The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 58

“Ugh… It’s cold.”

When landing at Reykjavik Airport, Somin shivered in the complete winter cold, unlike the weather in Korea.

“I know. Too cold. “I hate being cold, too.”

“Your sister too?”

“huh. Haha, in weather like this, the best thing to do is cover yourself with a blanket and forget about tangerines.”

“that’s right. that’s right.”

“…Why did you follow me?”

Standing at the entrance of the airport, Namgoong frowned slightly and looked at Park Hyo-joo, who was standing next to So-min.

“Of course I have to go. They even moved a private plane, but they only sent two people there? “I also have to have a reason to report to the top.”

“I’m good? “Because I’m going with my sister.”

“right? me too!”

Since it was only men, Somin seemed happy to have Park Hyo-joo by her side.

“Do whatever you feel like. “I don’t know whether I can get in there or not anyway.”

“But where should I go now?”

“Svinafelsjökull. “The glacier is about a four-hour drive from here.”

“Then shall I rent a car?”

“no. There’s no need for that. “I already called the guide.”

“Namgoong!!”

It was then.

“You’re alive! Well, I thought you would definitely be alive. The world is in chaos. is not it?”

A large jeep stopped at the entrance to the airport, and a large black man who seemed to be twice the size of Namgoong smiled brightly and hugged his shoulder.

“Wow… this is my first time seeing Namgoong look so small. “Even Jang Gil-soo can’t compare, right?”

Park Hyo-joo looked at the man and shook her head.

“oh! Somin? I can’t believe it’s already this big. “I only heard that you were going to be born!!”

The man put down the Namgoong he was holding and hugged Park Hyo-joo.

“…My daughter is this child. Wicker Man.”

“huh?”

When Namgoong responded with a sigh as if he was annoyed, he alternately looked at Park Hyo-joo and So-min, who were hugging him, with blank faces.

“Hahaha sorry. sorry. “Because she’s a cute girl.”

He scratched his head and laughed heartily, extending his hand to Park Hyo-joo.

“Please forgive my rudeness. “It’s called a moose.”

He lowered his arms to his waist and bowed politely. Park Hyo-joo looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“mousse. Let’s go without doing anything inappropriate. “Because I don’t have time.”

“good! Let’s go. “I will take care of the princess.”

“Kwaaaah?!”

Moose lifted Somin up and made her sit on his shoulder, then smiled brightly and walked towards the parked jeep.

“Who is that big guy again?”

“When I was in Unit 711, I helped with operations, so we became connected.”

Namgoong answered Park Hyo-joo’s question.

“Originally he was in the British Special Forces… but after being called up, he is now Wicker Man.”

“Wicker Man? what is that?”

“It means a human-shaped structure used by ancient druids when performing human sacrifices… but now it just means a priest who performs the ritual. “It is a title given to only one person.”

“This human sacrifice?”

“Hey Namgoong! Don’t surprise the young lady with useless talk. Because druids no longer kill.”

Moose opened the door of the jeep, took Somin in, and said to Namgung, waving his finger.

“Your ears are also bright.”

Namgung shrugged his shoulders and muttered.

“Well… at best, that guy and Cuhuran are the only druids left.”

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

of the jeep the group was in began to speed up roughly.

* * *

“It’s been a while. Namgung.”

“You don’t seem to be old at all. “Even though it’s been 10 years, it’s still the same face.”

After traveling for a long time by car, the group arrived across a huge glacier called Swinafellsjökull, and there was an incongruous barracks.

Inside the barracks, which had a round ceiling like a ger, a traditional Mongolian house, there was a warmth that instantly melted away the cold of the glacier.

However, it was not simply the heat obtained from lighting a fire.

‘The air is different.’

Park Hyo-joo looked around the barracks with the strange feeling of being in another space.

“Laughs… When you think about the years you’ve lived, 10 years isn’t a big deal. “The distance between the return receipt, the invoice, and the grave is at most one step.”

“Even if you say that, you’ll still be alive 10 years from now. you are.”

“I? How do you know? “You speak as if you have seen my life.”

Creepy –

At that moment, the eyes of the old man, who was sitting with his back bent, sparkled.

The moment Park Hyo-joo saw it, her body trembled lightly without realizing it.

“saw. I lived 25 years longer than I do now. I’m actually from the future. You are still alive 10 years later. After that, the Druid’s barrier is broken and he becomes a sacrifice to the Wicker Man, and his limbs are burned.”

“Cough!”

Park Hyo-joo cleared her throat in surprise at Namgung’s answer.

“Am I a sacrifice to the Wicker Man? Hey… I was curious too. “I wonder how great it would be if a druid himself became a ritual sacrifice.”

“Not really. There was nothing great about it. As written in the druid’s spell, Cuhuran’s heart contains the tears of a druid.”

Cuhuran was the name of the druid in front of me, but it was also not a name. Because it was also a position referring to the highest rank of druid.

The old man in front of me was the one who carried on Cuhuran’s name.

“also! I guess I also neglected my training. “The tears of a druid are made.”

He clapped his hands happily and laughed.

“What are druid tears? Is it like a high priest’s relic? Or rather, are you believing that nonsense right now?”

Park Hyo-joo frowned at his reaction and whispered to Namgung.

“You’re a time traveler? I really think that guy is in his right mind….”

“Haha, sister.”

Somin looked embarrassed at her words, not knowing what to say.

“It’s just a joke. It’s a joke. My dream was to die the druid style. “I brought guests in and didn’t even serve tea.”

Cuhuran chuckled and lifted the tea cup boiling in the brazier inside the barracks.

“A awning made of razor-leaf leaves. It must have been cold on the way through Swinäfellsjökull. “It will warm your body.”

When they received the steaming tea, the two drank it as if they had been waiting.

“Now let’s talk a little deeper.”

Kuhuran, who was looking at the two, said to Namgung. The moose picked up the two people who had already fallen asleep and placed them where there was a blanket.

“There is still a long way to go. “The so-called National Intelligence Service agent is so careless.”

“Laughs, understand. Because the Druid’s space makes you feel warm. “Ordinary training is not enough.”

“Still, you have to be suspicious. “You drink the tea without checking whether it is poisoned or not.”

Whoop –

Namgung picked up the tea cup in front of Kuhuran, took a sip of the tea, and put it down.

“The world is scary, so sometimes you need rest. By the way, your daughter has grown up very beautifully. “You look like your wife.”

“I take it as a compliment.”

“It’s a compliment. “If I were like you, it would be rough.”

“A man who can’t even see is good at evaluating other people’s faces.”

“Cluck… Now answer me. Who burned me and took the druid’s tears? “Maybe it’s Roxanne?”

Surprisingly, Kuhuran did not seem to doubt the story of Namgung’s return.

“that’s right. your granddaughter “Now that your children are dead, you are the only direct lineage other than yourself with any remaining Celtic blood.”

“Then she must also be one of the Eight Revelators. So, you were also a revelator?”

“It wasn’t like that in my previous life. “But now he has become a revealer.”

Kuhuran nodded slowly in response.

“It’s the path of the usurper… That’s why the wisps were so upset. So, what kind of present are you trying to change?”

“Nothing much. “I have already changed the present and I am just trying to protect the changed present.”

“It’s your daughter.”

“indeed.”

Namgung intuitively realized that there was no need to elaborate on his insight.

“Cuhuran will protect you from Roxanne. “Would you like to make a deal with me?”

“That’s it. Asking someone else to protect you from your granddaughter? “That is absolutely ridiculous.”

He shook his head.

“Wait a minute…”

In response to his response, Namgung called out to him with a puzzled expression unlike before.

“It seems like Namgung of the world is also my father. Don’t worry too much. Because the future of druids is not about changing, but about adapting.”

Kuhuran spoke to him.

“Your coming here will also be a part of the future. “It means that we will help you even if you don’t make a deal.”

Cuhuran nodded and led his heavy body towards the place where the two people were lying.

“The person who needs my help is probably your daughter.”

Saaaaaak –

When he placed his hand on Somin’s forehead, surprisingly, pure white smoke rose from his empty hand.

“Two souls in one body…”

Kuhuran nodded and rubbed his chin.

“I’m glad the soul inside the child’s body is friendly. It’s too powerful for a child to use. You’re lucky. “It was a dangerous thing that, if I did something wrong, I could lose her.”

Saaagh –

the color of the rising smoke changed once again.

“It was the spirit of the child’s mother.”

Namgung nodded at his words.

“Is there a way?”

“The most important thing is to strengthen the child’s body first, but that can only be done with time. “How about you protect the child until then?”

“You probably heard it too. “A proxy auction.”

“Are you planning on participating there?”

“that’s right. I’m going to compete with Somin. I can’t avoid it forever. Because the situation will continue to become more difficult in the future. Because one day there may come a moment when I cannot protect you.”

“There is one way.”

Cuhuran answered as if he understood.

“What is that?”

“If we can’t strengthen the vessel right away, we’ll have to find the answer in our soul. “The reason this child’s body is under strain is because the two souls are using their power together.”

As he waved his hand in the air, the rising smoke formed a shape.

“A strong force gives a stronger load. So, to reduce the load on your body, you can turn two souls into one when using magic.”

“Combining souls? “That is absolutely not possible!!”

“Don’t worry. “I don’t mean to make the two souls disappear.”

Cuhuran raised his finger and drew a circle, and the smoke began to swirl rapidly.

“Water and oil do not mix, but if you stir vigorously, they appear to mix for a brief moment. “That’s how you create your daughter’s soul.”

Sssshhhh…!!!

The smoke billowed fiercely.

“If the souls can instantly become one when using the Maelstrom ability, there will be less strain on the child’s body.”

“Is that possible?”

“If you train under me for about three years… it won’t be easy, but it will be possible.”

“3 years? It’s taking too long. “We only have less than a week left.”

“Hehe, the Druid’s vision that took a long time to be created in just one week? “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Kuhuran burst into laughter at Namgung’s answer.

“…Are you serious?”

“If you weren’t serious, you wouldn’t have brought your daughter.”

“Hmm…”

He felt that Namgung’s eyes were filled with both worry and confidence.

“okay. I think I’m paying off my debt to you. “I will do the best I can.”

“…Thank you.”

When Namgung received Kuhuran’s permission, he let out a low sigh as if the tension was relieved.

Although I didn’t show it, my heart sank when I heard that my daughter was in danger.

“by the way. This girl you brought with you. “Has this lady also come with me to train me?”

But even for a moment, Kuhuran tilted his head as if he was puzzled and asked Namgung.

“hmm? no. She is a National Intelligence Service agent. “He was just following me as a surveillance vehicle.”

“Hmm… Doesn’t this young lady also have spiritual powers?”

“that’s right. “I can use telekinesis.”

At that moment, Kuhuran looked at Namgung as if he were dumbfounded.

“Telekinesis? “You have such deep spiritual waters and yet you only have such talent!”

“What does that mean?”

“Spiritual sea does not simply mean the soul, but the depth of the soul. In other words, it means the depth of the soul.”

He spoke in a voice full of reverence.

“I have never seen a water this deep before. I don’t know about you, but…”

The trembling sound of a low voice struck Namgung’s ears.

“The wisps are swirling around her now.”
