The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 5

Kugggggggg….

When the copper door opened, hundreds of Noble Phantasms were piled up inside.

‘This is the lowest level of the treasure trove of phases… It would be amazing if I could open the iron and gold door.’

Namgung looked at the items in the warehouse.

[How about that? It is called the [Head Collector’s Ring]. It increases the number of heads of hunted monsters. There are limits depending on the level of the monster, but nothing is as useful as this in the beginning.]

Yor took out a skull-shaped ring from among the Noble Phantasms and showed it to Namgung.

[Having experienced Carnival, you would know better than anyone else. How important it is to get your heads together. Or how about this?]

Grumble –

He took out a sword.

The blade protruding from the scabbard was curved like a wave, and I couldn’t tell if it was modeled after a wave or a snake’s tail.

[What weapon did you use before returning? This is called [Argonian Day]. There’s poison on the blade. It’s very poisonous. At least until the third door opens, there will be no one who can challenge you.]

“Argonian… Lord Snake of Gluttony. As far as I know, this was your fifth alter ego, right?”

[Hey, do you know that much? You… you really lived longer than you thought? Well, that’s why they must have gathered the supply of demons. Wow, I really got the hang of it this time. Good, very good.]

Yor seemed to be in a good mood at Namgung’s answer and started taking out various of his Noble Phantasms with a flushed expression.

However, unlike him who was excited, Namgoong did not show interest in anything else, as if he had already seen something.

“this.”

What Namgung chose was an old helmet.

No, it was no exaggeration to say that it looked like a piece of scrap metal so rusty that it seemed unusable.

[…What is this?]

Even Yor tilted his head as if he had forgotten about the item even though it was in his treasury.

[Ah… Was this here? You’re a really weird guy too. I can’t believe I’m looking for this.]

Yor said as if he remembered something, taking out his old helmet and tapping it.

“I will do this.”

[Are you serious?]

“Yes.”

[Hmm… Well, it’s not like it can’t be done.]

When Yor looked at the item Namgung had chosen, his face, which had been very flushed just a moment ago, turned cold, as if he was disappointed.

[I don’t think it’s particularly useful right now.]

“This is enough. “Others can be obtained even after the gates of hell are opened, but there is only one Legendary-level Noble Phantasm with a single-digit numbering.”

[Even if you were a regressor, if you weren’t my contractor… I don’t think you would have seen this. You couldn’t have just chosen it based on the numbering?]

Yor spoke with a somewhat reluctant expression on Namgung’s words.

“It doesn’t matter if you think so. But the fact that the only Noble Phantasm is here means that it can only be obtained here.”

[Ugh… Just as you said, it is the only item in the entire universe.]

[Even if you consider the level of the grade, it is by far the best. Because it’s Legendary level. But I don’t think that will help you, right?]

Cough… cluck…

When Namgung cut his finger and let blood drop onto the tree branch, the dried branches began to swell abundantly as if they had suddenly found life.

Wow…!!

The swollen nest became large enough to fit a child.

Numbering 8.

Name: Lord Leoric’s Helmet

Grade: Legendary (First)

▶ Helmet of the greatest and most arrogant king in history.

▶ You can gain great power, and you must pay for your arrogance.

▶ When a living person uses a helmet, it absorbs the person’s vitality, and when a dead person uses it, it can gain powerful strength.

[Leoric… He was a weird guy. Was this the king who tried to kill God? It’s literally an act of suicide. Like Icarus, who flew towards the sun with wings of wax.]

“Do you know him?”

[No, I just heard about it. The fact that the weapon is left behind means that it exists somewhere other than the world I am in.]

“There are other statuses besides you.”

[of course. The dimension is wide and there are many gods. We too are just parts of history that are born and disappear.]

“Dimension? That means other places are doing this damn thing too.”

[Cluck…]

Yor smiled slightly.

[Think carefully. Just because the numbering is in one place doesn’t mean it’s good. This is an item created by the fickle status of the previous ancestors.]

He looked at Namgung.

[This is an item that can only be used in the world of the dead. It is useless in the human world, the world of life. I just left it here because none of us wanted to take it.]

“No. “Just do this.”

Namgung looked at the helmet as if he had achieved his goal and answered lowly.

“I received a favor.”

[Hmm….]

Spurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!

When he took out the black helmet, it instantly became smaller and took the shape of a cube.

[Well, that’s good. However, since you are also a living being, I have sealed the helmet for now. If you break the seal and put on the helmet, your life force will be sucked out in an instant. It means instant death. Keep that in mind.]

Yor shrugged as if he still didn’t understand.

[Why do you want to have something you can’t use anyway…]

“It’s not for me to use.”

[hmm? Then?]

“You’ll see.”

Namgung read the last part of Yoram’s explanation once again and spoke in a low voice.

▶ If the helmet finds its owner, the sealed power will be obtained.

He let out a low breath as if he had made up his mind and nodded.

In fact, his decision was not an easy one.

Maybe it was closer to an adventure.

The reason people named the dimension gate that opened a few days later the Gate of Hell was because the scene unfolding in reality was truly hell-like.

A stronger weapon.

Or a tool that can surpass others.

These may be what you need most for survival.

Nevertheless, Namgung could not give up.

No, maybe it was because I was confident.

The experience of surviving for a longer period of time than the eight stars.

It already proved his strength.

When you reach a stage where you can no longer reach on your own, what you need is someone who can have your back.

[Well… since you’ve become my revealer, I’ll give you just one piece of advice.]

“What is it?

[You are different from other revelators. Other guys can play the role of messiah with the power of the phase on their backs. Even if everyone talks nonsense about being the savior of mankind, at least you can never do that.]

“Why?”

[You are the one who handles corpses. A person who fights with the life of a dead person. A guy like that would save the living? Are you saying that the lives of those you use as tools are light?]

He lightly hit the scale he was holding in his hand.

Weight plates on both sides moved up and down alternately.

[Be selfish. That is the path that the Seven Serpents’ Revelator must walk. If you want to save someone, at that moment you will have to weigh the lives of others.]

Yor spoke to Namgung.

[And whatever you do, you will get. The label of a hypocrite.]

“You talk a lot. “It’s up to me to take care of it.”

Namgung put the cube-shaped helmet in his arms and turned his head.

Tuk –

it was that time.

Yor threw a heavy bag in front of Namgung, who was about to leave the door.

[Take it.]

“…What is this?”

[100,000 heads. Other Aspects will also turn on their eyes to find the returner. As soon as the carnival begins, you will soon find out that you are a returner. You are likely to become a target for the remaining Revelators.]

He scratched his head reluctantly and spoke a little bluntly.

“so?”

[…Buy what you need from Gyu-ryu’s bag. If there are any of my items in the bundle, I will give them to you free of charge… but since I don’t have anything like that, I will lend you the necessary amount.]

Like the star sea sword seen in the Yaksha bundle, if the owner of the item is a person of status, you can receive it free of charge if you give his permission. I was able to.

But unfortunately, Yor’s things were not in the bundle.

That’s why he offered to lend me a head to buy the items in the bundle.

“I don’t really want to take it.”

[…Why?!]

“Because the things given by status require a price, even if it’s a small thing. “If you’re thinking of putting shackles on me in exchange for lending me a head, that’s half a pound worthless.”

[Anyway, this guy is not easy. Well, I like it better that way. I also have respect, so I’m not going to just give you the head.]

“So?”

[It’s no big deal. I’m thinking of asking you for a request. Just think of this as an advance payment for my request. If that’s the case, the other Aspects won’t be able to say anything either.]

At that moment, Yor handed Namgung a piece of parchment.

[It won’t be a loss for you either.]

‘This…’

The parchment represented a quest, and the color of the wax sealing it represented the grade.

It was red.

That’s the same level as the feat of hunting down and returning to 666666 demons.

‘Legendary level quest.’

Namgung looked at the parchment for a moment and thought.

Based on the terrible memories I had while hunting 666,666 demons over 25 years, I could tell that this quest was by no means a smooth one.

[It won’t be easy. Rather, the probability of failure is high. However, the level of difficulty must be that level to silence the other Aspects.]

Yor seemed to have noticed Namgung’s expression and spoke to him first. But he didn’t seem to notice the joy behind that stern face.

“doesn’t care.”

Wow…!!

Namgung grabbed the parchment and tore it open without hesitation.

“no. Rather, it’s a good thing for me. Obtaining legendary level quests requires austerity. “If you give it to me for free, it’s welcome here.”

From his memory, it was at least five years later that a legendary quest was revealed to the world.

Being able to get it first.

It was a challenge worthy of the name of eating alone.

[When I was there, he saved one amazingly.]

Yor burst into laughter as if he was surprised to see his lack of hesitation.

▶ A legendary level quest has been obtained.

▶ Hidden quest 『Incarnation of the Seven Snakes』 has been added.

▶ The incarnation that follows the one who handles the seven sleeping snakes awakens. Make it your limbs.

▶ New perks are created according to the number of incarnations acquired.

“…!!!”

At that moment, Namgung couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘Seven snakes…’

Because I knew what that meant.

‘no way?’

Although the names were different, Namgung was able to immediately understand the meaning of the quest.

‘The gates of hell open and a monster called the first disaster appears half a year later.’

A deadly force of 100 people, including the Revelators and powerful figures from each country, stood against the disaster.

The results were disastrous.

Although they managed to hunt down the boss, only three of the 100 people survived.

However, without any time to mourn, disasters struck humanity one after another.

Seven disasters that occurred over 25 years.

Monsters that took hundreds and thousands of lives.

If the 7 world bosses are the incarnations of snakes mentioned in the quest…

‘I can make them my minions.’

You have obtained a quest more valuable than any other level of reward. He

clenched

his fists unconsciously as his chest trembled.

“Not bad.”
