Episode 524 A true disaster (2)
It was a moment when common sense collapsed.
“The pattern gimmick was omitted…?”
The 1st Corps Commander, Primal Satan.
AAU started analyzing it from the moment it appeared.
Even if the settings in the database were incomplete, as long as there was confidence that all of them were realized, AAU was no longer a group that would just suck its fingers.
Joshua, the head of the United States branch, opens his mouth.
“Isn’t he the Primordial Satan mentioned at the last meeting?”
“Yes, branch manager!”
“Good, let’s send the relevant data to each branch right away.”
Korea branch.
“senior! “It’s just like what my senior classmate said, right?!”
Yoon Soo-gyeom glanced over the report that arrived and nodded.
“that’s right. “It’s just like Katrina said.”
If Arcana was still just a game.
One of the boss monsters that would appear in an update in the future.
The monster in the concept art had the appearance of a primordial Satan.
There’s just one thing different.
“Except for the brilliant sealing sphere.”
The guy in the database was just tied up in an ordinary chain.
Because it is the initial setting.
This means that he was not tied to something great like the original Satan.
Anyway, what that meant was simple.
“It is clear that the gimmick of the pattern changing as the chain seal is released still remains. But you can’t stop it with just a chain. Even at first glance, the primordial Satan was realized as a strong person who had to be sealed with a special item.”
Gulp.
The dry sting went away on its own.
Because of the strength of the primordial Satan?
Because of Paimon, who sealed such a primordial Satan?
No, the burning throat right now was due to a different tension.
Park Min-jae opened his mouth quietly.
“…Did you kill a guy like that in one blow, General Manager?”
The position of AAU branch president is not something that can be earned through annual leave.
Cosmo, no, before that.
From the time when Arcana continent electricity was still in the development stage.
Minjae Park, who contributed to the creation of Arcana, revealed common sense from the past.
“Everyone remember, right? “Boss mob vitality system.”
Everyone nodded.
Newcomer for 10,000 years.
Even Seong Hyun-jun, who has the shortest experience.
“Even if the level is the same, boss mobs have unique blood levels that are different from regular monsters. When one bucket reaches the bottom, it moves on to the next pattern and a new bucket is created. Why wasn’t that characteristic clearly visible during the 4th Corps Commander, Evil Dragon Knight Copper?”
Evil Dragon Knight Copper.
I look back on the afterimage.
Seong Hyun-jun whispered to Yoon Soo-gyeom.
“…That’s definitely true, Senpai.”
The evil dragon that had been cornered came back to life as if it had recovered all its vitality after encountering Copper, and the evil dragon knight Copper continued to run wild even with his head cut off.
Park Min-jae added to those who kept shaking their heads.
“Is that any different from the original Satan?”
Everyone was silent.
Like I said, common sense.
It’s been around since Arcana was just a game.
Common sense that was maintained until just recently.
Because it was horribly broken.
“Commander of the 3rd 2nd Corps. Even the guys were skeptical. Although there were no major reports of victory on the battlefield… when Skaarl awakened as a dragon knight, our humanity’s power was not far behind. “Knowingly or unknowingly, I thought it had progressed to the final pattern and passed on it.”
however.
“I was convinced when I saw the end of the primordial Satan.”
Park Min-jae’s voice was very meaningful.
“From the moment you ignored the rules of Arcana Continent electricity and killed the primordial Satan in one blow. “It is clear that the Commander-in-Chief has been defeated.”
“What are you destroying…?”
“My limitations as a player.”
No, it is not enough to conclude that he is a player.
Minjae Park.
He muttered to himself.
‘You even denied the system that no one could defy.’
There is something players often say.
The system doesn’t lie. However, the current Commander-in-Chief wielded abilities that surpassed even a system with such absolute power.
‘And the aftereffects of that power…’
Park Min-jae’s gaze is directed at the control room monitor.
Almost all camera angles are now focused on Ho-yeol.
What Park Min-jae focuses on is the background unfolding behind Ho-yeol.
It was a panoramic view of Jeju Island.
Creeping.
The ‘black something’ that killed the primordial Satan in one blow.
Something was devouring Jeju Island.
It seems to suddenly appear in an ominous landscape.
Park Min-jae ended up imagining things he shouldn’t have.
‘If you even lightly grab it in that state.’
As if the primordial Satan had exploded.
jeju island.
And the imagination of everyone who entered Jeju Island exploded.
Park Min-jae roughly shook his head.
‘No, that won’t happen.’
He is none other than the Commander-in-Chief.
I, Park Min-jae, have a fucking twisted personality.
I caught Rayman Shen’s bad smell early on.
He is a trusted commander.
Even if you stumble.
It means that He will never be broken.
It was the moment when Park Min-jae clenched his fist with faith.
“…?”
Because he was looking at the background.
More than anyone else in the control room.
I was able to capture it quickly.
“Is the control room listening? “Enlarge camera 172 immediately!!”
An urgent order from the branch manager soon changes the scene in the control room. The hundreds of cameras that came to mind are reduced, and only the angle of camera 172 fills the vast screen.
“?!”
Thanks to this, everyone was able to witness it.
“What about that?”
Lee Ho-yeol, general manager of Yusra.
Someone with flowing silver hair like his.
The sight of a mysterious man approaching the general manager.
*
Pride parted his lips.
“That’s not like you, my brother Granfell.”
At this moment you are
You are doing something you would never have done.
Just for a ray of light.
Pride bit his lip.
“As your only blood relative, it was hard to see you anymore.”
Encounter with Paimon.
After that, Pride went back to the Demon World alone.
Unlike the time I entered when I was invited by Paimon.
It was Pride who barely survived due to mercy rather than Paimon’s mercy.
Cough.
“Rejoice, my brother. “I came looking for you with this body.”
Pride wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The process of climbing into the mouth of the Behemoth was anything but pleasant. To the point where his hair, which was no different from Granfell’s, would never regain its original color. Just look at the fact that it has become red and stained with blood.
Pride laughed slightly.
“…Only for you.”
I remember my conversation with Paimon.
Although I didn’t make any promises.
Paimon’s intentions must be clear now that he has me half-killed.
Okay.
I look at my legs shaking with all my strength.
“Maybe if I get closer to you…”
I shift my gaze and glare at the curse floating in the sky.
“Paimon, that demon will tear me to pieces.”
But it’s okay.
‘You won’t be able to give up, Paimon.’
Aren’t you the ruler of the western part of the Demon World?
‘Unlike me, who gave up everything early on.’
Pride.
The family scene flashes through his memory. The scenery of ‘that day’ was no exception. Is it an effect of looking back on the past? The smile completely disappeared from Pride’s face.
‘The reason Paimon appointed the corps commander was probably to buy time for him to manifest.’
But because Granfell woke up faster than expected.
Because all of the corps commanders were killed.
Your plan is in vain, Paimon.
Pride weighed things in his head.
‘You must choose.’
Gran Fell.
Or all you have.
Choose one of the two options.
‘I made my choice a long time ago.’
But do you have enough resolve?
Pride was sure.
I gritted my teeth.
Then he took a step towards his younger brother.
‘There is no way a devil could have that kind of determination…’
But Pride was mistaken because he had not witnessed it.
Gentle Barbatos, the Demon King of the Eighth Throne.
The scenery seen through his telescope.
The entire western part of the Demon World that was once offered as a sacrifice.
Soon Pride stuttered.
“Are you really saying that you gave up everything on the western side of the demon world…?”
*
“The situation is changing rapidly.”
Prosnax.
Even with the dragon’s pupils that see through the essence.
The current situation did not make it easy to make a decision.
Prosnax resented his own immaturity.
‘If it weren’t for me who just took off the hatchling t-shirt.’
Even Eunaxus or Kudhanax would have known about the Dark Dragon’s unusual state at this moment and the story surrounding another Cloudy with the same hair.
‘In the end, I can’t be of any help.’
Prosnax expressed his anger.
“I feel sorry for the years I spent alone on the iceberg.”
Skaarl clenched his fists.
‘This is my first reaction too.’
Prosnax, who had not given up even in the face of the primordial evil that was as terrifying as its name, was blaming himself. That means the situation is not that serious.
Review the player’s vision message.
[The 1st Corps Commander Primordial Satan has been defeated.]
[The level has increased.]
[The level has increased.]
[The level has increased.]…
Just by not retreating from the battlefield, the level increases. It was a huge amount of experience. However, the level up message was not welcome at all. There’s only one thing I’m looking for.
‘It is the bloody, silver-haired person.’
However, no matter how much I looked back at the message, nothing like the appearance message came to mind. No, to be precise, one message came to mind.
[□□ ‘□□□ □□□□ □□□□□ □□□’ is □□□□□.]
A message filled with mosaics.
“…shit.”
So it was just a rough guess.
A message filled with mosaics.
I thought it might be referring to the blood-covered silver-haired man who broke in.
It was then.
“!”
Because I don’t lie.
It simply outputs the given situation.
A despairing message was once again displayed in everyone’s sight.
[Ah□ □□ □□’s □king ‘□□□ Pa□□’ appears.]
He comes.
The culprit of this incident.
Paimon appears.
But it was a question.
Unlike the message that was incomprehensible, the message of Paimon’s appearance was understandable, albeit slightly. From the time when Arcana was just a game to before the advent of Hoyeol.
“No way…”
Skaarl, the player who has maintained the top spot alone.
Your knowledge as a player provides the answer.
An answer that even one who is watching cannot believe.
“That one is stronger than Paimon?”
If Nam Cheol-min, an analyst for a large coalition, had made such a sound.
Skaarl wouldn’t have believed it.
I am not ignoring Nam Cheol-min.
No one would have believed AAU’s intelligence, the ranker’s words, or the guild’s information. But didn’t the system output a message that never lies?
“It’s even better than Paimon…?”
Did I overlook something?
‘…Yes, if it is Frosnax’s dragon child.’
This moment is the dragon’s eyes that see through the essence.
Paimon and the mysterious man.
They must be well aware of which beings are more threatening.
however.
【Go away, evil demon king】
Prosnax was only showing hostility towards Paimon.
Skaarl made a decision.
He said his intuition was not wrong.
‘The silver-haired man is not dangerous.’
I wasn’t sure, but…
I didn’t sense any hostility from that man. Moreover, it didn’t even look like it was in perfect condition. Not only was he covered in blood, he was constantly spitting out blood from his mouth.
So why?
Skaarl fell into deeper thoughts.
‘System messages don’t lie…’
And then another possibility occurred to me.
Yes.
It was another silver hair.
Not even the slightest stain, not soaked in blood.
The commander-in-chief was here.
Skaarl’s pupils twitch.
‘…Then what exactly does the message refer to?’
But the thought ended there.
“Don’t you dare yell at me.”
A feeling of intimidation that comes upon you in an instant.
At the same time.
Grumbling.
Because the fine ice barrier that protected Prosnax collapsed. Paimon was just answering a proverb. Prosnax and Skaar began to fall headlong together.
“You lowly reptile.”
Asshole juice.
Prosnax and Skaar fall to the ground. Prosnax urgently manifested a polymorph. The purpose was to minimize internal injuries by turning into a chick and prevent the young dragon knight from being crushed to death by himself.
“Skal!”
However, the condition of the young dragon knight was strange.
Prosnax quickly grabbed Skal.
Then he asked.
“Young brave knight, you have now crossed the firing line.”
Even as he asked, Skaarl’s gaze remained fixed.
“Why are you still looking only at the Dark Dragon?”
Still heading towards Hoyeol.
“…Prosnax, we didn’t know from the beginning.”
Skaarl barely opened his mouth.
“About the commander-in-chief.”
His voice wavered dangerously.
“None of that….”
