Episode 491 – Room 207, The Gate Room – The First Trial ‘Eternal Life and Resurrection’ (9)
– Cha Jin-cheol
My body feels heavy.
My limbs don’t move the way I want them to.
Oh, really, if someone heard my true feelings, they’d think I’d be terribly hurt!
Like other colleagues, I just lost my blessing.
That’s all… .
Strangely enough, my body felt heavy.
*
“To the palace! If Menes runs away, things will get complicated!”
The polite speech that had been a habit at the end of Sang-Hyeon’s speech disappeared.
I guess that means he’s become more anxious.
It was worth it.
If that lizard pharaoh were to escape into the desert, would there be any way to chase him down?
It’s said that because it was so long ago, the area around Egypt was closer to jungle or grassland than desert, but I don’t know if that’s to our advantage or not!
When they arrived at the palace in Memphis where Menes resided, shouts were heard from all directions.
“For the Pharaoh!”
“Glory be to the great Menes!”
The Pharaoh’s personal guard, armed with sturdy armor and spears.
Although the momentum was quite serious, he was still just a human being.
Now, we have an enemy that is not worth fighting.
“Maze! Summon Gain for a moment!”
My brother’s suggestion was to send me back for a moment and summon Cain.
The time limit is tight, with only about 3 minutes remaining for Gain.
However, a human army like this can be subdued in 5 seconds just by summoning the sacred sun!
Not a bad situation, right?
“Okay – Gyaaaaak!”
“Eww, these crazy kids!”
Miro was shocked and a curse came out of his brother’s mouth.
Because Pharaoh’s guards, who seemed ready to fight us at any moment, suddenly started committing suicide!
“Glory be to the great Menes!”
“Menes, the immortal….”
“I give you my whole being, my soul and my body.”
It was so sudden and unexpected that I couldn’t stop it.
Just like that, I came to my senses and saw that over 300 guards had turned into corpses, and blood was flowing like a river into the palace –
Inside?
“What the fuck! You little lizards! Let’s charge!”
I asked, running frantically.
“Brother, what is this?”
“The Reptilian princess had the power to kill several human children and see their fates in return! She was said to have received this power from Menes!”
I understood it right away.
The Reptilian Princess is said to have the ability to see the fate of humans through their life force, so Menes must have similar or even more powerful powers!
Now, Menes used the lives of his guards to do ‘something’.
“Huh… I thought the human guards wouldn’t work on us.”
“You must have known that with the power of Horus you could control the crowds!”
“Horus? What is that?”
“…Let’s go in!”
The more I thought about what happened a little while ago, the more my teeth ground.
Of course, being a member of the king’s guard would mean great loyalty.
Even so, hundreds of his guards committed suicide right away when the Pharaoh told them to?
How hard and long have these damn lizards been brainwashing humans!
Besides, if he was going to do this, he could have just committed suicide inside the palace before we got there, but he insisted on committing suicide right in front of us.
The Lizard King’s cunningness sounds like an auditory hallucination.
Did you look at me with mean eyes?
This is the fate of your primitive, hairless mammals.
You are my cattle, nothing more than a magic battery.
— Boom!
“Come out!
And I heard Pharaoh’s voice for the first time.
“I am always here.”
*
The dark and murky palace of the Pharaoh.
“I was worried that you might run away like that, but you never thought about that?”
“I am the master of the Nile and the creator of the greatest civilization. Would a master run away from his land?”
I was momentarily amazed by the words coming out of Cheongsanyusu, but then Brother Sang-Hyeon let out a somewhat angry voice.
“Menes, I never knew you had such cruel talents!”
“…It’s cruel.”
“Did you hide this power when you fought Malkab? For fear of making us angry?”
“Priest of Horus, I can hear the anger in your voice. What has made you so angry?”
Who is this kid kidding right now?
“This little lizard is just going to come and see -”
“You, big man. I’ve never seen you before. Does the snowflake-like girl behind you have the power to summon angels?”
The power to summon angels.
Time zone If you look at it from the outside, it might feel that way.
“I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Why did things turn out like this? I thought I didn’t need to fight you guys.”
There is no need to fight.
Menes is said to have thought so.
“Is it because we are not human? If that is such a big deal, why do you serve Horus? We are not human after all.”
Menes’ point is that if the problem is that reptilians are not human, then Horus is not human either.
… Who the hell is Horus that has been causing such a fuss since a while ago?
“Or is it because of the sacrifice of the guards a little while ago? If that is something to be so angry about, then look at yourselves. There are over 2,000 people who have become a mob and are burning down the capital. Surely you are not thinking that there will be no casualties in the process?”
Menes’ point that you too are killing civilians for your own purposes.
Oh~!
Have you been locked in a dark palace and working hard to come up with logic?
Does that sound plausible?
“What nonsense -”
“If you think this is sophistry, try to refute it.”
The embarrassed brother and the coldly shouting Pharaoh.
…
For a moment, I laughed.
That guy seems flawless, but he shows a strangely sloppy side in some places.
Why are we arguing when the game isn’t decided by mouth?
Without hesitation, he threw a spear from his waist towards where the voice was coming from.
— Whoosh! Ting!
The moment the javelin that flew like lightning scraped the Pharaoh’s armor, a voice of clear anger was heard.
“Oh! How can one who calls himself the angel of the wise Horus do this -”
— Boom!
“Hey! I don’t even know who Horus is!”
Hurrr!
Light came in from all sides and the darkness subsided.
Finally, Menes rose from the throne.
*
— Pazuzuz!
The air heats up in an instant, and a whip flies at an invisible speed!
I realized it as soon as the fight started.
I heard that lizard cub’s pure physical abilities are nothing more than those of a weak old man!
Having consumed the life force of his bodyguard, Menes returned to being the demigod that had united the Nile Valley hundreds of years ago.
Superhuman strength and acceleration.
Enhanced reflexes and dynamic vision.
Here’s a little bit of psychic powers and even some pyrotechnics!
These are the superpowers that I have seen with my own eyes, but these are clearly not all.
— Boom!
“Huh…! Priest, you’re quite good at fighting too?”
The spearmanship skills of Sang-Hyeon, who had been around for a long time since the primitive era of Room 203, were certainly great.
It’s enough to block Menes’ repeated whip slashes flying at an invisible speed that breaks the sound barrier!
“Even so, you are still human. Wouldn’t it be better to call upon your god now?”
“Ugh!”
However, even Sang-Hyeon couldn’t hold back his screams as the whip tip wrapped around the window wriggled like a snake and greedily tore at the flesh.
One, two, three.
The same thing happens over and over again, the same thing happens over and over again.
Menes did not waver an inch, and our blood soaked the palace.
“The momentum was good, but in the end, he’s still human.”
We examine the situation while listening to Menes’ taunts that mock human limitations.
A former doctor and special forces soldier whose face was bloodied to the point of paleness and whose left ankle was twisted backwards.
A high school girl who was on the verge of fainting with half her arm ripped off after being hit by Menes just once.
And me, with a fist-sized hole in my back.
It’s close to its limit in many ways.
The reason he’s been able to hold out this long is, ironically, because Menes has been conserving his strength.
“Wouldn’t it be better to call Horus now?”
Now I know.
The ‘Horus’ that guy has been talking about from earlier is Cain.
The guy doesn’t have much time left so he’s not summoned, but Menes doesn’t know that fact.
“Or, can’t I call you now? Haha! Then it’s too easy?”
Why is this fight so difficult?
We didn’t enter the palace without thinking.
The robot was almost destroyed by the final flash, and we had Yumi’s magic and Songi’s bracelet.
I thought I could handle it to this extent.
— Whoosh! Boom!
“Ugh!”
Another fight, this time we lose.
More than any other ability, ‘speed’ is the issue.
Menes was barely visible.
That’s why it’s so hard to match Songi’s bracelet and Yumi’s magic.
Even if he accidentally hits you, the current Menes endures with strange strength.
…
Looking behind, I saw two helpless children and a witch busy protecting them.
Miro, the girl holding the watch while shivering.
Are you going to send me away and waste Ari or Gain’s time that is left?
Yumi calmly takes Miro’s hand.
As if to say, this is not your battlefield, so don’t come out.
I wonder what difference it would make even if we called out those two in the first place.
So, will Ari be able to land an attack on that fast Menes?
The same goes for Cain, who is empty of the sacred sun.
Need for speed.
You have to be able to keep up with Menes’ speed to win.
At that moment, Yumi’s gaze turned towards me.
In that moment, we realized that we were reminded of the ‘same power’.
“chyle!”
Actually, I’m similar to Miro.
Because the battlefield the hotel had prepared for me was not this one, but the second ordeal.
I don’t know anymore.
“Ugh!”
The moment the girl’s sharp hand, which had approached me in an instant, pierced my skin and grabbed my spine, I felt an excruciating pain as if my entire body was being burned alive.
One second feels like a month, and ten seconds feels like a year.
In that brief moment, my body transforms into something completely different.
The power that I once used to defeat the wolf that calls thunder when Yumi was hiding in my head!
To put it nicely, it is about drawing out all the potential of the human body.
To put it badly… .
“Ha…! Are these freaking monsters telling us that we’re monsters or something?”
Menes’ absurd words are funny.
Also, as soon as the transformation was over, a small voice tickled my ears.
“Finish it quickly.”
Beast transformation.
It can only be used on people whose physical data Yumi has thoroughly understood, and the recoil is so great that it cannot last long.
The bigger the price, the bigger the reward. That’s the way it works in hotels.
The power of the projector is once again in me.
At this moment, it seemed as if the blessing of courage had returned.
“Euryaaaa!”
The moment the spear extended like a storm collided with Menes’ whip, he threw the spear and whip entangled together towards Menes.
Menes’ expression of astonishment is visible.
The Pharaoh is seen staggering, losing his balance as he tries to avoid the spear.
I see the Lizard King looking at me in a hurry!
I finally caught up with his speed.
As the gap narrowed, Menes was clearly visible, throwing the whip and raising his bare fist!
At that moment, I burst into laughter.
“Hey kid, isn’t this match too advantageous for me?”
Does this idiot even know?
I was a fucking successful martial artist!
I heard about Busan once in Room 101.
Even though the crazy mayor of Busan was shot and killed.
Pharaoh’s punch flying towards your head, you lightly hit your wrist to push it away, and then hit him in the stomach.
Immediately Pharaoh’s waist bent like a bow.
Next, a left hook, this time the Pharaoh’s funny mask burst open, knocking out several teeth.
“Ugh!”
What, is it a knee kick this time?
There’s no way you can get proper power out of a collapsed position like this –
— Boom!
“Fuck!”
Come out!
Don’t forget, if you have super acceleration and brute strength, you can kick with the power to shatter concrete even if your posture is a mess.
The moment he straightened his thrown body, Menes, who had gained some leeway, shouted.
“You ignorant, vulgar, monkey-like creature!”
“You son of a bitch, I graduated from a four-year college!”
“What are you saying, you dirty pig!”
“Hey, if you’re going to be Pharaoh, then fucking talk to me with some manners!”
“Can the priest of Horus live like you?”
“What do you mean I was just living a hard life? I lived really hard!”
At that moment, Menes covered his eyes with both hands and struggled!
“Eww!”
Different perspectives!
Songi, who had been struggling to aim at Menes since earlier, succeeded in aiming at Menes, who had become dull after being hit by me.
“These cowardly bastards -”
“Euryaaaa!”
What a cowardly piece of shit!
The beast’s fist, extended like a wall, pierced the pharaoh’s chest.
“…”
In his final moments, Menes looked utterly devastated.
“Huh… The ways of the world are truly unfathomable.”
“Don’t come here now and act all cocky!”
“No one will survive….”
?
A strong intuition developed in the hotel flashes through my mind.
This is the last resort, it’s a situation where Donggwijin has a move!
—Whoosh!
As if waiting, a violent vibration, noise, and intense light began to be felt from outside.
“…”
I realized this as I watched my colleagues panicking.
That I came into this room for this very moment, right now.
I guess this is it for me.
*
– Aidia
I saw the light.
I saw a fierce light that seemed to blow away Memphis in an instant.
In the past, I would have had no idea what was going on.
…
Strangely enough, I felt like I knew.
Just a moment ago, the half-broken Golden Legion of Menes near the palace, no.
‘M-1842 Autonomous Pioneer Unit 13’ attempted to blow up most of Memphis by self-destructing.
And then, a strange force that shook the world prevented its self-destruction.
“…”
What on earth is this knowledge?
Am I really a monster from beyond the night sky?
“…”
Menes has control over the pioneer units.
That you’ve self-destructed a precious pioneer unit that can no longer be made.
It means that Menes was defeated.
“…”
I wanted to put everything down.
I just wanted to leave my fate to the maddening mob.
I didn’t want to live anymore.
That moment when you want to put everything down.
With the saint who resembled a snowflake – ‘He’ appeared.
“Princess of the Lizard, what are you thinking now?”
That day, I realized for the first time.
The best cure for depression is revenge!
