Chapter 440: Demon King’s Purpose (5)
“I’m sorry, but I ca here first, Necromancer!”
What he said was true. He got here first, so it wasn’t his fault that he hunted here first.
Sungwoo replied, “I know. I don’t want to pick a fight with you on that. But you don’t have to throw stones at us who got here late, right?”
Obviously, Gangsok deliberately dispatched angel champions and others to stand in the way of Sungwoo’s chase.
With an awkward expression, Gangsok said, “Um, I’m sorry for that. I guess I was in a hurry. But I didn’t an to kill you. Please understand . I thought you were strong enough to break through them and stand tall before like this.”
He didn’t an to kill ? Sungwoo could not understand what he was talking about.
‘Then what do you want?’
Sungwoo got curious again, so he asked, “That’s enough. Let’s be honest.”
“What do you an?” Gangsok retorted, tilting his head.
“If you’re not trying to fight , tell what the hell you’re trying to do.”
Sungwoo needed to make sure he should clearly find out his motivations.
He continued, “You have declared war on all players in the world. I am also the target. So, I don’t think you want to welco when you have already started the war, right?”
Gangsok nodded. Since he was responsible for starting the disaster quest, he could not ask Sungwoo to trust him.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
As soon as Gangsok said that, Isabella looked at him cynically as if she didn’t like their conversation, then let out a deep sigh.
“Keep it short. I can’t stand it long. If I’m upset, I’ll lt them all.”
Red flas were flickering in her mouth. Even though the flas were lingering inside her mouth, the temperature around their area was rising.
‘It’s definitely different.’
To be honest, Sungwoo wasn’t sure if he could withstand her breath. If he had to face it, the best policy would be to avoid it as much as possible.
“Yeah, I’ll have to explain why I’m doing this.”
Gangsok was lost in thought for a mont, then opened his mouth.
“You think it would be inappropriate for to say this, but it’s all for the sake of our world.”
After all, what he wanted to say was sothing like a great cause, which Sungwoo already expected. But he couldn’t believe it. Most of the plausible lies had so great cause.
Gangsok continued, “I’m going to be the World Eater to save this world. And I hope you can help .”
That’s not what Sungwoo wanted to hear from him.
“So, make it clear what you an by saving this world. How can I help you when I don’t know your purpose?”
Gangsok’s left eyebrow twitched. Obviously, his question hurt his pride.
However, Sungwoo went further, asking, “So, tell what the heck it is that only you know!”
Sungwoo thought that Gangsok knew about this world more clearly than anybody else.
Gangsok said, “Yeah, this ga is a disaster for us, but it’s literally a ga, so it’s only a plaything for sobody.”
Sungwoo could understand his point up to this point. But what Gangsok said next was incomprehensible.
“So, in order to save this world, we have to gain favor with those who caused this situation, right? I know who they are and how to gain favor. Do you understand?”
Sungwoo could not figure out what he ant by ‘knowing them.’
So he asked calmly, holding down the urge to get upset.
“How can I believe that? How did you know it, and what’s the evidence?”
“As for …”
He paused a bit, and sighed, then he continued, nodding, “This ga isn’t new to .”
Everyone was surprised by his words.
“What did he say?”
“Isn’t this ga new to him?”
In other words, was this ga the second ti for him?
“My hotown was already destroyed. You have already seen the Demon’s Cave, the world that t its final destruction. It’s not just one or two.”
Does it an that he ca from another world like World Eater? Was that the reason why he could get ahead of Sungwoo from the beginning?
Gangsok continued, “This is sothing I’ve experienced by myself, and it’s really true, but I have no idea how to prove it. So don’t ask anymore.”
“…”
“Necromancer, please trust and follow . I haven’t been able to stop the dood ending of this world no matter how hard I tried. But I think I can, this ti. But you should be with .”
Obviously, Gangsok was asking him a favor, but actually, his request was close to coercion. Sungwoo was embarrassed. He wondered whether he should believe Gangsok’s absurd statent.
At that mont sobody shouted all of a sudden.
“He’s a liar!”
“Uh?”
That voice ca from the passage leading to the ground behind his back.
There were the White Wolf, Black Lion, and about a dozen Special Commando mbers standing there.
“Necromancer! Don’t believe what he says! As you said, we searched for the unidentified airship and read the mories of the man buried there.”
“Ah.”
Gangsok let out a sigh, then chuckled.
“You an that guy with psychotric abilities?” he asked cynically.
“He just wants to use you to satisfy his desires!” shouted the White Wolf, who was walking toward Sungwoo, revealing the truth. “And that guy plans to destroy our world!”
Destruction of our world?
The White Wolf continued, “In return for destroying our world, he got reassurance from the creator of this ga that he would receive sothing.”
There was a brief silence.
The flow of air slowed down, stopped as if it got sticky, then began to tremble.
“…”
Isabella’s pupils widened and Jisu’s breathing stopped. Both sides looked at each other.
Sugnwoo grabbed the Grim Reaper and turned his head very slowly to face Gangsok again. This ti he looked different.
“Necromancer, aren’t those guys from the ‘Evolution Society’ that we fought together in Pyeongtaek? I hear that even when the Japanese server invaded us, they were on their side,” Gangsok said cynically as if he couldn’t believe it. “Can you believe what these crazy people say? Or do you trust who has fought with you and helped you a lot?”
At that mont Sungwoo scread before he knew it.
‘Ugh!’
Sothing felt hot inside his chest, which was the scales of the giant snake, Imoogi.
‘Is it a warning for ?’
His helper was sending out a warning to him. When he looked at Gangsok, he felt it was hotter than before.
‘This ans I should not trust Gangsok.’
To be honest, Sungwoo could not figure out which side he should trust.
Even the unidentified ‘helper’, who delivered ssages to him, along with a system error, controlled Sungwoo as he pleased, but didn’t actively persuade him not to trust Gangsok.
‘But at least this helper has the power to affect the system.’
The fact that his helper had the power to bring the system down was the basis of his claim to bring it down.
“Necromancer, let ask you once again. Who will you trust?”
Gangsok asked again, but Sungwoo let out a sigh and replied, “All I believe is what I can control with my hands.”
If he didn’t like the helper who delivered the ssage with the scales of Imoogi, Sungwoo could break his relationship at any ti. In other words, he could discard the scales and receive the ssage indirectly.
But what about this man?
“Really? Are you sure?” Gangsok asked in a frustrated voice. “Then you don’t trust , right?”
At that mont, a light flashed from his wand. A thick ray of light passed through Sungwoo and hit sothing behind his back.
Bang!
