Episode 181. All of them are unqualified
──────
[Main Quest: Warring States Period]
A time of upheaval.
Is it simple power to go to?
Is it the emperor’s incompetence?
Or is it an irreversible fate?
The strong men of the continent covet the throne.
Let your choices create a new flow.
──────
Capital City Antonium.
The last bastion of the empire did not fall. Despite suffering unprecedented damage, he did not succumb to the devil. Truly a desperate struggle.
“Stop! Risk your life!”
“When the walls fall, everything is over!”
“Even if I die, I will stop and die!!”
Did Heaven take pity on that desperate struggle?
“…is that really it? The demons are gone!”
The forces of demons scattered throughout the empire were annihilated overnight.
That wasn’t all. Even the demon king, the king of demons. Unlike before, the movement was withdrawn.
Dagdak—
a reconnaissance party thoroughly searching the vicinity of Antonium.
Even when they saw it for themselves, they couldn’t believe it.
“What kind of harmony is this?”
Just like the news that had been handed down, the demons really disappeared.
As if I was scared by ‘something’.
without leaving even a trace.
“…You go back and tell His Majesty the news!”
Everyone in Antonium, including the emperor, was relieved.
“I was about to run out of food, but I’m so glad.”
“I don’t know what kind of trick is hiding…”
“Stop the burning noise. Don’t we have a choice? I have no choice but to be vigilant and seize this opportunity.”
“Yes, you are right.”
I thought it was finally time to take a deep breath.
but was overlooked.
Demons who become stronger through negative energy.
Why are these demons
Even after appearing on the Arcana Continent.
that I grew stronger day by day.
Where did the source of that power come from?
Rush——
Soldiers were flocking toward Antonium.
It was neither a demon nor a reinforcement.
“your majesty! Duke Ymir leads the soldiers…!!”
“The Marquis of Cassano has rebelled against the Empire!”
“The eastern princes of the Empire have declared a union…!”
They were rebels who wanted to destroy the empire.
The emperor proceeded to the walls of Antonium.
He looked at those who surrounded him.
A bitter smile crept across his face.
“…I was foolishly mistaken.”
They were the ones who did not respond to the telepathy of the imperial mage or the telegraph. Foolishly, I thought you were defeated by the devil.
I blamed myself day and night for not being able to protect you.
however.
“You guys were glaring at me in the first place.”
A bitter laugh escaped from the king’s lips.
“…It’s not a place to buy someone’s envy.”
A crown that seemed like it would be crushed to death by its weight.
Do you want to step out and bear it?
If the position of emperor can be handed over.
I was willing to hand it over.
Hui-i-i-ing—
the emperor gently closed his eyes as the wind blew.
The smell carried by the wind changed.
I couldn’t feel the smell of blood or burns anymore.
“…if it’s really all over.”
If the demons really disappeared from the continent.
If there were no days when the people of the empire groaned in pain even if the burden disappeared.
I will gladly give up the emperor’s seat.
The emperor promised.
“I don’t think an end like that would be bad either.”
It means you’re so tired that you can’t stand it any longer.
The emperor opened his eyes and chanted.
“So, if we meet again, don’t blame me too much, Harkon. To you, even the debts I have so far are too much to pay off.”
Kung–
The emperor’s vain words.
The view of the Kürnberg Machine Tower shifted.
To the countless forces besieging Antonium.
“Our alliance is until the moment we defeat Antonium and bring down the Emperor. From then on, don’t trust anyone’s words, Duke.”
Until the demons disappear as if evaporating overnight.
It was the continent of Arcana, which was groaning in pain.
However, there was no sign of exhaustion among those present.
It was natural.
Because those gathered here did not confront the devil.
While ignoring the people who groan in pain.
It’s because I’ve been conserving my strength for today, shutting myself in the castle like I’m dead.
“The continent wants a new emperor!”
“Emperor! Your incompetence has made the continent this way.”
“This is a revolution, not a rebellion!”
Kugung—
The only purpose is to hunt demons.
The mechanical tower has no ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
I just put the scenery of Antonium into my memory device. It was the moment when the
Kürnberg
machine tower was about to move.
A man blocked his way.
dark blue hair.
blue eyes.
And even more than that, a sharp sword sword.
The man who appeared to be a young man opened his mouth.
“Is this a machine that goes around doing useless things?”
Shuk—
and then, without hesitation, he aimed his sword at the mechanical tower.
It was so blue that you could feel the cold energy just by looking at it.
Its brightness was blindingly clear. It was so intense that even in broad daylight, it was clearly visible to the eyes of those who had not awakened the sword spirit.
In a word, it was more than sword steel.
There was a buzz around.
“That’s Sir Shagwin…!”
Sword Saint Shagwin.
The continent’s only Grand Sword Master.
transcendent at the same time.
“But how did Sir Shagwin aim his sword at the Cyrenberg Machine Tower?”
“…Because the demons are less active?”
“Is that value faded? No, even if it is, there is no need to point the sword at all, right? Besides, demon lords are still crouching on the Arcana Continent…”
Amid the pouring concerns.
Shagwin twisted the corner of his mouth crookedly.
“I hate noise.”
Suaaaagh!
Then he swung his sword without hesitation.
Shagwin’s sword cut through the air.
Koo Goo Goo!
Then the Kürnberg machine tower began to crumble.
Both sides of the work.
It had collapsed miserably, spilling countless gears like blood.
An unreal sight.
Knock!
That transcendent force was Antonium, who turned Shagwin into an enemy.
Even those who were in solidarity with him were shocked.
However, the Machine Tower was neither shocked nor agitated.
last minute.
What the mechanical tower stored in its memory was just Shagwin’s words.
-“Is this a machine that goes around doing those useless things?”
the devil’s nemesis.
A demon hunter who sees even extinct demons again.
Because it was a decisive battle weapon that inherited the pride of Akkshan.
There must be a reason for saying demon hunting is useless. The last demon hunter. I hope you can see through Shagwin’s intentions….
Kung!
.
.
.
I looked at the messages that came to mind one after another.
[Quest: Futile]
Shagwin considered hunting demons futile.
Talk to Shagwin and
determine the truth of the action.
—Encounter with Shagwin. (In progress)
Okay, let’s think rationally.
Even if the content is second, I was prepared.
Like I said, am I an experienced person?
Akshan tradition.
It was expected that he would carry on the quests left by other demon hunters.
…but what is this scale?!
First of all, the quest wasn’t one.
[Main Quest: Warring States Period]
No, it’s a main quest all of a sudden.
I love Grandfel.
I couldn’t help but resent this guy’s cubism.
‘Really, the words have become a seed!’
If I had yielded a hundred times and my condition was fine, I might have welcomed it.
It’s a main quest.
Unlike the World Quest, there is no relevant information to the extent that players are divided into pros and cons as to whether or not it exists.
even.
“Is it a story that even those who search for the Creator’s fragments do not know?”
…The bravado is still the same even in this situation, Grandfel.
To put it plainly, it meant that there was no specific information about the main quest in AAU. But the system never lies.
Besides, it’s very plausible, right?
‘It’s a romance, a player should have it once.’
If it’s a quest that allows you to become the emperor of an empire.
Indeed, it wouldn’t be enough to call it a main quest.
But like I said, the problem is my condition.
My nose is three, but what do I do when a quest pops up!!
main quest?
Akshan Quest?
all good this
But before that, the first thing to do was to release the effect of the [Transcendentalist], the shimmering circle. Yes, Grand Fel. It means that you have to follow the ‘procedure’ that you value so much.
Yes, because I listened carefully.
‘Demon hunting is useless.’
Sword Saint.
At the same time, the only grand sword master on the continent, Shagwin.
I must have smelled something unpleasant from the appearance of Shagwin left behind by the Kirnberg Mechanical Tower.
Maybe it has something to do with the devil.
‘Well, I wish it was just an old woman.’
In any case, in order to carry out Akkshan’s quest, he had to meet Shagwin.
Now that [Man.Tong.Ji] has lost its effect, the only way to meet Shagwin is to rely on the coincidence of the rift. If by any chance they meet by coincidence…
‘There is no way we can avoid a collision once.’
Can the world’s Grand Fel just pass by?
Shagwin smashed the intact mechanical tower.
For Granfell, it’s like destroying a comrade.
So I recited coldly.
“I will strictly hold you accountable for careless actions.”
So even more.
One way or another, the circle has to be resolved.
It would be possible to mix words only if they were at least in the same class as the transcendental ones.
but this moment.
Above all else, there was a different idea.
Antonium.
The emperor who made a bitter expression on the castle wall.
It was Harkon, who was the emperor’s right-hand man.
‘If Harkon finds out about this…’
Harkon will do anything to kill the emperor.
I will move to save Antonium.
Then, what will the [Main Quest] be like?
I looked at the quest goal.
—Capture Antonium. (Optional)
– Defend Antonium. (Optional)
A quest goal that selects a faction like [Battlefield Quest].
I calmly assessed the strength of both sides.
In siege warfare, the defensive side is basically advantageous.
Besides, it was Antonium that did not collapse even in countless demonic attacks. Such Antonium also gradually reached its limit, and the number of besieged forces was also considerable.
Besides, I had to see it with my own two eyes.
Sword Saint Shagwin’s overwhelming force…!
It’s the law to see as much as you know anything.
Could it be that I too have risen to the level of swordsmanship?
I could see how absurd Shagwin’s swordsmanship was.
‘The durability of the Kürnberg Machine Tower is considerable.’
[The pentagram of pure knowledge].
Thanks to that, I’m the one who knows everything about what minerals the Kürnberg Machine Tower is made of.
It was a mechanical tower made of precious minerals that could not be compared to the walls of the capital city.
‘Because I cut that machine tower like tofu.’
More than Harkon.
It’s a state that I can’t get past as of now.
So from a very player’s point of view.
There was no chance of winning for the Imperial Emperor.
Even if an angry Harkon joins in, the outcome won’t change.
So if you choose Mercury.
The main quest would have failed terribly.
By the way.
“I cannot fathom your feelings, Lord Harkon.”
I.
Grandfell.
Since when did you make a rational decision?
Yes everything according to pride.
The heavy pride in my chest was speaking.
“But one thing seems certain.”
I mumbled.
“Without a single person missing.”
What about driving out the emperor and becoming the new emperor?
I mean, such children.
Didn’t you just hide away and stay still until the devil ravaged the continent?
It might be the influence of the days when arcana was just a game after yielding a hundred times.
Just like the magic tower that was tied up with too much power.
But even if I tried to understand, I couldn’t understand.
After all, the Mage Tower broke the contradiction and changed.
Besides, who
No, I want to die, so you think I faced a high-ranking demon king because the demon king was not enough?!
“Everything is completely unqualified.”
So, this was another match.
“Shagwin, you are no different.”
The pride of Grandfell.
And I, Lee Ho-yeol, felt a combination of resentment.
There was no hesitation.
My eyes flickered.
—Capture Antonium. (Failure)
– Defend Antonium. (In progress)
Sword Saint?
The Continent’s Only Grand Sword Master?
You are definitely a great name.
However, if this is Lee Myung-min, I won’t lose.
infinitely deep darkness.
A ray of light in the darkness.
Even the evil dragon hunter!
‘Damn it, the shame is doubled because I said it with my own mouth.’
But apart from Yi Myung, I have nothing to bow down to, right?
Yes, just like Shagwin, I was a [Transcendentalist].
Even if it’s half a penny with the effect sealed anyway.
So what I did was simple.
I
got up from my seat and looked out the window of my office.
…must be nurtured, elixir.

Private room.
Elsidore opened the door to the private room and walked through the golden palace. The destination was, of course, a flower garden. Seeing Elsidore, the servants of the golden palace whispered.
“…Does something seem good to you?”
“Shh, be careful! I’m afraid you won’t hear.”
“It’s the same for me, but isn’t it amazing?”
After being imprisoned in a private room in the Golden Palace.
Elsidore’s face was always dead.
To the point where the elf’s sculpture-like appearance faded.
It was because it was Elsidore who always shot only murderous eyes.
“But I heard he was laughing in the private room too!”
Elsidore’s face changed.
Why?
There was only one thing I could think of.
“…Since we stopped by the flower garden, right?”
It was.
Elsidore changed after he started managing Hoyeol’s flower garden.
The servants nodded loudly.
“As expected, elves are kind to nature!”
“…Could it be that the sudden creation of a flower garden in the private room was for the sake of the elves? It seems to be right, doesn’t it? You’re not the kind of person who would do that!”
“You seem blunt, but you are thoughtful?”
Prick——
The elf’s large ears twitched.
What does that child care about?
How considerate is the child who dared to make me like this?
Elsidore quickly gnashed his teeth.
“…I will definitely kill you.”
However, the effect of [Hierarchy of Blessing] is still active.
Contrary to his solemn promise, Elsidore had no choice but to take care of the garden with all his heart.
“That’s funny.”
Why did Elsidore regain his smile?
It was simple.
Because what Elsidore spilled was a mockery.
“He pretended to be proud and did everything he could.”
It’s insignificant that you’re laboriously watering a flower garden like this. It’s insignificant like a bug. Elsidore was regaining his self-esteem by chewing on the heat in the flower garden.
“What a pointless effort.”
day.
“What would change if I watered it?”
and another day
“I want to show Sisley’s flower garden to a cheeky fellow.”
Whoop whoop.
It was a time when Elsidore’s expression was getting brighter day by day.
exactly four days later.
Entering the garden, Elsidore’s face turned pale.
“?”
In the few days when I couldn’t look closely because I was laughing, cursing, and enjoying gossip, the flowers in the garden had grown incomparably larger than before.
Elsidore muttered.
“…How?”
in just four days.
Those insignificant flowers.
More than Sisley’s flowers that have lived for eons.
Is it possible to radiate a large, splendid and profound energy?
