Episode 67: Continuation of Waves (2)

[To: Daphne

This is Priya from Messiah.

It seems like you don’t check your emails at all, so I’m leaving a message through the dedicated manager.

You must have seen the ability I showed you, but I didn’t think you would turn a deaf ear to my words. Even if you took over 〈Laurel〉, what you would gain would be minimal.

This wave was prepared directly by 〈Messiah〉 as revenge for that. I hope you enjoy it.

If Daphne wants, there will be another opportunity to talk properly with me at any time. I hope you make a choice you won’t regret.

I respect you.

From: Priya]

‘When did you say the whole world owes me? And thank you?’

And now that you’re feeling a little shaky, you’re giving me three S-class waves as a gift.

Suji gritted her teeth.

No matter how much she thought about it, the ability to artificially create waves was too annoying.

Even if some crazy author had such an ability, it would be hard to actually put it into practice, but seeing Priya made me realize that there are many crazy people in the world.

She put on her ring and asked,

“Can you hear me?” He

was glad that Soo-ji had called the ‘great beings’ first, and he answered right away. – Why are you looking for me in the first place? “Something about that bet with that being called The Lord. That thing.” – Right. “Didn’t you say that there were so many restrictions on that bet?” – So? Unlike Soo-ji, who was flying around frantically because she had to block the wave right away, the guy’s voice was incredibly calm. Soo-ji gritted her teeth and asked, “But why is there a human who can freely control an S-class wave? Did you give him this ability just because he conquered the Laurel Tree? No, isn’t it too different from the reward I received?” – Huh? There’s such a human? Contrary to her expectations, Soo-ji quickly pressed for an answer at his blank reaction. “Come to your senses. When did you tell me that if I didn’t climb the tower right away, I wouldn’t win the bet? What if I didn’t know anything about these adverse conditions?” – Wait. Wait. Ah, I get what you’re talking about. You’re talking about the waves that just appeared. No. “What?” – No. They weren’t personally created by humans. “… … What are you talking about? Tell me so I can understand.” The guy hesitated for a moment as if he was embarrassed and continued. – It’s true that I gave you a lot this time. I even created status elements that didn’t exist before. “So?” – So the other side just slyly stirred things up to balance things out. The other side. Soo-ji narrowed her eyes and recalled the name she’d heard at Laurel Tree. The monster that clearly had a huge mouth sticking out as if it would swallow the sky had called itself Messiah. It was a bet where one side would protect the Earth and the other side would destroy it. “To put it simply, the dungeons and towers are prepared by the ‘Great Beings’ side, and the waves are prepared by The Lord side?” – Well, that’s it. Their structure began to form in my head little by little. “… … I’m going crazy.” But I understood. If you say that since they gave away the benefits, there are also losses. In any case, the weapons I got this time were a huge benefit. If it can be solved with three waves, then of course the weapons would be the gain. But. There was still something that bothered me. “Then let me ask one more question. The 〈Messiah〉. The 〈Messiah〉 that humans believe in and follow.” – Huh? “That 〈Messiah〉 is a monster under the Lord, right?” – Hahaha. If the 〈Messiah〉’s followers can get involved in the waves, then that must be the structure. Soo-ji frowned. She really hated talking ambiguously like that. “Are you saying that it is true or that it isn’t?” – I told you, there are limits to providing information. She sighed. When I saw someone who was desperate to say something say this, it seemed like there really was something he couldn’t say. She was getting the gist of it. I didn’t hear a definitive answer, but no matter how much I thought about it, my hypothesis seemed to be correct. ‘… … If the monster that Priya is so blindly believing in is the one that appears during the second wave.’ It would be unbelievable.

After seeing the same video as me, did you think you should follow that monster bastard to save your life a little longer?

Seriously, what are you thinking?

I thought “Messiah” was some kind of cult, but it was worse than I thought.

No matter how much I tried to look at it in a positive light, Priya, who openly said that she summoned the wave, didn’t seem to be in her right mind.

At that moment, the unicorn flapped its wings and weaved between the helicopters that the government officials had arrived in. Looking at the military helicopters standing on either side of her, she realized that they had almost reached the wave point.

Watching the government officials who had found Suzy cling to the windows and salute, she greeted them and looked around.

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

The peaceful and beautiful Hallasan Mountain trail was filled with an alarm that strongly advised people to evacuate, so loud that it was painful to the ears.

‘Judging by recent trends, it would naturally deviate from the predicted point.’

That was what really annoyed me.

Usually, if it was AA-level or higher, the civil servants who were on standby at the scene would surround it, but since it was coming out of a strange place, she was worried that there might be innocent civilian casualties.

Suzy was looking around on the back of the unicorn and paying the utmost attention.

At that moment, she saw the air rippling near the valley where the cherry trees were gathered in the distance.

‘I thought the tower was the place to launch the new soft weapon. I’m going to test it in a strange place.’

Suzy instructed the unicorn to land slowly and jumped off her back.

“Daphne!”

“Gasp… …!”

The helicopter hovering around her had civil servants who opened their doors and looked down. They must have been quite surprised to see Suzy, so she let out a small scream.

Suzy didn’t care and fell from the air, taking out the “(White Hot) Shackles of the Dead” and fixing it.

There was so much work to do right now, and she didn’t want to get caught up in something so useless. She planned to finish it off in an instant and go back.

“No, why do I have to go through all this trouble when they’re betting?”

She muttered complaints that didn’t sound tense at all as she lunged at the monster.

At the entrance to the wave, two foxes with countless legs were wriggling.

I had already met them at the top.

[〈Poisoned Female Fox〉 S

– They act as a male and female pair, and can inject venom through two of their 177 pairs of legs.

Strength 399, Stamina 79,999

, Abnormal Status: Poisoning]

[〈Poisoned Male Fox〉 AAA

– They act as a male and female pair, and can inject venom through the leg on their first torso.

Strength 387, Stamina 30,510,

Abnormal Status: Poisoning]

The only difference from when they met at the top was that they were now inflicted with an abnormal status.

“They were really bad when we first met, but they’re really bad now that we’re meeting them again in the beautiful nature of Jeju Island.”

She was sincere.

The Tower of the Sage was originally gloomy, so it was expected that anything would happen there. But in such a clean place, how could there be a giant raccoon monster that was friendly with both males and females?

Suji took out the item “Wings of Justice” from her inventory with one hand and equipped it, while simultaneously stabbing her sword.

Her speed, which had been shooting down as if falling, suddenly decreased, and her characteristics were manifested.

[Trait “Declaration of Death” is activated. Within a 40m radius, the characteristic “Thunderstorm” is activated,

which applies the abnormal status “Fear” to monsters of AAA or lower with a 20% probability . The characteristic “Eat Poison” is activated, which applies the abnormal status “Fear” to one S-class or lower monster within sight with a 12% probability . The characteristic “Death from Poisoning” is activated , which deals 30 continuous damage per second until 50% of HP remains, to monsters of AAA or lower with a “Poison” status within a 10m radius with a 10% probability . [0.5% chance of applying ‘Instant Death’ to AAA-rank or lower ‘Poisoned’ status monsters within sight] “Stop it, you raccoons. I can’t play with you forever.” With that leisurely whisper, over 100 of the 354 legs of the “Female King Raccoon” flew away at the same time, and “I have to broadcast, huh?” With an angry whisper, the poisonous legs were cut off, and with an angry rebuke, “I gave up playing in the hammock and crawled out, and now I have to deal with you guys?”, its torso was torn into several pieces. Suzy landed on the ground and lightly swung her rapier with a satisfied expression. It had definitely become stronger and more precise.

It was refreshing to see the despair that had been blocking her from getting a better weapon than what she had now peel off.

The Wings of Justice were an item that could only sustain her for six minutes, but it was more than enough for Suzy to clear out all the monsters in that short time.

There were also a few small A-class fox monsters, but the officials were able to deal with them sufficiently. As

Suzy folded her wings and completely landed on the ground, the officials who had lost their work and were focusing on support all saluted at the same time because of her efforts.
