The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 37

‘It’s strange…?’

As Namgung ran through the maze following the route taken by the sign fish, he felt something strange.

‘The direction is correct…’

When the three male fish clearly reached a common place, they all disappeared.

That also meant that he had at least three ways to get there.

‘It won’t come out.’

When I followed the route of the first sign, there was a dead end where the dead sign should have been.

He returned to the entrance and made his way along the route of the second sign. But there was only a deep cliff at the end.

And Namgung, who was conquering the maze following the direction the third and final sign went, now had no choice but to admit it.

‘They say they won’t let you in easily.’

He was running endlessly through the maze, as if he were running on a Möbius strip.

“Please save me…!!”

It was then.

A sharp female scream was heard. Namgung stopped running when he heard that familiar voice.

“Park Hyo-joo?”

“Huh huh huh…!!”

She was covered in blood as she ran from the darkness across from me.

“Park Hyo-joo!!”

Namgung hurriedly grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.

“What happened?”

“There was a monster… there was a monster. It’s terrible… all the members of the unit are dead.”

Trembling, she shouted at Namgung with unfocused eyes.

“What are you talking about? Unit members. It was just the three of us in here. Wake!!”

Thinking that she might have been mentally attacked, Namgung shook her shoulder and said,

“Three? You’re the one who needs to come to your senses! I don’t know? “Now my precious unit members… are all dead!”

Creep –

At that moment, Namgoong’s shoulders trembled without realizing it as he saw Park Hyo-joo’s eyes looking at him.

“Don’t pretend not to know. “You put my troops in danger.”

“…what?”

“You did it. I told them to guard the inside of the Seoul Station subway tunnel. Please buy me some time. You said you would solve everything. But what is this?”

Wow-!!

Park Hyo-joo grabbed Namgoong by the collar.

“To catch the damn demons…! “You said you were going to go back to the past by yourself, so you just used my unit members as human shields!!”

At her words, Namgoong felt as if he had been hit on the head with a blunt object.

“The members of my unit who believed in you and went into that hell… no… I too… will blame you… even after I die…”

Ssaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!!

At that moment, Park Hyo-joo’s face disappeared as if it was melting, the skin flowing down and the red flesh falling off as if it were being cut off.

“….”

Namgung stood there as if frozen in place.

“Don’t be fooled by fakes. Because the labyrinth is searching your heart. Rather, think simply. “Then there will be less confusion.”

“Jang Gil-su…”

He looked even more confused as he looked at Gil-su who appeared from behind and tapped his shoulder.

“How can I get here?”

“Haha, if there’s no way, just make one. “I just broke the walls of the maze and kept going straight.”

Namgung burst out laughing at his words. I thought it was indeed a method worthy of Jang Gil-soo.

“Thanks to you, I come to my senses a little. As you said, the labyrinth seems to be causing hallucinations.”

“yes. “But no one knows if it’s a hallucination… or if it’s real.”

“What is that…?”

“Do you really think you have made a comeback? This is the last demon you are trying to catch. The devil in the stump. He deals with the soul.”

At that moment, I thought there was something strange about the way Jang Gil-su looked at me.

“Did they really kill him? The soul is the essence of the mind. Have you ever thought that you have fallen prey to the devil’s tricks and are just dreaming the dream you wish for?”

“…What nonsense?”

“What nonsense. “This is my friend.”

Blah blah blah… Blah blah blah…!!

At that moment, Jang Gil-su’s mouth was torn open along both corners of his mouth.

“Are you forgetting that my brothers and I were torn limb from limb by that demon just to send you to the past? How dare you come to me again about such a topic? “Your face is too thick…!!”

“…!!!”

A demon’s face popped out of his mouth and spoke at him, quivering its snake-like tongue.

[You thought you killed me? Clack… stupid… you didn’t collect all 666666 demon heads. I’m just playing around in the illusion I created.]

The demon said to Namgung with a bitter smile.

“Nangung… why did you send us to Saji?”

“I believed in you…”

“Achieved a feat? “Don’t be ridiculous… you just took advantage of our deaths.”

Like an echo, countless people’s voices began to resonate in Namgung’s ears.

Gwaak-

Namgoong looked down as he felt someone pulling his pants.

Arm covered in blood. Another hand

grabbed

his arm, his waist, his shoulder, his face… Numerous arms, rotten here and there along with the rotten smell of the corpse, began to pull him into the darkness.

[Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… This is reality. you were deceived It’s okay to be broken. Anyway, there was no such thing as regression from the beginning….]

Whoops–!!

It was then.

Namgung mercilessly thrust his fist into the head of the demon protruding from Jang Gil-su’s body.

“okay?”

He pulled the crushed demon’s head and dragged it in front of him.

“Is this reality? Then I’ll kill you from now on. I’ll start with you. How many of the 666666 are alive? No, it doesn’t matter even if everyone is alive. “I’ll cut it all up for you.”

[Yes, you bastard…!!]

“Is this all it takes? I have beheaded you, risking not tens or hundreds, but tens of thousands of lives. Just send it to the past?”

Namgung drew the penitent’s sword.

“For those who gave up their lives, my return is not the only thing. Someone will be resentful. “There are probably countless people who were forced to make sacrifices.”

Damn—!!

When he swung his sword, numerous arms clinging to him were cut off in an instant.

How much time has passed?

When the smell of blood paralyzed his nose and he could no longer feel anything, there was nothing left around him.

Kwasik!!!

He plunged his sword into the demon’s face.

[Kaaaaaaah!!!]

“Nevertheless, I don’t regret my decision. If you want to complain, do it. If you want to curse, do it. I will accept even that sin. But…”

Crackling…!!

When I broke the handle of the sword stuck in my forehead, I heard a strange sound like bones being ground.

[Kk…kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

of of

“I will not forgive anyone who calls my life fake.”

Namgung stomped on the face of the demon that had been cut in half and spoke in a low voice.

Hua Aak — !!

At that moment, as if the fog cleared, Jang Gil-su’s body and the demon’s severed head disappeared everywhere.

‘Was it a hallucination?’

The blood that had covered my entire body disappeared, and when I inhaled, the smell of wet moss felt rather refreshing.

“You’re out.”

Namgung looked at the huge door that had not been seen until now and spoke in a low voice.

“The labyrinth traps even the human mind. “It’s a really horrible place.”

He leaned against the door tiredly.

It felt like the words said by the beings in the hallucinations that attacked him were being engraved in his mind one by one.

‘How on earth did Jang Gil-soo attack this hallucination? It would be difficult to endure with even the slightest mental strength.’

Kwaaaang–!!

It was then.

The wall to the right of the gate where Namgung was standing collapsed with a loud roar.

“…?!”

“Wow… I thought I was going to fall.”

The deep voice behind the collapsed wall is none other than Jang Gil-su. He removed the moss from his body here and there, climbed over the collapsed wall, and walked towards Namgung.

“oh! There you are. It’s amazing. “I thought I would arrive first.”

“Now… did you come by breaking the wall?”

“Oh well. From the entrance, I took one direction and just kept going straight. After all, there are two bosses in a place like this, right? Either in the center or at the very end.”

‘Was this really a collapsing wall?’

Namgung looked at the remains of the collapsed wall with an expression of bewilderment at Jang Gil-soo’s words.

‘I never thought they would conquer the labyrinth like this. Is it simple… or is it clear? What should I say?’

Although he had been living in this world for 25 years, he had never once thought of breaking down the walls of the dungeon to create a new path.

‘A dungeon is a strange building that was not created by humans. Of course, I thought it wasn’t something that could be done with human power…’

Passsss…!

Namgung looked at the brick that broke so easily and turned into powder in his palm, and sighed.

“I’m not ready yet.”

He dusted himself off and stood up.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“It seems like you suffered more than me. “I don’t know what to say…”

“Well…”

Namgung shrugged his shoulders and opened the handle of the closed door. The door to the labyrinth

slowly

opened with the sound of a lock being released.

Then an altar with three pillars in the middle of a large room caught his eye.

“It seems like it only works if there’s one other person… I’m not sure if that person will be okay.”

“It will come. Because he is an outstanding person.”

“Hmm…”

Jang Gil-su looked a little untrustworthy.

“Gasp….”

But at that moment, Park Hyo-joo appeared, sweating profusely with a pale face, and when she saw the two people, she sat down as if she had lost all strength.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“What on earth is here? “Damn nightmares… I thought I was going to die.”

Park Hyo-joo took a sip of the water bottle Jang Gil-soo handed to her and said as if she was tired of it.

“Still, you managed to arrive. “You worked hard.”

“…The tip he gave me was a little helpful. “I thought I had to break even.”

“tip? If there is anything like that, you should let me know. “People are so… disgusting.”

“I thought you had enough coverage.”

Looking at the grumbling Jang Gil-su, Namgung asked Park Hyo-joo.

“Did you see a vision?”

“yes. “My previously dead subordinates appeared.”

“You managed to escape.”

“The subordinates looked a little strange.”

“Do you think it’s strange?”

“One of the visions that appeared was a subordinate who was in the unit with me before the National Intelligence Service. “My leg was cut off while protecting me during the operation.”

She smiled bitterly.

“It’s funny, but the right side you were talking about. That helped. “The leg that was cut off was on the left side, and the image that stuck to me was cut off on the other side, just like it was reflected in a mirror.”

“Oh, too. Because the answer is on the right. “I also broke it to the right.”

“…yes? What are you breaking?”

“I didn’t mean it that way, but…”

Namgung burst out laughing at the fact that the strategy for conquering the labyrinth that Jang Gil-soo had talked about in his past life had a completely different meaning to the two people.

“Well, anyway, I met everyone alive, so it’s okay.”

He stood on the altar.

▶ A sacrifice was offered.

As the rest of the people followed the notification and climbed on top of it, red letters appeared in the air.

[Offerings offered to the altar: 3/3]

Kugggggggggg…

The huge door blocking the front of the altar began to split in two.

▶ The owner of the labyrinth appears.

[Kuuuuu!!!]

A minotaur carrying a huge hammer and white breath began to walk towards them.
