to subside.

[I will believe it. Humans.]

Roxanne smiled brightly and nodded.

Humans and monsters.

This was the first time since the carnival began that an agreement was made between the two races.

It could not have been anything other than a great achievement and the first of its kind in his entire life.

* * *

The boss of the 8th door, Snow Queen Gainas, is currently located in Antarctica, and the golems she summoned are guarding the area.

-The Association later announced that there would be no invasion by the Queen, but citizens of each country are still anxious.

-Accordingly, several countries have requested safety measures from the association.

“It will be noisy for a while.”

“It was expected. It’s a natural result. “Because people are afraid of change.”

“Among the news, there is nothing favorable about the results of this eighth inquiry. Oh, isn’t it? There is one place. Was it National Day?”

The chief secretary nodded, scrolling down the pad.

“This is reporter Han Ji-hee. Come to think of it, this person always seems to write only friendly articles about Namgoong. It would be nice to have a place sometime. “The media is also an important tool.”

“Well, the Blue House should take care of that. “Because you might get into trouble.”

“All right. “Let’s proceed without any problems.”

“Anyway, may I ask what the Snowflake Queen will do from now on?”

“Currently, personnel dispatched from the association are building a base in Antarctica. “Roxanne is trying to suppress the queen’s chill as much as possible.”

In response to Prime Minister Seo Jae-wook’s question, Park Hyo-joo answered on Namgoong’s behalf as if she had been waiting.

“The Queen’s child is being cared for in the intensive care unit at the temporary base. The association’s elementalists are focusing on the child’s treatment. “He will probably wake up soon.”

“What do you plan to do after the child wakes up?”

“What the Queen wants is for the child to be safe. And furthermore, it would be returning to the original dimension. “For this, she will not be able to refuse our requests.”

Namgung answered as if he had been waiting for his question.

“The Snowflake Queen is an excellent spirit in herself, but she is also a wizard with great magical power. “Her help will be quite helpful in blocking the remaining doors.”

“Does that mean… you will fight together with monsters?”

The Prime Minister swallowed dryly at his answer without realizing it.

[I am not a monster.]

That was then.

A pure white snowflake bloomed in front of them and slowly began to take on the appearance of a queen.

Unlike the gigantic appearance seen in Antarctica, she was similar in size to a human, but the sense of intimidation she exuded was no different.

[If even the goblins, the boss of the first gate, live by building their own world to the extent of building a castle, how can they dismiss me as just a monster?]

The queen looked at the prime minister.

“Hmm… I hope you understand my rudeness.”

The Prime Minister could not hide his embarrassed expression at her unexpected appearance.

[Even with the death of King Ure, I am grateful that you are protecting the child. I will also help block the monsters at the door until the child is healed. Perhaps… the next one would have been the incarnation of the snake.]

The queen looked at Namgung.

[The order of inquiries will probably change.]

“That’s right.”

[You’d better be careful. Changing the order of the doors means changing the rules of the carnival that were originally set.]

She said in a low voice.

[It means that the phases will intervene.]

Tung –

That was then.

When he nodded, Park Hyo-joo put something down in front of the queen.

[This is…]

The moment she saw it, the queen’s eyes trembled slightly.

“It’s what I hoped for.”

These were holy relics of great stature that were scattered during the pantheon.
