The Player Hides His Past Chapter 259

Episode 259. You have the qualifications to stand up

.

From the moment the class quest came to mind, I felt a strange sense of incongruity.

I didn’t understand.

The dragons, including Yunaxus, said they had definitely swallowed the seeds of the World Tree. They said it was to hatch their seeds using their corpses as food.

Naturally, questions arose.

So what seeds did I find in [The Predator’s Swamp]?

[World Quest: The Seed of the World Tree]

The crisis of extinction of the Arcana continent has arrived.

in a great crisis.

sprout new hope

—Germinate the seeds of the World Tree. (In Progress)

1 Seed of the World Tree currently found / Unknown

1 Seed of the World Tree that has now sprouted / Unknown

The Tree of Good and Evil is divided into Good and Evil.

The dragons swallowed the evil fruit.

I was able to hit it with my notice that the seed I sprouted was the seed of the world tree that Seon-gwa had been embracing. The question is who sown the seeds on the continent.

I was curious about that, so I asked Yunaxus.

-“Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about him.”

The answer that came back was yes.

Thanks, I was thinking about it in the middle of the day.

Maybe the division of good and evil in the world tree…

wasn’t it was a long time ago than I expected.

Why do we recall the condition of the seed we found?

There is nothing to say even if you mistake it for a rock, let alone a seed.

It looked as if it had been properly hit by the wind and waves of the years.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the [Pentagram of pure knowledge].

I wouldn’t have noticed that it was a seed either.

Who made good on the Arcana Continent.

Did you sow the seeds of the world tree?

As of now, there was no way to know.

Unless you find evidence.

Because everything is just speculation.

But with this, one thing is certain.

Whether it was the devil’s plan from the start or whatever.

“The World Tree was consumed by evil.”

The devil must have taken advantage of the severing relationship between the World Tree, the dragon, and the elves. Separation of good and evil in the world tree. First, the line was removed from the world tree and brought to the current situation.

Agentres did not accept it easily.

“…Evil dwells in your mother?”

Again, I screamed in anger.

“You are talking nonsense, man. Sisley is our land. If the devil had set foot on this land, we would have noticed its existence!”

I don’t mean to blame you elves.

Besides, you have to listen carefully.

Doesn’t the World Tree contain evil?

“Agentress.”

“Talk about it, human.”

“Behind the light there is always darkness.”

“…what?”

“If there is good, there must be evil on the other side.”

What is the seed of the real world tree in the first place?

It is the seed of the tree of good and evil where good and evil coexist.

It is common knowledge that beans grow when beans are planted, and red beans grow when red beans are planted.

That is to say.

Even when the world tree is fine.

It means that good and evil coexisted within the World Tree.

The elves, including Argentress, still did not understand.

“How dare you disrespect your mother?”

It’s a sad sound to say it’s disrespectful.

But I can’t express my sadness.

I spoke calmly.

“There is no perfect being in the world. World capitals are no exception.”

From the mouth of Grandfel, who always pursues perfection.

I didn’t know that such bold words would come out.

For a while, I added a reason.

“Because that is providence.”

Is it because I am so confident?

Argentress was silent.

But it was only a moment.

“Never compare good and evil to light and darkness.”

Yes, it’s not really a leap.

“You think your mother was harboring evil in your body? She is my mother and the mother of all things. Even for the sake of all things, there is no such thing as evil…! I mean, you wouldn’t have had it in the first place!”

“…regret?”

“You seem to still believe that the greenhouse is right.”

“…!”

greenhouse.

At the sound, Argentress’ face turned white.

Then, he turned his gaze to look at his own people.

Seeing that he managed to understand the meaning…

‘I guess you were paying attention too?’

Let’s think objectively.

In fact, even Lee Ho-yeol did not understand.

When I checked the content of the [Force of Good and Evil] class quest, I had doubts.

that good is good

I wondered if there was a need for good and evil to coexist in the world.

Of course, the doubts did not last long.

As expected, it was thanks to Grandfel.

“The World Tree believed.”

To be precise, it was thanks to Grandfel’s lofty pride.

“Like a single ray of light illuminates the darkness.”

“…?”

“As long as good exists, evil will have no choice but to fall to the ground.”

What is evil to Grandfel?

It was just an inferior thing that had no choice but to be weeded out naturally.

Denying its very existence out of fear of such an evil?

beyond the incomprehensible.

It’s something that didn’t exist in the first place.

‘It’s wonderful all over again. really.’

To form a consensus with the world tree?

It is a pride that surpasses filial piety and pierces the sky…!

It’s not that I’m wrong though.

But in the current situation.

It may not reach anyone.

Argentress had pointed out that fact.

“Providence? under! look at the current state Even now, as you said, Sisley has become the land of demons and my mother has collapsed from being consumed by evil. Can you always be sure that good conquers evil?”

I am Lee Ho-yeol.

I feel like I’ve been stabbed to the point.

To be precise, it felt like I was peeping into a flower garden in my head.

‘I don’t know that.’

No, actually, I know better than anyone.

Grandfell’s theory of pride.

More than anything else in the world, it’s closer to deterrence.

As much as I know the world shallowly.

Because it was the pride of my second year in middle school when I had nothing to fear in the world.

But that’s it.

“Not sure.”

so it doesn’t break

because it doesn’t break.

You can move forward.

And in the end, I will make that flower garden come true.

“I will.”

As always, I have nothing to say even if I point out that I am good at talking.

If you’ve watched it, don’t you know?

Even so, my promise fulfillment rate is quite compliant.

『The feeling of humility did not exist in Grandfel. Proof of underestimation. I had to make the overestimation a reality.”

Even if the process was messy.

Even in worse conditions than now.

It was me who produced results that I could not believe myself.

therefore.

This is not the time to put on a dumbfounded expression.

Agentress.

I spoke shamelessly.

“Open the way, Agentress.”

To the place where the evil of the beginning took root!

*

I just thought it was arrogant.

But now my mind is confused.

Because that was the realm of ‘something’ that transcended arrogance.

‘…how can I stay calm in this situation?’

The mother world tree is the beginning of existence.

To think that such a mother was ruled by evil.

To think that that too was eroded by the evil he harbored…

I desperately wanted to deny it.

Kwuk—

Agentress bit her lip.

‘…There are plenty of possibilities.’

Because he and his people did not fulfill their mission.

It wasn’t until she withered away and dried up that she noticed something.

It was only at the moment when I was about to reap the blessing that I went to see my mother.

‘Maybe I could have blocked it.’

Even if they are not kin.

If even one of me had fulfilled my mission…

Agentress was angry at that fact.

The fact that I could have made everything right, but I couldn’t.

‘It’s my mistake.’

for eons of time.

To the point of blaming myself for something I had never done before.

That’s why I couldn’t understand it any more.

How could that man keep his composure?

Again—

I could tell just by hearing the footsteps.

I didn’t feel any fear in the straight stride.

The primordial evil that engulfed her mother.

with just that modifier.

It was almost unbelievable that he was advancing towards something that made him nervous.

Can’t you help but think that way?

Click—

because in that hand he was even holding a teacup he didn’t know where he had taken it from.

‘Even a lizard can’t do that.’

The man was doing something that even a dragon praised as the king of all things could not do. Could it be the influence of ‘something’ beyond arrogance? Agentress suddenly remembered what the man had said.

– “I will.”

Unknowingly, I asked myself.

‘…If only a man did that, what would be different?’

However, he soon clenched his fists.

‘No, nothing changes.’

mother is already dead

The green leaves had long since withered and fallen, and his body was as dry as firewood. Even if the man drove out the evil that engulfed his mother, nothing would change.

also.

‘Our mistakes do not disappear either.’

Even if it diverged, it diverged a long time ago.

Maybe according to the man’s words.

Maybe everything went wrong from the beginning.

Shuk—

Agentress looked at the man.

‘It’s miserable, Agentress.’

I laughed at myself.

The man was a being who truly made himself shabby.

Is it because he admits his inferiority?

Argentress was expecting it without realizing it.

I wondered if a man could really fix everything.

However, the moment he faced the world tree.

“…mother?”

Hope disappeared like a bubble.

They left for the Arcana Continent to find the whereabouts of the blessing.

In the meantime, the mother left alone in Sisley.

It was miserably broken.

To the extent that it cannot be called the mother of all things.

He was rolling on the floor in a miserable state.

“…”

However, Argentress didn’t say anything.

Now that you know that everything is your fault.

So I was willing to accept any rebuke.

‘You can laugh as much as you like, humans.’

As I said, expectations are gone.

Even if I am a man.

I wouldn’t have expected my mother to be like that.

There’s really no way to use your hands.

It was the moment when Argentress looked helplessly at the horrors.

Again—

“…?”

Ho-yeol, the man, stepped forward.

without saying anything.

I thought I would accept any vitriol.

It was a different reaction than expected.

It was the moment when Argentress stared at Hoyeol.

Hoyeol stopped in front of the remains of the World Tree.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

“Exorcism.”

Agentress spat out words that he couldn’t understand.

However, the doubts did not last long.

Because change started right away.

Roaring!

“…!!!”

The scattered remains of her mother burned.

broken pillar.

stump left behind.

dry roots.

Broken and sprawled tree branches.

It started to be engulfed in flames without leaving anything behind.

“Ah…”

The sound of the people’s agitation is heard.

But Agentresse couldn’t move.

Because of the hierarchy of blessings?

no, not for that reason.

“mother…?”

It was because the burning flame was blue.

Like the leaves my mother used to bloom.

Like mourning your mother’s death.

It was because the green flame burned fresh.

further.

I felt the warmth.

After losing the blessing.

A warmth that I couldn’t feel reached my whole body.

It is the warmth that lovingly cares for all things.

It was mother’s warmth.

however.

‘…not my mother.’

Argentress was not mistaken.

Mother is dying and burning.

So this warmth does not come from the mother.

Then whose warmth is it?

There is only one thing you can look at.

it was hot

A posture that doesn’t shake at all.

The only thing that moves is silver hair.

Argentress watched her back and spoke softly.

“Agentress will finally understand her mother’s will…”

A lofty vision that overlooks everything.

An aesthetic eye that looks for beauty in any insignificant thing.

A formality that does not waver in the face of any horrors.

It is ‘something’ that embraces all of that.

Yes.

It was the closest being to the World Tree.

.

.

.

I looked at the quest goal.

—Train your weakened body. (Repeat)

─Enter Sisli, the land of the elves. (Success)

– Encounter the primordial evil rooted in Sisley. (Failure)

─Trace the beginning of evil. (In progress)

The World Tree is broken in two.

Thanks to this, the primordial evil that was trapped in the world tree disappeared.

I thought as I looked at the message that came to mind.

‘Maybe…’

Was this also a planned story?

Why, like the class quest of the Archmage or Dragon Knight.

It’s a fixed story for the Demon Hunter class quest.

Through this ordeal, me, the last demon hunter.

It’s for the purpose of growing a little more.

‘Well, it must be unknown now.’

So I just do what I can.

The world tree that was engulfed by evil was cremated through the exorcism ceremony.

Tracking down the primordial evil as the quest goal.

That’s what I’ll have to do from now on.

This time, in the end, are you going to shoulder everything by yourself?

if anyone asks

I will answer that question with a ‘yes’.

The flashing message at this moment is.

Because it wasn’t just quest messages.

[A change occurs due to the sublime effect.]

[The relationship with Hidden Peace Sisley increases significantly.] [

The influence in Hidden Peace Sisley greatly increases.]

Plop ─

At the same time.

A sound came to my ears.

Argentress knelt in front of me.

[Hierarchy of Blessing] effect is not.

Are you real?

The message that comes to mind is proof of that.

[You have acquired command over Elf Argentress.]

[107 elves under Elf Argentress]

[Current status: Waiting for orders]

I was on my knees earlier.

I’m not a sleazy enough person to get down on my knees one more time.

I opened my mouth.

“You may wake up.”

However, the answer I heard was surprising.

“I won’t wake up.”

…ah I see what you mean.

Are you sincerely regretting it?

yes i think i’m lucky

That’s because I’ve come to terms with it lately.

however.

‘That’s it…’

Everyone has to get up now?!

That’s his personality.

I mean, I have no patience.

[You have acquired the class-specific skill ‘Guardian Spirit of Akkshan’.]

Reward from the class quest.

I had just activated my newly acquired skill.

So get up now, everyone…!

otherwise.

“…?!”

Akshan’s guardian spirit.

Aww wow-!!

It might go against the heart of 『Akkshan Wolf』.
