Episode 93

Product Name: Mechanical Key of Unknown Purpose

“Don’t buy it. Man, it's going to be dangerous. ”

“Did I eat something wrong?”

“It’s getting very dangerous. Increased chance of dying. “Then I won’t be able to buy you a card pack.”

“Then will you sell it to me so I can buy you a pack of cards?”

“Yeah, good. ”

“Buy me two instead.’’

“......You are a legend.”

[You purchased 1 random skill card pack!]

“You said you wanted to buy two?”

“Buy the other one next time I see you.” ”

“......No, put up a death flag here?”

The story of those who committed hostile acts in front of the mechanical girl, commonly known as the store owner, is very famous. So much so that I don't even need to explain it.

Kaang. Kang!

It was a ballet of steel.

Dozens of blades sticking out like hedgehogs from all over the body were dancing and rushing towards the King of Heroes.

no. At some point it wasn't even steel. Even Yooseong's body, which was reborn as an exoskeleton armor through steel resistance, was something that could be split apart like two halves.

‘If you get hit by that blow, regeneration will be impossible.'

It was just a hunch. As soon as I saw the life forged on that blade, I could sense it.

In a sense, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the King of Heroes is the most life-threatening in a player's entire life.

Still, nothing changed.

“Player Kang Yoo-seong, what on earth are you doing...!”

“Oh, that’s right, he’s trolling with the store. “Don’t you even know?”

She endlessly created blades of dark frost, overlaid them with the magic power of the Frost Lord through the protection of the Apostle of Winter (Ex), and parried the attacks of the mechanical girl, who could not be hurt by anything.

In any case, since it is a sword imbued with the magic power of the Frost Lord, it can withstand the damage of a single sword. Then, using the gap, he deflected the blade at an angle and kicked the ground towards the strong men of the deep sea and the apostles of the Mechanism Lord.

Normally, even if you were the highest-ranking player, you would die as soon as you committed a hostile act in front of her.

Even the King of Heroes, who is said to be the pinnacle of players regardless of the depths of the sea or the heavens, felt like he was walking a tightrope on a cliff.

But it was a tightrope walk worth taking.

No one can leave the tower until the hostile actor in front of her dies. If a player kills a player, even the rule that allows the player to be resurrected outside the tower is temporarily invalidated.

In fact, the hundreds and thousands of giant cogwheels that filled the tower of the Clockwork Workshop were at rest.

And in the frozen world, the King of Heroes swung his sword.

Not towards the mechanical girl, but towards the strong men of the deep sea in front of him.

“Huh....”!”

A sword was swung, and one of the players unconsciously tried to return the blow.

“Hostile activity detected. Hostile activity detected.”

“Wait! Just a moment...!”

“Oh my gosh, you got caught in an aggro.”

Sigh!

Before I even had time to look at the hilt of the sword, my body was torn apart as if it were being ground in a blade blender. There was no way

to resurrect, and there was nowhere to run. The only hostile agent, ‘player Kang Yoo-seong', was silenced by the mechanical girl, and no one could do anything. There is no escape from this hell.

But she never remained silent.

She desperately tried to deflect her blade and swung her sword at those who were there.

“It’s just an evil organization cleaning their throats in a row.”

Even to the last one.

If you don't resist, you will be killed by his sword.

If you resist, you will only be killed by the mechanical girl.

As an apostle of the mechanical lord, it was believed that you could use her to escape even if the King of Heroes chases you. But paradoxically, that belief turned that decision into the worst handshake imaginable.

Who would have imagined that, no matter how much extra-standard strength he had, he would still be able to stand in front of that thing

! “Why don’t you understand…!”

That is why M, the head of their organization, desperately raised his voice:

“Look at the tower destroying this world and what we are creating on top of the ruins! How beautifully this world, which had been reduced to ashes in just a few years, is being revived. Look! This destruction is the foundation of creation that is being given to us by the intelligent beings on the throne!” “

Characteristics of a third-rate villain: he talks about the plan up to verse 3 and verse 4 without anyone even asking.”

“Why do you not understand lesser evils? Why do you not understand necessary evils? This world and the wheel of history have been driven only by blood, destruction, and evil!”

“Oh, yes, I guess so.”

“To conduct submarine operations, geologists began surveying the seafloor, uncovering its secrets and advancing earth science! Computers were born to decipher enemy encryption systems, and nuclear weapons soon destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. “It led to an abundance of energy! That was the way we moved the wheel of history, and it will be the same for all future generations!”

“I’m going to swing my sword, so I hope you bark hard.”

“I am just like you! For the peace of the world. For the sake of this world, I am choosing the inevitable evil! Why do you not understand that fact!”

As if begging, the apostle of the Mechanism Lord was making a desperate appeal:

“Imagine the tower destroying this world and what we will build upon its ashes! A destruction unparalleled in any great war. Creation!”

“Oh my gosh. I’m even biting my tongue because I’m afraid someone might be a villain.”

Wow!

The sword was swung, and the head of a black player who was running away without even being able to resist was cut off. An

extremely evil organization was caught in a spider's web. The spider was using his life as collateral to build it. It was Mijoul, and the prey began to be caught and eaten one after another.

Meanwhile, the mechanical girls were endlessly flooding in, and each time, the dark frost blades forged with swordsmanship poured in. The shapeless, intangible swordsmen swung their swords, and each sword was a nine-point sword

. The number of villains was decreasing

one by one, taking advantage of that momentary gap.

“You, me, Cheolsu next door, and Younghee are all talking about necessary evils and lesser evils... Oh, what a surprise. Hey! I just saw the hand gestures of our ancestors. I must have looked at the wrong groove.” As he countered

Kaang

‘s swinging sword with his frost sword, Yoosung continued calmly,

“The world and the wheel of history have no choice but to roll through war and the destruction of evil?”

“It’s as you said!”

“Oh, that’s right.”

There wasn't even a smile.

With those words, Yoosung didn't hesitate any longer.

He remembered the technologies that that man had used to benefit the world under the watchful eye of CIPO, which was calling itself another necessary evil. There was no way Yoosung didn't know. And he, too, considers himself a necessary evil and seeks to benefit this world in his own way.

Everyone considers themselves a necessary evil and turns the wheels of the world through the blood and sacrifice of innocent people.

“Then, where can I go to that great history ?” Would you like to try rolling the wheel?”

Sigh!

One sword was swung. He was an apostle of the Mechanism Lord without even the ability to fight in the first place, and at that point when hesitation disappeared, there was no way to survive. The flesh was torn and blood was splattered. Nevertheless, mercifully

. It wasn't even a blow of instant death.

It was evil itself, wielded with the sole purpose of causing pain.

The blades swung around again. Each time the sword swung, nine blades struck down. Nothing inflicted a fatal wound. I couldn’t do it. As if a child was randomly scribbling blood-colored crayons on a sketchbook, blood was pouring out of his flesh using his flesh as a drawing board.

“Ahh, it hurts, it hurts…!”

M writhed in pain.

“Why are you doing this? Wasn’t this the wheel that turned towards the war of destruction and evil that you are so passionate about?”

“No, no...”

The apostle of the Mechanism Lord struggled desperately in pain, and Yoosung coldly asked,

“Why isn’t it no?”

“What is the meaning of this pain

?”

Yoosung sneered as if it were someone else's business. It was just as he said. Even now, the five blades that he was controlling through the sword technique were already getting closer to the whistle against the mechanical girl's blade. In front of an entity that should never be defeated or destroyed

. I felt that I was getting closer little by little.

“After thinking about it for a while, I think your argument is right. Isn’t it right? I need to get stronger quickly so I can protect world peace more reliably.”

“No, no! Please...!”

M was begging in pain. Before she knew it, her skin was peeling off and blood was flowing out as if she was floating, and she was begging for the mercy of death rather than life. “Creation in the face of destruction that you are crying out for so much will be destroyed with blood.

” Was the wheel of history that was supposed to turn so ephemeral that it could be flipped over like a palm just because the situation changed a little?”

Yoosung asked back calmly.

And that was the end of it.

“Wouldn’t it be better for a wheel that can only be driven through sacrifice, destruction, and blood to be broken?”

In response to Yoosung's question, M desperately nodded in pain. As if begging for death, he threw the faith he had been crying out for into the trash can. That's why

Yoosung sneered coldly.

Tower's destruction war, biological experiment, what? It couldn't be an exception. It's not a necessary evil or anything like an evil that can be turned over like the palm of your hand just because the situation is slightly reversed. It's just

evil.

“Ugh...!”

The apostle of the Mechanism Lord, a frost sword, tore through the chest of M. Immediately after, he turned towards the machine girl who was rushing behind him and forged five more frost swords to deflect her sword dance

. The effect of the five dark frost blades and the poisonous swords embedded in the blades unfolded against the ballet of steel that stood out like thorns all over her body every time she moved. Two people clashing, but one sword clashing

. Dozens of blades were exchanging immeasurable sums.

In the meantime, the King of Heroes steadily tied up the mechanical girl, kicked the ground, and rushed towards the black players. They

could not resist. Among them, there was no hostile action. Because there is no one strong enough to survive in front of that mechanical girl.

“How can these things crowded together like this be strong in the deep sea?”

That's why Yooseong was dumbfounded and answered,

“They're just deep-sea fish friends playing in water that's just right for them. Right, Ttung and Jingjing?”

“Please have mercy...!”

“Please save me! I beg like this! Please forgive me...

“Why me?”

The shooting star's blade struck mercilessly at the villains who were begging in front of him, unable to do either this or that.

Kaang!

M, the head of the secret organization, escaped CIPO's surveillance network, appeared, and his subordinates gathered together. And he announced his candidacy in a flashy manner. They were planning to claim themselves as the world's necessary evil and apostles of destruction. They

should have been.

However, no one could escape this hell and just waited for death one by one. The Joker, whom their leader and apostle of the Mechanism Lord believed in, was the Joker. Card. As the mechanical girl becomes the worst handshake.

“Well, there must be one or two secret organizations in the deep sea.

“Even if you guys seem like a dark shady who will control the world, I’ll be honest with you, I can’t even hand out a business card with your organization.”

Yooseong muttered as if it were someone else's business and swung his sword.

Each time, the villains fell one by one, and soon the tower of the Clockwork Workshop was filled with the villains' blood and corpses.

In it. The mechanical girl was facing the shooting star.

A brief confrontation took place, and at the end of the confrontation, Yoosung opened his mouth. “

Didn’t you promise to

sell me another pack of cards the next time I see you ?”

The mechanical girl remained silent for a moment.

And that was right then.

thud!

The gears of the stopped clockwork world began to mesh together and move. The world of mechanical devices, which had been stationary, began to operate again.

And there, the mechanical girl opened her mouth.

[“This is really interesting. “You are a clown of ignorance.”]

Not a voice, but a message came out.

At the same time, the girl's inorganic expression without even the slightest emotion contained a form of emotion. It was a smile.

A smile that is distorted and twisted with malice and ridicule, as if mocking foolishness.

“...I thought it would be like this.”

That's why Yoosung calmly adjusted the hilt of his sword and answered as if it were someone else's business.

“Nice to meet you, Mechanism Lord.”
