Episode 206: An Old Bet -3-
The air is heavy.
Persistent eyes follow my every move.
“I don’t know either.”
“Huh? You don’t know?”
“Still, I have heard something.”
After a brief pause, he continued speaking.
“The Holy Father of the Church of Thor called me the Almighty.”
“Almighty?”
“The Blood King, the President of the Guardians’ League, called me the Heavenly Demon Body.”
“Cheonmajiche!”
Matapju narrows his eyes.
Creepy, sharp eyes.
Looking into her eyes that reminded me of the scales of truth, I nodded my head slowly.
“Yes. I think that is the true nature of Cheon-geop-ji-seong.”
“her!”
Matapju was speechless for a moment.
“That actually existed?”
“I heard that even the Heavenly Demon Lord is a great saint?”
“Huh, heh heh heh.”
“I guess Your Majesty has never met Heavenly Demon in person.”
“I’ve seen you before. Several decades ago, when I was your age. Is that why you didn’t recognize me… ?”
The top stares at me with eyes that seem like they’re going to eat me.
All kinds of desires are swirling around.
The most intense thing is curiosity.
And greed.
If I had been even a little weaker, if I had been level 6, if I had weak connections, or if I had not even had a high level, I don’t know how things would have turned out.
However, the magician who controls the tower is a fire magician.
Thanks to the flame resistance of the highest fire, I was able to tell the truth.
If it weren’t for the fire attribute, but rather a cold or earth magician who was good at binding and sealing, I wouldn’t have been able to fight him like this.
I just looked at the abacus and decided.
“What a shame. I should have known sooner… … .”
“So it looks like you’ve put magic on me too.”
“That’s right. It took some effort to bring that priest you were close to from the Great Labyrinth. The old father’s sect was really upset and wouldn’t let him go.”
“You’re not hiding it anymore?”
“Hearing you say that, the Almighty, the Heavenly Demon Body, and the Heavenly Demon Supreme Being are the same concept. Isn’t that obvious? I can’t use my clumsy skills against the Heavenly Demon of the future. I apologize to you about the magic and the priest. No, I apologize.”
The top priest suddenly spoke.
Then he bows his head deeply.
Level 8 Superhuman Apple.
An apology from a large group called the Sun Tower.
I closed my eyes tightly.
That’s good.
It would be wrong to show this much sincerity and then let go of the hat.
It’s not like she’s trying to eat me the moment she sees me like a saint, but she’s been a great help to me all this time.
I will continue to help you in the future.
“Okay. Let’s pretend this never happened.”
“Haha, as expected, our Sword Master is very generous. On your way, I will give you some gold bars… … Hmm, no. I will give you some diamonds and magic weapons.”
“I will be grateful. And please feel free to speak. You are the magician, Grandpa.”
“No. You can’t treat the future Cheonma carelessly.”
“I’m saying this because I feel awkward. He’s the same age as my grandfather.”
“What does age matter between superhumans? If you’re at a higher level, you’re the older one. You’ll be at level 9 in 10 years, so let’s say you’re practicing.”
Are wizards originally like this?
It’s creepy to see him throw away both his age and his relationship status.
After a long chatter, Ma-Tap-Ju got down to the main topic.
“You have a wish.”
“Yes. As you may have guessed, Your Majesty, I would like to form an alliance with the Sun Tower.”
“That alliance will be against the old Father’s Sect.”
“Yes.”
“hmm…….”
Matopju frowns as if he is troubled.
“The old father’s sect is a group that even our magic tower has a hard time dealing with.”
“I know.”
“In Korea, it may be a bit of a match, but if you look at it on a global scale, the difference is huge. Whether it’s Japan, China, the US, or Europe, there are several temples that can be compared to our temples. However, the seven major sects are the seven major sects no matter where you go in the world.”
But why is the Sun Tower considered one of the four great towers?
That’s because it’s Seoul.
Even a dog knows how to eat and go in the front yard of its own house.
If they fought in Seoul, the Sun Tower could compete with the old Father’s Sect.
However, this is under the assumption that no power is supplied from overseas.

What if you come in?
What if we concentrate our power?
That’s Episode 3, Resurrection of the Ancient Gods.
The old father’s sect is alone in taking on the Republic of Korea.
“First of all, I am not suggesting that we attack the old father’s sect.”
I also tried to persuade him calmly.
“The old father’s sect and I have an uncomfortable relationship. However, I have no intention of attacking first. I think that the ideal relationship is one where we treat each other like cows and chickens. I have a lot to do and a lot to want to do.”
“then…….”
“But you know, Lord Matap, but would the old father’s sect just leave me alone? They already declared that they would use me as a vessel for their new resurrection?”
“Ahem!”
Matapju coughs in vain.
As expected, you knew.
What is the old father’s sect plotting with me?
Maybe all four major powers heard it?
“That’s why I’m trying to form an alliance with the Sun Tower. I won’t attack the Old Father’s Sect first. Unless the Old Father’s Sect attacks me first or starts a large-scale rebellion and attacks the Republic of Korea and Seoul.”
“Hmm… … How could that possibly happen? I think Your Majesty is underestimating his own worth. The forces centered around Your Majesty after the redevelopment of Kuro Castle alone could easily crush the old Father’s sect. If the saintess had a brain, she wouldn’t be able to attack Your Majesty so carelessly.”
If you think about it rationally, yes.
Eastern Army, Geumoh Group, Sun Tower, Thor Cult, Gaia Cult.
The Western Army also took a step here.
There are as many as six forces.
Half of the six teams, three of them have entered.
“And a large-scale rebellion? Hehe. We’re not some random Southeast Asian country, so there’s no way we’d be defeated by a single religious group.”
“They are fanatics. They would attack a temple or start a large-scale rebellion if it meant the resurrection of their god.”
“It’s something that has been tried for hundreds of years and never been done. Can it be done?”
“It is possible. Does the old father’s sect lack money or power? The materials for the magical ritual, the large-scale sacrifice, the vessel of the gods, the only thing lacking is the vessel of the gods. When I reach level 8 and level 9, I will be able to complete the vessel of the gods. The saintess is waiting for that time.”
“Level 8, or maybe level 9… … .”
Matapju closes his eyes.
Tap the table with your fingers.
“Now that I hear it, it makes sense. Even the great wizard Merlin was called a quasi-god. Jibril often had his god descend into his body.”
“Isn’t that so?”
“The Sword Saint will become the vessel of the old father… … The old father is the enemy of all magicians and the deity who oppressed magical science the most among the gods that existed on Earth. Alright. I doubt that the saintess would do something so reckless, but under the premise that the old father’s sect launches a preemptive attack, we will become an ally of the Sword Saint.”
They exchanged magic oaths on the spot.
[One, Kim Jeon-sa is called Gap.]
[One, the sun tower is called Eul.]
[One, A and B enter into a mutual defense pact.]
[One, the above mentioned mutual defense pact is only targeted at the old Father’s Church.]
[1. The above mutual defense pact will only come into effect if Party A and Party B are attacked first, or if the old Father’s Sect launches a large-scale rebellion against the Republic of Korea or Seoul Metropolitan City.]
Done!
It looks like Matapju has taken action.
I guess I’ll just have to pressure the old father’s sect to not attack me in the future.
Unfortunately, you were wrong.
The old father’s sect has already attacked the Republic of Korea and Seoul.
Because the mastermind behind the Seoul terror attack is none other than the old Father’s Church.
The bloody wheel has started rolling and now no one can stop it.
“This is the end of it all. The stakes and the ultimate reward.”
“Is this so? Even if that’s true, I’ve shortened the implementation of the extreme twice, so it’s disappointing that you’re acting like this.”
“Um… … If you need, I can provide you with magic weapons, diamonds, nectar, and such. Is there anything else you need?”
Matapju takes a quick look at my equipment.
The eclipse ring that I still wear on my right index finger.
The Ring of Eclipse is one of the eight treasures of the Sun Tower.
Unless it’s at that level, it doesn’t help me.
But there is one thing I would like to ask of the Lord Matapju.
“Would you mind coming outside for a moment? I have something to show you.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The magic experiment field outside the Sun Tower.
They usually set up in empty lots where long-range firepower experiments are conducted.
The elders who had stepped back for a moment joined in.
They’ve heard about the upper-level defense pact and are talking about this and that.
“You said you formed an alliance?”
“The old father’s sect is the target.”
“Oh, really. Even the Lord Top is really timid at times like this.”
“That’s right. It would be better to have a complete mutual defense pact.”
“What if I get dragged around here and there?”
“It’s not bad since Geomseong is a strong candidate for the future Eastern Corps Commander… … Huh! What is that!”
While the wizards were talking, I took out the sky boat.
Spread them out one by one and place them on the testing ground.
Fortunately, it was not an empty lot but a mountain, so there was enough space to park a skyship the size of an aircraft carrier.
Then open the hangar.
As the contents inside were revealed, the eyes of the elders as well as the Matapju grew as big as lanterns.
It can’t be helped.
What do I have in the Skyship hangar?
These are the golden dragon and the corpse of the corpse dragon.
Even in this world overflowing with resources, dragon corpses are extremely rare.
Especially if it’s something that’s been properly slaughtered by a superhuman with slaughtering abilities and kept intact in the hangar of a mythical ship.
“Ohhh!”
“Dragon! It’s a dragon!”
“Is this real?”
“Oh my god, look at this color!”
“Heart! Let’s see the heart!”
“Uh… … This guy doesn’t have a heart?”
“The brain is still there!”
“Spinal cord!”
“You’re crazy! You’re crazy! If you grind this ignition stone and use it as a catalyst, the polarization will become even stronger!”
The elders were absolutely furious.
It’s like seeing some monster in a movie shouting “My Precious.”
Matapju came up next to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.
His eyes were burning brightly.
“Are you giving that to us?”
“Well, I’ll give you a reasonable amount as commission.”
“A fee?”
“My request is simple.”
Okay, okay, okay.
I pulled out a set of gear.
Geumohmo, Geumohdae, Geumohsin.
Gold set.
I’ve been using it well so far, but there are some things I’m a little disappointed about.
It’s called SR grade.
If you collect all three, they are treated as SSRs, but they are weaker than the SSR grade sets.
“I would like you to strengthen these three.”
“Magic weapon reinforcement… … .”
After receiving the Matopju Geumoh set, he looked it over.
“Isn’t this the Seongga family of the Geumoh Group?”
“you’re right.”
“It takes a lot of materials to strengthen this. It also takes a lot of quality.”
“I’ll give you half of half.”
“Half of half?”
“Yes. But please make sure to make the item.”
Whether it’s horns, bones, scales, blood and flesh, it’s all 1/4.
The rest is mine.
I was planning to keep the blood and flesh in the hangar.
I’ll have to use it all later.
I listed my demands one by one.
First, the Gold O set will be reduced from three pieces to two pieces.
Instead, all abilities must be maintained.
This way, each piece will definitely be SSR grade.
When you go from a 3-piece to a 2-piece, you get to wear one more piece of equipment.
Second, create new artifacts.
It is a combination of a golden dragon and a corpse dragon.
Harmony of light and darkness.
A fusion of life and death.
I don’t know, but I’m sure something great will come out of it.
“Heh heh heh.”
Matapju let out a hollow laugh as if he found it ridiculous.
Finally, I added one more condition.
Third, create a set of armor using scrap materials.
It wasn’t my intention to write it.
I was going to give it to my disciples as a gift and give it away here and there.
At least ten sets.
So that any series can be used.
Matapju raised one eyebrow.
“Aren’t you asking for too much?”
“Instead, you can have some of the corpses. In addition, I will give you the corpse dragon heart. I ate the golden dragon heart, but the corpse dragon heart will also be valuable for research.”
“That’s true.”
“Also, I plan to participate in the creation of the artifact.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Why?
That’s why.
[Artisan][Jigohwa]
The Craftsman trait is also rare in Arcane Seoul.
It has to be at least as good as Jo Cheol to have [night field] characteristics.
A smith is better than a craftsman at making armor, but a craftsman is not bad either.
This is even more true when you think about the highest level.
“Think about it. The Golden Dragon and the Corpse Dragon have polar opposite attributes, so it’s hard to mix materials to make them. But what if I use my High-level Flower and the Magic Tower’s High-level Flower together?”
“Are you talking about the highest and the lowest?”
“Yes. It is to melt the bones and horns of the two dragons equally. As you know, Lord of the Tower, it is difficult with solar fire. It does not have the firepower to melt the bones or horns of the dragons. However, it is possible with the highest fire or the extreme fire.”
“Ahem!”
Polarization is an explosive magic.
It is difficult to melt the dragon’s horn and bones alone.
But it is possible if you do it with Jigohwa.
In fact, it was also a personal quest for an SSR character from the Sun Tower.
That character debuts with an SSR character equipped with a high-level skill, and since the two are a couple in the settings, they also proceed with individual quests together.
“Your Majesty.”
The responsible wizard approached and whispered to the magician.
“This must be done.”
It’s not just because of the dragon’s corpse.
An opportunity to study the highest law legally.
From the perspective of the Sun Tower, there are numerous reasons to do it, but there is not a single reason not to do it.
I also benefit from it.
A magical weapon obtained as a personal quest reward for an SSR character.
Because it’s almost the ultimate among Arcane Seoul defense gear.
Moreover, the materials I chose are of a higher grade than the materials handled in that quest.
“great.”
Matapju held out his hand.
“Let’s create the ultimate artifact together.”
