The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 172

‘Somin… does this mean she can open the black route?’

[well. You don’t know that. Because neither you nor I know how to open the black route. There is no confirmation that her power is the key to the black route.]

Even though it was a story that only the two of them could hear, Lathea strengthened her voice.

[But I think if you open the black route, it’s more likely to be your daughter, not you.]

‘…That’s absolutely not possible.’

If you enter a dungeon within the Black Route, you will experience death.

No, before that, opening the black route itself may be an act of eating away at one’s vitality.

Namgoong will not let Somin do something like that.

[There is no need to worry about the lever. It’s not that your daughter can necessarily open the black route… And even if she does have that ability, it’s okay if she doesn’t do it.]

‘It’s not such an easy matter to think about.’

Namgoong knows his daughter well.

If the moment of need comes, Somin will not hesitate. Even if it means paying any price, if it is truly necessary.

‘I should prevent something like that from happening.’

Gwaak-

Namgung clenched his fists.

‘Because Su-ah and I won’t leave So-min alone.’

[okay. That’s it. I don’t know, but your father might have been in a similar situation.]

Namgung, who had been making a meaningful promise, laughed coldly at Lathea’s words.

‘That person is different. The carnival wasn’t even happening when he abandoned us. ‘Because he is a human who left even though the world was never going to be destroyed.’

[well. I don’t know. Even if it’s not a carnival, there are enough dangerous things in the world.]

‘Stop talking about that. Rather, we need to warn children. Like you said, if I make a mistake and open the upstairs door, it will be a big problem.’

[Let’s do that. I’ll be back for a while. I will tell the advanced hunters to keep a strong guard around the gate.]

Namgung looked at the two children after Lathea left.

“You too, keep in mind. We still don’t know what kind of people live above. “There can be friendly people, but there can also be hostile people.”

Somin and Temer nodded with nervous faces at his words.

“Look at all the people over there. Unlike you, most of them are ordinary people. What if they are harmed by your mistakes? There could be injuries or even deaths.”

“That’s not possible!”

Temer shouted hurriedly.

“okay. It won’t work, right? So from now on, don’t go to places with doors. got it?”

“…huh.”

“All right.”

Somin, who was expecting a compliment, actually looked disappointed at Namgoong’s words.

Her lips twitched as she answered.

“Let’s hang the flower petals in the conference room. “You’re pretty.”

Somin smiled brightly and nodded at Namgoong’s words.

“Let’s go together Temer!”

“Yep.”

Temer bowed 90 degrees, greeted Namgung, and hurriedly followed her.

“how is it?”

“Nothing special happened. The friction with the Yoran clan is not as great as expected… First of all, the children are less wary. Somin put in a lot of effort.”

The empty space next to Namgung distorted, and Changhwan, wearing a cloak, appeared.

“What is that?”

“It’s an invisibility cloak. “This is a prototype made by Ju Ju-in, and he asked me to try it.”

“Wasn’t something like this developed long ago?”

“They say that not only does it make you invisible, it blocks heat detection, and it can even hide supernatural abilities such as magical power, which I don’t have.”

“Hmm… I see.”

The invisibility cloak certainly seemed like a useful item for those capable of long-distance attacks.

‘I think something that could produce a similar effect was probably [Patterned Butterfly Wings].’

Although it was an item that could be purchased from a Yasha bundle, it was expensive because it was a rare item.

Moreover, the performance is simply invisible.

Other sensing abilities could not be hidden, so they were not useful considering the price.

“Is there a sign in the fortress? I would like to ask if mass production is possible. “I think it will be quite helpful in blocking the 8th door.”

“If you were a doctor, you would be away right now.”

“Where did you go?”

“well. “I heard they’re looking for a replacement… I’m not sure what they’re talking about.”

‘…It seems like this guy was in a hurry. It would have been better to wait a little longer. ‘I don’t know if it’ll be okay.’

Changhwan shrugged his shoulders, but Namgung could tell that Joo Joo-in had gone to look for Flame.

‘If the Flame I know is really professional gamer Chan-ho Jeong… I should be careful.’

I wonder if Joo So-in will be defeated, but the opponent is a canvas that was famous in a previous life.

Recruiting them might not have been easy.

“Well, I guess that’s up to him to figure out. okay. “Is the training going well?”

“yes. We are in the process of selecting a few useful people. Gyeongin is also following along well.”

Changhwan answered Namgung with an expression of anticipation.

“I’m counting on you.”

“Don’t worry. “But are you leaving already?”

“Then what am I going to do by staying here? “I came because I wanted to ask Sain to look into something, but since he was away, I can’t help it.”

“What is it?”

“A while ago, when we were disbanding the Geomgwi, there was a clan that contacted us to recruit Jang Gil-su. “It was a place called [Mammoth] in Russia.”

Namgung told Changhwan what he knew.

“Hmm… That’s a strange thing. Even though I came here to recruit people, I don’t feel like there’s much of a stickiness.”

“Recruiting…? “You mean they came here too?”

“yes. There are no particular restrictions on access. We are currently recruiting people who have lost their homes…”

“Do you remember when you arrived?”

“sure. It must have been two days ago. “I remember it not long ago.”

“Do you even know who approached you?”

“well. “It came to me too, but I don’t know if it came into contact with other people.”

“Um….”

“Since we are doing all entry and exit checks, there will be a list of visitors and personal information recorded at the checkpoint.”

“Who is at the checkpoint now?”

“The true evil unit members will be guarding it.”

“okay.”

Namgung hurriedly walked away thinking that he could get information about these guys from an unexpected place.

* * *

“Loyalty!”

“It’s done. “I heard that there are members of the [Mammoth] team among those who entered. Can you find them?”

“[Mammoth]… do you know when it is?”

“I heard it was two days ago.”

“Hyuncheol, put the clan list on the list of visitors.”

“yes. All right.”

The members at the checkpoint set up at the entrance to the Tower of Wu began searching at a rapid pace following Namgung’s words.

A fully populated clan list appeared on the monitor.

“Did this many people come to the tower?”

“This is just a one-day list. There are more clans looking for the Tower of Wu than you might think. Thanks to Namgung, many people have found a new home.”

Namgung smiled slightly at the words of the checkpoint team leader.

“I found it.”

The member of the Chamak unit managing the checkpoint tapped the keyboard a few times and several names appeared on the monitor.

“Here it is. Monster dismantling team… correct? Luna Buell from the [Mammoth] team. “It looks like it’s still in the tower?”

“Do you know where it is?”

“Hmm… They are probably not residents, so I think you can meet them if you wait in the resident dormitory.”

“All right. “But what are the rest of the names here?”

“Ah, these are the people who came with the [Mammoth] team when they came.”

Namgung looked at the name.

‘Edward Joe Vasily Shiman Galina Volkov…’

There were photos included in the list, but they were all people who did not exist in his memory.

‘They say they are not special people….’

The representative, Luna Buehl, was also the same.

‘These are people who didn’t exist in my past life. They may be people who may have died early in their past lives.’

In their past lives, there were many people who died despite having outstanding qualities.

That’s because he felt that way just by looking at his daughter, Somin.

In any case, the lack of information also meant that it was impossible to know how dangerous their risk was.

‘For now, you’d better be careful.’

There are many people inside the tower.

They may not be able to threaten themselves, but it would be easy for them to harm others.

“Hmm….”

“Why are you doing that? “Do you know anyone?”

“No, not really, but…”

Namgung, who was looking at the list, stopped at the information on one person.

‘Galina Volkov…’

The monitor showed the face of a twenty-year-old woman who still looked young.

Of course, this is a person I don’t know.

However, what got him on edge was not her, but her last name.

Volkov.

This surname, meaning wolf, was not that rare in Russia.

However, Namgung knew a very rare person with this surname.

‘Alexandr Volkov.’

He was none other than the first leader of the Russian killer group Zagat (закат).

It was also an organization that Igor, a large man who followed Erika Ninagawa, who had once supported Namgung’s group in Yeouido, was a member.

Among those operating in the shadows, there was no one with the last name Volkov.

I don’t know if it was a courtesy to Alexander, but in reality, everyone with the last name Volkov changed their names.

‘Then it must be one of two things. Either he is a person of the shadows… or

he is related by blood to Aleksandr Volkov.

“I’ll have to meet you to find out…”

Namgung clicked his tongue.

This is because, in his experience, his bad premonition was correct.

‘If the Volkov family is involved, it might be a bit of a headache.’

It wasn’t just because of the killer group.

When he was in Unit 711, he met Alexander.

‘He is a man with very strong pride.’

If Galina was related to him, the problem was the team she was on.

‘It was said that [Mammoth] is a team under [Trace] in Argentina.’

Even though he is not currently on active duty, there is no way that Alexander would tolerate someone related to him being under someone else.

‘If Alexander is the hidden leader who even manages [Trace], that could be the case…’

The possibility was slim.

As far as Namgung knew, Alexander was now over 90 years old, so he couldn’t be seen as doing anything himself.

‘Then it means that the owner of [Trace] is not easy, to the extent that even such a person cannot refute it…’

Namgung shook his head.

We may be making too many assumptions in a situation where there is no confirmed information yet.

“Well, you just have to check it yourself.”

He greeted the unit members with a light nod and opened the checkpoint door.

Caaa Aak — !!!

It was then.

As soon as he opened the door, a sharp woman’s scream reached his ears.
