The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 464

Episode 464. It’s as familiar to me as breathing (2)

A familiar silhouette.

His identity was clearly Kichi, the former leader of the shadow mercenaries.

If you’re a kitsch, you might know my full name.

Why did Kitsch break his promise and wander the continent alone?

‘You might have heard my full name somewhere.’

It’s a legend that resonates, because it was loud no matter what.

But what you hear through others and what you say yourself are on a different level? After all, you can’t make any more excuses, right? Considering the temperament of Granfell, who never takes back what he says!

‘It’s over now, Hoyeol. It’s easier if you give up…’

But.

‘…for a moment.’

Granfell’s keen aesthetic sense twitched.

I am not delicate.

Lee Ho-yeol reminded me of something I had momentarily forgotten.

‘Why is your hair so long?’

Me, hanging loosely.

I’m not talking about Lee Ho-yeol’s silver hair.

It was obviously Kitsch who cut his hair into a bob that fell down to his cheeks.

It probably isn’t hair extensions like some people say.

Kitsch had long hair before he knew it.

That wasn’t the only question.

Chireung.

A light hissing sound of metal.

under the shadows.

Kitsch didn’t seem to have the slightest hesitation as he took out his dagger.

Kitsch is the one who gave me back Grandfell’s sister’s hair.

‘Kitchi is pointing a weapon at me? ‘It can’t happen.’

At that point I was sure.

That’s not kitsch.

It’s ‘something’ that looks exactly like kitsch.

Maybe it’s not that strange.

Kitsch is the master of the Shadow Corridor.

Because they said they made a contract with the Shadow God.

Suddenly, the employee’s words come to mind.

-“But now that the Shadow Corridor is open. “Except for Grandfell Claudius Arpheus Romeo, ‘distinguished guests’ are also entering the corridor.”

Could it be that those VIPs were referring to those who signed a contract with the Shadow God? What gave confidence to the guess was, of course, Granfell’s insight that once he had seen something, he did not easily forget it.

Even under bright sunlight.

Kitsch without a shadow like a ghost.

Well then, the conclusion has been reached.

I opened my mouth to Kitsch’s shadow.

“You are misunderstanding the master you are supposed to serve.”

It is not just a shadow of kitsch.

I found the shadow corridor.

declared to all the distinguished guests.

“Your master is not a shadow god or anything like that.”

I don’t know what the unfair contract is.

Shadows have their own owners, right?

Of course, there were no shadows that were moved by my words.

The hireling muttered as he prepared for the next blow.

“You can speak confidently even in this situation. As your reputation suggests, you have great speaking skills. But I’m sorry. “Grandfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.”

Doesn’t your mouth hurt from reciting that long name over and over again?

I hid my disapproval.

I raised my eyebrows.

“As I said, there are corridor rules in the Shadow Corridor. And there is an unprecedented bounty of 1,000 karma on you.”

It’s a bounty.

At those words, I shifted my gaze, even if it was just for a moment.

Watch for flashing system messages.

[Current bounty: 1000 Karma]

Karma.

You’re probably referring to the unit of currency. The employee said it was unusual. And just by looking at the number of VIPs rushing towards me, I could tell that it was a very large amount of money.

At the same time, I was also looking forward to it.

‘Can I buy something great with this?’

Let’s think about the appropriate level of the shadow corridor.

A whopping 2,000 to 3,000.

Above all, it is a shadow ‘god’.

‘Maybe…’

Wouldn’t it be possible to purchase [Mythic] level items with karma?

Why is it that even if it’s kimchi soup, you can touch the bowl with your lips?

However, integrity itself.

Liberated from worldly desires.

It seemed that it wasn’t our Granfell.

“You harm innocent people for the bounty.”

Anyway, the owner owns the weapon.

-Owner. It’s time to make the Geomgang shine.

It seemed the same was true for Gwicheol.

“thanks. “I can dispose of you more seriously.”

Anyway, it’s good.

Anyway, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to enter the social scene right around the corner without being sincere. It was structured as a corridor with several corridors leading to the entrance to a single social hall.

‘If time passes here, more VIPs will flock.’

So I set my first goal.

I don’t know how the social gathering space was created.

It would be better than dealing with the shadows that would constantly flock to you.

The moment I thought that, Gwicheol resonated.

-Owner. What is my name at this moment?

What is coming has come.

The dizzying name that suddenly comes to mind [Sword that cuts through illusions: Illusion Breaker]. The first path along the sword of pride that was taken to cut up Rayman Shen’s prototype.

‘Yes, you will need it.’

Since there is no devil, [Celestial Relationship] is not activated.

This means that I, who has just surpassed level 1,000, must do whatever it takes to survive in a hidden piece with an appropriate level of 2,000 to 3,000.

It was finally time to pioneer the second path with the sword of pride.

therefore.

I spat it out with all my goddamn naming sense.

“Swallow.”

You did it and now you added the starter word, Granfell?

“Shadow Slayer.”

Really, no matter how many times I listen to it, I can’t get used to it. It was just a feast of overly fancy names. Fortunately, there was no time to suffer from shame during the misfortune.

Swaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

fast.

And sharp.

The surprise attack is only aimed at my vital location.

Are they really the contractors of the Shadow God?

To put it simply, each and every one of them is the leader of a shadow mercenary group.

I guess you could say it’s kitsch level.

So I had no choice but to be thankful.

[Sword that swallows shadows: Shadow Slayer]

[Class: Legendary]

[Restrictions: Unknown]

[Effect: Destructive power increases significantly when fighting a ‘shadow’.]

[Description: An ego sword with a noble ego. ]

Boom.

Thanks to the significant increase in destructive power. Just by joining forces, we were able to throw away the charging shadow with one strike. But that alone is not enough.

It is impossible to properly deal with an opponent who is rushing at you to take your breath away.

-I’ll swallow it all.

Examination (??).

The silver sword energy changes into a fiery form.

It seems that the declaration that he would devour it was not a bluff.

The moment I hit back at the incoming attack.

Goooooh.

“!”

It went beyond blocking the weapon wielded by the VIP and evaporated it.

To be more specific, skip the burning process.

It would be appropriate to say that it was immediately reduced to ashes.

‘But that one isn’t normal either.’

If it had been a demon or a normal monster, it would have stopped short at the sight of its allies being crushed. But is it just a shadow without emotions? The VIP’s shadows moved mechanically.

‘shit.’

A ceaseless strike.

It must have passed by.

My forearms and sides were throbbing everywhere.

‘Is he also a low-class demon hunter?’

In a state where [Natural Relationship] is not activated, it is natural that even if you hold the Ego Sword, use the unique stat called [Focus], or use various advanced techniques, you will not be able to bring out its true value.

‘In that case, I have no choice but to act sincerely.’

What was the purpose of accepting this dangerous invitation in the first place?

Of course, it was important to cancel Granfell’s sister’s debt and the unfair contract as the new employer of the shadow mercenaries. However, controlling the rampage of [Children’s Solitary Entity] is an equally important goal.

however.

‘No, where else would I experience something like this?’

Let’s be a little more greedy, Hoyeol.

Because it was a shadow of kitsch, it was impossible to know who was stronger or what the difference was compared to the real kitsch. However, fighting for your life with someone as strong as Kitsch is not something you can easily experience.

Furthermore.

‘I don’t know, but if it’s Granfell’s talent.’

Isn’t it possible that we can get inspiration from this duel and develop it into a kii? So, I didn’t cower even from the damage. I straightened my back in my usual posture and opened my mouth.

“You’re slow.”

If I were to translate the Granfell style of speaking.

“Enough to make me yawn.”

I meant to struggle a little more…!

Sassy liquid.

Of course, there were no shadows running around in anger or excitement.

Just at a certain speed.

They just pour out attacks at me from the blind spot of my field of vision.

‘I’m gradually getting used to it. see.’

I focused on dodging the attack by tracking it with my eyes.

In the meantime, his posture is extremely upright.

I wish I could say that.

Gwicheol.

No, Shadow Slayer also added a word.

-is it…!

So what else?

-It was something like that. As the counterattack grows, the gaps and blind spots in the field of vision also widen. Master, you have controlled your movements to the extreme, forming a barrier!

What forms a barrier?

What kind of bullshit is that?

I wanted to deny it right away.

‘How can you be so calm?’

I guess I overlooked it without realizing it.

Granfell’s natural talent.

Yes, Shadow Slayer was right.

Gran Fell is in the sum of coming and going.

A new posture had already been created.

As I said, emotions did not exist in shadows.

They attack in a cool-headed manner, targeting only loopholes.

This means that not only does provocation not work, but it also means not letting down one’s guard.

however.

“Is this the end?”

Those shadows stood still and did not move.

Upright like bamboo.

He just stared at me, standing tall.

of course.

‘Oh, it’s bitter.’

Since it was my first time, it couldn’t be perfect.

You said you definitely acted unreasonably, right? The appropriate level was 2,000 to 3,000. This was because the dagger passed through my body a few more times before my body got used to the new posture.

But is it possible for pain to be revealed in this impenetrable skin?

“I think it would be a good idea to leave this welcome message.”

In the end, it was the employee who put on the mask first.

The corners of the mouth rise under the black veil.

It’s amazing how you can hide your revealed insides so casually.

A moment when I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She continued.

“We will continue to provide information regarding the social gathering center.”

Geek.

It seems like he has completely returned to the attitude of an employee.

I bow politely and open the door to the social gathering hall.

In that case, we have no choice but to respond like nobles.

“Thank you.”

Countless tables.

Only the candle placed above it emits light.

It was not enough to brighten up the wide social space.

The employee bowed and stepped away.

“I will be the guide from here.”

At the same time, someone bends down on the other side.

Likewise, the body was wrapped in a black veil.

The voice was not much different from that of the employee who had been with me just a moment ago.

‘Are they like twins?’

Anyway, I guess that’s not the point.

“I will clearly state to the distinguished guests the special rules of the social venue. In this social hall, the first rule of the corridor is temporarily suspended. Therefore, I would like you, dear guest, to immediately remove the weapons you are carrying.”

Put down your weapons.

I told you to doubt everything you say.

Still, the system doesn’t lie.

[One. The free duel system is temporarily disabled.]

Only then did I sigh in relief.

‘But there’s still room to breathe?’

At the same time.

I thought about the familiar social gathering system.

In the [Space-Time Social Hall], items were purchased with [Space-Time Gold Coins].

‘You can buy something called karma here, right?’

[Currently possessed karma: 1000]

Karma in the same amount as the bounty.

Honestly, I don’t know what I did

to have this much karma.

‘Whatever it is, should I buy something first?’

Maybe there is an item that can help you survive in the Shadow Corridor. Let’s at least take a look.

I sat down in my seat so naturally that you wouldn’t think I was a person who had been fighting to the death just before.

chuck.

Following my lead, the VIPs found their seats one by one and sat down… I felt like I knew why only the first rule had been disabled.

Amtu.

Because it’s a social venue. In order to maintain formality, only duels involving striking and fighting were prohibited. It seems that bounty hunting continues here as well, regardless of means and methods.

‘So there’s no time to let down your guard even for a moment.’

You are vicious, Shadow God.

As expected, he has the lowest level of affection for me.

It can be said that it is in the palm of his hand.

“Excuse me.”

While I was clicking my tongue, the socialite’s employee came towards me.

Squeak.

He put down the glass and filled it from the ceramic teapot.

“I don’t receive any karma. Please enjoy.”

Is it like a celebratory drink?

As he looked at the cup being filled, Granfell’s senses warned him.

Poisoning is a regular customer of cancer fighting.

We should be suspicious of unreasonable favors.

But as for this crisis.

I guess I could have gotten over Granfell without you warning me?

Yes.

They say that the Shadow Corridor is a place where all kinds of evil tactics can take place.

Because I won’t take it easy.

“Unfortunately.”

The hand naturally goes to the inside pocket.

A teacup that appears in the air.

I opened my mouth, skillfully placing a green tea bag in the special cup.

“It’s not enough to make me happy.”

…I just wanted some green tea, so you’re saying it well, right?
