Episode 83
▶ After 5 minutes, the second pet from the red zone will be summoned.
▶ The location is Noul Canyon.
▶ If you successfully hunt all of the second summons, a special reward will be given to all participants in the red zone.
▶ Please prepare everything.
“Are you sure… is it okay?”
“I received a call from Aira Michel. It looks like a field boss has been summoned, as well as the reported wyvern. Have you seen the situation in the city? “We can’t catch them as is.”
Alec Traman said as he fastened the Star Sea Sword to his waist.
“You guys would know. “I’m talking about the reward that drops when you go through the portal and join forces with STW to capture the Goblin Lord.”
Hanson and Johanna made no reply to his words. However, as evidence of compensation, their entire bodies were filled with rare items that had never been seen before.
“The weapons that drop in the red zone are of completely different grades than before. “If the Goblin Lord drops rare items, what about the Serpent?”
Alec said to the two people.
“We haven’t given up on the people who are left over there. “I decided to complete the hunt for the Serpent, become stronger, and reliably block the monsters.”
“that’s right. I don’t mean to keep hunting here. Just up to the serpent. Since it is a monster you have never experienced before, the risk will also increase. It means being safe and strong and saving more people.”
Hanson and Johanna turned their heads to the faint voice coming from behind the barracks.
Long, lemon-colored hair.
The almost turquoise-colored eyes had a strangely sacred feel to them.
‘Is it that person…’
‘Indeed…’
The moment the two saw her, strangely enough, the worries they had just moments before seemed to melt away like snow.
‘okay. ‘This is the right thing to do.’
‘Because becoming stronger means saving more people.’
It was an amazing thing. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Before they knew it, something like absolute faith in Eira had developed in their hearts.
“You said you were at the place where you hunted the summoned serpent when the second door opened, right?”
“That’s right. All three of us were there. “I’ve experienced it firsthand and I know how to hunt.”
“I feel reassured.”
Aira smiled and nodded, as if satisfied with Alec’s answer.
“Let’s go.”
She spoke to the three of them.
‘Everyone is out.’
And the eyes that were watching them.
The
moment he confirmed that Alec and his group had left the safe area, Hojun took off the hood of his cloak.
Then, to his surprise, his face appeared from the bushes as if floating.
“Oh my, my waist.”
He, who had been hunched over, straightened his back and spoke as if he was finally going to live.
“My brother told me to leave the head, but I didn’t know it was meant to be used this way, not for hunting.”
When Hojun turned his head, people, including Myeonghun, appeared all around him.
Gyeongin So-min voice actor and Jeon Tae-ho.
Except for Namgung, the rest of the team had been hiding here for several days.
Numbering 520910.
Name: Red Hunter’s Cloak (limited to the red zone)
Grade: Magic (highest)
▶ Price: 1000 heads
▶ A cloak once used by a capable hunter who hunted the red zone.
▶ You can hide your presence by wearing a cape.
▶ The moment you leave the red zone, your cloak is destroyed.
When Hojun took off the cloak he was wearing, his complete appearance appeared.
“When the portal opened, it was crowded at first… but after the monsters were summoned to the continent, the red zone became quiet.”
Jeon Tae-ho said, looking a little tired.
“The opportunity has finally come.”
He drank the water in his canteen and sighed softly.
Myung-Hoon accepted the canteen he handed to him and answered.
▶ The Serpent has been summoned from Sunset Canyon!
▶ All participants must hunt serpents.
As the sky turned red and a notification sounded indicating the appearance of a boss monster, Myung-Hoon turned his head.
“It has begun.”
“okay. And now we are just getting started.”
At Jeon Tae-ho’s words, they each grabbed their weapons.
“Who would have imagined it?”
They held their breath as they stared at the safe area where Alek Traman had left.
“I never would have thought that the real boss of the red zone was actually the closest one.”
* * *
▶ All golems that stopped working have been dismantled.
▶ The disassembled golems became materials for new creations.
▶ A new creature will soon be summoned near the location where the golem was destroyed for the first time.
The sky turned black.
Namgung opened his eyes, gathering his composure as the fearful notification sounded in his head.
After an hour of sweet respite that felt like the eve of a storm, it was time for hell to unfold again.
Doo doo doo doo….
The loud propeller sound of GL-8821, a special purpose helicopter made by modifying a Chinook transport helicopter, was heard.
“There will be chaos again.”
Jang Gil-soo, who was sitting in his seat, looked at the changed sky and said.
“But since official documents have been sent to each country, there won’t be a panic like the first time.”
Unlike the first time, there was a monster air attack and it was Korea that stopped it, so although it was late, the warning about the second air attack could not be ignored this time.
“It’s reassuring to see your face.”
“Now that the place where the monsters will come out has been determined, there is no longer any need to stay locked up and guard the house.”
Namgoong looked at Jang Gil-soo and Park Hyo-joo sitting across from him.
“But is this the end for the three of us?”
“Well… I also contacted Jin Soo-hyuk, but… he refused.”
Park Hyo-joo answered Jang Gil-soo’s question with an embarrassed expression.
“And among the people I told you to look into before, there is no one who can be put into practice yet.”
Namgung nodded at her words.
“Jin Soo-hyuk, I am grateful just for protecting Daejeon.”
It wasn’t surprising because it was somewhat expected.
“What I mean is… those who claim to be revelators or something. “I heard there are people who are still hiding?”
However, unlike Namgoong’s reaction, Jang Gil-soo did not seem to like the current situation.
“What are you doing now that the world is more likely to be destroyed than to help? den howl? “He said he came back from the red zone.”
“I sent a request for cooperation… but it was not granted. They say it’s for the protection of their country, but….”
“Because it’s not happening on my land. First of all, do they think they can be safe? Damn those guys….”
Jang Gil-soo gritted his teeth at Park Hyo-joo’s words.
“We don’t have enough time anyway. “There is no way even Den Howl could fly here from America within an hour after the golem is destroyed.”
Namgung looked at Park Hyo-joo.
“What did I ask for?”
“You asked me to upload information about that sword, right? “We distributed information to media that could be mobilized, not only through various broadcasting stations but also on the Internet.”
Park Hyo-ju pointed to his sword.
“When I posted that you can get these weapons by hunting bosses, the comments got really crazy.”
[Confessor Thanian’s Sword] was not actually an item dropped by a boss monster, but its epic rating was enough to scare people.
“That’s enough. “If you just post it, you might think it’s a rumor, but right now, the Goblin Lord has been hunted in the red zone.”
People who participated in the red zone have returned, and the number of people who directly witnessed the item drop has now increased.
“But will that help in this situation?”
“We’ll have to wait and see. “Maybe the greedy guy will make a move.”
“…?”
Namgung smiled strangely.
“It’s a battle of loneliness. Everyone doesn’t know, but they don’t know too much. Don’t they know that it will be their turn next?”
“Because no one wants to die. You can’t blame them for running away or turning away. “Not everyone can be brave.”
“Then how can you be so brave? You said you were from special forces, right? So is it different?”
“Do you mean me?”
Namgung smiled bitterly at Jang Gil-soo’s question.
“I’m not brave.”
he said
“I’m just struggling as best I can because I’m more afraid of this world than anyone else.”
Jang Gil-su could not say anything in response to his answer.
This was quite different from his cool-headed way of finding a way out of any situation, as if he knew the answer.
“Hmm….”
Anxiety that I might really fail.
As much as he trusted Namgung, Jang Gil-su felt from his answer that this battle would really not be easy.
[Is that even a returner in the end?]
That was then.
[I can’t believe I was scared by the boss of the third door.]
I couldn’t hear the loud noise of the helicopter just a moment ago.
A sinking feeling, as if settling.
“Yor.”
In the black subspace, Namgung looked at the boy standing in front of him.
“What are you doing all of a sudden without warning?”
[I’m shocked. Do I, a person of status, need to get permission from you, a revealer?]
“If you came here with the intention of teasing me unnecessarily. Fear is a natural emotion that humans have. “Just because you have memories of your past life doesn’t mean you know everything.”
[Hmm. Still, it’s strange. A guy who has lived for 25 years… really?]
Yor looked at Namgung and widened his eyes.
[Did you fail to conquer the third door in your past life?]
“…”
Namgung’s face hardened at his question.
Blinded by the items dropped in the red zone, humans fought among themselves to occupy the safe zone, and at that moment, a monster invasion appeared.
In addition, the difficulty of the red zone increased, and with the failure of the attack, the fourth door was opened…
It could be said to be the beginning of a real hell.
That was the reason why Namgung desperately tried to attack the third.
[Judging by the expression on his face, it’s true. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. On the one hand, it’s something to be proud of. It’s my plan, after all. Unlike the clumsy phases, we clearly organized the humans.]
“…What does that mean?”
[I guess you didn’t know. Well, even if you return, it doesn’t mean it’s over. You are the only one who turned back time. The remaining 25 years of Carnival will still be going on there. Well… the world ended because you disappeared.]
“I asked you what it meant.”
Namgung glared at Yor as if he was growling.
[You will know that the night of the summoned beast begins soon. A chance to get summons from survivors. It is a benefit that status gives to humans.]
“…But?”
[During the Carnival, every aspect plans its own benefits.]
Yor said.
[But the Aspects do not only plan benefits.]
“Could it be… Are the Aspects also planning the invasion of monsters that are summoned when each door is opened?”
[that’s right. In particular, this monster’s invasion is especially special for this body…]
Quaaaaang—!!
It was then.
Namgung’s body leapt out and punched Yor.
Crunch –
And just before his fist touched Yor’s cheek, his fist stopped by a piece of paper.
[If you ask me if I’m coming or not… I’m crossing the line.]
“Shut up.”
[What did you expect? The Aspects want their Revelator to survive, but that’s just to win the carnival. You know it’s not to save humanity.]
“I know. “I know it very well.”
Namgoong pumped his fists with all his might.
However, the intangible energy blocking him was a force that he could not break no matter how hard he tried.
[In the first place, the starting line for you and me is different. Our positions were different, but we can’t argue about right and wrong now.]
“Did you come here to tell us that? Are you trying to brag that you planned the third Gate of Hell, which killed the most people?”
Yor chuckled at his words.
[no. I was just curious about your fear. Rather, I thought it was something to be happy about.]
“Happy? “In a place where so many people are dying?”
Namgung growled at him.
[Because if you clear the third door, which you failed to do in your previous life, you will be able to prevent a bigger disaster in the future.]
However, even with his eyes glaring at him, Yor spoke as if he was amazed.
[Of course it’s something to be happy about. Because your efforts so far have not been wrong.]
“…What?”
[You don’t have to be afraid.]
“What is that…”
Yor spoke in a low voice to Namgung’s ear.
“…Namgoong!!”
It was then.
“…?!!”
When the black space disappeared, Park Hyo-joo’s face appeared in front of him. For a moment, he had a dazed expression, feeling dazed as if he had woken up from a dream.
Doo doo doo doo doo….
The loud sound of the helicopter’s propeller was heard again.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah, I guess I was a little tired.”
‘If you appear for no reason…’
Yor suddenly appears.
Namgung shook his head, sighing lowly in dismay.
“Arrived.”
As Park Hyo-joo said, Namgung looked out the window.
Below, I could see a number of high-rise buildings, including Centum City and BEXCO.
But what caught their eyes more than the buildings was the golden magic circle that appeared above the sky.
▶ Broken golems become materials to summon new creations.
Pure white light split into several branches and began to enter a magic circle that looked like a huge jar.
Coogggggggg…!!!
With a loud roar, the magic circle began to rotate slowly.
‘What’s coming out?’
Because it was the third gate of hell that he had not been able to conquer even in his previous life, Namgung could not help but be nervous.
With a stern face, he looked at the magic circle that was shaking as if it was about to explode at any moment.
[Keeeeeeek…!!]
At that moment, a sharp roar was heard from within the magic circle.
“Leviathan…?”
And as the magic circle disappeared, Namgung burst into laughter at the sight of the monster that appeared.
A water dragon with pure white silver scales was looking at him from inside the helicopter.
It was a guy I knew.
That too, to the point where I was sick of it.
Seven disasters that occurred over 25 years.
One of the most terrible monsters known as the first.
A demonic beast that ate 97 of the 100 members of the deadly force comprised of powerful figures from each country, including the Revelator.
“Isn’t it already too early for you to come out? “It hasn’t even been half a year since the carnival started…”
That was then.
A thought passes through Namgung’s head.
“Damn Yor… now I know why he showed up.”
Yor said he had planned the third door.
“Could it be… that it wasn’t the first disaster, but was actually the boss of the third door?”
In my previous life, I was never able to close the third door.
Maybe it was because a certain amount of time passed without the door being closed that it was automatically summoned.
That meant that all seven disasters that appeared over the past 25 years were not actually separate from the Gate of Hell, but bosses who were automatically summoned because the gate could not be closed.
‘What that means is that if we close the door quickly, we may encounter other disasters sooner than I know.’
The water dragon, which was over several hundred meters tall, felt intimidating as if I was facing a huge tower.
[Keeeeeeek–!!!]
When Namgung made eye contact, the water dragon began to roar and shake its head as if it knew him.
“Ugh!!!”
“Ugh…!!”
Leviathan’s roar is enough to make the earth tremble.
▶ Check the legendary quest goal!!
▶ The first ‘Incarnation of the Seven Serpents’ appears!
▶ Hunt the Avatar.
▶ New perks are created according to the number of Avatars hunted. (0/7)
During the free quest, the legendary quest I received from Yor at the Three Poison Gate rang again.
“Yor. It’s as you said.”
Namgung smiled coldly as he looked at the updated quest window in front of him.
“This is something to be really happy about.”
Slurp –
He adjusted his sword and held it.
