The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant
Chapter 91

Episode 91

“Namgoong’s proposal. what do you think?”

Aira Michel asked Alec on the plane returning from Korea.

“In return for placing the alliance’s headquarters in Korea, I will become bait for the monster summoned from the fourth gate…”

She nodded.

“Honestly, I don’t think it’s a bad offer. Many countries suffered damage in the third monster invasion. “It would be terrible to suffer damage again at a time when recovery is needed.”

Eira looked at the clouds flowing outside the window and spoke in a low voice.

“However, as Namgung said, if the fourth boss targets only one target, the battlefield will be limited to Korea. In the meantime, we can buy time to recover.”

“What if Namgung really catches the monster like that?”

“That’s right…”

“The worst-case scenario is that it doesn’t matter whether the Union headquarters is established in Korea. Namgoong gets people’s attention. “That’s the biggest problem.”

Alec clenched his fists

.

“No one knows whether the fourth monster is truly powerful or not.”

“But he returned…”

“What if we are being played by his lies? “Because of his tricks, if even the monsters that can be captured are given up and given to him, the gap will no longer be narrowed.”

He said.

“You know. These are the rewards you can get after defeating the boss. “It would be like giving it to Namgung in its entirety.”

“So… what do you plan to do?”

“The World Union will proceed as scheduled. “We have already reached an agreement with the heads of state of each country, including the UN.”

“…Would it be okay?”

Eira looked at Alec with a worried face.

“What if it’s not okay?”

“…yes?”

Creepy –

At that moment, Aira felt like goosebumps were growing all over her body without her knowledge at the sight of Alec’s eyes looking at her.

“Are you planning to step out now?”

‘What…what are these eyes?’

She couldn’t say anything due to the murderous gaze that didn’t seem to belong to a human.

“From the moment we decided to stay in the red zone, we were in the same boat. What if this comes to light in a situation where the whole world is looking up to Namgoong as a hero? “Is the image of a saint really safe?”

“That…”

“You made the suggestion then, but from now on I will make the suggestion to you. Do you understand?” With a

swallowing

sound, she instinctively nodded.

“So shut up and do as I tell you.”

* * *

[Are we going to start an octagonal war?!!!]

“My ears are going to fall off. “Gyuryu.”

[No, this is going to be quiet. They came after a long time and decided to start a war… How long has it been since the third door was closed that they are fighting again?]

“That’s it.”

Namgung shook his head at Gyu-ryu, who was running wild inside a shabby store in the Euljiro underground shopping mall.

[Are you addicted to fighting? No, we held a night for summoned beasts to get some rest, but why are you going to start a war on your own? Do you think the Aspects created this time because they were kind?]

Gyu-ryu shouted at Namgung.

[When the fourth door opens, it’s going to be really scary! No, you know if you’re a regressor. What kind of guy will come out!]

“I know.”

Whoop –

Namgung drank a can of drink.

“But you would know. “What quests existed before I returned?”

[I know. I know. A chance to return that can be obtained by hunting 666666 demons.]

“Yes. There are 666666 animals. “That’s the number of demons I caught and beheaded.”

[It’s different! It’s not something to compare to those common demons. The demon coming out of the fourth door is…!! Whoop? Oooh!!]

But before Gyu-ryu could finish speaking, his mouth was stuffed with a can.

“I wouldn’t know if it were a person who was lying. “Wouldn’t it be against the rules if the proxy family revealed future events?”

[Whoop whoop!! Oop!!]

Gyu-ryu nodded with a can in his mouth.

[Tsk tsk! Are you confident?]

“If I fight him like this, I will lose 100%.”

[But what are you thinking, causing an octagonal war? You have to replace a defense against the next monster!]

“That’s why I’m doing it.”

[…Yes?]

“If we keep going like this, we will lose, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have confidence. It’s to hunt the fourth monster. “I need the power of the titans.”

[Hmm…]

Gyu-ryu thought while resting his chin.

[The Octagon War is an event to determine the king of the proxy clans. That means it is a war of proxy clans.]

Just as the eight statuses are intertwined, the eight proxy clans also have grudges and compatibility with each other.

The Giants have problems with the Yasha clan but are weak to the Fairies, and the Fairies have problems with the Naga clan but are weak to the Gnome clan.

The clans, who were intertwined like rock, paper, scissors, eventually had to join hands with a clan they were compatible with in order to capture the clan that was hostile to them.

However, it was not easy to take the first action in a situation where both parties were involved.

It’s literally a battle of wits.

In such a situation, the person who tried to start the fire without any hesitation was Namgung.

“I guess so.”

[But humans will start that war first? Honestly, even if a war would break out someday, it wouldn’t be a problem.]

“Why?”

[There is no justification. For humans to intervene in the war of agents is rather like turning the remaining agents into enemies.]

Gyu-ryu said.

[If you try to ignite a spark, you may only end up with a spark.]

“All you have to do is create a cause.”

[well. It’s a shame if it’s not an acceptable justification, but yakshas have many enemies. If Namgung moves, it means that the yakshas must also follow. It could become dangerous.]

Namgung chuckled at his words.

“Are you worried about me?”

[What… It’s just that I’m a contractor.]

Gyu-ryu stepped back slightly as if embarrassed and just shook his head vigorously.

“Take this.”

Namgoong took something out of his arms.

[This is…]

“The few leaves of the World Tree left. I received it in exchange for the fairy tribe’s alliance. “Take it to Muhwi and tell him to brew it and drink it every five hours for three days.”

Gyu-ryu tilted his head, twirling the small leaf that Namgung gave him.

[This is really hard to get… But why are you giving this to your father? That monster-like Yaksha doesn’t even hurt.]

“You don’t know that. Well, you’ll replace out soon anyway, but for now, don’t ask anything, just hand it over.”

[Hmm… I understand.]

He looked at Namgung as he put the leaf in his arms.

[Now, what is the reason you have in mind? I guess it’s my job to make plans based on that.]

“You’re quick to notice.”

Namgung nodded as if he liked it.

“After the proxy auction, the proxy clans revealed their respective contractors.”

[That’s right.]

“Thanks to their activities, some cities suffered quite a bit of damage.”

Jincheon of Hong Kong, Yang Wei of Singapore, Sajid of Istanbul…. The

eight contractors played an active role in the monster invasion and became famous along with Namgung.

But not everyone participated in the battle.

“The giant’s contractor didn’t show up. “Why?”

[Well… that’s because contractors don’t necessarily have to fight monsters, so they may not appear.]

“Like the Aspects, they didn’t directly select the Revelators, but they survived through an auction. “Those people ran away from the monster invasion?”

[Uhm….]

“I guess I should turn on the fire in my eyes and hunt monsters, not out of heroism but out of greed to become stronger.”

Namgung spoke to him.

“Was there anything strange while the auction was going on?”

[That’s a strange point…]

Gyu-ryu rubbed his chin and searched for memories.

[I don’t know if I should call this strange, but…]

“What is it?”

[After the candidates were selected and before the proxy auction began, the giants chose their own contractor first on the condition of giving up the other candidates.]

“Is that possible?”

[It is possible if the candidates want it and a mutual decision is made. Namgoong said the same thing.]

Namgoong nodded.

[Well, there’s no reason to refuse anything since you’re a contractor for the giants.]

“Where is the contractor from?”

[It’s called Venezuela. I wonder if they chose South America because the giants are under jurisdiction… But can we say this is strange?]

“The more chaotic the city is, the less surprising it is that people are dying.”

[…Yes?]

He looked at Gyu-ryu.

“Just as there is no law that says a contractor must fight a monster, there is no law that says the agent’s clan must help the contractor.”

[…What does that mean?]

“The carnival is not the reason why the proxy clan selects contractors. “It is to make them stronger, strengthen the clan’s power, and win the Octagon War.”

[There is a reason for that, but the proxy clan does not just use contractors.]

“I know. At least you don’t. That’s why I chose you.”

[Auctions are the only privilege of the proxy clan… but instead, we are being auctioned. So…]

Gyu-ryu shook his head as if embarrassed by Namgung’s words.

[But why are you suddenly saying that?]

“Think about it. “If the contractor’s goal is to win the Octagon War, that doesn’t necessarily mean the contractor has to become stronger.”

[….]

“Because the clan itself, not the contract holder, needs to become stronger.”

[This, this… it smells somehow. And it smells really bad.]

Gyu-ryu wandered around Namgung with his nostrils flaring.

“Giants eat human flesh.”

Just-!!

[Now I understand.]

Gyu-ryu snapped his fingers.

“Try to make a good board.”

* * *

Rakanheim.

The Titan’s sanctuary beneath the great canyon.

Unlike the bright fairy world or the majestic Yasha world, this place filled with giant rocks and sandy winds at the bottom of the canyon did not seem to be a place where people could live.

Boom… Boom…

Namgung looked up at the canyon lined with huge, strange rocks. A heavy sound coming from the winding rocky mountain.

It felt as if something heavy had been struck, but it was the sound of giants’ footsteps.

Compared to him, Namgung was climbing the mountain with very light steps

.

“….”

It didn’t take long before the scenery changed around the slope. Instead of the scattered rocks, his eyes caught the sight of corpses scattered here and there.

There was no need to explain whose body it was.

Jeop- Jeok- Jeok-

Namgung passed the corpses and started walking further. The ground soaked in the blood of the corpses turned red.

Boom… Coo…

The sound of footsteps coming intermittently was getting closer and closer. This meant that Rakanheim, the territory of the giants, was not far away.

“It stinks.”

It wasn’t the rotten smell that emanated from the corpses all around me. It was a delicious smell of grilling meat that did not match the acid of the corpse.

Namgung

looked at the giants sitting at the entrance to Rakanheim.

They were eating something.

A huge bonfire like a mountain was lit, and a skewer made of wooden poles was placed on top of it.

The size of the skewers was as large as the guys, so the pieces of meat that were cut into pieces were almost as big as a person.

Munch-munch-munch-

No, it was a person.

The guys were happily devouring human meat by shoving skewers into their mouths.

“Is it delicious?”

When Namgung’s voice was heard, the giants turned their heads and looked at him.

“…human?”

“Was there still anything left?”

The giants, who were looking at him with puzzled expressions, stood up awkwardly and approached Namgung.

“This guy doesn’t look very appetizing.”

“Should I just crumple it up and play ball?”

“Is this a good idea? LOL!!”

“I couldn’t even see the human world because Titan told me to stay quiet.”

“Good good!”

The three one-eyed giants started clapping and liking each other. The moment

I

was laughing and chatting, I heard an eerie sound. The giant standing in front of Namgung looked at him with a puzzled expression and lowered his head.

puck!! Degurrrrrr….

Namgoong pushed with his foot and one of his big toes rolled down the slope. He belatedly realized that it was his.

“Ha, feet smell. “You can’t even eat it, you bastard.”

“This profit…!!!”

Deep!!

Instead of responding to the giant who was about to shout, Namgung plunged his sword between his knee joints.

“Kaaaaaaah!!!”

Namgung, ignoring the giant’s screams, jumped up, stepping on the embedded sword like a stepping stone, climbed on top of the giant’s head, and punched its only eyeball.

Wow!!!

Thick liquid poured out of the guy’s eyes like a broken egg.

“Ahh!! Aaaaaaaaaah!!!”

The giant, unable to even scream due to the extreme pain, began to flail with his arms.

“Hey hey hey!!”

“be careful!!”

The remaining two giants frowned and stepped back at the outstretched arms.

Wow-!! Quaaaaang-!!

But it seemed like it couldn’t bear the pain and started destroying everything it touched.

“Are humans delicious? You guys are tasteless.”

Namgung grabbed the long hair like a reed forest from the top of the shaking guy’s head.

The giants who were the winners of the Octagon War.

Just before the Titans were elevated to status, they disappeared completely from the world.

The day a man learned that their strength was due to human flesh.
