When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 104



Only Krnovel

104. There are no bad relics.

Oh Hyun-seong and Baek Ji-su entered the long passageway.

A space that does not exist in the original Seoul Station.

Oh Hyeon-seong, who was following the Golem’s guidance, looked at the guy who was still walking while making a humming sound with a questioning look.

‘It’s neither a spirit nor a monster. What is its true identity?’

It doesn’t look like a hostile opponent right now.

If it was a monster, it would not have been able to show this kind of attitude in front of a human, and it should have been desperate to kill them.

Because that was their most basic nature.

Of course, there were secretly third entities other than monsters and spirits, so rather than wondering about their identity, I wondered what the intention was for guiding the path in this way.

Woof!

At that moment, the golem stopped in its tracks.

End of the passage.

They stood in front of a large, clumsy door that looked like it was made of dirt.

The golem slowly looked back and forth between the entrance and him.

“It looks like he’s telling me to go inside.”

“Is it right to just listen to what that unknown friend says?”

“Well, I don’t know the answer, but I will follow what you say.”

Baek Ji-soo shrugged and said.

She is the type of person who strangely likes to postpone judgment whenever she is with herself.

He shook his head and passed the golem, standing in front of the entrance.

“Well, I don’t have a choice right now.”

Regardless of whether I had been guided or not, it was certain that I would eventually arrive here.

We still haven’t found the route through which the Greatsword’s replica came into existence, and it was the most suspicious space.

I had to go inside to find the answer anyway.

Ddddddd!

Oh Hyun-seong pushed open the tightly closed door.

When the doors opened enough that they couldn’t be reached with both arms, Baek Ji-soo pushed the door on the left, and both doors opened completely.

As they entered, they saw hundreds of great swords stuck in.

“What is this…”

A peculiar sight in itself.

However, all the great swords stuck here were replicas of Theranos, a national treasure that was identical to the one he brought.

He was surprised that even a single copy of something so similar existed, even if it was a downgraded version, but now hundreds of greatswords were filling his field of vision.

A sight that will make you doubt your eyes.

“I don’t know what this is, but it looks like you’ve come to the right place.”

They stepped inside, past the great swords.

Then, at the end of the space, a giant snake statue appeared.

It was a stone statue that made me wonder how they had made it, but upon closer inspection, I could see that it wasn’t that.

It wasn’t a made statue, but a petrified monster.

And in front of that monster, there was a man standing together.

“No, senior.”

Baek Ji-soo, looking at the man’s face, spoke softly.

As a member of the 5th class of the special forces, there weren’t many people who called her senior.

Now, the accumulated experience is enormous and all of her seniors except Oh Hyun-seong are dead, but in the beginning, many of her superiors were still alive.

However, at that time, the special task force organization had many problems other than meritocracy, and Baek Ji-soo never once called them seniors.

The only people who can hear her call them senior are Oh Hyun-seong and a few others who can do their part.

And Ahn Ji-hoon was one of those seniors.

He was also Oh Hyeon-seong’s third-generation classmate.

Oh Hyun-seong was silent for a while as he faced his colleague whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

*

The appearance of frozen colleagues and frozen monsters.

Oh Hyeon-seong, who saw him, was able to figure out to some extent what had happened there.

Petrifying monsters was one of Ahn Ji-hoon’s abilities.

It was often used to buy time when facing an unmanageable enemy by petrifying both oneself and the opponent.

It was a very useful skill, and it saved my life or that of my teammates on a few occasions.

But there was one fatal danger in his technique.

While it can hold any enemy, if not released within a few hours, the caster will lose their life.

More than ten years after the incident, his petrified state was still evident.

“… What should we do, senior?”

“I need to let you rest.”

Oh Hyun-seong approached him.

Then he raised his hand and placed it on his former colleague’s shoulder, infusing magic power into him.

Then, the petrification that had hardened his body slowly began to dissolve, and his body, worn down over the years, began to crumble.

His traces scattered on the floor, turned to powder.

Oh Hyun-seong gathered them together in silence, borrowed Melts’ power, created a vessel, and placed it in it.

Kookookookookook!

“…is this the beginning?”

Baek Ji-soo looked up and said.

A vibration that shakes the entire space.

The surface of the giant snake statue cracked open, and soon the stones surrounding it were removed, revealing its gigantic body.

Shaaaaak!

At that time, the boss monster of the S-rank gate that appeared in the deepest part of Seoul Station opened its eyes.

The guy who broke free from his long seal showed his hostility towards the two humans he encountered.

Then, he opened his mouth wide and ran towards his closest opponent, Oh Hyeon-seong.

On the other hand, Oh Hyeon-seong, who was packing up the bottles, was in a very defenseless state.

Oh my god!

The giant monster’s mouth was torn vertically.

Before he knew it, the blade of the sword he was holding was soaked in red blood.

The monster, whose mouth was torn open, writheed in pain.

But at the moment when the guy was about to go crazy and swat his tail, Baek Ji-soo cut off the guy’s entire tail, and Oh Hyeon-seong jumped up high and finished him off by stabbing him between the eyebrows with his sword.

Kuuuung!

“There’s no way that the guy I knew wouldn’t be able to kill a monster this small.”

Oh Hyun-seong, standing in front of the monster’s corpse, furrowed his brows slightly.

Of course, this guy was by no means a weak monster.

The boss monster of the S-rank gate, the natural enemy of humanity, is only available to a very small number of people who meet the minimum requirements to attempt to conquer it.

It’s just the lowest level of boss monsters that appear in the S-rank gate.

His motive was that Ahn Ji-hoon was absolutely not the type of person who would choose Dong Gwi-eun because he couldn’t handle it.

Kiiik!

“?!”

At that moment, a large snake suddenly appeared and aimed for Baek Ji-soo’s back.

She quickly turned around and swung her sword, cutting the snake in two, and the monster fell down, spitting out blood.

“Two?”

Baek Ji-soo, standing in front of the corpse, showed a look of bewilderment.

Surprisingly, a guy with exactly the same appearance as the boss monster I just killed.

But this time, two of them emerged from the darkness at the same time and began attacking her.

“What, what is that?”

Oh Hyun-seong turned around in embarrassment.

A total of four identical boss monsters appeared, including the corpse he had just killed, the corpse Baek Ji-soo had killed, and the two monsters that had just appeared.

Although multiple boss monsters were extremely rare, it was extremely rare to have four bosses in one scene.

But it didn’t end there.

The corpse behind Oh Hyeon-seong, whom he had just killed, suddenly came back to life and attacked him, and this time, a whopping seven boss monsters attacked him.

The situation was a total mess.

“Senior, look at that guy’s stomach.”

“That’s…?”

The stomach of the first entity he killed and the only one to be revived.

I felt the energy of the ‘relic’ working intensely.

“The relic has bonded with the monster. No… it seems to have bonded with the gate’s core as well.”

“What? The gate’s core?”

Oh Hyun-seong frowned at her words.

It is a rare case where a relic combines with a monster.

But it didn’t stop there. There was an unprecedented case where the gate’s core was also combined.

However, it has been theoretically assumed that this is the case.

The core, which is a powerful power source that maintains the space called the Gate, would have virtually infinite effects if it were to fuse with the artifact.

However, little research has been done to enable humans to enjoy its infinite benefits.

This is because if the relic is exposed to such an extremely high amount of magical power, it will enter a ‘berserk state’.

‘Damn, now I know what happened.’

The number of monsters had nearly doubled in the meantime, and the relics inside the monster’s body were combining with its main body to create clones of it.

Even the core of the gate was combined and went berserk, and even if the main body died, it was revived and continued to produce.

‘If we continue to leave it like this, the entire country of Korea will be covered by those monsters that have proliferated.’

His choice to choose the seal.

It was common knowledge at the time that artifacts were indestructible, and this was indeed the case.

The relics, which were composed entirely differently from the materials of Earth, had not been destroyed by either humans or monsters until then.

In other words, it is impossible to destroy a relic that has started to run wild.

That’s why he chose.

They sank the entire station after the evacuation, completely blocked up the entrances, and even moved the station to a completely different location.

I was willing to be buried deep down with that monster.

And then you would believe it.

As time goes by, other hunters will eventually find the answer to this.

“It’s a minor version, but it’s still a headache.”

“It’s an S-rank boss monster. And the speed at which it increases is no joke.”

The number of monsters increased and now exceeded thirty.

Even though the two of them have already defeated more than a dozen monsters, the rate at which they are multiplying is much faster.

If things continue like this, not only will the entire space be filled and crushed, but they will also pour out onto the ground, causing massive damage.

‘Of course, I have no intention of letting that happen.’

Oh Hyun-seong summoned the spirit of the earth, Multz.

The large creature raised both arms high in the air, facing the numerous snake monsters blocking its path.

The intense energy rippling from the fists of a guy who had drawn in a significantly greater amount of magical power than usual.

Kuuuung!

As the guy slammed into the ground, the deformed floor rose up wildly.

The giant thorns that stabbed at them without giving them time to dodge pierced their bodies here and there, and their screams echoed loudly.

However, Oh Hyun-seong did not even glance at those guys and ran as fast as he could through the thorns that were blocking his view.

What he was looking at from the beginning was not a fake or anything like that, but a single main body.

Kiiik!

Oh Hyeon-seong, who approached the boss monster right in front of its main body, raised his sword.

Humanity has advanced since then and has even found ways to destroy relics.

However, it was not an easy task, especially if the relic was of high grade, appropriate tools were needed.

But it is not only humans who have developed.

He too has accumulated countless karmas and has entered several realms that no one can reach.

For example, something like this.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Oh Hyeon-seong gripped the sword with a bluish aura with all his might.

He stabbed it straight into the monster’s abdomen, directly targeting the relic contained within.
