Episode 194 – Leave Disaster for Profit?

Inside the tower, a blizzard is raging.

In a forest full of beautiful pine-like trees, someone’s eyes lit up.

A person wearing a black hood, sitting on a thick tree branch and looking somewhere.

He sighed and muttered.

“A summoner… … It won’t be easy.”

I knew they were going to call for reinforcements.

But, who would have thought they would bring such a big shot?

He threw himself towards the one leading them.

He landed lightly and walked towards someone, stepping on the snow.

“Captain, it seems like the summoner has come to assist?”

“… … So that’s how it happened.”

A man who had been warming himself by a wildly swinging campfire stood up.

Dark, dead eyes.

His unfocused eyes stared blankly at the dangerous fire.

[Warmth has been restored.]

He stood up after hearing the message from the tower.

Following him, the people who had been warming themselves around the campfire rose one by one.

A pungent smell rose up and then dispersed in the strong wind.

The bonfire went out, unable to withstand the blizzard, as the bodies of the people blocking the wind disappeared.

Pew-.

The captain, who had roughly disposed of the ashes by stepping on them, stood there, looking troubled.

Everyone waited for his command in silence.

What to do.

‘The opponent is the 93rd rank deity with the highest price of the time.’

Indeed, I was worried about what kind of relationship I should build with him.

After thinking for a short while, the captain opened his mouth.

“I’ll carry out the contract as it is. Nothing will change.”

“All right.”

“We will not die even if we die, so do not take care of your body.”

“yes.”

The captain turned and disappeared into the snowstorm.

Someone was making the sign of the cross and shouting.

“For the lost families… … .”

“Vigilante, move.”

Vigilante moved through the snowstorm.

According to the contract, every single member of the cult was to be killed.

Those who have gained power through dishonest means will have to sacrifice their souls.

The messenger’s words came to mind.

The members of Vigilante were motivated solely by revenge.

The sin of dragging in family, acquaintances, and loved ones through false instigation.

To atone for that sin, I started hunting again today.

Similar times.

Hwanung and his party arrived at the place where the climber’s traces were cut off.

It was a place that required quite a bit of entry into the canyon area, and it was definitely the perfect place for an ambush.

Was it really necessary to farm in a place like this?

There must have been a reason.

Mihyeon and Jaina came out, surrounded by pure white snowflakes near Jeongsu-ri.

“There are some traces. Let’s take a look.”

“I will look into it too.”

Among Action’s skills, there was a skill called [Tracking and Searching].

If psychometry is the use of supernatural powers to read memories, tracking and tracing are closer to inferring future events using current information.

In the game, it was implemented to be used in labyrinth maps or against stealth bosses.

“hmm…….”

“Those covered in snow and those wearing black hoods are rushing in. Other than that… … it’s too blurry to see.”

“Certainly, there are traces that match the attack patterns of the monsters summoned by the boss. And it seems that the attacks were made by assassin-type climbers, snipers, and sword-wielding climbers.”

“Are there any victims from other families besides the religious sect?”

Hwanung asks if there are any pure climbers, other than those who have been involved in both religious and family lines, just like in the previous Lee Yong-chan incident.

Among the families that followed, two raised their hands.

“He was not a member of the cult, and yet he went missing. However… … it is presumed that he had frequent contact with members of the cult.”

“I think I have a similar case.”

“It’s a boss monster… … .”

I somehow had a feeling that Hwanung would have some kind of connection to the boss monster.

At that moment, Jaina, who had been investigating for a while, approached Hwanung while holding her throbbing head.

What scene did she see that made her feel so distressed?

Hwanung and the others looked at her lips with concentration.

“Bring… … sacrifices to the altar. The Guardians of Destruction… … will offer up their souls… ….”

“Guardians of Destruction?”

“Ha, somehow… … .”

There’s no way that could just happen.

I wonder if it’s not just an illusion that I feel like I’m going back and forth and getting my heart broken?

Hwanung realized that the situation was more serious than he thought.

Not only did it mean that the missing people would return, it also meant that there was a possibility that similar victims would occur in the future.

The number of climbers coming to the Fujisan level was not large.

The problem is that this is a major supplier that regularly supplies the lux needed throughout Japan.

If these incidents continue and people continue to die… … ?

“I guess it’s time to defeat the boss I haven’t been able to defeat for a while.”

“Yes, I too… … I think so. If things continue like this, the number of victims will continue to increase.”

“but…….”

Someone said so.

When I turned around, I saw the head of the household I had seen at the meeting with the previous commander-in-chief with a glum expression on his face.

He continued speaking in a whiny tone.

“If I kill the boss, the monsters won’t come out. Our family’s main source of looks will disappear, so can I really kill them?”

“That’s right. Couldn’t they have hidden the fact that they were members of the cult from the beginning?”

“What did you say!?”

Conflicts began to arise.

A rift that occurs because the family’s reputation is at stake.

The heads of the households in question began to get very angry and upset at the suggestion that they might be part of the religious order.

“Stop talking nonsense! Could it be that your family is using you as a kamikaze to tarnish their image!?”

“Oh my! You have to be good at distinguishing between what you should and cannot say! What era is this-!”

“We must catch the boss to prevent further sacrifices!”

“No! I’m totally against it! Give me the appropriate compensation!”

There was no chaos.

Yes, family honor is very important.

And the supply of Lux was also a major issue.

But above all else, isn’t there human life, the soul?

Hwanung had such thoughts and decided to do whatever his heart led him to do.

Because I thought that preventing [destruction] was the priority, regardless of ideology.

Bad feelings always come true, and Hwanung was having a very strong feeling right now.

“Ayes.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Please help direct traffic.”

“All right.”

Kwarrrrrrrr-!

Ayas swung his sword lightly.

Then a storm of pure white wind arose, drowning out everyone’s voices.

In an instant, weapons were drawn and the climbers following the lords immediately entered a combat stance.

Action was watching the situation unfold, and the commander-in-chief seemed indifferent, but the corners of his mouth and eyes could be seen trembling.

A situation that was imminent. In the midst of silence, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of Eyasu’s sword being drawn.

“His Majesty has something to say.”

“How rude… … .”

“You are the ones committing the rudeness. You came all the way here just to get your spoon in… … and now you are talking without even knowing the topic.”

“… … .”

The heads of the household were silenced by the chilling words of Eyasu.

Because the anticipation and life-affirming spirit she exuded was not ordinary.

I had the illusion that the snowstorm hitting my body was cutting into me like a knife.

Just looking into the eyes of the female warrior who claimed to be my bodyguard made me feel like my skin was going to get cut.

Ayas released the tension he had been holding onto and bowed his head to Hwanung.

More attention was focused on the Japanese people’s provocative actions.

“The boss will take care of it. We can’t let innocent people be sacrificed because of those idiots who leave behind the sparks of disaster.”

“however…….”

“There must have been cases like that in Japan, too. So it caused enormous damage to neighboring countries. Isn’t that right?”

“Ahem… … . That, that was a long time ago… … .”

“This is a more serious issue. Are you going to let a disaster happen for profit? If a real disaster happens, how are you going to pay for the recovery?”

Everyone was speechless at Hwanung’s words.

If you think about it, it was true.

Wheein-.

I heard a small propeller sound.

As the conflict began, Mihyeon had already activated the drone.

Hwanung thought that one thing was incredibly well done and spoke bluntly.

“If you don’t want to do it, then leave. Or you can take the last look from behind. Action, didn’t you say you could command the commander?”

“Yes, your honor.”

“What do you think?”

Action bowed his head and answered immediately.

Her actions were very natural and seemed to come from the heart.

“I think that is a reasonable point. Ma… … No, your Majesty. I will give the order myself.”

“thank you.”

“Captain, give the order to the lords. We must go and subdue the boss.”

“Okay, I understand!”

The commander-in-chief gave the order.

The family followed him, so it was only natural that they would follow his orders.

In the end, the Japanese climbing community, where the culture of “if you do it right, then do it right” still exists, leaned toward following the commander-in-chief’s orders.

Of course, there are those who are treated unfairly.

There will be those who suffer huge losses.

But still, the most important thing is humans.

Humans are the driving force behind all of this.

“If the messenger intervenes, I will try my best to negotiate. So, for now, consider eliminating the seeds of disaster as the priority.”

“Phew… … . I guess there’s nothing I can do. Okay.”

“Great! Yes! I’m doing this for the people of the world!”

The atmosphere has changed.

Action looked at Hwanung with strange eyes.

Hwanung turned around and walked away, just like a commander leading the people of the world.

Action followed him without realizing it.

The church members also naturally followed suit.

After passing through the canyon area, you will come across an altar with a boss.

And from here on, it was a section where you had to fight numerous monsters.

“That’s good. I was just trying to get used to it.”

Gulp, gulp.

Galion warmed up his body by drinking a pouch of water mixed with potion and alcohol.

He took the lead to complete the final quest.

At the end of the canyon, those covered in ice came rushing in.

and-.

[External forces intervene.]

[The Guardians of Destruction enter the tower.]

Phagejik-.

The space opened up and a familiar voice was heard.

No, I should say it’s annoying.

“Hello, are you okay?”

“Little one… …?”

“Kid!? Are you going to die?”

Every time I saw him, a little kid I didn’t like appeared.

It didn’t end there.

“Master, over the canyon!”

“Those are… … .”

At the top of the canyon.

Dark shadows were visible in places that were difficult to see because of the fog and snowstorm.

Are those the guys that go around stabbing people?

Hwanung smirked as he saw enemies appearing from three directions.

“It looks like you prepared it very openly.”

“Prepare for battle.”

“Nice to meet you-! You little shits-!”

The roar of the galleon echoed through the canyon.

Now that I’ve met the guys I wanted to see again, it’s time to get down and do some serious axe dancing.
