Chapter 90
Episode 90
“Ha… Haha!! Did everyone hear it? No one here can stop the monster that will come out of the fourth door. “Revelators are the most powerful people chosen by the Aspect!”
Alec growled at Namgung.
“It is true that you have stopped many monsters so far, but the nonsense of saying that only you can hunt the next monster sounds like nothing but conceit?”
“You may think so.”
“…what?”
However, despite his provocation, Namgoong had a calm expression.
“If you are confident, you can face the fourth monster. I won’t stop you. Instead, eat a lot. “The next time we meet, you will be a corpse.”
“Take this away!!”
Alec nervously struck down the meat that Namgung held out in front of him.
“I only threw away the meat that was a waste of money.”
Namgung responded to the meat that fell on the floor with a displeased expression.
“I am indeed. Why are you flying? I didn’t even ask anything. Just pick it up and eat it.”
However, at the sight of Michael picking it up and eating it as if he had been waiting, the tension that had been tense between the eight people collapsed in an instant.
“…Where did you bring this beggar from?”
When Alec shouted at Michael, who was squatting on the floor, Michael grinned and poked his neck with a chopstick.
“I used to live a little hungry. I guess everyone called Bae Dae-ji? Leaving meat in front of you. “I’m a little short. Should I try skewering your hair?”
“what? “This bastard…!!”
Kwaang-!!!!
Alec stood up and nervously kicked the drum with the grill on it towards Michael.
Kwakagaga River…!!
As the flying drum bounced on the floor and hit the wall, the remaining wall of the store collapsed.
“why? Are you really trying to stick with it?”
Crash-!!!
Alec pulled out the Star Sea Sword. No, it was right before the draw.
It’s a good … so ….
“Stop both.”
“…?!!”
The scabbard of the Star Sea Sword was frozen cold, and like the sword, Michael’s legs were also surrounded by ice.
‘Level 5 ice magic? He’s growing faster than I thought… Maybe the strongest among them isn’t Alec, but Den Howl.’
Everyone was surprised by the sudden strange phenomenon, but Namgung watched him as if he was used to it.
“I didn’t come here to fight like a bunch of immature kids. “I don’t think there’s any need to make a fuss.”
“Den Howl… Let’s disarm the spell right now. You saw it too, right? “That guy provoked me first.”
“well. If you think about it that way, I also have something to hold you responsible for. “Didn’t we all agree when we decided to return from the red zone after hearing the news of the monster invasion?”
Wince –
Alec’s shoulders trembled.
“But you went hunting the Serpent instead of returning.”
“That…”
Den’s face darkened at his words.
“That should have already been said at the press conference. It was already planned. Because it wasn’t just about stopping the monster invasion. “We have to hunt the boss in the red zone.”
At that moment, Alec quickly nodded at Namgung’s glance.
“Ma… That’s right! “If I hadn’t finished off the monsters in the red zone, we still wouldn’t have been able to block the third door!”
“Is this really planned? “Looking at us now, it doesn’t look like we’re holding hands together.”
“After all, the Revelators have to compete and kill each other. But we can always join hands when interests arise. “It’s still a meeting for that purpose.”
“….”
Den Howl looked at Namgung intently.
“Namgoong. I can’t figure out what’s on your mind. “I don’t even know why I identify myself as a regressor.”
“why?”
“If we had hidden it until the end, we could have made each other suspicious.”
However, Namgung chuckled and shook his head at Den’s words.
“Are we really going to suspect each other about who is a regressor? “Are you leaving me alone because God doesn’t know and not trying to kill me because you don’t know?”
“······.”
“There just isn’t any solid evidence so far. “It was me no matter who saw it, and I have no intention of hiding it any longer.”
“Why?”
“Only when we reveal the facts will we be able to tell the truth.”
“Hmph, I went crazy because I wanted to die.”
Alec Traman said, twitching his lips sarcastically at his words.
“Just as the Aspect ordered you to kill the Returner, one day we will end up fighting each other.”
Namgung glanced at him then turned his gaze back to Den.
“I don’t know what kind of reward the Aspect has offered to you, but… the fight between the Revelators is only possible if you are alive.”
Namgung said.
“What good is that if the world is ruined?”
“…I don’t know what kind of monster coming out of the fourth door is that people like you brought us together.”
It was definitely different from before, when he was like a maverick general.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Namgung at Den’s question.
“Demon tribe.”
But unlike other nervous people, he spoke surprisingly calmly.
“…Are you confident?”
Namgung smiled coldly.
Because it was a question I could never ask if I knew his past life.
A demon hunter who went back in time by cutting off the heads of 666666 great demons.
“of course.”
That was Namgung.

▶ Summoner Night begins.
▶ All participants are requested to obtain a summon that suits them in the red zone.
▶ Summoned beasts are your companions who will accompany you through the difficult carnival.
▶ Please make a wise choice.
▶ Caution: If you fail the contract, sometimes your summons may attack you.
“Oh… is this just the beginning?”
If the meeting of the revelers at a shabby store in the Samgak area had become known to the public, it would have been a huge issue.
“Hmm.”
However, on the night of the summons, which began before even observing the movements of the Revelators, the world began to stir in a different way.
“The red zone will be crowded for a while.”
Namgung nodded as if waiting for a notification to ring in his head.
“Myung-Hoon. You take your kids to the red zone. “I asked Roxanne in advance, so please follow her advice.”
“All right.”
Roxanne decided to help the rest of the people contract summoned animals in return for teaching them how to evolve monsters during Namgung’s contract with the dragon.
“Isn’t Somin going?”
“huh. “The day before the night of summons began, I received a call from Somin from the fairy world.”
“…Fairy world?”
When Myung-Hoon turned his gaze, So-Min, who was behind him, made a V with her fingers and said.
“yes. It is said that contractees from the fairy tribe make contracts with fairies instead of summons.”
“oh…? fairy? That’s great. He is indeed a contractor from the fairy tribe. “I’m looking forward to it.”
“Right? Hehe.”
Myung-Hoon nodded at So-Min’s words.
“A summoned person cannot sign a contract simply because he or she likes it. The process of building bonds is important. Try to approach with an open mind. Then you will definitely find the right partner for you.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Myung-Hoon responded to Namgung’s advice and quickly began to move.
“Bye.”
“yes!!”
As Myung-Hoon and the rest of the people took the portal to the red zone, the once crowded fortress became quiet.
“It’s been a while since I was alone with my dad. right.”
“I know. “It’s been quite noisy lately, hasn’t it?”
Namgung lightly stroked his daughter’s head.
“Good job.”
It was a short word, but Somin could clearly see that it contained all of her father’s intentions.
“no. “I’m glad my dad is safe.”
She snuggled into Namgoong’s arms and hugged his waist tightly.
“no. “I’m sorry, Dad, for making you carry such a heavy burden.”
“Don’t say that. Mom will be sad. Mom asked me to tell you this. “Don’t be sorry about what happened then, but rely on us a little bit.”
“…what?”
“I know what Dad is worried about. “Is it because of door number 4 that will open this time?”
“What is that…”
“Mom said? “I saw my father’s memories when he became a spirit through his necromantic magic.”
“…!!”
Namgung couldn’t help but be genuinely surprised by his daughter’s words.
“You…”
he asked in a trembling voice.
“Can you hear Mom’s voice?”

Ssaaaaagh–!!!
The moment I felt the pleasant, fragrant scent of grass, a forest with a clear sky appeared before my eyes, not a desolate city.
-I was waiting. Contractor of the World Tree.
The fairies along with the Fairy Queen knelt down in front of Somin and welcomed her.
-Summoned Night has begun. We have prepared an unborn fairy for our contractor.
Just –
she snapped her fingers, and great nobles, including Nelya, appeared carrying a large palanquin.
There were three large flower buds inside the pot, but none of them had bloomed yet and the buds were closed.
“What kind of fairies are they?”
-I don’t know either. Fairies continue to change countless times from moment to moment until they hatch from a flower bud.
“Hmm… So should we just leave it to chance?”
-If you are a contractor for the World Tree, luck will come down to intuition. Trust your intuition.
Somin looked at the flower buds in front of her and nodded with a nervous expression.
-There is plenty of time. Please do not rush and communicate slowly.
“Yes, got it.”
-Nelya. Take the flower buds to the eastern garden.
-yes. I will take you this way.
Nelya, who received the queen’s orders, bowed politely and guided Somin.
-And what’s going on with you? You probably didn’t come to sign a contract with a fairy… From what I heard, I understand that you signed a contract with a new species of serpent…
“Yes. “I came here for something separate from the night of the summoned beast.”
-It’s hard to guess what happened now. Because you blocked the third door, ignoring the advice I gave you about the red zone.
The queen smiled and said to Namgung with an expression of uncertainty.
“no. It was helpful. There are 8 Revelators, but there are 3 bases. Because those words ultimately meant a warning about the struggle for a base.”
-You already knew that.
“Because it was an opportunity that changed my expectations into confidence.”
-thank you.
The queen bowed her head in response.
“But…”
She sensed that Namgung would now tell her the real reason for coming here.
“Thanks to the end of the red zone, the fight between humans has stopped for a while, but it seems like there is a fight that hasn’t started yet.”
-A fight that didn’t start?
“Why don’t we start slowly? “The Yasha needs the heart of a giant, and the Fairy needs to find the lake that was stolen from the Naga.”
-…!!!
The queen’s expression hardened at his words.
Octagonal War.
A war in which the proxy clans will fight for power.
-To think of starting a war already when the contract has just been decided… Aren’t you tired?
She shook her head as if she had nothing to say and spoke to Namgung.
“Muhwi of the Yasha clan is sick. “To heal him, we need the heart of a titan, the leader of the giants.”
-Muhwi is sick? It seems like monsters that seem like they could easily live for a thousand years are still alive. Then I know why you came to me.
“okay. To hunt giants, you need the power of a fairy. Instead, if you help me, the giants and yakshas will help the fairies in the war against the Naga clan.”
-Are you already guaranteeing victory?
“If the fairies help me.”
-How can we help you?
“I need fairy poison.”
-I’m sorry, but I decline.
It sounded like a pretty good offer, but for some reason the queen immediately turned it down.
“Why?”
-Fairy poison is the highest level of fairy magic. Even through the power of the World Tree, the chances of success are low. To increase the odds, we need to concentrate the magic power of the fairies…
The queen sighed.
-In order to do that, you will need the power of the fairy army that protects the lake. However, if that happens, the Naga clan will not leave that empty spot alone.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
-…yes?
Sssssssssssssssss—!!!
When Namgung raised his palm, a small sphere appeared in his arms.
Sigh…!!
Like a water balloon bursting, the sphere poured out with water, and a small water dragon appeared inside it.
[Chuckling!!]
And the moment the water dragon raised its head and stuck out its tongue, the thing that was as big as the palm of your hand instantly became a gigantic serpent tens of meters long.
-…!!!
[Crrrrrrrrr…!!!]
“Because the Nagas will not be able to approach the fairy territory.”
Namgung lightly patted Yongah’s waist and spoke confidently.
