Chapter 133

Translator: Rainbow Turtle

The negotiations with Bihyung finished and the judge urged me .

[If it is over then go back . ]

The judge was absentmindedly staring at my liquor bottle again .  It seemed that he hadn’t drank enough…

Wait .  He said that Hades and Persephone wasn’t present right now?

“Hey, Judge-nim . One more thing . ”

[I don’t know what it is this time but…]

“I’ll give you the bottle . ” The judge’s eyes flashed at my words .  “Please take me to Tartarus again . ”

***

There was no time so I went down to Tartarus and then came back up again . It was only a short time but the judge was already drunk .

[Then are you done?]

“Yes . ”

Hades and Persephone being away was a divine move for me . I only gave a bit of information but if I knew Kim Namwoon, that alone would make a big difference .  I was looking forward to the Gigantomachia that would arrive one day .

[There is a message that the queen left . ]

“The queen?”

[Yes . I will directly recite it . ]

The judge repeated Persephone’s words in a profound voice .

[Incarnation Kim Dokja, you have completed the task in a very interesting way . ]

“…”

[Many nebulae in the Star Stream are now watching you . Many of them are hostile towards you . ]

In fact, this scenario had caught too much attention from the constellations .

[You should be prepared . ]

I became a bit nervous after listening to the story .  Was this related to Hades and Persephone’s departure? The reactions from the other large constellations had noticeably decreased a while ago .

In particular, Uriel or… Uriel .  Please note that Uriel was part of the ‘Eden’ nebula .

[The constellation ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ feels sorry . ]

[The constellation ‘Secretive Plotter’ is comforting ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband . ’]

These guys were still here .

[Then go well . ]

I nodded .  There was no point worrying about it now .  The important thing was to build up my stories .  Some nebulae might despise me like Persephone said but it wasn’t everyone .

There was a distant whirlwind and my field of view gradually changed .  Once I opened my eyes again, I had returned .

“Dokja-ssi . ”

There was a strange tension in the voice . I hit my cheeks to come to my senses .  Then I saw Lee Hyunsung’s anxious face and asked, “What happened?”

The people around us were buzzing . Lee Jihye and the others were all crowded around one place . In the air, traces of a distorted space were appearing .

A portal .  It was the pathway that my companions and I had gone through .  Why was this thing open? Hadn’t the scenario ended?

Lee Hyunsung explained, “The second South Korean group has shown up . ” The second group? They came now? “I’m not really sure…”

There was a sense that the second group had come too late .  Usually the second group appeared a week after the first group, but this time the personnel supplement didn’t occur until after the scenario ended . It was different from Japan, whose third group were deployed in an instant .

Lee Hyunsung and I headed towards the portal .

“Ahjussi, this way!”

I headed in the direction of Lee Jihye’s voice and then a man appeared from the portal . His whole body was charcoal, as if he had been burned all over .

“Uhhh…”

This man was someone I knew .  I asked with a shocked expression, “Jung Minseob-ssi? What is this…?”

Jung Minseob . He was one of the few readers who was on my side when I was fighting the prophets . I thought he had died after the War of Kings because I hadn’t seen his face for a while . Why was he here…?

Lee Seolhwa appeared and started to treat Jung Minseob .  However, it was already too late .  At the last minute, Jung Minseob met my eyes and muttered towards me .  “D-Don’t… come… back…”

They were Jung Minseob’s last words .

***

[You have protected the peace of Peace Land . ]

A huge string was shining in the air . There was still a festive atmosphere but the expressions of my party members were different . Lee Jihye wondered in a confused voice, “What the hell is this?”

It was a situation where the scenario wasn’t completely closed so it wasn’t unusual for additional personnel to be dispatched .  Yet the extra personnel was injured from the beginning .

“Was there a case like this in Japan?”

Asuka Ren shook her head at Lee Hyunsung’s question .  “Perhaps they were attacked by something when crossing the portal…”

“Is that possible?”

There were times when there were dimensional species living in the portal .  However, based on my memories, that didn’t happen in this scenario .

Then Lee Jihye gave her opinion .  “Perhaps the remaining people are fighting among themselves?”

I didn’t want it to be like that but it was the most realistic guess .  Asuke Ren nodded and added, “There is no Absolute Throne on the South Korean side?”

“Yes . ”

“Then this isn’t likely . ”

Japan was currently in similar situation . In countries that weren’t affected by the Absolute Throne, the leaders of a group often changed . As far as I knew, this happened a few times in Ways of Survival .

This situation was a bit surprising .  It was still the early stages of the scenario . If the isolated ones joined together, their strength still wasn’t high enough . Moreover, Seoul had prepared a contingency plan . There was Yoo Sangah, Jung Heewon and my mother, the King of Wanderers .

It was impossible for a new leadership group to emerge as long as they were there .  The eyes of the party members were anxious .

“Perhaps… it can’t be . ”

None of the scheduled second group had come . Only Jung Minseob arrived and he was in a dying state . There was even the message ‘don’t go back . ’ I could guess a few possibilities but…

“We won’t know for certain unless we go back . ” When did he appear? Yoo Jonghyuk spoke from beside me .

I nodded at his words .  “You are correct . Let’s go back and check it . ”

Then the scenario message was heard .

[Additional compensation for the major contributors has arrived . ]

[Major contributors: Kim Dokja, Yoo Jonghyuk]

Finally, the main scenario rewards had arrived .

[Do you want to check the compensation history?]

I nodded .

[Rewards List]

1 . Moon Wave Folded Fan (SSS-grade)

2 . Blue Dragon Sword (SSS)

3 . Magic King’s Bracelet (SS-grade)

4 . A choice of one of the following A-grade skills .

There were a total of four rewards .  The compensation list was considerable because the scenario was very difficult .

The items such as Moon Wave Folded Fan and Blue Dragon would show strength comparable to star relics after they were gradually enhanced . There would be no damages . In addition, there was the Magic King’s Bracelet .  This was a good item to defend against beginner and intermediate spells from magic-based returnees .

However, I had obtained the Grass-Cutting Sword and the first two items weren’t very advantageous . The Magic King’s Bracelet was intriguing but the value was reduced unless I met a returnee .  Thus, the answer was fixed from the beginning .

“I will pick the fourth option . ”

A list of skills appeared in front of me .  The reason for the increase in rating was because the skills that appeared mainly belonged to the Murim system .

Manifestation of Nature New Feat

Small Yang Sword .

Taichi Blurred Palms .

…

There were the exquisite techniques of the Shaolin school or famous ones like the 24 Plum Blossoms Swordsmanship . Every one was a skill I coveted but I only had one choice, so I had to be careful .

As I mentioned last time, regardless of the skill’s level, some skills were highly difficult to obtain . There would be a chance to get the Murim skills again but if I missed this chance, there was a skill I would never get .  For example, the Peace Land limited ‘A-grade skill . ’

“I will pick the A-grade skill, Miniaturization . ”

Lee Jihye saw my choice and screamed, “Ahjussi, are you crazy?”

“Why?”

“Why would you choose such a thing? It is too stressful to be small… I would rather you choose the Blue Dragon Sword and give it to me!”

Lee Hyunsung also looked surprised .  The kids didn’t care and were playing with each other .  On the other hand, the small people looked strangely touched .  They probably thought I chose this skill to remember them .

[Now that the compensation has ended, it is time to go back . I’m sure you’ve become attached to each other but please say goodbye . ]

The dokkaebi made an announcement and then a huge portal appeared in the air .  Gillemium and the small people gathered around us .

“Go carefully!”

“Thank you . I’ll definitely remember you . ”

The small people sang a song of farewell for us .  Asuka Ren’s eyes reddened .  The Japanese group also disappeared into the portal . My party members were the last ones to leave . The song of the small people continued .

I kept listening and seemed to hear some lyrics .

-Hero who saved Peace Land .

His name

It isn’t Dokuja

Dokja

Ohh it is Dokja .

Shit, what were these lyrics?

[The beings of Peace Land are linked to your legend . ]

[This achievement can be viewed after becoming a constellation . ]

On top of a bell tower, I could see Kyrgios looking at me . I thought he would run this way and make all sorts of threats after the scenario was over, but he just watched quietly .

Asuka told me, “I think he appreciates you . ”

“Huh?”

“It is just a feeling . I don’t know why . ”

Asuka Ren smiled at me .  Her qualifications as a creator might be lost but the author was still one of the readers .

“Let’s survive and meet again, people of South Korea . ”

Asuka Ren bowed and disappeared into the portal . Then we also entered . My vision swirled and once I came to my senses, my feet were touching the ground . I wasn’t too dizzy since I had experienced it once before .

[The main scenario has ended . ]

The view of Seoul entered my eyes .  I looked around and Yoo Jonghyuk was the only one who arrived at the same place as me .  We might’ve entered the same portal but the exits were different .  Still, why was I with this person…

“Kim Dokja, move . ” The moment Yoo Jonghyuk spoke, the ground where we were standing exploded .  The magic bullets that flew over turned this area into a mess .

“The Supreme King!”

“Don’t panic! Shoot!”

“They aren’t on the same side anyway! Leave the Supreme King and go for the King of No Killing!”

In a way, it was an expected ambush .  Dozens of people were gathered beyond the dust clouds .  At first glance, they had a great deal of equipment and had sponsors .

Were they incarnations belonging to other nebulae like Persephone had warned me about? The answer was still unknown .

“He can’t kill anyone! There is a penalty if he kills! Therefore, don’t hesitate!”

“There is a possibility that he collected points and will revive again . Don’t miss the time of revival and kill him!”

…When had that information leaked? They even knew the information of ‘King of No Killing . ’ After a moment, the person leading them appeared through the dust .

“Kim Dokja! Slowly put down your weapon and come this way!”

I listened to his words . As they came closer, their armed appearance became clear . Each person was wearing A-grade equipment and their overall stats were outstanding .

They wouldn’t be pushed by the wanderers group that my mother led .  Where the hell had these people come from? The leader smirked at me like it was already over .

I smiled at him and asked, “Where did you get my information?”

“What are you going to do?”

“I will let you know that one part is wrong . ”

“What?”

[Blade of Faith is activated!]

Blade of Faith was pulled out and instantly cut the leader and his men who were surrounding me .
