Colossus Hunter

Lyra said as if she was reading my mind.

“100 years of war have made the finances much worse. I cherished and cherished it as much as I could. ”

Long excuses have begun. This is all because of the Emperor's carpetdiem, and he has devoted all his strength to protecting the realm of Uriel Diablo.

Of course, judging by the condition of the castle, I can only imagine how hard she must have been.

Nevertheless, seeing that the castle was kept so clean, her care was great.

“Me, Father. ”

After a full circle around the castle, Lyra speaks quietly.

When Lyra was alone with me, she seemed to use the title "Father."

As I turned my head, Laira sighed a little and put the truth in her mouth.

“In fact, the castle and land were secured by black merchants. ”

The Dark Merchant?

Ah, I nodded my head.

It's because I sometimes met them when I entered the blue ‘door’ where the xenophiles lived.

They had nothing to sell. Instead, I had to give them a treasure worth that much, but if I was lucky, I could get some good armor.

Of course, there were those who wanted to attack them and take their wealth.

The result was harsh. Those who were called the strongmen lost their strength and were trapped in a pigsty. Slave, brutalized and dead.

It was a warning to humanity.

Humanity has not touched them since. I was overwhelmed by the monsters, but I couldn't stand them.

‘Even monsters can't touch easily. ’

I don't think I can lay my hands on Daemonrod as carelessly as the Dark Merchant who carried him on his back.

Ha! The depths here are more complicated than ever.

“That's why we need to start a war. All the goods and territories of the Carpetdiem of Destruction will be repaid even after paying off their debts. ”

“What happens if you don't pay it back? ”

“Territories and castles will be taken away. You'll get saturated by false kings. ”

This territory appears to be the last shield.

As long as you're here, you're safe.

If the shield disappears, it becomes a good prey for the daemon lords.

‘Uriel. You were right to run. ’

I became more confident. Humanity has been so hard on one who was expelled from the abyss.

God damn it!

All I did was curse.

Will the colony ever be a hero enough to change this?

‘It'll be quicker if I stop them. ’

In fact, I left half of it to the colonists and thought about playing in the back.

However, the situation is difficult. This was likely to be inadequate, even at full strength.

“So should we head for Earth? ”

“Dad, are you really asking because you don't know? ”

Hmm. My heart was hot.

But I didn't vote outside.

“I've been asleep for a long time. I just want to make sure I have a clear memory. ”

“Ah, of course. She thought about something else for a while. Forgiveness.”

Whew! You sigh and nod.

It's dangerous to dig too deep.

If I did wrong, I could have wasted my chance like honey.

Soon Lyra spoke.

“Earth is the final battlefield. It's where the Great Star comes from, and it's currently underwater to do that. Apparently they Awaken Humans and use them as catalysts. ”

Catalyst.

As I chewed on the word, Rye's expression solidified.

“It is a great dishonor to go there before the final battle. because there's very little point in killing a human being like an ant. The Great Star and a few others seem to be hitting on human possibilities, but it's just a bug. ”

Lyra, Queen of Treasure.

I was convinced by what she said.

Never, ever let the daemon roads get back to Earth in one piece.

Catalyst. That means they're sacrifices to become "gods."

‘Damn it.’

The heat burns out. I can hardly stand the temptation to grind his teeth.

I tried so hard, but when I died, I ran for my life!

From the monsters' point of view, it looks like a struggle.

“Where is the Great Star? ”

“Do you want to see it? ”

I shook my head.

The Great Star. Behind all things.

I need to check it with these two eyes.

* * * * *

Through the Great Gate of the Altar, the Dark Merchants gathered there.

Strange people who only wear hats with black whole bodies.

No eyes, no nose, no ears. All I have is my mouth. If you could just stand at a distance and put your arms and legs on a black cylindrical ball, you would be able to believe it.

The Dark Merchant's only fashion was hats. I was able to distinguish their ranks with hats to some extent.

The lowest rank was wearing a brown ordinary bread hat. The more you get on top of it, the more decorative or stylish it becomes.

‘This must be the place. ’

I've never met a black merchant before, but I've never seen one run on such a large scale. All the buildings that reached the sky were full of them, and all the treasures, slaves and monsters were rolling around like dust.

“Uriel Ball. Thank you for visiting our Merchant Guild. ”

Once you entered the entrance, a dark merchant in a hat with a red jewel welcomed you.

“I say I know. Welcome to Uriel Gong's first visit. ”

Know? The name was unusual.

It's hard to pronounce, so it's rather easy to remember.

When Lyra saw it, she still said with a blunt expression.

“Lord wants to see the Great Star." Make way. "

“Since you've been here for a hundred years, you might be wondering. But you have to wait a little bit. ”

“Should we wait? Don't you know who this is? ”

Lyra turns on the sympathy. Just staring at me like the queen of thunder, my whole body was full of excitement.

If you look at me with that face and eyes, it changes to a hundred and eighty degrees.

The woman's transformation was innocent, but Lyra's condition was severe.

Knowing it, I scratched my head without hair.

“One of you has visited the Great Star before. ”

“Who is that? ”

“You are the ball of Andaton Bruciel. ”

“· · · · · · · Huh. ”

Lyra snorts later.

A daemon rod named after Bruciel. It means he's here.

Even Lyra of the underworld could not grow properly in front of his name.

“But it doesn't make sense to wait. Since when does it take an order to see the Great Star? ”

It was a compromise.

Knowing it was embarrassing and not responding easily.

That's what makes Andaton Bruciel so great.

Knowing that I was hesitant for a long time, I sighed.

“Very well. Let me tell you. The gate of the Castle Tower, where you can see the Great Star, will open in an hour. I want you in front of the tower in an hour. ”

Knowledge bowed its head.

Then he turns around and says small things to Lyra.

“Ryra, the time for repayment is running out. Over time, you know? that you are also one of the mortgages. ”

Lyra's face turns slightly red.

Embarrassed, like he's messing with his pride.

Maybe I felt more like I was by your side.

‘Moringa.’

This means that Lyra had secured her body and borrowed money for the war.

Soon, I realized that I was completely gone.

“Lord, let me show you. ”

Leia doesn't turn her head. Instead, I moved forward trembling.

I didn't ask.

* * * * *

You spent the remaining time exploring the Dark Merchants' stronghold.

Goblins, vampires, Kelberos, etc. There was nothing I wouldn't sell. Seeing the treasure lying around like nothing I've ever seen, I stick my tongue out.

‘If only Daemon-Lord had taken the treasures here and invaded Earth. ’

Rather than kill him, he would have run away to avoid extinction.

But something even more surprising came out of Lyra's mouth.

“Slaves and objects here are just for show. Things that are ‘real’ are often traded through auctions. Lord Lord has never participated, but auctions are held once a year. ”

Once a year, it has already been done a hundred times.

“If you're lucky, you can find good quality goods and slaves at cheap prices. So far, I have participated on my behalf, but in the future, you will need to participate directly. ”

I was busy explaining in detail everything I didn't think Lyra knew, as if this vast space was familiar.

And the more I looked around here at the League of Merchants, the more I realized how little humanity had been trapped inside us.

‘I should have been adventurous, adventurous. ’

Humanity was defensive.

I was the same.

All kinds of doors appeared, but there were not many people to explore and pioneer there.

I should have moved on my own. It's regrettable to only face enemies who play the hero.

But not anymore.

I couldn't stay as a frog in a well anymore.

The dark merchants are busy moving. I felt like I saw a well-woven anthill.

Occasionally, monsters looked at me.

“It's been a hundred years. ”

“Was the rumor of death a lie? ”

“I hear the Carpetdiem of Extinction is after you. Kick.No luck. ”

At least it was clear that it was not a positive view.

Every time, Lyra looks at the light in her eyes, and the monsters quickly turn their heads.

This was a realm of inevitability.

Where all fights are forbidden.

“Looks like it's time. ”

“Ahh, already · · · · · · · ·! ”

Lyra expressed her regrets.

But there was already time.

Leira sets foot towards the Castle Tower.

A giant tower in the center of an alliance. It was a castle tower.

* * * * *

In front of the tower is a long line.

Thousands of demons. All kinds of monsters. The one in front of them.

‘Daemon Road · · · · · · · ·! ’

Andaton Bruciel!

I looked it up in no time.

But it was amazing.

Their breaths, their magical powers, were not tangled at all and were moving as one.

‘You've been trained well. ’

A monster appears to be at least Lv.6.

If it's Lv.6, it's Ogre grade. The opponent must have an Enhancement Level of 300.

Those monsters have become more powerful after training. Thousands of them.

Overwhelming.

I shivered and approached the tower.

Laira was on guard. Even though it was inevitable, the pressure felt from them was like a sharp spear.

Soon, I stood at the gate of the tower, where I could see him.

Andaton Bruciel.

A demon with two horns!

He had eight wings just like me, but much smaller than me. He was about two meters tall and muscular, but his eyes were so cold.

But I never even saw him as a hero.

Nevertheless, I was more nervous than when I saw Uriel Diablo.

One thing's for sure.

Andaton Bruciel is one of Daemon-Lord's ‘pinnacles'!

He didn't even look at me.

You mean you don't even care? ’

Uriel Diablo. It's been a hundred years since he appeared, and I can give you a single glance, but not for Andaton Bruciel.

I don't think it's a good fit.

Even Lyra used to be called "The Authentic Name."

Bruciel is the name of a powerful evil god. The name was also well known to me.

Yuck!

Soon the gates of the Castle Tower were opened.

“Only Daemon-Lord can enter the interior of the Castle Tower. Please go.”

Lyra bows her head.

I moved my feet in light of what I meant to know.

Next to him, Andaton Bruciel is with him.

* * * * *

The interior of the castle tower is quiet.

I quietly walked the steps leading to the heavens of the tower.

Andalton Bruciel, too, was still just walking out with a blank face.

How many hours did he walk like that?

It was a time for me to feel immortal.

I didn't have much time in the first place.

- Time remaining: 221 minutes.

2,440 minutes. Long for long, short for short.

Only a tenth of that is left.

What happens when time runs out in the middle? ’

I couldn't help but wonder.

The stairs continue endlessly.

Heaven. Maybe the place leading up to more is not the Castle Tower.

I'm running out of time. What will happen to this body after the spiritual transition?

He could have collapsed suddenly.

I couldn't help thinking.

Andaton Bruciel, why don't we take this guy instead of just running out of time in the middle?

But then I denied it. Such a choice is enough at the end.

‘I see the end. ’

Infinite static for a long time.

‘15 minutes.’

I was only 15 minutes away from getting to the Great Star.

At the end of the stairs lies a vast cloud of clouds.

Clear clouds and harsh winds. The world was bright, and there was a great ‘light’ between the clouds.

A giant god of light!

If that's not God, then what is God?

No, whatever "god" may be, he will not have any value in that existence.

The size and "scale" were overwhelming enough to dare to reach the universe.

But God was asleep.

“You are mine alone. ”

Then Andaton Bruciel begins to move towards the light.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!

His body burns. My whole body was melting and I repeated it.

Nevertheless, he did not stop.

Soon after that, he reached out his hand and was about to approach the God of Light.

Percussion!

Bounced off.

“· · · · · · · Dare. ”

Once again, he reaches out.

It was a powerful obsession, but Andaton Bruciel was lacking in power to contain that enormous "being."

Yeah, it is.

It's not enough.

I could tell.

The moment I saw that god, I was distracted. It took away all my gaze.

It's huge even when it's not finished.

There is Orlot, and he's devouring everything.

But at the same time, there was anger.

‘The beginning of everything. ’

Is that a great star?

That's how it all started?

Duck!

I walked.

Bloop!

The closer I got, the less flesh I lost. My whole body's on fire.

My wings are torn, broken, and my body can't take it.

The same power that bounced off of Andaton Bruciel worked, but I didn't stop.

He saves his own life.

But I'm different. This body was not mine, and even if it were my body, I would have walked without giving up.

Yeah, if I have to risk my life, I will.

If that's your condition!

If that's the way to erase all this frustration and despair...

“Asshole!! ”

["Metastasis" has run out of time.]

[Begin ‘Return’.]

* * * * *

A great light struck me.

When I opened my eyes again, I remembered a few words in front of me.

[Mixed Soul with Uriel Diablo 58%]

[‘Siman (Lv. 9)’ and ‘Dominator (Lv. 9)’ skills have been assimilated.]

[‘Metastasis (???)' Skill has been created.]

[Awakened]

[Fairytale with overwhelming presence significantly increases potential.]

[Earned 5,000 pt.]

I felt dizzy, like I had a long dream.

The cool breeze touches my cheek. The world was morning, and I had seen this.

‘From North Korea.’

This is the foothills of North Korea.

I was lying in a place made of leaves.

Also, waking me was not just nature.

“You opened your eyes! ”

“You're awake!”

“I beg you, I beg you. We have sinned greatly by destroying the mountains. Please forgive us our sins. ”

I turned my head.

The Three Hunters.

Those who gathered to catch the golden blue fur were gathered at my feet.
