The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant
Chapter 70

Episode 70

[You want to compare the conditions with me…?]

Sigh-!!

A tingling sensation in the back of my head.

[Has he lost his wits… or is he bold…]

Namgung unconsciously pressed his legs against the floor as he tried to step back.

[Whatever it is, I have never met a person like you. If you think that we will respect you because you are a revealer of status, you are mistaken.]

‘…You must not leave here.’

Feeling the trembling of his uvula as he swallowed dry saliva, Namgung did not avoid Muhwi’s eyes.

Kwaaaaang—!!

Quagga River–!!

At the moment when tension enveloped his entire body, the huge Muhwi sitting on the throne leapt out towards Namgung at incredible speed.

“…!!!”

Intimidating as if a storm were blowing.

[Huh huh?!]

Gyu Ryu instinctively raised his arms and covered his face.

Kwaang-!!!

But Namgung did not avoid his attack.

Spirit soldiers were summoned from behind the shadows to block Muhwi’s attack.

Quagga River…!!!

Muhwi’s fist tore the three soul soldiers apart.

[This is a rare guy.]

Finally, only after the ax that As was holding was smashed did Muhwi stop.

[He is indeed the revealer chosen by the owner of the seven serpents.]

Pow–!!

Muhwi grinned, opened his fist once more, and then clenched it.

He just clenched and opened his fist, and a dull roar erupted in front of As, as if the air had been compressed and exploded.

thud!! Passsssseu…!!

As fell backward from the shock and crumbled and disappeared on the spot.

‘With just one blow…’

Namgung once again felt Muhwi’s strength.

Unlike the spirit soldiers, As was a hero-level spirit that could be called a demigod.

Muhwi’s power that destroyed such a spiritual body.

[I have interesting powers.]

He said with a confident expression.

Tsuzuzu….

Tsuzu….

Muhwi waved his hand as if shaking off the dust of the soul soldiers on his fist.

‘…strong.’

Namgung thought.

The Muhwi of today was definitely different from the Muhwi he remembered.

He felt alive.

It wasn’t just because I was young 25 years ago.

[Please come under me instead. If you just do as I tell you, you can become the winner.]

Namgung smiled bitterly at his words.

It’s a funny story, but Namgung wanted to see Muhwi confident like that.

Muhwi in his previous life was weak.

To be precise, we should say that it was weakening.

‘Because I was dying.’

It is natural for anyone with life to grow older and move towards death as time passes, but Muhwi was heading towards death a little faster than the other leaders.

He got sick.

“It’s an interesting story, but… I don’t have much faith in it.”

[…What?]

“How can I trust someone who will grow faster than me and pursue a great cause?”

At that moment, Muhwi’s face hardened.

[dare…!! Such nonsense!!]

[I will kill you!!]

All the Yashas around stood up and shouted at the same time.

[Quiet.]

But unlike them, Muhwi’s arrogance from earlier disappeared and he spoke in a heavy voice.

[It seems you know me.]

“Otherwise, there would be no reason to choose Yaksha. “Yakshas rule over Asia, but the current power of the Daeja clan is the giants.”

[Indeed…]

Muhwi waved his hand at that moment.

[Everyone, go away.]

Once the surroundings were cleared, a strange current flowed between the two.

“You’ve probably been feeling it for quite some time. A stabbing pain in my lower left abdomen. “Maybe right now… your left arm is going numb?”

[…How much do you know?]

Moohwi asked.

[Your speculation will soon disappear. That’s why they want to decide on a successor faster than any other leader. And…]

Namgung spoke in a low voice.

“You mean, the Titan, the leader of the giants, will burst your heart out?”

Boom—!!

At that moment, Muhwi’s face distorted and his strong fist struck Namgung.

Kwahia Ah — !!!!!

A loud roar and black smoke filled the hall, as if an explosion had occurred.

[How dare you… A titan or something like me? gibberish!! In the end, you are nothing more than a fraudster who pretends to be a regressor and uses his tongue three inches!

“….”

When the smoke subsided, Namgung’s figure was visible under Muhwi’s fist.

Namgung blocked the attack with the 【Confessor’s Sword】 and 【Baekcheon River Sword】 that crossed in an X above his head.

[Hmph, can you stop me with such a thin blade?]

“Of course. “It’s not just about blocking.”

Blood –

At that moment, a fine red line appeared on Muhwi’s forearm, and blood appeared along with a light wound.

[…It’s pretty good. You pierced my skin and hurt me. [You seem to have some talent.]

Mu-hwi raised his arm, licked the flowing blood with his tongue, and said while snorting at Namgung.

“Muhwi, why don’t you be more honest now? “It’s just the two of us, so I don’t think there’s any need to worry about our pride.”

[…What?]

“You know. “Unless it is a unique weapon or higher, no matter how good you are at flying and crawling, it cannot hurt you, the head of the Yasha.”

Nevertheless, Namgung hurt him.

Why?

“It’s the effect of compatibility. “It’s not the sharpness of the weapon or my skills.”

Cheeeeeeek….

At that moment, surprisingly, the wound on Muhwi’s arm did not heal and instead began to freeze.

“The blood of a yaksha is hot. Because the monstrous recovery comes from the boiling heat of blood. On the contrary, the blood of giants is cold. Titans are monsters born from ice.”

Yaksa and giants.

These two proxy clans have been fighting each other for power for a long time, as opposed to fire and ice.

“But now, the leader of the Yasha, who can be said to be the pinnacle of flame, has his skin frozen by the cold emanating from the magic item.”

[….]

“It means that the heat of blood flowing in the body is gradually cooling down. “The pain you felt in your abdomen has now spread to your arms and legs, right?”

Muhwi’s eyes hardened slightly at Namgung’s words.

“The life force of a yaksha is like fire. “If the numb pain increases, it means that the heat is disappearing.”

Looking at him, Namgung continued speaking.

“Admit it. you are dying I’m getting old. “The speed will be faster than you think.”

[You guy…]

“What will other Yashas think of this? What if this fact gets to the giants before then?”

Suddenly,

Muhwi’s lips were shaking.

“The Titans will never miss this golden opportunity.”

[As you said, my spark is gradually fading away. However, there are outstanding children under me, and a successor will be chosen to fill my vacancy.]

He spoke as if he was shouting with his eyes wide open.

[Do you think the yaksha is afraid of death?]

“I know very well the bravery of the yaksha. But no matter how much you don’t fear death, don’t you want to live if you can?”

[…What?]

“There is a way to survive.”

Gulp-

Muhwi’s uvula moved.

[Really?]

It was so huge that you could feel his urgency just by the sound of him swallowing.

“Titan, the leader of the giant race, was born from ice. His body is so cold that it can literally be said to be living ice. But his heart is definitely beating.”

Namgung looked at him.

“A heart beating vigorously in a cold body. “It’s ironic, but there’s nothing hotter than the heart of a titan.”

[No way…]

“To do that, we have to steal the Titan’s ice heart.”

[You’re saying to start a war.]

“That’s right. It’s a war between yakshas and giants that won’t be surprising if it breaks out at any time. “Perhaps once the contractor is decided, it will begin naturally with them at the forefront.”

Muhwi looked at Namgung with trembling eyes as if he knew what plan he had in mind.

“Winning or losing the war ultimately rested on the shoulders of the clan’s contractors. “The fate of the Yasha clan, or even your life before that, depends on me.”

[What do you want?]

“Now we’re finally making sense.”

In response to Muhwi’s question, Namgung smiled meaningfully and said, as if he liked it.

“Don’t compare conditions. Just give me everything your yakshas can give.”

* * *

[How on earth did you roast and boil your father?]

Gyu-ryu, who was nervous about having to dispose of the body, opened the door to the hall and looked at Namgung in bewilderment as he walked out.

‘It’s not enough to come out alive, so my father asked me to open Tongcheonru…’

Gyu-ryu left the hall where Mu-hwi was and slowly raised his head. He swallowed his saliva as he looked at the huge tower that seemed to pierce the sky erected in the center of his clan’s village.

‘That’s a place I haven’t been to yet…’

Tongtianlu (通天樓).

It was the clan’s treasure trove and a sanctuary open only to the leader.

Not only weapons and treasures, but also numerous secret books.

It was truly a place where everything about the Yaksha clan was gathered.

[Wow… I’m jealous. When you come back, please let me know what’s inside.]

As he stood in front of the tower’s door, Gyu-ryu bowed his head and said.

“You’ll go in too.”

[…Yes?]

“Open the door.”

[yes? yes. yes? Really?]

Gyu-ryu couldn’t keep his mouth shut at Namgung’s unexpected words and hurriedly knocked on the tower’s door.

Guggggggggg….

[Can I really go in too?]

“Yes. Muhwi said it would take about three days until the other clans’ auctions were over. “He gave us the opportunity to view Tongtian Tower for those three days.”

[It’s crazy… I can’t believe I went into this place!!]

Gyu-ryu was so happy.

[…Could it be possible for me, too, to see the emergency book here?]

He said with eyes full of anticipation, licking his lips with his tongue as if to quench his appetite.

“Of course. You know, right? “All the non-level books in there are of the highest level.”

[Of course.]

“I asked for it specifically. Although it is limited to one thing, Muhwi still allowed you to see the special documents.”

[Wow… Awesome!! Hyun-ryu needs to know this! I may be the first yaksha to enter Tongtianru before inheriting the hierarchy!]

At Namgung’s words, he jumped up and shouted.

“The secret level that Mu-hwi has allowed you is fighting armor. “It is the highest level of Yasha’s techniques that increases defense.”

[Oh…]

Gyu Ryu’s eyes sparkled.

[Gapjutsu… Kiya…! I like it just by hearing the name. This is all thanks to Namgoong. I will be loyal.]

“That’s right. “I need your help too.”

[sure!! Who are you talking about? Please order as much as you want!]

Gyu-ryu nodded and saluted.

“After all, it is not something that can be learned just by learning a technique; it has to be learned by using it over and over again.”

[Oh, right.]

“But when I asked, they said there was no punching bag inside.”

[Huh?]

Namgung walked into the tower.
