The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 49

Episode 49. However, hiding is useless. (3)

Quickly—

Baek Yi-seol, no, it was only natural that the pride of the succubus would be cracked.

Because I felt like my self-esteem was dropping because of an unexpected answer.

Besides, the surroundings are buzzing.

Even the insignificant people who pique your nerves.

“Wow. Do you think Baek Yi-seol would be very embarrassing?”

“You want me to make a face? I’ll take a close-up when turning around.”

“By the way, that knight is also beautiful. Shall I ask your name later, brothers?”

The succubus gnashed his teeth.

‘…You dare?’

Me as a mere human subject?

Lee Ho-yeol and what?

The desire to tear it to shreds was like a chimney.

But the succubus was clever.

He hid the fact that he was a demon until now.

Can’t you just hide one expression?

“there’s nothing we can do. I will come back soon.”

The succubus smiled at Yeshica and turned around.

‘It’s only today that I’m proud.’

Yes, the more dramatic the reversal, the bigger the law.

Even if the time wasn’t right today.

Once you face yourself.

It would only be a matter of time before Lee Ho-yeol falls in love.

‘Enjoy anything while you can.’

Whether it’s Lee Ho-yeol, Yusra Kingdom, or that cheeky female knight.

In the end, you will kneel in front of my intrigue.

But that was only an illusion of the succubus.

Just one doorbell.

Because revenge had just begun.

.

.

.

Politics, society, sports, entertainment….

Newspapers cover different topics for each section.

Of course, the subjects covered will also be different.

However, there was a person who decorated the first page at the same time.

It was Baek Yi-seol, the master of the Shinhwa Guild.

After conceding a hundred times, I was able to understand the political and social aspects.

──────

Rep. Park Sam-bong “It’s a pity that the negotiations weren’t smooth… Shinhwa’s growth can be seen as Korea’s growth.”

[Exclusive] An official from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance said, “The trickle down effect is a proven theory… The Korean economy can only survive if Shinhwa Guild survives.”

──────

From the time when I was a conglomerate group to now when I reached out to the guild.

Because Shinhwa was a regular customer in the political and social aspects.

But I never thought that even the entertainment side would decorate the first page.

──────

[Exclusive] Baek Yi-seol pushed and defeated? Will the femme fatale collapse?

──────

With a humiliating title picture too!

There was no confident Baek Yi-seol in the article’s photo.

The back view of Baek Yi-seol being beaten at the doorstep in front of the Golden Palace.

Even the short quadrupeds attached below it.

──────

▲The moment when the seventh gate is closed.

It’s a completely different look from the photo line.

──────

Pass the three highs and lows lightly.

It was running towards the 10th grade.

It was his back that made him feel sorry for him…

Unfortunately, there was no sign of sympathy toward Baek Yi-seol.

──────

–

Hahahahaha

I knew this

would

happen

.

Baek Yi-seol’s pupils were dyed black.

“And what you’re building must also be karma.”

…Lee Ho-yeol!

The humiliation of a demon who has been humiliated by humans many times.

Likewise, the face of a crumpled succubus.

The man who destroyed his pride by double.

When I recalled this shame, the demonic figure that I had barely hidden was about to come out as it is now. But I couldn’t stand it forever.

“Today is the time to pay for that karma.”

As much as it became strong enough to surpass a higher level demon.

Because the nature of the boiling demon has also thickened.

The succubus managed to contain the malice that spilled out.

And headed to the Golden Palace.

Are you rejected today?

It didn’t matter.

Today, Lee Ho-yeol was planning to wait until he showed up.

You won’t have to worry about waiting.

You can have a snowball fight with a cheeky female knight.

…that’s what I promised.

“I will guide you.”

I didn’t even expect it.

As you can see, I entered the Golden Palace.

The corner of the succubus’s mouth went up.

‘Even though I don’t know why, they’re urging the order.’

indeed.

Lee Ho-yeol was also just a foolish human being.

As I thought about taking his spirit, the instrument that I managed to keep under control began to leak out.

But there is no need to suppress it any longer. It’s because I’ve come to the end anyway.

“You can go in.”

Nodding—

Yesika bowed her head and stepped back.

The succubus immediately knocked on the door.

‘…I can’t stand it!’

A sudden surge of thirst.

He opened the door before he could hear Lee Ho-yeol’s answer.

And he faced Lee Ho-yeol.

Even an inch of disheveled posture is upright.

Ho-yeol is sitting at his desk.

He said it without even looking at it.

“For you to open the door before you even hear an answer.”

A cold voice followed.

“I can’t find any formalities.”

…Wait a minute. Something’s wrong.

Only then did the succubus notice something unusual.

However, Lee Ho-yeol’s eyes met.

Creepy—

from head to toe.

A feeling of being stiff.

It was the first time in my life that I felt ‘fear’.

“…!”

An arrogant gaze that makes you feel humiliated.

Lee Ho-yeol was looking down at himself.

obviously.

In an instant, his hair went white.

Could it be that he noticed that it was a demon and brought me here…?

…No, that can’t be!

You have to run before you find out.

Let’s buy time with fascination.

…Now wait! Why don’t you fall in love?

A succubus frozen in place.

The voice of the nemesis came to the devil’s ears.

“It’s like an insignificant devil.”

.

.

.

I wondered.

It was the same with Nam Tae-min.

“In fact, it was too much even for us who recently joined. No matter how much they lobby, they are not noblemen who will openly push them to the point of being insulted. Those serpentine nobles?”

Because that’s where the political arena is.

Depending on the interests, it is academic, regional, and blood related.

It means that it is the neighborhood that cuts off and divides.

“I definitely think there is something… but we couldn’t figure it out. I feel ashamed of myself for making Ho-yeol a hassle. really.”

Nam Tae-min politely handed over an apology.

But now that I’ve come, it’s obvious that I can’t figure it out.

Baek Yi-seol was possessed by the devil.

who would have imagined

‘Even I didn’t know.’

if you knew

I wouldn’t have bothered to send it back several times.

The devil breathes and walks around fine?

Beyond childish revenge, as long as the setting of Granfel exists.

Because I couldn’t just watch it.

[The skill ‘Relationship with the Natural Enemy’ is activated.]

If it wasn’t for that message.

It is said that I would not have known even in my dreams.

The natural enemy relationship was activated and then turned off.

Because it was really fleeting.

‘I guess he didn’t completely hide his presence.’

So naturally it started to make sense.

The relationship between the Shinhwa Guild and the politicians was incomprehensible.

‘What if it’s nothing else but the status ailments of demons?’

It’s about dealing with non-player civilians.

It’ll be easier than eating cold porridge.

That was the reason I listened to Baek Yi-seol.

Ttog-tto-tto-gak—

the sound of shoes getting louder and louder.

At the same time, a message that comes to mind again and again.

[The skill ‘Natural Relations’ is activated.]

Baek Yi-seol is a demon.

The moment when speculation becomes certain.

The door opened at the same time as the knock sounded

.

“You opened the door before you even got an answer. There is no formality to be found.”

I opened my mouth holding a feather pen.

What I wrote down was the basic theory of black magic.

After putting a period in the sentence, he lifted his head.

Indeed, Baek Yi-seol’s pupils, which were stained black, were visible.

“It’s like an insignificant devil.”

while sitting upright at the desk.

He said that while still holding the feather pen in his hand.

Really, there was no such thing as a bravado-filled attitude…

not too long ago.

But at least not now.

The moment our eyes met.

It was rather white snow that was trembling.

celestial relationship.

───────

Natural Enemy Relations: Fighting power increases dramatically when fighting demons.

───────

I felt the effect of the skill that I had forgotten for a while.

Above all, I was in a very different state before and after defeating the giant.

Even if it was simply a level, it was like that.

It’s because I leveled up 50 levels at once by defeating the Seven Colossal Greed.

Not only was that not enough, but growth, which could not be explained by level skill numbers, could not be left out.

Of course, the ability to express magic developed by self-studying magic books in the Mage Tower.

It’s only a beginner’s level, but it’s black magic.

Even swordsmanship training.

‘In the end, I brought everything that didn’t exist this time.’

Grumpy or whatever.

All of that growth has become my fighting power…!

It was felt that the developed fighting power had risen dramatically due to the effect of [Natural Enemy Relations]. What he feels is the same as the demon possessing Baek Yi-seol’s body.

“…What are you talking about?”

Now that you’ve come and run away.

To the point where I can’t even tell the difference.

‘It was all for a reason.’

I can understand why you constantly tried to meet me even when you were humiliated.

The purpose was also guessed.

It must have been a plan to put me in a state of abnormality in order to take over Yusra Kingdom.

But the hard work is regrettable.

I am careful not to mix prey with unnecessary words.

Seuk–

The magic that manifests itself right away.

No complicated intervention process was required.

Because there was an irresistible weight class difference between me and him.

The difference in weight class is such that you don’t have to consume demonic items for [Exorcism].

[The skill ‘Exorcism’ is activated.]

What I need.

Basic effect that only damages demons.

No need to invite him to the ceremony.

It was said that a mental battle was not necessary.

“This is ridiculous!!”

That’s because he was already terrified.

“I am no longer a mid-level demon! A high-ranking demon, or maybe even stronger than that. But how! How can a human be tempted by me…!”

It was a look that I couldn’t quite comprehend.

senior demon?

It is a pride that has not wavered even in the face of great evil.

Even if you bring the ‘Demon King’.

There will be no change in this dignified attitude.

But I didn’t answer.

Enough to explain the story to an insignificant devil.

Because Grandfel wasn’t kind.

Thousands floating in the air. No, tens of thousands…

no, an uncountably innumerable silver hour hand.

[Pure silver hair]

[Rating: Magic]

[Restriction: None]

[Effect: None]

[Description: It looks like fur, but its essence is pure silver. Since it is silver, its absolute value is not great, but depending on how well it is used, it may be highly valued.]

This is also my struggle, unable to use anything carelessly.

A monster defeated during sword training.

It was a material item obtained from a silver mane leopard.

I explored the material item and discovered the possibility of using it like a weapon.

realizing that possibility.

A creative expression of 『magic』 that can never be matched by [Skills].

It

was as if each hair had become my weapon.

There was no reason to be sorry for throwing away the material item.

Just like the silver dagger did.

Because it could be restored to its original state with 『Reversal Magic』.

It was said that there was nothing to hesitate about.

Sussuk-!

Tens of thousands of silver hour needles rushed at Baek Yi-seol.

Because it is a material item with no offensive power.

That destructive power would depend solely on my magical power.

I didn’t think that it would end in one blow.

I really thought so.

“Ughhhh!!”

Puffing—

even until Baek Yi-seol collapsed on the floor.

At first, I wanted to do some acting.

…No matter how you say it’s a high-ranking demon?

Even if I say I grew up rapidly.

The magic just now wasn’t even a proper attack magic.

It’s just a simple containment based on alchemy.

So I doubted it too.

I wondered if he even pretended to be dead like a mean devil.

But it wasn’t.

[The level has risen.]

[The level has risen.]

[The level has risen.]…

Because the message that came to mind was telling me.

And that the one who took over Baek Yi-seol’s body was really a high-level demon.

That I had grown to the point of crushing such a high-ranking demon.

I was taken aback.

…Wait. What level is this?
