Chapter 86
Episode 86
“…Catch it!!”
At the same time as Alec Traman shouted, Hanson and Johanna threw Serpent’s chains to block his movements.
However, it seemed like it was not enough for the two of them to tie up the huge serpent.
[Keeeeee!!]
As if to prove it, the serpent shook to free the chains wrapped around his body.
“Ugh!!”
Even the big man Hanson stumbled and was shaken by the guy’s defiance.
“Blessed be you. Agnus.”
▶ The abilities of the caster’s friendly characters increase.
But at that moment, a cluster of sparkling lights appeared around the two people, and the light was absorbed into their bodies.
Kkkdeudeudeuk…!!
Then, the chain strongly pulled the body of the rampaging serpent.
Unlike before, when it was shaking, it was unable to resist and trembled.
“Go beyond standards. Ipsissimus.”
▶ Grants the attributes of friendly characters to the caster.
Grumbling…!!!
Hanson and Johanna’s hands sparkled. The flame traveled through the chain that bound the serpent and attached itself to him.
[Keeeeeeee!!!]
Serpent screamed as if in pain.
If it had been a regular flame, it would have had no effect, let alone harmed a guy with water attributes.
However, the flames shooting up the chain were not a simple attribute.
▶ Holy attribute power is granted for 1 minute.
▶ Holy power effect activated!!
▶ The power of the Holy God ignores all resistance of the opponent and delivers an effective blow with the most opposing force.
“Now!!!”
At the same time as Eira Michel shouted, Alec Traman drew the Star Sea Sword.
Tsuzuzuzu…!!
Sharp sparks flew from his blade and a pure white aura erupted.
Grumbling…!!
At the same time, Eira’s holy power seeping into the aura caused his sword to begin to turn golden.
“Hwaaaap!!!!”
A sword coming out of the scabbard.
The intense sword energy pierced the serpent’s neck exactly.
▶ The serpent has been defeated!
“Good!!!”
As the giant monster’s head fell, Alec raised his fist and shouted, as if resolving the resentment he had not been able to achieve in Yeouido.
“That’s amazing. “How many people can cut off the serpent’s head in one fell swoop?”
“I was rather surprised. Not only can you use excellent recovery abilities, but you can also use such incredible buffs. “There are a few auxiliary awakeners in the clan, but the Revelator is truly different.”
Alec said, looking at Eira.
“How about joining our clan at this time? “If you don’t want to belong, an alliance relationship would be good.”
“Let’s think about it later. “Isn’t it important to check the compensation first?”
Eira responded to his suggestion with a strange smile. Although it was said indirectly, it was a clear refusal.
‘As expected, he’s not an easy opponent.’
Alec nodded and looked at her intently.
‘If we’re on the same side, it’s great, but if we become enemies, we’ll be the most troublesome enemy along with that damn bastard Namgung.’
But I still wasn’t worried.
At least Aira Michel definitely had a strong scent of the same type.
“Now then, where…”
Satisfying his appetite, Alec placed his hand on the reward box dropped by the Serpent.
It was then.
▶ The boss monster in the red zone has been defeated.
▶ The boss monster of the continent invasion has been defeated.
▶ All boss monsters have been defeated.
“…uh?”
A red notification suddenly appeared in the sky.
Alec’s hand that was trying to open the reward box stopped for a moment, and everyone present looked up at the sky.
▶ The third festival has ended.
“The third door is over? That can’t be possible…”
Alec looked at Eira with a puzzled expression for a moment, but she was just as confused.
After hunting the Serpent, the next monster, the Orc, had to be summoned.
▶ Compensation will be given to all survivors.
▶ 2000 heads have been paid.
However, looking at the heads presented in front of them, I was able to realize that the strategy for the third door was truly over.
“Even if it’s like that here… who on earth stopped the invasion of monsters summoned to the continent?”
Eira urgently asked him.
“How could I know…”
“Pretending not to know. “You probably already have someone in mind.”
Alec, who was trying to evade, hurriedly turned his head when he heard a voice coming from behind him.
“…!!!”
His frown crumpled when he saw the face of a man walking out of the forest.
“Choi Myung-hoon? “When did you…” “
When did you…?” I came in as soon as the portal in the red zone opened. “Like anyone else, I didn’t waste time trying to attract all the public attention, whether it was a press conference or something.”
“How dare you steal my prey by hiding like a rat? “You’re just like that bastard Namgung who does such mean things!!”
Kwaaang-!!
At that moment, a sharp lightning strike struck Alec’s feet.
“Say it again. “What about my dad?”
“….”
Crackling…! It’s so crazy…!!
Alec kept his mouth shut as he watched the red sparks continue to race across the black, burnt ground.
‘Red Lightning… That kid was the one who blew off the Serpent’s scales during Yeouido. ‘You said she was Namgung’s daughter?’
He glared at Somin.
‘It’s not ordinary magic power. It seems like a special quality… but the weapon he’s holding is also unusual.’
Alec recalled hearing a report that Somin had become a contractor for the fairy tribe.
‘It’s becoming a nuisance.’
For a moment, I thought about wiping it out right here and there.
“Alec. “There is an ambush around.”
Hearing Hanson’s words, he quietly looked around.
‘…maybe two.’
A subtle pretense of popularity.
Although he didn’t seem to have received any professional training, he could clearly feel the arrow aiming at him.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
“This bastard…”
At Hojun’s words, Hanson jumped forward one step and growled at him.
“done. Hanson.”
Alec shook his head.
“It’s nothing we can’t handle, but there are a lot of eyes watching.”
He held Hanson’s shoulder and whispered lowly.
“Because of Eira? “By the time we caught the serpent, she was on the same boat anyway.”
“That’s why.”
“…hmm?”
Hanson frowned slightly as if he didn’t understand what he was saying.
‘It doesn’t matter if it’s an enemy. Just kill me and that’s it. But it’s different when you become a colleague.’
The smell of the same kind that comes from her.
If they were to be dealt with here, Aira Michel would definitely use it as a weakness at any time.
▶ Due to the death of the boss, the difficulty of the red zone has been frozen as of now.
▶ 3 days later, only two types of monsters will be summoned to the red zone: goblins and lizardmen.
Sssssssssssssssss—!!!
At the same time as the notification, a blue portal opened in front of them to return to the continent.
▶ Congratulations!!
▶ Special benefits will begin for participants who survive until the third door.
▶ 3 days later, [Night of Summoned Beasts] will begin in the red zone. Participants, don’t miss the opportunity to gain a trustworthy partner to follow you.
‘Not only is the red zone not enough, but the outside boss is also taken away… You’ve become a dog chasing chickens.’ It was impossible to go back
like
this without any harvest. Alec gritted his teeth unconsciously as he stared at the portal.
“Did you see it? “Thanks to you guys hunting bosses as you please, high-level monsters no longer appear in the red zone.”
‘Now that it’s like this, I have no choice but to blame everything on those guys.’
He shouted at Myung-Hoon’s group.
“Why did we hunt the Serpent without returning? That was to prepare to deal with the orcs that would be summoned when the next door opened. But this all went wrong because of you guys!”
However, Hojun, who was listening to him, actually snorted.
“hey. You know that even if you say it, it doesn’t sound like words, right? What’s wrong with these people who are so blinded by compensation that they pretend not to notice that people are dying? Where do you sell drugs? sudden!”
He stretched out his index and middle fingers and pointed them at Alec as if stabbing him.
“…When you go back, you will pay the price for your incompetent actions.”
“well. “Is that so?”
Myung-Hoon said to Alec, who was trying to go through the portal.
“Because I don’t know how people work. Who knows, when we go back, we’ll be smiling and putting our arms around each other’s shoulders?”
“You’re saying all kinds of crazy things.”
Alec was about to throw his middle finger at Myung-Hoon, but he glanced at Eira and pushed himself into the portal.
* * *
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…
As I entered the portal, the light that filled my vision disappeared.
Alec slowly opened his eyes at the same time.
Flash! Flash-!!
click! click! click! click!!!!
Even though the portal light had disappeared, the dazzling light struck his eyes.
Alec instinctively turned his head.
Wow—!!!
Wow–!!
Alec opened his eyes to the sound of a roar that seemed to tear his eardrums.
“…!!!”
At that moment, his eyes were shaken by the countless people surrounding him.
“Mr Alek Traman! Welcome back!! I’m a TMC reporter!! “Please say something!”
“This is reporter Jeong Tae-young of JoongAng Bodo!! I heard that it was Alek Traman who hunted the boss in the red zone. Is that correct?
“What is it?”
Hanson and Johanna, who returned together, were equally embarrassed.
‘…Where is here?’
The reporters who flocked in were also reporters, but in the unfamiliar scenery, Alec tried to check his location first.
However,
“According to Namgung’s interview, it was said that a prior arrangement had already been made in preparation for a monster invasion!”
“…yes?”
“You said this was all a pre-planned diversionary operation. “The plan worked out exactly. How do you feel?”
Looking at the reporters surrounding him, Alec swallowed his saliva instinctively.
Waaaaaa—!!
At that moment, shouts were heard again.
Chin –
A hand coming up on one’s shoulder.
‘No way…’
He frowned and looked back.
“you’re right. Alec Traman has just succeeded in conquering the red zone. “This operation would have been impossible without his outstanding skills.”
“···What are you?”
“My name is Ham Man-su, Chief of Staff at the Blue House.”
“No, I mean…”
Alec frowned and looked around, as if he didn’t understand what was going on, as he looked at the chief secretary who smiled and offered to shake his hand.
‘···Choi Myung-hoon. ‘What are you doing?’
Alek Traman turned around and spoke with his mouth closed so that no one could see him.
“I didn’t even know about this. It seems that the portal in the red zone leads to the place where the boss of the invading monsters died.”
“Then…”
Alec frowned at Myung-hoon’s answer.
“that’s right. This is Korea. “Alec.”
“…!!”
The low voice heard at that time silenced the noisy area.
“It’s Namgung!!”
“Turn the camera over!! “Hurry up and take a picture!!”
The shouts of those who had been silent at the sound of shouts coming from somewhere began to roar again.
“Stay back!! “Get back!!”
“Please increase the distance!!”
Alec gritted his teeth as he looked at Namgoong walking out from the crowd of people rushing from side to side like the Red Sea parting.
“Good work.”
Alec caught a glimpse of Namgoong’s hand reaching out to him and glared at him.
“You… what on earth are you doing?”
I couldn’t figure out what happened.
But instead of answering, Namgoong pulled Alec’s hand and held it tightly.
“This is… ah…”
Alec shook off his handshake and tried to shout, but trailed off.
click-! click-!!!
Dozens or hundreds of cameras fired flashes at them all at once.
“There are many eyes watching.”
Namgoong’s voice whispering in Alec’s ear.
“Just smile first.”
He had a hunch.
Even if something goes wrong, it is definitely wrong.
