The Player Hides His Past Chapter 116

Episode 116. Devil’s Castle (2)

Clear victory news.

For him, I needed steady preparation.

No, I had no choice but to prepare diligently.

The Lion Heart Knights under Harkon.

Shadow Mercenaries.

Goddess Church.

mage tower.

Even if it’s to avoid showing the bottom line to allies who follow me regardless of the reason.

In that sense, after a long time, I stopped by the Magic Tower Garnet Hall.

Finally level 390.

Compared to the overrated ratings received, it still falls far short.

‘It’s grown compared to a few months ago.’

Looking around the magic tools in Garnet Hall.

I remember the first time I stopped by Garnet Hall.

Because of the level limit, my mouth drools, but in the end, the 100 level limit.

All I had to do was bring this [Sexy Star Brooch] and come out.

Yeah, thinking back then, I now have a lot of options.

“Chief Lee Ho-yeol is the last one.”

A skilled mage who manages Garnet Hall.

He politely bowed his head and greeted me.

Then he added a word.

“I hope there are magic tools that suit the chief’s eyes.”

It’s Garnet Hall’s magic tool.

For me, painting is still the bread for the most part.

But I immediately understood the meaning of the words.

‘The purpose is to crush the Demon King.’

I conveyed the plan to the senior mages of the Mage Tower, including Marcelo.

Was my meaning conveyed accurately? Since then, lines about [Renting magic tools] have been constantly appearing on the parchment.

‘Everyone borrowed an amazing magic tool.’

[Golden statue of fantasy].

[Small Magic Sun].

Even the [Great Sage’s staff]…

I didn’t see any big magic tools even after looking around.

It must have been borrowed by senior wizards.

I must have rented it because I could use it.

I roughly recalled twenty invisible magic tools.

‘Because the lowest level limit was level 800.’

The senior mage’s level must be at least level 800.

I suddenly realized the gap once again.

I thought I had grown up on my own.

‘It’s the difference between heaven and earth.’

Moreover, I am Karimzeba and Senios.

And it was because they even guessed the existence of a high-ranking demon king that even they could not touch.

sky and earth. And even the beings outside the heavens that cannot be compared with such a sky.

‘…Still a long way to go.’

It is a very ambitious goal.

Ordinary people would lose their morale.

However, I was an ordinary person who was Grand Fell.

“Not bad.”

A lofty pride that seems to be able to pierce even the heavens!

Thanks to that, I was able to calmly choose the magic tool to borrow.

Anyway, the magic tools borrowed by the senior wizards were items that I couldn’t even wear because I was only level 390.

“Do it with this.”

I fit my level.

At least wearable.

A total of three magic tool items were rented.

[Token of the gust of wind]

[Rating: Unique]

[Limit: Lv.350]….

[Luxury – White elytra]

[Rating: Unique]

[Limit: Lv.350]….

[ Masterpiece – Lightning-Struck Twig Wand]

[Rating: Unique]

[Limit: Lv.380]….

Rings, clothing, and wands.

It also conformed to Grandfell’s aesthetic sense, and there were only three items that had a level limit that I could use.

The wizard who was skilled in the magic tool I chose was startled.

“…Are you really going to be okay with only these magic tools?”

Even if I wanted to choose something else, I couldn’t help it because my level wasn’t enough.

Confessing one’s shortcomings, of course?

As long as there is pride in your heart, it was impossible.

I had no choice but to speak shamelessly.

“This is enough.”

“…!”

Respectful gazes pouring on me soon.

It was clear that I had misunderstood somehow.

I was the only one who took that gaze for granted.

I’m so embarrassed…..

.

.

.

But aside from that shame.

Grandfell’s discernment was amazing.

The evidence was appearing on the status window.

[Name: Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo]

[Title: Last Adventurer]

[Class: Demon Hunter]

[Level: 390]

[Ability]

Strength: 67 / Agility: 73 / Magical Power: 350 / Luck: 6 / Aesthetic : Medium

[Possessed points: 0]

[Aesthetic] stats have risen.

It’s probably thanks to the extra two [luxury] items he wore. It’s good that his stats, which hardly changed in [Lower], have risen… but

it’s impossible to feel him until he uses proper magic.

But there was no need to fret.

──────

A new rift ‘Demon King’ is added.

A new crack ‘Demon Castle’ is added.

A new crack ‘Demon Castle’ is added.

──────

Exactly as expected.

Because the demon king appeared in the update history.

Even three of them.

Well, I expected even the worst of this, so there was no surprise.

I immediately jumped into action.

He picked up a feather pen and scrawled on the parchment.

Susuk─

──────

From now on, I will crush the demon king according to the procedure.

──────

[Demon King] Crack.

The collapse progress was soaring in real time.

It was because of the time when the decay rate of ordinary cracks increased by 0.1% at most, the decay rate of demonic cracks increased by 1%, 10 times that.

“…I have never seen a rate of decay like this.”

“How much do you think you’re running amok in there?”

“Does it mean that the power is so strong that even cracks cannot handle it?”

amidst numerous concerns.

Additional update notes that surfaced.

There, the appropriate level of the fissure in the castle was specified.

[Demon Castle of Rhyme]

[Recommended Level: Lv.800]

[Demon Castle of Indulgence]

[Recommended Level: Lv.800]

[Demon Castle of Hunting]

[Recommended Level: Lv.850]

“…!!!”

Maybe that statement is wrong?

Or maybe my eyes are looking at nothing.

It was a figure that raised unnecessary suspicion.

“A level 800 rift? How could you do something like that…?”

[Crack in the broken dimension] The situation was different from the crack.

The difference between urgent and regular updates.

Because it was definitely not a bug.

But the astonishment did not stop there.

Following the appropriate level, the owner of the Demon Castle.

It had risen to the level of the demon lords.

[Demon King Amdusias: Lv.800]

[Demon King Kimaris: Lv.820]

[Demon King Flauros: Lv.850]

“This is crazy.”

Truly a demon king.

Beings who drive the world into fear just by their advent.

Even if Amdusias, the lowest level among the three, had appeared, mankind would not have been able to come up with a proper solution.

But to think that such a guy is only the weakest of the three demon lords.

“…senior branch manager?”

Hyunjun Seong.

Yoon Soo-gyeom.

And Minjae Park, the head of the AAU Korea branch.

They, too, were confronted with that devastating update history.

Seong Hyun-jun barely continued.

“Yeah! Well, let’s say that this demon castle is somehow blocked by dropping a nuclear bomb. What next? Then, what should the Demon King do?”

Demon King Decaravia.

Information about the Demon King that I found out through him.

The demon king’s motif is 72 demons.

There is also a hierarchy among demon lords.

According to the ranking, Decarabia is at the bottom of the list.

That information was also valid for the three demon kings who appeared this time.

because you know that

The two couldn’t answer Sung Hyun-jun’s words.

Park Min-jae said in a dejected voice.

“You mean those monsters are only ranked 67 66 64?”

67 Amdusias.

66th Kimaris.

64th Flauros.

It was.

Guys, too, if you look at it broadly.

Like Dekarabia, he belonged to the weak among the 72 demon lords.

“Chief…”

Just a few days ago, the AAU finished figuring out the subject.

I can’t predict all threats like in the past, but I will do everything I can to protect humanity from Arcana.

however.

“…what can we do about this?”

Minimum 800 levels, maximum 850 levels.

If those demon lords are weak.

What is the level of the top demon lords?

That was literally an unimaginable threat.

It was a reality in which even the barely finished grasp of the subject was denied.

“Fuck you.”

Park Min-jae swallowed his saliva.

The feeling of being stuck in the dark of despair.

Is that why?

The only flesh hole he remembered a few days ago.

A thought reached Lee Ho-yeol, who was hopeful.

‘Lee Ho-yeol’s expected level is about level 900.’

Players will recognize players better.

It was Lee Ho-yeol’s level that was predicted by combining the evaluations of rankers including Rox and the progress he had shown so far. Park Min-jae brought out common sense from the days when Arcana was a game.

‘If it was a normal monster, I might have been able to deal with it.’

It’s because of the level.

However, even for named monsters, there is a strong tricky pattern that surpasses the level. Didn’t you confirm that fact in the [Swamp of Predators] rift?

However, the opponent was the Demon King.

As stated in the update history, it is a boss monster.

‘No matter how much Lee Ho-yeol is…’

Moreover, even if the level is 50 to 100 ahead.

It was impossible to hunt the boss monster alone.

No, it must be difficult to reach the boss monster.

‘Because there will be 10 named monsters attached to the system.’

Well—

Park Min-jae bit his dry lips.

The sight of Dekarabia came to mind. Of course, the commander of the named monster demon corps. I couldn’t think of it without mentioning the Demon King’s army, which boasted an enormous amount.

‘Breaking through that siege and reaching the Demon King?’

I don’t know if it’s one.

There were a total of three fissures in the castle.

even.

‘The situation is different from Frost.’

At that time, Frost had not completely become the domain of Decavaria.

The recapture quest that occurred to the players was proof of that.

However, this time it was no different from entering the main base of the demon king.

It was natural that the level of difficulty of the attack would be different.

So the more I rolled my head, the only thing that came out was a sigh.

“Chief. Player Lee Ho-yeol said he moved.”

“…okay? It’s really consistent.”

“Does Ho-yeol have no fear?”

That’s why I couldn’t be happy even when I heard the news that Lee Ho-yeol had moved.

Unlike the exhilarating mass media, haven’t they already run simulations in their heads?

“shit.”

Lee Ho-yeol.

It felt like he was walking on a limb.

I would like to dry it if I could.

But that uncomfortable feeling didn’t last long.

It was because the information came in.

“Bar Park branch manager?!”

Frost Lion Heart Knights.

The shadow mercenaries of Yusra Kingdom.

Holy Land Muon Holy Knights.

And to the magic tower.

As if they were waiting for Lee Ho-yeol’s footsteps to fall, they started to move simultaneously. Park Min-jae let out a laugh.

What am I watching right now…?

“This isn’t a game where you can use some kind of cheat key.”

Forces that are impossible to move as a player.

“Four of them are moving at the same time?”

Yes, I was able to understand even the shadow mercenaries after yielding a hundred times.

Because it was Arcana’s mercenaries who risked their lives if their interests coincided.

“Nonsense…”

But the rest is inexplicable.

Even if the relationship and influence reached the maximum.

They are the ones who put their beliefs first.

“What the hell did you do…?”

Could it be that Lee Ho-yeol moved even their beliefs?

The idea of hope grew bigger and bigger.

Seong Hyun-jun carefully opened his mouth.

“Wouldn’t that be possible? Clear the fissure of the castle.”

In response to the question, the two men, Park Min-jae and Yoon Su-gyeom, were silent.

The Knights of the Lion Heart and the Paladins of Muon.

Their level could be guessed at.

It will definitely be a great power for Lee Ho-yeol.

‘But even that might not be enough.’

I don’t know if it’s one.

Because there were three demon kings.

So, the whereabouts of the attack on the Devil Castle depended on the Shadow Mercenaries and the Magic Tower.

However, their level could not even be guessed by themselves, who were Arcana’s development team.

‘One is black. One is the best armed group on the continent.’

Please show activity worthy of that title.

All I could do was pray and watch.

Like uncomfortable feelings, of course.

That prayer didn’t last long either.

The observers couldn’t know the details.

Because the known information about the magic tower and the shadow mercenaries was only a small part.

But it could be predicted.

What unfolded was an outcome no one expected.

“…!”

A crack that disappears in midair.

This means that the crack has been cleared.

What I couldn’t believe was that time.

“This is not a dream, senior?”

They enter the fissure of the castle.

By the time less than 10 minutes had passed.

Because it was a scene that happened.

Park Min-jae, who was watching the scene on the monitor, murmured.

“…It was at a level I couldn’t even imagine, let alone guess.”

Literally.

The demon king had been trampled on.
