Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 150

The Three Kings’ Disciple (151)

150

A gate break is a disaster.

Gates, which are completely different worlds from Earth, contain abundant magic power and monsters that feed on that power.

When a gate breaks, it means that the energy explodes.

Whoosh-!

The first aftermath was a storm of magic power.

“We have to get out of here!”

The second was that monsters from the broken space would come out of the gate and into Earth.

And finally, when the gate completely breaks.

“Look over there!”

The magic power of the gate explodes completely, resulting in massive damage.

The players, who were afraid of the break and tried to run away, pointed to the storm of magic power.

“It’s Dank!”

“It’s Ro-woon!”

When everyone was thinking of running away, the one who was moving forward was Ro-woon.

“No way…! Is he trying to stop the break?”

The players looked at him with trembling eyes.

“Why….”

It didn’t make sense.

Although a break is a disaster, there were others who were supposed to solve it.

Those who control and dominate the power structure.

In Gyeonggi Province, it was the Galaxy Guild and the Association.

They were much stronger and bigger than them, and they would solve this disaster, but Ro-woon chose to go to the gate instead of running away.

“It’s Ro-woon.”

At someone’s words, the players nodded their heads without realizing it.

Ro-woon.

“Right. It was Dank.”

They remembered why they were praised by other players.

A disaster called a gate break.

It was said that the owner of the power structure would solve it, but the reality was different from what they thought.

‘They push the players in.’

They push the players they designate until the break is resolved.

They push in players who are not warriors against the monsters that have gone berserk and strengthened due to the break.

No matter how many die as a result, they don’t care at all.

And if the break is not resolved.

‘They give up.’

They give up on resolving the break.

In the end, the break will face a complete explosion, and most of the monsters that come out of the gate will be cleaned up over time.

The lives of the people who live and make a living near the gate are completely ignored in the process.

They appease the victims by throwing some money at them, but most of them don’t even receive that.

“Galaxy is different, but….”

So far, Galaxy has been showing a different side from such actions of the Silver Lions [a powerful guild known for its ruthless tactics].

“It might be too late when they arrive.”

The storm is unusual.

Originally, a complete break would follow after a considerable amount of time after the magic storm, but it seemed like that time was not far away.

In the meantime, Ro-woon and Dank were breaking through the storm.

People could be sure once again at the sight of them.

“Dank is back.”

They were incredibly foolish, but they were the ones who ignited a fire in people’s hearts.

They were players, not warriors, but they didn’t give up.

Also, they were the ones who fought without bowing their heads anywhere.

“Stop.”

Even now, there were those who were blocking Dank.

“Those Association bastards…!”

Employees of the Player Association.

They barely moved their bodies in the storm and blocked Ro-woon and Dank’s path.

“Move.”

At Ro-woon’s words, the Association employee’s eyes twitched.

“It’s an emergency. No further access is allowed.”

A mechanical tone.

“The Association is in control here, so please step back.”

“I said move.”

Even so, at Ro-woon’s voice, the Association employee put his hand on his waist.

“This bastard…!”

He knew that the man in front of him was Ro-woon of Dank, who had returned.

But so what?

“Are you disobeying the Association’s orders right now?”

They were the Association.

“I’ll say it again, it’s an emergency. It’s a situation equivalent to wartime, and in this case, remember that the Association has the authority over the lives of the players.”

Even if they were trampled by the Silver Lions and ignored by the warriors, they were beings above the players.

“I don’t care if you’re Dank or whatever. If you go any further, I’ll have to follow the manual. If you resist….”

A player laughs in the disaster of the break.

“You’ll have to go back to hell.”

If they disobeyed the Association’s orders, they would have to pay the price.

Even Seo Ha-neul, who was trying to stop Ro-woon, hardened her face.

“Nothing’s changed.”

Her mutter.

“There must be players left inside, right?”

Ro-woon said as if he was annoyed.

“Is it your business?”

The employee stood roughly in front of Ro-woon.

“If this goes on, we won’t be able to stop the break. Don’t you feel like there’s less than thirty minutes left?”

“So, is that your business?”

Smirk.

Ro-woon smiles.

It was as Seo Ha-neul said.

“Idiots.”

Nothing has changed.

“It’s strange enough that a gate break suddenly occurred, so it must be your doing. Are you saying not to interfere with the destruction of evidence?”

Finally.

“Your tongue is too long. Ro-woon of Dank. I’ll….”

The blade was touching Ro-woon’s neck.

The employee was planning to make Ro-woon kneel down with the Association’s authority.

Tremble.

But his body didn’t move as he wanted.

“……Ugh… Ugh….”

His whole body suddenly trembled.

He could feel Ro-woon’s gaze looking down at him coldly.

It felt like his whole body, all his blood vessels, were freezing.

He couldn’t even say a word.

Swoosh.

The employee had to open the way.

“I’ll let you live. That’ll be more painful for you.”

Ro-woon disappears into the storm.

Only then did the Association employees approach the trembling man and support him.

“M-My body….”

The employee who had threatened Ro-woon earlier spoke with a stiff tongue.

“I-I can’t… m-move….”

His whole body was paralyzed, and he couldn’t move.

***

“Thank you….”

Those who were exhausted expressed their gratitude.

“Thank you so much.”

They bowed their heads repeatedly and expressed their gratitude.

They were the players who were left in the gate break.

Thanks to Dank and Ro-woon’s efforts, the complete break was stopped, and they were safely rescued while fighting the monsters.

“…….”

Ro-woon ignored their thanks and passed by.

“Thank you.”

Even so, the players bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude to Ro-woon.

The place was a mess due to the aftermath of the break.

“…….”

Many players who remained there were looking at Ro-woon, who was walking with determined eyes.

They were the ones who tried to run away.

But they stayed here.

“…….”

Although they couldn’t break through the storm like Ro-woon, they were planning to buy time to protect the local residents in the worst situation.

But Ro-woon had finished everything.

“Dan… k….”

A small voice from someone.

“Dank!”

It became a loud shout and spread out.

“Dank! Dank! Dank!”

The players chanted Dank’s name.

“Ro-woon! Ro-woon! Ro-woon!”

They chanted Ro-woon’s name in succession.

Their faces were full of emotion.

“Waaaaaaaah-!”

They started shouting with all their might.

It’s Dank.

It’s Ro-woon.

He’s back.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaah-!”

The one who didn’t give in despite all the oppression, and always tried to stand in front.

The one who didn’t back down because he lacked skills and tried to overcome it somehow.

“Ro-woon-!”

He had truly returned.

It was then.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

The sound of swords clanging echoed from all directions.

“…….”

Silence filled the surroundings.

The voices chanting Ro-woon’s name faded.

“Ro-woon of Dank.”

Those who surrounded Dank and Ro-woon.

“Is it true that you disobeyed the Association’s orders and threatened an Association employee?”

The Association, which had done nothing in the break, moved and surrounded Ro-woon.

“Those… those bastards!”

The players were furious at the sight.

“Answer.”

The Association spoke to Ro-woon as if they couldn’t hear their voices.

“So what if it is?”

“We’ll arrest you. Try to resist. I don’t know how you came back alive, but we’ll throw you into a place even more terrible than a volcano.”

Ro-woon, who had always been a thorn in the Association’s side.

The Association was also watching him, who had returned.

And then.

“Arrest us too.”

One by one, the players began to approach.

“Stop!”

The Association employees shouted at the players, but they didn’t listen.

Swoosh, swoosh.

The players approached and surrounded the Association employees instead.

“…….”

Among them, there were quite a few players who were injured in the break.

“These bastards…!”

The Association employees were flustered and pointed their swords at them.

The number of players surrounding them seemed to be three times more than them.

“Aren’t you afraid of the Association?”

They growled, but.

“Are you going to do this crazy thing? We are the witnesses.”

The players’ voices were louder than that.

“If you try to arrest Ro-woon, we won’t stand still.”

“Don’t think that there won’t be anyone among us who has connections with the Association, right?”

“What’s your position and name? Answer.”

The Association employee’s face turned pale at the voices coming from all directions.

“Th-This….”

They were nothing special when they were alone.

But if they were united, their words were true.

In the narrow world of players, there was no way that there wouldn’t be someone who had ties to the Association, and there might be someone with the power to discipline him.

“Th-This….”

Even if that wasn’t the case, if they all protested in one voice, the Association wouldn’t budge, but he would never be safe.

“Hah.”

In the end, there was only one thing he could do.

“Go.”

To step aside.

He had no choice but to clench his fists and close his eyes tightly.

‘Damn it.’

It was the same as in the past.

Ro-woon, who was at odds with the Association.

Even so, the Association couldn’t do anything to Ro-woon.

Because there were many people on his side, the Association couldn’t do anything with the power they had.

“Idiots.”

Ro-woon walked out with the voice he heard.

“Waaaaaaaah!”

Once again, cheers began to spread.

Seo Ha-neul and the Dank members followed behind him.

Unlike the other members who had worried faces without any emotion.

Shudder.

Seo Ha-neul’s hands were shaking greatly.

The thoughts she had now would be the same as the Association employee.

‘It’s the same.’

The same situation as in the past.

It was always like this.

Ro-woon just did what he thought was right, and people were enthusiastic about it.

Although he didn’t say it openly, Ro-woon protected people, and people also protected Ro-woon.

-Seo Ha-neul.

This shouldn’t have happened.

The situation was completely different from the plan.

Drawing this much attention might not have been what they wanted.

“…….”

Even so, Seo Ha-neul couldn’t stop Ro-woon.

She had also fallen into it.

Back then, in the glorious days of Dank, she had also fallen into it.

“You….”

Kim Jong-soo.

Did he really act perfectly?

“Is it really Kim Jong-soo?”

Seo Ha-neul murmured softly in a voice that Ro-woon couldn’t hear.

She didn’t know.

But she couldn’t ask Ro-woon either.

What if he wasn’t Kim Jong-soo?

Clench.

What should she do?

What face should she make to him?

‘No. That can’t be.’

Thinking that it couldn’t be, Seo Ha-neul followed Ro-woon’s back.

“Waaaaaaaah!”

Still, at this moment, it felt like she had completely returned to the past.

Even though every day was painful, it was the very moment when she was proud and moved.

“Who are you?”

The cold tip of a sword touched Ro-woon’s neck and shone brightly.
