The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 165

Episode 165

[Black Route.]

“That’s right.”

[As expected… you knew that too. Because creation follows a cycle, not a one-way path. Really, what on earth do you not know? ]

“In my past life, there was a guide called a fisherman. “His combat ability was not outstanding, but his hunting ability was the best in the world.”

[That’s fun. Are you saying that someone who is not a revealer discovered the black route? What happened to him? Unless you are a decent person, you wouldn’t be able to go in there and come back alive.]

“That’s right. But he came back alive. Even after experiencing the black route three times.”

Yor asked back as if he was dumbfounded by Namgung’s words.

[There is such a person? That’s ridiculous. Isn’t a person of that caliber superior to the Revelators?]

“Excellent. “I don’t know about his personality, but in terms of ability, he is a better person than me.”

[Isn’t it the same for you too that there is no blood or tears?]

“Of course it is the same for the enemy, but it is not the same for me, my family, and my colleagues.”

[So you’re saying he sold out his family and colleagues?]

“Huh. that’s right. “That person abandoned his family.”

[…Hmm?]

Yor’s expression turned into confusion at his unexpected answer.

Namgung sighed softly, feeling a look on his face that he didn’t want to remember.

“He is my father.”

Yor couldn’t believe his ears.

[If it’s your father… you mean he’s Nam So-min’s grandfather?]

“Of course. “I’m sure you’re not asking because you don’t know that.”

[What a stupid question.]

“You.”

[Keu… It’s not because I don’t know about blood relations. Normal people try to take care of their families in times of chaos, right? But why doesn’t your daughter ever ask about her grandfather?]

“It’s like that if you’re an ordinary human being. I said it a little while ago. That person abandoned his family. Somin doesn’t know her grandfather exists. “I know he died before he was born.”

[Hehe….]

Yor shook his head because the anger he felt from Namgung, or rather, his anger surpassed the anger.

[If you have the ability to hide from the eyes of your superiors… it would be a bit of a waste. He must be greater than you. [I hope you pick him as a revealer.]

“You only picked someone like Choi Hwi-soo. A guy like that would deal with a fisherman? “It’s greed.”

[greed? Oh my, are you climbing too much these days? Do you think I, of my stature, would be swayed by a human?]

Yor said as if he was dumbfounded, but Namgung chuckled as if he found it cute to see him like that.

“I’m saying this for you. It’s better to stop paying attention to him. When I discovered the Black Root… even in my past life, there were naturally those who wanted to receive that person as a revealer.”

Namgung said.

“Just as I inherited Choi Hwi-soo’s abilities. “Because the Revelator’s abilities can only continue once when the Revelator dies.”

[yes. That is why the Mother of the Breeze and the one who handles the fire were able to select a new Revelator.]

Yor nodded.

[But you are different from them. If in your past life you were not recognized by me and received power from the Revelator, those two were newly chosen by the Aspects upon the Revelator’s death.]

“But the one-time limit is valid. Otherwise, we will continue to replace the revealer.”

[yes. That means I also have one chance… Are you going to target that guy this time?]

“You killed Choi Hwi-soo.”

[Because that was before he took the Revelator’s test. It’s not against the rules.]

“Do whatever you want. But a little while ago I said. “Even in my past life, there were people who were targeting that person.”

[So?]

“But I am the one who finished the Great Demon’s quest. “You know what that means.”

[Kkkkk Do you want to say that you are better than your father? Anyway, my pride is strong.]

“It’s the opposite. He had made a contract with his status. But he was killed by Sang Sang.”

[What are you talking about. The Aspect killed the Revelator. That is impossible.]

“It means that he is a person who cannot be controlled.”

No matter how hard Yor tried to think about it, he couldn’t understand Namgung’s words.

“Trying to get involved is only going to cause trouble. “It would be better to let go of unnecessary greed and focus more on yourself.”

[Now that you say it like that, I’m even more curious? good. Then maybe you can tell me about this. Who made a contract with him in his past life?]

“Isn’t revealing the future a taboo even among the Aspects?”

[What do you think now? There is no need to hide the fact that you are a returner anymore.]

“An observer of the sun and the moon. He made a covenant with my father.”

Namgung answered his question without hesitation.

[The sun and the moon… This is a very strange thing. I’m sure things will turn out differently now than in my past life.]

Yor’s eyes lit up.

[Currently, the observers of the Sun and the Moon are at a crossroads regarding the revealer.]

Considering that Alek Traman has actually lost the power of the revealer, it is safe to say that the position of the observer of the sun and the moon is currently vacant.

[I understand why you asked me to return him to the position of Revelator. If he were to be chosen as a revealer… it would be like pointing a sword at his family.]

“…Not really. “It’s just that I don’t want Somin to look bad.”

[Okay, okay. Don’t say so.]

Despite Namgung’s answer, Yor nodded with a strange smile.

“….”

[Anyway, if you open the black route, the other Aspects won’t sit still. Honestly, even if the guide, who seems to be a fisherman, found the other side of the dungeon, it would not be possible until a long time later.]

Sigh…!!

When Yor stretched out his hand, dozens of dungeon images appeared like holograms in the air.

[Beyond that… it’s a very powerful regression perk that can’t be compared to what we’ve had so far.]

“Isn’t the fact that creating a quest that allows you to regress itself means enduring the anxiety of being able to surpass all those perks?”

[Well, there are some that were made half as a joke… Apart from regression, there are things that carnival participants are not allowed to touch.]

“The fisherman in his previous life targeted that untouchable thing three times? Why did he leave it alone?”

[You don’t know that. Because I didn’t live a past life.]

Yor pretended not to care, but I was actually curious. What kind of person is Namgung’s biological father, who knew about the black route even though he was not a revelator?

“Anyway, I’m going. It doesn’t matter even if I disturb you. “The map you threw in the first place was a trap, so there’s nothing to say.”

[If you do that, I won’t stop you. But since I can’t get involved… I hope he comes back alive. When you die, I will look for your father as a new revealer.]

“As much as you want.”

Namgung chuckled at his words.

Wow…!!

Yor disappeared after saying those words, and Namgung, who returned to the original world, sighed as if he was tired.

“No matter how many times I experience subspace, I never get used to it.”

[It’s strange that you say something like that when you don’t even care about the Tower of Wu.]

“Because meeting a person is tiring in itself. Especially Yor… The owner of the seven snakes seems friendly, but he is still someone whose true intentions are unknown.”

[Well, it’s a bit puzzling. Originally, being the owner of the seven snakes was a position that encouraged strife. [It is a being that creates status and status and constantly separates humans from each other…]

Latea thought about the seven snake owners at the carnival she had experienced.

Then, as now, there were eight phases.

However, even though the status was the same, the status sitting there was different.

Just as her world is different from this one.

Regardless, the current Yor was full of doubts, even to her.

The owners of the seven snakes she experienced were truly vicious and cruel beings.

[It’s so different from that guy that I wonder if they are of the same status.]

“That’s because you don’t really know about the owners of the seven snakes. “He is not a person who instigates trouble.”

[Hmm…?]

“The Seven Snakes just like entertainment. It just doesn’t matter whether the opponent is a phase or a human.”

Namgung spoke in a low voice.

“Even if he is his revealer, he will use it for entertainment.”

[I’m not helping you because I’m on your side…]

“It’s just because it’s still more fun to help me.”

Contrary to what it seemed, meeting Yor was like a life-threatening tug-of-war.

Constantly stimulating him and making sure he doesn’t lose interest in you.

‘That’s what I said, but if I attack the black route, he will have no choice but to help me knowingly or unknowingly.’

He couldn’t help but be curious as he heard that the fact that he had thought that no one could penetrate the back side of the dungeon was broken in his previous life.

No, I will miss you.

This means that humans are attacking the black route.

‘If it were other Aspects, they would go out of their way to stop it… but in the first place, he has no interest in the carnival competition between Aspects.’

That was the reason why he chose the master of the seven snakes as his status.

[Even if there was someone like that in your past life, I don’t think you would know how to attack it… What do you plan to do?]

“It’s as you said. “I heard that they conquered the all-black route, but I’ve never met that person.”

[You’re related by blood, but you didn’t even know life or death?]

“I finished the Great Demon’s quest, so I know life and death. Because it means he died somewhere.]

[…That’s just as bittersweet as it is.]

Latea smiled sheepishly at Namgung’s words, but Namgung’s expression was still cold.

“No one knows the strategy for the black route at this point. But there is someone who can attack, so we can take him.”

[Could it be… the fisherman you just mentioned?]

“That’s right. I’m going to meet that person. “I don’t know at what time he attacked the black route, but… regardless of the time, he is a human who will come back alive even if you throw him into the fire of hell right away.”

The other side of the dungeon.

A world where everything is turned upside down.

The moment an ordinary human being enters this strange world where the entrance becomes an exit and the exit becomes an entrance, his brain could explode from the upward perception pouring into his brain.

Namgung was going to such a dangerous place.

[It is truly an intimate meeting between father and son.]

“It is a very intimate meeting.”

He said, following Latea’s words, inserting the parchment with the dungeon map drawn on it into the belt.

“It’s been a while…”

Namgung slightly lifted the sword he was wearing at his waist.

“I need to sharpen my knife.”
