Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 54
Only Noblemtl
Episode 54
The iron-clad Taurus were never afraid of fire.
The reason fire is scary is because of the burning pain that occurs the moment it touches the skin, but they were free from the burning pain because they were wearing armor that was over 1cm thick.
Of course, due to the nature of the armor, if exposed to fire for a long time, it would turn into a braised rib while still alive, but it was unlikely to be exposed to fire for that long during a battle.
Even if you encounter an enemy using fire, you can quickly rush through the fire and kill the enemy.
Because the flame’s own anti-personnel power was poor.
But the flames that came out of Jin Ga-ryeong’s hands were different.
It wasn’t the red flame that ordinary fire magicians or pyromancers used.
Blue flame, blue flower.
Her flame, which seemed so pale that it seemed cold at first glance, was actually terrifyingly hot.
So much so that it can melt even the most solid iron armor in an instant.
“Crack… …?”
“Huh… … ?!”
As the once solid armor clung to their bodies, the Taurus began to sense that something was wrong.
But it was already too late.
The melted armor stuck to their skin and began to eat them away.
It was like pouring boiling water over one’s head.
The Taurus collapsed in the face of the intense burning pain they had never felt before.
Hwaruk-
As the blue flames were collected, a horrific scene was revealed.
The corpses of Taurus pickled in salt water.
Yeom Gyeong-seok couldn’t help but be astonished at the sight of its power.
‘The Flame Shot skill I used couldn’t catch a single mammoth… … .’
Kyungseok’s class is the same as Ga-ryeol’s, ‘Hwa-kwon-sa’.
A close-range, mid-range martial arts dealer who fights by wrapping his fists in flames created from mana or shooting them out.
Although they were both in the same class of swordsman, the difference in their skills was on a completely different level.
“Hey guys, are you hurt anywhere?”
For example, immediately after dealing with the monsters, he looked after the injured guild members.
“Call the healers! Just in case, let’s go scouting in groups of three!”
She didn’t care about the monsters that died.
No, from the moment the flames were shot to the point of melting the armor, the monsters were already not interested at all.
If the monster’s body melted, she would have to give up the items she could have gotten from the monster, but she didn’t care about that and just continued to attack with high-powered flames.
At this moment, items were not of interest to her.
What’s important to her is that at least one less guild member gets hurt.
Nothing came above it.
… Of course, sometimes my priorities changed because of my competitive spirit.
After the injured were taken care of, Ga-ryeong approached Gyeong-seok and asked.
“I saw it.”
“yes.”
“What do you think, he still seems stronger than me?”
“that…….”
“I guess he really is a tough guy since he didn’t answer within 3 seconds.”
Kyung-seok neither confirmed nor denied the statement.
It’s just a little stiff.
For example, Ga-ryeong smiled brightly and tapped Gyeong-seok on the shoulder.
“Kyung-seok.”
“yes.”
“If you ever get the chance, make sure to let me meet that guy named Cheon Yeong-su.”
“…What are you going to do?”
“What should I do?”
Papak!
Blue sparks flew from Ga-ryung’s fingertips.
“Let’s have a go.”
I knew this would happen.
Kyung-seok nodded with an expression on his face.
At the same time, I thought it would be an extremely remote task.
Because Youngsoo, like Ga-ryeong, was the leader of a group, I thought it would be nearly impossible for him to come to this.
But contrary to Kyung-seok’s expectations, the opportunity came very quickly.
* * *
3 days later, Wild Shopping Center conference room.
Youngsoo entered the conference room holding an iron bag.
Gap-seok, who had arrived first and been waiting, spoke loudly.
“What were you doing and why are you here now?”
“The new weapon test took longer than expected. Sorry.”
“By the way, why did you call me?”
“I plan to attack two ruins within the next five days.”
ruins.
A general term for the unidentified relics that began to appear after the Great Battle.
The interior of the ruins was completely isolated from the outside, and due to spatial distortion, the interior space was much larger than it appeared from the outside.
And because it is almost always inhabited by a large number of monsters, it has always been a target for players.
Some people called it a dungeon, but its official name was a ruin.
Swish, swish-
Youngsoo wrote the names of two relics on the whiteboard.
Gapseok’s brow furrowed slightly when he saw the names of these relics.
Youngsoo asked.
“Do you know either of these two?”
“Well… I guess we both know that place.”
“Then the story is going quickly. Do you happen to know which guild owns these two relics?”
“I understand that the ownership of the Twisted Prison is quite complicated. I believe that Nashin’s cave belongs to the Cheonghwa Guild.”
“Is your cave the Cheonghwa Guild?”
“yes.”
Yeongsu thought of the players from the Cheonghwa Guild that he had saved three days ago.
I had a feeling that maybe things would work out easier than I thought.
“But, Gilma, why those two places… … ?”
“One place will make me strong, and the other will make us strong.”
“I’m not asking what you’ll gain by conquering. I’m asking why you insist on conquering places that have been deemed unconquerable.”
“It’s not like they’re impossible to conquer. You just don’t know how to conquer them.”
“ah…….”
“And since I see that the cave in Nashin is marked as unassailable, it looks like a ‘sinkhole’ has formed.”
“Is it a sinkhole?”
“Ah, I wouldn’t know since you were a member of the KPA.”
Youngsoo did the math in his head.
A twisted prison, a cave of nakedness.
Which of these should I go to first?
“I’d rather have a cave of my own, where I can enter, than a twisted prison with twisted ownership. My cave of my own is closer, too.”
“But honestly, it’s surprising.”
“what?”
“I thought they’d just barge in and claim ownership and all.”
“If it were normal, I would have done that. But now, I can’t do that.”
“why?”
“If we ignore the justification and go ahead recklessly, our relationships with other organizations will be shattered. However, the scale of the wars we will face in the future will not be small. In preparation for that, we must maintain our relationships with other organizations without friction as much as possible.”
“Are you thinking of forming a united front?”
“If necessary.”
Gap-seok nodded at Yeong-su’s explanation.
“Then when are you going to go to Nashin’s cave?”
“now.”
“yes?”
“We have to move as fast as possible.”
Youngsoo got up and went outside.
Still holding the metal bag I brought earlier.
“Oh, but where is the Cheonghwa Guild building?”
“If you go out and go straight west… … .”
* * *
Cheonghwa Guild headquarters building.
Security and reconnaissance were much tighter than before.
It was because of the invasion of the iron-clad Tauros that occurred a while ago.
This was also why Youngsoo was caught in their security net as soon as he arrived.
“stop!”
Two players from Cheonghwa stopped Youngsu.
Youngsoo said.
“This is Undercover Guild Master Cheon Yeong-su.”
“What is Undercover?”
“I’m KPA.”
“KPA… …? Oh, over there.”
His attitude softened a little when the name Undercover came up.
“I came to see the Cheonghwa Guild Master. Please show me around.”
“Have you made an appointment?”
“Do you have any way to make an appointment? Do you have a working phone?”
The person on the Qinghua side was taken aback for a moment and then said:
“Then why don’t you just make an appointment and go back? He’s not the kind of person who can just meet you when he wants to.”
“I don’t have any free time either.”
“That… that’s right.”
Yeongsu thought as he watched him hesitate slowly.
‘Should I just use a dropper?’
At that moment, I suddenly had a thought that if I just shoot in a way that doesn’t kill me, I won’t be able to fix it later.
“Mr. Cheon Yeong-su?”
A familiar face approached from inside the building.
I’m talking about the firefighter that Youngsoo saved a while ago.
“Uh, you… … ?”
“This is Yeom Gyeong-seok. It’s nice to see you again. You came to see the Master?”
“huh.”
“Follow me.”
Youngsoo followed Gyeongseok into the building.
On the way, Gyeongseok asked.
“But why have you come to see us, Master?”
“I would like to get permission to enter the ruins.”
“A relic?”
“Naked Cave.”
As soon as the word “naked oyster” came out, Kyung-seok’s expression hardened abruptly.
“… You want to go there? A place that has already been ruled as unconquerable… … .”
“It’s not the system’s decision, it’s yours.”
“That’s true, but… … .”
While he was talking to Gyeong-seok like that, Yeong-su arrived in front of the master of the Cheong-hwa Guild.
For example, in front of a building carrying construction materials such as rebar.
‘Is that person Jin Ga-ryeong?’
She was a young woman.
Appearance: Early 30s.
What was particularly noticeable was the physical.
A height comparable to that of an adult male, with well-built muscles.
Ga-ryeong spoke to Gyeong-seok in a slightly surprised voice.
“What? You really brought me here?”
“I came to you suddenly.”
At Ga-ryung’s words, Yeong-su thought to himself, ‘What?’
For example, he spoke to Youngsoo as if making an excuse.
“No, don’t get me wrong. I really wanted to see you once.”
“Me? Why?”
“First, the visitor should state his business first. Tell me. Why did you come to see Cheonghwa?”
“I would like to get permission to enter the ruins of Nashin’s Cave.”
For example, Ga-ryung’s eyes narrowed.
“There’s nothing to gain even if you go.”
“You guys, of course. There would be no way to access the inside of the sinkhole.”
Sinkhole.
As soon as that word came out, Ga-ryeong’s expression suddenly became fierce.
“What are you? Why do you know that?!”
“That’s not important. What’s important is that I’m the only player who can retrieve the items you dropped in the sinkhole.”
“How can you believe that?”
“Did you break the pillar while attacking your boss?”
“… … !”
“I guess they were planning to subdue him by bringing down the ceiling, but that didn’t work.”
“…Why do you know that?”
Hurrah!
Blue sparks flew from Ga-ryung’s fingertips.
Youngsoo was momentarily surprised when he saw the color of the fireworks.
‘Oh, you’re using blue ink?’
But that wasn’t what mattered now.
“Why would you know? If you just keep playing the game like crazy, you’ll know it.”
“The Naked Cave has never been in World: Terrain… … .”
“Yes. You just didn’t discover it.”
Of course, the ruins of Nashin’s cave never existed while World: Terrain was in service.
Because it was a relic that appeared after the massacre.
But since it was a game that was full of hidden elements, I was able to understand it and move on.
“… Well, it is a game that has a lot of strange aspects.
“Do you believe me now?”
“I’ll trust you, so tell me the details.”
“I will catch the boss in the sinkhole and retrieve the items you dropped inside.”
“So what do you get from it?”
“The item the boss drops. I’ll take it.”
This is exactly what Youngsoo was after.
The 4-star item, , is possessed by the boss of Nashin’s Cave, ‘Nashin Quadrun’.
It was a rare item that could fill Youngsu’s lack of defense at once.
however…….
“No, that doesn’t add up.”
For example, Ga-ryung rejected Young-soo’s proposal.
“I don’t think there can be a fairer deal than this?”
“It’s not fair. I just don’t like the conditions.”
“… What do you think?”
“Let’s do this. Let’s have a go.”
“…what?”
“Let’s have a round of sparring. Are you strong?”
Youngsoo was taken aback for a moment.
Suddenly a duel?
Youngsoo asked.
“What are you going to do after sparring?”
“If I win, you come under me.”
“What if I win?
“You can take all the boss’s drops, as well as the items we dropped there.”
“… … !”
“How about this, I guess it’s doable… … .”
“call.”
Yeongsu accepted before Ga-ryeong even finished speaking.
They want me to take not only the boss system, but also the items that were originally my own?
No one would be crazy enough to turn down such an offer.
Yeongsu immediately got up from his seat and said.
“Let’s get started, right now.”
“The person is refreshing. Let’s go out.”
“What are the rules for sparring?”
“No armor, level 1 basic weapon, non-lethal duel.”
“call.”
“Okay. Hey Kyung-seok, prepare a copy of the employment contract. We’re bringing in a new employee today.”
So the two headed to the backyard of the building.
