The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 176
Episode 176. Nothing happened…?
top lord.
It really is a fucking weight class.
In addition to the stat points invested in magical power, [Natural Enemy Relationship] has been activated now. My magical power wouldn’t be enough to reveal the bottom line with tolerable magic.
Messages kept popping up.
[The blessing of the first World Tree rejects ‘Magical Exhaustion’.]
[The blessing of the first World Tree rejects ‘Magical Exhaustion’.]
[The blessing of the first World Tree rejects ‘Magical Exhaustion’.]… ..
If it had not been for the blessing of the World Tree. Even if his legs had gone beyond loosening and he was knocked over on the floor, he would have been knocked over long ago. Seriously.
‘More than that.’
What caught me off guard was that the guy with the tinge was resisting even a little bit of the “weirdness”. He was simply enduring the odds with his weight class.
The power of Kii. Do I need to explain it?
‘The same goes for the guy I met in the crack of the broken dimension.’
Even Karimzeba couldn’t properly resist the strange combination of two completely different concepts.
Koo Goo Goo!
I calmly shook my head.
…If it wasn’t for the [Blessing of the First World Tree], would I have been able to defeat Gamigin? No, even if I desperately squeezed out my mana, it would have ended up staggering me.
But I stopped thinking about that.
“The prone position is what suits you.”
Whether it’s the buff effect.
Is it because of pride?
Whether it’s in return for the desperate struggle.
Whether it’s because of Grandfel’s setting that you must keep what you say.
I am Gamigin, the demon lord of the fourth throne.
Because it made him kneel.
The boy’s eyes finally came into view.
I could tell the moment I saw it.
The demonic eye of the sky overlooking the Arcana continent.
At the corners of Gamigin’s eyes, pupils identical to the demon’s eyes were shining.
‘Horrible.’
The [Magic Eye’s Telescope], which shares the vision of the Mystic Eye, illuminates the entire Arcana continent.
It must have been one of the reasons why the Arcana Continent had endured so far that it could not be ignored that the Mystic Eye only opens its eyes at night.
If I had missed Gamigin like this.
‘There must have been no safe time on the continent of Arcana anymore.’
If that were the case, the Kürnberg Machine Tower and even the Iron Castle wouldn’t have been safe.
In that sense, it’s a great Grand Fel.
Even a flurry.
Heaven and earth, infants alone.
Unbreakable in front of anyone.
My dark history has done one thing today.
and.
“Hey Akshan.”
In fact, I have already reached my limit.
It meant that at the point of making Gamigin lie flat, it was impossible to use any more magic or even lift a finger.
“□□!”
However, Gamigin was steadily falling into hell.
Exactly, it was being dragged.
The flames of Hell, which would burn away all demons, began to engulf Gamigin and pull him to Hell.
Gooooooh—
there were demon hunters in the middle of that hellfire.
Unlike me, there were Akshan demon hunters who would continue their endless hunt even in Hell.
‘But if someone calls, shouldn’t I pretend to be looking at them?’
It was a bit sad that he didn’t even look at me, but that’s Akkshan.
It is said that it is unkind enough to bring back memories of 10 and several years ago.
however.
“I will ask for your back.”
so you can trust
That Akshan will break if they break.
Because I know that if I throw away my pride, I will drown with it.
Quadruped!
Gamigin sinking through the cracks.
A slow-fading hellfire.
The gates of hell are closing.
When the exorcism is over, the stopped time passes.
The cracks that had been stopped begin to crumble properly.
‘I’m tired.’
It must have been a recoil from pouring out so much mana that even the blessings of the World Tree couldn’t handle it.
Damn, I feel like my body is going to collapse any minute.
However, unlike Gamigin, who trembled in hellfire.
Pretending to be normal since the days when I didn’t even have a clue, pretending to be calm.
It’s just that I’m amazingly good at that one thing.
It means that you still have the mental strength to take care of the ceremony….
Tuk-tuk.
Lightly shake off dust from clothes.
After tidying up my clothes, I straightened my back. Within a short time, the
field
of view has changed
.
What was left for the players was an experience, not a huge amount of experience or loot.
An experience that may be more valuable than the experience loot.
“…As I spoke, Player Arcanas emerged from the rift! Everyone looks okay!”
Amidst the crowds, the players felt it again.
It is true that we came back safely from that deadly rift.
But I couldn’t be more happy.
Because something keeps bothering me.
“…Can I ask you one thing over there?”
“?”
“Did you see the message? It came to mind at the end.”
“If that’s the case, I witnessed it.”
“So that’s what your expression looked like.”
A message popped up as soon as the rift was cleared.
[Demon King □□□ appears.]
Even in the light of the rift, the appearance message was clear.
Players knew the appearance message better than anyone else.
From the days when arcana was a game until now.
Because life depended on the appearance message.
“You have to run away, right?”
In a word, it was a warning.
A signal to run away as soon as a monster with a level higher than the appropriate level appears in the area. Thanks to this, some players breathed a sigh of relief.
“I see! It’s crazy that the rift just cleared.”
But relief soon turned to doubt.
It was because the expressions of the Arcana people were unusual.
No, it wasn’t just the Arcana people.
great union.
The three guild masters knew about the plan.
Nam Tae-min opened his mouth.
“Everything Mr. Hoyeol said was right. Looking at the appearance message, it is certain that the high-ranking demon king has been resurrected. By sacrificing the demons we defeated.”
“…what happens next?”
“It will go according to plan.”
“Damn his plan.”
Leonie had not objected to the plan.
Being the only one who opposes it is something that can be noticed.
But I was prepared.
If a high-ranking demon king appears in front of one’s eyes.
I will never stay still.
Kkuk—
Hisagi grabbed the spear pole.
“But there wasn’t even a chance for us.”
It wasn’t just Leoni and Hisagi’s thoughts.
Everyone, including Nam Tae-min and Harkon, did not show it, but they felt the same way.
Even the shadow mercenaries of the world.
“Damn it.”
fast.
Rockkid gnashed his teeth.
About the plan, I knew about it from Kichi.
If it’s not enough to enter the rift alone, you’re going to hunt monsters that are said to be high-ranking demons by yourself?
To put it simply, wouldn’t it be that a great employer would pretend to be cool by himself?
“This is not enough to pay off the debt.”
It was Rock Kid, a big fan of moving picture frame TV.
Thanks to that, Lockkid witnessed the whole story of the day he was defeated by Elsidore.
I looked back several times and realized.
Even if I fought thousands of times, I couldn’t defeat the big-eared guy.
and.
“Considering the ransom of this Rock Kid, it’s not enough!”
Even the fact that he would have died or been crippled for the rest of his life if his employer Ho-yeol had not appeared. So, I tried to quickly finish the given portion and join Ho-yeol.
plan?
I had never seen anything like that in my life anyway.
“I could definitely hear the sound of horses’ hooves…”
But just as something started in earnest.
kicked out of the rift
Rockkid asked his partner, Alkari.
“Let’s just ask for inspiration.”
“what?”
“Is our commander-in-chief different from me?”
“…Are you talking about what happened?”
Is old man senile? It’s all bullshit….
If only I hadn’t gotten and ate the potion…!
Lockkid suppressed his anger and asked again.
“…It’s not like that, but I’m asking if you have the ability to not bounce out of the rift when you become commander-in-chief.”
“Well, Lord Hoyeol, I’ve never had a conversation like that, so I don’t know. So this is an old friend’s guess… but no one, let alone Lord Ho-yeol, can resist a crack.”
“What makes you think that way?”
“You think you can resist something like that?”
Something like that…?
Rockkid recalled the rift.
Then he immediately nodded.
“Well, it boils porridge on a whim. Doesn’t he banish us to this world, or does he move a large city the size of Frost in an instant!”
Yes, that would be impossible, no matter how proficient in magic and overflowing with mana. Even after he nodded his head in agreement, the question still lingered.
Rock Kid scratched his confused head.
“Then how are we going to catch our commander-in-chief? A high-ranking demon king?”
“Tsk.”
Because I can’t understand properly.
Too many questions
not even notice
‘If I knew that, I’d be here with my heart tightened like this.’
It was the moment when Alkari wrinkled her brow.
New news came from the adventurers.
“Wait a minute, you say you clear the last rift?”
“Where is the last crack?”
“The 20th throne!”
“…!!”
If it’s the 20th throne, it’s the rift that Lord Hoyeol entered…!
Those who knew about the plan had no choice but to swallow dry saliva.
Clearing the rift meant one of two things.
plan success or failure.
.
.
.
portal manifestation.
[The 20th Throne].
Those who gathered at the location where the rift was created witnessed it.
Ho-yeol standing upright as always.
As expected, nothing can be guessed from the appearance and expression.
Marcelo and Harkon exchanged glances.
Nodding—
Nodding his head, he went to Ho-yeol.
Then he asked Ho-yeol, who was still turning his back.
however.
“What’s your plan…?”
Even though I spoke politely, there was no answer.
It was impossible due to the nature of Ho-yeol, who values formality.
So, I was able to figure it out right away.
“…Marcelo!”
At Harkon’s call, Marcelo did not delay.
A huge shimmering mana.
Marcelo manifested a portal.
.
.
.
mage tower.
Bellier opened his mouth.
“I think you simply lost your mind.”
Sighs erupted from everywhere.
Ho-yeol would lose his mind and pass out.
Because it was something I couldn’t even imagine.
Bangrit muttered in a hoarse voice.
“…to stand firm until the end.”
It was.
Ho-yeol had fainted while standing upright.
Whoops—
Banshe jabbed Bangrit’s side with his elbow.
He whispered softly to Bangrit, who grabbed his side.
“Do you really have to pay for the commons like that?”
“…sorry.”
“I didn’t mean to hear that you were sorry! Think of the eyes that see. We are the senior mages of the Mage Tower. That means you should never lose your dignity.”
Whip—
of course, Banshee’s voice that scolded him like that was trembling differently than usual.
Really, it was something no one expected.
Marcelo sorted things out.
“The fact that you were overexerting yourself to the point of losing your mind must be proof that you have embarked on a plan. Of course, the outcome will not be known until the Lord awakens.”
Harkon said bitterly.
“Really good answer.”
Nam Tae-min, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“I don’t know if you know it, but in our world Mr. Ho-yeol is nothing more than a symbol of peace. Because if Mr. Ho-yeol is shaken, the world will be shaken.”
Nam Tae-min clenched his fist.
“…because you know better than anyone. Even if you lost your mind, you couldn’t fall down. You must have been forced to stand upright, pretending to be fine.”
Could it be because of such kind consideration?
Only those gathered here knew that Ho-yeol had collapsed.
In other words, this moment when Ho-yeol collapsed.
The world was intoxicated with the sweet news of victory.
Kitsch brushed up his long straight hair.
‘You make me worry and you sin a lot. Employer.’
Shadow Mercenaries.
Because they are not great people who come to visit anyone.
The leader, Kichi, visited the Magic Tower as a representative.
‘…Anyway, I have a lot of sins in the Mage Tower.’
As expected, the Magic Tower was a suffocating space.
I don’t have anyone close to me, and the
only person I know is Leonie.
Kitsch glanced at Leonie standing next to him.
‘But even my cute unnie…’
Her condition is not very good.
I was short, so I could only see the top of my head.
Feelings came from the drooping shoulders.
To be honest, I didn’t understand kitsch.
‘Aren’t you supposed to be happy? That human… No, isn’t it amazing that our commander-in-chief came back alive? What is fainting? I drink all the time and pass out.’
Whatever the outcome, it was eaten cheaply.
Kitsch opened his mouth to ventilate the heavy atmosphere.
“Isn’t it more important to stay calm than that? It’s nice to worry about you by your side, but I think it’s better to step aside.”
Bellier, who was watching Ho-yeol’s condition, said.
“That’s right, when you wake up, you might hear one by one.”
“…I’ll go first to return the magic tools.”
Hurry up—
Benshi quickly exited the private room, and the others followed suit.
It was the moment when Marcelo was about to take his last step.
Bellier called him and stopped him.
“Chief Marcelo.”
“I’m listening to you, Mr. Bellier.”
“I’m not sure, but I feel I have to tell you.”
“…?”
It
was only then that Bellier’s mana dissipated from Ho-yeol’s body.
Soon, Bellier continued with a confident voice.
“I think Chief Lee succeeded in his plan.”
“…How did Senior Bellier do that?”
“Anyway, the reason Chief Lee collapsed seems to be related to that.”
“If that’s the case… Does this mean that Chief Lee didn’t collapse simply because of overdoing it?”
manifestation of healing magic.
Thanks to this, Bellier, who was examining Ho-yeol’s body with magic, could feel it.
The mighty aura that sways around the heart of the heat…!
If it’s the mighty aura that dwells in the heart of a mage, then, of course.
Bellier’s green eyes sparkled.
“Anyway, Chief Lee seems to have defeated the high-ranking demon king and matured as a one-level wizard…!”
It was.
That’s a magician who has risen to the heights.
It was clear that the 『Circle』 that only they could embrace.
*
…I opened my eyes.
What came into my field of vision was a message.
What is this strange message?
[Your achievements resonate in space and time.]
[The beings of space and time talk about your qualifications.]
[Acquire the title ‘Transcendentalist’.]
…Isn’t it Arcana Continent, space and time?
What are you doing?!
It was a fleeting moment with no time to react.
Suddenly, I felt my heart beat.
Chi Lung!
…Wait, why is my heart pounding metal?
