Chapter 122

Chapter 122 - Purpose?

Seo-joon took Young-seong and went straight out of the building.

And the presence of darkness that can be felt following Seo-jun.

“Where are you going like that?”

However, spirituality did not seem to sense any signs of ignorance.

Instead of answering, Seo-jun silently moved.

Just like that, a corner of the Dream Team building.

It was only when he reached a deserted place that Seo-jun stopped.

That moment.

Squeak.

“Fortunately, you're alive, Young-seong.”

Suddenly, an empty space split open, and a dark star trudged through it.

“...... Darkness?”

Young-seong opened his eyes in surprise at the sudden appearance of darkness.

As expected, it seemed that spirituality did not feel the signs of ignorance.

Seeing such spirituality, Amseong looked at Seojun with new eyes.

“Looking at things like this, there doesn’t seem to be a problem with stealth... I wonder how he can recognize that guy.”

“for a moment. Are you saying this child sensed your presence? Didn't you tell me?”

At the words of Youngseong asking back, Amseong nodded slightly and said,

“For some reason, that guy saw through my stealth technique. Even the Apostle of Temperance wouldn't have recognized it.”

Then, the gazes of spirituality and ignorance turned toward Seo-joon at the same time.

It's like, ‘Well, there are all these guys.' The expression of two people who want to.

“Haha... I just felt something.”

Seo-joon only laughed awkwardly.

Seeing Seo-jun like that, the two of them looked even more energetic.

But what would the truth be like?

Youngseong shook his head and asked towards the dark castle.

“More than that, ignorance. They say that your disciple is here, but is it really true?”

“okay. He is lacking in many ways, but he seems to be doing well.”

“Huh...”

Young Seong exclaimed involuntarily.

Although Seo-joon said something, it was because he wanted to.

But when the person in question said that, I couldn't believe it.

Spirituality again spoke to the ignorance.

“I heard that a demonic disciple is also here?”

“I found out about that later. They said they hired another person besides Jimin.”

And it is a known fact that Seoyoon is the granddaughter of the swordsman.

In a word, it was a guild with descendants of the heroes of Cataclysm as guild members.

What kind of guild in the world would have descendants of heroes as guild members?

No, could such a guild exist in the first place?

It is also true that guilds that have descendants of heroes as guild members are bound to be pressured by the hero in some way.

It's only natural that you care about your descendants.

Naturally, there was no choice but to interfere with the guild.

The question is, who would dare to complain about the meddling against the cataclysmic hero?

Naturally, there was no choice but to be swayed by the hero, and the guild would collapse in an instant.

In this way, even one descendant of a hero had to see that there was no guild that could endure.

So, to be precise, it is not that such a guild cannot exist, but rather that

there is no one who can bear and embrace the pressure of the heroes.

By the way, the sword star, the dark star, and the demon star.

It also withstands the pressure against not one but three heroes?

The eyes of the two heroes turned to Seojun again.

“Uh... Why are you suddenly like that?”

A guild with descendants of the heroes of Cataclysm as guild members.

A guild whose master is the Irregular, which is impossible to estimate even if the two heroes are measured.

“What mistake did I make...?”

No matter how much I thought about it, I could only think of it as a crazy guild.

“no. It's nothing, don't worry about it.”

Amseong shook his head and continued talking.

“Stop talking about rubbish... Spirituality. Can you hear more about what happened inside the dungeon?”

Spirituality nodded and said.

“This child saved my life. The first time I entered the Draug Dungeon after receiving a call from Taebum...”

The moment that such a long story was about to begin.

“for a moment!”

Seo-jun intervened and shouted.

Then, the eyes of the two heroes focused again.

Seojun smiled and said.

“Is it okay if I explain that?”

“Well... I'm going to do whatever I feel comfortable with.”

Amseong nodded along with Youngseong's words.

Seojun explained in detail what had happened in the Draug Dungeon to Amseong.

“But all of a sudden, the draugs started to run away, and I chased after them...”

He explained in great detail.

“And from there, something smelled like Jinrihoe? I just felt it. ah! What tricks did the Jinrihoe do! Like this. Isn't that right, Youngseong-nim?”

“Uh... uh uh, was that so...?”

“Oh yes! That's why I was there...”

Exactly, it was very emphasized that Jinrihoe was involved.

End of such a long story.

“Is this really true?”

Sure enough, the ignorance asked about its authenticity.

Seojun proudly pointed to Youngseong next to him and shouted.

“here! Young Seong-nim is the witness of it all! Isn’t that right, Youngseong-nim?”

Then Seo-joon and Am-seong's gaze focused on spirituality.

“Actually... it is.”

Spirituality nodded slowly.

But for some reason, the expression on his face was grim.

It was also because what Seojun said was a little strange.

Seo-jun, seen by Young-seong, was crazy about dehydrating the draugs, and all he did was deal with the devil.

But suddenly what is this...?

Another funny thing is that when you look closely, there is nothing that isn't true.

“Actually... that's right.”

Spirituality was just strange.

“haha. look at that! am i? You can't lie, can you?”

Seo-joon pounded his chest and shouted.

“Do it! I have enough 10 billion... no, 10 billion to conclude that Jinrihoe is aiming for Youngseong... no, so... that's right!”

Seo-joon concluded his words with a shameless expression, probably because he didn't know.

Amseong shook his head as if he was fed up with seeing Seo-jun like that.

In fact, that's what it means, doesn't it mean that you just have to deposit money yourself?

Who in the world could say such a thing against cancer?

“......I get it. I will give you 10 billion as promised.”

However, the darkness nodded slowly without saying anything.

In a way, this case was a situation in which Amseong's mistakes were covered by Seojun.

If it wasn't for Seojun, Youngseong wouldn't be standing here right now.

Seojun nodded slowly and continued.

“The Jinrihoe saw the future where Beserk collapsed even though the damage to the heroes was severe. And that's how I judged it.”

After taking a breath for a while, Seo-joon opened his mouth again.

“They say Beserk shouldn’t come out right now.”

“That means...”

“Isn't the great voice and the seven apostles deliberately making Beserk disappear?”

Then the eyes of spirituality and ignorance began to open wide.

He then spoke in a trembling voice.

“Why the hell did the Jinrihoe do that...? Rather, what does it have to do with eliminating heroes?”

Seo-joon spoke calmly.

“Because only heroes can stand against Beserk. So, instead of releasing Beserk right away, Jinrihoe wanted to eliminate heroes who could stand against it over time.”

“When all the heroes of Cataclysm were eliminated like that. To be precise, when there were no people who could stand against Beserk. If Beserk is released into the world again...”

A word from Seo-jun continued.

“The world can’t handle the cataclysm and is on its way to the end.”

“......!!”

“......!!”

The faces of spirituality and ignorance began to be colored with astonishment.

And the question of spirituality that followed.

“Ha, but baby. If what you're saying is true, why do you need to do that? Time will solve it anyway, right?”

Seojun nodded slowly.

“Yes. As Youngseong said, there is no need to go to such an extreme to eliminate heroes. After all, the heroes will die at the end of their lives anyway.”

The lifespan of heroes is not infinite.

In a word, it was something to be left alone.

There was no reason for the Jinrihoe to go this far.

It was a problem that time would take care of.

But what if there is not much time left for Jinrihoe?

“Perhaps... the Jinrihoe is in a situation where Beserk cannot be captured forever. In a word, there is no time left.”

And Insight gave this evidence of this possibility.

“Distortion.”

Seo-joon continued to speak.

“Isn’t it strange that the Distortion suddenly occurs?”

The Distortion was originally an anomaly that could only be seen during the Cataclysm.

A phenomenon that has not occurred since the end of Cataclysm, but has recently begun to occur.

And Beserk is an apocalyptic monster called Cataclysm itself.

“What if the Distortion occurs as the power of Beserk, which had been sealed and disappeared, is released again?”

Therefore, the insight suggested three possibilities.

first.

“As the seal of Beserk weakened, its power spread to the world and caused distortion.”

second.

“The Jinrihoe recently discovered a way to use Beserk’s power.”

and last.

“Maybe it's both of them.”

Seo-joon looked at the two heroes for a while as he concluded his words.

“......!!”

“......!!”

Then, the expressions of the two heroes distorted beyond shock and astonishment.

Seojun opened his mouth to the two of them again.

“But like I said, I’m not sure.”

As such, insight interprets and understands phenomena based on given information.

I had no choice but to be silent about information that was not given in a word.

I can only infer.

The reason why the insight was activated now was because Seojun had heard the clues about Beserk and the story of the Apostle of Temperance from Amseong.

“The thoughts I have just expressed are based on the fact that the purpose of Jinrihoe is not pure. More precisely, they are possibilities based on the assumption that Jinrihoe aims at the end of the earth.”

however.

“Isn’t that what Jinrihoe did?”

In the meantime, Jinrihoe's actions were not at all like that.

If Jinrihoe really had impure intentions.

It would have been enough if I had stayed still from the beginning.

But Jinrihoe not only ended the cataclysm.

Like the heroes of Cataclysm, it was clear that he saved people and sacrificed them.

If the end of the earth was the goal, it would have been enough if the heroes had been hostile in the first place.

Or after the heroes and Beserk were destroyed.

It was enough for a great voice and seven apostles to rule the world.

They had enough power to do that.

But did I really need to draw such a big picture?

One more thing above all.

What if the future Jinrihoe saw wasn't the future where Beserk collapsed?

In fact, contrary to Seo-jun's expectations, what if the world lacks the power to deal with Beserk and is nothing more than a temporary seal?

“There are so many inconsistent actions. So little has been revealed about Jinrihoe.”

In the first place, Seo-jun was not even sure that the great voice existed.

It's just because the heroes of the cataclysm saw it.

Too little information has yet been revealed to fully believe in the potential for insight.

“......”

“......”

However, despite the reasoning based on that piece of information, the two heroes couldn’t help but be astonished.

‘Oh, how is this...'

‘What are you really doing...'

Not even a cataclysmic hero, but a mere pro hunter can say such a thing.

And that's a newbie who just got an A-class hunter's license.

Of course, as Seo-jun said, it was just a simple possibility.

Even the two heroes didn't know much about Jinrihoe.

But if...

Seojun's words are true.

What will happen if Beserk is liberated again someday?

Now the heroes were getting older and losing their strength.

And today's professional hunters can't stop Beserk.

A job that is not just about making money.

Will this world have the power to stop the monster of the end?

The heads of both ignorance and spirituality turned toward Seo-joon at the same time.

and thoughts that come to mind.

‘If this guy...'

‘If this kid...'

But the two heroes shook their heads right away.

No matter how amazing Seojun was, it wasn't Beserk.

Beserk is literally the monster of the apocalypse.

It is a monster that can never be defeated.

It must be so.

“Uh...why do you say that?”

What is this tickle that rises from the corner of my heart?

“......”

“......”

The two heroes could not define their feelings.
