The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 149

“According to Kuga, I understand that you are the revealer of the one who controls the seven snakes… isn’t that true?”

“No, that’s right. I made a contract with Yor. Thanks to that, I can use the power of necromancy.”

“But why…”

Lathea said to Namgung, looking at the chain wrapped around his wrist.

“I have been tested on my stature. “They don’t trust me.”

“You are a revealer, but your status tested you? That’s strange. “Revelators must be those who are trusted by their stature more than anyone else.”

“I’m in a slightly unusual position.”

Namgung looked at her.

“There was a regression. “I took the place of the one who was supposed to be the revealer.”

“…!!”

Everyone around him was shocked by his words.

“You mean… you are the first person to complete that quest?”

“Was there no one who succeeded in that quest? Well then, that would be correct. But it’s surprising. “If you conquered the carnival, hunting down demons wouldn’t be that difficult.”

“…It’s not a question of hunting. “It’s because of the prerequisites for that quest.”

“The condition is….”

“To survive alone in the world.”

Namgung was able to understand Lathea’s words right away.

“Because there is nothing more painful and scary than being left alone. “Wouldn’t all carnival participants work together to survive?”

“You’re not wrong.”

“Then how did you succeed in that quest? “I guess… you didn’t kill people.”

Namgung smiled bitterly.

“Not really. We must have been weak compared to you. And, shaken by the greed in front of us, we end up destroying each other.”

“Hmm… It’s amazing that you stayed alone and hunted down all the demons. “It’s no wonder Kuga loses.”

“That…”

“It’s not really because of that. “The reason I was able to defeat the author was not because of my experience back then, but because I am stronger now.”

Kuga grumbled in disapproval at Namgung’s answer, but was unable to refute it.

“It must have been difficult.”

“….”

Namgung couldn’t respond to Lathea’s unexpected words and kept his mouth shut.

“Good job.”

The sight of someone who looked almost like a young girl stroking her own head while raising her tiptoes may have looked strange, but it felt strangely natural.

Despite her appearance, it was difficult for even Namgung to guess the age that radiated from her.

“…It’s no big deal.”

Namgung looked at her curiously.

“You said you would decide whether to do the quest or not based on our answers, right?”

“that’s right.”

“Giving up the quest would mean you would stand by our side… but does that mean you would let us out of the tower?”

“well. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it’s worth a try. “For that, I’ll need your help too.”

“Hmm what is it?”

“The sacred relics of the pantheon rest within the tower. “I plan to collect them.”

“Pantheon? Not long ago, the tower made a loud noise… was that why? “How long has it been since Sang Sang was involved in the tower?”

Lathea nodded.

“Anyway, it’s a pantheon… It’s really just the beginning of the carnival. But the tower is open. “I’ve never seen anything like this before in all dimensions.”

She seemed to think for a moment and then turned her head away.

“Chan Kuga. You go and contact the other two tribes. “It’s an urgent matter, so we’ll have to deal with it as quickly as possible.”

“All right.”

“Surely… do I have to go to the ice palace in person?”

“Of course. Doesn’t the Tur clan live there?”

“Okay, I understand.”

For the Yoran clan with the fire attribute, going to the Ice Palace, where all four seasons were winter, was no different from hardship.

“Have a nice trip, Kuga. “You’re going to have a hard time.”

“Will you shut up?”

Flon covered his mouth and laughed at Kuga, who was glaring at him as if he was going to eat him.

That appearance could not help but be teasing Kuga.

“Flon. “You go to the back road of Aksan and bring the elders with you right away.”

“…yes?”

While he was teasing Kuga, his eyes wavered as if he was embarrassed by the task he was given.

‘Kkkkkk, it’s ugly. ‘You guy.’

Looking at him like that, Kuga smiled.

The back roads of Aksan, where the elders of the Yoran clan lived, were rough, but what was more problematic was the eccentric personalities of the elders.

“Do I really have to go? “The elders prefer Cougar.”

“That was a long time ago, right? Besides, only advanced hunters can go to the back roads of Aksan, so how could Kuga go there?”

“Ah…” When

the middle-aged hunter standing next to Lathea reprimanded him, Flon scratched his head and sighed.

“What kind of place is Aksan that makes you shy away from it?”

“Someone doesn’t want to turn it off.”

“If anything, I could go instead. “If they are coming to see me anyway, wouldn’t it be okay for me to go and see them myself?”

“That’s a place only advanced hunters can go. “Those who are not qualified cannot enter.”

Namgung pointed to Kuga.

“I beat that guy, so does that mean I’m at a higher level?”

“No way. Kuga is a low-level hunter. Besides, it doesn’t end with defeating him. “We are hunters, not fighters.”

‘They’re at the level of hunting salamanders, but they’re low-level… They’re definitely the ones who attacked the carnival.’

Namgung became increasingly curious about them.

“If you’re in doubt, it’s not like there’s no way. You just have to prove your strength. “If you succeed in hunting in the Earth Dragon Swamp before climbing Mt. Aksan, you can call it a high reward.”

“But the author is a Gentile. “How can someone who doesn’t even know where he came from…”

“When did Yoran ask about his birth? “Whale, weren’t you also a knight of the kingdom before you came to the plains?”

“But…”

The man named Wale, who was standing next to Lathea, hesitated at her answer.

“I have a quick question to ask. I saw them hunting salamanders outside. “Then, by any chance, do you mean a basilisk?”

“I know very well. that’s right.”

“It looks like all the remaining subdragons are here…”

“Yes. Salamanders and basilisks live where our Yoran is located, and drakes and wyverns live in the territories of the other two tribes, respectively. The Serpent is in the great lake in the center. “But why?”

“I was wondering if it would apply even if the carnival was different.”

“…hmm?”

Namgoong showed the bracelet.

“Ah… I see. [Ichthyosaur Jewel]… It looks like it hunted a serpent. “Maybe you could catch the remaining subdragons and combine the gems, right?”

“that’s right. “It would be a good opportunity if the subdragons caught here could be used in combinations.”

“It’s not wrong. However, the revealer of Yor and the holder of the chain of Wu cares about a fairly trivial Noble Phantasm.”

“It takes quite a while in our world to complete this. It can only be completed after completing 15 doors, so there’s an opportunity to make it now. “It’s a shame to miss it, right?”

“It seems like you don’t even think about the possibility of not being able to go back. Surprisingly naive. “Have you ever thought that you were deceived by Sang Sang?”

“I didn’t believe it from the beginning, so there’s no need to be deceived. “There’s no way they would have summoned the tower for convenience.”

“This is a prison for losers. It is an inexorable hell that imprisons those who are difficult to deal with. And the same goes for you who came in here.”

“We’ll have to wait and see. If you are trapped in the tower, you will not be able to escape from being a loser, but if you leave the tower, you will not be a loser but a conqueror.”

“…Are you confident?”

“well. You’ll have to try it to find out. But aren’t you keeping me around because you’re curious about that too?”

“That’s fun.”

Lathea seemed to be intrigued by Namgung’s answer and spoke to Wale.

“Guide him to the Earth Dragon Swamp.”

“The elders will not remain silent.”

“It is the author’s responsibility to endure even that.”

“…All right.”

“Ku, please go with him and take care of his needs.”

“My me?”

When Lathea looked at him with sharp eyes as if asking him a question, Kuga sighed and nodded.

“…All right. Hey, but you two aren’t planning on catching the subdragons together, are you?”

“I have colleagues.”

“The Basilisk is a terrible bastard that cannot even be compared to a Salamander. This is only possible if at least 30 hunters from the Yoran tribe gather together. I hope I’m as strong as you.”

“Don’t worry.”

Namgung answered Kuga’s question.

* * *

“I guess… this isn’t everything, is it?”

Kuga asked with a shocked expression as he looked at the people in front of Namgung.

“This is it.”

“…Are you kidding me? That big guy looks pretty useful, but what about the other two? The blurry-looking guy and the kid are the end? “What should we do with those guys?”

“Huh, blurry?”

“Kid?”

Myung-Hoon and Gyeong-In burst into laughter as if they were dumbfounded by Kuga’s reaction.

“We’ll see what we can do. “Please show me the way.”

“It’s ruined.”

Kuga continued to grumble as he headed toward Aksan.

The reason why the elders of the Yoran clan stayed in Aksan was because of the earth dragon swamp located halfway up the mountain.

This is because the basilisks that occasionally escape from the swamp to find food have caused great damage to the village.

The Basilisk was the most vicious of the five subdragons, so much so that even they, who were excellent hunters, were reluctant to hunt it.

Cougar had hunted a basilisk that came down to the village just once, and it was something he never wanted to do again.

There was a problem with the lack of hunters in the village because the senior hunters were away at the time, but the damage suffered that day was even more terrible than that.

‘Because the Basilisk is the last of the subdragons to appear. It’s not that I can’t understand his reaction, but…’

They were the ones who had finished the carnival.

Although the Basilisk summoned from the 15th door is strong, you will have faced many stronger monsters after that.

When I thought about it that way, I thought Kuga’s reaction was a little excessive.

“…over there.”

While I was thinking like that, I arrived at a place where I could see a swamp.

[Crrrrrrr….]

As if it had been waiting, a crocodile-like basilisk jumped out of the black swamp and blocked the group, blinking its eyes.

‘Now what are you going to do?’

Kuga smiled bitterly as he looked at Namgoong at the appearance of the overwhelmingly intimidating Basilisk.

Just looking at it made my whole body tingle.

Hunting something like that with only four people was truly suicidal.

“Everyone standby.”

However, Namgung walked in front of the Basilisk as if mocking Kuga’s expectations.

“…Are you sure you’re alone?”

Kuga looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Damn!!

“You crazy…!! What are you going to do? damn!! The Basilisk’s weak spot is between the eyebrows! “Aim between the eyes!!!”

As Namgung jumped towards the basilisk, Kuga shouted with a shocked face.

“hey!! “I told you it was between the eyebrows!!”

However, contrary to advice, Namgung turned toward the basilisk’s tail and was frightened.

“…uh?”

But the shouting was short-lived. Kuga stopped shouting at the results of the hunt.

‘What is it?’

Wow…!!

As the huge basilisk’s body fell, swamp mud was sprayed everywhere.

“Why… die?”

Kuga muttered with a puzzled expression.
