The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 154

“Is it okay here…?”

“Something doesn’t feel right.”

Myung-hoon and Ho-jun followed Namgung and asked in anxious voices.

Crackling –

But instead of Namgung’s answer, only the sound of Gyeongin pulling the strings was heard quietly in the darkness.

“Brother, I have one question.”

“What?”

“You said that TOP gives everyone a chance. “It was said that the Aspects’ intention was to gain strength within the tower and prepare for the future carnival.”

“It did.”

“When you say that building your will is opening the door to the tower… Even if it’s not an easy task as you said, wouldn’t there be people who have opened the door by now?”

Myung-Hoon looked embarrassed as he spoke, perhaps because he was the one who opened the tower’s door.

“Then there must be people besides us… Why haven’t we been able to see even one of them until now?”

“Well, thanks to Lathea, we came to the sealing site of the ancient phase of Wu or something, didn’t we?”

“That’s not what I mean. Of course, it’s not easy to get here, so even before that. “There was no sign of anything while you were in Yoran’s barracks.”

“Well… if there are other races besides the Yoran clan, it means that the land is so large that doors can open in many places.”

“Hmm…”

Myung-Hoon sighed softly at Ho-Jun’s words.

I didn’t refute it because it wasn’t wrong, but something seemed off.

“why? “Is there anything wrong with it?”

“no. It’s just… I have a bad feeling. “I felt like they made it so that only we could enter this tower.”

“Then it’s okay. “Myung-hoon, your senses have always been wrong.”

“Isn’t it Mr. Ya?”

Hojun joked as if to ease Myunghoon’s worries, but Namgoong found it difficult to ignore his words.

‘When the Aspect opened the tower, it was not simply to strengthen humanity, but to target us…’

What he is targeting is not us, but himself.

And it occurred to me that that might not necessarily be wrong.

‘No way…’

There is a possibility that the tower itself is a stage to test oneself in the first place.

“It might not be wrong.”

“…yes?”

“As Myung-Hoon said, the tower itself may be a trap for the Aspects.”

“Then isn’t it dangerous?”

In response to Namgung’s answer, Myung-hoon asked back in a worried voice.

“I came here to find out.”

‘Why did Yor stop me there? Is it really to prevent me from meeting Woo?’

Namgung shook his head.

Of course, since Yor is also of the same status, he may be reluctant to meet Yu, but if he really wanted to stop it, he would have killed himself mercilessly.

‘There must be some other reason.’

[Of the seven snakes, only one has been found. Even if you destroy the Revelator, keep in mind that your contract with me will remain valid until you find all six others.] As

Namgung walked in the darkness, he continued to reflect on what Yor had said.

‘He’s not the type to talk nonsense.’

Was it really necessary to come to the Tower of Wu and talk about the quest of the seven snakes?

Since the quest was something that could fail in the first place, there was no need for the phase to mention it directly.

‘The quest is not the purpose. ‘That’s just an excuse.’

If so, his true intention is likely to be what he said next.

[Remember that your contract with me is valid.]

“Contract…”

Namgoong bit his lip slightly.

Yor is by no means the type of person to grovel and beg a contract from the Revelator. Nevertheless, why did he leave those words before leaving?

[We meet again.]

That was then.

A low, familiar voice was heard in the darkness.

chuck-!!

The group instinctively took their stance and were on guard.

[I never thought you would come to the tower so quickly… This is something not even I expected.]

“Woo.”

Namgung said as he looked at the mummy that appeared in front of him.

Just like when I first met him, he was a strange mummy with only black holes, as if the parts where the eyes and nose should be had been cut out, and he was radiating a pure white eye glow.

[That’s amazing. I have no choice but to acknowledge you.]

Charring….

The shackles that were restraining his arms and legs shook.

[Now, break this with the chain. You fools… they opened the tower door to test you.]

Woo said, welcoming Namgung.

[But the newborn Aspects probably never thought that Leoric’s daughter would betray them. Rather, their trick created an opportunity for us.]

“….”

[Now, you can use my power and leave the tower. [This is an opportunity to take revenge on the superiors.]

But Namgung still did not respond.

“You talk a lot.”

[…What?]

“We met again… Yes. That’s the part I was missing. “That we met again.”

It felt like the uncomfortable doubts that had been lingering in his head until just a moment ago were ironically cleared away by Woo’s words.

“Aren’t you Wu?”

[Ha ha ha… What are you talking about?]

At that moment, the mummy’s face distorted.

“I understand why Yor said his contract was valid. “It may be unbecoming of a guy to say it, but it was a warning to me not to choose someone else as a revealer.”

[Of course he doesn’t want to sign a contract with me. If we lose the Revelator, we will have to give up the carnival.]

“No. That’s not the problem. What he is trying to say is not his fear of losing his Revelator, but a warning about his contract with you.”

[Don’t you want to gain my power? If you make a contract with me, who has all the memories of the carnival, you can really put down those guys up there.]

“Uh. “I will not make a contract with you.”

Wiggle –

At that moment, Mira’s eyes as she looked at Namgung changed sharply.

“Because you are not Woo.”

[Then what do you think I am?]

Namgung smiled coldly, slowly stroking his tangled hair.

“I’m not good enough either. “I’ve seen these types of pranks by my superiors many times in my past life.”

Phew-!!!

In an instant, his body moved and the sword of King Myeong stuck into Wu’s shoulder.

Kiaaaaaaaaa…!!

A sound like a ghost’s voice rang out from the sword, and Wu’s body trembled.

“You must be Ran, not Wu.”

[Kukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…?”

At Namgung’s words, Mira let out a low laugh.

Although he was stabbed with a sword, he appeared to have suffered no damage.

[How did you notice?]

The mummy pulled out the sword stuck in her shoulder and stepped back, slowly removing the bandage covering her face.

“…!!”

Surprisingly, the face hidden behind the bandage was not only intact, but actually glowing.

It was difficult to determine whether the handsome face was male or female. Her slender hands were worthy of being described as ‘trickle-shaped’, and her eyes as she looked at Namgung were like a lake.

His appearance was like the word beauty itself.

Gulp –

But the group standing behind lowered their heads without realizing it.

A human face facing God.

It was the instinct of a creature overcome not by beauty but by awe.

[I thought my acting was pretty good.]

“I know the limitations of my status. “You are called gods, but you cannot break any higher rules.”

[So?]

“When the Aspects first targeted me and made me meet Wu, the quest there was to conquer Ran’s nest. At least, if it is a quest created by the Aspects who cannot break away from the rules… the location of the quest is the truth.”

[Ha ha ha.]

“That would mean that the place where Wu is trapped is not the tower, but Ran’s nest. “Then what about you in the tower?”

At that moment, Ran burst out laughing as if she was satisfied.

[indeed…! Indeed! Haha, I understand why Woo was interested in you. There is nothing more tempting than the power in front of you… How many times have you endured it?]

“Because I realized that the power given to me by others is not mine in the end. I borrowed the power of the phase, but I do not rely on that power. The same goes for Wu’s chain. Just use it. “I believe in that and have no intention of attacking Sang Sang.”

[Feel so good. Very good.]

Grumble-

Namgung took a stance while holding the sword pulled from Ran’s shoulder.

“So it makes no sense for you to be interested in me. “The important thing is to find out whether you really need me or whether you are the one who will eat me.”

he said

“say it. “What are you?”

[As you know. The oldest phase. [A being who was with the beginning of the beginning that created everything.]

Ran said, looking at the man who draped his sword over her as if he was cute.

[And he is also the one who can end everything.]

‘It’s the same as what Woo said about himself.’

Like light and shadow.

The two seemed to be standing in opposite positions.

[I played a little prank on you. I can’t help but be intrigued because the person with the chain of the right name has entered my territory giving off a smell.]

Namgung looked at him.

Ran was smiling, but Namgung still did not let go of his guard.

[The bosses did something cute. I guess you thought what would happen to you if I sent you to me like I sent you to Wu.]

Charring….

The chain around Namgung’s wrist trembled as if answering his words.

[But it’s a stupid idea. I was also interested in you, just like Woo.]

“…Why me?”

[You are the only key that can get us out of this prison. Out of all the history of carnivals so far, you are the only one who has returned.]

Ran looked at Namgung.

[A person who has experienced two times can become a bridge of time, but on the other hand, he can also become a breaker of time.]

He showed his shackles.

[You have the power to break our seal. You received the chain from Wu, right? If you break my shackles with that chain, I will give you strength.]

A captivating voice struck Namgung’s ears.

[You will be able to gain the primordial power that the Aspects did not have. In that case, ending the carnival is not a problem.]

Rumbling…!!

The shackles shook.

[You can change the world.]

And his voice rang out in the darkness once again.

Shook–!!

It was then.

While everyone’s eyes were on Ran’s shackles, an arrow flew through the darkness and hit him between the eyes.

“…··!!!”

Ran’s head, where the arrow was stuck, was tilted back. Everyone turned around in surprise at that sight.

“Man, what is that…?”

Gyeongin’s voice trembled as he held the bow.

“…What do you mean?”

Even Namgung looked at him with a puzzled expression at his sudden behavior.

‘uh?’

Unlike before, Gyeongin’s eyes were shining in the darkness like the eyes of a owl.

[You have amazing eyes. Trust those eyes a little more.]

Before leaving the barracks, Namgung remembered what Latea said to Gyeongin.

“Why…”

Gwaaagh- Gyeong-

in looked at Ran, who was slowly standing up behind Namgung, with the string of the bow drawn.

“Are you talking to a monster?”

There was silence for a moment.
