The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 171

“Please save me…!!”

“I didn’t say I was going to kill you. “But you’re glad you won’t become a murderer, right?”

It was no task for Namgung to organize the landscape surrounding the mountain.

“You said the government was involved, right? Who ordered you to do this? “Is he the president?”

Namgung roughly threw the half-corpse Diego on the floor and asked his trembling eyes.

“This is Vice President Lu Luen!! He told us to use slum children to collect runes in this mountain!”

“What about the president?”

“That’s…”

The officer who answered looked around, unlike the first time. But his colleagues avoided his gaze.

“It looks like there’s something behind it. “As far as I know, the president is still alive, right?”

“Well… full authority has been delegated to the Vice President. “Currently, all commands are being carried out by the Vice President.”

“why? “So what is he doing?”

Gulp –

The officer somehow looked more nervous than when he was hit by Namgoong a little while ago.

Wow…!!

Namgung stepped on Diego’s head without hesitation.

The officer turned pale as he saw his head sinking below the ground.

“Well… as far as I know, the President is a member of the Clan.”

“…clan?”

Namgung was rather embarrassed by the unexpected answer.

“The leader of a country neglects his country just because he joined a clan? “Does that make sense?”

“It’s not strange. “This country has a lot of politicians who go to jail.”

Nam Ki-cheol spoke as if it was no big deal, but that wasn’t necessarily true.

‘Unlike previous presidents, this president had a good reputation. Moreover, from what I remember, we fought against monsters for quite a long time even in harsh environments.’

The current president, President Pimenta, was someone who remained in Namgoong’s mind as well.

“What clan is it?”

“Well… do you know of a clan called Mammoth? “I heard they went in there.”

‘…mammoth?’

Namgung remembered the clan’s name.

It was a name I had never heard of in my previous life, but somehow it felt familiar.

“ah.”

And I remembered that I had been informed of that name by Myung-Hoon at the Union Headquarters.

‘I heard that it was a monster dismantling team that offered to scout Jang Gil-soo…’

Namgoong did not understand why such a clan recruited the president of Brazil.

“I believe it is a Russian disbanding team. Are you saying that President Pimenta has now joined there?”

“That’s not it. To be exact, I joined the [Morph] team under the Mammoth team.”

“A team under your umbrella? “That means it’s a smaller clan than Mammoth.”

“Well… Mammoth is also an affiliated team in a larger sense.”

“What clan is it?”

The officer scratched his head in response to Namgung’s question.

“It’s a place called [Trace] in Argentina. As far as I know, it has many clans under its umbrella, including Russia’s [Mammoth], India’s [Sumat], Madagascar’s [Riom], Portugal’s [Ox], etc.”

Namgung couldn’t help but be shocked by his answer.

‘With that scale, the Universe Clan would naturally be on par with the World Federation… How come I’ve never heard of it before?’

National Intelligence Service agents along with Joo-in were deployed within the alliance to quickly capture what was happening around the world and respond to unexpected situations.

Even though it was an information network that was capable of finding Nam Ki-cheol’s location right away, surprisingly, no information about them has been received until now.

‘How did we not know something that even a mere police officer knew?’

There must be some hidden reason.

Also, the fact that they, who had been hiding until now, showed up in the sun would also mean that they were that confident.

‘If the Indian clan that approached Man Deok-su is the [Sumat] that the officer said… they were moving to recruit talented people from the alliance.’

Namgung felt the need to investigate further to see who was their leader and who had committed such a bold act.

“Do you know anything else about them?”

“I don’t know the details. However… the President excavated the mineral veins in this mountain after becoming a member of [Morph].”

“What does that mean?”

The officer answered, scratching his head with an embarrassed expression.

“It means that the President has the ability to find the vein where the runes are buried.”

“however? “What’s strange about that?”

“Before he joined [Morph], he was an ordinary person with no qualifications.”

Namgung’s face hardened at his answer.

“Do you mean that the qualities will be improved there?”

“well. “I don’t know if it’s like that or if it creates qualities.”

The officer shook his head.

* * *

“what do you think about it?”

“Don’t go back on the black route. “What’s the difference between giving up your life, brother?”

“No, not that one. [Trace] is a clan. Do you think it makes sense to enable ordinary people to have qualities? Or are we discovering people who don’t yet know their own qualities?”

“older brother.”

Namgung, who returned to [Nest], told Myung-hoon about what happened at Black Molar.

Knowing the meaning of Myung-hoon calling him with a stern expression, Namgung nodded, licking his lips.

“i get it. “I won’t go down the black route anymore, so stop staring.”

“Promise me.”

“I said I understand. “Why does it seem like the nagging got worse after becoming the union leader?”

“If something like that happened, you should have at least told me. Your life is more important than anyone else’s here right now. “You can’t forget that.”

“Remember this.”

Myung-Hoon’s nagging was annoying, but Namgung didn’t really dislike it.

“Anyway, I’m curious about the clan called [Trace]. “There is no information posted on the union.”

“Even if it’s a coalition, it doesn’t mean we can directly investigate every place. “It’s impossible not to miss something.”

“Hmm… Still, it’s not easy to accept. As you know, who is building the information network? “You’re Sain, aren’t you?”

“well. “To be exact, I wasn’t the one who found former captain Nam Ki-cheol.”

It was then.

The person who opened the door and came in was none other than Joo Ju-in.

“It’s no different from what that person told me.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“There were a few people I was looking for a long time ago at Namgung’s request. “There was that person among them.”

The chief priest said:

“But no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find his whereabouts. But when Namgung tried to find him, as if he knew, his appearance was mysteriously caught on various information networks.”

“Are you saying you revealed yourself on purpose?”

“That is highly likely. “I don’t know if that person has supernatural powers… but at least it means that it’s not difficult to avoid the eyes of the existing surveillance network.”

“Hmm….”

“First, investigate the team that approached Jang Gil-su and Man Deok-su. “I will separately look at a clan called [Trace] in Argentina.”

“If they are not captured by surveillance networks and are known only to individuals, it is likely that special methods will be needed to contact them.”

“I have something else in mind about that.”

“really?”

“All we have to do is catch and punish those involved.”

It was so typical of him that the two of them could not say anything.

* * *

“Hmm….”

Returning to the fortress, Namgung felt that the atmosphere of Wu’s Tower had changed a lot while he was away.

“dad!!”

The first floor of the tower, the Aryong Gate, had a fairly dark atmosphere, but as the fortress was built and the village took shape, the atmosphere gradually became brighter.

“now! “The fruit is here!”

“The freshly baked bread is also available, so everyone, please taste it!”

“Wow… what is this?”

“Haha, this is called ice cream. “It’s made by freezing ice.”

The children of the Yoran clan gathered together, their eyes shining as if they were amazed by the ice cream they had taken out of the freezer.

Among them, the most noticeable change is probably this.

“Can I exchange it for Salamander’s Scale?”

“Of course. “You can leave it at the material shop and exchange it for currency.”

“Currency?”

“yes. It has been newly enacted this time. “It is said that the material store sets the price based on the value of the material.”

It was that people from different levels coexisted.

Although they were wary at first, they soon set standards and began to share what they needed in their respective areas.

At best, it was just food like bread and ice cream, but the fact that they broke down each other’s walls was definitely a meaningful achievement.

‘There are still floors left in the tower that have not yet been conquered. For the sake of conquering the tower… and for the sake of the remaining carnival, it will be important to make the fortress prosperous.’

He had no doubt that this place would be the final bastion where combat power from other dimensions and modern technology combined.

“dad!!!”

As I entered the fortress, I saw a friendly face.

“Somin.”

He lightly hugged his daughter who was running towards him.

“how have you been doing?”

“Chi… Is that what you’re saying now? “Where have you been?”

“sorry. “There’s a lot more to do these days.”

“Look at this! “I made it today.”

Namgung couldn’t give an easy answer because he was worried about what happened to his grandfather that his daughter didn’t know about.

But Somin, perhaps aware of his feelings, took something out of her pocket and showed it to her.

It seemed like he wanted to show off quickly.

“What is this?”

What Somin was holding was a dried flower whose name was unknown in a small bottle.

“Hmm…”

Namgung looked at his daughter, wondering how to react to the unremarkable flower.

“That’s a petal called ‘Eden’s Breath’ that only grows at the Hydraulic Gate. If you dry it and store it, it emits light at night. “We use it instead of candles at night.”

He turned his head at the answer he heard instead of the hesitant Namgung.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Temer.”

A boy who appeared to be around Somin’s age and had dark skin bowed his head towards Namgoong.

[It’s Chan’s son.]

Latea said to Namgung as if she recognized the boy.

‘If it’s Chan… he was with Kuga?’

[that’s right. He’s from the same hunting party. Although he is young, he is quite talented, so

I was keeping an eye on him.] Namgung nodded at Lathea’s answer.

“It seems like you hang out with Somin. thanks. “They also make pretty gifts.”

“I didn’t make it. “Somin made it.”

“okay?”

“yes. “Isn’t it amazing?”

“…what?”

Namgung once again expressed his disapproval at Temer’s question and asked back.

“Look at this.”

Temer took out a flower petal from the bottle Somin was holding and gave it to Namgung.

“…?!”

At that moment, surprisingly, the petals passed right through his body and fell to the floor.

“Right? Originally, only we could catch that flower… but surprisingly, Somin could touch it too. “Just in case, I tried it with other people… I tried it with you now, but only Somin can catch the petals.”

The child spoke to Namgung with sparkling eyes as if he had made a great discovery.

No, it was truly an incredible discovery.

‘How did this… happen?’

[Temer. I’m sure I told you not to go to Eden’s Hill. Should I call him and scold him?]

“…Chief Joe!”

When Lathea appeared, the boy quickly knelt down.

[Didn’t Chan say that Eden’s Hill is where there is a door that connects to the upper floor? You never know what will happen if you open the door by mistake. Because we, Yoran, don’t know who the people living up here are.]

“I just want to show Somin the flower petals…”

[I probably didn’t tell you to make an excuse.]

“I’m sorry for my sin!!”

Temer quickly knelt down and bowed his head.

“Don’t say anything. “I came here because I begged Temer.”

[Then you should kneel too.]

“Stop it.”

[It is important to protect your daughter, but discipline is just as important.]

“It’s my job to take care of it.”

Latea shrugged her shoulders and shook her head at his firm words.

[Hmph, I’m speaking as a senior, so take note.]

“Senior?”

[After all, I raised three children.]

“…What?”

Namgung looked blank for a moment at the words of Latea, who only seemed like a young girl.

[By the way, Eden’s Breath is a special petal that only the Yoran clan can touch, as Temer said. But that child can touch that… That’s not a very good thing from your perspective.]

She spoke directly into Namgung’s head.

‘What does it mean?’

[The fact that strangers cannot touch Ethan’s breath is evidence of a kind of dimensional boundary. Because the Tower of Wu is where many races from other dimensions reside in the same space.]

‘But?’

[What does it mean to be able to touch the border of another dimension? It must be to have eyes that can see the essence of the world.]

Gulp –

At that moment, beads of sweat formed on Namgung’s hands for the first time.

[Like your father.]
