Episode 143. Gorgeous (3)
Harkon’s voice lingers in my ears.
-“…Because on the battlefield between life and death, swordsmanship becomes thicker and takes on its own color.”
I must have really stood at the crossroads of life and death.
The words that I thought I would understand before.
If you see what you realize at once.
I looked at the sword in the slowed down time.
Sussu─
The upper level of sword fighting.
The blade turned to a dark ink color like pitch black.
A silver spirit entwined around such a jet-black blade.
Did you say it was the user’s own color?
…Anything that embodies silver hair in the dark history?
anyway.
Anyone can see that I am Lee Ho-yeol’s sword class.
However, more important than that is that it is a sword, not a sword.
This must also be thanks to Grandfel’s talent.
As if he grasped the realm of magic at once. I was able to naturally realize how different swordsmanship and swordsmanship were.
How difficult it is to reach the ranks of the Sword River.
Why can’t you just look at the current situation?
It meant that it was a realm that could only be reached after being in a dying state even with Grandfel’s talent.
I wanted to feel this tremendous growth in a relaxed way.
[Abnormal condition ‘bleeding’ occurs.]
[Caution: HP is too low.] [
Caution
: HP is too low]…
Susuk—
A sword robber who cuts down demons.
Pushing—
the crossbow bolts shooting out.
slower than before
I really feel that my body has reached its limit.
I have no choice but to insist on always.
Even with the pride of Grandfel, this is impossible.
However, as I had guessed even before entering the Arcana continent.
Whoops—
swaaaa—
I didn’t stop hunting even for a moment.
If the movement slowed down, as it slowed down.
If there is still energy left, to hunt down even one more demon.
I was intimidating the screaming body.
It’s forced.
There is no coercion like this, Grandfel.
It’s really like a black history.
death and what
It’s like a specter of the stormy period when there was nothing to be afraid of. But thank you for that.
If it wasn’t for me at the time, this would have been an unbearable battlefield.
Jiji Jiji Jik-!
with noise.
Magical power scattered in the air.
The dragon of magical power that has reached its limit is oxidized.
The [Evil Earth Dragon’s Fang] returned to the inventory.
I am alone on earth now.
The eyes of tens of millions of demons were only focused on me.
[Lv.900: Wandering Huge Hell Dog]
[Lv.950: Preacher of Despair]
[Lv.1000: Laxios, loser of the western part of the demon world]…
Fuck all of them…
No, to the extent that they can’t be touched. These are far-out levels.
However, what frightens me more than shame is that among these numerous demons, not a single one of the higher rank demons has appeared.
What am I catching?
You don’t have to go out to the tall people.
I muttered.
“Your attitude toward welcoming guests is insufficient.”
Even in the middle of the day that I’m going to collapse at any moment, the words come out well.
But do they even see my limits?
I heard someone’s voice.
“As expected, you are the last survivor of Akkshan in the world! I, Loser of the West, Laxios, acknowledge you. You were brave enough to be foolish until the end. It’s a waste to be treated like cowardly humans!”
Rakshioros, the loser of the Pandemonium West.
The guy on top of the gigantic beast-type demon spoke.
“good night. I will give you the opportunity to serve this body even in death. Anyone is fine! Claim the body of that demon hunter! Be possessed! If you do, I will give you the honor of participating in the struggle for the demon king together with me on an equal footing!”
Do you think they are even fighting over the position of the demon king?
The sales of demons are very good.
We live in the rift every day, not knowing what kind of monster or demon might attack us.
What’s there?
Are you going to possess me?
‘I really have a lot to say, but I…’
I don’t mix unnecessary conversations with my prey.
I moved my finger instead of talking.
A clap—
Rakcioros raised his palm to block the bolt.
I didn’t even expect it to work.
It’s an itchy expression, too.
He looked at his pierced palm and let out a giggle.
“ha ha ha!”
The boy’s pupils were stained black.
“Is this the final push? Akshan, the last survivor!”
Boss, even playing with words…?
It’s different. You too.
But it worked.
Chuck—
I stretched out both hands holding the sword and crossbow.
“Did you finally realize? Demon hunter! finished! everything!”
Gulp–
I can hear the demons swallowing their mouths.
A chuckle—
a laugh mixed with joy and mockery in half.
“It’s arrogant. You are so arrogant that you are not human. Did you think you could become anything by hunting demon lords and monsters? I never thought I’d come here alone! More than arrogant, stupid!”
At that declaration, the demonic eyes of the night sky flinched.
from full moon to new moon.
The evil eyes that filled the night sky smiled.
Could it be that it fell on the Arcana Continent?
Suddenly Akkshan comes to mind.
‘I wonder if Akkshan’s demon hunters felt this way too.’
to achieve pride.
Although he fought against the demons until the very end.
The only thing that came back was the demons’ mockery.
“How is it? Are you ready to cry now? Like the demon hunters who died first. You too should cry once. Try to distort that arrogant face!”
Just like Laxios said.
At the threshold of death, the mental strength that was like an iron wall may have collapsed.
But i know
“Shut up.”
Yusra.
frost.
Teppern.
Akshan.
because I had experience.
Even if I didn’t know, I have no choice but to know now.
That human pride is something that goes on endlessly.
Extinction of Akshan?
As I said several times, it happened during the hiatus.
It’s safe to say that it has nothing to do with me.
But now that I know the pride of Akkshan, I can’t stay still.
Whether it was played by the devil or whatever.
In the end, they were abandoned even by their allies.
It means you can’t stay away forever.
okay.
this finale.
My condolences to Akshan.
Suug—
I slowly raised my head.
A gigantic ship that can be seen vaguely behind the clouds.
My back ship Iron Castle No.
I was alone on earth.
Above the sky, I have something floating just like you.
radiation.
The gun barrel of the Iron Castle shone differently than before.
A message popped up in my blurry vision.
[Flying Mechanical Castle Iron Castle: Magical ray ejection cannon loaded]
If you have no choice but to die anyway.
Of course, beating the main battle.
gorgeously.
Shouldn’t you die worthwhile?
It was.
This is also part of the full preparation.
I disappear along with millions of demons on the Arcana continent.
Geeeeeeeeing—!
Iron Castle, the pinnacle of dwarf technology.
It was an attack that the Iron Castle launched with all its power.
In other words, that light cannon is more powerful than any magic skill I’ve ever seen.
Condensation of enormous magical power.
Because of this, the clouds dissipate and the aircraft’s appearance is revealed.
Degururu—
the eye smile he was making was colorless.
The focus of the magic eyes rolls urgently.
I guess I figured out the situation a bit late.
unfortunately it’s late
“…!!!”
like telepathy.
It seemed that he was receiving information from Maan.
Laxios’ face contorts mercilessly.
“…You are insane, demon hunter! It’s just an outburst! Even if you risk your life, nothing will change. Even if millions of demons are defeated in this place, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of demons will be reborn!”
It’s not consistent.
You can’t see the momentum from before because your tongue has grown.
I don’t have unnecessary conversations, but I have to say what I have to say.
I opened my mouth.
“Then, it’s just a matter of hunting down hundreds of millions of demons.”
“…what?”
I’ll bet you don’t understand
It deserves it.
You won’t understand how to hunt hundreds of millions of demons in a world where everyone is dying.
But don’t get me wrong.
Who says dying is dying?
[The Last Adventurer: You will not die on the Arcana continent. Upon death, you return to reality immediately and cannot access the Arcana Continent for a certain period of time. – Cooldown: 24 hours]
Arcana Continent.
If only we could find a way to get back in.
I will appear in front of you guys again.
Until you really defeat hundreds of millions of demons…!
It’s because I’m the kind of person who can’t live without keeping what someone said.
But that’s it for today.
I continued talking.
“This is just the beginning.”
“…?”
“I am a demon hunter.”
“…!”
“I am your nemesis and your terror.”
I finished the words that I couldn’t spit out calmly.
Then he kept his mouth shut.
Yes, silence is my attitude in hunting.
It sounds like a signal flare.
[Flying Mechanical Castle Iron Castle: Fires magic ray projectiles]
Shuuuuuu—!
Soon, a magical beam of formidable power covered his vision.
A message came to mind amidst the desperate screams of the demons.
An uncountable amount of messages.
[Elimination contribution to… is credited.]
[Kill contribution to… is credited.]….
[Level has risen.]
[Level has risen]….
[Death You did.]
[Death penalty is applied.]
[Acquired experience decreases.]….
[Your achievements resonate in Arcana Continent.]
[Life in Arcana Continent speaks of your sacrifice. ]
[Acquire the title ‘Sublime’.]
[The title ‘Last Adventurer’ effect is activated.]
[Return to reality immediately.]
[Cooldown: 23 hours 59 minutes.]

Iron Castle No.
“…Damn it!!”
The dwarf leader, Chainwalker Hardrock, vented his anger.
“You mean there was only this way!”
everything went as expected.
Akshan’s survivor.
To defeat the last demon hunter, demons rushed in, and to wipe out such demons, the Iron Castle’s secret weapon was used.
When I heard about the plan through the spirit Highel, I couldn’t help but wonder. This is the maximum output of the Iron Castle.
It means that no matter how much Hoyeol is fluent in magic, it is impossible to block without damage.
– “Nevertheless, trust me. Hoyeol-nim told me to do so.”
But what is an oath?
that you just have to follow.
Furthermore, the oath with Akshan could never be broken.
Even though I was worried, I had no choice but to follow his plan.
But is this really a predestined sequence?
The Chain Walkers and other Dwarves witnessed the whole situation.
“…That’s not something I can handle alone!”
“Chain Walker! It is right to join him now!”
“We can’t lose the survivors of Akkshan like this!”
At the end, I caught Ho-yeol with a sword and a crossbow.
It’s a situation that anyone can see.
Is there really a way?
Despite constant doubts, Chainwalker had no choice but to make a decision.
“Betrayal once is enough. We just trust Akshan.”
Clap—
fire.
A magic ray cannon that swallowed up millions of demons.
Using the aftermath of the explosion as the driving force, the Iron Castle moved.
Of course, retreat was also part of Ho-yeol’s plan.
The chain walker quickly gnashed his teeth.
“…does we deserve your concern?”
Take a moment to get lost in thought.
“!”
High L.
A thought reached the spirit.
Hiel is the contract spirit of Hoyeol.
Because it was proof that Ho-yeol was alive.
and witnessed
Why?
Beyond elegance, HIEL emits a ‘sublime’ light.
“Sir Hoyeol of Higher…?”
Hiel answered Chain Walker’s question.
“Nothing to worry about. Because you are safe. As always.”
In a voice more benevolent than ever.
.
.

…It’s not worth choosing the rift closest to the Magic Tower.
‘what.’
The state of the body was perfectly fine.
So, to explain in one word…
the days when Arcana was just a game.
The extent to which I woke up after lying in a VR capsule.
It’s just that tired.
‘From night to dawn.’
We fought and hit each other non-stop.
When I checked the time, only two hours had passed.
In my heart, I wanted to return to the Magic Tower right away.
The procedure was to check if Marcelo was fine.
However, I remembered that I had all kinds of forms at the round table meeting.
Isn’t it a bit embarrassing to put up with the fuss and return in just two hours…? In that sense, I looked around the cracks.
Also, I want to take a look at the message that came to mind. It is a slow return…
“!”
But I’ve checked.
It was my jacket shirt slacks torn to shreds.
No wounds left, but blood stains.
Your insides are clearly exposed.
I’m embarrassed too.
There’s no way Grandfel could tolerate such a rag-like outfit.
Direct portal expression.
It’s a two-hour outing, and it’s nabal.
First of all, you have to change clothes.
I turned into a motion full of moderation.
‘I have to change and go out again.’
However, my promise is not colorless.
Knock—
an urgent knock was heard.
…Are you saying that if you pretend not to be there, it will disappear somewhere?
I replied as if I had been waiting.
“for a moment.”
First, fill in the button.
“You may come in.”
A door that opens straight to my permission.
It was Bellier who opened the door and entered.
Bellier said to me while wearing Duke Swalin’s cherished item.
“I didn’t expect you to come back so quickly.”
I didn’t know either.
“Marcelo. No, Chief Marcelo has woken up…!”
I knew it would be
Still, it’s reassuring to hear that you’re awake.
“…?”
Bellier, who had delivered the news, soon turned to the rags neatly hanging on the chair. Fastened to shredded, bloodstained garments. I didn’t even have time to open my mouth.
“…Chief Lee Ho-yeol? What about those clothes?”
Bellier asked in a trembling voice.
“What the heck…? What happened to the Arcana Continent?”
…His personality.
If it’s wrong, I can’t just listen.
I said shamelessly as I trimmed my clothes.
“It didn’t happen.”
“…?”
“I came after hunting millions of demons.”
“…yes?!”
Why did they die together, but it’s not wrong?
