Episode 124
3.
The number of users following Kurnendo was exactly 144.
Users wearing different hats.
People’s attention focused on where they were going.
Their destination was a nearby city.
A peaceful city, albeit with a field or two.
From the entrance of the city, the clowns and other users began to reveal their true colors.
“Kyaaagh!”
“Run away!”
draw a sword summon magic destroy the building
By the time the clown entered the city, he had grown to the size of a four-story building and started smashing objects in his way at random.
The city quickly turned into mayhem.
It took less than an hour for the city’s buildings and facilities built by humans for decades to be destroyed.
Users in the city rushed out to block it, but only the number of users who were determined and attempted to invade was 144.
Even Kurnendo became so huge that the power he wielded was powerful enough that he could have come alone.
Even if the attacks hit the clown, there was no significant damage.
1/4 of the city was destroyed.
The clown who came to the center of the city greeted leisurely while watching numerous drones, helicopters and cameras taking pictures of him.
“Crew. hello humans Were you surprised? But I can’t help it. I heard that some people are belittling, belittling, and undercutting my efforts to create a path of reconciliation in a peaceful way. hahahaha.”
It was a very calm greeting in front of people who were despairing, sobbing, and angry.
“I would have told you? I am Kurnendo, a senior demon. The devil from hell has no mercy. Today is the day the humans here are punished. humans. I hope you enjoy watching it. Kurnendo gave the humans a dice with two options. hahahaha.”
and looked
own presence.
Once again, it was proclaimed in front of people all over the world.
own purpose.
“Or wage war against Kurnendo. or coexist peacefully. The only mercy you can do is to leave the choice to humans.”
The bell dangles from the ridiculous jester’s hat.
As the audience greets the stage by bending one leg and bowing down, the city floor is divided into four large squares and colored.
White. black.
black. White.
“ruler. But if the punishment is too harsh, it’s no fun. Crew. I will spare half of it.”
At the same time, red flames rose from the white platform into the sky.
It is a rectangular platform that divides a large city into four equal parts.
Literally half the city was engulfed in a column of flame.
Watching it, users wearing clown hats laughed and cheered and clapped.
The footage was broadcast live by live cameras and drones.
After the pillar of fire is gone.
Kurnendo and the players returned to the [Merry-Go-Round].
In the place where it disappeared as if nothing had happened, there was no vitality to be found in the city.
* * *
The video circulated all over the media throughout the day.
It has to be.
A massacre worthy of being recorded in a page of history took place in broad daylight and without any warning.
Even in the United States, a superpower that no one in the world denies.
People couldn’t believe what they saw.
Is this true.
Even the users and clowns from [Merry-Go-Round] had already been seen a long time ago, and the United States dispatched troops to prepare for any contingency from afar.
but couldn’t stop it
Even though the military responded, it was a mana one measure.
Even though there were quite a few high-level players there, seeing that everyone died, there are many opinions that it was an accident that was predicted as long as the clown made up his mind.
It was so shocking that it was not easy to have a normal accident.
-All traitors who participated must be executed!
-We should ban wearing clown hats!
Why did countries possess nuclear weapons while banning their use?
Because they fear the destruction of mankind.
Because if someone uses it, it can get out of hand, and in the end, it’s decided that everyone will die.
Killing civilians is also taboo, even in war.
The clown, and the users wearing the clown hat, did everything that was taboo.
The question of how much damage a city suffered from being destroyed was not even mentioned.
Hundreds of thousands of people were burned to death, and those who were crushed by collapsing buildings died by falling.
Overnight, the United States saw casualties that it hadn’t seen even in wars in over a hundred years.
“They are crazy.”
Yoo Ju-yeon also thought the same as others while watching the video.
But it wasn’t like the others.
A sense of betrayal. surprise.
To some extent, it was expected.
“A high-ranking demon is like that. Guys in clown hats got their noses right.”
Of course, public opinion was already looking at users wearing clown hats as if they were demons.
solidarity responsibility.
There was also news that indiscriminate terrorism against clown hats was already taking place.
“But did you really need to do this?”
Still, it was questionable.
Prior to this urban terror, Kurnendo’s reputation was better than expected.
It was to the extent that ordinary people, not users wearing clown hats, represented those who raised the risk.
As much as that, Kurnendo’s trust building, starting with the special field attack, was quite attractive and successful.
Was there any reason to commit a massacre by breaking it?
Of course, even if this happened, not everyone in the world would hate clown hats.
“Did you think fear would work?”
The power of the clown hat has already grown tremendously.
Even if you leave the field, you can often see clown hats in Korea.
The fact that they are attacking special fields based on powerful buffs does not change.
After all, only the United States suffered.
Moreover, it is called indiscriminate terrorism, but those who have seen the video know it.
The fact that Kurnendo used the word ‘bee’.
There are certainly people who think that they have put themselves in a situation where they don’t have to be ‘punished’.
If you don’t touch it, you can keep the peace like now.
Ordinary people who have no choice but to oppress those who speak out.
“… … How the hell am I thinking like this? Are you smart?”
Very naturally, from Kurnendo’s point of view, the intentions of what he was aiming for and why he did these actions came to mind.
As if they were human beings of the same kind.
“You should go catch it before it gets bigger.”
Not for reasons such as the peace of mankind or the safety of America.
Even now, users wearing clown hats escort Kurnendo and participate in terrorism, but if this gets worse, later, instead of fighting Kurnendo, they may have to wage a hundreds-to-one war with users wearing clown hats.
When people’s anger is still burning.
When the nation called the United States doesn’t think of the word compromise because of the terrorism committed against them.
You have to take a chance.
Guild members were summoned.
“I could really die this time. It’s not a special field boss, it’s a real devil.”
“Warrior. When I die, I will die next to the hero.”
He expressed his intention before he even finished his words.
“… … Your purpose is a miracle after all. I could really die.”
“If the hero dies anyway, mankind will be destroyed by the demons.”
Now that I believe in the existence of God, I have nothing more to say.
Because it was right too.
I don’t know if I’m going to perish without Yoo Joo-yeon, but it’s true that if you have this much power as a hero, you’ve been given that role.
“Me too! Please don’t think that you’re just taking us around and protecting us. An S-class wizard?”
Kim Hye-ji expressed her opinion without much fear.
“And these guys really need to be killed. Does it make sense to kill innocent civilians like that?”
A certain amount of anger and a sense of justice.
And even the trust in Yoo Joo-yeon.
Kim Sang-wook didn’t even have to ask.
“Tell me when the schedule is set.”
I got up from my seat without saying anything.
I knew everyone would say they would go, but I said it to prepare my mind.
“next… … .”
It didn’t end here.
This is not a size that Yoo Joo-yeon can endure while struggling alone.
And there was no need to take the risk alone.

Just clearing the main quest is enough.
“hello. Attack leader. What are you doing?”
“… … .”
Without hesitation, I called Lee Hye-sung.
A flirtatious response came back, but I don’t mind suggesting it.
“I’m going to catch Kurnen too, will you go with me?”
“… … .”
“Isn’t Daehan Guild also preparing? Aren’t you going to just leave it like this?”
Make the plate as large as possible.
To be honest, I was embarrassed that I hadn’t checked Kurnendo’s information yet.
There were also a few skills I wrote, but I couldn’t confirm the exact details.
As a guy who came out after attacking the C-class special field, we have to assume that he is stronger than that, but this is the same as saying that it is dangerous.
So I called again.
“Mister Al. hello.”
I was thinking of using all the available connections.
* * *
When you are having a day of confusion.
Another surprising news came.
This time it was China.
“The clown is a thorough pacifist. Give strength to the user wearing the clown hat and get what you need. The identity of the clown is a high-class demon, but demons do not necessarily want the destruction of mankind. It is present in humans, but it does not interfere with life at all, it just takes the energy of the dimension. But what about special fields? B-class, A-class or higher fields that cause direct harm to humans, threaten the existence of mankind, and do not even show the possibility of attack, are nuclear weapons that may burst at any time.”
Lin Xiaoling.
She was wearing a blue clown hat, but changed to a red clown hat after coming out of the A-class special field, ‘Top’.
“There are a total of six grades for the color of the jester’s hat. White, yellow, green, blue, red, black. I am the first human to receive a red hat. The clown chose me to be the one to convince mankind. I will show it through actions instead of words. that you want peace.”
she said confidently.
“Currently, the A-level special field, ‘Tower of Destruction’ has been broken through to the 30th floor. I see hope. We will be climbing the tower soon. But before that, I’ll attack Japan’s B-level special field first. Clowns are not enemies of mankind, but colleagues, and I will prove that clowns do not enmity against mankind except when humans are hostile first.”
Remarks in a confusing situation only added to the confusion.
But it was quite a harsh word for those who had a hard time judging.
In particular, Japan raised both hands and expressed its willingness to welcome Lin Xiaoling’s remarks.
“I should go to Japan first.”
Yu Ju-yeon, who had no intention of going to Japan at all, felt intuition that the time had come to end her long-standing bad relationship.
It’s not like revenge.
I’m not tired of sending people over and over again.
“If you are a user who can hide such a treasure, how good would you normally wear?”
One empty seat for SS-class accessories.
Because I instinctively felt that the time had come to fill it.
