Episode 195. Can you follow me? (3)
A light that illuminates the darkness of Zero Mountains.
“I’m not in a situation to say this, but it’s beautiful.”
“I wasn’t the only one thinking that.”
“It’s so shiny that it makes my heart melt. It’s pretty…”
A sphere of light so bright that you can even feel its warmth.
That’s for all sorts of complicated reasons.
Hearing Ho-yeol’s name alone made Dmitry frown and blur his words.
“…What are you doing with this?”
Even when entering the portal, I was very nervous.
I didn’t show it for fear that Camilla would make fun of me.
There is no battlefield as threatening to a tanker as a forest covered with darkness.
Some monsters in the dense forest.
Because I don’t know where it will come out.
Furthermore, is this forest an ordinary forest?
It was Zero Mountains.
The days when Arcana was just a game.
It’s not even the low-level area I’ve experienced.
It is near the middle of the hill that I have never even looked at.
“Dmitry is coming.”
Rocks’ voice suddenly came out.
When I came to my senses, I saw a rabbit rushing at me.
Dmitri raised his shield.
“okay!”
thud!
A tight guard.
Still, Dmitri continued his thoughts.
If the light hadn’t brightened the darkness…
bang!
“I’m sorry…!!”
Could I have prevented this blow?
Outwardly, it was no different from an ordinary rabbit.
But on the subject of rabbits.
I could tell just by giving the players the first attack.
The fact that you shouldn’t be caught off guard by his cute appearance.
Snuggle Geek—!
A bowstring being pulled.
Camilla said with an arrow in her mouth.
“Hey, how are you, Joeu-geol? (How many good things did they eat?)”
That they survived in the environment halfway up the Zero Mountains.
That alone must be proof that he is not an ordinary rabbit.
But as I said, there was a ‘light’.
“Keep the ranks. Even if the level is high, it is a normal monster. The pattern is obvious.”
Under Rox’s leadership, the Shining skillfully dealt with the rabbits’ surprise.
Is it because of the extreme experience of dealing with demons in the rift?
If not, is it because of the light that illuminates the darkness?
Chark—
Camilla brushed her red hair up.
“I think the welcome was almost over~”
“….”
Kung.
Only then did Dmitri put down his shield without a word.
…There’s no way he could be this quiet?
Camilla, who noticed the hint, spoke up.
“What is your reaction? Not like our youngest.”
“…I don’t understand.”
“huh? what? Why again?”
“What do you think is the reason for doing this?”
Chuck—
Dmitri’s thick fingers pointed at the sphere of light.
Oh that?
Camilla grinned.
“Well, if I knew that, wouldn’t I have run out of The Shining?”
like ours.
“Camilla, I am listening.”
“omg. look at the color joke. Just kidding, Rocks.”
Camilla laughed and continued.
“Actually, why does it matter?”
“?”
“Isn’t that something new? It’s not once or twice that our commander-in-chief has said this. How many times do you think it was cumbersome and laborious? You don’t think this is the first time, Dmitry?”
Dmitri shut his mouth and searched for his memory.
‘At least level 900…’
Even that was expected a long time ago.
Dmitri was also a ranker, so he knew it well.
It takes a lot of effort to stay in place.
‘Even if I spend all my time on leveling up, it won’t be enough.’
What did Lee Ho-yeol do?
He did his best even in the cracks that were insignificant to him.
Any beings that could pose a threat to mankind, including the Demon King?
trampled from the bud
Yet, he was neither arrogant nor conceited.
He even moved the Arcana forces he had built to help the laggards grow.
It was.
[Quest: Unfinished Crusade]
The quest that popped up in front of me was proof of that consistency. All
of a sudden—
Dmitri shook his head.
“…I was looking at the trees, not the forest.”
To look at such a man with a simple jealous gaze.
“Pretending to realize now? But it’s not cool~”
It’s cheap to hear something like that from Camilla today.
slap!
Dmitri patted his cheek with both hands.
“Okay, from now on I’m going to go a little more serious.”
Seeing Dmitri promise himself, Rox smiled bitterly.
‘It must be strange not to admit it at this point.’
Jesse is also not enough.
It even changed Dmitri’s free-spirited personality.
I lost completely to Lee Ho-yeol.
Rocks looked at the path of light that embroidered the mountains.
Then he raised his sword and shield.
“If it’s unfair, I have no choice but to diligently pursue it.”
“…What did you say, Rocks?”
“No, I didn’t say anything.”
Yes I am an underdog.
Even if you try to form, the fundamentals are clear.
It means that it is a hound that is good at chasing someone.
Rocks ordered the support team.
“Let’s set up the base camp closest to the portal. The monsters in the area must have been sorted out. It wouldn’t be too bad here either. Then I’ll ask you. everyone.”
“End already? ah it’s not Rocks?”
“That’s right, the man’s passion has just been ignited!”
“Of course, I have to go further, even if I show sincerity.”
It was the moment Shining was about to take a step.
Fluffy—
“?”
Spheres of light suddenly rise into the air.
“Wow what is it? Are you very pretty?”
Wait a moment to be surprised by the minister.
Sweetheart-!
The light became a ray of light and crossed the Zero Mountains.
“…!!!”
It wasn’t just Shining.
Everyone in the Zero Mountains could guess.
That there is a hot fever at the end of that beam of light.
Vision expansion skill [Eagle Eye].
Camilla, who looked around the Zero Mountains through eagle’s eyes.
She stuttered uncharacteristically.
“…Wait a minute, how high did you go up?”
[Eagle Eye] can’t even see it.
As you see.
The beam of light stretched towards the top of the mountain range.
Surprise soon turned to astonishment.
Because of the sound coming from far away.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung—!
What a loud roar.
Does sound travel this far away?
What the hell is going on up there…?
Dmitri said in a worried voice.
“…Wait a minute, if it’s near the top, isn’t it toward the dragon’s nest?”

[Rhyme baton]
[Rating: Epic]
[Restrictions: None]
[Effect: Acquires vast musical knowledge when worn, and grants buffs that match the musical knowledge to everything under the wearer’s control.] [
Description : A magic tool that has as noble an effect as its noble appearance.]
That’s right.
Along with the [Map that connects to all things] and the [Magic Eye Spyglass], the Demon King’s spoils obtained when the Demon Castle was defeated. Is it because of its effect? I was able to spit out musical terms with familiarity.
Chuck—
“Vivace.” – Flashy and fast.
But all in all, what is Vivace? Vivace!
or increasingly faster.
Or was it enough to just open it quickly?
Did you really have to put ‘gorgeous’ in a place like this, Grand Fell?
It makes me want to ask if he has lost his sense of direction after coming through the portal. That’s because the Dragon’s Nest is what you can see when you slightly raise your head…!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak-
I am.
Under the dragon’s nest, he was lavishly pouring magic.
I am sincerely concerned.
Could it be that the dragon is waking up after being so noisy?
‘How severe is the noise stress between floors?’
If I woke up, it would be natural for that anger to be directed at me.
Dealing with Shagwin in front of him was daunting, but a dragon?
I absolutely want to avoid that.
‘For that purpose.’
We have no choice but to win as quickly as possible.
It means you have to put in your energy.
Shagwin’s movements were difficult to follow with the naked eye.
However, from the moment I raised the [Rhyme Baton], I was the one who commanded the battlefield.
Yes, it was thanks to that bastard’s Vivace. Of course, the baton did not improve my physical abilities.
‘If that’s the case, it must have been an epic item.’
But that’s enough.
A light that moves swiftly according to your command.
The expression of interference in my search was no less rapid than that.
The spheres of light magic manifested as different magics and began to oppress Shagwin. Fire chills and even blinding hallucination magic.
The number of spells pouring out was hard even for me to count.
‘Is this a circle?’
It wasn’t the realm of a transcendentalist who honestly reached it.
I could feel the effect just now.
Why was Elder Yugweed so excited about his job?
however.
‘It doesn’t feel overwhelming at all.’
It must be an excessive circle for me.
However, I was using the effect of the circle freely.
no, beyond that.
I finally felt that I was pouring out ‘power’.
『Innate magical talent was enough to imitate most magic just by looking at it.』
Yes, only now that the circle has been formed.
It feels like the setting of Grandfel is exerting its own power.
Shuk—
I looked at the baton being swung indifferently.
…This makes me feel like a real conductor.
The swordsman and the continent’s only Grand Sword Master.
Shagwin is in a hurry to avoid the pouring magic.
It was like a member creaking at the pouring notes.
what did it say
Did you say it was a duet of wild heartbeats and screams?
You really have to make the words you say come true. Grand Fel.
However, it should not be overlooked.
Likewise.
No, unlike me who crossed the shortcut.
Shagwin was a transcendentalist who had reached the realm with his own power.
As if responding to my guess.
Sweet love—!
Soon, strong wind pressure bounced off the pouring magic notes.
“It’s a fucking magic tool.” The
dust
rising from the mountain range.
Shagwin appeared in it.
His pupils revealed in the lifting dust.
“And it feels damn good.”
blackened eyes.
She was telling me that Shagwin had indeed fallen into a demon.
But that pupil was shaking violently.
He couldn’t exactly make eye contact with me.
‘There’s no way that the same Transcendentalists were intimidated by force.’
If so, one reason.
As a Demon Hunter vs Demon.
It means that Shagwin and I are not in the same weight class.
‘The Demon of True Name, Shagwin. He is not the Demon King.’
It should be like a demon king.
Even among demon lords, you should have experience facing demon hunters.
To put it a little easier, you should have overcome your natural enemy relationship.
It means that they can not be shaken even in front of their natural enemies.
‘It must be similar to greed.’
The Seven Deadly Sins, greed that was reborn after taking his own life.
Although he was a colossus, he had no resistance to demon hunters. In the past, when I was much weaker than I am now, I couldn’t even resist and was thrown into hell.
Shagwin is the same case.
‘Because it hasn’t been long since I fell into a demon.’
That there is no resistance to natural enemies.
That it smells like an immature devil.
Again, that was good news for me.
So, I was able to speak confidently.
“It’s just as ugly as it looks.”
The corners of Shagwin’s mouth curled up.
“I felt it even at social events, but you have a great way of speaking. Those eyes that look down on the world are also arrogant and self-indulgent.”
Are you hot in half?
Even if you regain your youth, you can’t lie about your age.
Anyway, I thought I would hear something bitter about Grandfel.
‘I recognized Senios from the time he spoke flat to the end.’
Of course, that’s why Shagwin.
It’s not that he doesn’t deserve to be respected.
I replied.
“You are mistaken.”
“…?”
“To say that you are talking about human-to-human conversations.”
“…!”
“Could it be that you are still mistaken for being human?”
Suddenly—
Shagwin’s face contorted.
I was pretty sure about that.
‘I don’t think he really intended to fall into a demon.’
But nothing changes.
no, it’s worse
You made a deal with the devil simply to get your youth back.
Even if they were deceived by the devil, the nature of their sins is different.
Even Shagwin didn’t seem to want to object.
“I have no misunderstandings or regrets. The sound of humans crying is still clear in my ears. But what is so wrong?”
Rather, madness shone in the black pupil.
“A life that would have been overrun by the devil anyway. I just offered them as a sacrifice. What’s wrong? It’s enough of the damn devil to insult me. Shut up!”
A surge of demonic energy.
I could think of the meaning of Shagwin’s words.
In fact, the Arcana Continent was trampled on by demons.
But to me, those words were not worth hearing from Grandfel.
A cold voice escaped my lips.
“No, you just turned away.”
“…Are you ignoring me?”
“It just turned its head to achieve its ugly end.”
I have no intention of preaching, much less of listening to rationalizations.
And more than anything else, I, Granfell, have the right to say this.
Die, struggling, even for a moment.
We are the ones who brought peace to the Arcana continent.
It means you have the right to talk.
I opened my mouth slowly.
“But if that trivial excuse is the pride you’ve been carrying through.”
Then slowly put down the baton.
“I will break it with true pride.”
Yes.
This is what it is.
Granfell’s disposition to Shagwin.
I spoke.
“It is delivered to the social venues of time and space.”
“…?”
“I challenge Shagwin, the transcendent, to a duel in time and space.”
“!”
Then the view changed.
“Raise the sword. I will also raise the sword.”
Yes, the ‘new sword’.
