Episode 239. Like a dragon (1)
Senior wizards were waiting in front of the office. Kiko Armin Bellie Yusia Bangrit Tom Matisse Dean Carl Naslow…. even a few seniors with no contact.
‘What is it all of a sudden?’
However, their expressions are all dark.
There was only one bar to pull off.
First of all, isn’t it about the Arcana continent?
that it will be disposed of according to the rules.
I was about to give a presentation at the Crystal Hall a while ago.
then.
‘…is that so?’
That you want to borrow magic tools until you die?!
In particular, it seems that the dark circles have come down to the chin.
Looking at Kiko’s seniority, the speculation becomes more credible.
It is understandable that so many seniors came.
‘Is that because I borrowed a lot of your school’s magic tools?’
Judging from the fact that he has reached the senior curtain level in Ice Magic, it seems to be right. So how do I explain this…. It was the moment when I was rolling my head.
Kiko spoke first.
“I’m sorry, Chief Lee Ho-yeol.”
no i’m sorry
I did more wrong by renting two more magic tools out of ten without tuning them.
Even though there is a corner to be stabbed, he shamelessly opens his mouth.
“You have nothing to apologize for.”
“…no.”
“Because I know you came to see me on a business.”
So, let’s talk slowly and slowly.
up to the top floor anyway.
I was just about to go up the stairs alone…
…and again—
right in front of the top floor of the Magic Tower.
I stopped.
…I was wondering what business it was, but what is it?
‘Am I dying? Why am I dying?!’
The root of the problem was his overly direct speech. So, Kiko and other senior mages completely misunderstood…!
“I can’t let the chief go like this…!”
I’m prepared to die and enter the Arcana Continent!
look back on my journey
Because I think so….
This kind of overreaction is understandable.
First of all, from the release of the connector.
Didn’t it feel like leaving a legacy?
‘The nuance of asking for help even if I’m not there.’
The same goes for borrowing magic tools for decisive battles.
Then take one more bite.
Even specifying the rental period, which is perfect for misunderstanding that it is a treasured entry ticket.
‘In the end, this must have been something he brought himself up.’
Of course, misunderstandings need to be corrected.
Actually, I want to explain the [Last Adventurer] effect in detail. Just as players don’t understand magic, it’s not easy for senior wizards to understand the concept of the system.
In the end, it was best to speak like me.
“It’s not bad to have your concerns.”
“…!”
“But there is nothing to worry about either.”
That’s right, I’ll come back alive and well.
No, strictly speaking, I think I’ll die once…
but anyway, I’ll return to the Mage Tower.
“Don’t you guys know too?”
“what…?”
“That I will always keep my words.”
“…!”
“Believe me. I will come back.”
It even adds a sagittarius that you don’t have to add.
“Even to review your documents.”
Anyway, are you faithful to your work enough to be excessive?
“!!!”
The seniors’ faces brightened a little only then.
Matisse’s eyes are still concerned.
But as I said, don’t worry Matisse.
I don’t know how to explain this, but can I really be relieved?
When I sent those eyes, Matisse lowered his head.
“I will be waiting for Chief Lee’s return.”
I don’t have to lower my head…
I nodded and walked to the top floor of the mage tower.
see.
Even if I misunderstood the rules, I would correct them.
It is finally time to return to the Arcana continent.
.
.
.
thud!
Matisse closed the door to his office.
Then he murmured softly.
I knew.
‘Senior Chief has always kept what he said.’
I had seen it before, so this time I had no doubts.
The Lord will surely return to the Mage Tower.
However, it is a wonder that he must keep his words.
There were words that pierced my heart.
“…Until the moment of death.”
In the conversation on the stairs leading to the top floor, Matisse listened to the conversation between Hoyeol and the other senior mages. Even in that conversation, Ho-yeol did not deny the words until the end.
Matisse said softly.
“Do you always have death by your side?”
Suddenly, the heterogeneous magic power of Ho-yeol comes to mind.
The demon of conflict overflowed.
An immeasurable alien magical power.
‘Is not being afraid of death also related to the Lord’s past…’
As the founder of black magic, it was Matisse who wandered the continent and observed numerous black magic. Naturally, I had no choice but to be more familiar with Arcana’s shadow than others.
It’s a place where death abounds. However, there is a distinct difference between being close to death and not being afraid of death.
Matisse could be sure.
‘No one except Sir.’
In the face of death, I couldn’t stand that much.
So, I couldn’t even guess.
What kind of past do you have?
I could only guess at one thing.
“Cloudy….”
Just that it might have something to do with that unknown word.
*
Another Space No.
“Oops, did you hear the news?”
“News? You have to keep an eye on it.”
“If you say that, you disappear even if you have something to say. It’s like I’m a person who sells my eyes.”
Zero Mountains.
After the day the dragon was captured at the top.
The man did not take his attention from the Zero Mountains.
The reason is simple.
Because the dragon that tore the dimension and disappeared somewhere has not returned.
“So you’re not really curious?”
“What’s the news, are you making a fuss?”
“This is really big news, senior!”
It’s not big news, but try it.
“I’ll put you in this seat for me.”
Only then did the man take his eyes off the mountain range.
Then, I accepted the tablet my junior was holding.
The news of Earth from AAU appeared on the screen.
“…what is this?”
“How about it, am I right?”
“Isn’t today April Fool’s Day?”
“No senior. No matter how great the time difference between Earth and here is. April Fool’s Day went way too far. Rather, now you know why I was so soggy?”
big news.
Rayman Sean pulled the trigger on the World Quest.
As a result, the road to the Arcana continent was opened.
The medium was none other than the connector of the Arcana Continental Electricity.
The man swallowed dry saliva.
“This is not news to be overjoyed.”
It will surely have a big impact.
Damn, even if it wasn’t, the complicated head got more dizzy.
However, the man’s troubles did not last long.
As I just said, it was because of the time difference between Earth and space.
“Senior Seo?”
“…!”
A strange sense of déjà vu from the voice calling oneself.
The man reflexively looked at the instrument panel.
Then, like the time when the dragon tore apart the dimension and glide.
“!!”
I didn’t think the instrument panel would come down from the maximum.
What he meant was simple.
That the dragon has returned to Zero Mountains.
Tadadak!
When the lever is operated, the lens of the Another Space ship moves.
The scenery of the Zero Mountains that immediately comes to mind on the monitor.
But it’s strange.
“…it can’t be like this?”
There was nothing to see except fog.
The black hole was not captured as it was then.
unexpected situation.
The voice of a man in bewilderment.
“Senpai, it’s not on that side, it’s on the upper side…!!”
“Above?”
The man frowned and asked again.
There is no place on Earth higher than the top of the Zero Mountains.
But I wasn’t talking about the top.
Zero Mountains located in the Pacific Ocean.
above that latitude.
To be precise, it is 37 degrees north latitude and 126 degrees east longitude.
Seoul, the capital of Korea.
A black hole was swirling in the sky above Seoul.
“Why is that in Seoul…!!”
A moment of surprise.
The field of view of the lens is urgently switched.
Another Space soon identified the exact location.
The man opened his mouth.
“The magic tower…”
He blurted out his words.
“Could it be that General Manager Lee Ho-yeol…?”
.
.
.
Well done Hoyeol Lee.
no matter how you think
It was a good thing to manifest the portal of Kii on the top floor of the magic tower.
It’s just different from Portal.
Truly tearing apart a dimension couldn’t be more appropriate.
Kwaji support!
As cracks appear.
the air is torn apart
Mana is sucked into the gap in the torn dimension.
I wish it had that power.
Would the two people and the cat, who had been silently watching, startled?
The lord of the pagoda, with his tail erect, speaks to me.
“If Chief Lee changes his mind, just say it anytime.”
Anyway, look at that cat trick.
I’m going to leave the top owner’s seat whenever I have a chance…!
Naturally, it is easily ignored.
“You don’t have to worry about the approval vote from the leadership, Chief Lee.”
It’s really crazy to help Yugweed now.
Still, Marcelo was definitely on my side.
Rather than talking, he was just looking at me with concerned eyes.
‘Actually, there are many things I want to tell you.’
[Quest: Marcelo’s Study]
Marcelo, the chief wizard of the Wizard’s Tower.
In order for him to reach an advanced level of magic.
want to be with you
Excluding the demon hunter class quest, it could be said to be the first large-scale quest I started. Although I had succeeded in numerous quests and was carrying out them.
Marcelo’s research quest was still ongoing.
‘Because the goal is ridiculous.’
I will return to the Arcana Continent by exploring the strangeness!
Even if that grand goal is colorless.
If only Raymon Shen hadn’t come up with an answer called a connector.
It would have reached a level similar to the present one only in the distant future.
Marcelo knows that too.
That’s why I can’t keep my head up.
But don’t overlook the pride of Grand Fell, Marcelo.
‘I don’t know right now.’
Would Grandfel be satisfied with the answer that Raymon Sean fed the prey? You can see why you don’t use the much more convenient interface just now, right?
furthermore.
‘There are at most 10 connectors.’
The only thing that mimics the structure of such a connector is to manifest a portal that allows me to go to and from the continent by myself. So, if we evaluate the portal that has now manifested in the way of Grandfel…
“Isn’t it inefficient from your point of view, Marcelo?”
It must be a very poor structure.
“…!”
Continuing the conversation calmly to the surprised Marcelo.
I wanted to kindly explain the thoughts in my head.
Like I said earlier.
The amount of mana consumed in real time was no joke…!
‘Then, before entering, the mana is exhausted.’
As expected, it was best to convey it in one word.
“After returning, we will continue our research on strangeness.”
Indeed, it was Marcelo.
Even if I say it like shit, I wonder if he understood my inner meaning.
The color immediately returned to his face.
Marcelo bowed his head and said hello.
“I’ll keep those words in mind and wait for you sir.”
Receiving that send-off, I proceeded to the strange portal.
If only the light poured from the portal.
Dense darkness poured from Kii’s portal.
But what is my nickname?
‘I hate to mention it with my own mouth…’
It means ‘infinitely deep darkness’.
To be frightened by this darkness.
My black history is darker and more fearful
….
.
.
I open my eyes in the dark
You’re here.
Arcana Continent.
An unfamiliar message greets me.
[You have entered the Arcana Continent, which is heading toward destruction.]
I will return to the Arcana Continent.
This time, as expected, you kept your words, Grandfel.
In that sense, it reminds me of the time when I stepped on the Arcana continent through the [Map that connects to all things].
in a dying state.
On the verge of oxidation with millions of demons along with the Iron Castle’s magic cannon.
I must have said that.
– “This is just the beginning.”
– “I am a demon hunter.”
-“I am your nemesis and your terror.”
Yes.
Shouldn’t you keep those words intact?
Lee Ho-yeol now.
Don’t think that it’s the same as Lee Ho-yeol back then.
I recited coldly.
“Didn’t I tell you that millions are just the beginning?”
[The skill ‘Natural Relations’ is activated.]
Then a message popped up.
[A ‘horror’ occurs to Shahinpakum, the sage of the underworld.]
[A ‘horror’ occurs to Russell, a cruel trickster.] [A ‘
horror’ occurs to the corpse cleaner Demon Worm.]
[A copyscream of skin armor ‘ ‘Terror’ occurs]….
Tens of millions of messages.
