Chapter 371. Not a bad picture.
The players return to Cloudy’s mansion.
Experience drop rate, skill proficiency buff...
The results of hunting with a huge buff were tremendous.
“How long has it been since you raised a full level in one day?”
“Kids. I ate a unique item!”
“I am also a proficiency master now!”
But there was something more important than the terrifying loot.
It was a message that popped up on the way.
That’s right, Grandfell Cloudy....
“...What happened after that? anyway!!”
I wanted to ask Lee Ho-yeol right away, who must have been the party. What the hell is a mythical quest! However, it is common sense to refrain from asking sensitive questions among players.
Likewise.
Shining appeared in the mansion.
Camilla spoke to Dmitri, who took the lead.
“You know better than anyone, Dmitry? You know the importance of privacy better than anyone else. Being robbed by player paparazzi...”
“Because that thing and this one are obviously different!”
Whoop-!
I wanted to answer indifferently.
Dmitri had already turned away.
Judging by the moistness around her eyes, she still hasn’t overcome the pain of a broken heart.
It was to the extent that the players who watched it clicked their tongues in pity.
Dmitri struggled to protest.
“Of course, from a player’s point of view, the quest progress is much more personal than the pain of a broken heart. But isn’t it Lee Ho-yeol? You are our commander-in-chief, aren’t you?”
Other players wouldn’t have asked.
Both before and after the cataclysm.
Because in Arcana, the less information spread, the more valuable it was.
Because it was human psychology to hide such information.
Dmitri adds the real reason.
“You’re not a normal person?!”
But it was hot.
Not just a single player, of course.
Lee Ho-yeol, who sometimes seems to transcend humanity.
Of course, it wasn’t just for that reason.
As mentioned earlier, Ho-yeol was the general commander of the Allied Temple.
Dmitri clenched his fists as if he had really made up his mind.
“I will ask. As a member of the Crusade Alliance, you can ask that much, right? It’s up to the commander-in-chief to answer or not. If our allies need information about the Myth Quest.”
There was logic in Dmitri’s words. To the extent that onlookers noticed that Dmitri felt a sincere sense of belonging to the Allied Crusade.
Rox murmured softly.
“Yeah, that’s a little difficult.”
“huh? What did you say, Rocks?”
“no. nothing.”
Glance.
“...”
Camilla studied Rox’s face with a small smile.
But I couldn’t watch it for long.
Could it be because of Dmitri’s voice?
There were people gathered.
“What are you, Nam Tae-min’s family?”
“I have something to tell you, Dmitry.”
“What is a scouting offer? I know how you feel.”
Arcana Continent.
Most players would have realized this in their first hunt. The need for a reliable tanker. It is different from the Rift, where the update history provided the level of the enemy.
Muscular shoulders stand proud.
“Because I have no choice but to figure out the level of the monster by directly bumping into it. Because the only thing that makes that possible is the tank. I think it’s natural to want this Dmitri’s help. But I die by loyalty and live by loyalty...”
“What bullshit, Dmitry?”
“Eh? wasn’t it? A scout offer?”
The present great coalition.
Former Gaon member Kang Eun-taek sighed.
Americans drink kimchi soup better than I do.
“Does Nam Tae-min need you?”
“What what?!”
Barbarian is a DLT tank, not an authentic tanker!
I wanted to refute passionately, but I couldn’t.
Yes, Nam Tae-min excludes Lee Ho-yeol, who is out of the norm.
Because I reached number 1 in the player rankings.
That was not enough, so Kang Eun-taek added with a serious face.
“The reason we stopped you is simple, Dmitry. You’d better refrain from asking questions about the names and mythical quests that popped up in the message to the commander-in-chief.”
Dmitri was properly pissed off this time.
“What? Are you going around as your closest aide and now also acting as a spokesperson? but well? Isn’t that the decision of the commander-in-chief, not you?”
Dimitri ignored it.
It was the moment I was about to pass Kang Eun-taek.
Kang Eun-taek sighs and eventually explains the detailed reason.
“Whoa. You should know, Dmitri.”
“What do you mean I know from earlier?”
“You shouldn’t dig into your personal life.”
...personal history?
Those words caught the attention of the players who were watching the confrontation, including Shining. Kang Eun-taek recalled the words of Nam Tae-min. He said he wanted to tell all the players if possible.
The veins of anger were wriggling.
...dump!
However, it had nothing to do with the boiling emotions. The knee had bowed in front of the man. Anger was quick to judge. As befits the most intense original sin, even in the face of fear, his momentum did not soften.
Kwadeuk!
Both hands of anger go to the lower body.
The veins bulge in the palm of your hand.
With a creepy sound, the two weak legs are ripped off.
Use the regenerative ability that will come from overwhelming authority.
I will stand up again with new legs, not weak legs.
However, despite the decision, the voice continues.
“If you have no legs, put your head on the floor.”
“...!”
It is so far away that it is hard to believe that it is a mere human voice. As expected, I couldn’t understand it, but my body moved on its own. The furious head that had been looking at the man fell to the floor.
thud!
...cut your hair?
Considering the overflowing regenerative power of the body, it is okay. Just like your legs grow, so will your hair grow. But the anger knew. What matters is not the body. It is inside.
Tumbling—...
I thought about anger.
If I cut my hair, what orders will be given to me next?
Thanks to you, I realized it.
This situation in which he, who thought he was stronger than anyone else, was overwhelmed.
At this moment, Rage’s vision showed both hands soaked in blood.
It’s not your own blood.
It was the two hands that had ripped through the man’s body a while ago.
Is it because the feeling is clear?
Anger asked, not understanding.
“...Who the hell are you?”
It’s not a question of strength.
I’m not talking about hair that grew long in an instant.
It is different from the momentum of the exhalation.
Until a little while ago.
It meant that a completely different personality existed.
But of course.
silence.
No answer came back about it.
again.
The fear is maximized because of the head of the head.
The signs that were gradually getting closer made his anger impatient.
He spoke in a voice that grew even more angry.
“Are you not going to tell me? If so, let me tell you. You are no different from the devil. Two minds in one body. Isn’t it no different from being possessed!!”
no different than the devil
The last survivor of the Cloudy family and Akkshan.
To him who came from a place where he had no choice but to hate demons to the extreme.
It would be the greatest insult.
But what I hear is still not an answer.
again.
The anger was conscious. You cannot escape this crisis through your own efforts. His life is not in his hands, but in that man’s.
So, I was genuinely curious.
“...why?”
Even so, the feeling of breaking through the bones and flesh felt at the fingertips.
It wasn’t that much of an illusion.
The man was clearly driven to the brink of desperation.
“Why are you, who has the power to despise all things, confined to such a body? If it had been a little deeper, my heart would have exploded and I would have died...!”
Then the word came out.
Did you take care of yourself?
I could hear it this time.
But the answer is no.
It was a one-sided chant.
“With anger comes loss.”
“...what?”
“Because anger only grows when something precious is lost.”
It was blasphemy at the same time.
“But there is nothing precious to the inferior race. So the emotion you feel is not anger. It’s just a lowly urge to break through.”
...lower urges?
Are you angry?
Does this body mean nothing more than a base impulse?
Fast-!
It was the moment when anger gnashed his teeth.
the voice continued.
“In that sense, you angered me.”
Suddenly——
the bowed head was severed and turned toward the sky. Anger was able to see the man’s face only then. A demon whose breath is cut off by its natural enemy, the demon hunter, falls into hell. Evil is no exception.
I felt the heat of the burning fire of hell. But anger did not scream in pain. Because the face of the man I met at the last moment was beyond words.
Anger has the last word.
“I was born in the beginning and have lived for almost eons, and for the first time I became curious about humans. It’s a pity that you fell into hell without knowing anything about you...
” opened
“Nothing can be taken from me anymore.”
It’s not too cold.
“It is the same for me, or our history.”
