Chapter 177: Chapter 177
foreign god
Outer Gods
There are many different names of gods on Earth, but as far as Suho knows, there has never been a god called by that name.
If there is only one.
"Italim."
[It seems that the apostles of Italim have begun their activities on Earth in earnest.]
Ber glared at the screen Laura was showing with narrowed eyes.
"According to the investigation, Christopher Reed's mansion appears to have been used as a temple for foreign religions."
"sanctuary? Could it be that there were other Itarim apostles there as well?"
"I presume that is not the case. "It seems that the only Apostle of Italim that our boss dealt with was the one who took the body of Christopher Reed, and the rest were all just his followers."
Suho suddenly noticed something strange in Laura's words.
"I think I did it? "Aren't you sure?"
"yes. The others were all caught up in the battle between Boss and Christopher Reed and died, making exact confirmation impossible. But the strange thing is, every time Christopher Reed killed his supposed followers, his power grew stronger."
"...It's a similar situation to the time of the Gwanghyeolma."
Esil, who was listening quietly next to her with his arms crossed, changed.
"It seems like our demons are being raised well somewhere. "In many ways."
Esil Ladir, the only demon noble.
She gritted her teeth with an expression of utmost resentment.
Those who made stardust in the first place were demons, but the most important ingredient in stardust was also demon blood.
In short, the so-called foreign religions are now thoroughly using demons for their own purposes.
And the purpose is clearly...
'They are probably trying to find a vessel that can absorb the power of Itarim and make them their own limbs.'
And the most qualified are those who were national power-level hunters in their previous lives.
Suho looked at Esil and Lim Do-gyun and said.
"Esil, haven't you heard anything about the Light-Blooded Demon from your subordinate demons?"
"There wasn't much income. In the first place, those guys didn't even know that the Light Blood Demon was an apostle of Italim. "But just in case, I'll go back and find out."
"okay. Please do me a favor. And Dokyun hyung."
"Yes?"
"Please look into the dungeons that our guild will be targeting in the future that are infested with demon-type monsters. "If we start by shaking things up in our country, something will come out."
"okay."
Suho decided to use this opportunity to eliminate all evil factories in Korea.
Then, wouldn't something come out, whether it's an apostle of Italim or a foreign religion?
"Laura, do you have any other information about the Foreign Religion?"
"yes. We are continuing to investigate, but it appears to be a secret organization whose true identity has never been identified. "If it had been an ordinary pseudo-religion, there would have been many believers."
"Then let's reverse the order."
"On the contrary?"
Suho recalled the conversation Christopher Reed had with his counselor.
If everything he said was true, 'they' approached him first.
If so, there was a high possibility that they would approach others first as well.
He might already be hovering nearby, looking for an opportunity.
"...So, if we hover near those hunters and keep watching their movements, wouldn't something come out?"
"That's natural, but the problem is that it has become difficult for our scavenger guild to carelessly interfere in countries other than the United States."
As Thomas Andre said directly to Suho, for the time being, Skevinje was in a situation where he had to buy his body.
However, Suho had no intention of just giving up.
"I have another way."
"Are you really planning on going in person?"
"no. "I have someone to send instead."
Suho smiled and answered.
* * *
"Guardian! Thanks for inviting me! "This is a housewarming gift!"
"...Why are you here so fast?"
"I came running at full speed! Because Suho is my friend!"
Asura Guild's B-class hunter Rio Xing.
As soon as he received the call from Suho, he immediately rushed to Woojin Guild's office.
He even had a gift wrapped in both his hands.
After Lio Xing saw Laura and greeted her warmly, he told her about what he was up to these days.
"These days, I am in charge of the business of purchasing weapons from Blacksmith in Korea and sending them to the guild!"
Rio Xing was demoted to Korea and failed to recruit Suho, but he did not give up and took a new opportunity for himself.
"Korean weapons are of very good quality! "I heard that the Korean Hunter Association is supporting it, which is really amazing!"
Lio Xing had just become more proficient in Korean.
"But what is the reason you called me?"
Lio Xing didn't think that given Suho's personality, he would have called him for no reason.
Moreover, since he had Laura from the Skevin's Guild in the same place, he was able to sense his purpose with his instinctive business sense.
"Are you talking about Echo Forest's spring water and detox potion?"
"That's almost correct."
"Lio Xing, we would like to sell a detox potion to the Asura Guild."
Laura stepped forward and presented her contract to Lio Xing, formally proposing business.
Lio Xing glanced over the contract and nodded his head with a bright expression.
"If it is such a good offer, of course I would like it. But what are these requirements? Would you like the guild leader to taste it himself?"
"yes. This is a courtesy promotional purpose. "Our detox potion has not been promoted yet, so the mere fact that someone like the guild leader of the Asura Guild tried it himself will have a significant publicity effect."
"I'm sure so."
Hearing Laura's explanation, Lio Xing nodded his head, his eyes sparkling.
Since he had already been to the Glacier Dungeon, he knew very well about the efficacy of the spring water in the Echo Forest.
"This is a huge undertaking! "I'm sure I'll get promoted this time!"
"...You don't even hide your true feelings anymore."
"ha ha ha."
After laughing heartily, Rio Xing contacted the Asura Guild Leader and succeeded in receiving confirmation of his demands.
And he immediately signed all the contracts presented to him by Suho and Laura.
"This business is very important, so I have to go to the guild myself."
"Lio Xing, let me ask you one favor."
"What are you asking? "He entrusted me with such a big project, and I will listen to anything Suho asks."
Suho spoke with a serious expression to Lio Xing, who was smiling happily.
"Be careful of the guild leader."
"Our guild leader? why?"
Hearing the strange words, Lio Xing looked puzzled.
Suho's eyes were too serious to simply dismiss it as nonsense.
Suho recalled the information he had heard from Ber in his head.
There are a total of five people who were national power-level hunters in their past lives.
Among them, the names of the four people who used the ruler's power, excluding one healer, were as follows.
1. Thomas Andre of the United States
2. Christopher Reed of the United States
3. Liu Zhikang of China
4. Siddharth Bachchan of India
The previous two have already been resolved, and only the remaining two need to be confirmed.
And the first person Suho paid attention to was none other than the fourth.
Siddharth Bachchan of India.
He was none other than the guild leader of the 'Asura Guild'.
"An unidentified group called the Foreign Religion may have approached your guild leader, Siddharth Bachchan."
"Foreign religion? "What is that?"
"Do you remember Thomas Andre's appearance in the Glacier Dungeon?"
"...!"
Since we had been through that situation together, there was no need for further explanation.
Lio Xing made a shocked expression as he remembered the image of Thomas Andre transforming into a huge ice dragon and running wild.
"Are you saying that our guild leader will be like that too?"
"Nothing is certain yet. So, can you take a look when I get back to the guild?"
"Of course. "Even so, I have a lot of respect for our guild leader."
Rio Singh boasted like that and packed a lot of detox potion to feed to Siddharth Bachchan.
Meanwhile, Suho's eyes glanced at his own shadow.
'Kira, follow me.'
Slurp.
Then, Suho's shadow grew longer, and shadow assassin Kira hid in Lio Xing's shadow.
Suho's eyes sparkled as he saw that.
This was an opportunity to use the new skills he had acquired by completing the quest his father had given him.
* * *
[yes? You found a dragon egg?!]
When Suho entered the shadow dungeon with the 'Egg of Kamish', the person who was most surprised was queen bee Arsha.
"huh. "Her mother sent it to me, saying she found it in the tomb of the wild dragons."
[oh my god. It's real...?]
Arsha felt dizzy as she looked at the egg in Suho's hand.
Although it was too small to be a dragon egg, the dragon energy gently flowing out of it was real.
That energy continued to stimulate Arsha's survival instinct.
she asked, as Arsha looked at Kamish's egg with a reluctant expression.
[Why did you bring this... dangerous thing here?]
"Of course I brought it because it was dangerous. "You're safe here, right?"
Suho shrugged his shoulders and responded.
"Just like my mother said, I think it would be safer here than putting it in the tomb of the wild dragons or on Earth. Besides, if something happens here..."
[Crook?]
As he said those words, Suho's gaze slightly shifted to the side.
Ammut, the huge crocodile monster there, showed his teeth with an extremely ferocious smile.
[If it comes to this, can I just chew it and eat it?]
"hmm. After all, this is the right place."
It was very reassuring.
Suho nodded his head, satisfied.
"But don't really eat it. "Maybe this egg could be the last remaining descendant of the dragon race."
Ver also agreed with Suho's words and nodded his head.
[There is a strong possibility that this is the case. At that time, the Dragon Emperor led all the dragons under his command into battle.]
Ber frowned as he remembered that terrible war.
'Dragon Emperor'
Antares, the king of the bright dragons and the lord of destruction, was the only monarch who overpowered the shadow lord Seong Jin-woo.
He was the strongest dragon in name and reality, and the light dragons he led were also an invincible army, each with tremendous strength and magic.
The Dragon Emperor was a true embodiment of destruction who did not hesitate to destroy himself for the sake of a war filled with blood, screams, madness, and destruction.
That's why Seong Jin-woo pushed back against the Dragon Emperor's army even more thoroughly.
But that's why, the more I looked back, the more amazing I was at the Dragon Emperor's power.
At the time, the Shadow Corps led by Seong Jin-woo had absorbed the troops of all other monarchs.
Nevertheless, Yongje fought fiercely with Seong Jin-woo until the very last moment against that enormous army.
Of course, it was Seong Jin-woo who ultimately won, but it was an unavoidable fact that the Dragon Emperor's Legion was truly the strongest when considered as a single race.
[Well... it's a bit unpleasant to see a new descendant of the Dragon Emperor be born.]
"Well, if you raise it as a 'pet' from a young age, there will be no problem."
Sniff, sniff, sniff.
As he said that, Suho looked at the gray wolf that was clinging to him from earlier.
Gray, a canine wolf tamed through the pet system.
Unlike Arsha, this guy was busy sniffing Kamish's eggs with his beady eyes.
Clap, clap, clap!
Moreover, he flicks his tongue and tastes it.
Meanwhile, the tail was very busy, wagging excitedly.
However, it didn't seem like he really wanted to eat it, and it looked like he had found a fun toy(?) after a long time.
[Well, for now. Just in case, I'll make a nest here.]
Arsha, with her own worker bees, began to build her nest in the corner of Ammut's pyramid, where she would place Kamish's eggs.
Why~
It was a nest, in effect a prison for the monsters that would be born within it.
