Vol 5 Chapter 6 (1/2)
ACT 6 Dark Piece
“What are you doing? Miners! Dedric, Dei the miners!”
Ark shouted at the lifeless raccoon soldiersPopo’s health was rapidly decreasing
Popo lifted his tre hands
“Ah, Ark-hyung………”
Ark shouted as he grasped Popo’s hands
“Yes, I’h”
“Hyung……did we fail? Eventually……to stop the plans of evil people……isn’t it possible?”
“It’s not over yet!”
“Master, I’ve brought the engineers”
Then Dedric and Dei one behind them
When the engineer poured a potion, Popo’s health was instantly restoredBut the symptom where his health constantly decreased didn’t i
The confused engineer poured a detoxification potion to try and cleanse it out but the result was the same
“Mu Subarutalp is……”
Popo was in a delirious mental state and burst into tears
“da to you?”
He had thought everything was resolved just a few o
But in a short time, the situation immediately became worse The raccoon troops fell into a state of panic and lost their souls and the seal destruction was still continuing And now Popo who he thought of as a little brother was dyingThere are soat once that it wasn’t possible to contain them all
‘Let’s try to save Popo’
Surprisingly, the thing that Ark chose was Popo
And of course, it was not the result of logical judgement
He knew that it was only a NPC And once the seal was broken it would be difficult for Ark and the raccoon troops to survive as well as Popo If he used a rational judgement, he would have decided to ure out a way to stop the seal fro destroyed
But………he couldn’t let Popo die in front of him
It was an eical one
………That is a human
There was nobody that would sacrifice their life for world peace
But there were a lot of people ould sacrifice their life for a person they held affection for
Even if he was good at simple maths, it was one that was full of contradiction But affection wasn’t apros and cons
“Popo, stay withto die I will not let you do so”
Ark grabbed Popo’s hand and used his nursing skill
At that moment, a phenomenon he was unable to understand took place in the vicinity of Ark The shared ti raccoons, even the dust floating in the air……everything went perfectly still
‘What, what the?’
Flash-!
Ark turned around as the green light e from Popo’s eyes became more intenseAnd on one side of the wall, a picture was drawn like a projector screen It was an ie that was stuck in places like the noise in old film
An iround world with its giant trees showed
In the vicinity of the town, s peacefully It was showing a coe fro while holding the hands of his parents
At that ht
‘Author……Red Man?’
The face was lance
The man had red eyes, red hair and a red auraHe wielded a red sword and e a sea of blood Overwhel those, Popo’s parents barely hid PopoThe Red Man had killed all the raccoon fadrasil used all its strength but was not able to resist hidrasil refused and the Red Man aidrasil with his sword
Then, one raccoon attacked the Red Man from the sideIt was Popo who had to hide and watch his parents’ deathsFor vengeance, he had grabbed a dagger and ran after the Red Man However, Popo collapsed bleeding with one blow
Yggdrasil was protecting its own spirit was a defense boundary However, the death of his clan had disturbed the defense enchantment
The Red Man did not
He allowed Popo to chase him for the sake of this moh the enchantic that ed by Yggdrasil
A hu defeat!
However, even in that desperate th, Popo arped to a safe place
This was an arrangement to protect the ancient vow
………The video ended there
At the same time, the brilliance in Popo’s eyes disappeared and the tiain
Suddenly, Ark heard Popo’s voice in his ear
“Ark-hyung”
“Popo……what is it?”
“I think it’s all over now”
There was a light of conviction in Popo’s eyes
“I already died then”
“Died?”
“Because a part of drasil”
“………!”
“Yggdrasil already knew then It couldn’t stop the Red Man with its powers Before being hit with the ic, a part of its spirit moved to uy’s ambitions…it kno”
Popo looked at Ark with new eyes
“Yggdrasil’s awaited saviour was the descendant of Hero Maban…it was Ark-hyung Then he told drasil Now it is my turn”
“Your turn……?”
Ark asked with a worried voice
Popo nodded with a pale smile
“You know The power of Yggdrasil is necessary to protect the seal Now, I’ll give back the power that Yggdrasil gave gur”
Popo pushed Ark and slowly raised his body
And he approached the place where the seal was located eak steps
Ark looked at his form and tried to talk many times, but only closed his mouth He would like to ask but was afraid of the answer Popo lowered his head to the seal for a while and murmured in a low voice
“I wanted to live a little bit more”
“………!”
“Iand discovered the outside world……I would like to hearhad……how he lived……I wanted to know And if possible…If it is possible to say……”
Tears fell from Popo’s eyes
“Noait a minute! Wait, there has to be another way!”
When Ark raised his voice, it surprised him
His partner was a NPC The NPC would clear up the situation
Normally, it would be welcomed with open armsBut it wasn’t possible to do that
He didn’t see any other way But……this was different He didn’t want it settled in such a way It was a NPC but he didn’t want the NPC to disappear forever
However, Popo shook his head
“I’ether……I can’t keep it”
Flash-!
An enored from Popo’s body Like a metal ofwhite
-The current rate of seal destruction: 99, 98, 97…………
The nu down
Once it spontaneously recovered, the round
“Popo……!”
The devastated Ark looked at Popo with blurry eyesThat hen alinal state
Suddenly a deafening cry caedPopo’s health was reduced to 50
“Ugh!”
“Giggling, impertinent raccoon child! This body is an eain!”
It sounded like a voice was co out from hell!
It was Nídhöggur
After Nídhöggur attacked Popo with the fla again
“The hundreds of years If you though I’ve would leave politely after being sealed for hundreds of years then you drasil fuses with you, you will die without a trace from the fires of hell”
“No……I stop……I’ to save you!”
“Impertinent!”
“Ah ah ah ah ack!”
When the fire becaer, Popo’s health decreased even htly and endured
“I………I’ to……I am from a clan of raccoon warriors……support……I’ll do!”
“Kukuku, you dare defy me?”
Once again, the explosive flaer!
“Yes, Popo You can do it”
“M-Master!”
Ark plunged into the flames
At the same time, he felt a shock as he iree of the impact, as an NPC Popo would truly feel the pain as the flaiven up
He was a little boy who had stomached such pain
If so, it was time to show the will of Ark as a user!
Ark took off his ingAnd he closed the lid with his own body
The mantle which had 50 fire resistance properties, the Veil of FireWhen he switched to a Dark Walker, he gained a 50 resistance to the dark Fortunately fire and darkness, with the two properties the dae of the fire in the darkness fell by 50And 50 of it was all Ark
“Ah, Ark-hyung……!”
Popo flinched and stiffened as he watched Ark
As he looked at Ark, tears flowed down his face
“Popo, do itPlease do! Discard that dragon and throw it back into hell! You can do it! No, it is only possible if it is youRemember e first ner? No, the foreigners aren’t so hot, you’re a few times hotter This situation is too hotdauy that can do anythingAnd……if possible, liveYou’re going to liveBecome the hero that seals that worm in hell and live”
Ark continuously used his nursing skill
He had no choice but to screas
At the ht pour out
The light seemed to dance in the darkness around Popo’s body before descending Popo’s mental poent down to the botto
“Goodbye, Hyung……”
A smile formed around Popo’s mouth
However, in a short htAt the same time, the destruction rate of the seal went down at an incredible rate Until finally!
-The current rate of seal destruction: 0
The seal was fully recovered
Chwarararak, crunch, double bang!
Suddenly huge thick branches stretched outThe branches intertwined together into several layers and formed a ball and chain on the seal
Then the crack disappeared and a
“Kuaaak, this, unbelievable! No……!”
Nídhöggur’s voice faded as he was sealedAnd ……Popo changed into light and scattered

Suddenly a diathered around him
[Yggdrasil’s seedA soul crystal created with the power of YggdrasilThis seed contains the soul of the boy hero who sacrificed hidrasil’s soul and if planted in an appropriate place then roots would take hold and a new Yggdrasil would grow]
-Foreigner………
A ringing sound appeared in Ark’s head
He flinched and looked up as a hologradrasil’s representative It was in the for down to his chest
“You?”
-I aotten as well as PopoForeigner, first I would like to show respect to youI have already seen all your achieveh Popo’s eyesIf it weren’t for you, I would’ve never been able to stop the resurrection of Nídhöggur And Popo would’ve had no choice but to face death in vain
“Death in vain? Then Popo?”
Yggdrasil looked at Ark with gentle eyes and nodded
-Popo’s death was inevitableBut at the last ic occurredIt was the result of your affection towards Popo and his towards youHope is really the mysterious power of life
“Then Popo is still alive?”
-Thanks to the ain froo, and Popo In accordance with Popo, I give that seed to you Please find a new land with hope and plant the seedIt is the seed of a new era and Popo will finally be able to see the orld
Ark looked at the seed with bemused eyes
-Ark-hyung!
He heard Popo’s voice from the seed
And a little ie rose up from the seed
“Po, Popo?”
-Ah, it’s really e
With an embarrassed expression, Popo scratched his head
-Well, it is like you heardNow I can accompany you like this Please look after me in the future as well
“Ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha”
Ark was taken aback and laughed as he sat down against the tree
That’s right He often forgot, but it was a virtual reality game
If you truly want so to happen then it wasn’t impossible
“It has ended”
“Ended? What do you mean?”
“Event quest……it has been cancelled halfway through”
Kim Gwon-tae looked at the monitor with a soulless expression
Just a few o the monitor had a crazy amount of data But now only a few pieces of data came up
It looked like it had been engaged in a long war and was now cleaning up
“I can understand that by looking at the monitor!”
Ha Myung-woo shouted in a raspy voice
“What I want to hear is why? The class B event quest started and now it just suddenly cancelled Even if so is stopped, don’t I still need reports?”
“I’ure it out now”
“hell, that fellow is really tedious”
“I agree We ht be fed up with him but”

He started coo, but it was the first tinored by the computer
The operator doesn’t have to lift a finger to run the game It even rejected the operator’s interferenceIt ram that seemed alive, and that was often a fearful idea
‘Can such a game even exist?’
He had a sudden urge to blow up the
However, New World’s et of a small nationIf New World was blown up, the whole world would shake Because the service had started, he had no choice but to go all the way
“I can guess one thing……”
After a while, Kim Gwon-tae spoke in a cautious voice
“The whole process that started the B class event was so likely to be caused by artificial errors And sorarams that oppose each other coexist in New World”
“But……artificial? Contradiction? What does that mean?”
“The two progra at the sararaered by systerarahts”
At the -woo’s eyes went back to him
His turned head seemed to say that he wanted Kim Gwon-tae to make it simpler
“Either way, one of the But who is the 3rd person? He created a progra’s?”
“It’s like that”
“Ok, let’s put it in order We don’t knoas the one that started the event quest and who stopped it……and we don’t knoould be favourable to Global Exos Right? But looking at the circumstances, their perfor?”
“No, that’s right”

“……And in this case, you got another one”
“So?”
“Don’t forget that intentional or not…No, I think there is a 90 chance it was intentional”

“The anti-prograh it is an aram, like I said earlier there are several layers of codeIt is too blatant that they couldn’t have missed it by mistakeInstead, there was an indirect variable”
“Indirect variable?”
