The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 33

Episode 33

– The monster attack that was thought to be over continued. Yesterday afternoon, monsters poured into the Han River through a portal created in the sky.

A reporter’s voice was heard on TV.

-The city suffered damage again before it was resolved, leaving the people in a state of confusion. Among them, the National Assembly building in Yeouido suffered damage, right?

When the studio announcer turned his head, the screen changed to show the burned down National Assembly building.

-Yes, that’s right. A disaster response meeting regarding this incident was held at the National Assembly building yesterday. However, they were unable to avoid disaster due to the sudden attack of the second monster.

-There was a report that the president was present at the National Assembly building along with several members of the National Assembly…

-That’s right. This meeting was no ordinary disaster, but a monster attack. Unusually, the President also attended the emergency meeting.

-Then… who is the victim of this National Assembly building?

The reporter answered quietly in a gloomy announcer’s voice.

– Among the list of attendees at this special disaster response meeting, the dead included the President, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Strategy and Finance, the Minister of Education, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs…

Pit –

The reporter who was reciting the list of deaths disappeared. The monitor turned black and Myung-Hoon, who was holding the remote control, let out a low sigh.

“The president passed away. “What kind of lightning is this?”

“Leave it on.”

“Why do you keep seeing it as a good story?”

Myung-Hoon sighed at Namgung’s words.

“After a little while, I won’t be able to watch the broadcast even if I want to. Because communication lines in each region will be cut off. “The scope of electricity supply will be limited, not only for TVs but also for cell phones and PCs.”

“Oh, we’re here to prevent that from happening, right?”

“That’s right, Captain. “It was honestly unexpected that the Capitol was attacked… but wasn’t the monsters stopped much more reliably than the first time?”

Ho-jun added to Myung-hoon’s words. But despite their words, Namgung shook his head.

“This is too pessimistic. “That’s not befitting a leader.”

“You may be confused by the sudden accident, but fortunately the Prime Minister is here. Don’t you know too, brother? “If he continues as acting authority, things will be resolved quickly.”

Myung-Hoon answered with a slightly upset expression towards Nam-Gung, who shook his head.

In fact, Namgung could understand to some extent why Myung-Hoon made that expression.

Prime Minister Seo Jae-wook.

He, who assisted the president, was a man of considerable reputation and ability.

‘It is true that he is one of the few people who can be trusted in a collapsed government.’

That belief did not mean truth or lies, but purely spoke of ability.

‘Seo Jae-wook forms a team dedicated to monsters in preparation for future disasters.’

His decision wasn’t bad.

The question was when were the policies he proposed implemented?

‘In my previous life, the monster task force was formed about two years after martial law was declared without being able to stop the first gate of hell.’

The president’s death occurred long before that.

In other words, the plan to create a special monster team should have been made much sooner.

‘But the reason the unit was created two years later was not due to a lack of manpower.’

It was because of Seo Jae-wook’s death.

With his sudden death, the country that lost its leader falls into chaos again.

‘By that time, it was no longer a situation that could be prevented by the military. In the end, the policy prepared by Seo Jae-wook was implemented late, but the damage was significant.’

This served as an opportunity to announce the creation of the Chamak unit and the emergence of a new star named Park Hyo-ju, who was called Margrave Baek.

‘Of course, now is different from my previous life. Unlike back then when we couldn’t even close the first door, now we have even closed the second door. ‘Compared to that time, the damage is definitely minimal.’

But the problem wasn’t the damage caused by the monster.

“Like you said, we will be able to minimize damage by continuing to block monsters like this. But why do you think the power supply interruption is due to monsters?”

“What is it… Is there a bigger problem right now besides monsters?”

“Yes.”

Tick-

Namgoong turned on the TV again.

After the list of dead from the Capitol disaster, the names of survivors began to be listed.

He eyed one name on the list.

Minister of National Defense Park Dae-ho.

* * *

“older brother.”

“I know what you’re talking about.”

At night, when everyone was asleep, Namgoong stubbed out the cigarette he was holding and looked at Myunghun.

The sight of him coming out of the goblin fortress and sitting on top of his collapsed house gave off a strangely foreign feeling.

“Do you want to smoke?”

“it’s okay. But… are you really saying that Minister Park Dae-ho is carrying out a coup?”

“no. “If we look at the facts, he is simply taking over the acting authority after Prime Minister Seo Jae-wook’s death.”

“The question is, is the Prime Minister’s death suspicious?”

Namgung nodded slowly.

“that’s right.”

Seo Jae-wook responded well to the sudden unexpected phenomenon, to the point where it was considered quite excellent compared to other countries.

However, after his sudden death, Park Dae-ho, the Minister of National Defense, succeeded him.

‘Once he reached the peak of power, he declared martial law as if he had been waiting.’

Given the circumstances, his declaration was not strange.

‘The problem is that military forces from all over the world were gathered in Seoul. That’s how they fortified Seoul.’

As a result of Park Dae-ho’s decision, other cities across the country whose military forces were empty fell into great danger.

‘We belatedly established a new unit and began defense, but Park Hyo-joo’s unit was also destroyed by Choi Hwi-soo, who led the command corps…’

After that, the Republic of Korea was truly in chaos.

‘Now that Choi Hwi-soo is dead, we can look forward to Park Hyo-joo’s performance as a true evil unit even more than then…’ As expected,

the problem was that in the end, all of this was only possible if Seo Jae-wook was alive.

“The reason you changed the meeting place with Alek to Yeouido was because you had in mind the incident at the National Assembly building.”

“that’s right. Alec and Erica to hunt the serpent in the shortest possible time. “I borrowed the power of two people.”

“Hmm, wouldn’t it have been better to go directly to the National Assembly building and protect it?”

Namgung shook his head at Myung-hoon’s words.

“The place where the Serpent was summoned and the National Assembly building were too far away. “If I had made a mistake and failed to catch the serpent, the damage would have been greater.”

“Well…”

The most important thing was to hunt the world boss and close the gates of hell.

If it is open, monsters will continue to be created not just in Yeouido, but throughout the country and even the world.

“I thought there was a better chance of protecting the Capitol by quickly hunting down the Serpent rather than staying there and fighting.”

“What do you plan to do now? “Even if I informed them of Prime Minister Seo Jae-wook’s death, they would not easily believe it.”

“I guess so. Even if I were to visit, it would be difficult to meet, let alone talk.”

Buuuuung-

At that moment, there was a car passing in front of Namgung’s house. As the black sedan slowly slowed down, he slightly glanced and stood up.

“So on the contrary, I have to make them come looking for me.”

“…yes?”

The door of the black sedan opened and a man in a black suit got out.

“Who who?”

Myung-Hoon hurriedly blocked Namgung’s path. However, the man lightly raised both hands in a gesture that he did not want to cause friction.

“Are you Captain Nam?”

Instead, he bowed lightly in front of the two people.

“I was ordered to serve. “Could you please accompany us for a moment?”

“I think it’s important to reveal your affiliation first.”

“okay. Since the proposal is urgent… My name is Lee Jin-won, a member of the National Intelligence Service’s counter-terrorism department. “I was told to take Captain Nam to BH.”

“If it’s BH….”

Myung-Hoon swallowed dry saliva without realizing it and looked at Namgung.

Blue House.

“This is the Blue House.”

Namgung nodded as if waiting for his answer.

* * *

“Nice to meet you. You say it was Captain Nam who hunted the giant monster that appeared in the Han River? The report has been received. Thank you so much.”

“The title of captain is fine. “It’s been a long time since I left the military.”

Snap-

Namgung put his sword down on the table.

“I am truly grateful. “You called me to the Blue House reception room rather than the NIS interrogation room.”

Then, he lightly held Seo Jae-wook’s hand as he offered to shake his hand.

“Haha, how can you treat a hero who saved the city like that? “That’s nonsense.”

“A hero… me? “If you trust people so easily, you will most likely lose your life.”

“…!!”

At that moment, he pulled the prime minister’s arm.

While twisting Seo Jae-wook’s arm as he lost his balance and fell, Namgung pulled the pen from the desk and pointed it at his neck.

“stop!!”

As the reception room door opened, agents pointed their guns and shouted.

“You will need to pay more attention to security. Prime Minister Seo Jae-wook. It’s not just the threat of monsters. Be careful of people. “You are now the one who makes the most important decisions in Korea.”

Namgung spoke in a low voice.

“…Keep that in mind.”

“Forgive my rudeness.”

After unwrapping Seo Jae-wook’s arm, Namgung put down the pen.

“Get him!!!”

As soon as the distance between the two was shortened, the agents who were aiming their guns at each other rushed in with a sharp cry.

Boom–!!

A sharp blade protruded from among the agents pointing their guns and attacked Namgoong.

Parr…!!

At that moment, Namgung bent his waist backwards and dodged the blade. When he opened his palm, the dagger rushing towards him spun around in his palm and narrowly grazed Namgung’s chin.

Sgak…!

The blade left a small wound along with a stinging pain. Namgung grabbed the sword he had left on the table and struck the blade that attacked him with all his might.

With Chang…!!

The moment the dagger fell on the floor, it bounced back and returned to its owner’s hand as if returning to its original position.

‘The weapon is not unusual. ‘It’s just an ordinary dagger that isn’t sold in Yaksha bundles.’

What was unusual was the user of the dagger.

“Take it easy. Captain Nam, no, Team Leader Nam just gave me a direct statement. Rather, it is something you must learn.”

The agents’ faces hardened at Seo Jae-wook’s words.

‘…Team Leader?’

Rather than the noisy atmosphere, Namgung paid more attention to the title the Prime Minister called him.

“I think I heard wrong.”

“No way. That’s why I called you here. “We need strength.”

The Prime Minister spoke to Namgung.

“The government lost many officials, including the president. But you can’t just be sad. “We have left open the possibility that the monsters’ attacks will continue due to this attack.”

“Hmm…”

“Actually, the reason people gathered at the National Assembly today was to discuss this.”

He cleared his throat for a moment as if to clear his voice and then spoke with force.

“I plan to create a team to hunt monsters. And I want you to lead that team.”

Namgung chuckled at the Prime Minister’s words.

He then looked at the agent who attacked him a little while ago and used a rare fighting technique.

The woman with her hair tied back and thick eyebrows was none other than Park Hyo-joo, the leader of the True Evil Unit who led the monster task force in her previous life.

“I checked the remaining CCTV in Yeouido and found out that you hunted the Serpent.”

She took a step forward.

“To be honest, we admit that we are not yet equipped to deal with this situation. “I have information in my head, but I’m still not sure how to use it.”

‘That’s honest.’

Namgung nodded at her words.

“But you and your colleagues are different. “I fought efficiently as if I already knew everything, from how to hunt monsters to what weapons and tools to use.”

“It was nothing.”

“Can you teach us?”

For a moment her voice trembled. Namgung looked at her and spoke in a calm voice.

“refuse.”

“…yes?”

“I refuse. “I have no intention of teaching you, much less taking charge of the team.”

“Now that Korea has lost its leader, the Republic of Korea is in crisis. Aren’t you also someone who sacrificed your life for your country at least once? “No, before that, you were a citizen of this country.”

Park Hyo-joo shouted in response.

“okay. You can fight to protect your country. “For that, I made a promise with them and borrowed their power.”

Namgung looked at the sword he was holding for a moment. I trembled as if I was answering the questions of the souls on the blade of the sword.

“But what I have to protect is this land, not you. “I have no intention of becoming a government dog.”

“…That’s rude!!”

“Then what are you fighting for? Is it a country? “Is it the government? Or…”

The moment Park Hyo-joo frowned and shouted at Namgung, he instead raised his sword and aimed it at her.

“Are you a person in power?”

“What is that…”

Namgung said in a cold voice.

“What I want to ask is more about me.”

At that moment, her eyes trembled.

“Minister of National Defense Park Dae-ho.”

Namgoong knew better than anyone else why she couldn’t hide her expression.

“To your father.”
