Chapter 121

Episode 121

Uuuuuung…!!!

Light began to emanate from within the lake.

“What is that?”

Den looked at Namgung and asked at the sudden change in the lake.

“Hmm, that one is really expensive. “It looks like they gathered all their heads together.”

The reason it was dyed with five-colored light was because of the feather of return used by Eira in the water.

Although there was a condition that it could only be used inside the dungeon, it was a movement item that could return to a designated location.

“Why are you keeping me alive? “What are you going to do if she runs away like that and actually completes the holy relic?”

“If we kill it right now, we can’t use it as a sacrifice.”

“But even if she is the first to complete the holy relic, she still can’t use it as a sacrifice.”

Den looked at Namgoong’s calm appearance with trembling eyes, as if he was rather anxious.

“…What are you going to do if there is a sacred relic of Mother Breeze in there?”

“Well, that could be possible.”

“Then you really shouldn’t let me run away.”

▶ 16 sacred relics appeared in the world.

▶ All participants must complete a pair of relics to summon the Temple of Aspect.

▶ The status of the summoned temple will lend strength to future carnival participants.

“Ah…”

However, Den let out a low exclamation at the sound of a notification heard as soon as the light pouring from under the lake disappeared.

“Just because you get one first doesn’t guarantee you will complete it first.”

However, unlike Den who was worried, Namgung spoke with his arms crossed as if he was waiting.

“I don’t know why you make such a risky choice. “You were expecting me to trick you, right?”

“that’s right.”

Den seemed like he had nothing to say in response.

“Thank you for giving me your ice heart in such a situation.”

“There is nothing free in this world. “The reason I gave it to you was because it meant paying for food.”

Namgung looked at him.

“It goes without saying, but I will win the pantheon. “I will complete the holy relic before anyone else.”

“…You mean that I should help you.”

“that’s right. “It also means giving up sacred objects.”

As Den, who received the heart of ice, it was difficult to refuse what he said, but there was one thing that worried him.

“The Wanderer of the Four Seasons will not allow it easily.”

And as if he had expected that, Namgung said to him:

“He must have known by now that this was planned by Mipoong’s mother, so he must have been very angry. In that situation, if you say you’re going to give up the pantheon….”

“It’s going to be an uproar. Still, I will try my best to persuade you.”

“The Revelator persuades the Sangha? “I’m thinking about something wrong.”

Namgung chuckled at Den’s words.

“In fact, it should be the opposite. “Because they are not people who will benefit from persuasion.”

“…yes?”

“Criticize me for not noticing that Breeze’s mother was acting up. In the end, he embarrassed his revealer. “Put down your status and reprimand me.”

“But…”

Den stuttered, as if embarrassed by his words.

“So rip it off. “The price for a mistake of stature.”

“…is it always like this?”

The status is God.

Den had nothing to say since he was talking about someone who would rip off a being that no one would dare to disobey.

“Listen carefully. The colleagues I was with until now are no longer there. Well, it’s funny to even call us colleagues in the first place… but now we’re really just taking and stealing.”

Namgung looked at the people.

“A lot of commotion has probably started by now. Erika Ninagawa, who can predict the future, would have moved early, and the remaining Revelers will also quickly find the sacred dungeon.”

When the Pantheon begins, 15 dungeons are neutralized for a certain period of time while the relics are stored.

The short period of time in which all monsters and traps disappeared from the dungeon was an opportunity for even ordinary people, not those with abilities, to steal the holy relics.

There were probably people who were looking for an opportunity to make a fortune through holy relics, so it could not be said that holy relics were a competition only for revelers.

“There will probably be more casualties from humans chasing holy relics than from the monsters that have poured out so far.”

“What should I do?”

Den said to Namgung.

He seemed to have already made up his mind.

“If I’m right, you should now be able to open the second page of the Book of Leah.”

“That’s right.”

“good. Then start learning magic now. “That’s what you have to do.”

“Are you okay with that?”

“You will find out automatically when you complete the third spell on the second page. “What should you do?”

Sigh….

After speaking, Den summoned a thick magic book that glowed with five-colored lights as he watched Namgung’s back as he walked towards the exit of Seolgwisan Mountain.

“This is…”

And the moment he saw it, his eyes widened and he shouted at Namgung.

“Are you serious?!”

* * *

Kuggggggg… Kuggeuk…!!!

An earthquake suddenly occurred late at night, and people in the barracks rushed out.

“Hwanseongul Cave is collapsing…?”

Myung-Hoon opened his eyes round as he saw the entrance of the cave shaking and gradually cracking.

However, his surprise was short-lived as he hurriedly shouted to the commander of the corps stationed there.

“Pull back your troops!! I think the impact will be bigger than expected. There may be an external intrusion, so please remain alert!”

While the commander nodded and pushed the troops back, Hojun, Somin, and Jeon Taeho held their respective weapons and paid attention to the changes in the cave.

“It looks like your brother was successful.”

“huh. Actually, it was only a matter of time. “Because I didn’t think I would fail.”

“Now it’s our turn.”

Coogggggggg…!!!!

The entrance to the cave has completely collapsed.

And the moment the alarm rang, the area where the cave was located became transparent, as if it had never existed from the beginning, and a small statue appeared inside it.

“Oh is that it?”

“First, let’s start with retrieving the sacred items. According to what you said, there will be people targeting that.”

Myung-Hoon said.

“Hojun will follow me, and Taeho and Somin will guard the cave entrance.”

“I understand.”

“huh!!”

The two people moved under Myung-Hoon’s quick command, and after confirming that they had settled down, Myeong-Hoon entered the cave with Ho-Jun. The

oysters

that became transparent were like jelly. Once inside, Hojun looked around curiously.

▶ I entered Hwanseongul Cave.

▶ Holy ground conversion is being applied within the dungeon.

▶ The dungeon will be restored in about 2 minutes.

“Making it a sacred place? Are you saying it has become this transparent now? “If all dungeons really changed like this, it would be completely worthless.”

“I’m not going to like it. “If the dungeon is restored after two minutes, it means that the dungeon will collapse.”

“Don’t worry. “It looks weird over there.”

The two walked faster, but they didn’t feel anxious.

This is because the interior of the cave became transparent, so the sacred relics were visible to the naked eye.

“Then I will go first.”

Percussion-!!

Kang Ho-jun jumped into the basement of the cave.

Boom! Boom! Tootong!! Wow…!!

Hojun stepped down the wall of a hole dug dozens of meters deep from side to side and arrived in front of a small wooden statue in front of him.

“Hmm, for a holy relic, it’s simple.”

He looked at a small statue about 30cm long.

[Unconfirmed full body image]

▶ A phase relic whose identity is unknown.

▶ When a pair is completed, the power of the phase can be summoned.

▶ Appraisal procedures are necessary.

“I secured it…”

Ho-jun stretched out his hand toward the statue.

Ssssssssssssssss–!!

It was then.

Just before the statue touched his hand, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“…!!!”

Kwahia Ah — !!!

Reflexively, he swung his foot in the right direction.

With a loud roar and a heavy feeling from the soles of his feet, Ho-jun took out the tonfa he was wearing on his waist and swung it without giving him a chance.

bang! bang!! Quagga River!!!

A strike that continues left and right.

While his attacks continued without stopping, Myung-Hoon came down to the basement.

“older brother!!!”

When Ho-jun shouted, Myung-hoon, as if no further explanation was needed, drew his sword toward the invisible opponent.

Slurring-!!!

The sword taken out of the scabbard did not look as smooth as the [Baekcheon Ganggeom], but the spirit felt from the sword was much more overwhelming than the previous sword.

Numbering 445.

Name: Yasha Hwando

Grade: Rare (highest)

▶ A sword used by elites of the Yasha clan.

▶ Although it has no special effects, it boasts exceptional durability among weapons of its class.

▶ The harder it is, the heavier the attack becomes.

▶ The holder is recognized as a member of the Yasha clan and can receive help from the clan.

Cooung- Boom! bang!! Kwaaaaaaa!!!

The muscles on the arm holding the sword became thick as if they were bulging, and each time it struck, a heavy sound rang out that could not even be compared to Hojun’s attack.

‘You’re faster.’

Ho-Jun thought while looking at Myung-Hoon.

The weight of the Yasha Hwando is so heavy that it cannot be called a sword, so much so that it is difficult to hold it with both hands.

Because he had borrowed a sword and swung it, he knew better than anyone else how much it weighed.

‘Indeed…’

It was absolutely impossible to do with strength alone.

However, Myung-Hoon was swinging the sword faster by using the weight of the sword, so Ho-Jun could not help but admire his technique.

Since his days as a member of the unit, he always had a cool look and did not stand out, but he was always in the top 2 among the so-called elite.

Hojun

watched his swordsmanship and strengthened the hand holding the tonfa.

What was the trigger?

After the Demon War in Daejeon, which was a large-scale battle, Myeong-Hoon grew so quickly that he could not keep up.

“Aren’t we on the same side?”

Kwasik-!!

Myung-Hoon pressed his sword against the wall and spoke toward the empty space in front of him.

“….”

Then, to his surprise, his front, which had been blank, turned blurry and a human image appeared.

“I don’t know when Biwol became a petty thief, but he can never take this.”

Although his face was covered with a mask, Myung-Hoon was able to tell his identity just by his momentum.

“well.”

Kwaang-!!!

But at that moment, Myung-Hoon was thrown backwards with a dizzying shock to his chest.

“Cough!!”

“older brother!!”

Myung-Hoon, who fell to the floor, glared at his opponent who kicked his chest as hard as he could.

“…Katsumata!!!”

However, Katsumata had already obtained the statue faster than Myeonghun’s shout.

“stop!!!!”

Ho-Jun ran towards him late, but before he knew it, his appearance disappeared in an instant, as if he was disappearing into the scenery.

“I’m sorry.”

Only the voice remained indistinct.

“Why on earth…”

Since he had once hunted the Serpent, the boss of the second gate, with Namgung, his appearance was a shock.

“…damn!!!”

When Hojun arrived at the spot, of course he had disappeared.

▶ Holy ground conversion has ended.

▶ The dungeon will be restored.

At the same time, the walls of the dungeon, which had been transparent like jelly, slowly returned to their original color and began to collapse.

* * *

-Currently, it is known that there are three sacred relics whose whereabouts have been confirmed, but it is not certain because governments in each country are reluctant to provide information.

-Riots broke out in Mexico City.

-The people who started the riots are the so-called ‘group of followers’ who are destroying any place they believe to be the location of the sacred relic.

-The group of followers is rapidly expanding around the world, and the government is deploying military units to suppress them…

-Other areas where riots occurred include Thailand, Syria, Ukraine, and Turkey….

“This is all my fault. I should have protected the sacred relic somehow… I’m sorry. older brother.”

Myung-Hoon sighed upon hearing the news of riots happening here and there.

“done. There’s no need to blame yourself. “Not only that, but all the sacred relics from various places have disappeared anyway.”

Namgung, who returned from Seolgwi Mountain, was surprisingly calm when he heard the report that the sacred relics had been stolen from Hwanseongul Cave.

But instead, his reaction made Myung-Hoon even more uncomfortable.

“You were expecting it to be taken away, right?”

“How did you feel about hanging out with this guy?”

“…It was strong. “Even if we go one-on-one again, I honestly don’t have any confidence in winning.”

“Oh, why are you losing? “That bastard shamelessly disappeared and hit me from behind.”

“Whether you attack from behind or forward, the game is lost once the sacred object is taken away.”

Ho-jun could not refute Myung-hoon’s attitude of admitting it so plainly.

“Then bring it back.”

“…yes?”

Namgung took out a note from his pocket and handed it to him.

“It is the location of Biwol.”

“Leader! Not this. You know better than anyone else what kind of guys Biwol are, right? Are you telling me to go see you and die?”

Changhwan shouted at his words.

“Why not? So you guys also think that Choi Myung-hoon will lose to Katsumata?”

“no. That’s not true… but there are probably a lot of other guys there besides Katsumata, right? “That’s what I mean…”

Changhwan mumbled his answer with a look of regret on his face.

“Are you not confident? Choi Myung-hoon.”

“….”

He stared at the note Namgung took out.

“Is this an order?”

As if he had made up his mind, he grabbed the note and said to Namgung.

“Oh sir…!! Then we will go together. 711 Isn’t it! Even if we die, we must live together even if we live and die together!!”

Hojun shouted to Namgung as he saw Myunghoon’s hand shaking as he held the note. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“You can’t do that.”

“why?”

“Because it doesn’t help.”

“….”

“You answered so clearly that I have nothing to say.”

Seeing Hojun with a blank expression, Changhwan muttered bitterly, licking his lips.

“Kim Chang-hwan. You must have seen it too. The raiders who participated with us at Seolgwisan Mountain. Do you really think they are weaker than 711?”

Changhwan thought of the crew members who were controlled by Eira Michel. It was clear that the power team selected by the Pentagon had top-level skills.

▶ Shalum’s lightning totem has detected an intruder.

▶ Lightning condensation has begun.

▶ When you shout the starter word, the totem’s defense begins.

At that time, everyone turned their heads to the sound of a notification ringing inside the fortress.

“uh…?”

Hojun checked the person standing in front of the totem and looked at Namgung with a puzzled expression.

“So I called a guy who could be my best. As far as I know, he’s the best at using a sword.”

“That person…”

Myung-Hoon also looked at Namgung with a puzzled expression as he saw the man standing in front of the totem erected at the entrance of the fortress.

“The real order is to make his sword skills yours.”

“…!!!”

At his words, everyone looked at the person standing in front.

“Alec Traman.”

He was the owner of the Star Sea Sword.
