Episode 386. Flowers and weeds (1)
AAU realized the seriousness of the situation.
“Has the general manager forgiven you this time too?”
The US response was arrogant.
Was it to protect its own people? If that’s not the case, is it that the entire United States cannot step back in relation to the situation? As if they were ready for an all-out war, they launched an attack on the top of the Mage Tower.
“Is this a true story?”
There was also news that came belatedly.
AAU Eastern and Western Branches of the United States of America.
Astonishment flows in the photos that the staff delivered.
“I heard you gathered weapons for rift battles?!”
“If you look at the picture, it’s real.”
“Are you serious?”
“No, I didn’t ask for much, I only asked the guy who was talking bullshit to come out. Why are you so overreacting? Even if the general manager hadn’t stepped forward…”
That Meteor Strike really would have survived after falling on American soil.
In that sense, Seong Hyun-jun and Yun Su-gyeom.
Both of them let out a sigh of relief.
“Still, did you have an hour, senior?”
“…”
Yoon Soo-gyeom did not answer.
Ho-yeol’s last words made me care.
This is the disposition of the demon king you have been crying out for.
What will the United States do?
The doubts did not last long.
tight.
“It happened.”
“…!!”
Branch manager Park Min-jae was holding his head. He was not easily shaken under any circumstances. However, when he thought of what was going to happen from now on, Park Min-jae seemed to be dizzy.
“Are you okay, branch manager?”
Yoon Soo-gyeom approaches and asks in a worried voice. Park Min-jae nodded and shook his head. Then I glanced at the monitor. To be precise, the coordinates for creating the rift that Another Space Arc has passed down.
“Sugyeom-ah. It will be a bit noisy from now on.”
“…yes?”
“It’s going to ring really non-stop.”
Park Min-jae’s warning was immediately realized.
Wheein!
“Gyu Crack! where are you?!”
Continuously updated rift creation warning message.
Could it be that another space had an error?
It was enough to make me suspicious.
even.
“All of my coordinates are in America!!”
Tens of hundreds of cracks.
Because everything was created in US territory.
Seong Hyun-jun was taken aback.
Could it be that the disposition that General Manager Lee Ho-yeol said was…
“You said you were referring to those cracks?”
Seong Hyun-jun was not alone in his thoughts.
everyone was doing it
Lee Ho-yeol.
I wonder if he has reached the point where he can freely create even cracks.
However, Park Min-jae ended the ridiculous illusion.
“Do you really see your general manager as the demon king?”
Park Min-jae gives strength to each character and connects them.
“No matter what the world says, you must not be shaken. What did the general manager look like in front of the crack? He was the one who entered the rift alone, regardless of the appropriate level. A person like that creates a rift while disposing of it?”
“…”
“Whoa.”
Park Min-jae catches his breath and tells the truth.
“America was just thrown out of the fence.”
“…Out of the fence?”
“Didn’t you all think it was strange? Since the advent of the Zero Mountains, the frequency of rifts has greatly decreased. Could it be because of the weight of the Zero Mountains?”
…nod.
one of those who thought so.
Seong Hyeon-jun shook his head once.
You haven’t taken off your rookie tee yet, Seong Hyun-joon.
Park Min-jae shakes his head.
“If you look at it from the developer’s point of view, it may not be wrong. Because we updated the high-difficulty content called Zero Mountains. With the feeling that new content will be saved until the players finish conquering the mountain range.”
Nod.
“But you guys know Raymon Sean well, don’t you?”
“…!”
“Does reality still look like Arcana Continent Electric?”
Rayman Sean.
There was no consideration for humanity in the updates led by him.
No, it was rather vicious.
Once upon a time, the best move to destroy mankind.
Because I felt like I was giving out every regular update.
“The reason why mankind has been able to survive is simple. It is thanks to the Mage Tower that they embraced reality, the earth, and the entire world with their own fence. Everyone must remember the setting of the Mage Tower?”
Yoon Soo-gyeom’s eyes sparkle.
“…absolutely inviolable!”
“That is correct.”
Park Min-jae nodded.
“In the history of the Arcana Continent, the Magic Tower was a lighthouse that should not be shaken until the very end. It was a role to maintain the balance of the continent by standing upright as the best armed group. Even if the empire perishes, the Mage Tower should not collapse.”
“Then, are you saying that the reason why the frequency of rifts has drastically decreased since the Zero Mountains… is because the Mage Tower considered the Earth their territory?”
“Did you notice now?”
Yes.
It was thanks to the Mage Tower that humanity was able to loosen up for a while from Arcana’s erosion. It was because the Mage Tower, which had the setting of absolute inviolability, declared the earth to be their protection zone.
Yoon Soo-gyeom continues, saying, “I can’t believe it.”
“The fact that demonic monsters mainly appeared…!”
“that’s right. Like the general manager said, devils can’t figure out the subject. Whether it’s the territory of the Magic Tower or whatever, they must have crossed over without caring about it. But those who know the horrors of the Mage Tower are different.”
gulp.
Park Min-jae wet his cracked neck.
“Each of the cracks must be infested with Arcana monsters. They were the ones who grinded their teeth outside the fence of the Mage Tower. Is there any reason to leave the prey thrown out of the enclosure unattended?”
His gaze turned to the decisive battle weapon for the Great Monster, which was heading towards the headquarters of the Mage Tower.
It’s a situation where you can neither laugh nor cry.
Park Min-jae calmly opens his mouth.
“It must be worthwhile to bring something like that. Eugene McCain.”

[Recommended ] Level: 600]
[Crack collapse: 42.4%]…
The dam collapsed.
It was like the last bastion that the magic tower was blocking had collapsed.
There could be no more appropriate expression than this.
“Then why do you go out and earn money for nothing? Seriously!”
Cheol-Min Nam, the analyst of the Great Alliance.
It was the Arcana continent full of dangers. It was Nam Cheol-min who did not rush to enter the Arcana continent due to his relatively low level. Is it thanks to Nam Chul-min’s phone rang non-stop. All were international calls.
Nam Chul-min glanced at the screen.
“what the.”
Starting with The Shining.
Cheol-Min Nam is acquainted with numerous guild players in the United States.
They all want to seek help from the Great Coalition.
“It wasn’t meant to be this big in the first place, was it?”
Marcelo also gave me a chance, and the general manager also gave me an ample opportunity. It was the United States that gave it a chance to correct its mistakes, but instead of asking for forgiveness, it responded with an attack.
Nam Chul-min calmly looked at the situation.
“…If it were me, I would have completely turned a blind eye.”
Even if it’s okay to deceive the magic tower and get over it.
It was Ho-yeol who had sacrificed himself for humanity.
Nam Chul-min, who watched Ho-yeol from the side, knew.
“Even if it’s unfair.”
The weight of the burden Ho-yeol took on?
An amount that would suffocate if a criminal could not digest it even for a day.
Shall we give a simple example?
Even the physical training that I heard about from my younger brother, Taemin, is the same.
-“My older brother, Master Harkon, says. Mr. Hoyeol said he never missed a single day of physical training. Even the amount of training is different from us. When do you go to sleep?”
Such a sacrifice would almost be overshadowed by malicious distortions overnight.
If he had been Ho-yeol…
he would have completely ignored the United States even if he felt betrayed.
but this moment.
“Are you still waiting, Commander-in-Chief?”
Hoyeol and the Magic Tower are in their place.
stayed in the air
to the very end.
It means that you will not give up your expectations of humans.
“…shit.”
Poof!
Cheol-min Nam took off his glasses as if throwing them away and answered the phone.
As expected, it was a call from the AAU branch in the United States.
Nam Cheol-min could not stand it.
It poured as if he had activated his brother’s skill Berserk.
“Wouldn’t it be in order to ask for forgiveness in time to call me? Have you lost sight of reality after seeing the rapidly rising rift collapse? You really don’t intend to make America a living hell, do you?!”
Nam Cheol-min warned.
“The crack collapse will really be the final countdown. Even now, it’s not too late. Tell the truth about everything. That is the final advice and warning I can give you.”
Added a small comment.
“If there is any pride left.”
The voice came back as if it had made up its mind.
“Thank you for saying that.”
Eugene McCain.
The contacts I got from all over the place to build connections were helpful at times like this. Eugene put the receiver down and headed for Joshua, who passed out. He poured the potion on the table into Joshua’s mouth.
“Ugh.”
As expected, I can’t believe it even after seeing it, Arcana.
“…Eugene? Where are you going?”
Eugene left the branch manager’s office, leaving behind Joshua, who was trying to stand up. Magic Tower and Lee Ho-yeol. How should I communicate with them above the sky?
Eugene didn’t worry.
‘If it’s Arcana’s way…’
Eugene, who was standing on the roof of the branch building, opened his mouth before he knew it.
“I will tell you everything truthfully. Lee Ho-yeol, general manager of Yusura.”
Then I felt the gaze. An experience that transcends the laws of physics. He felt Ho-yeol’s gaze staring at him from far away. Eugene thought to himself.
‘…To be honest about everything?’
Eugene vowed to take over everything himself.
So, if you can get past this crisis, feel free to do so.
But the more I looked at it, the more absurd it was.
Eugene said bitterly.
“I’m just a chess piece, so it’s not worth that much.”
You should know that civilian damage is inevitable now that the rift is created. Even so, there was no communication from the upper line. It must mean that their safety is more important than the damage to civilians.
But it was thanks.
“What is it for America?”
Eugene was able to open his mouth without regret.
“General Manager Lee Ho-yeol, it is the White House that led this situation.”
After speaking the first words, Eugene stopped talking.
Kwajijik─
“…?”
Because you’re not a player.
“!”
The cracks should not have been visible to his own eyes. However, a cracking void began to appear. What it said was simple. This means that the collapse of the rift is imminent. Eugene swallows dry saliva and continues.
“It’s all our fault, who are stupid and rotten, and the citizens are not at fault. So, lord Please have mercy on them.”
tight.
Eugene closed his eyes.
He didn’t want any mercy towards himself.
What Eugene felt at this moment was a sense of responsibility.
And the answer came back to Eugene.
“You saved.”
…I’ll save you?
What do you mean?
forgiveness?
“…?”
It was the moment when Eugene opened his eyes wonderingly.
self.
I saw silver grains spreading in all directions.
Eugene was neither a player nor ignorant of arcana.
I could feel it nonetheless.
“Lee Ho-yeol, general manager?”
The whole area was as silvery as the color of his hair.
Because it was shining brightly.
Soon, an unbelievable sight unfolded in Eugene’s field of vision.
Straight support.
A rift that was about to collapse.
The cracks were gradually beginning to blur.
What he meant was also simple.
Lee Ho-yeol that he is “reversing” the degree of collapse of the rift.
“ah.”
Is it because the tension has been relieved?
Eugene knelt involuntarily.
The voice continues to Eugene.
“I will ask.”
For some reason, only a warm, dry voice could be heard.
“Do I still look like a demon to you?”
*
Acquired witnesses.
As for the interrogation, it should be done properly in Topaz Hall or Mugan.
What is urgent is a follow-up.
I got my magic right.
‘Although I reversed the degree of collapse of the rift.’
That’s it.
I didn’t fully understand the [『Strangeness』] of the rift either.
So from now on.
It means that you have to clear the cracks created in the United States one by one.
‘Hundreds of cracks.’
I couldn’t have cleared everything before it collapsed by myself.
But now.
Behind me is Arcana’s strongest military group, the Mage’s Tower.
‘Let’s clear it quickly and quickly.’
I opened my mouth.
“Vivace would be nice.”
I didn’t even lift the [rhyming baton].
What’s the point of suddenly spitting out musical terms?!
Fortunately, there was nothing to be ashamed of.
It happened well…
No, thank you for dispersing my shame.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment! My arcane magic is in full force…!!”
“Senior Banshee William.”
“…yes?”
I spoke meaningfully.
“From this time on, I will give you a ‘heavy duty’.”
