The Player Hides His Past Chapter 33

Episode 33. True nemesis (1)

Puff—!

[Lava Giant Nishikigoi: Lv. 420]

As difficult as it is to deal with, its body is bound to be weak.

If it ran rampant like that and its health was high, it wouldn’t be considered a level 420 monster anymore.

therefore.

Puff-!

Pooh-!

stone window.

It means that even a stone spear can land an effective hit.

Didn’t you think that the lava would split?

The giant Nishikigoi had dozens of stone spears stuck in its side.

It was wagging its tail.

It was for a moment, but it seemed that there was a restriction in movement.

There was no way that Harkon and the Lion Heart Knights would miss that gap.

Gooooo—

Harkon’s sword was dyed in a dark light.

‘…That’s not like a skill.’

Why did you think so?

Simple. Because I could see it at a glance.

‘How strong are you?’

his lofty heights.

『His innate magical talent was such that he could imitate most magic just by looking at it. Furthermore, even the potential of the body that is not inferior to that.”

…Thinking about it again, everything that is good was brought and pasted.

It was because, according to the setting, Grandfell possessed martial prowess comparable to magical talent. It must be able to measure the level of Harkon that makes the sword shine.

‘It’s definitely different from magical power.’

However, unlike magic, I can’t dare…?

Where do I start to get to that level?

It didn’t make sense to me.

of course.

“You seem a little interested.”

Although I opened my mouth arrogantly.

Let’s still think that good is good.

Rather than thinking pessimistically that it is not possible.

It would be better to be overflowing with unfounded confidence.

Of course, emitting light from the sword.

If you aim for the level of Harkon.

There will never be a day when the fatigue leaves my body.

Suoooo—

exactly as I expected.

Harkon really sashimied the lava giant koi.

“Everyone, wake up! It’s an opportunity!!”

“Elimination contribution! Secure it at all costs!”

“First of all, run through the cracked lava…. What?!”

The other players didn’t even have time to put a spoon on it.

A clap—

Harkon put his sword into the scabbard.

Just like that, the battle was over.

thump-!

Then, the head of the giant koi fell to the floor.

It really ends just like that.

At the same time, a message popped into my field of vision.

[The level has risen.]…

The level has risen to level 10.

I went from level 166 to level 176.

‘Experience isn’t bad.’

This was a bit surprising.

Because I had a party with the Lion Heart Knights.

I also had to contribute to the kill to get experience points.

Apart from lava, the lava giant koi itself wasn’t a tricky guy.

Apparently, a considerable contribution was recognized in that respect.

[The loot is acquired automatically with a high kill contribution.]

…No, it’s not a little, but more than half.

I immediately checked my inventory.

The treasure of the island that was acquired was giving off a presence.

[Island Treasure Nishikigoi Scale Silk]

[Rating: Unique]

[Restrictions: None]

[Effect: Grants flame attribute affinity increase effect to crafted item / Increases evasion rate / Applies aesthetic stat release effect to crafted item] [

Description: Same It is a silk that cannot be exchanged for heavy jewels. Since it is so rare, no one will dare to evaluate its value.]

Mr. Wah.

Following emerald crystal, another material item.

However, this was not an item to complain about…!

‘There are more than 3 confirmed effects?’

A pure emerald crystal.

The effect could only be confirmed after production.

As I said, it was because the effect fluctuated depending on the skill level of the creator.

However, there was no such condition attached to silk.

‘Even if other effects are ignored, new stats are opened.’

[Esthetic]…

It was a stat that I had never heard of and didn’t know about its effect, but I felt good.

Because he was a demon hunter with no unique stats.

If anything is newly opened, I will be able to use it gratefully.

Indeed, it was worth saying that it could not be exchanged for jewels of the same weight.

“It is beautiful.”

Above all, there is no flaw in the aesthetic sense of Grandfel.

That’s probably the biggest guarantee of quality.

The thought was over there.

“…Wait, what about the island’s treasure?”

someone said so

It must have been because the named monster was defeated, but the message didn’t come to mind.

If you ask politely and properly.

It wasn’t that difficult to answer.

however.

…Why did the eyes looking at me become more serious?

Degurur—

should I say that my eyeballs are rolling?

They look like they are looking at the message window and at me alternately.

But enough to care about the reason.

I was not idle.

‘It burned white.’

exhaustion of power.

Because the exhaustion of magical power was approaching.

…the whole body feels weak.

Fortunately, when the lava giant koi collapsed, the volcanic eruption stopped and the lava quickly cooled.

At this point, there will be no need to maintain magic anymore.

Harkon approached me soon.

“It was an admirable magic. Lord Hoyeol!”

His words shocked me twice.

‘I’m the one who admired it, right?’

once upon a time in his humility.

‘No, more than that, everyone is listening. what?!’

…Sir Hoyeol?

One more time at that embarrassing title.

fleeting time.

I was shocked again, but I didn’t show it.

I replied without changing my expression.

“Your swordsmanship was also excellent. Sir Harkon.”

Fortunately, no one laughed at me like that.

I would do just that.

did you say

It’s to the point where sometimes even I’m mistaken for method acting.

“…Nonsense.”

“I’ve never seen Harkon be so polite.”

“There is something arrogant about the way you talk. Could it be that he has a higher title than Harkon…?”

In my mind, I wanted to correct it.

There is no title at all.

And arrogant talk.

That this is the most polite attitude for me.

But it couldn’t be.

“!”

Suddenly, a message popped up in front of my eyes.

[The Yusra Islands begin to be stained with greed.]

[Collapse progress: 9/10]

The collapse progress has increased.

Of course, it wasn’t just a message that came to my mind.

The players groaned.

“I think I came up with something a little late…”

“Wait a minute, the numbers don’t match in the first place. this?”

“Isn’t the island’s treasure hidden somewhere else?!”

Other players may be confused.

But I wasn’t.

The island treasures I acquired did not affect the collapse progress.

that’s me

It was because the emotion of greed did not exist in Grandfel.

So, why did the message pop up?

I could guess.

An island treasure acquired by someone.

That the island’s treasure was once again stained with greed.

*

Supernova.

Park Hyeon-jun continued biting his nails.

His body was drenched with cold sweat.

-really? It’s the last one. No more chances?

– To keep watching like that?

-You said you wanted treasure? you are a coward

voice heard.

However, Hyunjun Park was not wearing earphones.

So, is this voice an hallucination?

It was natural to be suspicious and wary.

Park Hyeon-jun had no such spirit.

“shut up. I’ll take care of it…”

Park Hyeon-joon looked at the situation.

In the meantime, I witnessed Ho-yeol.

Even if it was removed, did the supernova still have a minimum of loyalty?

It was as Kinber said.

If you touched Ho-yeol without knowing anything…

“I don’t want to die yet.”

I thought I would have left my life as it was.

Well, looking at the current situation, I could feel it.

It wasn’t enough to cut through the lava, so he threw dozens of stone spears.

And next to Ho-yeol was one of the strongest NPC groups, the Lion Heart Knights.

Even if Kinber didn’t get rid of me, attacking Ho-yeol would be tantamount to committing suicide.

At this rate, it was obvious that Ho-yeol would acquire the treasure of the island.

“Fuck. It won’t work out.”

But if you go back empty-handed like this…

“…I’m finished.”

can’t go back like this

That means you need the treasure of the island.

Another hallucination sounded in Park Hyeon-jun’s ears.

-Then can I take it?

-What’s wrong with longing?

-What’s there to notice?

just take it away

‘There’s nothing to notice.’

Park Hyeon-joon’s eyes flashed at the sound.

“…okay!”

If it doesn’t work, kill another guy and steal it.

And Park Hyeon-joon knew.

The easiest prey among those who acquired the island’s treasure.

“There are Explorers’ League bastards…!”

League of Explorers.

It was one of the NPC groups that visited the Yusra Islands.

As the name suggests, they were explorers.

Of course, their fighting ability was not outstanding.

That was a feature that also appeared when I acquired the island’s treasure this time.

‘They said they obtained the island’s treasure without a fight.’

It was only the explorer class’ way.

Park Hyeon-joon’s eyes sank even more.

Yes, the important thing was not the method.

‘That those bastards have the island’s treasure.’

Park Hyun-joon was wearing earphones.

“I hunt the Explorers League.”

-…Who are you? Are you crazy? Touching an NPC?

-haha. Kinber and you are really crazy!

-I’m serious?

Hunting players and hunting NPCs were two different things.

Besides, this was turning the entire Explorers’ League into an enemy.

Considering the influence of the Explorers’ League in Arcana, it was something that should not have been done rationally.

However, Park Hyeon-joon did it.

“I take responsibility. Just watch.”

[The Seven Deadly Sins of Greed are watching you.]

[Judgement is clouded by unbearable desire.]

[Abnormity: Greed occurs.]

His pupils were already black.

And now it was.

Park Hyun-joon looked at the body scattered on the floor.

“Fuck.”

Killed an NPC belonging to the Explorers’ League.

It was the same as killing the player.

He killed the man who begged for his life.

Now come and kill people.

Park Hyeon-joon was not soft enough to be shaken.

That’s because there were too many players he’d killed so far.

But his body was trembling.

“…Fuck!”

You have obtained the treasure of the island.

The message that popped up made me realize that fact.

[The Yusra Islands begin to be stained with greed.]

[Collapse Progression: 9/10]

Even so, the desire boiling within did not stop.

My chest was stuffy.

“Fuck. fuck.”

Park Hyeon-joon untied his clothes like a madman.

“Ugh!!”

He rubbed his stuffy chest at random.

At that time, a crowd gathered in screams.

“Adventurer? What did you just say…?”

“Aaaaaaa! Julie? Wake! Julie!!”

“I can’t believe you are Julie…!!”

The explorers of the Explorers’ League who have been interrogating.

Park Hyeon-joon was puzzled.

‘…why am I doing this?’

If you kill him, you have to run away.

Why are you scratching your chest here?

But that thought didn’t last long.

“I can’t stand it. Seebaal!”

I feel like I’m going to die of boredom.

I couldn’t get rid of the stuffiness by scratching with my fingernails.

Effect of abnormal status greed.

Park Hyeon-joon, whose judgment was clouded, did not hesitate.

Puff——

with a dagger, he slashed his stuffy chest.

in a clouded consciousness.

A voice was heard.

– Great.

-But your death wasn’t a noble sacrifice, it was because you, blinded by greed, brought it on yourself. Unfortunately, I have nothing to give you.

– I mean, I can’t give you even a speck of dust.

“…!!”

Until the last minute.

The voice of the devil who deceives himself.

[Collapse progress: 10/10]

.

.

.

[Collapse progress: 10/10]

The collapse progress rose without any effort.

At the same time, a message popped up.

[The great evil of the Yusura Islands is born.]

[The collapse begins.]

Kugugugung—!

shaky sight.

It was on a completely different scale from giant tortoises or volcanic eruptions.

Literally, each island in the Yusra Islands was shaking.

“In the end, I don’t know what, but did it collapse?”

“Yes, if it ends like this, I’m so sad for the rice cakes I threw away!”

“If you see that it is a giant, it must be a devil. Let’s quickly switch equipment.”

As much as the top players gathered.

It seemed like he had expected the worst.

But it was a mistake.

I was sure

‘It’s not an enemy that can be dealt with at the level of the current players.’

Harkon supported my judgment.

His eyes were different from before.

“This energy is demonic.”

A whopping 600 levels.

Even Harkon, who had finished off a named monster with a level of over 400 with a single blow, was clearly nervous.

Yes, why is a giant called a giant?

It was a tangible appearance.

Yusra Islands.

Ten islands merged into one.

Then the hidden cracks interlocked and collapsed.

The true nature of Yusra’s system was revealed.

It is a huge golden palace.

A scene that seems to embody the word greed.

Still a demon hunter.

I could intuit

A palace built by greed.

That the Seven Deadly Sins, greed, are spinning inside.

At that moment, the quest window flickered.

—Investigate the evil of the Yusura Islands. (Success)

─Prevent the resurrection of the Seven Deadly Sins of greed. (In progress) ▲

Don’t let the island’s treasure be stained with greed. (Suspended)

● Defeat the Seven Deadly Sins incarnation of Greed. (Ongoing)

The moment when intuition turns into conviction.

Unknowingly, I opened my mouth.

“I was waiting.”

…No, I didn’t wait.

I wanted to end it as quietly as possible…!

In the first place, I didn’t mean that my condition was not words.

“You despicable devil who pretends to be evil.”

The biggest thing of all is horsepower exhaustion.

In the yard where mana ran out immediately, whether it was a gigantic evil or an incarnation of a gigantic evil.

Killing him is unreasonable…

‘?’

Why can’t I feel the helplessness of magical exhaustion…?

Far from feeling helpless, his whole body was full of vitality.

‘!’

Finally, I remembered.

『No devil’s temptations and trials of deception can even blemish the lofty pride of Grandfel.』

Demon hunters and demons.

transcends that celestial relationship.

The relationship between Grandfel and the devil.

『Perhaps what the devil should be most wary of is not the class of the demon hunter, but the human being called Granfell.』

Lightly dressed clothes.

The direction of the trimming broach.

As always, I continued to speak with an upright posture.

“Time to go to hell.”
