The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 164

“As everyone knows, when you hunt the boss monster of each gate, a dungeon is automatically created in each location.”

Myung-Hoon continued speaking while looking at the representatives of each country with sparkling eyes.

“But this dungeon is different. If you look at what is written on the parchment, it says that the dungeon can only be opened once, regardless of whether the strategy is successful or not.”

“I think this means that it is a dungeon that is both dangerous and has important rewards. “If the previous dungeons were more like practice in preparation for the carnival, this dungeon should focus on real strategy rather than training.”

Myung-Hoon nodded at Millard’s words.

“You are correct. “I’m sure these three dungeons won’t be easy.”

And Millard continued speaking as if he had been waiting for Myung-Hoon’s reaction.

“In that sense, if we distribute maps for this hidden dungeon, I think we should select countries with revealers.”

“No, sleep…”

“Shouldn’t we think about safety before greed?”

There were a few people who wrinkled their faces at Millard’s words.

In particular, Russia, which supported the largest navy along with the United States, seemed full of dissatisfaction.

“To me, those words really seem like they are full of greed.”

“…yes?”

However, Myung-Hoon just laughed at his words.

“If safety is that important, it would be better for Director Namgung to conquer all three dungeons. “I wonder if there is a need to discuss it with you all.”

“That’s…”

Millard couldn’t hide his slightly embarrassed face at Myung-Hoon’s answer.

“Everyone will admit that among the present, there is no one skilled enough to challenge Director Namgoong.”

“….”

“We at Nest do not simply focus on the benefits gained from conquering dungeons, which is why we have invited you here.”

‘I thought he was just a scarecrow set up by Namgung… but he’s not an easy opponent.’

They looked at Myung-Hoon. And as if he knew the meaning of their eyes, Myung-Hoon also glanced at them.

“Carnival is a phenomenon that is happening all over the world. “We believe that one area should not simply become stronger against monsters that are summoned simultaneously.”

“Then who will you give the opportunity to the dungeon to?”

“For more details, Director Namgoong….”

“The title of director is unfamiliar. “Don’t call me Myeonghun.”

It was then.

When the door to the conference room opened and Namgung appeared, people looked very nervous.

They knew instinctively.

This means that they are weighed down by a sense of intimidation that is inherently different from that of Myung-Hoon. Every time

Namgung

‘s steps moved, it felt like he was stepping on their shoulders.

“It seems like everyone wants the three newly acquired dungeons. To put it bluntly, there is no such thing as qualifications. Anyone who wants it can take it.”

“Is that true?”

“Then we…”

“No, us too!!”

At Namgung’s words, the conference room began to buzz.

“step.”

Namgoong said to the agents who all raised their hands saying, “Don’t miss this opportunity.”

“The dungeon is only opened once, regardless of whether the strategy is successful or not. “If the attack fails, you will have to take corresponding responsibility.”

“If there is a corresponding responsibility….”

“I don’t know what the dungeon’s reward is, but at least it will serve as a driving force to respond to the numerous carnivals in the future. “For someone who doesn’t have the skills to throw that opportunity away because of greed, it probably means putting their life on the line.”

Namgung said with an expression as if he was asking that.

“I will specifically deal with those people myself, and the country that hired them will not be able to avoid responsibility.”

Gulp –

People swallowed their saliva at Namgung’s words.

‘That person is equivalent to a nation-level power… no, he may be even stronger than that.’

‘To a person like that, it would be like wiping out a country….’

As if everyone there had no different thoughts, unlike when they were clamoring for a dungeon map just a moment ago, everyone now remained silent.

“I hope you make a decision before I get back.”

“…Where are you going?”

Namgung answered casually, holding up one of the three maps that Myeonghun had put down.

“Dungeon raid.”

* * *

“what do you think about it?”

Namgung, who brought one of the three maps, put the map down and asked Lathea.

[Hmm…]

As the head of the Yoran clan who had experienced the carnival, she knew very well what Namgung’s question meant.

[There are three maps.]

“That’s right. “It also came after hunting a giant devil.”

[You want me to speak my thoughts honestly, right?]

“Please do so.”

Lathea said, pointing to the map.

[It looks like you’ve done a good job of conquering Carnival so far. Well… of course, it’s probably because of you that this map was dropped.]

“Is that true?”

[At least that’s how I see it. It looks like the Aspects want to reduce the number of participants somehow. In the current situation, anyone who goes in to attack this…]

She looked at Namgung.

[You die unconditionally.]

“As expected… I guess it’s the map to Lightning Abyss.”

However, despite her meaningful warning, Namgoong showed a calm expression.

[What is that reaction? I’m sure they don’t intend to attack. Even if you have experienced the lightning abyss… no, if you had, you would know better. Without it, you can’t get to the top.]

“You know. “There is no way to survive the lightning strike from the abyss without the needle of the 9th boss monster, the lightning eel.”

In fact, the three dungeon maps were not something that would appear after defeating the Giant Demon.

‘Originally, it would have been a reward only after killing the 14th boss monster…’

Putting that in the reward for the 6th door could not have been a truly shallow trick.

It may seem like a reward, but at this point, it can be said to be a trap rather than a reward.

“You just have to not conquer dungeons that are impossible to conquer. “Unlike opening a door, a dungeon is not required.”

[Why does a guy who knows that make that kind of expression?]

Namgung crumpled the parchment he was holding and let out a low sigh.

“How long will we continue to use such low-level techniques… Even the minds of those with status are insignificant. is not it?”

Latea made an expression that she did not understand Namgung’s question to her.

[Are you asking me?]

[Is that possible? Leoric’s daughter.]

[…!!!]

At that moment, she hurriedly turned her head when she heard a voice coming from behind her.

[This… master of the seven snakes!]

[There is no need to be so shocked. It’s not like you don’t know me.]

Yor grinned at Latea.

[What you two did in the Tower of Wu was quite something to see. It looks like the idiots were trying to instigate a fight, but instead they joined hands, causing trouble for them.]

“But you didn’t do anything good either. “What the Aspects were really aiming for was not the clan’s quest to kill me, but the story that was sealed inside.”

Although Namgung was scolding him, Yor instead looked at him with admiration.

[Because I also have status. I don’t like what they’re doing, but I can’t just stop them. Still, you didn’t notice it well.]

If Yor hadn’t said that he had to finish the quest he gave him right before opening the door where Ran was, Namgung might have been shaken for a moment.

“That’s right. I wondered why you bothered to come to me and say that. “Because you are not the type to hold on to a revealer.”

[I was nervous. I wonder if you will at least make a contract with Ran.]

“That can’t be possible. “Woo, even if that’s the case, I don’t understand why even Ran, which is said to be the beginning of the phase, is sealed.”

[That suspicion is why I like you.]

“Anyway, what’s going on? “Are you here to make an excuse for this ridiculous dungeon?”

[There is no excuse for that. The order of carnival rewards is at the discretion of the status. Opening the Tower of Woo was a clumsy method, but that’s different.]

“To me, they both look the same…”

[If you don’t clear a dungeon that is impossible to clear, that’s it. They gave us a map of the dungeon, but we didn’t tell them to conquer it.]

Yor said that while looking at Namgung’s expression.

[The best way would be to keep it as you said and then slowly conquer the dungeon… but.]

His smile somehow resembled Namgung’s.

[I don’t think so. Because the Aspects cannot change the progress of the carnival at will. The more difficult it is, the better the reward.]

“I know. “No matter what you do, just like you have done up until now, I will take away all the compensation you offered.”

[Have you thought about a method?]

“Well… To attack Lightning Abyss, you need a level 2 or higher resistance to the Thunder attribute, but there is no way to get it in the current situation. “The resistance elixir sold in Yacha bundles is up to level 3.”

Namgung looked at Yor.

“I think it would be possible with the blessing of Breeze’s Mother… If so, I guess I should threaten him one more time with the holy relic.”

[Arthur. Is there any way that could work? You know very well who her revealer is. If you threaten her with a sacred object, she will threaten you with her revealer.]

Ppadeuk –

Namgung gritted his teeth without realizing it.

As he expected, the Aspects seemed to have caught a glimpse of his return.

[It would be better to save sacred relics until the very end. That is, if you really want to fuck them properly.]

“I have your holy relics with me, and you’re good at talking about things like that.”

[Because you know very well that you have more to gain by placating me than by threatening me with a sacred object. There are two more doors to the Three Poison Gate that we haven’t opened yet.]

Namgung chuckled at his words.

[Of course, if I see any signs of betrayal… I will kill you before that happens.]

“Well, that’s up to you. Still, I don’t think I came here with the intention of killing him. “What do you have to say?”

[Anyway, he’s someone who can’t be intimidated… Even if you help him every time, he never says thank you.]

“…?”

[I have come to give you advice myself.]

Yor said, turning the parchment that Namgung had laid down.

[There is definitely an entrance to the dungeon, but you don’t have to go through that entrance.]

His meaningful voice hit Namgung’s head.

[You know it too. The entrance to Lightning Abyss is a bitter hell of lightning… but behind it is nothing more than a cloudless field.]

“But when you open a dungeon, the starting point has to be the entrance. “Even if you want to avoid the hell of lightning, you can’t avoid it.”

[well. If it were impossible, you wouldn’t have been interested in this dungeon in the first place. Be honest. The plan you have in mind. Does that have anything to do with what I said?]

Namgung chuckled at Yor’s question.

“no. “You’re really quick-witted.”

Even if he had seen his return, even the Aspects would not have thought that he knew about this.

A back door to a dungeon that can be opened when certain conditions are met.

The Black Route.
