The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 36
Episode 36. Integrity and innocence (2)
Activation of exorcism.
From now on, it’s a mental battle.
I looked at the evil that had risen from the throne.
[Seven Deadly Sins, Incarnation of Greed: Lv.650]
His appearance was that of a man.
I could feel it as soon as I saw it.
It’s different from Count Ascura.
‘It’s rather like Nam Chul-min’s time.’
What if Cheol-Min Nam had his body and mind stolen by an imp?
That man must have been possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins of greed.
Imps and the Seven Deadly Sins Greed.
Lesser demons and giants.
It is only natural that there is a greater gap than the level.
But it didn’t matter to me.
“There is no need for that. Here I am.”
Even the cheesy lines that I can tolerate now.
The pride in my heart that never breaks.
I am as usual.
But it seemed he wasn’t.
“Who are you? how…?”
I want to ask you again.
What’s the first time you’ve seen a demon hunter after becoming a villain?
But as you said.
It’s
because I’m the type that doesn’t mix words with prey.
I could guess why the giant was surprised.
“…Are you out of the status quo?”
The moment the exorcism began.
Nam Tae-min and Leonie immediately came to their senses.
‘Even though I couldn’t express myself, I was scared because I thought it was really stabbing me…’
That was proof that the guy was shaking at the same time.
So, there was no hesitation.
Shuk—
I took out a silver dagger.
expression of exploratory interference.
Through a series of processes, the shape of the dagger was changed.
‘The remaining amount of magic is sufficient.’
Knights of the Lionheart.
And with the help of the two guilds Gaon and Berserker, I was able to reach the front of the giant without using any magic.
that it is
‘More creative expression is possible.’
In other words, the situation itself was different from the time of Count Ascura.
At that time, all I had to do was insert the silver stake that was manifested from the silver dagger.
But I’ve been struggling without stopping ever since.
Sink into this lofty pride.
I mean, I did my best not to drown.
The fruits of that struggle were unfolding before my eyes.
Quad deuk-!
bottom of the palace.
Interference in stone marble.
In an instant, it made the wall rise.
A silver dagger is expressed in the form of a bullet.
It also interferes with the appearance of bullets to enhance lethality.
Vortex to maximize the synergistic effect of rotational force.
So, the drill type is suitable.
Fluffy—
hundreds of silver bullets floating in the air.
Hundreds of bullets on a crude stake.
I am thrilled
As if writing a blink.
I feel the reward of filling the A4 paper every day.
However, he has a non-joyful personality.
Even that is not enough, noblesse oblige.
The responsibility of being a nobleman rested on my shoulders.
So, we need to be a little more certain.
Besides, I already knew how.
‘It’s not just ‘magic’ to me.’
Although it is clearly different from magic.
There are also [Skills] that have each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
───────
Shooting Mastery (26%): Increases shooting accuracy.
───────
Will the shooting mastery effect be applied to bullets?
I haven’t checked, so I wouldn’t know.
So now is the moment to choose a more certain path.
Quadruped—
a fragment of marble floating in the air as well.
I manifest magic.
I made an arrow shaft out of marble shards.
Silver bullets and marble arrowheads were attached together.
Because arrows were definitely influenced by shooting mastery.
‘A fusion of magic and skill.’
If I add one more nasty thing to that…
the bigger the mass, the bigger the power.
It is added to common sense level science.
Yes, this was the view I was looking at.
“…that’s great. Lord Hoyeol.”
A personality that doesn’t care about other people’s evaluation.
It is said that admiration erupted from Harkon.
There was no excitement in the heart.
I was just curious at this moment.
It was the vision of the gigantic evil standing still.
*
‘…I wanted to protect.’
That was all.
That is the last king of Yusra Kingdom.
It was Hakuna’s regret.
There was no shortage in Yusra Kingdom.
Food from the land and the sea did not dry out, sparkling jewels abounded, and the people were free from anxiety and worry.
“How is it? Aren’t you beautiful to look at?”
Hakuna was satisfied to see her own kingdom like that.
So he proudly treated the stranger who visited the island.
He boasted of his treasure and his people.
that was wrong
“…What did I do?”
A huge ship anchored in Yusra Kingdom.
A stranger led an army and invaded Yusra Kingdom.
land sea mines.
He even took the people captive.
The kingdom of Yusra, where there was no quarrel.
Of course, it was impossible to fight back.
Everything in the kingdom has been trampled on.
“Hurry up and get away! You are my King!”
“Hey! king Please make a promise for the future!”
“O king! hurry…!! Aww!!”
Hakuna sat on the throne and watched the fallen soldier.
His own kingdom was crumbling.
Hakuna, who was idly witnessing the horrors, was grabbed by the throat.
He was a stranger.
he was laughing
“Because it is too much of an island for a foolish people.”
“…Is it just for that reason?”
“of course! stupid king Do you know how much this gem is worth? In our kingdom, you can live on for the rest of your life with just one of these jewels. But such precious jewels are being treated like children’s toys here! How uncivilized it is!”
“…if you told me, I could share.”
“Eat and fall? What the fuck.”
Whoop—
the stranger snatched the crown Hakuna was wearing and threw him down.
Hakuna collapsed in front of the throne and gritted her teeth.
it’s mine
Kingdom of Yusra.
Everything on this island is mine.
That no one can take it away from me.
It was then.
that the voice was heard.
-You greedy foolish king.
“…?”
whose voice is it
Actually, none of that mattered.
-Do you want power?
…Just I want!
The power to protect my everything…!
-good night. The contract was established.
A ghastly scream that pierces the eardrum.
The long darkness that followed….
And now.
A voice came from the darkness.
“yes! I am now on the legendary treasure island of Yusra Islands.”
It is not a legendary treasure island.
Yusra Kingdom is only my kingdom.
“First of all, securing the treasure of the island is the top priority.”
It is not an island treasure.
It is only my own treasure.
A voice came as if to recall that fact.
-Are you going to stay still?
-Everyone is taking your treasure?
-I’m the only one who fully understands your heart, can I help you?
then help me
like in the distant past.
I mean help me
-…A long ago? what’s good the contract is concluded
And woke up from the dark
When he opened his eyes, he saw his own throne.
A golden palace was seen.
Just like in the past, I could see the trash crashing into the palace.
However, I couldn’t move a single finger at will.
more than contracted.
Because the body and mind were no longer their own.
But it’s okay.
If only I could defend my kingdom.
No matter how many bodies you have…
“Who are you? how…?”
…But what are you doing?
For some reason, his body was trembling with fear.
silver hair.
heterogeneous outfit.
But his eyes didn’t waver at all.
The guy who took over his body was being overwhelmed by an unknown man.
Confused, the boy began to spit out words out of his mouth.
“You weakling, do not dare to deceive me. I am the Seven Deadly Sins of Greed. Even if you wear the mask of an incarnation, a human like you…!!”
But no answer came back.
Quadruped—
“What the heck is this?”
It’s like he won’t even tolerate stepping backwards.
An immeasurable wall rose from the ground.
that was just the beginning
“…Oh, no!”
Hundreds of silver nuggets floating in the air.
The guy who occupied the body reacted violently.
Hakuna was heartbroken.
‘How can you protect my treasure like this!’
Isn’t it different from the promise!
No answer came back.
I can only hear the words coming out of my mouth.
“That doesn’t make sense. Why am I a human…?”
Puff-!
Soon I began to feel direct pain.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
It’s not enough that a giant silver arrow flies.
An unquenchable flame began to burn the body.
Hakuna gritted her teeth.
If I go on like this, my treasures will be taken away.
It was the moment I thought so.
“…okay! good night! Make a contract with me!”
…what?
“If you make a contract with me, I will give you all of this. can’t you see All this splendid golden palace will be yours!”
…What are you talking about?
high ceilings.
brilliant decoration.
expansive size.
This golden palace belongs to no one else, only to me.
I mean, I can’t give it up to anyone!
Hakuna wanted to scream.
But he couldn’t control his own body.
‘…I was tricked.’
It was then that Hakuna remembered.
The identity of the person he contracted with.
As I said myself, this guy was a devil, and a gigantic one.
‘Are you even deceiving me after all?’
I didn’t even feel resentful of despair.
…that was then.
What a cold voice was heard.
“That look is ugly. Foolish demon.”
unwavering voice.
The silver-haired man continued.
“It is very insignificant to cling to the ephemeral.”
… fleeting?
This splendid golden palace?
What I couldn’t understand was the same with Hakuna and the devil.
“What are you talking about…?!”
I was speechless.
To the sight unfolding before your eyes.
As soon as the man’s words were finished.
Roaring—!
The golden palace began to burn.
Marble golden jewelry.
did not choose anything
Everything turned to ash and began to scatter in the air.
“…Boo is impossible! That is impossible!”
The voice of a screaming demon.
The face of the man reflected in the field of vision.
The man’s pupil was visible.
‘!’
Eyes that do not feel even the slightest agitation.
As if he didn’t even care about the golden palace.
Also, all riches and honors turn to ashes.
As if you’ve experienced it before.
The man’s pupils were extremely calm.
What is reflected in that calm lake-like pupil.
‘…is that really me?’
It was an ugly image of himself corrupted by greed.
Again—
the man started approaching.
“Isn’t it foolish? The moment you close your eyes, the only thing you can take is the pride in your heart.”
pride.
The moment he heard those words, Hakuna realized.
‘…What the hell have I done?’
In the end, wanting to protect was an excuse.
Hakuna last minute.
He recalled the faces of soldiers who gave their lives to protect themselves.
yes they were laughing
He said it was an honor to serve him as a king.
Hakuna was in despair.
‘But I am…!!’
Because of greed beyond greed.
I fell for the devil’s twist.
He revived the soldiers who had sacrificed themselves nobly and made them suffer again.
Even though he was able to struggle to the end to save the captive people, he turned away from them.
There was no responsibility left for him as a monarch.
Only the greed to protect the treasure of the island remained.
“How can a devil or something like that understand pride?”
The man was right.
The image of his fallen self would be no different from that of a demon.
There was no pride left for him.
When he admitted that fact, his frustrated heart calmed down.
‘…I’m sorry.’
It’s late, but I’ll follow you.
Hakuna closed her eyes.
He readily accepted his own death.
“Save me! Ah, I don’t want to die yet…!!”
Sukkuk-
Thank you, nameless benefactor.
For letting me not be fooled anymore.
“…?”
…And Hakuna opened her eyes.
Why are your eyes open?
I definitely felt the sensation of a knife being driven into my throat.
Besides, isn’t it too bright for something that fell into hell?
“…!”
vision slowly returning.
There was a silver-haired man there.
The man said so.
“Nevertheless, be proud of yourself.”
…This?
A crown was in the man’s hand.
The light faded, but it was instantly recognizable.
That was Hakuna’s own crown.
“…?!”
The man put a crown on his head and said.
“It is time to right the wrong. The nameless king.”
“…!!”
.
.
.
[The level has risen.]
[The level has risen.]
[The level has risen.]…
It will take a while to check this.
Proper settlement will be done later.
I took out the treasure crown of the island and held it up.
[Island Treasure Broken Crown]
[Rating: Epic]
[Limit: Lv.500]
[Effect: None]
[Description: It’s an old crown.]
“Nevertheless, be proud of yourself.”
It’s natural.
I don’t know the story of the old crown and the man who was swung by the giant just now. But I know for sure how to use this crown.
[Hidden Quest: Yusra Kingdom]
The legendary treasure island has reappeared.
The awakened king wants to right his mistakes and restore his pride.
—The crown is given to the king of Yusura Kingdom. (In progress)
Well, isn’t that enough right now?
“It’s time to right the wrong. The unknown king.”
Then a message popped up.
‘…wait for a sec.’
Enough to fill your field of vision…!
