Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 59
Only Noblemtl
Episode 59
After a brief conversation.
Youngsoo took out a bracelet that was placed inside the warehouse.
It wasn’t exactly a bracelet, but rather a thick piece of iron armor.
This is a type of armor that is automatically worn on the wearer’s body when magical power is injected into it.
The name of this equipment is .
Armor with excellent portability, fairly high defensive power, and proportionally enormous weight.
Youngsoo planned to wear this as his own armor.
Through .
“Hmm? Isn’t that the armor that Minister Moza Hong had?”
Hat Hong.
A former Minister of Public Administration and Security, who used that position to try to exploit the wild.
As a result, he provoked Yeongsu’s anger, and in a last-ditch effort, he put on iron armor and attacked Yeongsu, but in the end, he died as if he were a human being, armor included.
The armor that this guy was wearing at the time was none other than Accord’s armor.
Youngsoo put Acord’s armor into his inventory.
After that, I activated the that I acquired from this attack.
Zzuzuzuzu-
A ring of projection armor that projects the defensive power of the armor in the inventory onto the wearer’s body.
Youngsoo felt something like a very fine current wrapping around his body.
“Is this what it feels like?”
Well, I don’t think this will interfere with the battle.
“what are you doing?”
“Please, let me ask you one favor.”
Yeongsu took a sharp dagger from the shelf and put it in Gapseok’s hand.
“ruler.”
“What is it? What do you want?”
“Poke me with this.”
“Are you kidding me?”
“I won’t dodge or steal it. I’ll stab you quickly… … .”
Bang!
Before Young-soo could finish speaking, Gap-seok stabbed him in the stomach with a knife.
And of course, the sword was blocked beautifully.
It was as if Youngsoo was wearing transparent armor.
Gap-seok looked interested when he saw this.
“Hoo, what item is it this time?”
“It’s called the ring of the projection armor… No, even putting that aside, you stabbed me without any hesitation? Before I could even finish my sentence?”
“Oh, why? I told you to stab me.”
“Have you always wanted to stab me?”
“No. I trusted you. There’s no way you would have told me to stab you with a knife without any preparation.”
“You speak really well, really.”
Anyway, this concludes the performance test of the Projection Armor Ring.
I also confirmed that the latest external mana battery was still working fine, even though it had run out of ammo.
And the most important thing.
I even got my hands on the ‘eye’ of the naked Quadrun.
So, are we ready with this? … … .
“There’s still one left.”
Youngsoo took something out of his inventory.
A large, solid mass, glowing purple and squishy at the same time.
Gapseok asked.
“What is that?”
“The poison gland of the naked quadruped. But this… I can do it later. For now, there’s something more urgent.”
“Is it urgent?”
“ Strategy Guide.”
“Are you going right now? Isn’t that too much of a push?”
“Of course I’m resting today. I’ll move tomorrow.”
“But it still feels like a forced march.”
“We must march. We must move as quickly as possible and prepare for war.”
“why?”
“No matter how quickly or thoroughly you prepare for war, it is not enough.”
Youngsoo’s words turned out to be true.
In fact, the elves were moving much faster than Youngsu had initially expected.

Eldrunia, the Great Temple.
After the Pope declared a meeting, soon after, archbishops and other high ranking officials began to gather in the cathedral.
The moment I entered the main temple through the beautifully decorated path and the stately main gate, the first thing I heard was a low groaning sound.
“Ughhhhh… … .”
A groan came from the air above.
A young assistant priest heard the sound and raised his head toward the place where the groaning had come from.
“… … !”
There were several elves hanging there.
The number is ten.
They were hanging like pendulums, tied tightly to the ends of chains hanging from the high ceiling, groaning.
An unknown fluid was dripping from the chained and crushed flesh.
His superior, the bishop, spoke to him.
“They neglected their duty to worship, sang songs that were not hymns, and made and sold alcohol. There is no reason to show them any pity, so look ahead.”
“Was worship… something that could be missed?”
What surprised the young assistant priest was not the brutal manner of punishment.
He was astonished that the crimes they had committed could actually be committed.
“They will groan there for a while because they were hung in the Great Temple, and then they will go to God. It is the least mercy we priests can give to those who have sinned. So, do not pity them.”
“…All right.”
“I sense hesitation at the end of your words. If you have any questions, ask them before entering the conference room.”
“What happened to those who plotted suicide?”
“You’re curious about unusual things.”
The bishop paused for a moment, looking rather interested, before answering.
“Those who conspired to commit murder, they are imprisoned in the .”
“Is this a twisted prison? They don’t kill people?”
“Yes. They must suffer there forever. Such mortal sinners are not even allowed the right to die.”
“ah…….”
The murder suspects.
They were a term referring to elves who attempted to kill the 13 gods served by elves.
The incident that shocked the elven society was never realized, and the plotters were all caught and imprisoned.
Everyone thought that the word ‘salshin’ would never surface again… … .
“I officially declare the death of the 13th god, Nashin Quadrun.”
The bishops’ faces became gloomy at the Pope’s words.
“Why… … ?”
“What the… … !”
“Quiet. That’s why I called this meeting today.”
All the bishops were silent at the Pope’s words.
The king said.
“Archbishop Carlton.”
“yes.”
“You should be the vanguard.”
“The vanguard means… … .”
“The where Nashin resided currently exists on Earth. You must go to Earth, find the cave, and spread terror on the land where the cave exists.”
“I will accept it.”
“And there is a relic management team.”
“yes.”
“You must continue to pursue the energy of the Demon Sword Cronus. There must be some kind of connection between this assassination and the Demon Sword.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Several agenda items crossed the conference room after that, but the conclusion was simple.
Hit the earth.
There, they hunt down and kill murderers, and they also kill all those who are not murderers.
To get rid of pests, exterminate all insects.
This was their basic mindset.
“This is both war and purification. Go and prepare for war.”
“yes!”
So, a war gradually began to stir.

The next day.
Yeongsu went out to the wild market early in the morning.
It was to head to the .
It was almost the same outfit as when I went to the other day.
However, there was a difference. First of all, I was wearing the ‘Ring of the Projection Armor’, and this time I could only carry two bullets.
“You used all ten shots?! How hard is it to refine that… …!”
When Kwak Gi-su heard that all the coal had been used up in Nashin’s cave, he let out a word that was almost a sigh.
But what can I do since I’ve already used it all?
In the end, I was able to refine two shots worth of magic stones in a short period of time to create two shots.
“I guess I won’t be able to walk around empty-handed today.”
Phew!
Youngsoo started running.
How long did you run like that?
Youngsu soon entered a dense forest where the entrance to the was located.
‘Twisted Prison… You said that the ownership of this place is intertwined with three guilds?’
In other words, to summarize, it was a troublesome situation in many ways.
Because in order to enter here, you had to negotiate with three guilds.
‘If I join in, it’ll be a four-party negotiation… How can I gain entry?’
I kept thinking about it, but I couldn’t come up with a definitive answer.
But I couldn’t just wait for the answer to come out.
In the end, what Youngsoo chose was to just go and see for himself.
But when I actually got there… … .
“uh?”
Three players dispatched from three guilds were all sprawled out in a mess inside the outpost.
Youngsoo ran towards them.
And checked their breathing and heart rate.
‘…They’re all alive?’
They were all alive and quite healthy.
But they were in a state where they would never wake up for an hour or two.
Because all three of them were very drunk.
There was no particular reason why these people from three hostile guilds ended up drinking together and collapsing.
It’s just because we’ve been seeing each other for so long that we’ve become attached to each other.
The three guilds are hostile to each other.
So, we sent players as guards to keep each other from entering these ruins and to keep them in check.
But regardless of their guild ties, they quickly became close friends.
This is because the guilds sent them out and didn’t give them any special care.
That’s why they became friends with the players of the enemy guild right in front of them more quickly than with their own guild, which was indifferent to them.
So today, they happened to share a bottle of high-quality liquor called Captinque that someone had brought, and they got so drunk.
From Youngsoo’s perspective, there was no such good news.
Because it was an opportunity to skip all the complicated negotiations and difficult politics and enter the ruins.
“… Good work, everyone.”
Yeongsu finally reached the entrance to the ruins after overcoming the barricade they had set up.
Yeongsu thought again about the things he had to do in there.
‘Inside this are the elves who tried to kill the god.’
In other words, the most vicious of the traitors who openly rebelled against elven society were imprisoned here.
Youngsoo’s Undercover Guild is soon in a situation where it must go to war with the elves.
Therefore, if we could just recruit the elven traitors, it would be of great help.
‘Especially Swaus, that guy must be recruited.’
Ki-gi …
Yeongsu pulled the barred door at the entrance, opened the gap next to it, and went inside.
In fact, this was not the main gate of the twisted prison, but the end of the prison’s sewer system.
The sewage water went into the place where the sewage water should have flowed out.
An impenetrable ruin, a twisted prison.
The reason for the inability to conquer was completely different from that of Nashin’s Cave, which was also an inaccessible relic.
In the case of Nashin’s Cave, it was judged as impossible to conquer because the final opponent, the boss, could not be caught.
On the other hand, the Twisted Prison was considered unconquerable because no way to deal with the monsters encountered at the beginning was found.
This is because of the monsters, the ‘Okjol Ghosts’, that keep pouring out no matter how many times you kill them.
If they were simply strong monsters, it would have ended with them winning and killing each other.
But because of their almost infinite nature, there was virtually no way to defeat them.
Still, players were constantly struggling to come up with ways to kill and destroy the ogre wraiths.
But in Youngsoo’s view, this was a worry that was going in the completely wrong direction.
‘Instead of worrying about ‘getting rid of’ them, you should have been thinking about how to ‘get past’ their obstacles.’
Chulbuk, chulbuk-
This is inside the sewers of a twisted prison.
From a distance, several footsteps could be heard approaching Yeongsu.
It was the sound of footsteps of the ghosts of the guards.
“… It’s been a while.”
Yeongsu greeted the ghosts in a way that they couldn’t even understand.
They finally showed themselves before Youngsoo.
A black robe covering her from head to toe, a face so rotten that it was unrecognizable, and-
Cheeeeeee… … .
Even the large, round soldering iron he held in one hand.
They use that iron to drive away intruders, causing them great pain.
… was commonly known, but this was not true.
Chulbuk, chulbuk, chulbuk-
Youngsoo approached the guards, and the guards approached Youngsoo.
Now the distance between them is only one meter.
A situation where it wouldn’t be strange for weapons from both sides to stab each other at any time.
At that moment-
Sigh.
Yeongsu lifted up the hem of his shirt.
Yeongsu said, revealing the bare skin underneath his shirt.
“I’m tired.”
Cheeeeeee!
Without hesitation, Okjol burned Yeongsu’s chest with a soldering iron.
