Episode 289. Neither huge nor great (1)
Cloudy.
The moment he heard that word, Wolf remembered a rumor floating around in the world of adventurers. ‘Cloudy’ was the word that demons who appeared in reality here cried out.
It is natural that this world is in doubt.
Whether it’s an interview, a smartphone, or the internet.
They themselves don’t know what the adventurers are talking about.
The existence of the Arcana continent by adventurers.
What do you know about the talk of the devil?
-“Have you heard of it, vice-captain?”
But the problem is the Shadow Mercenaries.
Even they didn’t know about Cloudy.
Not a few common demons.
It was a word uttered by tens of thousands of demon kings.
Even the Shadow Mercenaries don’t know a word with that much influence?
‘I did think it was strange.’
Cloudy.
deliberately hide it.
Because I thought it was impossible without denying it.
But it’s finally starting to make sense.
Seven Deadly Sins Jealousy.
The giant evil faces the commander-in-chief and opens his mouth.
then it says clearly
“Your guy is… Cloudy.”
Possibilities that pass by suddenly.
“…!”
Wolf felt his heart sink.
no it won’t be
I thought and looked at Hoyeol.
Because I thought you would deny it.
however.
“Don’t you dare speak that name.”
What Ho-yeol said was an answer that was no different from an affirmation.
“Really…”
Wolf bit his lip.
‘…you know the leader? I tried not to forgive.’
kitsch.
I didn’t want to listen to her even if there was something I couldn’t say. No reason can be an excuse for abandoning the post of general manager and disappearing.
But damn
The story starts to fit in your head.
A gigantic request entrusted to the Shadow Mercenaries.
The fact that the request was successful.
After realizing it, Kichi disappeared after declaring that he would take full responsibility. And even a giant stare at the commander-in-chief called Cloudy as if he couldn’t believe it.
A series of events were telling.
“Even if it were me, I would have run away, Captain.”
Colossus’ request.
That’s Cloudy.
It was a request directly related to the commander-in-chief.
Wolf tried to raise his lowered head.
‘…How far does the commander-in-chief know?’
I didn’t have to listen to the answer to the question.
“If you spit it out, take responsibility for it.”
Sussu—
a vast aura emanating from the body of Ho-yeol.
It wasn’t a common spell.
Black and dark enough magic to swallow everything.
“Whoa.”
Just looking at it makes me out of breath.
To the point where I felt as if the feelings of the commander-in-chief were conveyed.
Thanks to you, I was able to figure it out.
‘No, there’s no way he wouldn’t know what I noticed.’
Most of all, because the commander-in-chief was the party.
Wolf suddenly looked at the members.
They were equally astonished.
“Then the commander-in-chief is related to Akkshan?”
“…Something doesn’t suit me.”
“Rather than that, what is that magic, old man?”
“…black magic. It is inexplicably black magic.”
“Black magic?”
Even if it’s not necessarily Cloudy.
Because the battlefield is overflowing with surprising elements.
Wolf laughed bitterly.
‘Is this the weight of the leader, kitsch?’
Depending on where you are, your field of view will be different.
In that sense, Wolf had no choice but to look at Ho-yeol again.
A position as high as the weight you carry.
A view from a high place.
and.
‘Why have mercy on us again…?’
Even a bowl whose limits cannot be counted.
But Wolfe’s sigh did not last long.
Eventually, the seven deadly jealousy went mad.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.”
Because I dared to spit it out.
“In the end, you too were just a pitiful human being.”
*
Coward.
Compared to themselves, humans are weak.
Compared to those who live for eternity, that life is but a day.
Most of them waste even such a short life meaninglessly.
“I will praise you.”
Compared to that, Akkshan.
Demon hunters were good.
Because they did not pursue senseless original sin.
Quaddudeuk—
the changing appearance of jealousy.
The body that was shattered by Meteor Strike falls out like a chrysalis. Within it, a new body sprouted like a sprout.
“and.”
The gaze of such jealousy moves.
From Demon Hunters to Hoyeol.
Fluttering silver hair.
“I really admired Cloudy.”
It wasn’t sarcastic.
Jealousy was more sincere at this moment.
speak seriously
“To be able to look down on the ugliest Arcana continent and humans. I sincerely respect you. You are better than a god or goddess that doesn’t exist.”
But I couldn’t suppress the laughter that erupted.
“But what was the end of such Cloudy? The continent of Arcana that I loved so much! Insignificant humans! In the end, I put a dagger at you great people.”
Jealousy looked at Hoyeol.
It’s still worth listening to.
But how long can you stay upright?
The cruelty of the Claudia family hadn’t even begun yet.
Jealousy thought.
‘I truly respect you.’
That’s why you didn’t even come up with a strategy yourself.
Akshan.
and cloudy.
It was difficult with just one.
The guy had two backgrounds on his back.
But Akkshan and Cloudy.
The background is all just a specter of the past.
‘You have no choice but to be shaken.’
Jealousy had faith.
House Cloudy and Akkshan.
To defeat the two factions.
They knew of their past when they reached out to lowly people.
Because he endured the humiliation of holding hands with humans.
Because I believed that such humiliation was not in vain.
I could sympathize with you wholeheartedly.
“Yes, now that I know everything.”
I have been able to transcend myself.
“I can no longer feel jealous of you.”
ecdysis.
A new form that even he did not know.
The word “transcended limits” couldn’t be more appropriate.
Literally jealous.
transcend one’s original sin.
Didn’t he spread his brilliant wings?
wide open!
Not the wings of a skinny bat.
Wings made of black, rich feathers.
It was a look that would bring despair to humans just by looking at it.
“?”
But it was a strange thing.
For some reason, poor Cloudy’s survivor.
I didn’t even feel the slightest bit of agitation.
“Your clan’s screams still ring in my ears.”
Even if you blaspheme that family name.
“The end of Akkshan was insignificant.”
Even if you insult Akshan.
His upright posture did not break in the slightest.
He was just looking at himself contemplating.
.
.
.
…What is that talking about?
‘I know very well that Akkshan was shot in the head.’
Thanks to the demons’ tricks, Akshan is isolated ahead of the crusade.
I don’t know the specific details, though.
Because it was destroyed without a trace.
however.
‘The Cloudy family was also abandoned by the continent?’
Cloudy family setting.
It is not known where and how far it came to fruition.
That’s right, I finally found the ruins of Cloudy’s mansion.
Because it was in the process of recovery.
To put it in an analogy, it is only now that we have taken the first step.
But you can guess.
‘Eunaxus.’
Because Yunaxus and other dragons were following me because they couldn’t repay the debt they owed to Cloudy. Maybe the setting of the Cloudy family is more bloated than I remember.
But don’t be mistaken, devil.
“What makes you so happy?”
I, Lee Ho-yeol, am not mistaken.
The cruelty of the Cloudy family?
Yeah, even that would be just a part of the settings I would have written down in those days. Acknowledging and taking responsibility for the Cloudy family does not mean that we will be buried in its dark history.
Who have you been talking about?
Now that I’m back, I’m going to have a second grader again.
Even though I’m old enough.
He said he ate too much even if he ate society’s water.
Dark history is not about immersing yourself in it, but about overcoming it.
Yes.
In the end, I just have to make sure.
No matter how many times he mentions the brutality of the Cloudy family. If those were the words that came out of the devil’s mouth, Grandfel’s attitude would be the same.
I spoke to Jealousy.
“Nothing has changed.”
But if it’s such a complicated past.
It’s a law that has to be used at the same time.
What covered the whole area at this moment was not the hidden peace of jealousy.
suitable horsepower.
As you said, it is an appropriate magic power drawn from Cloudy’s past, which deserves to be called a cruelty. The black magic [Black Crown] manifested with such suitable magical power is enough to dominate beyond stealing the five senses.
“You’re stuck in an illusion that’s only an illusion.”
Yes.
From my point of view, he hadn’t changed.
Hit by Meteor Strike.
Jealousy was wriggling with difficulty in a broken body.
I
wonder if he wants to run away from the [natural enemy relationship] that even a gigantic monster can’t overcome. He was making an arrogant noise. He was talking well on such a subject.
“Everyone on the continent turned their backs on you.”
yes what
If you add the end of Akkshan to the brutal history of the Cloudy family…
Maybe that’s not an exaggeration.
“Don’t you know better than anyone? The human race does not change. that it is of no use to anyone. How can you deny the ‘true truth’?”
real truth.
That’s a word I haven’t heard in a long time.
The fire dragon Karimzeba, who was an elder sorcerer and a devil worshiper.
Those were the last words he uttered, maybe?
I don’t know what that meant then or now.
“Even now it is not too late. join us.”
no i said it wrong
it’s not unknown
I don’t even want to know
So, all the words the devil spits out are bullshit, right?
There is no concrete evidence to provide.
Because it was like that just now.
“Do you really think ‘everyone’ has abandoned me?”
“…What are you talking about?”
A hint of incomprehension is clearly felt in the voice of jealousy.
Then change the subject.
I definitely knew it would go that way.
“Isn’t that the case with the shadow mercenaries as well?”
Even if I’m like this, I’m quick to notice again.
If I didn’t notice, there should have been a situation where I would sink into the nether while making fun of it. So I guessed roughly. It was a request from the great evil that Kichi said.
‘It’s related to Cloudy’s extinction.’
I guess that’s what he was trying to say.
It’s what I want to stir up.
But it’s more of a misjudgment.
“Neither great nor great, you inferior kind.”
you still don’t understand?
“Unlike demons, humans can change.”
“…what?”
“Even if I made the wrong choice.”
“What nonsense…!!”
“If you realize it, you can correct it.”
Is the living witness here?
Adolescence that almost crooked.
Lee Ho-yeol, who overcame the dark history correctly.
Of course, I am not generalizing one case.
Sweetheart-!
Suddenly, the sound of the wind blowing in my ears.
There is no need to confirm the identity of the sound.
Nine weapons that shine by reflecting the light of dawn.
[You have acquired command over the Shadow Mercenary Corps.]
[Eight members under the command of Shadow Mercenary Commander Wolf Saccharin]
[Current status: Fighting to the death]
Phuc!
Wolf, who stuck a crossbow bolt into Jealousy’s neck, said.
“I will take responsibility for my mistakes.”
[The Seven Deadly Sins of Jealousy gets a ‘critical blow’.]
[The Seven Deadly Sins of Jealousy gets a ‘bleed’]
[The Seven Deadly Sins of Jealousy gets a ‘stun’]
… .
“Didn’t you tell me?”
“… uh?”
“Don’t underestimate human pride.”
“…!!!”
[The Seven Deadly Sins cause ‘fear’ to envy.]
