Chapter 453 A Brilliant Light That Wasn’t a Misunderstanding
.
Formidable momentum.
A blow with indescribable attributes mixed together.
-Pahaaaaaaa!
In the intense light, you can even feel the illusion that the surroundings have become dark for an instant.
The difference in native size has lost its meaning.
The blade of light, which had grown huge with sword steel, was enough to sever Diret from the top of his head.
-Kung
Diret knelt down.
The sword landed right above his head.
There was a nasty smell of burning hair, but no one frowned.
He just stood there with his mouth open.
“…ah.”
Dereth makes a dumb noise.
As the sword approached, I saw his eyes widen.
He lost his will to fight because of his irresistible power, and I recognized his feelings through his expression and power.
Deciding that there was no need to kill him, he stopped his sword right before splitting his head.
-Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
when the power is released, the energy surrounding the sword becomes fragments and disappears.
A fragment of magical power that scatters in various colors.
I retrieved the Chaos Sword and put it in the scabbard.
Like a lie, the light disappeared and the world returned to its original form.
If there’s anything that’s changed from before the battle, it’s that the surroundings have become quieter.
“Tell me if you really want to see the end. I will do it for you.”
“No, no.”
Diete shook his head.
It was a short moment, but it was an expression that realized the gap. Seeing that the corner of my mouth is slightly raised, I think I have proved myself.
Not just for the guy. It was also a proof for myself.
‘It works even on the 80th floor.’
When I first climbed the tower, I hadn’t even thought of being on the 80th floor.
A place that is clearly above the 70th floor, which is the standard for upper floors. I was feeling a little uneasy.
It was obvious that the level of other climbers and NPC worshipers would be high as well, as the level was raised based on the 80th floor.
Although I fought with Gregory on the 81st floor, it was a situation where there was a misunderstanding between us, and it was difficult to say that it was a real battle because he did not want to kill me, but to capture me.
On the other hand, this guy tried to get into a fight where it would be okay to kill each other.
Knowing my level was important. Dealing with the monsters that appear in the Fall is important, but there is one stumbling block in climbing.
worshipers.
‘There is a gold level from the 80th floor onwards.’
A tier that divides worshipers. Among them, there are those who belong to the upper ranks and have silver rank worshipers.
Yuheda and Daybond, who have been climbing and heard about, must also be somewhere on the 80th floor.
There must be more than them. What if you go beyond the 80th floor and go to the 90th floor?
‘At that time, the diamond grade will wait.’
i don’t know anything about this
They are monsters that give blessings to silver ranks even if they reach gold rank right now, but how strong is the diamond rank?
What if we went one step further from there?
Worshipers’ defeat. The top is empty. Is the diamond grade the end? Or is there someone I can’t express?
I guess I’ll have to find out for myself.
Anyway…
“Awesome.”
“I knew it wasn’t normal, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.”
The confrontation with Diret ended in a slightly bland but impactful way.
The mountain giants, who were preparing to intervene if it was deemed dangerous, admired a little, and the members of the Black Rat organization, who were positioned so that they could fight without interruption, kept their mouths shut.
Although it is not expressed in words, there is a sense of tension and interest, and for some reason there is a sense of anticipation.
“Introduce yourself properly. My name is Diret, the leader of the Black Rats in charge of District 4 of the Undercity.”
“It’s Evil Eye.”
“I don’t know the details of the prophecy, but I’m sure you’re no ordinary being. I was honestly amazed. Thank you for your mercy.”
What else do you have to be thankful for?
Some have shown mercy, but their intentions are different.
It’s better to keep him alive than to kill him.
After his death, it is unknown whether the existing members of the Black Rat organization will remain still, and if the leader of the faction in charge of this area disappears, the forces in other areas may wander around.
I don’t want to waste my time in useless disputes over interests. My goal is to finish the chapter safely.
‘In order to do that, I must not cause unnecessary friction with the guys in the Under City.’
I used this place as a stepping stone to confront the worshipers active in Giantpolis, but it’s worse than not doing it when a problem breaks out inside.
It’s like having enemies both outside and inside.
“good night. I believe you are a figure in the prophecy. I have seen it clearly with my own eyes, so I have nothing more to say. Besides…”
His eyes deepened.
what do you see It seems to be looking at me, but the focus is unclear.
I don’t think it’s just bruising.
“Among the giants, there are those who see the target’s aura with the power of mystery. me too. Although I can’t see it clearly.”
The tattoo on the guy’s body wriggles.
I wondered what he was doing because he hadn’t solved the magic yet, but he seemed to be checking me with something magical.
“Variety of powers. Something natural yet intense. Is this a mysterious being? There is also a slight smell of fairies and spirit beasts. I can see the image of a winged being in another world.”
When you say winged beings, do you mean angels or devils?
The smell of the beast must be the beastmen I met in Daelimwon.
I saw it right Even fairies and spirit beasts, demons and angels. Because there is a friend title with other races too.
Come to think of it, I feel like I’ve become friends with almost all the races I’ve met.
This can be happen. Maybe other people are similar? Or not.
“You and the guys from the mountains will be in trouble if you fight with determination.”
“don’t worry. Because I have no idea what to do. Let’s be some kind of partner. It’s our first time here.”
“We specialize in this floor. Okay, we need to talk a little bit.”
As Dereth undone the spell and beckoned, the other gang members also lost their combat stance and retreated.
“Do you need to go far? Let’s go into the bar and talk.”
It seems that there will be a commotion, and onlookers will flock to it.
He wore a mask and put on a hood.
I have no intention of exposing my identity externally.
After visiting, I should say that in the giant world, deceiving your identity like this was effective and less suspicious.
“Go inside. There were no guests at all.”
“Who is that guy?”
“hmm?”
At Diret’s words, the eyes of the giants were directed to one side.
A person who was kicked out for drinking at the timing bar we came to.
He was the one who was crouching in the corner without being able to escape when a fight started suddenly.
Come to think of it, does that guy even know my identity?
“Aha ha ha ha. oh my. drunk I have to go home.”
“Stop moving. Bring him in too.”
“I didn’t see anything! I can’t even hear you! that’s right I can’t even see!”
When the gang members approached Diret’s order, they resisted, making unacceptable excuses.
“Quietly follow me before I really do that.”
A word of intimidation silences them.
After all, the fist is closer than the law. Dereth, that guy is really good enough to do.
The image of the already big guys grabbing the drunk from both sides and dragging them in was a criminal, but what?
“I will sell myself.”
Was it nearby?
we went inside
* * *
Tavern Peak Cabin.
The inside was nothing special. Because he was from a mountain range, he built a building in the form of a cabin.
I don’t know where the logs came from, but it seems to have a certain atmosphere.
It wasn’t stuffed with glowstones, but it was lit with lamps, so a cozy and warm atmosphere was created…
‘This isn’t a mountain hut, it feels like you’ve seen bandits, right?’
It was bloody when the black rat gang members with stern faces and tattoos and Gregory, who exuded a wild energy unique to the mountains, sat down.
In the meantime, the drunken person who was caught is sitting on the floor watching his eyes.
I was told to sit on a chair, but the person himself said that this was comfortable, and he politely knelt down and raised his hand.
Anyone who sees it will know that it was a threat.
“…I have a family.”
“Who said what?”
“Who is your family? If you’re bored being alone, tell me. I will bring you.”
“Oh no! Actually, I needed some alone time.”
Why do you open your mouth if you can’t even find a match?
He let out a small sigh and continued his story.
“So, even within the Undercity, how many factions are connected with the doom advocates?”
“Area 1 and 3 are like that.”
“District 5 is in a similar position to us, but District 2, which is sandwiched between the two, must be paying attention.”
“Even if it’s not there, there are advocates who are trying to sneak inside.”
Divided into 5 zones. Two of them seem to have a close relationship with worshipers as their main customers.
Since the Undercity itself was created mainly by immigrants, there is no good feeling for the worshipers, but when it comes to business relationships, the story is different.
I have no foundation as much as I abandoned my hometown, so I have to do something to make a living.
If there’s anything fortunate…
“The Giant Police don’t take us very seriously. Even those in District 13 don’t go outside.”
“There’s nothing good about bothering you.”
“Because they are a threat. Our main customers are those who are looking for goods and services that are not available in the sun.”
“For example?”
“Ingredients of forbidden magic and curse materials Simple manpower services. Would you understand?”
He nodded.
The roles of the giants, the earth, and the black market are fixed.
I am not interested in the details. I’m not trying to be a black market tycoon.
The important thing is this.
“Where are the worshipers outside?”
“It is more like a religion. Some of the tribes had stories of the end, so I was the first to embrace them.”
It means that we haven’t captured all the giants yet.
okay. I get a rough sense of it. They haven’t completely taken control of this place yet.
“I know they are talking bullshit. Here is the one who refuses in the end times ahead.”
“I lived only on looting, so who would have known that I would get involved in something like this.”
“We are also making a mark in history.”
“I think it gives you a chance to wash away your sins.”
Those who were silent at first were excited now.
The expectation that it may be the main axis to prevent the end.
Diret, with a serious expression, opens the map.
Under City. Where each area is divided.
“I said we would take the Under City. In order to do that, we first need to isolate the two areas we just talked about. There are places where worshipers are not welcome.”
Took. The guy pointed a finger at one place.
“The guys from District 5 especially hate it. This is where I can go and negotiate. Since you exist, the story will work.”
“All that’s left is to grow in size while supporting the kids in District 2.”
“Yes.”
Area 2 sandwiched between Areas 1 and 3.
In a way, it is a position that is shrinking because it is stuck between the lines, but what if you give them strength?
‘At that time, we can isolate zones 1 and 3 based on zone 2.’
After that, it’s enough to attack one area at a time.
When Diret says he’s heading to District 5, Gregory and I have to move to District 2.
If the black rat organization moves, it can be taken as an attack, so this is correct.
The problem is, I don’t know anything about Area 2.
“That’s me. In fact, I came over from District 2. It’s a bit tight.”
“hmm?”
The giant on the floor carefully raised his hand.
“If you buy me, I will take care of you.”
If you think you’re misunderstanding something and it comes out like that…
“Yeah, but keep that in mind. There is no life if you do nonsense.”
“Nenep! Of course!”
I can’t help but leave it as a misunderstanding.
When I spoke with a frown on my face, the giants and Deokchun looked at me with puzzled expressions.
what. why. what
