160. Oh, was this the key?
Now, let’s think about it.
Where will you go if you absorb death?
‘Where are you? Black belly.’
All the deaths absorbed were absorbed into Black’s body.
‘I thought I could absorb power with my black body as a filter.’
It was important to get rid of this magic circle, but it was also important to decide how to use the power filled inside.
Originally, he gave some to Black, and Oren was going to absorb the rest.
‘This doesn’t work.’
However, that was impossible. Death was sucked into Black’s body, but it did not move anywhere else.
[Such a chance!]
Even Black Nom was immersed in meditation as if he had gained something here.
[We are operating the circle and the road together.]
‘What?’
[The golden mercenary’s seniority is in charge of the load, and the energy of death seems to turn the circle.]
‘Road and Circle together!? Is it possible without you guys too?’
[There was a conflict at first, but it was a problem to coalesce.]
‘no way… … .’
Even the black gnome imitated Oren’s ability to operate both the circle and the rod at the same time.
‘really? Did you copy mine?’
[Yes. But it doesn’t seem like it was done intentionally. It happened as a result of several coincidences.]
‘I knew, but he’s a real monster.’
[If you raise it well, it will become a hidden card against the dark side.]
As an enemy, Black would have been a nightmare.
Even if you are cornered, you somehow survive, and you become stronger by picking up every opportunity called an opportunity.
‘Because it happened like this, push me hard.’
[Yes. I will grant you all remaining deaths.]
The golden mercenary’s seniority method, which specializes in melee and defense, and the death that constantly revives the corpses around it and turns them into soldiers.
The combination of the two powers would be like despair to the enemy.
After deciding how to deal with death, the important thing now was the magic circle.
‘How does the magic circle react?’
[As death is absorbed, the magic circle is changing. It remains to be seen how it will change.]
‘Is there a change?’
[Yes. When the death inside is depleted, another magic circle seems to be activated.]
It was a mountain beyond a mountain.
‘I don’t know what’s going to come out. Everyone get ready!’
[I will prepare an assorted set (body).]
[I’m coming too! Maximize your senses and prepare for anger!]
[Gureuk!]
There was no one watching, so I was able to move around as much as I wanted.
Anger and divine power flowed over Oren’s body, and Google spewed out black smoke so that he could move at any time.
[A new magic circle is activated.]
After a while, I saw a new magic circle that I hadn’t seen before. All the deaths remaining towards the magic circle were absorbed.
There was a lot of pressure there. In addition, unexpected things appeared before Oren’s eyes.
[Emergencies! Emergencies!]
The appearance of the notification window shining in red was the first one seen before and after the regression.
‘What’s going on!?’
As if responding to Oren’s question, a new notification window popped up.
[Urgent Mission: Repel the beings not allowed to take over.]
[If the mission fails, destruction is rapidly accelerated.]
‘What crazy! Emergency?!’
The notification window was something that could be described as an emergency.
I couldn’t even imagine what kind of existence would appear here.
‘If it looks like it’s not going to work, I’ll run away unconditionally. Don’t forget to run away!’
[All right.]
It was the destruction of the world and Nabal, and it was worthwhile to keep the destruction only if you survived.
In the worst case, after running away, I had to plan the future.
‘… … Gap!’
Every time the magic circle flashed, something unrecognizable force pressed down on Oren’s body.
Even after preparing for battle, it was a force that could not be handled.
[This is an out-of-standard existence. It is wise to flee immediately.]
‘wait. I’m not going to prepare for anything until I see what it is!’
Oren also wanted to run away. However, in order to plan the future, I had to confirm what kind of existence it was.
‘I’ll jump right in just looking at your face. Get ready!’
The space above the magic circle shattered, and a being appeared from there.
It was as if his presence alone would blow his mind away.
I stood on my two legs, but this was possible because I gave up on other parts.
‘You guys have to see it!’
an imminent situation.
[Confirm the summoned being.]
‘Bounce!’
All I had to do was run away.
[Cancel escape.]
‘What!?’
It was an incomprehensible decision to Oren, who was blind. That moment when you’re confused as to what the hell is going on.
“what? Isn’t that Leon? no Are you Oren now?”
A raspy voice was heard.
“Oh~ I’m still standing with my strength~ It’s pretty good~”
Hearing that playful voice made me understand why Ciri didn’t run away.
“Yoon… … Chasa… … sir?”
What appeared through the magic circle was Inspector Yoon, the second-in-command in the spirit world.
* * *
“Oh, sorry, sorry. I will release you.”
With one word from him, the pressure that weighed down Oren’s body disappeared.
“… … after.”
Even though the pressure was gone, my body was still heavy. Oren took a deep breath and relaxed.
“hey. Oren.”
“Yes?”
“That’s only 30 percent of your power.”
“… … Really?”
“yes. really.”
I knew that he was originally a great nobleman, but once again, Inspector Yoon seemed amazing.
Of course, that didn’t last long.
“Five. nice eyes keep those eyes I mean, back in the day, I was doing really well. am i open? then… … .”
With the sense of intimidation gone, Inspector Yoon was just Inspector Yoon.
“Ah, okay. I’m doing well now, not in the past.”
“Ugh! Look at the blasphemous eyes?”
He pretended to be angry, but his expression was the exact opposite. His face was full of joy.
“How did you get here?”
“… … uh? Oren, isn’t that what you called? I was going to ask how you called me?”
Then it is. This is Chasa Yoon.
Oren shook his head.
“I didn’t call. If I knew how to sing, I would have called earlier.”
“Oh yeah? Well, I thought it was strange for what you called. What kind of contract did you make?”
“A contract?”
“Looking back, I don’t think this called me… … .”
He muttered as he looked into the void.
“explain it to me please. It was to the point where I felt as if the world was about to perish when I was summoned by Superintendent Yoon.”
“It is not a false story. Let me explain.”
He began to explain what had happened.
“This was not summoned for me.”
“sure?”
He pointed to the sky with his finger.
“It’s a magic circle that summons people above me.”
“… … Is he the one called King Yeomra?”
“okay. Great King or Hades must have been summoned?”
“You mean the magic circle that summons the gods!?”
Oren exclaimed in surprise.
“About that. It’s not a perfect summoning, though.”
A magic circle that summons parts of the gods.
It was a magic circle that could only summon the feet, not the head.
It didn’t look too dangerous.
“Is that dangerous?”
“Even if some of the demons descended, most of this area would have died?”
“… … Is that enough?”
“okay. The god of death has descended, and that much damage is only natural.”
Hearing this, the existence of God felt so distant.
“It may sound disrespectful, but how would you compare Inspector Yoon and King Yeomra?”
“haha. This is my first time asking this question.”
He laughed at what was funny.
“If I’m prepared to die, wouldn’t I be able to take one of my arms? Well, the great king will play it right away.”
What I felt earlier was only 30%. It meant that even such a teacher, Yoon, could not stand against God.
“How to say, it’s so far away that I can’t even imagine it.”
“Go over it. Because you can’t find them anywhere anymore.”
At this point, I thought it was fortunate that God was gone.
I thought I would never be able to come to takeover, but that wasn’t the case.
If God still existed, this world would be more shit.
“ah! What is the contract you were talking about earlier?”
Oren tried to change the subject. I didn’t want to talk about God any more.
“To put it simply, I need the transportation cost to return to the spirit world.”
Even listening to this, I got a sense of it.
“The cost is the death of people?”
“Well, strictly speaking, it’s different, but it’s roughly the same.”
“I don’t know who made it, but they made a terrible magic circle.”
Even if the person trapped inside endures death and destroys the magic circle, another magic circle is activated.
It was to the point where I felt the will to never let him out.
‘… … Isn’t this strange?’
The more I thought about it, the more strange this magic circle was. There was no significant effect on the outside, only the inside was thoroughly blocked.
As if he would never lose the ‘something’ inside.
‘What if other people came instead of Black?’
Didn’t the magic circle activate when he found that thing that looked like a silver coin?
I’m not sure, but I think it probably was.
“What are you thinking?”
Officer Yun awakened Oren’s thoughts.
“ah. I think the magic circle here is a bit strangely designed.”
As Oren spoke, he took out the ‘thing’ from his pocket.
“From my point of view, I wonder if this was put in place to keep it from going outside.”
“uh!? Was it here!?”
Police Officer Yoon was shocked as soon as he saw the item.
“… … Do you know what this is?”
“Of course you know! It is also in our spirit world, so why don’t you know!”
“Yes!?”
“Give me I’ll check if it’s right. Is this strange?”
He started going through the thing.
“Why did this become a tin can?”
“A tin can?”
“Why is it empty inside!”
“ah. As for how that happened… … .”
Oren explained what Black had done.
“This crazy. Why are you eating this! no. How do you eat this in the first place!?”
“It’s about here, can you see it? Did you say he ate it?”
When Oren pointed toward his stomach, Officer Yun stared at him as if he could see right through.
“… … oh Why did you come to find this guy? Then you don’t understand.”
“You understand? Do you know anything about Black?”
“If you look at the twisted karma, you know exactly what he is doing. To put it in your language, it would be something like a ‘hero’.”
“A warrior!?”
“Because I am forcibly avoiding death. These are the guys whose karma is messed up… … .”
He looked at Black as if he felt sorry for him.
“Be nice to me. Because of twisted karma, most of them suffer in their later years.”
For some reason, Officer Yoon kept his mouth shut, as if he didn’t want to talk about it anymore.
Oren pretended not to know and changed the topic.
“Anyway, what is this about?”
What this was was more important than Black being a hero.
“Ugh. I don’t know, so I don’t react like this! Listen carefully. This is the key to the gates of hell.”
“The gates of hell? The expression is brutal. What does it mean to say it’s hell… … uh!? no way!?”
They said it was something that existed in the spirit world as well.
The expression “the gates of hell” cannot be a metaphor.
“Are you talking about the real gates of hell!?”
“okay! that hell! The hell where the wicked suffer forever!”
“What is this black guy really doing!?”
“hey! You said you did it! Then you did it, why are you hitting someone else!”
“… … Oh really.”
The object the dark side was aiming for was none other than the key to open the gates of hell.
“What hell.”
It was to the point where I lost my mind at the identity of the object.
