Episode 509 Shortest week (1)
Seoul.
The capital of the Republic of Korea and the land of Kii.
And the city where Shining’s guild house is located.
“Honestly, I was surprised.”
A horribly broken window.
A hallway that was devastated.
There was no glimpse of Shining’s past status.
And yet.
“Thank you everyone for coming together like this.”
Camilla looked at the gathered guild members.
It’s not as big as in the past when it was classified as a super guild.
There were so many people that it was still hard to see at a glance.
Camilla joked.
“But I guess I lived a good life~?”
“You’re so shameless, my Lady Bugil.”
“I can hear everything there~?”
Similarly, you can hear the laughter made with effort.
Now even the guild master Rox has left.
The Shining’s reputation is falling without wings.
Camilla did not hiss.
“It was like that on NetTube and Today Arcana. Dmitry’s death and the withdrawal of Guild Master Rox. “Thanks to a series of bad news, Shining’s strength has been cut in half.”
Her shoulders shrugged.
“They’re idiots, right?”
…Actually, even half of it is too much.
Rox and Dmitry.
The two have been leading Shining at the forefront.
Take a few steps back from the enemy lines.
Unlike me, who only played with the bow.
but.
‘I’m sorry, both of you. But now is the time when lies are necessary, right?’
Camilla swallowed back her words.
It was not for himself, but for the remaining guild members in Shining.
It was Seoul overlaid with the colors of Arcana Continent electricity.
“Our Shining must have looked like tasty prey. We talk and judge as we please~ Anyway, it’s understandable that guilds we’ve never heard of are attacking our guild house~”
Haven’t you actually experienced it?
Shining has already been through several sieges.
At this point…
Rox Dmitri, shall I be honest with you only?
I speak confidently, but the truth is, I have no confidence.
‘How long can I endure in this condition?’
That doesn’t mean you should blame me.
‘How can I be sane?’
It’s too hard to just brush it off and say it was all a class quest.
Rox: Because I watched you suffer from such pain from so close.
Moreover, I was able to see it clearly thanks to the wide field of view.
‘You can fool the camera, but you can’t fool my eyes.’
That the traces of the devil have not completely disappeared from you.
I guess that was it, Rox?
The reason you left The Shining.
‘…Even for you.’
Even if I can’t become that kind of vessel.
I will have to lead The Shining.
Camilla laughed bitterly inwardly.
‘So don’t blame me if The Shining isn’t what it used to be.’
Because everything is because of you two who left on your own.
“Then let’s get to the point.”
Camilla raised her head and looked at the gathered guild members.
Shining, a toothless tiger, still has this much power left.
Still, it was heartbreaking.
‘I’ll do my best, Camilla.’
I’m just taking over the burden that Rox was carrying.
She catches her breath.
Soon he opened his mouth.
“I’m thinking of applying for the Shining Guild Master position that became vacant due to Rox’s departure. Because the Arcana continental electricity system is being applied to Seoul. “Everyone knows, right?”
I added one word.
“If there are no other applicants, the selection process is skipped.”
At the same time, the vision blinks.
[Current guild master candidate: Camilla]
[There are no additional candidates.]
[If there are no additional applicants, the selection process will be skipped.]
Shining Guild members looked at each other and nodded.
If it was Camilla, I could trust her and follow her.
Even if it’s not as good as Rox.
Because she proved her power in the siege.
“Then it ends like this….”
The time limit is imminent.
It was the moment when the meeting that had started for good reason was about to end.
A new message suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight.
“…?”
[Candidate registration completed.]
Camilla’s eyebrows twitched.
‘…I can’t even guess who it is?’
With such ambition, why would you stay in The Shining?
It didn’t come to mind.
As I said, Shining was just a big toothless tiger.
Camilla guessed reasonably.
‘Could it have been instigated from outside?’
Is this a ploy to create internal strife in Shining and take over Shining more easily? Then I couldn’t back down. It was the moment when Camilla was ready to settle the matter in the Arcana Continent’s way.
One name that came to mind late.
[Current Guild Master Candidate: Camilla Jesse Heinness]
“…Jesse? Jessie?! “Is that really you?!”
The other person was way beyond my imagination.
*
“Did you see the expression on Jesse’s face? “Everyone was shocked!”
Jesse took off his cone hat and placed it on his lap.
I faced Camilla.
At least for this moment.
I didn’t want to listen to Master’s nagging.
I didn’t even want to hide my expression anymore.
Sweet.
Jessie put down her teacup and groaned.
“…Honestly, I thought I was going to die of shame.”
“What, did you think you would say you were embarrassed?”
“I have that level of respect, too, Camilla.”
It was literally arbitrary.
Jesse had withdrawn from Shining and declared that he would return to the position of guild master. He himself had guessed that the guild members’ gaze could not be calmed.
Jesse looked at Camilla.
“So are you okay?”
“me? what?”
“I registered as a candidate.”
“Oh, that? “Am I going to withdraw from my candidacy?”
“…what?”
Camilla smiled slyly and sat down next to Jesse.
Okay.
He crossed his arms and spoke even more slyly.
“My daughter said she would carry my luggage for me when she grew up like this. How could I refuse? Of course, I have to act appropriately.”
“…You’re scary, Camilla.”
“really?”
Camilla said, looking at Jesse’s tired face.
“I’m more scared of your changes, Jesse?”
“….”
“Can you just tell me the reason?”
Jesse responded to Camilla’s question.
“It may not be equal, though.”
“equal…?”
“I want to understand your feelings a little bit.”
Jesse continued.
“That’s why I wanted to carry that burden.”
Camilla, who had been listening quietly, raised the corners of her mouth.
“Are you really all grown up?”
“I’ve grown up since the beginning, Camilla.”
“Our Jesse has completely grown up.”
Camilla was able to shake off even the slightest concern through the conversation she had just had.
If you have this kind of attitude, no matter what happens.
Because we will restore Shining’s status to its original state.
Because unlike me, Jesse has the ability to do that.
‘Isn’t that right, Dmitry? And Rox?’
But Jesse’s declaration is not over yet.
“And I have one more goal.”
“More than Shining Gilma’s seat? What? “You’re so greedy~”
“I plan to work hard at the Magic Tower as well.”
“At the Magic Tower…?”
Jesse had been favored by the Magic Tower since the days when Arcana was just a game. What could Jessie do to vent in such a magic tower? Camilla was thinking.
Jesse said seriously.
“Because as an experienced wizard, I will never be able to understand.”
“…Jesse, are you sure?”
That’s right, it couldn’t have been possible.
“I will become the senior wizard of the Magic Tower.”
It was only after I was recognized as a skilled wizard that I could see the Magic Tower more clearly.
How the Magic Tower operates and what secrets it holds.
To what extent is the truth about the magic tower permitted to skilled wizards?
So Jesse made up his mind.
He said he would occupy the position of senior wizard, one of only 20 in the Magic Tower.
Only then can Ho-yeol, the chief.
Because you will be able to understand it a little more.
of course.
“The reason is that?”
“….”
No matter how much it is Camilla.
I couldn’t reveal everything so honestly.
Jesse hastily added a specific reason.
By folding your fingers.
“There are many benefits to becoming a senior wizard. You can have a private office, and you can also use the Hall, which can be used by skilled wizards of the same school… Oh, and you can also freely access secret places.”
“Secret place? Was there something like that in the Magic Tower?”
“huh.”
Jesse said something that would make ‘someone’ startle.
“For example, Amethyst Hall.”
“Isn’t amethyst the name of a gemstone?”
“Yes, this is the first place I will look when I become a senior wizard.”
lately.
It was Jesse who had encountered Matisse, a senior in black magic, at the Magic Tower.
At that time, Jesse was startled without realizing it.
An expression you don’t normally see.
Matisse at the corner of his mouth.
Because there was a faint smile on his face.
So I gathered courage and asked.
I wonder if something good has happened to you.
Then Matisse answered.
-“There was light, Miss Jessie. “At Amethyst Hall.”
*
…What is it? My ears suddenly feel extremely itchy.
“This is not the time to be swayed by personal emotions.”
I know, I know too?!
Grandfell’s face.
Ignoring the itching in the wind.
Desperately, I focus my mind on the mineral on the desk.
What are you doing staring at minerals out of nowhere?
What can I say, I’m researching a new strange…!
Exactly one week later in real time.
I was the one who had to enter hell through commercialization.
Aren’t you being too hasty?
Arthur.
It was a week of preparation that allowed us to barely suppress the temper of Granfell, who was ready to go to hell at any moment.
even.
-“Shouldn’t we explore hell this time with the commander in chief? So, you need to be fully prepared. Shouldn’t Lorenzk, the romantic explorer, live up to his name? Haha.”
…By citing someone else’s circumstances, not mine, Lee Ho-yeol.
‘You can’t just let it go by like a week.’
This also applies to being fully prepared.
In addition to stopping by Garnet Hall to rent magic tools for battle that can be used in hell, there were also items that had to be picked up by stopping by Cloudy Spirit.
But the most important thing is.
‘In the end, all I have to do is do well, Hoyeol. only me.’
It was my growth.
In order for me to grow even a little.
It was a struggle.
When I surpassed the 1,000 level, it was more efficient to research ways to use the tools I already had rather than going around the most cracks.
So I have minerals on my desk.
Obsidian was placed.
It was an Obsidian with the property of devouring magical power.
‘Obsidian is the magician’s natural enemy.’
But what if even a natural enemy relationship could be overcome with wonder? In some cases, I might be able to manifest a perfect eccentricity with no weaknesses.
Of course, seeing as Obsidian doesn’t move…
‘I don’t think the snowball fight will end easily.’
Nevertheless, Granfell’s talent was still brilliant.
Until Obsidian gets a little excited.
It didn’t take long.
…shake shake.
just.
…sparkle.
There was just an obstacle that caused them to let go of the clue they had barely caught.
Speaking of Granfell’s passion for learning.
Even my two mouths are not enough.
‘What was it that kept me up at night?’
Even when he was parachuting from the Magic Tower, he was so absorbed in reading that he read all the magic books in the Magic Tower. Naturally, I cannot come up with nice words.
“I invested time, which is more precious than gold.”
This is not an exaggeration.
Even the Grand Fell of the world skipped afternoon tea time.
It was Gigi’s progress that he was passionate about…!
Because I couldn’t imagine what the aftermath would be.
I also get a system message that gets on my nerves.
I had no choice but to watch more closely than usual.
[A massive energy stirs from beyond the dimension.]
A normal player would have wondered what that meant.
But I could sense it.
In a way, we were in the same situation.
Is this ‘that’?
What Paimon said.
The presence of the Ten Pillars that cannot be hidden.
‘…For something like this, I might need an incarnation body.’
If I change my position and think about it… It’s as if I witnessed a message at this moment. It was because the high-ranking demon lords might know where I am and what I’m doing.
So who are you?
The guy who moves while showing off his presence like this.
The guy who interrupted my concentration.
Soon a message came to mind and I opened my mouth.
You won’t leave me alone even for a week?
[The noble Paimon, the demon king on the ninth throne.]
[The noble king of the demon world has welcomed a guest.]
[A man with brilliant silver hair like you.]
“Paimon.”
The person in the message must be me.
Thanks to this, I know who the man is with brilliant silver hair like me.
I was able to guess it without difficulty.
Cloudy’s symbol: brilliant silver hair.
‘Because there is only one Cloudy other than Granfell.’
A cool voice flows from between my lips.
“Pride.”
*
Western Demon World.
Pride did not flinch even in Paimon’s domain.
This was because he knew better than anyone else what the other person wanted.
Yes.
“My purpose and yours are the same, noble Paimon.”
Pride murmured.
In that voice.
Not a single lie.
“Grandfell, holding and shaking my poor brother.”
I felt sincerity.
“It is the obliteration of a ray of light.”
