The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me

Chapter 193



(Short fact: the “Aryans” mentioned in the title is the name given to ancestors of the first Iranian people, well, sort of. If you want to know more info about them, you can google them, and maybe you can leave a comment or two about it.)

– Breaking news! A ‘synchronization’ of an SSS+ rank dungeon located in Iran airspace has been detected!

– Doctor Reiner. Is it true that the dungeon sync was caused by someone intentionally? How is that even possible?

The dungeon synchronization phenomenon which happened in Iran was known and broadcasted all over the world. The synchronization of the dungeon, which was predicted to not happen until several decades later, spurred the media to seek the guidance from numerous specialists and scientists. And those numerous experts with different backgrounds agreed on one opinion.

‘Someone is intentionally breaking the dungeon.’

Every single soul who heard it had the exact same question in their mind as they heard it. Who did it? How? And why?

Doo doo doo!!

-We are reporting live from Tehran, the capital of Iran.

Reporters located inside Iran were also rushing to deliver the news. The dispatched ‘disaster journalist reporters’, who consisted of at least C rank superhumans, went out to film the phenomenon up close.

-Look over there! Iran’s Rahvar showed his face to the world for the first time!

The camera captured Rahvar soaring into the sky on a rock pillar in high-definition. His appearance, which looked like a pretty boy with black straight hair and dark skin, contrasted against the infamy his name carried. If it was not for the fact that he appeared directly in front of everyone, no one would ever believe it.

-He’s fighting against someone. Wha…what the hell is that?

Roaaarrrr-!!

Five giants in the shape of various beasts arose from the earth. They were the product of Rahvar’s other famous ability, a summoned beast which could move on its own without any direction from its summoner. As they were beasts made from all kinds of minerals which could only be found on the ground, their defense was impenetrable. Moreover, as they were directly connected to Rahvar, they were monsters which had an almost infinite regeneration.

The scene captured Rahvar and the five giants glaring at a creature which was nearly three meters tall with a grey skin as smooth as steel, and a majestic pair of grayish-white wings protruding from her back.

The reporters sucked in a deep breath at the sight of the creature which was almost identical to a human.

– A humanoid monster! Currently, Rahvar is fighting against a humanoid monster!

At that moment, the humanoid monster gently waved her hand. With a rumble, the head of one of the giants crashed to the ground, completely detached from its body.

– O…Oh my God!!!

* * *

Rahvar’s expression darkened. He still had enough energy on the tank, so restoring the giant sculpture was a simple thing to do. However, the problem was, compatibility. Earth-type superpowers were indeed a versatile power. It could be used in various fields such as attack, defense, and detection. In addition to that, it could also be used to materialize things, just like how Rahvar created his giant sculpture. However, earth-type superpower had one fatal weakness; it was vulnerable to aerial combat.

Although he had reached SS rank and was able to cope with aerial combat to some extent thanks to ranged attack such as summoning huge thorns and flying rocks, he would eventually still get pushed back by someone who had the same strength as him. Even if the woman-like creature in front of him also couldn’t get away from this place because of the ‘dungeon synchronization’, and was flying at a height where the giants could reach, she was holding an advantage against him.

Rumble~!!

Dozens of sharp, enormous needles rose from the ground and blitzed towards the creature. With a bored look on her face, the creature dodge it effortlessly while cutting the others with her wings.

Rahvar promptly created another barrage of needles and shot it towards her. However, to his chagrin, none of it hits the mark. At that time, a pillar of earth rapidly soared to the sky before parting in two like an opened mouth. The pillar, which now looks like a snake, slithered towards the creature as if trying to swallow her. But, just like before, the creature waved her hand gently. And moments later, the snake-like pillar crumbled and returned to where it belonged, to the earth below.

Just then, the creature frowned before snapping her head to look behind.

In the direction her head was turned towards, a few milliseconds ago, an extremely sharp black needle passed through. It was not like the other needles which were being shot from the ground, rather it had come from above her.

‘Can he control it even though it was in the air?’

Hints of curiosity could be seen in her eyes. She looked closely at the black needle which rushed towards her. It was moving freely through her air as if it had wings. According to her knowledge, the dark black substance was created from carbon components. In other words, those black needles were created by condensing various rare minerals which could be found on Earth. On top of it, she could also feel ether seeping out from it.

The seven huge black needles moved freely like the man’s own limbs. No, maybe even more detailed than that. However, even after that, it couldn’t hit her. This was while she was battling against the giant beast the man had summoned as well as numerous pillars of earth which were trying to swallow her.

She had to admit that it was quite an enjoyable fight as she felt like she was dealing with an army instead of just one person.

-That’s amazing! Rahvar is demonstrating the most powerful abilities among all SS ranked superpowers!

The 38 SS rank superhumans on Earth had much stronger output than their Murim counterpart. Of course, if they simply fought one-on-one, the Murim Experts would have a landslide victory. But in terms of simply ‘output’, neither magic nor martial arts could rival superpowers. Afterall, superpowers were concentrated ether which was created solely for maximum destruction.

However, among those SS rank superhumans, there was no one who could show the same ability as Rahvar till this day. Of course, it was not a power with no string attached to it as it took away his freedom in exchange, rooting him in one place. But the power which Rahvar showed was enough to leave the world slack-jawed. It was as if a natural disaster was standing there alone.

However… unbeknownst to those awed people, the real battle had yet to start. The creature slowly opened her eyes. Out of nowhere, a beam of light suddenly blitzed towards Rahvar. Caught off guard, he hastily moved one of his sculptures in front of him to block it, but it was to no avail. He could feel his sculpture melt away. In the end, Rahvar was forced to invest a portion of his own life force to harden his sculpture and was able to block it, albeit barely. Moreover, it also consumed the portion of earth where he was rooted to.

‘What is this…!’

It wasn’t surprising that Rahvar was taken aback. After all, concentration of pure energy was just that powerful. Every time she waved her hand gently, a sharp wind blew and ripped apart the flying rock or shot a beam of energy and completely disrupted anything Rahvar controlled and sent it crashing to the ground.

When she sent an attack his way, Rahvar had no choice but to defend against all the attacks because evasion was fundamentally impossible. And due to that, his energy reserve was depleting at an alarming rate. However, he couldn’t simply move from his position. The power he had to freely handle the sculptures’ absolute defense and the seven black needles boasting absolute attack power were due to him taking ‘roots’ on this land for decades. The moment he moved even one step outside this land, everything he built up would be destroyed, which meant he would be defeated.

‘A little more, just a little more…’

Rahvar clenched his teeth, drawing all the energy he had accumulated so far, including his stamina. It was originally an energy he preserved to solve the dungeon which would overflow decades later. Never in his wildest imagination would he have thought he would use it against an intruder. However, he couldn’t help but use it now since it was a do or die moment for the entire land.

“Ugh!” Rahvar raised his arms high in the sky with all his might. Enormous amounts of muscles in his arms wiggled and twitched as if they were alive. As Rahvar’s body is quite thin, it was strange to see muscle bulging from his body. The source of those muscles was not a naturally created muscle which was formed due to exercise but muscles which naturally accumulated in a superhuman’s body due to the ether.

Rumble~!! Rumble~!!

The female creature noticed belatedly that something was happening and hurriedly raised her head.

“…?”

Above her, covering the moon like dark clouds, a huge island was floating in the sky. She couldn’t pinpoint just when the man had created something that big. Perhaps, during the entire battle, the dirt had slowly gathered from every place and formed that island just now.

“This is a bit surprising…”

Everyone who witnessed the scene was baffled. The female creature was no different. It was just impossible to believe that the humongous island floating above their head was something created by a human being.

‘For the sake of this land, I will do everything I can.’

Rahvar had dedicated his entire life to this land. In order to protect the land under him, he had traded his freedom for power. It was a life where he couldn’t even take a single step with his own feet.

But for Iran.

For the land of the Aryans.

He was ready to sacrifice everything he had.

Whether it was his life, his lifespan, his emotions, relationships, power, strength, or rights.

He would gladly give it up. He was ready to even sacrifice his soul.

“Go!!!”

Rahvar released the power he held in his arm, and the island above began to fall towards the creature.

“I’m sorry, but the time is running out, so, let’s stop playing around, okay?”

When her lips parted, a friendly voice flowed out. It was a tone similar when humans talk to their pets. Then, at the same time, she raised her hand.

Swooosh~!!

The humongous island, which covered the moonlight and plunged the land beneath it in a vast shadow, suddenly parted into two pieces with no sounds or whatever.

“Ughhhhh…!” Rahvar, who suffered severe internal injuries from the recoil, staggered as blood leaked from his mouth.

‘How…”

The island was made of earth’s power which contained his vitality. So, it was unimaginably hard and could not be compared to any other material which existed on the planet. And yet, it was cut into half so easily… Rahvar couldn’t believe it.

However, there was a fact that Rahvar wasn’t aware of. In fact, the creature also did not possess the power to cut the island into two. She was only able to do it because she ‘accidentally’ discovered a small crack—which was there because Rahvar constructed the island in too much hurry—and attacked it. That small mistake made a huge impact. Because of it, Rahvar was defeated.

Then, when the monster swung her arm, Rahvar started to fall into the ground. He only realized moments later that his body was cut apart from his ankle. The five giant sculptures and the seven black needles which lost their power source crumbled to dust. The overwhelming weapons of the SS rank superhuman who boasted the strongest defense and the strongest attack power of all time were all destroyed.

Free falling, Rahvar tightly closed his eyes—surrendering himself to his fate. In the end, this point was the furthest he could go. From the beginning, that creature was an adversary he had no odds of winning.

Just where did such a creature come from?

However, more than resentment and those questions, Rahvar was more worried about the people who would lose their lives due to dungeon synchronization.

Thud-!!

Rahvar could feel the impact that shook his body. It seems like he had finally returned to the ground. An SS rank superhuman wouldn’t just die because of falling, but the pain was intense. It was unbearable. When he opened his eyes, a gigantic gate began to materialize itself. The ‘dungeon synchronization’ had finally begun. It was a phenomenon which happened only several times in the long history of Earth.

The woman clenched her fists with all her might. And moments later, the gate exploded open. From inside, ‘humanoid’ monsters marched out in order.

‘Huh?’

Did such a monster exist in the dungeon?

No, in the first place… were there that many monsters in human form?

Some looked so similar to humans but with long and pointed ears. Some of them had brown skin and very short stature, some were green skinned and gigantic while some were human-like, but with four arms, and so on.

They had human-like forms, but were not human.

And, leading them at the very front…

Was Yoo Seodam.

-…From the dungeon, Hunter Yoo Seodam appeared with a mysterious army behind him! How did this happen…!

-He must have appeared in Iran to help Rahvar!

The image of Yoo Seodam quickly broadcasted worldwide. Rahvar also closed his eyes with a relieved expression as soon as he saw him.

‘It’s safe, I can sleep for a while…’

Meanwhile, the man in question, the centre of world attention, Yoo Seodam was just looking at the chaos in front of him with a pale face.

“Just what the fuck is happening right now?”
