NOVEL NEXT Episode 102
“Breaking news! It is said that the Italian hero ‘Sinsayer' has just joined the Hero King's guild... The Hero King and the Beggars! In addition, there are many people from all over the world, including high-ranking rankers from the Association... “
It is rare throughout the season for
two heroes to belong to one guild ...
“In addition, there was quite a bit of controversy among the judges regarding what happened during the judging process. A protest that wasn’t made…
“Oh my, you’re being rude by talking nonsense until late at night. “We will continue to select players tomorrow, so please work hard.”
“Mr. Kang Yu-seong!”
In addition, a shooting star finally appeared among the reporters waiting late in front of the Hero King's Guild headquarters. The players of the new guild, led by the King of Heroes, were there just as dawn was approaching.
Shinsei, one of the ten heroes, was no exception.
“The King of Heroes has just appeared with Shinsei! In addition, a few more players joined...
“Mr. Shinsayer! “What is the reason you joined the Hero King’s guild!”
“Oh, it’s because I’m so talented.”
“Is that true?”
“Yes, really,” he said. “I’m so honored to be with you.”
Leaving behind the silent Italian hero, Yoosung spoke as if it were someone else's business. It was right then.
“Hero King Kang Yu-seong.”
After silence, Shinsayer opened his mouth.
“Right now, a tower is calling me.”
Yoosung glanced back at that sight.
“Don’t you think it would be a good time to test the skills of those who will be with you?”
“Everyone will be killed except you and me. Then, you and I will be the only ones left, just like back then... As if to
interrupt Yooseong's words, Shinsei coldly sneered.
“Players can’t kill players in the tower, right?”
“Hmm, since you said that, there’s no reason I can’t go. So what’s the name of the tower?”
“__Witch Hunt and Walpurgis Tower.”
“...
Yooseong took a breath at Shin Sayeo’s words. Likewise, Lee Sia, dressed in a suit and wearing a mask, was no exception.
[“....”]
[The Witch Lord remains silent.]
This was especially true because he was a player who had another contract with her.
The witch lord Ilithia sacrificed her world to save the meteors and those of the National Intelligence Service. So is it just another world with a similar name?
Even if that were the case, why did Shinsayer, and not Yuseong, end up being called to that tower? And why did he appear here? Unless he was a fool, there was no way he would join Yoosung's guild for no reason. Therefore, the world inside the tower would be the best place to face the reality of those suspicions.
“How many people can enter?”
Yooseong asked and Shinsayer answered.
“Everyone who wishes to enter this tower.”
“After all, even ten of this guy’s bodies wouldn’t be enough for the guild’s tower.”
Yoosung cursed and glanced back.
“Then please let me in right away.”
Yooseong spoke and Shinsei silently nodded. Finally, after setting up the deck and equipment, Yoosung answered.
More than anything, I remembered the synchronization rate approaching 50% as I crossed swords with the Heavenly Demon and Lord of Swords that day. There was no reason to turn down the opportunity to test the sense of the Heavenly Demon in his hands.
“I will enter the tower.”
At the same time, a message occurred to several players there.
[???tear. [Entering the witch hunt and Walpurgis Tower...]
About what happened to the world she gave in return and what form that world will have.
Inadvertently, I remembered the world that the immortal monarch had dedicated to himself when he was a mortal. He also sacrificed his empire, and in return for that, he was cursed for eternity, where death cannot be allowed in the world of the immortal great emperor.
Therefore, her world has not yet come to an end. Even if she is reborn as a transcendent person who sits on a throne and looks down on this world.
The world was engulfed in darkness, and the presence of several people could be felt in the darkness.
They were Yoo Seong, Shin Sayeo, Lee Sia, and Master Park.
that day. In the face of the appearance of the Heavenly Demon, the capture of the tower failed, and at the same time, through Illysia's sacrifice, the world should have been neither a failure nor a success, but a third ending.
And at that time, a message also appeared in front of a player in France.
It was Saint Maria Jaeger.
［When ‘Illysia', said to be the worst witch in history, hated the world and made a pact with the devil, light disappeared from the world. For a week and a night, demons began massacres in the dark, causing the Draga Empire to fall and the church to collapse. It is estimated that 50% of life on the continent was wiped out during Walpurgis Night, and after the era of night ended, all that remained was ashes and destruction.
...That's how people began to yearn for the embers in the ashes.]
[The world's balance will be corrected...]
[The world's combat power will increase by 5000%!]
A message appeared, followed by a voice. I heard it.
“Burn the witch!”
“The God of Fire will purify the witch!”
“I will purify evil with fire!”
Even amidst the ashes and ruins, the human world finally appeared there without being destroyed. There was a man hanging in the square and people were having fun burning him.
As soon as he saw that, Yooseong kicked the ground. And Yoosung wasn't the only one who didn't hesitate.
A white knight armed with pure white heavy armor was also there. Additionally, among the players Yoosung knew, there was only one with that nickname.
[The owner of the nickname ‘Saint’ is with you! Protection 1《Saint’s Protection (Defense +100, Evasion Correction +300) is amplified by 1000%!]
“Oh my, aren’t you a saint?”
“...Yuseong?”
A shooting star struck the ground between the people, and the White Knight, who was rushing in at pace with him, asked back.
Moreover, there was no need to even say what the two would do.
He crossed the crowd of people surrounding the square and stretched out his arms toward the flame hanging on the cross. The frost lord's magic power swept over the fire, and immediately afterwards the saint's light fell on the witch's wounds.
“Are you okay?!”
“Thank you...
The saint asked back, kicking the ground towards her. This was immediately after the woman in rags was released from the cross and fell to her knees.
“go. How dare you…!”
“Oh God of Fire, have mercy on us!”
“Isn’t light followed by fire?”
Yooseong muttered in bewilderment, and one of the villagers raised his voice.
“Do you know what you did just now?”
“That look... That’s right! It's the devil of another world! “The witch called the devil from another world!”
Stranger player Etrange Hero Apostle of God.
And the devil of another world.
Players are called by different titles in each world. And it wasn't that difficult to figure out how people around the world received them through that title.
“Looking at the way the world is at home, I don’t think they will accept us with open arms.”
Looking at that, Yoosung shrugged his shoulders as if it were someone else's business. It was right then.
“You foolish people who dare to rebel against the God of Fire! “Aren’t you afraid of the calamity from the God of Fire?”
In contrast to the shabby villagers, a group of people armed with blood-red uniforms and armor raised their voices.
“Aha, just looking at it, it’s a fanatical church that worships fire!”
“How dare you blaspheme the sacred flame of the church...! “Let’s purify those witches and the demon kings of this world right now!”
In addition, priests in blood-red uniforms began to glow with the magical power of flames at their feet.
The villagers raised their voices in panic and screams rang out at the same time.
“There was no chaos from the start of the home game.”
“Don’t kill me. “There is still information to be obtained.”
The saint said and Yoosung shrugged his shoulders.
It was right then.
Sigh!
Before the meteor or Maria had time to move, the blade of darkness swept towards the blood-red priests.
.......
“No information...
Without even a chance to say anything, Yooseong continued swinging his jet-black sword, and the blood-red priests literally fell down with blood spraying out.
The flame that was supposed to rage had no place to go and died away. “Oh oh oh! “Priest Four!”
“God of Fire, have mercy on us!”
“It is the Demon King...”
Immediately after, the villagers became frightened and began to run away. At the same time, a message occurred to me.
“The fire will not spare you!”]
[The Lord of Fire curses the players.]
[The force in the tower: An irreversible hostile act has been committed against the Church of the Flame of Purification!] [
Afterwards, the players will declare the ‘Witch’s It is forcibly fixed as a ‘power'!]
“...You just caused a major accident
.”
“Weren’t you planning on saving that witch anyway?”
Shinsayer asked again, and the saintess looked at him coldly. Lately, two members of the National Intelligence Department, Master Park and Lee Sia, joined.
Three heroes and two trusty assassin players.
“But are you out of your mind to just kill all those people?”
“They threatened us earlier by controlling the magic power of the flame. “Wasn’t it self-defense?”
Shin Sayer responded coldly, and Yooseong blocked them by blocking the path between them.
“Oh my gosh, you guys are fighting because you’re worried that someone might think you’re a bastard. “Can’t you see that we’re all in one boat right now?”
Saying that, Yooseong turned his head towards the witch. She crouched down and covered herself in rags. He continued speaking in a trembling voice.
“Thank you for saving me...”
“I did what I had to do.”
“Are you... really the demon kings of this world?”
the witch asked.
“You can think whatever you want.”
“Then, of course, The Witch King calls you...
“The Witch King?”
It was right then.
Suddenly
, a sound and a scream rang out. It was the scream of a witch dressed in rags, and at the same time her body began to distort grotesquely.
.......
The bones in her body were twisted, her internal organs were crushed, and her wing bones writhed grotesquely like a living creature.
Sigh!
Then he tore off his wing bones and his wings literally spread out.
“Ah, our queen...”
Indescribable joy was already visible on the witch’s face. At the same time, pitch-black darkness swirled around her feet, and the bat's wings spread wide.
“Bloody revenge on the scum of this earth
…
The players were embarrassed in front of that sight, and Yoosung muttered as if it were someone else’s business.
“Wow, she really was a witch.”
At the same time, the witch spread her wings and kicked the ground. Toward the villagers who were running away screaming.
Sigh!
Before I knew it, the claws, which had grown like those of a monster, were swung and the flesh, blood, and bones were torn. A scream rang out.
“Ahahaha! “Die, everyone, die!”
“No, they said they planned to do something and beat up all the priests.”
Yooseong muttered in bewilderment. Seeing that scene, Shinsei remained silent and the saintess, armed with pure white heavy armor, kicked the ground.
The mace of light in his hand swung, and a pillar of light fell toward the ground.
Legendary level destruction. Vanishing Skill God's Staff.
As its name suggests, it was a sacred flame aimed at punishing evil.
And that was right then.
.......
There was a player blocking the pillar of light that was supposed to return the witch's existence to extinction.
He was the king of heroes.
