#275. The Ugly One Should Be Appeased

#Episode 275.

Nine survivors returned.

The survivors’ testimonies were all similar.

They were pioneers of the Al Heimdall City mid-sized company, and they were walking around the ruins of a mysterious city, also known as the Ruins, discovered during the large-scale reclamation process, and conducting surveying work.

Then one day, a powerful archmage suddenly appeared from the sky. But what on earth did the archmage see? He began to fire a spell of incredible power towards the ground where the survey was being done. It was powerful enough to erase the entire ruins from the world.

The earth and sky were turned upside down in an instant. The survivors who were surveying, without even knowing what was happening, were overwhelmed by the magical power unleashed by the Archmage and lost consciousness.

And when I came to my senses at some point, the survivors had been moved to the city’s border, and inside the city, I caught a glimpse of someone’s torn lower body.

Is the Archmage dead? No way… The survivors raised their heads, denying their imaginations.

[ ? ]

Then, a man appeared on the ruins where no one had been. He had lost his reason and his eyes were full of whites, and he stretched out his hands like a monster thirsting for blood.

Kuguguguguguguung—

But fortunately, a terrifying amount of magical power was tightly binding the man on all sides. A state where the magical chains, imbued with powerful magical power, were strongly restricting his actions. It seemed to be the magical power of the great wizard who had first appeared.

[ Was that archmage trying to save us? But what the heck is that guy… Is that a person or a corpse? ]

The white-eyed man who emerged from the ruins was relatively unharmed, despite being bound tightly by great magical power. He only spilled a little blood and drool from his mouth, but that was it.

Didn’t you fight the Archmage?

Creepy—

Just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine. Whether it’s a person or a corpse, isn’t it certain that it’s some kind of ridiculous monster?

The moment they realized that fact, the survivors’ breath stopped.

Even though a terrifying magical power was restraining the man’s actions, the survivors’ feet did not move due to the terrifying presence.

Gurrrrrr!

Just then, the ground beneath my feet began to shake violently.

As if something that shouldn’t stick out is sticking out.

Coincidentally, the shaking ground gave the survivors a moment to catch their breath. Their only option, gasping for breath, was to run away without looking back.

[ Damn it! Moles······Let’s run away for now. ]

The awakened survivors had no time to wonder, and they quickly escaped the ruined city, avoiding the terrifying vibrations beneath their feet.

The survivors had only fled to the safety of a small settlement when they realized something was wrong. Their bodies were covered in bloodstains from the bites and scratches of the corpses. Something must have gone wrong while they were unconscious.

The survivors were frustrated.

[ Amy f*ck, you’re screwed. ]

An employee named Jenkins had his finger on the trigger as he searched for the gun. Then he gritted his teeth and tried to pull the trigger.

Of course, his will was limited to that. He thought it would be better to live on, even as a corpse, than to end his life in vain through suicide. Most of the traitors were like that.

The other survivors collapsed to the ground, their legs giving out. They cried in bewilderment, their bodies torn to pieces. They continued to do so for nearly ten minutes.

however.

···10 minutes···20 minutes···30 minutes.

Strangely, the infection did not progress as time passed. Even the common signs of infection did not appear. Even Jenkins, who was holding a gun and looking for Amy. All nine of them were in the same physical condition.

He’s a corpse, but his condition is better than expected.

[ Oh, is this a dream? ]

So, I just walked back to Al Heimdall City.

Walking with slow steps, blood dripping from the wound.

And when they reached the wall of Al Heimdall City, they had somewhat escaped the series of questionable situations.

Only then did the voice of a man possessed by a thrilling magic reach the survivors’ ears.

【I am the Seventh Seat of Humanity, Cestus Asparov.】

······That’s all for the testimonies of the nine survivors.

A man named Jenkins spoke with a nervous expression.

“I only found out after I got back that the Archmage was the Seventh Seat. Even though we’re pioneers, we don’t go around memorizing the faces of such high-ranking figures······.”

At that moment, Rudolph spoke, pretending to be sharp for no reason.

“Brother, I see that Chiljwa sensed the situation and ran to save those humans, but didn’t he die while trying to save them? Or did he attack knowing he would win, but was stronger than he thought and ended up dying instead?”

It’s a cliché.

Wouldn’t the latter be a little more likely than the former?

The last of the Seven Seats, who felt a huge yoke outside the barrier. The great wizard Karnui fought the corpse, but was defeated in the battle and died instead. The opponent was the Seven Seats of the previous generation who had turned traitor. It is not an entirely impossible story.

“That’s not the point.”

Swish—

I pushed my energy deep into the survivors’ bodies.

The results were as they said. Not even a hint of evil spirit could be felt inside his body. He was a complete human being.

Also, since there was no particular mental manipulation, I wasn’t in a state where I couldn’t tell the difference between dreams and reality. I didn’t even talk nonsense, and I remembered the facts quite accurately.

They are not skilled enough to prevent or ward off corpse infection through their skills, like the level 10 absolute masters of the Extreme Spear Dance. They are average level 5~6, similar to the average human pioneers of the Al Heimdall Corporation or moderate corpse hunters. If they were unmanned, they wouldn’t even be able to properly handle the sword energy.

Survivors undoubtedly escaped infection even after being bitten by the corpse.

This is something that cannot be understood with conventional wisdom.

at last.

We have reached a definitive conclusion that it cannot be explained unless some special force is at work.

“After hearing it, I guess······.”

Professor Ron Cassandra looked at me blankly.

A pioneering site. A strange ruin. And the appearance of a corpse-turned-sage.

I saw the corpses of the Seven Seats and met the survivors to learn the whole story.

It eventually led to a conclusion that had been put aside, as if it were a possibility.

‘Is there really a way to prevent or avoid infection······?’

My first goal is to postpone the destruction of humanity by a few more years.

however.

If there is something that can definitely stop the infection that has not been easily solved by any martial arts, magic, or science so far, how much longer can the Federation delay the destruction of humanity?

It won’t be just a few years, but ten years, wouldn’t it? Could it be possible that someday 20 billion corpses will turn back into humans?

···That’s nonsense.

I blew the absurd leap out of my head.

There was only one thing that was regrettable in the current situation.

“It’s such a hopeful thing, but there are so many customers flocking in.”

That such a great thing is being sought after by such prestigious megacorps.

Despite the chilling momentum of the Al Heimdall tribe, including Isaac······.

There is no guarantee that those blinded by greed will not emerge.

No, based on experience, it is bound to happen.

Even though they had enough force to restrain and suppress the spreading corpses, humanity lost more than 99 percent of their fertile and vast lands to wars and such. Those who greatly contributed to the world turning into hell have already aged or died and been replaced by generations, but where would their genes go in a century?

Countless human greed and desires swirl around. Unless someone steps in and cuts off all their limbs, it will be impossible to control.

“I can’t just pick up the rumors that have already spread······.”

Of course, since it is the corpse that killed Chiljwa, it is only natural to ask for support from other cities when looking at it rationally.

But what if I had trusted the federal government led by Schnauzen Javier? I thought about it in vain, even though I knew it was already a thing of the past.

Anyway, I quickly gathered my thoughts.

The current master of the mysterious city is a wise man who returned as a corpse.

And for some reason, the wise man did not run away, but instead guarded the place, calling it his ‘ruins’. Thanks to that, the situation became ideal for the interests and circumstances of various circles to become entangled like a thicket.

It is not even in my wildest dreams that humanity will unite to defeat the evil corpse and share the rewards fairly.

Bam-

I tapped the scabbard of the sharpened ray of light.

Because I changed my mind in less than an hour.

“Should I have brought that guy Jong-Hoo-Pyo?”

* * *

The faint laughter of a young man.

“Heh heh······”

He was the chairman of the Political Alliance and former member of the Twelve Emperors, Lee Gwang-baek.

The current 5th largest martial arts world market capitalization, Jeongmu Alliance, was created through the merger of Cheongseong and Gongdongjeomchang. They purchased a suitable building in Al Heimdall City.

A heterogeneous race and a human. They have been enemies since ancient times, but if you give them several times the market price, it is not a big deal to empty a building. Megacorp’s financial power is truly enormous, so it is difficult to refuse them, citing old grudges that only old people from several generations ago can sue.

And now, another big shot in the martial arts world stands before them.

“I want to ride on the same boat as Akgado Jeongmu-myeong.”

He who spoke confidently was the head of the Shandong Music Family and a level 9 unmanned musical artist. The Shandong Music Family had produced twelve great singers in the past and also participated in the Ragnarok Restoration War.

A group that is arguably the best in the world in terms of creative techniques.

Due to the nature of the weapon as a spear that is longer than a sword, it shows outstanding stopping power in battles with corpses. There is no weapon as good as a long spear to safely stop the corpses that are rushing in.

“Hmm······Aren’t there also shamans and Dangga?”

“Mudang and Dangga prefer to operate independently and do not join hands with other companies.”

At those words, Lee Gwang-baek looked at the others sitting around him. Under the building where the Jeongmu Alliance was currently located, a tremendous amount of power was gathered, and the leaders of the Jeongmu Alliance and the heads of Megacorps who had shared the same future were all gathered in one place. Everyone seemed to welcome the joining of the Shandong Musicians.

Lee Gwang-baek, the leader and chairman of the political faction, represented the attention of the leaders and readily allowed Akga to join.

“There is no one in the world who does not know the reputation of Akga, so if we join forces, it would be the best. If our political alliance obtains antidotes, antibodies, or other similar free resources… I promise to share them fairly with Akga.”

As he spoke, Lee Gwang-baek’s crooked eyes shone ominously. The members of the political alliance sitting around him soon exchanged cards and tickets with smiling faces.

yet.

Lee Gwang-baek, who had successfully recruited even the Shandong musicians, turned his gaze to the other side. There were people sitting there who were obviously different in their attire. Even if they were the Twelve Emperors, they were people who exuded an aura that could never be underestimated.

Lee Gwang-baek then turned to them and asked them softly.

“What are you going to do now? Have you made a decision?”

Okay then.

“We had no intention of being controlled by a tribe from the beginning. This level of power doesn’t seem so bad.”

Surprisingly, the head of the Brahmin family, Caracal, responded.

This seat was occupied not only by martial arts figures related to the Jeongmu Alliance, but also by high-ranking magicians from the Brahman family, the 4th largest magician in terms of market capitalization.

Simply put, our interests aligned.

Although the power of Jeongmu Alliance was certainly formidable, it was somewhat inferior to the so-called best martial arts organizations such as the Mudang Corporation or Sacheondangga.

That’s why the Jeongmu Alliance members, led by Lee Gwang-baek, found great allies outside of the martial arts world. They were the Brahman family, the Megacorp of the magic world, who had come close to fighting Isaac as soon as they arrived in Al Heimdall.

Seven Seats, Brahmin Karnuy. The Brahmin family was furious at the unprecedented death of their biggest figure.

The noble pride of the wizards was cracked when they faced the arrogant attitude of the elven lord Isaac. However, since they were opponents, they could not just risk their lives and rush out of the wall.

The Jeongmu Alliance led by Lee Gwang-baek needed a powerful force that would not be lacking no matter where it was put, so they joined hands with the Brahman family, the highest level of power in the magic world.

“Whether wise or not, we will definitely kill that undead with our own hands. So there is no need to move with those stinking idiots. We already know the location of the ruins, and we already know who the enemy is-”

Thanks to this, a flower of harmony blossomed between the martial arts world and the magic world. Lee Gwang-baek appropriately matched the tone of Caracal’s growling voice.

“That’s right. However, it is a corpse strong enough to kill the Seven Seats. In fact, if we don’t have the help of the Yi tribe, who are the leaders of this place, it will be quite difficult to deal with it with our own strength······.”

Yes, Lee Gwang-baek let out a sly remark as if he was having a hard time.

The caracal looked back confidently.

“If they help, there’s no way we can’t catch a big corpse.”

Swish—

Soon, five swordsmen appeared behind the Brahmin family.

In particular, the most famous of the five, the one-sword sword ‘Kaso Pon’, is known to be a giant that can rival the top tier of the Twelve Swords.

Kaso Pon, who appeared in front of the people of the martial arts world, spoke arrogantly while exuding tremendous momentum.

“I am only interested in the wise. Don’t expect anything else.”

* * *

A day has passed since then.

[ I need to know all the individuals and forces that crawled into Al Heimdall. ]

After meeting the survivors, I went to find the beggar Wang Chosam who had been brought to Al Heimdall and pestered him. It was a time when I had to actively use the information power of the open.

And that bastard Wang Chosam was so resourceful that he quickly obtained information that was kept confidential even in the open world.

Ssuk—

It is full of lists of big names who entered Al Heimdall.

The idiots and the idiots have left on their own, and there is not a single force that can be taken lightly. Although Jin Gongjin, the most powerful force in the restoration battle, is staying in Surtr, and the Taesanbukdou Shaolin and the Federation forces are not participating, overall, the scale of the Ragnarok restoration battle is far greater.

Professor Cassandra opened her mouth after checking the list.

“Because Al Heimdall’s tribesmen didn’t participate in the restoration battle. That’s why it was a forced operation led by the Federation Army. It’s also true that from the Megacorps’ perspective, the rewards they got were minimal compared to the risks.”

Dylan also seemed to be taken aback by the sight and added a comment.

“This is how the tearful unification of the Human Federation is achieved.”

Anyway, the information power is such that the word openness naturally comes out.

Even though it wasn’t a magic company, it had information about magic megacorps written down in rough outline. It’s amazing that they were able to grasp all this information in such detail and in such a short amount of time.

“It looks like the leader of the open world, Yongdubangju, has come in person.”

“Hehe, I don’t know about that. You guys should take care of yourselves. You’re a strange old man······.”

“It’s noisy.”

I turned my head away from Wangchosam, who was laughing heartily at what was good.

And then.

Al Heimdall City. He opened his mouth to those gathered at Kaldrak Smith.

“So, from this list, the Brahman family, Jeongmu Alliance, Hyeongsan, Shandong Musician, Namgung, Hwangbo, Seomun, the five sword masters are thinking of joining hands to form a corpse expedition team······.”

Half company.

Haomenju Dokgo Woongbaek.

Seoncheonja and Cheongpung, the eldest sons of the Hwasan Group.

The Cat King Urukbagal, the West King Nivana, and the Elf Lord Isaac Modric.

And the sixth Matapju, Ilehin Poycheka, who brought the Ilehin group. The two Matapjus who followed him.

Twelveth Gonryo, Johanna.

In addition, I also saw the 7th Honorary Dean of Valhalla City Academy, a smiling middle-aged woman, and the level 10 Archmage Wilhelm Garval, whom I had never seen in person before.

I cautiously opened my mouth to the strong men who had gathered in one day.

“Let’s put aside the Parumuqi that can be seen far away from that wall for a moment and crack down hard on these conspirators and nip them in the bud.”

Then, Cheongpung cleverly intervened and said the previously agreed upon comment.

“Director, are you saying that we should kill all of them just because they secretly conspired and harbored other intentions? There are more than one or two people. If we continue like this, things will get worse!”

I answered, shaking my head vigorously.

“I’m not saying we should kill them.”

I spent a day wandering around Al Heimdall City.

Outside the barrier, a giant, Parumuqi, looms.

On the other side, I felt a huge monster beyond my imagination. I knew that the situation was turning serious because it must have been more than one or two.

“I’ll appease the loser and send him home···.”

That’s why I think things are going to get very difficult in Al Heimdall from now on, so I decided to start by cleaning up the house with the gang that gathered at Kaldrak Smith who have friendly feelings toward the anti-company.

“Let’s embrace the talented one. Is Ilgeomju level 10?”

I decided to take things more seriously than usual.
