god (1)

James' mercenaries were hospitalized for a while.

They were exposed to the dragon pier for a long time, and there were a lot of people who were injured by direct attacks.

The saddest thing is that five people died.

Like all mercenaries, it was a job that risked his life to make money, so he had no choice but to be dissatisfied with the result while agreeing to it.

'It's the captain's mistake.'

'It was definitely a hasty decision.'

The skills of the James mercenaries were still insufficient to attack a new-level monarch.

They would have looked down on them as just a slow and huge individual without wings.

dissatisfied.

Nevertheless, they attacked and were beaten harshly. If Hong Se-hee did not appear in a timely manner, the damage would have been greater.

'This is all a misjudgment of the captain.'

Since it's a job risking your life, a mercenary is the one who knows how precious your life is.

No one works to die, and works to live more than anyone else.

In some cases, it takes more than a month for a briefing before the operation, so the operation is carried out carefully by knocking on stone bridges one by one.

This operation certainly felt hasty.

If the pay was high, it wasn't.

honor.

With that honor that will spread throughout the United States, the future expectations of generating great income based on it.

That alone participated, and the result was a huge failure.

It's lucky if you don't get ridiculed or ridiculed, let alone honor.

"This is really your last chance."

James, who came back from the president alone, conveyed his will to the team members again with eyes full of anticipation, but the reaction was not good.

"Captain, you are too greedy."

right. Even an 8-star dungeon can't be guaranteed to be a complete strategy, but it's a 9-star dungeon. prematurely."

James shook his head at the warm reaction of the team members.

"It's not an attack. just research. Do you have a hearthstone?"

"What if that hearthstone doesn't work?"

What?

"You don't know. Are you sure the hearthstone works in that dungeon?"

" Sure!

"On what grounds?"

There's no such thing as justification.

It's been good so far, so I'm just guessing that it will do well in the future.

"The portal color is also different. I am shy."

Me too. This is not a decision for the team. The captain needs to wake up from the dream."

" ."

James looked around the team.

Their facial expressions were telling us everything, even if they didn't have to answer.

'I lost my trust.'

James closed his eyes.

I lost control of the team. It's no longer his team.

However, it is impossible to give up like this.

'You will only be branded as a failure.'

Faces were sold all over the country.

The James mercenaries didn't know that they were already finished.

James made up his mind and spoke sternly.

Good. losers."

The attention was focused on James.

What?

"Shut up and listen!"

James used to kill his teammates who were trying to rebel.

"You all live as failures. Only take the safe road. I can't end it like this."

James hit the wall next to him with his fist.

bang.

The paint was peeling off and crumbs of concrete fell.

"I go. It's just an investigation mission. Fear of the unknown?"

James looked at his teammates one by one.

"Yeah, it's like a moon landing. It's just the first step."

" ."

James said with a strong voice.

"I go. I don't want to end my career as a failure like this."

It seems that some of the team members' expressions have changed.

"Someone to go with remains, and everyone else leaves. As of today, the James Mercenary Corps is disbanded."

dissolution of the guild.

After saying those words, James went out, the mercenaries murmured and some packed up.

"Damn, don't just talk. After all, you are going to die."

right. It's dog death."

no. Isn't it worth doing? There is a hearthstone."

"What if that only works on red portals? That black portal is disgusting."

"Well, I want to go. You have to listen to the conditions."

right. Where are you going to get us anyway? You will only be laughed at."

"Are you stupid? a new lord Anyone would have failed like us. This was just an unsuccessful operation. It wasn't a failure, it was a plan that shouldn't have been rushed in the first place.

"Shut up everyone. Those who don't want to do it are a matter of turning it off."

"Get off the cowards. I'll have to go see what's inside that portal.

Crazy. What are you all obsessed with? I have to go."

"Yeah, go away, coward."

"I'll leave some flowers on your graves. Good job."

The mercenaries who had been arguing for a long time left one by one.

After a while, James returned to his seat and shook his head.

"I'm glad there are more crazy people like me than I thought."

"A mercenary is a treat."

right. How do you know what's good for a 9-star dungeon?

James looked around at the remaining six mercenaries and grinned.

Good. Let's go, warriors.

it's an investigation

Seven is enough, including yourself. Above all, there is Miller who is a healer and has a knack for removing debuffs.

Since it was a mission that did not require active hunting, this was enough.

A small number of people have more strengths.

Seven mercenaries, including James, set out on the operation.

It was the beginning of the operation name, "One Step Into Darkness."

*Push Sissy.

Suho looked around the black world he had become accustomed to, and saw Black Man perched on a rock over there.

Hi?

[That's funny.]

"Do you want to see how stupid I was in the past?"

[Just go.]

"What kind of bluff is this?"

Suho chuckled.

The black men left behind have vague hostility towards the living guardian, but why is this guy like this?

"Just run fast."

[You are doing something reckless.]

"No, come on."

[Do you think you can handle all death?]

"I don't know. Let's eat and see."

[You are ignorant.]

"I am you."

[That too.]

"What's with all these guys?"

A person's personality changes depending on the environment in which he grew up.

The same is true for other personalities that diverged from the age of 23, when the growth period that will undergo the most changes is over.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed since then, and your personality may change radically.

"Are you me?"

[Right.]

Can it change like this?

All the Black Men you've met so far are roughly the same, aren't they?

I'm not cheap, I'm in a hurry, I'm angry for nothing... .

"Let's stick together quickly."

[There is nothing that can not be attached.]

The Black Man was sitting on a black rock, then wiped his seat and approached him.

Shush Shush.

As a greeting, Suho threw a fist.

bang!

The black man, who had his head bent in one shot, flew away and crashed into a rock, squirmed.

" ."

Blackman got up and patted his face.

[You are very strong.]

"Aren't you weak?"

[No way.]

Although Black Man is a little weak, Suho has absorbed his previous life of 5,000 years.

It is true that the power has been greatly increased compared to before.

[Huh, if it were you... . no. It won't work though.]

What are you talking about?

[You will know if you defeat me anyway.]

Good. Let's not drag it too long."

Suho flew straight up and slapped Blackman's head.

Papa Pat!

The Black Man fell and the black world was scattered.

And in the red desert that woke up, Suho grabbed a magic stone.

; absorption

The delete option has already been deleted. From now on, any Black Man it encounters will be eaten.

Of course, Kuro's past and the past of other gods are specifications.

Papa Papa.

The magic stone was fragmented and turned into smoke, which was absorbed by the guardian.

Amid the flood of memories, Suho read the past of the Black Man he had just encountered.

A man who has lived for 3,000 years.

I don't know what era I lived in.

As lucky as himself, the gate to Earth was opened and he returned to Earth.

After living a life similar to that of Suho, he could not save the Earth's crisis... .

'It was eroded.'

I prevented the advent of the divine beast, but I couldn't prevent my own death from tightening.

The Earth began to run rampant and the black men died.

Did you not know about the return?

Perhaps he lived in a time before the regressor Lee Seong-woo appeared.

I walked around screaming in the dead world.

dead planet.

Earth.

What Suho, who was left alone, was faced with suddenly opened portals.

And a giant dragon that tore it out.

'Open the way. Guide.'

The dragon's blow dropped his neck.

Memories end there... .

Papa Papa!

All the smoke was absorbed and Suho opened his eyes.

he's never been weak

He was more powerful than Suho before he absorbed the past and powered it up.

However, like himself, he could not overcome the erosion and save the Earth.

It would have been good if he returned to the new realm and became a god, but he spent his time aimlessly on Earth.

Then he lost his head in vain to the dragon that appeared.

"Huh, you mean more sedan than you think?"

Midearl Planet.

I can't forget the face of the dragon I just met in my memory.

What he said to guide you was probably the door to the new realm.

'I make passages with the new world.'

God's will makes the way.

When it went to Midear, the New Dragon War revolted, and when it headed to Earth, it saw the end of the earth.

And the tenacious dragons tried to invade the new realm using the earth as a foothold.

I don't know the world after the memory of the guardian I just absorbed was cut off.

The Shinryong Daejeon is an event in history that may have happened hundreds of thousands of times.

Janus won't tell you, so there's no way to know.

"How old is Janus?"

Do you know everything about him?

I don't think that's necessarily the case, but somehow, he's a guy with a lot of secrets.

fairy king.

What is its origin... .

"Oh, let's eat the next one."

Suho didn't touch any tombs.

After the power-up, he was full of confidence, but if he meets an Old God who is more powerful than him, he will die.

black smoke.

I know the meaning of the tombstone rising with smoke.

'The passage left after the death of a new-level monarch.'

It will become a black portal to Earth, connecting with this tomb.

If not removed beforehand, the Black Man will flow into Earth.

Suho turned into a heavenly dragon again and flew quickly through the red desert.

And I found a smoky tombstone.

Shush.

It descended sharply and immediately made contact with the tombstone.

*"Your brave steps will be the cornerstone of a great America."

It is an honour.

Seven mercenaries shook hands with the president.

It could be dog death, or it could be an adventurer who came back with a great discovery.

Maybe it will be on the same level as Columbus' discovery of the New World.

No, it will be.

So, didn't you have the courage to stand here?

"James mercenaries. enter."

Yeah.

"Old story."

Seven mercenaries quickly entered the black portal.

Papa Papa Pat.

Seeing the seven who disappeared in an instant, the president muttered.

"Great America ."

It may be already too late, but it cannot be left behind.

It was hoped that the seven mercenaries who had just disappeared would not end in vain sacrifice.

* The feeling is not bad.

A little dizziness, like moving dungeons, and a groan.

"Wait."

However, the world I saw through my eyes was completely different from the dungeon.

"Shhhh."

A space where everything is black.

The ground, the trees, the grass .

The funny thing is that everything is black and they are distinct.

"Everyone, be quiet."

I didn't come for a tour.

It is an investigation mission that demands confidentiality.

James looked around carefully, looking for a place to hide for a while.

My heart was pounding at the atmosphere of this all-black space.
