Episode 144. I figured it out from the question, “I’ll hang out with you
.”
‘I haven’t realized it yet.’
A demon who claimed to be the godmother of the Simuard family was hunted down.
The time-limiting curse and status ailments would have disappeared.
It was a sight that Bellier was not aware of.
Reality and Arcana Continent.
Because the two worlds cannot be connected without going through a rift? Well, if it’s not that, it’s probably because the effect of the status ailment is blurry, so the recoil when it’s canceled is also small.
no matter what the reason
Yula Seymourd The moment you mention her name.
Like the servants of the Simuard family, you’ll know everything.
But is it necessary?
Including Marcelo, of course. Even if you come and know the truth, nothing will change. How could I not have noticed? The guilt will only intensify.
You can tell because it’s a demon hunter.
That the devil is a race that exploits even human regret.
So it was best to just keep your mouth shut.
However, this guy’s pride didn’t try to pass over.
“It didn’t happen. I came after hunting millions of demons.”
“…!”
Bellier was taken aback by my shameless bragging.
The purpose of entering the Arcana Continent was always to find a clue to unlocking the time-limited curse.
Bellier’s rolling green pupils widened.
“millions…! this! I overlooked it for a while because I was worried about Chief Marcelo. Arcana Continent would never have been safe. Then, of course, the blood on those clothes belonged to Chief Lee Ho-yeol…!”
Bellier immediately raised his mana.
“You must still have scars, right? I was able to take care of Marcelo until now thanks to the Holy Goddess Order that the chief gave me. Will you please give me a chance to repay the favor?”
The holy object of the Goddess Church?
Ah, you mean [ceremonial robes stained with evil].
When purified through exorcism, the true name and effect were revealed.
[Silk clothes of the high priest of the Goddess Church].
Even the 700 level limit wasn’t enough, so it was an item that had an additional restriction that only those with [Healing] related skills could wear it.
I can’t even use it anyway.
I gave it to Bellier in case it could be of help.
I’m glad it helped though.
however.
“I will take only your heart.”
“Quickly treat the injury before it spreads…!”
“No, no injuries.”
Literally there must be an injury.
For having died once, he returned to reality unscathed.
Belle was still incomprehensible.
Well, it’s doubtful.
‘Just think about it with common sense.’
After coming back from the Arcana continent in two hours.
He changed his blood-soaked, torn clothes.
Surprisingly, however, there are no other injuries.
How did the Simuard family get back from hunting millions of demons? I can’t help but wonder what he’s doing… And because Marcelo was awake.
“…haha.”
Are you laughing because it’s ridiculous?
If it’s something like that, you can laugh as much as you like.
Returning in two hours after making such a fuss at the round table conference.
No matter what you’re doing, it’s just to make you smile.
Specially allowed to laugh.
But soon, Bellier’s hand went to her eyes.
I wiped the tears from my eyes.
“…no. It’s very good, Chief Lee Ho-yeol. Thank you for coming back safely. And, above all, Chief Marcelo. No, thank you for saving Marcelo.”
Shuk—
Bellie politely bowed her head.
…wasn’t it necessary to think of a street to go around?
Well, why does it matter? Marcelo It’s important that the real chief of our Mage Tower is safe. Bellier, who had recovered his emotions, opened his mouth.
“Chief Marcelo is still resting in his private room.”
Isn’t it right to go to the hospital, albeit late?
I thought so on purpose.
I also said it without sincerity.
“Let’s check Marcelo’s safety at the meeting.”
“…a meeting? Are you talking about the round table?”
“Yes.”
It was.
‘Cause I’ve seen it
The miserable appearance of Arcana Continent with my own two eyes.
Let’s assume
There was no need to go to the top demon king.
What if a demon of a similar level to [Raxios, the ruler of the western part of the demon world] is updated in the rift right away? like it always has been. The world will be paralyzed by shock once more.
‘The activities of the demons didn’t slow down because of the demon lord’s crushing.’
What should be corrected should be corrected.
Demon King Absal was just a ‘moment’.
Thanks to the fact that I hunted four demon lords, including Dekarabia, there was a void in the demon lord’s seat.
It seemed that the [Devil King Battle] was being held among the demons to occupy the empty throne.
-“If so, I will give you the honor of participating in the struggle for the demon king together with Rakcioros on an equal footing!”
Yes, the reason the demons were quiet was to take the place of the demon king.
They were just looking into each other’s eyes.
I don’t know how the scramble is going.
But one thing can be said for sure.
‘Millions and then tens of millions and hundreds of millions.’
before the storm
Whether the skirmish begins or ends.
the moment something happens.
The devil’s offensive will be stronger than before!
Yes, it was a round table meeting to prepare for that.
However, this complicated situation.
Because I couldn’t explain it to Bellier.
I couldn’t help but sum it up in one line.
“The time has finally come for the magic tower to move.”
“…!”
Of course, I also have to move quickly.
As I said, this wasn’t something I could handle at the level of the Magic Tower. So it’s been a long time since I used power… no, it’s time to use ‘authority’.
*
My mind was clear.
Marcelo was lying on the bed and quietly covered with a blanket.
absolutely stable.
It was because of Bellier’s new promise.
A conversation can be heard from beyond the door.
“I’m really, really glad hehehe.”
“…Isn’t it too much to cry, Senior Bangrit?”
“Banshee William what do you say?”
“yes? What am I?”
“Put your ear close to the secret room door and make a fuss anyway…!”
…Did we have a relationship where the senior and the senior worried about each other?
‘It’s still unfamiliar.’
Marcelo laughed lightly.
It wasn’t that the change was incomprehensible, though.
Falling into the world of adventurers, the Mage Tower has gone through so many incidents.
“It must have brought us together, even though we were bound by competition.”
“The chief is right.”
“…Such senior Matisse? I didn’t know you were there.”
Isn’t it the senior of the black mage science?
corner of the living room.
Matisse, who was sitting in the shade, answered Marcelo’s monologue.
Marcelo carefully stood up.
“Wouldn’t it be better not to overdo it, Chief Marcelo?”
“It’s not a bunch.”
Marcelo smiled shyly.
“Because lying still is embarrassingly fine.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“By the way, what about Senior Bellier?”
“I was away for a while saying I had a place to stop by.”
“Oh is that so?”
The curse of the time limit has disappeared.
Marcelo couldn’t even imagine.
Because he was the one who fainted in the first place and collapsed as if the film was cut.
“It looks like you went through a lot because of me…”
All he could do was guess that Bellier was working hard on his treatment.
Matisse kept his mouth shut.
And then just before Marcelo wakes up.
I remembered the conversation I had with Bellier.
– “…I think you’ve already caught on to something!”
– “The symbol of the curse is disappearing.”
-“…I can not believe it.”
It all happened before sunset.
Matisse’s head was full of question marks.
What clue did Lee Ho-yeol catch on the Arcana continent?
How much did you know before deciding to enter the continent?
But Matisse remained silent.
Whatever it is.
Because it wasn’t news to convey with his own mouth.
“Oh, come to think of it, did Chief Lee Ho-yeol enter the Arcana Continent as planned? No, senior Matisse before that. How many days have I been down?”
…A pure expression that doesn’t really know anything.
How should I answer this?
Not even half a day had passed.
Do I have to answer honestly?
“Judging from the fact that there is no fatigue left in the body… I think I lost my mind and slept for five days at least. Ah, not the time to lie down like this…!”
I have to deal with overdue work…
Matisse, watching Marcelo muttering, touched his forehead.
Could there be overdue work even though not even a day has passed?
“Hey, Chief Marcelo. That job is…”
Of course, Matisse’s worries didn’t last long.
Clap—
because Bellier returned to the private room again.
“Chief Lee Ho-yeol has returned.”
with unexpected news.
“…Bo you returned?!”
A roar is heard from the slightly open door.
I saw Banshee’s quivering lips.
Voices filled with questions soon followed.
“No, Chief Lee has already returned?!”
“Because I told you to believe me. I didn’t doubt it… But how quickly?”
“Then is Chief Lee currently in the Mage Tower?”
Even Matisse, who would normally have been disgusted by Banshee’s fuss, was silent.
Above all, the news about Lee Ho-yeol came first.
Only one person reacted differently.
“…You’ve already returned?”
There was only Marcelo, who had lost his sense of time.
Bellier took a deep breath.
Chief Lee Ho-yeol, who is in charge of what happened on the Arcana continent, will reveal in detail at the roundtable meeting…
“Chief Ho-yeol Lee said this.”
There was only one thing Belle could answer.
“I came after hunting millions of demons.”
“…Now hold on! What do you say?”
“How many millions?! Is my ear hole wrong? yes? Appointed in Bellier!”
Udangtang─
Now, the senior wizards who open the door and rush in.
Bellier made a clear declaration in front of everyone.
“no. You heard me right. Chief Lee Ho-yeol hunted millions of demons on the Arcana continent and returned safely to the Mage Tower in just over two hours.”
“!!!”
Does that make common sense and magical sense?
The best armed group on the Arcana continent.
A look of astonishment appeared on the face of the Mage Tower’s chief senior mage.
*
Yusra Kingdom Frost Holy Land Muon.
There was no need to separate regions.
Now that the activities of demon-type monsters have calmed down.
No matter where I looked, it was full of players.
“I told you. Is it possible to do without those demons?”
“Really, I go to bed muttering Homen Homen before I go to sleep.”
“Ah, by the way, what happened to Skal?”
Even if you roll and come back from a decent level rift.
Players who still have the energy to chat like this.
As much as the topic is a topic, the chatter did not end easily.
“Well, since the parties don’t have a story, it’s just speculation. Can you even stand? Who is Lee Ho-yeol? Even if you politely say honorifics, it’s not enough.”
“yes? It’s not even a name, it’s called an evil dragon hunter!”
“But Skal is stubborn too. If you’re like me, I’m sorry that I made a mistake last time. I want to talk formally once again. I would have taken a few steps back.”
It wasn’t a trivial battle of nerves, it was because Ho-yeol was involved with his hidden class [Dragon Knight].
It was Skal who would have appeared in public.
So, I didn’t understand it any more.
“Isn’t it the right time to build up your pride in the face of not enough praying? I do not know.”
“But isn’t it strange?”
“what?”
“Looking at that Skal, it’s a servant. How did you live quietly until now?”
“Ugh, what are you going to look at now? Take a good look at the mob’s face when you’re looking at the scales. Just before, it jumped out of the aggro at me…”
Of course, what was more important to the players was the experience points and items right in front of them rather than the public news. So, the players had no choice but to focus all at once.
Ding –
the sound of a bell signaling the hour.
Bouu—
At the same time, the trumpet sounded.
All at once to Muon, the holy land of Frost in Yusra Kingdom.
Players facing each other.
I don’t know the sound of the bell, but the trumpet sounds…?
uncommon thing.
No, it hadn’t happened even once since the cataclysm.
It is natural to understand intuitively.
“… Hey, the big ones are coming.”
“Brothers. Do you think something will happen?”
“Ha, what is it?”
Klopp.
Bouu—
the longer the trumpet sounds, the greater the anticipation.
Hasn’t someone told you?
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
“…!!!”
But not as much as this time.
as much as expected.
No, because the development far exceeded that expectation.
In a more intuitive way than anything else.
A message appeared before the eyes of the players.
[Quest: Unfinished Crusade]
“…What kind of crazy quest is this?!”
An unusual quest.
.
.
.
Kingdom of Yusra.
golden round table.
I looked at those who were seated.
Hakuna, the king of Yusura.
Frost’s acting lord, Harkon.
Talim Eber, leader of the Holy Knights of Muon.
“It’s finally starting.”
“I’ve been waiting for the day of the temple.”
“May the goddess’ protection be with you.”
All their gazes, filled with a sense of sadness, were all directed at me. I would have said
hundreds of
millions of demons .
