World's Strongest Troll

Chapter 39 Rich Argamer (2)

The territory of the Duke of Bergen, where most of the facilities are almost destroyed and are not functioning properly.

Most of the NPCs were killed by Jaeyoung's undead army, but even those who barely survived were frightened and ran away somewhere.

“This place is full of death.”

Egudiel looked around the ruined estate with a serious expression. He raised his holy power, frowning at the unpleasant scent of death that could not stand it.

Woo woo woo-

A pure white aura that rises around Egudiel. Under normal circumstances, any wasteland would have reacted to the divine power of transforming into a rich land full of vitality with the blessing of a warm god, but the land here rejected his blessing.

Gripping Jijik-

Divine power that gives tremendous counter-resilience and fades. Egudiel raised his eyes in amazement at the land still full of the scent of death despite the use of his power.

“what....?”

Although he wasn't a priest specializing in blessing and purification, Egudiel was still a member of the Knights Templar under the direct control of the Pope and the highest ranked Holy Knight. Considering the divine power and authority he possessed, who received special attention from the gods, the traces of general evil (惡) should have been easily cleansed.

“...Egudiel-nim, the dark energy you feel here is unusual.”

“I guess so.”

The purification spells of the priests he brought are also not responding properly. Egudiel realized that the current situation was serious as he saw the very weakly purified land despite pouring all his divine power into it.

“Um... Paladin-sama, are you having any problems?”

An official from the Maroon Kingdom urgently dispatched to the territory of the Duke of Bergen. Egudiel said with a slightly firm expression to him who managed the abandoned territory as a temporary measure.

“It seems that the black magician who appeared here is more powerful than I thought. Has anyone seen a warlock appearing here?”

“Uh... there is. Witnesses say...”

He began to read the paper he pulled out while rummaging through his belongings, as if he had recorded the witnesses' stories. Egudiel's eyes widened as he listened to the official's description of the black magician's characteristics.

“Why are you like that?”

Seeing Egudiel with a completely different spirit than before, the official asked in bewilderment.

“Are you sure? Eyes burning in a skinny and diminutive body with only bones remaining. And the fact that he freely summoned the highest rank undead, including the Death Knight?”

“That’s right. This is a testimony from an adventurer who was in the estate of the Duke of Bergen at the time. I'm sure it's something I've seen firsthand.”

In response to the official's confirmation, Egudiel raised his divine power again. Unlike before, I did my best.

Woo woo woo.

A tremendous amount of divine power completely covered the entire surroundings. The difference was so drastic that the holy power poured out by dozens of priests seemed like a candle in front of the sun. The investigators who saw the scene exclaimed with ecstatic expressions.

“Ahhh!”

“Oh God!”

A power that would not be strange even if it were a miracle. Egudiel, who drew all of that power, spoke softly.

“Reveal, remnants of evil.”

“Huh! Those things...!”

The official who followed the investigation team exclaimed in fright at the sudden sight. The pitch-black earth. The land was full of vengeful spirits screaming and screaming as if their feet were tied up.

Ki-ah-

dying and dying-

huh. Why only me-

The resentment, anger, and envy of the living pour out from the ghosts that have never been seen before. Overwhelmed by all these emotions, when the official was about to lose consciousness, Egudiel suppressed them all with his powerful divine power and shouted.

“All will be protected in God's rest. I proclaim Sanctuary.”

Paaah.

At that moment, a storm of brilliance and divinity erupted like an explosion. With his proclamation, countless ghosts tied to the earth faded. Souls disappearing with a comfortable face, whether they are purified and find rest. And the land where they disappeared returned to normal again. On the contrary, it is a land rich in vitality that pulsates more than before.

“What the hell is this...”

An official of the Maroon Kingdom who can’t keep his mind on the momentary change. Leaving him alone, the priests and Egudiel started talking to each other with serious expressions.

“Egudiel-sama, this power is definitely...”

“Yes. This is no mere warlock.”

Death Field, the worst necromantic art that captures the spirits of the dead and turns them into undead. It was rare for a black magician to be able to use this in such a wide range.

“If a lich could create such a large-scale death field and had a flaming eye light...

And those who were here could naturally deduce an existence based on the official's testimony.

“No way.....”

“Argamer, he's back.”

legion of death. ar gamer.

Concluding that the worst slayer on the continent has returned, Egudiel looked at a priest and said,

“Adine, report this to the Holy See immediately.”

“All right.”

“Egudiel, then what should we do now?”

A lich known to have gone into hiding after being active hundreds of years ago. I don't know, but since I'm a lich who lives eternal life, I must have finally started working after recovering from the damage. Egudiel looked around at the priests with a serious expression and said,

“From now on, our investigative team will pursue the evil lich's whereabouts.”

Egudiel pulls out a knife with a cool expression. Swinging a blue-edged sword once, he said, as if he were going to condemn and punish the evil group of evil that hindered him.

“Find out and interrogate all suspects, and bring a righteous divine judgment to those involved. Until all remaining evil in this land is rooted out.”

At the moment when Egudiel decided to punish the evil group, a notification came to Arcadia Co., Ltd.

[Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Emerging.]

[The linked quest ‘Witch Hunt' has been created.]

The terrible notification that all employees are working overtime.

* * *

[Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Emerging.]

[The linked quest ‘Witch Hunt' has been created.]

As soon as this notification came in, all departments of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were put on emergency alert again.

“Aaaaaaaaaaa! Please!”

“What the hell is that fucking Act 1 scenario about!”

“Uh... Honey, I’m sorry, but I work overtime again... Huh? Please don't ask me to break up with you.....”

“Uh honey... I'm sorry.....”

Home Life Leisure Life Love Frontline. The Act that destroys all of this. 1 chain quest. As if they were not satisfied with the beginner village destruction incident the other day, this scenario, which was triggered again, exceeded their expectations and overflowed.

“Report Manager Kang.”

Executive Director Han Han Kwon recommends that you start watching as soon as you sit down as if you are used to it now. At his words, Director Kang Tae-hoon nodded, got up from his seat, and started briefing on the newly updated quest.

“You must have been notified a little while ago, but Act. The chain quest witch hunt in 1 is related to the recent incident in the estate of the Duke of Bergen.”

“You mean the place where the lord who tried to start the war was?”

“That's right. Everyone is well aware that the GM Group was deeply involved in the war plan and tried to profit from it.”

At that, everyone nodded. An incident with such a big impact that it can be said that not only Arcadia employees, but most people across the country are already aware of it. However, this linked quest exploded in a completely unrelated part.

“The linked quest created this time was created due to a lich that was directly involved in the death of the Duke of Bergen.”

“Rich? If it's that monster...”

“Yes. He is the main culprit in the murder of the Duke of Bergen, whom we could not confirm due to lack of access, and he is the one who prevented this war.”

Beyond killing the Duke of Bergen, a mysterious existence that destroyed all the foundations he had built. Thanks to that, an unexpected war was scheduled to break out, but it was also the object of gratitude within Arcadia because it made it impossible.

“How exactly does that relate to this quest? What is the Saint Empire?”

Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who was reading the report quickly while listening to the explanation, asked a question. Director Kang Tae-hun sighed at his question and continued talking.

“Huh... I heard rumors from the Saint Empire and dispatched an investigation team to the estate of the Duke of Bergen.

“Rich argamer?”

“Did we ever make a setting like that?”

“Is there? It’s a similar situation to the last Holy Demon War!”

A strange past setting that pops up again. In a historical setting that goes back hundreds of years, an exclamation of dissatisfaction erupted again in the conference room as data that they had never planned on their own was pouring out.

“So... what is the most troubling part right now?”

Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han calmed the meeting room full of irritation and anger with a single gesture. In response to his question, general manager Kang Tae-hun broke out in a cold sweat as if he couldn't bear to speak.

“That's it... the purpose and direction of the investigation team and the Saint Empire...”

“What's the direction...?”

“The killing of all evil on the continent...”

“Annihilation of all evil?”

“What the hell does that mean?”

People tilting their heads as if they didn't understand what that meant. However, after seeing the report, which contained the estimated damages, executive director Kwon Myeong-han asked with a bloodless face as if he couldn't believe it.

“What is it? Can this be...?”

Myung-Han Kwon, executive director of Arcadia Co., Ltd.'s Korean branch. Even that, losing his composure, he looked at Director Kang Tae-hun and asked. A face that wants you to tell me that your expectations were wrong. But the reality is harsh. Director Kang Tae-hoon shook his head with a very sorry expression in response.

“I will kill all those with evil-related jobs..... including adventurers...”

“Yes...?”

“Wait a minute. If adventurers are included, that means...!”

Inside the conference room as if a bomb had fallen. When those who realized the meaning of Director Kang Tae-hoon's words started pouring out one by one in fright, the meeting room suddenly became as noisy as the market floor.

“All quiet!”

bang.

Slamming the conference room desk violently, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han stood up. Then, the conference room became quiet in an instant. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han closed his eyes for a moment, inhaled and exhaled deeply, and spoke to everyone in the conference room with a calm expression.

“First of all, hit the emergency notice right now. Whatever it is, users with evil occupations, including warlocks, can be attacked indiscriminately, so be careful when playing.”

“All right.”

“There will probably be a lot of complaints from dead users, but we respond well by switching to a 24-hour emergency system. As long as it's a quest linked to the main scenario in the game anyway, there's nothing we can do about it. Just make sure you understand.”

“....All right.”

At the words of Kwon Myeong-han, the expression of Kang Hyuk-soo, who is in charge of the customer center team, was charred. He couldn't find an answer, even if he listened to his own heart as to how he could make him understand this.

“Ah... the old days were good.”

Even at the beginning of the opening, he had a leisurely time drinking coffee. He missed the past with a desperate heart because he could not have imagined that his company life would be so crazy and rough.

And whether he knew his feelings or not, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han spoke to the team leaders and managers of each department gathered in the conference room with a more serious expression than ever before.

“From now until this linked quest is over, the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. will go into emergency mode.”

Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han's declaration to enter the emergency system.

As a result, the phones of all executives and employees working in the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were in an uproar as they canceled their appointments made in advance. Cursing the person who made this situation desperately.
