Chapter 48

‘It’s been a while . ’

Hansoo mumbled quietly as he watched the flaming environment around him .

The third floor which imitated the .

They called it the Red Zone because it used red energy .

But there were other reasons as well .

An eternally blazing world that had received the punishment of the gods .

And that was why it was called the Red Zone .

‘Erviang… this was your world huh . ’

He didn’t’ know back then .

Even right before the invasion of the Abyss .

‘We were just frogs in a well . ’

But he, after getting through the Abyss, knew now .

How the Otherworld which was comprised of seven colored zones was structured .

If such a thing called a God existed then it was really a vicious thing . Humanity was a very lucky race if you take into account what happened to Erviang’s race, who were space-time travelers .

Hansoo shook his head .

‘It’s not time to get emotional . ’

This was just a fake which copied the Red Zone .

It didn’t even have half of the dangers .

‘Shall I go . ’

This guy will probably be stuck at .

He just needed to end him there .

Hansoo continued his steps through the flaming landscape .

…………………………………………… .

“It’s amazing . ”

Everyone who was advancing faithfully under the orders of Wongyung swirled their tongues around .

Everything in their surroundings was burning .

The strange-looking buildings which belonged to some other race were blazing and numerous beasts were moving between the buildings without end .

‘Damn… all of the area on the third floor shouldn’t be like this right?’

That was not even reasonable .

It wasn’t to the point where they were getting burned to death but the non-stop heat kept attacking their throats and lungs .

And the beasts that charged at them were so strong that even his clansmen were barely blocking them .

Due to the whole environment burning there wasn’t any water to drink either .

One of two things will happen at this rate .

Either die from the beasts or die from dehydration .

‘…The world outside the tutorial is always like this?’

The fairy had told them .

That the third floor was like a glimpse of the world outside of the tutorial .

And added something else too .

At first he was really relieved .

Since even he wasn’t comfortable with the fairy who brought evil rules endlessly .

But he was slowly realizing something .

‘…It’s not like it’s not interfering but more like it doesn’t need to interfere?’

If it was such a harsh environment to the point where they didn’t need to interfere then they simply wouldn’t .

Since they will die by themselves .

Wongyung, who had been advancing through the dried up landscape, shook his head .

‘There’s no way . ’

There was no way that they would leave them all to die .

Wongyung was confident .

The strongest power in all of the Tower was him .

If a power like his was suffering this much then all of the others might just die out .

There was no way that they would’ve set the difficulty so .

Kudududuk

‘First advance forward . ’

Wongyung solidified his thoughts as he advanced .

And soon a giant Cross appeared in his view .

“…What is that?”

“Isn’t it pretty?”

The fairy, which had appeared without anyone noticing, babbled .

Wongyung slightly frowned at those words .

It was a disgusting-looking cross even at a single glance .

And on that cross, human faces were coming out and going back into it non-stop .

Like people who were trapped within a giant cloth .

And then Wongyung rubbed his eyes after seeing an extremely familiar face .

“… . Huh?”

The fairy smiled as it spoke .

“Can you see some familiar faces?”

“…”

Wongyung ignored the fairy’s words as he inspected the cross after walking closer to it .

And then made a expression of fear .

“Is this cross…”

“Mmm… I don’t know what you’re thinking about but shall we say it’s right? Heehee . Correct! All the information of those who died in the tutorial are in there! Oh my . Two were just added . ”

Wongyung slightly closed the gaps of his eyes .

“But what is the meaning of this?”

He knew that it was definitely disgusting .

But what did this mean to them .

“Reflect our actions while looking at the dead?”

The fairy shook its head .

“The cross will look very very pretty after you hear my words . ”

“…?”

“That is the Cross of Reincarnation! You can revive someone of those who participated in the tutorial who had died!”

Wongyung made a expression of fright .

They did look like beings close to gods .

But for them to be able to effect those who had already died .

“What is this nonsense… Can you guys even control the dead?”

The fairy smirked .

“That’s a bit too hard at our level . It’s just a copy that we brought on the way here . ”

“… a copy?”

“Yes . We made a copy of all of you when you came here and saved it within that cross . And that cross uses that as the base to create a copy . ”

“…”

While Wongyung’s eyes were flickering the fairy made a smile as if it knew that would happen and spoke .

“Though it’s a copy, their strength and memory will be the same as the real one before they came to this side . Woudln’t this be amazing if it’s a loved one? Heeheehee . ”

“It can revive the dead?”

Wongyung’s hands trembled .

‘…Really?’

Wongyung’s memories rewinded at an extreme speed .

The reason why he had came to despise other Lords .

This was all because of that guy he had met in the start .

Actually there was somebody else who had manifested the power of a Lord before Wongyung in the 1st tutorial area .

And that guy had taken control of his daugher with the symbol and played around with her then killed her by using her as a shield during a dangerous moment .

How much he had despaired over this .

He had created a much bigger power after he had manifested his power as a Lord .

Since his psychic power was much greater than that guy’s .

And he thought after ripping that guy to shreds .

That the reason why he was given this psychic power was a sign from the heavens to rip apart all those other Lords .

And one more thing .

He needed a lot of strength .

Why?

He needed much more strength than he has now in order to find him .

Since his son would be much further ahead than him if he was alive .

He couldn’t catch up the 5-year gap to his son with some average amount of power .

He basically needed strength to plow through and advance forward .

It didn’t matter to him if his actions were something that would cause him to get cursed by others .

Since the ones who curse him aren’t the ones who would find his son for him .

Everything was playing out very well .

But for such a thing to happen to him!

Wongyung touched the cross with trembling hands .

As soon as his hands touched it, thousands of people who had died in the tutorial appeared in front of his eyes .

And many of those who had died by his clans existed as well .

But that didn’t matter .

Since his only interest was his daughter .

While he was flipping through the catalogue, his daughter Ahee came into his eyes .

“Ahh…ahhhhh . ”

Wongyung shed tears of joy .

He could revive Ahee!

Without any memories of pain, with the body and memory before she had come here!

Though her body would be weak, that did not matter .

He just needed to protect her .

‘Thank you . God . Thank you . ’

Wongyung asked the fairy in a hurry .

“How can I revive them?”

The fairy smirked as it spoke .

“Simple . Just put someone in here . ”

The fairy pointed towards the bottom of the giant cross .

A deep hole that looked like a grave .

“What?”

“You need ingredients in order to make something new . Put someone else in for the person coming out . It’s pretty simple that way . ”

Wongyung hurriedly looked around .

He just needed to put the weakest one in .

Then there will be no problems .

At his orders, a guy who had been panting from an injury slowly dragged his body and walked towards the hole beneath the cross .

While Wongyung was rejoicing at that sight, sounds of the fairy clicking its tongue were heard .

“Nono . Can’t do that . You can’t do that . You can’t use a clansman . It becomes too easy then . We didn’t want to see something like that . You can’t use tricks . ”

“What!!!! What do you want!!!!”

Wongyung screamed out unknowningly .

The fairy smiled coyly as it spoke:

“It’s not that hard . You just need to put someone else who isn’t part of your clan in here . Then your daughter lives too . How good is it? Hehehehee . It’s really chaotic in other places about now but it’s a problem here because it’s all one clan . Ah . Another one added to the cross . ”

Wongyung despaired at these words .

How would he find somebody in his deserted land .

Wongyung asked the fairy just in case .

“Damn… Is there another chance like this in the future?”

He didn’t believe that only they will be on the path from now on .

If they meet others then they could just catch them then revive Ahee after inserting them into the Cross they will find later .

The fairy shook its head .

“No . This is the end of the privilege . Chances don’t come that easily right? As we see it, it’s not fun when people have leisure . You need to be a bit of a crisis . If you leave after visiting this place once then you can’t use it again . ”

“Goddaaamitttt!”

Wongyung spat out a scream of despair .

They were already behind because they had to gather all their clansmen who were spread all around .

The people who had started off were probably going through some other path somewhere else .

And what would a person with some basic sense think when they see the view of the third floor .

Would they go around some roundabout way and group up with other people in some other starting point?

Or would they think to go through his hell-like place by themselves .

And they couldn’t wait forever in this place .

Since they couldn’t get anything to eat or drink in these blazing plains .

He couldn’t send out his clansmen when he didn’t know what could happen from now on .

But then Wongyung’s expression turned cold .

‘Maybe . ’

He didn’t know what was ahead but he had somewhat organized on the way here from the starting point .

If he send some clansmen to wait in the starting point then some random guys might pop out .

And then he just needed to catch them before they went into other paths .

At that moment one of his clansmen shouted loudly .

“Lord! Somebody is coming this way over there!”

“What?”

Wongyung opened his eyes wide and looked towards the starting point .

And he could see a person walking towards them from the starting point .

‘How could this be . Thank you . Oh god . ’

Wongyung, who wasn’t even religious, prayed to god .

No, there was no way such a thing would happen if there was no god .

God had given him the power to find his son and a chance to revive his daughter .

If god isn’t looking after him then what was this?

Soon Wongyung’s mind which was filled with glee calmed down .

That guy couldn’t run away after seeing this place .

Definitely not .

He had to catch him no matter what and throw him under the grave .

Since that was the only way to save his daughter .

‘I don’t know who you are… but thank you . ’

“Catch him!”

As soon as his order came down, his clansmen charged towards the man walking towards them from afar .

…………………………………………… . .

Hansoo quietly mumbled inwardly as he looked at the people charging at him .

‘Dark Mad Lord . First rate Dark Lord . ’

The sins he had caused were too many to list .

Of cause this was all a thing of the past .

His situation? He knew too well .

Since he had heard all of his screams of despair before he died .

He knew why he hated Lords, why he tried to increase his strength crazily and how he had become a first rate Dark Lord .

He had to leave behind his daughter here because he couldn’t find some other non-clansman here .

And he, who had been enraged by this, caused a massacre in the tutorial due to the urgent thoughts of him having to find his one remaining son .

He had done so until now but in greater amounts from this point onwards .

And he had caught up the gap of 5 years but went crazy after finding out that his son had died and then flipped the Otherworld upside down .

As if he was trying to relieve the rage against the world which had killed his son and daughter by venting it on the inhabitants of the world .

His circumstances were regrettable but it could not excuse him for the things he had done so far .

‘But you won’t feel unfair from this . Since you will get to revive your daughter if you win here . ’

He had come to the Dark Mad Lord and the Dark Mad Lord had come to kill him .

It wouldn’t be bad for him .

Since if the Dark Mad Lord won in this fight, he would be able to use him as a sacrifice to revive his daughter .

That was all he needed .

And soon his Justice and Judgement of Dekrados exploded out with his body as the center .
