Episode 190 [Last Junction – 3]
—————————
The tip of Lee Hyun-wook’s left hand was aimed at the necromancer.
Immediately after, a violent wind blew from the distant sky, and a ray of light shot fiercely towards the guy.
Huh—ugh——!
100t Legendary Dragon Slayer Holy Sword… It is a strike with all the strongest options.
A sufficient preheating process was performed for this single shot. It was for this moment that I took out all the undead that were protecting him and attacked him like crazy, destroying half of his magic shield.
‘I won’t be able to avoid it now.’
Even though Lee Hyun-wook thought so, he concentrated as much as possible to counterattack the necromancer’s resistance.
But this guy… was surprisingly confused and just covered his face with his hands?
In other words, he seemed to have completely lost the will to fight. Such an appearance was very unexpected even for Lee Hyun-wook. How could that necromancer become so weak after facing just one failure?…
‘But it’s not that I don’t understand.’
Lee Hyun-wook knew a miserable boy who was hidden behind the terrible name of Necromancer.
A biological weapon created by evil people not of their own will… Therefore, it might be the true form of the puppet necromancer who could not be revealed because he had never been defeated until now.
‘And that’s… the last thing I saw.’
Still, I didn’t feel sorry for him.
But right before Mowglai pounced on that guy—
Chu—Ack——!
“Oops!”
A huge hand came out from behind the guy’s back.
“-huh?”
The moment the gigantic palm unfolded, dozens of magic circles sprouted up and distorted the space. As a result, the Mowglei were flown away not through physical force but through the curvature of space—
and— !
It only grazed the bone mask and fell to the floor.
‘What kind of magic is that?’
Still, an enormous amount of energy flowed through the ground, turning it upside down and causing its body to bounce.
When the creature got up from the ground, the bone mask split in two and fell, revealing its face.
“Ugh… .”
He had a young face that had not yet shed its boyish appearance. It was hard to believe that he had driven a world to destruction, but his eyes were bloodshot and weak, as if he was about to burst into tears.
The guy glanced at Lee Hyun-wook with dejected eyes—
“I really… I can’t do it alone.”
He said that again as if he was pleading with someone.
“Yes…”
He even nodded as if he was listening to someone’s answer.
‘…Who on earth are you talking to?’
Lee Hyun-wook felt ominous at that point and moved Moglei again.
‘I just hope he has a mental breakdown.’
But then—
“Kwaaaa——!”
The guy let out a loud scream and blood poured out from the back of his neck.
Something long pierced the skin and started writhing.
Chuchuchuchu——
‘…Tentacle?’
It was a strange barrel worthy of being called that.
There was a red eyeball at the end.
Gurgling – Gurgling –
It looked up at Hyunwook Lee.
He frowned at that disgusting gaze.
‘What is that…’
And that information was visible in Lee Hyun-wook’s eyes.
– Quasi-transcendental body (Demonization in progress)
This time, it was a ‘quasi-transcendental body’ again. In other words, it meant that they were the same type as the ‘dimensional shifters’ that appeared earlier.
‘Then at least he’s a player…’
But no matter how you looked at it, it didn’t look human.
However, it didn’t look like a polymorph or body deformation.
It just feels like a strange monster.
Another strange thing was that instead of the level, the words ‘Demonization in progress’ were written.
Lee Hyun-wook could hardly fathom its meaning.
‘From now on, things will be outside of my experience and things I don’t know will come out. … You have to be nervous.’
At that time—
“I didn’t mean to appear this quickly… This world is really strangely twisted.”
It made a strange voice and there was a moment of silence. Everyone here couldn’t figure out what the hell that was, so they couldn’t say anything and just looked at each other.
“…What are you?”
The person who asked that question was Lee Seong-yoon, and his voice rang out softly through loudspeaker magic.
Then the tentacle’s eyeballs turned and looked at Seongyoon Lee.
“Ah—my old friend Seongyun! “I didn’t expect to see you again so soon, but I’m glad to see you.”
“What? “A friend… are you talking about me?”
The tentacle’s eyeball made a laughing sound as if it was a joke.
However, that strange greeting was a big hint to Lee Hyun-wook.
‘Wait a minute, if he’s a villain, controls a necromancer, and says he’s a friend to Lee Seong-yoon…’ As far as
Lee Hyun-wook knows, there’s only one player who meets all those conditions.
‘…Could it be Gordon Price?’
Did that guy end up exploiting necromancers and end up becoming a parasite?
‘But this is just a shallow guess.’
Looking at such a bizarre appearance, it was a bit of a stretch to project Gordon Price.
Hmph——
At that moment, the pupils of the tentacle’s eyes dilated, and two huge hands sprouted from behind the Necromancer’s back, emitting red rays of light. They were divided into dozens of stems and scattered into the sky.
Qua—ah—ah—ah——!
“—Tsk!”
Lee Hyun-wook and everyone else floating in the air hastily evacuated.
The rays stretched out in a straight line and whipped up the dark clouds that were filling the sky like whipped cream.
“This is really… It’s stranger than anything I’ve ever experienced. This.” “Who would have expected that the time zone would resist so harshly? I don’t understand. What on earth was the variable that brought us to this point? Ah—is this why William Bernard died within an hour of crossing over?” He muttered quite chattily and continued
. So he fired out a beam of light.
“Well, it doesn’t matter anyway.”
Qua—ah—ah—ah——!
Another barrage of beam attacks caused the AD-2s floating in the sky to fall.
‘Damn, there are too many rays.’
It was so powerful that even Lee Hyun-wook had to focus on dodging rather than counterattacking.
And for Lee Hyun-wook, who had to dominate the air, it was the worst offensive.
However, Lee Hyun-wook felt that it was a means of checking rather than a means of attack. He was trying
to push out those who surrounded him in any way possible. It felt like the attack was pouring in.
In other words, the offensive would have no choice but to stop at some point, just as the bullets ran out.
‘I’ll try to run away before that happens.’
Sure enough—
“The moment I gain complete power, your world will oxidize into nutrients for my transcendence.”
With those words, two red magic circles overlapped and bloomed under their feet.
Woowoowoo——
“That is space. “It’s movement magic!”
It was Lee Seong-yoon who noticed this. As he was the pinnacle of the wizard lineage, he read the flow of mana.
Then Kang Seo-yoon pulled the bowstring and shouted,
“That bastard is running away! “You’ll be defenseless while you cast that, so pour everything out—!”
Thong—thong—thong—thong—
The weapons that Lee Hyun-wook fired from her bow were blocked by a black shield and oxidized.
“…What? Using two high-level magic at the same time?”
Usually, long-distance space movement magic was an extremely difficult technology.
A level wizard player had to pour all his mana into it.
That’s why the ‘World Bridge’ that opens the ‘Wight Hall’ was fraudulent.
And that was the power of Yggdrasil . It was possible because I borrowed it.
Also, the casting time was so long that it was difficult to see it as an emergency escape, and while casting, I was helplessly exposed to attacks. That was natural. Otherwise, it would have been a common loss of balance… Common sense about such wide-area movement techniques
. A scene of complete destruction unfolded before my eyes.
Surrounding his entire body with a large, strong magic shield and using long-distance teleportation at the same time…
Ugh——
Soon a black ray of light rose from the floor, enveloped the necromancer, and soared into the sky.
“…….”
It disappeared and for a few seconds, the whole world was filled with deep silence.
“Oh no, there is such a thing! Does that make sense?”
Even the best players present seemed unable to understand.
However, Lee Hyun-wook knew why such ‘double casting’ was possible.
‘…It was probably started after giving different magic to the Dragon Heart.’
And in his past life, many dragons were hunted and left behind dragon hearts.
They were spread all over the place, but in the end, the final winner would dominate.
In other words, like Lee Hyun-wook, who monopolized the items in this world, he had a strangeness that went beyond common sense. There was.
Lee Hyun-wook let out a sigh. It was the first failure he had experienced in quite a while.
‘Damn, I thought this fight here would be the last…’
However, due to an unexpected variable, another fight was left behind.
‘That too . ‘An opponent I don’t know… Moreover, he’s stronger than me.’
In other words, the engine that allowed Lee Hyun-wook to run like a runaway locomotive had disappeared.
But Lee Hyun-wook was not afraid or worried. The reason he was strong was not just because of regression.
He had a talent that was superior to anyone else before he had the privilege of regression in the first place. .
He exhaled slowly, raised his head, and took a glance at the chaotic battlefield.
There were traces of the Necromancer’s shattering of the wall that seemed so high.
Now, he had no regrets from his past life. He was ready to do his best. .
‘I will make you regret coming here no matter what…’
But then a system message appeared in front of everyone.
– (!) The quest has arrived.
“Huh? What is this quest all of a sudden….”
[World Quest]
– The Demon King The seed of the apocalypse that came from an unknown world…
Many people have witnessed the being who will be called the Demon King.
But the good news is that the Demon King has not yet gained his full power. If you don’t
find him and eliminate him, this world may fall.
1) Select a hero ‘warrior’ who will lead the subjugation of the devil lord. (In progress)
2) Attack the ‘demon castle’ that will appear somewhere in this world. . (In progress)
3) Defeat the final boss monster ‘Demon King’. (In progress)
* Reward: Differential payment depending on achievement in subjugating the Demon King
– Caution! If ‘3’ goal is failed, ‘World Game Over’ will result.
” What devil? “I just said that he was a demon lord from a cartoon.”
“…But what is ‘World Quest’? “Has everyone heard this?”
“Hmm… I’ve done all kinds of quests, but this is my first time seeing this.”
They were all looking at Lee Hyun-wook with puzzled expressions.
“…This is my first time seeing this too.”
This wasn’t a lie. It was something he had never seen before in his two lives.
‘Is the World Quest literally a quest given all over the world at the same time?’
But what bothered me even more than that was the very familiar word ‘demon king.’
Demon King is a somewhat childish word that refers to a being who is often the final boss in a fantasy world.
However, as the world actually became a fantasy game, the weight of the word was bound to be quite different.
And experts used to jokingly say that the devil may appear one day. From the beginning, orcs and ogres appeared, and even demons and dragons appeared, so it wasn’t a strange statement in the context.
And then a word as familiar as the Demon King appeared before my eyes…
– (!) You can apply to be a ‘Hero Candidate.’
* Elected through ‘voting’ by all players around the world.
‘I don’t know what this is, but I’ll need it when dealing with that guy.’
However, voting by all players around the world…
there was a great concern that this would open up a political arena on this important issue.
But then Emilia Müller came up next to me.
“Can you save that kid?”
There was a boy lying between the wight tree guards where she pointed,
skinny and pale as if he had never seen sunlight…
I don’t know how long he had been trapped in that capsule. “That bastard controlled the undead army, right?
”
“…I don’t think it was of his own volition.”
However, if left alive, he might turn into some kind of evil beast.
“So don’t save me. I’m dying now. I’ll die soon.”
Lee Hyun-wook thought for a moment.
‘That guy might know something I don’t know.’
That’s why I had to come to my senses and interrogate him.
‘…if you confine him within the sacred power of Yggdrasil, he won’t be able to run wild.’
Hyunwook Lee looked at Emilia Müller and nodded,
“She can only recover if she manipulates the power of death and exploits someone’s life force.”
“…Oh, come to think of it, healing would actually be poisonous, but wouldn’t it be able to save someone’s life?”
“That’s not true, I will just heal after purifying all the power of death.”
Lee Hyun-wook had never heard of such a thing being possible, but it was a different story for a saint.
“Then that guy’s power will be greatly weakened.”
“Well, you could say it’s essentially castration.”
Lee Hyun-wook thought everything was fine and asked her to do the resuscitation work.
After a while, Emilia Müller injected divine power into the necromancer’s body.
“—Oof!”
The guy was in a state of death, spitting out blood from every hole.
However, after about five minutes, Emilia Müller spoke in a somewhat embarrassed voice.
“Oh my… how does this happen?”
“Why? What’s going on? “Didn’t it go well?”
When Lee Hyun-wook asked, she looked at the necromancer with a blank expression and then tilted her head.
“Hmm… So the realm of death isn’t necessarily a dark force?”
“yes?”
“For example, some souls may be good rather than evil.”
Lee Hyun-wook still had no idea what she was trying to say.
“Why did you think that necromancers always deal with the evil power of death…”
“So what are you trying to say now?”
She laughed and pointed near the necromancer’s heart.
“This child absorbed divine power and began to accumulate divine power.”
