Episode 3
“Hey, you crazy guy. What are you gifting? Can’t you see what’s written there? right. like. do. uh? “Do you think there’s any friendship between you and since we t for the first ti today?”
Gyu-ryu, who was montarily dazed by Namgung speaking so confidently, shook his head and shouted.
“Besides, look at this. Wouldn’t you put a knife in your arm and break your nose? Should I give that as a gift to that guy? “Say sothing that makes sense.”
Gyu-ryu snorted.
“I don’t have any presents for you. “I don’t know what you’re thinking, but get the hell out of here!”
He tried to close the bag window.
bang-!!!
However, at that mont, the knife that Namgoong was holding was once again driven into the back of his hand.
“Ahh!! This is crazy!! “Three punishnt!!”
“You got it. gift.”
“okay. You bastard. I only received the knife you gave . Don’t you take this off? uh?!”
Gyu-ryu clenched his fists and shouted.
He felt like he wanted to throw it at Namgoong’s face right away, but he seed to be holding back and kept saying ‘Ah!!’ I just sighed.
“money. “You received it from regardless of its current value.”
“What do you get? “You gave it to unilaterally!”
“Even though it might save your life two years from now?”
“…what?”
In an instant, Gyu-ryu’s expression changed.
“I don’t like your clan. “I only ca because out of the eight clans that served as representatives, you seed like the one I could communicate with.”
Namgung looked at him with the knife still stuck.
“Now you know that I am a regressor. You may not know what is valuable and what is not valuable as ti passes, but I do. “Money still has value even when the gates of hell are open.”
“….”
Gyu Ryu stared at the bundle of money piled up on the floor at Namgung’s words.
‘Is it true? Money in the human world is just a piece of paper in our world…’
His mind beca complicated.
This is because I have no idea what the pitch black night that will co two years after the gates of hell open.
“What if what you say is false?”
“There is no way to prove it. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. “Whether you hit the ground running and regret it in two years or not.”
“You evil bastard… you are worse than the Naga bastards.”
“I’ve often heard things like that.”
Gyu-ryu was even more at a loss for words at Namgung’s uncivilized answer.
“…i get it.”
In the end, Gyu-ryu took out a piece of parchnt from the bag.
I handed the parchnt to Namgung with a quick toss, and he unfolded it as if he had been waiting
.
“What are you going to do with it?”
“I’m going to write the Book of Revelation. “Admission ticket to the Revelator’s Trials.”
“…what?”
Gyu-ryu wondered if he had misheard Namgung’s words and asked back.
“Writing the Book of Revelation? Nonsense. “Only God knows its contents!”
However, contrary to his cries, Namgung lightly cut his finger with a knife and began to write down sothing with the blood.
It was closer to a shape and formula rather than a letter.
What was clear was that it was a language that did not exist in modern tis.
It was also clear that the more he wrote down the parchnt, the more shocked Gyu-ryu’s face beca.
“Mi… crazy. Humans know runes? “What on earth were you doing in your past life?”
“That’s not important. What matters is what you do from now on. Because the Vicar Clan can open the door to the Revelator’s test.”
Gyu-ryu looked at the parchnt handed to him by Namgung with trembling hands. Surprisingly, even though it was fake, when he grabbed the parchnt, the letters inside began to glow.
Oooh…
And a door appeared behind Gyu-ryu.
The space distorted like a black hole was clearly the door to the quest.
“…let ask you just one question.”
“What?”
“Everything is good, this is it. Let’s say you know the existence of the Revelator’s Test through your mories of regression and even know the runes. So it’s okay to try to steal the Revelator’s privileges now.”
“however?”
“Then what will the Revelator do? He is the one who was supposed to co here originally. “You probably know who it is.”
Gyu-ryu grumbled and handed over the parchnt.
“Now this ans you are taking away his benefits. Because of that, his bright future may turn into a gutter. “Aren’t you sorry?”
“sorry?”
But for so reason, Namgung laughed at Gyu-ryu’s question.
“You’re not sorry at all?”
“Such cold-bloodedness…”
Gyu-ryu shook his head as if he didn’t want to say any more, with a bewildered expression on his face.
“….”
Namgung stood in front of the door opened by Gyu-ryu, holding the parchnt.
As Gyu-ryu said, Namgung knew well who would co here.
He was called Gwi-gok (鬼哭).
It is by far the most unique entity among the eight stars.
He commanded nurous spirits and had near-immortal power. He was strong enough to rival Alec, who was praised as the strongest in the Eight Stars.
“well. He was the one who told about the existence of the Revelator’s Test before he died. Attack them faster than you and steal the power you need to gain.”
“Hey lie. How can you so easily give soone else the opportunity to gain the power to beco stronger? I would know because I lived a past life. What a terrible world this will beco. “I guess he was an incredibly nice guy, right?”
Gyu-ryu tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
‘Choi Hwi-soo’s hocoming.’
Namgung thought of his na for a mont.
Choi Hwi-su was his teacher.
“no. “It’s the opposite.”
Namgung inherited the necromancy he had learned.
“To the people of the world, he is just one piece of trash that needs to be killed.”
A rare psychopath.
In order to use Death Spirit, you need the necessary prerequisites.
Of course, they were dead.
Even though the gates of hell were opened and corpses were scattered everywhere, Choi Hwi-su did not hesitate to do anything to find better quality corpses.
Not just the dead, but even the thodology of how to die.
All sorts of indescribable tortures were committed as a result. Namgoong was just one of Choi Hwi-soo’s many test subjects.
The wound was gone, but the areas where he had hit still felt like they were throbbing.
There was no particular reason why Namgung beca Choi Hwi-soo’s disciple.
Torture under the guise of countless experints.
Because I survived there.
“And to too.”
So there is no need to feel any guilt.
* * *
Sssssssssssssss—!!!
As he crossed Gyu-ryu’s portal, light appeared behind the deep darkness in Namgung’s vision, as if he was exiting a long tunnel.
“Why are you following ?”
“…Never mind. “I’m just going to see how you fare.”
Namgung glanced at Gyu-ryu, who had crossed the door with him, and smiled.
“It doesn’t matter… but you’d better be careful. “No matter how much you act, this is not the place for you to co.”
“Director Nam. No matter how great you were in your past life, now you are just an ordinary human being. You better be careful. “If only you knew who the owner of this place you would open was.”
Gyu Ryu stuck out his tongue at Namgung and said.
“I know. “No, I know very well.”
Otherwise, there was no reason to co here during the eight Revelator Tests.
“Because he’s the one who harassed for 18 years.”
Namgung lived 25 years after the gates of hell opened.
On October 11, four years after the gates of hell opened, he t Choi Hwi-soo.
He was subjected to terrible torture for three years, and on the seventh year, Namgung killed Choi Hwi-su.
“Just when I thought I had finally escaped that damned guy, I t soone even worse.”
Choi Hwi-soo was better.
At least we were the sa person.
This guy was a being that I couldn’t reach in my past life.
▶ We have entered the realm of those who handle the seven snakes.
Namgung walked forward while looking at the red notification that appeared in front of him.
* * *
[He is not permitted.]
That was then.
A voice echoed in his head, and Gyu-Ryu’s body trembled as if his spine had gone numb at the voice.
[Gyu. Why did you bring a human here?]
“That…”
[This is a place where only Revelators are allowed. However, I did not choose you.]
“You did not choose . That was your defeat. “You should have chosen from the beginning.”
In an instant, the darkness split and a large eye popped out through it.
“Lord of these seven serpents!! The author is that regressor!! “A murderer who killed 666,666 high-ranking demons… no, a murderer!!”
Long pupils like snake eyes appeared and glared at him.
[…Are you the one who turned the tables on us?]
Unlike Gyu-ryu, who was trembling like an aspen tree, Namgung looked at those big eyes without any hesitation and spoke.
[You are not qualified.]
“He’s better than Choi Hwi-soo, who you chose. “Let’s check whether you are qualified or not.”
At that mont, the floor shook.
It billowed like a swell and the surroundings flowed as if lting.
Nothing was visible, but that made them feel even more fear.
There was silence.
No, his ears cannot hear.
It got dark.
No, his eyes are not visible.
I didn’t feel anything.
No, his sense of touch had disappeared.
The stale air has changed.
No, his sense of sll was blocked.
I felt like I was a doll.
Namgung felt as if his limbs belonged to soone else, independent of his will.
“Hehehehe…!!”
Gyu-ryu tried to run away imdiately due to the terrible pressure. But the door was closed and there was no way to escape.
“Save , save …”
Due to the pressure from his superiors, Gyu-ryu sat down like a frightened child, buried his face between his knees, and grabbed the back of his head with both arms.
Aaaaaaaah—!!!
thud-!! Kwaaaang–!!!
Gyu-ryu’s trembling appearance disappeared.
Instead, I saw an illusion.
A scream that would tear your eardrums and a booming sound that echoed everywhere.
Collapsed rubble.
And I saw dead bodies underneath.
“….”
Namgung’s eyes were focused on one place.
The piled up rubble was his ho.
Only one small hand was visible beneath it.
The guy knew it well.
The person who can shake his heart the most is his daughter.
My heart was pounding –
my heart was beating fast.
But he took a deep breath.
My heart, which had been racing for so ti, went cold.
“That’s childish.”
wickedness-!!!
Namgoong took out a knife and cut the back of his hand.
gulp.
I couldn’t feel the warmth of the blood flowing on the back of my hand, and I couldn’t sll it, but I could only feel the fishy taste as it ran down my throat.
It is the only remaining sense among the five senses.
His sense of taste reminded him that blood was still flowing through his body and that he was human.
“Sigh.”
When Namgung bit the back of his hand, which had been sucking blood, the flesh was torn, causing pain at that mont.
The illusion before my eyes disappeared.
Darkness fell again.
“Don’t try to test with sothing like this. “I am the one who survived the day-and-night endless hell that you created.”
He stared into the darkness.
[…Do you know ?]
“It’s not just that. “I am the one who holds your power.”
Sssssssssssss–!!
A purple aura blood on Namgoong’s arm.
The eyes twirled around him as if curious.
[Kkkkkkkk… Was the returner who twisted the ti axis the one who followed ? If the rest of the Aspects find out about this, they will feel sick to their stomachs and die.]
Whoops–!!
It was then.
Namgoong plunged the knife he was holding into the eyes that were circling around him.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Deukdeuk…!!
The eye that had been stabbed by the fist blinked in pain and started rolling on the floor.
Namgung didn’t miss it, stepped on the snow and twisted the knife that was stuck in it.
Sigh…!!
Then, the soft and sticky mucus burst and spilled on the floor, and the pupils instantly beca flat like a deflated balloon.
‘I’m crazy…!!!’
Gyu-ryu felt as if he would faint at any mont at the shocking sight.
“I am not the one who followed you.”
Looking at the glassy eyes, Namgung sohow felt a little relieved.
