The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 228

[Don’t go.]

Namgung slowly opened his eyes to the voice ringing in his head.

An unfamiliar space that is not your own room.

But on the other hand, it was also an unfamiliar space.

“It’s been a while since I was trying to get some sleep, but I can’t believe I woke someone up like this. “You know how long it’s been since I’ve been in bed.”

This was because there was only one person who would invite him to the empty, pitch-black room.

“Yor.”

[A potion is enough to restore the body through a good night’s sleep. If you want, I can buy you a top-quality one.]

“What I need is not physical recovery, but mental recovery. The recovery of the world’s strongest person is a matter directly related to the survival of humanity. At least the reward should be legendary level.”

[Seeing as he was joking, I guess it’s worth buying now, right?]

Namgung chuckled as he answered with a pouty expression as if he didn’t like it.

“What is the reason you came?”

[You just said that. Don’t go.]

“Where?”

[Where are you? I’m talking about the fortress of Wu.]

Yor clicked his tongue and said in response to Namgung’s mischievousness of making him point out again, even though he knew everything.

[You met Ran, right? Damn top bastard… he’ll be quietly locked up in the tower. It was pointless.]

“You knew from the beginning, right? “If he wants to, he can reveal himself to us regardless of the seal.”

[Well… that’s because of the status.]

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

[Because it’s discipline. The status of the beginning is dangerous. They are people that even we cannot easily control. The less they show up to the world, the better.]

“But you want the carnival to disappear.”

[Me?]

Yor burst out laughing at Namgung’s words.

[Carnival has a huge history. It is also an opportunity for not only humans but also life at countless levels to develop and evolve. I don’t want the carnival to disappear.]

“Otherwise, why are you helping me? You would know. “I intend to aim my sword at you Aspects.”

[Of course I know. Looking at what you’ve done so far, it’s even weirder that you don’t know anymore.]

Yor sighed softly.

[From your perspective, Carnival is nothing more than the worst invasion, but from the perspective of the dimension, Carnival is nothing more than a flow.]

“But? “Why are you helping me?”

[It’s not the carnival that I don’t need, it’s our status. Also, the reason you are aiming your sword is not at the carnival itself, but at the status.]

“It means that even if I get rid of you, the carnival will not disappear.”

[that’s right. As I said before, the gods passed down through human history are also figures of the past. The fact that they remain is proof that the carnival has been repeated over and over again, and it also means that you have been able to develop because of it.]

“Is humanity developing because of the carnival? Don’t be funny. “Humans have developed through human power.”

[This is not about arguing whether each other’s thoughts are right or wrong. I was just stating my position.]

“Well… okay. The common thought is that the status should disappear. Of course, you haven’t forgotten that you are also on that list, right?”

[of course. Do whatever you want without hesitation. But I won’t die easily. Maybe I can kill you for being insolent.]

“That would be fun too. “I always wondered how strong the master of the seven snakes was.”

[Crazy guy.]

Yor said that and somehow smiled as if he was in a good mood.

[I was so happy at the thought of hanging out with you that I ended up talking somewhere else. Actually, there is something else I need to say.]

“Are you telling me not to go to Wu’s fortress? “That means nothing to me right now.”

[Did you hear from Ran what was in that fortress?]

“I heard that there is a tool that can strengthen the status.”

[Perhaps it refers to an outer cloak. The two weapons created when Ran and Wu were born.]

“I know you well.”

[But didn’t he say that? Once you put that cape on, you can never take it off again.]

“What do you mean you can’t take it off again?”

[Literally. If you wear an invincible cloak, you can contain the power of the phase within your body. What would happen if I kept wearing the cloak in that state?]

“I guess I’ll have to keep holding my divine power in my body.”

[Mugu eventually becomes worn out over time. Even if it is a relic from the beginning, it is no different. No, rather, it would not be surprising if a cloak that old was reduced to ashes in an instant.]

Yor pointed to Namgung.

[The divine power within your body remains the same, but what if the cloak that protected your body disappears?]

“….”

[Judging by the expression on your face, it seems like you fully understand. Yes, the cloak is literally like a time bomb that is slowly burning out. I will lend you my strength.]

“It doesn’t matter. “If it’s necessary to open the fortress’s door, you should do it.”

[Fool… No matter how much you are my revealer, if you borrow the power of the seven snakes, that power will eventually aim for your life.]

“You just have to get the reward of the Octagon War before that. “Once you gain the power of the Aspect, there is no need to fear the power of the Aspect.”

[You want to gamble.]

Namgung smiled bitterly at his words.

“It was all a gamble for me from the beginning.”

[Then I understand that too. You may be able to open the door to Wu’s fortress, but you cannot accept his power.]

“….”

[In the end, your daughter will have to inherit Wu’s power. Are you planning to gamble with the life of the daughter you tried so hard to save?]

“That’s none of your business.”

[Woke up !!]

Kwahiah

At that moment, Yor roughly slapped Namgung on the cheek.

It was just a slap to the cheek, but it made a loud noise like a bomb exploding.

[What are you saying that you shouldn’t care about? A human who cannot even handle the power of a phase would fight against the primordial phase? No matter how much she has the power of the soul and the magic power of thought, there are things she can handle and things she cannot.]

“Do you think I am a person who would gamble with my daughter’s life?”

[…What?]

Namgung wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and spoke in a calm voice.

“We need Somin’s strength to find Woo. So, I try to go to the fortress with Somin, but that’s all. “I will do the rest.”

[That is just as crazy as it sounds. I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking.]

“Don’t worry, you won’t die at least until you achieve what you want.”

[Tsk tsk….]

Yor clicked his tongue at him.

“You came to see me not to stop me from going, but to lend me strength, right?”

[Hmph.]

Yor pouted his lips at Namgung, who was looking right at him, and ripped off the small pendant he was wearing around his neck and handed it to him.

[Once you get the cloak, eat the liquid inside it. Then you will be able to use the power of the seven snakes.]

“Thank you.”

[There is no need to be thankful. Because it is a gift to you who have to do something more embarrassing than fighting.]

“Don’t worry too much. “You will do well.”

[Who cares about that? Because going to the fortress would be a terrible thing for you.]

“…?”

[The only way to get to Wu’s fortress is to open the black route. Your father will know that method.]

At that moment, just as Yor said, Namgung’s expression hardened.

“…shit.”

He stuffed the pendant into his pocket and muttered in an irritated voice.

* * *

“My name is Nam Gi-cheol. I think some people have heard of me… but I was the one who founded Unit 711.”

Several people were gathered in the hall provided by the association.

When Nam Ki-cheol’s rough voice, as if scratching metal, was heard, Myung-hoon clapped as if he had been waiting.

“It is an honor to meet this legendary man. “It may be lacking, but my name is Choi Myung-hoon, who is serving as the president of the association.”

“This is Park Hyo-joo.”

“This is Kang Ho-jun.”

“This is Kim Chang-hwan.”

When Myung-Hoon said hello, the three people behind him bowed side by side.

“Why did you two come when I didn’t invite you?”

“Didn’t the president of the association just say that? He’s a legendary figure. “As someone who worked at 711, how could I not come?”

“Hereinafter referred to as alumni.”

“Then the cause of death is 711. He’s doing his own thing. “Hurry back.”

Namgung struck Hojun and Changhwan on the back of the head one at a time and pushed them away.

“Noisy guys…”

After chasing the two people out, Namgung sighed and shook his head.

“There may be people who are seeing this for the first time, and there may be people who know them like those guys, but as introduced, this is Major Nam Gi-cheol, who led 711 in the past. “I will be joining you on this expedition, so please say hello to everyone.”

Namgung stood next to Nam Ki-cheol and introduced the people who were looking at him one by one.

“You probably know these four well. From left, Alek Traman Roxanne Michael Zeren. “They are all revelators of stature.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“i look forward to.”

Alec smiled as he shook Nam Ki-cheol’s hand on behalf of them.

‘Hmm.’

Nam Ki-cheol looked at the energy he felt from him with interest. Certainly, after the Temple of the Sun and Moon Observers was built, Alek Traman’s power seemed to have increased significantly compared to other revelers.

“Before I became an actor, I also served in the military. “I know very well how great the 711 is.”

“That’s too much praise. “If that’s the case, he’s just an old man who can’t handle his body properly.”

“If Namgung had invited me, he wouldn’t just be an old man stuck in his past glory. “I look forward to it.”

Confident tone and facial expression.

And although it seemed like a compliment, Nam Ki-cheol gave a faint smile that felt like a warning of sorts.

“It’s nice to see. You seem to have great faith in your own abilities. “It’s like a new recruit with a lot of spirit.”

“…yes?”

“New soldiers need to be a little more disciplined to be in good shape.”

Alec Traman looked at Namgoong with a puzzled expression at Nam Ki-cheol’s reaction.

“It means don’t be conceited just because you have achieved a little. Alec, you will partner with Major Nam during this expedition.”

“…eh?”

Alec thought that Namgoong was being mean to him for no reason.

“There will definitely be something to learn.”

However, for Namgung, who knew Nam Ki-cheol’s abilities, it was a very natural action.

Probably no one will know.

Of all the people here, Nam Ki-cheol may actually be the strongest.

“And…”

Namgung looked down.

After hesitating for a moment and swallowing dry saliva, he looked at Nam Gi-cheol and said.

“Nam So-min. “This is my daughter.”

For a moment, the two looked at each other.
