The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant - Chapter 67

Episode 67

–

Namgung opened the box he received in the first auction on one side of the island.

Numbering 998450.

Name: All-purpose decoction of the Yasha clan.

Grade: Magic (highest)

▶ A potion with various miscellaneous effects added in addition to the basic recovery effect.

▶ Only the proxy clan can make it, and the effect seems to be slightly different for each clan.

▶ Restores not only physical strength but also magical power.

▶ Additionally, it keeps the body clean.

▶ It prevents nightmares while sleeping after taking it only once.

“What a miscellaneous feature.”

Namgung looked at the black liquid that looked like muddy water in a small glass bottle the length of a finger and muttered in a low voice.

“Ugh… it doesn’t look like I want to eat it.”

“that’s right. Still, it’s better to eat it. “I need to restore my magic power.”

“Yep.”

Somin opened the lid of the bottle, took a quick sniff, and frowned.

Gulp –

She held her nose with her hand and gulped it down in one gulp.

“Puha!! Ugh… I think I can still smell it.”

“that’s right. It would have been okay for fairies or naga. “Yakshas are terrible at making medicine.”

Namgung smiled at his daughter and put the decoction into the bag.

“Dad, don’t you drink?”

“huh. are you okay. “Dad, it’s not like you need to recover your magic power… you just need to rest a little.”

“no. Dad drinks too. “Then you can sleep well.”

In fact, the main effect of the potion was not to restore health or magic power. This was because of the last additional effect, the effect of preventing nightmares.

Those who finished the auction had to wait like this until candidates from other countries emerged.

The corpse of a monster disappears when killed, but the corpse of a human does not.

Horrible corpses visible no matter where you turn.

Nothing was sound.

There was no way I could sleep well in a place where there were countless corpses with their internal organs spilling out, limbs, and heads blown off.

‘Someday, there will come a time when I need it again.’

It may only happen once, but being able to sleep peacefully was the most precious thing in this hell.

“Close your eyes a little.”

Namgoong hugged his daughter and covered her with his coat.

Is it because of his warmth or the effect of the decoction? As soon as Somin was held in her arms, she quickly fell asleep.

‘It must have been exhausting.’

Namgung lightly stroked his sleeping daughter’s cheek with his hand and let out a low sigh.

“Well done. “Somin.”

Regardless of her own help, it would not have been easy for her to deal with monsters as she had only just learned how to use magical powers.

However, through this incident, Namgoong felt that his daughter had entered this world one step further.

It’s something I didn’t want, but…

it had to be done.

“Get some rest. “The rest…”

Namgung slowly raised his head.

“This dad will take care of it.”

There was a rule.

* * *

[Be careful. Actually, this is the first time a human has passed through this place… I don’t know if it will be okay.]

Gyu-ryu, who came back with a lot of leaves on his head as if he had been to the fairy world, spoke in front of the summoning gate.

Squeak –

When I opened the wooden door on both sides with all my might, I saw a huge lakeside just beyond the door.

“It’s okay for humans to pass.”

Unlike him who was worried, Gyu-ryu walked inside with great strides, holding his sleeping daughter in his arms.

[aha. I see It’s okay… I didn’t know. Haha.]

Gyu-ryu scratched his head sheepishly, nodded, and followed him.

Sssssssssssssssss—!!!

A refreshing breeze hit him as he passed through the door.

Even he, who had no magic power, knew that the wind blowing from the lake was not normal.

“It’s okay. To come out like this after just breathing in the rotten air of the city. “Unlike someone who chose a musty place like an underground shopping mall.”

[What’s it like there? It’s just good.]

Gyu-ryu chuckled at Namgung’s words.

“Hmm.”

As Namgung was looking at the lake, a small dog statue came into view. And next to it, a small brick church was built.

Boundary Dog Statue and Church of the Good Shepherd.

Looking at them, Namgung knew where this place was.

“Lake Tekapo… It’s not the fairy world. “It looks like the Fairy Queen didn’t move it herself, right?”

Namgung said while looking at the huge lake spread out in front of him.

As he said, the place he traveled to through the summoning door was not the fairy world, but Lake Tekapo, located on the South Island of New Zealand.

[sure. No matter how much I want Somin, there is no sign of her stepping forward.]

“Then who is here?”

[This is Nelya, one of the three great nobles of the fairy tribe. Be very careful. She is the only one among the fairies who is good at fighting.]

-Don’t talk nonsense. I have no intention of shedding unnecessary blood. If we respect each other.

It was then.

It wasn’t a voice, nor was it a sound echoing in my head.

-We are not barbaric like you Yaksas.

The voice of a fairy could be heard every time the small wings flapped rapidly, as if the sounds of musical scales heard from musical instruments were transformed and sounded like language.

[aha. I see But where are you talking about?]

-…It’s right in front of you. You idiot.

[Oh my!! She was here?]

Even with Nelya in front of him, Gyu-ryu continued to look around for a while before lowering his head in surprise and answering.

“You can talk about useless things later among yourselves. Did you say Nelya? “I said I definitely wanted to make a deal with the Fairy Queen.”

-You are Namgung. A returner who has a mental illness but no physical evidence.

“It’s not that important. “If you want to believe it, I’m a regressor. If you don’t want to believe it, I’m not.”

-Everyone is looking at you with interest. Even the Aspects.

“Know.”

-ruler. Come in. Let’s talk about deep things here.

Nelya flapped her wings and entered the small church next to the lake.

When

he entered the church, Namgung took out the spirit tree he had and placed it in front of him.

“It is a spirit tree that has lived for over a thousand years. “It’s not a world tree, but if you plant it in the fairy world, it will be of some help.”

-Oh… this is it.

Nelya opened her eyes wide and looked at the spirit tree that Namgung had brought.

“You can obtain good items by processing spirit wood… but if you plant it in the ground, it will take root and settle down in an instant. “It will be large enough for fairies to live in in about a month.”

-That’s fascinating. Have you ever been to the fairy world?

“It’s just something I heard.”

-Well, even if you’ve been there, you wouldn’t tell the truth, right? In that case, it would be like admitting to yourself that you are a regressor.

“well. On the other hand, if I told you that I had a regression, would you really believe me?”

‘Why are there people like that? So what are you saying? Did you really go back or not? I can’t figure it out…’

Gyu-ryu looked at Nelya as if she was rather embarrassed by his outspoken attitude.

[There is no use in racking your brain. Let’s just get to the point without thinking about criticizing others when it’s pointless to talk about.]

-I’m just being cautious. So as not to fall for the tongue of a con man like you.

[fraud? If the owner of the seven snakes hears that, he will burn you all.]

-…This is the queen’s message.

Nelya slightly rolled her eyes at Gyu-ryu’s sarcasm and spoke to Namgung.

-The World Tree Staff is the Queen’s Noble Phantasm and the source of support for the fairy world. Your daughter Nam So-min’s qualifications are incredible, but not enough to risk the existence of the world. Transaction is not possible.

“You misunderstand. I am not asking for the World Tree staff completely. He also brought a spirit tree to replace the staff. It won’t be difficult to maintain the precepts for about a year. “I’ll give you back the wand afterward.”

-Who guarantees that the wand will not be lost or damaged?

“I do it.”

Nelya laughed as if she was dumbfounded by Namgung’s answer.

-Are you telling me to report that to the queen now? This isn’t some kind of joke… trust humans?

“Of course, believe it or not. But I guess you’re not in a position to put up good terms for selling it like that now, are you?”

-…what?

“The Octagon War is a war fought by eight proxy clans, but in fact, only seven clans participate in the war. “There are races that were eliminated before it even started.”

-What are you trying to say?

Nelya’s face hardened at Namgung’s words.

“When the next door opens, you will be the first to be eliminated. “I’m not in a position to impose conditions or anything like that.”

flinch-

“Do you understand? “You have to grab us right now by the legs of our pants and beg us to sign a contract.”

-Crazy… Our fairy people are disappearing? Don’t talk nonsense. I guess you don’t want to sign a contract?

“Of course, you can believe this or not.”

-….

Nelya could no longer respond to his words.

“Jordy Langston.”

At that moment, Nellia’s face hardened.

Before Nam So-min, a candidate for the proxy auction that the fairies were eyeing.

It is surprising that the name that no one knows appears in Namgoong’s name, but

“It’s better to give up. “That person is going to commit suicide.”

The words that followed couldn’t be ignored.

Sssssssssssssssss—!!!

It was then.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew inside the church, and a brilliant whirlpool appeared, as if sprinkled with light powder.

‘You’re here.’

Namgung looked at the whirlpool.

-It’s hard to get over what you said a little while ago. Could you speak to me again?

-Woah Queen.

Nelya hurriedly took a step back and lowered her head.

-I heard a rumor that you might be a regressor. Looking at his actions so far, it’s suspicious enough.

Buzz… Woooo…

The sound of countless wings fluttering began to be heard everywhere.

This is because with the appearance of the Fairy Queen, the fairies guarding her gathered all at once.

-But no one knows if you are really a regressor. Don’t be angry. Because we just want to have a little more faith in your words.

“You want to know why he commits suicide?”

-That’s right. Although not as good as your daughter, she also has outstanding magical qualities.

“okay. He’s outstanding. “But the problem is that he is the same father as me.”

-No way….

“The heartache of a father who lost his daughter is meaningless no matter how good the conditions and strength are.”

-Jordi Langston commits suicide… That’s an interesting story. And it’s also not a very pleasant story for us.

The Fairy Queen’s face hardened at Namgung’s words.

“I said it a little while ago, believe it or not. However, if it were me, I would focus more on the fact that my daughter has legendary qualities rather than vague words. “I don’t think there’s any reason to choose someone worse than him.”

-There are enough reasons. Because he is in our realm, not in the yaksha’s realm.

In fact, that was the main reason why the fairies rejected Somin.

Asia was under the jurisdiction of the yakshas, and there were bound to be restrictions on the actions of the fairies.

-Legendary qualities are certainly great, but the results of growth can vary depending on how you develop them. And the fairies have that kind of ability. Isn’t that why you came to see us?

The queen spoke in an aggressive manner, as if trying to regain control of the conversation.

-What if we protect Jordi Langston’s daughter? So if she doesn’t die, he won’t commit suicide either.

“What did you say? “If I can.”

-human!! You are a complete idiot!!

-How dare you tell the queen…!!

At that moment, the remaining two fairy nobles behind them flapped their wings and shouted.

-W… Queen.

But that was then.

Nelya looked at her with a pale face.

-What happened?

-The first auction has just ended. But…

the queen, looking at his complexion, sensed something was wrong.

-Joe Jordi Langston is dead.

-…!!!!!!

Not only the queen but all the fairies were shocked by Nelya’s report.

-What does that mean? Just a little while ago, I was at the forefront of hunting monsters!

-Did you fail in the hunt?

-How could this happen….

Nelya bit her lip in response to the queen’s question.

-The hunt was successful. I achieved the highest contribution in the boss room and killed the boss.

-But why?

-It wasn’t that she was attacked by a monster…

At that moment, Nellia glanced at Namgung.

-It is called suicide.

-….

Everyone fell silent at his answer.

In their silence, only Namgung’s faint laughter could be heard.

-Nonsense. Jordi Langston’s daughter’s death… right now?

-She didn’t even participate in the auction? why?

“Everyone is complaining that the world has changed so much, but the truth is that the world we originally lived in wasn’t that great.”

-…what?

“New Zealand is probably one of the most affected countries in the world. Jordi Langston’s house probably had a grocery store, right? “Sometimes people are more scary than monsters.”

-That can’t be possible.

A large-scale riot that occurred in New Zealand.

And Jordi Langston’s daughter, who died in the fire, and his words when he heard the news.

“Death does not come by taking your time and taking things easy. “It could be 10 years from now, but it could be right behind you when you turn your head.”

Creepy –

The fairies had no answer to Namgung’s words.

‘The reason the Fairies were unable to participate in the Octagon War was not because their contractor, Jordi Langston, died. ‘It’s because I couldn’t sign a contract with Gigi Langston.’

The fairies, who lost their candidates, had no choice but to choose a contractor from among those who remained.

Those who remained were all inferior to Jordi Langston.

The extinction of the fairy race was a natural process.

Gulp –

The Queen looked at Namgung carefully.

“I guess you’ve changed your mind now? Well, I too was hoping for a contract with the fairies.”

-Well then, right now….

“Even just a little while ago. “But not now. I think we’ve accepted each other’s positions now.”

-…yes?

“Then the conditions must change.”

However, looking into her eyes, Namgung also said as if it was natural.

“Now, one cane isn’t enough.”
