The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 214
Episode 214
“Haha, I don’t know what you’re talking about. “Am I becoming a monster?”
Nam Ki-cheol laughed as if he was dumbfounded by Namgung’s words.
“That’s the funniest thing you’ve ever said. “Do you think your father is a monster?”
“I’m not kidding. Actually, it’s not that special that I went through a carnival in my past life and returned through a quest. “It’s no wonder that there are people other than me who have experienced Carnival.”
“Did you bring more alcohol?”
Namgung took out a bottle of alcohol and handed it to him.
“How many doors have you experienced?”
Nam Ki-cheol emptied the bottle in one go and asked Namgung.
“This is the twenty-fifth.”
“It wouldn’t be an easy task if it was a quest that involved regression… I succeeded only on the twenty-fifth time. “You’re amazing too.”
“Because that was the only way. “I was just desperate.”
“It would have been the same for me.”
“It must have been…?”
“I don’t have memories of my past life like you do. The me of the time you went through is a me I don’t know. But to some extent, my actions there were understandable. “Because I have the same thoughts as I do now.”
“What does it mean?”
“What it means is that you’re trying to die.”
Gulp – Gulp –
Nam Ki-cheol continued to drink as if he was having a hard time telling his son about his decision.
“Whoa….”
“The thirtieth time.”
“yes?”
“This is the 30th door that I have been designated as the boss of the door.”
Namgung looked at him.
Although it was somewhat expected, Namgung didn’t know how to react after hearing those words directly from his mouth.
“Are you kidding?”
This is the answer he could think of at best….
He sighed to himself and looked at Nam Ki-cheol’s reaction.
“You should thank me. At least if I hadn’t died myself, I would have probably stayed alive until the thirtieth door opened.”
“Are you saying you died on purpose for me?”
“I don’t know, right? “Cluck…”
Seeing Nam Ki-cheol smiling bitterly, Namgung picked up the bottle of alcohol on the floor and quenched his thirst.
“They really killed a lot of people. Sometimes I committed murder out of a sense of duty, and sometimes it was out of personal emotion. And he did not choose any means or methods to achieve his goal.”
“So, wasn’t he the best agent in Korea and the world?”
“He is the worst murderer.”
“….”
“Should I tell you why I was able to open the black route because this is what happened? No. Should I say that’s why I was chosen as the boss of the door?”
Namgung sat in front of him.
“I would have said that before. Druid alchemy horoscope… There are many people with special abilities in the world. “I learned their abilities.”
“I did. He said that thanks to that, he was able to open the black route.”
“That’s half right and half wrong.”
Nam Goong waited for him with an anxious heart, as it seemed like nothing good would come out of Nam Ki-cheol’s bitter expression.
“Learning their abilities wasn’t just a favor. “At that time, I was afraid of my change.”
“change?”
“Those unknown voices ringing in my ears. “Now that I see it, it was proof that I was chosen as the monster for the door.”
“You mean… it happened before the carnival started?”
Nam Ki-cheol nodded.
“No one believed it. It has to be that way. In fact, even I didn’t understand what had happened to me. “At first I thought I had gone crazy.”
Grrrr….
His shoulders were shaking.
Namgung was embarrassed as it was his first time seeing his father like this.
Because he was a resolute person even when the carnival opened and the world went crazy.
“A voice weighing down my head. It was not something that could be resisted. “It was constantly bothering me, and it wasn’t something I could solve on my own.”
He stroked his face with both hands.
“Instead, I just drove those with special abilities who tried to help me to their deaths.”
“So what did you do?”
“…I decided to accept it. “I became the demon of the door, and I knew this would happen before the carnival started.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me sooner!”
“what? An event is happening that will destroy the world? Who would believe that? “You know that, so you went to see Choi Myung-hoon first rather than informing the government.”
Wow –
Namgung couldn’t refute his words.
“My father and I are different. “He was leading 711 even before I came in.”
“It is the result. The best agent meant the one who killed the most people. That’s why I was chosen as the gate monster.”
“…gibberish! Murder? How can punishing a wicked person be murder!”
“If the evildoer decides on the number of lives taken, then I am no slouch.”
“The life that was taken? If you think about it that way, aren’t the real murderers the higher-ups in the government? If they lift a finger, tens or hundreds of people will die.”
“Your superiors may think differently. It’s not whether you gave an order, but how much you dirty your own hands… Ramen? Even though I accomplished the mission, it is true that my will ultimately went into it.”
“That’s far-fetched.”
“Just as the world is not fair, we can’t help it if God’s thoughts are different from ours.”
“So are you still planning to die?”
“of course. Thirtieth? It’s a terrible thing to even think about. How many people will die by then? It will end when I die. “At best, we cannot give despair to those who survived.”
Nam Ki-cheol looked at his son.
“Isn’t it because of my death that you too were able to return? You owe me twice. Clue.”
“It’s different now than it was then.”
Tangerang-
Namgung put down the bottle of alcohol he was holding.
“The demon’s quest that had to be completed in order to return to one’s previous life had the condition that one had to be the only survivor. So my father’s death helped me, but this death will not help me at all.”
“How come it doesn’t help? “If I die, I can block one door without any sacrifice.”
“I’ll finish it before then.”
“…what?”
Namgung said.
“I have no intention of continuing this damn festival for so long that it will be thirty times. “I will finish the carnival before my father’s door opens.”
Gulp –
At his words, Nam Ki-cheol swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
“So there is no need to die. “Because you won’t have a chance to become a monster.”
“Are you confident?”
“You don’t know something unless you try it. Would it be easy to deal with God? But you wouldn’t know it if you, a monster, helped me. Instead of just waiting for me to turn into a monster, why don’t you fight me as a human? “Because it suits you better.”
“Kill God…?”
It was something I had never thought about before.
Nam Ki-cheol was constantly in pain at the fate that had been handed down to him.
Because I thought the only way to defy fate was death.
He believed that using at least his life as he pleased was a way of getting revenge on the god who created this world.
Until I heard Namgung’s words.
“Ha ha ha… Are you really planning on doing this?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do. That’s why I came back. I don’t owe the debt twice. “I am paying off the debt I owed in my previous life this time.”
Namgung turned his head.
It was because I didn’t want to see my father’s always confident shoulders shaking.
“Shouldn’t you be alive to see Somin?”
* * *
“be careful! “The bitter cold is coming!!!”
“To the front line!! Those wearing the attribute robe will raise their shame to the maximum and follow me!!”
Ssssssssssssssss—!!!
With Choi Myung-hoon’s shout, a snowstorm so intense that it was impossible to open one’s eyes swept across the area.
“Damn… It’s so chilly it feels like my bones will break. “Even if I push it down with the Druid’s magic, it’s still like this.”
“Still, we have to break through. “Hojun, get ready.”
“All right.”
Kang Ho-jun followed Myung-hoon’s orders and gestured toward the troops behind him.
They were elites specially selected by the two people within the Nest, wearing protective equipment with an elemental protection effect made by Mandeoksu.
“Mr. Hyoju, please send the Chamak unit to the left. See it over there? Hyoju, please destroy Gainas’s orb while we get attention.”
“All right.”
Park Hyo-joo used goggles to increase her spirit power.
Even in the fierce snowstorm as the wind blew around her, her surroundings were peaceful.
“Top 1 and 2 go with me. The rest help Roxanne eliminate the golems summoned by the Snow Queen.”
“All right.”
“yes!!”
The members of the Chamak unit dispersed in perfect accordance with her orders.
“Has the voice actor returned yet?”
“yes. “It seems that conquering the dungeon is not as easy as I thought.”
“That’s too bad. The queen continues to freeze the entire area. As a result, debuffs that reduce physical abilities are continuously stacking, so it would be much easier if there was Monarchization.”
“It’s unfortunate, but it can’t be helped. “Rather than relying on each other, we will have to resolve it among ourselves.”
Park Hyo-joo nodded at Myung-hoon’s words.
“Namgoong said that, but I thought about something pointless for a moment.”
Scream—
She unfolded the dagger package and made the daggers float with telekinesis.
“going.”
Paaah-!!
As Park Hyo-joo started running through the snowstorm, members of the Chamak unit followed behind her.
“What do you think?”
“This is Unit 711’s tactic.”
“yes. “I guess Myung-Hoon and Ho-Jun are in charge.”
Fortunately, the boss of the 8th door, the Snowflake Queen, was summoned to Antarctica and suffered less damage than other bosses.
However, due to the characteristics of Antarctica’s climate, the queen’s power was further doubled.
The difficulty of hunting had actually increased rapidly.
“The elites divert the target’s eyes, and the weaker rear ranks attack to catch the target off guard, then hide the real blade inside. “It doesn’t seem much different from when I was there, right?”
Namgung smiled bitterly at Nam Ki-cheol’s words.
“Because it was the best at that time. “Even without any modifications, there was no problem in carrying out the operation.”
“But you would know. That strategy requires that the blades hidden in the back row be secure. “You probably held the blade when you were at 711.”
“you’re right.”
“That girl, Park Hyo-joo, seems quite capable, but… it’s not enough to finish off the queen. “If the blade fails, you know what the consequences will be, right?”
“The blade will break.”
“It’s good to let her gain practical experience, but if she does something wrong, Park Hyo-joo could die. “Are you just going to watch it like this?”
The two men standing on the hill behind the Antarctic base watched the association members fight and examined their problems.
“Then how about helping me out? Instead, I’ll keep it a secret that the 711 legend cried in the past.”
“There is nothing to be gained by making fun of the old man. And don’t worry. “It looks like the kid you were waiting for has just conquered the dungeon.”
“Is there such a thing as a Black Root ability?”
“Of course, that is the power that opens and closes the dungeon door. “You can even feel the changes in the dungeon.”
Nam Ki-cheol spoke in a low voice as he looked at Park Hyo-joo, who was looking after the queen.
“They are already fully trained agents. Changing the old tactics I created a little won’t make much of a difference. “If a kid who can write military myths comes, the queen will be easily captured.”
“It’s a shame. “The 711 guys would have been happy if my father joined.”
“How can an old man like me be of any help? “There is a way to increase power more reliably.”
Nam Ki-cheol pointed to Park Hyo-joo.
“I am sure. In the remaining battles, it will be she, not the Revelator or the Contractor, who will decide whether to win or lose.”
Kagagagagang—!!!
Park Hyo-joo’s daggers swirled in the snowflakes.
