Episode 229
229. Episode 229
“Mr. Se-un, what the heck was that just now… … .”
It happened in an instant.
The crimson wolf, created by the light of the stigmata, swallowed the remaining body of the outer in one bite.
The outerwear wasn’t too small either.
Although it was said that a lot of them were destroyed, it was difficult to swallow even a large monster in one bite.
Not only did a wolf appear that large, but as soon as it swallowed the outer, the wolf’s form disappeared as if it were a lie.
However, the reason everyone was surprised wasn’t just because of the wolf’s size.
‘That look just now… … .’
As if it had just emerged from a swamp, a dark red liquid dripped from its body, and its bloodshot eyes. Sharp fangs were revealed between them.
Although there were some subtle differences, its appearance was typically that of a host being consumed by an outer being.
‘Could it be that the Outer wasn’t destroyed, but rather absorbed?’
When the power of the stigmata was used, the outer body disappeared with a burning sound.
So, of course, I thought of it as a concept of ‘extinction’, but it seems that’s not the case.
Didn’t you just send a message saying ‘thirst for food’?
I’m not sure yet, but judging by the appearance of the wolf that just came to mind… … .
‘Is my stigma growing by absorbing the outer?’
At that moment, my head became complicated.
The goal was to completely destroy the Outer, but the Stigmata was absorbing the Outer and growing stronger.
Of course, the appearance was subtly different from the outer, but that wasn’t something to be taken lightly.
Perhaps, the reason why Stigmata has sealed his powers until now is because he thought he wouldn’t be able to handle Seun’s Outer’s power?
Se-Woon, who was thinking like that, soon shook his head.
‘The fact that the seal was released means that I have judged that I can handle that power.’
Otherwise, the seal wouldn’t have been suddenly released.
That is, if you continue to increase your strength so as not to be consumed by the power of the stigmata… … it means that you can control even the power of the outer.
Control barbarians with barbarians.
Didn’t they say that barbarians should be treated like barbarians?
Even if this is truly the power of the Outer, if you can control it properly, there is no other ally as dependable as this one.
“Is it over now?”
Kang Han-cheol came up to me and asked.
As the situation cleared up, Baekhyun also landed his manticore and approached.
The twin sisters were just now holding Se-woon’s right hand and examining the stigmata, wondering what that was.
One thing I realized during the battle was that the outer ones just now were gathering their strength to attack Seun.
So it was right to think that all the remaining outers had joined forces, but it was impossible to be certain.
While I was thinking about what to say to Kang Han-cheol’s question, fortunately, a system message answered it for me.
– Completed the hidden quest in the underground bunker, ‘Unstable End’, by ‘Annihilation’ method.
– All clan members of ‘Diablo’ who participated in the quest will receive 100,000 points of personal merit.
– Achieved the highest contribution in the hidden quest, ‘Unstable End’.
– You will receive an additional 500,000 points of public service.
“I guess it’s over.”
“I guess so.”
The end of the quest given by the king.
The king’s mission was to secure food and a safe zone.
Among them, since food had already been secured, the fact that the quest had been completed meant that a safe zone had been secured.
The fact that this land was not treated as a safe zone in the first place was the fault of the Outers, so this means that the quest has ended with all the Outers gone.
As the system message said, in the manner of ‘annihilation’.
– A linked quest, ‘Reconstruction’, has been created due to the completion of the hidden quest.
– Would you like to accept it?
As soon as I understood the content, a new quest came to mind.
There was only a simple title, ‘Reconstruction’. There were no detailed contents, but the content was easy to guess.
“Should we go down to the underground bunker first?”
Seun accepted the linked quest and turned towards the entrance of the underground bunker.
* * *
As soon as he received the linked quest and went down to the underground bunker, Seun received a lot of people’s expectations.
That would be the case, because Se-Woon had clearly stated when he left the bunker this time that he would return next time only after securing a safe zone.
Seun nodded in response to the people’s expectations, and soon the underground bunker was filled with cheers from the people.
And after a while, when all the citizens’ previous preparations were finished, the people in the underground bunker, starting with the king, began to come up to the surface one by one.
“Wow… … !”
“This is the ground!”
“How long has it been since I had this refreshing air!”
People cheering and taking deep breaths.
In fact, the ground was still covered in dust from the impact of the meteorite fragments, so the sunlight could not shine through properly.
Naturally, the dust was spread throughout the air, and the air quality was also not good.
Still, people’s reactions were amazing.
Some people took deep breaths with their arms wide open, while others touched the dusty ground with care.
Some people were so shocked that they looked up at the dim sun and shed tears.
The same was true for the king.

“Really… … Really, this is the earth. I’ve finally been able to breathe the air of the earth again, something I thought would be impossible in my time… … .”
He even kneels on the dusty floor.
Even the courtiers who would normally be terrified and wake up the king are now, at this very moment, enjoying the world with their souls free.
Well, that can’t be helped.
Before Seun returned, the people of this fourth shelter were never able to come up to the surface.
Probably, until the tower was destroyed by the outer.
“Gentlemen! Don’t lose your mind and help me out!”
“If you don’t want to sleep out today, hurry up! Hurry up!”
The twin sisters who had been preparing their residence in advance shouted at the people.
Since the basic framework had already been prepared, it seemed like it would be completed quickly if only the labor force was provided.
People put aside their emotions for a moment and rushed toward the construction phenomenon.
As this was where they would be staying in the future, everyone’s eyes were shining with hope, even though they were going to work.
“When you are somewhat ready, you can just bring the things from the underground garden.”
“Ah, that’s right. That’s right.”
At Se-un’s words, the king stood up from his seat, wiping away his tears.
He is the king.
You have to be able to control your emotions and lead people before others.
“But to plant the seeds… … it will take a long time.”
The king looked around.
The heat from the meteorite fragments that fell blackened the ground, and a tsunami occurred, mixing salt into the ground.
Even the condition of the ground was close to the worst because of the dust that had accumulated afterwards.
But the condition of the land is the same as that of the continent.
Because of that, it was a priority to become independent here first, rather than on the continent where monsters that survived the meteorite still remained.
Even so, because the land was like this, we had to work day and night to improve the soil for a while.
“Oh, I can help with that.”
“No. I can’t ask you to do something that I don’t know how long it will take.”
“It won’t take long. As long as it’s limited to this island.”
“It’s mostly submerged in the sea now, but it’s still where our Hopen stood. Even for you, it’ll be impossible to get there right away.”
The Last Castle, Hoppen.
As the king said, the island was large.
It would be nearly impossible for an average person to cultivate all the island’s soil in a short period of time.
No, that would definitely be impossible.
But Seun was different.
– The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Earthquake ]
– A magical flower of the seismograph symbolizing the Yellow Pagoda. It causes ‘earthquakes’, one of the primordial disasters.
Kugugugu-
Six circles rotate furiously.
Seun’s mana spreads out around him, and the ground begins to tremble.
In particular, the brown mana circle containing the secrets of the Yellow Tower exudes mana like a fish in water.
“Hey, brother! Be careful!”
The twin sisters shouted at Seun, but he had already thought about that much.
By blocking the flow of mana, you avoid the place where the ‘Last Castle, Hopen’ is being built.
He pours out all the mana he has, designates a large radius that he can see, and begins to turn the ground upside down in earnest.
Kukukukukuku-!
The range and power are on a whole other level than the ‘Ground Wave’ that Seun had previously used.
The power was not simply enough to cause the earth to shake.
“Hey, the ground!”
The ground splits open, and the surface soil falls down along with the dust on the ground.
If there had been any life up there, it would have fallen helplessly into the endless abyss.
Conversely, soil hidden deep in the ground is pulled up to the surface.
Clean soil without dust or salt.
Of course, as it was pure soil, there were many stones and rocks, but thanks to Seun’s delicate control, all the large rocks rolled down through the cracks.
The soil, which was almost gray due to the dust, quickly turns dark brown.
The soil was moist and alive with every grain, and the word ‘fresh’ was a perfect fit.
“Wouldn’t this be enough?”
“So, what exactly are you… … .”
However, that does not mean that the entire land of the castle was turned upside down.
No matter how much you build it, there is a limit to the amount of mana you can have.
Even so, since I had plenty of time, I thought I could turn over all the soil in a few days by repeatedly recovering mana and using magic.
“Let’s start with farming first, and once we have some free time with farming, we can raise livestock.”
Stop.
Instead of answering Se-un’s advice, the king shed tears.
This may be because the hope for the future, which had been vague as it rose to the ground, suddenly appeared before my eyes.
Right now, his eyes will be seeing crops blooming brilliantly on the soil that Seun had turned over.
And at that moment, even though I hadn’t turned over all the land on the island yet, a system message indicating that the quest was complete appeared.
– Completed the hidden quest in the underground bunker, ‘Reconstruction’.
– All clan members of ‘Diablo’ who participated in the quest will receive 100,000 points of personal merit.
– The fourth shelter, the ‘Underground Bunker’, was rescued.
– As of now, the fourth shelter on the tower has been changed to ‘Starting Castle, Hoppen’.
– Time begins to flow in ‘The Castle of Beginnings, Hopen’.
The castle of beginnings, Hopen.
Seun’s eyes opened wide at the sight before him.
I thought that since the apocalypse had been prevented, there would be changes to the fourth shelter. However, I didn’t know that the name of the shelter itself would change.
Besides, the time in the shelter is passing?
That also means that time has stopped at the shelter until now.
Then, before the message in front of my eyes could even disappear, a new message appeared.
– The citizens of Hopen, the city of the beginning, will forever remember you as their ‘savior’.
– In the tale of Blood Wolf Legend, a ‘wolf that swallowed a meteorite’ is recorded.
– By writing the first line of the beginning in an abandoned world, I have earned the qualification of a ‘new star’…
Chew, chew!
The message before my eyes shook as if there was noise.
If it had been before the regression, then it might have been different, but since it was something he had already experienced in this life, Se-Woon could guess the cause.
There is only one place where the system can be tampered with and the message modified.
That’s right, the tower management office.
– A serious disturbance has occurred in the fourth shelter of the tower.
– The tower management points to you as the cause.
– The tower management office summons the player ‘Jeong Se-woon’.
With the newly revised message, the surrounding scenery became blurred.
