Apocalypse's All-Rounder Mischief

Chapter 38

tower of knowledge (2)

A large cat with gray hair and a face that is playing with two giant zombies.

As he continued to attack with his hit-and-run strategy, the magical zombies were screaming and howling.

“Aaaaaah!”

“Kiaaak!”

The sound was getting louder and louder, and Junyoung was even more confused.

Kim Dong-hyuk and others staggered, covering their ears with both hands.

And, who had endured well until then, ran back and forth towards Junyoung as if he couldn’t stand the pain any longer.

This is the moment when Junyoung wiped out all the normal zombies.

“Eon!”

And, crying little by little, looks a little tired.

No matter how much they attack, the magic zombies don’t die, so it seems that they have reached their limit.

“great job. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of them now.”

Junyoung stroked Andrew’s tired head.

Then the guy’s droopy tail went straight up again.

The boy’s eyes come alive again.

I was just gently stroking it.

Was it freed from fear caused by the screams of magical zombies?

“Aww!”

He ran like the wind and caught the attention of the magical zombies.

Aggro management!

In terms of the game now, he is playing a role like a tank.

Of course, he’s not a tough defensive tank, but an agile tank that fights with evasion.

no matter how it is

With that little cute guy as the tank, it’s a bit like that.

“You’re doing great, Andy. Hold on a little longer.”

“Nyan!”

Andy replied boldly, as if not to worry.

Meanwhile, Junyoung went on a quest towards magical zombies.

Finding and destroying magical nuclei is the only way to defeat them.

[Search was successful.][Search was successful.]

Instantly, from the huge body of the magical zombies, a group of blue lights the size of a tennis ball moving as if they were alive.

‘Magic Core!’

This is the weakness of magical zombies.

It moves so fast that it’s not easy to hit.

There’s a way to put it all together.

Unlike before, it has a ranged attack ability.

‘Dark Arrow!’

Combat ability created the moment you equip the Hobgoblin Knowledge Card!

Tsutsutsu!

Immediately, a black sphere appeared in front of Junyoung.

It immediately turned into an arrow and flew away.

Then it hit the exact spot Junyoung had targeted.

Pak!

As the magic core exploded, the massive magic zombie stumbled and fell without a hitch.

Kill one!

‘Dark Arrow!’

Now another magical core is the target.

Pak!

The moment the dark arrow flew and pierced the core, the magical zombie shrank like a deflated balloon and drooped as it was.

‘Simple.’

Guys who used to struggle quite a bit aren’t a big deal now.

That’s proof that he’s gotten stronger.

Junyoung looked around with a proud smile.

You can see Andrew quickly packing the boxes dropped by the magical zombies.

[And got the magical equipment box.][And got the magical ability box.]

When the boy made eye contact with Junyoung, he made a sound of ‘Eon!’ and ran away.

anyway.

If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s an idiot!

Dedede!

Then, suddenly, the whole tower shook violently as if there was an earthquake.

At the same time, a grand notification sounded.

[You have defeated all the guardians on the 5th floor.][Occupied the 5th floor.][Your level has risen.]

I reached level 5.

In addition, not only And, but also Kim Dong-hyuk and others rose by one level at each level.

Dedede! Dedede-!

But there was no time to rejoice.

The tower’s building shook as if it was about to collapse.

“Avoid everyone!”

At the moment when everyone was shouting to get out because I didn’t want it to be like this.

Kugugugugung!

With a huge roar, an intense light covered the fifth floor.

flash! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-

A flash of light as if it were struck by lightning!

It wasn’t at the level I could resist.

“··········!”

Junyoung just lost consciousness.

***

[You have 2 hours left in the protection period.]

How unconscious was he?

Junyoung was startled and woke up by a sudden, urgent notification.

‘2 hours?’

Rather, where is this place?

It’s still like the 5th floor of the tower.

The moment the strange light exploded, he lost consciousness, and so long had passed.

‘By the way, what was that light all of a sudden?’

If it hadn’t been for the intense storm of light, I wouldn’t have had such a restless time.

With less than two hours left, it’s hard to know how to prepare for battle.

Moreover, Kim Dong-hyuk and others are not waking up in a state similar to fainting.

[Kim Donghyuk, Wizard Lv3]

-Status: Forced sleep

[Subject is asleep by an unknown force.]

Na Ji-yeon, Tatiana, and Park Seung-woo are all the same.

However.

I can’t see Andrew.

no there it is

swish! Whip!

The boy was waving his hand towards something with curious eyes.

“And what are you doing?”

“Eh?”

And then was startled and looked at Junyoung.

It’s a remorseful expression.

Junyoung smiled.

“You were awake.”

“Nyaan!”

The boy ran away with his eyes twinkling.

Then he jumped over his shoulder and rubbed his chin against Junyoung’s cheek.

swish.

Junyoung gently tickled his chin with his fingertips.

Then he purred as if he was in a good mood.

The so-called Golgol Song!

There was no such thing as a separate boeun effect, but just hearing the sound somehow made me feel at ease.

Has the anxiety gone away?

Come to think of it, it’s a small cat, but being with him really gives me a lot of strength.

Especially when everyone is asleep by an unknown force, how fortunate he is to be awake.

“But what is there?”

“Nyan!”

Andrew nodded and jumped off as if to follow him.

Then again, he swung the space with his front paws from where he was.

‘What are you doing that for?’

was not visible from a distance.

But when he got closer to Andrew, he saw something.

A transparent being that shines brightly.

What is that?

If you do not know the identity of something, there is no need to hesitate.

‘research!’

Fortunately, it is a subject that can be explored.

Exploring by consuming mana!

[The target is Heroes of Ancient Knowledge.][Ancient Knowledge Heros]

-Description: A being in the form of ancient mystical knowledge. Only the commander who has captured the Tower of Knowledge can talk.

The explanation was very brief.

However, Junyoung was not happy.

I was looking for it anyway.

Finally, the existence related to the Tower of Knowledge appeared.

‘Can you talk to me more than that?’

How can he talk?

no need to worry about anything

In this case, do it intuitively.

“Hey! What are you?”

Junyoung tried to talk.

Then the beams of light spread out like a flower blooming.

Whoa, whoa-!

Intense light!

It somehow reminded me of the light that made me lose my mind earlier.

“You have been very lucky to wake me up.”

“I am the highest of the great ancient knowledge.”

“His name is Heroes.”

“No ancient knowledge can surpass me.”

Mysterious and majestic voice.

It’s really absurd that ancient knowledge could be embodied in light and say something like this.

Besides, he is self-proclaimed as the highest level being.

But where in the world are there one or two such bizarre beings?

Junyoung asked, looking at Heros with a calm expression.

“If you are ancient knowledge, you will know the secrets of this world. What on earth is this strange world?”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can tell you yet.”

“Why?”

『Ancient knowledge like mine is awakened through the Tower of Knowledge. If someone occupies this tower, coincidence and coincidence overlap and connect. It’s amazing that you’ve connected with me.”

It’s also self-congratulatory.

It really doesn’t seem like it’s normal.

“But normally, in this case, you are supposed to talk to me along with God. But you don’t worship any god, so it’s very strange.”

After all, is God the problem?

“Isn’t it possible without God?”

“It’s not necessarily like that. Fortunately, you have the reputation, so you deserve to talk to me. From now on, you must raise your level and raise your rank.”

“I already do.”

“It still lacks a lot. Most of my knowledge is sealed. As you increase your level, my seal will be unlocked.”

In conclusion, it means that the commander’s ability must be high to be able to tell something.

“So there is nothing you can tell me right now?”

“I didn’t say anything at all. I can’t really remember anything, but if you have any questions, just ask.

Junyoung laughed.

“What are you going to ask me if you can’t remember anything?”

Then Herod’s halo rotated violently.

I think something blew up.

Is your self-esteem hurt?

“Ask for once. If you know, you will answer, and if you do not know, you will say you do not know.”

“great! So, what are the identities of the people behind all the gods in this world?”

『That will come naturally when you reach Commander Reputation 9.』

『Or, if you get 3 or more of God’s Fame, you can contact them. It is still very far from you.”

“Right.”

He said he didn’t know anything, and he replied surprisingly softly.

Thanks to this, I learned something new, but, as Heros said, the commander’s reputation with 9 stars and God’s fame with 3 stars is unheard of right now.

“Do you have any questions other than that?”

“I heard that I can pass on the language of the monsters I learned here to my subordinates?”

“It is very simple. Tell me what language you have acquired.”

Tidway wasn’t wrong either.

“Less Goblins, Lesser Orcs.”

“Don’t let it run immediately. From now on, your men will also be able to speak Goblin and Orc.”

Instantaneous notification.

[Goblin language has been added to the language of the land.][Occitan has been added to the language of the territory.]

How can you learn a new language this way?

There really is no such thing as a scam.

『For your reference, there are two hidden dungeons in your territory. It is a dungeon of life and death and a dungeon of survival.”

Even without Junyoung asking, Heros provided another new piece of information.

『Through the dungeon of life and death, you can know someone’s life or death, and you can obtain necessary supplies through the dungeon of survival.』“··········!”

This is truly astonishing information.

Especially the dungeon of life and death!

“Really? You can tell someone’s life or death by breaking the dungeon?”

“Yes. The final boss notifies you when you break the dungeon. You can only ask for one person’s life or death at a time, but there’s nothing to worry about. The dungeon is reset every day.”

For a moment, Junyoung’s heart raced.

Even if it wasn’t, I wished I could know the life or death of my family, but I guess that was realized through the dungeon.

But now that’s not the problem.

[Hobgoblin Commander Kwak Sang-cheol declares war on you.]

Sudden warning notification.

War declaration!

It is also the Hobgoblin Kwak Sang-cheol.

[“You have no chance of winning, so surrender, Kang Junyoung! I’m a goblin now, but I was originally a human. Also Korean! I don’t want to eat the same Koreans. If we swear to serve the great goblin god, Tykin, we can become friends. Heh, goblin is better than I thought. I never knew human meat could be so delicious.”]

In the next notification, Kwak Sang-cheol’s voice was heard directly.

‘Crazy.’

Totally crazy.

It seems that Kwak Sang-cheol’s mentality has already gone out.

It is hypothetical to say that we do not want to eat the same Koreans.

As the saying goes, he has already eaten people.

There is absolutely no going back!

As long as his humanity is gone, he is now just a monster.

But the declaration of war did not end there.

[Hobgoblin Commander Urta declares war on you.][“Meat! Two hours left!”]

A very short message.

He was presumed to be a native goblin, but he was still looking at Junyoung and other people as chunks of meat.

He sent a very simple and clear message that he would eat them in two hours.

[Slime commander Karuo Takahashi offers you an alliance.][“how? Would you like to form an alliance with me? If you form an alliance with me, you can live. Of course, it is a condition of serving the great slime god Hadosune. When you become a slime, you experience a new world. Because you will feel that human beings are very insignificant compared to slimes.”]

The sound of laughter echoed gloomily, and a new notification sounded.

[Would you like to accept the slime commander Karuo Takahashi’s offer of an alliance?][If you accept, you will serve the slime god Hadosne as your god.]

“refuse!”

I’m really mad

Although it was said that it was an alliance proposal, it was momentarily tempting.

The horse was an ally, and it was no different from the goblin’s declaration of war.

[You rejected Takahashi Karuo’s offer of an alliance.][Karuo Takahashi declares war on you.][“You are such a fool to refuse a favor. Anyway, now I can’t go back. Hadosune-sama was very angry at your arrogant response. There’s no use running away. 👑👌👌 If it were me, I would rather commit suicide.”

Even if he turns into a monster, it seems that some of his memories of being a human remain.

Anyway, Karuo Takahashi is already a monster.

‘after!’

The slime god Hadosune is said to be a neutral god.

However, in the end, what they do is no different from evil gods such as Celes and Tikhin.

“The declaration of war has arrived. But don’t panic. Do you not have the greatest ancient knowledge or Heros?”

Herous radiated an intense light and transformed into a shape resembling a gigantic map.

“Can you see it? This is your territory map.”

It’s amazing.

It’s a three-dimensional map.

The tower of knowledge where Junyoung is located, as well as the surrounding area of the Drust Forest surrounding the hideout building, unfolded in detail as if viewing a satellite view from the earth through the Internet.

In addition, the map began to expand gradually.

“War is not just about troops. Diplomacy is also very important.”

“For now, we will need an alliance with the Orcs. How about proposing an alliance to Jung Eun-ji?”

Jung Eun-ji’s vast estate was marked on the map.

It is a huge manor that is 4 times more likely than Junyoung’s manor.

Of course, the fact that the territory is large now doesn’t really mean anything, but maybe she filled her fifty with native orcs.

‘The answer is to be friendly with the orcs.’

Orcs are a race friendly to humans.

“How do you propose an alliance?”

“If you have something to tell Eunji Jung, do it. Let me tell you.”

Junyoung thought for a moment and then said.

“Mr. Eunji Jung! Allies, please.”
