00148 #6 – The Era of Heuksanhoe has arrived
#6 – The era of Black Mountain Society has arrived (23)
The continent was eventually divided into three camps. However, when asked which camp has taken the mainstream, people do not hesitate to pick black sashimi.
If the Central Allied Powers are in a tense state in which the weight between powers is constantly shifting according to the interests of each country, the camp of the Black Mountain Society is firmly centered.
This is because there are a lot of adventurers who have been trained based on Caesar’s Martial Arts, and the number of adventurers who have been taught their martial arts again has increased.

Most of the adventurers who have learned the martial arts are from the Black Mountain Society. After stopping the monster wave, everyone hoped to enter the Black Mountain Society.
There were a few people who coveted and approached only martial arts, but this was also an inevitable change with the passage of time.
Heuksanhoe grew huge, but the average loyalty of the members had to go down.
“When I’m with you, I always thought you were a fuss and fuss, but I feel a lot of empty space when I’m not there.”
The minion who had supported me closer than anyone with strong loyalty disappeared. Even I, who is accustomed to meeting and parting, will not be able to forget that void for some time.
“boss. There is still a cute Lina!”
“right. You are still there.”
“Is it okay to tickle Rina’s chin in particular if you want?”
Did you say that as a word of comfort?
It’s a strange sound, but something disturbs me.
“I’m sorry. If we had been a little stronger, we wouldn’t have gone missing after entrusting Caesar with our duties.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you. Because of my lack of training, I couldn’t fight together in the Demon City, and I had no choice but to come out first. I will not repeat the same regrets again.”
Dorothy Aegis or Mosaic seems to have been quite shocked by his disappearance or death. Since the sadness has subsided, he has been showing a lot of serious anger and will to practice.
It’s not that I don’t think that the two of us can be strong enough to replace Caesar’s vacancy, but I didn’t want to waste a second in trying to get stronger on my own.

More than anything else, I was impressed with how Mosaic woman, a gamer, burns up her motivation to this extent.
‘Surprisingly, in a place I couldn’t see, they seemed pretty close.’
It must have felt special because it was a subject that opened up my body and mind to the point where I even did 3p.
“boss. Now I am ready to accept it.”
“What do you mean?”
“The death of the master. So stop holding funerals.”
It was an unexpected idea.
It’s a subordinate’s funeral.
“Right. I almost forgot about it.”
The funeral was decided to be held modestly. He wasn’t a very virtuous guy in the first place, so even if he held a funeral, a bunch of guys with uncomfortable relationships would come.
He did not have any desire to share political dialogue with the coalition agencies, public officials, the heads of the Heukomen, the lords, and the envoys of other countries.
It is a funeral where no body was found in the first place.
“How will the funeral be held?”
“We gather together in a small room and pay tribute in our own way.”
“Good idea, boss. I will follow that opinion.”
First, it’s time to count the number of people attending the funeral.
I only selected people who were close to him.
First of all, I, Lina, and the mosaic woman are close.
Next, Mark, Saito, and Deigor followed him frequently.
Other than that, it’s like Seolhwa, the president of a macho cafe, or Dorothy Aegis.
All together, there were only eight people.
I said after gathering all the people at the funeral.
“When each one of Caesar’s funeral, tell him what you would like to do for him. Everyone is busy, so let’s do it together.”
Sulwha cautiously raised her hand.
“I… what was Caesar’s favorite food? I’m planning to serve it as my favorite food to prepare a ancestral table…”
“I do not know.”
“yes?”
“Don’t look at me with those eyes. It’s not that I don’t know what my subordinates are eating because I don’t care. I am not that cold-blooded without blood or tears.”
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
“Whatever he ate, his expression never changed.”
Seolhwa was in trouble.
“Then what was your favorite food?”
“hardtack.”
“I’ll just take care of it.”
well thought out I’m not looking for a decent meal, but putting biscuits on the ancestral rites is a bit weird.
“I have a question about you, too.”
“What are you curious about?”
“The owner always talked about the boss. I’m sure you’ll be delighted if you put a memorabilia related to the boss on the altar. So, by the way, what are the memories related to the two of you?”
Everyone showed interest in the question of the mosaic woman.
Caesar is my first subordinate.
Of course, you will think that there is something that other people don’t know.
In fact, there must have been something.
The problem is I don’t even know what it is.
The system set the relationship by automatic calculation.
I didn’t even play it myself, so how would you know that?
“Well. If there is anything that can be called a memory item…”
Come to think of it, it’s not really that bad.
There are things I’ve been carrying around since I met him.
He took out the memories that he had hung like a decoration on his shirt.
“What is that? It looks like a scallop.”
“It’s a crime guild silver badge.”
“Are you two from a crime guild?”
It’s not really like that.
The first guild I stopped by when I came to this city was there.
In retrospect, it was a real hit.
“I didn’t even have a few hours in the crime guild. It was just a chance for me and Caesar to meet Lina.”
“Wow. So, is the silver badge a token to commemorate that time?”
“In a sense, not at all. Because it was a badge that Caesar bought with the money he earned from killing the owner of the junkyard. The owner of the junkyard was the first man Caesar killed in the labyrinth city of Bram.”
“… … .”
“I don’t remember giving any specific orders to kill me. Don’t look at me with those garbage eyes.”
For some reason, I can feel the way I see Caesar from these guys.

Maybe it’s the mood
“What was your eldest brother’s favorite weapon? My eldest brother said that he learned kwon-gak in order to inherit Kato’s will, so I don’t know what kind of martial arts and weapons he enjoyed using before that.”
“He had a knack for swordsmanship. He was so strong he wouldn’t even notice, but in fact he always wore a sword.”
“Eh. is that really I just found out for the first time that he was wearing a sword.”
Not only was Mark surprised, but everyone else was also surprised.
Hagiya Caesar’s Gato Taryeong should take a day or two.
If you only go around looking for a gato and spread your knuckle skills, will your sword make a difference?
“boss! I have a question for you, too.”
“Tell me.”
“What made Caesar follow the boss?”
I don’t know.
How do you know what you don’t remember?
“I don’t know.”
“It’s just that it’s weird. Caesar’s personality can’t be followed simply.”
“I must have seen something in me that I haven’t seen in others.”
Then everyone seemed to know it somehow.
“I understand the meaning, but I can’t offer it as a tribute. Lina should raise one of her daggers.”
While realizing Caesar’s vacancy, we quietly started preparing for the memorial. Sometimes, I wondered if it would be good to have such a bitter and peaceful time.
Caesar must also be happy to see us in the underworld. It is also possible for characters who have achieved a high level to play a short game in the [Underworld] after death.
It’s lucky if I get caught in [Heaven], but considering the karma he has accumulated, I guarantee 100% [Abyss]. Still, if he was a boy, he would surely survive somehow.
“What will you do if your master goes to hell?”
Even the Mosaic woman, who came from a ranker, was willing to speak hell to whether she understood such a mechanism.
“I’m sure you’ll even meet the devil.”
“And what?”
“Every family I see is going to be slaughtered.”
“… … .”
“He is such a guy. Maybe we’ll survive until we reach Hell while exploring the labyrinth. Heaping up demon corpses like a mountain.”
“Why? I feel that such absurd remarks are convincing. It’s a little creepy.”
So do I.
If it was Caesar, I think he could really do it.

Abyss layer in the depths of the labyrinth.
Here is Hell.
Hell’s mechanics weren’t that complicated.
After attracting the souls of the dead and making them suffer for eternity, he collects the unholy energy generated from it to maintain the harsh environment of hell and strengthen the power of the ruler of hell [Yeomra the Great].
The more powerful people were brought in and suffered, the harsher the hell, and the more powerful King Yeomra, the ruler of hell.
All of the souls brought in were those who showed off their great fighting power in the labyrinth, and the unholy energy generated by such people falling into despair was truly enormous.
“Did the boss want to conquer these places?”
Caesar was quickly exhausted. Even if you were an absolute master who reached the peak, it was not easy to deal with the demons of the Abyss.
Before they crush the body, they endowed it with mind-breaking fantasies and allusions over and over again. Caesar was slowly realizing.
‘When I caught the ancient devil, I thought maybe the boss’s trivial request could be something more serious than this…’
If it wasn’t, it was as if he had jumped into a limb on his own. With a moment’s wrong judgment, it becomes impossible to serve the boss or even save his life.
It was the moment when the sword gradually became dull and despair swept through the heart, caught in such a delusion.
[Caesar has been trusted by the boss. The content of the credit is ‘Until the boss and he are reunited in Hell, the devil will kill all the people he sees.’]
[As long as Caesar does not lose his will to fight, his combat power against demons will increase rapidly.]
[As long as Caesar does not violate the boss’s credit, the boss’s credit skill proficiency increases sharply as a reward for showing the credibility of the worst difficulty.]
Wilhelm Meyer’s light, thoughtless words gave Caesar an unknown power. Caesar opened his eyes and sensed the energy rising from within him.
got used to
It was the power of an unknown buff that I often felt when working with the boss. Caesar looked like a bloody ferocious man.
“I feel like the boss is trusting me. This is probably not a bad choice.”
He took a step towards the demons who faltered and retreated.
“You really are an absurd boss. Annihilating the demons of hell is a petty request. I am already starting to look forward to what the ‘minor reward’ will be paid after accepting this request.”
As the terrified demons turned their backs and fled, Caesar leapt like a predator on his prey.
“Then all die. The boss wants you guys to die. Isn’t that enough reason to die! Ha ha ha ha!!”
A top predator has appeared in the food pyramid of the Abyss.

The employees of the game company’s strategy operation team stared blankly at the monitor.
“How do you stop that?”
“Can’t stop it.”
“Then what do you do?”
“I can’t do anything.”
“What if he meets Wilhelm Meyer again?”
The team leader responded bitterly to the questions of his subordinates.
“What how? The company will be fired.”
Caesar’s savagery has created numerous victims both inside and outside the game.
