The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 170
170:
Quaggggeuk…!!!
Namgung couldn’t believe the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Nam Ki-cheol, who caught the lightning ball in his hand, broke it without any hesitation.
“how…?”
But instead of answering, Nam Ki-cheol scattered the shattered remains of the lightning balls in front of him.
▶ King Thunder has been defeated.
The notice was brief.
But strangely, there was no general compensation or anything like that.
Instead, King Thunder’s body slowly disappeared and several pieces of weapons fell to the ground without even being in the box.
‘It’s similar to when we caught the sub-dragons at the Tower of Wu. Rather than the body disappearing and a reward box remaining, it’s like killing a real creature…’
Maybe it’s because the black route shows the essence of the dungeon.
A real dungeon, not something fused with reality.
“Hmm, there’s a circle on one belt. “Do you need anything?”
Two weapons in Nam Ki-cheol’s hands.
Numbering 41.
Name: Belt of the Thunder King.
Grade: Epic (highest-highest)
▶ A belt used by the Thunder King. The lightning bolt was made so that it could be inserted into the belt like a javelin.
▶ Grants level 2 (+1) lightning resistance to the holder.
▶ It dramatically increases physical strength.
▶ The power of lightning can be stored.
There were options that I, as Namgung, had never seen before, such as ‘higher’ or ‘plus’ attached to the rating.
‘Does this mean that it performs better than regular epic weapons?’
Namgung nodded.
“I didn’t even catch it. “If you need anything, use it.”
“It’s not like I’m going to wear something like this on my head when I’m old… Take this and give it to Somin.”
Numbering 27.
Name: Ice Flower Circlet
Grade: Epic (First)
▶ Circlet of Gainas, wife of the Thunder King.
▶ Grants level 1 freezing resistance to the holder.
▶ Allows you to convert magical power into elemental power.
▶ You can use the Snowflake Queen’s abilities.
▶ Frozen Zone – Caution: Requires enormous magical power.
Just looking at the circlet made of sparkling crystal gave me a sense of power.
“Somin doesn’t know that her grandfather exists.”
“Thank goodness. “I think it’s the best thing you’ve ever done.”
“Is that what you’re going to say now?”
“Don’t let me know for the rest of your life. “As your father, please do me a favor.”
“….”
Namgung felt somewhat angry at Nam Ki-cheol’s refusal first.
“ask…? “Is that what you want to do?”
“hmm?”
“You’re asking me to ask for something as if there was some reason behind abandoning my family.”
He threw the circlet to Nam Gi-cheol.
“I didn’t hunt it, so it’s not mine. If you want to give it, you can give it. “If you have the confidence to appear in front of Somin.”
Nam Ki-cheol made a complex and subtle expression at his words.
“What are you doing?”
After throwing the circlet to him, Namgung started searching for something on King Ure’s body.
“In a normal dungeon, it should be a basic reward, but…”
He put his hand into the corpse that did not disappear, pulled out the intestines, and pulled out a small bead inside.
Crackling… Crackling….
“It resembles the lightning ball behind the Thunder King.”
Nam Ki-cheol looked at it and said.
“It’s the same thing. “You can catch it like this because it is still unfinished… but if you take it to Gainas, you can make a complete lightning orb.”
“Making beads for the person who killed her husband? Is it because they are monsters that they have no love for them? “I don’t understand why you don’t take revenge.”
“Because I’m going to make a deal with her. She has no choice but to complete the lightning orb. “Because you have to give it to your child.”
“kid…?”
“He is the last bloodline of King Thunder.”
Namgung looked at Nam Gi-cheol.
“Better than humans.”
“….”
Namgung said to Nam Ki-cheol, who kept his mouth shut, as he put the beads into the purse.
“Salamander, the boss of the 7th door, is not a very difficult monster. “I’ve already gotten his jewels… I’m sure he can hunt them even if it’s not me.”
He planned to give the rest of the subdragons, including Salamander, a chance to improve their specifications.
‘This will be the minimum preparation for the next door.’
Although the experience of death was terrible, being able to obtain the desired Noble Phantasm from the Lightning Abyss was a satisfying result.
“Let’s go back.”
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!!
Namgung walked toward the exit of the dungeon.
At least the exit was no different from what he knew, even if it was a black route.
* * *
“How about we talk now?”
“What do you mean?”
“How I discovered the black route.”
Despite conquering the dungeon of the century, the two did not appear to be happy or cheering.
In fact, I even felt like the moment I was conquering the dungeon might have been less awkward.
“I told you. “As I learned various abilities, I learned them.”
“Don’t you know that it’s not an ability that can be learned like that? “If you can get it by learning such awkward moves, the teachers who taught you the skills would be more likely to take the black route.”
“well. Sometimes being too authentic can be toxic. “Because they try to see the world only by what they are good at.”
“Is it really because of that? “Some carnival qualities are acquired, but true abilities are often innate.”
“Like Somin’s magic power?”
Nam Ki-cheol looked at his son.
“I regret what happened to Su-ah.”
“It’s done. “I didn’t even see him at the wedding, so there’s no reason to be sad.”
Even though he didn’t even call his father in the first place.
“okay. I should express regret to you, not Su-ah. “I wasn’t able to go when your mother passed away.”
“That’s what makes me most angry.”
Namgung glared at him.
“It’s not that you didn’t come when my mother died… It’s that I also didn’t see my wife leave. “Even if I die, I don’t want to live like you.” The sound of teeth grinding pierced Nam Ki

cheol’s ears.
“I did the same thing.”
“It was something that could not be helped. I never thought the Golden Boughs would come out like that in the process of clearing out ISR…”
“If you had continued with Unit 711, this wouldn’t have happened. When we met again in the damn unit, I should have beaten him first…”
“…”
Nam Ki-cheol didn’t give any answer.
“It is true that I abandoned you when you were young, and it is also true that I made you a captain when you joined the 711. But just know that it was all for you.”
“Stop talking nonsense. “In the end, I don’t want to tell you how to open the black route.”
Namgung said to him.
“There are still two more dungeons left to conquer… but there’s nothing we can do about it. You can’t open the black route by yourself. “If we conquer both dungeons, we will be able to prevent the future invasion of monsters much more easily.”
“A guy who has experienced death a little while ago is good at saying things like that.”
“If I can save people by just dying a few times, it’s not a business that is losing money.”
“Are you playing hero too?”
“no. “The people I have to protect include my family and colleagues.”
Nam Ki-cheol sighed at his answer.
“Anyway, this guy is so embarrassing. “I’m just saying this as a stab, but honestly… if necessary, I’ll take the black route instead.”
“That’s not allowed!”
“why? I can conquer the dungeon much more reliably than you. Don’t you remember? “I broke the lightning ball instead of you, who was trembling.”
“…Anyway, that’s not possible. Please tell me how to open the black route. Otherwise, I won’t hand over the dungeon map.”
“You’re being so stubborn.”
Nam Ki-cheol said as if he didn’t understand, but Namgung couldn’t bear to tell him that if he opened the second black route, something might happen to him.
“Anyway… it’s done.”
Namgung scratched his head and clicked his tongue.
“Do you really want to know how to open the black route?”
“If I had a light heart, I wouldn’t have come to see you.”
“Then clear this place. “As you said, if you want the power to save more people, start by watching the people in front of you.”
Namgung looked around.
The place where they were standing was the top of a mountain called Black Molar.
Judging by the commotion coming from below, it seemed like they had probably found the officers they had knocked down at the entrance.
“They said they created something called a world union. Preventing a monster invasion isn’t necessarily the only thing that saves people. “It is also important to ensure that the remaining people can survive.”
“This is an unbecoming admonition.”
Even as Namgung said that, he started running down the mountain without hesitation.
“It’s over there!!!”
“Catch him!!!”
The police officers who were searching the area saw Namgung and started shouting.
Eeeeenn…!!
The siren rang and all the troops in the barracks were mobilized to surround Namgung.
“Don’t move!! “Hands up!!!”
“Everyone knows who I am.”
Although his voice was low, the officers instinctively backed away from his words.
“I know who you are. But I think we need to hear why they barbarically attacked and took down our people.”
It was then.
A loud voice was heard among the officers.
“This is under the government’s jurisdiction. “If the attack was carried out without a valid reason, we will file an official complaint with the World Federation.”
Even at a glance, you could tell that his dark skin and tendon-protruding forearms were well-trained, unlike other soldiers.
“Who are you?”
“My name is Diego. “I manage this mountain.”
“Ah… you are that guy.”
The boy I met before coming here was the militia leader I was afraid of.
“Did you know that that acid is toxic?”
“….”
“done. It hurts my mouth to even say it one by one. “I know that’s why they’re the only ones wearing gas masks.”
Jeop- Jeok- Jeok-
Namgung walked towards Diego.
“Well, okay. “If you can figure out how to open the black route just by doing something like this, that’s a benefit.”
Wow-!!
Without hesitation, he struck Diego’s cheek with the broad side of the [Kimyeong Sword].
“Ugh!!!”
Diego let out a scream like a short-haired horse, and his body shook violently and fell to the floor.
“It’s all you…!! Even if it is a world union, do you think it is okay to ignore other countries like this?!!”
“He’s a pretty strong guy. I saw that he didn’t die even after being hit once. Or is it because I strengthened my body with runes taken from the lives of children on that mountain?”
“You bastard…!!”
“why? Are you pissed? It’s the same thing you did to those kids. “Because he used his power against the weak.”
Namgoong said as he pushed Diego’s face a little more into the dirt.
“nation? “Is it a country that does this to children?”
he said
“Yes, thanks to you, I will be a good example. “It’s possible for a country or two to disappear even without monsters.”
Gulp –
At that moment, thick saliva along with dirt went down Diego’s throat.
