Episode 442. Hypocrite (4)
Devil’s bloodline Cloudy.
think back on that
In fact, there is no reason to be called that.
‘Why, even because of that child.’
Seven Deadly Sins Arrogance.
A traitor to Cloudy who held a grudge against Grandfel, who became the head of the family, and executed Cloudy’s annihilation. It may not be strange that the tragedy resonates with the ears of the Akk’shan demon hunters.
‘Actually, even at this time.’
Cloudy’s name would not have been completely forgotten on the Arcana continent. It’s just a curious thing. Even if that is the case, isn’t this a guilt-by-association system?
‘...Thinking about it, is this unfair?’
It wasn’t just about blaming Grandfel’s temper.
It’s all demonic bloodline.
Even if it’s me Ho-yeol Lee.
The Lee family can’t stand still when they hear insults like that.
Perhaps because of that, the atmosphere became more heightened.
“...”
A demon hunter who showed open hostility to me. And the Akkshan demon hunters surrounded us both in silence. The one who broke the silence was a man I was familiar with.
“What is it?”
Dexio.
Former Demon Hunter.
before explaining it.
The first thing to note is that there is no official caste among the Akshan.
All demon hunters in Akshan were horizontal. It was an understandable setting even at the time.
Aside from their substance, demon hunters were metaphorically, those who looked into the abyss, not knowing when they might be possessed by demons. Is there a class in such a group?
If it’s a demon, you can use it as much as you like.
It should have been enough to turn Akshan into a crucible of chaos.
Of course, the Akshan are not an ungrateful group.
‘Still, there is the concept of seniors and juniors, teachers and disciples.’
In that sense, Dexio was Akkshan’s master.
It’s not unusual from the outside. From the pure white beard that suggests his age to the scars left on his face and body. It seemed to tell me what countless demons he had dealt with.
‘...Well, I haven’t learned anything in particular.’
That’s also the case. Think back to the skills I acquired when I changed my job to a demon hunter. It ends with [natural enemy relationship] and [exorcism ceremony]. Wasn’t it shabby compared to other classes?
Is that why?
Even when Dexio appeared, I was still staring at the man.
But the man was different.
Because I told a similar story to Dexio.
“You don’t know, Dexio.”
“Is that sound again?”
“Cloudy is definitely a devil’s pit...!”
Dexio interrupted the man.
“The time has come for you, too, to look inside yourself.”
Eucla.
It was the man’s name.
Dexio’s words shook Yukla’s eyes.
“...What do you mean, Dexio?”
“I guess this demon hunt was hard.”
“No, it wasn’t hard on me in the slightest.”
Aha, you went demon hunting outside Akshan? From the looks of it, it seems that I came across the story about the Cloudy family during the demon hunt.
Recall Akshan’s iron rule.
A demon hunter sees the demons, so it is not strange if they are stained with malice at any time. When I looked closely while thinking about that iron rule, I found that Eucla’s pupils were actually quite depleted.
Yukla avoided Dexio’s determined gaze.
“Dexio, don’t look at me like that.”
“It is not an inquiry. Don’t be shaken, Yukla.”
“...I am not wrong!”
sereung.
In the end, he had to draw a silver sword towards me. I was not intimidated. I’m not a demon, so there’s no reason to be afraid of a demon hunter’s silver sword.
‘Because I know very well that the screws are missing.’
Besides, Yukla’s hand was shaking slightly. Eventually, the fuss ended there. In any case, Dexio, who is respected even by demon hunters all over the world, made a declaration.
“Prepare for Eucla’s exorcism.”
“...!”
exorcism consciousness.
A skill that hunts demons possessed by humans.
It’s obvious, but it doesn’t work for ordinary people.
I checked the system window.
‘The natural enemy relationship has not been activated.’
This means that Eucla is not a demon.
Even if it was because of the devil’s influence that he said those words.
It means that the devil is not possessed.
Dexio seemed to know.
“Don’t be offended, Eucla. don’t you know?”
“...”
“Because this is no different from our restoration ceremony.”
It is Akkshan who obeys iron rules and is wary of malice.
This is why, even if others don’t know about it, you shouldn’t expect too much about Akkshan...! However, regardless of my discouragement, there was no sign of disappointment in Grandfel.
‘You rather like it.’
anyway.
If you can pour green tea, everything is fine. What is it?
In the end, I gladly accepted the glass that Dexio gave me.
Eventually, the vision flickers.
[Relic of Akkshan – Tears of Humility 1/7]
[Rating: Epic]
[Limit:
Lv .
Seven original sins of the continent. An artifact of Akshan to hunt the Seven Deadly Sins. It contains the dexterity of those who run different arcs.]
The existence of the Pandemonium even before the cataclysm.
Although it was Akkshan who knew about the dangers of demon lords. Akshan’s main enemy was the Seven Deadly Sins, the ancestral demons of the Arcana continent.
‘Definitely at least when it’s related to the devil.’
The missing screws are nowhere to be found and they look like professionals.
Why is the decisive battle weapon on the Arcana continent?
Just by looking at the Kürnberg machine tower, it is the same.
‘Rather than that, it’s the dexterity of those who run differently.’
If a system that doesn’t lie says this, it must mean dwarves, right? Looking at it so modestly , I don’t think
it was produced by Wallsweil .
finally.
Dexio took her artifact and took her seat.
‘About here.’
I have another good eye. At some point, the seven demon hunters, including me and Dexio, lined up around Yukla, who was kneeling in the middle.
“I will begin the exorcism for proof.”
Deng.
As Rakshio waved the relic bell in his hand, the exorcism began at the same time. I would say it is a process that demon hunters who have returned from demon hunting must go through.
Burr.
Even Yucla, who had once had a bad temper, seemed to have no choice but to follow the rules.
I noticed that I forgot about the war of nerves with me and focused on the exorcism ceremony.
I captured the current scenery with my eyes.
‘Isn’t it something you don’t know about?’
Maybe one day I’ll be able to rebuild Akkshan, right? Let’s memorize even one plausible rule in order to preserve, preserve, and pass it on.
‘Of course, recovering the artifact would be the start.’
In that sense, it was questionable.
It is a relic of Akkshan that was well kept in its own way.
If all seven artifacts are lost.
There must have been a big incident related to the devil in its own way.
It was a moment when I was rolling my head.
[Failed to activate the unique skill ‘Exorcism’.]
What?
An unfamiliar message popped up in front of me. The exorcism ritual failed. Sacrifices and targets were met. But fortunately out of misfortune? There was no need to rush to find the reason.
Starting with Dexio.
“Granfell.”
Why?
Because everyone’s eyes were on me.
I just felt
discomfort.
The reason why Akkshan’s relics, which could not be easily exported, were lost all at once.
Why did Grandfell become a party to the Akkshan Civil War?
finally.
slap.
The reason why I felt the weight in the empty glass.
look down at the glass
The glass was filled with infinitely dark black water.
Dexio’s voice sank.
“Who are you?”
This is because I faithfully hunted demons...!
damn it
Even if things get twisted, they say they get twisted like this?
If you hunt a demon, you must return to Akkshan and receive an exorcism to prove your innocence. I didn’t know such a rule. I mean, I stopped reading the Arcana Continent before I learned that. I didn’t know it, and I hunted the Devil, the Seven Deadly Sins, and the Demon King...!!
‘I just need to kindly explain each one.’
However, Grandfell’s snout could not calmly express his regret.
I muttered.
“As you see it.”
With the Grandfell style of speech, he calmly.
“I am Grandfell ‘Cloudy’ Arpheus Romeo.”
...Anyway, his snout is the problem!
Sreung!
