New player (1)

The Emperor of Maninling disappeared just like that.

The reality of the prophecy taught by the emperor weighed heavily on everyone.

"It is so frightening. He was so powerful that he couldn't even completely defeat the emperor in his lifetime, but now he must be stronger than that."

The queen's expression became depressed.

Pietro, an expert in creating monsters through biological manipulation, also helped.

"I don't know how strong my strength may have become, but I'm most afraid of social skills and intelligence. Because both taboos that shouldn't be given to monsters apply."

Seo Mun-yeop asked Pietro.

"Is the monster created in those ancient times roughly similar to the ones you used to make?"

"The purpose for which they were created must be the same. One to kill, two to gather. Since the aura is the source of our people's support, I must have had the monster gather it at that time as well."

Pietro continued with a serious expression.

"The important thing is to collect the auras of the monsters before they become stronger, and collect the collected auras. So, when creating a monster, it was a natural limit set so that no matter how many Auras were collected, it would not become stronger than a certain level."

"But ancient monsters have no limits, right?"

"The ancestors may not have been stupid, but they must have set the threshold too high in their greed and reached the point where they couldn't handle it. Perhaps, by chance, a rare species that surpassed its limits was born."

The accidental birth of a rare species.

And that rare species becomes stronger in the law of survival of the fittest and reproduces, increasing the number of such rare species.

It meant the process by which a race evolved.

"So a monster that reproduces itself is dangerous. Because during the breeding process, mutations that even those of us who created them may appear unexpectedly."

"But aren't there a lot of monsters that made you breed too?"

At Seo Moon-yeop's point, Pietro nodded.

"The emperor is right. If it hadn't been for the war, we might have self-destructed just like the abandoned world."

"Anyway, then the ancient being disguised as a heroic spirit that the high priest heard is likely to be the head of the monsters in the abandoned world."

the queen concluded.

"exactly. It seems that there was a prophecy similar to ours in the emperor's time, and I can only think of it that way given the circumstances."

"Listening to the story, I think we will have a very hard time fighting that monster and winning."

"I couldn't beat the emperor who became undead, but what if the emperor in his prime while alive was too much for him..."

Seo Mun-yeop also acknowledged it.

Although he became stronger as he reached the stage of weapon spiritualization, he was still unable to defeat the emperor one-on-one.

What a monster the emperor must have been in his lifetime.

He must have been an absolute strongman who truly displayed god-like strength.

It means that at least that much is enough to fight the boss of the monster from the prophecy...

'Ah, I thought I had broken the final boss, but it looks like a new boss mob has been updated.'

It was like a new quest of such an enormous scale that even the final dungeon was laughable.

The high priest, who was the last king at the time, is now a colleague, but the odds of winning are still vague, so he said everything.

"Then we should make it our top priority to stop the first high priest trying to summon the monster. From now on, we'll track down and locate the first batch of high-ranking priests. If you find it, I want you to give me strength like today."

At the Queen's request, Seo Moon-yeop nodded happily.

"good. If you have a fight, come anytime. Because I think I'm the savior."

I wondered if Seo Moon-yeop's achievement of weapon spiritualization, which only the emperor was capable of, was a symbolic proof of that.

As the emperor died, he pointed out Seo Moon-yeop as the savior, so he was probably right.

Then Pietro said.

"It won't be easy to trace. The traces of movement created during spatial movement do not disappear easily, but those with excellent abilities know how to erase the traces."

"Can't we start from the dungeon we met before?"

"There was no trace of movement there. Because they moved carefully."

"Still, it's much better than when I didn't know anything and was vague. I will do my best to investigate."

said the queen.

'Wait, I guess I'm part of the underground Indians who showed up at my secret place last year?'

Seo Moon-yeop recalled Ji-jeo-in, who appeared in the dungeon, which he used as his personal hideout and storage.

I just killed it, but at that time, Seo Mun-yeop said he had heard about the prophecy for the first time.

Seo Mun-yeop thought deeply before opening his mouth.

"Come to think of it, was there an original purpose that brought me here?"

At that, the Queen clapped her hands.

"that's right! I invited you to hear where you got the seeds of Zadrun. Just to explain the circumstances."

"There is a dungeon that I made my personal space, and I got it there. Some kind of idiot planted it."

"Are you a Jeezer?"

"Uh, the grade was at the level of red, but before he died, he said something about the land where the light falls."

"It could be that they're just wandering people, but if they had something like Zadrun's seed in the midst of this..."

"There is a possibility that he is the first subordinate. The monsters were mainly managed by us priests."

Pietro answered instead.

He spoke with his eyes shining.

"And if it's a red grade, it doesn't know how to erase the traces of its own movement."

"Then maybe we should do some research on that side as well. That's really good information."

The queen has become a flower.

"Phew, then, is this work over to this point?"

"Yes, thank you for your help. If it wasn't for Seo Moon-yeop, he wouldn't have made it this far."

In fact, the versatile Pietro was the biggest help, but Seo Moon-yeop was the one who brought him, so it was not wrong.

"Well, since it depends on the safety of mankind, there is nothing to be thankful for."

"I'd like to repay you, but do you need anything?"

the queen asked.

Seo Moon-yeop shrugged.

"well? I can't remember anything."

"Can I give you some money? I can give you billions of dollars."

The queen willingly offers a huge amount.

Surprised, Seo Mun-yeop only then recalled that the queen was the owner of the World Association that created and managed Battlefield.

"Looks like you made a lot of money."

"Yes, I used the money I earned to purchase the remaining magic stones on the ground. It was used to create a space for our people to stay. Fortunately, humans don't have the skills to use mana stones, so they were easy to collect."

During the Underground War, there were quite a few magic stones on the ground that superhumans brought from the dungeon.

However, because there was no technology to use it, it was not worth more than just a decorative souvenir.

There were many national institutions to study, but even those disappeared when Seo Mun-yeop destroyed the last dungeon. Because I couldn't get any more magic stones.

'He lived very hard in his own way.'

Seo Moon-yeop admired the queen's efforts.

By nurturing players with Battlefield, even if tribulation strikes, humans are equipped with the power to respond.

And by earning money, he brought the people of the underground who had become wanderers and provided them with a place to live on the ground.

He was playing the role of a prophet leading to the land of light.

Seo Moon-yeop said.

"The money's done, I'll take him."

Then he pointed at Pietro.

Pietro tilted his head.

"me?"

"You, let's play Battlefield with me."

Seo Moon-yeop proposes with a grin.

Pietro, who had heard the explanation about Battlefield, was bored.

"I don't like it very much. If I show my real skills, it will only get known that I am a Ji-Jeo person."

"You just have to stop doing things like Ji-jeo."

"..."

"Humans cannot use auras other than to protect themselves, inject them into weapons, or use superpowers. That's why you can't freely touch the aura like the underground person. So, you just need to move in space and use Heroic Spirit Strike."

It meant that you shouldn't do anything with your fingers to raise people up, to pull out their souls, or to summon dead souls.

"I don't know why I should."

At those words, Seo Mun-yeop distorted his expression.

"Hey you bastard, don't you owe me anything?"

"···there is."

"Isn't a war criminal bastard claiming that he paid for all his sins with just this amount?"

"Not so. But what does it have to do with paying for my sins and playing Battlefield with you?"

"Honey, shouldn't you do some real combat training in case trouble strikes! You may have to fight alongside humans, but you should learn how to fight in harmony in advance, right?"

"..."

Pietro had a very unwilling expression on his face.

But after thinking about it, he opened his mouth.

"good night. It was awkward to live with my own people here anyway. I thought about going underground and tracking down the first one, but I don't want to go back to a place where there is no light again. I have nowhere else to go, so I'd rather follow you."

"Yes, man. You have to repay what you owe me."

"..."

So Pietro decided to go to Korea with Seo Mun-yeop.

Of course, Pietro Anella also decided to resign from his position on the World Association staff, which was his original position. The Queen decided to take care of that part.

'Hehehe, I recruited a player.'

It was a recruitment of a super-special player who would not be able to show off all of his abilities because he shouldn't be found out, but even so, at least the top 3 level would be enough.

Seo Moon-yeop and Pietro boarded a plane at the airport and went back to Korea.

On the way back home, Seo Mun-yeop asked Pietro to trust him.

"What is that, when you fought the emperor, you called a commander instead of a heroic spirit."

"Yes."

"You shouldn't do that when using Heroic Strike. I'm upset."

"Isn't it okay to resurrect a corpse as an undead?"

"Did you turn? I'm a former high priest, why don't you advertise?"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I told you! Space movement, Heroic Spirit Strike! Just do two."

"It seems that there are people who recognize the blow of the Heroic Spirit."

Then I saw it.

The 7 Hero colleagues who fought together in the last dungeon would recognize the heroic blow.

Seo Moon-yeop waved his hand.

"It's okay, it's okay. You can ignore them."

Although he was a former high priest, his body was a human being. Could it be that people would raise suspicions that he was not the high priest?

Even if he felt suspicious about something, he would have wondered what the circumstances were when he saw him with Seo Mun-yeop.

korea.

After returning home, Seo Mun-yeop took Pietro home.

Of course, it was Baekje-ho's house.

"Now, this is Pietro Anella. Have you seen it before?"

"You are a member of the World Association. But why did you come here again? Didn't you come to see everything?"

Baek Je-ho felt suspicious when Seo Moon-yeop returned after a week with Pietro.

Pietro recognized Baekje Lake and said,

"At that time, he was a man who used teleportation and flirted. It bothered me like a flying insect."

"yes?"

Baekje-ho, dumbfounded.

Seo Moon-yeop decided to tell the truth to Baek Je-ho, the owner of the house.

"He is a former high priest. Do you remember the high priest?"

"What are you talking about? As for the High Priest, I only know the High Priest of the last dungeon."

"Yes, yes, that lunatic is the boy."

"···huh?"

Baek Je-ho became the face of what bullshit he was talking about.

Seo Mun-yeop explained the whole story.

Of course, he omitted the prophecies, the queen, and the emperor, and explained that he had met the undead high priest after falling into a trap.

"So you killed the brainwashed Anella and took her body as the high priest?"

"Uh, I killed all the underground people who controlled that bastard."

"Why are the underground people attacking you now?"

"I guess he was trying to get revenge."

Baek Je-ho thought that the explanation was somewhat poor.

"Isn't something big going on?"

"Honey, I hope you get into trouble too."

"Ummm..."

Baek Je-ho stared at Pietro. The Italian in front of me was the high priest, so I didn't feel like it.

"You look unbelievable."

The High Priest flicked his index finger.

Dig!

A magic circle floated in the air.

"Huh! You are the high priest!!"

Baekje-ho screamed in disgust as if almost causing a game.

He didn't say anything, but Baekje-ho had a trauma about the last dungeon.

It was the aftereffect of the constant fear of danger and the shock of losing a friend.

There was no disruption to daily life at all. If it wasn't for facing the High Priest like now.

Baekje-ho dragged Seo Mun-yeop to a remote place.

"Hey, are you asking me to live in the same house with the high priest?"

"Are you a bit nuisance?"

"No waste! I can't live with the fact that my wife is at home with the high priest!"

"Sheesh, okay. I have to go live or not."

First of all, we decided to send Pietro to YSM's clubhouse and the player's quarters.
