Episode 509. Damcheonwoo (2)
As always I was able to figure out the situation without difficulty.
I found out most of the story I wanted to know from Roman the manager ‘the beast of the wilderness’ and the contractor and god of lore.
Maybe it was because I showed that I was a strong person who was different from them but without even asking them one by one they did not hesitate to spit out all the information they knew.
[The manager ‘Beast of the Wilderness’ is breaking out into a cold sweat and barely licking his lips.]
“…It’s more than this. This is all we know about the ‘resurrected person’ of the 46th floor trial. As you know the ordeal has just begun—”
Well because of that the leopard beast manager ‘Beast of the Wilderness’ had to add unnecessary excuses but he didn’t have any major complaints so he lightly dismissed it.
“whatever. I just wanted to hear what you guys know. “Don’t attach unnecessary attachments.”
“okay. All right. You are a person who prefers practical conversations. “Let’s be careful.”
“no. it’s okay. Now that won’t happen. Anyway I think I heard everything I wanted to hear from you guys. “I don’t want to waste time.”
“….”
I could roughly understand it.
I have also completed my own speculation as to how the 46th floor integration trial was reorganized according to the law of precognition <Resurrection>.
I narrowed my eyes at Roman who was trembling in fear and the manager of the leopard beast who was sweating like a waterfall next to him.
‘As expected it’s not much different from what I thought.’
Is it because of accumulating all kinds of experiences by repeatedly climbing the Tower of Trials?
Now it is not too difficult to notice the design structure and hidden purpose of the newly reorganized 46th floor trial ‘Resurrection of the Losers’.
The design structure itself is one in which hostile and cooperative teams compete for the ‘resurrectionist’ at the heart of this bloody desert.
‘Resurrected. So… there are teams whose conditions for clearing the ordeal are to kill Dam Cheon-woo and conversely there are teams whose conditions for clearing the ordeal are to help Dam Cheon-woo and perform various missions.’
Well needless to say I am a team whose condition for clearing the ordeal is to kill the ‘resurrected person’ as previously announced in the system message.
‘Challengers or administrators who have met the same trial clear conditions as me can simply kill the resurrected person Dam Cheon-woo and that’s the end.’
However unlike me those who were assigned to help Dam Cheon-woo as a condition for clearing the ordeal have something unclear about them.
‘But that’s just my case. ‘Not only do these guys help Dam Cheon-woo kill the enemy team’s challenger and manager but there is an additional mission to accomplish.’
According to the story that the manager ‘Beast of the Wild’ had just told they had more work to do than help the ‘resurrector’ kill the enemy team’s challenger and manager.
An additional condition for clearing the ordeal is that you must survive until after killing the enemy team members who are moving to kill Dam Cheon-woo for the sake of the ‘Resurrected One’ and cooperate with the revival of the ‘Resurrected One’.
What does it mean that unlike those like me whose condition for clearing the ordeal is killing Dam Cheon-woo an additional condition of surviving is added?
Somehow I felt like I already knew the answer.
“under.”
Deja vu.
“You’re persistent.”
At that I narrowed my eyes sneered and muttered as if telling someone to listen.
“Battlefield of the gods. Oh is the War of Gods closer to the base model? Whatever it is the habit of laying out insurance here and there still persists.”
From our point of view the 46th floor trial ‘Resurrection of the Losers’ which was newly reorganized according to this preconceived law <Resurrection> had many familiar aspects in many ways.
“Were you trying to prepare several substitutes that could be used in my place even if I didn’t show up?”
“….”
“You nasty bastard.”
“….”
It was a very cold self-talk.
Well I was saying this as a mockery to the Tower of Trials outside…
It seemed like crazy mumbling to the manager of the leopard beast and the challenger with only one head on his shoulder who heard it.
For some reason the administrator ‘Beast of the Wilderness’ and the god of lore Roman trembled with fear in his eyes.
[The manager ‘Beast of the Wilderness’ senses that not only the contractor but also himself will be put to death.]
“Well… I know we did something wrong. However I hope that you will show mercy at least once…”
Maybe they think I’ve done my job with them and now it’s their turn to take their lives…
“Boo please! It’s my mistake! Please please! Please save this insignificant life───”
“go away.”
“…yes?”
“Fuck off.”
It wasn’t.
Swish.
Just like that I turned my back on the manager ‘Beast of the Wild’ and Roman the god of victory leaving them alone in the bloody desert.
“Don’t talk to me and just go your own way. Because I have no desire to kill you anymore. By the way if you follow me I will kill you.”
“….”
But…
“…ah? What is this? Why are you keeping us alive? “There’s no reason to keep us alive right?”
Is that why?
The manager the beast of the wilderness a leopard-headed beast who seemed to be concerned about this asked the question out of fear and anxiety.
After hearing those words instead of turning around and going my way I turned my head to look back and briefly recited the reason with a sigh.
“Because it’s meaningless.”
“….”
“Simple. There is no benefit to me if I kill you. That’s why. Well even if that’s not the case you all have separate roles… especially so.”
“No… what is that…? Do you think we have a role to play? “I don’t understand at all what you’re talking about…”
“There’s no need to really understand.”
At the same time I turned my head again and walked in another direction speaking softly.
“Anyway you will all fight as much as you want and die when the time comes.”
“…?”
“In the first place this repechage match itself is just a matter of setting up an assortment. “After some time the ant hell will open and swallow everything and you will all have done your part.”
“….”
and.
“…Then after that we will definitely be able to talk to that person again.”
Swish-!
With that I drew a faint line at the corner of my mouth then took a step forward and suddenly disappeared.
***
bloody desert.
I wandered around the stage of the 46th floor trial ‘Resurrection of the Fallen’ and searched for the locations where the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman were located.
In fact I had already figured out where the two managers were and what they were doing but apart from that I was interested in the bloody desert itself.
‘also. War of the Gods. There is something unfolding that resembles a deterioration that imitates the divine confrontational world that the God of Creation the God of Law and the God of Miracles created together in those days.’
Currently there are two elements that may be interesting within the Blood Desert stage.
The first is that in the sky of the blood-red desert lies a red sphere that looks very similar to the one seen in ‘Battlefield of the Gods.’
And secondly in the blood-red desert there are thin membranes that are similar to the divine realm such as the divine confrontation system created by the God of Creation in the ‘War of the Gods’.
‘I think I know roughly how the law of precepts <Resurrection> is going to create a vessel that will contain Dam Cheon-woo’s consciousness.’
It was thought that he would take over and steal the bodies and minds of others or use the bodies and minds of others as sacrifices to create new vessels but it seems closer to the latter than the former.
“It’s dark and humid.”
I was so dumbfounded that I let out a chuckle and then realized what was going to happen next.
The 46th-floor trial ‘Resurrection of the Losers’ which was newly structured from the beginning through forced intervention in the Tower of Trials was not a story of challengers and managers.
The hostile forces that must kill the ‘Resurrected’ and the friendly forces that must assist the ‘Resurrected’ will both meet the same ending in the end.
Of course.
‘It would take a long time for a challenger or manager like me who has received the conditions to clear the trial to kill Dam Cheon-woo and there is a high possibility of failure to prevent his revival.’
First of all it is clear that the hostile forces that must kill the ‘resurrected person’ will not be able to stop Dam Cheon-woo’s revival.
‘In the opposite case he will succeed in helping Dam Cheon-woo resuscitate but it is obvious that he will not survive and die after that.’
However despite this the friendly forces that help with all kinds of chores next to the ‘resurrected person’ will not survive after Dam Cheon-woo’s revival period.
‘If you think about why an additional condition was placed on the friendly forces helping Damcheonwoo in the first place that they must survive until the end you will find the answer.’
‘Resurrector’.
therefore….
This meant that from the moment Dam Cheon-woo was successfully revived and placed in a new vessel not only hostile forces but also friendly forces would become his nourishment.
If this bloody desert is closer to a project to artificially create ancient deities or transcendents such as ‘Battlefield of the Gods’ and ‘War of the Gods’ the story will definitely flow that way.
Because it was like that until now.
‘Perhaps just as the Tower of Trials in the Battlefield of the Gods tried to promote the God of Victory to an ancient god the Law of Presbyopia <Resurrection> is also trying to make Dam Cheon-woo an ancient god.’
In that case what I have to do is to suppress the ‘Resurrected One’ and prevent him from being reborn as an ancient god.
“….”
I know.
I definitely know what I should do here without anyone telling me.
however.
This ultimately confirms Dam Cheon-woo’s death and means that Dam Cheon-woo who crossed the line of fire together without even talking to him is killed with these hands.
I didn’t want to do that.
“…Well I’m thinking about it now in hindsight but I did spend a long time with that person.”
Since when did it start?
At the Tower of Trials the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword was transformed into the Ego Sword and after the Dark Heavenly Rain took over although they bickered with each other they must have fought together risking their lives.
Meanwhile without realizing it I came to think of Dam Cheon-woo as a colleague with whom I had formed a close relationship.
Well in fact it had to be that way since Damcheonwoo had been with him for a longer period of time than the administrator or the hunters on Earth.
But despite this I had never been able to open up with Dam Cheon-woo and tell each other our stories.
‘…If the Tower of Trials had placed restrictions on revealing information to Dam Cheon-woo I thought it would be natural for him to not be able to discuss past history with me.’
It was just that after talking with Dam Cheon-woo about various things I guessed that he might also be of the same kind.
Becoming stronger.
Pursuing the end of power.
It is about burning oneself with meaning in itself and gaining strength beyond one’s limits.
I thought he was a warrior filled with a pure desire to grow without any regrettable past that he wanted to change like the Iron Blood Lord or the White Crane Swordsman.
However it is nothing more than a delusion that we have concocted on our own based on guesses about a subject we do not really know anything about.
“…under.”
I know very little about Damcheonwoo.
Because we have never talked openly and shared everything with each other.
As a result Dam Cheon-woo did not tell me that he could be revived by creating a new vessel on his own and even though we came this far neither of us had a proper conversation about anything.
That’s why I wanted to listen to it now even if it was belatedly.
“…I never imagined that now we would suddenly reveal our true feelings to each other like this.”
Damcheonwoo.
What on earth did that old challenger want that made him leave so suddenly without even telling me?
If Dam Cheon-woo himself has a secret wish that he really wants to achieve like the Lord of Iron Blood or the White Crane Swordsman what would be the reason for that wish?
And because of that I wanted to face him again and talk to him about whether he wanted to turn against me and fight until he was satisfied and then die.
Only then would I be able to decide what to think of Dam Cheon-woo.
“…I don’t feel bad.”
I closed my eyes and smiled weakly thinking of the moment when I would meet Dam Cheon-woo again.
widely-!
step.
That too is only for a moment.
I soon realized that I was getting quite close to where the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman were so I slowly bent my legs.
‘…is it over there? Judging by the feeling it looks like a large-scale battle has occurred. It seems that the Lord of Iron Blood and the White Crane Swordsman were also involved because of that.’
At the same time this is the moment when this person radiates light power from both legs and easily performs a leap.
Paaaang───!
The scenery in my field of vision changed in an instant like flipping through a photo and I was able to reach the desired location instantly.
Kuhuuung───!!
Explosion and roar.
As I landed in the center of a large-scale battle a violent sandstorm broke out and a physical shock wave swept through the surroundings.
Regardless of whether they were challengers or administrators all those who participated in the large-scale battle were thrown into the distance while letting out painful groans.
Meanwhile the Iron Blood Lord and the White Crane Swordsman who had easily withstood the shock wave caused by landing on the ground were seen widening their eyes.
As if that wasn’t enough when they saw this person appear they each expressed their happiness in their own way for a short period of time.
[The Lord of Iron Blood Canary Rugfeld laughs at your unconventional appearance.]
[Baek Seol-hwa the white crane swordsman spots you and waves her hand with a big smile.]
‘…As expected they are both high-ranking deities so it looks like they are not injured in any way.’
When I saw that I also secretly smiled after confirming that the two managers were not injured in any way during the large-scale battle.
A feeling close to pride or pride rises.
However it was not yet time to have a leisurely conversation and express my pleasure at meeting those two managers.
That’s because like the strong people who have climbed this far in the Tower of Trials they hurriedly adjusted their posture and prepared to respond as if they were okay with being rotten.
“…Keheuuu! Cluck cluck! …Holy shit! “What happened!”
“—Tsk! …What kind of guy’s power is this fucking strong!! “Who is that guy?”
“It’s me. How do you know that? But just by looking at it you’re not on our side are you idiots? “Just shut up and kill me!”
That’s not enough there are many people who don’t even care about my appearance and want to attack in a hurry.
It doesn’t even matter whether it is a hostile or friendly force to the ‘Resurrected’.
Do they think that just killing them for now is enough no matter what happened?
Numerous challengers and managers are launching a murderous attack without a single word.
However despite this the countless onslaughts full of murderous intent pouring in from all directions could not even reach this side and the lightly released divinity and spirit burst out.
And that too very easily.
Twaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
At the same time they all fell into the distance unable to withstand the divinity and spirit that I exuded.
Kuhwaak—!
But…
“Gwaeeeeeeee!!”
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!!”
“Weeeeeek-!! My head my head-! It feels like it’s going to explode…!! “Wow!!”
Have I failed to control my strength?
The challengers and administrators who were hit directly by the divinity and soul lightly emitted by this side screamed in pain and vomited blood.
Since there are many people who have achieved the hierarchy of divinity by climbing the Tower of Trials they seem to have realized how great the level of divinity and soul I possess is.
Perhaps because of that the surroundings suddenly became filled with fear and soon a heavy silence fell.
Jump and jump….
But even for a moment.
“What are you doing? Until just now you were going on a rampage with the intent to kill everyone without distinction right? “I don’t understand why everyone is so frozen all of a sudden.”
“….”
I walked forward with a sneer at him narrowed my eyes and gave him a cold look.
“I think there are some among you whose condition for clearing the trial is to kill the ‘resurrected person’…”
“….”
“this. I guess that’s a good thing? Even though the conditions for clearing the trials are the same do you think we are enemies? “It’s absurd.”
“….”
“It’s me.”
Even though people who have the same ordeal clearing conditions work together and put a lot of effort into defeating the ‘Resurrected One’ it’s not enough and they’re fighting like that which makes me laugh out loud.
Of course I can guess why they are acting like that.
Perhaps rather than considering each other as colleagues and having each other’s backs during this ordeal on the 46th floor they thought it would be a good idea to reduce competitors in advance for the future.
In fact they were ruthlessly fighting among themselves not even realizing that their own feet were on fire.
“Well is this a good thing? Thanks to you guys my worries are gone. “There’s no need to think deeply or even move anymore.”
Originally we came here with the intention of finding and killing each and every hostile force of the ‘Resurrected’.
Aside from the friendly forces of the ‘Resurrectionist’ if I step forward and kill the hostile forces it will speed up Dam Cheon-woo’s revival period.
It was for the same reason that those who had been given the conditions for clearing the trials as friendly forces of the ‘Resurrected’ were saved earlier…
Now that I think about it there seems to be no need to distinguish whether they are the hostile or friendly forces of the ‘Resurrected’.
I think it would be enough to just kill them however they want.
“If you kill every single person you see whether it’s a challenger or a manager until the time is right you will quickly get the results you want.”
That means only one thing.
“It’s annoying but it’s simple so it’s not bad.”
It’s no different….
Sigh-.
[The god of transcendence and death looks at the enemies in front of me with a pleasant smile.]
[ ─I think it would be better for me to wipe out everyone at once rather than trying to save some and kill others. ]
It was massacre.
***
How much time has passed?
When I repeated hundreds of times I prayed for the energy of divinity and soul to continue to accumulate in the red sphere floating high in the sky.
A heartbeat rang out from a red egg located on the top floor of a huge tall black pavilion in the heart of the blood desert.
Excited….
and.
Blink—!
As the red egg developed a large crack the incident occurred even faster.
Goooo───!
In the blink of an eye the red sphere floating high in the sky above the blood-red desert is shattered and the pure divinity and soul energy accumulated within it completely seeps into the red egg.
Puhwaak───!
At the same time a crack formed in the red egg broke and someone’s hand rose up from inside it and continued to struggle.
Wiggle wiggle….
In an instant someone used the thick shell of the red egg as support and pressed it down with both hands revealing a new form soaked in blood.
Grrrgh.
The moment when a black-haired man wearing a long robe so red that it reminded me of the color of blood pulls his body out of the red egg.
───.
Centering around the place where the man was standing an incredibly sacred and spiritual energy resonated far away.
[….]
and.
A power so powerful that it resonates throughout the universe.
Realizing what that meant the man opened her closed eyes and gently made her smile.
[ …under. What a naughty guy. I barely succeeded in shaking off my foolish illusions about life. Why didn’t you finish your mission? ]
It was simple.
[The blood god laughs bitterly upon realizing that he has succeeded in being resurrected as a new vessel.]
[ …As expected you have a really nasty mentality. Seongyoon Han. ]
Damcheonwoo.
The old challenger within the Blood Heavenly Demon Sword has finally been resurrected as a new vessel.
…And that too with the power of an ancient godhead said to be the strongest in the entire universe something that cannot even be compared to the past.
