The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Monster World.

It was an abandoned land in the Underworld, and it meant the place where monsters released from the gate live.

It is a place where wild monsters often fight to take over the land because it is quite devastated due to the gate break, but there was a place where no one waged a fight.

The only country with the same name as this world, a group that confronts the Underworld.

It was a hideout in a place called the self-proclaimed Monster Union.

There their troops were moving vigorously.

With loot on your back you couldn't put in your inventory.

"Sheesh, why do we have to carry this?"

Valdemar, who was dragging and moving a bundle of items larger than himself from the back of the group, said with an annoyed tone.

If this item were theirs, they would.

But no.

Already their inventory was full of items to the limit.

Until now, I had been using it without knowing that there was a limited capacity in my inventory, but this time I got a huge amount of items to experience it for the first time.

That's why I'm carrying this item.

I can't take it with me to the original world, so I'll leave the items here.

"What are you complaining about? You're the one who insisted on forming an alliance. You can give them a gift. Even if you don't, we don't have enough manpower."

“You can just move around.”

"Did you fall asleep while Sungjin explained? They say it's an area where you can't move."

Peter looked at him like he was pathetic and looked at the item he was dragging.

This item is Adamantium.

Until it was smelted properly and made into an item, it was an item with the limit of level 500 or higher, which is the standard for S grade.

Since it was such an item, they were moving it by hand.

"Do I still need to come out so low-key? I don't want to crawl over there."

"Don't complain about the least amount of sheep you're carrying. That's the tactic you're talking about."

"That's because you lost the bet, isn't it, third place?"

Peter distorted his expression at Valdemar's words.

A bet this time.

We talked about establishing a hierarchy according to how many monsters you catch.

Seeing the results was simple.

If you catch a monster, an hour's remaining time is added unconditionally, so it was just a comparison.

As a result, Seongjin who annihilated the monsters in the castle took the first place, followed by Valdemar in second place, Peter in third place, Asabel in fourth place, and Nurari in fifth place.

In the case of Asabel, she had to heal the monster union through her divine power, and the rank was low because she did not have wide area skills, and Nurari was not directly tamed by the monster, so she could not acquire the remaining time.

Still, when I took the Amptinus to Seongjin, who went first, the number of monsters I caught wasn't small, but compared to the others, it was shabby.

The two were fierce, and Peter lost.

… There were many excuses.

Due to the nature of the battlefield, there were many who bled, and due to the nature of the skill, this went to Valdemar's advantage.

He also had a wider range of skills and mainly hunted small monsters.

The counting over time was a huge penalty for him.

Despite competing in such an unfavorable circumstance, the difference is only ten hours and a little.

At this point, I wondered if it could be said that I had won.

But Peter didn't say it.

He couldn't make excuses twice.

instead.

"...In the ranking match, I win."

Leave these words behind and move forward quickly.

Seeing him like that, Valdemar smiled happily.

Unlike before, he had properly accepted himself as an adversary.

"It won't be as easy as it used to be."

Valdemar followed after him.

As usual, the two raced forward.

When you pass a certain point in the Monster World.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed.

It was about noon, and the sun suddenly disappeared from the sky and it became night.

The ground was damp and the trees around it were also lined with dry trees.

The difference is that a huge castle that had not been seen appeared and a river of blood was flowing.

“Is this, a barrier…?”

Asabel looked at it and said.

It looked very similar to the sealing skill and barrier used to prevent Samael from escaping from the previously created dungeon.

At that time, a barrier skill that was loaned to Allison with divine power to use.

It prevented the person inside from going outside, as well as hindering the use of space movement skills.

The more I came here, the more I thought it was similar to that, but when I saw it in person, I even thought that maybe this is the higher skill of the barrier.

“It’s true that a skill similar to a barrier is true. Rather, it can be said to be a higher skill.”

"Is that so?"

The cover-up was so dense that you couldn't find out about it at all until you came in, and it interfered with the movement of this place, of course, in a radius of several tens of kilometers.

The range as well as the function surpassed the barrier skill.

The skill's name is Bloody Castle.

It was an application skill of the Blood Lord skill that Valdemar also had.

'Well, this is not all.'

The surrounding environment has completely changed.

There was no way this would affect the battle.

It was clear that the blood rising from the surrounding blood would have a very beneficial effect on the owner of this place, the Darkest Nightmare.

"Then let's go back."

Amptynus then led the party.

𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞-

Blood gathered and a man stood up from the flowing river of blood.

blood ghost.

It was a monster called a vampire.

He looked around and shook his head.

"Congratulations on your victory. Amptinus-sama."

Dumpling, Dumpling-

As he bowed his head, other blood demons appeared in succession and bowed their heads.

Blood, the source of the river of blood that appears in the castle, is spewing out, and the destination is also there, so I saw this scene all the way.

If it was a minister, it was spectacular.

Blood Ghost was a very rare monster.

It had a big weakness of becoming dust when exposed to pure sunlight, but without that, it was at least an A-grade monster.

Sometimes referred to as elders, they are placed at the top of the S rank.

They all bowed their heads in unison, but it could not be said that he was not a minister.

On the way, the blood demons reached out their hands, and the victorious soldiers placed their loot in their arms appropriately.

Then the demon took it and went into the blood.

Tuk, tuck-!

Seongjin and his party did the same, but they did not receive it, so they dropped it into the river of blood.

Still, there seemed to be no problem when looking at the diving as if nothing had happened.

As they approached the castle with such a warm welcome, the number of blood demons gradually decreased, and the gates opened and people in more luxurious clothes were reflected inside.

not bloody,

But the monster was right.

Each one was a powerful A-grade or S-grade monster.

What they lined up was more spectacular than what was shown from the outside.

"…Awesome."

just by looking at it. No, I could tell just how strong their power was without looking at them.

The magic that they felt just by standing throbbed through their body.

It will probably be difficult for even any A-class Awakened to even walk here.

The actual gates opened and only Amptynus and Seongjin and his companions entered.

Others were saluting from the outside without going inside.

so long

As I walked down the red carpet as red as blood, a familiar figure sat at the end of a splendid throne.

It was the Darkest Nightmare I had seen before.

"Shin Amptinous. He returned after completing his mission."

Emptynus knelt down on one of his knees and bowed his head towards him.

Seongjin and the party also saw Nura-ri and other people's eyes and immediately followed suit.

However, he did not bow his head.

If you bow your head, you can be attacked.

"Hey."

Nu Lari said, poking his side.

But Dakist lightly raised his hand and let it go.

And he made a party request to Sungjin without anyone knowing.

[ Darkest Nightmare (Jinjo, Lv854) has requested a party. Accept? ]

awesome level.

Level isn't everything, but it can't be said that it has no effect at all.

This was proof that he had fought so fiercely.

More than myself before Return.

'In my previous life, I was raised to level 800.'

The battle fought before Return.

There he achieved the maximum level of 800.

But there were monsters with a higher level than that.

Somehow, I said last time I was too strong.

Sungjin manipulated the system to accept the party application he sent, and he opened his mouth only then.

"Welcome to the Bloody Castle. Stranger. I am the leader and king of the Monster Union, the Darkest Nightmare."(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

He said in an awkward tone that he had never lied before.

If I dared to express myself as a stranger, I would say that we should keep it a secret that we met at the gate.

“…but it seems to be welcome.”

"What's the interpretation with a monster like this? It's a little awkward."

Fortunately, the party seemed to have skipped it.

Dakist, too, was aware that he was awkward, cleared his throat with a cough, cleared his throat, and spoke again.

"Hmm. I heard before you came. You said you were curious about the power of our union?"

"Yeah. It was strange that we couldn't conquer just one such castle. It's not helpful to form an alliance with such a weak power, right?"

"Is that so? What do you think now?"

It was about the people who came here and saw what it was like.

Perhaps it was pre-planned for this purpose.

Sungjin looked at them again and said.

"It's okay. I don't know about the opponent's power, but this is enough to look at."

"It's nice to see you like that. So, are you going to make an alliance?"

"Yeah. We'll get to the details later, but let's make a week-long alliance."

"…you're a more laid-back person than I thought. Your luggage is pretty urgent."

"It's hard to break once it's signed. We don't know each other, but we don't sign it right away, is it?"

"I know everything, I know this. Okay. Let's make a simple contract first, and then discuss the details later."

With that said, Darkest descended from the throne and stood in front of Sungjin.

And stretched out his hand, Sungjin got up and grabbed it.

[ The quest alliance has been accepted. ]

[ The party system is applied unconditionally during the quest. ]

[ When killing each other, the quest will fail. ]

[ Penalty will be given if the quest fails. ]

[ You get a reward when you fail the quest without committing a murder. ]

[ The quest will be cleared after a week. ]

Once they formed an alliance with the simplest treaty.

It was an application method of a system that can be formed because they are in different worlds and exist in different worlds.

This made it impossible to betray easily.

“Then, shall we make the information public in the first place?”

Dakist asked, as if to prove that he was quick-tempered.

"Another one. What is Yaldabaoth doing?"

About the whereabouts of those who are not here now.
