Episode 109. No regrets,
AAU.
Branch meetings conducted by video.
However, no matter how much we put our heads together, we couldn’t get the hang of it.
The starting point was, of course, the heat.
“I am confused starting with player Lee Ho-yeol. Confused.”
Urgent update.
Immediately after that, 11 [cracks in the broken dimension] appeared simultaneously. How could Hoyeol be able to clear the cracks in such a short time?
It was a daunting task just to follow the path.
“How is the muon situation still in place?”
the very next day.
A bomb exploded in a regular update.
The Arcana people who show a hostile attitude towards humanity.
AAU couldn’t help but be nervous.
“When observed from the outside, there seems to be no major change. I don’t think it would have decreased if the hostility towards humanity had increased within Muon. Just seeing the drones floating overhead will make you sick.”
The Holy Land of the Goddess Church, Muon.
As much as Muon showed hostility, it is only natural that the world is wary of Muon. But the biggest thing was something else. It was precisely the existence of the Saint Fraiza of the Goddess Church.
“Freza. What is the identity of that NPC…”
Fraza, who has existed since Arcana was a game.
So, it was just a question.
If it was a saintess of the Goddess Church, she was definitely an NPC with a significant weight.
It wouldn’t be an NPC randomly picked by artificial intelligence like the villagers.
“In the end, the answer is probably one of two things.”
“Raymon Sean. If he’s not involved…”
“It’s a really unknown entity that even we don’t know about. Just like the giants that appeared in Yusra Kingdom.”
“No matter what, it doesn’t change the fact that the head is broken. really.”
The world was changing rapidly.
“Jesse Heinness leaving The Shining. And because of Unification’s aggressive rift attack, the guild rankings eventually changed. For the first time since the tally, Unification has risen to the top of the guild rankings.”
The order of power fluctuated accordingly.
“Gaon Inazuma Berserker has not been officially announced. In fact, it would be correct to say that they have built a huge coalition. Its forces are expected to be on par with Unification and Shining.”
In many ways, concerns were bound to follow.
“Even if it is said that it is a great alliance, it must be the unification of the world…”
It was like that.
Because China was holding out after the unification of the world.
There is no exchange with AAU. It is the only language in China that has established its own route in the world.
Now that the influence of the unification of the world has become stronger. The Chinese variable had no choice but to come closer.
“Maybe we’ve reached the limit.”
After Cataclysm.
AAU tried to respond to Arcana’s erosion by predicting numerous variables.
However, the latest update trend is truly unexpected. They had no choice but to acknowledge their limitations.
I wish I could unravel one of the tangled threads.
Silence—
in that heavy atmosphere, someone opened their mouth.
“…But it’s unfortunate. this.”
“What are you talking about?”
“How come all the tangled threads aren’t pointing to one side?”
“…yes?”
“The [crack in the broken dimension] created by the emergency update. The last act Jesse Heinness showed before leaving the Shining Guild. Even in the huge guild alliance called Gaon Inazuma Berserker. Everything is related to player Lee Ho-yeol, right?”
“…!”
“Maybe…. Lee Ho-yeol is a muon that we can’t even get a sense of. And maybe you know something about Fraza? what do you think?”
There was a person who showed a particularly strong reaction to that question.
“…Wait a minute, what are those eyes all about?”
It was Park Min-jae, the head of the AAU Korea branch.
He shook his head and pleaded.
“I wonder if you have any expectations from me. Stop thinking like that. Everyone says that there is no contact with player Lee Ho-yeol, as others say. Didn’t you see the interview? The persistent reporter and nettuber are also Lee Ho-yeol players. How dare I…!”
*
Fluctuating guild rankings.
The 4th place in the guild rankings, Bohemian’s guild master.
Guyver shuddered.
“Even if it’s twisted, damn it…”
I thought I would be able to achieve a great turn in Muon.
Muon, who thought it was a jackpot, was in a situation where he couldn’t even scratch a lottery ticket, let alone win.
Yesterday and today, they only lost time.
Unification of the world clears the new rift.
Gearco has risen to the top of the guild rankings.
“shit.”
Of course, it wasn’t just Tongha who cleared the new rift.
Because Lee Ho-yeol was there.
According to player testimonies.
The time when Unification of the World cleared [Mantra Mine – Sector 2] and Lee Ho-yeol cleared [Mantra Mine – Sector 1] were similar.
-No, Lee Ho-
yeol was a little faster. I saw it.
– You weren’t alone? There was a person wearing a robe next to him
– What is a robe, if not a wizard??? Are you a mage tower wizard??
-No hahaha Please refrain from your brain ;; Facts are enough
– ㅇ No matter how senior Lee Ho-yeol is, it’s a bit overkill for the Mage Tower wizard to move freely;; Lee Ho-yeol , considering that the Mage Tower has been silent for a while
.
It wasn’t even a day or two that there were a lot of speculations about where he appeared.
Guyver was neither jealous nor angry.
Just one thing.
‘It’s all about Gaon Inazuma and Berserker!’
3rd place in the guild ranking Gaon.
5th Inazuma.
Right now, the 4th place is already in jeopardy.
The two rivals above and below allied with each other.
And even Berserker from the same EU…!
‘Not only the guild rankings, but also the modifier of being the strongest in the EU.’
It shouldn’t be like this.
The impatient Guyver couldn’t stay still.
I wanted to run to the new rift right away, but… As I said, [Mantra Mine], the two rifts have already been cleared by Hoyeol and Unification.
There were also outstanding competitors in the remaining cracks.
What was left of Guyver?
‘A decision is needed.’
As expected, there was only Muon.
knowing that fact.
It means that the base camp that is installed near the crack is installed in front of the muon. Muon’s gate is still firmly closed. Guyver shook his head.
‘No matter how much, I can’t ignore the rules.’
No matter how sternly the warning was given.
They were the Paladins of Muon who served the Goddess.
The religion they serve is different, but Guyver is also a paladin.
He was aware of the strict rules of the Paladin.
“A paladin can’t attack civilians first.”
“So you want to approach the gearco muon?”
“Because nothing will change even if I keep watching.”
Drop your weapon and approach the muon.
I’m going to have a conversation with them.
Guyver didn’t hesitate.
My heart was pounding with tension as I moved toward Muon .
It was a heartbeat mixed with a little anticipation. Because Muon is currently receiving a lot of attention.
If the story goes well.
Muon changes hostile attitude.
What if you open the gates?
Bohemians, of course, will also soar.
But nothing like that happened.
“!”
Because the common sense of the paladin Guyver has collapsed.
Guyver was also one of the ranker players.
His senses developed in an instant sent a warning.
A presence felt from the top of the castle wall.
Snuggle Geek—!
That’s the sound of a bowstring being pulled.
Shush!
Shu Shu Shuk!
It wasn’t enough to put down the weapon, so both hands were raised.
Guyver approaching Muon.
A rain of arrows rained down on Guyver, who was defenseless.
It wasn’t a threat.
It was truly a preemptive strike aimed at his life.
Crying!
“Those crazy bastards are really…!!”
Arrows pierced Guyver’s body everywhere.
If it hadn’t been for the Bohemian’s guild members to step out and shoot the arrows.
He wouldn’t be able to breathe like he does now.
Realizing that fact, Guyver barely opened his mouth.
“…Muon and Goddess aren’t the ones I used to know.”
And all of this happened on the airwaves.
It was the EU that was furious more than anyone else.
They immediately made an official statement.
-We will never stand idly by in Muon’s hostile actions.
That was tantamount to a declaration of war against Muon.
Responses from other countries were also not significantly different.
No, in the end, there was a story that it was going to explode.
“I wonder if it was the time when there were only a few NPCs… Every time a local city-level update was made, I was concerned. It was a mistake to judge that the Arcana people would be friendly to us humans in the first place.”
I don’t know if it was just a game.
Why are they friendly to mankind?
To be honest, it was hard to pick even one.
“Perhaps the cases of Yusra Kingdom and Frost were exceptional.”
Although the breaking news ended and the regular program began.
Screenshots of shocking material played over and over again.
The hosts with sad faces were still there.
Besides, it seemed that he didn’t care at all about such a reaction.
Even the tightly closed gates of Muon.
“If the muon continues to show hostile behavior, it is too big a variable for humanity. In the worst case, you might really have to blow up the whole muon…”
What to do with the muon?
There seemed to be no answer right now.
Yes, until a man showed up in Muon.
“…Is that crazy? Who is that!”
The camera that was illuminating the foreground of Muon hurriedly enlarged the screen.
A man who fearlessly approaches Muon.
First of all…
Lee Ho-yeol wasn’t. In fact, if Lee Ho-yeol had appeared, the smartphone would have vibrated non-stop from earlier.
The head office must have issued an order not to miss even the slightest movement of Lee Ho-yeol.
“No matter how many nettubers cross the line, they go that far…?”
Some people thought he was just a nettuber who was crazy about attention.
But it was strange.
To be called a nettuber.
There was not a single bit of filming equipment that stood out to the man.
Besides, the outfit was unusual.
old-fashioned uniforms.
If you look at it as something closer to fantasy than reality.
The player seemed certain.
“Does anyone come to mind?”
“You think you look so unique when you struggle like that?”
“…well?”
He wasn’t wrong.
extraordinarily large stature.
arms and legs outstretched.
To the skinny body.
Once you see it, it is not easily forgotten.
“…was there a player like that?”
None of the players came to mind.
However, unlike the reporters who were confused. Likewise, there were people at the Bohemian Guild Base Camp who watched the scene and recognized the man’s identity.
Yes, they were wizards.
“What is it? why?”
To be precise, wizards with the skills to attend regular conferences.
“Did Chief Marcelo appear in Muon?!”
*
The news of Muon has been shaking the world for several days.
It was natural for the Mage Tower to hear the news.
Marcelo let out a small laugh.
“kyung. Finally my turn has come.”
From research on [『Giggy』].
Even at the disposal of devil worshipers.
In the meantime, Ho-yeol owed only debts.
“I keep in mind that there is a give and take in everything.”
I was just receiving
Now Ho-yeol has a chance to repay that debt.
however.
“I also know that it is not something I should do on my own.”
It was not a simple problem since the muon was entangled.
Yes, Goddess Cult and Akshan.
And to the magic tower.
Because there was a ‘holy war’ between them. Determined, Marcelo did not hesitate. I went straight to the heat. And everything was revealed.
Click—
Of course, Ho-yeol was not agitated.
Expressions and actions that are no different from usual.
Marcelo could sense it.
‘…As expected, the Lord knew everything.’
It was the only reaction I could think of.
So, my thoughts became stronger.
Marcelo continued.
“Sir, how about entrusting this task to me?”
Marcelo knew.
Even if Lord Hoyeol knows.
Even if you say you don’t care.
That the past doesn’t disappear.
The mistake of that mage tower is the elder mage.
No, they say it was the devil worshipers’ fault.
Even the fact that it can’t be an excuse or an indulgence.
Besides, didn’t the Lord also say something?
“So that the mage tower can keep ‘formality’ to Lord and Akkshan.”
.
.
.
Players often said
“Magic Tower? Isn’t it a bubble, honestly?”
“No, there are no results to show.”
“I can’t even move, so what kind of modifier is that grandiose?”
From the days when Arcana was just a game to now.
It was the Arcana people who reacted more violently than anyone else to such an abusive remark.
To be precise, the Arcana who witnessed the Mage Tower’s actions in the past.
“That’s because you’ve never seen it.”
“The wizards of the Mage Tower are not human.”
“Please don’t touch the magic tower. I don’t want sparks to fly.”
but this moment.
No more elaborate explanations were needed.
Marcelo, the chief wizard of the Mage Tower.
Because he appeared in Muon.
There will be no opportunity for further proof than this.
“You can tell by watching. Make a fuss or not.”
“Because he is the same senior as Lee Ho-yeol. Aren’t the two roughly the same?”
“If I do well, will I be able to grasp Lee Ho-yeol’s strength?”
Heaven’s Magic Tower.
How will the chief wizard block Muon’s attack? As he got closer to Muon, the observers had no choice but to look forward to it.
however.
“…?”
That expectation also did not become a reality.
Because the rain of arrows didn’t pour like Guyver’s time.
just.
Koo Goo Goong—!
The gate that had been tightly closed just opened like a lie.
A paladin walked out through the open gate.
– “Everything is arranged by the saintess. We don’t need any help.”
-“The one who approaches the muon.”
-“We will punish in the name of the goddess.”
It was the man who spat out words hostile to mankind.
That alone would have been shocking.
Those who watched soon realized.
Why was the Mage Tower called the strongest armed group on the Arcana continent? Why did even the emperors of the Empire pay tribute, not tribute, in order not to go against the Mage Tower’s wishes?
“…!!!”
It’s as if he’s willing to die.
A paladin who seemed to have nothing to fear.
Because he bent over Marcelo with a white face.
Shock—
someone quietly opened his mouth.
“So you’re saying that Lee Ho-yeol is on the same level as that person…?”
