Chapter 197
Gaecheon (4)
“No—! Seed!!! If you set up your character like this, are you saying that you must die the first time you meet?!”
Having blown the entire save point, I hit the desk hard with my fist and tore out my head.
It’s already the 4th try after 50. Finally, I succeeded in my first encounter with the knight of the Apocalypse, the head of the holy Apocalypse.
however.
Right before the boss room, in the yard without a save point.
Do you make a pattern that will inevitably fail the first time you meet it?
Aren’t you being too careless?
I thought it was strange seeing the guy who kindly greeted me at the entrance of the dungeon without having to find it myself.
Looking at the knight of the Apocalypse trying to talk politely there, I even had a slight expectation that it was a reversal character that I could make as a colleague.
All of that was just a ploy to pass the time.
“Does this make sense… … .”
I turned around to see my friend lying on the bed with a relaxed expression, chewing on potato chips.
He picked up the snack from the bag with a graceful gesture, and put it in his mouth with the same amount of leisure as he did when he lifted the snack.
However, contrary to his behavior, the potato chips in his mouth poured out onto the bed with cookie crumbs that had not overcome his natural limits.
“This baby !!!!!!”
My eyes widened and I ran towards him and strangled him.

Khabarovsk railway station.
In the past, it was one of the main hubs of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and in modern times, it serves as a transportation hub connecting abandoned free cities in the frozen land.
And now, encroached upon by the holy Apocalypse, it has become a gathering place for monsters-troops-and a sort of barracks.
To describe the group of monsters gathered here.
The number is overwhelming.
Armament is faithful.
No need to worry about scams. The entire army is a monster that has lost its ego.
With a little exaggeration, it could be said that the military power of a small country is equal.
But don’t worry.
against such an enemy.
Because we weren’t pushed in the slightest.
After I use [Dream of Craving] to break the commander’s mind, which is classified as ‘human’, the next team members in the back will slaughter the monsters.
A tactic with very simple logic.
But just because the logic is simple doesn’t mean its power is diminished. In the end, the subject of doing anything was a person, and our face was not so light.
“Sun-!”
“no! Not me, behind you! behind you!!!”
I pulled out the Yeriel stuck in the chest of the monster that was charging at me and yelled at Anya.
At my cry, she immediately swung the butt over her shoulder and broke the skull of the attacking monster.
“No, please do it quietly! Everyone is coming this way!”
“Princess, you are the one with the highest voice right now.”
“that’s right. Elizabeth. You need to look at yourself first before blaming others.”
“No—!”
The battle was done roughly in this way, and it was possible to get to history without great danger.
The building made of red bricks and gray cement was dreary, in case someone thought it was not made in Russia.
“Jack, prepare all possible power. Don’t be nervous either.”
I opened the glass door to the station and looked back at the children. Jack’s right eyebrow rose at my question.
“You seem to know something, if possible please share what you have.”
“It won’t be an easy battle if the guy in here right now is one of those [Knights of the Apocalypse] I know.”
I stopped my hand trying to open the glass doorknob, and sighed deeply to restore the mana in my body.
[Knight of the Apocalypse].
A small order of knights consisting of exactly four people. It’s a shabby scale to even call it a stage, but they couldn’t be ignored.
“… … hmm. A knight of the Apocalypse.”
At my words, Jack stroked his unshaven, rough-looking chin.
He seemed to know about the [Knight of the Apocalypse].
“Hey, sun. What is the Knight of the Apocalypse?”
“That’s-“
I met eyes with Anya who was looking up at me.
Her eyes are full of curiosity.
The same goes for Desiree. Of the three, only Elizabeth seems to know who he is.
Well, what the academy teaches is only about an organization called the [Holy Apocalypse]. Most of the other information was confidential, so there was no way a normal student like Anya would know about it.
“The ‘Knights of the Apocalypse’ refers to the four knights at the heart of [The Holy Apocalypse].”

Jack opened next to him.
Speaking briefly, he put his hand inside his coat, took out a small stainless steel bottle, tilted his head back, and poured the contents into his mouth.
“Oh, to put it simply, you become the head of a terrorist organization.”
“Yes. Consisting of a total of four people, they each face disease, war, famine, and death. It deals with the four powers of destruction.”
“disease… … . It is a disease.”
At Jack’s words, Desiree punched the palm of her hand.
Giving a glance to Anya and Desiree, who were silently admiring what they were hearing for the first time, he took a few more sips.
“It is known to the world that even the governments of each country cannot know the reality of the ‘Holy Apocalypse’ because it is made up of a thorough point system, but the reality is completely different.”
“It’s not that you don’t know the truth, it’s that you pretend you don’t know it.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Not only is this information difficult to obtain in the first place, but even if you know it, the possibility of subjugation is unknown.”
“Ah-.”
“By the way, Golden Sun… … . You know more than you think.”
Desiree quietly admired what Jack and I were talking about, and Jack stared at me quietly.
“Well, I’m a bit better than I thought.”

Jack smiles at me as if I am dumbfounded as I answer with a twist of the corner of his mouth.
No matter how small the bottle is, is it because the entire bottle of liquor was emptied? There was a hint of red alcohol under Jack’s eyes.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been normal to have stopped the crazy act of drinking right before the battle, but I didn’t stop him because I knew what his alcohol was doing.

Jack’s character is the ambivalence of human beings.
The guy’s usual behavior and the face he saw at the Vatican last time were rational and reasonable.
Then, of course, there is only one thing left.
Looking at Jack’s udder, I stopped thinking and shook my head.
It’s faster to see this in person than to explain it in words.
Rather, it is much more productive to think about the enemy who is in there right now.
The rough information is exactly what Jack said. The core 4 people who lead the Holy Apocalypse. They call themselves ‘Knights of the Apocalypse’.
The “Original” embodies the four catastrophes that will destroy humanity according to the doctrine of the Cross Church. However, they declared that they would use their abilities for the liberation of mankind for their beliefs.
Well, no matter how I looked at it, it only looked like a terrorist speech.
“Then let’s get in.”
With Jack’s red-faced words, we finished the simple maintenance and set foot right into the station.
Inside the building, where you can see the ticket office, ticket gates, and railroad tracks beyond the long gray wall, it was quiet.
The scenery inside the building was not very different from that of the earth where I lived.
As if to prove that someone had been there a little while ago, the ceiling of the central hall was lit up with fluorescent lights.
“I want everyone to pay attention. If, as the golden sun said, the knights of the Apocalypse are in there, you will have to fight in a different form from the battles you have seen so far.”

Jack whispered softly as he stroked the handle of the leaded sword at his waist with his left hand.
Hearing his words, he hears the sound of swallowing saliva behind his back.
When I turned around, Anya’s eyes were wide open, and when I met her eyes, she smiled.
as he said
To define the Knight of the Apocalypse in one word,
‘An enemy that uses a different ability than the enemies I’ve met so far.’
because it was
The enemies I’ve dealt with so far have basically dealt with abilities based on ‘characteristics’. But not the Knights of the Apocalypse.
They were described as ‘knights’, but they were not ‘knights’.
accident circuit.
battle logic.
main ability.
magic response.
In all the factors that determine the direction of battle, it was unreasonable to say that it belonged to a knight.
Their abilities were not based on ‘characteristics’.
However, they were not ordinary people without special abilities. Because in this world, there was one more way to demonstrate superpowers besides ‘characteristics’ and ‘unique skills’.
In the setting of the game – in the sense that they are ‘those who walk the path of magic’.
He was called a “mage” or “wizard”.
Looking at the technique used in the Maritime Province this time. Perhaps the one waiting for us inside… … .
The moment I stepped into the center of the hall like that.
‘Chang-G-Rang-!’
The fluorescent light on the ceiling located in the direction of the entrance was broken.
Broken fluorescent lights aren’t the only ones.
Centered on the round hall where we were located, all the fluorescent lights were broken one by one from the light at the entrance to the direction of the ticket gate on the other side.
One light went out with one sound.
The station turns into darkness in an instant. The sudden loss of vision made the muscles of the whole body tense.
and.
[A pretty big man came.]
Someone’s voice came through the speaker. fluent Korean. As expected, the guy I was thinking of was right.
In a short time, the magically strengthened eyes adjusted to the darkness, so sight was restored.
Fortunately, no one disappeared or lost in the middle.
Anya pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet, and Desiree and Elizabeth drew their swords from their scabbards.
[—I never thought Jack Daniel, the famous Royal Knight Commander, would come. I couldn’t even imagine. This is a crisis.]
Even though he recited lines of embarrassment, his voice was calm.
I even felt a bit of freedom.
And through the dark hallway beyond the turnstile, through the light coming in like a thread, a doll is visible. it came straight out.
I felt it from the guy’s directing.
Also, my prediction was correct.
Conversation with a relaxed tone rather than launching a surprise attack against a formidable enemy. Even the kindness that greeted them by hand.

Jack’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment, and he grabbed the handle of his sword firmly.
If Jack, who has sensitive senses, can feel it, then has it already started… … .
‘Everyone, purify your blood vessels with magic. Poison was released into the air. And don’t react, he notices.’
As soon as I saw Jack’s reaction, I immediately whispered in a small whisper.
At my words, Jack rolled his eyes back and looked at me, then took a deep breath.
There was no answer, but I felt that he followed my words.
I immediately began to purify by circulating mana roughly in my body. As expected, the strange feeling I felt for the first time filled my veins before I knew it.
Had he stayed still, he would have been crawling on the floor vomiting blood a few seconds later.
Colorless, odorless, tasteless. It’s perfect poison.
There is no use trying to open the door you came in to ventilate. There must have been a magic circle that restricted the flow of air around the station.
[nice to meet you. I am one of the 4 Knights of the Apocalypse. The rider of the white horse.]
In an exaggeratedly large movement, the doll, which only saw shadows in the dark, lowered its head while bringing its right hand in front of its belly.
[The area I am in charge of is infectious diseases and poisons, which are called the Chinese Plague in the world.]

Jack stared at him blankly, and I gritted my teeth. I could hear the quiet voices of the children behind me.
[You’ve worked hard to come this far…]
He lifted his head, bowed deeply, and looked at us. A torn, bizarre smile came into his eyes.
[—I hope you go bye.]
Looking at that smile, I also twisted the corners of my mouth and chanted quietly.
“Caught.”
