    < Episode 98 – Death of a Hero >

    The leader of the future people.

    said Z.

    “We disagree with you.”

    “Why!”

    Cesc-C protested loudly.

    Z’s telepathy was heard in his ears.

    Ability to encompass all colleagues.

    He along with A was designated as the leader of his colleagues.

    “I almost cornered him! “Now if only we catch Joo Gong-hyeok who takes advantage of the chaos to assassinate the Foreign Affairs Director…”

    “Your plan is too risky. Moreover we hastily revealed our identities to others. “It’s not right.”

    “That’s a trivial thing! In the end all we have to do is stop the overthrow of the Company and catch Joo Gong-hyeok!”

    I heard Z sigh.

    “Your actions changed the future. Where is Joo Gong-hyeok’s opponent X? He should have originally appeared in the Company as the Ninth Apostle.”

    “Ninth?”

    C expressed doubt.

    “As expected my memory is incomplete. We have memories that you don’t have. Based on that memory the time and strategy to attack Joo Gong-hyeok have already been decided.

    “Your actions will only distort the future as we know it.”

    C lowered his voice in response to Z’s questioning.

    “‘S’ and ‘R’ have already joined the company. “I can’t stop anymore.”

    C slowly stood up.

    “Anyway your memories are imperfect just like you. Even if we fail our deaths will awaken the memories of our other comrades.

    On the contrary if we succeed our first goal ‘elimination of Joo Gong-hyeok’ will be achieved.”

    C concentrated his consciousness.

    The five puppets he handled stood up.

    “It’s okay if you don’t even help me. I can’t forgive myself for ignoring D’s death without knowing anything about it.

    “If I fail lead my awakened comrades in my stead and save the world.”

    Z who had been silent spoke quietly.

    “Good luck.”

    The last communication was cut off and C left the room.

    C’s senses caught a rat.

    The residence he was staying in was the foreign affairs director’s safe house.

    It must have been Joo Gong-hyeok who took advantage of the confusion to assassinate the foreign affairs director.

    “You are a rat in a poison.”

    Currently he is fighting outside.

    Since the forces are divided it is difficult to deal with 100 foreign affairs director guards at the same time.

    Again and again

    The magnificent central entrance of the mansion.

    The puppet and C surrounded the second floor as if surrounding an intruder.

    The shadow hiding in the darkness has lost its way out.

    “Show yourself. intruder. “Your whole plot has collapsed.”

    Pogo of C.

    = Crrr─

    I hear the howl of an animal somewhere.

    An intruder hiding in the shadow of the curtain appeared.

    “Did you get caught?”

    Sanchez appeared wearing a hunter’s hat.

    C was rather taken aback by his obedient appearance.

    According to the records he knew the person who should have been in this position was Joo Gong-hyeok not Sanchez.

    ‘No wait a minute. Sánchez was originally destined to be killed by Isaac Gerolvine.’

    The future has changed and the assassin who will come to this place is not Joo Gong-hyeok but Sanchez.

    “Foreign Affairs Director. “Where is it?”

    Sanchez’s avatar. Baskerville’s size had swelled abnormally.

    [Demon power ‘avatar gluttony’ and ‘avatar unification’ manifested]

    [Avatar ‘Hell Hound Baskerville’ evolves into ‘Cerberus (S+)’.]

    [Cerberus swallows Sanchez.]

    [The avatar’s ability amplification rate increases to 150%.]

    [All attacks are given the power of the avatar.]

    The gigantic Cerberus fiercely exposed its teeth.

    “Where did Joo Gong-hyuk go? “Why are you here!”

    “I will use you and the Foreign Affairs Director as scapegoats to let the world know how scary the apostles are.”

    The story doesn’t make sense at all.

    A large beast attacked one of the puppets.

    * * * * *

    Grrrr─

    A weak cry escaped from the animal pinned to the wall.

    “Hmph!”

    C lifted the sword that had pierced his stomach diagonally.

    The avatar’s shape split apart revealing the tattered figure of Sanchez.

    Six weapons were piercing his body.

    ‘Were four puppets smashed?’

    The only ones standing upright were C himself and number 3 Yao Chen.

    Although it is a puppet it is based on a living hunter.

    Fragments of the puppet created a terrible scene everywhere.

    ‘But why haven’t any of the guards shown up?’

    The mansion was quiet as if nothing was happening in this division.

    The foreign affairs director promised to join forces with C to deal with the assassin.

    Still it was somehow strange that no one was coming forward now.

    C grabbed the head of Sanchez who was barely breathing.

    “Where is Joo Gong-hyuk? “Did you come here at Joo Gong-hyeok’s instigation?”

    “Why do you keep looking for Joo Gong-hyeok?”

    “Just answer the question. Where is Joo Gong-hyeok?”

    Sanchez who was a mess chuckled.

    “Why are you looking for Joo Gong-hyeok? “It’s me who’s here not him.”

    “So why are you here!”

    C has not yet figured out the situation.

    A light flashed on above him.

    “All surrounded!”

    1 The guards came pouring out through the front door on the second floor.

    The 99-member bodyguard boasted by the Foreign Affairs Director surrounded C and Sánchez in a circle.

    “You’re finally here.”

    C stood up and said.

    “Director of Foreign Affairs. There is no assassin Joo Gong-hyeok here. “Probably through a different route…”

    “Sanchez—!”

    A tearing sound was heard.

    C turned his head at the familiar voice.

    Next to the Foreign Affairs Director.

    The person he was looking for Joo Gong-hyeok was standing there.

    “Joo Gong-hyeok? “Why are you there?”

    The Foreign Affairs Director had already been told that Joo Gong-hyeok was an assassin.

    However Joo Gong-hyuk was shamelessly next to the foreign affairs director.

    C’s thinking stopped as he did not understand the situation.

    “Sanchez has already been defeated!”

    “We are ready to attack!”

    “Just give me the order and I will repel the assassin!”

    The Foreign Affairs Director nodded at the command of the guards.

    “The opponent is holding Sánchez hostage. “Make sure to kill the assassin so that his sacrifice is not a waste.”

    ‘Sanchez as hostage.’

    At that point C realized.

    No matter what the circumstances are Sanchez is a famous hunter.

    In comparison C is an unidentified hunter.

    It is clear which one is more suspicious.

    ‘Was it a trap?’

    I thought I had cooperated with the Foreign Affairs Director to repel the Four Lords and called in reinforcements from other cities.

    However if the Foreign Affairs Director had already cooperated with Joo Gong-hyuk.

    It was nothing more than a play into the palm of Joo Gong-hyeok’s hands.

    “everyone! attack!”

    99 elite hunters rushed to C.

    If it were the original C I could have avoided it.

    His physical condition was in shambles due to his fight with Apostle Sanchez.

    Soon he was bound and forced to his knees.

    “Since when?”

    C who hit his head on the floor raised his eyes.

    “It would have been confirmed that Cesc was dead during the Goseong mission. “How did you know I was alive?”

    C is talking something incomprehensible.

    The guards looked at each other’s faces.

    Only Joo Gong-hyuk laughed quietly.

    “okay. The real Mr. Cesc. “Did you really think I killed Cesc on the 10th floor for no reason?”

    “Even though I showed you the avatar. “You just killed Cesc.”

    “That avatar was strange. “Is that the guy you saw a long time ago?”

    The avatar shown by Cesc.

    Hero El Cid.

    It was originally another hunter’s avatar.

    “As far as I know it’s Fabregas’ avatar. “I wondered why you had it.”

    “Did you notice that?”

    C’s monster organ. ‘Legion bee egg’

    It was the ability to transform a living hunter into a completely new person.

    The hunters who became his puppets became different people from their original counterparts but their avatars remained the same.

    “But… you saw Avatar El Cid?”

    Doubt appeared in C’s eyes.

    “I took care of him before he even got to the fifth floor?”

    “yes. Mr. Cesc. “Let’s end this boring story here.”

    Twisting

    The sword stuck in C’s skull turned to one side.

    His body trembled.

    [Future person ‘C’ has passed away.]

    [One white coin is given as a reward.]

    [Remaining people 9/13]

    ‘Nine people remaining?’

    The future person that Gonghyeok killed was BC D.

    Three people like this.

    There was not one person.

    ‘Have we been eliminated from Babel?’

    I stood up condescendingly.

    “The remaining personnel please remain on guard. Like now you never know when an assassin might target the Foreign Affairs Director.”

    “Is it possible that Cesk was also an assassin?”

    One of the guards courageously asked.

    “If you know deeply the Foreign Affairs Director will hate it. “If you encounter a security guard like a security guard don’t listen to anything and just stay alert.”

    The guards retreated in haste.

    Now that the Demon King and Necropolis have invaded.

    As he said it was good to be on guard for unexpected situations.

    “Now then let me go back to the battle.”

    Just as he was trying to erase the clone he had dispatched to the Foreign Affairs Director and focus on the fight against the Demon King.

    I felt a strange energy behind him.

    When I looked back there was a white-blue transparent spirit body.

    It was Hayeonsi’s soul separated from her body.

    “what. Are you trying to revive C again this time?”

    “no.”

    Hayeonsi shook her head.

    Her eyes turned to Sánchez’s body which the guards had cleaned up.

    She still could have saved Sanchez.

    Hayeonsi’s hand went up to Sanchez’s head.

    “Arthur. Hayeonsi.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok laughed at her.

    “A novice is using the ability to save people for absolutely nothing.”

    “But Mr. Sanchez…”

    “I noticed it and came all the way here you understand? “Sanchez is also an ‘Apostle.’”

    Gonghyuk Joo looked down at Sanchez’s bloody face.

    “Do you think he’ll be happy if he comes back to life here? If he comes back to life he will only be an ‘apostle’.

    “He is the worst apostle who set up demonic summons all over the city and tried to assassinate the Foreign Affairs Director.”

    “Won’t you give up if you come back to life?”

    “No they will try to kill the foreign affairs director.”

    He covered Sánchez’s face with a cotton cloth.

    “I’ve come too far to live a normal life now. How many innocent people do you think he killed to publicize the horrors of necromancers?

    It was done for a good cause but it was never the right thing to do. “Only madmen whose blood is on fire with hatred do this.”

    ‘Just like me.’

    Gonghyeok spoke next to the silent woman.

    “So much has been lost so much has been killed. He will never stop.”

    He took out a cigarette from his pocket and quietly lit it.

    He placed the cigarette next to his ear like incense.

    “If he dies like this he will die as a hero to the world. If I were to come back to life I would die as a crazy apostle disguised as a hero.

    “Will you still try to save him?”

    She opened her heavy mouth.

    “If you were my brother you could have stopped it right?”

    “well.”

    “You knew from the beginning. “He will set up a summons and act like this.”

    Gonghyuk laughed.

    “What he wants to do. “Is there any reason why I should stop it?”

    “She said. If I leave it like this my brother will regret it. I need to be by your side. “But I’m not sure.”

    Ha Yeon-si’s blue eyes met Joo Gong-hyuk.

    “What on earth should I do?”

    “I don’t know what your angel is saying to you either.”

    Gonghyuk’s appearance slowly disappeared.

    “But you decide. Are you going to raise him up again or protect him forever?

    That’s possible anyway. “Because there is only you.”

    The entrance where Joo Gong-hyeok disappeared.

    Hayeonsi quietly looked back at Sanchez who was covered in cotton cloth.

    He burned his whole life in hatred.

    As long as others are drawn into the flame.

    His resurrected life will never be peaceful.

    Hayeonsi’s spirit bowed slightly and disappeared.

    Peace came over Sánchez’s death.

    * * * * *

    Laa─ Jehuthi──

    The evil spirit king’s thoughts shook all around.

    The underground area was complete chaos.

    “Oh I just died and I came back to life?”

    “We are the limbs of Urben and the immortal army!”

    20000 to 11000.

    Although it was an aberration that was almost twice as large.

    The Four Spirits King overcame the numerical difference by raising the dead.

    Even the apostles who were already dead were strengthened and raised themselves.

    “ah. “It’s so fucking strong.”

    Joo Gong-hyeok caught his breath in the sky.

    The Four Spirits King was transcendently strengthened by receiving the magic power of 10000 believers and the unique city of Necropolis.

    Although his abilities were less than that of a Thousand Knights some of his magic was comparable to his.

    The skull of Urben the Reaper.

    The Necromancer’s head glowed dangerously purple.

    [Skill activated! ‘Reaper’s Guillotine (S+)’]

    The dark energy turned into a giant parallelogram blade.

    There are a whopping 10 of them.

    Dozens of meters of guillotine blades swept in all directions.

    Gonghyuk shouted while dodging the huge flying blade.

    “La Jehuti! Show off some more power! “If it turns out like this I have no choice but to change to the combat type Jecheon Daeseong!”

    La Jehuti does not fall in battle.

    However it is a rear support avatar that focuses on magical power.

    The current Joo Gong-hyeok who grew up mainly in close combat lacked something.

    = I was worried.

    La Jehuti saw Urben behind him.

    = Do you have the right to say something to him?

    “so.”

    La Jehuti’s appearance gradually grew larger.

    Although it is not visible to others it doubles or triples.

    Eventually it took on the form of a giant filling the ceiling.

    = I have decided.

    [La Jehuti acknowledges you.]

    [The final possibility of Avatar La Jehuti sprouts.]

    = You are qualified.

    1st ability ‘365-day pledge’

    The ability to create new rules regarding promises to others.

    Secondary ability ‘Magic Book of Omniscience’

    Consumes 10% of total magical power when activated. Ability to reduce all magical energy consumption by half and increase power by up to two times.

    3rd ability ‘Wisdom of Time’

    And the last remaining……

    [The final ability of SS grade avatar ‘La Jehuti’ is unlocked.]

    [The final ability ‘Lord Shinhwa’ is unlocked!]

    Gonghyeok Joo’s three main level avatars.

    First Ra Jehuti’s final ability was revealed.
