The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 174

Episode 174

“Because I did not receive any powers.”

It was an unexpected answer, but Galina still looked calm.

“You didn’t receive any powers? “Even your dying grandfather acquired three qualities?”

“No matter how many qualities you have, in the end you only have one life. “It is better to have no abilities than to live as a puppet.”

As she said that, she pointed to the faceless corpses.

“If not, I would be with them now.”

“Why do you want to assassinate Alexander?”

“It’s simple. “My grandfather is trying to kill me.”

“…why? “They say they don’t have any abilities.”

“Ability doesn’t matter. “It’s just because I’m the only blood relative he has left.”

Galina placed her hand on her chest.

“I need blood flowing through my body.”

“Is it about gaining qualifications?”

She nodded instead of answering.

“I think the conversation will be long.”

When

he snapped his fingers, the [Primal Dragon’s Bracelet] trembled slightly and the rocks surrounding him disappeared.

Muttering- Mumbling-

“Ah…”

She nodded slowly as the gazes of the people gathered all focused on her.

“What is happening?”

“Murder… I don’t know if it should be called a case, but first, collect the body and come inside the fortress.”

When Park Hyo-joo’s voice was heard, Namgung pointed to the body and said.

“…Murder?”

“Well, it’s similar. “Did Memorist come with you?”

“yes. Fortunately, there was a level 3 memorist in the alliance, so I came with him.”

“It’s level 3…”

Memorists, who have the ability to read the memories of objects, vary in the amount of memories they can read depending on their level.

At this point, level 3 was by no means a low number, but it seemed better not to have too high expectations.

“It would be nice if you could bring Ninagawa Erika, but… unfortunately, there is nothing we can do.”

It goes without saying that Erica’s skills were not only precognitive but also top-notch as a memorist, but as a revealer, it was not easy to tell her to come and go.

“Then please do me a favor.”

Park Hyo-joo nodded to Namgoong and called someone outside the building.

The moment he was about to pass by with Galina without thinking, Namgung’s steps stopped.

“for a moment.”

“yes?”

“no. “Not you, but there.”

Memorist, sung by Park Hyo-joo, hurriedly pressed the hat he was wearing even more at Namgung’s call.

“hey. It seems like we’ve met before. is not it?”

“….”

“See you Ma? Where? “Why why?”

Park Hyo-joo seemed embarrassed by Namgung’s words and asked him in a panic.

The team members giggled at seeing Park Hyo-joo for the first time, but she didn’t seem to hear their laughter.

“There was something I couldn’t forget.”

Gulp –

Park Hyo-joo looked at Namgung with a very nervous face.

Swish-!!

At the same time, Namgoong took off the hat that Memorist was wearing. Then the face hidden by the hat was revealed.

It was a rude act, but she didn’t say anything to Namgung after her hat was removed.

Rather, she, the victim, kept her head down as if she had committed a crime.

“What was your name? Oh yeah. Chae-song.”

“Oh, it’s been a while.”

‘Why do you even know my name?’

Park Hyo-joo looked at her with rolling eyes.

“I would have warned you not to be in my sight again.”

“…That’s what you called it?”

The woman who was panicking and shouting in a trembling voice was none other than the woman who had targeted the homeless people in the park on the day the first door opened.

“I guess I still managed to survive with my broken leg.”

“yes. It was a very good experience. “Thanks to you, I came up licking all the way to the bottom.”

“okay. “You should thank me.”

Clutter-

Chae Song-ah clenched her teeth.

“Um… do you two know each other?”

“You tried to kill me.”

“Aha… Huh? Eek?”

Park Hyo-joo couldn’t believe her ears at his answer and let out a scream-like cry.

“…Would you like to put aside the past? And I also came because I received a request. “If we hadn’t found a memorist there, we would never have met each other.”

Chae Song-ah took the hat that Namgung was holding and put it back on and said.

“I didn’t know you had the qualities of a memorist.”

It was a surprise to Namgung that he was reunited with her, who had once tried to get the head by killing someone, under unexpected circumstances.

“Well, maybe it’s because you broke my leg that I got this ability. “I gained qualifications by maximizing my emotions.”

“Maximizing emotions? “Aren’t you… a memorist who simply reads the memories of objects?”

“Rice doesn’t really matter, does it? Anyway, I also have the abilities of a memorist.”

“It doesn’t matter since the Union has information anyway. Even if it’s a thing of the past, you’ll have to do the right thing now. “I will watch to see if you do anything foolish.”

“….”

Chae Song-ah moved her lips but couldn’t refute anything. It’s no longer possible to know the difference between yourself and Namgung.

“Are you part of the Union?”

“…yes.”

“I’ll remember. egg plant.”

Park Hyo-joo looked at Namgoong’s back as he left the building and then at Chae Song-ah with an embarrassed expression.

“I don’t know what happened in the past, but I think you need to learn to be kinder to people.”

On the way into the Goblin Fortress, Galina spoke to Namgung.

“This is the guy who tried to kill me.”

“But I couldn’t kill it. And you said you broke her leg.”

“Do you think that’s enough compensation? “Are you one of the killers who cut off your fingers if you break your fingernails and cut off your wrists if your fingers are cut off?”

“…Once again, although Aleksandr is my grandfather, I am not a killer.”

“anyway. “I’m sure he will treat the person who tried to kill him kindly.”

“It’s not necessarily because of her.”

Namgung stopped walking and looked at her for a moment.

“If you become a little nicer, I bet a lot more people will follow you.”

“Be kind to me? To my ears, it sounds like he’s just trying to get you to accept his request.”

“Haha… were you caught?”

Galina laughed awkwardly.

“Well, it was both a combination and a combination. “It would be nice if I accepted the request, but other than that, I was sincere.”

“What nonsense. “Why don’t you think about yourself first before worrying about me?”

After entering the castle, Galina sat down and looked around curiously.

“It’s amazing that a village was built inside the tower, but this place is even more amazing. “I don’t think it was made with modern technology…”

“What’s strange? “From the fences around the village to the workshop techniques and weapons-making techniques used in the buildings, they are not modern technologies, but the power of supernatural abilities.”

“Yes, of course. “Just… whatever.”

Namgoong didn’t like the way she looked around as if she was doing some research.

‘It’s not clear yet whether he really ran away or just pretended to run away, so I’ll have to be careful.’

“Isn’t it time to take care of one’s own life rather than just visiting the house?”

He said.

“The reason Alexander is targeting you is because of your blood… Does that mean he has to sacrifice you to obtain his qualifications?”

“Although [Trace] is a secretive group, it is not a cult. “I don’t do things like offer living sacrifices.”

She smiled slightly at Namgung’s words.

“You don’t know that. Because one drop of blood is enough to make an offering worth it. “Just one drop could take your life.”

In return for that laugh, Namgung spoke coldly.

“Just because it’s a sacrifice doesn’t mean you have to die right away. Being able to kill at any time. The life of a puppet you mentioned is also a type of sacrifice.”

“….”

“What happens if you sacrifice blood?”

“…They said it would give them strength.”

“who?”

“Me and Grandpa. “Everyone.”

Namgung seemed to be able to roughly guess the deaths of the corpses remaining in the building.

‘It is a structure in which the higher-ranking person in the blood relationship gains qualifications in exchange for a drop of blood from the lower-ranking person…’

However, there were definitely those who were deprived of power.

Like the three dead people in the building.

‘Their position is naturally likely to be lower level.’

So, to whom does the stolen power go?

‘It could be a higher-ranking person, but…’

It seemed more likely that he would return to Carlos, the one who gave him the qualities.

That’s how a transaction is concluded.

Since a transaction is something in which both parties should benefit from each other, if the structure is such that Carlos gains the power of the subordinate, then there is a back and forth.

“In the end, you are a living sacrifice.”

The abilities gained by subordinates will eventually disappear.

However, unlike Gwangwol, where the ability simply disappears, Carlos’ granting of the ability was a terrible one, as it not only caused the ability of the subordinate to disappear, but also took away the life of the holder.

‘First of all, it could be a separate ability from the observer of the sun and moon.’

Namgung felt a little relieved after hearing her story.

If the power of Gwangwol were to enter someone with a different opinion than them, they would be creating their worst enemy.

‘Still, I never thought there would be another power similar to Gwangwol.’

Occasionally, with the death of the Revelator, a lower version of that ability was created.

Just as in his previous life, Namgung gained necromancy with the death of Choi Hwi-soo.

‘But Alek Traman is not dead, and Carlos’ abilities cannot be considered a deteriorated version of Gwangwol.’

It would be correct to view it as a completely separate ability.

‘It is an entity that can grant power similar to the power granted by the phase…’

There was.

However, Namgung did not expect that they had already moved.

That’s because they were the ones who only showed up around the time the 20th door opened.

Kwaak-

Namgung clenched his fist without realizing it.

‘…too fast.’

Everything, including the map of the dungeon obtained after hunting the giant demon, was progressing much faster than he expected.

There was one reason why Namgung remembered them.

‘Around the time I inherited Choi Hwi-soo’s necromancy… there was a guy with similar powers.’

Monster Lord Bintan.

He was different from Choi Hwi-soo’s necromancy and was also different from Kiman Yan’s corpse magic.

‘Because he was the one who handled the corpses of monsters.’

Anyway, the important thing was that Bintan’s abilities were not given by his status.

They are similar to the proxy clan, which can be said to be at the lower level of status, but they are a clan that receives thorough compensation for the power they give.

Strong power was tempting, and in order to survive, people begged for their power as if they were craving food.

But none of them survived.

Death God (Death God)

People called them that.
