Episode 151
“I don’t know what you’re talking about… Have we finished the carnival? You’re asking the obvious. “Otherwise, there’s no way you wouldn’t know about status and monsters.”
The elder asked Namgung back. However, Namgoong still had an uncertain expression.
“Your information is too insufficient for that.”
“what?”
“No matter how deadly the basilisk’s poison is, those who have completed the carnival will be able to crush it regardless of its weaknesses.”
Namgung pointed to the fallen corpse of the monster and said.
“But instead of properly understanding its weaknesses, they hunted it using dangerous thods. Why? Because there is no need to find weaknesses? “No.”
Kuga’s shoulders flinched at his words.
“When hunting salamanders, the hunters’ movents were systematic and they accurately targeted weak points. That would an that even though there were enough weaknesses to be found, they didn’t do it. why?”
The elders made no reply.
“I guess it’s because I’m afraid of basilisks. But if you think about it that way, it’s strange again. The person who finished the carnival is only afraid of the basilisk. “At most, he is the boss monster of the 15th Gate of Hell.”
Considering the masters of the more than 20 hell gates that Namgung had encountered, the Basilisk was strong, but not so strong that it could not be caught.
What’s more, people who passed through the gates of hell twice as large as him were only plagued by basilisks…
No matter how much he thought about it, it couldn’t help but be a strange thing.
“Wu (无) told . “I have been through more than 20 hell gates, but they are only half of the carnival at best.”
“2 All 20 doors?”
At that mont, Kuga covered his mouth with both hands at the words he had spoken without realizing it.
“…every?”
But there was no way Namgung could have missed that.
“Why does the word ‘everyone’ appear there?”
“Oh no… nothing.”
“I don’t like your expression very much to say ‘nothing’. It would be better to be honest. “If you really want my help.”
Kuga glanced at the elders.
The elders sighed softly as they saw him fidgeting, not knowing what to do.
“…co in.”
Namgung gave a glance to the others to look around and walked slowly.

“Can you hear ? It doesn’t taste that good, but it warms you up. “It will help with blood circulation.”
“It will be especially effective for those who are in the strong stage like you.”
When we passed through the swamp and climbed to the top of Aksan Mountain, there was a small cave there.
There was a brazier in the cave, and the elder handed Namgung so dark red tea boiling on it.
“Even if it’s good for your health, you can’t drink it if you don’t have faith. “I will listen to the story first and then think about it.”
“That is correct.”
Seeing Namgung putting down his teacup, the elder nodded with a wry smile.
“There are unusual forces at your side. Can you call them out? “I’d like to talk to them too.”
“It’s not difficult.”
Grumbling…!!
As Namgung increased his power, the nas of the unknown and the demon king appeared.
Unlike the Demon King, who was in deep darkness like a soul soldier, the naless was in a hazy form because it was the heroic spirit itself that lent its power to him.
“Hmm indeed. It looks like he has ties to the Yasha clan, as he uses blood vessel techniques. “Is that heroic spirit a relative?”
“that’s right. “He helped learn the art of blood vessels.”
[It is said to be an unknown mber of the Yasha clan.]
“It is only at the lecture stage, but although it is vague, it is not only capable of summoning heroic spirits, but also has consciousness… Indeed….” When
the elders heard the anonymous voice, they looked at each other with surprised expressions. We started having a conversation.’
‘what? These humans. ‘If they’re too absorbed in themselves…’
Namgung looked at them with a slight frown as he didn’t understand their attitude.
“Besides, look this way. You made a soul contract with the Demon King. This is sothing we cannot do…”
“This is separate from the ability to return. “It seems like my constitution itself is sensitive to necromancy.”
“Maybe I can use that.”
“Hmm… I guess that’s also why Lathea tested the author and sent it to us, right?”
“It’s not easy to make a decision. Giving it to an outsider is itself breaking the existing tradition.”
“But now you know. “It’s a ti-honored treasure, but in the end it’s sothing we can’t use.”
Namgung looked at them.
“What on earth are you talking about? If they called soone here, they should give an answer, but they are talking among themselves…”
Snap –
that was the ti.
One of the three elders brought sothing from inside the cave.
“…What is this?”
Inside the box was an old dagger.
“This is the reward our clan received after finishing the carnival. Have you ever seen anything about this?”
Charring –
Namgung took out the dagger from the box and pulled it out of the scabbard.
The blade was pulled out with a cheerful sound, and despite its worn appearance, the blade was very well sharpened.
“This is…”
It was the first dagger Namgung had ever seen.
But he was surprised for another reason.
Numbering 8-1.
Na: Lord Leoric’s Dagger
Grade: Legendary (First)
▶ The dagger of the greatest and most arrogant king in history.
▶ You can gain great power, but in order to use that power, you must pay the price for your arrogance.
▶ His desire to kill God is on the edge of his sword, but it is currently sealed.
▶ If you collect all three parts along with Leoric’s helt, you can gain powerful strength.
“…There is a numbering.”
What was more surprising to him than finding one of the accessories was that it had a numbering written on it that did not appear when he acquired the [Earth Dragon Jewel].
“There is only one in the entire dinsion.”
The elder answered as if he had read Namgung’s expression.
“Why is this here?”
“It’s actually weirder not to be here. King Leoric was the head of our Yoran clan.”
“…!!!”
Namgung couldn’t help but be surprised by the elders’ words.
“Leoric was your king?”
“okay. “Do you know him?”
“I know.”
When Namgung passed the Revelator’s test, he gave up his initial advantage and chose [Lord Leoric’s Helt], which he could not use.
That’s how important it was to Namgung to complete Leoric’s weapon.
There was one reason.
For the one soul soldier who made a contract with him in his past life.
Because that soul soldier was none other than Leoric.
“This is…·.”
Tung-
“I was preparing to summon him.”
Namgung said as he took out the helt from the platform and placed it in front of them.
“Could it be… his soul remains in your dinsion?”
“I can’t believe it…”
The mont the elders saw the helt, they looked at it with awe in their eyes.
“I understand why Yor said he didn’t know about him. “I didn’t even know that he was from another dinsion.”
“Have you ever t him?”
“of course. Because he made a contract with in a past life. It’s a long explanation, but I wasn’t a revelator from the beginning. “Thanks to eting him, I was able to hunt down all the demons and return.”
Namgoong recalled his last appearance before leaving his previous life.
Although they could not speak, the two had been together for a long ti and were able to understand each other’s intentions without talking.
He told this to Namgung before returning.
He said to get his helt that remains in the Three Dogs Gate.
“After the Revelator’s Trial, when I received the helt as a reward, I asked Yor about Leoric. He didn’t know about Leoric. “I was just listening because I was from another dinsion.”
At that ti, Namgung was curious, but he didn’t bother to ask.
Leoric’s presence was important in his return, and there was no need to inform Yor of his card.
“But Leoric definitely existed in my dinsion. Because I signed a contract with him. But the strange thing is that the Aspects are unaware of his existence… Is that possible?”
“It’s not impossible. Because Leoric is special.”
“Our dinsion is much further back than your ti. “The phases are also probably the phases of previous generations that are older than the current phase.”
“Due to the incident with the previous phases, Leoric’s existence disappeared.”
“Live? He made a contract with ? “I don’t know what that ans.”
Namgung frowned.
“You asked us if we were done with the carnival? To be honest, what you say is half right and half wrong.”
“What does that an?”
“We have definitely finished the carnival. “It’s just that the carnival we finished and the carnival you are doing now are different.”
Namgung tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what he was saying.
“The number of carnival doors open in each dinsion is different. “The number of inquiries we have experienced is only 20.”
Namgung frowned at his words.
“what? Only 20? That ans the carnival is over with far fewer doors open than we did.”
The elder’s words were absurd, but looking at their expressions, they did not seem false.
“I understand that it is weak to Basilisk… It is a monster from the 15th Gate of Hell, so it is quite a high-level monster from your perspective.”
“That’s true, but the Basilisk is the monster that killed the most clans among the monsters that ca out of the 20 gates.”
“If I rember correctly… the last monster, the sandworm, should be much stronger?”
“After the 15th door, the remaining 5 doors were not difficult for us.”
“Why?”
“Leoric’s coming-of-age ceremony is over. “The Yoran clan realizes all their qualities as soon as they beco adults.”
“He was a true king. “We annihilated all the remaining gate monsters and went on to fight for the throne.”
The elders seed filled with awe just thinking of his na.
“If it were his ability, he would have been able to ascend to the throne.”
“however?”
The elders put dicinal herbs in sothing that looked like a gombangdae, lit it on fire, and took a big inhale.
With a deep sigh, a pungent sll began to spread within the cave.
“Leoric was not satisfied. “I wanted to save all my family mbers who were sacrificed in the carnival.”
“It’s natural for a leader to do sothing for his dead family. “What does that matter?”
“It’s not just the Yoran clan.”
“…what?”
“He wanted to save not only our dinsion but also the clans of other dinsions who participated in the carnival.”
“Of course his words were ignored. Nevertheless, Leoric did not give up.”
The elders spoke carefully to Namgung.
“And he decided. “I want to gain more power than just being a human king.”
“No way…”
“Yes. He aid for a position of stature.”
“No matter how great his power was, it was reckless to challenge a god.”
“His revolt made the Aspects uncomfortable, and as a result they locked us in the tower.”
“All the clans from other dinsions who sympathized with Leoric were trapped here.”
“Did you ask why we didn’t accept the quest Top gave us?”
Gwaak –
The elder’s wrinkled hands tightened.
“That is natural.”
“Because it is unacceptable.”
There was cold anger in their voices.
“This is definitely a prison where those who were defeated by the Sangha are imprisoned…”
“On the other hand, it is also the only place where those who rebelled against the Sangha are gathered.”
Uuuuung….
At that mont, the dagger trembled as if answering their words.
