The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 231

Sigh!!!

Upon entering the fortress, Namgung unfolded the cloak he was wearing.

Then, black air currents dispersed within the cloak and began to surround the people.

▶ Snake Fog has been cast.

▶ Protects friendly targets in the fog.

“Everyone stay out of the fog. The fortress is full of the power of Woo. “It’s dangerous if you don’t protect it with the power of the phase.”

“I think you know enough without me saying it. Even the revelers find it difficult to breathe…”

While answering Namgung’s words, Alec glanced at the people behind him.

As he worried, Park Hyo-joo and Myung-hoon’s expressions were not very good. They held back their nausea like people suffering from motion sickness.

“Wouldn’t it be better to get rid of those two now? “This is not a situation that an ordinary person can handle.”

“I brought them in because I could handle them. Don’t think that just because you’re not a revealer, you’re necessarily weak. “Look at them.”

As Namgung said, Somin and Nam Ki-cheol, like the other revelers, did not look very different even inside the fortress.

“Hmm…”

Alec wanted to say that those two were special, but he shrugged his shoulders and kept quiet.

“If this is a treasure trove of status, then there won’t be any danger like before, right? Just being qualified to come in is difficult enough.”

Myung-Hoon said while pressing his temples due to a pounding headache.

“Well, I guess not.”

“…yes?”

“Ran’s report is only accessible to his revealer. But this is a place you can only enter if you have the power of a phase, not a revealer.”

“Yes.”

“In other words, it means that anyone of any stature can enter.”

“Could it be… that the Aspects will interfere with us?”

Myung-Hoon asked back in a nervous voice at Namgung’s words.

“No, their interference is nothing to worry about.”

“sure?”

“Did you forget? “Woo (无) hates status.”

[A person who hates Aspects created a place where only Aspects can enter…]

Leoric’s voice sounded like an auditory hallucination.

[Anyone can see that it sounds like a trap aimed at his status.]

Namgung slowly drew his sword.

“answer.”

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

At that moment, something came out through the black fog and attacked Namgung.

[They are Wu’s dogs. Are they still here?]

Leoric blocked his path.

Wow…!!

When the smoke cleared, black hounds were struggling with Leoric’s sword in their mouths.

[be careful. Human flesh just melts when bitten by their teeth.]

[Kaang―――!!]

There was not just one dog.

As soon as Leoric finished speaking, dozens of dogs appeared behind the three dogs he was blocking.

“Everyone back to their places!!!”

At Alec’s shout, the revelers instinctively lined up.

“Spirits…”

Roxanne was the first to memorize the spell, and behind her, Somin and Zeren’s fairy magic and divine magic completed the barrier.

Kang! Kang!! Kagang…!!!

The black dogs were blocked and tangled by the translucent barrier.

“Michael.”

He nodded and took Michael’s hand, and the two disappeared at the same time.

Alec jumped through space and appeared behind the dogs and pulled out his sword with all his might.

“Hwaap!!”

His blade shone golden.

When the sword was swung, powder of light flew out, and the dogs that were running rampant to destroy the barrier quickly turned their heads.

Suddenly –

but before they could escape, Alec cut the dogs’ bodies in half, as if cutting tofu.

“I like it.”

Alec muttered in satisfaction as he looked at the dogs’ torn bodies.

His sword was nothing special, but his swordsmanship a moment ago was special enough.

“Is that Cheondujutsu?”

“that’s right.”

The newly learned swordsmanship was none other than one of the new rewards Alec received after completing the Temple of the Pantheon.

“It wasn’t this powerful to begin with… I guess it’s because the benefits of the phases are still maintained.”

“Thanks to you, it will end easily.”

“Leave it to me.”

Alec spoke in a confident voice and glanced at Nam Gi-cheol.

“I don’t know if I can still learn something from him.”

He seemed secretly still dissatisfied with having been put on the same team with Nam Ki-cheol.

“Move.”

It was then.

Someone grabbed the back of Alec’s neck as he stood over the shattered corpses of the dogs.

“…?!”

Alec looked back as if embarrassed by the sudden action, but before he could react, his body was already pushed back by Nam Ki-cheol.

pop! Fuuuuuu!!

At that moment, the bodies of the black dogs exploded all at once, spewing out acrid smoke.

“It’s poison.”

Alec seemed more surprised that Nam Ki-cheol had pulled him than the poison flowing from the black dogs’ corpses.

‘what…? I didn’t even notice the approaching sign…’

Alec was lost in thought, looking at Nam Gi-cheol with a puzzled expression.

“It looks like I have a lot to learn.”

Namgung said as he passed by him.

Alec blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment.

“Was it a mistake just now?”

“If you can avoid mistakes, it’s a skill.”

“….”

Alec looked shocked at Namgung’s words, but was unable to refute anything.

“…thank you.”

In times like this, there was only one thing to do.

To admit clearly.

“There is no need to worry. “Because I can smell better than others.”

Nam Ki-cheol lightly waved his hand at Alec as if it was no big deal.

“Anyway, it smells awful. Even undead wouldn’t smell like this. “What on earth are these guys?”

Nam Ki-cheol said as he looked at the corpse of the monster disappearing like ashes scattering.

[I think you know what that smell is.]

Leoric said at that moment.

[If you can open the black route, you will be closest to this than anyone else.]

“….”

Nam Ki-cheol smiled bitterly at those words.

“Is it death?”

[But it is not the ordinary death we think of. Because the power of death he possesses is literally extinction. Ordinary humans can disappear from existence just by touching them.]

Leoric looked at Alec.

[There is no difference in being a revealer.]

“…Everyone criticizes me for saying one thing.”

Alec shrugged his shoulders sheepishly and shook his head.

[The presence of Wu’s dogs means that his power still remains here. Then there is one thing we need to pay attention to.]

“What is that?”

[Paragon. He is Wu’s confidant and his first revealer. He voluntarily gave up on being a revealer and turned into a demon to become a summoned beast that follows him.]

“The revealer became a summoned beast?”

[okay. When I signed a contract with him, I borrowed the power of Paragon, just like you and I do now.]

“Hmm…”

Namgung nodded.

[Wu is trapped in Lan’s cave, so if Paragon has not been destroyed, this is the only place he would be. Most likely, he is guarding Wu’s treasure.]

“How strong is he?”

Myung-Hoon asked him with a stiff face.

[How strong is it? It is ridiculous to discuss his strength at our level.]

“Is it that much?”

[If that’s why I, who had nothing, was able to become the winner of the carnival because of that, wouldn’t you understand?]

At Leoric’s words, Myung-Hoon seemed nervous and lightly licked his dry lips with his tongue.

“No matter how strong he is, we have no choice. You never know what might happen inside the cave. That’s why we need to retrieve the remaining Origin here.”

[Don’t let your guard down. He is the person who most closely resembles Woo. Strong, fast, and vicious.]

“You can’t believe you evaluate your status as vicious. I’m serious?”

[That’s why I’m trying to achieve change.]

He answered Namgung’s words.

[Isn’t that the same for you too?]

“Hmm.”

He nodded instead of answering.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

It was then.

Along with the explosion, something rushed towards Namgung.

The moment Leoric tried to block his path, Namgung raised his sword as if he had been waiting and deflected the force rushing towards him.

“Being protected once is enough.” But surprisingly

, Namgung

felt the sword he was holding with all his might being pushed back little by little.

[Paragon…?! Was that what you were aiming for?]

Leoric shouted in surprise as he saw the knight in dark armor charging towards Namgung.

[Crying]

The Paragon reacted when he saw Leoric, but made a strange sound as if he had lost the ability to speak, just like Leoric in his previous life.

“dad!!!”

Kwasik-!!

At that moment, Somin’s brain flower fell on Paragon’s head.

bang-! bang-! Kwakang-!!!

The red lightning that continued to fall made its body tremble and it withdrew the spear it had aimed at Namgung.

Quickly!!

Park Hyo-joo pulled out a dagger from her arms and threw it at Paragon, who was hesitating backwards.

Ten daggers imbued with the power of the wind spirit were simultaneously embedded in the guy’s joints.

“Let new life take root.”

As Roxanne chanted the spell, thick roots grew from the handle of the dagger thrown by Park Hyo-joo and covered the Paragon’s body.

“Good!”

The two shouted happily as their plan worked.

“be careful.”

However, for a moment, Michael pulled them behind them and dodged to the side.

Kwaaaang―――!!

A halberd flew and stuck where the two people were standing.

“This is crazy…”

Every time I took a step, the roots embedded in each joint broke mercilessly.

Thump – thump – thump –

Roxanne muttered as if she was dumbfounded as the attack of conversion ended in vain.

“Hwaaaap!!!”

Myung-Hoon and Alec drew their swords at him.

Kang! Kang! Kagang-!!!

The attacks of the two people who trained together formed a perfect combination and tore off the Paragon’s limbs.

“…what?”

However, even though the two struck down their swords with all their might, Paragon did not get a single scratch.

Myung-Hoon was at a loss for words as he watched him walking towards the halberd that had fallen on the ground, as if he had no interest in them.

Suddenly –

it was that time.

The moment Paragon was about to grab the halberd stuck on the ground, he was stopped for the first time by his foot stepping on the halberd.

“You are strong.”

Namgung spoke to Paragon.

[Crook…?]

Paragon, who was trying to grab the halberd, tilted his head and looked at Namgung.

“So much so that I crave it.”

▶ Would you like to use Soul Reign?

Namgung grabbed Paragon’s head as he looked at him.
