379. Dimensional Cradle (5)
「You have purchased the Returning Stone (D+)」
There was no need to waste time.
At this point, it is safe to say that they have obtained all the news that can be obtained from the tower.
I didn’t feel the need to stay here any longer, so I chose to return to Earth as soon as I bought the Hearthstone.
「Challenger Han Seong-yoon’s intention to return has been confirmed.」
「Consumes the return stone to return to Earth.」
And.
“…”
In the blink of an eye, he returned to the studio, which now felt unfamiliar.
There were only traces of dust inside the house, probably because they hadn’t taken care of it since they went to the tower, but it didn’t matter.
After all, this is no longer the place I need to be.
It’s just that the remnants of the past, which were not even a hunter, or the sense of life left in the house now feel cumbersome.
But that is only for a moment.
‘I guess I’ll have to do what I have to do first.’
There was no time to get emotional.
Perhaps even at the moment this side is doing this, the challenger who is said to have come from Moorim is roaming around the earth like a flying insect.
Hurry up, I had to deal with the situation before the worm-like challenger from Murim had an accident.
as quickly as possible.
As it is, I then inject magic with lightning properties into the turned off smartphone to recharge the battery and immediately call Lee Ha-yeon.
As always, it didn’t take long to connect the call, as it did every time I contacted her.
– Mr. Seongyun. … I’ve already done what the Tower asked for. I also heard the answer from the other side.
Before I knew it, Lee Ha-yeon’s tired voice made me realize that the work I had requested in advance was over.
It’s nothing else…
As this side requested, they succeeded in contacting the envoys sent by Emperor Pa, who is said to be the strongest among the Moorim people.
And I admired it in my heart, and asked her again to make sure it was real.
“If the tower asked for it, would you say that the meeting with the challenger, the envoy from the Murim, took place?”
-yes. … The other side also took an interest in Seong-yoon just in time. So, it was not difficult to meet Seong-yoon.
“So where are we going?”
– Seoul Hunter Association. I said see you there. Do not worry. There are not only challengers and hunters for security purposes, but also me, so there will be no fights.
“…”
I was momentarily speechless at that.
Are you a guard?
In fact, I wondered if there was a person in this district who was capable of protecting this side by even using the word ‘guard’.
but for a while.
-…Mmm, of course it’s formal security. Everyone knows that Seong-yoon is strong, but if something happens, I can’t stand it.
“All right. Well, I have no idea what to do with that. Just don’t bring challengers who can become hostages to your opponents.”
– Oh, you don’t have to worry about that part. First of all, the bodyguards were made up of high-level challengers who climbed the tower to the 25th floor, including myself. There will be no catch.
“Then it doesn’t really matter.”
As it was, I agreed to her words as if it didn’t matter anyway.
Of course, as she said, there were no expectations for high-level security personnel.
Even if they are from Earth, if they are challengers whose skills have been verified to some extent, they just think that there is no need to worry because they will not become a burden.
“Then I’ll see you at the Seoul Hunter Association.”
pop-.
With that, the phone call with Lee Ha-yeon ended.
The preparations to exterminate the pests of Moorim that have entered the earth are over anyway.
That’s why I immediately summoned the magical energy inside my body without wasting time.
In an instant, the space I was standing in was distorted and I began to fold into a new space.
[Whirling vortex]
And then.
Chijijijijijijik…!
As the space in front of me distorted and prepared for teleportation, I expanded my senses.
All of his stats exceeded 3000 and were approaching 4000 as he went through the trials of the white crane inspection.
And that is close to a level where even a high-ranking deity can overwhelm even for a short time with pure physical abilities.
That means one thing.
“…”
In fact, with my bodily senses, it is easy to search for prey within the planet.
‘Still, there are no more challengers except for one real Moorim…’
Only then was I convinced that there were no more pests in the earth.
Most of the challengers who were originally from the Murim people lied, so I wondered if there were more Murim people hiding somewhere.
But it wasn’t.
There is no conspicuous energy anywhere except for the presence of a Moorim-born challenger felt in the Seoul Hunter Association.
Realizing that, I put a smile on my lips.
‘Then I don’t have to worry anymore.’
next moment.
Chak-.
As it was, I leaped perfectly into the space, landed on the roof of the Seoul Hunter Association, and looked up.
“hey.”
That was the moment.
“Are you the ‘Hunter’, the strongest challenger on this planet?”
I turned my eyes to the source of the sound at the unlucky voice that I heard in my ears before I knew it.
“In this world, they say that he is a strong man called a sword demon or a sword god…”
There, a young man dressed in a very modern outfit, unlike a Moorim-born challenger, was standing there, chewing on a lollipop.
“hmm-. I guess that wasn’t a lie at all? Well, if it’s your level, it’s worth making me a subordinate.”
but for a while.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t introduced myself yet.”
Somehow, the handsome young man standing over there spat out words that sounded like he was judging this side, then he nodded his head and continued with an approving tone.
“ah! For reference, I am Dan Woo-seong, the owner of Pacheonryeon. Wouldn’t it be nice to remember After all, it is the name of the person you will serve as your superior.”
It’s not different…
“Hey. never forget Every time I come here, you will have to act like my subordinate. got it?”
…That pretty young man in front of me had a mysterious knack for arousing murderous urges.
***
Sometimes that’s the case.
It is the moment when you feel an impulse just by hearing the voice of the person in front of you.
An overwhelming urge, as if witnessing a mystery, runs through your body and makes you want to slap the other person in the face.
‘Ah…
‘
Right
…
“…”
I laughed out loud as my head became dizzy.
‘What the hell is this?’
It was worth it.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, you see this side and say that you will act like a subordinate every time you come to Earth?
Somehow, the fact that I had to talk to the other side already made my head throb, but even that didn’t last long.
“Is that all you have to say?”
When I said that after swallowing the anger that had risen up to my throat, Dan Woo-seong shrugged his shoulders and replied.
“what? No way? If this was all I had to say, I wouldn’t have come this far. obviously.”
“Then why did you come?”
“The reason I came here is to represent Pacheonryun’s will and establish an alliance with Earth.”
“well.”
At that, I gave a twisted smile as if I was dumbfounded and said lightly.
“What the hell are you talking about an alliance that you can give Earth?”
“I will lend you my strength regarding the existence of the earth.”
“?”
“That’s it.”
Woosung Dan said while rolling a lollipop in his mouth as if he was going to explain what that meant.
“Often in Moorim, protection money is paid in exchange for protecting the weak from foreign enemies.”
“….”
“The emperor wave promised to eliminate all things that threaten the existence of the earth in exchange for obedience.”
“What.”
It was absurd.
In fact, this place has been prepared for a certain degree of external invasion based on the concept divinities.
However, even if the other side offered protection against external enemies and the continuation of the earth, it couldn’t have made much sense.
and.
“dog sound! The baby was threatened to call the Pacheon Emperor and make the earth a wormwood field. How dare you say something like that—”
The moment when one of the challengers who was standing guard after hearing that said something like that in anger.
Deed-!
In the blink of an eye, Dan Woo-sung’s eyes flashed, and an intangible feeling of pressure hung over the roof of the building.
“The bugs…”
Of course, the intangible pressure has no physical force.
Only Dan Woo-sung’s will gives only light pressure to living creatures.
However, that alone made the male challenger’s complexion pale.
“—How dare you make fun of that tongue because since when did I allow you to speak?”
Suddenly, Dan Woo-sung gave off a cold look and used a different tone.
“What are these guys who are just lucky enough to be chosen to be in the tower talking about?”
As if the appearances he had shown so far were nothing more than fakes.
“It’s disgusting to see scum who rely on mere witchcraft and install them without even knowing they’re weak.”
It wasn’t even that.
Suddenly, Dan Woo-sung clenched his fists, revealing his intention to kill seriously, as if his mood had deteriorated rapidly.
Perhaps it is a common dislike
for challengers from Moorim.
“you. ‘Hunter’. So what are you going to do? Unlike those worms, I gave you a chance. choose Will you all die to me here, or will you be loyal to Emperor Pa?”
I smiled at him.
“…okay. This is what it looks like. Even as a Moorim person.”
In fact, the pretty young man in front of me seemed to be thinking of eliminating all the challengers here at once.
“But do you know that?”
Of course, after seeing me, he mixed it up with a slightly frivolous tone, so it seems like he would stop fighting if he swore an
oath of allegiance…
well.
I didn’t really feel the need to do that.
Because that single star in front of me was only at the level of a normal mortal.
“…under. did you watch it? A bug that was only chosen by the top? You’re kidding too much.”
But wasn’t that what it sounded like?
“You must know the difference between strength.”
Suddenly, Dan Woo-sung’s eyes were swaying with a dark murderous intent.
As if they were going to annihilate them all without anyone else to look at.
At that, I recited with a sneer on my lips.
“The difference in power?”
It was really fun.
“That sounds like a lot of fun.”
That’s what he should be…
“The god of transcendence and death admires the logic of a certain mortal and makes a mockery
of it .” ]
It’s obvious which one would be better if we were to question the ‘difference in strength’ between them.
「Divine < Empowerment > is used.」
「You can use your divine power to exert verbal influence on the real world.」 「
However, a great deal of your divine power is consumed when you use your commandments to interfere with the laws of the world.」
《 Be crushed. 》
Next moment.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Indeed, the overwhelming power was concentrated in Dan Woo-sung’s body and was thrust down.
