The Return of Apocalypses Tyrant

Episode 232

[Now wait a minute…! You want to tame a paragon? Are you in your right mind?]

Leoric was astonished by Namgung’s words.

“It’s the same as being dead anyway. “If you can subdue it with necromancy, a contract is not impossible.”

[To think of taking away a summoned beast of the Aspect… no one can think like you.]

“Let’s just give it a try.”

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

of of course a black air current began to gush out from Namgung’s hand as he grabbed the Paragon’s face.

[Crook!!!]

Paragon began to rebel violently as black smoke restrained him.

That’s it…! Pazzu, that is…!!

The Paragon began to tear away the smoke that surrounded his entire body with all his might, as if he were breaking shackles.

Wow…!!

Shaking off the torn smoke, Paragon swung his halberd towards Namgung as if showing off.

▶ Soul Reign failed.

▶ The target’s hostility increases.

“It’s not easy.”

Namgung distanced himself from Paragon and quenched his appetite.

“Are you really going to tame him?”

Alec approached him.

“You heard it too. Paragon is Wu’s summoned beast. “A soul soldier who followed the status of the beginning… I can’t help but covet him as a necromancer.”

“i get it.”

In response to Namgung’s answer, Alec spoke calmly and rushed towards Paragon.

“Michael! “Hand me over to him!!”

Pow!!

At his shout, Michael hurriedly teleported and came to his side.

pop! Fuuuuuuuu!

Michael leapt through space once more, grabbing Alec’s shoulder.

“Roxanne! “Turn his gaze away!”

Cooggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!

The rock spirits burst out through the ground, grabbed both of the Paragon’s legs, and hardened.

[…!!]

As both legs did not move, Paragon struggled without being able to maintain his balance.

Kwaang-!!!!

Alec moved behind him and struck Paragon with his sword with all his might.

The sound of armor shaking was loud.

“Zeren! “The Bible!!”

Zeren instinctively opened the Bible and urgently began to chant a spell.

A faint milky aura appeared on Alec’s blade.

“Hwaap!!”

When he waved his sword again, the Paragon’s arms holding the halberd shook greatly.

Sigh! Shush!!

Park Hyo-joo’s dagger was aimed at the back of Paragon’s hand, and when the daggers got stuck in the back of his hand, Paragon dropped his halberd.

“Whoop-!!”

Myung-Hoon did not miss that opportunity.

He pushed the sword into the gap in the Paragon’s armor and turned it at a right angle.

“Break down…!!”

Kwaaang–!!

As the stone sword exploded, black smoke rose from inside the Paragon’s armor.

[Cruck…]

As the Paragon stumbled from the shock, Alec plunged the blade of his sword, shining with holy power, into the Paragon’s collarbone from behind.

Coughing… ·!!

As I hung on to the sword and pulled it down with all my might, as if striking the head of the sword, the Paragon’s armor opened little by little.

“Khaha!!!”

Alec kicked the Paragon’s back and slashed his sword horizontally, cutting off his arm and falling to the floor.

thud-!!

The armored arm is cut off and

“Good!!”

The people there were delighted.

“After all, when you tame a beast, you have to relax. “Finish Namgung.”

Alec took a deep breath and nodded towards Namgung.

[To cut through the Paragon’s armor… No matter how much benefit he is receiving, he really deserves it.]

Leoric was truly impressed by Alec’s inaction.

Even though Woo was sealed and not in a perfect state, he knew Paragon’s strength better than anyone else.

“It was possible because it was not in perfect condition. Although the power of Wu remains here, it will be different from when you receive power directly from the Sangha.”

[Maybe I’ve become a little humble.]

“It’s always like that.”

Alec smiled bitterly at Leoric’s teasing.

▶ Soul Zone Lv 10 (maximum) is activated.

At that moment, the black area spread out from under Namgung’s feet and reached Paragon.

“A wounded beast will certainly bow its head, but that is not enough. “What you need to truly tame a beast is to convince yourself of defeat.”

“You can’t believe it….”

“My territory can restore the lions. “Of course, I know you’re not friendly to me, but I don’t think you’ll like it if it ends like this.”

Paragon raised his head at Namgung’s words.

“Open your heart a little to me. Then I will restore you. I don’t want to force you to tame me. “Let’s stick with me again until you can admit it.”

[Crrrrr…?]

Paragon tilted his head at Namgung’s words.

It was as if he was asking if it was real.

“He makes excuses about being a paragon, but I think he does it because he doesn’t like himself.”

Alec shook his head.

“That stubbornness… Anyway, he doesn’t want to receive help even if he dies.”

“But it looks like you’re not the only one who’s stubborn.”

“hmm?”

Alec turned his head at Myung-Hoon’s words.

“I’m going crazy.”

In his eyes, he saw the Paragon holding the hand that Namgoong held out.

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh…?

As the power of the soul zone enveloped the Paragon, the severed arm was rebuilt.

“I need the power of Woo. I plan to use you as the key. “You prove my strength.”

[Crrrrr….]

The Paragon took a stance and aimed the halberd at Namgung.

“Make me admit it.”

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

At that moment, the two clashed.

* * *

▶ Soul Reign was used.

▶ The fortress sentinel Paragon follows you.

How much time has passed?

“Whew…”

Namgung walked out of the inner space of the fortress looking a mess, wiping away the dust and exhaling.

“Are you finished?”

Myung-Hoon asked him.

“That guy is really great. “Even though his limbs were shattered each time he fought, he did not give up and fought 28 times.”

Michael, who was watching Namgung’s battle, shook his head in astonishment and said.

“Isn’t that person who fought 28 times more of a monster?”

Alec pointed to Namgoong, who looked somewhat refreshed.

[I never thought I could tame Paragon… I don’t know what kind of expression he will make when he meets Woo.]

“I can’t necessarily say I have tamed him. “After signing the contract, Paragon’s thoughts flowed into me.”

[Which?]

“He seemed to want to escape from here. “It’s not that he doesn’t like this place, but he wants to go to Woo, so he’s trying to use me.”

[But I already signed a contract with you. No matter how bad it may be, it will be difficult to cancel the contract. I can’t be his summon anymore?]

“Nevertheless, I guess you want to meet me.”

As Namgung looked through Paragon’s thoughts one by one, he came to see Woo’s thoughts a little differently.

‘I thought he was a strange and unpredictable god who was at the center of change… but the fact that there are people who follow him to this extent means that he has a prestige to match.’

On the other hand, Namgung had a strange feeling as he wondered if he had been evaluating them too lightly, even though they were the gods of the beginning.

“What are we going to do now?”

“While waiting for you, we checked the surroundings, but we didn’t see anything. “There must be a place where the treasure is stored.”

“It didn’t even look like a black route. “It won’t be easy.”

Namgung took something out of his chest at their words.

“If that’s the case, here it is.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the small ring in his hand.

“This…is Yu’s treasure?”

“Where on earth did you find it?”

“It was inside Paragon’s armor. “Once we signed the contract, he took out a ring from inside his armor and gave it to me.”

The people who had been searching inside the fortress for a while burst into helpless laughter at Namgung’s words.

“If I had been forced into a contract, I might not have gotten something really important.”

“I never thought tuning in to this guy’s style would result in something like this.”

“I was lucky.”

Namgung answered in a calm voice and looked at the ring.

No numbering.

Name: Wu’s Inflection Ring

Grade: None.

▶ Inverts the properties of all beings within a 500m radius.

▶ The inverted attribute has a weakened attribute relative to the wearer’s attribute.

“Hmm… It’s not as big of a deal as I thought, is it?”

Is it because everyone had expectations?

He looked a little disappointed at the monotonous description of the item.

“You think so? Look closely, isn’t there something strange?”

Namgoong asked Alec once again.

“…hmm?”

“Isn’t this a primordial weapon?”

Namgung nodded to Nam Ki-cheol’s answer.

“you’re right. In the first place, Origin, which is a primordial weapon like a cloak from outside the world, has no explanation at all. Just like things in the real world. “The fact that an explanation is provided means that you are under the rules of the carnival.”

Namgoong said as he put the ring on his finger.

“There is a high probability that Woo holds the remaining Origin.”

“Hey… then what, did you do something in vain?”

“It won’t be like that. “There must be a reason why this ring was placed inside the Paragon’s armor.”

Namgung thought about Woo’s intention to standardize his Noble Phantasm within the rules of the carnival and leave it in the fortress.

The clue must have been in the efficacy of the item.

‘First of all, the fact that the object is all beings may mean that phases can also be included. That would mean that the ring’s effect would also apply to Woo himself.’

Reversing the properties also meant making it possible to use the opposite power rather than the original power.

The opposite of the power of right.

That was the power of Ran.

‘Why does he want that power?’

Namgung didn’t know his plan, but he felt like there was still the last piece left.

The opponent is God.

He is the oldest, primordial god who is feared even by the gods of today.

‘You have to be careful.’

Together with Leoric, he tried to destroy the Carnival and kill the Aspects, but we do not know if his intention was really for the benefit of humans.

Namgung sensed that the last, hidden intention was the real goal that Woo was aiming for.

Clang –

Paragon stood next to him holding a halberd.

Kwaaaaang――!!!

As he struck down his weapon, the ground split in half and the tiles on the floor began to crumble.

Inside the huge hole, only black darkness remained, with not a single ray of light visible.

‘This smell.’

This pleasant and rich scent was something I smelled in Ran’s cave.

“No matter what he thinks…”

Namgoong put himself into the hole.

“You won’t be easily taken advantage of.”
