Episode 151

Ryu Seong-cheon.

The guild that rules over Seoul, a city built with magical engineering. The guild leader of .

He was also a hero who rose to the ranks of Ten Heroes at a young age.

and.

‘He’s the guy who corrupted Lee Hyuk-woon in the original.’

To be exact, it should be said that he delivered the decisive blow. Due to Ryu Seong-cheon’s actions, Lee Hyuk-woon collapsed, and under his guidance, he became a member of the Apocalypse.

It was also at that time that the first part of the End Times ended.

‘Ryu Seong-cheon acts like he’s a hero of Seoul, but in reality… he’s an executioner.’

An executor belonging to the Order of the End.

Among the Ten Heroes, Ryu Seong-cheon is not the only one who became a member of the Apocalypse. There are several others besides him.

The Apocalypse faction was trying to contact the Ten Heroes and persuade them or make them submit to become allies.

‘It’s a common setup.’

It’s common for people to think that someone they call a hero is actually a villain.

It’s also common for the protagonist to kill such a person.

but.

‘It’s not common for a protagonist to fall for a villain he thought was a hero and then end up becoming a villain himself.’

It’s the end of the world that did such a crazy thing.

Baek Sa-jun recalled the comments he had seen back then. When the part where Lee Hyuk-woon became a member of the End Times came up, the few remaining readers had been cursing at him.

Of course, Baek Sa-jun was among them.

‘How can you endure it without swearing?’

It was a development I had never seen before.

If I see you again, I will curse you the same way. I thought I would kill Ryu Seong-cheon and overcome the ordeal, but I never thought I would be broken by the ordeal and become just like Ryu Seong-cheon.

Baek Sa-jun let out a deep sigh.

‘He’s someone I won’t be meeting anytime soon.’

The area around Seoul is a place where many incidents occur.

It is not a very peaceful area, with dungeons, sub-events, and various disasters occurring.

The Frontier Guild, including Ryu Seong-cheon, does not leave Seoul to stop them.

To be exact, I’m using that as an excuse.

‘Ryu Seong-cheon cooperates with the Apocalypse faction and helps deal with the Ten Heroes while acting secretly.’

He is a guy who uses his position as one of the Ten Heroes to scheme a lot of things.

I’d like to deal with it right away.

‘Ryu Seong-cheon is a monster greater than Lee Hyuk-woon.’

He is someone who can easily defeat even the ten best Namgung Yeon. He is someone that Baek Sa-jun cannot deal with at the moment.

Fortunately, you won’t encounter Ryu Seong-cheon or Frontier in the third main story.

“I guess we have no choice but to wait for the right time.”

The day will come when I will have to fight Ryu Seong-cheon anyway.

Until then, building up strength would be the way to go.

‘I don’t know why I fought with Namgung Yeon.’

Baek Sa-jun tilted his head.

It is unclear whether Ryu Seong-cheon was trying to get rid of Namgung Yeon by doing something, or whether Namgung Yeon simply fought because of personal feelings.

We’ll just have to find out later.

“Did you get all the skeletons and bones?”

– Okay.

The followers who had been wandering around the snowy field returned.

He brought back the bones and items of the dead hunters. Baek Sa-jun put the bones into the subspace.

“Then let’s go. I should finish up my work and go.”

– Crunch.

After taking away the magic stones that the Pay Mercenaries have, there is nothing more to do on Jeju Island.

Baek Sa-jun turned his back.

“Whew, I’m finally getting out of this snowy field.”

It’s time to get out of this biting cold.

* * *

From the next day onwards, various news came in.

The first thing I heard was that Namgung Yeon was going around Jeju Island to eliminate warlords.

Among them was the Jeju Island Liberation Union.

– Lord, you said he was dead! Wasn’t he dead!

Ha Jung-seok screamed when he saw Namgung Yeon.

That didn’t make a difference. Namgung Yeon subdued the Liberation Alliance and the warlords who had been targeting him in the snowfield, and took away their magic stones.

The warlords had no way of refusing.

– Either die or give it all up.

The first one to touch the Ten Heroes was a warlord.

There was no justification for saying anything. In addition, the warlords were also harmed by the fight with the predators.

I didn’t have the energy to deal with the ten heroes.

– I’m going to stay in Jeju Island for a while. If you do something stupid, you’ll die by my hand.

– Yes, yes. Okay… … .

Namgung Yeon planned to use the magic stone to restore his body and help Gaiad recover.

Gaiad suffered great damage during his manifestation. The magic stone will help repair it.

He decided to stay in Jeju Island for a while.

And in the meantime, Baek Sa-jun.

“Hey, is that all? There’s more. Give it to me!”

“Ugh, ugh, here it is… here it is!”

We were raiding the fortress of the Pay Mercenaries.

It was a fortress used to store assets such as magic stones. Baek Sa-jun, led by Lee Si-kyung, entered the fortress without any trouble and looted the magic stones inside.

“Skeles, don’t miss a single one, take them all. Magnus! Don’t just watch, take them too!”

– Crunch.

– Ugh… … .

Since they were people who had been living in Jeju Island for a long time, they had a lot of magic stones.

I decided to take everything without leaving anything behind.

Because these are all money.

“Ugh, ugh… ugh… … !”

Lee Si-kyung watched the scene with gritted teeth.

How could he be of sound mind when his property was being taken away right before his eyes? Baek Sa-jun snickered.

“Then why do you repay kindness with enmity? Huh?”

If you spared my life, I would be grateful.

Lee Si-kyung glared at Baek Sa-jun. And the moment she was about to say something, Baek Sa-jun snapped his fingers. Iria, who had been waiting, moved.

“This is enough… …!”

– Crunch!

Iria’s teeth pierced Lee Si-kyung’s neck.

After a while, the blood inside Lee Si-kyung’s body was sucked into Iria. Without leaving a single bit, to the point where the healthy Lee Si-kyung was completely dried up in an instant.

“Huh, ugh… … .”

“Hey, Sister! We have different promises!”

“Promise? What promise did I make?”

Iria, your appetite is back.

Lee Si-kyung lost his life in an instant. The hunters of the Pay Mercenary Corps, who saw their leader die, hastily took up their weapons, but it was already too late.

– Taaang!

-Whoooosh!

The attendants quickly sorted out the situation.

I had no intention of keeping them alive in the first place. Jeju Island has too many warlords. It would be better to deal with warlords like the Pay mercenary group.

‘Namgung Yeon will take care of the rest.’

Looks like you’re planning on staying here for quite some time.

If that happens, the power structure in Jeju Island will naturally be reorganized around Namgung Yeon.

The magic stone mines have also disappeared in large numbers, and the magic stones have been stolen, so the warlords will not be able to establish them like before.

– Shut up, shut up. Shut up.

“Huh? What is that, a newspaper? It’s a broker’s newspaper.”

The skeleton who had been diligently collecting magic stones came holding a newspaper. It was the broker newspaper that Baek Sa-jun was familiar with.

That was yesterday’s newspaper too. He opened the newspaper.

[Second disaster occurs in Jeju Island.]

[Name, . Wandered around Jeju Island and caused a great deal of damage, but was dealt with thanks to the efforts of the missing ten heroes and .]

It was the first article I saw.

An article about Namgung Yeon and Baek Sa-jun dealing with a predator. Below that was a series of embarrassing compliments.

[Rising Star, Baek Sa-jun.]

[The necromancer who contributed the most to overcoming the disaster in Busan that no one else could overcome, and who saved the Emperor from danger.]

[The Emperor publicly stated that Baek Sa-jun was his benefactor and that he was behind him.]

[Who is Baek Sa-jun?]

Baek Sa-jun’s expression became strange after reading the article.

“These guys really love to talk about sacred things.”

I feel like everything I do has a sacred quality to it.

A rising star, a supernova, a new star. Anyway, Baek Sa-jun’s reputation will rise greatly as he has solved the disasters in Busan and Jeju Island in succession.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

‘It would rather be a bad thing.’

When you become famous, it becomes difficult to move.

Baek Sa-jun read the article below.

[Third disaster breaks out in the West Sea.]

[ appears. Support required. Hunters including Lee Hyuk-woon are responding in the West Sea.]

[The Hunter Association and the Police Department in the West Sea are seeking mercenaries. Brokers should move cautiously.]

What was coming has come.

. A disaster with tremendous destructive power, but no special gimmick.

A disaster where a portal opens in the sea and an undead army called the Immortal Legion attacks.

It’s simple, but that makes it incredibly powerful.

‘Lee Hyuk-woon will take care of this.’

There’s nothing to worry about.

The problem is . This disaster begins around the same time as the Immortal Legion.

In the original, the damage was greater because of that.

Lee Hyuk-woon, who was fighting the Immortal Legion, was unable to arrive in time at the area where the Seed of Evolution was created.

‘The disaster I must prevent is the seed of evolution.’

It’s a disaster that happened in Daejeon.

The seeds of evolution themselves are tricky, but what is even trickier is the situation in the Daejeon region.

‘That area was eaten by the Apocalypse faction.’

Daejeon appears peaceful on the outside.

But that’s not the case. It’s an area that the Apocalypse faction has invested a lot of effort in, and in the process, they’ve brought the guild that ruled Daejeon under their control.

‘In reality, it is under the control of the .’

To put it another way:

“They say it’s difficult to move… … .”

A situation where two apocalypses are blocked by Baek Sa-jun’s hands.

The Apocalypse’s followers and the commander of the legion will also be wary of him. It won’t be easy to go and prepare in advance.

He let out a deep sigh.

“I guess I’ll have to think of a way to do it when I go back.”

– Okay.

Baek Sa-jun covered the newspaper.

Then he handed something to the skeleton nearby. It turned out to be the bone that Lee Si-kyung had dropped.

It wasn’t a particularly big bone.

“Are you done with everything?”

-Sudden, shut up.

“Okay, then let’s go.”

Baek Sa-jun stretched deeply.

There is nothing to do in Jeju Island now. If I leave the rest to Namgung Yeon, he will take care of it.

He left the blood-stained fortress, and the warm sunlight shone on his face.

“Ha, damn it.”

Baek Sa-jun looked up at the sky.

Ironically, the weather was very nice today. The clear sky of Jeju Island was clearly visible.

He shut his eyes tightly.

“I don’t even have time to rest. Shit… … .”

Busan, Jeju Island, and now Daejeon.

I feel like I’m going crazy experiencing three apocalypses in a row, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

Baek Sa-jun took a step forward.

* * *

The port, which had been closed for a while, has been reopened.

It was thanks to the death of the predator that had been blocking the route. Baek Sa-jun greeted the Jeju Island broker, Yoon Seung-cheol, and then boarded the ship.

“Skeleton, Magnus, Iria. If you see any monsters, intercept them all. I’m going to rest for a bit.”

– Ugh… … .

– Oooh… … .

There is no need to hide your identity anymore.

Baek Sa-jun placed his followers and undead on the deck, then lay down on a folding chair to rest.

– Grrrrrrr!

– Hahak! Ugh, keueeeee… … .

The route was still full of monsters.

But no one touched the ship because the servants had already dealt with them.

There was no room for other hunters to come forward.

“Wh, what kind of undead is that strong?”

“Hey! Don’t just watch, go help!”

“No, I will help only if there is something I can help with!”

I heard the hunters muttering.

The ship sailed safely through the sea and soon arrived at Wando Port. At Wando Port, an armed taxi that Han Sang-gyu had introduced in advance was waiting.

“Sir, are you going to Daejeon?”

“Yes. How long does it take?”

“That place is relatively safe, so we should be able to get there in two days.”

“That’s great. Let’s go.”

Baek Sa-jun got into the backseat of the taxi.

Just then, I saw that a text message had arrived. I wondered who sent it, and it turned out to be from Han Sang-gyu.

[I sent an armed taxi to Daejeon. He should have gotten on it by now. The guy who ran wild in Jeju Island went straight to Daejeon without any time to rest… … .]

[Then, it quickly falls behind. I don’t know what happened, but work while taking breaks.]

[If you come to Daegu, come by. Okay.]

Baek Sa-jun snickered after seeing the text.

“He looks like he could soak one or two people, but he has a kind heart that doesn’t match his appearance.”

He is an interesting person in many ways.

Baek Sa-jun leaned back against the backseat.

‘Daejeon, the seed of evolution, the commander of the legion.’

This apocalypse won’t be easy either.

Baek Sa-jun closed his eyes.
