Chapter 481

Episode 481. Calling (1)

Baek Seong-ryun, the former leader of the unification of the world.

Oseong is a word that refers to the highest ranking official of the unification of the world.

If you count it as one of the five fingers in the huge guild, Unification of the World.

That ability is probably worth knowing.

But Baek Sung-ryun’s eyes were full of fear. Because you went through a terrible experience that left you covered in blood? No, I looked at Baek Sung-ryun, who was tilting his tea cup and looking around.

“...How can this happen?”

A tavern somewhere in Antonium.

Baek Sung-ryun seems like he can’t believe it.

I looked around closely.

“Here, in this place, Yong Seong-rak was beheaded with a single blow. A man with black hair and eyes who was clearly under the influence of Liu Wujunchun’s brainwashing...!”

Beheading.

It was Yong Seong-rak’s tragic news that came out of nowhere.

Even though I was sighing inside.

The identity of the black-haired man was able to be identified.

‘Samurai at sunrise.’

I thought I had lifted the [brainwashing] in the space-time duel.

Oxidine while I was away.

No, it looks like Liu Wujunchun has tried to modify it again.

Sssss.

Instead of asking questions, I unleashed my magic.

Thanks to its extraordinary power of expression.

The magic particles vividly recreate what happened here.

“I will believe what you say.”

Even to mourn a sudden death.

It is a law that Yong Seong-rak’s body must be properly laid to rest.

One question is where his body has gone.

‘No one cleaned it up. It disappeared as if evaporating.’

Sssss.

Yongseongrak’s magical particles scatter unnaturally.

What that meant was simple.

His body no longer exists on the Arcana continent.

‘Then is there only one possibility?’

The noble Paimon, the Demon King of the Ninth Throne.

Yong Seong-rak’s body is with him.

I thought back to Baek Sung-ryun’s words.

-“A message came to mind, but I couldn’t read a single word. But Paimon told me. You are a witness. A witness who will prove my innocence....”

No matter how many times I think about this, it is not easy. The story about Paimon was difficult for even Lee Ho-yeol, who has a deep understanding, to understand. In fact, if we were to summarize Baek Seong-ryun’s words to the core, it would be simple.

“It may sound like a crazy thing to say, but... Paimon protected Antonium. As if nothing happened here. “Leaving me alone as the only witness...”

Yes, if it weren’t for Paimon.

To be precise, if it wasn’t the incarnation of Paimon.

Antonium by now.

‘It may have fallen into Liu Wujun’s hands.’

He infiltrated Antonium to distract the Allied Forces of the Crusade with a great monster and take over the throne of the empire. If only I knew that Oxidine guy’s identity was Liu Wujunchun.

‘I would have never let my guard down.’

Both Granfell and I were wary of his obsession.

Sweet.

I didn’t say anything until the green tea was completely empty.

While I was silent, the three cubic feet were quiet together.

I guess it has to be that way.

‘To Granfell, he is nothing more than a hunted devil.’

Among them, the high-level demon kings, who are demons of a different level, regard them as trash that cannot even be recycled. Paimon, one of those pieces of waste, protected Antonium.

I was shocked.

The runaway of [Children’s Solitary Life].

Thanks to that, Paimon, whom I unexpectedly met, was very formal, uncharacteristic of a devil. I got the impression that if it weren’t for the devil, he and Granfell would have gotten along quite well.

Thanks to you, I was able to guess.

‘Could this be an extension of what happened when I quietly returned to the demon world?’

What does Paimon want?

It was I, Lee Ho-yeol, entering the demon world.

Because I thought about the intention of the test taker and observed the situation.

‘It’s one hundred percent.’

What if Antonium is devastated by Liu Wujunchun?

My entry into the demon world will be delayed even further.

It was clear that Paimon had prevented such a situation in advance.

Anyway, I can’t just feel relieved, right?

‘Why on earth are you doing this to me?’

This is my first time receiving such burdensome favor.

It’s not another demon, it’s the favor of a high-ranking demon lord, right?

Beyond the sparks flying.

Zeus’s body trembles in the form of a thunderbolt.

Only then did Oried shrug his shoulders and stop speaking.

“I will.”

Of course, her chatting didn’t end there.

“Oh, did you hear the news? The giant monsters started moving all at once. Thanks to you, my children were in tears. Everywhere they went, they were trampled miserably...”

However, no one listened carefully to Oried’s words. Seeing the complete disregard, Oried turned his eyes to find someone who would nod to what he said.

What caught her eye was the forest spirit king Dryad, who had a gentle personality among the arrogant, self-righteous, and, to put it simply, unlucky spirit kings.

Oried said, wiping the corners of his dry eyes with disgust.

“Dryad, you must be feeling the same sadness as me, right? “The wide, green forest and the spirits that stayed in that forest would also have lost their home.”

Nod.

As the Dryad nodded once, Oried slowly began to get to the point. Yes, there was a purpose for showing up here today.

“So, as the King of Earth, I can no longer remain silent. I can no longer turn away. “This is especially true now that the central point we must trust and follow has disappeared.”

“...!”

The spirit kings’ attention focused on Oried’s words.

Absence of central point.

The central point is the mother of all things.

Because it was a word that meant world tree.

“Of course, the new world tree has taken root. As the King of the Earth, I know this well. But. “Can we really call that young tree our mother?”

A strange look appeared in Oried’s pupils.

“This is a fact that only I and the Forest Spirit King, Dryad, know, but there is not one World Tree that currently exists on the Arcana Continent.”

To those words, Ariel, the Spirit King of Wind, added.

“I know that too.”

“Okay, Ariel? “You knew that too, right?”

Oried grinned and hit the nail on the head.

“Then why were you acting like you didn’t know?”

“...yes?”

“You mean you already knew. That we can no longer remain silent. Two world trees... Isn’t this a situation where more world trees may sprout in the future?”

Oried changes his voice again and speaks.

“Can you respect and follow the world tree as your mother? Do you really think those young world trees can protect our natural world? Let me speak first. “I don’t think so.”

The natural world of spirits that only those who have not lost their innocence can witness.

That was because spirits were beings who had not lost their purity.

So Oried was speaking.

She spread her arms.

“The time has finally come for us to escape from innocence.”

There was no answer this time too.

However, Oried looked very satisfied. It’s the same silence, but the meaning is different. Since he threw the stone, there will definitely be a stir at the next meeting.

‘Even if that’s not the case, how long can I hold on?’

It was not a lie that the spirits were groaning in pain.

Those who become the kings of the spirits must seek a solution.

Oried was confident.

“There is only one answer, everyone.”

The only solution is the Spirit King.

Confidence that they are only exerting influence on the Arcana continent.

This was the moment when Oried was about to get up from his seat.

suddenly.

“Not yet, Oried.”

The forest spirit king summoned himself.

Who would have thought that a dryad who is careful with his words and actions would stop himself.

Is there something urgent?

But Oried’s doubts did not last long.

Because it is the alter ego and mirror of ‘someone’.

A being who is never late for a promise.

It has finally revealed itself.

The dryad opened his mouth quietly.

“You’re here.”

“...?”

Oried was shocked.

A being at the top of the spirit world hierarchy.

The Spirit King uses honorifics?

Because it couldn’t have happened.

But beyond that level, the dryad stood up.

In front of a slowly approaching presence.

He bowed his head.

“What are you doing now...?”

A sound reached Oried’s ears as he was astonished.

angle.

Subtly different shoe sounds.
