Chapter 46 Witch Hunt (7)


    The confrontation between good and evil in Arcadia.


    Although it happened inside the game, this incident raised a big rm in the world outside the game. It became a hot topic to the extent that it was constantly mentioned on terrestrial broadcasting and attracted public attention.


    [These two forces, good and evil, are doing great damage to each other as they confront each other. Even though it''s a game, the whole city and vige are turning into ruins on a scale that can be considered a civil war.] [


    That''s right. I''ve heard that there are cases where the castle camp recaptured a city upied by the evil camp and burned the city itself. Why did the gamepany n such an event


    ? I don''t know which crazy nner it was, but I didn''t know it, but I doubted whether there was an impure intention to ruin the game itself.


    [Hmm... I think it''s probably a message that gamepanies are throwing to everyone.]


    [Yes? message? Um.... I''m not sure what kind of message you''re talking about.]


    [This is my personal opinion... but... the game defines both good and evil, rejects each other, and kills each other. there is. Let''s assume. Which force do you think you belong to, good or evil?]


    [Yes? Isn''t that a good thing, of course? Even if he looks like this, he is a very upright man who even won the Model Award when he was young.]


    The host yfully replies. However, he did not have an easy answer to the question that came back.


    [is it so. Then, are the Sung Jin-young really good beings? Can those who brutally kill over 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 people can be defined as being good?] [.....] Reason and morality arepletely paralyzed and buried


    in


    the ideology of good and evil. Tragedy derived from those who havepletely lost their humanity. In Arcadia, at the beginning of the quest, the users of the castle unterally ughtered over 6 million wicked people for no reason, reproducing a huge tragedy that had been used in world history in the past.


    [We have learned lessons from the two great world wars in the past. But looking at what''s happening in the game Arcadia right now, I feel like we''re already forgetting the lessons we''ve learned painfully from the past.] [...I don''t think I''ve ever thought of that.]


    Game


    pany employee If they had heard this, they would have been frothing and running wild, but they were already assuming that the gamepany had made this quest for a noble reason, assigning nonsensical meanings at will.


    [I personally support the evil camp. The appearance of the weak and the minority who ovee the strong oppression and oppression of the castle camp and eventually win.] * *


    *


    War is brutal.


    endless bodies. You don''t know when and where the shells will explode. The urgency that a single mistake could cost you your life in an instant. All of this restrains and restrains individual actions, but the war in Arcadia was a little different.


    “Let’s go!”


    “I’m only a fan of one guy. I remember the one who killed me and I will follow him until he dies.”


    “Kill it! kill it! It''s a waste of mana because I''m low-level anyway!”


    A battlefield without death. In particr, because the death penalty waspletely removed, it was possible to immediately resurrect in the ce, so the users of the evil camp literally went crazy.


    “Ouch! Get out of here! Divine Judgment!”


    Kwaaang.


    A range skill fired by a high priest. The white lightning that fell from the sky swept the users away with a roar. Dozens of users copsed in gray light. However, before they had time to catch their breath, they reappeared as if they had died.


    “Hehehe.... I guess I’ve run out of holy power now?”


    “Didn''t I say I''m only a fan of one guy?”


    “Even if I kill you, it’s no use? die quietly.”


    A group of wicked people slowly closing in on their surroundings. Even if they were high priests with a wide level gap, it was impossible to subdue those who came back to life even after killing hundreds of times.


    [You have defeated the senior priest ‘My Cross is Huge''.]


    [Obtained the item ‘Aelin''s Tears''.]


    “Ohhh! Rare item! A ne too!”


    “Wow... I’m envious.”


    “Heck I ate a magic item!”


    “ah! Why do I only give japtem? This really sucks.”


    In order to ovee the drastic level difference, the evil camp''s performance as a group gathers and clings to each other and eventually seeds in counterattacking. Thanks to that, the castle camp within the Maroon Kingdom began to weaken at a remarkable rate.


    And the ck me Dragon of Darkness, or Lich Argamer, who led all of this, was slowly marching with the resurrected army of death.


    To the royal capital of the Maroon Kingdom, where the 8-year-old Scarecrow King is located.


    “Heh heh! How do you do this!”


    The army of death arrived at a distance close enough to see with both eyes from far away beyond the castle wall. Seeing this, Jerome began to cry with tears on his face with anxiety, but no one could suggest a solution to him.


    “My lord, we must escape from this capital right now. Fleeing to the Saint Empire, securing safety, and then rearranging and recapturing it again...


    ”


    “Your Highness... It is impossible to stop that army of death with our forces right now.”


    Rich argamer. His army of death that engulfed the entire continent in the past. Although not perfect, it was after the Maroon Kingdom had grown too powerful to handle.


    “The opponent is not an ordinary necromancer. Even skeletons are top undead like archer mage warriors, zombie ghoul variants, banshee and durahan death knight. Considering even the high-ranking undead... As for the Royal Guard, it''s probably enough to take a while.”


    “Still, many adventurers are joining forces to protect this royal family! If I''m with them...”


    “Your Majesty, you shouldn''t trust the adventurers too much. Even if they die, they are resurrected ande back again. If you believe in them and keep your position, even if you are defeated and the king is killed, the Maroon Kingdom will walk the path of destruction that day.”


    One-man corps.


    A person who has the level of armed forces capable of fighting a war against the state alone. The power that Rich Argamer showed was beyond imagination. And the number of adventurers approaching him was toorge to be ignored.


    “I can''t believe it... God... why the hell did Maroon Kingdom suffer like this...!”


    King Jerome sighed briefly. However, he had no choice but to stand up as if he could not win at the urging, not the urging, of his servants who were preparing to leave for exile to the Saint Empire with him.


    * * *


    “Hmm... this is going to be a bit tight...”


    The ck me Dragon of Darkness, who traveled around various territories to reinforce the army of death. He was puzzled by the problems that arose while heading to his final destination, the Maroon Royal Family.


    [Victory Conditions]


    Holy faction


    - Judgment of the wicked (48931235/49999900)


    - Punishment of the rich argamer (0/1)


    Obviously, the number stopped at around 6 million just a week ago. However, 50 million, the victory condition for Sung''s camp, was just around the corner.


    “Is it because of those who were socent that they woulde back to life even if they died...”


    The death penalty was removed. To the evil faction, it was like a double-edged sword. Even if you die, you don''t have to wait 24 hours, you can immediately resurrect and y again, so unnecessary deaths urred too often.


    “There was a guy who died and fought over a thousand times to catch a priest, so I said everything.....”


    While he was busy making an undead legion, fighting fierce battles here and there, the evil faction increased the number of victims. users. Thanks to that, theposition of the quest haspletely changed.


    The castle camp first judges 50 million wicked people.


    Or the evil faction takes over the Maroon royal family.


    In any condition, the faction that achieves the objective first wins. Because it was literally a race against time, the ck me Dragon of Darkness had no choice but to be impatient.


    “Death Field.”


    Aww.


    A ck aura spread widely around him. When all thend was dyed ck and filled with the energy of death, ck me Dragon used numerous skills.


    “Feast of the ck Night.”


    “The whispers of the dead.”


    “The Ghost Spirit Code.”


    “The longing of dead souls.”


    “The hatred of life.”


    As high-level buffs that strengthen the undead began to pour in, the Legion of Death radiated even stronger momentum. Looking at them, the ck me Dragon of Darkness shouted at the firmly built castle wall with burning eyes.


    “All troops march!”


    e! Seongjinyoung users! Gather everyone!”


    “One million! If we kill one million more, we win!”


    “Never break through! If we take more time, we will definitely win!”


    Even though the king ran away, the castle camp users and royal guards still kept their positions and strengthened their fighting spirit. However, their fierce battle soon ended in defeat.


    “Is this the throne of the Maroon royal family...”


    The ck me dragon of darkness led the undead army into the royal pce after defeating all the countless defending forces. He murmured as he looked at the luxurious chair that was shining golden but no one kept its seat.


    “joy. I thought the king would run away. If I had known that would happen, I would havepletely surrounded it.”


    The king who had already escaped from the kingdom a long time ago. Knowing that it was toote to pursue him, the Dark me Dragon slowly approached the throne of the Maroon Kingdom.


    [You have sat on the throne of the Maroon Kingdom.]


    [The throne of the Maroon Kingdom recognizes you as the new owner.] [You


    havepletely upied the Maroon Kingdom.]


    [The evil faction has achieved victory conditions in the linked quest ‘Witch Hunt''. .]


    [The evil camp has won.]


    [The death penalty for the evil camp is reactivated. Be careful with your y.]


    [You have acquired the title ‘Owner of the Golden Throne'']


    [You have acquired the right to rule the Maroon Kingdom.]


    Messages pouring in in an instant. Seeing this, the ck me Dragon shouted in his heart.


    ‘Aaaaaa! seded!''


    Powerful power given to his hand by chance. ck me Dragon, who did not miss the opportunity he had gained by making full use of that power, was able to be a king and acquire the authority to rule the Maroon Kingdom.


    ‘Since I became a king, even the money I can extract...''


    Even in an oldputerized RPG game, the additional revenue generated by eating just one castle is so enormous that it easily goes over thousands of dors. It was a difficult feat that could be aplished by thebined efforts of dozens of people, but he single-handedly took control of a country that exists in this virtual reality game. Therefore, it would not be strange to monopolize all the profits.


    I don''t know, but at the moment when he was fully operating his happiness circuit, thinking that he could extract a ridiculouslyrge amount of profit in a billion units, someone suddenly spoke to him from next to him.


    “Is it good to be king?”


    “Who are you!”


    He didn''t even feel the presence, but when he saw a man standing right next to him, the ck me Dragon of Darkness instinctively cast his magic. 5 attack magics activated instantly. However, the opponent did not show any panic at all and said.


    “Adrinen''s Footsteps.”


    However, he lightly evaded the ck me Dragon''s attack. Seeing him holding a sword with a rxed expression, the ck me Dragon could intuit that he had met a formidable enemy.


    “Has it run well so far? To be honest, I should be satisfied if I gained a strong power to the level of bnce copse and took over one country. Did you get the hidden ss? If you try to eat more here, you will explode and die.”


    “What is that...? You bastard! What purpose!”


    A mysterious man who seems to know everything, even the fact that he changed his job to a hidden ss. However, despite the numerous questions from the ck me Dragon, he fixed his sword with a strange smile and said.


    “Now it''s time for Cindere''s magic to be unleashed.”


    Caan.


    [A huge divinity imprisons the yer.]


    [‘End of Eternity'' has designated the yer as a target for judgment.]


    [The status ailment is branded as lethal.]


    [The Lich Argamer''s soul is astonished. I do.]


    “What is this...”


    The moment when ck me Dragon was flustered by the messages that came to mind in an instant, he mumbled. Jaeyoung smiled as he slowly walked towards him holding a sword of brilliant brilliance.


    “What is it? It''s a moneylender who came to collect the money he borrowed again.”
