The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 239: Like a dragon (1)



Chapter 239: Like a dragon (1)

There were senior mages waiting in front of the office. Kiko Armin, Belliere Yushia, Banglet Tom, Matis Dean Carl, Nasrow Even some seniors that I had no contact with.

Whats going on?

However, their expressions were all dark.

There was only one thing I could think of.

First of all, its not about the Arcana Continent, is it?

I had just made a presentation a little while ago.

About how I would dispose of the enemies at the Arcana Continent.

In that case.

Is it really about that?

About the fact that I am going to borrow the magic tool until I die?!

Especially with how her dark circles seemed to have reached down her chin.

Looking at Senior Kiko, I became more certain of my speculation.

It made sense why so many seniors came to see me.

Its because I borrowed a lot of your schools magic tools, isnt it?

Seeing as the senior mage of ice magic, Cutain Revel, came as well, my guess seemed to be correct. So how should I explain this The moment I tried to think.

Kiko opened her mouth first.

Im sorry, Chief Lee Hoyeol.

No, there was nothing to be sorry about.

I was more at fault for borrowing twelve magic tools without coordinating it with her.

Even though I felt my conscience stabbed, I shamelessly opened my mouth.

You have nothing to apologize to me.

No.

I know youve come to see me for business.

So lets talk slowly while walking.

To the top floor.

It was too late to go up the stairs alone, anyway

Tap tap~

Right before the top floor of the Mage Tower.

I stopped walking.

I was wondering what was their business, but what?

I am going to die? Why am I going to die?!

This guys overly straightforward speech was the root of the problem. So Kiko and other senior mages completely misunderstood!

I cant let you go like this!

I was entering the Arcana Continent ready for death!

I retraced my steps.

Now that I thought about it

This overreaction was also understandable.

First of all, lets start with the connector.

How should I say this, it felt like leaving a legacy, didnt it?

Its like asking them to take care of it when I am not around.

It was the same for the rental of the battle magic tool.

If I took a step further.

Even the specified rental period could easily be misunderstood as a serious exit.

In the end, I brought this to myself.

Of course, the misunderstanding needed to be corrected.

Truthfully, I would like to explain the effects of [The Last Adventurer] in detail. But just as players didnt understand magic, it was not easy for the senior mages to understand the concept of the system.

In the end, it was best to speak like how I usually did.

It doesnt feel bad to receive your concerns.

!

But theres nothing to worry about.

Because I would come back alive and well.

No, technically, I was going to die once

At any rate, I would return to the Mage Tower.

Dont you know?

What do you?

I make sure to keep my word.

!

Trust me. Ill be back.

I even said things that didnt need to be said.

At least to review your documents.

Anyway, youre so devoted to your work that its almost excessive.

!!!

Only then did the seniors faces brighten up a little.

Matis still looked concerned.

But as I said, theres nothing to worry about, Matis.

Its hard to explain, but you can put your mind at ease.

When I gave him a look, Matis lowered his head.

We will be waiting for Chief Lees return.

You dont have to bow your head, though

I nodded and walked to the top floor of the Mage Tower.

See.

The rules and misunderstandings must have been corrected.

It was finally time to return to the Arcana Continent.

.

.

.

Thud!

Matis closed the door of his office.

Then he murmured quietly.

I knew.

The Chief definitely keeps his word.

He had seen it before, so he had no doubts about it this time too.

Sir Hoyeol would definitely come back to the Mage Tower.

However, it was exactly because Sir Hoyeol always kept his words.

There were words that pierced his heart.

Until the moment of death.

In the argument on the stairs leading to the top floor, Matis listened to the conversation between Hoyeol and other senior mages. Even during that conversation, Hoyeol didnt deny what he said until the end.

Matis said in a low voice.

Do you always have death by your side?

He suddenly recalled Hoyeols right magic.

Overwhelming the Demon King of Conflict.

The power of the right magic was unfathomable.

Is not being afraid of death also related to Sir Hoyeols past

Matis was the founder of black magic who had traveled the continent and observed numerous black magics. Naturally, he was inevitably more familiar with the dark side of Arcana than other people.

A dark side filled with death. However, being close to death and not being afraid of death were completely different.

Matis could guarantee.

No one but Sir Hoyeol.

No one else could stand upright in the face of death.

So it was even more impossible to estimate.

What kind of past Sir Hoyeol had.

However, he could only guess one thing.

Claudie

It might be related with that unexpected word.

*

Another Space.

Oh, have you heard the news?

News? Someone seems to be distracted.

Uh, if you say that, I no longer want to say anything. I would look like a distracted person.

Zero Mountain.

Since the day the dragon was spotted at the top.

The man didnt take his attention away from Zero Mountain.

The reason was simple.

Because the dragon that tore through the dimension and disappeared somewhere didnt come back.

So youre not really curious?

Whats the news that you make a fuss about?

This is really big news, sunbae!

What would she do if the news turned out to be not big at all?

Ill take over your seat.

Only then did the man take his eyes off the mountain range.

Then, he took the tablet that his junior was holding.

News from Earth from AAU appeared on the screen.

What is this?

What do you think, I was right, wasnt I?

Its not April Fools Day today, is it?

No, sunbae. Even if theres a big time difference between Earth and this place. April Fools Day is too far ahead. Now you know why I was so distracted, dont you?

Big news.

Rayman Sean pulled the trigger on the world quest.

As a result, the road to the Arcana continent was opened.

The medium was none other than the connector of the Arcana Continent Record.

The man swallowed.

This is not news to be happy about.

It would definitely have a huge impact.

Damn it, his already complicated mind became even more dizzy.

However, the mans concerns did not last long.

As she just said, it was thanks to the time difference between Earth and space.

S-Sunbae?

!

He felt a strange sense of dj vu from the voice calling him.

The man reflexively looked at the instrument panel.

Then, just like the time when the dragon tore through the dimension and kicked up.

!!

The instrument panel didnt seem to want to come down from the maximum indicator.

What it meant was simple.

The dragon was back in the Zero Mountain.

Crash!

When the lever was operated, the lens of Another Space moved.

Soon, the view of Zero Mountain appeared on the monitor.

But it was weird.

Impossible.

There was nothing in sight except fog.

Unlike back then, there was no black hole captured.

It was an unexpected situation.

The confused man heard a voice.

Senior, its not over there, its up there!!

Up?

The man frowned and asked back.

There was no place on Earth higher than the top of the Zero Mountain.

But she didnt mean up there.

Zero Mountain, located in the Pacific Ocean.

Above its latitude.

To be exact, 37 degrees north latitude and 126 degrees east longitude.

Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

A black hole was rising above Seoul.

W-Why is that in Seoul!!

He was shocked for a moment.

Through the rapidly changing view of the lens.

Another Space soon identified its exact location.

The man opened his mouth.

The Mage Tower

He faltered.

Dont tell me, General Manager Lee Hoyeol?

.

.

.

Good job, Lee Hoyeol.

No matter how much I thought about it.

It was a good thing that the odd portal was manifested on the top floor of the Mage Tower.

It was not just a portal.

It was more suitable to describe it as tearing apart a dimension.

Thump!

Just like when a rupture appeared.

The air was torn apart.

The mana was sucked into the gap of the torn dimension.

I hoped the power was strong.

I wondered if the two people and the cat who were watching silently were shocked.

The Tower Master, with his tail straightened, spoke to me.

Chief Lee, if you change your mind, just let me know at any time.

Wow, look at that cats trick.

He was trying to hand over the tower whenever he got the chance..!

Of course, it would have been easy to ignore.

You dont have to worry about the heads approval vote, Chief Lee.

Now it was really crazy that even Yugwid supported him.

Still, Marcelo was definitely on my side.

Because rather than saying anything, he was just looking at me with concerned eyes.

Actually, there are a lot of things I want to tell you.

[Quest: Marcelos Research]

Mage of the Tower, Chief Mage Marcelo.

In order for him to reach an advanced level of magic.

He wants you to join.

Excluding the Demon Hunter class quest, it could be said to be the first major quest I started. Although I had succeeded in numerous quests and was in the process of carrying them out.

Marcelos research quest was still in progress.

Because the goal is ridiculous.

Explore the oddity and go back to the Arcana Continent!

However, overshadowing that grand goal.

If Raymond Sean hadnt come up with the answer called the connector.

We wouldnt have reached this level now.

Marcelo knew that.

That was why he couldnt raise his head.

But dont overlook Grandfels pride, Marcelo.

I dont know about right now, but.

Would Grandpel be satisfied with the answer given by other people, and by Raymond who was his prey, at that? Well, cant you just by looking at the fact that I dont use the much more convenient connector right now?

Furthermore.

There are at most 10 connectors.

All I could do with the oddity that imitated the structure of such a connector was create a portal that would allow me to travel between continents alone. So, if I were to evaluate the manifested portal in Grandfels words

Dont you think its inefficient, Marcelo?

It was a terrible structure.

!

I spoke calmly to Marcelo, who was surprised.

I wanted to kindly explain what I thought in my head.

Like I said before.

The amount of mana consumed was no joke!

At this rate, Ill run out of mana before I can enter.

As expected, it was best to simply convey it.

Once I return, I will continue my research on oddity.

As expected of Marcelo.

Even if I spoke nonsense, he understood what I meant.

His face was immediately filled with joy.

Marcelo bowed his head and thanked me.

Ill keep that in mind and wait for you, Sir Hoyeol.

Receiving the send-off, I made my way to the portal of oddity.

Just like how light poured out from portals.

Thick darkness poured out of the portal of oddity.

But what was my other nickname?

Although I dont want to say it with my own mouth

It was Infinitely Deep Darkness.

It was hard for me to be frightened by such darkness.

My dark history was darker and scarier

.

.

.

I opened my eyes in the dark.

Here I was.

the Arcana Continent.

A familiar message greeted me.

[You have entered the Arcana Continent that is heading towards destruction.]

Return to the Arcana Continent.

Once again, youve kept your word, Grandfel.

It reminded me of the time I stepped on the Arcana Continent through the [Map That Connects All Things].

In a dying state.

Just before being exploded along with millions of demons using the Iron Castles magic cannon.

I definitely had said that.

This is just the beginning.

I am a demon hunter.

I am your natural enemy and fear.

Thats right.

Shouldnt I keep those words?

The current Lee Hoyeol.

Dont think that hes the same as Lee Hoyeol back then.

I recited in a cold voice.

Didnt I tell you? Millions were just the beginning.

[Skill, Natural Enemy Relationship, is activated]

Then a message appeared.

[Fear occurs in the Sage of the Demon World, Shahinpakum.]

[Fear occurs in the Cruel Conman, Russell.]

[Fear occurs in the Corpse Scavenger, Demon Worm.]

[Fear occurs in the Leather-Armored Capiscream.]

There were tens of millions of messages.
