Episode 117
Lee Hyun swung his huge spear and literally destroyed the crowd of monsters.
The end of the conical lance was sharp like an awl, but the handle was as thick as a large electric pole installed on the highway.
He swung it as easily as a tree branch, crushing the enemy in front of him.
No matter how you look at it, it was a force that did not feel like a human being.
-Gooooh!
A monster similar to a dinosaur, the size of a four-story building, was trotting along.
Wild Turtle.
The mouth of the giant turtle monster, which was drooling from its mouth, was filled with red blood.
Lee Hyun ran towards the guy holding a huge lance.
“Hwaaaap!”
He jumped high towards the monster and pierced it between the eyes with his lance.
It would be more appropriate to say that it was torn apart.
Sigh!
The flesh of the monster with its head smashed was flying.
It was just one room.
With one swing of the spear, the monster’s head was shattered.
The strength of the awakened people who were fighting together increased due to the amazing power.
Even other guild members who followed Tyr, the god of war, almost forgot their faith in their god for a moment.
“Everyone, save your seats! “If this place is pushed back, the damage to civilians will increase!”
Lee Hyun’s cries, covered in monster blood, boosted the morale of the battlefield.
It was a shout that made me confident that I would never lose with this person.
“Hold on to your seat!”
“Stop everyone! “Not a single monster must fall!”
The apostles leading the guild members from the front also shouted at the top of their lungs.
The sound of swords and teeth clashing rang out, and the screams of people dying could be heard everywhere.
Even though the once peaceful city turned into chaos, those on the front lines did not retreat.
“Hwaap!”
Because there was a human carrying a huge lance, wearing shining armor, and driving away monsters from the front.
Due to Lee Hyeon’s activities, the number of monsters gradually decreased, and the gods who arrived late also took the lead in subduing the monsters.
The momentum continued as it was, reaching the suddenly opened Abyss.
Abyss created by Feratus, the otherworldly god of temptation.
The gods deployed to the scene held an emergency meeting in front of the Abyss.
“What is all this about? The Abyss suddenly opens… .”
“Wasn’t this Abyss closed after Feratus died?”
Because Feratus, who created the Abyss, was also subdued, it was a sudden monster wave that no one expected.
It has also been confirmed that there are no monsters left in the Abyss.
I thought all I had to do now was dig up by-products and make a profit, but why?
“Tyr, what happened to this? “Isn’t this a place managed by your guild?”
Geumshin Nahan (金身羅漢), who was urgently dispatched nearby, asked.
Before he became a god, he was called Sao-jeong. The blood of monsters that had not hardened was still flowing through the Zen spear in his hand.
“… “I don’t know either.”
Since Tyr had personally finished off Feratus, the owner of the Abyss, he knew better than anyone else that it would never be opened again.
There was no omen.
“This happened due to negligence in management, so Tyr and the Norse gods must be held accountable.”
Tyr nodded at the Geumsin Arhat’s words.
“All right. First, we will form a new punitive force and go into the Abyss to understand the situation.”
Although all the monsters were defeated, the surroundings were terrible.
There were as many civilian corpses as there were monster corpses.
“… I can’t believe the damage is this big. “It must be work to collect and organize the bodies.”
Theseus, the hero who quickly came to help at the scene, sighed.
The atmosphere became heavy at his words.
The Abyss, which was thought to have been subdued, suddenly went berserk.
There were even monsters that were so strong that regular guild members could not easily deal with them.
There were times when monsters suddenly popped out of the Abyss.
However, this was the first time monsters emerged from the subjugated Abyss.
The occurrence of something that has never been observed.
In the minds of some gods, disasters that occurred in the past came to mind.
The Advent of the Abyss.
The reason for their descent into this world and the disaster that fell on Earth.
There were also believers who suspected that this might be a sign that the Advent would happen again.
Tyr, sensing that the atmosphere was getting heavier, spoke first.
“Thank you, Lee Hyeon. Thanks to this, we were able to minimize the damage.”
He expressed his gratitude to Lee Hyun, the only human who attended the meeting of the gods.
“Of course it has to be done.”
“it surprised me. I didn’t know you, a human, could be so strong. “Other people’s morale also rose a lot due to his god-like power.”
“His skills are worthy of his reputation.”
“… “A sea of recognition.”
The gods present praised Lee Hyun’s divine status, but he only smiled perfunctorily and did not respond in any particular way.
“I want to join the punitive force.”
“We would be grateful if Lee Hyun participated.”
Tyr readily accepted his offer.
In a situation where we didn’t know how the Abyss would have changed, Lee Hyun’s joining seemed like gaining a thousand soldiers and ten thousand demons.
“Let’s form a punitive force as quickly as possible, understand the internal situation, and attack.”
There was no god who denied Lee Hyeon’s words.
Like Peratus’s Abyss, there were too many Abyss that were only attacked but not sealed.
This was an event that may change a lot in the future.
The gods soon formed a punitive force for the Abyss, and Tyr, who deployed the most guild members and apostles in this defense, became the leader of the punitive force and entered the Abyss.
And Lee Hyun was at the forefront.
* * *
-Currently, a monster suddenly appeared in downtown Seoul. Citizens, please go to the nearest shelter… .
-Monsters have appeared in the Abyss. Please evacuate under the guidance of your guild members.
Breaking news blared on TV.
A monster appeared in Seoul, and various guilds dispatched troops to deal with it.
‘There won’t be any new Abyss opening during this time, right?’
Since I changed the present, something unexpected could happen.
“But that doesn’t change the timing of the occurrence of the Abyss… .”
Wait, Tyr?
I checked the details of the dispatching guild written on the news.
Tyr, the Norse god of war.
Geumsin Arhat from Journey to the West.
Minor Greek gods and heroes, as well as lesser gods from other myths.
Tyr’s name written in the very first paragraph caught my eye.
‘Aren’t you managing the Abyss of Peratus?’
It’s definitely a dungeon that will be the starting point of the Second Advent two years later.
“wait for a sec.”
no way.
‘Has the Abyss of Peratus reopened?’
It was a story that made no sense given the time, but I shouldn’t have been buried only in the events of my past life when so many things had already changed.
why?
‘There was no reason for the Abyss of Peratus to be opened.’
Jormungand was not killed by Thor, and Horus did not die and the Night Monster descended on this world.
All conditions that could cause the Abyss to run away were directly removed.
In my past life, the Abyss that I had subdued suddenly pouring out monsters was called a ‘runaway’.
In order for the Abyss to run wild, several conditions were needed, the most important of which was a high concentration of demon energy.
The Abyss, exposed to powerful magical energy, regains its power before being subjugated, and unleashes monsters within it even without its owner.
Even in the past life, the exact principle was not revealed.
However, it is known that the only way to maintain it is to lower the concentration of demon energy by using extreme purification skills near the defeated Abyss.
‘Because at that time, the entire world’s air was already polluted with demonic energy.’
It was truly a hopeless, literal apocalypse.
The problem is that it is not that polluted now.
There is no place full of demonic energy, and the dangerous Abyss has already been eliminated.
‘That’s true.’
The conclusion is that someone knows how to cause the Abyss to run away, and did so intentionally.
The leading candidate is Loki.
‘Unlike in the past life, why did Loki save the three brothers?’
If he had tried to help the god of this world like he did in his past life, he wouldn’t have left me alone after I freed Jormungand.
‘It would be better to ask directly.’
“Brother, what are you thinking about for so long?”
Julia asked as she served the food.
After defeating the Abyss of Illusion, I visited Yulia’s house with Lee Su-yeon.
It was for her to pack her bags one last time before going up to Seoul with me.
I went to her house thinking I could relax a little.
I heard unexpected news.
“it’s nothing.”
Julia asked me after serving the tea.
“So, what should I do next?”
“We will attack the Abyss together and subdue the gods of this world.”
“It’s not much different from what we do at the guild. “Is that all?”
I shook my head.
“Even gods will hunt.”
At those words, Suyeon Lee looked at me.
“How long do you plan to talk about?”
“Don’t worry, sister. There is no need to share a believer’s confession with anyone else. And don’t you already know that Ares and Hephaestus were killed by you?”
Lee Su-yeon narrowed her eyes at Yulia’s words, which she answered with her eyes closed.
“That’s true, but it’s not a topic to be discussed lightly, as you think.”
Suyeon Lee didn’t seem to be very pleased with Julia joining.
I understand the hostility when a stranger comes into a party.
You can’t just trust it.
But it was true that Julia’s presence would be of great help to us.
How could it be that Loki was aiming for it?
‘Time will tell.’
Now that we’re a team, let’s hope we get along well.
Lee Su-yeon will soon realize this.
How much we will need Julia in the future.
I took a deep breath and opened my mouth again.
“Yulia, everything you see from now on must be kept a secret.”
“All right.”
I turned my gaze in the direction where I felt a strong energy.
“I think you should come out now?”
With that, space became distorted.
“How did you know I was there?”
Loki, in the form of a blond boy, opened the space and came out.
He asked, looking at me with a face full of interest.
“The Abyss we had subdued suddenly poured out monsters. “There was an emergency due to a sudden abnormal phenomenon.”
“so?”
“You know something, right?”
A smile appeared on Loki’s face as he looked at me.
That unique devil-like smile.
