Episode 246:
The Apostle of Punishment!
It is a legendary being that comes from several regions, including Sunrise Village, who flaps its wings of flame and judges the wicked on earth.
He is a hero from an old legend that no one has ever seen in real life.
Tiroling!
[You have succeeded in defending Sunrise Village!]
[Village residents killed: 3]
[Facilities destroyed: 3]
[You have succeeded in the quest!]
The casualties were those who died before arriving at the village. Although there was some unavoidable damage, the quest was a success.
In addition to the first discovery buff effect, X’s level also increased by four levels by slaughtering contaminated creatures.
Since the battle is over, the Phoenix’s wings are automatically released. X’s expression was subtle.
He muttered as he looked at the residents surrounding him.
“What an incredible coincidence?”
Unlike the practical bear stance, the wings of the phoenix boasted a very flashy and unique appearance in addition to their outstanding effectiveness.
But isn’t it a vast Fate World?
There was no way that the Gourmet King and himself could be the only ones using a technique similar to the Phoenix Wings.
But what was truly suspicious were the stories told by the residents.
X asked.
“Then you have never actually seen the Apostle of Punishment?”
“That’s right. Dear man. “I, as well as my father and grandfather, always said that the Apostle of Punishment was just an ancient hero.”
“I can’t believe we actually get to meet such a hero...!”
Lantern Lantern.
The residents looked up to X as sacred.
Since the spirit Killua was hovering around X, the illusion was bound to get worse.
However, X was rolling his head, paying no heed to the gaze.
‘Just looking at the cancer, it’s the same as during the time of King Hae-wang, isn’t it?’
Sea King!
The kid said. Although no one in his clan has ever actually seen the Sea King, he said that the Sea King was a real hero a long time ago.
There were many similarities between the Sea King and the Apostle of Punishment.
X quenched his appetite.
‘He is an apostle of punishment, so I have an ominous feeling.’
Even so, I couldn’t completely rule out the possibility.
X said to Sioras.
“Master, I have to stop by here again.”
“Let it be so. “He is an apostle of punishment... I don’t know about him, so gathering information may be helpful in his activities on the Eastern Continent.”
Even the fact that Great Sage Sioras did not know was the same.
Anyway, I thought it would be better to go back to where Hwa Eun-soo was now.
When I saw the urgent whispers from Asus in an imminent crisis, it didn’t seem like there was time to spare.
-So far, five people have died. Wait a minute, I’m tempted too!!

Even for guilds of the same size, there are ups and downs in combat power.
If I had to pick one guild that was the most powerful among guilds of this size, it would definitely be the Wicked Guild.
Cruelty without regard for means and methods!
They use forbidden poisons and memorization and focus solely on defeating their enemies.
Because they have thrown away their reputation, they are able to fight more cruelly, viciously, and mean-spiritedly than regular users.
Asus gritted his teeth.
“So there’s still a long way to go to defeat us!”
Currently, the most popular villain guild is Hell Hound. In the past, Explorer had a history of leading to a draw against the infamous Hellhound.
Of course, it was a draw created by the appearance of Yongyong, but the Explorer never lost in that battle.
“Let the silkworm dance.”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Spider webs emitting blue light oppress the creatures.
Asus took out a third treasure from his inventory. As the name suggests, the ‘Oil Rich Man’s Lamp’ was a lamp that spewed out hundreds of liters of oil per day.
“What makes me angry is that the oil cannot be sold!”
Because the oil was cursed by the oil rich, it had the added effect of being impossible to sell, but it fulfilled its role as oil faithfully.
Slurp slurp.
Slippery oil poured down on the creatures tangled in spider webs. The creatures’ tentacles began to slip and grab each other’s ankles.
Finally, the final blow came.
“shit. “I’m going with the fireworks I saved for the banquet!”
Although it was a sound that came from a very far away place, it had enough force to make you feel powerful. Something fast and huge was coming towards us!
Hwa Eun-su’s eyebrows twitched.
“What about that?”
“It’s a tsunami! But how could a tsunami come inland...?”
“Don’t be agitated. “Stay where you are!”
The NPCs, including Seo Ji-ha, had no choice but to fall into confusion.
However, Asus and other users knew. Who is the author who can create such a tsunami at will?
Asus, relieved, opened his mouth.
“The true balance destroyer has finally arrived.”
Shoot!
X rode the sea god’s judgment like a wave. This was possible thanks to the increased mastery of the Chukji method and the effect of the Heavenly Cooking sub-skill.
Looking at the battlefield from above the tsunami, I could see why Asus was in such a hurry.
“It looks like there are more ships than what we’ve defeated so far.”
However, if it were the judgment of the sea god, half of them could be wiped out.
Jump!
Soon,
After that, a huge tsunami struck all living things nearby.
Those who had closed their eyes tightly opened them with half-confidence.
“Are the wounds on your body gone?”
“What, my broken arm got reattached!”
On the contrary, the creatures stopped moving.
Passsss.
Creatures below level 600 die instantly. The rest of them must have suffered quite a bit of damage as well.
The reason why X was confident was simple. That’s because there were constant notifications ringing in my ears.
Tiroling!
[Your level has gone up!]
[Your level has gone up!]
[Fatal blow!]
[Your level has gone up!]
[Fatal blow!]
....
Jaw! X placed his hand on the runestone. He arrogantly declared it to the creatures.
“If you can take it somewhere, take it.”

The current emperor is not my father.
Princess Hwa Eun-su trusted X’s words. They said it was true that it was a god who came down from the sky, but it was impossible to complain about it.
However, trusting did not mean supporting or being certain that the plan would succeed.
The emperor who ruled the continent!
Hwa Eun-su was well aware of the authority that the emperor could exercise. Even if he ordered his children to commit fratricide, which was against the law of heaven, no one would dare go against the emperor.
Moreover, what about the generals who assist the emperor?
They were told that each one of them had the power to move mountains.
As a child, Hwa Eun-soo was often amazed by their sparring.
That’s why Hwa Eun-soo thought it wouldn’t be easy.
‘How on earth can you assassinate a fake?’
Even with the help of her brother and crown prince Hwaryu-hyeon, she would not be able to respond to the emperor on a large scale.
Even if the Gourmet King, who was X’s teacher and saved him, joined him, it seemed like it would be impossible.
But Hwa Eun-soo’s reasonable thoughts.
“I can’t believe it.” It was
falling apart, with
the exploding creation.
There were only two people joining in battle. With that alone, the situation of the war changed and was completely reversed.
Hwa Eun-su’s common sense, which he had learned as a child that the outcome of a war could never be determined by an individual, was also being shattered.
She muttered softly.
“...can do.”
My thoughts changed.
Is it a coincidence?
At that moment, the thoughts of X, the person involved, also changed.
“In order for polluted creatures to move, they need polluted rune stones along their path. That means there are quite a lot of polluted rune stones around here...”
X’s greed flinched.
“I think it would be most efficient to purify just five more things along the way and then head to Sunrise Village?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
