Episode.33 Apocalypse of the Betrayer

‘Inheritance of ability, activation.’

– Tiring!

[Abilities are inherited from the monster’s corpse.]

[Inheritable Abilities]

1. Royal swordsmanship

2. Swordsmanship of the Abandoned One

3. Attribution

4. Generate

5. Acceleration

6. Excellent feeling

7. Running

8. Two swords – the swordsmanship of a fool

There are a whopping 8 choices.

As expected, the more powerful it was, the more abilities it could inherit.

A number that is in no way comparable to the guys I faced before.

However, are there abilities that cannot be inherited that are ‘possible’ to inherit?

I put away all the random thoughts that were just speculations.

Another thought that fills the empty space after cleaning it up.

But this is not a random thought.

My life, my life and death could depend on it.

The image of me standing at a crossroads between life and death and the image of that guy being controlled by a parasite come to mind.

It seems like it’s over now, so I should forget about it, but for some reason, his last words keep coming back to me.

It’s a thought I’ve had countless times, but it comes to mind again.

If he had dealt with me on his own accord and not been controlled by a parasite.

His neck probably rolled on the floor.

‘Let’s start by selecting abilities.’

I passed numbers 1, 2, and 8.

Numbers 1 and 2 don’t seem to be particularly useful, and I felt a bit regretful about giving up number 8 because I didn’t choose the dual sword perk.

Option 3 came to me again.

At this level, it feels like the system is telling us that there will come a time when it will definitely be needed.

However, if you think about it the other way around, it means that this ‘attribute’ option pops up often.

So, exclude number 3.

Number 7. Excluded because it’s too mediocre.

‘Wouldn’t it be better to do something special?’

I slowly looked at option 6.

Having a good sense of spirit will definitely help you in battle.

I’m sure you can get help in many other areas as well, but.

‘Incurable disease in my body… debuff? Anyway, that.’

That was the last move he made to me.

I came up with it.

What were you thinking? If you ask that, then of course it is an advantage that comes when I use that ‘acceleration’.

If used in conjunction with my ‘nerf’ ability, even a high-ranked ability can be instantly thrown into the abyss.

If other people see this option, they may choose ‘Generate’, which appears to be the ‘skill’ of the armor guy who used the forbidden skill.

However, if I think about the synergy with my unique ability, I end up being quite lethal and destructive beyond simply accelerating debuffs.

The debuffs that weaken over the years are extremely frustrating.

No matter what you choose, this moment of succession is always a series of choices.

The choices I make will inevitably come with regrets.

However, the opposite option also comes with regret.

If so, at least the one I chose will have less regret.

‘Accelerate 5, select.’

– Tiring!

[Acceleration (B) has been acquired.]

I chose the B-level option.

Obviously, Generate is an S-class technology… no, maybe.

‘A forbidden technique that could lead to EX level… It’s quite a shame to have missed it…’

Before entering the last room, I did an interim check to see if I had missed anything.

‘system.’

– Tiring!

‘My Info.’

[Check your information.]

P. Druggist’s Grace (D) LV.3(Max)

[Increases the duration of the drug’s beneficial effects by 20 times. (Drug effects overlap.)]

==========

At this point, I don’t think I’ve left anything out.

I halved the stats I gained while leveling up by 10, investing 5 in Strength and 5 in Dexterity.

But it seems like the druggist’s favor has changed slightly.

Drug effects overlap.

What this means is that there is no need to bother drinking potions that change your face every 10 days.

‘When I get back home, I have to drink all the potions I have.’

By the way, instead of increasing by 10 to 15 times, it broke expectations and increased by 20 times.

‘After all, you can’t know what happens to people.’

Now that the boss battle was over, I thought I could call Chaewon again.

Actually, there might be Latin in there too… Well, this is almost a given.

‘Summon soul, activated.’

【Ugh. My head hurts so much…】

She jumped out of the sword and complained of a headache as soon as she saw me.

“Well, why are you doing that?”

【No, what if you put me under that sword and fight so fiercely?】

“What are you talking about? Then what am I supposed to fight with? Even if you were just a little bit careless, you could have lost your life.”

【Huh… I guess you still don’t understand… Okay.】

“What?”

【I will give you an example.】

Chaewon put her hand on my waist and pounded me.

【You were taking a nap in the warm sunlight. What if a giant grabs your house and uses it as a weapon?】

“Oh…”

【Even crashing into it a lot! Do you understand now?】

“I don’t know.”

【Oh!… This is really…】

When I was arguing with Chaewon, Defector’s key suddenly shook in my pants pocket.

The key is to encourage you to act quickly, as if you are almost there.

I tried to ignore Chaewon, who kept screaming, and took the key and walked to the door with the keyhole.

This door seems to be where the black armor stood guard.

‘… It didn’t seem like they were trying to protect it in particular.’

I don’t know the exact reason, but we must move forward nonetheless.

【Ah… And take this book. I got scolded because it was hard to hold it.】

“Okay, good job.”

I took back the book Chaewon was in charge of and stuffed it into my inventory.

【Hey, but does anything change just because I’m in the sword?】

“… There wasn’t one? There isn’t a single difference between what’s out and what’s in. No, the difference is that there is a guy next to me fluttering or not?”

【I won’t use the sword next time… sigh.】

“Yes, yes.”

I answered roughly and put Defector’s key into the keyhole.

The size of the key and its hole fit very comfortably.

The key inserted vertically was turned clockwise.

– click!

-Dddd!

Then, little by little, what looked like a door began to be pushed out.

It seems like I see a lot of gimmicks like this when I come here.

– Pass.

Defector’s key breaks into pieces and disappears.

As if he had done everything he had to do.

The door, which had been pushed as hard as it could be pushed, finally opened, as if half of the door was being sucked into the floor and the other half was sucked into the ceiling, as if an extremely large monster was opening its mouth.

Inside the door, to my dismay, there was only a book placed on a wooden round table.

We entered that space.

I approached the wooden round table.

‘There are letters that look like ones I’ve seen before… Well, of course they’re Latin.’

Perhaps this is ‘Apocalypse of the Traitor’.

I held the book in my hands.

【Hmm, hmmm, is it my turn to step forward now?】

“Wait a moment.”

Obviously, my insight level went up after I caught that black armor guy.

If it’s level 3, surely… wouldn’t it read texts I don’t know?

I roughly opened the book.

However, most of the contents were erased and could not be known. The page that seems to have content is page 4.

This is worth a try.

‘The king’s insight, activated.’

– Tiring!

[There are unknown characters.]

[The interpretation begins.]

[…1…2…3…4]

– Tiring!

[Interpretation completed.]

[Which page from pages 1 to 4 would you like to view?]

‘In order starting from number 1.’

[Content of number 1]

There was no paradise where I fled.

It was all a mistake.

In the end, betrayal only gave birth to another betrayal.

There is no escaping this bond.

No one could have predicted the coming disaster.

– Tiring!

[Contents of #2]

A person who mainly lies is bound to be able to detect other people’s lies.

In fact, this too would be an excuse.

I don’t know where it went wrong.

The eyes and eyes of colleagues around me.

It’s empty and the light has disappeared.

There is definitely an answer here.

There is a way to silence this dirty human being’s ugly instincts.

A way for traitors to unite.

Respond to betrayal with the power of betrayal.

I will rewrite my own history, by myself, and myself.

– Tiring!

[Contents of #3]

I finally found it.

The only way to unite these damn bastards.

It’s just an exchange of eyes.

eye egg.

This is not medicine.

It’s just a type of contract.

A promise that is always just words.

Our trust, linked through blood and magic, was always ready to crumble with a single ‘dispel’.

However, exchanging body parts is irreversible.

I can’t break it.

There’s no turning back.

I can’t pick it up again.

We become one.

Everyone is.

We will devour seven nations.

Another world, that day is not far away.

Even all contradictions will help us.

You too, who is reading this article.

Join our grand plan.

– Tiring!

[You have acquired Painless Transplant (F) through the effect on page 3.]

– Tiring!

[Contents of #4]

Seven countries targeted.

This is information about their species.

1. Goblin

2. Snake

3. Human

4. Elf

5. Vampire

6. The rest of the content has been deleted.

7. The rest of the content has been deleted.

The tricky ones are elves and humans.

Dark elves and pure-blooded elves with white skin.

And there are even half-elves created after falling in love with humans.

Also, do you know why humans are picky?

In order for humans to devour humans, ‘betrayal’ is necessary.

But finally… finally… a united group of traitors was created.

Now, if the research on ‘it’ is over… the world will be ours.

This is only possible if the bug bastard does his job well. We don’t fail.

yes? Nigger? Like you said… if it wasn’t going to be the peak, I didn’t even start.

Only what is worth trying is valuable.

I will devour the ring guard you loved so much.

As much as I loved you

The riper the revenge, the sweeter it becomes.

– Tiring!
