ALL NOVEL Episode 168
“I have nothing more to offer you.”
There is only something to receive.
The Lord of Heroes spoke, and the Lords of Man on the throne remained silent.
Coo!
And the ‘Throne of the End’, where meteors, humans, and countless other monarchs were silent, began to tremble.
An intangible whirlpool swirled, and the monarchs who claimed to be the kings of humans rose up.
War Steel Flame Assassin Hell Nightmare The embodiment of all the overflowing tragedies and evils built up by human hands in the human world.
In the game world, there were no easy-to-understand transcendents or evil gods who looked down on and mocked humans.
Because they themselves were the evil of the world.
“Human life was the life of a demon lord and a vampire, a soldier, an assassin, and a dictator.”]
War, starvation, fire, destruction, demon lords, vampires, soldiers, and assassins...
The crystallization of all the negativity and darkness that humans had built up was there. there was.
Furthermore, there were monarchs who were swallowed up in front of the karma accumulated by humans and became subordinate to the will of humans.
［Countless monarchs pledge their loyalty before the ‘overlord’!］
Humans have always been like that.
As always, when those in power decide and execute war, it is not they who carry it out. It is always the elusive ‘war heroes’ who develop and implement plausible strategies and plans on the table.
Sigh!
[The Assassin Lord
assigns the ‘Mark of Death’ to the Lord of Heroes!]
At the same time, a familiar skill was assigned to the meteor. As soon as I thought I had been designated, an indescribable feeling of death rushed down my spine.
[The Lord of Light assigns ‘that dazzling glow’ to the Lord of Heroes!]
Then, light swirled around. A debuff skill that reduces the evasion rate and drastically reduces the magic efficiency of invisibility and stealth.
It was the undoubted power of the skill cards that made up this game, and they also had powerful effects that were directly overwritten by the hand of the ‘Monarch'.
When I was a player, it was a strength that I thought was bestowed upon me by transcendental beings above.
And that immeasurable force.] It was hurtling towards the shooting star with clear malicious intent.
It illuminated the Lord of Heroes like a prey shining brightly alone in the den of its enemies.
“Kill the hero.”]
[The human monarch announces.]
And as if driving a wedge into the growling hounds, the human monarch declared. Before
he
could finish his words, a shadow rushed out of the darkness. The blade in the shadow's hand swung towards the shooting star. It was two blades.
Kaang!
That's why Yooseong quickly
sharpened the blade of the winter night and deflected his sword. After throwing it away, I raised my head.
[Warning: The Assassin Lord attacks the ‘Lord of Heroes’!]
“When did you give me your power just because you said it was okay, and now you come and stab me in the back?”
Facing him was a shadow wearing the robes of an assassin lord and holding two blades. However, apart from the two blades he was holding in his hands, dozens and hundreds of dark weapons were spinning around him
.
“The history of man is the history of death and assassins.”]
Ouch!
And the hundreds of blades were scattered all at once.
I felt a murderous intent that took my breath away.
A clear death that even the ruler of heroes could not escape hung over there. And I was able to realize it.
The lord there was an assassin lord and at the same time a ‘lord of death’.
The inevitable death that sent a chill down his spine was passing by Yooseong like the wind.
Mortal death, as inevitable as it once was to suffocate an immortal lord, is now designated for the ‘Lord of Heroes'.
“No one can avoid death.”]
“No strong hero
can escape from the assassin’s blade.”]
....
A fear of death that had never been felt before enveloped the Lord of Heroes. .
“There is no place to hide anywhere! Because our light will watch over you until the end!”]
[The Lord of Light amplifies the cursed glow towards the ‘Lord of Heroes’!]
Until now, there have been monarchs who have blessed shooting stars, and there have been blatantly malicious intentions from the beginning. There were also monarchs who exposed themselves. But that didn't matter anymore.
“Kill the hero.”]
The voice rang out again.
The one who reigned at the highest point of the tower was not an evil spirit that was easy to understand. No, it wasn't even God.
They were just humans.
And in front of the commands of those humans, the transcendent ones who claim to be immortal and mock humans, the literal ‘gods'.] They bowed their heads in loyalty.
Willing to become a soldier carrying out their war.
All I could do was laugh out loud.
At the same time, a fire burned in the darkness that fell over the area. The Fire Lord struck down the flame of destruction with a flame that seemed as if it would burn the entire world.
The flames were overwhelming, as if hundreds or thousands of nuclear weapons had been dropped.
After the flames of destruction swirled around, soldiers in military uniforms were there.
Hundreds of fighter bombers roamed the sky, dropping various air-to-ground weapons, and soldiers began to advance.
Skeleton knights wearing swords, shields, and armor were there. Afterwards, the dead holding the standard rifles of each country aimed their rifles, and sometimes people were seen holding not assault rifles but old-fashioned matchlocks such as muskets.
“Human history is the history of war.”]
Literally immeasurable scenes of the battlefield were overlaid on the exact spot where the flames of apocalypse were falling endlessly.
Soldiers dressed in all kinds of clothing, from the ancient, medieval, and modern times, advanced, and before the infantry could even reach the heroic monarch, they were swept away by the swirling misfire of friendly fighter-bombers and destroyed.
But it didn't matter how many infantrymen died or fell.
The war never ends. Because it was truly the source of all the tragedies and evils that human history had endlessly piled up.
Warlord.
Just as we thought the infantry had been swept away by a misfire and disappeared, hundreds of tanks began rushing through the storm of flames. Similarly, regardless of era or nationality, everything ranges from a Roman chariot led by four horses to a German tank destroyer (Jagdpanzer) during World War II.
The tank's gun barrels were spewing fire, and all kinds of weapons were still raining down bombs from the sky.
“Kill the hero.”]
Meanwhile, ‘assassins’ rushed in amidst the swirling flames and hellfire.
Just to kill one hero.
“Oh yeah. Humans do like war. “I just pick out all the things I’m told not to do and do them.”
nevertheless.
“No matter how much the hero special forces pour on them, they are still fine.”
The Lord of Heroes was there.
Sigh!
The sword of the winter night was swung against the swords of the onslaught of assassins that embodied his death. It was not just a simple cold sword.
It was the sword of the Heavenly Demon.
A meaningless absolute being with no meaning to any strongman, swordsman, sword, or force.
The Lord of Heroes raised his head, holding his sword towards the Lord of Men.
Facing all the evil that the humans who tried to kill him had built up.
“Are you all the evil of Sessing?”
The hero asked back.
Counting the images of transcendental beings built up by humans in front of him and loyal to them.
Fire and destruction war and death assassin.
On the contrary, my mind was strangely clear. There was no ambiguity or blurred boundaries, no distinction between good and evil.
“...the world always likes an ending that is easy to understand.”
And now, there were easy-to-identify ‘villains’ in front of the hero.
Villains trying to kill heroes.
It didn't matter how powerful and mighty they were, how huge they were that they couldn't even dare to touch.
“Lord of men and all the evil they have built up.”
The Lord of Heroes adjusted the Sword of Winter Night in his hand and declared quietly.
Keeping an eye on all the evil built up by humans that stands in his way.
At the same time, they look up to the human monarchs in power who decide and execute the war and never move on their own.
“Don’t waste time, just attack.”
“Kill the hero.”]
With those words, flames swirled around again. And in front of the swirling flames, the Lord of Heroes opened his mouth.
“I will raise the stage right here and now.”]
[The Lord of Heroes and the ‘Lord of Clowns’ unleashes his power!]
“I don’t know if everyone is watching.” And I could feel it. The power to influence the ‘Tower of Man' through the power of the Clown Lord and force them to turn into audience members on stage.
The people of the world were watching the truth unfold from the throne at the end.
“You understand nothing.”
It didn't matter whether they understood the truth or not. I didn't even expect that to be possible.
“They just want a hero who will take on all the suffering for them, and when a hero becomes useless, they throw it away like a dog after the hunt. “The meaningless sacrifices of heroes
end here.”
That is why the King of Heroes spoke in front of the humans, monarchs, and kings of humans who were watching him.
“If you humans continue to want the sacrifice of heroes, from now on ‘sacrifice’ will be your responsibility.”] [
The Lord of Heroes speaks in front of all humans.]
“You are the one who determines the will of humans. “No, hero.”]
And one of the human monarchs looking down at the shooting star answered coldly.
“Then are you the representative who decides human will?”
Yoosung answered without heeding anything.
Rulers who rule the human world and have the greatest power in the human world. It didn't matter who sat there. What is important is the location itself.
And the ‘human monarchs' who were looking down at the shooting star there were beings who symbolized the throne of power itself.
“From now on you have two decisions to make.”
The King of Heroes said, looking up at the human monarch.
“Either the high-ranking people there sacrifice, or ‘all humans’ except the high-ranking people sacrifice.”]
Two decisions.
“I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of noblesse oblige.”
And when that decision was declared in front of ‘all humans', it was just one of the endlessly repeated events in human history.
It was a collapse of power.
