The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 191

▶ Soul Zone Lv 5 is activated.

▶ Countless souls respond to your call.

Namgung could feel the clamor of the soul shaking beneath the surface.

‘That’s incredible.’

A huge number of souls were summoned in London, but the souls below the lake were clearly different from them.

Rather, it felt like they were going to eat Namgung, who had called them.

▶ Soul Detection Lv 3 is activated.

Namgung stared at the lake as if he had forgotten that Yorde even existed. His eyes sparkled, and the monstrous spirits beneath the lake came into view.

[Keeeeeeeeeeee—!!!] As

the black mass got closer, an eardrum-shattering noise hit the lake.

▶ There are no friendly spirits.

▶ Soul Ministry Lv 4 cannot be used.

▶ Soul Absorption Lv 6 cannot be used.

“Huh?!”

Namgung’s body staggered with pain as if an awl was stabbing his temple.

[Are you okay?]

Moo-myeong asked, looking at him like that.

‘Can’t I use soul ministry?’

Rather than feeling the pain, Namgung felt embarrassed at not being able to use his abilities. The pain from just a moment ago simply meant that the souls had rejected his necromancy.

‘Does this mean that the spirits under the lake are hostile to me?’

No, something is different.

If they were hostile spirits, they would have left the spirit zone and attacked him in the first place.

▶ Soul Eye Lv 3 is activated.

Namgung looked at the black lump of soul tangled beneath the surface of the water.

[Keeeeeeek…!!!]

As if they were aware of the eyes penetrating them, black lumps under the water moved quickly as if trying to block Namgung’s vision.

Broken…! It’s so scary…!!

A spark appeared within Namgung’s vision. Despite the intense pain, Namgoong tried to look deeper.

“Where are you paying attention?!”

Yorde let out a roar as he looked at Namgung, who was ignoring him and looking at the lake.

Kwaaaaang–!!

But at that moment, a huge ax came down in front of her.

“Huh?!”

At the same time, she had no choice but to step back due to the rush of sharp swords.

The spirit soldiers summoned to protect Namgung began to cut down her Vikings without hesitation.

“How…”

She couldn’t believe it.

Even if it was Namgung, even his summons were overwhelming his Vikings.

Ppa-deuk-

‘Is this the difference between a revealer and a contractor?’

“…Do not be ridiculous!!”

She couldn’t admit it.

The Revelators who acted as if the world could not be saved except by them.

From the beginning, she didn’t like them playing heroes as if they were the saviors of humanity.

In the end, most of those chosen as revealers were ordinary people who were not much different from themselves.

Their single action cost the lives of countless people, and they packaged it as a sacrifice for the greater good.

“The guys who took my family away…!!”

In a pantheon filled with the greed of revelers, her family became mere casualties.

That’s why she gained strength when others cheered for the Revelators.

The power to protect oneself and not to be subjugated to the will of others.

But…

Namgoong in front of me was so huge, as if he was laughing at himself for thinking he had become stronger.

“Are you trying to take away my power now?”

Poop-!!!

At that moment, her back buckled.

“…Ouch!!”

Blood flowed from her mouth along with a suffocating pain.

Kwasik-!!!

Someone grabbed the back of her head and slammed her down on the deck as she stumbled, unable to come to her senses from the unexpected blow.

“quiet.”

Namgung gently pressed her head and spoke in a low voice.

“It’s crazy.”

“Yes you bastard…!!”

Jord struggled as hard as he could to escape from Namgung’s grasp, but the more he tried, the more strength he exerted on Namgung’s hand.

‘There’s something under the lake.’

Perhaps it was he who made him reject his soul ministry.

“I thought it was an empty lake, but it looks like it has an owner.”

Namgoong focused all his attention on finding the core hidden in the lumpy black mass.

“Come out.”

He raised the [Kimyeong Sword] above his head and struck the surface of the lake with all his might.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

▶ The demons of the sword smell.

▶ The sword demons started to get excited.

The moment the blade hit the surface of the water, all the demons attached to the [Kimyeong Sword] began rushing towards the darkness beneath the surface.

Kuruk…! Grumbling…!!

Air bubbles bubbled on the surface like boiling lake water.

Shook-!!!

At that moment, something jumped out from above the cotton.

“…!!”

Her eyes widened as she saw the thorn that grazed Jord’s cheek as he lay on the floor.

“Hmm… thorns… or bones? “I don’t know what the guy under the lake is… but it looks like he doesn’t plan on getting out easily.”

Namgung said as he pulled out a sharp bone that was almost like a spear and examined it.

[Could this be… Natriel’s bones?]

“Do you know something?”

[I know. Crazy… the owner of the lake was Natriel? Somehow… Then this ridiculous power is understandable.]

The Demon King looked at the bone Namgung was holding and said as if he was dumbfounded.

“Why don’t you start by explaining what it is?”

[Natriel is one of the primordial spirits. In general, it can be said to be an older spirit than the spirits we know.]

“Is it something like an Elder Dragon?”

[Puh-ha? You can’t compare the primordial spirit with a lowly reptile whose brain has melted. They are the progenitors of spirits. If I had to really ask, it would be correct to say that he is of the same status.]

“Why is a guy like that at the bottom of the lake?”

[Why? Since he is dead, it must be so.]

It was such an obvious answer that Namgung burst out laughing.

[If the Aspects are managers who oversee the world, the Primordial Spirits are the creators who give birth to the world. They are the beings who create a world and become the core of the world.]

“Wasn’t the world completed in the beginning when Wu and Ran were there?”

[What they created is a dimension. The texture is a little different. The Yoran clan is human and you are also human, but aren’t you in different worlds? That is the dimension, and world refers to the world where the proxy clan lives, like the demon world where I lived.]

Namgung nodded at his words.

“Then what kind of system did that primordial spirit create?”

[As far as I know, Natriel is the Holy Spirit who created Elvenheim, a world where elves live.]

“Elves?”

Of course, you could often see weapons with elf names on them, even in yaksha bundles.

That meant that they were also people who existed at the carnival.

“…but I’ve never seen it before?”

[I guess so. Because they were exterminated.]

Lathea answered.

[The elves of Elvenheim and the dwarves of Oltmorn were those who rebelled against their status along with their father.]

“Why are you saying that now? In that case, there is a possibility that they are trapped in the Tower of Wu. As Carlos said, the tower is a place to trap those who rebelled.”

[no. That didn’t need to be said.]

“Why…?”

[Because they are definitely dead. Perfectly.]

Unlike other times, her voice was full of confidence.

[Because they were an example. The head fell off in front of those of us who rebelled. And furthermore, the world they lived on was completely destroyed. That’s probably why Natriel’s body is lying here.]

“No way…”

Namgung rolled his eyes as he looked at the black lumps gathered at the bottom of the lake.

[The fact that Natriel exists… maybe the vengeful spirits inside are those of the elves.]

“Then shouldn’t you lend me even more strength? “Just like you all, I am also someone who fights to rebel against my status.”

Sigh…!

It was then.

The surface of the lake exploded, and sharp bones rained down towards Namgung.

thud! thud! Kukukuk…!!

Namgung jumped into the lake to avoid the bones sticking out on the deck as if they were being driven into a wedge.

“…!!!”

Yorde could not help but be surprised by his sudden actions.

“Well…”

Her pride was hurt at the sight of him not paying attention to her, but she had no choice but to bite her lip as she touched the back of her head.

‘I couldn’t do anything.’

It was upsetting, but it was true.

Even though he poured out all he could, he was unable to land a single successful attack on Namgung.

Wow –

she looked at the black lake.

When I first saw it, the clear lake felt like a strong support for the Haein clan, which exerts its power in the water, but now it looked like a monster that would eat me at any moment.

‘Can I come in…?’

Gulp –

She swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

bang!!!

I got nervous and hit the railing of the ship with my fist as hard as I could.

“…damn!”

I was scared.

She boasted that she was confident in the water, but she didn’t have the courage to jump into the water.

“What a monster…”

Yorde muttered as he tried to find Namgung, who was invisible because the lake was covered in black smoke.

* * *

Bubble… Bubble….

Namgung shoved the [Atran Deep Sea Suit’s Lungs] into his mouth and looked around.

▶ Due to the toxicity of the lake, the lungs of the Atran deep-sea suit are contaminated.

▶ Usage time is reduced.

▶ 10 minutes → 5 minutes

[This is an incredible feat. [It really is like a primordial spirit.]

Nothing was visible inside the lake, as if ink had been released.

The vision, which had turned black like a warning notice, did not look good at first glance.

[Nangung Haengyeo or it would be best not to think about taming the primordial spirit through necromancy. If you make a mistake, you too can be contaminated by the poison of the Holy Spirit.]

Lathea warned him.

[I agree with what she said. No matter how much you do, you cannot handle the primordial spirit yet.]

At her words, the Demon King also stopped him from going under the lake.

‘Everyone seems to be misunderstanding something, but don’t worry. Because what I’m trying to find is not the primordial spirit.’

[Then?]

‘Look carefully. Is this terrible spiritual energy really coming from the corpse of the primordial spirit?’

[Hmm?]

‘This is not the spiritual energy emitted by the Primordial Spirit. It is a spirit emitted by the vengeful spirits of dead elves. Rather, the primordial spirit is being used by them?’

[But didn’t they say that there is definitely an owner of the lake? Then who is the entity that deals with those vengeful spirits?]

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshh…!!

The black smoke cleared and the figure of a mountain goat with long horns appeared.

[Natriel…]

The Demon King looked at the Holy Spirit emitting brilliant light and muttered in a voice full of tension.

But Namgung’s eyes did not look at the Holy Spirit.

‘It’s obvious that he is the one who handles the Holy Spirit.’

Elvenheim achieved greater prosperity than anyone else in the past.

A forest lord who led 100,000 elves.

[I was waiting.]

Akasha Tinubiel, the king of the elves, said.
