The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

A week has passed since the funeral.

Shortly after her funeral, Snow Nyeo re-frozen him.

She had already put her death in front of her, in order to save her life by turning him back into a frozen human.

However, it is difficult to defy fate, so the mana frozen before a day has passed has become a magical stone.

Seongjin confirmed Mana's death and made the spot a tree, not anything else.

The largest tree on the mountain and the center of the elf village was engraved with mana stones, and his name was engraved on the tree.

"If you're here, you'll be able to see the kids well. It's good to play."

Seongjin said as he sprinkled the tea he liked on the tree that had become a bed.

Before it could be absorbed into the tree's soil, it extended its roots and absorbed it.

"It's my first time with this kind of tea, so I don't know if it suits my taste. Oh, I can't serve hot tea.

The roots shook up and down.

Seongjin, who recognized this as a positive, poured the tea again.

"What. Were you here?"

While he was doing that, he looked back at the sound he heard behind him.

Nurari and the Great Evil Hwan.

they were walking

"Why don't you talk when you come? Take care of the kids."

"The kids?"

"I take a nap. Normally, children need a lot of sleep to grow up."

Nurari said so and put down the car he had brought.

The roots of the tree ran into it.

There was a difference in taste, or a little bitterness.

"By the way, I can't believe it. It would have been better if it wasn't for the tree that Mana-nim was alive and moving like this."

"Yeah."

"Couldn't it be saved?"

"I can make it not die. In the form of an undead."

After hearing Sungjin's answer, Nurari sighed.

I remembered that Seongjin had been revived from nephritis and treated Cain before, but it was something I should never have done according to what he said.

I don't know if it was to save him with a healthy body, but if he saved him because the internal organs necessary for life activities were messed up, he would only become an undead.

And the undead will gradually disappear.

'When you look at the case of the Knights of the End created by the Blue Knights, they have no memories of their lives. Perhaps the same result would be the same if mana was saved in the same way.'

It's not like dementia.

He will probably lose his memory like the knight of the apocalypse and give unconditional loyalty to himself like a taming monster like a blue knight.

It was different from what he wanted and the wishes of those left behind.

"I've tried other things, but I'd say they're still elves. Except for trees, their bodies rot quickly. For now, this is the best."

"I know. You said the ability of the sama you killed this time? Still, he's a helpful guy in death. Hee!"

Nura-ri understood that it was a skill that Seong-jin used through mutation after killing Sama. Judging by the spitting, it seemed that he was not at all dissatisfied with borrowing his power.

Strictly speaking, of course, it was a little different.

The title of reaper obtained by killing him, was part of that effect.

'I said dominion over the lion.'

Looking at the tree with nephrotic eyes, the world looked different.

You can see the haze of various colors rising into the sky.

There is a haze in the body of Nurari and Daeakhwan in front of you, but it does not ascend to the sky and is fixed on the body.

Normal trees don't have it, but it's there in the tree, the graveyard of mana.

'Perhaps this is the soul.'

He just touched it by hand and fixed it on the tree.

So that he can watch the children he loves.

Of course, I had no intention of leaving it like this.

"The Great Evil. You said you saw it. The future you meet with your lover with the dimensional telescopic skill."

"Yeah. Although it was only for a moment, I definitely saw it. She was definitely Suzuka."

Suzuka.

It was the name of his lover that he only heard now, but he pushed it into a corner of his memory.

What was important to her was that he met her. She and her who are her lions.

So she was the one who believed that her gods would save her.

"Where and how did you meet? Did you meet here?"

"No. I only saw it for a moment, but at least it wasn't here. Rather, there weren't humans...but, I guess, there were gods."

"okay."

In other words, Shizuka, the lover of the Great Evil Wreath, was resurrected from heaven.

Her gods he saw were probably those who resurrected her.

"Then will she be able to save mana?"

“I can’t be sure, but maybe…”

Seongjin, who had gotten there, turned around.

The last check is over.

What he saw through the dimensional telescope was only a fragment of the future. It could even be that he was mistaken.

But Sungjin decided to believe this.

* * *

Tock, tock-

Time to sleep everyone.

Sungjin sneaked out of the house.

He walked out deep in the mountains, a long way from home.

As time passed, fog gradually began to form where he was going, and then a large black tower appeared.

tower.

It was to pave the way to the new realm.

"Huh. Just come out. It's hard to pretend you don't know."

Sungjin said as he looked back before he went into the tower.

Then Nurari appeared there.

"It's hard to follow you like this, but it's hard."

"Considering today's conversation, I must be suspicious. I couldn't get it out without chasing me."

Nurari looked at the tower for a moment and then asked.

"Are you planning to go to heaven?"

"It should be."

"Aren't you being too impulsive? You said you were going to go in a year."

"It's okay to go earlier than the original appointment time. And it's not just because of Mana's death. Actually, that's a bonus."

"then?"

"For everyone."

He never intended to be sad.

If you've been through something like this, you shouldn't have to go through it again.

We had to figure out the cause and prevent it from happening again.

The cause was clear.

His absence and lack of decisive power of S-class hunters to hunt the gods.

"The reason I wasn't here is that those gods didn't come through the gates. It also makes this system map, which shows the locations and times when future gates are created, useless. We have to fight in real life, not in real life. We can't guarantee what this Earth will be like in a fight with those that come out later."

Before the actual Return, the Earth was more severely damaged by fighting with them than being flooded with S-class monsters.

Comparing the S-Class Hunter to a weapon such as a nuclear weapon is because its power is also powerful, but it has the potential to destroy the Earth itself.

We can tell when and where they appear, but these are not gods.

"There is only one solution. Blocking the entrance in Heaven to prevent them from coming here in the first place. The only person who can do that is me."

"Did you explain it to the others?"

"For someone who won't stop even if I explain it to you."

"It must be Lee Jae-cheol."

Sungjin laughed instead of answering.

If so, he had a network of contacts who would not only agree with his opinion, but would also explain it properly to others.

He will give his parents a good excuse too.

"Are you okay alone?"

Seong-jin said there was no problem, but this was not an easy task.

a whole year.

During that time, it acts as a gatekeeper.

It was something he couldn't do other than that, so he was alone.

"Why? Come with me? Arthur. What are you doing while you have work to do?"

"Yeah..."

"I know everything. You're not going to heaven."

At his words, Nu Lari bit his mouth.

His true feelings, which he had not yet spoken of, came out of his mouth.

"I understand. You must be worried about the elf children. Those who will grow up without mana, and the children who will be born in the World Tree. They are what you are responsible for."

"that's…."

When Seongjin took one step forward, Nura-ri took a step back with the same stride.

He was sorry that he had not yet said the words. It was something he thought he would say someday.

He received most of his mana. A contract with the World Tree, authority, power, and even the qualifications of a high elf.

He had inherited all of them, so he thought that he was the only one who would raise the children.

"It's okay. I'm not trying to question you."

Sungjin quickly narrowed the distance and patted his shoulder.

"Are there any problems with missing one of you?"

suuk-

His shadow grew bigger, and several eyes lit up.

Nurari, nervous for a moment, stepped back.

And touched his pointy ears.

Feeling the crisis of life, he used the power he received from Mana and became an elf for a while.

'What is that?'

It was obvious that it was a monster attached to each shadow.

They were monsters that seemed to overwhelm themselves with just one.

"I'm a tamer just like you."

Sungjin said so and turned around.

It was still a sacrifice, but he didn't seem to care.

"I'll do everything for you, so it'll be hard, but you should be Mana-sama's substitute. I can't do that."

instead of mana.

At his words, Nurari bit her lip.

The weight of the horse gripped his feet.

"It's called role-sharing. Please do your best."

Seongjin, who left the last word, opened the door of the tower without delay and went inside.

Along with that, the magic tower slowly disappeared.

After watching the place for a while, Nurari collapsed on the floor.

"distributing roles?"

There was a bitter laugh.

"Heroes always say that. If not me or anyone else."

They are always forced to make such an unfair division of roles and sacrifices, and they graciously accept them.

That was the mindset of being a hero.

"That's our job, bastard."

It was what he wanted to say then, but he didn't deserve it.

* * *

Seongjin ascended to the last floor of the tower just as he had ascended to heaven through the previous tower.

Meeting him there was the same as before.

white space.

It was just an empty space with no background.

But he was very different from before.

"Shoot! Never let them go to the underworld!"

- The gates of the underworld are getting weaker as they get weaker. Kill the flying pigeons later and focus on the gates of the underworld.

"Raise your shield. Block the enemy's attack with your body!"

- Hit it. break it Ignore the enemy's attack and focus on the attack!(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Where before, only angels flew and threatened him and the black mist attacked him, now they are fighting amongst themselves.

Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Spears and arrows poured like rain, and monsters like black mist repeatedly clustered and scattered.

The shield held by the angels radiated divine power and formed a shield, which surrounded the castle.

When the black mist collided, the two-horned monster, Yacha, wielded a huge club on its head, the shield shook violently, and blood gushed from the mouths of each angel.

It felt like taking all the damage with my body.

The white space was stained with black smoke, white wings, and red blood.

"Haap!"

- profit! let this go let go of this... !

An angel who was swinging a club just in front of the shield grabbed him from behind with his clasped hands.

And.

key-

Quang!

The body lit up and exploded.

Blood covered the shield and dyed it red, making it invisible.

Still, judging from the pieces of flesh and the horns of the yachts, it seemed that the angel's sacrifice was not just a wish for light.

'Is it a tactic because of it?

How to write because the skills of each person are low and the number is high.

As it is a skill that puts life as collateral, its power was sufficient to give an S-class, which is one rank higher.

uh uh-

The shield has absorbed blood.

It absorbed the divine power and magical power contained in the blood.

Slightly broken areas were repaired at once.

- Just by looking at this, I could tell who was an ally and who was an enemy, and what the post-war situation was like.

Seongjin stepped forward beyond the shield soldier.

The shield passed through without any resistance.

"This young pigeon with its wings off did not know that my life was wasted and stepped forward!"

The surrounding monsters who saw it misunderstood Seongjin as an enemy angel and rushed in.

It was because of their excellent mobility through their wings that only A-class angels could fight them.

On the ground, they fell short of their S-class strength.

So the angels who landed on the earth had a chance to kill them.

pitching.

If only he was really an angel.

In response to Seongjin's attack, they turned into a handful of blood and splashed in all directions.

"I'm not in debt, but I'm not good at counting."

Sungjin wiped the blood from his hand.

The surroundings suddenly filled with silence. All attacks were temporarily halted and the noise ceased.

That's why something so absurd had happened.

Thanks to this, Sungjin's voice could be heard well around him.

"How many times do I have to kill you to get this blood price?"

It was a terrifying voice to hear.
