Apocalypse's All-Rounder Mischief

Chapter 34

Battle Ready (1)

Junyoung rubbed his eyes to see if he had seen it wrong.

-Kwak Sang-cheol (Hobgoblin ★)

-Karuo Takahashi (Slime ★)

But no doubt.

I didn’t see it well.

Hobgoblin and Slime!

‘What happened to those people?’

Looking at the name, Kwak Sang-cheol looks like a Korean, and Takahashi Karuo looks like a Japanese.

‘Maybe?’

There is something to point out.

It reminded me of what the goblin god Tikin had suggested in the Dark Totem Barrier.

At that time, if Junyoung had accepted Tikkin’s offer, he would have been converted into a Hobgoblin.

‘Then, did they accept the offer from God?’

It’s absurd, but there doesn’t seem to be any other reason than that.

Without it, there would be no way a normal human could have turned into a hobgoblin or a slime.

‘after!’

it’s kinda sad

What they wanted to achieve until they gave up being human and became a monster!

‘It must be because of survival.’

There will be differences in each situation.

He risked becoming a monster in order to somehow survive.

Hobgoblin’s might and fame!

Slimes must have something no less than that.

"Oh shit."

Then Junyoung sighed again.

【The closest 5 commanders by distance】

-Urta (Hobgoblin ★)

-Kwak Sang-cheol (Hobgoblin ★)

-Karuo Takahashi (Slime ★)

-Tugal (Lizardman ★★)

-Jung Eun-ji (Orc ★)

‘This time Orc…?’

Even Jung Eun-ji, who had been maintained as a human, eventually converted to an Orc.

She looks like a Korean woman just by looking at her name.

Is she her own choice?

Or has she been possessed by evil spirits?

No matter how much it is for survival, it would be difficult for me to make such a choice in my mind.

I don’t know the situation.

can’t even know

One thing is certain.

It’s just completely crazy.

‘It’s a crazy world.’

I thought I was a little used to the world here.

you’re welcome! not yet.

I still don’t seem to know anything about this world.

A world so creepy that humans even transform their races into monsters in order to live!

It may be more difficult than you can imagine to survive in such a world without giving up being human to the end.

‘What’s even worse is that I can fight them.’

Junyoung sighed heavily.

Those who are now monsters, but were once human.

Will they be able to maintain their rationality as human beings?

‘There is a very high possibility that not only the body but also the mind will become a monster.’

Therefore, even if Junyoung doesn’t want to fight, he has no choice but to fight them.

That means you need to be prepared soon.

[You became an official commander by completing the “Qualification of a Commander” mission.][From now on, the commander cannot be abandoned.][However, you will not be attacked by other commanders until the protection period is over.]

Commander confirmed!

Giving up is impossible.

What is the sea preparing for?

Five of his men, including Andrew, swore an oath of allegiance, and to withdraw from it would be the same as betraying them.

[There is no Altar of God in your camp.][If you have an Altar of God, you can receive God’s blessing.][With God’s protection, you and your subordinates can gain a favorable effect in battle.]

This is a fact you already know.

The Altar of God was the most troublesome thing when fighting Hobgoblin Kahlik and his goblins.

It was said that in the vicinity where the Altar’s Protection is activated, it can exert almost invincible combat power.

It looks like they are going to build a similar altar now.

‘That’s crazy.’

Nothing is free in the world

If you want to get something, you must pay a price for it.

‘Instead of getting God’s protection, you’ll have to turn into a monster.’

This is Junyoung, who has already talked to the goblin god Tikkin.

She even offered to become a two-star commander.

It was her condition to serve her instead of her and at the same time transform into her hop goblin.

‘Is there a god for each monster race in this world?’

Goblins, Lizardmen, Slimes, Orcs.

I don’t know what other gods exist.

How can you survive in this world without relying on such monstrous gods?

[Many gods show special interest toward you, who has achieved fame without God’s help.][The following nearby gods are currently interested in you.][Hadosune, god of slime][Goblin God Tikkin][Lizardman’s God Olokos][Orc god Tidway][Elven god Celes][If there is a god you want to serve, please choose the name of that god.]

Come to think of it, advanced information that was previously unknown continues to be provided through notifications and explanation windows.

It’s after completing the mission “Qualification of a Commander”.

‘The gods are interested in me?’

Junyoung made a shaky expression.

‘As expected, there must be a god for each race.’

That the gods are showing interest here.

Of course, that’s not a welcome thing.

After all, in order to receive the blessings of the gods, you have to transform into each monster race.

‘what? But there are also elf gods.’

Celes, the god of elves.

Fortunately, it seems that the gods of the monster race were not the only ones.

‘If you’re an elf, at least you’re not a monster.’

Of course, I have no desire to change race to an elf in haste.

[The elven god Celes appears in your estate.][Seles appears before you.]

‘what?’

All of a sudden, it’s a manifestation of God.

smart.

“Can I come in?”

The sound is coming from outside the front door.

A mysterious beauty that is not human-like.

‘no way?’

Is this the elven god Celes?

Junyoung looked outside through the periscope of the front door.

But.

“If you want to see me, you don’t have to. I am already in.”

it’s behind

Turning her head, she saw a young man with silvery blue hair with a strange smile on his lips.

“No surprise. Celes, the god of elves. That’s me.”

“Ah yes.”

True to the reputation of the elf race, he was a really beautiful young man, no, he was a god.

But for what?

When Junyoung saw Celes, he felt so bad that his whole body got goosebumps.

From the looks of it, it’s a really beautiful and wonderful scene, but what’s with this disgusting feeling?

“Nya-oh-!”

Did Andrew feel that way too?

The guy who was sitting quietly suddenly looked at Celes and wept bitterly.

“Nyaaao-!”

It is an attitude full of hostility.

Then Celes smiled.

“I’m sorry, but can you keep this guy a little quieter? I hate the sound of a cat’s cry.”

You smile brightly, but why is it so annoying?

Anyway, we need to calm And down first.

“Andy, it’s okay, calm down.”

As Junyoung said so and patted his head, Andrew immediately stopped crying.

However, he was still staring at Celes with eyes full of vigilance.

“great. It’s quiet now.”

Celes smiled again.

Then she stopped smiling for a moment and looked at Junyoung.

“I will say it outright. human! You will serve me from now on.”

An intense light flashed from his eyes, like lightning strikes.

A majesty that is difficult to face face-to-face!

Therefore, I thought that if I refused his will, something big would happen.

-【Hidden truth】 The gods of this world are not real gods. just an avatar.

A fragment of truth obtained through research after destroying the Dark Totem Barrier in the forest earlier.

what is written there.

What if that’s true?

This means that Celes, the god of elves, exudes great dignity in front of this, is not a real god, but an avatar imitating a god.

‘after!’

But no matter what.

There must be a divine being here, isn’t it?

For the current Junyoung, it is a transcendent existence that is difficult to resist.

“What are you hesitating about? Are you hesitating even though I have already told you who I am?”

When Junyoung just stared at him without saying a word, Celes spoke again with an angry expression.

If you don’t serve yourself, it’s as if you’re not going to let it go.

It’s like a threat indeed!

For a moment, Junyoung showed off his skills instead of answering.

‘research!’

I don’t know why it suddenly opened up.

Even as an avatar, Celes is a transcendent being.

Even the system says he is an elf god.

In other words, Celes is a god.

Will you seek God?

Do you think this is possible?

It’s just an instinctive behavior, but it’s not funny on its own.

[The elven god Celes is a subject that can be explored.][Want to spend mana to explore?]

However, this result was unexpected.

I hope this is possible

In the case of the goblin god Tikin, it was impossible to explore because he did not manifest himself and only talked through the totem.

Celes seems to be in an incarnate state.’Yes.’

Then, of course, you should explore.

[Search was successful.][Elven god Celes]

-Classification: God

-Reputation: ●

-Disposition: Evil (邪惡)

-Description: One of the lesser gods of elves, showing a very evil disposition. He has relatively strong protection compared to the gods of his class, but he commits all kinds of atrocities to those who serve him.

-【Mutual Attack Impossible】 You and Celes cannot attack each other. However, if you destroy the target’s totem or altar, you can be cursed.

-【Sealing method】 Destroy all Altars of Celes to seal him, and there is a rare chance to obtain the God’s Fame (●).

In an instant, Junyoung’s eyes widened.

‘Can’t mutual attack?’

There are other small explanations, but that was the part that caught my eye the most.

You can’t attack each other!

However, as an exception, if Junyoung destroys Celes’ totem or altar, an attack will come in, and it is a curse attack, not a direct attack.

‘By the way, so was Tickin.’

The time Tikkin casts the curse is when Junyoung destroys each totem.

Finally, the curse was triggered when the altar was destroyed.

Of course, that curse did not work for Junyoung.

I still don’t know why.

‘Anyway.’

What is certain is that there is absolutely no need to be afraid of Celes at this moment.

Because he can’t do any physical harm to Junyoung other than intimidation.

“refuse. So stop disappearing.”

When Junyoung responded so calmly, Celes put on a bewildered expression.

“What did you say now?”

“refuse. And I told him to turn it off.”

In an instant, an eerie beam of light flashed in Celes’ eyes again, like lightning.

“You are a real rude guy. dare! Do you act like that even though you know who I am?”

Junyoung shed a laugh.

know. no you’re doing this

If I didn’t know, I’d be really scared.

“Right now, you are just a ghost who can do nothing to me other than intimidation. I must destroy even the totem before I can cast a curse. Am I wrong?”

For a moment, Celes, who had been showing a dignified attitude until then, was startled and looked embarrassed.

“How do you do it?”

That’s pretty surprising.

But I know an even bigger secret.

The fact that Celes is not a real god, but an avatar of something.

But somehow I think it would be better not to say that.

“You’re such an odd guy to know that. But do you think that I can’t discipline you? It is very simple to kill you with the army of my servants.”

“Then do that.”

When Junyoung wasn’t scared at all, Celes looked embarrassed again.

He seemed to ponder for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“As Tickin said. I said don’t look down on you, and that’s what you said. Good! I don’t want you to honor me. Instead, if you agree with me, I will also help you survive.”

With him, a mysterious silver-rimmed card-shaped window appeared in front of Junyoung.

□=================□

【Celes’ proposal】

– Race: Elf

-Reputation Rating: ★★ (2 stars)

-Rank: Centurion

-Equipment: Robe of Windfury (Legendary)

– Unique Ability: Advanced Wind Magic (Lv1)

-Wealth: 500 Coins

□=================□

“The reason you turned down Tikkin’s offer was probably because you turned into a monstrous goblin. But my proposal is different from that. You will now turn into a beautiful elf like me.”

Celes smiled confidently as if she was sure Junyoung would accept her offer.

“It doesn’t matter if you are not polite to me. I’ll give you all this if you just make a totem for me, complete the altar, and keep it. Also, extend my protection to protect you and your men from powerful enemies.”
