Episode 6
▶ You have encountered a phase.
▶ I experienced the other world.
▶ Abilities are registered.
After leaving Yor’s space and arriving at the Euljiro shopping center, several windows appeared before Namgung’s eyes along with an alarm sound.
▶I gained enlightennt as a revealer!
A new skill has been acquired.
▶ The level of skills already acquired changes.
▶ Necromancy (Beginner) → (Interdiate)
▶ Soul’s Eye Lv1 → Lv2
▶Acquired a new skill.
▶ Soul Detection Lv1
▶ Soul Ministry Lv1
▶ Soul Absorption Lv1
The skills written on the spear that fell before his eyes were ones he had already used in his previous life.
‘Is this a perk of regression? As soon as you learn a skill, your level goes up one level…’
It was an unexpected benefit, but it wasn’t a bad thing.
Raising the level of a skill was never easy. In particular, unlike detailed skills, the level of necromancy, which was the base, required a huge amount of experience.
‘If I rember correctly, I will be able to go there when I beco interdiate…’
He slightly rolled his eyes.
But for a mont, there was sothing more that caught his eye.
《Soul Eyes Lv2》
Ability to understand the souls of the dead.
As your understanding increases, your communication with the soul increases and your abilities increase.
▶ Sotis you can see the soul of a corpse.
▶ When the level reaches its maximum, you can summon a soul.
▶ However, extinct souls cannot be summoned.
“As expected…”
At the mont of his first return, Namgung was convinced that the soul he felt was his wife’s.
“If I survive hell, maybe I’ll see you again.”
He closed his eyes for a mont, rembering his wife’s face.
Ironically, even though he knew better than anyone else how painful the life in hell that was about to unfold would be, he still harbored a strange hope.
‘Wake. There is only hope in Germany.’
But soon he steeled himself.
Even though he had cald down several tis in his previous life, the mont he saw his daughter and wife, he was a little shaken.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointnt.
‘Survival is important now.’
Although one part of his chest felt cold, Namgung said as he removed the windows in front of him.
“Gyu-ryu. What sword can I buy with the head I have now? Minimum rare level. “Nothing less than that.”
“yes? Ah yes!! Do you an the sword sword? Please wait a mont!!”
As soon as his words fell, Gyu-ryu hurriedly unpacked the bundle. After visiting Yor’s realm, his attitude towards Namgung changed 180 degrees.
“I have two sacks. Would you like to see it?”
“huh.”
In response to Namgung’s response, Gyu-ryu took out two items from the bag and held them out in front of him.
Numbering 789.
Na: Widow’s Tears
Grade: Rare (Highest)
▶ A sword given to a noble woman by her dead husband.
▶ There is poison on the blade of the sword.
▶ Price: 89,000 heads
▶ Addition: The cause of her husband’s death is unknown.
Numbering 1778.
Na: Executioner’s Beheading Sword
Grade: Rare (Highest)
▶ A sword that has been swung over 1800 tis on the guillotine.
▶ The executioner’s persistence remains.
▶ There is resentnt in the blood.
▶ Price: 77,000 heads
▶ Additional: If soone with spirit does not use it, he may beco a homicidal maniac.
“These two are the most powerful swords you can buy within 100,000 heads.”
The [Ancient Elven Bow] that I saw in the bundle the other day was also a weapon of the sa rare level.
However, unlike the bow, which had no explanation whatsoever, the two weapons had a lot of things written on them.
Moreover, the price of the two weapons was not even half that of the 750,000 heads for the bow.
“That’s a long explanation.”
Gyu-ryu scratched his head as if he knew what that ant.
Because there are many detailed explanations, it ans that there are many stories.
“Nothing good cos from having a deep story.”
Namgung looked at the two swords alternately and said.
“Because it ans you’re cursed.”
“yes. That’s why the price is cheap.”
He held a sword covered in blood and showed it to Gyu-ryu.
“Let’s do this. And can I buy a bag to store my items with the remaining heads?”
“Oh, I’ll give it to you. “This will be useful.”
Gyu-ryu took sothing out of the bag as if he had been waiting.
It was an old belt that looked tattered.
Numbering 8021.
Na: Dwarf’s work squadron
Grade: Magic (first)
▶ A squadron made for short-legged dwarves to use when working. You can also put tools larger than yourself.
▶ Living creatures cannot be added.
▶ Price: 400,000 heads
“Isn’t this item more expensive than the money I have?”
“Haha… As you said, it is difficult to process items with many stories. “It’s sothing I’m rather thankful for.”
Gyu-ryu rubbed his hands and sighed.
“Besides, there is no harm in cultivating friendship with Namgung.”
“That’s wise.”
Namgung nodded at his words. As soon as I brought the
sword
closer, it was sucked into the squadron.
I didn’t feel any weight.
He patted it lightly and said, as if satisfied. The inside was empty and seed to be able to store quite a bit of stuff.
Sigh…!!
When he placed his hand on the platform, the stored items appeared as icons before his eyes.
It was like an inventory of sorts.
‘It’s still at Magic level, but since it says it’s the first, it probably ans that further growth is possible.’
It was a much more useful tool than I thought.
Namgung planned to store daily necessities here before the gates of hell opened.
If you eat sparingly, you might be able to save for at least several months… or even years.
“What ti is it?”
“huh? Oh no. yes? iced coffee! “So… it’s 3 o’clock.”
Gyu-ryu couldn’t help but be surprised that only an hour had passed.
‘I feel like I’ve been out all night for several days.’
He pressed his temples as the fatigue suddenly surged over him.
“I won’t be late. “Thank goodness.”
“yes? Is there anything else you want to do?”
At Namgung’s words, Gyu Ryu looked at him again with a very nervous expression.
‘Of course it is. Since he bought it with a sword, he must be up to sothing else.’
Where will the next destination be?
Could it be that they are trying to hunt Revelators?
Or again…
Gyu-ryu’s mind was spinning dizzyingly.
Gulp –
I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
“Pick up my daughter.”
“…yes?”
“It’s ti for school to end.”
“…Would you like to?”
Seeing Namgung turning around without any hesitation, Gyu-ryu seed to have lost his temper and couldn’t say anything more, so he just laughed.
* * *
“Somin. “You rember Uncle Myung-Hoon, right?”
“huh. of course!”
“I’m going to see my uncle today.”
By now, the other Revelators were probably anxious to strengthen their abilities, but Namgung spent the two days he returned from Euljiro with his daughter.
It wasn’t such a special ti.
Eating together, watching TV together…
It wasn’t any different from any other ti, but in fact, it was ordinary alone ti that we couldn’t spend any other ti.
‘Anyway, the abilities of the Seven Snakes cannot be improved by doing anything right now.’
A necessary condition to increase the skill’s ability.
Because it has to match.
However, in addition to spending ti with his daughter, he thoroughly prepared for the future.
Clothes, food, and other necessary items were packed into the van.
“Today, right? Dad said…”
“That’s right.”
Somin slowly nodded at Namgoong’s words. Then he brought a backpack full of things from his room.
“What is that?”
“I looked it up on the Internet. Survival items.”
“…Deliveries started coming for a while and they were all there.”
Namgung chuckled at his daughter’s words.
When he returned from Euljiro, he told his daughter everything.
It wasn’t strange to say he was crazy.
In fact, I doubted whether he would even believe his own words, which did not even seem like words.
However, Somin did not ask any questions about his words. Namgung was anxious, but the bag she was carrying was enough of an answer.
“let’s go.”
Namgung nodded and slowly looked around his house as if trying to capture it with his eyes.
A space for two people that will disappear when they return.
No, this place was a space for three people.
“….”
Before leaving, he took out his wife’s photo from a small fra placed on the table inside the middle door and carefully placed it in his arms.
Clang –
The front door closed.
10 hours before the gates of hell open.
* * *
Daejeon National Cetery.
Inside the reception room, several people were seen who had co to pay respects to the grave.
“Hueup…”
Namgung let out a low breath and waited for soone.
“Loyalty. “Captain Nam.”
“What does loyalty an… When did you and I get discharged from the military? A long ti. “Myeonghun.”
“yes. Are you still the sa? “You may return to active duty.”
“What nonsense.”
At the entrance to the reception room, a smiling man who playfully saluted Namgung approached him warmly.
“I think I’ve only gained weight because I’ve been lazing around.”
“You are still the sa. It looks good though. “Because I wanted peace rather than the sll of blood.”
“yes. It turned out just as I hoped. “It’s a bit boring, but… it’s 100 tis better than the battlefield.”
The man’s na is Choi Myung-hoon.
In the past, he was Namgoong’s successor and had worked with him in special forces.
“It looks like there are a lot of custors today.”
“sure. There are so many people sleeping in the National Cetery. If you include the people buried not only in the graveyard but also in the charnel house… the number would be tens of thousands.”
“There are a lot of people. I think I only saw a few people back then…”
“Huh? “Does anyone know?”
“no. nothing.”
“Brother, are you hungry? “You sotis talk nonsense when you’re hungry.”
“shut up. “Hey guy.”
Namgung smiled bitterly and ruffled Myunghun’s hair as if shaking it off.
“Hey, it’s been a while since we t, but let’s stop talking about boring things. “What about Somin?”
“I’m sleeping in the car.”
“Well, it’s quite far from Seoul. You must have been tired. sorry. “I should have gone looking for you.”
“no. I put him to sleep on purpose. I like not being awake. “Actually, it wouldn’t be a very good sight.”
“…yes? “It’s not like I can’t show my face…”
“That can’t be right.”
Namgung chuckled at Myung-hoon’s words.
“There was a reason we had to et here instead of Seoul. “Would you like a cup of coffee?”
“Ah yes! “I will buy it.”
“no. I will live. Instead, drink a vanilla latte.”
Seeing him deciding on the nu, Myung-Hoon looked at him strangely again.
“You too, brother. “You know I don’t eat sweets.”
“So yeah. If you don’t drink it now, you’ll probably regret it for the rest of your life. A cup of vanilla latte. “I’m sure he’ll keep saying that he wants to eat it so much.”
“? Oh, that doesn’t make sense. “How long has it been since you stopped eating sweets?”
Myung-Hoon waved his hand as if it was nonsense, but Namgung was adamant.
“Don’t ask, just drink it. Because my brother lives there. Just this ti, drink as much as you give .”
“….”
Myung-Hoon happened to be staring at the vanilla latte in front of him with an expression on his face that he still didn’t understand.
“Ugh… it’s sweet.”
“Drink it all. “There’s less than an hour left.”
“What do you an? older brother? Are you planning to go up to Seoul right away? “Why don’t you sleep for a day?”
Namgung smiled bitterly at those words.
“I wish I could do that too… but it’s probably going to be a long night without any sleep tonight.”
“What do you an by that?”
“I have sothing to tell you.”
Myung-Hoon instinctively sensed that Namgung’s mood had changed.
I felt the sa sharp sense of death as when I faced him in the past.
Myung-Hoon looked at Namgung with a very nervous expression.
“If the world was going to end, would you believe it?”
“Phew…!!”
However, after hearing Namgung’s words for a mont, Myung-hoon stopped and squirted out the latte he was holding in his mouth.
“Oh my. older brother! Why are you joking with such a serious face? I really can’t live. “Do you want to say sothing boring from earlier?”
“It’s no joke.”
Ugh–!!
It was then.
Kwahia Ah — !!!
Quagga River–!!!
The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Kwaaaah?!”
“What’s going on!!”
The loud sound of cups and plates falling from the cupboard and breaking was heard, and the screams of people in the waiting room echoed from all directions.
[Ah Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheng
‘s roar that cos from outside the window at that mont.
The sky, which had been clear just a mont ago, turned black, and red lightning struck everywhere, as if a teorite had fallen.
People could not even react to the sudden disaster.
bang-! bang-! Kwaaaaang–!!
Wajangchang-!!
At that mont, the ceiling of the reception room collapsed.
“Aaaah!!!”
“Aaaahhh…!!”
“People are trapped here!!”
“1… call 119! hurry!!”
People were screaming and shouting to save those trapped in the collapsed rubble.
But that only lasted a mont.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
nowhere?
[Wow! Kyaak!!]
[Munch…! Gulp…!!]
The arms and legs of the people buried in the rubble occasionally trembled. But the trembling soon stopped.
[Crrr….]
[Crrrrr….]
A strange growl heard through the dust.
Thump –
The torn arm of the body that had been shaking a mont ago fell to the floor. The flesh on the arm was tattered, like bones left over from eating at.
[ωϪνοκ!!]
An unknown language was heard from the monster with blood on the corner of its mouth.
[ωϪυφχϕ χω γ stϕ…!!!]
Although it was small in stature, its rust-colored skin, elongated lips, and abnormally protruding canines made it clear that it was not a human.
Goblin.
Although they were the first low-level monsters to appear when the gates of hell opened, they were also the most troubleso and vicious monsters for the past 15 years.
“Aaaahhh!!!”
“Ugh!!”
People scattered in all directions, screaming in horror at the appearance of the monster.
A group of goblins rushed after them like wolves chasing their prey.
“Please save !!”
“Aaaahhh!”
Wow! Wow-!!!
The sounds of people screaming from all over and the sounds of bones and flesh being torn and broken were mixed together.
“Brother Tongue…what on earth is going on?”
Myung-Hoon Choi spoke with a disbelieving expression as he watched the burning of the National Cetery and the end of the terrible people.
“Myunghun.”
Kwaak-
Namgung grabbed his shoulder.
“…yes?”
It was clear eyes.
Namgung knew that those eyes would turn into sorrow and cruelty as he went through the coming sura.
‘Taesan Sword (泰山劍) Choi Myung-hoon.’
There were two large clans that fought against monsters for the longest ti in Korea.
One of them.
Leader of the clan 『Ard Guard』.
I encountered him 10 years after the gates of hell opened.
Since they had already walked different paths during that ti, their situations were very different.
And when the two t again two years later,
one was alive and the other was a cold corpse.
In my past life, I had thought about Namgung several tis.
If I had been with him in Daejeon instead of Seoul before the gates of hell opened…
wouldn’t the future have changed?
Therefore, he was the first companion to be gained.
“This ti, let’s survive together.”
Namgung turned his head, leaving Myeonghun behind, who was still confused.
Somin, who was asleep in the car, seed to have fainted despite this noisy situation.
“You may not rember, but….”
After confirming that his daughter was safe, Namgung looked in one direction. Because there was another reason why he had to co here.
“I received help from you in my past life.”
Myung-Hoon looked at him with puzzled eyes as he spoke to a place where no one was around.
“It may be shaless to say this, but could you please help again?”
But unlike him, who was invisible, there was sothing that Namgung could see.
Necromancy can never be free from death.
“If I were to take advantage of you while you were asleep, I would be taking advantage of you. But I need strength.”
Just like Yor’s warning, the mont he uses this power to save his daughter, there will definitely co a ti when he will agonize over the weight of other people’s lives.
“Even if one day I end up at the crossroads of being a hypocrite, I will do everything I can.”
Maybe that’s what the Aspects want.
Because they are the ones who giggle and enjoy seeing human suffering.
But at least not now.
“Don’t let things go as they expect.”
That was also the reason Namgung ca here the mont the door opened.
“Your power is stronger than anyone else’s in this land.”
A tomb filled with nurous tombstones.
“Hearts of national defense.”
Their nas began to shine.
