Returner of the Colosseum - Chapter 86



＜ Episode 86. Revolution(2) ＞

―Are you Ahn Woo-jung?

“Yes, what about it? who are you?”

-hello. I am Sergeant Song Jin-woo of the Intellectual Crime Investigation Team, Mapo Police Station Investigation Division.

Mapo Police Station Investigation Division?

Sergeant Jinwoo Song?

Anxiety crept in for a moment.

what did i do wrong

“Oh, yes hello. But what happened…?”

―It’s nothing else, Ahn Woo-jung’s younger brother, An Woo-jin, is currently in detention at the Mapo Police Station on charges of violating the Securities and Exchange Act due to stock price manipulation, breach of trust and embezzlement.

The moment I heard the detective’s words, I tilted my head.

My brother manipulated the stock price? Breach of trust, embezzlement?

can’t you?

“…isn’t there something wrong? My younger brother runs the company diligently.”

―According to the legal process, an arrest warrant has been issued. I think it would be better to hear from Mr. Ahn Woo-jin directly about the details. If you come to Mapo Police Station, you can visit for 30 minutes.

warrant······?

So, really, what happened?

After talking with the detective, Ahn Woo-jung hurriedly took a taxi with only his wallet and coat.

‘Woojin manipulated the stock price?’

The shaking didn’t stop all the way to the police station.

It took about 20 minutes to reach the Mapo Police Station.

I ran straight to the civil service office, showed my ID, and applied for a visit to my younger brother.

Then, a police officer approached and led An Woo-jeong into a room with an iron door.

‘please······.’

Unknowingly, Ahn Woo-jung was terrified at the iron-clad security, where he could not even carry his cell phone.

What if Woojin really committed a crime?

What should I say to my mother?

What about the company your brother runs?

It was when countless thoughts raced through my mind as I entered the room.

“Tongue, brother…”

Through the tempered glass of the meeting room.

Seeing the younger brother weeping while still in handcuffs.

heart pounding.

sat down

Tring!

[Recovers all statuses to 100%.]

‘What, what!’

As soon as I came to my senses, I immediately took out my favorite sword, Levatein.

However, no matter how much he looked around, he could not see the enemy soldiers aiming at him.

A round vacant lot with a fence.

A translucent blue membrane drooping over it, and the Milky Way stretching beyond it.

‘The game was over.’

After judging the situation, Ahn Woo-jung sighed.

“You’ve worked hard, Ahn Woo-jung.”

“I knew I would come back safely this time. Good work.”

Teammates and angels who welcome you.

It feels like home now.

will return to the farm.

This match was really not easy.

“uh? Friendship. Why are you weeping?”

At that time, Ahn Woo-jung hurriedly swept his mask at the words of a colleague who greeted him.

Then, the tears that flowed under the mask were dripping down my chin.

ah.

Was it because of his brother’s face he saw before waking up?

‘Come to think of it, I think I heard my sister’s voice at first glance.’

Ahn Woo-jung smiled awkwardly at the appearance of his colleagues who were looking at him with concern.

“ah. I had some nightmares.”

“A nightmare?”

“yes.”

It’s been a really long time.

brother’s dream.

“I should go and get some rest.”

“Okay, I’ll call you later at the start of the party.”

Ahn Woo-jung smiled broadly and headed to the dorm.

As he turned his back, his lips hardened coldly.

The hand holding the Levatein trembled.

‘My brother will surely relieve you of your injustice.’

somehow

I’ll go up to the Transcendence League.

* * *

Awesome!

Splitting between the enemy soldiers, he wielded a lightning strike without hesitation.

I didn’t even have to make up my mind to break through.

just.

If you swing the spear, there will only be a path there.

Tring!

[The Agility stat increases by 1.]

As he cut the enemy army in half, he saw a knight approaching at high speed.

‘There was a sword master here too.’

Indeed, Valinor is called one of the four rivers.

I never thought there would be so many beings called tactical weapons.

Checking it with the devil’s eye, the stats were quite compliant.

Still, I wasn’t too nervous.

Because I have become too strong for that.

Papabak!

The knight came close to me, and suddenly stopped dashing and began slowly circling me.

‘It’s quite right.’

He saw through at a glance that I was stronger than he was.

“I am Ilias Callios von Vera, Count of Ra Empire. Where are you from?”

“…”

“My experience is short, so I haven’t recognized a strong person like you. May I ask your honor?”

“…”

Even though I slaughtered soldiers at random, Ilias did not rush at me recklessly.

“Well, I won’t ask if you don’t want to reveal it. So, can you at least tell us why you’re attacking us? If it’s because you don’t like our attack on Grassen, I’ll stop the attack right now and go back.”

Ilias politely bowed his head.

‘I should definitely kill him on the spot.’

He was a quick-witted guy.

They realize at a glance that they cannot win, and plan a way to survive.

For those of us who had to finally destroy the Empire of Ra, he was the number one person who shouldn’t be left alive.

Because these guys often create variables.

Having made up my mind, I immediately rushed at Ilias.

visor! Chae Chaeng! visor! Kwaji support!

“Keugh! Please tell me why! Why are you doing this!”

Ilias shouted, using his shield to let go of my attack as much as possible.

The thunderbolt penetrated inside, and it must have been quite painful, but the guy’s movements were very smooth.

‘Let’s see how long it lasts.’

I’m blocking it well, but it was only a matter of time anyway.

Stats, technique, stamina, and even the current situation.

Nothing was in his favor.

What is the probability that he will survive against me in such a state?

Kwajik!

There was none.

“Hey soldier! Come on, tell Viscount Mengsk to send a messenger! Send all the imperial swords here!”

“Ah, I see!”

If it was the sword of the Empire, it would be referring to the sword masters belonging to the Ra Empire.

It could be quite a headache if they all head here.

But I just laughed.

‘That won’t work.’

Not even a baby ant anyway.

Fluffy fluffy!

You won’t be able to escape this battlefield.

At the edge of the magic field, Kochiu’s arrow pierced the three cavalrymen who were about to leave the battlefield.

They were soldiers who served as messengers.

“Damn it, damn it!”

Ilias, who saw the scene over my shoulder, spat out a curse.

I realized that the other three were masters just like me.

There was nothing he could do in this situation.

visor! Kwajik! Chae Chaeng! visor! Kwajijik!

‘It’s over soon.’

Ilias’ movement, which continued to flow attacks, began to slow down rapidly at a certain point.

In a state where he suffered a lot of damage due to lightning strikes and lacked physical strength, he was facing his limits.

Because I did my best, I was barely able to withstand my attack.

But what if the movement slows down?

Awesome!

“Keugh!”

There was no way he could block my attack any longer.

At the spear he swung, Ilias’s right arm flew through the air.

“sh*t······. Cool. Where in the world is such a talented person…?”

Ilias knelt on one knee, leaning on his shield, coughing up blood and chanting.

The guy’s appearance was nonsensical.

His right arm had been cut off, and blood was dripping from his forehead.

Kwakwagwagwagwang!

“Aagh! Run away!”

While I was dealing with Ilias, many enemy troops were being cleared little by little by other party members.

Although the appearance of surviving soldiers could be seen from time to time among the piles of corpses that filled the whole land.

hooked! hooked! hooked!

In the end, it wasn’t long before they lay down on the cold ground from Kochiu’s arrows.

all that’s left now

There is only one Iliad.

‘bye.’

To the last surviving knight on this battlefield.

Without hesitation, I wielded the lightning strike.

Awesome!

Head rolling on the floor with a grieved expression.

Behind them, I saw Teruomi, Kiara, and Kochiu walking toward me.

Tring!

[The physical strength stat increases by 1.]

‘It’s been a while since my physical strength stat rose, but it’s going up again?’

I’ll have to check more in the future to know exactly, but it seems that the amount that goes up depends on the opponent’s stats.

“You have worked hard.”

“Thanks for your efforts.”

“yes. The three of you also worked hard.”

anyway.

The battle must be over, so we headed towards Grassen leisurely.

All of the soldiers on the Grassen side who were watching the battle from the top of the castle wall looked bewildered.

“I-that devil is coming, Baron!”

“Ugh… they’re all going to die…”

Soldiers shivering with their complexions turned white.

Between them, I saw a figure wearing heavy armor, with white light pouring out.

[Check the opponent’s abilities.]

[Name: Garen Leonhard von Grassen]

[Strength: 69(+?)] [Agility: 67(+?)] [Stamina: 68(+?)]

[Spirit: 61(+?)] [Intelligence: 18(+?)] [Magic Power: 69(+?)]

‘That person.’

As I moved in the direction of Garen, I heard the sound of soldiers on the wall pulling their bowstrings.

But perhaps thanks to me not showing any hostility, no soldiers fired arrows recklessly.

Approaching the bottom of the castle wall, I looked up at Garen and opened my mouth.

“Hello, Karen.”

“…?”

“We are the warriors sent by the God of Life to save Garen.”

At my words, Garen’s expression changed bizarrely.

Well, thank God, or something like that.

To all the people I’ve met so far, I’d be grateful to hear about that…

“Ah, weren’t you the devil?”

“…?”

what?

Thanks to Kiara stepping out and explaining the situation, we were escorted to the guest room of Baron Garen’s mansion.

“Is there a man named Everett here?”

“The name of the priest who manages the chapel of the god of life is Everett…”

“Ah, then would you like to invite him to this seat as well? It’s better to explain at once.”

While the baron dispatched soldiers at Kiara’s words, I sat in the waiting room and closed my eyes to rest.

After defeating 10,000 troops in Antipus, heading straight to Eden to slay the demons, massacring the church members, and coming back to this place to fight another battle.

Physically he was fine, but mentally he was exhausted.

“Baron! I have brought Father Everett!”

“Oh, Father Everett. Would you like to come this way?”

“Baron. Why am I…?”

Everett was a male priest who appeared to be in his mid-twenties.

He was coming in with a puzzled look on his face when he saw us.

“Ah, Father Everett. hello. We are warriors sent by the God of Life.”

From then on, Kiara began to explain the mission to Garen and Everett.

There is currently a black magician behind the first prince, and knowing that, the God of Life sent us, and that he plans to destroy the Ra Empire and establish a new Holy Empire.

What was the reaction of Baron Garen and Priest Everett?

“ah······. yes.”

“okay?”

It was a very dumbfounded expression.

but.

Only four people will come and destroy the empire, and make them emperor and pope, but who can not be embarrassed.

“Hey, don’t look at me like that. It’s the same for us who came after hearing the order.”

“Hmm, no. That, Warrior Kiara? How do you intend to build the Holy Empire…”

At Baron Garen’s question, Kiara sighed.

“I plan to go to Antares and kill the emperor and the warlock. I’m going to try to do it in order, one at a time.”

“Ah… yes.”

“…”

There was silence in the waiting room for a while.

Garen and Everett are at a loss for words.

And Kiara and the party members were thinking about how to proceed after that.

I just rested with my eyes closed.

It was then.

“Ren-sama, how about this?”

“…?”

“Religion is a matter of belief, so even if you can destroy the Ra Empire, it will be difficult to create a Holy Empire. A lot of blood will be shed in the process. It was also in the condition. We need to make more than 60% of the entire empire believe in the Church of Life.”

“It is.”

“Let’s say we kill the emperor and the warlock. Then there would be no heir to the emperor who had just ascended the throne. The other princes are all dead this time. Then, in the end, wouldn’t the great nobles of each region step forward pretending to be the king?”

I nodded at Kiara’s words.

Historically, when all members of the royal family were dead, the country was always torn apart and war broke out.

But for the sake of the revolutionary mission, of course, it was something I had to endure.

I didn’t think it was a big problem.

“I’d rather not kill the emperor first, let’s launch the Church of Life first. A religion that almost all humans believe in.”

“Would that be possible?”

“We can make it possible. A demon summoned to the ground. The demon burns down the Ra Empire, and mankind is on the verge of extinction. So, the warriors sent by the God of Life punish the devil and bring peace to the Ra Empire. I think it would be possible if we killed the emperor in the process and gave Baron Garen a decent amount?”

At Kiara’s words, I tilted my head.

That would make it a lot easier though.

Because the prerequisites were necessary.

“How do we summon demons?”

“There’s no need for that, you can just use the demon you have now.”

“Is there a devil?”

At my question, Kiara smiled brightly.

how to say

It was a smile that made the viewer very anxious.

“Can’t Ren-nim play the role of the devil?”

“・・・・・Me?”

At her words, I laughed.

so now

I guess it means to do a situational play.

Do you think that will work now?

“yes. Even if you just pretend… you look like a devil…”

Garen and Everett nodded at Kiara’s words, and as soon as our eyes met, they let go of their pretense and began to look at the distant mountains.

under.

It’s ridiculous.

“No.”

I said in a firm voice.
