Episode 505
“…This is an unbelievable figure. This is more than guild leader Kwon Kang-hyuk and team leader Park Seong-jin…”
Cha Hyun-soo, the director of the intensive care unit and Ji Jin-hee’s personal junior.
He trailed off as he checked the test results again.
The physical records of less than twenty SSS-level players worldwide are treated as a top secret.
Moreover, the records of Ji Jin-hee, who also serves as the president of the association, were treated with even greater importance.
“There’s nothing to be so public about. “It’s different in real life anyway.”
Ji Jin-hee, who was actually involved, did not consider it a big deal and did not care.
‘At this level, it would be worth trying with America’s Sarah Collins.’
As the doctor in charge, I felt that way, but quickly shook my head.
Ji Jin-hee only thinks about returning to active duty and working for the new Korea.
This is because I know that I am no longer interested in my reputation as a player.
At that time, Chief of Staff Lee Jae-jun approached me with an urgent expression.
“President of the Association. “This is a report from Night Walker.”
“Say it.”
Jaejun Lee opened his mouth with a stern expression.
Kassim Jort escaped after drawing a draw with Asisat Ebi Park Seong-jin.
Yoo Ah-young subdues Liu Shibo and captures him.
Min Ji-hong left Kwon Kang-hyeok and Kwak Si-yang in a near-dead state and then ran away.
Lee Jeong-jae was captured by Ahn Hyeon-soo after achieving the same results as Lim A-young and Dong-gwi Jin-jin.
“Did you catch those two guys? I told you to prioritize killing them…”
Ji Jin-hee said in a bitter voice.
If it had been him in the past, he would have been caught up in the feeling that they were new Koreans and made the wrong decision, but not now.
I knew that once a person changes, he or she will not easily come back.
must be killed
“President of the Association.”
Jaejun Lee asked Ji Jinhee for an order.
“What about the seriously injured?”
“In the case of Guild Master Kwon Kang-hyeok and Kwak Si-yang, there is no danger to his life due to his status as a saint. It is said that the patient will recover after about a month of rest in the intensive care unit. In the case of Team Leader Lim Ah-young, she is currently unconscious… but I think we will find out once she goes to the intensive care unit.”
“What about the two guys who ran away?”
“Kassim Jort Min Ji-hong. “Everyone just disappeared.”
“….”
“….”
There was silence.
“He leisurely hid himself without taking the lives of the players who were chasing him… I can only say he lured them in.”
If you bring him in and interrogate him, you will be able to find out who he is plotting.
“Can you transport Liu Shibo here?”
“I think it will be difficult. There is currently a gate barrier formed on the Chinese side….”
“Tell Yoo Ah-young, the guild leader, that I will leave it to your personal decision, so please come back carefully.”
This meant entrusting Liu Shibo’s recruitment to Yoo Ah-young, whether to find out information or to summarily dispose of him.
Right after the battle was over.
If it were any other player, it would be difficult for me to give up on my own, but if it’s Yoo Ah-young, it would be more than enough.
“What will you do about Lee Jeong-jae?”
“…If Team Leader Lim Ah-young saved her, she must have had something in mind. “The interrogation will begin as soon as they are transported.”
“All right.”
I caught two of the four vicious mines.
That alone was an achievement worthy of praise, but Ji Jin-hee couldn’t open her face due to an inexplicable feeling of discomfort.
* * *
30 minutes before the report was sent to Ji Jin-hee.
“Whew… I can’t do it twice.”
Yoo Ah-young muttered as he released the purple magic.
“You got an interesting power?”
She asked Mine, who was kneeling at her feet.
Because my body was constantly regenerating, I had to enter the world of images and compete.
Although in real time it is less than 5 minutes.
In the mental world, it was a year-long battle.
After a fierce battle, they succeeded in destroying Liu Shibo’s mind, but she was not completely intact either.
‘I can’t believe there are such aftereffects from just 5 minutes…’
Ataraxia.
A skill created by Taehyun by fusing dozens of skills.
Once again, I realized the gap between me and Taehyun, who extensively uses the skill imbued with the power of mind control.
at that time.
“…Why… Why…”
Liu Shibo, whose mind was half destroyed, trembled.
Because I couldn’t understand.
Chosen by the two Grand Dukes, she is nothing but the Queen of Dream Demons.
I was attacked by a spare of someone who is said to be the weakest among the archdukes.
“You idiot. Can you please give me that ‘unbelievable’ look? “Isn’t it hurting your pride to have to suffer this much from a fool like you?”
Yoo Ah-young taunted Liu Shibo in order to crush his pride.
I want to take him to New Korea and interrogate him.
‘It won’t be possible with my current condition.’
In the world of images, I used up more stamina than I thought.
Since he entered the country with his identity hidden, there was a high risk that it would escalate into a diplomatic issue if he tried to force himself out.
‘Information is extracted from here and processed.’
Even if it was Ji Jin-hee, she would have said that.
After thinking about it, she raised her magic power once again.
Unlike Taehyun, his skill proficiency was not high, so he slapped his target and lowered his self-esteem.
“Ego. Look here.”
Tiring.
[The skill Complete Hypnosis (???) has been activated.]
[The skill is activated in a limited way.]
Likewise, it is because Ayoung’s proficiency in the power she uses is not high.
Liu Shibo had to endure the pain of having his brain scraped out.
* * *
[What a plausible plan.]
After hearing Taehyeon’s explanation, the Elven explored the possibilities.
It wasn’t high, but it wasn’t so high that I couldn’t try it.
Rather, he praised Taehyun’s plan.
[How did I come up with such a brilliant idea?]
“When you go in and out of the world of imagination, many thoughts come to mind.”
Especially Cody Cruz’s sculpture of the one god, Lucifer.
The people I’ve dealt with recently have all been unusual.
Taehyun was capable of combining information that others could not think of.
The prerequisite was that ‘Shinsu is raising the level of the lower world.’
So wouldn’t it be possible to plant the seeds of divine water in Middle-earth as well?
Just like the current Grand Duke of the Lower World.
‘Those with potential’ will grow rapidly simply because they are given the possibility.
‘Gathering the seeds of the divine tree is possible with the capabilities of the Elven.’
The problem was the existence of Middle-earth.
Unlike the upper and lower worlds, which can withstand the absolute or the great for a long time.
Earth, Taehyun’s home planet.
There was a high possibility that the planet that would serve as the foundation for the new beast would not be able to handle the enormous power of existence.
The moment when the seed of the divine tree sprouts.
The life forms there will disappear as they cannot handle the enormous force of existence.
‘That’s why it doesn’t fit with the plan.’
I recalled a past experience.
Igmun and Jormungand.
They were able to appear on Earth by lowering their presence to the level of SSS level monsters.
Coincidentally, Taehyun was also downgraded.
It was an unintentional possibility.
Is that all?
[Connect the different dimensions of Middle Earth and unify the power of existence. Was that Lucifer’s plan?]
“No.”
Although he realized that there was another dimension in Middle-earth through the Fragment of the One God, it was Cody Cruz who first came up with this plan.
It was his work, which is now dead.
Kasim Jorth, Min Ji-hong, Ryuusbo, Lee Jeong-jae.
No matter how great their power, they cannot create new life.
He came up with a plan to connect Middle-Earth from different dimensions using modified demons.
Among the many dimensions, there will be ones that are more advanced than the civilization achieved by humanity on Earth.
Cody Cruz wanted it.
Strong pride.
May the humanity he has protected so far survive in their own way.
In this way, may we achieve a stronger existence.
Even though that method is radical.
His intentions were still worthy of being called the protector of humanity.
‘Well, it feels uncomfortable to use demons there.’
And that’s because they are international terrorists, not ordinary demons.
I just hoped Cody Cruise had put some safety measures in place.
[Then what is the role of this body?]
Tolkien, who was quietly listening from the side, asked.
Taehyun clearly said that he would take him to Earth as well.
“Even if the presence of Middle-earth is strengthened. “It will be difficult to handle the flowering of the new tree right now.”
Even in the underworld, time had to pass that far surpassed human life.
Taehyeon, who needed the Grand Duke for the next race war, did not have much time.
[Really?]
“I plan to build a tower.”
[Hoo.]
[…Indeed.]
The Elven and Tolkien’s eyes lit up as they understood Taehyun’s words.
The divine beast is surrounded by a tower to prevent its existence from leaking out, and each floor of the tower is managed by connecting it with the highest species of the lower world.
In this way, sacrifices will be reduced and customized growth tailored to the player’s skills will be possible.
One problem is that we don’t know how long it will take to build the tower.
[Don’t worry about that. With Bonyo’s support and the dwarf’s dexterity, you should be able to quickly determine the shape. When can I start?]
No need to waste your time.
“We can prepare from now on.”
* * *
Preparations to go to Earth did not take long.
Tolkien brought a bundle of his tools, and the Elven compressed some of the divine trees into the form of seeds.
and.
[It will sting a little.]
The branch of the divine tree that bound Taehyeon’s body absorbed his magic and divine power.
This is to destroy them once again in order to pass the gate.
From SSS to SS. From SS to S. From S to AAA.
It was a refreshing experience to watch the grades I had accumulated go down one by one.
Soon the grade was lowered to E.
“I think this has been taken down too far.”
[Wouldn’t that be enough to be completely free from witchcraft? Don’t worry. Until you return, Bonyo will also do his best to recover.]
Since there are no dwarves to bother his eyes, he will be able to focus more on Shinsoo’s fairy tale.
He told me to get some fresh air until then.
This is because as Elven’s recovery becomes more complete, Taehyun’s recovery can also be accelerated.
As she waved her hand, the gate leading to Earth opened.
[Don’t be too late.]
“Okay.”
Taehyun crossed the gate.
When it was time to leave, Tolkien, who had gained momentum, opened his mouth to the Elven.
[Hey, what a rude thing to do to this body…]
But before I could finish speaking.
puck.
Tolkien’s body was swallowed by the branch struck by the Elven.
[It’s the new Grand Duke… I’m looking forward to it.]
She buried herself in the sacred water as she watched the gate disappear.
* * *
The moment I crossed the gate, what came to mind was the waves.
Waves of magic.
It feels like I’m in a demonic sea.
It’s an experience I’ve never had before while crossing the gate.
A tower containing the seeds of divine water.
If the plan is successful, the current aftereffects will be reduced.
Many thoughts came to mind.
Doppelgänger and the Underworld King’s plan.
Asmodeus and Baal’s plan.
The existence of no name and offset.
Noname said that the King of Underworld was dead.
‘There are many forms of death.’
What the King of Underworld faced did not simply mean physical death.
For some reason, King Hagye joined hands with King Sanggye.
‘The risk is being forgotten.’
The proof was that Taehyun’s memories were also incomplete.
‘You must have the King of Sanggye’s key to prevent your memories from being erased.’
Noname, the sculpture of the One God.
This was the advice he gave Taehyun right before he disappeared.
Meeting Asmodeus without any preparation is suicidal.
Before that, the lost strength must be restored.
While I was organizing my thoughts, the move ended.
I saw a dungeon.
Hi Kraken Zelga.
You should be able to see the space of the guy that Taehyun saved in preparation for moving to the deepest level.
“…why.”
Taehyun couldn’t help but be embarrassed as he saw the being with wings of brilliance spread out in front of him.
[Is this the first time I have seen a face like this?]
Lucifer, who was not a fallen angel but the master of heaven, must have looked like this.
With that thought in mind, I revealed the identity of Gwanghwi.
“Michael.”
[Nice to meet you. Key to the King of the Underworld.]
Angel.
The master of the First Heavenly Realm smiled.
