Chapter Title: Logos's Fury
-----------------------------------------------------------------
At that moment.
In the Demon Realm, modeled after the Divine Realm.
Logos couldn't contain his rage and wildly destroyed the dimensions under his command.
.
The subordinates managing that dimension prostrated themselves, not daring to even lift their heads.
Logos, how about we call it there?
The one trying to restrain him was none other than Armageddon.
Armageddon, who hadn't made any moves since sealing Tenebris, had suddenly come to find Logos.
Shut up! You damn bastards, daring to oppose me?!
You know theyre trying to capture us and throw us into Avici Hell.
Those punks? Did they not learn after failing once already?
Either way, the problem is why that Divine Realm opened.
Armageddon had seen everything through the divine relic he bestowed upon Escannon.
And he had confirmed that Uriel, the Archangel, had subdued that very Escannon.
So who exactly had opened the Divine Realm they were in?
Youre not saying a human opened the Divine Realm, are you?
Then who else?
Youre sure?
Yeah.
Armageddon had been watching one particular human with interest through Escannon.
A human who had pulled off one unbelievable feat after another.
And that human had suddenly opened the Divine Realm, Uriel had stepped out with him, and the connection cut off.
Afterward, Escannon had been captured by Uriel and completely stripped of his authority over Earth and New World.
No answer for that. Looks like theyre using that dimension as a base to catch us.
It wont be easy. They cant enter our Demon Realm.
As holy beings, they couldnt set foot in the Demon Realm teeming with demonic energy.
It was originally a prison devoid of demonic energy, but they had corrupted the power bestowed by the gods, creating a new force.
A power only they could wield, one that allowed them to stand against the gods.
This power had grown by destroying dimensions and devouring their souls.
Their ultimate goal was to seize the Divine Realm and claim the throne of ruler.
So theyre pushing a human forward.
Probably.
Opening the Divine Realm meant their power had dwelled in that human.
Then we need to make sure that human cant find Tenebris.
Tenebris.
Once thought to share the same ideals.
But when it was revealed he was a spy for the Divine Realm, he was mercilessly punished and sealed away.
Originally planned for annihilation, but he had deliberately discarded the Divine Realms power and walked their path, so annihilation failed.
They had planned to revisit annihilation later, but due to his prior preparations, the seals location kept shifting endlessly.
His existence was completely concealed, making even tracking impossible.
No. Wouldnt it be better if he finds him?
Why?
We cant find him right now. But if that guy contacts the human?
Ah! Then we could catch Tenebris easily.
Exactly.
Hmm, then we should prepare for that human crossing over.
At the same time.
Jeong Hoon arrived underground.
The underground area was sealed tight with iron bars, and beyond them lay an adult male bound and collapsed.
NPC Information
-Nickname: Ross
-Level: 330
-Job: Android Factory Apprentice Worker
It was Ross, the one Theo had been looking for.
Jeong Hoon bent the iron bars with brute force and entered.
Looks like he hasnt eaten anything for days.
He was dehydrated and exhausted, barely drinking water.
Jeong Hoon used Divine Healing on him.
His complexion quickly stabilized, and his closed eyes snapped open.
Huh?
Are you coming around?
W-Who are you?
I came at Theos request. He contacted me because you hadnt returned after so long.
Ah I see.
Cannot cut ropes below Level 450.
The ropes binding Ross.
Specially made ropes that couldnt be cut without sufficient level.
Ah, so thats why people said the Atlas first quest gets stuck right away?
The quest started via the stations guidance.
-This is bullshit
-Why offer help if its like this
-What do you do when your levels too low to cut the rope lololol
-Doesnt even make sense dont ever start it.
Most couldnt cut the ropes due to low level.
Thats why users warned each other not to take the note from the station.
Of course, it didnt apply to Jeong Hoon.
He snapped the ropes effortlessly and helped Ross to his feet.
But why did this happen to you?
Ha Its all because of that damn Raparo.
Raparos?
Raparos was the lab owner.
Why would the owner bind Ross, who just delivered goods?
Yes. He was researching a new android. A really destructive one.
A destructive one?
Yes. Will you follow me?
Ahead of Ross was a door sealed not with bars, but solidly locked.
It couldnt be opened by forceonly with a password.
Ross entered the password and opened the door.
How did you know the password?
Oh, usually when I visit to deliver goods, Raparos is always absent. So I input it myself, leave the item, and go.
I see.
Yeah. Anyway, lets go in.
Jeong Hoon nodded and followed Ross inside.
Unlike the exterior that looked ready to collapse, the underground was state-of-the-art and impeccably clean.
At that moment, gunfire erupted, and countless bullets rained toward Jeong Hoon.
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!
Using Barrier of Light.
Jeong Hoon quickly activated Barrier of Light to block the bullets.
The bullets couldnt even scratch his barrier, and Rosss eyes trembled as he watched.
N-No way.
Hey, you.
Jeong Hoon shot Ross a cold glare.
Rosss shoulders flinched.
W-Why are you looking at me like that?
How many people have you lured in like this?
Huh?
Didnt expect you to fake malnutrition too.
In truth, Jeong Hoon had suspected Ross from the moment he input the password.
An apprentice knowing the labs password?
It was suspicious no matter how you looked at it.
His suspicion hit the markRosss info slowly changed.
NPC Information
-Nickname: Raparos
-Level: 330
-Job: Android Developer
So it was Raparos, not Ross.
Then what happened to the real Ross that Theo was looking for?
Quicker on the uptake than you look.
Unlike you, who has zero brains.
What?
Offended, Raparos scowled.
The trap you triggered did nothing to me. What does that mean?
.
Wheres the real Ross?
Oh, that idiot? Obviously became my precious nourishment.
With Rapaross words, an android robot dashed over and lunged at Jeong Hoon.
Jeong Hoon punched its face.
Boom!
Overwhelming damagethe robot exploded on the spot.
Youre not saying this robot was him, right?
Uh.
Raparos was speechless.
The robot Jeong Hoon just destroyed was Level 1,500.
Even at his own Level 1,200, he thought it would be too much, but it ended in one hit.
My masterpiece taken down so easily.
It was devastating.
Now its your turn?
But he had no time to despair.
The monster who one-shot a Level 1,500 robot was now approaching him.
Raparos backed away, legs giving out, and collapsed.
S-Sorry.
He had to survive first.
With that thought, Raparos slammed his forehead to the ground.
So wheres Ross?
T-Thats.
Raparos fidgeted, dodging the answer.
You said he became nourishment? So you killed him?
.
Silence meant affirmation.
Jeong Hoon sighed and added,
Whyd you kill him?
To use as an experimental subject.
Experimental subject?
Rapaross experiments were gruesome.
While researching androids, he created one robot.
What he needed in the process was the mana humans possessed.
The heart, richest in mana.
When a decent human showed up in that situation, Raparos killed him for the heart and built the Level 1,500 robot.
And that robot was helplessly destroyed by Jeong Hoon.
I-I mustve lost my mind.
Ill give you options.
Options?
Die by my hand here? Or go to the city and confess your crimes?
If not for the quest, hed have killed him on the spot and left.
But after extracting the confession, an exclamation mark blinked above his head.
He had confirmed Rosss fate as Theo requested, completing the quest.
General Quest: Confession
-Restriction: Subdue Raparos
-Reward: 10,000,000 EXP Random Item Box
-Description: Make Raparos confess his crimes.
The next quest was to drag Raparos to the city and make him confess publicly.
I-Ill confess.
Not wanting to die, he readily agreed to confess.
What a joke. Doesnt want to die himself but kills others?
Trash. Maybe torture him until he begs for death.
Mukho and Anima fumed.
Ill leave that to them.
Jeong Hoons role was just to hand over the guilty Raparos.
At that moment.
Theo had stepped out and was puffing on a cigarette.
Ha, kid. Did I send him on something pointless?
Ross, whod only been there four months.
Yet he learned fast, worked diligently, and fit Theo perfectly.
Young, never shied from dirty work, so Theo taught him with affection.
But he assigned him to deliver a coil to Rapaross lab, and two weeks later, no return.
Ah, the coil arrived fine.
The goods were delivered normally, so why hadnt Ross returned?
The answer came only when the outsider returned.
D-Dead?
Exactly. This guy killed him for his experiments.
Haha, no way Raparos would do that?
Theo looked at Raparos in disbelief.
As if questioning if the outsiders words were true.
Raparos nodded frantically, trembling.
Y-Yeah I killed him.
Hah, you threatening him right now? Why would Raparos kill someone!
Even with the confession, Theo didnt believe.
I figured youd say that, so I brought Rosss body. Open it.
Yes.
When the outsider returned, Raparos was carrying a coffin.
Raparos opened it, revealing Rosss coldly stiffened corpse inside.
R-Ross!
Theo rushed to check.
But the deceased Ross gave no response.
Its been about two weeks since death. Still not believing me?
Only after seeing the body did Theo believe Jeong Hoon.
He glared murderously at Raparos and demanded,
Raparos, why the hell did you kill him?
S-Sorry. I lost my mind temporarily for the experiment Ack!
Raparos tried to excuse himself in a trembling voice, but his words didnt finish.
Experiment? You killed a man for some damn experiment?!
Theo exploded in rage, grabbing Raparos by the collar.
Hey! Theo, whats going on?
The guy who went out for a smoke, why the commotion!
Huh?
Ross?
The noise drew factory workers out one by one, who froze upon seeing Rosss cold corpse.
