The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 439
Episode 439. Hypocrite (1)
The reward was sweet.
“Seizing opportunities is also a skill.”
“look. Is there an easy way to get there?”
“Yeah, since when did everyone live so damn nice?”
A lot of world quests that came to mind.
It was a quest that had to be hostile to the Empire. At first, it was intriguing. Why wasn’t it not enough that the emperor of the empire died, so even Lee Ho-yeol, who was being discussed as the next emperor, gave up the throne?
“But you must have moved at that time.”
However, the forces gathered in Antonium were unusual. Not to mention the Knights of the Lionheart, who had returned from reality, as well as powerful forces that could not be known where they came from.
“I went one step further and said that the northern part of Antonium was guarded by a dragon…”
“Didn’t I say that the Apocalypto Guild was properly robbed?”
“Tsk tsk. That’s why you have to notice like us.”
In that sense, the important thing was timing.
“I just need to look at Lee Ho-yeol, you idiots.”
about thirty people.
Gambas is a guild member who rode the same boat with the same thoughts.
I looked at the players.
The name of the ship is [Broad Expo].
Reflect on the knowledge of the days when Arcana was just a game.
“He’s a big man who divided the shadow mercenaries and the shadows. Arcana Continent for us. No, at least it’s a deviation that I wouldn’t have dreamed of even if the empire was fine. The bounty would have been raised just because you joined the berserker?”
notorious system.
In the Empire’s territories, if you commit an evil deed, the Empire’s soldiers will follow you.
However, the story is different when it comes to the ruined Arcana continent.
“You can’t afford to care about us!”
The Empire, let alone maintaining the security of its territory.
It was also urgent to protect the capital, Antonium.
Of course, Gambas intended to keep the proper line.
“You don’t want to live your whole life on the Arcana continent, right? So, let’s do everything in moderation, in moderation. While avoiding confrontation with the players as much as possible…”
The reason for avoiding it was simple.
A PK where players hunt players.
From the collapsed unification of the world to the supernovas that disappeared without a trace.
Because Gambas learned a lesson from the end of a player who used to be a PK.
Apart from that reason, there was no reason for the same players to confront each other.
“To put it simply, we are only targeting Arcanas who have no repercussions even if we deal with them! Who’s going to recognize us? There are no cameras, smartphones, or SNS on the Arcana continent!”
Gambas confirmed the quest objective.
[World Quest: For the Resurrection of Madness]
Are you ready to dye the continent into madness?
What the Broadshoe wants from you is proof.
Let the madness of chaos cover the continent.
– Carry out the slaughter in the name of the broadside. (In progress)
Gambas’s eyes sparkled like oil.
“You know the reputation of the Shadow Mercenaries, right? How much money did those guys make? It’s the broadside that was the rival of the shadow mercenaries. If only I could build relationships and influence step by step here!”
“You mean we can catch up with Lee Ho-yeol?”
“…no, but Lee Ho-yeol is a bit like that.”
No matter how mad he was, he had to regain his reason.
“…Well, even if we can’t control the sunny side where Lee Ho-yeol exists, we can control the negative side. Isn’t that bad business? What do you know? That the Arcana continent is not intact.”
In chaos, the shadow of the dark side is thicker than the light side.
I don’t know what other players will think.
Gambas thought his choice was the most reasonable.
The corner of the mouth that rises meanly.
‘Yes, even if things get twisted…’
There was no way for this mogaji to run away.
Lee Ho-yeol He was a merciful man.
He showed mercy to non-devils over and over again.
Furthermore, the nemesis of the broadsword society.
It is an established fact that the shadow mercenaries are also following Lee Ho-yeol’s orders. Even if the Kwangpokhoe were defeated in the power battle with the Shadow Mercenaries, the Shadow Mercenaries would not be able to do anything about themselves as players.
‘Even by looking at Lee Ho-yeol.’
Gambas murmured.
“In the end, it’s a business that has nothing to lose.”
There was no reason to delay.
Carry out the slaughter in the name of the gang.
The players, including Gambas, immediately achieved the quest goal.
I’ve already thought of that excuse.
“We just killed a demon possessing a human.”
Why was it a common ghost story among players?
After stabbing a party member in order to monopolize the loot obtained from the rift. He said he couldn’t help it because he was possessed by the devil. Rumor has it that there aren’t just one or two players pouring out fake tears.
Gambas opened his mouth slightly.
“Is there any law that says Lee Ho-yeol wouldn’t have done that? No, Lee Ho-yeol will hunt demons mercilessly. Maybe they mistook innocent players for demons and hunted them…”
That was then.
[※Caution: HP is too low.]
Seriously.
The reason why Gambas’ eyesight turned black and white.
“…uh?”
Degur.
With a dying heart.
Gambas’s head rolls down to the floor.
Gambas, who had just been talking, died instantly.
“Ga Gambas?”
More unrealistic than a scene in a movie. A solid red line appeared from the nape of her neck, and her neck fell off. It was like a mannequin falling over.
“Ughhhhhh!”
I didn’t even dare to respond.
Gambas is one of the players who joined the broadshoe.
Because he had the power to count in one hand.
Bubbly.
“Please…! All lives!!”
So, all Gambas and his party threw down their weapons, knelt down, and bowed their heads. All I could do was keep my head down and think of the reason.
‘…Could it be that we killed a high-ranking NPC?’
‘No it can’t be. It was a common beggar!’
‘No matter how hard it is, the reason to kill us is…!’
A voice suddenly rings out.
“What are you an adventurer?”
…recognized that we are adventurers?
There was a hint of hope in his voice. It was the moment when the players quietly lifted their heads. It was a face you would never forget if you saw it once.
Shadow Mercenary Corps Malseok Rock Kid.
Rock Kid’s notoriety was exceptionally high. First of all, if you have visited the Golden Calf Tavern in Yusra Kingdom at least once, you have to know about Rock Kid, a famous customer.
‘I lived.’
The players were relieved.
It was the same reason as Gambas. The shadow mercenaries, including Rock Kid, were still feared, but weren’t they closely related to Lee Ho-yeol anyway?
‘…Yeah, even thinking of Lee Ho-yeol.’
The shadow mercenaries have no choice but to show mercy to us.
Didn’t Gambas tell you?
We believe in Gambas’ words…
“…!”
A reality that becomes aware of in an instant.
It was.
Gambas, who was sure, was already amputated by Rock Kid.
‘…That’s simply because I didn’t recognize him as an adventurer.’
Okay, at times like this, I needed an appeal.
“That’s right! We are player adventurers! In pursuit of a quest, I had no choice but to join the broadshoe… Of course I didn’t mean it! How could we do such a disrespectful thing when we are allied to the Holy Temple?”
“Hmm.”
“You’re Lockkid from the Shadow Mercenary Corps, right? I just think of it as an unavoidable accident. Because we also have a small responsibility. I will never mention the current accident to anyone, including Captain Lee Ho-yeol, and I will live my life burying it…”
Rockkid replied.
“No, you don’t have to.”
“…yes?”
“You guys are going to die here.”
quick.
Lockkid’s two-handed axes rush at defenseless players.
Ruler of the Colosseum.
Rock Kid’s face was stained with blood just like that time.
Pooh.
However, he does not taste the hot blood on his tongue as he did back then.
don’t even let out a laugh
not even excited
Rockkid just looked at the strewn corpse with a cold gaze.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
Abominable bastards.
Rockkid immediately moved on. The Kwangpokhoe was using the abandoned castle as a hideout. It wasn’t that he had been defeated by the shadow mercenaries of the past, who were nothing more than trash.
“If it’s in the dark, live like a shady place.”
Didn’t you break the basics and end up ruining everything for me?
“Oh, that’s bloody. Rock kid.”
“Shut up, old man.”
“The blood-smelling frog.”
“Shut up, wizard.”
“How many people have you killed, Rock Kid? Did I win again?”
“Shut up, dwarf.”
Excluding Nadivo, the eighth-seok who was killed in action.
The scattered shadow mercenaries gathered in front of the castle gate. Rockkid looked around. Kitsch was invisible. As expected, I wanted to be the first to enter the interior.
clap.
Instead, he saw Wolf. Wolf’s crossbow was aiming at the adventurer’s head, who was dripping with tears. The adventurer begged Wolf.
“please…! I’ll beg you like this I will never talk about what happened today! Are you worried about that too? In real life and on the Arcana Continent, this kind of evil is spreading and there is nothing good about it, isn’t it?!”
That’s not wrong.
Lockkid remembered his life in Yusra Kingdom.
It was free but not bad.
Sometimes, to the point of forgetting this terrible smell of blood.
I always thought at the same time.
My place is not such a peaceful place.
Lockkid gripped the hilt tightly.
Wolf If that bastard hesitates.
That adventurer’s head I will slaughter.
however.
“It was. You have stepped on the Arcana Continent with such calculations in mind. That’s why he was begging for his life from me, the leader of the Shadow Mercenary Corps, even after joining the Broads.”
Wolf added coldly.
“It will be the end befitting a hypocrite like you.”
“…!”
Did you notice that there is no hope in that word?
If not, is it the last outburst right before death?
The adventurer grabbed Wolf by the tail and stretched out.
“dissembler? Well done you trash bastards! Shadow Mercenaries Do you think bastards like you are a good fit for the Crusade Alliance? Bastards who killed anyone, regardless of gender or age, if it was just money. You’re trying to run the washing machine now?!”
Rockkid looked at Wolf gently.
The reason why Rockkid didn’t like Wolf as the general manager is simple. He didn’t fit in with the Shadow Mercenaries. To be precise, the punishment he had committed was light.
-“I sold a comrade to the enemy.”
The story Wolf told himself was nothing but self-defense to Rock Kid. Therefore, Rockkid always doubted Wolf’s authenticity. One day, I even asked a direct question.
-“Wolf, are you a hypocrite?”
The Wolf of the past did not answer.
“Yes, I was a hypocrite.”
But now Wolf was different.
Wolf’s fingers move.
To the adventurer who pinpointed the contradictions of the hypocrite shadow mercenaries.
clap.
Pull the trigger of the crossbow.
“Not anymore.”
hooked
Wolf looked at the adventurer who died instantly.
With this, the shadow mercenaries crossed a river they could never return to.
Shouldn’t that be the case?
“One hundred and fifty five.”
“How many adventurers among them?”
“About thirty? Anyway, I killed them all, Captain.”
A taboo in the world of adventurers.
Regardless of the reason, killing adventurers is strictly forbidden.
They killed 30 adventurers who were treated as such.
in just ten minutes.
It was an atrocity that even the benevolent commander-in-chief could not bear to forgive.
‘Maybe we betrayed his expectations.’
But it is unavoidable.
The shadow mercenaries are evil.
just by hooking up.
Your reputation is full of blemishes.
He was the worst villain of the Arcana Continent.
So, Wolf follows the method of the Shadow Mercenaries.
I was thinking of paying off the favor I received from Ho-yeol.
“We are wicked.”
no matter when
“Nevertheless, we must become even more vicious perpetrators.”
I can die happily in your hands.
Because in the thick darkness, the light shines more firmly.
At Wolf’s words, Lockkid’s hand, which was holding the axe, relaxed.
Good eyes, Wolf.
Now the shadow mercenaries have become trash.
Still, there were things I couldn’t admit.
Rockkid shrugged.
“Anyway, I think I’m better looking than you.”
*
Now it’s time to struggle again.
Thanks to Gamigin’s trophies…
No, it’s not that name anymore.
‘Thanks to that bastard’s reign…!’
It was me who came face-to-face with the high-ranking demon king.
Thanks to that, I realized that their threat is not normal.
“They were undeservedly busy with the subject of their inferior race.”
To think that the Demonic Beast would reach directly from the Demon Realm to reality through the rift.
Of course, I cannot control all cracks by myself.
I ran into a real problem.
“It must be a burden to deal with the Heavenly Demon.”
…shit.
The cubic court of Mr. Granfell, who is still shameless.
Desperately turning away, I shook my head contemptuously.
‘There are not many bodies, and it is physically impossible.’
Then again, there was only one way.
It’s just me jumping into the tiger’s den demon realm.
If I jump into the demon realm
Even the top demon lords won’t be able to use their mental bodies in a good way.
‘Because you won’t be able to overlook me aiming for the main body.’
The question is whether I have the confidence to jump into the realm of demons
.
did you just say
He said that while facing the high-ranking demon king, he felt that ridiculous strength again. Even if it was just the Mystic Eye that turned reality into a mess, I was close to a harmony that I couldn’t even dream of.
‘I have no choice but to try.’
In a word, it requires dramatic growth.
It was also unique.
I looked at the emerging message.
[Understanding of Darkness (Curse): Significantly increases appropriate magic affinity. However, he must face the past, which is the source of suitable magical power. – Currently suitable magic affinity: 30%]
Entering the understanding of darkness.
[Heaven, Heaven, and Earth alone (30%): A rare genius who blasphemes even the unsalted goddess. Demonstrate the talent of Grand Fel Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.]
To raise the skill level of the Heaven and Earth, the child alone.
Especially this time, there was also a class quest related to the past of Grandfel. Perhaps, during this entry, we may learn about the past of Grandfell, which is entangled in the Akkshan Civil War.
But there was a major stumbling block.
You never know how long you will spend in [Understanding the Darkness]. So I rolled my hair. It showed Lee Ho-yeol’s way of thinking, who used up everything he didn’t have when he was struggling desperately.
Thanks, I found an option.
[Society of space-time: entering the social space of consciousness space-time.]
Utilizing the fact that time did not pass in the social space of space-time.
I was thinking of activating Dark Understanding at the social hall.
“It’s always reluctant.”
In the social world, Grand Fel is like an oasis in the desert.
stick to that setting.
I took heavy steps and trimmed my clothes.

.
again.
…The sound of shoes that seem to have grown even more since they learned how to rule the Heavenly Demon. But fortunately, there was nothing to focus on me. My eyes sank coldly.
The social space of space and time.
“…!”
Because there was something that shouldn’t have been there.
