The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 169

“You can get to the boss room in one go… Was this how you conquered the dungeons? “You eat it for nothing.”

“This is a guy who doesn’t know how to waste his life. “Do you think dying would be easy?”

“You’re not really dying.”

I pretended like it was nothing, but in fact, it was something that I, as Namgung, never wanted to experience again.

The experience of a self-chosen death that was not a sudden death, nor a forced death, but very slowly tying me up, was more terrible than anything I had ever experienced.

“You really are going to die.”

“…what?

“I mean, really dying. “Once you enter the black route, you must attack the deep part of the dungeon in order to escape.”

Nam Ki-cheol looked at the temple erected in front of him.

“And in order to get to the depths, you have to experience death like you are now. Don’t ignore experience. Because it is invisible but real.”

“It means that the experience of death… affects the body.”

“that’s right. You are definitely dead. Even if it didn’t actually happen, the mind remembers it. “If the accumulated experience goes beyond the limit… it will not only affect the mind but also the body.”

“Does that mean you will really die if you continue to attack the black route?”

“that’s right.”

“How many black routes do you have to experience to become like that?”

Nam Ki-cheol shook his head at his question.

“I do not know either. “Maybe two or three times.”

At that moment, Namgoong remembered that Nam Ki-cheol in his previous life had conquered three black routes.

His whereabouts after that were unknown.

No one knows where or how he died.

‘Three times…’

It is not clear whether his death was caused by the black route or not, but Namgoong was somehow bothered by Nam Ki-cheol’s words about those three times.

‘Because of me, I got to experience the black route that I didn’t have to do. If his death was caused by the black route…’

Perhaps his death is being accelerated because of him.

“Are you worried about me? Don’t worry. It’s not like I’m risking my life to be curious. I have no intention of running away in my later years. Once you are strong enough to survive, you will take care of the rest.”

“How did you find the black route?”

“Because he has something to ask, his tone of voice changes. Is it worth dying at least once? “Do you know how to bend now?”

Nam Ki-cheol burst out laughing and spoke as if teasing Namgung.

However, Namgung did not change his attitude for a purpose.

I thought that

if I knew how to attack the black route… I might be able to avoid the cost of losing my life.

[That’s what I call worrying.]

“….”

Ignoring Lathea’s words, Namgung looked at his father.

“I’ll let you know when I’m done here. “If you tell me how to do it, I’m sure you’ll follow along.”

Nam Ki-cheol, who knows Nam Gung well, said with a meaningful expression.

“Did you hear laughter before you came in? This place is like the inside of a dungeon. They are souls trapped here. Whether we like it or not, once we set foot on the black route, if we fail to conquer it, we will end up just like them. “You will forever become prey swallowed up in the dungeon’s stomach.”

“That doesn’t happen.”

“I can’t believe your tone changes so quickly just because you didn’t answer a question. Anyway, what a petty guy.”

“you…!!”

Namgung, who was about to shout something, soon sighed and closed his mouth.

“We’ll talk once we get out of here.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh huh…

As Nam Ki-cheol placed his hand on the door, the pattern engraved on the door began to slowly fill with light, like water filling up.

“Do you know about the boss of Lightning Abyss?”

“A giant called the Thunder King. The spirits he commands are top-level spirits that can use level 1 lightning magic. “There is no way to stop it with existing items.”

“okay? “Then I guess I came here to die properly.”

“…what?”

“The black route awakens the essence of the dungeon. That means that it allows you to assimilate into the real world and use your deteriorated power intact.”

“Do you mean the boss… becomes stronger?”

“I got to the boss room right away without dealing with the mobs, so I have to pay that price.”

“Wasn’t that price paid for with one’s life?”

Namgung frowned.

“Sometimes there is nothing more insignificant than a person’s life.”

“…damn.”

Nam Ki-cheol pushed the door as hard as he could, as if he was somehow happy to see him like that.

▶ I entered the Hall of Thunder.

▶ The sleeping king wakes up in the presence of an intruder.

▶ The owner of Hell is watching you.

Kwakang…!! Quagga Gaga River…!!!!

When I opened the door, there was a man with pure white skin standing on a high cliff that looked like a throne.

[Who are you?]

‘The appearance of the boss does not change even in the black route.’

Namgung, who had experience conquering Lightning Abyss in his previous life, knew the boss here well.

The entry route was completely different, but fortunately the boss in front of him looked the same as he was used to, so he was at least relieved when it came to conquering the boss.

‘Regardless of strength, if the type of ability used is the same… there is a chance of victory.’

Thunder King’s greatest abilities are chain lightning and instantaneous freeze.

“Never go into its range. “The moment you freeze, you die instantly.”

“Frozen? “You’re not using lightning?”

“The power of his lightning only increases sharply against frozen targets. Well… even if you don’t freeze at this point, a single lightning strike will kill you instantly.”

Nam Ki-cheol nodded at Namgung’s words.

“good. “Don’t leave the order up to you.”

Without hesitation, he entrusted the battle to Namgung. Since he was a specialist in battle, it was natural to choose the side with the highest probability of victory over pride.

“For now, we need two things to catch him. One is bait and the other is to catch the rear guard. “We have to destroy his lightning orb, and if you make a mistake, you will die.”

“Hmm, I understand. “I’ll take care of the beads.”

At Namgoong’s words, Nam Ki-cheol decided on his role without any hesitation.

“Don’t act like a useless brat, just be bait. “It’s great that you found the black route, but it’s impossible to destroy the orb with your skills.”

“What a guest… Anyway, there’s nothing this kid can’t say?”

“…Because it means not to die. The enemy in front of you is not a human, but a monster. “If I want to catch a monster, I have to become a monster too.”

“Are you trying to use that supernatural power again?”

“Anyway, opening the black route is largely due to the power of a supernatural ability, right?”

“different. “This power…”

Nam Ki-cheol was about to say something but closed his mouth.

[How dare you chat in front of me… these guys have their livers sticking out of their stomachs.]

That was then.

King Thunder looked down at the two people standing in front of him and talking and said as if they were dumbfounded.

Kwakagaga River—!!

And as soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and a sharp bolt of lightning fell from above his head.

They were bickering, but the moment the lightning struck, they instinctively spread out without any conversation, as if they had formed a plan.

“It’s here!!”

Nam Ki-cheol, who pretended to be the bait, took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and threw it with all his might towards King Ure.

pop-! Puff Puff Puff–!!

When the glass bottle broke, the powder inside started exploding in all directions like firecrackers.

[You bastard…!!]

The Thunder King seemed to be annoyed and shook away the dust rising around him with his hand.

“Don’t die… I said something crazy too.”

Namgung looked at Nam Ki-cheol, who had become the bait, and shook his head.

Sssssseu….

It was still impossible to summon spirit soldiers.

Due to the nature of the black route, it seemed that the power of the soul world could not be used equally in the boss room.

However, necromancy was not the only supernatural power he used.

Grumbling-!!! Quagang-!!

With a loud explosion, a fierce flame erupted beneath Namgung’s feet.

Overcoming the flames that erupted from [Maenghwajang], Namgung turned behind King Ure.

The place where he stands is the edge of a cliff with no end in sight.

Poop-!!!

A huge hammer fell in front of Namgung, who was running along the border.

“Huh?!”

When the hammer hit the ground, the cliff collapsed.

Namgoong’s body lost balance due to the impact and fell to the ground along with the broken cliff.

“…Gunga!!!”

Nam Ki-cheol was startled by the sight and shouted.

fault-! Tat–!!

However, Namgung stepped on the falling rocks and barely made it to the edge of the cliff.

“That bastard… he surprised me.”

Nam Gung had already disappeared from his sight for a moment before Nam Ki-cheol was relieved.

▶ Use the Primeval Dragon’s Bracelet.

▶ The jewel of petrification is activated.

▶ Ichthyosaur Jewel is activated.

Sign fish were summoned around Namgung.

At the same time, he stretched out his arms and thick rock walls rose from the ground.

[You think you can hide with something like that!!]

Along with the Thunder King’s shout, sharp lightning fell on the rock wall made of petrified jewels.

Crackling…! It’s so crazy…!

But surprisingly, it didn’t have the same power as before.

This is because just before King Thunder’s lightning hit the ground, the sign fish scattered and his lightning also scattered.

“Are you just going to watch?”

Ki-cheol Nam’s body moved instinctively at Namgung’s shout.

‘…it’s over there.’

What caught the eye of Namgung, who was running and hiding between the rock walls, was a lightning ball floating on the cliff ledge.

The source of King Thunder’s power and weakness.

‘If you break that thing, it loses its power.’

The problem was that if you made a mistake and the lightning ball exploded, it could devastate the entire area, let alone attack the target.

Gulp –

The tip of the [Gaming Sword] in Namgung’s hand trembled.

‘Are you nervous?’

I couldn’t understand how he, who had crossed the threshold of death countless times, was trembling in this situation.

“….”

But soon Namgung was able to easily find the reason.

He was anxious that his father might die because of his failure.

It was funny.

I thought that the goal that had deepened over the years was already too far away to be filled, but when I realized that he could be dangerous, it was difficult to concentrate.

“What are you so worried about?”

It was then.

Surprisingly, Nam Gi-cheol dodged King Thunder’s lightning and came to his side.

“You said Somin, right? You and Su-ah’s daughter. “Are you saying that the child is trustworthy, but that I am untrustworthy?”

“It goes without saying… Somin’s magical power is top-notch. “Without any ability like you…”

Namgung was momentarily speechless.

‘It wouldn’t be easy to avoid lightning… How did they get here?’

“Son. That’s why I told you not to use your supernatural powers. “It’s all because of me.”

“…!!!”

“If I use the power of this ability.”

At that moment, Nam Ki-cheol grabbed the lightning ball.

“Now wait!!!”

Namgoong was startled by his appearance and shouted, but Nam Ki-cheol gave strength to the hand holding the bead as if he was showing off.

“Because I really am becoming a monster.”

Kwasik—!!

The bead was broken.
