Chapter 44: It’s a Natural Action

As soon as the game started, people flocked in as if summoned.

[Seyul, hi!]

[It’s been a while!]

[Waited so long I almost turned into a stone statue]

[ㅠㅠ]

[I missed you!!!]

<Hooheung donated 400,000 won>

[A token of my welcome]

<Kingdom of Animals donated 500,000 won>

[Your face haunted my dreams]

The chat window was filled with questions about what he’d been up to.

And how much they missed him.

But no one was angry that he’d taken a break.

Semi, who had become his manager, had announced that he was taking a short break due to some personal matters.

[With what happened, he deserved the rest]

[The Hunter Branch was completely wrecked]

And everyone thought of Seyul as a Hunter, so they guessed the reason in their own way.

[Still vivid in my mind]

[Me too]

[Of course]

[It was a complete mess]

[Heard they almost declared martial law?]

The attack on the Korean Hunter Branch had caused chaos throughout Korea.

A place the government couldn’t easily touch had been brazenly attacked in broad daylight.

Schools and workplaces were temporarily closed, of course.

And the military patrolled Seoul, the capital and site of the incident, for a while.

The common perception was that it was understandable for Seyul, a Hunter, to take a break after such a mess.

[I was worried about you]

[Wondered if something had happened]

[The announcement said he was okay, but the other Hunters were half-dead]

[Heard the Hunters who were there at the time almost died]

[Saw an interview, they said it felt like they died and were resurrected]

[Still, it’s a relief they survived]

[Didn’t A-rank Hunter Han Semi come and solve it?]

[As expected of an A-rank!]

[She solved it with Haeri, not alone]

[But the villain was erased without a trace, so they couldn’t find the mastermind, which is a shame]

The viewers were discussing the situation at the time.

They didn’t know it, but it was all a lie.

A lie concocted by Semi and Haeri, who had been threatened to hide her brother.

The other Hunters had actually died and been resurrected by Seyul’s resurrection magic.

[Looking at the list of victims, it’s a relief you weren’t on it]

[No, if he was, he would have taken care of it instead of Semi]

[Such a waste. He could have been a worldwide star]

[Let’s stop talking about this]

[It’s starting. If you’re here to watch the stream, shut up and watch]

Some viewers stopped the conversation as other topics besides the broadcast were constantly being mentioned.

Then the chat subsided, and everyone watched Seyul’s actions.

The God of Light, who had promised to explain why he had followed Seyul last time.

As soon as the game continued, he spoke as promised.

“Sorry, but could you summarize it?”

Seyul made an unreasonable request to the God of Light.

“If possible, I’d like you to summarize it in a few lines.”

<What? You want me to summarize this grand story related to the very foundation of this world in just a few lines?!>

“I’m kind of in a hurry.”

The God of Light was shocked by his blunt request to shorten it, and the chat window became noisy.

[He’s being a jerk again as soon as he’s back lol]

[A story from a god would be almost mythical]

[Asking him to summarize it in a few lines is too much, isn’t it?]

[Let us know the lore!]

[But I’d be grateful if he shortened it]

Everyone said something, but Seyul had his reasons.

‘I want to skip this kind of background setting and do something quickly.’

Seyul was also getting restless because he had been resting for a long time to protect his sister.

He wanted to quickly end the boring story and start taking action.

<Hmm, I understand>

The God of Light was full of complaints, but he sensed Seyul’s feelings and reluctantly complied with the request.

Thus, the story summarized by the God of Light was as follows.

From the beginning, there were humans, monsters, and their own god race.

The god race existed to protect humans, so they favored humans.

And they didn’t really like monsters.

Therefore, the god race sided with humans and ostracized monsters.

The God of Light also agreed with this, but he always felt uncomfortable in one corner of his heart.

Then Seyul appeared.

The God of Light was impressed by his actions of saving monsters without the help of the gods.

So, he transformed into Luminus and tried to follow him to see what kind of human Seyul was.

<…That’s the situation>

“Even if you shortened it to that extent, it would have dragged on if I had listened to it as it was.”

<Is that all you have to say?>

The God of Light said sullenly.

<Originally, I was going to follow you and see what kind of human you are. I was thinking of creating harmony between humans and monsters through you. But that’s impossible in this situation, right?>

“Why? I’m willing to help if it’s something like that.”

<I appreciate the thought, but with those two around, it’s impossible for you to do that even if you want to>

The God of Water and the God of Wind.

The God of Light judged these two to be the greatest threat to Seyul and the monsters.

<Those things have already crossed the line. They tried to kill you, breaking the rules and everything, and failed. What do you think they’ll do now?>

“They’ll try to kill me using every means at their disposal. And if I die, they’ll try to exterminate the monsters right away.”

<That’s right. You understand this kind of thing quickly>

With two gods determined to kill Seyul, it was impossible to do anything through him.

The God of Light made that judgment and made a suggestion.

<You, let’s go to the world of humans together>

“Why go there?”

If a god appeared before their eyes and told them to kill someone, it wouldn’t be strange for the whole country to move.

The God of Light argued that they should make the first move before those guys started scheming.

<Let’s go together and explain the situation before they start their tricks. Don’t worry about whether it will work or not. I’m a god too. If we do it right, we might even be able to turn them into our allies>

“….”

Seyul listened to the God of Light’s words without saying anything.

He made a blank expression and then.

“Where is the capital of the monsters?”

He asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic.

<Why do you ask?>

“I’m going to go, but I’m not going alone, I’m going to take the monsters with me.”

<…What?>

The God of Light opened his mouth in disbelief.

“I was originally going to solve it alone, but after hearing the story, it seems like it’s no longer just my problem.”

The ultimate goal of the two gods was the extinction of all monsters.

It didn’t seem right to exclude those who might be exterminated from this matter.

So, Seyul made the rare decision to borrow someone else’s strength in a fight.

“I don’t want to either, but if I try to solve it alone and I die, those friends will be wiped out as they are. Without even knowing how things are going, meaninglessly. If I explain the situation and fight together, even if we’re not strong enough and we all die, at least we won’t regret dying without being able to do anything.”

<That, that’s true?>

Borrowing the help of monsters to fight together.

There is a moral justification, and the power of the monsters is borrowed, so the strength is increased.

There’s no reason to refuse.

<Are you really okay with that?>

“With what?”

<What do you mean, what? You…>

The God of Light couldn’t find the words to say, he was so dumbfounded.

The viewers took over the words he couldn’t finish.

[Do you really not know?]

[You’re saying you’re going to take an army of monsters to where humans live!]

[Have you forgotten that this game is about protecting humans from monsters?]

[But you’re going to attack humans with monsters?]

[What are you, a demon king?]

[It’s a bit of a belated question, but how did this happen?]

Everyone was dumbfounded, but Seyul’s will was firm.

“And honestly, there’s no guarantee that your suggestion will work. You’re a god, but there are two gods there. Besides, the justification is that it’s hard for humans to accept that they’re protecting monsters. It’s uncertain whether we can persuade the humans, so it’s better to make the monsters our allies.”

Seyul persuaded them with various reasons.

All of them were valid reasons, so it was difficult for the God of Light to refuse.

<You’re right>

The God of Light eventually gave in.

<As you said, let’s go to the monsters, explain the situation, and bring them in. I’ll guide you to the capital>

The God of Light readily guided Seyul.

The two walked towards the road to the capital.

<I’ll warn you before we arrive>

The God of Light said seriously while walking along the road.

<When you go to the capital, you may meet the Five Great Lords and the Demon King. For now, you must avoid them except for Anella>

The Five Great Lords and the Demon King.

They are the leaders of the monsters.

It is unknown how they will react if they meet Seyul.

So, he warned him.

“Thanks for the advice, but I think it’s already too late?”

Seyul replied negatively.

Looking up at the sky.

Something huge was flying from the distant sky.

A body that would be 50 meters.

A body with horns, wings, and a tail.

And tremendous magic power all over his body.

Black Dragon

A member of the strongest race was flying in from the sky.

The God of Light, as well as the chat window, stopped for a moment at the sudden appearance of the dragon.

It wasn’t because they didn’t know about the dragon that appeared. Rather, it was a problem because they knew it too well.

<Demon King?>

[Why are you here already?]

Demon King Rimburn

A member of the strongest race, the Dragon, who stood at the pinnacle of all monsters with his powerful racial abilities.

At the same time, he is also the final boss of this game.

Why is the final boss appearing now?

While everyone was stunned, Rimburn shook his huge body and landed.

<Why are you here?>

The God of Light asked in a trembling voice, as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Are you asking because you don’t know? God of Light?”

Then Rimburn responded as if he shouldn’t ask the obvious.

Then, pointing at Seyul with his big hand.

“What king would stand still when such a terrible monster is approaching his territory?”

He said.

With a voice that couldn’t hide his tension.
