Episode 238 – The Contestants’ Identities

Behemoth, the little horned boy, told Hwanung and Nia and their party various stories.

To conclude, this world also went through a process of destruction similar to the place where I lived.

At the center of it all were none other than magic engineering, machinery, and Lux.

“It’s really similar to us.”

“My heart aches. In the end, we were destroyed without even being able to put up a decent fight.”

“That’s why I’ve risked my soul to gather participants. There’s no longer any grand goal of rebuilding the world. I just… … want to get revenge on those guys.”

A little boy who has nothing left but revenge.

You said you were a guardian?

How heartbreaking it must have been for Behemoth to watch the end of this world he could not protect.

Hwanung held out his hand to him and said.

“I don’t know about anything else, but I will definitely get revenge. That was the request.”

“Go, thank you. I will also believe in you and follow you until the end.”

Behemoth changed his mind about hiding and decided to follow along.

Because I thought it was better to move together actively rather than hiding and nervously following along.

Although it has mediocre combat capabilities, it’s better than nothing.

“I, I would like to follow you around and help you. Is that okay?”

“Of course! Of course! If the guardians of this world don’t protect it, who will?”

“Thank you. I am… … a useless guardian… … .”

“Hey, there’s no such thing. Aren’t you still protecting us like this?”

Nia encouraged Behemoth and gave him a lot of confidence.

Hwanung showed Behemoth the raw stone of Lux that he had brought this time.

To ask what this is.

“Does this feel like it has the same energy as the magic stone?”

“A magic stone. I guess that’s what they call it over there.”

“That’s right. We also gained strength by absorbing this.”

Surprisingly, it was Nia who answered first.

Behemoth then spoke.

“I know it’s the source of magic engineering and the standard for teaching participants. It gives you strength, but if you consume it-.”

“Wait, what did you say?”

“Huh? Gaining strength?”

“No, before that. This substance… … is the standard for teaching participants?”

Behemoth nodded.

And he said in an angry voice.

“The messenger… … doesn’t tell you such things.”

“That means… … .”

Why did Lux ??suddenly come out of the tower?

Why did we become participants without even knowing it?

That was the moment when all my questions were answered.

Hwanung’s expression began to distort little by little.

‘In the end, I guess I dragged you in without permission.’

I felt extremely disappointed.

Ravi… … yeah.

Because Ravi was just a messenger with no affiliation before he sponsored him.

I guess they each stayed true to their roles.

Hwanung thought, gritting his teeth.

I really need to see who the hell created these rules and why they’re doing this.

I made a vow to myself that if anyone gave me an answer I didn’t like in front of that face, I would just smash their head in.

“You don’t see life as life. And they are intelligent beings… … .”

“From their perspective, we were just considered insignificant.”

“It makes me mad to hear that. Are you saying that’s how you’ve been treated all this time?”

Nia snorted, showing her displeasure.

Okay, so what should we do then?

What can we do to stop this game where everyone kills and kills each other to survive?

However, no one was able to open their mouths easily.

Those gathered here may just be victims of someone’s prank.

“Oh right, maybe if we ask the devils, they might give us an answer?”

“To those ignorant people?”

“Yes! They also have a purpose for moving.”

“hmm…….”

Someone said.

They say great inventions start with [maybe… …]

Sometimes, things that start from the most absurd and ridiculous questions and curiosities can change the world.

The next destination has been decided.

Holding her pounding head, Miraiel looked around.

The troops that had been supported by the Predator had all disappeared, and he found himself alone in this desolate and vast land.

The opponent was stronger than expected, and was a breeder of very dangerous creatures.

Above all, I wondered why Lucifer, who had lost his physical body, was there.

“I must inform the archangels.”

An incident that originally started as a minor dispute.

It flowed and flowed until it came here.

He began to struggle and repair his broken wings.

[Recovery Protocol]

[Use the nearby Rubinos soldiers to repair the broken parts.]

I sacrificed a few chunks of scrap metal to replace the broken wing parts.

It wasn’t completely restored, but it was good enough to move around.

Just as he was about to take off.

“There you are. You dirty angel.”

“What the hell.”

The demon archduke appeared, riding a huge warhorse and holding a lance.

The space was filled with densely packed demonic forces.

Miraiel slowly looked around with a defeated expression.

‘Fortunately, I can hear the soldiers nearby.’

If you fly a little further, Rubinos’ forces will support you.

Miraiel believed it and tried to spread her wings.

Phagecic-!

However, red sparks flew from his wings and he did not move as he would have liked.

“Ugh!?”

[Foolish. Don’t forget your role.]

“Wh, what are you talking about! Great spirit-!”

An inorganic voice in my head.

The wings he gave her began to restrict her actions without her permission, and she was soon sentenced to a terrible end.

[You are a book that will be used in preparation for the coming rebellion, so fulfill your mission.]

“Kuaaaak!?”

“Hey, why is it like that?”

Drooping wings and the body of an angel.

Soon, when Miraiel raised her head again, she had become a killing machine with glowing red eyes.

A machine that has no instructions and just moves on command.

In his battle with the demon, he will extract more information.

The end of the one who plucked out his noble feather wings and replaced them with wings of steel was quite gruesome.

The demons also began to get excited when they saw that his mood had changed significantly.

battle!

They were beings who lived only for battle and slaughter, so they did not care about life at all.

“Hehehe, good! My legion! Kill that crazy angel-!”

Their commander, Gap, ordered them to claim the merit again.

Kiyaaaaah!

The cries of demons raced across the battlefield.

This is the world occupied by Rubinos.

It was also a world where battles occurred constantly.

Hwanung drew his summoner and summoned Epsilon.

Epsilon, who had become a 4-star character, looked even more solid and mature.

He knelt on one knee and waited for Hwanung’s command.

“Just give the orders, Master.”

“I have a few questions.”

“Yes. I will answer honestly.”

Hwanung thought about what had happened in the Pestis Saga.

Yes, there were definitely goods there that were necessary for character growth.

Was it a [mysterious decision]?

“Remember the mysterious decision?”

“Yes. I remember.”

“Then, do you remember this too?”

Hwanung took out one of the Luxes from his inventory and showed it to Epsilon.

Epsilon looked at it for a moment, then nodded without hesitation.

“Yes. It is a mysterious crystal. If you absorb it, you can gain power. I thought it was only available on the other side, where it has already disappeared, but I am surprised that it can be found here as well.”

“… … .”

This makes it certain.

Maybe it has something to do with the church.

Hwanung said he understood and patted Epsilon on the shoulder.

Before Epsilon went to Miho to carry out his mission again, he said these words.

“There may be companions waiting for their master in the Sea of ??Souls. And… … It seems that some have already descended to the surface through [other means].”

“There’s another way… … . Okay.”

After this request was completed, I felt that I had to make sure to contact the church to complete the work.

And Taekyung’s work needs to be wrapped up too.

Because perhaps the entire church might come under his control.

“It’s complicated… … .”

The more I learned, the more entangled things became, and I was at a loss as to where to start and how to untangle them.

But if you keep going step by step, you will eventually see the answer.

One thing to watch out for is the curiosity that tries to dig up things that don’t fit the bill.

‘You should prepare well and rush in. It’s going to be a really dangerous journey from now on.’

Hwanung thought so and quickly headed to the next destination.

It was quite easy to follow the devil’s trail.

Not only does it not hide the traces of magic power, but when moving in large groups, it is inevitable that footprints or traces of weapons will be left behind.

“This horseshoe must be his. We can just keep going like this.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

Surprisingly, after the demons got involved, a leisurely journey awaited them.

The plan was to simply follow where they swept by.

During a brief moment of free time, Gina was walking with Styx for the first time in a long time and having a deep conversation.

Watching Uncle Ilrang and the newly appeared Uncle Hanbaek talk, they too were moved.

“Master, I am looking for the way to the 8th circle. Have you found it?”

“I haven’t found it yet. I just have a vague idea.”

“Na-rae has become the embodiment of the wind. Now, it seems she has become something that transcends human limitations… … Can we do it?”

“Even if the way it is expressed is different, the path pursued may be the same. That’s what I’ve been thinking lately.”

Jinna was lost in thought over Styx’s words.

Wizards often did that.

I forgot the feeling I had when I first learned magic, and from the middle of the process, I became more obsessed with something.

The point at which that tendency appeared was right when I first entered the 6th circle.

They say that when you find what you’ve been searching for so persistently, you’ve finally reached the 7th Circle.

But, what if there is nothing more to find… …?

I was having a hard time finding my way in that situation.

“Why did we learn magic?”

“… … .”

Gina’s question was extremely ordinary, but it was an extremely difficult problem for Styx and Gina, who had already come a long way.

At that moment, Nia, who had been quietly listening to the conversation from the side, spoke.

“Why are you worrying so much? Aren’t wizards originally explorers?”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“Magic is the study of using mana to create miracles, and whether you like it or not, you must have entered magic for a purpose. I was like that too.”

She said, recalling the past.

Nia’s words caused a huge stir in Gina.

The day I first learned magic.

It gave me an opportunity to recall that day.

“Whatever it is, the initial mindset is important. The moment you lose that, you become empty.”

As she said that, Nia quickly moved to Nergo’s side.

The two great magicians looked at each other and smiled at their new research topic.

“We have something to talk about, Master.”

“It’s going to be a fun night for the first time in a while.”

Because scholars’ discussions tend to shine even brighter late at night.

Change has begun for Gina too.
