The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 13
Episode 13. Another whale in the whale fight (1)
The degree of collapse of the rift has risen sharply.
-[Outskirts of the Territory] While the achievement rate of rifts reached 95%. Breaking news is coming in that the collapse rate of the rift in [The Count’s Manor] has exceeded 60%.
It was only one day.
The degree of collapse of the rift exceeded 60%.
After Cataclysm.
In the meantime, numerous cracks have been created and disappeared.
-That’s… I’ve never seen a case like this before.
It is unusual for the degree of collapse to rise so rapidly.
Some cast members speculated on the reason.
-The rate of collapse is different for each crack, right? Generally, the stronger the monster in the rift, the shorter the time the rift can withstand.
-That means the monster in the rift will be stronger than you think?
-Yes. The problem is that the rate of decay has increased. So, to be precise… ‘the monster in the rift is stronger than before’ would be correct. than a day ago
At that, the cast members were at a loss for words.
The high difficulty level of this rift, which I have heard so much.
But even with that, the monsters got stronger.
-…Isn’t there a reason for that? Wouldn’t a normal monster suddenly become stronger?
Yes, there must be a reason.
If only I could find the reason.
The fact that monsters become stronger than that.
For that reason, the crack collapse degree also increases rapidly.
could i stop it?
However, no matter how much opinions were gathered, no answer came.
In the end, the anchor had no choice but to deliver this final greeting.
-I hope the players will give us good news.
.

I took my eyes off the screen.
I don’t know how the other players feel…
‘…how do I think I know?’
The reason why the monsters in the rift got stronger and
the reason why the rift collapse rate soared.
To the subject who returned to Arcana after 10 years.
If you ask me what do you pretend to know?
I could confidently ask.
But I guess I know more about demons than you do?
The never-ending training in Akkshan!
The devil’s information that I heard enough to put a scab on my ears.
It was only natural that there were vampires among them.
– Vampires can share their powers through blood. Of course, it is possible to take back the ability that was shared. So don’t be vigilant until the end.
The vampire, Count Ascura, bestowed his powers on the [Blood-Stained Beast] and [Blood-Stained Bandit].
As the monsters fell to the player, the powers that had been divided between them naturally returned to Count Ascura…
‘So the rift collapse rate rose sharply.’
I really thought so, so the story fit.
The next development could also be predicted.
‘Wait, then if you attack the territory, the collapse of the fort will rise rapidly.’
Considering that the current degree of collapse is over 60%
…
Maybe the citadel crack collapsed.
It may not appear in reality.
It was a worst-case scenario, but the odds were pretty high.
And Count Asura, who is level 430 even if his level alone is counted. It was also true that
thinking that the monster was getting stronger
made me feel helpless.
However, my actions did not change.
Open the closet in the same position as usual.
Choose doubles according to formality.
Of course, the suit is slightly different from yesterday.
Still, shivering in the cold, I realized something.
I put on a long black coat over my suit.
…Yes, long coats.
Working in the rift seems to drag on.
Better than freezing. what.
Think positively.
But apart from that, I wasn’t feeling very well.
I muttered softly.
“The nobility gives and does not take away. Count Ascura.”
It is the head of the Cloudy family.
Pride as an aristocrat that Grandfel thinks.
That pride was hating the actions of Count Askura.
Again—
I added while putting on my shoes.
“No, even the title of count is a waste. Ascura.”
if anyone saw
It could have looked pretty good.
Heck—
…holding it in his hand.
Unless it’s this green tea bag.
Let’s be thankful that there are no eyes watching.
I headed to the Wizard’s Tower.
*
A full-scale attack begins.
[The Count’s Territory]
[Recommended level: Lv.350-400]
[Collapse progress: 66.1%]
Check the crack information again.
Different reactions erupted from all over the place.
“The appropriate level is 350 to 400?! You’re crazy, really.”
“In less than an hour, the decay rate has gone up by 6 percent.”
“No, if the territory is like this, what the hell is the fortress like?”
All of the hundreds of [Outside of the Territory] cracks have been cleared.
Now, if you clear the 30 or so [Count’s estate] rifts, you can enter the [Count’s Fortress] rift where Count Ascura is located.
As much as the number of cracks was significantly reduced.
The fight between the players also became fierce.
It was natural.
The appropriate level is 350 to 400 levels.
As it is a high-level rift, the experience and loot must be at a level that can never be ignored.
Competition was essential as the number of cracks was scarce.
So, it’s just an eye-opening fight to find a competitor that’s at least as good as it gets.
Gaon’s guild master.
At least Nam Tae-min was in good shape.
“Because it doesn’t overlap with Shining.”
Except for The Shining, anyone can try it.
Nam Tae-min had confidence.
Although the first clear was taken away by an ambush called Berserker, it was really close to Shining.
Nam Cheol-min had the same idea.
Nam Cheol-min tapped the tablet PC.
“The Shining side must be in an uptick. It won’t do any good for those guys to choose the same rift as us. Is it going to be more like trying to perish together?”
So let’s do this crack.
Gaon quickly preoccupied the base camp.
However, an uninvited guest who had been forgotten for a while came.
Nam Tae-min’s eyebrows twitched.
“…Ha, look at these bastards?”
Inazuma, 4th in the guild rankings.
As the name suggests, it was a Japanese guild.
They say that the Wizard’s Tower has risen.
It is never possible to take root in Korea.
It’s because of being stubborn.
Inazuma, who had arrived in Russia after a full day’s flight, appeared in the rift.
Inazuma’s guild master.
Hisagi Kazuma looked at Nam Tae-min.
Nam Tae-min also did not avert his eyes.
Not a word came or went.
Each of them knew what it meant.
Taemin Nam said.
“That bastard wants to try it. What do you think bro?”
Nam Chul-min tapped the tablet and shrugged.
“I settled down first, so avoiding it wouldn’t look like a spirit, would it?”
Korea and Japan.
Gaon and Inazuma chose the same rift.
The rumor spread quickly.
Shooting teams from each country buzzed.
“Gaon and Inazuma stick together?! Is it unconditionally special?”
But there was so much special feeling here.
New news constantly pouring in.
Among them, there was a composition that attracted as much attention as the confrontation between Gaon and Inazuma.
“Second Sun and Bohemian. Aren’t there two competitors stuck together?”
“This is how Berserker became more troublesome after first clearing.”
“There is no morality. those. Why are they saying that they are the European Union and fighting each other more?”
But the most interesting of them all.
1st and 2nd in the guild rankings.
The Shining and the unification of the world were facing each other.
American Shining.
unification of China.
It was a competition worthy of the world’s attention.
Because the order of the world might be shaken depending on the result.
“Did they decide to just sprinkle red pepper powder on the unification of the world?”
“Isn’t this something we want to ruin together?”
“If we stick together, there will be nothing left.”
Two guilds, of course.
It was a business that left nothing for everyone.
It was like having to share the experience and loot of a new rift with the strongest competitor.
But we won’t back down from each other.
So, it was an interesting sight for those who watched.
“Now then, let’s take a vote here!”
It was the NetTuber players who were just as excited as the reporters.
Only players can enter the rift.
Just yesterday, they had a lot of fun by relaying the situation inside the rift.
So nettubers had no choice but to notice.
“Please post a chat! We will actively reflect the message of support!”
Which rift should be chosen to attract the most viewers?
A fight between the repeated notice of notice.
The only thing that could be free from that notice fight was…
only one person.
.
.
.
The current temperature is minus 5 degrees.
Is it really true?
Falling more than 5 degrees in one day.
It’s a shame because he’s wearing a coat.
Otherwise, it would have frozen to death before entering the rift.
Morakmorak—
I melted my hand in the warmth of the teacup.
Indeed, it was worth paying a little more attention to during 『Search』 and 『Interference』.
I just made the shape of the teacup a little more complicated.
Even in the freezing cold wind, the teacup did not cool down easily.
‘I’m just getting used to it.’
Not [Skill], but 『Magic』.
In spite of Grandpel’s talent for quickly mastering such magic.
I emptied my glass and let go of the handle.
Took—
the teacup deformed again in midair.
The moment it fell, it returned to its stone form.
‘Returning to the original state also reduces the effort of searching and interfering.’
This was also a way to use it after getting used to magic.
I was seriously thinking.
‘…Of course, the question is whether I can use this in real combat.’
That’s something you’ll have to figure out by bumping into your body.
Of course, this crack is not to be taken lightly.
‘Earl Asscura’s Servant’: Lv.390
‘Earl Asscura’s Knight’: Lv.350
‘Earl Asscura’s Soldier’: Lv.300
Isn’t it a level that can’t be taken lightly in the first place?
Even if you skip the soldiers and knights like that…
There was a difference of more than 300 levels from the henchmen.
But since when have I been arguing with such things?
Again—
not once or twice, but now I gave up and accepted it.
『Even if there is a limit to sinking under that weight and drowning.』
I mean that I am the only one who has no choice but to live like this.
So, I just struggled as best I could.
For graceful swans not to sink.
As if struggling under the surface.
I, too, am just struggling in places I can’t see.
Just like it was from yesterday until this morning.
I hope that the effort is meaningful.
Again—
I entered the crack without hesitation.
.
.
.
Upon entering the rift, what I saw was a horribly collapsed building.
It was too unappealing to call it [The count’s estate].
Reality and Arcana.
Even if it is an environment where the two landscapes are mixed, this is severe.
Perhaps the sense of aesthetics as an aristocrat naturally frowned.
“It’s a terrible territory. Ascura.”
I tossed my coat and moved forward.
“!”
And soon, he was able to face the ‘Soldier of Count Ascura’.
The soldier’s eyes were burning red.
The developed fangs were sticking out of the mouth.
It’s like I’m thirsty.
Saliva flowed continuously from his mouth.
Such a soldier noticed the presence and rushed at me.
I stared at the charging soldier.
Yes, this is confirmed once again.
It wasn’t an act of loyalty.
Just wearing the mask of authority.
Suffering from the curse of the ugly vampire.
He was just a pitiful victim.
I said it again.
“Looking at it again, it sucks.”
“Explored” the collapsed building and “interfered” with its shape.
“But even that is not worth it to you.”
Soon, the magic “manifested”.
Kwak-kwang-!!
.
.
.
Coo-gu-goo-!
A roar from behind.
“?!”
The two men turned their heads without saying who was first.
I could see the faintly rising dust.
Quick—
Nam Tae-min and Hisagi Kazuma gnashed their teeth at the same time.
‘…I don’t know who it is, but do it in moderation, right?’
It’s hard to care about this side and the other side.
