Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 197:
Chapter 197 – Trahnet (2)
“Professor Toppler！”
“Huh? What is it?”
Toppler heard the unusually urgent voice, so he followed suit by asking his question in an impatient manner . The day of the decision was getting closer, and it felt as if he was walking on thin ice everyday .
“Kahng-woojin went to meet Iello . ”
“What?”
Professor Toppler yelled out in surprise .
It was still too early for them to meet . No, this had never happened before . Currently, they were off the preordained path, so it made him worried and anxious .
“What has caused this change… . ”
Things weren’t going as planned . However, none of their plans had succeeded before, so it was true that Toppler felt a sense of expectancy .
Kahng-woojin was meeting Iello before he acquired his qualification .
“Please ready the Toppler’s ship . ”
“What?”
“Wouldn’t it be too dangerous?”
Toppler got up from his seat .
He had dedicated his whole life to this old research room, and he took in the whole room .
There was no longer a future on the Moon World .
If he didn’t want to miss this opportunity, he had to be in a place where he could instantly react to changes .
“I’m going to earth . ”
Professor Toppler looked to the sky as he looked at the black planet .
***
After Woojin exited the Portal, he looked over the pictures taken by his recon team . He just blinked at what he saw .
“Their number increased this much in just a day?”
“…Yes . Even the government forces stationed at Suwon was told to retreat to Pyongtaek . ”
“Hmm . ”
Woojin stroked his chin . The Seoul reflected on the screen was already a paradise for monsters . No, it wasn’t just the monsters . The place was crawling with Dimensional lords .
Amongst the Dimensional lords, he saw some familiar faces . He saw the enormous octopus named Dread, and the Golden Dragon Rajakui .
Now he was sure that the previous Dungeon Breaks in Seoul was directed by Iello .
“This guy is worse than Ibrit . ”
He saw a lot of Dimensional lords .
They were acting as middleman for controlling the monsters .
The death of great lord Iello wouldn’t stop all of this . Woojin would also have to kill the several dozen Dimensional lords under Iello .
These beings were all gathered in Seoul, and they were making preparations . It was obvious as to whom they were waiting for .
They were gunning for him .
They had all their ducks in a row to face him .
Woojin had a smile on his face as he looked at the obvious trap .
“This will push me to max level . ”
The sacrifices needed for him to reach level 99 was all present .
How could this be words of a person, who should be worried?
However, he no longer had to travel to various locations to hunt . This would make his task less laborious .
Currently, Jaemin was going all out as he continued the Dimensional Battles . Thanks to Jaemin, he was gaining a lot of Dimensional Points . Now his return to Seoul would allow him to increase his Achievement Points . He’ll be able to gain a massive amount of Points .
He’ll have enough Points to purchase the miscellaneous Ingredients using the Dimensional Store and the Achievement Store . When the battle ends, he’ll be able to gain the last Item called Thrash’s Glory .
There were two possibilities . He might gain a clue when he gathered the Thrash’s Set Items or he might gain a clue when he reached the max level of 99 .
He could feel that he was close to Thrash’s Executioner .
“We don’t need to land . I’ll be back after I finish this . ”
“Yes . Please return safely . ”
Woojin patted Minchan’s shoulder, and he walked out onto the deck .
“Oppa . ”
“Uh? Why did you come out here? I told you stay inside . ”
“I just… . ”
Woojin lifted Sooah, and he came face to face with her uncomfortable face .
“Are you ill?”
“No . ”
“Then what is it?”
“…can you not go?”
“Huh?”
“I…it’s nothing . ”
“You rascal . You should stay inside with mother . You shouldn’t come out on a whim . ”
“Yes . ”
Woojin put Sooah down, then he started walking again .
“Let’s hurry up and go, master . ”
It had been a long time, since she had stepped onto the battlefield with her master . This was why she was excited as she urged Woojin forward . By his side, the Death Knights and Lich Jaenis was making preparations as they waited .
[The end is near . ]
“Yes . ”
[If we can’t find clues to finding the Executioner… . ]
If he couldn’t gain any information after completing the two requirements… . . Woojin turned down Lich Jaenis’ worry .
“We’ll think about it when we run into that problem . ”
[Lord . ]
There was a Death Knight a head taller and bulkier than all the other knights .
“It has been awhile, since you’ve come out . How is it?”
[I just carry my master’s orders . ]
Kiba had always been left behind to guard the Dimensional Domain . It was boring work, yet Kiba didn’t show any signs of complaint . Woojin tapped Kiba on his shoulder bone before he headed towards the Blood Dragon .
[What is your wish?]
When it came down to it, the Dragon wasn’t able to grant a wish, yet it kept asking the question . It was his Dragon, who suffered under dementia .
Then there was Golem Dolsae, who had turned itself into blood for the Dragon .
“Do whatever the **** you want . Run amok to your heart’s content . ”
[It’ll be my pleasure . ]
The Blood Dragon flopped over the deck as if it was diving .
Shwahhk .
When it unfurled its wings, the enormous body descended towards Seoul .
“Let us go too . ”
[Ooh-oh!]
Woojin summoned Shing Shing, and he got on .
The Death Knights got on their own Phantom Steeds, and they jumped off the deck .
“Hoo-hooht . ”
Bibi no longer looked like a child . She summoned her staff for transportation . She’ll show everyone the true power of the Illusion Witch .
“Hoo . We’ll focus on defending our fortress . ”
“Yes, sir!”
At Minchan’s order, the employees moved in perfect order . The members of the Phantom Unit were each assigned a Wyvern, and they were placed on standby . They were readied just in case .
They weren’t going to be used in battle . The king had ordered all of them to protect the fortress .
He wanted to monopolize the EXP, but he also wanted to prepare for a possibility for a sneak attack . Sooah had to be protected .
***
“That **** is coming . ”
Iello was at the ice palace located at the center of the Thorn Tree . He looked into the sky .
“Let us rescue the contaminated earth from this most troublesome thorn . ”
As he stood up from his seat, he gave an order to the several dozen Dimensional lords, who followed him .
“Kill the Immortal . ”
They’ll kill the bastard, then Iello would find the earth’s Code .
This was the only way he’ll be able to rule over this perilous earth .
“Ooh-ohhh!”
The Gold Dragon Rajakui pushed off the roof of a building . The several Dimensional lords and the monsters capable of flight rose into the air .
Kwah-gwahng!
The Gold Dragon and the Blood Dragon crashed into each other . They rolled across the ground .
[You are too young to be able to handle the passage of time . ]
[Hoohng . You ugly ball of blood!]
Koo-oohng, koong!
The roads became a mess, and the buildings impacted by their bodies crumbled . When the Dragons started to fight, both army clashed against each other .
[My soldiers!]
[Slaughter all of them!]
All the Skeleton Soldiers and Skeleton Magicians under the Death Knights were summoned . The already chaotic battleground became much more chaotic .
“Immortal… . ”
A bitter sound forced its way out from Iello’s lips .
If the Immortal had remained as being Kahng-woojin, they could have painted a big picture together… .
If they couldn’t do it together, Iello had to make up for the other .
“I’ll kill you . ”
He’ll do it by killing him… .
“H…he’s coming！”
Kahng-woojin and the Death Knights looked angry as they descended from the sky . Lee-sahngho yelled out in fear .
“…… . ”
Zzzzzzng .
Blades made out of ice started to grow from Iello’s hands as they stacked . He formed an enormous saw blade sword .
Chwahhhk .
Iello pushed off the floor of the ice palace, and the body Iello shot up into the sky like a needle in flight .
Ggah-ah-ahng!
Woojin changed his Warrior’s Weapon into a sword, and he blocked Iello’s attacks .
Kah-ahng, gwahng!
Each attacks were increasing in strength, and the shockwaves started to ring out into the surrounding .
King of the Dead .
The Death Knight respected their King more than any other being in existence . This was why they went past Woojin to charge into the battlefield .
“B…bastards!”
Lee-sahngho pushed both his arms forward as he tried to use his Telekinesis… . .
Kwah-jeek!
“Kwahhhk！”
The crude axe passed by, and Lee-sahngho’s two arms fell to the floor . .
[Scream for me . ]
Death Knight Kiba snarled as he revealed his grotesque tusks .
[My King has arrived . ]
The royal procession was occurring, so a march had to be present .
[Scream louder for him!]
Chwahhhk!
The enormous blade of the axe sliced open his neck .
Slaughter and the screams of madness would open the path of his king .
Kiba’s axe started to dance .
The fragments of ice was sent towards him like a hailstorm, and it impacted on his defense . It was more annoying than the endless swords strikes flying towards Woojin .
“You are pretty good . ”
Iello’s transparent face moved at Woojin’s invidious remark .
“…… . ”
Woojin’s eyes narrowed when Iello refused to reply .
“Have I seen you before?”
“I won’t converse with a bastard, who lost his sense of self . ”
The only thing Iello wanted was a mortal combat .
When one gained a Dimensional Fragment, one could be revived after time passed . It would be enough . Everything will end, and everything would just turn back to the beginning .
Then he would live an eternal life as a ruler… . .
“Bullshit . ”
He had lost his sense of self?
If what he had lost was his sense of self, then he’ll make Iello lose his life .
Kwahhhhng .
The sword of Woojin and Iello started to clashed against each other again .
***
Third Gate Runway, Moon World .
“I cannot let you depart . ”
“What? Did you forget who I am?”
At Toppler’s baffled voice, the Gate Guard shook his head from side to side in a firm manner .
“Who doesn’t know about Dr . Toppler?”
“Then I want you to immediately open the Gate . Our future and lives depends on me solving this problem . ”
“If you want to use it, please receive permission from the Council . ”
“What?”
Professor Toppler’s face crumbled . The council was getting in his way .
“It doesn’t matter if you try to convince me . It would be much faster if you attend the Council meeting . ”
“…… . ”
The Gate guard was just doing his job .
“Shit . ”
Dr . Toppler changed direction, and he headed towards the Council . The walls were like windows of a green house . It was transparent . Toppler could see bright stars across the ceiling . .
He looked at the closest star .
It was a dying black planet, and the sight made his heart feel more desperate .
The soldiers guarding the Council chamber became nervous when he showed up .
“Open immediately!”
“You need permission to enter… . ”
Pshh-oong .
Before the soldiers could protest again, Toppler opened the door . He walked towards the Council chamber where he could find the council members . Twelve council members were sitting in a circle . They welcomed the professor .
“Please allow me to use the space shuttle . ”
At Toppler’s determined voice, an old council member spoke .
“You shouldn’t be going to earth, professor . We should lock you up in isolation . ”
“What?”
“You willfully went out of your way to contact the admin in charge of the deletion . ”
“…… . ”
Another council member took up the thread of the sentence . A middle aged woman with a sharp face spoke . She didn’t hide her anger .
“You dared to scheme such dangerous plans without our knowledge . ”
“This is for the survival of the Moon World！”
“Huh . You want to revive the **** of Destruction for our survival?”
“It is possible… . ”
Kah-ahng!
A middle-aged man with red hair sat in middle seat . He slammed his hand on the table .
“Speaker Shelt… . ”
“Your theory has merit, but the risk is too high . ”
Yes, it was true .
This was why he had a plan, but he hadn’t received permission to carry it out .
Professor Toppler had secretly attempted to carry his plan . He had attempted to contact Kahng-woojin away from the eyes of the Council members, because they opposed his plan .
“It is possible to carry out this plan! There is no point in supporting the Recovery Admin . We are just wasting our time . ”
When Professor Toppler spoke with fire, Speaker Shelt tried to convince him with a calm voice . Toppler’s ability was undeniable, but his actions tended to be extreme at times .
“We can shore up the shortcomings in the professor’s plan, and we can implement it next time . I’m sure it won’t be too late to do so . ”
Professor Toppler’s face was filled with despair at the Speaker’s words .
Did the Moon World have a future?
Their resources were almost depleted, and they couldn’t survive under their own efforts .
The fear was preventing them from stepping forward, and they might die in place .
“We might not have another chance if we don’t act right now!”
“The professor’s rash actions had already caused a change . ”
Kahng-woojin hadn’t acquired all the keys, yet he had met Iello . The result of this meeting couldn’t be predicted, so everyone in the Council had their nerves on edge .
“For a short amount of time, let us place the professor in isolation . ”
At the Speaker’s declaration, the soldiers grabbed both of Toppler’s arms .
“It isn’t a threat . This is an opportunity . ”
“Just because the horse is exhausted doesn’t mean we have to climb atop a lion . ”
They wanted to be rescued… .
He was still the Moon World’s only hope . A despairing Toppler was dragged away, and the Speaker spoke into the microphone to finalize the decision made by the council .
“Please send Leone’s ship to earth . Please help Iello achieve victory . ”
The large number of Reset was proof . They had to do as they always do… .
