121. The Apostate (1)
“Gray area?”
“If you say it like that, I won’t understand.”
With a deep sigh.
Sihyeon lowered her posture and met Jang Hee-soo’s eyes.
“If you go to the gray zone, you won’t be able to come back here for 10 years.”
“10 years… … .”
“In reality, only about a month will have passed.”
What Flip was aiming for was the difference between the ‘flow of time’ in the gray area and the real world.
In this case, even if Jang Hee-soo trains for 10 years, only one month will have passed in the real world.
She had the advantage of being 17 years old and immediately being deployed as a talent to confront the disaster.
But Jang Hee-soo, who went into the gray zone, had to give up a lot.
Time spent with parents as a child, humanity, the glorious teenage years, etc.
“There is no need to do this.”
[But from other people’s perspective, it’s only a month.]
“You’re like this insensitive lizard. How sad it must be for Jang Do-hyeon and Kim Hyun-ji, who can’t watch their child grow up.”
[… … Well, once you enter the gray zone, you can’t come back until 10 years have passed.]
“Why can’t you come back?”
“There’s a chance that the flow of time could get tangled. And we can’t intervene in the middle. That means we can’t save you if you get hurt or die along the way.”
You have to survive in a place like that for 10 years.
That too against demons.
“… … .”
Jang Hee-soo nodded at Si-hyeon and Flip’s suggestion.
I told them both.
“This… … I’ll think about it.”
“You’re not saying you won’t do it, are you?”
“Yes. I hope you don’t tell my parents.”
“……okay.”
After patting Jang Hee-soo’s head like that, Si-hyeon sent her away.
“This fucking lizard is real!”
[It’s only been 10 years. I can’t even see that much… ]
“Unlike you, humans only live for 100 years.”
[Heesu said she would suffer more because she was weak!]
“I told you, it’s not that simple!”
Crackling… … .
Flip flinched as he saw the golden and black lightning blooming around Sihyeon.
I knew that fear because I had suffered more severely than anyone else.
“Mr. Sihyeon?”
[Ugh!]
Thanks to the timing of Cheon Yuri’s appearance, Flip was able to overcome the crisis.
“… … You’re here?”
“Yes. I heard you have something to say.”
Sihyeon barely managed to calm down her excitement after seeing Cheon Yuri’s face.
“Flip.”
[… … Yeah, Yuri… … No, Cheon Yuri.]
“Yes, Mr. Flip.”
[I will give you special tutoring.]
“Special tutoring?”
The corners of his mouth kept going up, and Flip couldn’t even speak properly.
That’s why Sihyeon had no choice but to speak on his behalf.
“Ms. Cheon Yuri.”
“yes.”
“Since Flip is a dragon, he will teach you, Cheon Yuri, the fighting methods of a ‘dragon.’”
“ah…….”
Cheon Yuri nodded at those words.
In fact, Flip has been known to use parts of his body, even in human form, to transform and use them in combat.
The typical usage was to change only one arm into that of a dragon, or to suddenly summon a tail or wings to fight.
Since Cheon Yuri also used this method in close combat, she definitely had a lot to learn from Flip.
Plus, there are magic and powers unique to dragons.
It was clear that it would be a great help.
[Let’s start from today.]
“Yes, I understand.”
Let’s secure a 1:1 fan meeting with Cheon Yuri legally.
Flip couldn’t hide his laughter.
***
[Time left: 2 days.]
“Mr. Jang Do-hyeon.”
“Poem, Sihyeon… … .”
Sonae Island.
Jang Do-hyeon was gulping down a whole bottle of soju while looking at the buildings in the distance.
It was on top of a ride that was quite high up, but with Sihyeon’s ability, there was no reason she couldn’t get there.
“If you eat like that without any side dishes, you’ll get an upset stomach.”
“… … It’s better than feeling bitter because of Heesu.”
“… … .”
Before his return, Si-Hyeon had no children, no wife, and no lover.
I couldn’t even dare to guess Jang Do-hyeon’s mind.
“What are you going to do?”
“At seven years old, it’s the perfect age to be spoiled and spoiled. It’s also an age where you still need to grow up in your parents’ arms. But… … .”
Jang Do-hyeon poured an extra bottle of soju and drank it all down.
“The world has changed so much that we can’t just turn a blind eye to it. I know that. If Hee-soo goes into the gray zone and lives for 10 years, she’ll become much stronger. From Hee-soo’s personal perspective, this is the safest way to go. But… … .”
Even if he spared himself the words, Si-hyeon could roughly guess what he was feeling.
But there’s nothing I can do about it.
I just sat quietly next to him and drank soju.
“I’m so sorry that I feel like I’m pushing Heesu because my abilities are lacking… I’m so sorry… .”
Gulp.
Then, he patted Jang Do-hyeon’s shoulder as he started to cry loudly.
The night deepened.
***
[Time left: 1 day 11 hours.]
Time passed quickly, and Shihyeon and his group each became stronger in their own way.
And now it’s time for Flip to leave.
“good.”
[It’s a pity… … .]
The reason Flip left was simple.
The guy is none other than the Transcendent One.
When we see Flip, the dragon, intervene in the disaster in a situation where the gods can see everything.
Because if they protested, they would also be participating in the disaster.
If Flip had intervened first, the system would have had no reason to prevent the gods from intervening.
‘The best way is for Flip to just go back to the Mirror Maze.’
Patting Flip on the shoulder like that.
Sihyeon sent the guy back.
“See you later.”
[Well, I already said hello.]
Flip, who had been muttering like that, entered the giant dragon mirror.
[Time left: 23 hours.]
[Time left: 16 hours.]
… …
[Time left: 0 seconds.]
[This is starting!]
[is a ‘zombie’.]
[You have completed the main quest, .]
The 26th plague.
No, the main quest that has now changed is different from usual.
If it were the original disaster, cracks would appear here and there and zombies would jump out.
Now that many worlds have become integrated, the rules have changed a bit.
Goal: Choose between two races: humans and zombies.
Reward: Change to the selected race.
Additional Rewards: When you select the ‘Zombie’ race, you will obtain special items and skills.
In case of failure: No penalty.
[All players who proceed can choose one of the two races.]
[First choice: Remain human.]
[Second choice: Change to the ‘Zombie’ race.]
[*When selecting the zombie race, all penalties received as a human player will disappear, and all primary stats will increase by 20.]
[Warning! When you select a zombie race, you will be incorporated into the great army ‘Blood Deep’ and become an enemy of humanity.]
[Warning! When selecting a zombie race, the contract with the god you have contracted with will be forcibly terminated.]
[Time left until selection ends: 5 minutes.]
For a choice made in such a short period of time as five minutes, the impact was huge.
However, it was forbidden to choose the zombie race because of temptations such as the main stats or penalty removal.
The moment you choose a zombie, you become a slave and are incorporated into the great army Blood Deep.
Because they are endlessly treated as slaves by the ‘higher races’ that deal with zombies.
‘But there will still be many who choose it.’
Sihyeon strongly advised the players in Hanam about this fact, so they weren’t worried.
Still, there will be quite a few players who choose the ‘zombie’ camp.
To become stronger, to have more power, or simply to survive better.
Those who betray and cross over to the humanity they belong to.
Because such people exist in every era and every place.
[Time left until selection ends: 0 seconds.]
[All selections are closed!]
[All players’ race values have changed!]
[You have cleared the main quest, .]
[You have obtained the main quest, .]
Objective: Drive out zombies hiding among humans, then kill them.
Reward: When you kill a ‘traitor’ who has changed from a human to a zombie, you will receive 10x more experience points and obtain all points and items held by the opponent.
Additional Reward: Given every time you expel 10 traitors.
In case of failure: No penalty.
[Time left until end: 8 days 12 hours.]
Crackle.
With numerous holographic windows.
Cracks are finally beginning to appear all over the planet.
“It’s a beginning.”
-Let’s go again.
“Gurrrr… … Gurrung! (Leave it to me…!)”
The ground split apart and cracks appeared in the air.
And countless corpses were revealed.
Zombie.
The guys came in many different appearances.
From medieval knight armor, to wizard robes, to thief leathers, and more.
And among them, there were quite a few corpses of players who actually died here, on ‘Earth’.
Of course, the corpses of the human players who had died a long time ago were in a rotten state.
[Warning! Powerful blood magic applies.]
[Warning! You cannot detect traitors with divine power while this is in progress.]
[Warning! Zombies regain their former strength.]
From then on, the disaster was not so gentle.
“Rain, damn it… … .”
“How did this happen… … .”
The bodies of players who had already died and become corpses were imbued with blood magic.
It was formed with red eyes just like it was before and after death.
Her skin became smooth again, and the items she had were restored to replicas.
“I’m back.”
“I am human too, human.”
“Resurrection… … It feels like a dream.”
Colleagues, friends, lovers, family.
Those who rose from the grave happily approached the existing players.
“Ah, no… … .”
The players knew.
That they are all fake.
But after seeing the real people who were alive, I couldn’t attack them rashly.
And while we were letting our guard down.
Crunch!
Zombies that approached stabbed the players without hesitation.
Players who died like that became corpses again and were resurrected using blood magic.
He showed movements that were no different from when he was alive.
***
The resurrected zombies in the game look real but have red eyes.
That’s why I was able to judge it clearly and kill it.
However, players who were not corpses to begin with were not noticed at all.
It was quite tricky because I couldn’t find it with the ‘divine power’ that was vulnerable to zombies.
It’s hard enough just to track down the traitors, but you also have to deal with dead corpses coming back to life and new zombies.
The players’ mental power was bound to be quickly depleted.
‘Just dealing with zombies is tiring… … .’
‘We have to find the traitor.’
This was not limited to East Asia, where there was a vision.
Other regions were suffering from the same problem and the same headaches.
.
As we go through a disaster that will truly break your mentality.
The players gradually grew tired.
but.
“Don’t panic!”
[Activate .]
[Activate .]
Around Sonae Island.
Sihyeon shouted while swinging the Thousand-Armed Sword.
“These guys are already dead anyway!”
The situation was different where Sihyeon was.
There are two attributes that can effectively attack zombies.
It was divinity and fire.
And the that Sihyeon possessed had both properties at the same time.
This was the link between Michael’s , which was not corrupted even by the destruction of divinity, and the , the powerful sun.
Whoosh whoosh!
Just by making the sun descend without using any other items, the zombies melted and disappeared.
That wasn’t the end of it.
.
The ‘blood magic’ around zombies is, strictly speaking, magic that draws on the power of blood.
That is, the raw material was ‘blood.’
The special effects of and from Fallen Glory were also applied here.
[Item, ‘Fallen Glory (B)’ absorbs blood.]
[Item, ‘Thousand-Gun Sword (B)’ increases the amount of fatigue damage absorbed by 21%.]
[Item, ‘Cheon Gun Cloud Sword (B)’ increases physical and magical penetration of absorbed blood by 2.3%.]
Continuing to increase damage, physical and magical penetration.
Because the surroundings were overflowing with blood, the power of the vision was constantly strengthened.
Hooooooooooo!
While Sihyeon was running wild and hunting zombies.
“Sihyeon, are you ready?”
“great.”
Cheon Yuri approached and shouted.
“Then shall we try? Find the traitor.”
Find the traitor.
If combined with the power of Cheon Yuri, Sihyeon could quickly find all the traitors.
