The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 226

Episode 226:

True identity

The imperial palace was on fire.

As if a huge meteorite hit the middle of the city.

The center of Certion, the thousand-year-old city of the Magic Empire, was reduced to a black heap of ashes.

The only person standing on the ruins.

“….”

It was Lukashan, the crown prince of the empire.

The crown prince’s entire body was in a state of complete disrepair due to the bloody fight with the intruder who appeared out of nowhere.

For him, a wizard who had not yet reached his peak, the ‘Demon King of Conflict’ was a daunting opponent.

But the crown prince’s eyes were calm.

“majesty! “Hurry up and get treatment!”

“There is no need, so get out.”

Lukashan, who belatedly shook off the courtiers who came running, placed his hand on the deep gash on his side.

Then he began to extract magical power and quickly condense it.

‘The human body is truly cumbersome.’

But that’s about it.

Lukashan poured out deep blue magic and stitched up his wounds.

Soon, I felt the presence of another human and raised my head.

“Lowering! “His Majesty the Emperor has returned!”

“And this is Duke Shedrick Fenn, Commander of the Imperial Knights!”

The subjects standing nearby made a fuss.

‘It’s really noisy…’

But the crown prince waited in silence.

Because there was no need for him to get his hands dirty.

And then the emperor and the knight commander approached.

“I’m tired.”

“I see you, His Majesty the Crown Prince.”

The two men, like Lukashan, showed signs of battle.

“Currently, the enemy has been completely wiped out. “The demonic beings that he supposedly summoned have all been eliminated.”

It was a report from Shedrick Fenn, who bowed his head deeply.

Lukashan nodded.

“Right. “Thank you for your hard work.”

Actually, it was funny.

Just a few hours ago, this knight commander was advancing toward the North End Gateway City according to the Emperor’s orders.

But suddenly an emergency occurred.

-An unidentified doll has appeared in the sky above Kertion!

-Currently, a magical reaction of unknown origin has been detected in the southwestern sky of Kertion!

A message was delivered simultaneously to the guards at the outskirts and the observation wizard.

The command moved quickly.

-The Capital Defense Division prepares to intercept immediately! Gather all the Knights Templar!

-I will request support from the Chrysanthemum Spire immediately!

Everyone was trying to attack the unidentified intruder according to the established manual.

But both sides’ efforts were in vain.

-what? The Capital Defense Division and the Capital Knights have all been drafted…?

-The wizards of the Chrysanthemum Spire are in the dungeon? Oh my god, what does that mean?

Knights and soldiers were summoned to a punitive force led by the Imperial Knights.

The wizards of the spire were locked in a dungeon by the emperor’s orders.

Of course, there was no alternative.

-Then, dispatch all the troops even if they are on standby!

-Please summon wizards dispatched from other magic towers immediately!

He squeezed out all the forces inside Certion as if he would chew with his gums if he had no teeth.

It was truly a tedious effort.

And that effort would certainly have been effective if the uninvited guest who appeared in the sky above Kertion had been an ordinary being.

but.

-That’s strange. From what I remember, the wizards of your empire seemed to be quite strong… but somehow they are now weaklings?

Unfortunately, the pale-faced man who appeared in the sky above Certion was no ordinary being.

“Oh, what a great magi!”

“That’s not a person…!”

Everyone I encountered realized that I couldn’t do anything about it.

But it was too late.

-Then, I will begin my work as per the contract, you weak humans.

The devil’s attack has begun.

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

It was a bombing strictly targeting the imperial palace.

So it was a natural step for the emperor and crown prince to step forward.

It was also inevitable that Shedrick Fenn, who was heading to North End, turned his horse around and retreated to Certion.

After the counteroffensive began, a long fight continued for eight hours.

And the Demon King returned to the Demon World.

-The contracted time has ended. It was fun, you weak humans.

Although he spoke leisurely, Giga Starik was in a state where more than half of his body was charred black.

It was because of the joint venture between Emperor Bareshan and Prince Lukashan.

-Anyway, the human prince’s fighting style seems to be somewhat similar to mine. Why…?

The devil with a dark laugh.

Then the emperor’s expression distorted and he unleashed his magical powers again.

“You are talking nonsense. “I will completely destroy its existence.”

The emperor fought against the devil until the demon king’s summoning was canceled, and the leader of the Imperial Knights had no choice but to move to protect him.

And now it’s back.

The emperor, who was hurt more seriously than his son, gritted his teeth and looked around.

“Damn it. It looks like half of the imperial palace has collapsed. His name was Gigastarik. “I don’t know why they attacked Certion.”

Hearing his words, the knight commander bowed his head silently.

But the palace officials had a lot to say.

“The imperial palace will soon be able to be rebuilt! your majesty!”

“Don’t worry too much! “Isn’t it the most important thing that Your Majesty is alive?”

“I will immediately bring in the military ministers who failed to defend the capital and reprimand them…!”

But their words could not continue any further.

“Oh, it’s noisy.”

Emperor Bareshan waved his hand with a look on his face that everything in the world was truly annoying.

Shoooooooo!

He had begun to summon his magic again.

“…your majesty?”

Why when all the enemies are gone?

But unfortunately, those questions did not go any further.

“Everyone die.”

Let’s go!

With the emperor’s brief gesture, a bloody wind blew.

“…!”

The heads fell helplessly in front of the knight commander.

Tap, tap, tap….

The bodies of the courtiers who lost their heads like that had to be left lying around as if they were trash on the street.

However, Prince Lukashan smiled.

“Well done, Your Majesty. “Otherwise, I just wanted to get rid of them all.”

A cruel smile appeared on Vareshan’s lips at his son’s words.

“There is no need to worry. Don’t hesitate to kill those you want to kill. “They’re trash anyway.”

And the emperor gestured to the knight commander.

“These people are treated as if they were caught in a battle with the Demon King and died. Then there won’t be any gossip.”

“I understand… I understand, Your Majesty.”

“If there are any more troublesome things, the Lord will deal with them himself.”

“…yes.”

Shedrick Fenn disappears with his head lowered with a stern expression.

The crown prince thought about that.

‘That’s annoying.’

So, that too will have to be removed from this world soon.

‘Now that I think about it, I heard that Roxanne Sciorra, who disappeared, is coming back.’

I guess I’ll have to eat that bitch first.

It will probably be a great help in filling this body with strength.

‘And the emperor and the entire empire…’

The imperial prince smiled, casually remembering the terrible thought.

* * *

I thought it was a little strange.

I was lying face down in the basement of the cave palace, deciphering the ancient writings left behind by Gzermiu.

However…

[Synchronization between ‘player’ and ‘character’ is currently in progress.]

[To date, 37.5% complete.]

Strangely, synchronization with Gilroshan was occurring little by little.

The metallurgy percentage that was rising is close to 40%.

‘Why is this going up?’

I wanted to ask Gilroshan directly, but it was impossible now that his voice was gone.

Ah, maybe.

‘Are these ancient texts also related to his memories?’

Perhaps among the memories that haven’t been passed down to me, there is information related to ancient writing.

I thought that synchronization may be achieved as that part is restored.

Of course, so far it has only been an estimate.

‘Anyway…’

I looked through the texts Gremio left behind.

The letters engraved on the basement floor were first rubbed and converted into a booklet.

However, the decoding work itself ultimately had to be done from scratch.

This is because this entire string was a kind of magic circle.

‘The direction and order in which magical power is exchanged must be analyzed and calculated.’

It was indeed a difficult task.

Rather than simply deciphering written records, it was like looking into part of the magic system left behind by Gzermiu.

But ultimately, I did it.

[We succeeded in deciphering an unknown ancient record!]

[View the ancient document ‘Challenger Plan’.]

…Challenger Plan.

This was the title of the record left by Gzermiu, the demon of fate.

‘It would not have been possible to solve it without the inscriptions of heaven and earth and the inscriptions of yin and yang.’

The ancient document ‘Challenger Plan’ began as follows:

I dare to wish.

I hope this record will never be buried in the ground and never come out again.

And even if I do not exist in this world, I hope that the Great One’s plan will come true…

Surprisingly, Gremiou was already assuming the situation in which he had disappeared from the world.

It even mentioned the next demon god.

Harmun, the Demon Lord of Death, is a greedy child.

He is preparing to follow in my footsteps and ascend to the level of a demon god, but there is no way he will be satisfied with that.

He will definitely try to step up to the next level. Just like in heaven, he will aim for the position of master.

‘It wasn’t just the gods of heaven who were targeting that vacancy.’

The current demon god Harmun was also aiming for the position of ‘great one’.

Harmun was called the ‘Demon Lord of Death’ during the time of Gzermiu.

It was not recorded in the records how he became the ‘Demon God of Oblivion’.

But guessing was possible.

‘…What happens when you die is soon forgotten? So, can the Demon Lord of Death become the Demon God of Oblivion?’

I can’t be sure.

However, the fact that the Demon God of Oblivion was once the Demon Lord of Death was significant in itself.

It was in line with the story that the necromancers on Death Island were freely using Gremiu’s dimension clone technology.

‘Yes, everything fits together like this.’

I continued to read the record, feeling eerie.

And soon I was able to find the part I was looking for.

…The Great One ordered me to make arrangements for the ‘successor challenger’.

However, there are at most four challengers that I can summon with all my divine power.

Maybe five people.

One of them must become the great man’s successor.

Will it succeed?

What if they all fail?

What happens to this world?

“…Right.”

Gerard Gunter and Tae Geon-chang call us ‘traveler’ and Eve and I call ourselves ‘players’.

However, it seems that it was originally called a ‘Challenger’.

‘And Gzermiu was worried that the five challengers he brought in would all fail.’

In other words, it was intended to prepare for the case where the will of the great man was not fulfilled.

‘Even if the players don’t reach the status of a great one, it seems like they have prepared a last resort.’

An embarrassing story continued.

Even if all five people fail, the challenge must continue.

Because that challenge is the last hope of our world.

So, I give my all to create a ‘last resort’.

That is everything in our world….

“…What?”

At that point I was at a loss for words.

Because I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.

I had to keep my mouth shut and check again and again to see if I had really interpreted it correctly.

But the interpretation did not change.

Gzermiu’s record said:

…Putting everything in our world into an ‘eternally repeating fate’ so that challengers have no choice but to succeed.

This is the ‘last resort’ I have prepared.

A fate that repeats itself forever?

Putting everything in the world in there…?

‘Does this make sense?’
