Harnack
The voice of an unfamiliar third person.
Someone slowly walked out from behind the golden statue, as if mocking the three people who had raised their weapons and put themselves on alert in an instant.
A middle-aged man wearing a fancy crown decorated with various jewels and dark clothes like pitch black.
Unlike the Honam-type face with thick lines, the eyes that somehow seemed detached were harmonious, creating an indescribable atmosphere.
‘This guy is the culprit.’
The turbid energy swirling around the middle-aged man was the same energy he witnessed outside the cave.
“When I asked how he got in, I thought he had broken down the wall and not the door. It’s ridiculous.”
Lee Chae dwelled in Yooseong’s eyes.
I couldn’t tell if the being in front of me was a human or an undead, but unlike the undead, which would rush at me unconditionally when I saw a human, seeing that they didn’t show any hostility, I thought the conversation would work.
“Sorry for breaking the door. Our situation… … .”
“name.”
“Yes?”
“If you want to have a conversation, first identify who you are.”
“… … It is called Yuseong Han.”
“Is that the end?”
User, one of less than 10 heroes, the 33rd Lord of Dragonia.
There were several adjectives that came to mind, but it was questionable whether the other person would be able to understand.
The middle-aged man, who was staring at the hesitant meteor with empty eyes, shook his head and said.
“I don’t have the level to have a conversation, but I can’t help it. This body is called Harnack.”
“Is that the end?”
Seeing Yooseong looking at him with strange eyes, Harnack smiled with a self-deprecating smile.
“A name is a luxury to me. Royal surname and glorious title. It’s too much for the king of ruined country to write. So what did you guys come here for?”
‘Don’t you know what’s going on outside?’
Seeing Harnack’s calm appearance, Yooseong opened his mouth with a shy expression.
Starting with the basic fact that this place is a planet called Earth, monsters appeared and war broke out, and the undead suddenly poured in, explaining what had happened to Earth in turn.
The story could have stretched due to the many details and complexity, but Yuseong, who had had similar conversations with Lizardmen in the past, delivered it as briefly and concisely as possible, concisely and concisely.
“… … I came here because I came to the conclusion that there is something that summons the undead. Do you have any suggestions?”
Yuseong thought maybe Harnack had nothing to do with the undead incident.
It was because they radiated unusual signals, and there were numerous powerful undead that I had never seen before, and even just looking at them, they radiated a suspicious atmosphere by constantly emitting ominous energy, but they were showing too calm an appearance to be criminals.
However, like the Lizardmen, everyone played as they came.
“If that’s the case, you should have come to the right answer.”
“Are you admitting that you called the undead?”
“To be precise, I didn’t call. The loyal subjects came voluntarily, knowing that I, the king, was here.”
“… … Anyway, isn’t it true that the undead are coming because of Harnak-nim?”
“Yes.”
Yuseong, who looked at Harnack, who answered calmly without changing his complexion, for a moment with an expression of absurdity, asked with anticipation.
“Then can you stop the undead from coming?”
“Why should I?”
It wasn’t just a refusal.
It was a question filled with questions that I sincerely couldn’t understand why I had to do that.
“Why, because of the undead, the people of our world are suffering, so of course we have to stop it, right?”
“So why should we stop it? According to your explanation, it seems that this world has already been swept away by the dimensional war, but what is the point of preventing the undead from coming to a world that is certain to be destroyed?”
Yoosung’s eyes were twitching.
I could understand the word dimension war because there was a story I heard when I first entered the community, but it was because it was the first time that the story of destruction was confirmed.
“What do you mean when you say that destruction is fixed? Is it a metaphor for something?”
“no. Literally. From the moment it was swept away by the dimensional war, that world was already destined to perish.”
“Why are you so sure? Couldn’t we stop the invasion?”
“Do you really think so?”
Harnack’s expressionless face showed emotion for the first time.
it was a laugh
“I don’t know how developed this world is, how prosperous it is, or how strong it is, but those things mean nothing in the face of a dimensional war. There is no such thing as a winner in a dimensional war. There are only losers.”
In everything there is an antipode.
Where there is heaven, there is earth; where there is yin, there is yang; where there is action, there is reaction.
Of course, where there are losers, there must also be winners.
Harnack denied such a natural law.
“We don’t know who started the war, when or how. One thing is for sure: the war was deliberately waged by some being, not by chance or accident. In the beginning, there would have been winners and losers. the war will be over But somehow, the war broke out again.”
You can’t go to war forever.
No matter how overwhelmingly victorious you win, no matter how many victories you win, there will always be a moment when you can’t handle the damage and lose.
The problem started from here.
“The number of dimensions is infinite, the dimensions swept by war are infinite, and the losers wandering through the gaps in dimensions are also infinite. No matter how powerful it is. If you defeat one, you get two, if you defeat two, you get four, if you defeat four, you get eight… … . Once the location is specified due to the dimensional war, infinite losers from infinite dimensions rush in randomly. And if that dimension goes beyond what it can handle… … .”
Harnack raised his fist and opened it with a ‘pop’ sound.
It was a metaphor that even a three-year-old could understand.
“This is how it goes. That’s why there are only losers. Can you understand me now? Sooner or later, the destruction of this world has already been confirmed. But I don’t see why I should stop my subjects from coming.”
“So you’re saying you have no intention of stopping it?”
“Yes. The subjects who wandered through the dimensional rift can take a short break in this world, so why do we have to stop it?”
“… … .”
“Is that the end of the matter? If you have nothing more to say, I would like you to leave.”
“… … You said the reason the undead come is because you are here, but if you get rid of you, the undead won’t come anymore?”
Sudden banter and blatant questions.
Harnack’s eyes narrowed.
“Did you not understand even though I explained that to you?”
“No, I understand.”
“But why?”
“Are you stupid? You’re going to perish someday, so give up? How is that different from saying that people die anyway, but why do they live?”
A stream of golden and silver light began to spread through the hall centered on the meteor.
A fog of energy that confuses even Lucifer and hinders not only sight but also exploration by the senses.
Yuseong, who was wrapped in gold and silver mist all over his body, gathered all the energy of his entire body using the Mugeuk Ilwon Gong to become a shooting star.
It’s like the speed of light.
Meteor and Cassim and Olga, who were watching from behind, also thought that Harnack would allow the attack.
But the reality was different.
bang!
A new type of meteor came to a halt with a powerful shockwave.
It was because Harnack blocked the fist with one hand, without retreating even a step, using Tyrant’s superpower, Muguk Ilwongong’s supernatural ability, and three energies.
“Awesome. That’s a lot of power. I can even beat a dragon with this.”
Recognizing that the shooting star was blocked, Yooseong immediately pulled back his fist and fired a follow-up shot.
Although the power of each one is low, it is a thunder thrust that can deliver quick combos.
In an instant, dozens of fists covered Harnak’s entire body.
But none could penetrate Harnack’s defenses.
“He has quite usable skills, but he is still a frog in the well. For this body that has conquered the five dimensions… … .”
As the thorny vines that rose from Meteor’s fingertips began to climb up his arms and up his face, Harnack’s face hardened terribly.
It’s just a vine that can’t even scratch the skin, but I felt an intense danger from that vine that I’ve never felt before in my life.
aaang!
With a deafening explosion, the meteor pierced the walls of the temple and ricocheted hundreds of meters before crashing into a corner of the city.
Harnack, apparently not satisfied with that, stretched out his hand in the direction the meteor had flown.
The temple, no, the entire city, began to tremble at the energy that radiated from Harnak’s body.
At the moment of desperation, it was two other users who saved Meteor.
baton method. foot structure (撥狗朝天).
Harnack did not even nod at the meteor’s attack, but the blow with the batting stick lifted Harnack’s arm upward with ease.
Quaaa!
In the underground where not a single light shines, a brilliant sun suddenly shines down.
It was thanks to the gigantic beam fired from Harnak’s hand that blew away the ceiling of the temple and even a large amount of soil and rocks and pierced a hole leading to the ground.
“Is this crazy?”
Embarrassment escaped Cassim’s mouth.
Harnack’s other hand had stronger energy than before, but the direction the palm was facing was the place where the meteor had flown.
Realizing that he did not have enough time to open the baton once again, Kassim unfolded Blink and teleported to Harnak’s palm.
Pajijijik!
Countless magical letters and patterns appeared on Kasim’s body and began to block the rays.
It was a defensive magic that he always wore.
The time the magic letters and patterns blocked the beam was only about a second, but that was enough.
“Eternal Ice Citadel.”
What a bummer!
A huge ice wall suddenly appeared.
Surprisingly, the ray of light that pierced the ground tens of meters thick could not penetrate the ice wall and was scattered.
“Just like humans, how many times have you been surprised today… … .”
“I’ll come and see Yoosung’s condition! Please hold on for a moment!”
Harnack stared blankly at the woman running away with her back turned to him.
I couldn’t understand what the woman was talking about, so I panicked for a while.
‘Wait a minute? What do you mean? Is there one more?’
A meteor that flew away after being hit with an attack with all its might.
And the man who was turned to ashes by his attack.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no one else.
Believing he had been deceived, Harnack threw himself in the direction the meteor had flown with an angry look on his face.
No, I was going to blow it up.
“I’m sorry if you ignore me.”
Staff blocking the way.
In Harnack’s eyes, a skeleton staring at him with a red naturalized flower on fire entered.
“… … rich?”
“To be precise, Elder Lich. Normally, I regret it because I couldn’t sleep, eat, or act as a man, but when I see it like this, I think I made a good purchase.”
“Funny. It’s really fun. I’ve experienced various dimensions so far, but I can only count on one hand the ones I enjoy.”
Toys that suddenly came after a long period of boredom.
Hoping that these toys would not be easily damaged, Harnak raised an ominous aura all over his body.
this is not a game
