Episode 218 – Still, We Can’t Avoid Conflict

A huge scar appeared in the dense forest.

The appearance of nature itself scratching away was clearly engraved.

Taekyung looked at that sight and laughed in vain.

“I should report this to Mirin.”

Originally, he believed that he could subdue Hwanung if he put his mind to it.

His ability score of over 90 makes him stand out as the best climber, and his natural sense makes him a strong player in other worlds as well.

But here again I felt a wall.

Hwanung’s summoned beast, a woman with silver hair.

When I fought him before, I thought he was one level below me, but now… … .

When I turned my eyes, I saw Matthias with one arm blown off, half of his torso gone, and everything below his knees gone.

“Coolook! Now… …our plans will be pushed back a lot.”

“The will, is that the end?”

“What excuses does a loser need…? But, remember this….”

Matthias spoke in a cracking voice.

His fading life burned its last spark to provide a clue.

“Remember, the Goddess… … is never a good being… … .”

Crunch-.

A sword made from dragon bone struck Matthias’ neck.

With this, one of the suddenly appearing strong enemies lost his life.

Hwanung remembered his last words and felt something.

‘The soul… … .’

Matthias’ soul being sucked somewhere.

Hwanung had a gut feeling.

I think I’ll be able to hear his story in detail someday.

The son-in-law became quiet.

After the great battle, it was time for everyone to catch their breath.

The one who broke the silence was Taekyung who suddenly barged in.

He looked at Hwanung and said.

“I’m going to go now.”

“Mr. Taekyung, are you still thinking of being hostile to the religious order?”

“Yes. That won’t change. That’s why I founded Vigilante.”

Hwanung clenched his fists and tried to persuade him.

I knew his will was firm.

But, there might still be some possibility.

“From now on, it’s really about killing people. I know I’m not qualified to say this, but we’re all the same people.”

“It’s okay. I was already prepared for this… … .”

“I see. Then I have no right to stop it either.”

Taekyung gave her a look of gratitude for her understanding.

These are people entangled in complex emotions.

Since it wasn’t a matter of who was right and who was wrong, we couldn’t say anything to each other.

Hwanung bowed his head to Taekyung and expressed his gratitude for the help he had received today.

No matter how angry he was, he still got help.

“I was so grateful today. I really thought I was going to die.”

“Please help me out next time.”

“Okay. As long as it doesn’t involve killing people, I’ll be happy to help.”

“I don’t want to pass on my personal problems to Hwanung either. But… … .”

There will come a day when we will collide with each other.

The two felt it instinctively.

The path each of us walks will not be smooth, and there will be numerous conflicts.

There is no ill will, but there will come a day when we point weapons at each other.

The two people endured everything and said goodbye.

Taekyung will gather his scattered comrades and unite to confront the religious group.

Hwanung decided to think of humanity itself first.

“Narae, are you okay?”

“Yes, my lord. I am fine.”

“That’s fortunate, but… … . Should I have prepared better?”

“You speak so feebly, unlike your lord. There is nothing wrong with you, lord. If there is any fault, it would be our own.”

At the point where they were already given another chance, they felt they had received a favor they could never repay.

I don’t think it’s right to blame Hwanung, nor should I blame him.

Narae put away her sword and knelt on one knee before Hwanung.

“No matter what happens, I will make sure that they cannot touch you. The girl, and… … my comrades. Now, the most important thing to me and them… … is you.”

“It feels really reassuring when you say it like that.”

“It is a natural thing, and it is a feeling that must be expressed without hiding. I will continue to work hard, and even if a stronger enemy comes, I will never… … be defeated.”

Hwanung placed his hand on Narae’s shoulder.

Affection and loyalty that can be felt clearly.

I thought about whether I knew that I was burdening Na-rae too much by being immersed in those feelings.

“Don’t worry too much. Let’s have fun and have fun like we’ve always done.”

“yes.”

She smiled brightly.

Hwanung also smiled brightly.

Kwaaaaang-!

Nidhogg was having a blast meeting his long-awaited match.

A swordsman with blue scales.

Because she too had the power of a dragon.

“Hahahaha-! This is funny! Come at me more!”

“Hey kid, confidence is-!”

Force and force collided, sending out a huge shockwave.

The wave pushed everything away, scorching the surrounding area.

They formed a zone of power that no one dared approach, and the two beings poured out their strength without restraint.

Nidhogg was feeling the best cat he had in a long time.

There were few who could receive his power, and it had been a long time since he had fought against his own kind.

“Hehehehe! It’s nice that you’re hot, unlike that annoying knight guy! Then, as a gift, my true form-!?”

“What the heck, Kimpa-gee-ji.”

Nidhogg paused.

He looked in the direction where Matthias had been.

A fierce clash of mana and the loss of one mana… … .

He clicked his tongue.

“I guess we’ll stop here for today. Wow, he lost?”

“You’re running away? Do you think you can run away!?”

“Sorry, let’s meet again later!”

[The Howling Cauldron]

[Transports the target to a safe space.]

[Available only once a week.]

Dismissed-!

Nidhogg’s body disintegrated in an instant.

Where are you going!?

Mirai swung her sword at a speed approaching the speed of sound, but her attacks merely cut through the air.

[Please dispose of your trash properly! Sorry!]

“These rotten guys… … .”

You came in without permission, released a bunch of monsters, and then you just left without even concluding the fight?

She looked up at the sky.

The gate appears to be already closed.

“Is Hwanung okay?”

The first thought that came to mind was Hwanung’s safety.

With such a powerful guy attached to him, could he handle it?

If the monstrous enemy disappeared so quickly, it must have been defeated or retreated as well.

It hasn’t even been an hour, let alone three.

“Chairman! Are you okay!?”

“Oh, I’m fine.”

“It looks like the enemy has run away.”

“There are a lot of remnants here and there. Let’s deal with them quickly.”

Because I threw away a lot of trash.

There are people who clean up and people who throw things away!

They gritted their teeth and each went their separate ways.

“Weaker climbers might have been swept away… … .”

The future looked around and decided to do some scouting first.

That was when.

As the surroundings brightened, a message from the system was heard.

[The error has been fixed.]

[The messengers will now intervene.]

“Ha! These kids are so slow at work!”

Crackle! Crackle!

A messenger intervened to clear the debris.

Mirae looked at the messengers appearing from beyond the gate and took hold of her sword.

Please, let there be no needless sacrifices… … .

I sincerely hope that no one dies from the uncontrollable disaster.

Her body flew up.

“It seems the messenger arrived sooner than expected.”

“It’s probably because the key members disappeared.”

“What are you going to do about this?”

Matthias’ armor and sword remain.

Hwanung checked the information on the two items.

It was definitely a great item.

[Sword of the Fallen Saint]

[All abilities +5]

[Skill: Can use Moonlight]

[Dalgarum: A fatal blow that can cut the moon]

[You can blow away the user’s mana, aura, etc. with a long-range strike.]

[Receives mana + highest ability bonus.]

[Fragment of the Fallen Saint’s Armor]

[It is a material for excellent armor.]

“Let’s pack it up for now.”

“All right.”

Hwanung put two items into the subspace.

Perhaps the items you get here can be taken back to reality.

This will most likely be included among the many benefits.

And then another weapon caught my eye.

It was a giant axe that still maintained its shape even in this chaos.

Hwanung tried to approach and listen, but it did not move at all.

“Wow, this is really heavy?”

“I’ll move it. You said Orc? It looks like the strongest one is holding it… … .”

[Chief’s Symbol: Thunder Axe]

[Symbol of the Chieftain who leads the Orcs]

[Strength +3] [Stamina +2]

[Never breaks]

“It’s pretty useful. I don’t think it’ll fit into my subspace.”

“Then I will carry it.”

It was a weight that could not be moved by Hwanung’s avatar, who had strength and stamina of 10.

This was also the reason why he was kicked out of Sherpa.

For no reason, bad memories come to mind again.

Hwanung smiled and nodded.

The two men decided that they had to do something about the approaching enemies.

Although Matthias and Nidhogg seemed to have disappeared, the army that had flown in from beyond the gate was still intact.

At that moment, the gate opened and Ravi jumped out.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. I almost died, but I’m okay.”

“That’s really fortunate. I didn’t know… …that the administrator of another universe would intervene.”

“Space, Administrator… … There’s so much I don’t know.”

Ravi bowed his head.

Then he swung the weapon he was holding once.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaah-!

A storm similar in size to the one Narae had created swept through the area.

The storm of mana surrounding them made it impossible for anything to approach.

“Now that the game really starts, you’ll know. And… … you’ve achieved transcendence faster than I thought.”

“If it weren’t for Narae, I would have died.”

“Congratulations. This will be compensated at the administrator level.”

It was fortunate that there was adequate compensation.

There were many times when I felt sorry for not being able to receive proper compensation even after suffering injustice.

The messenger and the game are quite fair in this respect.

“You have to stay here for a week, right?”

“That’s true. Rules are rules, after all.”

“Well… let’s say that’s true.”

24 hours.

But I have to survive for almost a day with just Na-rae and my new summons… … .

Somehow I didn’t feel anxious.

Hwanung watched Ravi clean and decided to move the location to achieve the purpose of this training.

“Let’s go meet the orc.”

“Understood, my lord.”

They didn’t know.

What kind of waves will the axe that Na-rae is holding without thinking bring?

The two walked towards the orc while chatting away.

Anyway, the game must go on.
