The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 119
Episode 119
[Cruch…?]
[Cruck…!!! Crunch!!]
The ice trolls below the lake hesitated for a moment and started shouting at each other in unintelligible words.
“It looks like we’ve arrived.”
Changhwan could understand why they reacted.
“Let’s quickly wrap up here and get moving.”
“Yes, got it.”
The two people who were dealing with the ice troll group looked relaxed, unlike the first time.
Crash –
Changhwan raised his gun.
▶ Title: The effect of Magic Eye Hunter is activated.
▶ Obtain one of the blessings of the six visions.
A golden roulette containing six bullets spun quickly above my head once again.
▶ Chain bombs were obtained.
Sigh…!!
Dozens of bullets fell on Changhwan’s head and seeped into his gun.
Boom! Tootong!! Too-too-tong!!!
Although it was a sniper rifle, Changhwan’s muzzle spewed fire at high speed, and the bullets hit the heads of the trolls around him.
[…Keez!!]
They fell helplessly from Changhwan’s attack.
Unlike the first time, when a difficult fight was expected, the trolls seemed so frightened that they did not even dare to approach the two.
Not surprisingly, none of the remaining trolls were in good health.
Despite their hard ice scales, their flesh was torn and tattered here and there.
Kkkdeudeudeuk –
Gyeongin pulled out a protest.
Paang-!!
With a crackling sound that cut through the air, the arrow pierced the troll’s chest.
[Crunch… Crunch….]
It was a strange thing.
The guys who had been running at them so fiercely now didn’t offer any resistance to the two men’s attacks, as if they wanted to kill them quickly.
“But… did you know this result?”
Gyeongin, who was seeing the reason with his own eyes, said in a low voice as he put the arrow back.
“well. I’ve never seen it used until now… I think I got it when I went to the Yaksha world. “Wouldn’t you know something?”
“You come with truly unbelievable abilities.”
Gyeong-in swallowed his saliva without realizing it and spoke to Chang-hwan.
Wow!!!!
The body of the ice troll that had died a moment ago disappeared in a puff of black smoke, and a skeletal arm protruded from the floor.
[Kirik…Kirik….]
[Keeeeek!!!]
The troll that had become undead rushed at the other living troll and started biting off flesh here and there.
Munch-munch-munch-
That wasn’t all.
The eyes of the two people were filled with the sight of undead devouring trolls everywhere.
“Isn’t it true that those guys ate more than the trolls we killed?”
“I guess so. Because they keep multiplying. “At first, there were only about ten trolls, but soon there were more than half of the trolls.”
At first, only a few undead were resurrected from the Soul Zone, but as the trolls died one by one, the tide slowly turned.
“Allies don’t die, and even dead enemies become allies… With that ability, it’s a fight you can’t lose.”
“I don’t know. There is no such thing as perfection. Even if it’s status.”
“Is that so?”
“I think so. That’s why I’m trying to become stronger by any means necessary…”
Bang-taang-!!
Changhwan said as he finished the last remaining troll.
“It’s also the reason why I’m by your side for the chance of a shortcoming.”
He adjusted his gun and spoke to the inspector.
“let’s go.”
* * *
[I can’t believe it… It’s the [Philosopher’s Stone]… Yes, it was there. It’s not impossible, but…]
Moo-myeong could not hide his surprise at Namgung’s words, but at the same time seemed to understand them.
[It’s definitely not possible. If it were so easy to make, many wizards would have taken on the challenge long ago.]
[Krrrrrrr…]
Shalum began to stand up unsteadily with the sword stuck in his forehead.
“If you want to fight, I won’t stop you. You can attack at any time. “I don’t mind making plans and trapping them.”
Faat-
Namgung ran towards Shalum.
[Kaaaa!!!]
With a strong roar, the monster lifted its ax and swung it at him.
Buung-
But Namgung, who dodged the attack, climbed on Shalum’s shoulder and pulled out the sword stuck in his forehead.
Sigh…!!!
At that moment, red blood spurted out.
As the heart of ice was absorbed by Dan, the scales that had firmly protected it disappeared, and the troll’s appearance was simply decrepit.
“I don’t know if I can do it or not. “Den Howl in his previous life also obtained an ice heart, but was unable to create the [Philosopher’s Stone].”
Namgung glanced at Aira Michelle and spoke in a more cautious voice.
[But why…? Are you trying to take another gamble that won’t pay off?]
“Time.”
Wow…!!
Namgung pulled the sword stuck in Shalum’s waist towards himself with all his strength.
[Keeeeek…!!]
As the blade cut the troll’s skin cleanly, the internal organs poured out from the cracked wound along with a scream.
Grump –
Shalum fell to his knees and fell to the floor, his body trembling.
[…Time?]
‘With my return, whether you like it or not, everything has become faster since then.’
Things that happened years ago in a previous life are now happening in less than a year.
Of course, that wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
For most people, except for a few elites, the only change it brings is the ability to encounter stronger monsters more quickly.
‘But for those few elites, the accelerated time also gives them the opportunity to grow faster than in their previous life.’
Namgung chose Den Howl as the target of his growth.
Den Howl in his previous life also obtained an ice heart from Mt. Seolgwi Mountain.
However, as time passed and his magic system was completed, he wasted a lot of time adjusting to the ice heart’s magic.
He had no choice but to fall behind due to the wasted time, so obtaining the Ice Heart was more of a loss than a benefit to him.
[What you mean is that the time has been brought forward… so there is time to adjust to the ice heart?]
Namgung nodded.
The element of time gained due to the volatility of one’s existence.
He tried to make the most of it.
To do that, I boldly gave up the opportunity to become stronger.
For greater opportunities.
“Instead, Den Howl will reach a higher level than his previous life through the gap in time I created.”
[…Keck! [Kekkek!!!]
Namgung said, slamming his fist into Shalum’s mouth as she tried to recite the spell.
Wood-duk…!!
He pulled out Shalum’s tongue.
[Cruck… Crack…!!!! ÆÞÔÆÞÆ…!!!]
Shallum, who had his tongue pulled out, shouted something at Namgung, but he could not pronounce it properly, so it only sounded like a scream.
“Crazy… I ended up doing it.”
Seeing that scene, Eira let out a low sigh and shook her head.
“In the end, you ended up making your competitor stronger with your own hands. “There are no good people in this world forever.”
She looked at Namgung.
“Because humans are animals that can betray at any time. You might appreciate it now. But what if for some reason he points that cane at you?”
The coldness felt in Aira Michel’s cynicism was a kind of distrust.
“You will regret what happened today forever.”
“He’s a competitor… yes he can be. “The carnival will continue until there is a winner.”
“therefore!”
“but.”
The two looked at each other.
“The carnival does not end just because there is a winner. Even if only one of the Revelators survives… the gates of hell will continue to open.”
“…what?”
“So you shouldn’t just become strong alone.”
Eira Michel looked at him as if she couldn’t understand.
“I should have said this before. If ending the carnival is simply done as a winner-takes-all rule…”
Creep –
She flinched without realizing it.
“All of you have already died by my hands. Nevertheless, the reason I want to borrow your strength to fight is because we can continue our competition after the carnival is over.”
“….”
Namgung looked at her.
“Then what am I? Are you telling me to become a sacrifice? “That means dying.”
“huh. You are still a candidate for sacrifice. So don’t die in harsh conditions. “After completing the holy relic, I will kill you.”
Eira hesitated to answer and let out a low sigh.
“…an unlucky person.”
Damn…! Damn it…!!
It was then.
[Kruk?]
The area around Shalum’s chest began to slowly freeze. As pure white frost began to cover his entire body, starting from his chest, Namgung stepped back.
Sigh! Sigh! Pupupupupupupup…!!
The ice thorns protruding from the chest, which had turned pure white, grew in size in an instant.
The ice thorns sticking out through bone and flesh were stained red with Shalum’s blood.
Paaah-!!!
As the ice thorns exploded, red powder containing frozen blood scattered like flower petals in all directions.
[Crook… Crack…]
Shalum trembled in pain without even being able to moan properly.
The chest where the ice flower had bloomed was like a beehive, with dozens of holes in it, and blood was gushing out non-stop.
‘Hongryeon(紅蓮).’
Namgung quietly looked at the red ice flower made from Shalum’s blood as if he had new emotions.
We have already seen this, which was Den Howl’s specialty and ultimate technique in his past life.
“Sure…”
I turned my head and saw Den standing with a calm expression. Like the calm surface of a lake, Den’s magical power was more contained than at first.
But
the moment he took a step, his magic power fluctuated, like a cup full of water.
Perhaps, looking at the current point in time, he may have reached a higher level than Nam So-min.
‘Damn… It’s breathtaking magical power… Damn it!! ‘I should have had that!!’
Eira
was heartbroken, but she couldn’t say anything and could only look at him.
“Of course, there may be some among them who really need to be killed.”
Namgung thought of Jinwei. His alchemy is needed to create [Leah’s Grace], but he is clearly an evil person.
Sigh –
Namgung picked up Shalum, who was covered in blood, and threw it in front of Den Howl.
“But if it’s something that requires even that power, I will use it.”
Jeok… Jeok…
Magical crystals like ice picks began to appear on Den’s hands.
“Don’t just see the small fight in front of you. “Because that is what the status wants.”
As if following Namgung’s words, Den Howl slowly lowered his head and got down on one knee.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….
Dense magical power began to gather in his hands.
