Episode 460. Dawn, darkest hour (4)
I am Lee Ho-yeol. He was frankly unsure.
It was concluded that in order to reverse the situation beyond what was in trouble, the ability of Grandfel in its heyday was necessary.
In order to increase the mastery of [Heaven, Heaven, and Earth], he threw himself into the curse, [Understanding of Darkness].
But, did you know that I would be like this… … !
The past of Grandfel, which should have unfolded before my eyes like a video, was cut off.
It’s not enough that it’s full of noise.
What if you want to see something?
It slowed down as if it was buffering and then sped up repeatedly.
I’ve been frustrated for such a long time.
‘… … Come to think of it.’
I thought there must be a reason for this.
Yes.
This time period I have not experienced through Arcana Continental Electricity.
But it wasn’t the time to write down the specific settings.
‘Is it because there is no information?’
It is because of the rapid decline of the gas.
Whether I like it or not, I overcome my second illness.
The time when the history of the Arcana Continent was also folded.
therefore… … .
Even after searching through my dark history, I couldn’t infer anything from the time period after Grandfell started his full-fledged activities as a demon hunter in Akkshan.
however.
‘I guess.’
A cursed landscape cut off.
How can you guess from that alone?
It wasn’t just because I was quick-witted.
That’s right, this time it’s the fucking Akkshan!!
those days.
What is the daily routine of a demon hunter?
‘Even now that Akkshan is ruined, it’s still the same.’
For physical training that pushes to the limit every fictitious day.
To the simple labor quest.
It must have been an occasional exorcism quest or something.
‘Suddenly the tension is released, this.’
Why, before entering this [Understanding of Darkness], I was the one who had made my own serious determination. But I never thought I would witness the past of Grandfel losing steam like this.
‘… … Wait, wouldn’t the plan go out like this?’
In the social arena of time and space, I entered into the understanding of darkness.
Thanks to that, I didn’t have to worry too much about the time difference.
The problem is not the time difference.
The problem is that the possibility of making a fuss has increased.
You have to find out something from the past to understand about Grandfel.
You will be able to take care of the mastery of the child alone in the heavens and the world.
‘Will I be able to take care of it like this?’
Even if I had time to spare, it was an absolute lack of time. If I don’t get any results from this dark understanding… … .
‘I have to be prepared.’
Intentionally activates abnormal status, [Blackening].
He said that he might have to rely on Grandfel for everything to overcome the crisis.
It was the moment when I seriously thought of plan B.
Suddenly, in the blurred vision of Grandfel.
A ‘something’ shook me off.
A symbol of the Cloudy family.
silver hair.
Of course, it wasn’t Grandfel’s hair.
‘Then the answer must be obvious.’
The time when Cloudy was annihilated.
Except for Grandfell, there is only one person with silver hair.
No, because there was only one guy.
“Grand Fell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo, my younger brother.”
Cloudy’s traitor, the seven deadly arrogance.
Maybe it’s because he’s a knowledgeable person.
The noise slowly dissipated.
The scenery that was cut off was smoothly continued in this part.
I looked around.
antique decorations.
Inside crowded with servants.
‘Where is the high man’s mansion?’
In such a place, Granfell wore a sloppy demon hunter’s garb.
And he was equipped with a silver weapon made by Akkshan.
What that means is simple.
‘It was during the exorcism quest.’
Granfell ran into that guy during a mission.
To be precise, he must have been waiting for Grandfel.
If that’s the case, this is in the guy’s trap.
This mansion isn’t just a mansion either.
‘shit.’
I know that even with Lee Ho-yeol’s head.
There’s no way that Granfell, who has a brain that surpasses even a goddess, doesn’t know. But, our Grandfel-sama is not a person who chooses to do anything in front of the devil.
Especially for the devil, the enemy of the family… … !
sereung.
Grandfell arrogantly rushes towards him.
“You’re impatient, Grandfel.”
Indeed, my predictions were correct. The fact that Granfell held a grudge against him, knowing that he had been involved in Akkshan, was the pride of coming to Granfell on his own feet.
oh oh
Indeed, the entire mansion is a trap.
You don’t betray my expectations.
Immediately, the magic circle engraved on the mansion is activated.
“Don’t move hastily, aren’t you poor souls?”
poor life.
“Ugh, aaaaagh!”
He was talking about the servants of the mansion.
Before long, the pupils of the attendants who struggled in pain turned black.
I could have guessed about it.
-Save the attendants from the demons of the cursed mansion.
If it was a quest, that goal would have been renewed.
That it was all his plan from the start.
However, the demon hunter’s attacks only damage demons.
You must know that there is no way that Grandfel can stop, right?
Indeed, did you come up with a countermeasure for that?
“Akshan can tell the difference between humans and demons, right?”
bang.
As Pride spoke, the door to the mansion broke open and soldiers poured out. No, he was too free-spirited to be called an enlisted soldier from an aristocratic family.
“Catch and kill!”
“lol. A nugget of gold!”
“Get out of the way, his head is mine!!”
You are a mercenary.
A mix of demon possessed servants and money-obsessed mercenaries attack me. I thought about that. If the Granfell I knew, how would you wield a sword in a situation like this?
‘I honestly don’t know.’
Grandfell is merciful.
Grandfell is not merciful.
Conflicting thoughts collide in my head.
But I wasn’t troubled.
Didn’t I tell you, Grandfel?
No need to worry about anything complicated.
‘Because I just need to make it come true.’
I aroused my senses.
[The tenacity is converted into strength.]
[Obsession is converted to agility.]
The skill [Relationship with the Natural Enemy] is already active.
I was able to tell the difference between a human and a demon who were mingling with each other with only my senses.
And he swung his sword without hesitation.
I’m sure it would have been difficult if it was like the old days.
‘Because a simple sword attack is inefficient.’
It is also difficult to control the force.
However, there were high-level interpersonal skills acquired while competing with the shadow god’s apostles. Evade the attack pouring from the blind spot and return it as it is.
“Great!”
“What, what is so fast?”
“This is a demon hunter… … ? You must have tricked me!”
“All right, legs. My legs!”
“Sah, save me… … !”
The devil possessed by the servants stopped breathing, and the mercenaries, who simply pursued money, stopped at the line of cutting their muscles so that they could no longer move.
It was then.
“Excellent, brother.”
Pride looked at me and talked.
I couldn’t help but get angry.
It was very embarrassing for me to call you “Ah” from a while ago.
Wouldn’t it be natural?
I am Lee Ho-yeol.
As the youngest member of the Lee family, who already has three older sisters.
I didn’t have the slightest thought of wanting to serve a new older brother.
‘As long as I feel like it.’
You must have already said a few words… … .
A posture that does not mix words with prey.
Now was not the time to chatter.
furthermore.
‘Maybe this is an opportunity.’
I knew from experience.
A complicatedly intertwined timeline.
If you change the past, the reality will change too.
What if you hunt the Seven Deadly Sins Arrogance from the past?
It was that I could lighten a burden in reality.
So I accelerated even more.
oh oh
It’s a magic circle engraved all over the mansion.
It looks like you put a lot of effort into preparing the trap.
Even the hem of my long clothes couldn’t be brushed with that kind of magic.
『Reversal Magic』.
Grandfell’s brilliant talent.
Completely understand the magic circle’s interference process just by witnessing it. It manifests in reverse order and reverses it. Beyond suppressing the manifestation, tracking the magical power of the manifester who engraved such a magic circle.
“… … Ugh, aaaaagh!”
Mana Burn is also expressed to prevent other modifications.
Magical power evaporated as it is.
To put it simply… … .
Come with me now.
There was no obstacle that could stand in his way.
I straightened my sword.
chuck.
I didn’t want to deal roughly.
In fact, I haven’t had any personal grudge against the demons or demon lords I’ve encountered so far, but it’s a bit different than you.
‘You must hunt with my hands.’
Maybe it’s Cloudy’s setting that I scribbled on first. Did the cruelty of the Cloudy family come to me as a second grader as a joke of fate beyond coincidence?
‘well.’
Is the Arcana Continent first?
Arcana Continent electricity first?
Because even scholars around the world have not been able to come up with an answer to that debate.
‘How would I know that?’
But one thing is certain.
I’m Pride, that I have a debt to pay you.
‘Up to Grandfel’s share.’
So I didn’t hesitate.
tadak.
He kicked the ground with all his might. He was neither alert nor excited. With the same breathing as always, I emit a sword force. He intended to sever his throat intact.
“As expected, you don’t remember anything, Grandfel.”
okay.
“Are you really forgetting 『Cloudy’s Original Sin』?”
Until you hear something like that.
the devil is cunning
Moreover, how cunning would be the words of a bastard who sold his family to the devil? Naturally, I listened to Pride’s words with one ear and let it go with the other.
And if it was the Grandfel I knew, I shouldn’t have even listened to those words. There’s no way the devil’s babble, worse than that of a worm, can’t be heard in my ears.
however… … .
Apparently, I really only understood you 40%, Grandfel. Cloudy’s Original Sin. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Grandfell’s feet stopped.
The gap was long enough for the sword to touch the man’s throat.
“You really forgot.”
My hand didn’t move.
I thought it was a condition, but it wasn’t.
Granfell had stopped moving on its own.
Pride sneered at such a Grandfell.
“What made you forget?”
A fairly unlucky face.
“What made the world’s Grand Fell like that?”
Before long, those shiny eyes turned to ‘me’.
“Is it the ‘single ray of light’ that shone on you that day?”
If that day… … .
It was the day Cloudy was exterminated. That day, through [Understanding the Darkness], I saved Grandfel. Perhaps, Pride also noticed something that day.
In an instant, I felt a sense of crisis.
‘It might be dangerous.’
At that moment, I felt like my senses were floating.
The past and present are blurring before your eyes.
The distinctions began to blur.
Damn, at a time like this… … ?
[Curse, ‘understanding of darkness’ comprehension greatly increases.]
[The skill level of ‘Heaven and Heaven alone’ is greatly increased.]
Grandfell’s past was pushing me away!
Noise intensifies again.
The boy’s movements start to stop.
‘What is Cloudy’s original sin?’
I don’t know if just by hearing that word, my understanding and proficiency have risen to an unprecedented level, but… … . I gritted my teeth.
‘Don’t think that everything will go according to your plan.’
Grandfel is not alone.
In the past, an intact Akkshan.
Currently, the Allied Crusade.
And past, present and future.
At all times, I
I, Lee Ho-yeol.
‘Cause you’ll keep your eyes open
I forced my mouth open.
“Ask me, Tempest.”
“Aww-”
Cries heard outside the mansion.
The Akkshan Wolf responded with a howl.
“… … is it.”
Then, Pride, confidence in his eyes.
He said, dispersing like smoke.
“Now that I know it, I’ll step back from here for today.”
is it?
Then it’s the general public.
I know for sure.
what kind of person you are.
‘So next time we meet, let’s see the end.’
In my brightening vision, I witnessed the message.
[A side effect of the greatly increased proficiency.]
[Skill, ‘Heaven and Heaven alone’ runs out of control.]
[The runaway of the skill, ‘Heaven and Heaven alone’ will be stopped.]
… … wait for a sec.
Runaway?
That I was on a runaway?
.
.
.
… … back to reality
I grabbed the brightening vision.
okay.
Whatever it is, everything is fine, Grandfel.
What did you do while I struggled in my dark understanding?
The demon king of the ninth throne before my eyes.
Do you have a Paimon?
And what did you say
Paimon.
Is that kid making that face?!
