Episode 199. A bomb dropped on AAU,
the news of victory being handed down.
“So you want me to believe that now? again?”
Branch manager videoconference.
It wasn’t just Park Min-jae, the head of the Korean branch.
The branch managers who heard the news belatedly.
Everyone pressed their temples as if they were salty.
My head was pounding and I couldn’t stand it!
“A message from watching the duel popped up, so I agreed…”
“Then, my view suddenly changed.”
“When I opened my eyes, a magnificent Colosseum appeared…?”
“No, how can I believe this?”
The last person to lament was Park Min-jae.
“At a time like this, you want to become a player even for a day, right? Seriously, our players wouldn’t have any reason to lie about something like this…”
London Branch Manager Baker Chat.
He laughed and laughed, as if he was interested.
“According to Schraig, he said he had never seen such a splendid Colosseum before? Since the days when arcana was just a game!”
“A Colosseum built with jewels and gold…”
“Isn’t it? Even on the Arcana Continent, something like that.”
Even if you relive your days as a developer and search your memories and databases.
There was no Colosseum that matched the players’ testimonies.
No, doesn’t even the entry method make sense in the first place?
“It’s not like you’ve entered a rift or portal.”
“Yes! I just closed my eyes and opened them!”
“The speed at which time passes is also different.”
U.S. West Branch Manager.
Joshua had a conversation with Rocks and the others about it.
The duel had been going on in the Colosseum for at least tens of minutes, but when I checked the time after returning to reality, it was said that only tens of seconds had passed.
“…Alternatively, where did you go as a group?”
Anyway, damn Arcana!
When you know one, the unknown pours out.
Park Min-jae lowered his head in frustration.
Thanks to this, he lost sight of the branch heads pouring into his crown.
“But, Mr. Park.”
“I am listening. I’m not sleeping, I’m thinking.”
“Isn’t there someone you know?”
“…yes?”
Park Min-jae raised his head with a soft voice.
pouring down on him
It was the expectant gaze of the branch managers.
I could intuit.
“…Could it be that you are talking about General Manager Yusura?”
A player and head of the Yusra branch.
at the same time.
The only existence that can solve the pouring questions.
Lee Ho-yeol.
‘That’s a bit.’
But to face such a passion alone.
It was also burdensome for Park Min-jae.
So, Park Min-jae hurriedly changed the topic.
“Right. Talking about it, isn’t it great? Defeating Sword Saint Shagwin with a sword! Totally Awesome Event!!”
It must have been the effect of borrowing the words of young people.
The branch heads nodded one by one.
“Isn’t Shagwin actually an NPC designed to be defeated or confronted by players? It’s an NPC made with a high mountain that players can’t touch.”
It was.
In a way, it was the same as the magic tower.
Sword Saint.
Literally the apex of a sword.
Because it was so strong, it could not be designed to affect the Arcana continent.
It was for that reason that I put in the single-minded setting that only knew the sword.
“Considering the age in the setting… He’s also a person who would have died a natural death long ago.”
“I think we need to hear more from the players about that. There is a part that is difficult to understand right now.”
Shagwin who has regained his youth.
That alone is amazing.
After losing the duel with Ho-yeol, he became an old man again.
It was engulfed in green flames and disappeared along with the sword.
It was a mess because there were not one or two eyewitnesses.
“…But even if this is known, it must be hard to believe, right?”
No matter how many players witnessed it.
I wondered if they might have witnessed hallucinations as a group.
Isn’t that a humanly absurd story?
especially.
“Even if it’s General Manager Lee Ho-yeol…”
To think he broke the Sword Master with a sword.
As I said before, Shagwin was not designed to be defeated by players.
It was because he possessed a skill unique to his abilities that was fraudulent to the extent that players would be astonished if they found out about it.
So, there was talk about it as well.
“well. Could there have been some mistake?”
“Are you mistaken?”
“As you know, the swordsman is a character designed at the pinnacle. It means that it is made so that it cannot be defeated with a sword. So, as an old man, he was a person who would naturally leave as the arcana story progressed.”
“…That’s right.”
“Wouldn’t it be a situation where the players couldn’t make normal judgments? Why can’t you tell from the testimonials of the players too? Shagwin, who had regained his youth because the luxurious Colosseum was not enough, was engulfed in green flames as an old man again.”
…I’m glad this topic has returned.
As I listened in silence, I got a fever again.
Park Min-jae shed a rotten smile.
Joshua, do you dare to doubt our general manager?
Whenever I fart in front of you.
anyway it’s messy
Some have no pride whatsoever.
“Whoa—”
The moment when Park Min-jae’s true nature, which ran into Rayman Sean, was about to come out.
Urgent news was delivered to each branch manager.
“?”
None other than Arcana official website update news.
Someone shouted as if screaming.
“It’s not even Thursday, is it? Could it be an emergency update?!”
Fortunately, it wasn’t the worst.
What came to mind was not the update history.
Yes, one video popped up on the website.
“…Arcana official account? Raymon Shen uploaded this? Wait, Rayman posted a video? Isn’t this the first time that a post other than the update history has been uploaded?!”
“Calm down. Let’s play it for now.”
Videos shared in the branch manager’s chat room.
“…!!!”
Joshua, who was particularly talkative, kept his mouth shut.
What came to mind in the reproduced video was the Colosseum.
The appearance of Ho-yeol facing the Sword Master.
And the end of the colorful workshop.
Because Hoyeol, who defeated the Sword Saint, was standing upright.
*
Yes, it must be a hot topic.
‘Because I was surprised to see it.’
A duel with Shagwin on the official Arcana website.
It wasn’t filmed from the player’s point of view.
Angles as if cameras were pointed at them from all sides.
And even blockbuster movie-worthy editing.
There is only one person who could do something like this.
‘Raymon Sean.’
The community went wild thanks to the fact that they filmed it as if it were just an action movie.
In the scene of exchanging sums with Shagwin, isn’t it slow motion? The packaging was not enough, so he painted it even with gold lacquer.
-Is this a true story? It looks more like a swordsman than a swordsman?
-Even if I walked slowly, my
eyes couldn’t follow it
.
Well, that movement didn’t come from my swordsmanship.
Everything is Ego Sword.
[Legendary] class item.
It’s thanks to the noble iron…!
‘Anyway, I’m brazen.’
But in my face.
Because the truth couldn’t be revealed.
It wasn’t that I was surprised to see it for nothing.
The expression on his face is serious enough to be deceived even if he knows it.
Indeed, it would be fair to say that it was a duel for the position of the Sword Saint.
Click——
The teacup with the tea bag locked in it was put down.
But even if I understand
There’s no way Grandfell’s planting could be tolerated.
I quietly opened my mouth.
“Raymon Sean doesn’t deserve you.”
last minute.
The bluest sword river that Shagwin radiated.
Is it because he regained his pride?
If not, it might be because of the effect of the title [Sublime].
It is unknown to me.
But one thing is certain.
“You deserve to make his end a spectacle.”
I’m not criticizing those who cheer for victory.
They don’t know what happened between Shagwin and me, do they? They probably don’t know why the flames of hell engulfed Shagwin at the last moment. You don’t even know what hell fire is.
however.
You know everything about Rayman Shen.
Even though you know everything.
It’s because the pride of Grandfel can’t tolerate it.
“I look forward to the day when we will meet.”
I don’t know when it will be.
Are you looking forward to it too?
You’re the culprit behind everything, Rayman. You’re the one.
That means I have something to pay back.
‘Even if it wasn’t just that side.’
I didn’t have to worry about Suu Kyi!
It’s done.
Besides, I had something to check right now.
Win the duel of time and space.
Rewards given for winning.
It was a gold coin.
Exactly one hundred.
“It’s gold…”
His integrity and innocence.
I know full well that I’m not obsessed with movies of wealth and honor, Grand Fel.
But it’s not just a gold coin, so take a little patience.
[Gold coins of time and space]
[Rating: Epic]
[Restrictions: Transcendentalist]
[Effect: Can be used as currency in time and space.]
[Description: Gold coins commonly used in time and space in the realm of the transcendent.]
Gold coins of time and space.
In a word, it was the money spent in [the deceased person community] 『Time and Space』.
As for the detailed usage, I had no choice but to guess.
There was information from AAU, but you have to experience it yourself to know how it was implemented. Just like the space-time duel did.
Still, I already know how to use it at social gatherings.
“Mmm.”
Look at this.
I just skipped it because I needed it to order tea.
How important is tea time?
Of course, the victory reward did not end with gold coins.
The duel video has been uploaded to Arcana’s official website.
The resulting revenue will fall in front of me.
It was a really rich movie, so it was a useless reward for me.
‘…Let’s think of it as savings.’
If you save it, it will be useful even when you are old.
Anyway, the formal victory reward ends there.
In fact, from now on, it can be said that it is a real reward.
I confirmed the title.
[Transcendent: Your transcendent state is enough to be called a transcendent. – Current Achievement: Circle (Increases all magic power by 1000%) / Unfinished Quick Sword Skill / None / None…]
A newly emerged unfinished Quick Sword Skill in Achievement.
Yes.
This time, it was Grandfel’s talent.
Just like witnessing magic manifests itself accordingly.
He even witnessed Shagwin’s fast swordsmanship while competing.
that he eventually mastered.
‘It’s not yet finished, so the effect hasn’t been clearly stated, but…’
If you polish it.
Wouldn’t a proper effect like a circle come to mind?
It was a harvest that touched me far more than gold coins or money.
A swordsman who is no one else’s swordsmanship.
It was like learning Shagwin’s swordsmanship.
I muttered.
“I will follow you with your sword.”
You’re saying it in a noble way, Grandfel.
“Even in order to achieve true victory.”
And after all, it’s no joke, Grandfel.
What is true victory?
Riding Demon.
Of course, it means victory in the temple.
Although Shagwin was tempted, he regained his pride at the last moment. And most wicked of all, it was a demon that dug into Shagwin’s weakness and deceived him.
‘This is how you put pride on pride again…’
What do you do when you struggle 100 days?
If you can endure it, you will even put other people’s pride on it.
But like I said, everything is my karma.
Let’s think positively though.
‘…That’s right, where’s the one that isn’t stuffed on the homepage?’
An embarrassing name no matter where you put it.
[Name: Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo]
I’m glad I returned my personal information to private. Seriously….
.
.
.
The social space of space and time.
All I could see was a woman lying on the table.
…Since when has he been doing that?
The man who entered the social hall clicked his tongue.
“Does the witch earn gold coins and use them all to buy tobacco?”
“Shouldn’t you close your snout?”
“…I’m so scared I can’t even talk to you.”
Sunrise Musa.
The short black-haired man sat down.
Jinglang—
he took out a gold coin and set it down on the table.
Immediately, a glass full of water appeared out of thin air.
“nice.”
One gold coin, 『The Purified Water of the Moon』.
Scary to swallow, the fatigue of the body disappeared as if washed away.
The man inspected the social hall.
“…Witch, I always feel it. Isn’t it overspending no matter how many gold coins you buy with a tobacco made from a precious elixir in your mouth? Well, I’m not bragging about having a lot of gold coins.”
Tobacco with ten gold coins per cigarette.
It’s precious, as always.
Except for ‘The Witch of the Southern Sea’ who smokes heavily.
The other transcendents were nowhere to be seen.
The man shrugged.
“It seems everyone is busy in many ways.”
Looking at the situation on the Arcana continent, it’s unlikely.
Now, transcendentalists.
It’s time for each of us to express our will.
In that sense, it was surprising.
“I can’t see any inspiration for some reason.”
Shagwin.
Unlike other transcendentalists.
An old man who only pursues his own sword.
“I wanted to ask you something.”
Whether Shagwin regained his youth or whatever.
It didn’t matter to the man.
After all, they had no interest in each other except for the discussion about the sword.
A piece of parchment came into the man’s field of vision.
Glancing—
the man glanced at the woman who was strewn with tobacco.
“You didn’t check this either. Shall I look?”
It’s not uncommon for news to arrive at a social gathering place.
I can’t even answer because that’s a complete addiction, so I’m addicted.
The man shook his head and unfolded the parchment.
A wave of agitation appeared on the man’s face.
“…Death in a space-time duel?”
…Shagwin’s inspiration?
I was able to find out because I had a few conversations.
Shagwin that he was a swordsman of considerable skill.
Wasn’t he originally a transcendent like himself?
“…What kind of guy are you?”
The man confirmed the other person’s name.
And I was startled.
It’s a name I’ve never heard of before.
So, only one person can guess.
“Are you new?”
It was.
The name of the man that was not revealed during the performance evaluation.
It was written on parchment.
The man muttered the name.
“Grand Fell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.”
“…?!”
It was then.
rattle!
The witch, who had been sprawled out next to her, straightened her body.
Even if it wasn’t so, he opened his bitter eyes even more sharply.
said to the man
“In other words.”
“…What are you saying all of a sudden?”
“Say that name again.”
…name?
Didn’t you listen properly because it was long?
The man murmured again.
“Grand Fell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.”
Then the witch repeated.
“Grand Fell… Cloudy…? The Big Cloudy family…?!”
