Chapter 12
Episode 12
▶ The first festival has ended.
▶ Compensation will be given to all survivors.
▶ 500 heads have been paid.
I couldn’t hide my gloomy mood just by looking at the red letters floating in the sky as if they had exploded firecrackers.
-The whole world was thrown into chaos due to this sudden phenomenon.
-All military forces have been mobilized and most of the monsters have been eradicated, but the damage is significant.
-Citizens, please wait for the policy in the safety of your home.
-The current government is….
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuong
)
-This is a traffic bulletin.
-Currently, traffic is impossible due to the destruction of the Seosan Junction of the Pyeongtaek-Paju Expressway.
-The road toward Yeoju toll gate on the Yeongdong Expressway has been destroyed, so please drive with caution.
-Traffic is currently difficult in the area near Gonjiam on the Jungbu Expressway.
-Also, police authorities are continuing to control roads…
-The following is the situation in the metropolitan area.
….
Fortunately, thanks to the quick handling of the goblin load, there was less confusion than expected.
‘In my past life, after the first hell gate opened, most of the communication circuits were cut off. Not only that, but the roads were almost destroyed so we couldn’t move.’
Trains and planes were difficult to use due to the confusion, but due to minimal damage to the roads, Namgung was heading toward Seoul at a faster speed than expected.
“older brother. It seems difficult to use the highway. “Let’s take the national highway and go.”
Namgung nodded.
“It’s not a big fuss. “We are starting an emergency press conference now.”
Unlike Namgoong, who thinks he is stable, Myung-Hoon spoke while watching the president’s conference on his cell phone.
“It’s nothing now. The real start will be after midnight. “We have to hurry and get to Seoul before then.”
Namgoong looked at the clock in the car.
“What happens at midnight?”
“This is my first proper encounter with this world. Doors like this will continue to open in the future. “Monsters will come out of it like they do now.”
Gulp –
Myung-Hoon nodded nervously at Namgung’s words.
“If the military base moves, it will still be okay, right?”
“It’s not enough. “The number of monsters that can be blocked with existing firearms is… probably the third at most.”
“Then…”
“Do you remember the first time you caught a goblin? “At midnight, the proxy family will come to visit.”
“Ah yes.”
“The Vicar Clan are the ones who make deals with us on behalf of the eight Aspects who created this damn game. “You can buy things you need from monsters with the heads you get from hunting them.”
“Brother, by any chance, this too….”
“That’s right.”
Namgung glanced at the beheading sword inserted between Myeonghun’s legs and answered.
“How did you get this?”
“There are those who know first when the gates of hell open. We call them revelators. “It’s a slightly different case than mine, but… Anyway, they were selected by their superiors and were preparing for this situation in advance.”
“Are you by any chance Alec Traman?”
“How do you know that?”
When Namgung asked, seemingly surprised by Myung-hoon’s words, he smiled awkwardly and showed his cell phone.
“Haha… I’m coming out here. So I asked.”
A familiar face appeared behind the cell phone screen.
Amidst numerous flashes of light, a man stood on the podium and gave a presentation.
-We must fight against the extraordinary events that come upon us. It is time for everyone to join forces for the future. I….
‘The Revelators have started to move.’
Namgung turned his head again and looked ahead.
As I remember from my past life, the first of the Revelators to begin his activities was Alek Traman.
‘Although he is from England, he is a world-famous actor. It has much more impact than other revelators.’
There has been no news from the remaining six Revelators yet, but with Alec’s appearance, they too will begin to take action in their own ways, whether dark or positive.
‘Just because he is a revealer does not mean he is the savior of mankind. ‘If there is someone like Alec who leads the public, there are plenty of opposites.’
A representative example was Choi Hwi-soo.
Not only that, it was difficult for the revelators to distinguish between good and evil.
Because they were just ordinary people who had not been trained specifically for this day.
‘Saint Eira, who is said to be the second coming of Teresa, also has a lot of blood on her hands behind the scenes, unlike in front of the public.’
You should not trust easily and you should always be on guard.
“….”
For 25 years, Namgung, who had not only hunted monsters but also played a tug-of-war of being deceived and deceived, grew tired of not being able to easily trust people.
“Now that we’ve even had a press conference, Alec is going to start playing savior.”
Even in his past life, he had created a huge clan that could not be compared to other Revelators.
“Because he is an influential person… people will be incited to that extent. “Do you mean that you are someone to be wary of?”
Myung-Hoon immediately understood the meaning of Namgung’s words.
“This guy is not the most evil among the Revelators. But as time passes, you fall into the illusion that you are the savior. “In the future, he plans to make his clan surpass even the nation.”
“Brother, what is it… Isn’t there something that appears often in novels?”
“…?”
“Isn’t it the second time or something like that?”
Myung-hoon asked with a slightly trembling voice as he saw Namgung predicting the future as if he had seen it.
“It’s okay to just leave him playing savior for the time being. “Because it can actually give people a sense of relief in a confusing situation.”
Namgung just smiled and said in response to Myung-hoon’s question.
“So what do we have to do?”
“Nothing special.”
Buuung–
Namgung stepped on the accelerator to increase speed and spoke in a low voice.
“You have to become stronger.”
So as not to be attacked by either monsters or people.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga-gang…!!!!
It was then.
Namgung, who was driving past Hwaseong toward Seoul, suddenly turned the steering wheel when something suddenly jumped out of the darkness.
Wow!!!
Wow…!!
The windshield hit something and cracked like a spiderweb from the impact.
“Somin. are you okay?”
“Ugh…”
Somin, who was sitting in the back seat, nodded with a worried expression.
“What is it? older brother.”
Myung-Hoon said in a trembling voice when he saw red blood on the cracked windshield even in the dark.
“Everyone is here.”
Namgoong got out of the car, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
“Goblin…”
I guess it’s fortunate.
What hit the car was not a person, but a monster.
‘Are there some that haven’t been sorted out yet?’
Just because the Goblin Lord died did not mean that the monsters would disappear on their own.
Although there were no more monsters created due to the Lord’s death, there were still those roaming the streets.
“there. “You probably don’t intend to shoot it at people.”
Namgung turned his head when he saw the arrow in the head of the goblin that hit the car.
“Haa haa….”
With a heavy breathing sound, someone was seen behind the light of the headlight, which had one side broken by the impact.
“I’m sorry!! I didn’t mean to put you in danger! “Monsters suddenly rush in…”
“What I’m aiming at now seems more dangerous.”
Jerbeok-
“Don’t come any closer!!”
When Namgung took his steps, surprisingly, even though it was dark and difficult to see, the person in front immediately shouted.
“I’m sorry.”
“….”
The man aiming a competitive bow, similar to that used in archery, is a student who looks to be around seventeen or eight at most.
There were various wounds on his face.
Was it a goblin or a human attack?
The student with short sports hair apologized, but looked very nervous at Namgoong.
“You seem to have good eyesight.”
Slurp…!!
Namgung said as he pushed the body of the goblin that had fallen in front of the car and threw it in front of him.
“Did you catch this?”
“…That’s right.”
“Good job.”
“yes?”
“Good job. “Seeing a monster’s corpse is a hundred times better than seeing a corpse being eaten by a monster.”
Now I see that the goblin’s body was not one.
“Are you alone?”
The student nodded to his question.
‘No matter how much you use a bow, you can kill five goblins by yourself.’
Namgung checked the dead bodies one by one. Everyone got it right on the head.
‘He seems like a pretty talented guy…’
He looked at the student’s face, but it wasn’t a face he remembered.
“But it looks like it came with a tail.”
At that moment, Namgoong ran past the student as if he had jumped out.
Hwaaaaaaaaaah–!!!
Three soul soldiers appeared behind him.
[… !!!!]
[Kyaah — !!!]
I heard the screams of the monster in the dark.
“Joe be careful!!”
Namgung cut off the goblin’s neck at the sound and hurriedly turned around.
Shuuk-!!
At that moment, an arrow flew out and narrowly passed by his side.
Kwasik-!!
With a dull sound, the arrow hit the goblin’s head.
[…Cruck.]
Namgung glanced at the corpse of the goblin that had fallen in front of him and asked him.
‘It seems like it wasn’t just luck that all the goblin corpses had their heads pierced.’
No, to be honest, it was an amazing skill.
“What’s your name?”
“They are called riot police.”
However, even if he heard the name, it did not exist in Namgung’s memory.
‘Did he die before the clan was created? Hmm… I think if I had this level of skill before awakening, I could be ranked as well.’
After the second Hell Gate opens, clans begin to form one by one.
The reason is that after midnight after the first Hell Gate ends, those who survive the selection undergo awakening and gain their own abilities.
‘Well, it’s not a strange thing.’
Didn’t his daughter, who had the highest level of magical ability, also die as soon as the gates of hell opened?
‘There’s about two hours left.’
Namgung looked at the time until midnight.
“But….” As he tried to approach Gyeongin
,
Gyeongin hurriedly filled his arrows.
“It’s a good thing to be on guard, but if you keep pulling it, I don’t think you’ll have any arms left. And if, by chance, the arrow flies incorrectly…”
Namgung pointed into the car.
“You die.”
Shockingly, Gyeong-
in almost gave up on the protest as he lost strength due to Namgung’s icy warning.
He saw Somin looking at him with anxious eyes inside the car, and slowly put down the bow.
“…sorry.”
“I met you for the first time today, and I’m tired of hearing you say you’re sorry. “It doesn’t seem like you’ve done anything wrong to me.”
“Sorry… oh no.”
At Namgung’s point, the student tried to repeat the same thing but covered his mouth with his hand.
“This is a place with few people. Why did you come this far? Didn’t you hear the broadcast? “I was told to stay home.”
Although I didn’t think it was something I would say as I was driving the car.
“Well… I have to go to Seoul.”
“seoul?”
“yes. My father is alone. But… I couldn’t contact you. “He’s in the hospital…”
“How?”
“…yes?”
“Because the alert has been issued, there is no way to use public transportation right now. Since he looks young, he probably isn’t driving. “How are you going to get to Seoul?”
“By bicycle…”
Gyeongin said in a crawling voice.
“What a bold guy. “Under these circumstances, would you think of riding a bicycle from Hwaseong to Seoul?”
“older brother. “Wouldn’t it be so awesome?”
Myung-Hoon, who had been listening to the two people in the car, came out and greeted Gyeong-In with a friendly smile.
“Seoul seems to be saying that the damage is not significant. “Don’t worry too much.”
“Thank you…”
Gyeong-in nodded at Myung-hoon’s consolation.
“You must have heard the notification since you caught the goblin. “This is because government guidelines have not been issued yet, but once midnight passes and the proxy families show up, the situation will be completely different.”
Namgung said.
“The entire road will be blocked or closed. “It’s hard to go by car, but it’s actually impossible to go by bike.”
“Then what should we do?”
“go back. “That is the safest way.”
As if there was nothing more to talk about, Namgoong turned to return to the car.
“If you take me to Seoul, I will repay you!”
At that moment, Gyeongin became desperate and shouted at Namgung.
“pay? well. “I don’t think you can really repay me.”
“I’ll give you this. Actually, I don’t know what it is, but I got it after the door in heaven opened.”
Gyeongin took out a small stone from his pocket.
“what’s this?”
Myung-Hoon looked at Gyeong-In as if he were dumbfounded when he saw the insignificant black stone.
“…A rock? This guy. “Even if I try to tell you well, I won’t do it because I will feel bad if you give me something like this.”
However, unlike him who scolded him, Namgung’s face hardened when he saw the small stone in Gyeongin’s hand.
“You…where did you get this?”
There was a strange, unknown pattern engraved on the black stone.
‘There’s no way this is coming out now…?’
It was Rune.
