The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 247

Episode 247

“You probably know that in the past, the Yoran clan and Wu tried to end the carnival.”

[Actually, I was trying to revive the people who were victims of the carnival.]

“That’s it. “We also agreed that Wu tried to destroy all remaining aspects.”

Thorn pouted his lips at Leoric’s answer.

[Because many people were sacrificed. However, as long as the carnival exists, more people will continue to be sacrificed.]

“That is why we risked the lives of our clan and fought alongside Wu. Leoric, your power was great, and Wu was the most special among the Aspects.”

Sigh –

Thorn clenched his fists.

“We thought our ideals would succeed. “If only that damned devil hadn’t been so greedy!”

[Hmm….]

Carlos cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed by Thorne’s finger pointing at him.

“He used his dirty tongue to trick us dwarves into starting a war with the elves. And he swiped the elf’s Noble Phantasm from behind.”

[It was something that could not be helped. Because devils are beings that pursue magical power. There is nothing more appetizing than an elf’s Noble Phantasm.]

Carlos sighed, crossing his eyebrows as if regretful.

Looking at him like that, Thorn gritted his teeth.

“The elves who lost their Noble Phantasm weakened rapidly, and when we realized belatedly that they had been deceived, we stopped the war, but…”

[The already weakened elves fell helplessly to the Aspect’s attack.]

“And the war with the elves. We also suffered damage, so we could no longer fight the Aspects. Still, how can you leave him alone!”

Thorn shouted, ready to hit Carlos with a hammer at any moment.

“It’s all because of that guy. Because you want magical power? That’s ridiculous. The devils created a rift between us not long after the war of death began. Everyone knows what that means, right? “It means he had no intention of joining us from the beginning!”

Namgung looked at Carlos.

[Well… it’s for the survival of the clan. You can’t risk your life in a battle where you see defeat.]

“Then you shouldn’t have joined in the first place! “A guy who doesn’t even have the will to risk his life…!!”

[I thought I would win too. At first.]

“Then? In hindsight, were you scared that you couldn’t win? You’re making excuses like that! After all, it would be better for you to die here!”

“What do you all think?”

Thorne, who was about to rush in, stopped at Namgung’s words.

[To be honest, I don’t know why they have that guy. If it’s for the sake of coming here, it doesn’t matter anymore, right?]

[I also agree with what he said. I liberated the people who had been brainwashed by the demons, and there was no help of any kind in the battle so far, so is there a need to leave them behind?]

Latea, who had been quietly observing the situation, spoke up.

She, who had been hostile towards Carlos in the past, seemed determined not to miss this opportunity.

[He said he felt different when he went to the bathroom and when he came out, but when he entered the upper floor of the tower, everyone was trying to bite me.]

Carlos sighed at them.

[Hey Thorn. It wasn’t that the fight seemed unwinnable, it was a fight that couldn’t be won. Why did Woo try to destroy his status? You all understand now, right?]

Carlos spoke to them.

[Did he really intend to end the carnival in good faith and destroy its status? Nope. He was using us as bait. To threaten their status and make them summon Ran.]

“Wu and Ran are different, but they are one. “Ran (亂) was summoned to become one.”

[you’re right. From the beginning, he had no interest in winning or losing the war. Now that one plan has failed, he must have waited endlessly. A person who rebels against Sang Sang.]

Knowing that it was him, Namgung was able to understand why Woo had given him the chain out of favor from the beginning.

[Namgoong has also become a member of the deputy clan, so you will instinctively know this. What happens when the two are combined into one?]

“…Return to the beginning.”

[Yes, that’s right. As the two split, numerous dimensions and races were created through the rift. But now the two become one again? That means everything starts anew.]

[I already know his trick. Do you think we will be taken lightly?]

[Isn’t this a situation where we have no choice but to suffer even though we know it? Right now, Namgoong is trying to combine Woo and Ran into one.]

Carlos said to Namgoong with a wry smile.

[He is gambling with the lives of mankind in order to save his daughter!]

Wow!!!

He snatched the hammer Thorne was holding.

[Hey Dwarf. think carefully. Now the one you need to beat to death is not me, but that human!]

“What…”

[You are being deceived by them. Do you think the tower will be safe once its original status is intact? It’s the end for you and me!]

Thorn seemed embarrassed by his harsh words and didn’t know what to do.

[Anyway, they are a very easy people to deceive. What are dwarves? Even back then, I faked it like this.]

Carlos smiled at Namgung and tilted the handle of the hammer he was holding towards Thorn.

[You look embarrassed… You’re not really worried, right? Are you thinking of striking down the only person who can stand up to Sang Sang?]

“What?!”

Thorn blushed and shouted.

“That’s why I kept him alive. “Betrayal is also an ability.”

When Namgung nodded his head and spoke, Thorn looked dumbfounded.

[It’s hard to say this from the perspective of someone who betrayed me, but I also suffered from them. You know the years we spent locked in the tower together. I also want to take revenge on those guys.]

“…How can I trust you?”

[You don’t have to believe it. Actually, that’s better. Just as you don’t trust me, you will doubt me too. If all I know how to do is use my tongue three inches like you said… I can fool even my phase.]

Carlos twitched his lips and his sharp fangs flashed.

[Just use me. That’s enough.]

For a moment, silence fell in the hall.

“Ooh, don’t be funny!! Do you think I’m going to be fooled again!!!”

Namgung snorted at his answer.

Boom –

Then he said as he put the 【All Evil Sword】 on the ground.

“good night. Take revenge yourself. I have no grudge against the demon race. “Because my grudge lies with Sang Sang.”

“…So you’re saying it doesn’t matter if I hit that guy’s head with this sword?”

“as you please.”

Sigh –

Thorn grabbed the handle of the sword as if he had been waiting.

Boom!!!

“Oh, you think I can’t do it if I say that? “I’ve been waiting for this moment for hundreds of years!”

As he swung a huge sword several times larger than himself with one hand, the sword flew over Carlos’ head like the blade of a guillotine.

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Thorn swung his sword down without a moment of hesitation.

“…What are you doing?”

But the sword stopped above Carlos’ head.

Thorn asked, glaring resentfully at someone who blocked him.

[That’s enough. The past is the past.]

Surprisingly, it was Akasha who stopped Thorn.

“I don’t understand. We lost because of him! And you even became a reaper. “And you still want to forgive him?”

[Because it’s not a matter of forgiving or not.]

At Akasha’s gloomy voice, Thorn shook his shoulders without even realizing it.

[He is clever, but we need his wisdom. Because he knows his status better than anyone else.]

“Wisdom? Tricks are not wisdom. “Don’t repeat that stupid mistake.”

[I might be making another stupid mistake. But, nevertheless, I want to do it.]

Grumpy….

The sword slowly went down.

[Revenge.]

At his words, Thorn finally put down the sword he was holding.

[Don’t you think so too?]

“Damn it… I can’t believe I’m joining hands with demons again… Damn it! damn!!!”

Thorn repeatedly stamped his feet on the floor as if he was feeling resentful, but he seemed to have decided to accept Carlos in the end.

“I will keep a close eye on you this time. Carlos, if you mess around, this hammer won’t leave you alone!”

[I don’t know if he can hit my head with his short arm, but… keep that in mind.]

“He’s going to get hit by lightning!!”

When Thorn turned around with his lips pouting, Carlos smiled bitterly and expressed his gratitude to Namgung.

[It was a homework that had been pending for a long time… but thanks to you, I was able to solve it.]

“Because I also needed the power of a dwarf. And your tongue.”

[I’ll do my best to giggle.]

“While I’m here conserving the power of the crown, you should go back to the demon tribe.”

[It’s a good thing to hear. All right. I will be able to see my family after a long time.]

“Go and bring it.”

[That’s it?]

“An elf’s treasure. Give it back to Akasha.”

Carlos looked at Akasha with a surprised expression on Namgung’s words.

[Have you noticed?]

“There’s nothing to do other than whip. It is true that demons are beings that desire magical power, but they are different from elves. “You are the ones who create runes and eat the magic power of runes.”

Carlos scratched his head in embarrassment at his words.

“I know it’s ugly, but there’s no need to let go of a grudge that can be resolved.”

[…I’ll bring it.]

Grrrr!!

Carlos answered with mixed emotions.

As his figure disappeared along with the smoke, Akasha, who was quietly watching the scene, spoke.

[I did something pointless. Even if he brought it, it’s not like he can use the Noble Phantasm now that he’s a Shinigami.]

“Well, if you really want to, I’ll give it to my daughter. “It’s a fairy contract, so it’s a good match.”

[…Are you aiming for it?]

“I’m doing my best.”

[You are a bit more sly than you look.]

“Is it because you want to be scolded by your daughter a little less?”

Namgung smiled and looked at Thorn.

“Open the furnace door.”

“Be careful. Because the heat inside is not something humans can withstand. “You will have to risk your life.”

“It’s just the right temperature.”

“Anyway…”

As Thorn went down to the basement to open the dwarven furnace, Namgung took off the coat and shirt he was wearing and put them away.

[You know what? If you’re afraid of getting scolded, you shouldn’t do something that will get you scolded in the first place. So don’t even think about getting scolded, just come to your senses and come back.]

Mu-myeong looked at him and said in a bitter voice.

[Don’t lose yourself.]

“Of course. “I am the same now as I was in the beginning.”

Kugggggg….

Namgung opened the door.

“I will come back to see my daughter.”
