Returner of the Colosseum

Chapter 85

＜ Episode 85. Revolution(1) ＞

‘Why is that… why is it here?’

The moment I saw the fragment of the mask, I was stunned involuntarily.

Because it wasn’t supposed to be here.

because.

‘I’m sure the piece of blue mask… was listed as being in the Demon Realm.’

In a post Ryan’s trainer Angel posted on the community, it was stated that the piece was in the Demon Realm.

So I thought I would be able to save it at the very end.

It seemed that if I went back to the farm, I would have to open the notes I wrote down when I returned.

‘It’s not the time to be like this.’

I walked over quickly and picked up a piece of the mask.

Looking closer, I was sure.

The item to be synthesized into the Vladimir mask was certain.

‘Item synthesis.’

Tring!

[Do you want to combine ＜Mask: Vladimir’s Game＞ and ＜Consumable Item: Mask Fragment (Blue)＞?]

[Once synthesized, it cannot be undone.]

[Yes / No]

Tring!

[Successfully synthesized ＜Mask: Vladimir’s Game＞ and ＜Consumable Item: Mask Fragment (Blue)＞!]

[Obtain ＜Mask: Vladimir’s Joy＞!]

[＜The Mask: The Joy of Vladimir＞]

[This is the mask worn by the high-ranking demon, Duke Vladimir. Wearing it for a long time, it contains some of the owner’s abilities.]

[You can use the ＜Recovery of Blood＞ ability when equipped.]

[When equipped, ＜Evil Eyes＞ ability can be used.]

[When equipped, you can use the ＜Blood Reinforcement＞ ability.]

[When equipped, ＜Blood Absorption＞ ability can be used.]

[＜Recovery of blood＞ – HP is restored by 1% each time a creature is killed.]

[＜Evil Eyes＞ ― Partial glimpse of the target’s status window. You can spot someone’s lies. You can see it as brightly as daytime even at night.]

[＜Blood Reinforcement＞ ― Every time you kill a creature, all stats temporarily increase by 1%. If you don’t kill other creatures within 3 minutes, the stat increase is reset, and it rises up to 30%.]

[＜Blood Absorption＞ ― Every time you kill a creature, a small amount of stats are absorbed. Only one stat can be absorbed, and the absorbed stat is permanently maintained.]

[Rating: Semi-myth]

The moment I looked at the status window, my body trembled.

‘Every time you kill a creature, your stats increase permanently?’

really?

No matter how high your stats are?

I hurriedly took a deep breath and calmed my excitement.

‘I can do it as much as I want even after taking the gold and items. First of all, gold and items.’

I want to go out immediately and kill soldiers and use my blood absorption ability, but I must not forget the reason I came here.

I diligently took the gold and items piled up in the secret storage in my inventory.

There were quite a lot of high-grade items like a secret warehouse, but I didn’t even think about checking the item information.

In my head, I already have only the thought of wanting to use Blood Absorption, so it won’t come into my eyes anyway.

After taking the huge amount of 30 million gold and various items from the warehouse, I immediately left the Vatican.

Tring!

[The audience wonders what you did inside the Holy See.]

“omg! Knight, heretics come from the Holy See!”

“this guy! How dare you defile the sanctuary with a pagan subject!”

‘The offerings to use blood absorption!’

Then, I was able to find the creatures I was looking for, the creatures I had to kill.

I jumped right in and swung my spear at them.

Then, the physical strength was restored, and one more window appeared along with a notification window that the blood reinforcement stack was accumulated.

[A very small amount of agility stat is absorbed with ＜Blood Absorption＞ ability.]

It was the notification window that a small amount of agility stat was absorbed.

‘I don’t see how much it rises.’

From noble mtl dot com

Judging by the word ‘extremely small amount’, it seemed that the amount was too low for the system window to express.

‘It doesn’t matter anyway.’

Anyway, there is a creature I have to kill here.

Because it was piled up.

If you kill me like crazy

You’ll know roughly how much it will rise.

Awesome!

[Victory condition 2: Defeat all members of the Dark Church that summoned the devil]

[Remaining members: 136,667]

It was when he wandered around the inside and outside, wielding a spear at random, and had done about 50,000 more kills than before gaining the ability to absorb blood.

Tring!

[The Strength stat increases by 1.]

The notification window I had been waiting for finally appeared.

In the meantime, the stats that had been rising by 0.0001 units eventually filled up to 1 and the stats rose.

Of course, the intelligence stat continued to rise.

It’s a useless stat, so I didn’t bother counting it.

From noble mtl dot com

Judging from the fact that intelligence continued to rise, and that muscular strength, which had relatively low stats, rose first among the Near People, one fact could be known.

‘The higher the stat, the more difficult it seems to raise through blood absorption.’

It didn’t matter though.

From noble mtl dot com

Just 1 point for 50,000 kills.

Because it was so valuable and precious to me.

And there.

‘There are still plenty of guys to kill.’

At this level, you will be able to raise quite a lot of stats in this match.

Kwajijijijijik!

“Oh God······.”

As I carried out a massive massacre with thunderbolts, the feeling of fear slowly began to dwell in the eyes of my enemies as well.

finally realized

Today, they know that they cannot survive here no matter what.

And the existence of the god they believe in has no intention of saving them.

Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa-gwa!

There was a roar from some distance away, and a huge amount of dust rose up.

Weapons collided on the other side, and screams began to be heard.

It seemed that the party members, who had been taking a break for a while, resumed hunting again.

‘I can’t take it away.’

My arm that wielded the Thunderbolt gained more strength.

As long as your stamina regenerates almost infinitely.

“Why do you subject us to this kind of trial?”

If you move diligently, you should be able to eat enough kills.

Awesome!

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Turn on the lights in his eyes and kill himㅋㅋㅋㅋ If that’s enough, he’s actually not a devilㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ I think we should check if the devil has transformed into Ren’s form.

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What bullsh*t. The mission itself is to destroy living things in Eden.

└Why can’t I see the map when Ren entered the Holy See? Shouldn’t the invisible area be visible when the player enters?

└ The veil spread out to f*ck the lower league game maker hasn’t been recovered yet ㅇㅇ;;

└Anything like that, you saw it when the lower players entered earlier, right?

└???? what is it Have you pitched a new curtain in the meantime? I’ve already killed the devil, so there’s no reason to do that.

‘after. It’s absolutely amazing.’

The screams that filled Eden soon faded.

The full moon that had been loftily floating in the night sky was slowly disappearing.

They had been slaughter almost all night long.

[Victory condition 2: Defeat all members of the Dark Church that summoned the devil]

[Remaining members: 1,405]

[Status of kills]

[1st. ‘Ren’ 176,662 kills]

[2nd place. ‘Kiara’ 39,762 kills]

[3rd place. ‘Gochiwoo’ 34,012 kills]

[4th place. ‘Teruomi’ 29,607 kills]

After obtaining the blue mask piece, the number of creatures I killed was about 150,000.

In the meantime, the stats that have risen are 2 strength, 1 agility, 1 stamina, 17 intelligence, and 1 mana.

Excluding intelligence, his stats had risen by 5 points.

‘That’s only in one night.’

It was truly a colossal achievement.

Of course, there won’t be many opportunities to carry out such a large-scale massacre in the future.

“Cool. Oh God. Save your servant…”

“Ugh… my, my leg…”

“mom······. mom······.”

Now there were only those who had their arms or legs cut off, or were mortally wounded, waiting to die.

At this point, they were divided into two groups.

Guys who still seek God even in a situation on the verge of death.

And, feeling the futility of God.

“Uh, Mom…”

Guys looking for their mother.

jump! jump!

I started running around and finishing off the living ones.

As long as the mission to kill all living things in this place has been fulfilled.

fanatic or not.

I had no choice but to kill him.

The moans and howls quickly died away.

In the end, the only beings standing in Eden Castle were me and the party members.

Tring!

[Remaining members: 0]

[Victory condition 1: Defeat the demon summoned in Eden]

[Conditions have been met.]

[Victory condition 2: Defeat all members of the Dark Church that summoned the devil]

[Conditions have been met.]

[Basic salary x 1 victory allowance will be paid.]

The end-of-game call in my ears.

Then, the pulse was released, and I was able to release the tension.

‘It’s over.’

It wasn’t that difficult for a mission in the higher leagues, but it was quite mentally exhausting because of the slaughter all night long.

[You have succeeded in hunting a lower level demon.]

[Pay 20,000 P as a bonus.]

[Bonuses are set according to the number of kills.]

[Status of kills ― 1st place. ‘Ren’ 177,392 kills]

[You recorded an overwhelming number of kills.]

[You will receive an additional x 3 bonus.]

[Emergency Mission ＜The Beginning of Darkness＞ has ended.]

[I received 147,000 P as fight money. (Team ‘Fight’ fee deducted 63,000 P)]

[Basic salary +25,000 P / Victory bonus +25,000 P / Additional bonus +60,000 P / Submission allowance +100,000 P / Fee -63,000 P]

[From the next game, the basic salary will be set at 35,000 P.]

[You did a really good job.]

The first circuit breaker I ever experienced.

I unexpectedly got a mask piece.

‘Thanks to that, I raised a lot of stats.’

I earned a lot of points thanks to the sub mission that Ludiac gave me.

In addition, a whopping amount of 30 million gold and various items.

We got so much out of this game.

‘It wasn’t bad.’

all that’s left now

Tring!

[Lower league players return to their respective farms.]

[Circuit Breaker has been disabled.]

[Continue the original ＜King Maker＞ mission.]

‘The only thing left is to go back… What?’

I opened my eyes involuntarily at the notification window that appeared in front of me.

Only lower league players… are sent to the farm?

Wasn’t the mission over?

I immediately opened the shadow mark list window.

There, the name of the third prince I had registered was erased.

In a word, it means dead.

And that in just half a day.

‘Isn’t there something in the victory condition that the 3rd prince should not die?’

Then, as soon as the mission started again, it was no different than a failure.

Tring!

[The 3rd Prince, who was a key figure in the ＜King Maker＞ mission, was killed by the Sword Masters of the Ra Empire.]

[Antipus has been captured by the first prince.]

[The ＜King Maker＞ mission is changed to the ＜Revolution＞ mission.]

[This is a long-term story mission.]

[There is a black magician who wants to summon a demon behind ‘Lucas Franz Albrecht Stefan von Ra’, who became the emperor of the Ra Empire this time. Punish the emperor and the black magician, destroy the Ra Empire, and make it a holy empire that believes in the ‘God of Life’.]

[Victory Condition 1: Defeat the Emperor and Warlock in Antares]

[Victory Condition 2: Destroy the Ra Empire and establish a Holy Empire ruled by the Emperor and Pope together]

[The Emperor of the Holy Empire is Baron Garen Leonhard von Grassen. ― It’s in Grasse. White light flows out.]

[The Pope of the Church of Life is ‘Everett’. ― It’s in Grasse. Purple light flows out.]

[You must introduce yourself as a warrior sent by the ‘God of Life’.]

[The mission will fail if either the emperor candidate or the pope candidate dies.]

[If you don’t make more than 60% of the people of the new Holy Empire believe in the ‘God of Life’, the mission will fail.]

“…”

When I saw the new mission, I burst out laughing.

The difficulty of the mission has increased unbelievably.

Making one of the heirs the emperor was a completely different matter than establishing a new empire.

Kiara, Kochiu, and Teruomi must have seen the notification window as well, and were approaching at a fast pace.

Kiara, who arrived first, opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.

“Ren, have you seen the new mission? The contents of the mission… is too absurd?”

“yes. I saw. It wouldn’t be easy.”

“It’s not easy! It’s an almost impossible mission!”

Kochiu and Teruomi, who had arrived in the meantime, also nodded at Kiara’s words.

Seeing them, I sighed.

“I’ve seen cases where missions that have already come down are canceled… But don’t you know that events like circuit breakers aren’t common? Since I came down, I have no choice but to practice.”

“That’s true, but…”

“It’s just difficult to perform, isn’t it a dangerous mission? If you proceed by eliminating them one by one, there will be plenty of possibilities.”

“Proceeding by erasing one by one…?”

“yes. Let’s start by meeting the baron and the pope-to-be.”

At my words, the party members nodded with dark expressions.

Everyone was relaxing at the thought that the game was over, but they didn’t feel good when they said they had to carry out a new mission.

“Then I should go to Grassen. Where was Grassen…?”

“On the map the 3rd prince showed me, it was at the far southwest corner.”

Everyone sighed at my words.

at last.

In Eden at the northeast end.

It meant crossing the empire of Ra and going all the way to the southwest.

* * *

At the southwestern end of the Ra Empire, Graschen Territory.

The battle was in full swing there.

“Baron! The forces that went out to stop Viscount Mengsk’s forces have been annihilated in Valletta!”

“Captain, Sir Benjamin is said to have been killed!”

“You mean that 3,000 troops were wiped out in just one day after they entered the battle? How the hell!”

“The soldier who came as a messenger said he saw Count Ilias among Viscount Mengsk!”

At the knight’s words, Baron Garen wiped his face with the palm of his hand.

What Viscount Mengsk had done to them.

And the appearance of the sword master, Count Ilias, among the Viscount Mengsk.

‘Why the hell?’

That’s why the first prince’s faction was attacking himself.

I never knew.

“For now, summon all men who can carry weapons in the castle! Loike! Get ready to launch a defensive battle right now. Rocks, scrap metal, even farm tools! Wipe it all away! hurry!”

“I see…”

“Baron! Viscount Mengsk has arrived!”

“already! sh*t. Loike! Run right now!”

“Yes, old!”

Leaving behind the busy running soldiers, the baron hurriedly put on his armor and ran to the castle wall.

already outside the castle.

Boo–

chuck! chuck! chuck! chuck! chuck! chuck!

A large force of 10,000 marched in line, and stopped in perfect order when the horn sounded.

‘sh*t······.’

Grassen’s troops were only 3,000.

If you add all the men who can carry weapons, it will barely exceed 10,000.

On the other hand, the enemy only has 10,000 soldiers who fight professionally.

In addition, the situation included a tactical weapon called the Sword Master.

Baron Garen couldn’t help but grab his head.

At that time, among the charred enemy troops, a knight in silver armor stepped forward.

-Baron Garen! there you are!

He was the owner of the enemy troops who invaded them, Viscount Mengsk.

Garen stepped out in front of the wall and shouted loudly.

“We are the people who served the present Emperor together. No! Why me!”

―Your Majesty, you think of Knox Bridge as the state religion of the Empire! But the Lord said he had no intention of converting!

“No what! For reasons that don’t sound like that!”

Garen screamed at Viscount Mengsk’s words.

Are you coming in just for that reason?

To himself, who has served the first prince for a long time?

‘War is no child’s play!’

The Ra Empire did not have a separate state religion and served the god it wanted to enshrine.

In that sense, do you wage war because the god you worship is different?

It was incomprehensible to the common sense that Garen had lived through until now.

“Dog, I will convert! So hand over the troops!”

Garen’s family has served the god of life for generations.

However, it cannot be destroyed like this.

Once he said he would convert, it was enough to secretly enlist him.

It’s wise to avoid showers.

-It’s already too late! I have received Your Majesty’s command, and I wholeheartedly intend to punish you from God! I’m just telling you why you’re being punished, you can’t go back!

However, at Viscount Mengsk’s words that followed, Garen had to despair.

Maybe.

It seemed to be taken as an example.

Make sure to press down on one person, so you can eliminate the backlash that will happen later.

‘God of life…’

It seemed that we had reached a point where there was no turning back.

Now that this had happened, Garen was determined to resist with all his might.

But in the end, it will be captured, and Grassen’s people will be slaughtered.

Because they have a sword master.

‘Now that it’s like this, I’ll take at least one more person along the way.’

Garen gritted his teeth.

– All troops! March!
