Main Character Hides His Strength

The pale moon illuminates the rugged rocky mountains. A fortress situated all over the rocky mountain, with frightening eyes of full-grown dwarves staring down the mountain.

A black shadow creeps up over the grim granite rock in a dead mouse.

“Savages!”

The desperate beginner's shout soon turned into a resounding trumpet, causing the entire battlefield to be consumed.

A number of siege weapons boasting dwarves are aligned and ominous black shadows are spreading at frightening speeds beneath the mountain as they line up.

The dwarves are familiar with the Black Shadow's notoriety.

Barbarians to the north.

A true undocumented disaster.

Those barbarians, called the Unstoppable Army, were cunningly changing routes and invading the Dwarf kingdom until they were defeated on the frontier of the Elven Kingdom.

It's a fight that never wins in the first place.

In the mountains overlooking the battlefield, the Dwarf king wearing a crown had to watch his people and warriors' burrows fall one by one into overwhelming Barbarian violence.

“How could this be...”

A boasting siege weapon is also a straw house in front of the strength and overwhelming tenacity of a famous Dwarf.

But the battle will not end this way.

Probably the king and continent of the Dwarf kingdom, Dynkraft saw a black flame burn in the middle of the rubble that had begun to fall to the Barbarians.

“Ino! Issh! ”

The black flame soon settled among the barbarians who took over the fortress, turning it into a huge black figure.

“Doron! Troy! Doron! ”

Barbarians who were advancing to the death toll were somewhat bewildered when the black figure appeared.

The black flame bloomed inside the other burrow, creating different forms of black.

“Murk! Ino! ”

A blasphemous cry shook the battlefield.

There are those in black robes at the center.

The Apocalypse. They summoned us to the battlefield.

As one Achin joins us, thunder strikes the battlefield and destroys everything.

Kung fu!

A thunderbolt falls upon the barbarian horde.

Barbarians who looked invincible, however, were merely mortals in the presence of the immortal Asin.

The barbarians, who were marching towards the settlement at once, settled down and heard a eerie horn flute under the mountain.

Phew. Phew.

Retreat signal.

When the barbarians heard that sound, they threw away their captured swords and equipment and retreated down the mountain.

The battle that seemed to have been defeated by the unilateral Dwarf Kingdom turned into a bland victory.

“What do you think? King of the great dwarves. ”

In the darkness, a voice with a charm that is attuned but difficult to resist resounded.

Soon, the protagonist of the voice appeared.

It was a human girl in a mask covering half her face.

Behind her, a handsome middle-aged man with a face similar to hers guards her back with a stiff face.

‘Is that the Masked Witch called the spiritual fulcrum of the Apocalypse? ’

One of the warriors guarding the king was watching the hordes of the Apocalypse with sharp eyes.

“As you have seen, our Apocalypse can provide a shield that can defend against human empires and any external threats. ”

A masked saint. Sarah Zero walks slowly to the wall and is captured in one eye, revealing the battlefield.

Barbarians hide their tracks in the fiery battlefields everywhere. In that vacancy, there were only three assistants who stood outstanding and showed their overwhelming presence.

The face of Dynkraft, the dwarf king, has a dark look on his face despite his victory.

It was a victory that only hurt.

Many of the warriors were killed by the Barbarians, and the best of them were consumed as tools to summon Asin.

On the contrary, there was very little damage to the Barbarians.

They cleverly retreated as soon as Asin appeared and minimized the damage.

I know. Achilles' heel.

Neither Sarah Zero nor the Dwarf king knew it.

“But, as you know, that shield is not permanent. Barbarians are cunningly aware of the weaknesses of shields. They will make you withdraw your shield over and over again, and each time you lose your most loyal subjects. ”

Sarah Zero gestures.

Then a middle-aged woman who looked like her standing behind her took something out of her arms and gave it to Sarah.

It was a scroll of black iron light that evoked unspeakable profanity just by watching.

Sarah Zero presented the scroll to the Dwarf king.

“But there's no way around it. This scroll will ensure the power of eternal protection, not a single sided one. ”

Dynkraft, however, simply watches the scroll and does not reach out his hand.

Sarah Zero followed by a sweet voice.

“Only you with the will of Iron Blood and the strength of a rock can defend the realm from the threat of these barbarians. We don't ask for anyone else's help. ”

Sweet temptation.

Dyne Craft, however, shakes his head.

He also knew.

How dangerous that scroll is.

I could feel Dynkraft with one hand before. It's hard to even imagine the creature inside the scroll talking to itself.

But one day you will have to touch this scroll.

when all of his loyal followers, who the barbarians would invade and summon, were gone.

But there is another way for a Dwarf king.

Not the Apocalypse, but another force to hold hands with.

Kim Sung-cheol. And the World Congress he presides over.

If we call on them for help, we may be able to save the kingdom from the threat we face.

But that's impossible.

Sarah Zero said with a thin smile, as if a dwarf king like that had read his mind.

“Or will you join hands with someone who has taken the kingdom's sacred objects without permission? ”

“… I can't do that. ”

After a long silence, the dwarf king opens his mouth.

This should never have happened.

A Dwarf allies with a thief who puts his name in the first column.

Even though the kingdom was about to fall, Din Craft had no intention of asking the man, Kim Sung-cheol, for help.

“But I won't touch the scroll right now. ”

That's the Dwarf's stubbornness.

However, one dwarf warrior who was watching this scene was thinking something else.

“... This isn't it. ”

His name is Akkad.

At one time, the man with an unusual history of serving in the Punishment Force personally knew Kim Sung-cheol.

He's not as evil as the Dwarves think he is.

On the contrary.

Akkad remembers.

The man who stood alone against the evil everyone turned away from.

Before leaving the keep, he looks for each of his closest colleagues and leaves a meaningful note.

“Let's stay alive. ”

“Don't die. ”

“Survive. ”

Nor did I greet my sons serving in the same fortress.

“Here you go. I'll be right back. I need you to stay calm. Okay? - Okay.

“You listen to your family and get along well with your friends. ”

After a half-day's farewell, Akkad leaves the fortress alone and heads south.

To the land of the Elves who defeated the Barbarians once.

“… this is my last duty! ”

For some reason, the man walked into a dense forest carrying an axe.

*

[Combination Success!]

A knight's stone was created after the archer's stone.

“Great! My turn next! ”

Bertelkia opens the page and conveys the power inside her to Kim Sung-cheol.

Small stats have been raised.

In addition, the record left by the creator of the Giant, Ekhardt, also appeared in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol carelessly read the records left by a man thousands of years ago.

[The betrayal of the Seven Heroes has been confirmed. Sister Bestiare... No, she's still seducing other heroes with her purity. Brother Zaatos knows what they are up to, but he will not refuse his colleagues' offer without firm will. Desport doesn't say anything, but I do. There's a man behind Vestiaret, the inciter and the tetrarch.

He hates humanity more than anyone, not this world.]

“ ……. ”

Records that are meaningless now.

Kim Sung-cheol's experience transcended an old record.

Kim Sung-cheol took his eyes off the record and woke up.

Bertelkia awaits him.

“How are you feeling? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

“Totally healed! ”

Bertelkia looks very happy.

We did the long-awaited Creator Quest and cleaned up the holes we'd been through.

“As expected, I'm recovering from my creationist quest. If I'd known this was gonna happen, I would've stopped by sooner or later. ”

Bertelkia knows nothing.

What happened to him, what healed him.

That's why I can talk about the future in a genuine way.

“Quickly, we must find the other Giants and carry out the rest of the quest. There's only two left! ”

A deep shadow was cast over Kim Sung-cheol's eyes, who was listening to Zanzako Bertelkia.

‘Bertelgia. No more quests are possible. ’

You'll have to tell me someday.

The reality of her situation.

But it won't be easy.

Probably leave a big scar.

To Kim Sung-cheol, to Bertelkia.

This is not the time.

‘Later, let's talk when the situation is settled. ’

Kim Sung-cheol thought so and muttered as he looked at a book that was floating in the center of the cockpit.

“... Are you number 6? ”

The book didn't answer the question, but Kim Sung-cheol's eyes seemed to shake with a subtle resemblance to Vertelgia.

- Kung-.

Kim Sung-cheol securely closed the door of the cockpit.

It was a dark night.

At dawn, there was a faint aura of dawn, but the thick fallout that dominated the eastern sky showed nothing more.

“ ……. ”

A wind blowing from the east passed by Kim Sung-cheol. A sudden smell of sulfur pierced my nose.

“Let's go back.”

Sylphid is now in the spirit of the Elven Kingdom.

The next destination and purpose will be to think about it immediately after returning to Sylphide.

All he needed was a drink.

He walks back slowly, leaving no one behind.

In the trenches of Ixion, Kim Sung-cheol reunited with the old man who was left alone. The old man closes his eyes with a faint smile. He looks dead, but he's alive and well.

It was a dream. A dream so good that the tail of the mouth slips away.

Kim Sung-cheol doesn't know if his dream is about a happy past or a vague expectation of the future.

But for a little while, he left me something to think about.

Kim Sung-cheol returned to the magic camp where the Elves were waiting, thinking about the old man's dream.

Elves were getting ready to leave, too.

“I was just waiting for you to come. ”

As Kim Sung-cheol approached, the Elves opened up the magic camp.

Kim Sung-cheol looked to the east in the light of going to another space.

Suddenly, the bright eastern sky was covered in blood. It was a frightening sight that appeared to warn us that the sky had abandoned man, which had never been seen before.

After passing through a few magical factions, Kim Sung-cheol returned to the land of the Elves.

Unlike Ixion, where there was no one, Elven Forest was an exciting banquet atmosphere.

Is it because the end of the century in Ixion is too strong to stay in the brain?

Kim Sung-cheol was rarely able to adapt.

Kim Sung-cheol headed to the palace with the strength of the Elven soldiers.

To greet the Elven King later. Joining Marrakia.

But shortly after arriving at the palace, Kim Sung-cheol found an urgent stream of air flowing inside the palace.

Seeing the rushing knights, archers, and whispering substitutes, Kim Sung-cheol arrived at the throne room of the Elf King.

Inside the throne room, a man with a stubborn beard, clearly distinct from the elves, appeared confidently behind his back with an axe on his back.

Dwarves? Refugees? ’

Not just any refugee.

Then we won't set foot in the Palace of the Catalan Elf.

Sung-cheol Kim approached the dwarf with curiosity.

The servants recognized Kim Sung-cheol and announced his prevention aloud.

“You're in the captain's shoes. ”

It got into the dwarf's ears.

The dwarf turns to face Kim Sung-cheol.

“Look who it is. ”

The Dwarf said.

Kim Sung-cheol recognized the Dwarf's face at a glance.

‘That guy. That must be the man who served with you on the front lines. ’

Kim Sung-cheol didn't remember his name, but the dwarf remembered Kim Sung-cheol's name as well as his prisoner number.

“Isn't that 34? I knew 34 was the enemy of the world! ”

“Who's there?”

Bertelgia, who was following behind Kim Sung-cheol, asked a grumpy dwarf pretending to know Kim Sung-cheol well.

“I know him. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said so and approached Akkad, a former comrade.

Slightly welcomed and strange expectations.

‘It's not uncommon for a Dwarf who likes to be stuck on his own ground to come to his feet. A Dwarf, however, is at least a happy guest. ’

Kim Sung-cheol's hunch was right.

Akkad, who pretended to know him without any manners, said to Sung-cheol Kim with a straight face.

“The kingdom is in danger. ”
