Episode 187. It’s the same.
A loud voice comes and goes.
“What the hell is this decision for!”
“Didn’t everyone see it? It means that Antonium has reached its limit. To retreat at the moment when the fall is right in front of you!!”
“Lord Shagwynn, you will have to take responsibility for your decision.”
Shagwin fell silent at the gaze.
There was no time to worry about the sanctification of the feudal lords.
in my head.
Because the afterimage of the silver-haired man, Ho-yeol, did not leave.
‘I couldn’t guess anything.’
The social space of space and time.
Because of the discipline, it was only possible to infer information from the opponent’s appearance.
What was the appearance of such Ho-yeol?
Let alone fancy equipment, including weapons.
Even that outfit was the first time I had seen it in my life.
‘The highest possibility is a wizard.’
Magic is the magician’s weapon.
Magic tools can amplify the power of magic, but such magic tools are rare.
Even that was possessed as if monopolized by the Mage Tower.
‘But that body…’
It was overtrained to be called the body of a wizard.
Shagwin himself was also recognizable because he was a warrior.
From broad shoulders to forearms.
The developed muscles were clearly a sign that he had wielded a weapon.
‘…What if it’s a magic swordsman?’
There was no reason to be surprised by the magic swordsman.
From the magician to the magician.
Since ancient times, there have been those who have mastered both magic and martial arts.
The reason Shagwin was startled was that he had reached the level of a ‘transcendentalist’ by choosing the private path rather than the right path.
‘It’s a state of being that one wave can’t reach it.’
Usually, when you try to catch it all, you miss it all.
Just looking at the fact that there are no magic swordsmen or magic spears that are widely known on the Arcana continent, that is an obvious fact. That’s why I couldn’t believe it.
If only I hadn’t run into Ho-yeol at a social gathering.
As I was thinking about it, I heard a voice.
“Are you listening Lord Shagwin!”
Who dares to shout at whom?
Shagwin could not restrain himself from living in the moment.
Immediately, the tumultuous place became quiet.
“…Ouch!!”
Among the feudal lords, there were some who had never held a sword. Because of that, those who had untrained bodies foamed and fainted.
The responses of the rest were not significantly different.
“…Sir Shagwin. What is this?”
I was barely holding on to my senses, but that was all.
Shagwin silently fiddled with the quicksword Atlas Sword.
Ummmm—
Then the seat vibrates.
Their faces turned white in a cold sweat.
I couldn’t even utter the right words.
“Billion billion.”
This is the existence of the transcendental being himself.
This is a normal reaction.
Seeing the scene that had soon become devastated, Shagwin came to his senses.
‘Oops…’
What did I do?
“Heh heh heh heh.”
Among the numerous feudal lords.
Only Duke Ymir was holding onto his spirit.
Shagwin told him.
“Ymir, don’t be angry with me.”
“What is that…?”
“Because the day will come when you will understand later too.”
As far as I know, it is visible.
Even if I explained Ho-yeol’s powerlessness, it would be obvious that he would not understand and force himself. Shagwin was speechless.
You don’t have to keep your seat in the yard where everyone fainted.
Shagwin rose from his seat.
“Let’s make this expedition to Antonium a non-event.”
“…!”
Duke Ymir widened his eyes.
I shouted at the back of Shagwin’s head.
“Master Shagwin!”
“?”
“Who’s going to do something that didn’t exist!”
I gave up a lot for the Antonium expedition.
But now you’re going to do something that didn’t exist?
Ymir stood up on wobbly legs.
“Shagwin, I only believed in your words and ignored even the people of the territory. You said that you had no choice but to sacrifice a cow for the sake of the future, and you kept repeating to yourself that you have endured this far!”
“so.”
“So what? Didn’t I ask? What the hell is the reason! Didn’t you need a lot? If you had stepped out, no, even if you hadn’t retreated, Antonium would have been…!”
if you step out
As I said, if I went out.
what would have changed
Shagwin asked himself.
no, nothing changes
More than anyone else, Shagwin was aware of himself.
The moment I met Ho-yeol.
– “Why do you smell like an ugly devil?”
thump thump.
Like Ymir’s heart at this moment.
Because his heart was beating wildly.
It was the first emotional fear that Shagwin, who was born with the talent of a swordsman, felt in his life.
The corners of Shagwin’s mouth twisted.
“Ymir. Please shut up.”
“Shut up, refrain from such words…!”
Shuk—
Before he could finish his words, a quicksword was unleashed.
A
solid line was drawn on the nape of Yumir’s neck.
“Ughhhhh!!”
Ymir hurriedly grabbed his own neck.
oh are you still alive?
My throat was cut, how?
Poof—
Shagwin said as he brushed the blood off his sword.
“Considering my misjudgment, I will go over to one wound.”
“…!”
It was only then that Ymir realized how shallow the wound on his neck was.
At best, to the point of bitterness.
That’s why I couldn’t help but be shocked.
“How can you have such ridiculous skills!”
Ymir cried.
He clasped his bloody hands together and bowed his head.
A desperate voice came out of his mouth.
“…Master Shagwin. No, swordsman! Please think again. I can’t go back to the territory like this. At this rate, I have no face to face the people trampled by demons!”
It was an emotional appeal.
However, there was no change in Shagwin’s expression.
No, his face grew even colder.
“It’s not even funny, Ymir.”
“How can you say that!”
“Stop the fucking pretense.”
Knock!
“Ouch.”
Shagwin grabbed Ymir’s hair and lifted it up.
“At the point of ignoring you, you are no different from the devil. you know How did your precious people die?”
“…What are you talking about, Master Shagwin?”
“You are my accomplice.”
It was.
-“What did you exchange for that youth?”
the lives of others.
people’s lives.
traded my life for it.
– “Sword Saint. No, you swordsman uglier than the devil.”
That’s absolutely right.
At the point of being born as a human and committing such atrocities, even if I was called uglier than the devil, I would not be able to refute it.
But don’t be mistaken.
Shagwin’s pupils turned black.
“Hypocrite Ymir, you are no different from me.”
puck!
Shagwin threw Ymir away.
Then I looked at the quiet hall.
I must have come to my senses from the turmoil.
Nevertheless, he declared to those who were holding their breath like rats.
“I have changed my mind.”
“…?”
“It would be better not to leave any regrets.”
“…!!!”
There was no bird to react.
Pleasant swords were rampant.
A beat later, a fountain of blood gushed out.
A clap—
Shagwin, who drew the sword within seconds, looked at the horror.
I should have been appalled at his own cruelty.
Why?
I didn’t feel the slightest remorse.
Because that’s not enough.
“!”
Vitality was seething in the body.
As if the blood and terror that filled the seat had become the elixir of legend.
Shagwin took a deep breath.
Also, there was no smell of blood.
It tasted like a well-ripe wine.
Shagwin opened his mouth.
“Thinking about it again, you are right.”
i’m the devil
I don’t know if I’ve become even uglier than that.
But I won’t regret it.
if you can be strong
It doesn’t matter if it becomes an uglier existence than this.
I didn’t choose the wrong path.
However, Shagwin’s ecstasy did not last long.
It was because he soon realized his situation.
‘Even after going through this kind of metamorphosis, did I feel fear?’
Just by making eye contact with the man.
It’s a difference that really can’t even be measured.
Quickly, Shagwin gritted his teeth.
“I will become stronger. Even to cut you down.”
*
Ugh, so weak.
It’s so insignificant, Hoyeol.
Can you defeat Shagwin like this!!

Office of Yusra Kingdom.
Tuk—
I came down from the golden iron bar.
Damn I have no feeling in my forearms.
However, I raised my mana without even flinching.
“Somehow, it seriously spoils the aesthetics.”
Soon, 『Reversal Magic』 manifested.
The iron bar has returned to its original gold ornaments.
Even if it was gold that was common in Yusra Kingdom.
A pull-up on an iron bar made of pure gold.
‘I’m really nervous and I can’t even think about it.’
Apart from integrity and innocence, how big is your liver? Grandfel.
fortunately that
The [Blessing of the First World Tree] was in effect.
The numb forearm quickly regained its vitality.
“As expected, it’s easy.”
If it wasn’t for the vitality regeneration effect, you’d be lying down with body aches long ago, but you’re good at making loud noises, Grandfel. Although the shackles of the circle were released, my routine did not change much.
I was suffering from class quests like now.
I gave water to the elixir field.
I was looking at Yusra Kingdom’s business.
Finally, attend the temple meeting.
‘I’m just missing the senior job.’
Besides, can the pride of Grandfel tolerate skipping? Soon, he will faithfully return to the Mage Tower to retrieve the chief’s work entrusted to Marcelo.
In that sense, the remaining few days were extremely precious to me!
So, he hurriedly sent a letter to Fabian, the leader of the Explorers’ League, requesting a rental of the [Hell’s Torch], and the Explorers’ League readily accepted the request and took the [Hell’s Torch] in their inventory.
[Hell’s Torch]
[Rating: Unique]
[Restrictions: None]
[Effect: Same effect as Hell’s Fire]
[Description: A torch burning with Hell’s Fire. It is a treasure of the Explorers’ League, said to have been left by Lorenzk, an explorer who pursued romance in the distant past.]
Fabian handed over the torch and said:
-“I’m glad that the magic tools of the Federation can be of help to you.”
His title of commander-in-chief is really…
Anyway, I’m more happy and thankful for Billy.
Let’s just imagine that there was no [Hell’s Torch].
The moment the gates of hell closed, the exchange with Akkshan must have been cut off. I didn’t know how to open the gates of hell, nor even know where they were.
A class-specific skill that I barely acquired.
It is said that [Keep Akkshan] almost turned into a gyereuk.
I muttered while reading the description of the torch.
“Your pride in Lorentsk has led to a torch.”
…just say thank you.
Why does the conclusion always come down to pride? Grandfel.
In any case, I did not delay.
I immediately took out a torch from my inventory and held it up.
After that, I activated [Keep Akkshan] on my mouth.
“Answer me Akshan.”
I didn’t have to say anything when using skills or magic
.
[The relationship with Akkshan also applies to the effect.]
[The Akkshan Demon Hunter responds to your call.]
Roaring!
emerging message.
At the same time, the flames of hell sway wildly.
Anyway, it was indeed Akkshan.
‘The relationship and influence must have increased compared to then.’
In front of the high-ranking demon lord, Gamigin, they were the demon hunters who appeared in a rumble—with a relationship and a nabal.
It was just one person now.
Where is the one though?
If you think of those unkind personalities.
Even this should be appreciated.
By the way…
a black outfit clinging to the body.
Hood worn deeply.
There were even weapons hanging all over the body.
Yes, I fell in love with that look!
But after growing up, there is no outfit that looks as inefficient as that one.
No, that’s not what I’m saying because I can’t die in a formal way. Isn’t that excessive in a different way from me?
‘You’re going to get stabbed by your own weapon while moving?!’
However, that has always been my heart.
Besides, there was nothing good about going against Akshan-senpai’s planting right now.
Because I had to find out and learn.
What is the source of that vast bowl!
I dared to predict.
Even if there are many classes in the arcana, a class that can kill a level 900 named monster with a single hit? That there would be none other than demon hunters.
At first, I thought it was because of his high stats.
But no matter how much you think about it, does that make sense?
Why, even just now, the goal of the physical fitness class quest was rising exponentially. Even considering my pitiful stats…
[Ability]
Strength: 112 / Agility: 124 / Magical Power: 512 / Luck: 12 / Aesthetic: Medium
You can see how daunting a goal it is even now. In order to catch a level 900 named monster with normal hits, you’ll need to have at least 900 strength and agility.
If you convert that into training amount…
isn’t that a digestible goal?
what is the day
Even if you spend an entire week on fitness quests.
It will be difficult to achieve even one goal.
So I thought to ask the parties.
What the hell is the secret of that huge bowl of stats!
“…”
But somehow it doesn’t seem easy from the start… The demon hunter looked around the office
and
was clearly disappointed.
I was also a demon hunter, so I could guess.
It was clear that he was disappointed that he didn’t have a devil.
‘It’s really consistent, Akkshan.’
No excessive friendship between demon hunters.
Are you really trying to keep the rules even if you fall into hell?
“Unfortunately, there are no demons here.”
Even in my words.
“…”
There was no sign of listening, let alone answering.
No, that’s not enough, so what are you doing all of a sudden?
All you have to do is lie down on the floor.
Doing some push-ups?!
“I guess that means we don’t need to talk.”
Doing physical training in someone else’s office.
Don’t accept such rudeness, Grandfel.
That’s not what I wanted…!
However, my cry is not worth it.
“Whoa—”
I ended up carrying out a physical training quest with the demon hunter I had struggled to summon. Even while my body was screaming, I couldn’t erase my anxiety.
‘Really, really?’
Is it true that you just recklessly raised your stats through training?!
Really, there are all these classes!!
I wanted to scream because it was unfair.
Grandfel’s competitive spirit was ignited.
I did push-ups non-stop.
[The conditions have been met.]
[Reward will be given.]
The goal has been achieved long ago.
I couldn’t stop.
Why?
Senior…
No, not even senior.
Because that rude demon hunter didn’t stop.
I open my mouth wide open.
“…it seems like they’re finally doing something.”
Don’t be bluffing when you can’t speak properly, Grandfel.
It was a time when I literally bent my arms with evil.
In an instant, the eyes spun around.
He abused his body like that.
I’m finally passing out
Still, I expected that I would be able to rest thanks to my fainting.
It wasn’t.
Because it was a message that came to mind.
[Additional rewards are given for training beyond the limit.]
Wait…?
found.
The secret of the demon hunter’s transcendent stats!
