The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 39

“What are those?”

Jang Gil-su frowned as he looked at the soul soldiers standing behind Namgung.

“They say my gluttony is a fraud, but your abilities are truly a fraud. “I can’t believe you hid something like that.”

However, contrary to Jang Gil-su’s grumbling words, Namgung knew that his soul soldiers were not yet sufficient to deal with the Minotaur.

‘If I hit it wrong, I could probably die in one hit.’

Namgung thought as he looked at the huge axe.

‘Not a single hit should be allowed.’

He concentrated his mind and gave orders to his soul soldiers. All they have to do is distract him.

grasp–!

At that moment, two of the three soldiers started running towards the Minotaur.

Namgung didn’t miss a moment and aimed at the guy’s back.

Slur-

“…?!”

Park Hyo-joo and Jang Gil-soo could not hide their surprised expressions at his sudden disappearance.

Numbering 946770.

Name: Serpent’s Broken Scale Piece

Grade: Magic (Highest)

▶ Part of the Serpent’s scales.

▶ It reflects light and refracts the field of view, assimilating the bearer’s appearance into the surrounding scenery.

▶ Restriction: Once a day,

it was a reward item obtained from a silver box after striking the final blow against the Serpent, the world boss of the second Hell Gate.

Da-da-da-da-!!

As Namgung ran, a slight shaking occurred. It wasn’t as perfect as a hiding place, so it wasn’t very useful, but it was enough to get out of the monster’s sight for a moment.

Kwasik-!

Two soul soldiers blocked the Minotaur’s attack, and Namgung stabbed his sword in the back.

It was as planned.

“…!!”

Until the Minotaur suddenly turned its head, not towards the soul soldier, but towards him.

[Koooooo!!!]

Strangely enough, the guy immediately recognized Namgung’s position, which was impossible to see, and swung the huge ax precisely at him.

Namgung hurriedly tried to step back, but the berserk one suddenly sped up as if he were exploding.

“Huh?!”

It was a disaster.

At that moment, the remaining soul soldier who was not attacking blocked the space between the two.

Wow!!!

With a dull sound, the Minotaur’s ax tore apart the soul soldier’s body.

[Krrrrr…!!]

The guy hit the ax again towards the upper body of the soldier who had fallen to the ground.

puck! puck! Kwasik!!!

The soldier’s body was cut into pieces and disappeared along with the smoke.

Stinging…

The pain felt like the inside of Namgung’s chest had been pricked by a needle. It was a spiritual power blow returned to the caster when the spirit soldiers were forcibly destroyed and reverse summoned.

Clang…!

At that time, something flying above the Minotaur’s head broke, and a sweet scent instantly filled its nose.

[Crook? Sigh…!!]

The Minotaur’s large nostrils fluttered and it shook its head as if in pain at the strong scent.

“It smells! “He’s looking for you by smell!”

As soon as Jang Gil-su shouted, Namgung realized that what he had thrown was none other than the bottle of salt jam he had given him.

“Hwaaa!!”

He plunged his sword into the nape of the minotaur’s neck, which had missed Namgung due to the strong scent.

Phew-!!

Let’s put all our strength into the diagonal sword and hit it! With a sound, his skin was gradually torn off.

[Koooooooo!!]

The guy started running wild as if he was in pain. Namgung’s body swayed back and forth, clutching the handle of the sword.

bang! bang! Kwaang!!

Even though Namgung was behind him, the guy started randomly hitting the ax on the floor.

I didn’t know if it was to throw him off or if I was going crazy with anger and pain.

“Sever his tendons!”

When Jang Gil-soo shouted, Park Hyo-joo instinctively threw the dagger she was holding with all her might.

“Huh!!”

As she inhaled and moved her arms in the air, the two flying daggers spun quickly like a boomerang and lodged themselves in both Achilles tendons of the minotaur.

Crack…! Crackle…!!

Park Hyo-joo clenched her fist and pulled, as if pulling an invisible string.

However, the sword stuck behind the monster’s ankle did not move any more, as if it were being overcome by force.

“It’s impossible. “The guy’s leather is so hard!!”

Park Hyo-joo shouted.

“…That’s enough.”

Although she couldn’t sever his Achilles tendon, her dagger stuck and momentarily broke his posture.

The moment he knelt down on the floor, Namgung’s foot slightly touched the ground.

Suddenly-!!

As soon as there was a floor to support, Namgung’s sword cut off the Minotaur’s neck with all its might, as if it had never been done before.

Ppa-deuk-

Namgung pressed his closed mouth to squeeze out the last of his strength. With the sound of teeth grinding, the sword stuck in the minotaur pierced through the minotaur’s body and protruded out.

Cheolpudeok…!!

The severed torso fell to the floor.

Sigh…!!

Red blood began to pour like a fountain from the cross section of the upper body, which was cut diagonally from the neck to the back.

▶ The owner of the labyrinth has been defeated.

▶ A reward (basic) reward (participation) box will be awarded.

▶ Labyrinth loot (2) will be awarded. The loot can be acquired by one of the reward recipients.

“Okay… that’s it!!”

When the announcement announcing the Minotaur’s death was heard, Park Hyo-joo screamed without realizing it.

“Ah…”

She covered her mouth and looked around at her surroundings, as if she was embarrassed at herself for making a fuss.

“Whew…”

Namgung sat down, letting out a low breath as if he was tired, not paying attention to the floor covered in a puddle of the monster’s blood.

“For someone who came forward with such confidence, it seems like he struggled quite a bit. “I don’t know what would have happened if that friend hadn’t helped me.”

“Iknow, right. “I got help from both of them.”

He smiled bitterly at Jang Gil-su’s words.

‘Minotaur… After about 10 years, it won’t be much of a thing. I thought it was too soft. ‘I was overconfident.’

Thanks to absorbing souls at the National Cemetery, my physical abilities improved, but it was still only in the beginning stages.

His abilities were still lacking.

Rather, too many hunting experiences have made my perception of monsters lighter.

“Oh no. “I just threw my sword at Jang Gil-soo because he said something.”

“That’s what it means to be helpful. That friend saved my leg when it almost got blown off, and I was empty-handed and couldn’t help even if I wanted to. Besides, stabbing a sword accurately from that far away is something I cannot do.”

Park Hyo-joo nodded at Jang Gil-soo’s words.

Little did she know that she, an agent with a good reputation at the National Intelligence Service, would be happy to receive praise from the head of the Majang-dong Association.

“You admit it without contradicting it. “You are a good friend.”

“It was nothing.”

Namgoong noticed that Jang Gil-soo started calling him by the title ‘friend’.

‘It was unexpected, but it seems I gained his favor anyway.’

Namgung shrugged his shoulders and opened the box that appeared in front of the Minotaur’s body.

▶ Acquired King Minos’ White Bull (Normal).

▶ It can be exchanged for a head from the proxy clan.

▶ Transactions between reward recipients are possible.

▶ 30000 heads

▶ Obtained King Minos’ Red Bull (Normal).

▶ 30,000 heads

“Wow….”

“Hehe, this is really cool.”

Park Hyo-joo and Jang Gil-soo couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw the value of the head they got from their reward box.

‘This must be my first time getting such a large quantity of heads. ‘I’ve never conquered a world boss or dungeon before…’

But the important thing wasn’t the head. Because the really fun time started now.

Click-

Namgung opened the silver box first.

▶ Obtained Minotaur’s Liver (Magic).

▶ Transactions between reward recipients are possible.

Numbering 350313.

Name: Minotaur’s liver

Grade: Magic (best)

▶ Literally Minotaur’s liver.

▶ If you eat it, you can gain one of the Minotaur’s characteristics.

▶ You can’t eat it unless you have the stomach for it.

▶ If you spit it out without being able to swallow it, the freshness of the liver will be damaged and it will no longer be effective.

Namgung took out a liver that was so gray that he thought it might be rotten from the box.

“Ugh….”

The moment Park Hyo-joo saw that, she took a step back without realizing it. It wasn’t just about appearance. It was because of the strange smell that stung my nose.

“Hmm.”

However, unlike her astonishment, Namgung looked at Jang Gil-su when he saw that.

“Something good came out. “I received help, so I should repay the favor.”

“…what does that mean?”

“Try it. “It won’t be a loss.”

At Namgung’s words, Jang Gil-su frowned.

“No matter how much I have the ability to gluttony, I don’t eat spoiled food. Besides, the salt you gave me… wow?!”

Jang Gil-su, who couldn’t even take a step back due to his limping leg, began to swallow the liver that Namgung shoved into his mouth.

“Whoop!! Wooooow!!”

Jang Gil-su began to roll around in a manner that was unbecoming of his size due to the stench that assaulted his nose.

‘What kind of strength does this guy have…’

He instinctively grabbed Namgung’s arm that was covering his mouth and pushed it away, but he didn’t move.

gulp.

In the end, only after confirming that his uvula was moving did Namgoong let go.

“What is this…!!”

▶ I consumed the liver of a minotaur.

▶ Minotaur’s characteristic: Regeneration has been acquired.

“…uh?”

Jang Gil-su raised his eyebrows as he felt the pain in his ankle disappear in an instant.

Namgung smiled slightly at his reaction and opened the remaining boxes.

Numbering??

Name: Nest Movement Book

Grade: ??

▶ A movement magic book that allows you to go to a special place where only qualified people can enter.

Namgoong took out a black ticket from the box and frowned slightly.

“What’s this?”

“…I don’t know.”

‘Has there been anything like this?’

It was an item without numbering.

Even he, who survived the apocalypse for 25 years, had never seen anything like this before.

“Hmm, I thought something grand would come out if I beat the dungeon boss, but it ended up being just a piece of paper. It’s boring. On the contrary, I gained something good thanks to you.”

Jang Gil-su, who gained the ability to regenerate after eating the Minotaur’s liver, scratched his head as if feeling sorry.

“it’s okay. After all, if you didn’t have the ability to binge eat, you wouldn’t have been able to swallow the liver. “It was what suited you best.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

Jang Gil-su looked a little relieved at Namgoong’s answer.

“Can I take this?”

“So be it. I don’t care. “You have already received enough compensation, so showing interest in that is greedy.”

“me too. “I can’t think of anything I can do with it.”

“Do you think I know?”

“yes.”

I couldn’t tell if it was her intuition as an agent or if she was just passing herself over, but surprisingly, unlike before, Park Hyo-joo answered without hesitation.

“I wish I had caught the boss a little better. That’s a generous assessment, considering I won with help. “Thank you.”

“Even with help, I wouldn’t have been able to catch it. In fact, there was a higher chance of being killed by the boss. “If I were to ask you for a debt, I would also owe you my life.”

Namgung smiled bitterly at her.

“That is truly an overestimation. “If it wasn’t for me in the first place, there wouldn’t have been any need to be brought here.”

He got up and walked towards the exit of the labyrinth.

‘What I got after clearing the dungeon was an unidentified ticket… It’s a disappointing reward compared to the Ghoul King’s grave site.’

Namgoong put the black ticket in his pocket.

“Well, just being able to return safely is a happy thing. Let’s go.”

It was the moment when the door to the exit of the labyrinth was opened.

▶ The soul of the Minotaur was found.

It was then.

He was about to pull the handle when a notification appeared in front of him.

▶ Do you want to serve?

At that moment, a red spirit sphere flowed from the corpse and began to circle around Namgung.

“…uh?”

The compensation is not over yet.
