Is this how it works?
The fact that the six families had been desperately trying to find a new settlement for ten years was not just because of the noble and pure intention of continuing life.
If I had really pure intentions, it would have been much quicker and easier to let everyone know and to bring all the power and resources of the city together to get things going.
However, the six families did not do that and tried to find a new land only with their own strength.
The reason was simple.
It was to continue to hold hegemony in the future.
The reason why the six families were able to reign as absolute beings in the Last City was because they were in charge of roles that no one could replace, such as making covenants, producing food, and maintaining the environment.
However, in the new world, the six families were not essential.
Failing to adapt to the changes, they could fall from the ruling class to the ruled class or even disappear.
“You have to find a new land without telling anyone. If we can preoccupy new lands, if we can take more rights, we will be able to continue to reign in the new world.”
When he learned that the fragmented map and the flowers that were evidence of the unspoiled land had been taken over by another faction, Oswald thought it was all over.
The vast amount of manpower and goods invested in the search for decades have gone to waste, and they have failed to secure a foothold to preoccupy a new land and continue their reign forever.
At that moment a miracle happened.
-Don’t let the world know about this fact, and let’s find a new land by forming an expedition among the forces that have the map.
“This is your chance!”
If rumors of a new land had spread among the people, everything would have been in vain.
However, the powers with the leadership raised a secret collusion, wanting to gain more benefits and rights than others about the new land, just like the six families did.
The six families saw this as an opportunity to wipe out all other powers and regain the rights and interests of the new lands that should have been theirs, and set out on an expedition with the intention of betraying them from the beginning.
Fortunately, compared to other forces that only had maps, the six families had information and know-how about the outside world that they had accumulated over ten years of exploration, and based on that information, they conserved more power and did not use trump numbers. They succeeded in reaching the uncontaminated land without any damage.
And the moment the mutant dragon, the last gateway, was dealt with, Oswald sent the promised signal to his subordinates.
‘Considering the atmosphere, it’s not strange when a traitor comes out. It’s a little early, but it’s better to hit the head first than to take your time and get hit in the back.’
The moment people burn incense, they collapse all at once.

Joy filled the faces of Oswald and the six families.
But the joy was short-lived.
“Why are there guys standing still!”
* * *
“antidote? tolerance? Could it be that the ingredients in the covenant have been corrupted? No, it should still have some effect, but what the hell is this… … .”
A faint smile appeared on Yoosung’s face as he looked at Oswald, who was talking gibberish.
It was a satisfying scene where the time spent restarting the quest from the beginning, the right to re-challenge, the elixir, and the effort felt worthwhile.
“How is it? Am I right?”
“… … I’m sorry for doubting you. I apologize formally.”
“No matter how blind I am to a new land, I never thought I would use such a mean and dirty trick. I’m disappointed, Oswald.”
“I knew it would be like this. The more shiny the outside, the more the inside is rotten.”
‘How can I know this?’
Tears covered my eyes when I thought of the reactions the leaders of each faction had shown over the past few days.
It was an unexpectedly very difficult task to convince people to believe in their claims in a situation where they could say that they had seen it directly from the future, and there was no clear evidence or witnesses to prove the fact.
The level of difficulty increased even more because it was absurd that the special ingredients contained in the covenants given by the six families, and that when combined with certain scents, they exert powerful paralyzing ingredients.
If he was wrong, he barely succeeded in persuading him with the condition that he would sacrifice his head immediately, but if he hadn’t, he might have met the same result with his eyes open.
“… … Is that what you did again?”
Are you sane?
Yoosung answered Oswald’s question with a smile.
“Does it sound a bit strange? It’s not what I did, it’s what you did. I was just telling people the truth.”
“Very few people knew about this plan. How did you find out?”
“I heard it directly from those very few people.”
“Who is that?”
Yoosung pointed his finger at Oswald, and a small laugh erupted from somewhere.
That was the decisive blow.
Oswald’s face, contorted with anger, instantly turned into a cold, emotionless expression.
“… … I will kill you all.”
“Can I kill you?”
There were people who collapsed to see if the medicine wasn’t completely discharged, but even if they were excluded, the difference in numbers between the six families and the remaining forces was more than doubled, and if the number of masters was counted, the difference in quality widened to three times.
A wide plain without even the advantage of the environment.
In terms of common sense, the chances of the six families winning were non-existent.
However, the moment Oswald’s eyes met Yoosung, he realized that something was going wrong.
The eyes of a person who lost his reason due to anger, not the eyes of a person who gave up everything, but the eyes of an extremely calm person.
“A hundred years ago, after the first family head created a covenant to prevent pollution, our family has tried to increase the effectiveness of the covenant for generations. Most attempts have failed, but as many people put their heads together, some interesting ideas came up.”
Oswald took out a small potion from his bosom.
Unlike the pure white covenant, this potion feels cloudy for some reason.
“The idea of changing the nature of pollution to prevent it. The result was half success. The contamination of the mind could be prevented, but the contamination of the body could not be prevented. No, on the contrary, it got much worse.”
Opening the cap with a snap of his fingers, Oswald brought the contents of the potion to his mouth.
“From now on… … .”
bang!
A sharp gunshot and a strong stream of blood gushing from Oswald’s forehead.
Feeling the eyes of many people pouring towards him, Yooseong said with a calm expression.
“I’m trying to eat a potion that looks suspicious at first glance, but why are you just looking at it?”
It wasn’t even a forced cutscene in the game, so if it was possible to stop it, of course it was correct.
“Hmmmm, isn’t there such a thing as an atmosphere?”
“What is the atmosphere like? Do you know what a flag is? If you just leave it like that… … .”
Took.
All eyes, including Yoosung, turned to the source of the sound.
“… … .”
Oswald’s body, which should have become a cold corpse, was moving.
Oswald staggered to his feet, and the corner of his mouth was smeared with a thick liquid.
“… … Let me show you the effect.”
the moment the words are finished.
Oswald’s body began to swell rapidly.
A gigantic size approaching Gigant’s, and an exoskeleton glistening red.
Eyeballs sprouted all over the body and eight arms protruding from the back.
While everyone froze for a moment at the terrible appearance reminiscent of the dragon he had just defeated, Oswald took a step forward.
“sport? Was that the only trump card you kept hidden?”
Countless attacks began pouring in towards Oswald.
Mercenary’s mercenaries sever limbs with weapons imbued with auras, steel giant’s Gigant shatter shells, and spirits’ shelter’s wizards’ magic rips through flesh.
An attack that would have been knocked out a long time ago by a normal variant.
However, what people were dealing with now was not a simple mutant, but the best alchemist in the last city.
“Quaaa!”
The space seemed to be shaking, and then potions were created in Oswald’s hand.
Oswald, who was shaking the potions of liquids of various colors such as red, blue, yellow, and black, started tossing them in all directions.
Kwagwagwang!
Blasphemy!

Jigsaw Jigsaw!
As the glass bottle broke, the contents in contact with the atmosphere caused various reactions depending on their color.
Some caused violent explosions, some froze everything, and some produced powerful electrical discharges.
The moment everyone was panicking at the unexpected attack, Yoosung’s voice rang out.
“Stop! He’s trying to drink a recovery potion!”
“Hehehe, it’s already too late.”
When the recovery potion was added to a variant that already had strong regenerative power, the effect was terrifying.
Oswald, who regained his original form in the blink of an eye, took out various potions and held them with a cruel smile.
Those who thought it was some kind of offensive potion like the one before took a defensive stance or stepped back and prepared for the shock, but that was a fatal mistake.
Gulp!
The contents of the ten potions all disappeared into Oswald’s stomach.
At first, I thought there was a wound that never healed, but it took less than a second to realize that I was wrong.
“Hahahaha! strength! full of energy!”
aaang!
Gigant, which was made entirely of iron, turned into a lump of scrap metal in one punch.
Twice as compared to before… … . No, more than 3 times the attack power.
Moreover, it was not only the attack power that went up.
The speed that left afterimages, the defensive power that can withstand the aura head-on, the concentration that perfectly receives the attacks from the knights, and the insane reaction speed that goes beyond just avoiding bullets and catching them with your fingers!
“Doping?”
“It is a strengthening potion. Fool!”
Oswald, who had narrowed the distance of 100 meters with just one step, threw a punch with a fishy smile.
‘Even if I just brush it, I’ll die!’
I abandoned the thought of avoiding it early on.
Between sending commands from his brain to his legs to move, Oswald’s fists could turn himself into a piece of meat more than ten times.
There was only one thing that could move faster than the body.
“Cheukhak!”
Along with the feeling of shaking the intestines, blood streams flowed from the nose and mouth.
It was because the body was shaken by the remnants of physical force so powerful that even the perfect Taegeuk Mi-wall could not take it.
Beyond the blurred vision, he saw Oswald’s second fist flying.
Quaang!
In a desperate moment, it was Vulcan who intervened at the right time to save Yoosung’s life.
Was it because he was angry at Tyrant for taking his fist lightly?
Oswald started a slugfest with the Tyrant, making a face like a savagery and using ten fists.
Quaang! Quaang! Quaang!
“What an ignorant… … .”
Oswald, who took the first attack with his body to see how strong he really was, was frightened by the enormous damage that caused him to lose nearly 30% of his body, so he had no choice but to dodge all the attacks that followed.
Even after dozens or hundreds of hits, the outer armor was slightly distorted.
Believing that a head-to-head fight would not be the answer, Oswald took out a new potion with green contents, threw it at Tyrant, and retreated.
“Where to run… … . Cool!”
thud!
Tyrant is down.
No, to be precise, Vulkan had fallen.
Sensing that he had no chance of winning against him head-on, Oswald threw a potion that created poison gas, remembering that Gigant was not a manipulator completely sealed from the outside.
No matter how invincible it is, it is useless without a pilot.
Oswald, who looked at Tyrant, who fell to the ground and did not even move, began to deal with the Mercenary’s mercenaries who followed him belatedly.
‘… … Is this the quest you made to break? No matter how B-class it is, isn’t it too much?’
Despair was young in Yoosung’s eyes.
I thought I could desperately roll my head to come up with a plan, raise the scale to attract various forces, go back in time to stop the scheme, and finally clear the quest this time, but the reality was nowhere near that.
Oswald was a monster.
Tyrant was just the beginning.
The head of the Mercenary, who was emitting an aura the size of a house, was hit and killed by a bear hug, and Crow, who used ten wires terribly, died instantly without being able to withstand a single punch.
Watching the leaders, executives, and talented people of each faction being swept away, it made me even think that I had wasted my time meaninglessly until now.
‘It seems like the only way to attack is to tie that guy down while all powers are intact and the Tyrant attacks and catches him… … . It’s too late.’
The moment Vulcan fell, this mission was no different from a failure.
In the 4th round, Yoosung was contemplating whether to follow the same route and challenge Oswald Raid once more, or aim for a clean basic clear, when the fallen Tyrant came into view.
Unlike the somewhat unsightly torso, the bulky arms with no flaws.
At that moment, an inspiration passed through Yoosung’s head.
‘I don’t know if it will or not… … .’
There’s nothing to lose by trying.
Meteor approached Tyrant with a staggering body, inserted a plasma ax between Tyrant’s joints, and began to slash them.
Fortunately, the contents inside were not very large compared to the size on the outside, so it was not difficult to cut off the arm.
＜Left Arm of Tyrant＞
-Grade: A+
-Type: Machine
-Gigant Tyrant’s left arm created by the eccentric Dwarf craftsman Vulkan. By generously using all kinds of rare metals and the latest technology, it has succeeded in equipping it with performance and special functions that exceed the limits of the average Gigant. All that remains is to solve the mass production problem.
-Extreme durability.
– Self-recovery.
– Shock mitigation 99%.
-According to the grade of the mana stone equipped, it is possible to activate the kaiwan mode that can generate powerful power.
– Intermediate Mana Stone: Strength +1,000
-Greater Mana Stone: Strength +2,000
-Superlative Mana Stone: Strength +3,000
The first barrier has been passed.
It has almost the same abilities as expected and is able to function even though it has been detached from the fuselage.
Of course, this arm alone can’t do anything.
He didn’t have the strength to fight with his arms weighing several tons, and even if he had that strength, he couldn’t even fight properly with arms that were ignorantly sized several times his body.
However, if one item is added here, the situation changes.
[Pay 1,000,000 Karma Points to bring out the Heavenly Beast (B+).]
An artifact that can store various weapons obtained from Kang Chang-seok.
Equipped with the heavenly hand, Yuseong placed his palm on Tyrant’s arm with a trembling hand.
And moments later, one of the decorations glowed and the Tyrant’s arm disappeared.
“… … does this work?”
this is not a game
