The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant Chapter 76

Episode 76

“Is it really okay?”

As Park Hyo-joo left the reception room and walked down the hallway with Namgung, she spoke to him.

“We will protect the house no matter what, so how about going to the red zone? Anyway, you have to hunt the boss monster to finish.”

“well. “I am very worried about whether I will be able to protect my ho, even from reporters.”

“Ugh… that’s it.”

She gave strength to her voice with an expression full of determination, but frowned and blushed at Namgung’s words.

“I’m kidding. “It’s not a lie that you are the only person I can trust in the governnt in my current situation.”

Namgung said.

“Protecting your ho does not an giving up the red zone. “I’ll leave that to Myung-hoon.”

“Uhm….”

Park Hyo-joo remained silent.

It was acknowledged that Choi Myung-hoon’s skills were outstanding, but it was questionable whether he would be able to perform in the red zone where there were revelations like Alec Traman.

“You don’t have to be strong to defeat the boss monster.”

Namgung seed to have read her expression and gave a aningful answer.

Then he took out a note from his pocket.

“This is a list of talented people with good qualifications in Korea that we separately researched. “The red zone opens and monsters will be summoned after so ti… so gather as many people as you can during that ti.”

“All right.”

Park Hyo-joo looked over the list he handed over and nodded.

“Aren’t you going in person?”

“Of course I should too. There are places to go other than those. Well, I doubt that the old man will help if I go.”

“Who are you?”

“Mandeoksu from Nowon-gu. “I asked Jang Gil-soo a favor before, but he contacted .”

‘Jang Gil-su and Man Deok-su… with those two, Seoul’s defense can be organized to so extent.’

Namgung felt fortunate to have been able to find him at the right ti.

“It’s just a reference, but when deploying military forces, it would be better to concentrate them in Daegu and Pohang.”

“What about Gunsan?”

“It would be better to evacuate citizens in Gunsan. “It’s not a very good situation for defense, but Daejeon above is much safer than other cities.”

“Daejeon?”

“huh. “Maybe it’s safer than Seoul.”

Namgung rembered one person.

Jin Soo-hyuk, an ard man.

He has a special talent for making weapons, and he would be gradually fortifying Daejeon by now.

‘I don’t need to worry about him. Rather, he is a person who will grow faster without help.’

Even in his previous life, Jin Soo-hyuk was one of the gatekeepers who protected the city without going to the red zone.

“That’s it for now…”

Namgung let out a low sigh and quickened his pace.

Even though he had done the best defense he could at the mont, his expression was not very bright.

‘But if you don’t catch the moul, you’ll be pushed out by the monsters.’

I had to finish it before then.

Whether in the red zone or here, it was ultimately a race against ti.

* * *

– Alek Traman’s Universe Clan sets out to conquer the red zone!

-Hidden revelators reveal themselves!

-An important announcent from the US White House! Announcing the appearance of the great wizard Den Howl!

-The new director of the Australian aid organization STW, Aira Michel, recognizes the revelator!!

-STW decided to support those conquering the red zone… The goal is to rescue people, not hunt monsters!

-People around the world were moved by Aira Michel’s love for humanity…

3 days after the red zone was opened.

The whole world was busy, and as Namgung expected, Den Howl, one of the Revelators, appeared.

“Everyone is starting to move.”

The flood of articles directed at them continued to be uploaded even as I read them.

The interest in them was enormous.

“You are playing the dia properly. “If I conquer the red zone, I will beco a hero who saves the world.”

Namgung, who had already blocked the gates of hell twice, found their appearance simply laughable.

This is because the articles posted did not contain any information about his achievents or his identity.

That wasn’t all.

There was no talk about those who were selected as contractors for the proxy clan, which was receiving a lot of attention.

It’s just a story about conquering the red zone.

And the Internet was plastered with content about revelers targeting that place.

“I guess they’re trying to create a hero.”

Namgung was able to fully guess their intentions.

If he conquers the red zone, the dia will praise him as a hero who will save the world.

Naturally, governnts around the world hope that the hero will co from their own union.

‘Because of that greed, instead of attacking the red zone, they were busy securing bases and fighting each other.’

“Tsk-”

Namgung shook his head at a mory he didn’t want to recall.

“…hmm?”

At that mont, one title caught his eye among the list of articles.

[There were heroes before heroes.]

Is it just curiosity?

Namgoong clicked on the article before turning off his phone.

[Who blocked portal number 2? We need to pay attention to his identity.]

The content of the article was about himself.

In a situation where articles related to the three revelators were pouring in, it was surprising to him that there was a reporter who was interested in him.

[Myung-Hoon Choi and Ho-Jun Kang, who had been attracting attention as a revealer after the first door, turned out to not be a revealer.] [

But the two doors were clearly captured in Korea.]

[Then who was the boss hunting?]

[We are looking for that person. I need to find out about it.]

I scrolled down and checked the na of the reporter who wrote the article.

【Kukkyung Ilbo Reporter Han Ji-hee】

“Hmm…”

Namgung was the only one who rembered the na of the reporter who wrote the other article.

‘It may be an angular stone, but maybe it will be helpful in the future.’

Jiing- Jiing-

At that mont, the cell phone rang.

Jang Gil-soo’s na appeared on the screen where the article was written.

-arrived?

“yes. right now.”

-Are you sure we can’t go together? That old man’s temperant was not normal. The association kids went there before and got scolded and kicked out.

“I know that personality well. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it. It may not have been easy, but thank you.”

-Thank you… Anyway, if you need anything, please contact right away. I will be building additional defenses at the base as you said.

“All right.”

Namgoong got out of the car, finished his phone call with Jang Gil-su, and looked around, looking at the address written on the note.

During his absence, Majang-dong, although still inadequate, began to take on the appearance of a fortress compared to other districts.

Three barricades were built, and slaughterers from the Livestock Association were stationed in each area.

After discussing with Namgung, Jang Gil-su planned to stop the invading monsters rather than being greedy for the red zone.

‘For soone who becos stronger by eating monsters, it’s not a bad choice to fight off the attacking monsters.’

Jang Gil-su continued to build walls to protect the city with mbers of the association, but the area they could protect was limited.

The Chamak Unit, a team dedicated to monsters led by Park Hyo-joo, was still small in number.

‘Seoul is large and there are too few useful people.’

However, there was no one who had the ability to change the city like Jin Soo-hyuk.

That’s how I found it.

“….”

Namgung scanned the alleys of the neighborhood, which were nothing special.

The streets that had been damaged here and there by the goblin attack at the first Hell Gate remained unrecovered.

“Keuung-”

A sound of labored breathing was heard from inside the alley.

‘Is this place?’

As Namgung approached the corner of the street, an empty lot appeared inside with the remains of a collapsed building piled up as if it had been bombed.

“excuse .”

Even though it was the middle of winter, the old man, wearing a T-shirt and a towel around his neck, carrying cented rebar, turned his head to Namgung’s words.

Although he was small in stature, he had well-built muscles and unusual eyes that belied his age.

It was Mandeoksu, the king of the workshop.

Namgung’s shoulders twitched in joy, making him want to go and shake hands right away.

One of the colleagues who helped in my past life.

But there was no way he knew himself.

“Is this a hardware store? “I didn’t know there was such a large vacant lot in a place like this.”

He suppressed his joy and pretended not to notice as he held up his cell phone.

It ant that I found it after searching.

“You were a guest. So what did you co to buy? The hardware store is back there. “Let’s go there.”

Man Deok-su put down the shovel he was holding and said, wiping his sweat.

“This is just an empty lot, so I was just cleaning it up. “It was originally where my son and wife lived.”

He spoke calmly, but the debris still remaining here and there in the vacant lot showed that there was a house here.

“…I see.”

Namgung responded to his words in a low voice.

‘I didn’t know if Man Deok-su had children… but he was a nobleman who never talked about it. I guess I lost it after the door opened.’

He thought as he looked at the collapsed building.

Since he knew better than anyone else the sorrow of losing a child, Namgung decided to wait quietly while he sorted things out.

“Are you doing this alone?”

“Well… right. “Damn the world… You take away the most important thing from an old man who has nothing left.”

Mandeoksu said with a bitter expression.

“I think I’m doing that because I’m thinking of my grandfather. “How could that child not want to find his parents’ bodies?”

At Namgung’s words, he sighed as he looked at the piled up remains of the collapsed building.

“But isn’t it impossible to move that debris alone? “Please at least call a worker.”

“That’s it. I don’t want to rely on other people’s help. “Go over there and see if there’s anything you need.”

He said, pointing to the store.

“Most of the companies that brought in goods have closed, so there isn’t much left. “I don’t know if I have what I’m looking for.”

However, contrary to what was said, the store was full of neatly organized items on display.

Namgung looked at several items.

‘light.’

Although they looked ordinary, the contents inside were anything but.

Clap –

Namgung took out an old electric drill from the box.

Jiiiing….

The sound of the drill rotating echoed between the two people.

“It’s good.”

Namgung waved the electric drill he was holding at him and put it down.

“It’s used there. It will be useful. These are things I’ve worked on little by little. “There’s nothing you can do if you don’t like it because it’s used, but it’s probably better than most new products.”

“I think so. I think you have good skills. “Isn’t this a product from Tool & Company, a company that specializes in equipnt?”

“I recognize you.”

“Because of its good performance, it is often used in military units. “The downside is that it’s extrely heavy.”

Namgung looked at him.

“But this one is as light as a toy. “There is no way a lighter product could have been released.”

“….”

He took out a small hamr from inside the display case.

It was an ergency glass hamr used to break glass in the event of an accident.

At most, it is as big as the palm of your hand.

Jeopuk – Jeopuk – Jeopuk –

Namgung took it and walked out the door of the store.

“Now wait a minute…!!”

The mont he grabbed the hamr, which seed like it was nothing special, Man Deok-su hurriedly stood up from his seat as if he was embarrassed.

Kaang-!!

Namgung hit a large block of cent under his feet with a hamr.

Jeok… Jeok….

Pow!!!

“It’s a bit excessive considering you just looked at it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the area where the hamr touched cracked and the cent pieces shattered into powder.

“If the body of a child is buried under a collapsed building… a parent wants to save it imdiately.”

Namgung threw the hamr he was holding at Man Deoksu and said.

“But you remove the debris by yourself without calling in any manpower? Why?”

He smiled strangely.

“That’s probably because it’s faster to do it yourself.”

“…What are you?”

Man Deok-su asked with a stern face.

“In the future, we will build barriers in major cities, including Seoul. “We are mobilizing all the manpower we can, but we are running out of ti.”

“so?”

“Would you please lend your strength?”

“I would have definitely said that. I have no ti left in this world. “I will quietly finish my work and finish.”

“no. You must live.”

“What are you?”

He asked as if he was dumbfounded by Namgung’s words.

“I am also a parent.”

Cringing –

At that mont, Man Deok-su’s expression hardened.

Wow…!!

Black smoke rose around Namgung.

At the sa ti, the soul soldiers who appeared began to seep into the collapsed rubble.

Coog… Coogggg….

The soul soldiers took the form of smoke and began to surround the wreckage and lift it one by one.

“Ki-hoon….”

The figure of Man Deok-su’s son appeared from the rubble.

His son and his wife were hugging each other as if trying to overco the fear of the last monts.

“Huh… Hmm….”

Mandeoksu hugged the two corpses with a distorted face.

“Please protect your parents’ hearts. So as not to lose your child. “So that you don’t have to go through that horrible experience.”

Gwaak-

Namgung lightly comforted Man Deoksu’s shoulder.

“With the tool you created, we could protect the hearts of many more people. “Can you help ?”

“….”

Man Deok-su, who had been listening quietly to his words, ran his hand down his son’s crushed cheek and asked.

“…Did you say you have a child?”

“Yes, I have one daughter.”

“Is the child alive?”

Namgung paused for a mont in answering his question.

It seed as if the terrible, bitter feelings of the 25 years before the return were stabbing him like a ray of light.

But he can answer now.

“yes.”

Namgung calmly nodded.
