The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 117
Episode 117
“I… I don’t know anything. “I just… did what my status told me to do.”
Aira Michel spoke to Namgung as if pleading with a tear-filled face.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…!!
Namgung twisted the sword stuck in her shoulder. Then, a sound like bones cracking penetrated the flesh.
“Aaaah!!!”
She screamed and fell, but the more she did, the deeper the blade sank.
“That’s no answer.”
Namgung looked down at her struggling and spoke in a cold voice.
“You were talking nonsense a little while ago. Instead of letting me know that Den Howl tried to frame me, join hands with me.” He said
,
stepping on the back of Eira’s hand.
“So tell me.”
“Mi Mipoong’s mother… told me!! “The Wanderer of the Four Seasons will begin a legendary quest!”
‘Hmm…’
“Continue.”
“…My mother told me to tell you about it. That’s how we make Den Howl fail his quest and use him as a sacrifice!”
She shouted urgently.
‘Sacrifice…? ‘Do you know that much?’
Namgung rolled his eyes slightly.
“You know everything. Legendary level quests have the power to change the world. That’s why it’s so important that only one can be opened for each phase.”
Eira looked at Namgung.
“But it is also something that is difficult to achieve. So wouldn’t it be nice to be a little happy? “It means that framing you falsely is that difficult.”
“You know the answer I’m looking for isn’t that sugar-coated answer.”
“….”
Eira’s lips twitched at his response without any change in emotion.
“Huh… yes. “Mother of the Breeze said… The quest planned by the Wanderer of the Four Seasons was not simply to frame you, but to kill you by making you a sacrifice.”
As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of Namgung’s eyes, pulled out the sword that was stuck in it, and began to heal his wounds.
“You, the returnee, will die? In fact, that is enough to change the outcome of the future. “It’s suitable for a legendary quest.”
She raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly, as if to please him.
“Mipoong’s mother told me about that fact. “To help you.”
“Does that mean your status wants to be on my side?”
“that’s right. You said it before. After all, we have to compete. But there are still too many competitors. Until it decreases a little….”
She said to Namgung, holding out her hand covered in hardened blood.
“It’s good to hold hands, right?”
“Like you said… that wouldn’t be bad either.”
“Okay then!!”
“Besides, the pantheon needs sacrifices.”
Then Aira Michel shouted as if it was an opportunity.
“As expected, the story makes sense. I know! That I am not a good person. But I won’t frame you like Den Haul did. “A guy who pretends to be good is worse than a bad guy.”
Namgung chuckled at her words.
“Wasn’t it like that in your past life too? “Den Howl must have framed someone, whether you or not.”
“….”
“If you join hands with me, I will help you complete the holy relic.”
“So what benefit do you get?”
“If you are a regressor, you would know that well. “The meaning of the 16 dungeons summoned around the world right now.”
Her eyes lit up and she spoke expectantly.
“Once you complete the relic, you can summon a temple that can use the power of the phase. However, if you sacrifice one of the Revelators at that time, you can summon the temples of the remaining Aspects regardless of whether you win or lose.”
At her words, Namgung’s suspicions turned into confidence.
‘Aira Michel definitely knows about the pantheon. The fifth door has not yet begun.’
“I won’t be greedy. That’s all I want. The quest’s reward is yours to take. “It’s absolutely nothing to lose, right?”
She answered without hesitation.
Her position will definitely be different from that of Namgoong, who knows the future through experience.
‘It is against the rules for a person to mention the future on their own. Sangji is not a tribe that does anything that causes losses. There must have been a good reason for doing something like this despite the risk…’
But it’s not enough.
For doing this much work, the reward Aira Michel received was too weak.
‘There must be something more.’
That was the reason why Namgung did not let go of his doubts.
“But it’s strange.”
“…huh?”
“I like the fact that Breeze’s mother read the plan of the Wanderer of the Four Seasons and played the game. But did the Wanderer of the Four Seasons really not know that?”
Namgung looked at her slowly.
“Legendary level quests are something you have to be careful enough to do, as you said, only once. But you let someone else know about that?”
Jeop- Jeok- Jeok-
Namgung walked in front of her.
“I don’t think I would ever let anyone else know about my plans.”
“Well… how should I know if it’s a matter of status? But isn’t it a good cause? If one person has to die anyway, all we have to do is make the person who tried to frame him pay for his crime. is not it?”
“If you look at the results alone, yes. But…”
Slurp –
Namgung’s sword touched her neck.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s suspicious.”
“What what?”
“Just as you said, in his past life, Den Howl framed someone on Mt. Seolgwi. The target was Alek Traman.”
“…!!”
She couldn’t hide her surprise at Namgung’s words.
“At that time, the fifth door opened much later than it does now. It was a harsh environment. However, as time passed, the skills of those who survived were much higher than they are now. The same goes for you Revelators.”
“What do you want to say?”
“At that time, 100 people were deployed to attack Seolgui Mountain. “They were truly capable people, not just shabby guys from special forces.”
Namgung looked at her.
“Alec Traman was framed for the deaths of those 100 people.” His fingers dug into Eira’s shoulder
,
where the wound had barely healed.
“Ahh!!!”
“If you’re going to frame me, you have to become at least 10 times as much of a scapegoat.”
Namgoong put more pressure on his fingers.
“But there are only five scapegoats prepared to frame me? Why?”
Gulp –
The moment she saw Namgung’s bloody eyes, she swallowed dry saliva, forgetting the pain.
“That’s because your level of fanaticism has only grown to that point.”
The gates of hell were quickly conquered by Namgung.
It was inevitable that the skills of the revelators were still at a low level due to the shortened time.
“Ugh…”
The fingers began to dig deeper and deeper into the flesh of my shoulder.
“The quest Den Howl received.”
Namgoong said, pulling the shoulder with five fingers toward him.
“It was fake from the beginning, right?
“What are you talking about!! “The Mother of the Breeze found out about the plan of the Wanderer of the Four Seasons and gave her the hint!!”
“no. I didn’t know the plan. Of course I knew. Because, whether in the past life or the present… it was all planned by Mipoong’s mother in the first place.”
“Ugh…!!”
“Den Howl didn’t say he had a quest for me, he said ‘there is a quest’.”
So, I thought the quest might have been given to the leaders of the White House rather than to Den.
But it was strange.
Why did the Wanderer of the Four Seasons give the quest to the wrong people rather than his own revealer?
“I had no choice but to fall for the wrong people. If I had given the quest directly to Den Howl, he would have been suspicious. That’s why I gave the quest to ordinary people who don’t know about the existence of phases.”
“That can’t be possible…!! Why does my status make me do good things for others? A precious quest that can only be done once…!!!”
“Because the quest can be taken away. is not it? Breeze’s mother would have told you.”
“What is that…”
At that moment, Aira Michel’s face turned pale.
“By now, the leaders of the White House are probably long dead and gone. Of course, you would have gotten the lost quest back.”
Namgung said.
“Hmm, should I kill you right here? Then you will know.”
“No kidding…”
“I don’t know, but the White House is probably devastated. “I guess the reason you decided to join hands with me was to silence me, right?”
She denied this and that and gave no further answer.
“When we return from Mt. Seolgwi, Den will find out what happened at the White House. “You probably wanted to deal with him before that.”
His mind was moving in a complicated way, but no matter how many cases he came up with, he seemed unable to find an excuse that could convince him.
‘…Damn it.’
At the same time, all the tortures that had been done to him thus far came to mind.
Namgoong is a person who can really cut his own throat.
“Den Haul and the White House are playing into your hands, it’s none of my business. “But it’s unforgivable that you took advantage of me and thought about blowing your nose without touching me.”
Creep –
Aira Michel tried to get up immediately due to the overwhelming fear, but like a newborn calf, her legs became weak and she kept falling over.
“Then…!!”
She shouted with a meaningful expression.
“I’ll give you my quest too!! You’re all right. Breeze’s mother did plan this incident. I’m sorry for not being honest with you. but…!!”
Eira simply bowed her head and prayed to Namgung as if she was speaking with honest feelings without making any excuses.
“More doors will open in the future. “Isn’t it better for the future if there are 7 people who offer sacrifices rather than having only 1 person complete the holy relic?”
“so?”
“But no one will sacrifice themselves, and someone has to take the lead in choosing the sacrifice. “I’m trying to do the cruel things you don’t want to do!!”
“Of course… you could think so.”
“Is that so?”
“Then how about this? “If only you had thought about carrying a gun.”
Namgung looked down at her and said.
“Just become a sacrifice yourself.”
…Hiccup.
Eira Michel’s shoulders trembled.
