Past Life Returner

Chapter 311

Yeon-Hee and Seong-Il sped up. The two were planning to get rid of Joshua before his troops in the back joined him. Joshua had sworn allegiance to me, not to Yeon-Hee, so I wondered if Joshua’s current actions were considered a betrayal. It could be a reasonable choice for him to succeed me after my death.

However, going after Yeon-Hee was no different from aiming at my family. In the end he wouldn’t be able to avoid the anger of the revived emperor. If he didn’t die at the hands of Yeon-Hee and Seong-Il, then I would finish him off myself!

The strange thing was that Joshua and his attackers didn’t slow down even though he had figured out that Yeon-Hee was approaching him with a Location Seeker.

Yeon-Hee said while running as if she was in doubt, “Isn’t it weird?”

“Can you not sense anything?” Seong-Il asked in return.

She shook her head. “It’s too far. Let’s wait and see. It’s too early to judge anything.”

When the distance between the two groups narrowed, Yeon-Hee sensed someone using telepathy.

A sepulchral voice connected to her mind.

- Mary.

Yeon-Hee replied brightly.

- Hey!

Joshua asked.

- Do you think it’s possible?

Yeon-Hee then said.

- What? Oh… You must be suspicious of your ability since you saw me, right? But it’s impossible. You are far inferior to me.

Joshua huffed gloomily

- How rude. I’m asking if you could get through the ones coming from the central area.

Yeon-Hee responded confidently.

- Of course. You guys are all pieces of cake to me.

Joshua suddenly asked.

- Is it Kwon Seong-Il next to you?

Yeon-Hee said sweetly.

- Yeah, he is getting ready to break your head.

Joshua responded.

- Looks like he is alive. I’ll buy you time. My corps is out of my control.

Yeon-Hee growled.

- It seems to me that you are the one who dragged them here.

Joshua paused before finally saying.

- …Get away as far as you can, Mary. We won’t see each other again as long as Odin is dead. We should take care of our own business from now on. This will be my last time showing respect to his girl.

Yeon-Hee narrowed her eyes.

- So? Are you saying that you will give up the rewards?

Joshua replied.

- I’m not going to take it even though the System offers them.

Yeon-Hee chided him.

- Joshua, Joshua. You are completely mistaken, aren’t you? Don’t you know I hold everyone’s lives in my hands, not just yours? You of all people should know about how far I can go than anyone else. Well, fine. So what is your plan? What if I didn’t show up in front of you? Were you going to hide and protect me?

Joshua responded mildly.

- Since you are his girl, I will protect you until the last day. He seems to have loved you with all his heart.

Yeon-Hee snorted.

- I didn’t know you could say something sweet like that.

Joshua interrupted.

- The important thing is after that, Mary. It’s time for you to choose.

Yeon-Hee asked, somewhat confused.

- Choose what?

Joshua clarified.

- Someone has to retrieve his great legacy. Jonathan is not the one. He should die here.

Yeon-Hee quipped.

- Ah, too bad, so sad. What you think is going to happen won’t happen because Odin will be resurrected. You won’t believe it, but just keep that in mind.

- Keuk, keuk.

His short laugh meant that he thought her claim was ridiculous.

Yeon-Hee answered.

- I knew you would react like that.

Joshua stopped laughing and asked.

- So, what are you going to do?

Yeon-Hee mused.

- Odin must have so many legacies.

Joshua scoffed.

- The rewards of the assassination quest are rubbish.

They had gotten to the point where they could see each other’s faces without increasing their Sense. Seong-Il was ready, and Yeon-Hee’s pet also looked like it would explode into its real shape at any moment and jump into Joshua’s squad.

At that time, Joshua’s feelings must have been delivered to Yeon-Hee.

- Odin must be very proud, but I know that it only takes a second for someone to change their mind. You should show your loyalty to him with your actions.

- I haven’t heard an answer yet.

- The suggestion is not even worth thinking about it. I told you what you think won’t happen.

Joshua insisted.

- He is dead.

Yeon-Hee shook her head.

- No, he is inside me. So, tell your corps the truth too. You don’t seem to be sociable at all, but you can’t shout at them, right?

- …

- Join the central area as soon as you roughly sort things out. Yes, this is a request from Odin’s girl.

Joshua and his immediate attack squad turned around, and he didn’t say anything to his corps. Without telling anyone that I would be resurrected in the future, he and his corps jumped into thousands of Awakened, accompanied by a large number of summoners that had appeared after Joshua used his main skill, ‘Osiris’s Domain.’

“We were lucky. The most tricky guy is on our side now,” Yeon-Hee said as she ran.

Seong-Il scratched his head. “This will only make me a bad guy. I thought Osiris would be the first one to betray. But is that true that he didn't?”

“Did you hear us earlier?” she asked.

He nodded. “Yeah, a little bit.”

“I guess you did level up a lot in the meantime.”

Seong-Il remarked, “I couldn’t hear you guys well, but I heard about Odin’s resurrection for sure.”

“That’s right. You don’t believe it either, do you?” she asked.

He stuttered, “D…do you have proof?”

Yeon-Hee snorted, “If I had any, things would have been quite different. I wouldn’t have been chased around either.”

“Are you just believing in that? Or is there a skill or insignia that made it happen? Or privileges?” Seong-Il’s face became flushed as he started to have hope.

Yeon-Hee stated, “Let’s say that it is a privilege. Odin has become immortal.”

“...Fuck. Are you teasing me? Because I’m stupid?” he snapped suddenly.

Yeon-Hee barked out a laugh. “Yes, it’s fucking nonsense, but that’s true, Seong-Il. Odin will be back.”

“Ah! Ah…”

Seong-Il shuddered, then pointed at the front with his chin again.

“I have good news, noona. Over on that side…”

The two of them could still see many people pouring in towards the central region. The number of Awakened running over was a little over a thousand.

Seong-Il continued, “They are the residents of the Savior’s city. I don’t know about others, but they are trustworthy. Look at them. They are hard-working even when they become badly injured.”

“Are they the ones? The fanatics?” Yeon-Hee asked.

“Yes, noona.” Seong-Il nodded and then said, “Osiris has a plague attack team, and Odin has residents of the Savior’s city. I’m a hundred percent sure that they are coming to help you, not kill you.”

Although they were sometimes divided into different attack squads, it was said that their unity was indeed stronger than others. These Awakened were the ones who had gone through Act Two, Stage One with me, and they had been excluded by various groups in the Final Stage.

They were labeled fanatics because their beliefs toward me had gone too far. They came all the way here through the Kciphos Corps that they were in charge of dealing with.

Seong-Il jumped ahead, and sure enough, no ensuing battle started. As soon as they saw Seong-Il, they immediately stopped what they were doing and lowered their heads.

He complimented them, “Good job coming all the way here. It must have been really tough.”

They reported that forty percent of their original number had died during the battle against the Kciphos.

In the central area, Orca’s clones were all dead just as my admirers had reported. However, Orca seemed to have been expanding its territory with all its might. A fairly large area was now all swampland.

Orca had become more powerful after killing Amon, which had been the mother creature who had given birth to it. Therefore, the tentacles that it made were fluttering everywhere in the swamp. The power there was comparable to the power that the Grand Duke used to hold.

Yeon-Hee gazed up at Orca, which looked like a gigantic tree, while patting it.

“It’s not bad. Right? Orca is quite useful,” Yeon-Hee asked and turned her head.

Seong-Il was looking at the creature, then Yeon-Hee’s gaze shifted back. At this point, Orca was so strong that even Seong-Il wouldn’t be able to beat it on a one to one fight. It was watching everyone with a look as if it was sitting on a throne.

“It’s gotten more dangerous, but I guess it isn’t a big deal to you, right?” Seong-Il finally asked.

Yeon-Hee pursed her lips. “Well… But that kid also knows that Odin will be resurrected.”

Seong-Il shook his head. “I don’t see how you could see something like that as a kid. You are too generous. By the way, shouldn’t you be sleeping? Osiris won’t be able to hurt the whole group. Like he said, he will just buy a bit of time for us. You should take care of yourself when you have time…”

[Guild: Kciphos Corps has entered the first weakening phase. The Kciphos Corps’s attack power will be significantly reduced.]

[Guild: Graf Clan has entered the first weakening phase. The Graf Clan’s attack power will be significantly reduced.]

Seong-Il sighed. “I told you, noona. There is not much time left. Although I’m stupid, it’s so obvious. Even if Lee Tae-Han and the King of Hell don’t betray you, they won’t be able to control the ones below them. There are so many Awakened in this world, and it hasn’t been that long since they were assigned to be under those two.”

“That’s why I’m saying this. Don’t you realize how much we all depended on Odin?” Yeon-Hee suddenly said.

Seong-Il blinked. “Excuse me?”

Yeon-Hee clarified, “Until now, we have been able to be quiet and united under that one name.”

Seong-Il sighed. “Anyway, I hope he revives soon. If… that’s true.”

When dawn broke, Joshua joined them. I couldn’t see more than one of his three immediate attack squads. After putting together everything along with what Joshua just reported from under his hood, it seemed that it would take quite a while for the others to break through the plague-infested lands that Joshua and his people had spread in the area.

Joshua looked to be calculating what he could do within Orca’s realm, just as what Yeon-Hee did when she first entered here. Then, Yeon-Hee said, “It’s up to that kid’s ability, not us.”

Joshua turned his head toward Orca.

He then said, “But that’s a monster.”

She shrugged. “And it’s the master of this realm. What are you going to do? Are you still thinking the same way?”

Joshua paused before finally saying, “...You are quite twisted, too.”

“Let me be clear. I have no intention of dying here with you guys. If things don’t work out, then I’m going to get out of here. That will be incredibly easy for me. You know that, right? But if you fight with all your might, I will never forget it.”

“Gosh, noona.”

Seong-Il walked out from behind Yeon-Hee’s back.

“Osiris seems to have made up his mind, so stop bothering him. He is on our side now.”

Joshua quipped, “Ah, you must have improved your English skills instead of just leveling up.”

Seong-Il rolled his eyes. “There is a thing called ‘feeling.’ By the way, things are getting unusual outside.”

“Well, it’s about time for them to show up. Where are they coming from?” Yeon-Hee asked.

Seong-Il replied, “From the King of Hell.”

“How many?”

“There are so many that I can’t even count. Approximately thirty thousand?”

“Is Jonathan there?”

“The King of Hell doesn’t seem to be coming. I overheard the conversation between them.”

“So, it’s not just based on your Sense.”

Seong-Il shook his head. “No, noona. The King of Hell is fighting against the monster corps. Anyway, so many are coming from that side. I’m certain that they are not coming to help. I can hear them saying the word ‘kill.”

Yeon-Hee said to Joshua, “There will be more than one hundred thousand people, including those coming from your corps, right?”

“What about those from your corps?” Joshua asked.

Yeon-Hee smiled grimly. “They are busy getting beaten up by Lee Soo-Ah. There are only two scenarios for that. Either the Light Pillar will get destroyed or they will turn toward here to kill me. Well, the other possibility is to fight to the end there and go to hell.”

Yeon-Hee continued, “Anyway, Lee Tae-Han is different from those who carried out things recklessly. You and my guys went crazy for the rewards no matter how much they feared us before. If he makes up his mind, then he will gather up everyone and come here because he didn’t reign with fear. On the flip side, if Lee Tae-Han doesn’t betray us, then he will tie up his corps as much as possible.”

Yeon-Hee added, “But I don’t know if this stage will be ruined before then or not.”

***

Multiple groups surrounding the four sides of the Orca’s territory entered in flocks. They were prepared as if they were targeting a high-class dungeon. Yeon-Hee and her party fought every day, and I was afraid that her impatience would break the Life Vessel that I was in.

Anyway…

[Guild: The Baclan Corps has destroyed the Mary Corps’s Light Pillar.]

[Guild: The negative effects of the Baclan Corps (First weakening) have disappeared.]

Jonathan was in charge of the Baclan Corps, which Mary’s Corps had left unattended. That was the result of combining all the messages. He didn’t disappoint me. Instead of running to Yeon-Hee, he was continuing to fight against the monster corps with only the troops that had stayed.

Meanwhile, the ones who had escaped from the Lee Tae-Han’s Corps began to enter the latest as Yeon-Hee had expected. They came over a span of many days, and there were days when they delivered sad news.

Apparently, Lee Tae-Han had been attacked by his executives and went missing. When we got that news, I was at my last stage before resurrection. My perseverance had finally paid off, and I no longer had to sit inside Yeon-hee and do nothing.

Tik tok.
