Chapter 479

Episode 479. Innate Evil (1)

Eastern part of the Arcana Continent.

Players who have seen the cracks in the prototype appear.

Nam Taemin and Hisagi Leonie.

The trio’s appearance was noticeably different from before.

Marcelo exhaled as he watched the three people.

“The seeds you planted are bearing fruit.”

We will move organically according to the situation.

According to the plan shared at the temple alliance meeting.

Tower owner Marcelo was observing the situation.

The reason he headed to the eastern part of the continent was simple.

This was because it was thought to be the most vulnerable to the advance of the great monster.

But only like this.

“Your Majesty has long trusted their potential. In reality, I ended up underestimating their potential. As expected, you should take the position of tower owner rather than me...”

A moment when Marcelo unexpectedly reflected.

Goooooh.

Magical energy stirred next to him.

A black figure soon appears.

It was Mathis Din Carl, a senior in black magic.

“Are you here? Top owner.”

“Senior Matisse.”

“This is truly amazing.”

Matisse is rarely emotionally shaken.

Even he couldn’t help but be surprised by the unfolding scenery. Even myself, who followed Chief Lee’s words and devoted himself to Kii’s quest. A considerable amount of time was spent breaking through the incomplete rift.

“I never thought you would see through the trap faster than me.”

As many as three adventurers had returned to the battlefield before him and were standing in the way of the great monster. Marcelo raised his magic power and asked Matisse.

“I was also surprised. However, it would not be surprising to think that Chief Lee’s care has finally begun to bear fruit. So what was the inside of the crack like, Senior Matisse?”

In addition, Matisse’s turbulent magic power.

“I now understand why the whereabouts of former senior wizard Yugweed have become unclear. “Regardless of strength or manifestation, it was a rift that was difficult to move forward without understanding of ‘eccentricity.’”

Labyrinth, crack, mystery, appropriate level, etc....

The reason Matisse was able to see through the crack was because he was familiar with the Arcana Continent electricity system. This was thanks to having a level of knowledge that was not much different from that of the players.

“Then...”

Marcelo made a decision.

The Arcana people were caught in the crack at this moment.

Among them, there are those who can see through cracks with their own power.

I think there will be less than ten people.

So the best course of action was clear.

“First, we need to think about eliminating the cause.”

The cause of the cracks occurring by changing the field.

I will kill the great monsters.

Marcelo, the current top owner.

And the past.

The joint work of Matisse, who competed with him for the position of chief.

Kwakwakwakkwak.

[The evil spirit of Lunarim, the great monster, causes ‘fainting’.]

Thanks to this, a welcome message came to mind.

“!!!”

However, Nam Taemin and Hisagi Leoni.

Rather than being happy, the three people repaid the favor with action.

It was instinct rather than intention.

‘You must never forget this feeling.’

A sense of entering the realm of strangeness.

Enjoy this sensation for as long as possible.

I felt like I had to engrave it on my body.

Because only then would Kii’s door not close again.

Phew.

Their judgment was correct.

No matter how big of a monster it is.

The owner and senior of the Magic Tower.

And it couldn’t withstand the combined effort of three people who had crossed the wall.

“Huh.”

“Whoa.”

“Oh.”

There was no need to say who came first.

As soon as the three guild masters of the great alliance began to gasp.

The great monster fell and their vision blinked.

[The level has risen.]

[The level has risen.]

[The level has risen.]...

Then, the field that had changed according to the natural order of the Arcana Continent began to be restored to its original state.

What that meant was simple. There was no time to check how many levels the level had risen.

A noise comes from empty space.

...what a mess.

“...Hey wait?!”

Like a cogwheel. The prototype crack formed when the changed fields interlocked, like a broken machine with misaligned gears. It was just starting to collapse.

Wajangchang.

Pieces of dimension bouncing in all directions.

And that gap.

Those who were struggling inside the crack poured out.

“sister...? “What did you save me?!”

“Quiet. “Because it’s not over yet.”

“what. Why are you so sweet? “Have you grown up?!”

Anyway, this is....

“Just shut up.”

Leonie swallowed her cursing and looked around.

Lion Heart Knights, Goddess Order...

Judging from their mesmerized expressions.

I’m sure everyone has gone through something difficult like me.

*

Some people might be curious and ask.

Wasn’t the Great Monster just a trick? The real one has already entered Antonium and spilled blood. With the power of the transcendentals, wouldn’t they be able to take control of an empty Antonium in the blink of an eye?

That was correct.

Liu Wujunchun’s thoughts that dwelled in Oxidine entered Antonium.

Bloodless, not bloodless.

Like a tyrant, he made his presence known by inciting bloodshed.

A kind of provocation and hostage taking.

It was an action aimed at tarnishing Lee Ho-yeol’s almost omniscient and omnipotent status. Liu Wujunchun’s thoughts were calculated. Wouldn’t the news have reached Lee Ho-yeol’s ears by now?

Still, I didn’t get involved.

Oxidine’s body and the abilities of the transcendental people accompanying him were enough. It wouldn’t be surprising if half of Antonium’s residents could be reduced to ashes by just a few lightning strikes from the boy who was the child of lightning.

‘The moment you left Antonium.’

The winner has already been decided, Lee Ho-yeol.

I succeeded in taking the people of Antonium hostage.

If I knew you, I wouldn’t be able to ignore these people.

That was when victory was declared.

Jerk.

Someone blocked Liu Wujunchun’s path.

An unforgettable face for Liu Wujunchun.

Five stars that were his limbs in the past.

One of the five stars.

It was Baek Seong-ryun.

however.

“Get out of the way.”

The past was just the past.

What Liu Wujunchun’s thoughts wanted was the imperial throne.

He was not a subject who was defeated, surrendered, or changed his mind.

Crash.

The warrior of sunrise who guarded his side.

It was the moment when his sunrise painting was about to take off again.

A message appeared in Baek Sung-ryun’s vision.

[□□ □□ □□□ □□ □□□ □□□□ □□□□□.]

Why?

A message where not a single word can be read.

At the same time, my senses began to blur.

No, it wasn’t just Baek Seong-ryun.

Thanks to the reflection of Liu Wujunchun.

Oxidine was treated like a player.

A similar message was reflected in his field of vision.

What that meant was simple.

Just by entering the realm of [『Gii』].

A being that cannot be understood in the slightest.

At this moment, he appeared in Antonium.

“It exceeds expectations.”

No, he was watching the whole situation from Antonium from the beginning.

It goes without saying, but it wasn’t enthusiastic.

Although its splendid appearance is not inferior to that of Ho-yeol.

The vibe that came out was different.

“As the ruler of the western part of the Demon World, I acknowledge your malice.”

Ruler of the western part of the Demon World.

Noble Paimon, Demon King of the Ninth Throne.

He transmitted his voice through his incarnation.

“But man.”

“...!”

Liu Wujunchun’s thoughts are at this moment.

I felt an irresistible force.

Even Oxidine’s body couldn’t resist.

Tyrant’s skills too.

Oxidine’s abilities too.

A feeling of absolute helplessness where even eccentricity does not work.

Yes.

The top demon king is.

Among them, Paimon was such a being.

“I don’t deal with informal people. Even if it is a high-level demon lord like me, it is no exception. Nevertheless, you are curious.”

Paimon’s eyes flashed.

“How can one be born as a human being and still be human, yet become more depraved than the devil? “I have sincere doubts.”

In my mind, I wanted to stuff it and observe it.

There shouldn’t be any more fuss like this.

The more you make a fuss.

“The things you have to worry about will increase.”

That was why Paimon appeared in Antonium, consuming his precious incarnation. Because Paimon did not want to see you, Hoyeol, being held back by your ankles.

“Our meeting can’t be delayed because of you, right?”

The more variables there are, the more they arise.

The more chaotic the Arcana Continent becomes.

Hoyeol’s entry into the demon world will be delayed even more.

Liu Wujunchun realized Paimon’s intentions and was astonished.

‘...That’s just the reason?’

This body has such a promise.

Are you saying that I, Liu Wujunchun’s will, should be broken?

It’s just a prior promise you made with Lee Ho-yeol.

Because of that one thing?

Are you saying that I am worse than a mere promise...?

Sweet.

Instead of answering, Paimon picked up a teacup.

We cupped our glasses into the air.

He spat it out without paying attention to Liu Wujunchun’s despairing gaze.

“I will protect Antonium, so rest assured, my dear.”

Red tea swirled in the teacup.
