Returned as a Transcendent Genius Summoner - Chapter 252
Only Noblemtl
Episode 252 – Each person’s story
These days, a rule has emerged among church members.
A rule that was created as the number of victims in the Amazon continued to increase, even though no one taught it.
Never go near a campfire in an Amazon training camp.
Because there were only black hooded reapers and hostile orcs there.
This is a place where sparks are flying and the crackling sound of burning wood can be heard.
It was also to avoid people sitting around the campfire and chatting.
“I guess I missed it after all.”
“That’s right. I told you not to pretend to be a summoner. That’s why I just came.”
“With our current strength, we can’t defeat the Summoner. Some time has passed, so he must have gotten stronger.”
Tae-kyung, who was organizing firewood with a fire starter, said bluntly.
In the end, is this how it’s going to go?
His hatred continued to burn fiercely, but for some reason, he seemed to be hesitating these days because of the existence of Hwanung.
He has no connection with the church, so why on earth…?
Whenever I think of Tae-yi leaving the house with a smile on his face, my heart aches.
I will definitely ask the higher-ups in the church.
Why did they coax such a bright child into death?
“Huh? What is that?”
“What is it?”
Today was an unusually cloudy night.
A night where you can’t see the moonlight or even the stars.
Moreover, it seems that someone discovered something even in an environment where the sky cannot be seen properly because it is obscured by lush trees.
I looked up and saw a will-o’-the-wisps passing the path they were guarding.
For a moment, Taekyung felt the energy of a woman he had met only once.
A knight in armor who came from another world and rushed at Hwanung.
Narae, the woman who mercilessly cut down that article.
‘no way……?’
Because his senses were so sharp that he could never be wrong.
As expected, there was no time to linger here.
He jumped up from his seat and turned off the lights in the room, saying:
“Move quickly, quickly.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“I forgot that those guys, unlike us, can fly.”
Taekyung kicked the chair and headed towards the place where the original church was located.
There was a space that they couldn’t open with their own strength for some reason.
It was clear they were headed there.
‘But, did Hwanung and the religious order have such a close relationship?’
It probably wasn’t like that originally.
Taekyung quickly walked forward, thinking that he had to meet her in person and ask her.
And Narae, who noticed their movement in the sky, opened her mouth.
“My lord, I think I’ve been caught.”
“Let’s go quickly and secure the position first.”
“I confirmed that the man you mentioned was also present.”
This is giving me a headache.
Hwanung frowned and began to think about what to do.
It seems like things won’t go smoothly, so I’ll have to prepare thoroughly.
If it’s too late, I’ll have to think about subduing them all or contacting Sirga separately.
‘Oh my, it’s hard to meet someone.’
I couldn’t help but sigh at how difficult it was to meet.
Somewhere in the Amazon.
Hwanung arrived at the promised place and discovered a small door exposed on the floor.
Is this the place Sirga was talking about?
Helen said that they were originally guarding this place.
“But we were forced to retreat when the Vigilantes made their surprise attack. If it weren’t for the orcs, we would have been annihilated.”
“I don’t even know why it’s there, and I don’t know what it has to do with me.”
“That… … Perhaps Sirga-sama will tell you?”
That would be true too.
Hwanung recalled the appearance of Sirga and summoned his beasts.
Dismissal-.
The subspace opened and numerous summoned creatures appeared.
“It’s been a while, Hwanung.”
“That’s right.”
At that time, Hwanung looked at the figures approaching him.
They were of various heights, and all radiated powerful energy.
They say an expert recognizes an expert.
Gil Tae-rang, who leads the Musadan, opened his mouth.
“Each and every one of them is on par with me. The author in particular… … seems to be on a similar level to Na-rae, Master.”
“Are you talking about Taekyung?”
“I don’t know his name, but he is definitely a superior warrior than me.”
Hearing it directly from the man who earned the title of Sword Master, Taekyung’s strength seemed even more realistic.
Indeed, it is indeed strong.
At that moment, Iolkern, who had been staring blankly at Taekyung, suddenly opened his mouth.
“What are you doing here, Swordsman?”
“Hwanung, I need to give the summoned beast some training.”
“Haha… … . Can I teach you? But, what do you mean?”
“The author’s soul belongs to the swordsman. Eeeeeeeee, it’s strange to rebel against the Master, and it’s also a little twisted… … .”
Everyone raised a question mark above their heads at the unknown sound.
Hwanung pressed him to explain a little more, and Iolkern pointed to Taegyeong and explained again very kindly.
In short, Taekyung’s soul is of a very high standard.
“Do you remember the swordsman Lee Tae-kyung?”
“I remember. Surely-.”
“That soul’s previous life must be the author right there.”
Hwanung nodded quietly and heavily.
Was that what Avatar was like?
I also realized why each person has a set avatar, and why they don’t all start at the same point like game characters.
The messenger didn’t even say anything like that.
“Mr. Taekyung, how about you listen to what I have to say first and then decide what to do next?”
“There’s nothing to hear, Captain. Our motto is to use any means necessary to achieve our goal.”
“Listen first and then decide. Everyone, prepare for battle.”
Srrrrrrung-.
The Vigilante members drew their weapons.
A critical situation.
Hwanung instinctively felt that he had to choose carefully what to say next.
Not for my own safety, but for theirs.
Because there were people like Na-rae and Lucas who gave off a sharp murderous aura as if they were going to rush in at any moment.
I think they felt it too, so they didn’t seem to be making a fuss and rushing in rashly.
“I’m going to see your brother.”
“My brother is dead. You know that.”
“I know the one who rules over those dead souls. I plan to meet her there and try to talk to her somehow.”
“… … .”
It’s a story that Tae-kyung, who lives in the real world, simply cannot understand.
However, for Hwanung, who had already experienced things beyond reality, it was something he could naturally bring up.
Surprisingly, it was the other members of Vigilante who responded to his words.
“Really, you can meet the King of the Dead?”
“Captain, the author… … Are you truly worthy of being a king?”
“I don’t know. But… … I’m sure it’s not ordinary.”
“No, no, we have to get this straight. If we have the dignity of a king… … it’s all useless. We’ll just end up dying.”
What the hell is that, yeah?
Taekyung’s expression crumpled without warning.
Because I feel so suffocated, the emotions are revealed even more clearly.
Hwanung seemed to know his mind, so he spoke calmly.
“I’m going to meet the King of the Dead and make it clear what happened and what needs to be cut out. So… … please wait a moment.”
“Why should I believe that?”
Tae-kyung did not give up his suspicions and hostility until the end, but the atmosphere changed as another voice was heard.
It was a voice that was very familiar to Hwanung, but was so unfamiliar and sacred to others.
“You better believe it. He is the descendant of the Sword God. He is a very special person, the one who will lead this place in the future, and our savior.”
Everyone turned their heads toward the direction where the sound came from.
A white garment with gold thread embroidered on it.
Long hair that trails down to the floor.
A figure that is neither male nor female, and a voice that is neither male nor female.
[Six Stars, Brilliant Sirga] appeared.
The alertness has been heightened.
On the contrary, the church members welcomed him with joy.
Sirga’s colorful eyes turned towards Hwanung.
Sirga stared at him for a moment, then slowly and deeply bowed her head.
The sounds that came out of his mouth were joy and praise.
Everyone looked at Hwanung with such respect that they wondered what he was doing.
“It’s been a long time, Master. We have been laying the groundwork, waiting for your return.”
“It’s been a while.”
Hwanung’s words came out of his mouth naturally.
Sirga was one of those who had welcomed him from the top along with Ardor in his dream.
We finally met.
My elite.
“Although we have not met in person, I have worked day and night for you.”
“Is there Ardor too?”
“Unfortunately, you will have to summon the seven stars yourself. They too will be waiting in the Sea of ??Souls.”
“Wait a minute! Things seem to be going a little strange-.”
Tae-kyung was flustered by the urgent situation and demanded a detailed explanation.
The Kyodan, Taei, the King, and Hwanung… … .
All of this information seemed to pour water on the blind hatred he harbored.
Sirga spoke while looking at Taekyung.
“You are the saint’s brother. Her fate has become unfortunate, but don’t worry. I was trying to find a way to revive her.”
“… …Is that true?”
“Yes. I haven’t been able to check because I’ve been busy with construction, but there seems to be a mole hiding in our church as well. I’m thinking of heading to Korea.”
“That means… … .”
Sirga brought up a name that sounded familiar.
Hwanung and Taekyung knew this well.
“Philip. His real name is Sergei Pilanens. I need to find him and ask him something.”
“By any chance, did he betray… … ?”
“That’s right. Only information coming from Korea was blocked. It was so clever that it took a long time for me to notice anything strange.”
Philip.
I realized that he was the mastermind behind this situation.
Crack-!
Sirga livened up the atmosphere again with loud applause.
“First, there are things I want to show you in this hall. If you want, you can come in too, you who possess the soul of a swordsman.”
“… … .”
Taekyung was worried.
What if all of this is a fraud by Hwanung and the religious order?
If that happens, will it be possible to repair the broken spirit?
A vague fear made him agonize over his choice.
Surprisingly, it was the Vigilante members who made him take action despite his hesitation.
Those who promised to help me once my work was done.
One by one, they placed their hands on Taekyung’s shoulders.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”
“It’s scary enough that you wanted to fight a person like that, but you’re even going to refuse? If you do that, we’ll never be able to do anything.”
“you…….”
“No matter what the circumstances, we trusted you and decided to help you. The person who had the solution reached out, and there was no way we could stop him.”
Taekyung looked at the members whose attitudes had suddenly changed.
If they tell the truth, and everything works out smoothly… … .
‘Taeiya.’
He opened his mouth, thinking of his younger brother.
