The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 16

“What is that?”

“…Dungeon?”

People were still confused by the appearance of the dungeon that emerged after the Yashas disappeared.

“no. “Why do I know this….”

“This can’t be….”

People said as they looked at the huge hemispherical black dome created on Seonyudo Island, which was connected by a bridge.

As the yakshas said, the necessary information was engraved in their minds even without explanation.

Dungeon weapon, Yacha bundle….

The basic information necessary for survival was engraved in it as if it had been known from the beginning.

“Status window.”

someone said

People looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Some people saw it and quietly followed along.

“Hmm…”

But the person who spoke first cleared his throat and walked away, as if embarrassed that nothing appeared.

‘It may be a game to those looking down from above, but to us it is not a game.’

It is true that there are items and even tools called runes that increase skills and abilities, but it is not possible to quantify one’s abilities.

‘If you think about it, the weapons and tools you can buy from the bundle have detailed explanations, but there are no stats or skill values.’

Sometimes even the explanations were vague.

It could have been a slight hint, but ultimately it was up to you to figure out its meaning.

Namgoong thought that this was an element that made him realize that this situation was real.

‘This is not a game where you can be resurrected when you die.’

It was a battlefield where you had to risk your life.

“It looks like the leg isn’t broken yet. Good. “If I had time left, I would have thought about building a base first, but…”

Namgung glanced at Gyeongin.

Although there was a delay in meeting him, Namgung did not see him to criticize him.

‘We need an elixir to save Jeon Tae-ho. If I remember correctly, the price of the elixir is 400,000 heads.’

Considering the price of consumables, it was one of the most expensive items.

‘It cannot resurrect the dead, but it is an item that can revive even those who are on the verge of death. Because even destroyed bodies and internal organs can be regenerated.’

Although it is a huge price now, it was actually at the level of a rare weapon for the price of the head.

‘Nowadays, you may think it’s ridiculous since you can only get 1 head by killing a goblin at most, but after about 5 years, the number of monster heads will increase rapidly.’

Of course, the number of monsters covering the city increases exponentially.

Then someone may have doubts.

Why did humanity perish despite the availability of such amazing treatments?

Most of them died before they could collect enough heads to buy elixir.

And those who remained could not use the elixir as they pleased.

‘There is a limit to the number of tools you can buy in a bundle.’

That was the reason Namgung first asked Gyu Ryu when he purchased the rusty dagger.

‘Because of the price, no one will be able to monopolize it right away, but now the first thing you need to get is the elixir.’

If you can recruit a rune master, it will be several times, even dozens of times better than the value of 400,000 heads right now.

Of course, there was no guarantee that he could be recruited like in the past life…

but that was the reason Namgung looked at Gyeongin.

‘A difference that wasn’t there in my past life and exists now.’

I thought that Gyeong-in’s presence would be a big turning point that could change Jeon Tae-ho’s heart.

It wasn’t just a guess, it was probably a parent’s intuition.

‘I was only concerned about surviving…’

He looked at the people next to him in the world.

“thanks.”

“…?”

As he spoke while lightly brushing the hair of his most precious daughter, Somin looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Somin. “Stay right next to your dad.”

“huh. dad.”

Namgung held his daughter’s hand and left the road after a month.

“let’s go.”

I ran across the park and across the bridge leading to Seonyudo and entered the dungeon without hesitation.

▶ I entered the Ghoul King’s grave site.

* * *

Tsuzu That is…!!

Kwahahaang … !!!

When a red thunderbolt fell from above, the zombies filling the hallway instantly turned black.

[…Kekek!!]

[Kyaaaak!!!]

The blackened corpse was ugly to look at, but there was something else that horrified people more than that.

“I don’t think there’s any need to stick around. older brother.”

Myung-Hoon smiled sheepishly as he looked at the corpses of the undead lying on the floor.

“…I see.”

Namgung also smiled bitterly at his words and nodded.

“hmm. good!”

As the monsters fell, Somin clenched his fists. The main character who defeated the zombies in the area was none other than her.

“It’s magic… Somin. “You are truly amazing.”

Gyeongin, who was holding the bow, spoke to her as if he was genuinely surprised.

“Nothing special. If you just say wow and gather strength in your hands, pop! And when the feeling comes, boom! “You just have to drop it.”

“Cow? Pot? Aha….”

At Somin’s explanation, Gyeongin glanced at Namgung.

‘Magic began when Den Howl, one of the eight martial saints and an archmage who later earned the title of wise man, established a theory.’

Magic requires basic qualifications, but even if one had qualifications, it was difficult to manifest them.

‘Den Howl said that the most important thing to use magic is implementation.’

Realization was just imagination.

‘They said that the younger the child, the easier it is to implement magic. I guess they were wrong.’

After hearing Somin’s explanation about magic, Namgung remembered the story of Den Howl.

‘Of course, it may be because Somin’s qualifications are outstanding.’

I thought it was truly legendary.

Actually, I was lucky.

There were many people who died without knowing what their qualities were.

There were items that could be used to confirm their qualities, but the prices were high, so not many people bought them.

‘Because it was a busy world to survive in.’

Even if he later discovered magical talent, it was difficult for someone who already used a sword to easily learn magic.

In order to survive, you had to collect heads, and to do that, you had to hunt.

This was because I had already become accustomed to using a sword when dealing with monsters.

“Isn’t it gross?”

“Yeah… a little bit, but it’s okay. If you think it’s like “underworld”…”

“Underworld?”

Myung-Hoon asked back at So-Min’s words.

“Ah, it’s the most popular online game these days. “It’s a game about hunting zombies… I play it a lot because I can adjust the age depending on the mode.”

Gyeong-in also seemed to know the game and answered Myung-hoon on So-min’s behalf.

Then he took out his cell phone and showed the game video posted on YouTube.

[bang…! Quagang!!]

[Too-doo-doo…!]

A game in which the main character, who came down to an underground passage, hunts zombies with various weapons, from swords and magic to guns, and continues to challenge himself to the lower floor.

“Well… what’s so fun about a game like this?”

Myeong-Hoon, who had lived in the battlefield for a long time, did not seem very reluctant.

“…Somin. “Have you ever played a game like this?”

Namgoong frowned slightly when he saw the video full of blood and flesh.

“How popular is it? There is a very high ranking flame player in Korea, right? “It’s really not a joke.”

“Flame?”

“huh. A few days ago, we had an E-sports national competition at Underworld. “He is a member of our country’s national team.”

Namgung nodded at her words.

Although he wasn’t particularly interested in games, the nickname Flame remained in his mind.

“I’m a Gunner user and I’m really good at it!”

Somin shouted as if she was a fan of Flame.

‘Flame… Surely it’s not him?’

Rather than being surprised at his daughter’s hobbies, which he didn’t know about, Namgung became interested in the person she mentioned called Flame.

“Do you have any photos?”

“Yes, of course!”

She took out her phone and searched.

“Hmm…”

The face shown on the screen was that of a young boy. At most, he’s Somin’s age.

“The name is Chan-ho Jeong. He is from Myeongjin Middle School and is the same age as me. Isn’t it absolutely amazing? “I’m a middle school student.”

Somin’s voice rose in tone as if she was a little excited.

‘He’s a bit small… but when I met Flame, 10 years had passed. ‘I’m not sure.’

Is it just a coincidence?

Namgoong frowned slightly as he recalled memories of his past life.

This is because he also had memories of the name Flame.

However, unlike now, the Flame he knew 10 years later had his face covered with a mask, so his true appearance was unknown.

‘Spit Fire.’

People called Flame that way, and sometimes called it Fire Demon.

Even though he was called by different names, it was clear that he had extreme skills in handling fire.

‘Well… it’s not important yet.’

Even if the Flame he knew was indeed professional gamer Chan-ho Jeong, he had no chance of meeting him right away.

I had to focus here for now.

‘I hope Somin of the area doesn’t think of this lightly, like it’s a game…’

Even for goblins and zombies, most people died. Even though it was a low-level monster, it was not weak.

It’s just because Somin’s qualities are outstanding.

‘Because the moment you lose your guard is the most dangerous. ‘You must always think that the enemy may be stronger than you.’

He should be happy about his daughter’s outstanding qualities, but at the same time, he was worried.

“let’s go.”

It was then.

At that moment, unlike Namgoong’s expressionless face, Somin’s hand, clenched into a fist, was shaking.

‘Is it still too early?’

Namgung looked back at himself for thinking that and smiled bitterly.

“It looks like your complexion is not good…”

“Oh no. are you okay. “I just thought about it for a bit.”

He nodded to Myung-Hoon to show that it was okay and held his daughter’s hand.

“don’t worry.”

Somin smiled as if nothing had happened to his words.

“Leave the rest to us.”

As if aware of his concerns, Myeong-hoon and Gyeong-in stepped forward, blocking the two men.

When I turned the corner, the hallway was full of zombies.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Shoo!

Quaggggggg-!!

The two lightly swept away the approaching zombies.

Although he was already well aware of Myung-hoon’s skills, Namgung could not help but be surprised once again by Gyeong-in’s skills.

“They’re all head shots. “Didn’t you say that you learned a little about bowing when you were young?”

“yes. That’s… It wasn’t like that before, but strangely, the moment you pull the string, it looks like the target is getting bigger. “Is it easy to guess?”

“okay?”

Namgung said as he exploded the zombie’s head and pulled out the arrow stuck in the ground.

‘Before, it was like getting stuck in a goblin’s head, but now it’s at the level of a complete explosion. As expected, as Jeon Tae-ho’s son, he has awakened his talents related to archery.’

“Is there anything else?”

“Um… I have a suspicion about one thing… I’ll tell you about that later when I’m sure.”

Gyeongin gave an ambiguous answer to Namgung’s question.

‘What is it? The fact that I need confirmation means I’m not sure yet… I wonder if it has something to do with the qualities of a rune master.’

Namgung was curious, but decided to wait.

If you don’t ask in advance, it may end up being an ambiguous situation when Jeon Tae-ho wakes up later.

“okay. “Please tell me when you can.”

“All right.”

“Oh brother. Look over there!”

At that moment, Myung-Hoon broke the silence and shouted.

“That…”

At the end of the hallway was an iron box like the one I saw at the National Cemetery.

“Oh… maybe a reward box? “It’s already over… Isn’t this a complete victory?”

Myung-Hoon asked with anticipation in his voice as he saw the familiar appearance of the box.

“for a moment.”

“…yes?”

“Kyungin. “Shoot your bow at that box.”

Myung-Hoon, who was reaching for the box, hurriedly dodged to the side at Namgung’s words.

Shook-!!

Kwaaaang–!!

“…!!”

The moment the arrow hit the box, an explosion suddenly occurred. Even though they were far away, a searing heat washed over them.

“Aaaah!”

Namgoong blocked Somin’s path and blocked the heat.

“What is this…”

Myung-Hoon looked blankly at the box that suddenly exploded.

“It’s a dungeon trap. There are things that explode like that, and there are box-shaped monsters called Mimics.”

“Brother. If it has that much power….”

“In the current situation, it would be instant death.”

Gulp –

People swallowed their saliva in nervousness at Namgung’s answer.

“But there are also boxes with real rewards, so I can’t help but check them.”

“You literally have to risk your life.”

Myung-Hoon said, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he thought about what would have happened if he had opened the box just a moment ago.

“But it doesn’t look like it’s a hit.”

Namgoong picked something up from the remains of the exploded box.

“…What is that?”

He said, lightly throwing the old key towards Myung-Hoon.

“Key to the boss room.”
