The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 463

Episode 463. As familiar as breathing to me (1)

Rock Kid, the living legend of the Colosseum.

Despite its reputation and size.

Masses of muscle were scattered unsightly on the dirt floor.

“I’m going to kill you.”

“shut up.”

“So where are you?…”

“Just hearing that name will make me so angry, so shut up!!”

Who made the rock kid of the world look so ugly?

Former Shadow Mercenary Group 3 seats.

Henderson chuckled.

“It’s been so many years since I was addicted to alcohol and pleasure, but did you think your physical strength would be the same as it was in the past? The world is not that easy, Lock Kid. “If you trust in your youthful spirit and go for it, you will end up with a bitter taste.”

How dare you give advice to my life?

The shadow mercenary group has also been officially disbanded. If Rock Kid was his usual temperamental person, it wouldn’t have been surprising if he ran over and grabbed Henderson by the collar.

however.

“Fuck, even if I could have moved, you would have fallen behind.”

The muscles in my entire body stopped listening!

Moreover, although the words were spoken harshly, I wasn’t particularly angry at Henderson’s sarcasm. In fact, the guy who was talking, Henderson, was also lying on the floor and moaning like me.

Former 9-seat Decheve let out a long yawn.

“How did Grandpa Alkali Akshan come into existence? Did you really do this ridiculous training every day? “It’s not only annoying, but if I push myself any further, I think breathing will become a hassle…?”

Yes.

The culprit of it all was fucking Akshan.

Never-ending training.

If you barely finish, the training is repeated again.

Former 5-seat Herchiora grumbled.

“Yes, you have to go through some trouble to wash your dirty hands and be born again. Training and everything is good. So when are we going to catch our devil?”

I never thought a day would come when I would miss the devil’s face.

“It’s no joke. You’d rather hang out with those disgusting bastards all day? “Then you can miss training for at least a day, right?”

They say it is a magic class with relatively low physical abilities.

There could be no exceptions to Akshan’s new rules.

Isn’t it obvious?

Because it was a process that ‘whoever’ rebuilt Akshan also went through.

The members were strewn about like rags.

Among them, there were some who still saved face.

It was Kitsch and Wolf.

“Whoa.”

I repeatedly trained to the limit for several days.

Although the body was already screaming.

The two of them had a greater cause than that.

Is it the difference in posture?

The two people worked hard to correct their posture.

“Can you feel it, Captain?”

“Yes, to a certain extent.”

“It disappeared completely.”

Thanks to you, I was able to feel it.

It was vague, but the smell of the devil lingered on the bridge of my nose.

Of course, the two were not mistaken.

“What kind of person would he be if he could smell the entire continent?”

It was not because their talents as demon hunters were exceptional. It’s just that the smell of the devil wafting out was so strong that I couldn’t get rid of it without noticing it.

Rock Kid asked those two people.

“Hey, Captain…. Those guys who used to be! So how long are we going to have to suffer like this? “No matter how large the territory is, it’s frustrating and it’s running behind!!”

Cloudy’s territory was vast.

The fact that a former group of shadow mercenaries is staying in this annex.

Because the adventurers in the mansion didn’t know.

“So, being frustrated is an excuse, right?”

Decheve hit the nail on the head.

“I’m just hungry for a drink.”

“what? “Don’t shut up, you little rat.”

“Don’t you know that Akshan’s rule is abstinence from alcohol?”

“What what?! That prohibition?! Is this really true, Captain?!”

Wolf whispered softly to Kitsch.

“There are no such rules, so I guess you haven’t read them properly, right?”

Of course, what does discipline have to do with anything?

Although he had a low rank, he was a rock kid that no one could easily control.

I never thought that Rock Kid would properly participate in this kind of training.

This was unthinkable in the past.

Wolf chuckled.

“But at that rate, I’m protecting it well, aren’t I…”

…Chief?

Wolf added something to the uncharacteristically quiet Kitsch.

His face instantly turned as white as a sheet of paper.

Because Kitsch’s pupils lost focus.

“!”

Tuk.

Wolf caught Kitchi, who was just falling apart.

So much so that I thought I couldn’t hold it if I didn’t have the feeling of it touching my fingertips.

Kitsch’s body was as light as a feather.

This is not a metaphor; its weight was no different from that of a feather.

However, this was expected from the moment the shadow of kitsch disappeared.

So Wolf didn’t panic.

“Chief, are you okay?”

“Wolf what’s going on?”

“What is happening all of a sudden? “You didn’t pass out because you were tired, right?”

The members, realizing the seriousness of the situation, approached one by one.

And soon everyone noticed.

Cloudy’s estate.

Different rules apply from the Arcana continent.

Because it was a [hidden piece] in the language of adventurers, I overlooked it for a while.

Wolf parted his lips in a confident voice.

“…The leader was taken away. “The Shadow Corridor has opened.”

*

One step.

I confidently entered the wide open shadow corridor.

Indeed, the interior is as grand as the exterior.

Two steps.

Above all, you put a lot of effort into directing?

Hwareuk.

Candles light up every time I take a step.

Creeping.

My shadow flickers noisily in the candlelight.

‘It’s dreary, it’s dreary.’

And above all, don’t lie.

Even the hostility of the shadow god towards me emerged as a system message.

Perhaps because all of that came together, the atmosphere was not a joke.

It was then.

I felt a sense of popularity from across the hallway.

Sigh.

Judging by the way he politely bows his head and says hello…

it looks like he’s treating them like a guest, right?

Should I say this is fortunate?

‘Honestly, I feel uncomfortable.’

But this damn formality and procedure.

As a proud nobleman.

How to treat other people’s employees with appropriate formality.

Thanks to this, I had no choice but to calmly open my mouth.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t meet the deadline on the invitation.”

…okay.

Given your personality, I thought that was definitely the first thing I said to you, Granfell.

Regardless of the reason, you can’t live and die on time.

“It’s not like that.”

Eventually, the approaching figure responded in a polite voice.

Although her entire body was covered with a black veil.

The voice was that of a gentle woman.

“The owner of the Shadow Corridor told me to express my gratitude to Grandfell Claudius Arpheus Romeo for accepting the invitation.”

…okay?

‘No, I can’t get used to it because it comes out so suddenly.’

If you appreciate it.

Could you please tell me to refrain from calling you by your full name…?

An earnest request came up to my throat.

“Then, from now on, I will officially inform you about the regulations of the Shadow Corridor. “This is a place where rules are completely different from the usual places on the Arcana Continent…”

I answered as if I was taking a quiz.

“I already figured out the hidden piece.”

“…yes? “A hidden piece?”

“It’s the language of strangeness, so it’s natural that you don’t know it.”

Don’t fill your self-esteem with petty things like that, Granfell.

Isn’t self-esteem always at its maximum so there’s no need to fill it up? In any case, the employee paused but continued speaking without being caught up in the Granfell-style speech.

“The invitation to this corridor was sent only to Grandfell Claudius Arpheus Romeo. But now the shadow corridor is open. “Except for Grandfell Claudius Arpheus Romeo, ‘distinguished guests’ are also entering the corridor.”

Other VIPs.

‘Then I guess I can feel a little relieved.’

I don’t know who stepped into the Shadow Corridor, but it’s comforting to know that I’m not alone. However, the sigh of relief that was about to flow was dispersed by the words that followed.

“As an employee, I would like to give you some presumptuous advice: keep a close eye on those VIPs. “This is because there are no particular ‘restrictions’ to the rules of the Shadow Corridor that serve the Shadow God.”

no limits.

As if it wasn’t a lie.

My eyes sparkled.

[The rules of the Shadow Corridor apply to you.]

[1. The free duel system is activated.]

[2. The bounty system is activated.]

[3. The shadow system is activated.]

Who is the Shadow God?

The worst criminal group on the Arcana continent.

This is the god served by the Shadow Mercenaries.

As expected, the rules are extremely confusing.

Of course, this was also expected to some extent.

There was no need for understanding since it was a free duel and was just a fight. When I think of the shadow mercenaries who were driven only by money, including bounties, it was completely understandable that such a rule existed.

however.

‘Activation of Amtu?’

Amturani.

I couldn’t figure out what exactly meant.

But it was from then on.

I began to sense an unusual force from the employee who was ahead of me.

I could intuit it.

‘Hiding life behind a smiling face.’

Of course, there are limits to classes.

This meant that I was not an assassin, nor did I possess [Premonition] or [Insight], which are the unique stats of other classes, so I could not immediately sense the lethality of someone who was not a demon.

But I was feeling it clearly at this moment.

Hwareuk.

Candles light up one by one with every step I take.

Thanks to this, the scenery of the shadow corridor is gradually revealed.

Numerous signs targeting me from beneath those swaying shadows.

Yes.

This is me.

That wasn’t what I, Ho-yeol Lee, was feeling.

?There was a good reason why Grandfell was chosen as the family’s successor at the age of only 7.?

Until he was chosen as the next head of the Cloudy family.

And until the day the family falls.

Gran Fell must have suffered from numerous dark struggles.

The sense of Granfell, who survived the firing line, was influencing me, Lee Ho-yeol, whose proficiency in [Heaven and World Sovereign Infants] exceeded 70%.

Think about the meaning of cancer fighting.

Hiding hostility behind a smiling face.

A cunning plan is basic.

Eliminating the opponent by any means necessary.

So, I didn’t let down my guard even to my employer.

“Beyond the door is a social gathering place.”

He maintained his integrity and hit the ball.

“It seems that the rules of the Shadow Corridor apply not only to VIPs but also to those who stay in the corridor. “It is a discipline appropriate for fairness regardless of right or wrong.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“There should be no exceptions to the rules.”

“…!”

Now that his true intentions have been discovered.

I guess there’s no need to hide it.

For a split second, a dagger shined in her hand.

Crack.

Are these unexpected patterns reflected at the appropriate level? I didn’t know that much, but I definitely realized that I shouldn’t trust anyone’s words in the Shadow Corridor.

Sreung.

I took out my sword and hit back the employee’s attack.

And then I checked again.

You can’t say something else later, right?

“Then the owner of the corridor can’t be an exception to the rule.”

Yes, Hoyeol.

“Let someone tell your master.”

It is a shadow corridor far from the Arcana Continent.

No one would know me.

What if I say your full name out loud?

“I, Granfell Claudius Arpheus Romeo, will gladly accept treatment as your honored guest.”

It was the moment I boldly declared from the entrance to the Shadow Corridor.

Ososo?

For a moment, goosebumps appeared down my spine.

It had to be that way.

I didn’t receive an invitation, though.

Other VIPs who entered the Shadow Corridor for some reason.

Among them.

‘…Wait, that’s it?’

Because somehow a familiar silhouette came into view.

What that meant was simple.

…You mean you saw and heard it?

I am Granfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.

With my mouth.

Spitting out that damned full name…?!
