Chapter 500

Episode 500. Contradiction (1)

The vision of the [Bow Master] who led Shining.

Because he has overcome numerous crises through his own eyes.

Camilla, unlike Rox, was not confused.

‘It’s not a dream.’

At this moment, Rox was corrupted.

The wings sprouting from the shoulders clearly belonged to a devil.

scream.

“Rox...!!”

Status abnormality [Corruption].

Joshua, the head of the Western U.S. branch, had warned about the danger early on.

Joshua’s voice pleading with God appeared in Camilla’s mind.

-“That’s on a different level from possession, Camilla! If possession is simply having your body taken over by a demon... corruption is when the body itself becomes demonized!”

Where in the world can you find such a condition?

-“So, doesn’t that mean he is the Demon Lord of the Ten Seas, one of only the top ten Demon Lords? Of course, I haven’t heard any news of players demonizing [Corruption] so far...”

Really, don’t worry.

“But if I had known it would be like this...”

If only I had known a little more about corruption.

Rox, I might have been able to save you.

I was resentful of myself for having ignored Joshua’s words.

No, before that.

‘I shouldn’t have left you alone for any reason.’

Because negative emotions become the power of the devil.

Sadness filled Camilla’s face.

I couldn’t even guess.

“How deep was your sadness that you...”

Did he become a devil because he was so wrapped up in negative emotions?

I clenched my trembling fists.

Still, Camilla did not break down.

It was because there was hope in Rox.

“Camilla I’m fine.”

“?!”

Am I confused?

Even while holding my head.

Rox answered the call.

“Yes, it’s me!”

Camilla tried to wave her hand at Rox.

It was so as not to lose sight of Rox’s human side.

At the same time, it was because I trusted him.

“What is that thing with wings in the sky over there?”

“Wait a minute, that armor with blonde hair is Rox?!”

“What new item?”

Citizens clamoring.

okay.

This is the center of downtown Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

‘...If you are, definitely.’

Lee Ho-yeol is the one who brought Akshan back to the Arcana continent after his very existence was deleted, and at the same time, his existence is also considered a demon hunter by some.

It was then.

“!”

Camilla’s vision flickered.

[※Caution: Your guild house is under attack.]

...Pod!

‘It’s an intruder.’

Camilla quickly took out her bow and pulled the string.

This is the top floor.

Common sense suggests that this was a time when the guild house intruders could not have arrived.

“found.”

The opponent was a player who, like himself, lacked common sense.

Suoooo.

A voice rang out first, and magical power wavered in the air.

Short-distance teleportation.

Camilla aimed her bow at the magical response.

“Are you really going to pull it like that?”

“...who are you?”

I thought it would definitely be a bohemian guy.

Since he got stabbed in the back by Rox, he must have responded thoroughly. It was determined that the main force would block Rox and target Shining’s guild house with the remaining troops.

but.

“I’m sad. “After all, we are a mid-sized guild in the top 100.”

“I feel embarrassed even saying it. “Let’s just shut up.”

“I didn’t even want to.”

I was able to intuit it from the conversation.

‘It was purely aimed at Shining.’

To be exact.

Shining’s guild house.

A harsh exclamation erupts.

“Wow, this is amazing~”

“Even if we fall through a crack for the rest of our lives, we won’t even be able to see it.”

“So this building will be ours? Let’s see, if you just kill Rox and Camilla, you don’t need any troublesome procedures, just use the Arcana system!”

If it were Bohemian, there was at least room for negotiation.

‘Because we were the ones who started first.’

But with guys like that, there was no need to worry.

Ssak.

The arrow fired by Camilla blows like a whirlwind.

Asshole juice.

It diverges in several directions.

Puff poop.

Shining executive.

They can’t compete with players from guilds that are only ranked in the top 100.

In the end, Camilla was unable to hide her true feelings.

“Jesse... help Rox.”

Jesse answered.

“I was planning on doing that even if it wasn’t like that.”

“You should have said something. “Camilla, you idiot.”

“Leonie....”

The three Rox flapping their wings in the air.

And then I looked at the mysterious man facing Rox.

The man kept talking to Rox, who looked confused.

Jesse repeated the man’s words.

“A corrupted mixed-blood demon... he is beguiling Rox with his words.”

“What are you doing, you bastard?” Should I fly and knock him down?”

“No, Rox is still okay.”

The fluttering wings definitely looked like the wings of a devil, but Rox maintained his senses. Because he was showing hostility towards the man who was spouting nonsense at him.

“Thank goodness...”

A moment of relief.

Again.

“!!!”

A sound rang out, raising the tension to the extreme.

Camilla Jessie Leonie.

The three people were able to intuit it.

‘...Dangerous.’

The person responsible for the sound of shoes.

This did not mean that heat was dangerous.

It meant that Rox might be dangerous.

Yes, to the devil in his actions so far.

Because it was such a passion that he didn’t even show the slightest mercy.

If Rox is judged to be a devil...

Camilla shook her head as if in denial.

“It’s not the devil, Rox recognized me...!”

But that wind is insignificant.

Close to a scream.

Rox’s voice echoed throughout downtown Seoul.

“Get the hell away from me!”

The ominous premonition seemed to be coming true.

*

It was clear hostility.

“This guy is mine!”

If this guy is talking about Yongseongrak, right?

‘But our relationship wasn’t bad, Rox.’

I swallowed my disappointment and looked at Yong Seong-rak.

No, to be more precise, I looked at Paimon disguised as Yongseongrak.

How did you recognize it right away?

‘It’s strange that you can’t recognize something like that.’

Those eyes that look like they’re not only happy to see me, but also thrilled.

Yong Seong-rak may have respected me when he was alive.

I’ve never looked at you with such sticky gaze.

Without hesitation, I opened my mouth.

“I’ll hold you accountable for your words and actions later, Rox.”

“...what?”

“Because you are not in perfect condition right now.”

Blinking message.

[Skill ‘Natural Relationship’ is activated.]

It wasn’t just because of Paimon.

Black bat wings sprouted from behind Rox’s shoulders.

Because he’s a demon hunter.

I recognized it as soon as I saw it.

Status abnormality.

It is corruption.

Rox has been corrupted into a half-blood demon.

‘As expected, it wasn’t only effective for monsters.’

Same as possession.

The effect was effective for players as well.

If so, from now on I will listen even more to my inner voice.

I had no choice but to listen.

‘Granfell.’

What do you plan to do to Rox, who has become a demon after being corrupted...? It goes without saying, but I, Lee Ho-yeol, couldn’t make a hasty decision.

‘That’s right...’

Because I was able to guess the cause of Rox’s corruption. So, at this moment, I shifted my gaze from Rox. Instead, I looked at the easy-going Paimon.

‘Paimon, if you are.’

Unlike Rox, you will be able to hunt without suffering.

However, Lee Ho-yeol’s shallow choice did not last long.

This was because Paimon politely opened his mouth with Yongseongrak’s body.

“My dear, I, the noble Paimon, ask for your forgiveness.”

This was because he was bent down to his waist.

“Please, at least for a moment.”

...really.

“Please forgive me for doubting you.”

Paimon, are you a devil?

Even so, I’m still upset about Rox.

Why are you being so formal?!

*

Hell.

“Hear his call, brothers.”

Under the green flame.

Men dressed in black gathered together.

A solemn voice rings out.

“Yes, Akshan is calling us.”
