Chapter 465

Episode 465. Hide and

seek.

Put down the teacup.

Look around.

Is it because duels are banned?

Everyone is so calm.

The decision to enter the social scene was not a bad one.

‘My attention was diverted.’

There was a lot of bounty on me, so it attracted a lot of attention.

The VIPs didn’t seem to be getting along very well as they were glancing at each other.

Rather than that.

“I don’t feel like it.”

No matter how much I hate social gatherings, it’s times like this.

Shouldn’t you be grateful for existence itself, Granfell?

Anyway, stubbornness...

I looked at the people who were sticking out their tongues and giving passionate stares.

Messages that come to mind at the same time.

however.

[Current bounty: 3 karma]

[Current bounty: 1 karma]

[Current bounty: 1 karma]...

What are these cute numbers?

‘No, I thought you knew.’

They said it was an unprecedented bounty.

Thanks to you, I guessed it.

There must be quite a big difference between the bounties on me and those who enter the other Shadow Corridors. But... no matter what, the difference of 1,000 times is too much, isn’t it?!

‘Abusive language.’

Even if all the bounties of the VIPs here are combined, wouldn’t it be lower than my bounty? Even though I was dumbfounded, my eyes rolled back calmly, so I could see the kitsch.

‘I am the only one whose identity I know.’

Leader of the worst criminal group, Shadow Mercenaries.

If you check the bounty on such kitsch.

How much value is the karma on me?

Can you guess it?

Eventually, a message appears next to Kitsch.

[Current bounty: 1 Karma]

...Really?

Just 1 karma for a big guy like Kitsch.

I admitted it too late.

I didn’t get attacked for no reason, right?

‘You did a good job of being unreasonable in that situation, Hoyeol.’

This is why there is a saying that if a person does something he is not used to, he will die.

The wounds had already healed thanks to the [Blessing of the First World Tree].

Considering the bounty...

if Granfell’s talent had not blossomed.

I might have crossed the nether with the unstoppable pincer attack.

It was a time when I breathed a sigh of relief.

Okay.

The employee approached me and spoke to me.

“This is a gift from a distinguished guest.”

A box small enough to be held in one hand was placed on a tray.

Look in the direction the employee’s hand is pointing.

There was a man at the table staring at me intently.

‘The eyes are scary.’

No, it was more than bloody, it was devastated.

As if someone had just been bothered by something.

Of course, the important thing is not the impression.

It was obvious, but I answered sharply.

“I refuse.”

I think this is the first time since the Seven Deadly Sins of Greed that I am grateful for integrity and innocence. Secret fighting is still permitted. Seriously, who knows if this is a box containing a real gift or a monster mimic disguised as a box?

“Would you mind telling it to me instead?”

I continued speaking confidently.

“If you want something, try to get it yourself.”

A social hall where dueling is prohibited.

Thanks to that, I proudly made fun of my snout.

The employee bowed politely at my words.

“I will clearly convey that message.”

and.

It was now.

I sat across from the man.

‘I guess the shadow wasn’t just a puppet or something?’

Are you conscious enough to have a face-to-face conversation like this?

Well, because there is consciousness in the first place.

They may be aiming for my bounty, but...

sweet.

Anyway, I quietly tilted my teacup alone. Don’t ask how you don’t serve a cup of tea to the person you’re sitting across from if you say you live and die with formality.

‘I don’t know if it’s any other car.’

To the Grand Fell of the world, nothing more than the green tea stored in the pocket of Dawn’s jacket. Because it was a precious treasure that had to be given to Marcelo and Harkon with great determination.

‘by the way.’

I didn’t let my guard down.

‘That kind of pride will eventually hold you back.’

If you ask for a formal conversation, I will accept it.

Indeed, he is putting his words into practice.

The employer could have been sure.

‘The moment I get up from my seat after finishing the conversation.’

Granfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.

The VIP sitting across from him was quiet and private.

that they would move to take his life.

No, it was a mistake to open the box he gave me in the first place without any suspicion. He is the contract of the shadow god who oversees all secret plans and meanness.

Taking someone’s life with a small box the size of your palm? As an employee, dozens and hundreds of things came to mind just by looking over my shoulder.

And the development went as expected.

Okay.

It doesn’t even make the sound of the chair being dragged on the floor.

Gran Fell.

He stood up sternly.

Sssss.

It took just a moment for the teacup in my hand to scatter into the air.

Goooooh.

“...?!”

A tremendous amount of magical power began to erupt from his body.

To the point where I can’t even remember my life before.

Employees who have been subordinated to the shadow corridor for a long time.

Therefore, it is natural that there is no such thing as magical insight.

But I could feel it.

Granfell, his magic flow is unusual.

I opened my mouth urgently.

“Granfell Claudius Arpheus Romeo, have you forgotten your rules?”

No, maybe I didn’t forget.

‘Could it have happened already?’

He faithfully followed the rules.

Did you suddenly break the rules by opening the box given to you by a VIP?

I could tell.

Box.

Inside it.

It said it contained something that would cause Granfell to go on a rampage.

...gulp.

The dry saliva passed.

Are you surprised by the heartlessness of the VIP who stabs the person he was just talking to? no. I knew that VIPs were like that because I had seen them before.

There was a separate reason why everyone in the social hall paused.

The employees’ gaze suddenly looks into space.

Someone stuttered.

“I’m coming down.”

An entity that expels rule breakers from the corridors.

No, a being that deletes.

‘That guy’ will soon appear in this social gathering.

There is fear on the face hidden under the black veil.

It has to be.

It was not of this world.

Its appearance cannot be described in the languages of this world.

From the distant ceiling of the corridor.

Hwareuk.

Hwareuk.

Hwareuk.

The chandeliers on the ceiling light up ominously one by one.

The VIPs stood up from their seats.

He seemed disappointed about the bounty, but I guess he didn’t want to get caught up in it.

It was then.

Chireung.

Toward that which descends.

Granfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.

He raised his sword.

Then he said something I couldn’t understand.

“Destroy the illusion.”

A word that employees cannot understand even if they think about it for the rest of their lives.

“Illusion Breaker.”

It was always a question.

The beings who have entered the realm of Gii include the dragons of the Arcana Continent and the high-ranking demon kings of the demon world. Then, it is clear to anyone that they have entered the realm of Gii, the main culprit of the cataclysm and the developer of the electricity of the Arcana Continent.

Where is Rayman Shen now?

‘I didn’t know I would find the answer this way.’

I declared, looking at the flashing message.

“Hide and seek is over.”

[The prototype ‘God-eating bad omen’ appears.]

“I will begin the exorcism ritual from this time on.”
