The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 15

Episode 15. Another whale in the whale fight (3)

There are many gods in the world of Arcana.

And there are religions that serve such a god.

If there is a god, there is also a devil who opposes him.

Even in those religions there were priests who confronted the devil.

‘I said he was an exorcist priest.’

Of course, to the extent that I even dig into religion or other classes.

It wasn’t that I was interested in the world of Arcana.

It just brought back memories I had forgotten about. As with the others, this passage was what I was tired of listening to while doing the demon hunter quests.

-The exorcism priests’ exorcism ritual only drives out demons. There can be no fundamental solution. we are different from them ‘Cause we rip the devil to death

…No, I mean it felt really cool back then.

-When you look into the abyss, does the abyss also look into you? Even if you fall into evil and become a devil. We only hunt demons. Because that is the way of a demon hunter.

But after growing up, I saw that there is no other end like this.

Not to mention labor laws.

It was a job that gave away dogs from human rights, right?

‘For middle school students who don’t know anything.’

Well done Akkshan!

Wait a minute to blame my dark history on others.

-The difference is most clearly revealed in the exorcism ceremony.

[Exorcism].

In addition to the natural enemy relationship, there are only two unique skills for demon hunters.

I opened the skill window and confirmed the difference.

───────

Exorcism: Invite the devil to the ritual.

───────

I only used it once after becoming a player.

Why in the battle with the imp possessed by Nam Cheol-min?

The effect is half that.

no, it was worse than that.

‘Only the most basic effects were activated.’

It’s not that it damages the possessor.

An effect that directly inflicts damage on possessed demons.

It was unavoidable.

There were no sacrifices needed for the exorcism.

-The demon hunter’s exorcism is different from sacrifice. Other religions require pure, untainted sacrifices to borrow the power of the gods….

In the first place, demon hunters did not serve gods.

If God really existed.

There would be no demons in the world.

Because that was what the demon hunters were thinking.

– Bear in mind. Our offerings are anything that is infused with evil.

Yes everything that is evil.

I had seen the offering when I performed an exorcism while performing a quest in the past.

That item was the devil’s item.

This was what players considered a simple draw item.

I looked at the necklace.

Looking at it, the human mind is like that again.

‘…I want to try this again.’

What do you feel?

I think I might be the winner.

Above all, it was a necklace accessory.

For now, it is certain that it is a rare grade item. If at least one magic regenerative option is attached… the greed that I might be able to reduce my worries about magic efficiency even a little bit.

But I don’t care if I win or not.

I know this is a futile expectation.

『For Grand Fell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo, wealth was fleeting.』

That there was no way I could do such a thing.

Because I know you very well.

I mean through past experience.

Furthermore, I learned that the devil’s item was a sacrifice of exorcism.

『No devil’s temptations and trials of deception can even damage the lofty pride of Grandfel.』

“This is also a trivial temptation.”

I said that and stopped lingering for him.

But I didn’t feel any regret.

Putting aside Grandfell’s lofty personality, now

that I think about it… it wasn’t anything to be regrettable about.

‘…If it’s an exorcism ritual using sacrifices for a moment.’

Wouldn’t the effect of the exorcism ceremony work properly?

I recalled the effect of the exorcism I had seen in a previous quest.

‘…If only the effect had passed as it was.’

…I wonder if this is possible?

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can hunt the Count Ascura.

Only level 91.

It was arrogance to think that you could catch a level 430 monster. What I thought was possible was none other than a quest.

-Hunt the vampires. (In progress) ▲

●Notify that the hunt has begun. (Success)

●Let them feel the fear of being hunted. (In progress)

A class quest that is not a normal quest.

not hunting.

Wouldn’t it be possible to make people feel the fear of being hunted?

Anyway, it’s something you’ll find out if you try.

Again—

the reason was that he overcame the devil’s temptation.

I took a more confident step.

My stride soon stopped.

…what’s so much?

*

The first thing I noticed was when I entered the main street.

It must have been a downtown before it fell into ruin.

But not a single shadow could be seen on that vast street.

‘Something is unusual.’

Nam Tae-min’s intuition warned him.

Isn’t the current situation strange?

Yes, it was heterogeneous if judged soberly.

‘The number of objects is too small.’

[Earl’s estate].

The number of monsters that entered the rift and slain was less than ten.

Wasn’t it stolen by the Inazuma guys? I’m sorry, but the situation over there won’t be much different.

“I’ve been scouting and it’s the same.”

Unhide.

A guild member appeared and reported to Nam Tae-min.

“Looking at the terrain, all roads lead to one in the central square. If we keep going like this, we’ll run into Inazuma-kun at the plaza. So I’ll join you too.”

Indeed, it was as she said.

As I entered the central plaza, I saw Inazuma guys.

Hisagi looked this way and spoke.

“This resolution is colorless and peaceful. Isn’t it?”

Hisagi Kazuma.

If there were snake people in the world, wouldn’t they look just like that? To the extent that I think so, he resembles a snake.

His smile was like a snake flicking its tongue.

Nam Tae-min frowned.

“Aren’t we supposed to say hello?”

“Another sad sound.”

“Let’s stop there. it’s annoying now you also. Inazuma too.”

Nam Tae-min did not like Hisagi.

Even when I was defeated by him, even when I defeated him.

Hisagi was always smiling. As creepy as it is now.

But that too is a thing of the past.

Now you can also go to Gaon.

Because Hisagi and Inazuma had nothing to lose.

“Are you bothered? Koreans are too direct. you will get hurt To the extent that I want to return this pain.”

Nam Tae-min smiled.

“huh. If you have the ability to give it back, then so be it.”

At that provocation, Inazuma’s guild members were furious.

“That bastard…!”

At that time, a voice came from Nam Tae-min’s ear.

To Konoya and to Pagaya.

It’s too loud for that voice.

When I turned up the volume of the earphones, Nam Chul-min’s voice was heard.

-Ah, can you hear me now?

“Listen well. I raised my voice a bit.”

– It’s nice to hear you. But did I just have to say that?

“There is such a thing as momentum in hyung’s rift. You shouldn’t be pushed.”

-okay? If you are, that would be the case, but…

Nam Cheol-min added.

– I think it’s better to get along well right now.

“What are you talking about?”

-I got information about Shining and Unification.

“…what? Are they progressing faster than we do?”

-What can’t be helped? It’s different from us who pick things up. Because you’re in the middle of a game of chicken where emotions take precedence. Anyway, thanks for figuring out the pattern.

figured out the pattern.

An hour was laid at the sound.

“Really? It’s worth having him as my brother’s analyst.”

– It’s because this is a little tricky to put into words. I’ll talk while watching the transmission screen. But where are you now? There is nothing to see around. Haven’t you seen any trees since before?

“here? looks like a square Many crossroads all lead here.”

-…what?

Nam Cheol-min hurriedly spoke at the sound.

– Come out of the square immediately. hurry!

“…!”

I don’t know why right now.

Since Nam Chul-min said so, it was best to follow him.

But was it because of the war of nerves with Hisagi?

Damn I was a beat late.

Doo doo doo-!

The sound of horses hooves echoing through the square.

Everyone was startled by the roar.

“…what is this?”

“Wait a minute! The ground is shaking?!”

“The enemy is coming! Get the location!”

sereung-!

Nam Tae-min quickly took a fighting stance.

His class is Barbarian Barbarian.

He raised a greatsword larger than most adult men.

– Damn, I can’t help it. The first collision has to be accepted.

“Are these knights?”

-that’s right. 350 levels. Knights of Count Ascura.

Doo doo doo-!

Are you really a knight?

Appearing on horseback

The level was also a level, but being a cavalryman was a bigger problem.

Nam Cheol-min knew that too.

-Even if you put a tanker in front, you will be fatally injured. Because the tank line of the unification of the world couldn’t completely block the rush. So I had to fight in the narrowest possible place…

that was right.

In such a wide area, the destructive power of cavalry is doubled.

There was another problem.

“…master!”

“say. I am listening.”

“Is this a three-way attack? Cavalrymen are charging from three directions except from the south we came from!!”

It’s three-way.

In this way, it was difficult to come up with a front line to accept sacrifices.

However, the situation was the same for Inazuma.

Hisagi said to Nam Tae-min.

“I don’t like it, but I can’t help it. I will leave your back.”

…leave me behind your back?

this shameless bastard

Nam Tae-min wanted to strike back, but Nam Cheol-min stopped him.

– I understand how you feel, but I can’t help it. Right now, we have no choice but to leave each other’s back. If we take East Inazuma to take West, what’s left is North? shit. Melee should be avoided…

Yes, melee should be avoided as much as possible.

11th in player rankings.

Nam Tae-min’s level was 368, which was higher than that of Count Ascura’s knights, but there were many other guild members who were not. In a melee situation, it was obvious that the gap would lead to great damage.

“…My mistake.”

It’s not serious.

When intuition warned.

I couldn’t have entered the plaza innocently.

No, if he hadn’t had a useless war of nerves with Hisagi…

But it was already spilled water.

“I’ll take care of the north.”

Nam Tae-min’s eyes began to burn.

More intensely barbaric.

Barbarian’s unique skill was activated.

───────

Berserk: Attack power greatly increases and becomes insensitive to damage.

───────

-…Are you crazy? Are you going to take charge of the North alone?

that would be crazy

But mistakes are to be held accountable.

The time when Nam Tae-min made up his secret determination.

The Count’s knights finally appeared.

Doo doo doo-!

Cavalry attacking from three directions.

Its majesty was truly gloomy.

Blood red eyes.

It seems to express a thirst for blood.

A harsh exhaled breath.

If it wasn’t for the berserk, it would have definitely shrunk.

But the promise is made.

It was the moment when I firmly gripped the greatsword.

“?!”

Koo-gu-gu-!

roar!

It was different from the sound of horses hooves.

If the horse’s hooves made the ground tremble.

It was so powerful that it seemed to turn the ground upside down.

“…this?”

I’ve definitely heard this roar.

Nam Tae-min and Hisagi.

The two men hesitated at the same time.

It took an instant for that hesitation to turn to astonishment.

“!!”

The shaking ground began to rise.

like a great wall.

The stone wall that soared far away before I knew it.

It was a perfect counterpoint to the rush of the knights.

“What is this all of a sudden?”

“…is there a player in Gaon who can use this kind of magic?”

“Could it be Inazuma’s work?”

in a fuss

Ttogak—

the clear sound of shoes suddenly echoing in the plaza.

Taemin Nam turned his head in the direction of the sound.

There was a man wearing a long black coat.

OK.

I heard Nam Chul-min’s voice, more embarrassed than ever.

-…Wait a minute! Is that face…? That’s right. what is this? Could it be that you summoned that stone wall?! no wait. Is that possible? No, that doesn’t make sense?!

*

I built a wall.

It would be disappointing to dismiss it as mere 『magic』.

Of course, considering the efficiency of horsepower.

‘It is the so-called law of action and reaction.’

Even the basic physical knowledge learned in school days.

In other words, it is a fortress wall that was desperately gathered and raised as a foundation.

As you can see, I was giving my all at every moment.

to not sink.

It means that you are struggling to do your best.
