The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 125

“Where shall we go? “It might be difficult to get to Egypt by car.”

“Damascus. Let’s go to the capital first. “You’ll find a transport book there.”

“Would it be okay? ISR must already be occupying most of the city… Entry is entry, but I don’t know if there are any people alive.”

Although she said so, there was no fear on Park Hyo-joo’s face.

As Namgung said, ironically, beings like terrorists and criminals were now very common problems for her, who had experienced war with tens of thousands of demons.

“Have you heard of Dice?”

“I know. “Isn’t he a legendary intelligence merchant?”

“that’s right.”

“If you are an informant, you should definitely know this person. The National Intelligence Service also tried to contact us several times, but failed.”

Park Hyo-joo looked at Namgung with a surprised face.

“No way… do you know?”

“I don’t know if he is there, but one of the nests he made is there. “I’ll be able to contact you when I get there.”

“all right.”

She gripped the steering wheel tightly with a shocked expression.

“Now… wait!!!!”

It was then.

Mustafa, who was in the house, hurriedly ran towards the two people.

Clap-clack-clack-

he pulled the handle of the car, but it was already locked and could not be opened, so he looked at Namgung with a puzzled expression.

“Please take me with you!! It’s too dangerous here!! “You never know when the ISR will strike.”

“I think the business is done? “How can I trust a guy who brings up his dead father and doesn’t even tell me why he approached me?”

“That…”

But despite Namgung’s question, Mustafa still could not answer.

“If it’s urgent, you can at least teleport. “They brought us all the way from Korea, so going back alone would be a piece of cake.”

Mustafa’s complexion became darker.

“…I can’t.”

“what?”

“I can’t. As you may have seen before, my ability is to manipulate spiders. “Nothing more, nothing less.”

Namgung frowned slightly at his words.

“Then what brought us here?”

“It was written on a scroll. It’s one of the carnival items. I said that the better your abilities, the easier it will be to deceive you. “My father was a shaman who could not even be compared to someone like me.”

“Did Kiman Jan order it?”

“….”

Mustafa could not answer.

“You just wasted a useless head. I can’t believe I could win favor with just such a trick. “No matter how many of those things you use, you won’t even reach the tip of the bargain.”

“…I know.”

Click

and the car door opened.

“I’m not talking about the level of witchcraft.”

“…yes?”

“It’s a question of sincerity. “Wagen gave us information to punish ISR.”

“Thanks to that, you were stripped of your position at the Golden Bough. “All my father gained from helping you was the disgrace of being a traitor.”

“so?”

“That’s why.”

In response to Namgung’s confident question, Mustafa said with a puzzled expression.

“Have you ever thought about why your father helped us while suffering such disgrace?”

“….”

“I would have definitely told you. When it comes to truth. Rather be honest. “I did this not to remove my father’s dishonor, but because I wanted to remain attached to the Golden Bough.”

“What do you know…!!”

“okay. I do not know. “How you lived.”

Namgung said to him.

“But from now on, I can show you what kind of guys the Golden Bough are.”

He pointed to the open car door.

“get on.”

* * *

“…what? Namgoong didn’t contact you at all? okay. “I’ll see you there.”

Alec Traman hung up the phone and sighed with a bewildered expression.

“What on earth is that person thinking? “Even though I went all the way there and gave him a hint…”

The moment he contacted Aira Michel, he naturally thought that Namgung would intervene.

However, the three people’s transaction continued very naturally, and since Namgung has not responded in any way to this day, he is the one who becomes impatient.

“Why are you worried about him? Even though Namgung is strong, it is impossible to defeat all seven Revelers.”

Hanson asked as if he didn’t understand, looking at Alec who was worried.

“Have you decided to stand by his side?”

“It’s not like that. “Hanson, who do you think I should fall under?”

“What if that’s not the case? Why are you trying to help him?”

“I thought I’d try pretending to be a real hero one last time.”

“…what?”

Alec said in an annoyed voice.

“Once a holy relic is completed, you can summon a temple that can receive the power of the phase. That is the mission given to the Revelators.”

“Hmm… That’s why everyone is trying so hard to complete the holy relic.”

“But the Revelators have another mission beyond that. “When the Holy Relic is completed, if you sacrifice one of the Revelators, you can summon all six remaining temples.”

“….”

Hanson was reluctant to answer his words.

“Now I understand why Aira Michel is taking turns meeting the Revelators. “She… is trying to sacrifice Namgung?”

“that’s right.”

“Hmm… To be honest, it’s not a bad choice. He’s too strong. It’s not at a level we can deal with. At this point…”

“Hanson. If you are a Revelator, which do you think is better: eliminating Namgung or summoning a temple of six Revelators?”

“Of course it’s the latter. Namgoong is truly something outside of the norm. “Except for him, the rest of the Revelators are ultimately on the same level even if they all summon the Holy War.”

“Then which is more beneficial to humanity: the latter or Namgung surviving and being able to summon the six temples?”

“That’s it…”

Hanson could tell what Alec was trying to say.

“If the sacred relics of the seven snakes that Roxanne possesses are given to Eira, Namgung will never be able to complete the temple. “She’s hesitating to answer right now, but…”

Alec smiled bitterly at him.

“No matter how much she favors Namgung, she is also a revealer. “You don’t want to miss the opportunity to strengthen your phase power.”

“So… what do you want to say now? “I hope that’s not what I think.”

“Our part in the pantheon will be to obtain the seven serpent relics from Roxanne.”

“Damn…”

Hanson sighed.

bang-!

At that moment, the door to the room opened roughly.

“Don’t talk nonsense. “Are you pretending to be the hero you spoke of by giving sacred items to Namgung and becoming a sacrifice yourself?”

Alec looked at Johanna coming in with a very angry face.

“I was wondering where you went without saying anything… I guess you’re going to meet Namgung alone, now what? You want to become a sacrifice? Alec. You are not ready to become a hero. “Live according to the theme.”

“Didn’t you want me to be on Namgung’s side?”

“It did. I understand because he died and came back to life. What’s important? “He’s not trying to satisfy his greed like you or the other revelers, but at least he’s fighting to survive.”

Johanna made a bitter expression.

“Well, it was the same for me too. “Because I tried to taste power by staying next to the Revelator.”

“That’s why I’m trying to follow your wishes this time.”

Quang–!!!!

Johanna slammed the desk he was sitting on.

“What do I mean? Are you saying it’s my will for you to die? “I told you to help Namgung, but I never said that I don’t need you in the future I’m going to!”

With those words, she nervously left the room.

“….”

Alec looked at the door she left with a blank expression at what happened so quickly.

“I knew it would be like this. Alec, you know. “Johanna has been thinking of you as special for a long time.”

Hanson laughed as he looked at him sitting in front of the desk that had been torn in half.

“Otherwise I wouldn’t have participated in your ridiculous plan.”

“…It’s not easy to become a hero.”

Alec smiled bitterly as he listened to his words.

“It’s not easy. So take the easy way. “There’s a saying like that, right?”

Hanson said to him as he moved the fully automatic wheelchair.

“It’s easy to give up… la.”

Alec pondered his words bitterly.

* * *

“Shall we… give up?”

Park Hyo-joo, who was heading to Damascus, couldn’t help but be surprised when she heard from Namgung that Alec had come to visit her.

‘At this point, Incheon Airport is closed and all other airports have also finished deploying troops… How on earth did they get in?’

But soon, looking at Mustafa sleeping behind him, I realized that such questions were meaningless.

“give up? “I won’t do it.”

“Hmm… So are you really saying that Alek Traman will bring the holy relics of the Seven Serpents?”

“Not really.”

“…yes?”

Park Hyo-joo frowned and looked at Namgung’s strange answer.

“We might be able to take the holy relic from Roxanne. But he will never be sacrificed. Alek Traman kills himself?”

Namgung chuckled.

“It might be quicker for the status to give up the carnival.”

“But why did you say that to him? “Do you want to bother me?”

“huh.”

“….”

Park Hyo-joo, whose expression was even more distorted than when she answered just a moment ago, looked at him with eyes full of things to say.

“Alek Traman is like a big child. “You could call it pure, but it ended up having too much power compared to that purity.”

Namgoong said, leaning more on the sheet.

“If that innocence flows in a crooked direction, it can become uncontrollable.”

“So… you’re saying you were testing him?”

“A nice ending to die would be the hero he dreamed of, but he wouldn’t be able to die because of his small size. Do you know what a child does when he can’t do this or that?”

“well?”

“Let’s ask an adult to decide.”

Namgung said calmly.

“He will come to me. I will bring the sacred relics of the Seven Serpents before me and bury them. “Now I want you to decide your own life.”

“Ah… Still, you entrust your life to someone else?”

“We’ll see. Wake me up when we get halfway. “I’ll give you a shift.”

“Uhm, I understand.”

Park Hyo-joo nodded as she looked at Namgoong crossing his arms and closing his eyes.

‘Honestly, if Alek Traman brings the holy relic as he says, there will be absolutely no loss on our part.’

No, rather, it was not a loss, but something to be welcomed. Honestly, he was the strongest among the remaining Revelators except Namgung.

“No.”

At that moment, the conversation she had with Namgoong the other day came to Park Hyo-joo’s mind.

‘You said that Alek Traman may have been abandoned by his superiors. So, that means the Revelator may have lost his power… Could it be that he, weakened, can take the holy relics from the Revelators?’

“…uh?”

It was then.

“If he lost the power of the Revelator… doesn’t that mean he’s not a Revelator?”

She opened her eyes wide.

“then… Does this mean I no longer have the qualifications to become a sacrifice?”

flinch –

‘No way…?’

She trembled slightly at the creepy thought she had unconsciously had.

Buuuuuung-!!

She sped up the car as she looked at Namgoong, who was sleeping peacefully in a battlefield where it was not surprising if shells flew at any time.
