Chapter 220
Episode 220
[Honestly, I’m surprised. I didn’t expect such a stupid auction to work.]
“I’m doing it because I know it’s stupid. “I console myself by saying I am not a fool.”
Namgung looked at the Noble Phantasms taken out by the Aspects and spoke in a low voice.
“It’s funny. “Whether it was done by a fool or a non-fool, the action is ultimately a foolish thing.”
[So who will you choose?]
Yor asked with an excited expression, as if he was anticipating Namgung’s decision.
“Well, the status of building the temple was actually decided from the beginning. “My answer is this.”
Yor looked at the relic Namgung had chosen and looked at him in surprise.
[You don’t really like this guy, do you?]
“It doesn’t matter whether I like it or not. “Because the most useful status in attacking the carnival is someone doing it.”
[Hmm….]
“And unlike other Revelators, he is qualified to speak confidently to his status.”
[I see.]
Yor nodded slowly.
* * *
“Are you telling me to… finish the pantheon?”
“okay. Even if you finish it, you probably won’t be able to get the pantheon’s rewards separately. However, you can summon the temple of ‘Observer of the Sun and Moon’. “Your strength will grow stronger, and you will be able to gather more followers.”
Alek Traman looked at the completed artifact with the sun and moon carved into it, with a perplexed expression.
“How about you do it instead? “Honestly, you are the real winner of the pantheon.”
“Each power of status has its own characteristics. The power of the seven snakes is powerful, but just because there are more of them does not mean it is good. But your strength is different.”
Namgoong looked at Alec.
“Your status would have granted you a second benefit.”
“How do you know that? “Did you ask Sang Sang a favor?”
“It wasn’t a request, but we resolved it in a good way.”
“It’s even scarier when you say it like that.”
Alec burst out laughing as if he was dumbfounded by his answer.
“The second ability you acquired is Gwangwol. It is the power to copy an ability and give it to many people for a certain period of time. Am I right?”
“You know me well.”
“If you build a temple and gather saints, it may not be perfect, but they will be able to use power similar to your light moon.”
“Maybe so.”
“That’s exactly what I want. Gwangwol turns ordinary people into capable people. Right now we don’t have enough people to fight. “You and your saints, who have the power of the light moon, will turn ordinary people into fighters.”
“Isn’t this too dangerous? “Suddenly fighting for people who haven’t received proper training.”
Namgung shook his head at his words.
“It was like that in my past life. Because it was so terrible that everyone, regardless of age or gender, had to fight. But it’s different now. “When I say ordinary people, I am referring to those who have been trained like soldiers but do not have the ability.”
“Hmm….”
“Unless it is a unique characteristic of the Revelator, such as Park Hyo-joo’s telekinesis or So-min’s magic, it will be possible to copy it through Gwangwol.”
“The idea is to create a kind of army of talented people.”
“that’s right. As was the case when attacking Gainas, even highly trained soldiers such as the Chamak Unit were clearly inferior to units made up of the Association’s talented members. “Even though their combat experience and physical abilities are far superior.”
“I understand now what you mean. good. “Let me summon the temple as you say.”
“I’ll leave it to you to gather the people.”
Alec, who has a sun neck and moon eyes, nodded with a confident expression.
“By the way, you haven’t talked to Somin yet? “Will I be able to use it if I continue to avoid it when I become a father?”
“…I’m not really avoiding it. “I had a lot of work to do, so it just happened to be postponed.”
“That’s what I avoided.”
Namgung clenched his fist tightly, feeling like he wanted to punch Alec for teasing him.
“How did you know?”
“I heard it from Roxanne. “I met him to participate in the Gainas War, but he was rejected.”
“Ah…”
“Honestly, people are talking a lot about this snowflake queen annihilation battle. I’m saying that none of the revelators helped. “Actually, you ordered it.”
“There will be battles everywhere in the future. There will be more fights without a Revelator. “It’s preparation for him, but… I can’t explain it in detail.”
“that’s right. In the end, all you have to do is show the results.”
Alec stood up, putting the holy object in his arms.
As he was about to leave the room, he turned his head and looked at Namgung as if he remembered something.
“by the way. “Erica told me a strange story.”
“What?”
“Not only me, but all the Revelators have gained the benefits they deserve next. “It’s a happy thing to gain new strength, but it’s also an unsettling thing.”
“You’re using your precognitive abilities for useless purposes.”
“no. This is just my guess. “Because you can know enough even if you don’t have the ability to foresee.”
Alec’s voice sank a little.
“What did Erica say?”
“They said that the upcoming carnival will unfold differently from what we knew.”
“okay. “I’m sure so.”
“And…”
“The damn festival will end.”
“Carnival will end.”
When they said the same thing at the same time, the two people looked at each other with surprised expressions.
“Are you sure?”
“okay. I’ve been playing for too long. Because now it’s time for everyone to go home. Erica’s foresight is also worth using. “But don’t get excited.”
“Keep that in mind.”
With those words, Alec left the room.
“….”
He just walked down the hallway without saying anything.
“uh? When did you come? “Couldn’t you have told me something?”
And at the end of the hallway, Alec ran into Myung-Hoon coming down the stairs.
“And you?”
“The Snow Queen’s child woke up a little while ago. So, I want to report it to you.”
“You’ve had a lot of trouble.”
“Of course it has to be done.”
“Do it the same way. “What kind of respect is this that doesn’t suit you?”
“He is the president of the association in name, but he can’t do that to the revelator anymore. Besides, isn’t he my swordsmanship teacher?”
Alec chuckled at Myung-Hoon’s words.
“What is it about the teacher… So, are you continuing to sharpen your sword? “It looks like he got a new sword after he ate my sword.”
“Haha… Thanks to you, I feel a little better. “I am participating in the hunt, but I am letting go for now because I have a lot of work to do due to the Snow Queen’s treatment.”
“Unless you are greedy for power and want to enter politics, do not give up training. A warrior must raise his sword. “The moment I pick up the pen, it becomes rusty.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“You are one of Namgung’s most trusted colleagues. “You have to stay by his side when something happens.”
“Protect your brother? “Someone like me would only be a hindrance to you.”
Myung-Hoon smiled awkwardly at his words and scratched his head.
“Anyway, I’m always next to him. More often than family. “Don’t pass that role on to your daughter.”
“More than family?”
Myung-Hoon looked at Alec as if he didn’t understand, but after saying those words, he just walked away with a low sigh.
“…what?”
Myeong-Hoon was puzzled by his appearance, which was different from his usual appearance.
But if he had seen Alec’s face when he turned his head, he wouldn’t have let him go like that.
“….”
After leaving the castle, Alec looked around.
This place, which is connected to the tower, has now grown to the point where it is no exaggeration to say it is a city.
“Nangung Erica’s prophecy was not just that the festival would end soon.”
Step by step – step by step –
he started walking again where he had stopped.
‘The carnival would end with your life.’
The power of the Revelator is great, but he is not omnipotent.
I could tell that just by looking at myself.
‘I hope her prediction is wrong.’
Therefore, Alec decided to put some hope into it.
* * *
▶ The day of light begins.
▶ The power of monsters summoned from the three doors that will open in the future will be weakened.
▶ The temple of the watcher of the sun and moon has been confirmed.
▶ The power of the Day of Light becomes stronger.
▶ Due to the Grace of Aspect, additional benefits are applied while the three doors are open.
When Alek Traman built a temple in London, a white light rang out and alerted people all over the world.
▶The amount of goods that can be obtained in all dungeons increases and the level of weapons that can be obtained increases.
▶ The amount of heads that can be obtained from hunted monsters increases.
▶ Some of the abilities of all participants increase.
That wasn’t all.
▶ An era of cheers begins.
▶ The afternoon monsoon blows.
▶ The excitement of the blacksmith shop rises.
Starting with the watchers of the sun and moon, the benefits of the phases that preside over the carnival began to accrue one after another.
For the first time, the whole world cheered for the full power of the festival, befitting its name.
-It has been reported that the Universe Clan, led by Alek Traman, will challenge the dungeon ‘Footprints of the Giants’ created in Berlin.
-Citizens are relieved as Ninagawa Erika’s prediction that 90% of the world’s dungeons will be destroyed while the three doors are opened has been announced.
-The governments of each country promised to collect as many heads as possible while receiving the benefits of the status and to restore the destroyed cities.
-It is reported that the reconstruction team of the global coalition NSET will build shelters in each city. It appears that preparations are being made for the airstrikes that will begin after the end of the three gates.
[It’s a giant’s footprint… It’s a dungeon that existed in our time too. I was in charge of a fairly troublesome dungeon.]
Lathea, who was listening to the news reported in the media, said while looking at the dungeon taken from the sky above Berlin.
[Contrary to the name, the monsters summoned in the dungeon are gnomes. You know it too. Those little monsters. Individual abilities are not that great, but when they come together, they are a troublesome group.]
“Well, Alec will be able to attack them without any problems. I was successful in my previous life too. “The timing is different, but since we are receiving the benefits of the temple, any shortcomings will be filled.”
[You said you had a strategy? Then, do you know what reward you can get from the giant’s footprints?]
“Of course.”
Latea frowned slightly at Namgung’s answer.
[You gave in knowing that? It’s really the style that takes care of the enemy.]
“A gnome crafted shield that can be obtained from the giant’s footprints. “There is no monster that can pierce that shield until the 15th boss.”
[okay. It’s not often that armor comes out of a dungeon. How can you so easily give up the few items that can guarantee safety to someone else?]
“That’s not a concession. “It’s the minimum qualifications to see the end of the festival.”
[…Qualifications?]
“It’s a carnival. “Festivals are fun when we are together, but wouldn’t it be a shame if we couldn’t participate because we don’t have the qualifications to participate?”
[What does that mean?]
Latea tilted her head as if she didn’t understand Namgung’s words.
“It is not always a good thing that the benefits of all statuses are opened at the same time. That’s the same as saying that the benefits of status that should be gained in stages end at the same time.”
Namgung spoke in a low voice.
“It may be strong right now, but there is a limit to how much it can grow in the current situation. In fact, the later you receive the benefits of status, the better. “As the number of inquiries increases, the monster becomes stronger.”
[yes. After the 10th door, the monster’s basic abilities are greatly enhanced. But isn’t that why you got the benefit?]
Lathea asked back.
[Even if it is good to use the benefits in the latter half of the game, it is only possible if there are survivors.]
“It’s not wrong, but…”
Namgung said, turning off the monitor.
“If I give an ant armor, can it beat an elephant? I didn’t do this to make ordinary people stronger.”
[So?]
Tuk―
He put down the remote control and stood up.
“It’s so I can become stronger.”
