Sword Pilgrim

Chapter 259

Episode 259

“Wow… Really, this. Shouldn’t I be contacting the police somewhere? Does this really make sense in the 21st century?”

“If that was the case, it would have been sooner.”

Coca reads the documents brought by her cousin in her own room.

No, Sung-Woon couldn’t easily get out of the shock.

[Sudden serial suicide scandal]

-Mr. xx was found dead in Il-dong, Seocho-gu, Gangnam. sentenced to suicide without cause.

Suicide cases similar to this are pouring unprecedentedly.

[Suicide is a trend these days…?]

-3 Men in their 40s are committing suicide one after another. What is the reason?

“It is said that he seemed to have no will to live and showed a lethargic appearance not too long ago.”

Like someone who has lost their passion.

It is said that his eyes were cloudy as if a screw had come loose.

“Mr. xx, a father with three children, jumped from the roof of an apartment building without opening a store that had never been closed for 20 years. He was a user who had played the virtual reality game ‘Pilgrim’s Road’ until recently…”

It was true.

There is only one thing they have in common with the increasing trend of suicide these days.

“The Pilgrim’s Way.”

All of them were users who had played the game.

“From what I know, my prediction is correct. They are all people who have died or become corpses once and have created accounts two or three times. Read this too.”

“This?”

“This is a compilation of the blog posts he left before he committed suicide, a famous person in the game world.”

The first part is praise and criticism. However, the more I play the game, the more I feel the question.

And the sense of loss that leads to death was expressed as something indescribable in words.

And he was killed and committed suicide while advancing through the third account.

“Honestly, I couldn’t help but see it as a coincidence. As usual, there has never been a game that hit the jackpot with an unusual issue like Pilgrim’s Road. I thought there would be a lot of things that would be torn apart for different reasons.”

However, there was no choice but to come up one by one.

I was proud of it, but it was because there were not only one or two strange things.

Even if you understand the artificial intelligence of named NPCs, even ordinary citizens have artificial intelligence that is no different from that of ordinary people.

It’s safe to say that real people are playing.

Each scenario and episode.

And the causal relationship of the world changes every moment, colliding and interlocking in a chain.

In the meantime, all the staff was doing was just getting into the game and spreading rumors a little bit.

Isn’t it strange?

Even if the motto is not to get involved in the game world.

“You don’t even know the CEO of that company?”

“I don’t know. It has never appeared in the media. No one knows what this person is doing or what a great capitalist he is.”

“No, but how…”

“There are only agents, and even the person registered as a representative is 100% sure that we are the president of the pants.”

The basis is clear.

“The reason is? You can really be representative.”

“Have you ever thought about it strangely? No matter how virtual reality is, there are so many technical parts of the pilgrim’s path that cannot be expressed even with today’s technology.”

Sunggyu is right.

No matter how many virtual reality games come out, the reason why they are popular all over the world is because the world is so realistic.

“That’s why the whole world is highly praised and surprised, but that’s not something that can come out of the current technical team.”

“then?”

“We are just people making adjustments. When it comes to cars, it’s just a matter of adding oil. There is someone else who really made the car.”

“Can you? Who is that?”

Sunggyu shrugged.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?”

“I don’t know. We just take some authority and adjust the part that was created in the first place. To be honest, I don’t even know how it works or how it works.”

What kind of games are there in the world?

“Besides, the server is equipped with artificial intelligence, so it takes care of most of it. We do very little. It’s just things like spreading rumors in the game or retrieving things so that they don’t affect it.”

Even from the officials, there are not one or two suspicious parts.

“Then you should inform the police!”

“It’s no use. It’s a global issue and money is being rushed to NS, but do you think it’s an issue that the police can come forward with? A worldwide game came out of Korea. Even if there really is a problem, it should be something that should be protected nationally, not something that should be antagonized.”

A Korean company was unusually doing foreign currency earning.

Even if there is something suspicious, would anyone want to cut the belly of the goose that lays the golden eggs when they pay taxes like that?

Even if there are people who want to steal it.

“Then what? Most people would commit suicide while playing the game!?”

“That’s why I just tell my brother everything.”

Sunggyu stood up and said.

“Hands off. stop playing games If you try to dig up without being shy… hyung, it might be really big trouble. And to be honest, I don’t even know if he’s really committing suicide because of the game. Nothing is certain.”

“…”

Sungwoon bit his lip.

If I didn’t know, I would have just enjoyed the game.

I found out the truth halfway through, so I couldn’t even enjoy the game because of anxiety.

“If you still feel uncomfortable, talk to that person properly. Wouldn’t that person wear a gun? He said he made it to his brother.”

That person, Sungwoon, let out a laugh.

“Actually, he’s… Callius.”

“…what bullshit?”

Seong-gyu had no choice but to distort his face at his cousin’s bullshit.

* * *

Jerk. that buck

Seeing his own avatar crumbling to ashes, Callius reached out and touched her ashes.

“I am too late.”

I just wanted to see the situation.

I never dreamed that I would dedicate my body to solve it myself.

I didn’t send you to do that.

Is it because you resemble yourself or because you don’t resemble yourself?

Colliers thought about it, but quickly brushed it off.

Turning around, there was a tangled giant brother. One was turned into a charred lump, and the person who was held in it was still burning and dying.

God’s fire was the kind of fire that didn’t go out even in death.

“It rides slowly.”

It becomes red ash and scatters.

Callius raised his hand as he looked at the burning giant and the charred incarnation.

Following his hand gesture, the incarnation’s ashes moved and swung around.

At his beckoning, the ashes flowed on the wind and plunged into the giant’s fire. The fire sent by God that even burns ashes is truly powerful.

However, she is an incarnation of Colius.

Earth is the ashes of Colius.

“It’s not a home if you can’t embrace it.”

The ash instantly seeped into the giant’s body, turning him gray.

Soon, the giant’s body turned into ashes, and it flew into the sky as burning ashes.

The ashes embroidered in the air were beautiful and splendid, like flowers blooming on a burning tree.

“Come.”

The ashes of the brilliant flame that bloomed in the air poured down on Colius.

All the various emotions were melted in the fire that had been burning for thousands of years.

Fear of death, belief in peers. and despair. guilt resentment. regret.

salvation in the end.

It wasn’t one person’s.

Everything that the various people who were swallowed up in fire had was contained in one fire.

At the end, even that of the God who sent down the fire.

Kwaaaang-!!

The flames spread like ripples around Colius.

was shaking

He made up his will as if he were alive and tried to swallow even Colius.

The huge fire covered even the ashes.

“It is a fire that can surely kill even a god. It is the fire of death.”

But even the bright flames were covered with gray. However, the fire of the giant, which could not be contained, fluctuates once again.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

cover the area

The furnace made of the giant’s ashes was torn down and the whole village burned down.

The giants were startled and came out of the house and fell face down.

It was because the flames, like the wrath of God, were reaching in all directions.

Adults hugged their children and children hugged their parents and burst into tears.

but.

“Oh, it’s not hot. it’s warm.”

Laura said.

The flames that seemed to eat them were not hot for some reason.

The fire that killed and ate several of the giants’ warriors was mild for some reason.

No, it was dangerous, but not fatal. No one burned the bodies of the swarming giants.

The giants knew that the reason was because of the man at the center of the collapsed furnace, even without anyone telling them.

Gray hair, gray eyes.

A man wrapped in ashes containing fire.

Colliers.

The giants recognized that he was the god of the scabbard containing fire.

The flames raging again seeped into Colius’ body, and hot ash gathered from his touch.

Then the cold came in an instant.

The cursed cold from the Winter Witch of Ladia began to attack the giants.

In an instant, frost formed and it began to freeze. But even so, the giants looked at God unperturbed.

The god who quenched the flames held the ashes in his hand.

Ashes gathered.

It soon formed a single sword.

It had one handle but two blades.

thud.

Let’s put a double-edged sword in the center of the giants.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The warm heat melted the frozen Radia again.

He said looking at the giants.

“I will punish you. them this time.”

When he said this, the giants fell down and called out to God. The emotions of the giants, who had been afraid of the fear of death and the wrath of the gods for a long time, wet the earth with tears.

[Dear God.]

The name of the god who gave me warmth was Colius.

He was said to be the god of swords.

* * *

Same time.

Surrounded by men armed with swords and shields, Kali chewed her teeth.

[Let go! Let go of this!]

The connected corruption was slashed by the sword and torn apart by the shield.

Surrounded by swords and shields, Kali only glared at the woman in the center.

“What is this again? You made something weird again. What are you, do you have the same face as that bastard?”

“Saint of the Shield, Junice.”

“You seem to know me.”

and.

“Saint of Swords, Esther.”

The Saint of Sword and Shield.

Junice and Esther.

Faced with the army they were leading, Kali drew her sword.

“Please let Sophie go.”

“Sophie? Are you talking about that fall?”

“Are you advocating corruption now? crazy that I tried to look like Colliers, but I went crazy.”

The sword saintess stopped Junice from running away convulsively, looking at him and asking.

“Spliced Corruption is notorious. The number of people he killed is too many to measure accurately.”

“He is a vicious guy who not only connects corpses, but also connects people’s hearts. Are you still supporting it?”

Carly answered the saintess’ question.

“From my point of view, there is no big difference between humans and depravity.”

“Why?”

“It is because when you see the fall, you have to kill it, and when you see the fall, you only think of it as something to be killed. So I will help those who are closer to me.”

“If you won’t accept it.”

Kali’s sword was pointed at Esther.

“I have no choice but to cut.”
