517. Eighth Return District (2)
Koouuuuu!
The Guardians knelt down in unison. The earth roared as if an earthquake had occurred.
Taesan looked at them without saying anything.
“ Wow…
“Awesome…
People whisper when they see them. As the number reached 100 million,
it became a big noise even though it was a very small whisper.
One kneeling man frowned.
“It is unpleasant. Those things dare to watch us like clowns…
“Uh huh.”
Akrasian restrained the man.
“It is in front of a great person. Be polite.”
“sorry.”
His attitude
didn’t seem very serious. It was more like a polite warning because Taesan was in front of them.
“I don’t think this place is suitable for talking. May I change places?”
“There is no need for that.”
Taesan snapped her fingers.
The earth moved.
Like a rail, it pushed everyone except Taesan and the Guardians away. And a huge wall started to rise.
Koo Goo Goo!
In an instant, a huge space was created with only Taesan and the Guardians.
The Guardians’ pupils widen. Taesan claps. Hundreds of Guardians instantly felt the sensation of being suppressed by force.
dump.
At some point, a chair made of soil appeared in their place one by one.
All of them sat down on their chairs against their will. The series of processes
took place
very naturally, as if the world itself belonged to Mount Tai .
no. In fact, it was. Now Mount Tai is the god of the earth.
“Your legs will hurt, so sit down.”
“…yes yes.”
Akrasian’s voice trembled. I could see various emotions in the eyes toward Taesan.
“so.”
Taesan said without emotion.
“Who are you?”
“We are the Guardians.”
“What do you protect?”
“It is space.”
Akrasian confidently said with pride.
“We are a group that protects the universe from the threat of Gosin.”
Taesan looked at them blankly.
not weak
All of them had decent strength. Akrasian in particular was the best among them.
“The great one…
“Kang Tae-san.”
“Thank you for allowing me to honor you. Kang Tae-san is also familiar with it. Goshin is invading many worlds. Taesan Kang’s world also seems to be one of them.”
The number of worlds destroyed by Goshin easily exceeds two hundred. It could have reached three hundred now.
“And even great people cannot intervene recklessly in a world invaded by old gods.”
The transcendental person directly intervenes and
distorts the balance. As much as a powerful force intervenes, there is room for the gods to intervene.
So, transcendentalists used Taishan as a proxy and sent them to countless worlds.
Taesan knew what the guardians were like.
“You are agents.”
“Unfortunately, they chose us. Following their wishes, we are protecting and defending the world from being invaded by the gods.”
Akrasian’s face
showed pride and pride.
“With their instructions, we moved to a world that was being invaded by the Gods and saved countless worlds.”
“This time, this world became the target.”
“yes.”
Akrasian nodded.
“We are here to close the rift in the sky and save this world. Great one.”
These are the ones the wizard said came to help.
The general situation was grasped. However, Taesan couldn’t help but question.
“You said you would close the crack in the sky?”
“Of course we can’t. However, the Transcendent One helped us.”
As Akrasian chanted briefly, the space opened.
Kiyin.
It was a small disc.
Numerous metaphysical
symbols were written on the disk. The power of the transcendent was felt in it.
It was quite powerful. Today’s Mount Tai could not be analyzed right away. Ah Krasian said while inserting the disk.
“It is not possible for Transcendentalists to intervene directly, but it is possible to intervene using the holy relics in this way. You can seal the rift by placing a total of four discs directly under the rift in the sky and performing a ritual for a certain amount of time.”
“How long does the seal last?”
“As long as the transcendental person who gave the holy relic does not disappear, it will be forever.”
Akrasian spoke calmly.
It can close the rift in the dreaded sky.
Earth can be freed from the monster menace.
“….”okay?”
It was a very good thing. Does this mean that the Earth will be liberated once this return is over? It was the fact that he could fulfill his long-cherished wish.
But something got stuck.
It was somehow annoying, as if there was a foreign object stuck in my throat. A tiny bit of intuition got on a nerve.
Seeing that Taesan was silent, Akrasian confidently patted his chest, probably misunderstanding something.
“You don’t have to worry. You are a great person. We are the Guardians.”
What was contained in his voice was pride that could not be hidden.
“We have protected many worlds. The Great One is powerful beyond comparison with the likes of us.
But it’s an understatement, but we are experts in this field.”
assurance.
and conceit.
“With a little help from the Great One, we can easily save this world.”
Taesan, who was looking at Akrasian, opened his mouth.
“How much do you know about this world?”
” yes?” “
Do you know
what this place is and what it is ?”
“Isn’t this world being destroyed by the old gods?”
It was a face that asked what could be more.
Taesan knew what they were like. There was no need to use reconnaissance.
I don’t bother talking It was neither worth nor needed.
Taesan opened his mouth.
“Please take good care of me.”
* * *
[Guardian. When my world was destroyed, those guys didn’t come.]
“Because the universe is wide.”
Diana answered Bard Ray’s question.
“There are so many worlds that have been destroyed by Gosins. And there are far more invaded worlds than that. A group of hundreds of guardians. We cannot protect
all worlds.”
“These are the things I don’t like.”
Beldencia frowned. There was hostility on that face toward the Guardian.
[Looks like he knows.]
“Yes.”
Diana agreed.
“They came to our world too.”
[…huh? Wasn’t that world destroyed by Gosin?]
“That’s right. Our world
was destroyed by unknown environmental changes. By the way… I didn’t understand it properly, but the Guardians came to visit me once.”
[But your world.]
The world of Diana and Beldencia was destroyed at the end of pleasure.
Diana smiled sadly.
“I can’t like them. They are definitely righteous people. But it’s not particularly good.”

“Wow…
” Cool.”
A huge crowd had formed around the Guardians.
People whispered and looked at the Guardians.
There was longing and wonder in those eyes.
was an alien Diana and Belden Kia are also aliens, but
the experience was different between the two of them alone and the group.
Even more so, these are the guardians who came to save them.
They were the ones who saved countless worlds. Most of the rough information was known because Taesan had talked to Kim Hwi-yeon.
Players were curious and kind to the Guardians.
A man of courage approached them first.
The Guardians were all talking among themselves and taking a break.
“Hello me?”
A quiet voice echoed through the group of Guardians.
No answer came back.
The Guardians still talked among themselves.
The face of the one who mustered up the courage to disregard so completely turned red in an instant.
“uh. hey?”
Asked again, but no answer came back. It wasn’t that the conversation didn’t work. They could understand what the Guardians were saying .
They too will be the same. It meant deliberately ignoring it.
In the end, the person who spoke did not do anything and returned.
It was the same after that. There were those who had courage, but the answer never came back. They were completely ignoring it as if it didn’t exist.
“I don’t like it.”
Amelia frowned.
“what? that attitude. Isn’t it like you don’t want to mix things up with us
? How can they be nobles?”
“Umm… But since you’re here to help us… First of all, we need to build a good relationship. Are you a guardian? He must have that kind of strength, so it will definitely be of great help.”
Those who protected countless worlds. You will have enough strength. Kim Hwi-yeon murmured under that thought.
But Amelia’s reaction was something different.
“…help? Mmm. It might work, but… I don’t know.”
Amelia murmured softly.
“what. There won’t be anything bad about it.”
Kim Hwi-yeon desperately comforted people. Confusion and anxiety were controlled, and people gathered in preparation for the upcoming quest.
Opinions were never reconciled, but a new quest appeared.
[Special quest begins.]
[You have to move under the rift that spreads in the sky. Deal with the monsters that appear, move forward and move on. And arrive at the bottom of the rift.]
[Condition: All player guardians must arrive at the rift location.]
[Reward: Differential payment according to performance when returning to the labyrinth.]
The appearance of the quest.
This quest had to go right under the rift. Kim Hwi-yeon quickly called and identified people.
“Where is the crack?”
“This is Greenland.”
“Greenland…
It wasn’t too far. At least it was much closer than on the other side of the globe.
After confirming the location, Kim Hwi-yeon set up a rank and prepared to lead the people out.
and that moment.
“What are you doing?”
Akrasian spoke to Kim Hwi-yeon.
Hwiyeon Kim was taken aback. She had talked to Akrasian before. First of all, since we are leaders, it was to coordinate our opinions.
But Akrasian didn’t answer anything.
In the end, she had no choice but to return without much success.
But suddenly you’re talking Kim Hwi-yeon was quickly taken aback.
“Because we have to move to the rift in the sky. I was setting a rank for him. If you don’t mind, you too…
“No.”
Akrasian cut off Kim Hwi-yeon’s words.
“I don’t need your opinions.”
“….yes?”
“Your job is to follow our orders. That is all.”
Cold words echoed. Kim Hwi-yeon was taken aback. Akrasian’s words were even hostile. She barely managed to control her embarrassment and opened her mouth.
“What do you mean…
”We saved dozens of worlds from the hands of the late god. On the other hand, you are now in this poor world. I am fidgeting because I can’t even get one.” There was
deep contempt in his voice
.
“How much more, there are great people here. Even so, the situation still hasn’t been sorted out. That means you are of no help to him.”
At those words, Kim Hwi-yeon could not refute.
She was feeling it too. In the end, Taesan was solving everything. They didn’t help him much.
“We came after saving countless worlds.”
Akrasian proudly shouted.
There was no doubt in that voice.
“Your experience and advice. To us, it’s like the bullshit of a three-year-old. All you have to do is follow us. That is all.”
A declaration full of conviction resounds. A voice full of confidence that only those who have achieved numerous achievements can produce.
everyone shuts up There was an arrogance in that voice that suppressed everyone.
“I’ve been curious about something since we first met
.”
Amelia’s voice echoed in the silence.
“You? You saved countless worlds from the Gods?”
“Yes.”
Akrasian proudly affirmed. Amelia couldn’t hide her doubt even more.
“Only like you?”
