Episode 521 We had a lot in common (2)
‘…Isn’t that what you want to say anyway, Granfell?’
I guessed it because the warrior at sunrise was very nervous.
Indeed, the name itself is as extraordinary as our Gran Fell.
I think he’s an unusual guy.
Of course, I spoke with the same attitude.
“Are you saying that only monsters are worshiped as gods?”
Despite my sarcasm, the warrior of sunrise nodded.
“It’s a shame that the great monster Godslaughter and Eight Two Vipers were something we couldn’t defeat with our own strength. In order not to go against that sentiment, the Eastern Continent offered living sacrifices. “Until he disappeared along with his shrine.”
They offered sacrifices to survive.
It was a fairly common story.
He spoke to me as if he had heard it for the first time in his life.
“He deserves to be hunted just as much as youkai and demons.”
Of course, my class is [Demon Hunter].
Therefore, [natural enemy relationship] was not activated.
But wouldn’t that be enough?
Why do you look at the people next to me?
‘There are as many as two transcendents.’
The warrior of the sunrise and the child of lightning.
“Ugh, I guess I followed you for no reason.”
The child of lightning had a feeling of being caught up in it.
The attitude of the warrior of sunrise changed.
Before I knew it, energy was rippling through the drawn sword.
“I was already asking for your forgiveness, but I will ask for your forgiveness again. Lee Sang encounters a great youkai that was entangled in his hometown in the past. “I must cut off all eight of its heads.”
To the point where I wonder if there is a story behind it.
It means that the determination in that posture seemed extremely reassuring to me.
So I didn’t hesitate.
He said, taking one step at a time.
“Then follow me.”
What do you both think is happening out of nowhere?
To translate it into Granfell style,
it means to use what needs to be used.
‘I can apply a buff.’
Dawn Jacket set effect.
Greatly increases the morale of allies.
Because I have seen quite a lot of results from it.
The sunrise warrior stuttered.
“No way… I can’t owe you any more than that…”
There’s no need to be mistaken again.
No, there is no need to be thankful.
We just had a common purpose.
In that respect, I was fortunate that the child of lightning existed.
“Brother, why are you being so corny? Just say thank you and I will follow you. Why are you talking so loudly…! I would like to thank you on your behalf. lol.”
At that point, my vision began to blink.
[The command authority of the transcendental ‘Sunrise Warrior’ has been acquired.]
[The commanding authority of the transcendental ‘Child of Lightning’ has been acquired.]
[The morale of allies increases significantly.]
“…!!”
The effect of boosting morale is two people.
Everyone seemed to feel it immediately.
Perhaps my senses have become sharper.
Soon the sunrise warrior explored the surroundings.
For a long time.
“I apologize again.”
No, there is nothing to be sorry about.
“I never thought that guy would abandon the shrine and run away.”
Isn’t it strange that it actually exists?
‘Gabriel is from a few years ago.’
Even in real time, he is a person from dozens of years ago.
To the Arcana Continent.
Because he is a person from the past who is several times that much older.
‘It’s strange being here all these years.’
Even if it was coiled up in Ogratium.
As you can see.
It was the eastern part of the Arcana continent, which had been devastated by tectonic shifts.
‘It doesn’t look like a human shadow.’
Could a guy who ate live sacrifices survive in this environment? It was said that he left to avoid starving to death. Also, above all, there was solid evidence.
-Search for Gabriel’s remains in the collapsed city of Ogratium. (In progress)
Hunt the monster of Ogratium, ‘the great monster of the valley where the blood never stops flowing, the cruel Godslaughter Eight-Two Viper.’ (On Hold)
Track down the monster that has disappeared from Ogratium, ‘the great monster of the valley where the blood never stops flowing, the cruel Godslaughter Eight Head Viper.’ (In progress)
Even system messages that don’t lie.
I came up with a new quest goal.
So, I guess there’s no need to be too nervous anymore.
chuck.
The warrior of the sunrise said to me as he received his sword.
“We apologize for wasting your valuable help.”
He responds indifferently yet shamelessly.
“Did a mere creature get scared and run away?”
It’s a great youkai that devastated the East Continent.
You can tell how strong he is just by looking at his full name, which is hard to say.
But it’s a tiny thing, so anyway, it’s a cubic crystal…
“It’s not your fault.”
But such a cubic crystal would ease the burden on the other party in this situation. Is the warrior of sunrise trying to capture the image of his hometown restored through reversal magic?
“…Thank you for saying that.”
With that said, finally.
I looked at the shrine for a while with eyes filled with sentimentality.
It may be complicated, but I’m also disturbed by thoughts of my hometown these days.
‘What should I do with Seoul?’
The land of strangeness.
Seoul overlaid with the colors of the Arcana continent.
And I will become the king of Seoul.
‘…Maybe you like me!’
I, Lee Ho-yeol, proudly declared at my parents’ dumpling restaurant.
If you think about the cubic crystals that will unfold in the future.
It meant that my head was already pounding…!
But let’s forget that for a moment.
‘My purpose is still there.’
Because I had more important things to do than lamenting about my situation.
The shrine was magnificent, as they say, where the great monster stayed.
Is it because it is not a door through which people enter and exit, but a door through which monsters enter and exit?
Especially the doors and windows anyway.
Everything I could see seemed to be several times its normal size.
I walked around the shrine using the shiny quest objective as a detector.
And then.
I witnessed it in a place where the blinking was more dynamic.
“Gabriel.”
Gabriel turned into white bone.
The equipment that fell around the white bone was undoubtedly the uniform of an Akshan demon hunter. There was even more solid evidence. The two people who heard my voice and came running to me were startled, wondering if something had happened.
“…That.”
“Tongue brother! “Isn’t that his head?!”
Yes.
Aside from persistence, there is no giving up for a corpse demon hunter.
Even if they say it’s an enemy that can’t be defeated.
Even if it means risking your own life.
Even if I become a devil and fall into hell.
Because it was our Akshan seniors who never gave up on hunting.
Gabriel was the same.
The bones of a huge snake placed next to Gabriel.
The sunrise warrior opened his mouth.
“The Great Yokai Godslaughter and Eight Two Vipers. As its name suggests, it has eight heads. However, its power is not divided into eight heads and eight arms.”
That was valuable information that I had no way of knowing.
“This is because it is a great youkai born from the tangle and fusion of eight different Imoogi. Therefore, cutting off one of its heads means…”
“This person knocked down one animal…?”
“that’s right.”
The sunrise warrior looked at Gabriel’s body.
“I never would have thought that an unknown nobleman from the Arcana Continent could accomplish something that no brave warrior from the Eastern Continent could accomplish. “Please forgive me for being unable to express my respects in this way.”
I bowed my head in silence.
Did he then think that he was just immersed in his own sentiments?
He continued speaking towards me.
“The Imoogi I was talking about was not a dragon…”
Of course, that explanation wasn’t necessary for me.
“Know.”
“Ah, you also know….”
“The existence of this weapon and the name of that great man.”
“!”
I looked at Gabriel’s remains.
He died while hunting a monster because being a demon wasn’t enough.
It was truly the end of a demon hunter.
so that.
“Gabriel, you were truly a great Demon Hunter of Akshan.”
There is no shortage of condolences to that pride.
I lowered my head, which I rarely do.
Bushido of the sunrise, following me.
The lightning child also bowed his head.
There was a moment of quiet silence.
*
“I didn’t know my brother had a story like that.”
The child of lightning hesitated in front of the bonfire.
“Oops. Then I have to apologize for looking unsophisticated. I thought my brother was from a remote corner of the Arcana Continent. But if you are from the Eastern Continent…”
“Be quiet.”
“What are you still upset about?”
The sunrise warrior said with a wink.
“If you make a fuss, it will be a disruption.”
I kept the spark alive and counted the numbers.
How many times do I owe you? In particular, I would have guessed that he was already aware of the existence of the great monster, the Shinsal82 Viper, which he was determined to catch with his own hands.
‘I would never have thought that your precious colleague lost his life while hunting this guy.’
Gabriel.
The warrior at sunrise recalled the name of his benefactor once again.
Then he spoke to the child of lightning.
“Gabriel, because his benefactor cut off one of the heads of a viper with his own life. The remaining seven heads must be hunted on our lines.”
“…Woo us?”
“Okay, I can’t owe you any more.”
You would say with a consistent attitude that there was nothing to worry about… but the sunrise warrior had guessed it. The reason your mourning is prolonged.
‘Perhaps you need time to gather your emotions.’
From my heart, I wanted to convey my deepest condolences.
I didn’t even have that qualification.
So the warrior of sunrise prepared the best he could.
Bubbling.
This meant boiling water over a bonfire and preparing tea to quench the thirst that must have been parched due to overwhelming emotions. But was that scent unfamiliar? The lightning child’s brow furrowed.
“…sniff, what is this?”
“These are tea leaves from the Eastern Continent.”
“Tea leaves from the Eastern Continent…? Will it suit his taste?”
The warrior of sunrise did not refute.
Hoping it suits your taste is probably greed.
Just as he had not yet adapted to the food of the Arcana Continent.
It was greedy to hope that you would welcome the tea leaves of the Eastern Continent.
Nevertheless, the warrior of sunrise spoke quietly.
“…Because this is all I can give you.”
All I have is the sunrise sword and the few remaining tea leaves. Since he had already decided to use the Sunrise Blade for you, the Sunrise Warrior was ready to give everything he had.
It was then.
Again.
Ho-yeol finally got out of the shrine.
“…!!”
Seeing him like that, the two people were speechless.
In those eyes.
Because it seemed like a lot of emotions were being expressed.
.
.
.
…Are you crying?
‘oh my god. Senior Gabriel, what should I do because I’m sad?’
A sunrise warrior from the Eastern Continent.
A very familiar scent wafted from the tea leaves he was brewing.
Yes, that is definitely green tea.
‘Yes, you would be worthy of tears!’
From when green tea withdrawal symptoms occurred.
How many hours have passed now?
I, Ho-Yeol Lee, don’t know anything else, but I can guarantee one thing.
Sweet.
I tilt my tea cup and think.
‘Warrior of the Sunrise Will this be a bother in the future?’
It’s a favor from our Grandfell.
It’s not something you can just like because you received it.
There is give and take in everything.
You also have to do something to repay Granfell’s favor?!
‘…I would rather not receive that favor.’
In that sense, the warrior of sunrise was wise.
He handed me some dried green tea leaves and left.
I asked him the destination and he gave me a concise answer.
-“We will track down the Shinsal82 viper.”
There was no reason for me to stop him.
‘I don’t have time to track him down right now.’
Because I had a prior promise in hell.
Moreover, the warrior of the sunrise and the child of lightning.
They were transcendent people with skills that could be trusted without worrying.
‘If necessary, we may be able to receive help from the spirits.’
These spirits are well-versed in news from the Arcana Continent. Well, it might be impossible right now since you’ll be busy just running around as much as you want to disturb the gaze of the other Ten Lords.
But more than anything else.
‘Actually, I didn’t want to be seen like this.’
Why did you end your mourning late?
It was simple.
I couldn’t help but be shocked during the process of retrieving Gabriel’s relic.
Clink.
I’m just lightly tipping my teacup. The clear sound ringing in my ears gives me an idea of how draped Gabriel’s relic is.
‘Really…’
I checked the relic with a resentful gaze.
okay.
What are Gabriel’s relics?
It was a chain made of silver!
This means that not only was it not flashy enough, but it was so flashy that it matched Gran Fell’s aesthetics, so much so that he wore it right away. Even the name.
[Lucifer’s Chains of Atonement]
I’m so worried that I’ll even say it out loud.
But this wasn’t all that was found with Gabriel’s remains. In the inside pocket of my clothes, I found a notebook made of parchment bound together.
[Gabriel’s Diary]
But I, Lee Ho-yeol, did not dare to open it.
There is give and take in everything.
What if I open someone else’s diary and the karma comes back to me? So, what if my dark history notes are discovered by someone…?
‘…Even if you check, definitely.’
Hoyeol, let’s retrieve the black history notebook from the family home and then read it.
I tried to ignore the swinging silver chain.
I tilted my teacup.
Architectural magic.
The aesthetic sense was clearly demonstrated.
He chanted while looking at Gabriel’s tomb.
“We had a lot in common.”
It’s so heartbreaking, Gabriel-senpai.
‘Then the teacup must have been emptied. Let’s check.’
The abilities of the relic left behind by my senior!
But regardless of my wishes.
My hands are with tea leaves again.
I headed to the teacup.
Hey Granfell….
“I will offer a cup for you, Gabriel.”
…Honestly, it’s just because you want another drink?!
