Chapter 747 – Guardian of the Dungeon
Then, on his holy day, he feels the intense, sacred moonlight penetrate his mind. However, since he does not feel any malice from that power, Seong-il meekly lets the power penetrate his mind without much resistance.
“Amazing. She roamed around in another dimension, encountered cosmic beings, and even made the goddess in charge of the earth and life into your subordinates. Excellent.』
‘Hmm…? Surprisingly, he doesn’t get angry saying it’s blasphemy?’
『Because only such a ‘small’ factual relationship is not important to me. Anyway… Yes. Prophet who seeks to save a race suffering from fanaticism. What do you want from me I don’t think I’m trying to become my great warrior and gain a profit here.』
Surprisingly, the god of the moon shows a peaceful appearance even after realizing the identity of the holy day. Seong-il honestly tells him what he wants, seeing him as if he has completely detached worldly knowledge and emotions.
『Hmm… Yo, are you going to bring the warriors of your world here and fight the henchmen who believe in the god of light? That’s funny. Certainly… It’s a pretty good place to get some experience. Because it is a place where blood and steel run rampant.”
“Yes. Isn’t that good for the moon god too? You can get a lot of pretty good warriors.”
“Well…”
“…?”
Unexpectedly, when the moon god is upset, Seong-il is puzzled and asks the reason.
『Do you know why I summoned you here? Also, why does it seem like I don’t have any apostles with me except Lassal?”
“Uh… Um… Well… I’m not sure what the correlation between the two facts is…”
When Seong-il doesn’t seem to realize the causal relationship at all, the moon god laughs and explains the reason.
“Simple. Since I didn’t have any apostles with me other than Lassal, I received a worthy gift from In-Kwa, you.”
“Causal…?”
“Okay. Because I did not project my power into the mortal realm as violently as the god of light, the cause and effect of this world gave me a gift I deserved. If I had pushed the apostle too far like the god of light, I wouldn’t have gotten a powerful warrior like you.”
“Um…”
In the past, Seong-il would have thought that he heard the moon god speak, did not understand at all, and was talking about catching floating clouds. Seongil could vaguely understand what the moon god was trying to say.
『By the way, if you bring in a large number of new great warriors, the power of cause and effect will give the god of light that much power.』
“…How?”
“Well? Because the power of cause and effect always pays off in an unexpected way. Will you give me anything?”
“Hmm…”
Seong-il puts on a serious expression when the moon god says that Cain and Gwa may intervene and balance the pendulum. Seong-il, in particular, had no idea of the situation in which a student hunter-class being came in. Apparently, he is very wary of the appearance of a being similar to his own power, which has now risen to the level of a half-god.
『Haha! You don’t have to worry about that. Didn’t I bring you in the first place? The fact that you became so strong has nothing to do with me, the pants that will be responsible for the power of causality that made me bond. So you don’t have to worry about monsters of the same class as you might descend here.”
“Ah… Is that so? Doesn’t it matter then…?”
Seong-il answers the moon god with a confident tone, as he is confident enough to subdue no matter how many groups of student-level hunters come if he uses his strength anyway.
“Certainly…That’s right. It is safe to say that there is no existence that can beat you unless you are an ambassador who enshrines the god of light. So how about doing this?”
If the god of the moon shows off his mighty power, cause and effect might intervene and do something. He tells Seong-il to refrain from intervening as much as possible. Instead, like Lassal now, advice to new warriors who will be brought from behind the scenes, or when the sanctuary is urgently pushed. Encourage them to intervene in dangerous situations and balance them.
“That’s what I want.”
Since the purpose of coming here in the first place is to train the students, Seong-il happily agrees, feeling that the moon god’s opinion perfectly matches his understanding.
“Ah, before that… There’s one thing I’m worried about.”
Seong-il honestly opens his situation to the moon god. In order to stably use the new identity of the current seeker, he says that he hopes that his true existence will not be exposed here as much as possible, as he abandoned his existing identity as Han Seong-il and hid.
“People here already know who I am… So that’s what’s going on.”
“It is not difficult to solve. Even you already know the solution.”
“…I already know how to solve it?”
Seong-il, who heard the answer given by the moon god, did not understand the situation and looked at the statue with a puzzled expression and asked again. Then, she momentarily appears as if a woman’s costume carved from black obsidian is smiling.
『Haven’t you already cleared this place in the name of ‘game’?』
“Ah… I tried. But what does that have to do with me…?”
『Yes. What will happen if you look at the ending without meeting the ‘proper’ conditions?』
“That’s it… After watching the normal ending or the bad ending, start with the 2nd play… Ah!!”
Seong-il shudders when he realizes what the moon god intended to give him that advice.
“For now, you’re saying that I’m going towards the ‘normal’ ending by myself, right?”
“Yes.”
“…But did that apply here too?
『Whoop whoop…』
Seong-il asks in a puzzled tone because he does not understand what kind of beings are divine beings who take the current situation in which their ‘identity’ and ‘uniqueness’ are collapsing.
“You don’t know. How long have I and the light been repeating this war?”
“!!!”
『At one time, I too, like the god of light, projected my power into the world and sent down apostles. The God of Light was the exact opposite. But now the position is reversed. Why?』
“…Well?”
“Simple. It was only when I tried that method that I realized that it wasn’t the right answer. Although the god of light misunderstood that the stance I took in the past was the correct answer. Whoop whoop…』
The god of the moon seemed to think that the balance of cause and effect created by mixing light and darkness would reach a ‘true’ conclusion only if he intervened as little as possible.
『In fact, didn’t the great variable that is you finally appear?』
“Hmm…”
『If I have to explain more than this, I will say that the introduction will be unnecessarily long. Take the followers to the final sanctuary while ‘enjoying’ to the ‘lowest level’.』
“I understand what you mean. But…”
It’s good that the lewd acts he did on Seongil are erased from the minds of the followers. Apart from that, Lena and Leah. In addition, it is regrettable that the ownership of the white knight Eileen, who has been trained, is gone.
“Ah! If that’s the case, don’t worry. The 2nd round ‘privilege’ is also the same here.』
“Oh!”
“Don’t do this. Lena, Leah is my god by nature, so let’s keep their recruits mine. However, the White Knight, you reign as the true master, but instead, you work under me until the end of the day. How is it?』
“Okay. I don’t disagree with that opinion.”
Since it was an offer that he had no reason to refuse on a holy day, he obediently accepted the offer made by the moon god. Seong-il, who succeeded in resolving all the unfortunate situations, puts down the burden for the first time in a long time and moves toward becoming a follower of the moon.
“Huh… Your expression has brightened. Did God give you a good answer?”
When Seong-il leaves the sanctuary with a smile, Lassal asks him with a smile as if having fun. After nodding to Lassal, he calmly tries to explain about the revelation.
“Ah… Somehow… Grand Master’s power has become so strong. This kind of future was trying to come back ‘again’. It’s interesting.”
As a true apostle appointed by the god of the moon, Lassal does not mind hearing the shocking plan of the holy day.
“Then why don’t you enjoy ‘perfectly’ at this point? Anyway, ‘most’ people won’t ‘almost’ remember Grand Master’s rampage.”
“Kuh-kuh… Is that so?”
“Can’t it be? Have fun.”
Seong-il puts on a very happy expression at the words of Lassal, who, like a great being, does not criticize Seong-il’s deviation in the slightest and even blesses it.
“Okay…Then let’s enjoy it? Ah, before that…”
Seong-il tells Lassal everything about the conversation he and the moon god had. In a way, it could have been a humiliating plan, but Lassal silently listens to Seong-il without any change in emotions.
“Then it’s better. Use the white knight as a propaganda tool until the 77th floor. You’ll have quite a bit of fun in the process.”
“That’s a good plan.”
Seong-il, who listened to Lassal’s malicious advice, agrees with his words with a very happy expression. In the upcoming 2nd episode, I have to create the appearance of a solemn ‘seeker’. Seong-il wants to enjoy his last chance and moves to the plaza again.
