Episode 133. Complaining (2)
AAU.
Branch heads from all over the world were busy moving.
Their faces appear on the screen one by one.
Someone who was looking at the face opened his mouth.
“uk. And is the Korean branch manager still there?”
as soon as the question is asked.
Pod─
Park Min-jae’s face emerges urgently.
Park Min-jae hurriedly greeted me.
“Sorry for being late.”
“no. Mr. Park needs us to understand.”
“You are so busy.”
There is only one reason Park Min-jae is busy.
It was because of Lee Ho-yeol.
Even just before that, I was busy running around the AAU Korea branch building.
Park Min-jae took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“Very simply, for the past few days, I have been spitting out the same words like a tape recorder. Anyway, once bitten, I won’t let go. Korean media. Existence of hidden classes? We also want to know please. Even if you say it with such an unfair expression…!”
“Oh, Chief. Your face is too close.”
“Is that why you couldn’t even wash? You don’t make any sense!”
“…yes? I went to the sauna in the morning and washed up and came back.”
…that is?
Even though everyone said those words up to the throat.
I had to put it off for a while now.
“Anyway, thank you for understanding.”
“Hmm. By the way, the British side is late.”
“Have you been absent often lately?”
“…Hasn’t there been few cracks on the British side for a while?”
“well. There’s nothing special. It’s not a situation to wait, let’s start.”
Unscheduled emergency meeting.
The reason why AAU branch heads gathered was simple.
Emerging material screen.
“So what do you think his true identity is?”
The depths of the Teppern Labyrinth.
A huge pupil perched on the wall.
It wasn’t that difficult to open up.
“Pupil and size. You can tell just by looking at the details of the skin tissue. Dragon-type monsters for sure. But don’t you all know? On the Arcana continent, dragons are…”
That is common knowledge that Arcana developers cannot be ignorant of.
“I’m only staying near [Zero Mountains].”
“Isn’t there a possibility that the settings have changed?”
“In fact, it is very likely. today. So, after the appearance of the devil, the Arcana Continent will not be the Arcana Continent we know. But…”
The next words were also common sense.
“This is a different story. A dragon buried deep underground! Dragons that would not be enough to command the Arcana World while flying in the sky?”
So, there was only one possibility.
Park Min-jae opened his mouth.
“If it’s something similar to a dragon…”
“Yes? something similar? Any guesses?”
“there is. That is in the East. Do you know? Mr. Okazaki.”
…nod.
Park Min-jae’s question was answered by Okazaki, the head of AAU’s Tokyo branch.
“Imugi. A being that aspires to become a dragon.”
“…Imoogi?”
“According to Eastern legends, a dragon endures eons of time to become a dragon. Actually, I was guessing to some extent. When it comes to giant reptiles found underground, I can only think of him.”
Park Min-jae helped.
“However, does he exist in Arcana? I was just worried.”
flowing silence.
If Arcana was just a game, it was an opinion not worth considering. To think that a monster that hadn’t even been planned, let alone updated, appeared.
But Arcana was another world, no longer a game.
“Well, the monsters we don’t know about are monsters. It didn’t exist.”
Besides, haven’t you been through this situation before?
So, it was something that couldn’t be said.
Questions poured into Park Min-jae and Okazaki.
“Is this Imoogi strong? Are you like a dragon?”
I understand how you feel, but you are impatient at times.
Park Min-jae shrugged.
“It’s not clear yet, so I don’t have anything to say. Even if it was an Imoogi, I can’t imagine how it would have been expressed. But one thing is for sure…”
Imoogi or anything like a dragon.
That alone was sure to be cause for concern.
AAU coolly recalculated.
“Then let’s just say it’s a degraded version of the dragon. Will Ho-yeol Lee and other players currently entering the Tepfern Labyrinth Rift be able to defeat him?”
The answer did not come easily.
“I think everything depends on Lee Ho-yeol’s performance.”
The story was different from [Cracks in the broken dimension] or [Demon Castle] cracks.
At that time, Hoyeol had conducted a joint operation with the Mage Tower and the leading military group in Arcana.
because everyone knows that
A small clicking sound was heard.
“Even if he is the legendary explorer Fabian, he is still an explorer after all. Due to the limitations of the class, it would be difficult to expect much help in battle…”
It was the moment when negative concerns came to mind.
Click—
someone opened his mouth in an urgent voice.
“Wait a minute, additional updates have been uploaded!”
“Anyway, Rayman! Where does it add up if I announce it all at once?”
“Could you share some details?”
“Yes, hold on!”
Click─
Update history shared to all attendees within seconds.
──────
New crack ‘Tepfern Labyrinth’ is added.
New monsters are added.
‘Teppern Black Contractor’: Lv.450
A new boss monster is added.
‘The existence that should not be awakened’….
──────
The existence that should not be awakened…!
Everyone’s eyes widened at the name.
To become a dragon dragon.
Did you say that you are a being that endures for eternity while crouching?
“It seems that the Korean and Japanese branch heads are guessing right?”
There couldn’t be a better name for him than that.
But that wasn’t the only reason I was surprised.
“His level is…?!”
─────
‘Existence that should not be awakened’: Lv.900
─────
Level 900.
One of the best monsters I’ve ever seen.
It was 50 levels higher than the Demon Lord Flauros.
Developers of Arcana.
Because of this, they knew better than anyone else that the gap between 1 level became more and more extreme as they went to higher levels.
“Is that not enough, so the boss monster is a dragon?”
I could guess.
He is stronger than the Demon Lord Flauros.
It was at this time that the branch manager’s face was troubled.
“…wait a minute. Are you all watching?”
The urgent voice continued again.
“What do you mean you are watching?”
“Park Hwigang. So, nettuber streaming entered the labyrinth!”
“streaming?”
“Could you please share the link? Screen sharing is better.”
…Something big happened.
A streaming screen emerging in tension.
The emerging landscape of the Teppern Labyrinth.
An unbelievable sight was unfolding there.
“Wait a minute, that black figure…? You’re Teppern Black’s contractor.”
[The Contractor of Teppern Black].
As stated in the update notes.
A normal monster that appears in the Teppern Labyrinth Rift.
According to Arcana’s system, it could be said that it was a monster subordinate to the boss monster ‘The One Who Should Not Be Awakened’.
But why are they like that…
Minjae Park murmured softly.
“…why are you running at the Imoogi?”
A normal monster that is out of control of the boss monster?
It was a sight that could not be understood by the developer’s common sense.
However, it was not that difficult to understand the unbelievable situation. Because I could guess through experience.
‘…Lee Ho-yeol.’
what trick did you use?
Is it because of his class ability?
Or is it part of a quest?
I couldn’t guess any specific information.
I was sure.
This time, too, it was Lee Ho-yeol.
“Ha ha…”
Park Min-jae spat out a laugh.
Prove your ability in any adversity.
Isn’t this enough to just blindly believe?
“It wasn’t that everyone was talking about Homen Hoyeol for nothing. this?”
*
[You have obtained the command authority for the Black Contractors in Teppern.]
[10890 Black Contractors in Teppern]
[Current Status: Waiting for orders]
It was a familiar message.
I still have experience
It is said that he led the Holy Knights of the Goddess Church.
‘Actually, I feel like…’
I wanted to give an attack order right away.
[A ‘fear’ occurs in the being that should not be awakened.]
The 『Black Crown』 deprived him of his five senses.
Thanks to the addition of appropriate magic power, [Fear], which belongs to the highest status abnormality among status abnormalities, occurred. Because there was information to hear in such a situation.
“Emergency update history popped up? yes?! Nine hundred levels?!”
what level 900?
How did I say the scale was big…!
A situation where the real lifeline is at stake beyond the level of whining.
Especially since I’ve been cubing until just now.
‘Sleep? If you accept that, it looks like I’ll fall asleep forever.’
So, the desire to finish it quickly took the lead.
As I said, [Fear] is the highest status abnormality.
──────
Horror: Destroys the target physically and mentally.
──────
It was one of the reasons why the players were afraid of demon-type monsters, and one of the reasons why I was able to stand upright in front of demons.
‘Fear is a condition abnormal enough to make the demon lord scream.’
That now, when fear has occurred, is a golden opportunity to defeat him.
But for goddamn pride…!
I spoke calmly in the midst of an urgent situation.
“You have already made enough sacrifices.”
While looking at the people of Teppern, the black contractor.
“Are you still trying to right the wrong?”
It was.
I did not control the people of Teppern even for a moment, even though I obtained command over the [Teppern Black Contractors].
Because there was no way the pride that was so heavy and complex that it would not be strange to sink in my heart could not tolerate such an action.
But there was nothing to be hasty about.
“!!!”
An immediate effect of fear.
A huge pupil that reveals the children’s song as it is.
Is it to struggle with a bigger body than that?
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung—!
The labyrinth began to vibrate more violently than before.
“Ha, shouldn’t we attack at a time like this?”
“You madman. How can you run over there!!”
“No matter how much you sponsor this, you can’t react. Seriously.”
Truly overwhelming force.
No one can move quickly in front of it.
Fabian, the legendary explorer who must have gone through all the battles.
“Whoa.”
Even he was holding his breath in tension.
However, there was no hesitation for those who wanted to correct their mistakes.
I didn’t give any orders
.
Black contractors rushed at the flinching one.
Because of the Black Contract, only resentment remains.
As a result, specific actions are impossible.
“?!”
I just hang on to the existence that shouldn’t be woken up.
“…it’s nice to be an ally.”
“Does that help?”
“Is this a hug? What damage could that do?”
That look may be funny to someone.
It might look powerless.
But not for me.
Even if others may not know.
I mean I know
the meaning of that action.
Sussu—
the black contractors who were close to him were dyed into an even thicker darkness.
It emits appropriate magic power and disappears into thin air.
A crystal of practically pure, suitable magic power.
The only thing the people of Teppern could do was resentment.
It oxidizes and does nothing but damage it.
With a black magic point of view.
“is it. I know your pride.”
Even the positive view of my major field.
So that means I can’t stand still.
Fluttering—
white elytra fluttering in the air.
I raised my horsepower.
Interference and expression as natural as breathing.
Like a feather coming out of a wing.
Elemental magic stored in the elytra erupts one by one.
The whispers of the players are heard in my ears.
“…What is that?”
“Is it a skill?”
“A skill? Where does the skill come from? From those wings?”
But don’t pay attention to their buzz.
no i don’t care
The people of Teppern were burning their last pride.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the last flame that burned.
Yes, this is the weight I carry in my chest.
White attribute magic that is manifested from the elytra.
It was [『Absolute Zero』] that opened fire.
[【Giu】] It was also a gii that was manifested by imitating the state of Senios.
Of course, its power is overwhelming even among the magic I can manifest.
Of course, the amount of mana consumed was not something I could handle as I was still only level 400.
[Effect: Stores the attribute magic that the user manifests when worn. The number of spells that can be stored is proportional to the color of the elytra, and magic consumption is reduced by 30% when manifesting the stored magic. – Number of property magic currently stored: 100]
Even if it was stored in the elytra to reduce magic power consumption.
[Magical regeneration increases slightly for 6 hours.]
Even if the effect of the medicinal herb is added.
This is an unacceptable level of horsepower consumption.
However, at this moment, I did not have magical exhaustion.
[The skill ‘Relation to the Natural Enemy’ is activated.]
Because the [Relation to the Natural Enemy] has been activated.
Even without trying to figure out the reason, the senses of a demon hunter who had reached the peak were telling.
It means that among the players who have entered the rift in the depths of the labyrinth, there are demons mixed in.
‘If only it was like usual.’
Grandfel’s temperament that demons can’t leave behind.
It wouldn’t have been strange if he had set out to hunt demons first rather than those who shouldn’t be awakened.
However, as I said, there were people of Teppern.
“It is not a place where an inferior race dares to intervene.”
Everything according to procedure.
How that priority exists.
The demon hunt is after defeating him.
…Anyway, it was a relief for me.
Thanks to [Natural Enemy Relationship] being activated, I was able to hit [『Absolute Zero』] right from the start. Even so, he was able to pull out the stored attribute magic without staggering due to magical exhaustion.
[‘Frostbite’ occurs to the entity that should not be awakened.]
[‘Bleeding’ occurs to the entity that should not be awakened.]
[‘Paralysis’ occurs to the entity that should not be awakened.]…
900 The boss monster of the level.
But the guy is not normal.
Thanks to all kinds of debuffs, it’s worth trying.
No, I have no choice but to knock him down.
‘Cause I wasn’t alone
[10890 Black Contractors in Teppern]
[9754 Black Contractors in Teppern]
[7551 Black Contractors in Teppern]…
The people of Teppern sacrifice themselves until the very end.
Highel and the Dark Spirit.
And Fabian and his party.
“Sir, we will join the fight. Even if you participate in the war, your combat power won’t matter much, but… Thanks to the Lord who told me to be fully prepared, I have the magic tools I brought.”
Finally to the players.
“Are you all just watching?”
“You said you wanted to fight together with Ho-yeol?”
“I have to do something. It’s embarrassing to just keep watching!”
A being that should not be awakened.
Innumerable joint attacks began pouring toward him.
Koo Goo Goong—!!
Are you a little distracted by the pain?
“!!!”
The boy started shaking more and more violently.
Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!
The rock wall of the labyrinth completely collapsed and the body of the guy began to be exposed.
Is it true that pupils are only a small part? Sharp teeth and claws appeared one after another.
“Could that crazy thing be a dragon?!”
“That’s what happened without a doubt!”
“Even if it’s a little late, those claws…”
Surprised players reflexively backed away.
But I stood still and did not back down.
didn’t you say
I have no choice but to knock him down.
Pride says so.
so you too
You’d better not expect to be able to get out.
[The Pentagram of Pure Knowledge]
[Rating: Epic]
[Restrictions: None]
[Effect: When equipped, acquires knowledge of all minerals and plants in the Arcana continent.]
[Description: A demon containing immeasurably vast knowledge . Tool.]
Underground.
rock wall.
As long as minerals exist.
You won’t be able to move a single scale on your own.
“The act of kicking out the bedding will not be regarded as a struggle to sleep.”
“…?”
“Keep your manners.”
“…!”
Quad deuk-!
