Main Character Hides His Strength

77. Old Servants (3)

A king.

It is not reasonable.

Kim Sung-cheol never thought about becoming king himself.

"If I become king, I will be nothing but Chromgard II, a deadly warrior." ’

All those who stand on top have responsibilities and obligations accordingly.

Those who forfeit their mission become armed forces or tyrants and hand the corresponding damage over to the people below.

Kim Sung-cheol hates these things.

Kim Sung-cheol refused an old servant's offer in the basement.

“Fritz, I have no intention of being king. ”

Schnelmer said in a humble tone, as if to expect it.

“We already have tens of thousands of believers who believe in you, and we're stockpiling wealth to rebuild the city. With your permission, we will build a country for you at any time. ”

Kim Sung-cheol felt tired.

I felt uncomfortable and unnecessary at the moment.

He is reluctant to hear the story of Schnelmer.

“The third disaster brought order to all mankind to make a king. One king who reigns over all mankind. There's only one person for me. You are the Senior Viceroy. How can an emperor or an ancient king who has done nothing in the face of disaster represent all of us? ”

“What would I do if I were king? ”

Kim Sung-cheol's indifferent voice rang out.

Schnelmer hurriedly said with a joyful smile.

“Will you be our king? ”

“What do you want me to do? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked again.

Fritz Schnelmer was a man who could read Kim Sung-cheol's mind well.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes flashed like a mirror. He offered the king a gift and did not waver a bit.

"Amazing, a man who has lived as a wild dog for over a decade as an enemy of the world, thirsting for power more than anyone else. ’

As a long-time deputy, Schnelmer knows that there are no idle jokes or rhetorical comments available to Kim Sung-cheol.

It only nurtures Kim Sung-cheol's anger and suspicion.

Schnelmer speaks in a harsh tone to his old supervisor, who urges an answer with something.

“... Of course, there is one thing you can do. Here.”

“Here?”

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of this.

Schnelmer continued:

“Destroy the Book of Catastrophes. ”

Maybe this is what Schnelmer really wanted.

Kim Sung-cheol felt that way.

Unless he becomes king, it's a minor matter.

“Why destroy the Book of Catastrophes? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked a question, feeling the scattered pieces of thought as they gathered together.

In silence, Schnelmer clears his mind and opens his mouth.

“Because the book of disasters is the source of disaster on this earth. ”

“Does it mean that disasters come from each other? ”

“That's right.”

Schnelmer nods and pulls an old parchment out of his arms.

Kim Sung-cheol understood the identity of the parchment at a glance.

It's different, but I've seen it before.

Is that...? ’

Schnelmer placed the two dried parchments on the table and stared at Sung-cheol Kim.

“This is an ancient literature called God's Writing. It was acquired when the Kingdom of Ruettignia was destroyed. ”

“I know what it is. ”

Kim Sung-cheol stared at God's writing and said.

He turns his head to Schnelmer as he grips the writings of the gods.

“Fritz, can you read this? ”

“Nothing. We just had someone with the ability to read on our side to help us read. ”

“Oh.”

In front of Kim Sung-cheol's eyes, a loving face now touched and passed by. However, he lifted the parchment without showing any discoloration.

“Madam captain, it's dangerous to see it with your own eyes, even if you are the captain. ”

Schnelmer knew what Kim Sung-cheol was doing and immediately withdrew. But Kim Sung-cheol didn't stop.

because he has the ability to solve the second disaster.

Reader (Beginner)

Kim Sung-cheol also now deserves to read the articles of God.

Although he is said to be a beginner, it is true that he is qualified.

Kim Sung-cheol spread God's writing without shaking.

The myriad of stars I had seen in Catacombs before spread around Kim Sung-cheol.

In the past, Kim Sung-cheol felt a sense of unconsciousness in the sea of infinite characters, but now, Kim Sung-cheol was able to gaze freely at the words that rise in the sea of letters in a clear mind.

[Record of Asin Hildegar]

In the text, she appeared in front of Kim Sung-cheol as if she was beautiful as a goddess and actually had such an atmosphere.

But the goddess was huge. In fact, it was huge.

Kim Sung-cheol, standing in front of a woman who was large enough to fill half the world, felt a sense of emptiness, a dimness, and a fear that originated therefrom.

She said something to Kim Sung-cheol.

There was nothing I could understand except thunder. However, in the chaos, Kim Sung-cheol suddenly discovered that he understood the woman's words.

[… after God died, the world began to crumble. At first, the acolytes of God prevented the collapse of the world in place of the gods. But the role of God is that no one can replace it. The gods' role in the sea of infinite power and duty melted away one by one. The early saints thought it was their sacred duty, but the unworthy ones came up with a completely different way.]

From then on, I heard thunder again.

It was at the end that Kim Sung-cheol understood the woman's words again.

[… the corrupt gods, in turn, erased the path to Asin, which God left on this earth. They were hidden in areas that ordinary humans could never reach, such as in the distant ocean, deep underground, or above the clouds. Except for one of the most dangerous. Thus, the adherents who upheld their own vile vested interests produced things that should not be created.]

At the end of the sentence, many things passed in front of Kim Sung-cheol in turn.

It had various shapes, such as swords, spears, slates, scrolls, floating lights, and inscriptions on the moon.

However, whatever form he was in, the goal seemed to be the same.

The spread of disaster.

They are the things that sow disasters on this land.

On its own.

The eyes of the great woman are closed.

She closed her eyes and even the infinite world of letters unfolded in front of Kim Sung-cheol eroded into darkness.

At the end, however, a letter like discord suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

[These records are all personal opinions of Hildegar, who was corrupted by evil gods.]

[Do not be deceived. In the words of those who would hinder integration and only wish the destruction of this world.]

[Come to us whenever you want the truth. Blessings are allowed to know the truth.]

At a moment, Kim Sung-cheol recognized that the author of the phrase was different from the author of God's writing.

And in the midst of Kim Sung-cheol's ritual, God's writing clearly imprinted a seal on the corner of the parchment.

‘Is this...? ’

When he regained consciousness, Kim Sung-cheol returned to the real world.

"Is this the ability of the reader…? ’

Simply put, I felt like I saw a movie. The problem is, even though the movie is boring, you can't run away in the middle.

‘Still, it's more fun than shocking Asia. ’

Kim Sung-cheol found Schnelmer staring at himself with surprised eyes thinking that way.

“Are you all right, madam? ”

“Not bad.”

Kim Sung-cheol returned the writings of Schnelmer's god.

“But I don't want to see it again. ”

“Everyone says that. ”

Schnelmer was just sitting in his library writing something.

Perhaps Kim Sung-cheol had been doing his own work for a long time, being immersed in God's writing.

Kim Sung-cheol glanced at the parchment called "The Book of God," as he heard the sound of a blind pen.

A seal I saw at the edge of the infinite world.

Kim Sung-cheol unknowingly reached out and unsealed the seal.

But it doesn't fall off.

Kim Sung-cheol looked elsewhere and exerted a spiritual force on his body.

Chuckle.

"Ahhhh!"

Maybe I gave him too much strength.

A piece of parchment falls out with a seal.

The moment I was surprised by Kim Sung-cheol's face, something miraculous happened.

The torn book of God has returned to its original form without regard to any cause.

Kim Sung-cheol's hand only had the seals removed without a trace of torn parchment.

“Why would you want to tear it up again? ”

Schnelmer asks with a clerical gesture while working on the document.

“Your hand slipped. ”

Kim Sung-cheol made a ridiculous excuse.

It's a superior privilege. It's called a demolition attack.

Schnelmer's attitude was indifferent.

“No matter how strong you are, you can't harm the god's writing. because it's made by the power of God in its own name. No matter how crumpled and torn and burned, it never loses its prototype. ”

But the seal fell.

While Schnelmer was chattering, Kim Sung-cheol put the seal in his pocket.

Even though Bertelkia saw it, Kim Sung-cheol didn't lose his temper.

“So it's God's writing, too. Remarkable.”

Kim Sung-cheol said.

“Everyone says the same thing. ”

Schnelmer gets up from his seat after finishing his work.

He remembers the faint smile, cherishing the writing of God on the table in his arms.

‘That should be enough to persuade us. ’

I thought I crossed the arm crevice.

It was then.

Kim Sung-cheol's sharp question flew like a dancer.

“How did you read that? ”

Kim Sung-cheol knows.

There is only one interpreter of God's known writings.

“It's exactly what you think. ”

Schnelmer did not hide the truth.

Rather, he considered this an opportunity.

“Princess Rise Heimer, he has helped to decipher God's writing. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's expression was stiff at the moment.

‘I'm sick of it.'

Kim Sung-cheol was disgusted and carelessly stared at his old servant.

With only one name, all interest disappeared.

Kim Sung-cheol asked with a cold voice that was different from before.

“Raise Himer was involved in the creation of the Apocalypse? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked bitterly.

What's with the accent? ’

Schnelmer senses something is wrong, but nods.

‘Something's not right. Didn't the X.O. still have feelings for Liz Himer? ’

During the panic, Kim Sung-cheol asked a question with a different voice.

“What is she of the Apocalypse? ”

“Nothing right now. You know, she's already deceased. But...”

“Only?”

“The one who deciphered the writings of God and gave us the way to go. I think of it as a kind of prophet. He predicted that with a righteous mind, you'd be willing to sacrifice one body for the world. ”

Schnelmer thought Kim Sung-cheol still liked Raise Heimer. In fact, so did Kim Sung-cheol's walking. How many people would abandon everything and turn their backs on the world to save the daughter of their old lover and not their own?

But his thoughts were wrong in the middle.

He did not know what Kim Sung-cheol saw in the spirit system and what he heard from the Wandering King.

“… I can't believe what she's saying. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said.

That one word implied everything that was going to happen.

Tuck.

A fragment of the Black Catastrophe rises onto the table.

Schnelmer's eyes shake faintly at the sight of it.

How did the X.O. manage to...? ’

He doesn't know.

The fact that disaster debris is given as compensation for disaster resolution.

“How much do you know about this? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked in an abstract tone.

Schneller took the option of answering the question because he felt the situation was going in a completely different direction than he intended, but there was no need to answer the question.

“Isn't it a substance called God's Earth, or a fragment of disaster? God is used to work miracles...”

“Is that all? ”

“Yes?”

“That's all I asked. ”

“Yes, that's all. ”

For the first time, Schnelmer lied.

It was an inevitable choice.

‘If you knew how it was made, you would never want to work with us. But God's soil is a must for our work. ’

It is not too late to tell the truth after a certain degree of industrial excellence.

A line wrapped in a small sacrifice for the greater good should be enough to appease the old boss.

But it was the worst fit.

Kim Sung-cheol snorted and got up on his feet, putting the debris from the disaster back into the abdominal unit.

“Who is in charge of the Apocalypse? Fritz, is it you, or is it someone else I don't know? ”

“Why do you ask that? ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned around, wearing the jacket that he had taken off.

“To stop selling my name. ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned to Schnelmer.

Schnelmer's indiscreet but resolute expression is intuitive.

His plan to capture Sung-cheol Kim failed.

‘Goddamn it. ’

An unintended failure.

Kim Sung-cheol believed that even if he didn't accept it right away, he could still maintain a friendly relationship.

But even that ended in failure.

“And I hope that Aedyr will stop killing Imperial knights." ”

Not only that.

Kim Sung-cheol sat on a chair with his coat on.

“From now on, I'll hear what I want to hear. Are you ready to answer the question? ”

Kim Sung-cheol intends to ask everything about the Apocalypse.

It is not permitted to Schnelmer.

“I'm sorry, madam. I think you'll have to excuse me for today. ”

Schnelmer stands in the darkness of his tent.

“Where are you going? Fritz, the story begins now. ”

Kim Sung-cheol had no intention of returning his old servant.

I've been trying to figure it all out.

The beginning and end of the Apocalypse. For its true purpose.

“I'm sorry, I'll see you next time. Madam captain, we'll talk about this later. ”

“Later. When will I see you again? ”

The moment Sung-cheol Kim said that, Fritz Schnelmer in the dark toppled the burning brazier.

As the raging and blazing flames blaze, Schnelmer's new brother vanishes with the black smoke.

Kim Sung-cheol had seen a similar technique before.

Unknown magic.

‘This is similar to Acquiroa's. ’

Kim Sung-cheol immediately got up and raised his senses extremely.

‘There are limits to magic without eternity. Probably couldn't have gone far. ’

Immediately, he looks around after the burning tent.

The strong men in black robes stand in front of him.

They were men armed with crossbows of strange red light.

It seems to be worth a try, given the spark of life with an unusual weapon.

Kim Sung-cheol's mouth caught a sneer that wasn't like him.

“Hey, I'm your savior? ”

The answer of the men was simple.

“Fuck you! ”

An arrow with a red jewel launched at Sung-cheol Kim in unison.

"Oh my God, those Asian shocking bastards. ’

Kim Sung-cheol took out his arm and struck down all the flying arrows.

However, at the moment when the arrow got hit by the arm karaz and broke, Kim Sung-cheol sensed an unnatural contraction of the air around him.

“Oh…? ”

Boom, boom!

A huge explosion occurred in the vicinity of Kim Sung-cheol.

The entire cavity was a huge explosion.

“Light all the explosives. Don't let him out. ”

Suddenly, Schnelmer walks quickly into a hidden clearing in the woods.

A servant in a black robe approaches and asks.

“Can you bury him with this? ”

“Impossible.”

Schnelmer takes his cigarette out and bites it in his mouth, muttering.

“But it will buy us some time. Release all troops. The target is the Tower of the Eunuch. ”

Schnelmer looks back at the beautiful tower that stands far away.

“The time has come to burn the book of false gods. ”
