Chapter 258 (1/2)

“Is there anything I don’t know?”

“Bah. You are pretending to be handsome.”

Park Muyeol smiled at me. Then he held the wooden stick in one hand and slowly closed his eyes. A golden aura wove around his body. Park Muyeol started recalling old memories. They weren’t his memories. They were the old myths and legends from Hercules’ memories. The golden aura around his body scattered like smoke and started to take a shape.

‘...What trial will be reproduced?’

I watched the scene and thought of Hercules’ abilities. The first thing that came to mind was the ability of a half-human, half-god. One a day, Hercules rose from the dead and became invincible for 30 seconds. Just like right now. James’ bullet hit Park Muyeol’s head, causing it to tilt.

However, Park Muyeol just looked back at James. James’ mouth dropped open at the sight.

“No, this... is it a bug?”

And this person, Park Muyeol, simply wielded his wooden sword. An intangible energy flew out a rapid pace toward James and exploded. James escaped and approached Damian. “Isn’t this a bug?”

“......”

Damian just watched Park Muyeol without moving. He didn’t know why, but Damian was feeling an unknown sense of crisis. It was due to Damian’s unique stat, ‘Sixth Sense.’ His Sixth Sense was saying that Park Muyeol was more dangerous than Choi Chuntaek.

‘It is a bit dangerous.’

Just then, a cloud of poisonous gas arrived nearby. Now there were 15 minutes remaining. Additionally, it wasn’t just poisonous gas that was approaching.

“Brother, you are alive.”

It was Zhen Sulong and the Chinese team, who seemed familiar with the South Korean team for some reason.

“Grandfather Choi Chuntaek~? You are here. You have cheated me this entire time. Won’t you be cut by my scythe?”

Reina of Russia seemed to have bad feelings for the South Korean team for some reason.

“Wuhahaha! All our guild members are here! It has been a while. Reina! Date me!”

”Shut up, you baldie! You are constantly causing scandals!”

There was Fabian of Italy and Reinhardt of Germany. There was also the Argentinean panther called the Arabs’ rival, Gabriel. They arrived one after another. Damian scanned them and his eyes widened.

“There is no Torres?”

I answered his question from the front, “If you’re talking about that water worm, I knocked him down.”

Damian looked at me with surprise. At the same time, the image of a lion formed behind Park Muyeol. I smiled when I saw it.

‘...It is Nemea’s Lion. it isn’t bad.’

Then a message arrived in front of everyone present.

[The constellation skill ‘Twelve Trials’ will be activated!]

[From now on, the field will reproduce the trial of Nemea’s Lion.’]

I triggered Keen Insight and declared to everyone, “You can’t take us down easily.”

“Crazy guy. Stop talking nonsense. My ears are going to scab over.”

Park Muyeol opened his closed eyes and swung his wooden sword crazily in all directions. A tremendous wave of sword energies swallowed everyone up.

At the same time.

At the top of Union headquarters, Lee Geonmyeong was being treated by his doctor, Kim Sungkook. Lee Geonmyeong didn’t show the slightest movement despite receiving an injection in his forearm. Kim Sungkook saw this and thought that Lee Geonmyeong seemed to no longer have any nostalgia for this world.

“Chairman-nim, it is dangerous to overdo it. It is hard to endure with just painkillers.”

“...Um.”

Lee Geonmyeong felt the throbbing pain from his chest and felt that human life was truly fleeting. Simultaneously, the desire to live from the depths of his heart. He once again thought it would be great if he could turn back time to meet his wife again and apologize for preventing her from dying.

“Doctor Kim, how much longer can I live?”

“......”

“Tell me honestly.”

Kim Sungkook closed his eyes and decided to speak candidly. That way, the old hero in front of him would struggle to live longer. Lee Geonmyeong was a great man who would be recorded in the history books.

“Six months, no, a year. If I do my best, you will be able to hold on for a year.”

Therefore, Kim Sungkook did his best to treat Lee Geonmyeong. This person might be terminally ill, but Kim Sungkook didn’t give up. He was filled with the mission to take responsibility for the world’s greatest man. It was a matter of pride for Kim Sungkook.

“...I see. One year.” Lee Geonmyeong sat on the sofa, leaned back, and closed his eyes. He said quietly, “You can go.”

“...Yes. Chairman-nim, rest well.”
