Episode 104. It stinks
[Name: Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo]
[Title: Last Adventurer]
[Class: Demon Hunter]
[Level: 377]
[Ability]
Strength: 62 / Agility: 66 / Magical Power: 287 / Luck : 6 / Aesthetic: 下
[Possessed points: 44]
Karimzeba was not a monster. Of course, that means no experience points were given.
That’s why I raised a whopping 44 levels just by hunting the demon lords…!
‘…That’s amazing.’
the higher the level.
The arcana system that exponentially increases the experience needed to level up. I also experienced that vicious system in [The Predator’s Swamp].
Raising 44 levels.
But no surprises.
I chanted calmly.
“It is a very natural achievement.”
How are you doing?
Yes, because there were many demons I hunted.
Besides, what do you mean those devils are ordinary devils?
The demon kings were also the subordinates of the higher rank demon kings.
‘The corps commander was obviously mixed in.’
I can’t remember every single one of the many messages that came to my mind.
Besides, at that time I was distracted by the battle between Senios and Karimzeba.
Someone might be startled and ask.
To think that he defeated so many demons with his eyes closed.
Did I have enough room for that?
Of course, there was no room and there were circumstances.
‘That’s also a very messy situation.’
Senios’s freezing magic.
Karimzeba’s fire magic.
The two superlative magics collided and turned into pure magic.
This was only possible because of the two polar opposite attributes.
Thanks to that, I was able to freely use the pure magic that had been flowing around the rift.
‘Like I interfered with Bangrit’s magical power.’
It was the magical power of the two elder mages and demigods.
The amount of magical power was such that even I could use magic like water.
Of course, it wasn’t my magical power, so there was a little loss in experience, but it hurts my conscience to blame it.
Because that’s not enough.
‘A battle on a different level.’
I witnessed ‘something’ in the battle between the two halves, which would have
been too much for Lee Ho-yeol to just stand still and watch .
It was thanks to Grandfell’s talent that he noticed it.
To put it in words.
open eyes.
It’s almost like opening your closed eyes.
It was as if I had opened my eyes and looked at a higher level of magic.
『His innate magical talent was such that he could imitate most magic just by looking at it.』
And thanks to unconsciously mimicking that state.
I made the demon corps commander sick of ‘fear’.
In the end, he was able to kill even Karimzeba with [Giu].
I was sure
That realm really exists.
Because I had experience.
Even when I was ignorant of magic.
called exploratory interference expression.
He immediately grasped the structure of magic.
The experience of witnessing the talent of Grandfel.
It means that you can notice that the realm is real.
of course.
“Unfortunately, the scenery is blurry.”
The state was literally the state of the half body.
Then I subconsciously immersed myself.
It was just imitating the realm.
To put it simply, I was forced to open my eyes, albeit briefly, thanks to Senios and Karimzeba.
‘No matter how much I like to eat raw…’
It must be a prickly conscience to cross the level of a half-body with only level 377.
But I’ve been thinking more of a conscience than that.
“But the oddity is second to none.”
Yeah, looking back, I wasn’t wrong.
Because I defeated Karim Zeba, who reached the peak through [Giggy]. Knowing that fact gave me a goal. This time, though, it was just following the state.
‘If only I could open my eyes on my own and even express [『Strangeness』].
At that time, I might not be able to really mess with myself.
I don’t know when that will be.
But even a thousand miles has a horse every step.
Distributing stat points is also part of that step.
‘Strength and agility are enough class quest rewards.’
As always.
I was going to put all my points into horsepower, but hesitated.
‘…why do you mean 44 points?’
Level up to 44.
There are two deaths.
But I was the one who had the words that I spit out.
While declaring that they do not even believe in non-religious gods.
Being swayed by superstitions is a little too hard to see.
[Magic Power: 331]
As promised.
I invested all my points into magic and shifted my gaze.
I checked the immediate target quest window.
─Find out the forces that participated in the crusade. (In progress)
Encounter the Saint of the Goddess Church. (In progress)
First of all, we need to figure out what kind of person the Saint of the Goddess Church is. Of course, there was no need to get up. I said shamelessly.
“This is also odd.”
Don’t talk grandiosely about surfing the web in the Magic Tower, Granfell.
‘Later, you’d say delivery at very early morning is also a feat.’
I searched for information about the Goddess Church.
‘…what?’
And I regretted it.
They said they should have invested even 1 point in luck.
Because the demon hunter’s sense of smell was telling.
‘There are saints, but there are no saints?!’
There’s an unusual smell coming from the Goddess Bridge!
*
Appearance of Muon, the Holy Land of the Goddess Church.
It was none other than Bohemian’s guild master Guyver who was more excited than anyone else in the update details.
Guyver recalled the humiliation of the previous rift [The Predator’s Swamp].
‘It’s a disgrace I want to forget.’
A [Predator’s Swamp] rift that was created in Europe.
Thanks to this, he was a bohemian who received full support from the EU and entered the rift.
However, the rift attack ultimately ended in failure.
What was your goal to show the greatest performance?
In fact, the moment Ho-yeol Lee appeared.
Because it was as if the water had passed.
‘I have nothing to regret about that.’
However, it was a great failure even if you looked at it with the exception of Lee Ho-yeol.
It was all because of his own misjudgment.
The greed to catch two named monsters at the same time.
I lost so much because of that mistake.
‘Everyone has no face.’
There were times when guild members died during the battle.
I had no choice but to fall for that pattern.
I couldn’t even make an excuse.
Again, it was because of the fever.
Because Ho-yeol acted like he knew everything.
‘I made Gaon Inazuma Berserker unite and respond.’
Because with that judgment, he succeeded in sprouting even the seeds of the world tree. I realized that there is an embarrassing gap between Ho-yeol and myself.
however.
The opportunity to wash away the sadness came to me as well.
The appearance of Muon, the Holy Land of the Goddess Church!
Guyver’s class was a paladin.
A chosen paladin who is also on a class quest.
He wasn’t a paladin of the Goddess Church, but there were things in common between the churches.
‘Moreover, we had a friendly relationship with the Goddess Church.’
Her intimacy with the NPCs of the Goddess Church was quite high.
With that in mind…
Guyver shook his head.
No matter how many times you press the calculator.
‘Rather than attacking cracks, this is a business that remains.’
Chance of receiving the quest.
No, even if you don’t receive the quest, Muon is sure to be in a confused state right now.
Like a thunderbolt in the dry sky. Because it was like teleporting from the Arcana continent to Earth.
‘It means that intimacy can be raised in the process of explaining.’
It’s not that I’ve been swollen in a dream for nothing.
Guyver didn’t hesitate.
As soon as the coordinates of Muon came to mind, I headed straight for Muon.
however.
“…Guyver, is something strange?”
The muon was different from what I had imagined.
It didn’t look like it was raging in flames or falling into the clutches of demons like Frost.
Pure white citadel.
Because Muon was the same as when Arcana was a game.
“Those are the paladins on the walls of Guyver, right?”
okay.
Except for the paladins who were sending hostile glances from above the castle walls.
As expected, reporters gathered on the scene.
They noticed Guyver’s appearance and started asking questions.
“Isn’t it common for paladins to move?”
“…”
Nod—
Guyver nodded wordlessly.
It means that the church moves the paladins.
Because Guyver was the player he knew better than anyone else.
‘But I’m the first Paladin of that size.’
The largest religion on the Arcana continent.
As the sacred place of the Goddess Church.
Muon had a fort comparable to that of most large cities.
There were no cracks on the walls of Muon. Paladins were tightly lined up on top of the castle walls.
“…There seems to be a misunderstanding.”
in the flood of questions.
Guyver struggled to open his mouth.
I could only explain it like that.
‘There’s no reason to be hostile to us, right?’
It was clear that there was some misunderstanding.
But it was not a misunderstanding.
A sign heard from Muon.
Booooooooooooooo!
It was a horn.
Soon, the magnificent sound that drew attention stopped.
A voice was heard.
“We await the day of judgment in Muon, the holy land of the goddess.”
“Everything is arranged by the saintess. We don’t need any help.”
“So, the one who approaches the muon.”
Declaration followed.
“We will punish them in the name of the goddess.”
Declaration of explicit hostility to humanity.
.

──────
[Breaking News] Goddess Church Holy Ground Muon “I don’t want to talk.”
[Breaking News] EU “Deep regret, we want to clear up the misunderstanding.”
[Breaking News] Guyver, No. 1 in the Paladin Ranking, “The serious situation is certain.”
[Breaking News] AAU “Aware of the current situation…”
──────
Muon’s attitude is completely different from what you imagined.
Back when Arcana was a game.
When I recalled the steps of the Goddess Church, the shock was bound to be greater.
“To some extent, I understand. Updated NPCs… So the Arcanas who were summoned in reality were like that at first. It’s because I fell into an unfamiliar world out of nowhere.”
At Seong Hyun-jun’s words, Yoon Soo-gyeom nodded.
“But isn’t that too much? Did you check the satellite image, senior?”
As long as the Muon Goddess Church showed hostility.
AAU couldn’t just sit still and watch.
Naturally, it was AAU that filmed the inside of the muon operating the satellite.
Click—
Click the mouse.
A panoramic view of Muon floating on Seong Hyun-jun’s monitor.
“First of all, the size of the paladins is ridiculous. Tens of thousands of people. up to 100,000 people. You know the gold that goes into nurturing a single knight, right?”
“know. what is that though It’s the largest religious goddess church on the Arcana continent, so let’s move on. The question is, since when?”
“Yes, that is my question too.”
“It would take an enormous amount of time to develop a paladin of that level…. Since when?”
Everything was arranged by the saintess.
They don’t need any help.
as declared.
Muon seemed to lack nothing.
Food, clothing, and shelter were all self-sufficient in Muon.
“It’s just a small country, that’s it.”
“Is the arrangement real?”
“As if they were preparing for a day like this…”
Whoa—
Not enough to let out a spontaneous sigh made my headaches hurt.
More than anything, I wanted to refrain from this reversal.
“It was only yesterday that I was relieved thanks to Lee Ho-yeol…”
From emergency updates to regular updates.
Just fucking in pairs…
but something had to be done.
Tadadak─
Yoon Soo-gyeom tapped on the keyboard and said.
“Looks like some of the players are going to move.”
“…Moving means approaching the muon?”
“Yeah, they look like players who changed jobs from the Goddess Church.”
“Oh, is that a possibility?”
“yes. Still, you’re on your side.”
So, is it possible to talk to some extent?
But I didn’t have high expectations. As I said, the misunderstanding seemed very deep and old. I could tell just by looking at the warnings of the Paladins.
‘Didn’t I say an arrangement…?’
Yoon Soo-gyeom chewed on his words.
“I must have said that I was waiting for ‘Judgment Day’.”
Of course, I didn’t know what Judgment Day was.
The only thing I could know from the Horn Declaration was who the ‘saint’ was.
[Saint Freyza].
Ever since Arcana was just a game.
A figure that was regarded as a symbol of the Goddess Church.
“Where should I look for it?”
To know what Judgment Day and its arrangements are.
I needed to find the settings for her.
Yoon Soo-gyeom accessed the AAU database.
‘Even if it’s simple, the information will remain.’
I searched for information about Saint Freyza.
However, the search results did not come up.
Yoon Soo-gyeom was startled.
“…This makes no sense?”
Fraza has been an NPC since Arcana was just a game.
That is also a significant NPC, a saint of the Goddess Church.
It can’t be.
Yoon Soo-gyeom connected to the company messenger.
‘Even if there are no records left, it will remain in my memory.’
Why did the demon lord Decaravia do it?
At least the person in charge of setting up Fraza knows something.
It seemed that there were employees who had similar thoughts to Yoon Soo-gyeom.
They, too, were already seeking information about Fraza.
Tap,
tap,
tap—
Yoon Soo-gyeom’s fingers stopped moving.
He quietly opened his mouth.
“…doesn’t exist.”
“yes? What do you have? Oh caffeine? Can I buy you a drink?”
“no. Not that.”
He spoke with a bewildered expression.
“There is not a single person who has planned Saint Freyza.”
*
Fraza.
A saintess of the Goddess Church.
It was a famous NPC since the days when Arcana was a game
.
I wonder if it was a typo when I saw that it was written as a saint rather than a saint in the quest window. Rather, he might have doubted the quest.
But i know
After Cataclysm.
It’s only been a few years since the cracks started to appear.
The existence of demons who have already skillfully hidden in society in reality.
Needless to say, the Arcana continent, which is the home of demons.
Even when I was playing Arcana 10 years ago. Didn’t there exist quests to hunt demons possessed by humans?
So I was seriously doubting it.
‘Isn’t Saint Freyza a devil?’
If this is the Arcana Continent.
If I ever got that idea out of my mouth.
I must have been stoned by one of the three.
From the perspective of the Goddess Church, blasphemy would not be such blasphemy.
But unfortunately.
‘I’m already more than half convinced.’
Above all, it was specified in the class quest.
There are saints, but there are no saints.
Besides, this moment.
Muon’s attitude deepens my doubts.
“We are waiting for Judgment Day in Muon…
. ”
no matter how generous
Even if you throw away the prejudice called a quest.
The pride of Grandfel is incomprehensible.
Goddess Church.
Despite having so many followers.
And even though he fostered tens of thousands of such great Paladins. Until the continent is ravaged by demons.
Was he just sucking his finger at Muon? Just waiting for Judgment Day.
It was Saint Freyza who instigated and disapproved of that absurd action.
Noblesse Oblige.
Grandfell’s pride could not tolerate such an act.
I muttered indifferently.
“That irresponsible act is proof that God does not exist.”
In any case, what is needed is to find out the truth.
It was necessary to track the Goddess Church’s activities on the Arcana continent.
Other players may not know, but it’s not difficult for me.
Did you say the arrangement of the saintess?
Yes, because I also had an arrangement.
I have an informant planted on the Arcana continent.
The forest spirit nymph.
I’ll have to head to the rift to summon the nymph.
Come to think of it, there was a crack created by this update.
I checked the update history.
