Episode 115. Devil Castle (1)
The news that the dwarves have started ‘activities’ in earnest.
Activities here, of course.
It was to hunt the demons of the Arcana continent.
No, in this case, sweeping would be the correct expression.
Hayel spat out the terrifying words in a noble way.
“The fire from the flying boat consumed the demon without leaving a trace.”
Decisive weapon, Kürnberg mechanical tower.
I felt it the first time I saw a mechanical tower in a rift.
The Dwarves’ technological prowess was phenomenal.
In fact, it was recognized by the magic tower of the world more than a hundred words.
One word would be a better explanation.
however.
“Accordingly, the resistance of the demons has also intensified. After the emergence of a new world tree. They must be trying to get the momentum of the changed Arcana continent back into their hands.”
I was taken aback by Highel’s words.
…The demon king started rampaging on the Arcana continent.
Even three at the same time.
“Although the three demon kings did not join forces or solidarity with each other, their respective strengths reached their peak. The dwarves’ flying boat was also blocked in front of a demon king.”
Raise the prelude to the counterattack.
Activate the Kürnberg Machine Tower.
It is said that the seed of the world tree has sprouted.
The Arcana Continent is still on the Devil’s Palm.
As you can see now.
Only three demon kings moved.
The winds of counterattack that had blown across the Arcana continent had died down.
But I knew
The fact that the demon king appeared in earnest on the Arcana continent.
That this is the first time since the cataclysm.
‘That must be scary too.’
by the way.
you made a mistake
Demon Lord, thanks to reviving three at a time.
Because this has become a ‘big case’ without fail.
A great event that could shake the Arcana continent!
From the days when Arcana was just a game to now.
Players were able to intervene somehow. I vaguely recalled distant memories… Let’s see, 10 years and even years ago.
‘Even if it’s the conquest war of the empire at the time.’
Because it was a major event at the time.
Including me stuck in Akkshan.
Quests were given to all players in Arcana.
An empire or the other side of an empire.
You played an active part in the chosen faction, accumulated contributions, and received rewards after the quest was over. So that means I’m not just excited.
‘I don’t know if it’s one, but three? Unconditional. This.’
I was sure
In the next regular update, the demon king will appear in some way.
Of course, as I just said, there are three demon kings.
‘I don’t know which one will take it.’
Besides, I didn’t know what the level of the demon king was.
The only thing I can be sure of is that it is incomparably stronger than Dekarabia.
Dekaravia descended from Frost, who was summoned to reality.
No matter how gutter the reality is, it will be worse than the Arcana Continent, which has already fallen into the clutches of demons.
The demon king who was resurrected on the Arcana continent might radiate the power of the real demon king.
however.
“Either the devil or the demon king. Does not matter.”
Naturally, I wasn’t intimidated in the slightest.
『Grand Fell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo’s pride ironically rises the most in front of the devil.
』 Does not matter.”
Granfell’s settings?
Of course there will be an impact.
But even without that setting.
In the meantime, I’m saying that I’ve been struggling hard.
Much more than you tried to occupy the Arcana Continent!
Yusra Kingdom and Frost with the [Permission] feature activated.
mage tower.
And to Muon, the sacred ground of the Goddess Church.
That certain back…
No, the grounds were giving me strength.
A head that does not drop.
A straight waist.
Up to the proud shoulders.
so that I don’t flinch.
I ended my speech calmly.
“Because I’m just a prey.”
Is there something in common between contractual relationships?
Hiel sincerely bowed her head to me.
“I will also show results that are not lacking in the name I have received.”
…I understand your heart.
It would be better to stop mentioning the name.
Especially if you don’t want to tell others your full name.
I couldn’t be the type to care about such things privately.
I went straight to what I had to do.
It sounds grandiose, but it’s simple.
‘If you entered the rift, you should clear it and get out.’
There are only a few days left until the next regular update.
Even if the experience points that can be obtained are small, it is a law to collect dust and become a great mountain. In addition, there were quite a few items that could be used in this rift.
[Shelter of Toxic Spores]
From poisonous plants that are used as ingredients for poison.
Even the rare non-medicine that grows among those poisonous plants.
Yes, I still haven’t changed what I have to do.
‘Only I need to do well.’
In that sense, it would be better to check the means available to me.
The proper level of 350 [Shelter of Toxic Spores]… wouldn’t it be an appropriate level to look at the power of Hiel, who has been reborn as a {Inherent Spirit}?
“Can you open the road to Highel?”
Above all, at this level, even if [Natural Enemy Relationship] is not activated, I can deal with unexpected situations by myself.
Even if the demon hunter is a class with a missing screw, he didn’t waste his level of 390.
however.
“I will open the road as you wish.”
…what is this.
I was taken aback by the sight unfolding before my eyes.
Didn’t do anything great.
Highel merely waved the air with an elegant gesture.
The [LV.300~
LV.350 ]
plant
-type monsters that filled the area were crumbled.
I’m back to dust…!
To be honest, I was looking forward to it.
Didn’t Fei Yan, the senior magician of Elementalism, make a fuss? Because through that fuss, I had just learned that the {Indigenous Spirit} was a Spirit that transcended class.
However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
So I had moderate expectations.
But this is more than what I had initially hoped for.
Highell opened his mouth.
“If only to give a blessing before being given a name. After being bestowed with the name, I also have the ability to reap blessings.”
Hiel is a forest spirit.
‘It’s an ability that’s only valid for plants, but…’
Even taking that into consideration, it was a powerful ability.
satisfied
Hiel’s growth alone was satisfactory.
Because I could have added a new concept to that {Nature} and used it as [『{Strange}』.
“Excellent.”
Even with the high standards of Grandfel, there is no choice but to get a passing grade.
However, I shut my mouth at Highel’s answer that followed.
I really wanted to hide in a mouse hole.
“Hayel Crisiad Four Seasons Reef. Befitting the name given to you. I can be a warm spring for them or a harsh winter. It is only you who decides that.”
It was a very sincere and reassuring word.
That goddamn naming sense…
I felt a very strange feeling welling up.
But, of course, there is no expression.
I said shamelessly.
“Soon the time will come when you will unleash your power, Hiel.”
With this kind of power, a major incident will soon be encountered.
Even in the battle against the demon lord, Hyel will be helpful.
And to forget the past.
In the end, the only thing left to do is to live faithfully in reality.
I moved on to the path that Highell opened.
Again—
*
Frost.
Frost, which was like a living hell, was full of energy.
As in the past, the streets were lined with blood and corpses.
It was crowded with adventurers.
“Of course, the scenery is unfamiliar.”
Frost’s Citadel.
according to the procedure.
Harkon, who was acting as Frost’s lord, looked down the street for a moment.
I never thought I would see Frost’s view in the world of adventurers.
“I’m slowly getting used to this too.”
Yes, I was getting used to even the unfamiliar scenery.
For some reason, the stiff body was hardly able to adapt.
Harkon turned his shoulder for nothing.
“…I want to run out right now.”
Wielding a sword was something that suited his aptitude.
I was sitting at my desk scribbling with a feather pen.
It was normal for moths to itch.
“Because if I can’t handle it on my own, I’ll leave the work to you.”
I can’t cause such a nuisance to Ho-yeol again.
In that sense, Harkon’s Ho-yeol was admirable.
Because Harkon knew what kind of daily life Ho-yeol was going through, at least for a while.
Sword training in the morning.
In the afternoon, handle the Yusura Kingdom agenda.
Research at the Magic Tower from night to dawn.
Besides, Frost was full of adventurers.
There was also news from this world that was heard through adventurers.
Ho-yeol’s performance was transmitted day after day.
Even if it was a day apart, it was a nobleman.
only a few hours.
No, it was overflowing even when they chatted about Ho-yeol every few minutes.
“I assure you, you are living a more tiring life than His Majesty the Emperor.”
Hoyeol and Emperor.
It was Harkon who watched the two of them closely, so he could say that.
Harkon wasn’t the only one who sympathized with those words.
Kingdom of Yusra.
The Golden Calf Tavern on the corner in front of the Golden Palace Square.
It was Rock Kid who occupied the front seat with the best view of the TV screen. Because it occupies the front seat with its size. All I see behind me is a half-screen.
“hey! Won’t you get out of the way?”
It was fortunate that Kichi, the shadow mercenary leader, was there. Even if it was Rockkid, who was not working at all, he pretended to listen to the words of the leader, Kichi.
But today Rockkid was alone.
“…how can I get rid of that?”
“it’s crazy? How can I talk to that monster?”
“Okay, let’s just be content with being modest today.”
“madam. I need to see it on the big screen.”
The voices of players whispering.
A stinging gaze poured into the back of the head.
However, Rockkid had no mind to care about that.
“The more you look…”
hot-tempered, dirty, eccentric, etc.
Evaluations of Rock Kid’s personality may differ, but evaluations of his skills were never divided.
The winner of the Colosseum, the giant fighting machine of the underworld… For Rockkid, titles that were no different from praise were proof of his skills.
“You’re a crazy man.”
With a sigh—
a large drinking glass put down.
Of course, it was Ho-yeol who was recognized as crazy even by the world’s Rock Kid. Rockkid watched the video of Ho-yeol playing on the screen.
As a title worthy of a battle machine.
I drew a battle with Ho-yeol like a machine.
Setting the conditions for battle is no different from the actual battle.
‘A special assassination request. The target is Lee Ho-yeol.’
Alkali prior to battle.
I’ll have to rip all sorts of potions off the old man.
Because I have to get all kinds of elemental resistance potions, even those of the highest quality.
Success pays off before you even start.
‘Of course, even if it increases magic resistance.’
It is not possible to completely offset the damage.
Besides, Ho-yeol was not just a wizard.
How to see as much as you know.
Because Rockkid knew Hoyeol’s swordsmanship skills.
“Eh. Cub.”
Even if you imagine the battle dozens of times.
I couldn’t see a picture that could defeat Ho-yeol.
What bothered me most was the attitude of Ho-yeol.
That arrogant expression full of confidence.
that the leeway is revealed.
Ho-yeol must have never revealed his power yet.
“But it’s a mechanism, but that one too.”
Unlike the Arcana continent, there were many restrictions in the world of adventurers.
On the Arcana continent, enormous power was no different from freedom.
In this world, with power came unnecessary attention and responsibility.
I didn’t really learn it, but I could tell just by looking at it.
-“AAU will contact Lee Ho-yeol as soon as possible…”
He was the type of person who enjoys the attention and attention of others.
That, too, has its limits.
Rockkid thought for a moment.
in a living picture.
What if what a woman is talking about is her story, not her passion?
Then, of course, the tongue stuck out.
“I must be tired in many ways.”
Because even Rock Kid felt the weight Ho-yeol carried.
The feelings of those who knew Ho-yeol better than Rock Kid did not have to be expressed.
So, the moment Ho-yeol’s letter arrived to them, they couldn’t help but admire it.
“…It’s nice to hear this!”
Harkon and the Lion Heart Knights.
“It was so peaceful. There’s no way my sales person would be like that.”
Kitsch and the Shadow Mercenaries.
“May the goddess be with us every moment.”
Talim and the Holy Land of the Goddess Church, Muon.
“This was the news I was waiting for.”
Even the Magic Tower, who learned the meaning of Ho-Yeol through the parchment.
The reasons for each movement were different, but they did not hesitate.
The content of the letter did not matter much.
It was natural.
The strongest knights on the Arcana continent.
The darkness of the Arcana Continent.
The largest religion on the Arcana continent.
The pinnacle of the Arcana continent.
Each one is a huge force.
Are such people afraid of the contents of the letter and leave?
that it is impossible.
Even if the content is related to the Demon King.

coming Thursday.
The world was shocked by Arcana’s regular update history.
──────
A new rift ‘Demon King’ is added.
──────
Because the demon castle appeared in reality.
──────
A new crack ‘Demon Castle’ is added…
A new crack ‘Demon Castle’ is added…
──────
Three of them.
Only then did the world re-evaluate AAU’s announcement.
-“The predictable level of threat is over.”
It was.
This was an unexpected and non-standard update.
There is not one demon castle, but three.
Because it was at a level beyond what could be expected.
But the world soon found out.
“…Wait a minute. What about that?”
It seems like he was expecting such an absurd situation.
with a consistent expression.
Because there was Ho-yeol who showed up.
Besides, Ho-yeol was not alone.
same time.
frost.
Kingdom of Yusra.
muon.
And the movement captured in the mage tower.
The world was shocked once again.
“…Could all of them be because of player Lee Ho-yeol?”
To a development that could not even be imagined.
.
.
.
Simple hunting is not the purpose.
Now that the Demon King has appeared in full force.
What is needed is a certain victory report, not a messy hunt.
That’s why it’s a letter that I sent.
Yes.
Today I.
no we are
