Episode 382. After all, we are
the Arcana Continent.
Iron Castle No.
The expression on the faces of the allies of the temple was gloomy.
“I’m going to step into that nasty mouth.”
distant ground.
A huge hole that exudes a strong presence.
The Chain Walker looked at the Behemoth’s mouth.
After Ho-yeol announces that he intends to enter the Demon Realm.
He was about to return to his hometown, the world of adventurers.
Chain Walker asked the adventurers.
“What do you guys think?”
The answer came right back.
“Of course I have to follow.”
Nam Tae-min just spit it out as a representative. The opinions of others were not very different. It’s also a new thing to say about the resolution. It was because there had never been a time when I had not risked my life following Ho-yeol.
However, Hisagi added the truth.
“If we deserve it.”
Even so, he never moved from the same position as Ho-yeol.
I just followed the traces left by Ho-yeol.
Just chasing after it was so overwhelming.
Skip.
Walsweil, who had been crouching down unexpectedly, stretched his back. His blunt tone was dwarf-like, but the meaning behind his words was not cold.
“under! Who can come after him? Even I can’t get enough of it. Can’t you tell just by looking at my appearance now? Wallswail is said to be the best blacksmith in Dwarven history. I was afraid that the commander-in-chief would produce results that were not to his liking. You’re restless!”
Wallsweil’s masochistic joke.
It was the moment when a small laugh burst out.
The Chain Walker ate a bitter taste.
“Your determination is no different from ours. It’s comforting in that sense. However, determination alone will not be able to overcome the reality we are facing. Especially in the unknown world of demon world.”
“….”
“Coldly, we might become a burden.”
no one could argue
It was because he felt the majesty of the demon realm at least indirectly.
Thanks to Discus, the demonic being who jumped out of the mouth of the Behemoth.
Wallsweil recalls the fleeting battle.
kang.
Hit the corroded helmet with a hammer.
“The adamantium has melted. Can you make an easy comparison? This is the second time I’ve seen adamantium melt with these two eyes. The first time was when some dragon was aiming for the safe of the Dwarf King.”
He let out a laugh as if it was absurd.
“Yes, it is said that the power of the deadly poison emitted by that skull is equivalent to that of a dragon breath. It means that those guys are aiming for the head of the commander-in-chief as challengers.”
“Not only that.”
Hisagi shows two fingers.
“The commander-in-chief will not stop at simply proving the challenge. He must be setting up a procedure to drop even a higher ranking demon king into hell.”
Leonie, who had been silent, murmured.
“…It’s a situation where it’s hard to even take care of yourself.”
great union.
And Skaarl did not forget the Yunaxus Raid.
If Ho-yeol did not appear.
without that help.
That day, even though he was eaten by an evil dragon, it wasn’t strange.
“that’s right. It’s a shame.”
back.
Nam Tae-min clenched his fists.
It wasn’t just because he was resentful of his weakness.
Understanding the subject matter is important.
Isn’t that what Hoyeol emphasized?
His own weakness was not new.
Because there was one more thing.
‘…Is Ho-yeol okay?’
I shouldn’t have doubted it like I always did.
However, Nam Tae-min witnessed it.
To be precise, it smelled with a keener sense of smell than an animal.
Silver hair long enough to drag on the floor.
The smell that was wafting from him was definitely not the smell of hot heat.
and.
‘The one who defeated Discus…’
was not Ho-yeol, but ‘he’.
It was natural to be concerned.
who he is
Does Ho-yeol, the party involved, know that fact?
What the hell happened to Mr. Hoyeol?
Because it was full of doubts.
“….”
Nam Tae-min’s expression was spectacle while hiding such a complex inside.
Enmity.
To the point that Hisagi couldn’t get enough of it without just passing by.
“Even if you put on a puppy-like expression, nothing will change.”
“…what? what puppy?”
“All we can do is do what we can.”
Having said that, Hisagi begged the Chain Walker for his understanding.
took over the presentation position.
Hisagi said directly.
“As mentioned, in this battle for the demon king, the commander-in-chief will experience trials on both sides. from the standpoint of being challenged. And from a challenge standpoint. You will be carrying an enormous burden indeed. If you want to share the burden of such a commander-in-chief…”
It was a conclusion that I could draw because I had grasped the subject.
“We just need to take care of the challenger.”
Battle of the Demon King.
Even kings will be aiming at each other’s throats.
Even with the exception of Buer and Gamigin.
Ho-yeol must aim for the top eight demons.
It means that there is no bird to be caught by challengers.
“It’s a plan I’m glad I heard.”
The Allied Crusade did not hesitate.
It moved to trample the buds of the challenger in advance.
It didn’t matter which demon would challenge the throne.
Nam Tae-min holds the weight and sings it like anyone else.
“Inferior races do not grasp the subject.”
Ho-yeol’s teachings.
“Even a demon as insignificant as an imp will annoy the commander-in-chief. There’s no way for those in the Demon Realm to do anything right now… but they’re not in the Arcana continent, are they?”
There were demons still roaming the Arcana Continent.
The allied forces of the temple were planning to hunt them down one by one.
“That’s why everything is good…”
Nam Tae-min’s eyes narrow.
“Why are you my partner?”
“Perhaps because harmony is important.”
“Harmony? Do you really think we get along?”
“It is a nuisance for me. But I am the only one with a cold reason who can handle your urges that are no different from a beast. It’s something I’m used to, so I won’t be thanking you.”
“…a madman.”
done.
I thought I would only get tired of talking to the snake-like bastard.
Nam Tae-min stuck out his tongue and looked around.
Let’s see….
From the ruts on the floor to the horseshoes.
“Still, there are traces of people.”
To revive the continent of Arcana, which is heading for destruction, like this.
This must also be the dignity of the commander-in-chief who saved the Arcana people.
It was the moment Nam Tae-min nodded.
Hisagi said calmly.
“You have to be aware of the level of enemies you can handle. For demon-type monsters, up to level 700. If it’s a boss monster, as promised.”
Hisagi held up a gear the size of his palm and showed it.
[Radio – Iron Castle]
“I know. It’s impossible for us to do more than that.”
Evil dragon Yunaxus.
Could it be because he poured all his energy into the struggle?
I was able to get an accurate estimate on my own.
Eventually, the two entered the ruined village.
[You have entered the collapsed town of ‘Fulham’.]
“….”
The expressions of the two bickering hardened.
There were dried black bloodstains everywhere.
The Arcana continent was not safe.
After it collapsed miserably.
It was a sight that reminded us of the fact that it was being rebuilt.
“It’s not like everyone else’s business.”
If you couldn’t clear the pouring rift.
Reality couldn’t have been like this.
It felt like the loose tension was being pulled tight again.
Bubbly.
“Maybe we can find traces of the devil here.”
Hisagi surveyed the surroundings with the spear pointed.
Class Magician and Barbarian.
Because he is not a demon hunter, he cannot chase away the smell of demons.
creaking.
“…!!”
However, excluding Ho-yeol, they were two people who were ranked 1st and 2nd in the player rankings. It was a noise that scratched the nerves of the extremely developed hearing.
chuck.
There was no need to exchange glances with each other.
The two held their breath without saying who came first.
I moved to where the sound came from.
Sseuseuk.
Nam Tae-min arrived first.
Nam Tae-min moves stealthily and swiftly like a cat and beast of prey.
The place where his muscles stopped was a tavern that had become a mess just like the village.
‘…the smell of blood.’
but inside it.
Unlike the smell of dried blood.
There was a relatively vivid scent of blood.
creaking.
The ruins smell of blood.
It’s a being that makes strange metal noises.
Who else is there besides the devil?
bang!
It was the moment when Nam Tae-min kicked out the door and raided the bar.
run after him
Hisagi’s eyes widened as he entered through the broken window.
creaking.
“Wait a minute, this is just an important phrase.”
“…?”
A man was sitting at the table. A hint of youthfulness remains on his face, more like a boy than a man. Looking closely, he was writing something passionately with an antique feather pen.
Nam Tae-min apologized for his nonchalant attitude.
“…First of all, I’m sorry.”
Cheer.
“what?”
Hisagi shed Nam Tae-min with snake eyes.
This isn’t the Emerald Hall of the Magic Tower.
I mean, what kind of manners are you taking care of?
Hisagi asked.
“What are you doing in a place like this?”
“Don’t you know what you’re doing? Aren’t they writing a history book that will remain on the Arcana continent? So don’t feel sad. I’m so busy that I don’t even have time to pay attention.”
“Eh?”
I thought he was a devil worshiper writing curses in the ruins.
You are suddenly writing a history book.
Nam Taemin whispered.
“Should I believe that?”
Before Hisagi can answer, the boy speaks.
“Well, there were people who paid the price for not believing in my words and writings. Didn’t you also come here because you smelled their blood? I guess I’ve had enough. I think one of them smells like a frost barbarian.”
“…!”
Nam Tae-min is startled.
Hisagi glanced at Nam Tae-min.
Nam Tae-min expresses his regret.
“…Why are you looking at me like that? Did you wash today?”
Nam Tae-min looked straight at the boy.
Its gaze is still fixed on the paper on which the feather pen dances.
He seemed to have guessed his true identity just by smell.
‘It’s even the place of birth.’
It could only be seen as having extensive knowledge about barbarians.
So it was questionable.
Time on the Arcana Continent is four times faster than in reality.
The boy couldn’t have known information about the Frost Barbarians.
Thinking like that made me even more suspicious.
‘How can such a kid write a history book?’
A longing sage.
Hisagi’s brain turned several times faster than Nam Tae-min’s.
It means that he did not trust the words of the boy who was full of loopholes.
Hisagi quietly grabbed the spear.
‘It is forbidden to be vigilant to the devil.’
To be able to open the window at any time.
It was the moment when Hisagi sharpened his inner mana.
The boy finally put down the feather pen and opened his mouth.
“good. It’s over. Would you like to read it too? Well, I don’t know what inspired you to write it. I have to pay the price for waiting patiently…”
He moved his gaze and blurted out his words.
“Are you guys adventurers?!”
Nam Tae-min and Hisagi met the boy’s eyes.
clear.
It was so clear and shiny that it was rather frightening.
However, the reaction of the two did not matter to the boy.
“The adventurer I heard about! I really wanted to meet you once. I’ve heard rumors going around the world. You said you possessed the miracle of resurrection, right? Where can you show me that miracle? As for dying, I can help!”
I am making a proposal full of madness suitable for clear eyes…!
Nam Tae-min and Hisagi.
It was the moment when the two men tried to distance themselves from the boy.
The boy was taken aback.
“Look at my mind. Yes, it is only natural that there must be something coming and going before asking. Join us like this! I’ll show you my masterpiece first. You guys can also tell me stories that only adventurers can tell!”
Again, the opinions of the two did not matter. It was because the boy handed out the manuscript of his self-proclaimed Great Arcana Continent’s history book.
“Even if I show you something like this, I don’t intend to cooperate…”
It was a few years ago in real time when Arcana was just a game.
What kind of ridiculous request are you asking?
It was the moment Nam Tae-min opened his mouth.
“This…?”
Hisagi paused.
It had to be.
because it was seen.
The name in the history book that the boy wrote down.
That name, to be exact.
infinitely deep darkness.
“Anyway.”
The corners of Hisagi’s mouth went up.
“It seems that pride has drawn us to you.”
At that, the boy Lorentsk responded.
“Pride led us…”
He snapped Hisagi’s hand.
“Now I see you guys are full of romance!”

Return to reality after a while.
‘As soon as the sparring is over, it’s a hamster wheel again.’
Fortunately, during the misfortune, there was no work that was pushed back by the mage tower.
It was thanks to Marcelo, the new tower owner, handling the chief’s duties instead.
Suddenly, you realize how much the cat ate raw.
‘Next time I see Jessie, I’ll have to nag her hat.’
Shuk.
After sitting on the chair in the office, I immediately called Hiel. I returned to reality, but I couldn’t completely turn my attention to the Arcana continent. Because it is the commander-in-chief’s role to keep an eye on the movements of the allied forces.
however.
“My lord, I have some good news for you.”
Hiel.
…Rather, why do you worry?
I was prepared before I even heard it.
‘It’s always beyond imagination.’
I didn’t expect to meet you in this way.
Anyway, it’s nice to meet you anyway.
Lorentsk You…!!
A history book with someone’s permission.
No, you’re writing a black history book like that?!
