The Player Hides His Past Chapter 318

Episode 318. Still funny (2)

Serung!

Baal’s sword that destroyed the Serun continent in one blow.

It was the moment when a sword attack with immeasurable destructive power was reaching towards me.

That drama—?!

At the same time as the grotesque sound, Baal’s forearm creaked.

Demons from the underworld who stepped on Ceorn and climbed up shouted at the scene.

“What is the situation?”

“Why are you aiming at empty space…?”

“O Baal!”

Even if it’s a demon, they say it’s a Grand Fel that can’t be overlooked.

There was no way to deal with those demons.

That’s because the scene I’m watching is the past that I can’t intervene in.

Why can you be sure it’s the past?

I am a demon hunter.

I saw demon lords sent to hell by my hand on the ground.

In that sense, I was startled by Baal again.

Past and present.

Baal transcended the timeline and became aware of my existence.

Even that was not enough, he even swung his sword.

It is indeed an existence that sinks a worldview with a single knife.

but.

Didn’t you already spit it out through this guy’s snout?

“Understanding was not desired from an inferior race.”

In front of the approaching sword of Baal.

In front of the destructive force that shattered the Ceorn continent in one blow.

I continued without backing down a bit.

“Consider it an honor. Let me personally enlighten you.”

Of course, this was a thoroughly calculated move.

the same words spoken.

Is it because you know how to hunt Baal?

no it can’t be

I just believe

The experience I have accumulated as a player…!

‘The battle does not happen.’

Yes how strong Baal was.

aware of my existence.

The system doesn’t lie.

As long as the appropriate level didn’t come to mind in the message.

‘You can’t hit me, can you?’

Baal, you are my hair.

Not even a well-trimmed hem.

that it cannot be touched.

‘Despicable? whatever.’

did you say

It’s not unfounded confidence.

This is the shameless reason why I didn’t blink an eye.

Kkeuggeuk!

A muscle rupture sounded from Baal’s forearm.

Unlike me, the expressions of the demons on the ground are terribly concerned. The perplexed voices of the demon lords can be clearly heard through the demon hunter’s hearing.

“Why are you making such an enormous sacrifice in vain, Baal!! Do you know how much sacrifice the Demon World has made for this day? The Pandemonium cannot be satisfied with only three continents. Fulfill the contract. It means to open the door to the Arcana Continent with that sword!!”

Oh, there was a reason why it was dead? Apparently, according to the contract, Baal had to open the way to the Arcana continent following the Ceorn continent.

But as you can see.

It’s because he sensed me watching the past through the curse.

I swung the sword that was supposed to face the Arcana continent at me.

“You are so stupid.”

“How can that be the king of kings…?”

“…everything went wrong. The sky closes.”

“To miss such an opportunity!”

“Baaaaaaaar!!”

The cries

of the Demon Kings are becoming a reality.

The sword that had been swinging toward the empty air stopped. The grip that held the sword loosened. Baal’s forearm grotesquely bent and twisted, and soon began to be sucked into the cracked sky.

Kugoong…!

Soon, silence came as if nothing had happened.

A message popped up in front of my eyes.

[The Pandemonium becomes one with ‘Seorn Continent’.]

Two completely different worlds have become one.

Where have you heard of this?

Yes, this was also odd.

The devil-worshiper Karimzeba had said.

– “The devil is just a means. If you are, don’t you know? What the Arcana Continent needs is the true truth!”

Thanks to you, I was able to notice.

I didn’t know what you were talking about at the time.

You were talking about me dealing with oddities, Karimzeva.

Yes.

Baal is the realm of strangeness.

The presence at the top was certain.

No, considering that he was the Demon King of the Ten Thrones that existed from the beginning… It would be correct to say that he was born in Kii, not like me who entered the realm of Kii.

But that’s it.

That’s why I’m sure I can hunt you, Baal.

struggling or whatever.

Because I was steadily advancing step by step in the realm of oddity. If there is a peak, the owner of a personality that unlocks his intellect only when he reaches it is the noble Grandfel.

furthermore.

‘Anyway, it’s still the same class, right?’

Some people will laugh at me for being so shameless.

however.

Why am I shameless?

I chanted toward the closed sky.

“Did you pull out your tail? You know how to figure out the subject.”

Even beings at the apex of the realm of strangeness are demons.

for me

To Grandfel, even a Baal is no different from a low-level demonic imp.

‘…Anyway, it’s a bit like saying that he took off his tail.’

I was in the middle of figuring out the subject.

My vision started blurring.

The Devil Worshiper The flow he can’t go against his will.

real truth.

The past has shown me the power of Baal.

The curse had run out.

.

.

.

[The curse ‘unstoppable flow’ has been purified.]

[Relationship with Akkshan has increased.]

[Influence at Akkshan has increased.]

Like Akkshan’s recurring quests, the relationship and influence have increased. Of course, that’s not what’s important. My gaze turned to the wall of infinity that had been covered with curses.

‘Still, there won’t be any wrinkles.’

Thanks to the successful purification, the curse had completely disappeared. The demon worshiper’s corpse was nowhere to be seen. It must have been devoured by Mugan according to Mugan’s rules because his life force was exhausted.

I said.

“It was lousy until the very end.”

In the end, I must have returned after denying even the final outbursts left by the devil worshipers. Why do you think I hoped my heart would be broken after witnessing the power of Baal?

“You too. So it was with the devil who claimed to be the king of kings.”

Rather, it only instilled useless confidence in Grandfel.

by the way.

…what time is it now?

Even time flows freely in the middle of the night, but I entered the curse. Even if it wasn’t a long time in terms of experience, it was an incident that could be an annoyance to certain procedures.

It’s obvious what I’m going to say.

“You have wasted precious time.”

I said coldly and got out of the darkness.

Kung—

The door to Mugan closed and I climbed the stairs. As I climbed the stairs, I looked back at my cube. I wonder how much I would have to struggle to make it all come true…

Looking back, it wasn’t just bluffing, was it?

– “I cannot be satisfied with only the three-year-old continent. Fulfill the contract. It means to open the door to the Arcana Continent with that sword!!”

The time when the Seorn continent was destroyed was in the past.

If I didn’t enter the curse.

What if Baal had opened the door to the Arcana continent as per the contract…?

Wouldn’t the history of the Arcana continent have changed significantly?

‘Is my cubic tablet blocking that?’

Of course I can’t be sure. Just because Baal was aware of my existence, the timeline seemed like a complex concept that I couldn’t fathom.

‘Should I study science now?’

At times like this, I feel resentful of being a liberal arts major.

Still, one thing was certain.

That Baal is not an unapproachable being.

Perhaps because of this, my steps were light and unstoppable.

again.

As expected, time passed and sunlight was shining on the mage tower. The magic tower was crowded with people from early on. When the sound of shoes echoed in such a lobby, my eyes were unwillingly focused.

Eventually, a whisper is heard.

“…Lee Ho-yeol!”

“What is it? Was there an underground passage in the magic tower?!”

“What happened this morning?”

“Start with the breaking news right now!”

However, I was the one who didn’t care about the gaze and evaluation of others.

I went straight to the portal.

Let’s hurry, because we have to stop by the Arcana Continent tonight.

[Zero Mountains]

[Recommended level: Not recommended for anyone]

[Destruction: 100%]

Players look up at Zero Mountains.

“Kya, in the old days, I wanted to climb that.”

“After Cataclysm, I completely forgot about it, actually.”

“Anyway, I think I’ve come a long way.”

The daunting first entry into the Zero Mountains.

It was Zero Mountain Range, which was not recommended to anyone, but the number of players active in Zero Mountain Range, led by rankers, was increasing. Thanks to this, tips and information about the monsters that appeared were spreading one by one.

The archer with the bow on his shoulder adjusted his glasses.

“From level 400, it’s more efficient than most rifts.”

“Still, I thought everyone was level 400 like me.”

“Actually, I only ran after seeing level 400.”

The four players maintained a moderate tension.

Sword and shield staff bow.

Each lifted his gear and climbed the Zero Mountains.

“Oh wait! I actually got a map from an explorer I know! Someday, if you enter the Zero Mountains, it will definitely be useful…”

Everyone was delighted at the words of the wizard holding the staff.

“An explorer’s map?! It’s not an ordinary map, is it? I’ve only seen it on nettube videos… I heard that it plays a role similar to navigation.”

“Is that real?”

“I will hold the cane. Feel free to browse the map.”

“Oh thank you. Thanks to you, I found it!”

[Leader Explorer’s Map: Zero Mountain Range]

[Rating: Rare]

[Restriction: None]

[Completion: 3.2%]

[Description: A map created by an Explorer belonging to the Alliance. The explorer’s footsteps will be your guide.]

At first glance, the information window was shabby.

Only 3.2 percent while only recording the lowlands.

At a glance, you might want to use something like this.

But in the vast Zero Mountains, 3.2 percent is by no means small.

[The explorer’s footsteps illuminate the area.]

A pattern of footprints that appeared in the area at the same time as the message.

“So this footprint serves as a milestone?”

“yes! If you look closely… it reminds me of information like this!”

“I never thought you’d bring me this precious thing.”

“We will do our best, Wizard!”

“Ay, say something.”

Even in the lowlands of the Zero Mountains, where new strategies are being updated, it is natural to be worried at first. However, thanks to the explorer’s map illuminating the area, the players were able to ease their mental burden.

rustle!

Suddenly, a presence came from the distant forest.

The players were not taken aback and checked the footprints around them.

Judging from the cute little footprints…

“I’m guessing it’s a mountain sparrow?”

Mountain Sparrow: Lv.430.

Because I was memorizing the moon.

Specific information immediately comes to mind.

“I can’t believe this little thing is level 430.”

“When you think of the rankers who struggled with rabbits, you must not be careless.”

“It’s difficult if they come in groups, so I lure them in one by one!”

Even if you’re not far behind the ranker, if you’re level 400, you’re treated as a high-level veteran. In particular, players who have reached a high level after the cataclysm have a real sense of combat gained from a life-and-death struggle.

That’s why I noticed.

shaking.

Unusual body changes.

“…Am I the only one who’s nervous?”

Level 430 was a formidable level, but at the same time it was a level that could be dealt with with a pincer attack. However, the body did not listen too much.

Knock-!

It wasn’t the player’s own misunderstanding.

Something in the bush that is gradually getting closer.

To be called a mountain range sparrow, the pressure it felt was indescribable.

The wizard made up his mind.

‘You have a map. The map given to me by Huigang.’

There are no monsters that could pose a threat in the current area.

That’s a sparrow. It’s a mountain sparrow.

However, in the middle of making up my mind, I realized.

“…But is the sound of the sparrow moving that loud?”

It was then.

Booths!

Something that was approaching in the woods was fully revealed.

Before their astonishment, their eyes flickered.

It was an appearance message.

[‘Moon Glaive Bear’ appears in the area.]

“…!”

Information that comes to mind as well.

Moon Glaive Bear: Lv.700.

Why did a monster that even rankers had to cling to and hunt appeared in the lowlands of the mountain range? In a situation where life was at stake, there was no question.

‘shit!’

There is no odds.

I had to run away.

But can I run away from a level 700 monster…?

“Everybody run away…!”

fleeting moment.

I hesitated, and my words trailed off.

It’s already too late. One shot must be endured.

It was the moment when he made a promise and raised his shield.

“…?”

then it was seen

Moon Glaive Bear’s eyes.

The pupils, shining softly like the moon, seemed possessed by something.

No, it’s like I’m completely fascinated.

He was moving his massive body without paying attention to the players.

“Wait, do you have any directions?!”

However, the 300 level gap is dangerous just because the lines overlap. Those backed by strength and agility were able to avoid them, but it was an unreasonable demand for a wizard who was preparing for a skill.

“Ughhh!”

The Wizard and the Moon Glaive Bear getting closer.

“…what?!”

But misfortune didn’t happen.

“How are you?”

fleeting moment.

A rock wall rising between the moon glaive bear and the wizard

.

and a voice heard.

“Are the four of you all?”

“…uh huh?!”

face yourself

Not even paying attention to players who are astonished.

Ho-yeol continued.

“Nevertheless, I do not believe in superstition.”

Even if you don’t know the meaning of the sound confidently.

.

.

.

Why do more things to do mean more interruptions?

At this point, it’s science.

It’s not just ‘Moon Glaive Bear’.

from top to bottom.

The Zero Mountains were flowing backwards. It meant that the high-level monsters that appeared in the highlands were coming down to the lowlands. As if they were possessed by something.

“Nevertheless, I do not believe in superstition.”

It’s okay, Grandfel.

As a superstitious person, I will concede this time.

Simply four players.

To dismiss it as death.

Because the phenomenon that was happening in the mountains was unusual.

I held my head upright.

And heightened the senses.

Why did I learn something?

The culprit behind the depravity was, to a large extent, the devil.

Then my eyes flickered.

Look, am I right?

It’s because I’m a demon.
