Chapter 256: It's not a request, it's an order (1)
Like when I acquired [Aesthetic] and [Tenacity].
Or like when I opened up the [Title] system.
Knowledge about the [Legend] penetrated my mind.
But its a bit difficult to explain in words?
Unlike the stats mentioned above, the effect was not clear.
Well, it was worth the name legend.
Just like how the common legends were all vague.
The effects of [Legend] could not be easily defined.
But If I were to briefly explain it.
It was definitely a growth-type system.
The more widely it is known, the more effective it becomes
If I were a normal player, wouldnt I be happy about this?
I gained a new ability.
It was not a one-time thing, but a growth-type.
Above all, the name [Legend] was extremely grandiose.
But at this moment, I couldnt be happy at all.
[Acquire the legend, Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol.]
The legends name was Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol!
To improve my skills.
I had to spread that terrible legend even further!
I felt like I just wanted to sit down and do nothing.
I cant carry my face.
The hardship in the reality passed through my head.
How much effort did I put into hiding the fact that I was the Dark Dragon?
But even though my struggle was useless on the Arcana Continent.
I didnt expect it to be so famous that it became a legend.
Who the hell is it?!
I called Haiel.
Haiel was knowledgeable about the news from the Arcana Continent since her days as a low-level spirit.
If my news had been talked about enough to become a legend, it would not be difficult to find its source.
Soon, Haiel appeared out of thin air and bowed her head as always.
Haiel comes to see my lord, the Dark Dragon.
Haiel, you too?!
Just hearing my lord was already shameful.
Please dont add a cumbersome title.
But there was a good reason for that title.
Eunaxus, Dwarves, and the Emperor?
The legend of the Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol.
It was a joint legend created by the union of dragons, spirits, dwarves, and humans! The moment Haiel finished speaking, I calmed down.
I cant even ask anyone anyway.
There were so many people involved.
This meant that no one could be held accountable.
In addition, the intention.
The intention was more than satisfactory by Grandfels standards.
Thats a wise decision.
They would suppress the energy of demons with the legend of the Dark Dragon.
They were all experienced.
In a way I never imagined.
I never thought I would turn the momentum of the Arcana Continent around.
In the end, it was also a favor for me.
Grandfel generously tolerated the Tower Masters handling of the cats works.
Since it was done out of goodwill.
No matter how I, Lee Hoyeol, felt.
I couldnt express my displeasure.
But it still didnt make sense.
Lets say that Eunaxus, Chainwalker, and Haiel did it because they were on my side.
Not only they were blindly infatuated, they also overestimated me.
It made sense they did that.
But Emperor, what the hell is wrong with you?
Why did you participate in the idolization?
According to Haiel.
The Emperor made a formal declaration in front of Antoniums people.
Adventurer Lee Hoyeol was that Dark Dragon.
I guess I should be glad I wasnt there.
He made a proclamation in the name of the Emperor.
Considering the passage of time on the Arcana Continent
It wouldnt have been strange for my actions to become a legend.
More importantly.
Thanks to you, they all seem to be kneeling down nicely.
The effect of the legend was no joke.
I wasnt talking about the effects of the newly opened system, [Legend].
As a demon hunter, I could feel the presence of the demons.
Compared to just before, when I stepped on the Arcana Continent.
The presence of the demons had definitely calmed down.
I cant say anything about this, really
It couldnt be helped, this was my fate too.
But with this.
Not only on the reality, I had to struggle on the Arcana Continent.
Well, this damn legend was floating around on the Arcana Continent.
I would have to do my best to prevent it from flooding into the reality!
In order to do that, first of all.
It would be best to keep Kitch in check.
Of course, on the Arcana Continent.
I didnt know where Kitch landed.
Shell take care of herself.
Kitch was not a character that was weak enough for me to worry about.
I had also set a date and place for the appointment.
Lets worry about my future instead of worrying about Kitch, Hoyeol.
I asked Haiel.
Have you heard any news about elves, Haiel?
Unfortunately, I did not receive a response.
You dont have to apologize. That would also be their ability.
Haiels information collection was done through nature.
Like reading the memories of leaves fluttering in the wind.
Or listening to the voice of the fluttering pollen.
However, the problem was that the elves also had similar abilities.
Theyve made sure to clamp them down.
How much nasty stuff they had been doing that they even tried to clamp down on nature?
I felt like I needed to check on them as well.
In that case, my priority was to specify the location of Argentress and the elves he led. So if you asked me how I would pinpoint their location
I would confidently show you my inventory.
This was the [Evil Eyes Telescope] seen from the Arcana Continent.
Wouldnt it look more vivid than when used in the reality?
*
Crack!
Argentress trampled on a pile of rubbles.
It was not a common rubble.
It was the remains of a castle wall that could not be destroyed even by most siege weapons.
Please let me live!
Crack
The demon slammed his head hard on the ground.
He was not a demon divided into classes, nor he was a demon of the true name.
He was called the king of demons, the demon king.
30th in the ranking.
The Demon King, Shalkirawi, was confused in his mind.
Whack!
He hit his head so hard on the ground.
The blood dripping from his forehead covered his vision.
However, even through his cloudy vision, he could clearly see it.
Its an annihilation.
Corpses scattered around.
Approximately 10,000 elite demon king armies and 30 demon army commanders.
It took only half a day for the entire army except him to be annihilated.
To only a hundred people!
Just like how there was a wall between a demon king and an ordinary demon.
There was also a wall between the elves and him.
And the thickness of that wall
Its thicker than the difference between me and the lower-ranking demon.
There was a different word for such a wall.
Yes, this was a difference of rank.
Shalkirawi felt it.
I cant overcome it as I am now.
That was why he threw away the demon kings dignity and slammed his head.
He begged for his life from a being of a different rank.
Argentress looked indifferently at Shalkirawi.
King of demons.
I am not a king at all, Sir!
I never thought I would hear a demon king call me sir.
Argentress sneered.
Unlike other kings, you have a good manner.
A race as low as humans, demons.
The reason Argentress conversed with him was simple.
Argentress continues coldly.
Tell me what Gluttony has been doing.
As time passed, their energy of life was fading away.
The fact that the Demon Kings Castle collapsed in half a day was proof of that.
Literally, if it was back when they still had Mothers blessing.
They would have secured it in an instant.
The aging is progressing at an alarming rate.
Him and his kin.
But most importantly him.
As the original elf, he had lived much longer than his kin.
Therefore, Argentress made a decision.
He would accept Gluttonys suggestion first.
But unfortunately, things went wrong.
Where have you hid that great evil?
After that day, Gluttonys activities became unknown.
Argentress pursued the location of the blessing while also pursuing Gluttony.
In the meantime, he came across him.
Shalkirawi, the demon king who might know the whereabouts of Gluttony.
I dont know anything about him, Sir!!!
However, the answer was below expectations.
No, he didnt even expect anything from a lowly race.
Should he say it was exactly as he expected?
Thrud.
Just as he was about to turn around without saying anything.
Shalkirawi sensed it.
The moment Argentress completely turned his head.
He would become a target for arrows and died of suffocation.
Shalkirawi hastily opened his mouth.
But I dare to tell you this, Sir!
Argentress stopped with about half of his body turned.
His life depended on what he would say.
Shalkirawi continued.
Even if you interrogate me and other demon kings, you will never find the traces of the great evil. I am not trying to protect him. Dont you know this too? The demons are a lowly race who only think about themselves!!
Argentress asked.
Why?
Because we and the great evil are fundamentally different.
Youre fundamentally different?
Thats right.
Great evil.
Even before the Arcana Continent and the Demon World were connected.
They had existed on the Arcana Continent.
Shalkirawi continued with his head still down.
There is no such thing as a cooperative relationship between us lowly demon kings and the great evils. Were competitors that want to bite each others necks at any time!
Gulp
Perhaps because he was extremely nervous.
Once he finished talking, his throat burned.
Shalkirawi quenched his thirst with flowing blood.
Then he thought.
I can live if I sell out the great evil.
It didnt matter if the elf saw through him.
He didnt tell a lie.
Shalkirawi said sincerely.
I feel wronged, Sir! Its unfair that I will die because of that guy Gluttony. But please, know this. This feeling is not directed at you, Sir, but at the great evil, Gluttony!!
Shalkirawi knew himself well.
He was one of the few demons who knew his place.
Shalkirawi was not special.
It was this power that allowed him to rise to the position of 30th-ranked Demon King.
However.
Swish
The problem was that he had underestimated his opponent.
Argentress just turned around.
He had wondered what the demon was talking about.
Im not curious about the stories of lowly things.
After all, he had no answer to his question, didnt he?
The moment Argentress completely turned around.
Swoosh!
The bowstring was set.
Slash!
The arrow was stretched out.
Hit!
It went straight through Shalkirawi.
It was an instant death.
To say that it was the last moment of the 30th-ranked demon king was utterly insignificant.
It was truly an inferior conversation.
Argentress beckoned.
They didnt have much time, so they had to hurry.
The elves then lined up and were ready to move.
But their footsteps that never wavered.
!
Their five senses were superior to all races except the dragon.
Their intuition was warning them.
A mass of magic lights flickered in the distance.
A being slowly revealed itself.
It was absolutely dangerous.
Still, no one raised their bow.
To be exact, no one could move.
Their body didnt listen?
Their whole body was as stiff as stone and their feet didnt move.
Let alone moving their fingers.
They couldnt even look away.
They just barely opened their mouth.
Argentress-nim?
If it was Argentress, they were certain.
He would figure out the cause and solve it.
The elves had infinite trust in Argentress.
Soon after, the man revealed himself completely.
They were able to give him a hostile look.
So they didnt know.
At this moment.
I cant believe it.
What kind of expression the Argentress, whom they trust so much, had on his face. It was a shock that went beyond surprise. It was a distortion that went beyond a frown.
But no matter how hard he glared, nothing changed.
Brilliant silver.
It was definitely Claudies.
The presence he felt.
It was definitely Mothers blessing.
Argentress murmured unconsciously.
It cant be!
.
.
.
I had no intention of praising them for destroying the Demon Kings Castle.
Their impure intentions.
I had just checked everything through the [Evil Eyes Telescope]
So dont even think about leaving the site.
You all are caught red-handed.
As long as I had the [Blessing of the First World Tree].
The relationship between me and the elves.
It was like the natural enemy relationship between the demon hunter and the demons.
So I didnt have to worry about taking responsibility for what I was going to say from now on. It didnt matter how arrogant Grandfels remarks were.
Dont you dare talk about ranks in front of me.
Because Im different from you guys.
[Hierarchy of Blessings occurs in the elf, Argentress, and the elves.]
