The Player Hides His Past Chapter 107

Episode 107. Ego (2)

The scenery of the ‘state’ that remains blurry.

I recalled that sensation and used Senios’s freezing magic. Compared to the original, it would be mere new blood, but it was me who could imitate it at least similarly.

So much so—!!

The power was great.

[Spirit of Mospike Mercenary: Lv. 560]

[The ghost of Mospike Mercenary has ‘stiffness’.]

[The ghost of Mospike Mercenary

has ‘stiffness’.]…

A whopping level 560 monster I can’t do anything and freeze.

Suddenly, the [Swamp of Predator] reminds me of the struggle to the death in the rift. Yeah, how messed up were you back then?

‘Because magic is not enough, even swordsmanship…’

It wasn’t even to emit sword skills.

Just to protect the weak body.

I followed Harkon’s posture.

Compared to then, it’s really a big step forward. now.

‘of course.’

It’s not just high-level magic.

The manifestation of high level magic.

Unlike Karimzeba, I wasn’t fully prepared or overdoped with medicinal herbs. The consumption of mana was extreme. His eyelids trembled, but he showed no expression.

“This level of freezing magic at once…!”

I said to Klee, who was breathing cold air.

“It’s not just the living who are targeting wild plants.”

“Ah, that’s right!”

“Be mindful. I will leave the disposition to you.”

This is the chief’s authority.

I shamelessly ordered the interim processing.

It was literally a monster that caught everything.

I had no intention of sharing the experience.

‘That means I have to conserve magic.’

ghost iron.

After learning that the precious iron was buried in the Mantra Mine…!

“Yes yes!”

At my words, Claire looked a little surprised.

However, the frozen ghosts were soon dealt with.

Yes, this is an organized society.

If you are black, you have no choice but to lay it down.

I use rank insignia well like this.

‘Anyway, it’s the Magic Tower.’

Cleodia.

To some extent, she was a skilled magician of the healing school.

However, in order to hunt monsters of this level, the knowledge of the school is not necessary. The basic magic was applied, and the ghost was dealt with in an instant.

‘Jesse Heinness is not treated as an apprentice for nothing.’

I was stunned for a moment.

[Your level has risen.]

[Your level has risen]

.

You can’t be more reliable than this, the rear of the Magic Tower.

It’s not going to happen, but just in case.

I was careful not to reveal my black heart.

“Wow, this is a wild plant.”

Clee’s mind was sold to gwisaengcho.

Yes, I’ll be satisfied too and let’s gather elixirs.

Considering the effect, it wouldn’t be useful right away.

If you accumulate anything, the day will come when you will use it.

“If you need my blessing, let me know.”

A nymph who had been silent came to speak.

Wasn’t it the nymph who helped the mistletoe grow?

It must be your field of expertise.

However, as I said, the effect of gwisaengcho is useless right away.

Besides, Nymph’s Blessing {Nature} abilities consume my mana.

At least until you master the noble iron. Blessing is a seal.

After gathering non-herb, I checked my inventory.

As expected, it feels worthwhile digging several wells.

An item obtained in [Swampland of Predators].

[Worthy storage belt].

Extract the inventory expansion effect that depended on the item.

thanks to the clothing.

There was plenty of room in the inventory.

What he meant was simple.

whether it has become a wild plant

whether it’s deaf

whether it’s experience

‘It means that I can leave as full as possible.’

It looks like greed, but it is not greed.

What does greed mean to the incarnation of integrity and innocence?

okay.

It’s just to become a giant.

can’t miss anything.

It means my desperate struggle with a goal.

*

Glancing—

Klee looked at Ho-yeol from under the robe he was wearing.

‘…why did he do that?’

I never thought you would entrust the incapacitated ghost to yourself.

Ho-yeol’s actions were incomprehensible to Klee.

Because Klee was a skilled mage of the Mage Tower.

‘Something was very unfamiliar.’

It was because Ho-yeol’s behavior was different from the wizards of the Mage Tower that he had often seen.

Klee knew the sorcerers well.

I don’t know if it’s magic for wizards.

Basically, others were not the subject of great interest.

‘First of all, I’m like that too…’

Because I know that fact.

I made a firm determination before leaving the tower.

Even if Ho-yeol accompanies him as the person in charge.

As long as I’m safe, I’ll keep it.

But it was unexpected.

‘okay.’

thinking kindly

– “Cleodia.”

-“There is a procedure for collecting non-herb herbs.”

– “Look around.”

It was understandable that Ho-yeol warned him and stopped the ghosts with freezing magic.

Because you are in charge You probably didn’t want any problems with the tower.

‘But why did the last one…?’

Clee was filled with question marks in his head while defeating the ghosts.

Maybe because he’s a skilled mage, he can’t fathom the chief’s thoughts.

If it was Bellier, the senior mage, he would have noticed right away.

‘Hmm…’

I couldn’t get a feel for it.

So, Clee glanced at Ho-yeol from earlier.

I was wondering if there was a clue in that face.

‘I don’t know. Mr. Bellier!’

attitude at all times.

Expressionless as always.

Of course, that couldn’t have been possible.

A voice came from the screaming Claire.

“Why do you wonder?”

…omg.

Claire covered her mouth again.

Are you using the magic that sees through your heart now?

Hoyeol’s words continued to Clee, who felt his feet go numb for no reason.

“It’s a story about a ghost plant.”

…I’m glad you said that.

“yes. As far as the relationship between the wild plant and the mine is well…”

However, it was the same as blurring the horse’s tail.

Hundreds of thousands of non-herbs alone grow on the Arcana continent.

Of course, it is impossible to familiarize yourself with the effects and characteristics of each

.

“…yes?”

“Gwisaengcho is a non-medicinal herb that grows only where noble iron is buried.”

“!”

… had to?

‘How on earth does Chief Lee Ho-yeol have such extensive knowledge about medicinal herbs? This is information that I couldn’t find even in the books of the Mage Tower…?’

And why such valuable information?

‘Are you casually informing me?’

No matter how you think about it, Ho-yeol was not like a wizard.

…Are you really not a wizard?

To such an absurd level.

But Hoyeol’s words did not end there.

“The environment in which non-herb plants grow. If you stop using it, it will be just useless information. However, I also gave it to you because I am also thinking about how to grow your research non-herb.”

“…!”

You said you were thinking about my research?

When did the regular academic conference end?

So far?

‘…why?’

I don’t know why, but he was also the chief.

From the academic year until now.

Have you ever stopped thinking about work?

Claire couldn’t help but admire again.

‘I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do it even if someone tells me to!’

*

A more complicated mine that is entangled with the building forest.

It was none other than a nymph who served as a guide.

“Come this way.”

Nymphs could also communicate with plants, including trees.

Where the gwicheol is buried in gisaengcho.

It was thanks to listening to the story and figuring out the location.

‘It’s a complete shortcut.’

[Mantra Mine – Sector 1].

The shortest route to the [Iron Noble], the boss monster of the rift. Information about [Iron Noble] was also confirmed in the update history.

[Iron Noble: Lv.650]

It’s just a level 650 monster.

It’s going to be pretty tight.

Be careful.

I thought so at the time and passed it on.

Now that I know it’s related to Gwicheol.

It was a very plausible name.

And above all, I was happy.

‘This huge mine wasn’t just closed.’

Knowledge of all minerals.

If it had not been for the prior knowledge of ear iron.

I must have had a hard time fighting the [Iron Noble].

Soon, the wings of the nymph that had been advancing ahead came to a halt.

“This is it.”

I said to Claire.

“Cleodia wait here.”

Even when I didn’t know

Because now I know

Klee’s support was not needed.

Again—

the one who greeted me was a huge iron giant.

He was tall enough to be 3 meters tall, and even the armor that covered his body tightly. Considering that the level is level 650, you can’t help but be overwhelmed by the sense of intimidation.

however.

“That look is like an infallible warrior.”

I couldn’t be intimidated.

I mean, apart from Grandfel’s personality, he knew.

That that huge body is just an illusion.

Yes, [Iron Nobleman] was an illusion created by Gwicheol.

“But you cannot fool my eyes.”

Ear iron.

Isn’t that as mean as the name possessed by iron?

[Iron Noble] was a warrior no matter who saw it.

It made me want to cross swords.

However, as I said, it was a fake made by Gwicheol.

Just like a ghost.

It’s a ghost that can’t be attacked by physical attacks.

“Those tricks don’t work for me.”

So, what is needed at this moment.

It wasn’t a sword, it was magical power.

That’s right, the magical power he had stored up to acquire noble iron.

Gooooo—

I immediately raised my magic power.

Although [Natural Enemy Relations] did not activate. Does it mean that as the level goes up, the magic power also goes up? I could feel the flow of magical power that had changed from me.

“You know right away. You are not a stupid idiot.”

A voice like scraping metal came from the [Iron Demon].

It must be the voice of Gwicheol.

You’re talking about iron.

If it was me in the past, I would have made a fuss.

Aren’t I the one who knows everything about gwicheol?

‘It’s only natural that I can talk.’

It was.

There was a reason why noble iron was treated similarly to minerals called minerals in legends. That’s right, because Gwicheol was the material for the Ego Sword.

Ego Sword.

A sword with an ego.

A precious existence that has been full of rice cakes since the days when Arcana was just a game. However, it is not known that not only players but even Arcanaians possessed Ego Swords.

That’s how valuable your body is.

The reason could be guessed.

‘First of all, it’s a problem from discovering the noble iron.’

Noble iron is basically a rare mineral.

However, it also had a will, as if it were lacking.

No, it would be closer to stubbornness than willpower. that one.

Hissing sound again.

“Wizard. Do you think I will yield to you?”

To put it simply, it meant that it didn’t come into my hands easily. That’s probably why he created the illusion. I remembered how to harvest precious iron.

‘Receive recognition or subdue, one of the two.’

Whatever it is, it won’t be easy.

So, aren’t the mercenaries who somehow heard rumors about Gwi-cheol and became vengeful spirits?

But that’s it.

‘Because I’m stubborn as well.’

No, I have more pride than stubbornness.

I cast my magic on the [Iron Noble] who rushed at me.

Armor is just an appearance.

Because I know that entity is a ghost.

What I chose was pure magic.

Shushung-!

Senior Magician of Pure Magic, Bangrit Tom.

I manifested the ray of magical power that he usually used as a deterioration plate.

Let’s compensate for the difference in power according to the difference in horsepower by adding [Esthetic] stats…!

Wow-!

I don’t know how effective that effort was.

Once gorgeous.

Just eat one and go.

“…you’re not an ordinary wizard.”

zigzag.

It didn’t take long for the extending magic beam to bend brilliantly.

Shusuk-!

Shuwaak-!

I began to pierce the [Iron Noble] here and there. I see the sight and feel it again.

I mean. Didn’t you just say that [Giyi] is on a similar level to ‘Gyeongji’?

“But neither can you subdue me.”

However, the body of the guy is noble to the end.

[Iron Noble] stood up again.

Maybe that’s why it’s so difficult

‘If I can’t break Gwicheol’s stubbornness.’

In the end, you have to destroy the noble iron.

It was because he was saying that he could escape from the endlessly reviving [Iron Demon].

I checked the remaining horsepower.

The remaining magic power is about 70%.

‘While the mana endures, will I be able to break Gwicheol’s stubbornness?’

It’s not that there is no.

‘I have to break it.’

From just struggling not to sink.

More than promised to struggle to move forward.

It was an opportunity not to be missed for me.

There is a saying that if there are no teeth, it is with the gums.

Yes, unless you have magic power.

You can bring anything.

I mean, there are wells that I dug for that.

The battle with the [Iron Noble] continues.

A match between a wizard and a ghost.

Thanks to that, I overpowered him, but the amount of mana consumed was also extreme.

Of course, like a noble body, Gwicheol’s stubbornness was not broken.

‘In the end, I have no choice but to bring out the next number.’

After magic is black magic.

Even if there was no magic power, ‘appropriate magic power’ was sufficient.

however.

“I will never give in… Wizard…!!”

I hesitated at the sound of Gwicheol’s screaming voice.

“Even if it destroys itself, it does not give in. The only thing that can subdue me is a swordsman with the skills I can serve…!”

You weren’t usually stubborn either.

It’s a level of pride that transcends stubbornness.

Of course, it was something I couldn’t ignore.

No, I’m not a wizard.

Clack—

I calmly raised my sword.

And I took a breath.

The sword spirit that swayed on the blade.

My insignificant level.

-“Because on the battlefield between life and death, swordsmanship becomes thicker and takes on its own color.”

Thanks to all the battles in the rifts for me.

Thanks to always being treated as a crossroads between life and death.

My swordsmanship was incomparably thicker than before.

without the slightest shake.

It gave off its own ‘lofty’ light.

Suddenly, a voice full of emotion was heard.

“Swordsmanship…! You are the one I’ve been waiting for!”
