Chapter 94

Episode 94

[Are you a swordsman?! Now wait a minute. Brother…!!]

Gyu-ryu couldn’t hide his embarrassment at Namgung’s words and blurted out the words before closing his mouth.

“No matter how contracted they are, the substitute clan is like an older brother to humans. Then, I heard something from my superiors.”

[Oh no. It’s not my brother… In any case, you should never use a sword!! Do you know what kind of place it is?]

“I’m just saying I don’t know.”

[If Tongcheonru (通天樓) is a sanctuary where the treasures of the Yasha tribe are kept, then Geommyo (劍墓) is a golden station! That is a place that even yakshas never go to.]

“Because I am human.”

[Oh, that’s not what you meant.]

Gyu Ryu shook his head, pinching his forehead in response to Namgung’s answer.

“I know very well that it is Geumyeok and that it is one of the most dangerous places.”

[So?]

“But you also know that this is where the most powerful weapon is located.”

Namgung walked inside Rakanheim and looked at Gyu-ryu.

“Evil ghost sword.”

The highest level of epic-grade weapons.

It was of a higher grade than Alec’s Star Sea Sword, the weapon bestowed by his current status. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Wow… crazy!! Do you know that much?]

Gyu-ryu looked at his words as if he was dumbfounded.

[I see. Ah, I see. I guess you went there before returning?]

Namgung nodded instead of answering.

[Have you ever used a demon sword?]

“No. “I didn’t even get it.”

[But it looks like you went there anyway. In that case, it’s a great thing that you didn’t die and came back alive. When did you go there? 5 years since Carnival started? No, 10 years? At least that much is needed to determine whether or not it can withstand Geomyo’s evil energy.]

Gyu-ryu’s face turned skeptical at his answer.

[Well, what does it matter? I don’t know how long ago he went to Geommyo, but it must have been a stronger time than now. What I dare to say is, don’t trust your past self.]

“What does it mean?”

Gyu-ryu spoke with his arms crossed as if he were teaching.

[It means that if you go there now, you will never come back alive.]

“That is kind. “After all, you are a good guy.”

[Oh no?]

“But you talk too much.”

However, unlike Gyu-ryu, who was worried, Namgung showed a strange confidence in his words.

“Swordsmanship is definitely something I failed at in my past life. “The reason I want to challenge myself is because now I can do things that I was not prepared for in my past life.”

[Can you prepare something?]

Kugggggggg…

Namgung looked at Rakanheim’s warehouse that was slowly opening.

“For example, a giant’s Noble Phantasm that disappeared and could not be obtained at the time.”

He said as he looked at Rakanheim’s warehouse, which, unlike the Yasha clan’s Tongcheonru, which was like a library, was piled with countless shiny treasures that were difficult to open.

Goosebumps –

at that moment, an unknown joy enveloped his whole body.

It was a time of reward.

* * *

[Wow… Have I really become the king of the giants? It’s crazy. it’s crazy. [Kick.]

Gyu Ryu took the hand of the Rakanheim warehouse and opened the door, looking at his hand several times in disbelief.

-It would be best not to get excited since you haven’t properly become the head of the company yet.

[Ahem, anyway, aren’t we on the same line now? There is no one else who can take on the position of leader of the giants other than me.]

-Well.

The queen shrugged her shoulders and shook her head at Gyu-ryu, who was sassy.

“You can brag about Gyu-ryu to your dad later and then take a look inside the warehouse. “There must be a secret place that only the leader can open.”

[Okay… I understand. But I’m telling you this in case you misunderstand because I’m not the type of person who is obsessed with my father.]

“Yes. “I understand, so don’t brag to me and just go do it.”

[No, I mean…]

Gyu-ryu was about to say something, then sighed and lowered his head.

Wooooow….

As he stretched out his hand, the treasures piled up in the warehouse began to react one by one.

[Okay, let’s clean up the giants and live. This looks like just a pile of trash.]

Gyu-ryu muttered, concentrating even more.

Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!!

Then, the treasures piled up like a mountain collapsed, revealing a lump of rough rock that did not match the sparkling treasures inside.

“Oh, there is.”

Namgung was pleased to see the rock that seemed the most useless among the treasures.

Numbering 3.

Name: Ancient Seed

Grade: Legendary (First)

▶ A giant’s treasure that builds the world of giants.

▶ Although it is called a seed, it resembles a huge rock.

▶ It is known that Golia, the first leader of the giants, was born here.

▶ Increases the bearer’s physical defense.

▶ When activated, the entire body is covered with ore that nullifies all attacks for 30 seconds.

▶ It has strong vitality.

▶ There appears to be some additional hidden power.

[The giant’s treasure is a rock… No. Should I say they are like giants?]

Gyu-ryu said, hitting the seed.

“I want to take this. “Can you make it a little smaller?”

[It’s not a difficult task.]

Gyu-ryu said confidently in response to Namgung’s words.

Wooooow…!!

When he spread out his palm and placed it on the seed, the huge rock instantly turned into a palm-sized pebble.

[It’s here.]

-It’s worth a look. There would never be a leader who would give his clan’s treasures to humans so carelessly.

[Isn’t it all mutual aid?]

Gyu-ryu twitched his lips as if he was not bothered by the queen’s provocation.

[Do you need anything else?]

“This is enough. All of the giants’ weapons are heavy, so there is nothing I can use right now. In fact, even having this is a burden.”

In fact, the size of the seed decreased, but its weight remained the same. At first glance, it looked like he was holding the seed normally, but upon closer inspection, you could see black smoke surrounding Namgung’s arm holding the seed.

It is held by mobilizing all the power of the spirits.

-What should we do about the lake?

The queen asked Namgung carefully.

Now that the giants’ work was over, she hoped that Namgung would achieve his goal.

‘The Fairy Queen of the world is servile to humans. This is truly a truly spectacular sight.’

Gyu-ryu seemed to have forgotten his own situation and smiled as he looked at the queen.

“Wait there. “It’s not too late to do that after dealing with the fourth door.”

-But….

“Let the giants be the watchmen of the lake instead of Gyu-ryu Yong-a. Even the Naga Queen will not forcefully try to take over the lake, even by fighting against the giants.”

[All right. I will sort out those who are useful and deal with them.]

“Good.”

Namgung seemed satisfied and walked out of the warehouse holding the seeds.

Quang-!!

It was then.

Namgung, who was trying to leave the warehouse, hit an invisible wall and fell backwards.

“….”

There was silence along with the shocked faces of the yaksha and the fairy at the sight of Namgung stretched out on the floor.

“What.”

[Uh uh… What? Sleep, sleep, sleep!! Just a moment.]

Gyu-ryu looked at Namgung, who was sitting on the floor, rubbing his throbbing nose, and began to hurriedly search for something with a puzzled look on his face.

[Oh, it’s here!! New King’s Rule. When a substitute clan becomes the head of another clan, the power of the head is reduced for at least 50 years…]

He held up the thick book of rules he had summoned and answered urgently in a trembling voice.

[During the period of restrictions, the Noble Phantasms that can be taken out of the occupied clan’s warehouse are limited to Epic grade.]

“…Speak quickly.”

Namgung said as he punched Gyu Ryu’s forehead.

[ha ha ha. I’m sorry.]

“Hmm… somehow. “I need this to catch him… Is there any way to get it?”

Namgung spoke while fiddling with the ancient seed he was holding.

-It’s not that there is no way.

At that moment, the queen, who had been listening to their conversation, came forward.

-The reason for imposing a time limit on using the weapons and abilities of the occupied clan is to prevent the Octagon War from leaning too quickly to one side.

“It’s a troublesome rule, but I can understand it.”

Like the seeds held by Namgung and the World Tree staff of the Fairies, each of the proxy clans had legendary-level Noble Phantasms.

Not only that, but the rest of the treasures were also powerful things that could change the outcome of a war depending on how they were used.

A rule established by the greats to prevent the Octagon War from being easily ended. The reason may be the reward that the winner of the war receives.

‘The winner of the Octagon War can be promoted to status. In other words, they probably don’t want to share their food bowls.’

For the Aspects, it would be better for the Octagon War to continue for a long time without a winner.

It was truly an act more human than human.

“Then what is the way?”

– When two or more clans are occupied, it proves the clan’s strength and the restriction period is nullified as a reward.

“Hmm…”

The queen said as if she had been waiting.

-If you need seeds to capture the fourth door boss, you must capture one more representative clan. How do you feel? After all, capturing the Naga clan…

“I don’t think there’s any need for that.”

-…yes?

“Don’t be silly. You probably know this too. “That’s not the only way.”

Namgung grabbed the queen’s small chin with his fingers and brought it close to his face.

-What are you talking about?…

The queen’s voice trembled.

It was clear that nine times out of ten, she actually knew what Namgung was going to say.

“The lake definitely accepts it.”

Namgung looked at her.

“Hand over the fairies instead.”

* * *

“The coffee you ordered has arrived.”

Namgung, who returned from the world of giants, was now at a cafe in Seoul Station.

Somin had not yet returned from the fairy world and the rest of the team was in the red zone, so he was alone and looking at his phone while waiting for someone.

-Establishment of the World Alliance Nest!!

-The location of the coalition headquarters is set in London, England…

-A large gathering of talented people, led by Alek Traman and under the support of the saint Aira Michel!!

-British authorities announced that they would join forces with countries around the world and prioritize the safety of citizens…!!

“…Huh? Do you see this bastard?”

Namgoong burst into laughter as he watched the breaking news buzzing not only on the Internet but also in various media outlets.

“Nest was founded in England? “Alec, I definitely warned you…”

However, there was no feeling of being offended or absurd in his laughter as he read the article.

“You ended up doing something while I was away.”

Rather, Namgoong reacted as if he had expected it.

Tap… tap… tap-

The beeping sound stopped.

“Damn it.”

He called several times, but Namgung clicked his tongue when the ring tone stopped.

‘Alec Traman. I don’t care if you lose or not. I just don’t want something terrible to happen because of your petty greed for fame.’

-It’s currently 9:30. The arriving KTX train bound for Seoul is coming in…

I heard an announcement. Namgoong drank the coffee in his cup in one go, as if it wasn’t even hot.

“It’s here.”

Namgoong left the cafe and went down to the platform and shouted at one of the passengers getting off the train.

“older brother.”

“okay. “I had a hard time coming.”

The man who bowed to Namgung was none other than Kim Chang-hwan, the sniper who helped him in Pohang.

“What about the other kids?”

“In the red zone. It’s summoner night. We’ll get summoned animals and everyone will return. Now that I think about it, why didn’t you go to the red zone?”

“Because it’s easier to move alone.”

“It would still be nice to have it.”

“Because it is better to hide completely without needing protection than to be protected by summoned beasts.”

“That’s your answer. “Summoner’s Night continues anyway, so it’s okay to go there if you think it’s necessary.”

Namgung nodded at Changhwan’s answer.

“But what’s going on? “I was planning to come up only after organizing the unit, but you called me in a hurry.”

“You know I’m Jin Soo-hyuk, right?”

For a moment, Changhwan’s expression hardened.

“Jin Soo-hyuk? Are you really talking about that crazy dog who used to be an intelligence officer?”

In Namgung’s memory, he simply remained as a person with the nickname Armament Gong, but for Changhwan, it was a bit different.

“I know. “Do you know how much trouble that bastard was going through after 711 was disbanded?”

“know. I heard that from Park Hyo-joo. “I took responsibility for dismantling you and fell for you, right?”

“…Damn it. Why is it because of me that 711 was disbanded? Isn’t it because of what happened that day? “Isn’t that right?”

“I feel sorry for you.”

Namgung answered with a slightly bitter expression, as if he didn’t want to remember the day Changhwan was talking about.

“This is all because my brother disappeared. “I can’t kill that bastard because I don’t have an order from you.”

“…Is there something strange about this point?”

“Anyway, thinking about it makes me angry. I heard you only kept in contact with Myung-Hoon hyung? Well, apart from our disbandment, I know very well that it was because of my sister-in-law that my brother went diving, but…”

Changhwan said, rubbing the bridge of his nose as if he were embarrassed.

“But why don’t you take care of your remaining younger siblings? “I waited.”

Namgung smiled bitterly at his words.

“But what happened to that bastard out of nowhere?”

“I have a favor to ask you.”

“Well, I don’t think he’s a great person who would listen to anyone’s favor because he’s a tight-lipped guy…”

“It’s a matter where people’s lives depend.”

Namgoong spread his fingers.

“70 million.”

“…yes?”

“This is the population of England.”

Changhwan looked at him as if asking what he meant.

“Everyone will die.”

“…?!!”

When the fourth gate of hell opened, Nest was not created, but Alek Traman, who was praised as the savior of mankind, became the target of the boss along with his followers.

The results were disastrous.

Total annihilation.

That wasn’t all.

Britain, which had become the battlefield, completely disappeared from the map, and only Alec Traman survived by barely escaping.

That’s what mankind named the events of that day that they didn’t want to remember.

‘London’s Nightmare’.

Gwaak-

Namgung clenched his fists.
