The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

Chapter 145 Silver Twilight (2)

Nyalatotem.

When Chung-ah first heard the name, he doubted whether he could be trusted.

She said she had a thousand faces, she said she was purely after her fun.

If she thinks it will be more fun than keeping her loyalty just because she's been with her for a long time, stand on the other side without changing her face color.

It could be Nyalatotem.

“How to stop Crowe? It's wrong, it's not Klulu that you have to stop. A silver twilight journal.”

' said Nee Allatotem, fiddling with the handheld game console.

“It seems that Klulu is lending power as if they are representing his will. no. Just like when he shoots and kills people with a magic gun, his will is the shooter, not his magic power.”

“Does that mean that the Silver Twilight Society represents Crowe?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Whether the population grows or shrinks, whatever the Earth is, what does it matter from Cthulu's point of view?”

Soon-won looked at Monk Chung-ah.

She looked a little perplexed, too.

“How did they get such power?”

Nyalatotem's gaze turned to Cheng-Ah.

“I don’t know. And ask the right questions. What you want is how to defeat the powerful wizards who dictate the power of Klulu, isn't it?"

“Is there a way?”

“Those with opposing powers. One who opposes Crowe. You can borrow Haster's power."

Soon-won expressed his displeasure at those words.

“To borrow the power of another being… .”

“I have two children. After a fist fight, one child ran to her parents and borrowed a gun. Then, if you borrow a gun, it's equal, isn't it?"

Soon-won thinks the analogy of Nyalatotem is strange, but he is not wrong.

I thought it was you

There were 10 9 circle wizards, but I couldn't fight against them and win.

“Borrowing power usually costs a reasonable price. What is the cost?”

“That must be the heart of the lender. how is it? Gummy pulls? If you want, I'll guide you to where my guy is."

Soon-won looked at Team Leader Kim Soo-young.

“What are they doing now?”

“It’s gone. At first, I was clumsy at putting on IT devices, but then I got up to speed.

Come on, it’s impossible to track now.”

What appeared to be in North Korea only appeared like that by going around overseas communication bases to avoid tracking, and it was not known where and what they were preparing.

“Everyone, gather around.”

Soon-won listened to the opinions of his gathered companions.

Johann asked the surviving government officials in each country for cooperation and suggested that they fight together.

Karin said she did not know, and Monk Chung-ah and Ji-hee were in the position to watch a little more.

“How about asking Dynamis for help?”

Team Leader Kim Soo-young said.

Dynamis, who became a seraphim, often appeared in this world while crossing dimensions to eliminate the angels who were on the side of Kunlun.

“He’s busy keeping up with Ambassador Kunlun. If he intervenes, Kunlun Ambassador can also appear in this edition. I want to avoid that.”

Soon-won looked at Nyarlathotep as if he had made up his mind.

“First, I want to meet a god named Haster and share this story.”

“Okay then, open the portal to E-45.”

Soon-won created a portal.

Soon-won and Nyalatotem followed the people.

“Wow! The only people going to see Haster are me and Soon-won.”

Jihee's expression turned cold.“I will go too.”

"No."

“I will go.”

Soon-won stopped the two of them.

“Ji-hee, I’m going alone, so I’m here.”

"However… .”

“Ji-hee, you focus on restoring your original strength. If I get back to the ninth circle before the fight starts, that alone will be enough strength.”

Jihee nodded her head with a stern expression on her face.

Soon-won greeted his party, saying he will be back soon, and entered the portal with Nyala Totem.

A hill overlooking the dense forest.

A high mountain covered with snow was seen in the distance.

wiggle wiggle.

There were many people on the hill.

Like a base camp point ahead of a high mountain climb, many people were preparing for the itinerary.

“What is all this?”

Everyone's clothes are different.

it was

It was strange to see that people from all over the world in this dimension had gathered.

Looking at the costumes that transcend the ages, all the people here seemed to have gathered from different dimensions.

“ Soon-won. Follow me."

As I walked along Nyalatotem's drag, there was a ticket office. There was a banner there, which I had seen for the first time, but just by looking at it, the meaning entered my mind.

- Free admission to Haster's Forest

Nyarlathotep went to the ticket office staff and asked.

“What is all this doing?”

“I see a lot of new people these days. Welcome. This is a place where people who come to Haster to borrow power gather and compete. See that snow-capped mountain in the distance? Only those who reach there first can meet Mr. Haster.”

“Huh? You're doing something pretty funny, aren't you?"

Nyarlathotep smiled and took two tickets.

The ticket office staff pointed to the next booth.

“When you enter the forest, various abilities are sealed, and you cannot use subspaces or subspace pockets. So, pack the things you need in that backpack.”

When I went to the breakout, many people picked up food and weapons and put them in their backpacks.

"what are you doing? Soon-won, you choose too.”

There was a clock in the square.

Departure time is 1 hour left.

Soon-won completely understands this situation.

he didn't go

“Is it so different from what I thought?”

“I don’t know what I was thinking, but once I choose, I don’t have time.”

I entered the small wooden plank building entrance, and inside, a huge space reminiscent of a large mart appeared.

From food to weapons and daily necessities, this place seemed to contain everything in the world.

“From this point on, I won’t be able to look around all of them, so I will have to bring only what I need.”

It seemed like it would take over an hour just to get out of the entrance if we went deep.

I'll take care of myself soon-won, you move as you do. See you at the entrance here in 50 minutes.”

“Aren’t you going together?”

"Why? Are you sorry to leave with me?”

Nyarlatto Tap, who had the appearance of a girl, smiled round and round.

“No, it’s not that I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I might have put a bunch of strange things in my backpack.”

“Sheesh, you are doing well.”

Nyala Totem snorted her and disappeared into her crowd.

Soon-won is the one he needs instead of going to the mart.

He took things out of the room, stuffed them into a backpack, and instead went to what appeared to be the break room and sat down next to the seemingly idle man.

"Hello."

The man in his fifties was wearing thick clothes, but his body looked tight.

He was preparing everything like an expedition to conquer a high mountain.

“Can I ask you something?”

At Soon-won's polite question, the man nodded his head.

“Yes.”

“I came here for the first time, and I wonder how long you have been here… .”

"me? I am five months old.”

“Five months?”

“I miss first place every time, so I keep doing this every day. By the way, seeing you came all the way here, you must have been desperate, didn't you?"

“Are you desperate?”

“Isn’t everyone here to borrow Haster-sama’s power?”

“Yeah, what… .”

“It will not be easy. every day people

They start, but the moment the first place appears in the forest, the rest all return to their starting point. Then you have to start over again, start again, and then go back to the starting point again. Thousands of people believe they can be number one this time.”

I added a word there.

“One person goes out a day, but there are a lot of new people like you. Everyone came here desperately, so look over there.”

I saw where the man was pointing.

There was a large meadow in the vacant lot that looked out of the window, and there was a tent

it rained

“These are the people who decided to give up the competition and spend the rest of their lives here. I'm not pretty Because there is a mart next door full of free food.”

“Where is the forest?”

“Yes, this person, do you look like a hogu who kindly explains everything to a competitor I meet for the first time?”

"Have you eaten?"

Soon-won took out various dishes from the subspace.

Not the instant food sold at the mart, but the food prepared by the chefs in Ah Space.

Put it in and it was warm.

Food that can only be seen in a top-notch restaurant after a long wait was spread out in front of us.

“Hey, you were a powerful wizard.”

As if the man had lost, he sliced the steak and shoved it into his mouth.

“It’s a pity, I have that kind of ability, but my ability is sealed, so I have to compete with an ordinary person like me.”

“Are there any caveats in the forest?”

“There are traps and monsters in the forest, but the most important thing is people. person

You just have to be careful.”

“A man?”

“You idiots making up a team. What would you do if you formed a team in a game where only 1st place wins anyway? When you reach the end, teams that have been confirmed to be betrayed tend to creak from the beginning.”

He pointed to his arm to see. There were deep cuts engraved on it.

“Going to the mountains is not a sprint. long-distance There are humans who find it more fun to disturb, harass, and kill other people than to get to the finish line. have to watch out for them

Sun."

It seemed that he was trying to give advice as much as the food he ate, so the man continued his explanation without a break.Soon-won was able to get a rough idea of what the forest was like by listening to his experiences for five months.

“Um, it’s almost time. Then I'll just go ate well.”

“Yes, thanks for the advice.”

The man left.

Soon-won found Nyalatotem in the distance, with a backpack full.

“Did you go shopping?”

At Soon-won's words, she grinned.

"then."

I decided not to ask what was inside.

When I went out of the mart, in front of the starting point, as if people were about to run a marathon, many people gathered and watched the clock on the current sign set to zero.

- Depart

"let's go!"

"run!"

“Go ahead a little faster!”

"Move. Move!"

There was no riot like this.

There were people running hurriedly from the front, while others moving slowly with a relaxed expression behind them.

“They say that the people who run are people who have just come here, and those who walk leisurely are veterans who have been here for a while.”

"okay? Did you do any research?”

“I don’t think it’s a place where you can reach a goal by running in a hurry.”

Soon-won tried to open a subspace.

Then a message window appeared.
