Chapter 379. Maybe it’s enough for
me and you to change the battleground for the battle against the devil.
To the Demon World, which is neither the Arcana Continent nor reality. In fact, it is quite natural. If you ask why they choose their king from someone else’s hometown, they won’t have anything to say.
The problem is the madman who would do such a thing.
Although it was about whether it existed in the Arcana continent and in reality.
Because of this, Marcelo was clearly surprised.
“What do you mean by entering the demon realm?”
It’s because Marcelo in reality didn’t witness it.
-“I thought you were really disappearing beyond the demon realm?”
The moment I lost my mind
Grandfell’s steps toward the Behemoth’s Mouth, which leads to the Demon Realm. In the first place, Grandfel’s destination was the Demon World. Buer, the high-ranking demon king, and Discus, the usurper, only met by chance in the process.
‘The two of them didn’t fill the castle of Grandfel.’
A price for a lost ray of light.
At that time, Granfell was really ready to take down the entire demon realm.
Probably because of that experience.
I was able to change my mind easily.
“We can’t give up our hometown just to play the devil.”
A shrimp back bursts in a whale fight.
The reality ahead of the battle for the demon king and the position of the Arcana continent cannot be better expressed than that. That’s why I’m going to move the place where the whale fight takes place to the demon realm.
Then wouldn’t the devil’s back explode instead of the shrimp’s back?
‘Because I became the bait.’
As I said, my position in the fight against the demon king is unrivaled. It doesn’t mean that it is uniquely strong. It means that it is certain that he will receive more passionate attention and challenges than any other high-ranking demon king.
‘Because it will look the most easygoing.’
He is the lowest-ranking demon king who has just ascended the throne.
Even if I change my stance, the country will target me first.
Such an appetizing demon king.
What will happen if you show up in the demon realm with your own feet?
Marcelo answers slowly.
“…Sir, you will be attacked by numerous challengers. If the Lord sets foot in the Demon Realm. There may be no reason for demonic beings to cross over to the Arcana continent through the mouth of the Behemoth. There would be no reason for that.”
But that expression couldn’t be brighter.
“…But is that really your great will?”
I nodded.
“Yes.”
I know what your concerns are.
In fact, I was also very worried.
The demon realm must also be a completely different world. The [Last Adventurer] effect, which is valid in the Arcana continent, also seems to be absent. If I die in the Pandemonium, I really won’t be able to get a corpse…
Because I’ve been thinking about all sorts of things.
But no matter how I thought about it, this was for the best.
This time, I wasn’t swayed by the pride of Grandfel.
Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces.
It was the decision made by Lee Ho-yeol, who had accepted the position.
Marcelo raised an eyebrow.
“Then I will not dissuade you any longer.”
Then immediately think of the next number.
‘It’s good because the public and private affairs are clear.’
Because of this aspect of Marcelo, I may be the first to discuss all important matters with him. Marcelo was hiding his expression and was faithful to the plan.
“As you know, the most important thing before entry is information. In that sense, the Demon Realm is bound to be dangerous.”
devildom.
It was considered like a legend before the demons appeared in earnest. It’s a story from when Arcana was just a game. To put it in terms of the game system…
‘It means that only rice cakes were thrown.’
Like a certain NPC found a devil-type monster imp.
Like being possessed by a demon that has lost its way.
Rumors like that even reached Akkshan.
‘Because there was definitely such a story in the Akkshan Quest.’
Marcelo continues bitterly.
“Looking back, the Mage Tower at the time was arrogant. I didn’t even think of looking at the threat looming on the Arcana Continent in order to pursue the faking truth.”
What he meant was simple.
It means that there is no information about the Pandemonium in the Magic Tower. However, the continent of Arcana was large and it seemed that there was at least one person who was wary of the demon realm early on. Marcelo spoke of such a being.
“Lorentsk sent a letter to the Mage Tower.”
Lorentsk.
How can you have that name?
Every time he visited the Explorers’ League, the name he saw and heard was Lorentsk. Infernal fire required to activate [Keep Akk’shan]. [Hell’s Torch], which burns with such hell fire, was the item that Lorentsk had been collecting.
I answered.
“You mean the romantic explorer.”
“As expected, the Lord knew him too! That’s right. Lorentsk, a romantic explorer, also showed interest in the Pandemonium from an early age.”
self.
As Marcelo lightly snapped his fingers, magic shook his office. Papers on the desk. It took a while for the books on the bookshelf to shake. A faded piece of paper flew lightly between Marcelo and me.
flutter.
“And this was Lorentsk’s letter.”
The angle of the arm that is upright even when picking up a piece of paper.
I was startled as I read it with a calm expression.
This… it’s not just a warning.
──────
The Book of Demon World
──────
Marcelo nodded.
“That’s right. Lorentsk, the romantic explorer. He was aware of the demon realm at an early stage to write a short memoir. That would mean that you have experienced the Demon Realm.”
Its content was concise. It was full of descriptions of the scenery related to the demon realm, but the lack of complicated modifiers rather added credibility. The only problem was that it cut off halfway through.
“He wanted to borrow the power of the Mage Tower as proof of his experiences. Is the purpose of exploring the demon world more deeply, or did you want to confirm the danger? I don’t know why, but… Of course, his request was not granted.”
Marcelo added.
“By the way, Senior Bensh William volunteered, but the leadership did not allow it. It’s not that Mr. Banshi was unreliable… It must have been the influence of the devil worshippers.”
…is it?
If it wasn’t for Banshee, I wondered if permission would not have been given if another senior had volunteered. Because it wasn’t important. didn’t come out of my mouth.
“I am just very sorry. If the Lorenzk Mage Tower had built up a relationship with him, it would have been a great help to the current Lord… but this must also be due to the lack of the Mage Tower.”
Marcelo was only half right.
Lorentsk, who is said to have stepped on the Demon Realm.
He will be of great help to me ahead of entering the Demon Realm.
But there is no need to feel sorry.
Well, Marcelo wouldn’t know.
I witnessed through messages.
Disappeared beings spit out by evil omens.
Buffs being applied to Arcana Continent with their return.
in the middle of it.
[The missing romantic explorer Lorentsk has returned to the Arcana continent. The knowledge of a romantic explorer who wanted to end her secluded life for dramatic survival enriches the Arcana continent. : Lorentsk, a romantic explorer, wanders the continent and preaches knowledge.]
The name of Lorentsk.
“Belatedly, it was already too late when I tried to inquire about Lorentsk. Even if I traced his handwriting and mana with magic, I couldn’t find a single trace of him.”
Marcelo groaned.
“Considering the rumors surrounding him, it would be even more strange to think he is still alive. I feel like I’ve brought out some kind of story. False expectations only make your head dizzy…”
“No, it’s not false expectations. Marcelo.”
once deleted.
Lorentsk disappeared from Arcana Continent after being swallowed by the evil omen.
Because it meant that he had returned to the Arcana continent.
“Isn’t that an empty expectation sir?”
It’s just the Grandfel way of speaking.
There was no way I could explain the story in detail.
I had no choice but to speak boldly this time.
“Because I just brought Lorentsk back to life.”
“You bring it back to life. Are you sure you are talking about resurrection?”
…There is a certain degree to grandiose packaging.
That’s not to say it’s completely wrong.
It was best for me to just stay still.
Thanks to this, Marcelo was free to stretch his magical guesses.
“no way…! Did you even reverse death with reversal magic? Looking at the sutra, I realize it again. As expected, the pagoda owner’s seat should go to you, not me…!!”
Click.
‘Now I’m doing it, even the miracle of resurrection with reverse magic?’
I thought as I put down the teacup. It might be more difficult to remove my bubble than to ask about Lorentsk, who is wandering the vast Arcana continent for some reason….
*
A small town that collapsed in the devil’s attack.
Men are sitting in a pub that has been roughly dusted off. Their appearance is different. Not to mention the clothes, I couldn’t see people living in the same time zone.
A gruff voice resounds.
“Even though we live in different times, aren’t we from the same boat? Hahaha! It’s the same as not having a rat. Let’s get along well!”
They were all people who came out of bad omens.
Among them were those who had no place to lean on.
someone spat out bitterly.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would not have run away from that war. I didn’t even think about it.”
“Hey, do you really have to break the mood like that?”
“I’m sorry. I did it because I was jealous, because I was jealous…”
Everything is relative.
A miserable empire for them.
Like them, it came out of the bad omen.
Even those who were not alone were objects of envy.
“It sucks.”
In order to control such emotions, sometimes you need someone to vent your anger on.
The men pour out the knowledge of the Arcana continent they know.
“Isn’t that more absurd than that? It was the Seric Rose family that unified the Arcana continent. Even when I was alive. So, even in the days when he wasn’t swallowed by the bad omen, Seric Rose was the nobility of the outskirts…!”
“An era where dragons fly. The last days are like this…”
“More than anything else, I was surprised by the news of Akkshan. The world’s Akkshan disappeared from the continent overnight. Isn’t that absolutely impossible? That’s what Akshan is…”
Then.
The men’s eyes all turned to the corner.
There was an annoying sound from earlier.
creaking.
The sound of sharp nibs scratching paper.
“What is that bastard?”
It was a youthful young man who was writing something nonstop in the corner. As I said before, the people who gathered were in a very bad mood. I just needed someone to express my feelings to.
“Hey, what are you writing about?”
creaking.
No answer came back. Judging from the face value, I wondered if he had just come of age. A blue-eyed little guy ignoring my words. A middle-aged man drew a forged knife and approached.
“Looking at you wandering alone, you must have jumped out of that monster’s belly too, right? Do you believe only in his origin and take my words lightly? If so, you are mistaken.”
The world is not a flower garden full of dreams and hopes. In order to survive, it is the present continent of Arcana that has to face ugliness. The middle-aged man glanced at the crowd behind him.
‘More than anything else, I shouldn’t look down on them.’
hooked
It was the moment when I put the knife on the wooden table.
The silent young man opened his mouth.
“Between being born in the same boat on the same day.”
“…what?”
“Certainly there is romance in that expression.”
Having said that, the man raised his head.
“?!”
The man who was threatening was taken aback.
‘…What are these pupils?’
It was because the young man’s eyes were overly clear.
As if the black eyes contained the Milky Way in the night sky.
Seeing you face to face gives me goosebumps.
With those eyes, he calmly asks.
“May I borrow that expression? As a matter of fact, the text I am writing right now will not be a novel of the Arcana Continent, but will be a history book.”
“…what what?”
“You think it’s a bluff? Okay, then I will recite a verse.”
A middle-aged man exchanges glances with the crowd.
He is a very dangerous guy even if it is dangerous to just say what he has to say regardless of threats. The clear-eyed madman must be talking about a guy like this.
nod
The group nodded and started to stand up one by one.
Ignoring him, the young man continued talking.
Clearing his throat with a clearing of his throat.
“Kuhm! It was the moment when the Arcana continent fell into infinitely deep darkness. The infinitely deep darkness set off towards the Demon Realm. The king of corpses howled. You, infinitely deep darkness, why do you want to swallow even the demon world!”
…I don’t know what infinitely deep darkness is.
A story that is not burdensome just to hear.
You were doing well in writing.
That’s why he’s definitely a madman.
It was a moment when the men made meaningful movements.
The young man’s clear eyes sank.
“It’s very exciting from this point onwards… but it’s a pity. You guys don’t have a corner to listen to seriously. It doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t understand, I’ll definitely pay for the citation.”
At the same time, something flashed in the young man’s hand.
“Ouch!!”
Except for the youth.
All of them were scattered on the floor in agony.
Did they pay for the quotation?
Literally just holding your breath.
Shuk.
The young man didn’t care.
As if nothing had happened.
I sat down and picked up my feather pen again.
If the main character of the work being written hears it.
“The infinite depth of darkness has risen to the throne of the Ten. No, isn’t the expression too boring? You can’t feel the romance, it’s romance! Let’s see, the infinite depth of darkness has reached the true truth… No, even this is not enough. Wake up Lorentsk! A general expression is not enough. A more dignified, splendid, magnificent expression that no one can surpass…!!”
While reciting the fainting words…
