The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 199

[War Hero…? It may sound grandiose, but in the end, it is human souls. Are they better than primordial spirits or elder dragons?]

Yor looked doubtful at Namgung’s words.

“Yes, if you look at each individual’s abilities, it will be difficult to surpass them no matter what soul you bring.”

[You know me well. But you remember, right? In any case, it is taboo to call out the spirits that exist in relics or ruins that remain in reality.]

He continued.

[Because among the legendary beings you call myths, there are also the status of ancestors.]

“I know. “The souls I will summon are absolutely those with human blood.”

[Human blood… Ah, I see. They are targeting your demigod.]

Yor nodded with a meaningful smile.

[Well… if it’s a demigod, it’s definitely not a taboo subject. The same goes for the Knight of the Labyrinth you just got.]

But for some reason, he spoke to Namgung with a slightly disappointed expression.

[But can I defeat my incarnations with just a Demigod?]

“I can take care of that. Anyway… I’ve received my reward, so let’s go back.”

[The level of soul ministry has reached the maximum, so the number of souls that can be ministered is probably 20. It won’t be possible to fill all of those vacant positions with demigods…]

Yor muttered in a low voice as he looked at Namgung’s back as he left the three-door gate.

[…I wonder what they will show me.]

[Aren’t you the same as me who can’t figure out what’s inside?]

That was that time.

A calm voice was heard in the quiet hall.

[It looks like he’s in a state of death because he’s coming inside the three doors at will.]

Yor said with a disapproving expression upon the appearance of the man in the black robe.

[You should worry about your Revelator, why did you come into someone else’s territory?]

[My Revelator is no different from having already been excluded from the carnival. [Because I unintentionally became more relaxed.]

When I took off the robe that was covering my face, I saw bright red and golden eyes.

Observer of the sun and moon.

He smiled with a bitter expression and looked at Yor.

[How did it end up like this… Alec Traman. He was the strongest candidate to win among the Revelators. Thanks to your candidacy, things have completely gone astray.]

[So are you abandoning the revealer and snooping around in someone else’s warehouse? If you don’t like it, change the revealer. As spineless as the breeze and the fire.]

He shook his head at Yor’s words.

[As you said, that is truly spineless. And no matter which revealer you choose… you won’t be able to beat your revealer.]

[Then why did you come here? As far as I know, you haven’t given the Revelator any help since the Star Sea Sword was broken.]

[Because that sword is for the Revelator. There is no need for me to help something that is broken by lending it to someone else.]

[The nickname ‘Onlooker’ is a good one. It suits you perfectly. You just do what’s convenient.]

[My Revelator, who I expected to bring victory in the carnival, is playing second fiddle to someone else’s Revelator… I can’t help it.]

He glared at Yor.

[So, why did you come all the way here?]

But Yor did not pay any attention to the look in his eyes and instead waved his hand as if he was annoyed and said.

[Are you really planning on making me take the test?]

[There’s nothing I can’t do. Because he is giving up the benefit and trying to gain an opportunity.]

[You know better than anyone else what it means to summon the Avatar at once?]

[You are indeed a wait-and-see. I heard you’re spying on me quite well.]

[…Do you even answer the questions I ask?]

[Of course, there’s no way you don’t know. Won’t the number of inquiries decrease? Actually, that’s what he wants. He must be a very abominable revealer. Click…]

[It’s not something to laugh about.]

The sun and moon observer sighed as if he was rather frustrated with Yor’s reaction.

[You probably know better than anyone else. The doors of the carnival are not simply meant to spit out monsters and kill participants.]

[….]

[Monsters are a by-product of pollution. Because it symbolizes the pollution created in the barrier that seals Ran and Wu.]

He continued speaking.

[If we do not continuously remove the contamination, their seal will be broken. The role of the door is to transform such pollution into monsters and spit them out.]

[Why do you have to come to me and tell me something you already know?]

[Damn it…!! The statement is a type of equivalent exchange. A decrease in the number of doors means that the time to maintain the seal of Ran and Wu is reduced!]

At Yor’s sour reaction, the observers of the sun and moon could not hold back their anger and eventually burst out in anger.

[Why don’t you tell him properly? He sees us as trash that plays with humans through the carnival.]

[Well, you’re not wrong, are you?]

[No, it’s not…!! Those who survive through the carnival will participate in a throne war to determine the winner. This isn’t just a joke for fun! It’s about raising a being to kill Ran and Wu!!]

[But those who survived the war tried to kill us, not Ran and Wu.]

The observer of the sun

and moon bit his lip in response to Yor’s answer.

[It was the same several times. Why do the surviving Revelators who received our power consistently side with Lan and Wu after the War of the Throne is over?]

That was also the reason why the tower was created.

[That’s right…!! I guess I’m falling for their trick!]

[Well. Maybe we are wrong. Sealing those who have existed since the beginning and maintaining them in the present.]

[What nonsense. You would know better than anyone else what would happen if Ran and Wu appeared in the world again.]

[Even so, if that were natural, then we, the superiors, were forcibly blocking it, right?]

Chuck –

The observer of the sun and moon stretched out his arms.

In his hand was a sword resembling the [Star Sea Sword]. As the tip of the sword pointed towards him, Yor looked down at him with a stern face.

[What does this mean now? You’re pointing the [Thousand Head Sword] at me.]

[That test. Give up. The speed of the carnival has already accelerated because of that damned returner, so you’re willing to speed it up even further?]

[You’re the one who left behind the perk of return. As a spectator, I pretended to help humans, so these people came out.]

[…You!!!!]

[Everyone, please stop.]

That was that time.

[…Leah.]

The observer of the sun and moon spoke with a stern expression to another character.

A wanderer of the four seasons.

As she took off her robe, a woman with curly brown hair looked at the two in turn.

[I can’t believe I go from one person to another to another…]

Yor shook his head at her appearance.

[Please put away your sword. You know very well that there’s no point in fighting among ourselves.]

[So you’re just going to watch him try to ruin this carnival?]

[That doesn’t give you the right to harm him. There is even no obligation.]

[Then what do you plan to do? If Namgung passes the test, by any chance, the six doors will disappear. Even though the power to maintain the seal between Ran and Wu is gone by that much?]

Leah looked at Yor.

I don’t know if it was because she was the god of magic, but her eyes, which had no discernable depth, were uncomfortable even for Yor.

[The door is ultimately nothing more than a temporary measure. In any case, in the end, the winner of the carnival will be decided and a war for the throne will have to take place.]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….

When Leah put her hands together, numerous beads appeared inside them and the carnival participants were seen there.

[What we need to do is not blame each other, but maintain the seal until then. There’s no way he didn’t know that, so he must have arranged it. Isn’t that right?]

[…Tch, boring guy.]

Yor pouted his lips at her.

[Because you love humans more than anyone else. You were the one who built the Tower of Wu, right?]

[Stop talking nonsense. Isn’t it natural? Even if they rebelled, they were once our followers.]

At her words, Yor clicked his tongue.

[We hope that whoever has the power to end the War of the Throne will not go against our will and will punish Ran and Wu. Now, I guess we have to put our hands together and pray.]

At Leah’s words, the two people said nothing more.

[What do you think of Nam Ki-cheol?]

[What does he mean?]

[He said that. You, in your past life, made a contract with his father.]

[You mean the old man who can open the black route?]

[That’s right. With that level of ability, he could surpass Namgung.] The

Sun and Moon Observer snorted at Yor’s question.

[I made a contract with him? Damn it… Looks like I’ve gone as far as I can.]

He sighed and frowned as if he was pathetic.

[done. The Revelator is still alive, so I’m not trash enough to change it.]

He turned his head as he sheathed his sword.

[But keep in mind. Because this time, I will destroy Ran and Wu.]

Grumble…

After the sun and moon observers disappeared, Leah lowered her shoulders as if she had relaxed.

[Please understand. You know why he hates the Primordial Phase so much.]

[Yes. Transferring memories is not always a good thing.]

Yor responded to her words in a low voice.

[Will he know how to use tears?]

[Well. I don’t know either. But before that, surviving the test comes first.]

[He hates us for holding the carnival. I know that, but the reason you chose him as a revealer is…]

[Hush.]

At that moment, Yor covered her mouth with his finger, leaving Leah unable to say anything.

It was because his eyes felt like they were going to eat me at any moment.

[Up to there. That’s enough to talk about later. Because I said it comes first whether he survives the test.]

[…I understand.]

She nodded.

[I also sometimes wonder if what we are doing is right… but I think it is wrong to hand the hilt of the sword to humans out of guilt.]

Before leaving the Three Dogs Gate, she spoke to Yor once again.

[It may not have been an arrangement, but a poison given.]

[The tears of the beginning of man]

It was the only tool that made it possible to kill a god.
