The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 167

Episode 167. You left something precious. (3)

Ransha couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

“…uh?”

Darkness swallowed the demon.

There was no sound or fuss there.

“What’s going on, Gardner?”

Those who woke up couldn’t even understand the meaning.

“It’s nothing, old man.”

You don’t have to disclose the situation as it is.

The appearance of the devil was also frightening.

It was a situation where an unknown darkness swallowed such a demon.

“how…?”

Gardner looked into the darkness again.

The days when he wandered the continent as a mercenary in the past.

Although Gardner had witnessed wizards and magic.

A black ‘something’ that speaks human words.

I had never seen anything like it.

Ransha suddenly muttered.

“…The End Crisiad Eternal Darkness.”

“huh? What did you just say, Ransha?”

“I think he said his name!”

“This name?”

Isn’t that too long for a name?

Like the name of an aristocrat from a great family.

Ransha continued.

“And according to the lord’s infinitely deep darkness…”

Infinitely deep darkness?

Gardner frowned and tried desperately to refresh his memory.

However, it has already been decades since he retired from the mercenary. I drank too much wine to remember the countless names that wandered the continent.

But what does name or affiliation matter?

“I definitely said I would save Dredsen!”

As I said, Dredsen was a very small town.

Even in the imperial territories.

Dredsen is a place that even high-ranking people who like to be treated well avoid. No matter how hard I tried to whip it, nothing came out.

“This is incomprehensible.”

Gardner’s eyes narrowed.

I didn’t want to say anything like this, but…

“Why does a big man who can be called lord care about things like us?”

I didn’t understand it at all.

Dredsen wasn’t the only one in danger.

All nearby towns and cities, even the Imperial Capital.

Arcana is in a situation where everything is collapsing at the hands of the devil.

Among them, do you mean to save us who have nothing?

But the doubts did not last long.

The Dark Diend opened its mouth again.

“Because you have not lost your pride in your hearts.”

“…Pride?”

“Like that man who never succumbed to the devil until the end.”

“…!!!”

everyone could tell

It was clear that the man was referring to Mate.

Kwok—

For a moment, power went into Lansha’s grip that was holding the sword.

It’s all about pride.

It must be strange to understand at once.

Ransha opened her mouth.

“…How do you know the fate of Mate?”

Even then, the doubts were still there.

Dredsen is a mountain village.

You wouldn’t have known what was happening in the village unless you literally looked down from the sky… But at that moment, a loud noise was heard from the sky.

To-do-du-

“?!”

Lansha, Gardner, and others looked up at the sky and were frightened.

The night sky shaped with mystic eyes.

A gigantic figure that appeared without regard for the gaze of such a demonic eye.

That was definitely a ‘ship’.

“What is that!”

“Are you Mr. Gardner?!”

“La Ransha! you may ask me A ship that flies!”

Diend continued to speak to those who were astonished.

“Even if the world turned away from you.”

“…?”

“My lord will not turn away from you.”

For some reason, his voice was so gentle.

“Just as I was also saved by the lord.”

*

Magic Tower.

As I climbed the stairs, I repeated it endlessly in my head.

…I wanted to turn away, but this day came.

‘The snout finally got the job done.’

It is none other than the spirit of ‘darkness’.

I mean, I guessed that my damn naming sense would manifest in this way. Just like in Highel…! I was generous enough to look up to the first name.

‘The end.’

But again, the back was a problem.

[The End Crisiad Eternal Darkness].

Everything should be done in moderation, really!

Eternal Darkness.

it’s eternal darkness

Truly, every time I think about it, I feel a shame that makes me want to close my eyes and be buried in eternal darkness… But this is also the weight I have to bear.

Yes, since the spirits have been increased by two, it means that it is natural that they are heavy.

‘I’m thankful for that from before.’

The senior magician of Elementalism, Payyan, has been delivering letters through parchment.

{Inherent Spirit} is an entity that transcends ranks and spirit contracts. Therefore, the existing contract is terminated.

‘Why does Hiel use natural abilities?’

Because there was no change in my horsepower.

There’s something special about native spirits, I guessed.

But I never thought that a new contract with a new spirit would be possible.

Naturally, I didn’t hesitate.

dark spirit.

Its momentum is enough to make Payyan’s contract spirit and high-ranking spirit Fire Drake nervous just by appearing.

Besides, I was the one who confirmed the ability of the Dark Spirit in the Teppern Labyrinth.

[Congratulations on the Dark Spirit King Arcane contract.]

I signed the contract and even gave it a name.

It was a problem because the name was so bizarre…

but I have no regrets.

‘Hiel and Diend are different.’

Awakened with a unique elemental.

Although it was a high-el that had grown more under the influence of [sublime], there is something about being born in the first place. Highel is a spirit of the forest and is not a spirit specialized in combat.

I don’t know who he resembles, but…

‘I’m good at fighting for things like that.’

I made stems rise and then disappear, but I also dealt with monsters with skill.

That it cannot be compared to the spirits of darkness.

So, I entrusted Dredsen to Diend.

[Quest: The Awakened Decisive Weapon’s Request]

Akkshan’s decisive battle weapon, the Quirnberg Machine Tower.

What I chose instead of answering the question was pride.

The machine’s memory wants to protect the survivors left behind.

—Rescue the survivors of Dredsen Village. (Success)

The result was displayed as a message.

Indeed, it is worthwhile to overcome shame and sing.

I thought it would succeed like a show, D-End.

‘The amount of horse power consumption was also quite good.’

[First World Tree Blessing] is always active.

That I’m not the me of the past who struggled with the amount of mana consumed.

It meant that it would be okay if Diend faced a strong enemy and used my magic. Well, it didn’t seem like that had happened since the mana was intact.

Again—

I reached the Crystal Hall.

roundtable conference.

Is this the first round table meeting after the players entered the Mage Tower?

Why does everyone look so nervous?

Of course I have nothing to do.

Because I knew myself well, exactly my cubic crystal.

‘It’s obvious that he’ll only pour out vicious words.’

I couldn’t think of my frog tadpole days.

They say they don’t even know the manifestation of search interference.

It was clear that the future would pour out nagging.

So, let’s keep our mouths shut today.

Let’s just attend the meeting as chief pants.

In the midst of making a promise, someone called.

“It’s been a while, Chief Lee.”

It was Bellier.

In greeting, I nodded lightly.

What is formality?

Respond sincerely to polite greetings.

Maybe it’s because he’s less worried about Marcelo.

It seems that your face is much brighter than before.

It was the moment I was about to respond.

“…what?”

Suddenly, Bellier’s gaze turned to my chest.

To be precise, the lapel brooch.

Bellier’s pupils widened.

“Your brooch has grown by one, chief? But something goes well with the brooch you originally wore! No, apart from that, it is beautiful.”

Of course, he has a keen eye for noticing even small changes.

The aesthetic point of view is also lacking.

Passed. Appointed to Valley.

Grandfell, of course, and I were a bit conceited.

‘I’m not sorry for recognizing it.’

[Name: Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo]

[Title: Last Adventurer Sublime]

[Class: Demon Hunter]

[Level: 544]

[Ability]

Strength: 90 / Agility: 100 / Magical Power: 423 / Luck: 10 / Aesthetic: Medium

[Possession Points: 50]

The experience accumulated in the Kürnberg Machine Tower was as expected.

Because the maximum level of 50 has risen at once.

Thanks to that, I easily reached level 500.

I mean, I was able to wear a second sextant brooch.

[Sexy Star Brooch 2/6]

[Rating: Unique]

[Limit: Lv.500]

[Effect: All physical attack damage increases by 10%.]

[Description: Part of a brooch that combines six to become one. Since it was only a small part, the effect was considerably lost.]

Without the magic tools borrowed from the Mage Tower, [Aesthetic] also rose to [Medium].

So no matter how hard I try not to show it, my heart is bound to be overwhelmed.

That’s because I only broke one savings account.

‘Let’s see, how many mechanical towers are there on the Arcana continent?’

If not, there will be one hundred.

Numbers are floating around in my head.

Somehow, I’ve been asking a lot lately, so I didn’t have any shame.

‘Nevertheless, please, Iron Castle Ho.’

It doesn’t matter if it’s shattered.

Please find as many remains of the mechanical tower as possible. Of course, my complex and worldly inner thoughts never came to light.

I replied succinctly.

“Thank you, Mr. Bellier.”

Udang-tang—

a face suddenly came closer with a loud sound.

It was Bensh William, a senior in fire magic.

“Even if it’s not so, I was going to tell you!”

What do you mean?

Is this an objection to the application for a tower?

I stared at Banshee.

“The new brooch looks good too!”

was that the story

There is no one in the world who does not like praise.

Besides, the new hexahedron brooch is like a medal to prove my efforts. There is no reason to feel bad. But I responded coldly.

“Please refrain from unnecessary conversation, Senior Bensh William.”

“…yes? yes?”

Banshee looked at me and Velier alternately.

It looks very unfortunate.

Actually, it’s me who resents Banshee.

The gnome’s exit application!

If you’re going to write something like that and submit it, why write it every day? However, such personal feelings did not exist for the fair and fair Grandfel.

It was.

Everything just follows the procedure.

Because Marcelo was on the podium.

“No small talk during meetings.”

“…!!!”

Look at the Crystal Hall, Banshee.

Aren’t even the players who don’t even know what the Mage Tower is like quietly being silent? Even though no one was nagging me.

‘I didn’t want to go this far, but…’

Benshe William.

You don’t even have to notice.

I recognized it from the time I wrote the application for the tower.

really.

.

.

.

“I thought I was choking to death in case I could even hear the sound of my real breathing!”

“If it’s Banshee William… isn’t that the senior fire magician?”

“Did you tell the senior that? It’s really scary Lee Ho-yeol!”

“But don’t you understand?”

“…Eh? what?”

“No, it’s not enough to enter the Arcana continent, so they say that they returned after hunting millions of demons, right? They say that even that wasn’t enough, so there was not a single wound…!”

*

After the round table, I entered the crack.

[Griffin’s Cliff]

[Recommended level: Lv.500]

[Collapse progress: 14.7%]

Now, it’s well over level 500.

The proper level of a tolerable crack was meaningless to me.

It’s not that it’s not dangerous, it’s that it’s impossible to level up no matter what rift you hunt. As I said last time, the time-to-efficiency fell.

Why did you enter the rift knowing that fact?

Well, there are several things.

First of all, according to pride.

‘I’ll have to check if the residents of Dredsen are all right.’

In the process, I had to risk shame and summon Diend, and I had to learn about the Iron Castle’s situation through Hiel. Let’s ask about the progress of the ego equipment.

But before that…

the scenery changed in an instant.

On top of the telephone pole, an eagle’s head suddenly appeared.

There was a griffin with the body of a beast.

[Sharp Claw Griffin: Lv. 500]

Did you notice my existence?

Kieh-!

As he roared loudly, gryphons flocked from all over the rift.

The number of heads is estimated at a dozen.

I opened my mouth.

“It’s an unnecessary distraction.”

But what’s not bad

‘Even if it wasn’t so, I was just curious.’

Applicants are welcome, whether they be birds or animals.

I straightened my clothes.

“It wasn’t enough to wag your tail and be quiet. Spreading its wings, raising its claws, and making noise. It only resembles bad things about birds and beasts.”

In particular, the direction of the hexahedral brooch was carefully aligned.

“Unfortunately, today’s discipline has just ended at the roundtable.”

It was.

Now.

It was an opportunity to check the set effect of the hexapod brooch.
