The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 10

Episode 10

“Now wait a minute… Legendary quality?”

Namgung looked at his daughter alternately with the notification that appeared in front of him with a mesmerized face.

‘Somin has magical powers…?’

This was something I didn’t know.

That’s because he lost his daughter right after the gates of hell opened.

‘It can’t just be a coincidence.’

Over the past 25 years, Namgung has seen only a handful of people with legendary qualities, excluding the revelers.

“….”

But the surprise and joy were short-lived as he looked at his daughter with a distraught face and let out a low sigh.

No matter how excellent a talent is, it is meaningless if it is not properly honed.

“In the end, those young hands will have to be covered in blood….”

“Brother. There is no need to let Somin learn magic if you don’t want to. “Honestly, dealing with monsters is a difficult task for us as adults, isn’t it?”

Myung-Hoon spoke in response to Namgung’s lament.

“I don’t know what happened, but even if the world turns into hell, shouldn’t the children live happier than us? “Even if we can’t help children see only the good, it is the adult’s job to help them avoid the bad at least a little.”

He smiled with a kind face.

Being able to smile even in such hopeless situations is probably Choi Myung-hoon’s greatest weapon.

“But I don’t think it’s wrong for Somin to have power if she wants to. “If, as you said, a hellish world is truly going to unfold… you should at least have the strength to protect yourself.”

“Yeah… you’re not wrong.”

“There are probably countless people who want to live but die because they are weak. “Maybe it’s a God-given opportunity.”

“God… Just like you said, they really don’t miss an opportunity. “It constantly puts people to the test.”

Namgung looked up at the sky.

“Ugh… Dad?”

Looking at the child waking up from his sleep, Namgung couldn’t help but extend his hand. Because his hands were stained with the blood of the monster.

“Somin!!”

“uh? mister?”

At that moment, Myung-Hoon was the first to greet his daughter by calling her name.

“Our Somin. Have you grown this much while not seeing each other? Now, in a little while, I will be as big as you. … huh?”

But Myung-Hoon could not finish speaking.

This is because Somin immediately wiped the blood from Myeonghum’s cheek with her sleeve.

“Are you hurt?”

“Haha… Then you’re fine. “Are you okay?”

“yes. I’m fine too. But…”

The buildings were broken down like ruins.

Even the broken corpses of monsters scattered around.

While I was unconscious, the surrounding scenery had changed dramatically. It was time for Somin to step forward to take a closer look.

“Don’t look.”

With a stern voice, the hem of the coat blocked her path.

When I raised my head, Namgung was standing there with a dull face.

Among the corpses covered by the hem of the coat was a human one. Among them, the number of those who died intact could be counted on one hand.

I didn’t want to show my daughter such a miserable sight.

Somin seemed to understand Namgoong’s intentions and snuggled into his arms.

Namgoong silently wrapped his arms around Somin’s shoulders as he felt a slight tremor along with the warmth.

Namgung hugged his trembling daughter tightly.

“mom!! mom!!!!”

It was then.

“Aaaah!!!”

“…uh?”

The three people turned their heads at the sound of a boy crying coming from somewhere.

“Huh… Hahahah.”

It was a crying child hugging his mother, who had collapsed with half of the goblin’s sword stuck in his side.

“Oh, Mom… Mom… to the monsters…”

The child was sobbing that he couldn’t continue speaking.

Somin, who had been shaking with fear just a moment ago, approached the little boy who was sitting down.

Gwaak –

And he hugged the child like Namgung did.

“…It’s okay to cry.”

“Heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck…

Your hands, the trembling hands, as if they had never done so before, gathered courage, and wrapped around a child who was sadder than you.

“My mom is in heaven too. “Crying doesn’t change anything… but it does make things a little better.”

Is this your own experience?

Namgung couldn’t help but smile bitterly at his daughter’s words, which were not typical of her age.

“Ugh! mom!!!”

“Somin will do well.”

Myung-Hoon looked at So-Min like that and spoke in a low voice.

“…I guess she resembles her sister-in-law.”

It was then.

‘no way…?’

At that time, a thought crossed Namgung’s mind.

The fact that his daughter’s magical powers may be related to his wife.

‘Sua’s death… Even though the name of the disease could not be found through real medical science, after the gates of hell were opened, there were people who showed symptoms similar to hers.’

And he remembered that it was all magical power.

“If we talk about the A pulpit, how can we talk about it without mentioning Captain Nam of Unit 711?”

Myung-hoon poked Namgung’s side while he was lost in thought.

“I am weak. So, he must have been afraid. Because I was in pain. “From the beginning, I wanted to put up a wall and lock the child in.”

Putting aside his worries for a moment, Namgung returned to reality and answered.

“Isn’t it obvious? Because it’s my father. “I am an orphan without a wife or children, but I still understand your feelings.”

Namgung smiled bitterly at his words and nodded.

“thanks.”

The child, who was crying so sadly in Somin’s arms, soon fell asleep as if she was tired from crying.

Somin carefully laid the sleeping child on one side and spoke to Namgung.

“dad. “Can’t he come with us too?”

“Dad, I want to do that too, but it’s hard to do. “Somin knows why, right?”

“Yes…”

Somin nodded weakly.

Namgung’s heart ached for no reason when he saw her drooping like a puppy getting wet in the rain.

If she had acted in an unreasonable way, she would have been scolded, but instead of doing so, it was so sad to see her just give up on her own.

That doesn’t mean you can’t carry around a child who is like a piece of luggage.

It was a time when Namgung’s mind was becoming complicated.

[it serves him right. What did I say? You said you would be shackled, right? [It was said that it would be natural for someone who controls death to follow the path of life.]

That was then.

The space in front of Namgung became distorted.

“…Yor?”

[You did this well. Capturing the Goblin Lord on the first day the gate was opened… If all goes according to plan, the fortress should be built before midnight and goblins should be spawned throughout the city…]

Tuk-tuk-

Yor, who appeared from sub-space, is the Goblin Lord. He said while kicking his body.

“…Is it okay for the Aspect to intervene in this way?”

[It’s thanks to your actions. Because the Lord died, no more goblins were created.]

“What’s the problem with that? “The more active I am, the better it is for you, isn’t it?”

[then. then. The more you struggle, the higher my score is compared to the rest. doesn’t care. The door keeps opening anyway.]

Yor waved his hand and said.

However, Namgung’s face hardened slightly at his last words.

Because in the end, it was like saying that this hellish thing would repeat itself until everyone died.

[However… the problem is that too many humans survived than planned.]

“What?”

[So the Aspects are in an uproar now. [Giggles.]

Myung-hoon and So-min took a step back, as if surprised by his sudden appearance.

“You seem to be happy that your plan failed.”

[Failure. That’s what the rest of the Aspects think. I’m something completely different. It is clearly the activity of my revealer. Isn’t that right?]

“I don’t think I came here to compliment you. “Just tell me what your plan is.”

[Your superiors are starting to pay attention to you.]

“You expected that from the beginning, right? I will upset your plans dozens of times in the future. “It’s just the beginning, but I’m sure it’s not over already.”

[Kukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… Crazy… Anyway, I like one thing you said.]

Yor held his stomach and laughed at Namgung’s answer.

[The superiors raised objections. Absorbing the heroic spirits here through necromancy… honestly, I thought it was amazing. Anyway, I’m narrow-minded…]

“I don’t think there’s any objection to it. Invoke evil spirits through necromancy. what is the problem?”

[Because they died before the carnival opened.]

“You’re talking nonsense. “If you’re bored, tell me to go and eat some shit.”

[Considering what they say… they are not wrong. Because all beginnings must begin with the beginning of the carnival.]

“Why?”

[Think about it. If you come out like this, you could use up not just human souls but other things as well.]

Yor shook his head.

[For example, the gods of Olympus or Valhalla. Although they are of a lower level than us, they are still beings with quite useful power. It would be unbalanced if they were also involved.]

“So?”

Rather, he looked up at the sky with a cynicism, as if he had expected this situation.

“You could just sit there and look down on us, but these people are risking their lives. You have the power to use it, but don’t use it? “That’s ridiculous.”

These were words addressed to the other seven who were looking down at him.

“If you are of my stature, think about protecting me first before imposing discipline on me. “Yor.”

[Ugh… I thought it would come out like that. So I came to offer you a compromise.]

“What is that?”

[It’s simple. Equivalent exchange. Life is life. You have already absorbed the power of several heroic spirits. There could be opposition from quite different phases. However, there are mistakes we missed…]

Yor spoke to him.

[I want to end this by taking just one life.]

“…What?”

[Don’t worry. Because I don’t even know you in person. Okay, how about that kid?]

He pointed to the kid standing behind Somin.

[You were planning to leave that child behind. If it’s going to hold you back, it’s better to cut it off. You know better than anyone else how important cool-headed decisions are.]

Yor grinned.

A long, thin tongue like a snake’s tongue licked his lips.

“What are you!!”

Myeonghun urgently raised his sword and blocked Yor’s path.

But at that moment, the black smoke that rose from Yor’s back faster than his sword took the shape of a snake and entangled Myeonghun’s arms and legs.

“Myunghun!!!”

[Insolent… How dare you stand in the way of the Aspect?]

Chilling –

At that moment, Yor’s words made the entire area go cold.

“Ugh…!!!”

Myung-Hoon screamed in pain as the snake slowly tightened his grip.

“stop!!!”

[Chwiik!! Chwiik!!!!]

Namgung tried to stop him, but the rest of Yor’s snakes stuck out their tongues to warn him.

[If you speak, act like a horse. It’s not very nice to attack the owner. You have to play in a way that accepts even cocky behavior.]

“You…!!”

[Don’t take it.]

As soon as Yor finished speaking, the snakes rushed towards the child in Somin’s arms. The two children couldn’t even scream and just hugged each other and closed their eyes.

“…no!!!!”

Namgung’s screams were heard.

I stretched out my arms as hard as I could, but it was too far to reach the children.

Cruelly, it feels like time has stopped.

They could clearly see the snakes surrounding them.

‘Like this again…!’

He bit his lip tightly.

Hwaaaaaaaaaah–!!!

It was then.

The moment the giant mouths were about to devour them,

surprisingly, the jewel in Namgung’s hand began spewing out flames.

▶ A weak soul comforts you.

“…uh?”

It was then.

Namgung could feel the soul flowing out of his arms.

“…Sua?”

He was startled and hurriedly stretched out his hand, but the soul was already wrapped around Somin, who was engulfed in flames.

“Now wait!!”

▶ The spirit affects Nam So-min’s awakening.

▶ The nature of magical power changes.

▶ Magical power becomes stronger due to spiritual power.

▶ Horsepower → Sasang Horsepower

“…!!!!”

Sssssssssssssssssssshhhh…!!!!

The flame that surrounded Somin changed into a colorful five-colored light and was instantly absorbed into her body as if being sucked in.

Kwasik…!! Kwazijijijik…!!

And blue lightning and red flames began to tangle in each of her hands.

▶ Abilities: Acquired the magical power of thought.

▶ I learned Sasangsul (beginner level).

Kwakagaga River–––!!!!!

At that moment, flames fell toward Yor as if to be seen.
