Chapter 36: Innocence (2)

Episode 36. Innocence (2)

Activate Ritual of Evil.

From now on, its a battle of wills.

I stared at the evil rising from the throne.

[Seven Deadly Sins Greed Incarnate: Lv.650]

Its appearance was a man.

I could feel it as soon as I saw it.

Not like Count Ascura.

Its more like Nam Cheol-min.

If Nam Cheol-min was taken over by an imp, body and soul.

He must have been possessed by the Seven Deadly Sins of Greed.

Imp and the Seven Deadly Sins of Greed.

Lesser demons and greater evils.

No wonder theres a gap between them, even bigger than their levels.

But it didnt matter to me.

You dont have to worry about that. Im here.

I have a cringe-worthy line I can live with now.

I have an unbreakable sense of pride.

Things were as they always were.

But apparently not him.

Who the hell are you, and how did you get here?

I wanted to ask him back.

Well, Ive never seen a demon hunter before.

But like I said.

Shhh.

I dont usually talk to my prey, so I thought I would.

I could see why he was surprised.

Did you get out of the anomaly?

Thats when the ritual began.

Nam Tae-min and Leonie came to their senses immediately.

I cant see it, but I thought it was a real sting, so I was frightened

It was also a sign that he was shaking.

So there was no hesitation.

Sigh

I took out my silver dagger.

Probing, interfering, manifesting.

Through a series of processes, I changed the shape of the dagger.

The reserve of magic power is sufficient.

Knights of the Lionheart.

And with the help of the two guilds, Gaon and Berserker, I was able to reach the beast without manifesting a single spell.

That said.

More creative manifestations are possible.

The situation is different than when I was Count Ascura.

Back then, all I could do was drive a silver stake through a silver dagger.

But I have not stopped since then.

Drowning in my lofty pride.

I did my best to keep from drowning.

The fruits of my labor were unfolding before my eyes.

Quadruple quadruple!

The floor of the palace.

Stone, marble, interference.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

In an instant, the walls erupted.

A silver dagger appeared in the form of a bullet.

Interferes with the appearance of bullets to enhance their lethality.

To maximize the synergistic effect of the rotational force, I need a whirlpool.

In other words, a spiral drill.

Floating

Hundreds of silver bullets floating in the air.

Hundreds of bullets from a crude stake.

Its thrilling.

Like writing on a blotter.

I feel the reward of filling up an A4 sheet every day.

But hes not a man to be trifled with.

Noblesse oblige.

The responsibility of nobility rests on my shoulders.

That meant I had to be more assured.

Besides, I already knew how.

I have more than just magic.

Its obviously different from magic.

There are also [skills], each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Marksmanship Mastery (26%): Increases the accuracy of your shots.

I wonder if Mastery of Marksmanship applies to bullets.

I havent checked, so well never know.

So now is the time to take the more obvious route.

Boom!

The marble shards float into thin air.

I manifest magic.

I fashioned an arrowhead from the marble shard.

I joined the silver bullet to the marble shaft.

The arrows were clearly influenced by my shooting mastery.

A fusion of magic and skill.

And to add to that, a cheesy one.

The greater the mass, the greater the power.

Throw in some common sense science.

Yeah, this is what I see.

Wonderful, Lord Ho-Yeol.

He didnt care what others thought of him.

Even if it was a burst of admiration from Harkon.

There was no excitement in my heart.

I was only curious at this moment.

The vision of the great evil stood still.

*.

I want to protect.

That was it.

That was the last king of the Kingdom of Yusra.

It was Hakunas regret.

There was no lack in the kingdom of Yusra.

There was no shortage of food from the land and sea, no shortage of sparkling jewelry, and no signs of trouble or worry among the people.

What do you think, is it not beautiful to behold?

Hakuna was pleased with the way his kingdom looked.

So he proudly welcomed the stranger to his island.

He boasted of his treasures and his people.

It was wrong.

What have I done?

A huge ship docked in the kingdom of Yusra.

The stranger led an army and invaded the kingdom of Yusra.

Land, sea, and mines.

In the end, did even you deceive me?

Despair overcame even her anger.

It was then.

I heard a voice that could not have been colder.

You are ugly, foolish demon.

The voice was unwavering.

The silver-haired man spoke.

You are so lowly, lusting after the nothing.

Nothing?

This glorious golden palace?

Neither Hakuna nor the demon could understand it.

You, what do you mean?!

I was speechless.

At the sight before them.

As soon as the man finished speaking.

Rrrrrr-!

The golden palace began to burn.

Marble, gold, jewelry.

Nothing was spared.

Everything turned to ash and began to scatter into the air.

Its impossible! Impossible!

A demonic voice screamed.

A mans face came into view.

I could see the mans pupils.

!

The mans eyes showed no sign of agitation.

As if he didnt care about the golden palace.

Or that all his riches would turn to ashes.

As if he had experienced this before.

The mans pupils were as calm as ever.

The reflection in those calm lake-like pupils was.

Is that really me?

It was an ugly reflection of himself, corrupted by greed.

Another angle.

The man began to approach.

Isnt it foolish, the moment you close your eyes, the only thing you can take with you is the pride in your heart.

Pride.

The moment she heard the word, Hakuna realized.

What the hell have I done?

In the end, wanting to protect was an excuse.

Hakunas last moment.

He remembered the faces of the soldiers who had given their lives to protect him.

Yes, they were laughing.

Saying they were honored to have him as their king.

Hakuna despaired.

But I, I!!!

For greed beyond greed.

I have fallen to the devils twist.

Raising the soldiers who had sacrificed so nobly, only to make them suffer once more.

I could have fought to the death to save my people in captivity, but I turned my back on them.

His responsibilities as a monarch were no longer with him.

Only his greed to protect the islands treasures remained.

Only a demon can understand pride.

The man was right.

His corrupted self was nothing short of a demon.

I had no pride left in myself.

Once I acknowledged that, my chest felt calm.

Im sorry.

Im late, but Ill catch up with you.

Hakuna closed his eyes.

Meekly accepting her death.

S-save me! Ah, I dont want to die yet!!

Scoop

Thank you, nameless benefactor.

For saving me from making a fool of myself.

?

And Hakuna opened her eyes.

Why did she open her eyes?

He must have felt a knife at his throat.

And wasnt it too bright to be in hell?

!

Slowly, my vision returned.

There was a silver-haired man.

The man said.

Nevertheless, take pride in yourself.

Is this ?

In the mans hand was a crown.

It was faded, but he recognized it at once.

That was Hakuna, his own crown.

?!

The man said, placing the crown on his own head.

It is time to correct the past. Nameless King.

!!

.

.

.

[You have leveled up].

[You have leveled up].

[Youve leveled up].

This is going to take forever to verify.

We can settle the score later.

I take out the islands treasure, the crown.

[Island Treasure, Broken Crown]

[Rank: Epic]

[Limit: Lv.500]

[Effect: None]

[Description: An old crown].

Nevertheless, take pride in it.

Of course I should.

I dont know the story behind this old crown and the man who was once possessed by a great evil. But I do know what to do with it.

[Hidden Quest: Kingdom of Yusra].

The legendary Treasure Island has reappeared.

The awakened king wants to correct his mistakes and regain his pride.

Give the crown to the king of the Kingdom of Yusra. (in progress)

Well, isnt that enough for now?

Its time to make amends. Nameless King.

Then a message popped up.

Wait.

And then, incessantly, until it filled my vision, I saw!
