The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Chapter 244

"To win the next battle, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

next day.

A festival was held in Vladi Castle after a long time.

A feast to celebrate the victory after a long absence.

The joy of finally breaking through Malius, which had not been able to attack, erupted.

He demolished the strong walls of the fortress and revealed numerous loot brought from there, and some distributed according to his achievements.

He took out the alcohol he had been keeping for a while and had the chef cook endlessly.

"Are these really people at war?"

2nd floor office.

Sungjin looked down at it through the window over there and said.

Before returning, it was an atmosphere that could never exist, considering the time when we were fighting various monsters.

At that time, they ate to the point where they had no taste to eat, and alcohol was a luxury.

However, there were blood demons who threw food and alcohol on the floor as if they were overflowing with decay and could be called high-class manpower.

Not bad.

Rather, this is very good.

It is proof that this place is safe and has a lot of space.

In addition, such a feast is also effective in boosting morale.

"Are you enjoying yourself too? Isn't it you as the main character this time? Have some fun."

Darkest, who had seen this before, said.

Sungjin looked at him for a moment, then smiled and fluttered the paper he was holding.

“Look at all of this.”

What he was holding was the information Darkest had given him.

To be precise, Nura-ri had secretly received it and translated it.

There was a rough description of the characteristics and skills of the monsters they belonged to, so they were directly compared.

In addition to that, information about the monsters of the enemy, the Underworld, was also written on it, so it would take a whole day just to see it.

"You said it."

"Now that no one is watching. Is that so?"

"Okay. I said it in the first place anyway, but I'll leave it alone. However, in front of other people, please respect me."

"I have that kind of eye."

flutter-

Turning the paper over, he looked at the following information and asked.

"Aren't you going over there?"

"there?"

"A party. You can have fun too, so why are you here?"

In the party hall, the executives I had seen so far formed a group, and the party was mixed and having fun.

Valdemar is having a drinking battle with a monster called Oni.

Peter had a conversation with an intelligent-looking monster, and Nu Lari reconciled with his old colleague, whom he had never seen before.

Asa Bell says she's hanging out with people who look sleazy, and she also seems like she's up to something.

… What is certain is that they became friends on their own.

Darkist only participated in the opening ceremony on the first day of the party, but I asked if it would be okay to slowly melt into them now, but he said with a sneer.

"If Jim goes there, do you think it will be that atmosphere?"

“….”

"Originally, if you say you're a superior, you'll just give up a seat and fall behind. It's awkward even if you're there for nothing."

"Are you saying that the guys over there have no hierarchical relationship?"

"There is, but the weight is different. Because I am the leader of this alliance, and hope."

Saying so, he poured his drink into a wine glass.

From a distance, it might look stern.

But seeing him up close, he looked lonely.

'Well, it's not that I don't know my heart.'

He's never heard anything similar before.

One of the dignity of superiors. Each hwan was a story his older brother mainly told.

In a drunken tone, it was said that not only the subordinates see the eyes of the subordinates, but the superiors also look at the eyes of the subordinates.

In the case of work, it is inevitable for efficiency, but after that, it should not be invaded until free time.

… These days, work is more important, so I am increasing my working hours significantly.

Even so, I didn't get to drink often, and even if I did, I got up first.

In that sense, I felt the same way with him, but there was something different.

'Still, Gak-hwan-hyung was by his side, because Jae-cheol was there.'

No matter how much you call it a burden, there is a limit to how much you can carry on your own, and one day, if it becomes too much, it will collapse.

I'd say it's a matter of endurance rather than ability.

The mind rather than the body is broken.

He becomes unsure if what he is doing is right, and his goals blur. He develops an aversion to the lightness of a person's death.

It takes at least one person to support it.

He doesn't even need an equal.

You just need someone to be there and affirm yourself.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Suddenly what? Didn't I say you should read it?"

"Read slowly. What is magic. It's ugly."

"Are you ugly?"

"After all, I'm not your subordinate either. Don't we have the right to eat together?"

Darkest made a silly expression for a moment, then smiled and snapped his fingers.

Then blood spurted from the table, and a lot of food poured out.

"Okay. Then, shall we drink it properly with snacks?"

"Oh. Is this the sura statue that the king eats? Although the visuals are very different."

"What is that?"

Seongjin laid the paper with the information and had a conversation with him.

The main topic of discussion was about the world before coming here and what happened here.

How many people died, how many people killed, and how did you get here?

Most of Darkist's words were complaints, but Sungjin listened to them all.

“…In the early days, I was able to do it, but because of that guy, Satan, I can’t go out. He used detection skills on me, so he only came to me when I was near the Underworld. Thanks to that, my actions were restricted.”

"Hey. So you're stronger than me?"

"It's strong. If it were within Bloody Castle, Jim would win, but if it wasn't here, there was no hope. It was barely even escaping."

"Yeah? But why didn't you show up in the last battle?"

"You're probably looking. If you use magic to deal with your subordinates, it will be difficult to deal with Jim. Or… there is something urgent to do."

Probably the latter.

Darkest smiled bitterly as he said that.

How long does it take to talk about your concerns? About a year ago, he must have accidentally said something similar to his subordinates.

The expressions of his subordinates at that time were not forgotten.

The expression on his face, which was astonished and helpless, made him think that he had done something worthwhile.

There was no answer and no alternative.

But the one in front of me now was different.

He didn't struggle with himself, he thought of finding a solution, and he had the ability to do so.

I drank a little while Sungjin was thinking about it.

He gave him red wine, but his own was drinking blood like a vampire.

If he drank more than a certain amount a day, he would get bored easily, and even though he drank a lot, he felt sweeter than ever.

"What's his skill?"

"Well, it's hard to count because I used so many, but I've used all of Demiurge's skills. Other than that..."

Pausing for a moment while he was speaking, Daquist stood up.

"I'm sorry. I have to stop drinking."

"Who's here?"

"Yes. A guest is here."

"You're finally here."

Sungjin and Darkist emptied each other's glasses at once and stood up.

After the party is over, it's time to get to work.

* * *

Gaf, one of Baal's limbs, visited the Bloody Castle at his command.

Although Bloody Castle is hiding her form, it was not difficult for him to find it, who fights for the top of her search circle.

He found it in less than a week.

Now the question is whether or not you can safely enter it.

He approached the Bloody Castle while sneaking through several layers of barriers, and he set foot there.

🤩

At the same time, red blood was swept over him and he lost his mind.

"Ummm..."

Garp woke up with a shattering headache and opened his eyes.

The surroundings were different from the original place.

Various foods and drinks were prepared under the red chandelier.

And various monsters enjoying it.

It was like having a party.

Garp got up and grabbed his stinging head again.

He felt bitter when he touched his face.

He doesn't know what happened.

Shall I hide myself first?

thinking so.

“….”

The roaring noise subsided slowly.

Then one of the blood demons came and greeted me politely.

"Welcome to Bloody Castle."

As if to welcome a valuable guest, he politely folded his back and when he got up again he started walking to one side.

'Are you asking me to follow you?'

The Monster Union mixes several languages, so it is impossible to learn all of them, but Garp has learned the language the Darkest speaks.

So I could understand to some extent what the blood demon was saying.

He clearly told me to come.

Perhaps that is something that has already been foreseen.

perhaps.

I thought things might work out.

He came here to find out information about them, allies and enemies.

Due to the last battle, the situation had turned considerably.

There was a shocking speculation that maybe he could build a mass-produced S-class Awakened like themselves.

rolled his eyes

'All the people here are executives... .'(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

All of them were strong people you've probably heard of somewhere at least once.

There was nothing missing in his mind.

Except for a few humans.

'Is it these guys?'

variables in this war.

The new power will be them.

I don't know if it's a new S-class this time, or if he's been recruited as an associate.

Tock, tock-

As soon as we went inside, we saw a throne. The Blood Ghost soon returned to his seat and knelt down on his knees, and Garp looked at him and went a little further, about ten steps away from the steps leading up to his throne, and knelt down on one of his knees and bowed his head.

He could see who sat on the throne without looking.

"I see you, Darkest Nightmare."

I could feel his gaze even if I didn't raise my head.

Its body stiffens at the gaze like a snake aiming for its prey.

… .

after a long time has passed.

No, this may just be the time he felt.

Dakist looked at him like that and opened his mouth.

"Are you here for an alliance?"

Garp's eyes widened at those words.

But he didn't raise his head.

Rather, he bowed his head more deeply and answered.
