The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 483

Episode 483. Calling (3)

Hidden Quest.

As a player, you can’t help but feel excited the moment you witness that word.

Quests are not that common after the cataclysm.

A hidden quest.

If it’s a hundred, it’s natural that you have no choice but to be a hundred. But it wasn’t me. It’s hidden, it’s main, it’s class. It’s not a full-fledged complaint that you’ve become dull after completing various quests.

There were so many blinking quests, but there were so many!

“Right.”

Knowledge of elemental science passing through my mind.

Hidden quests came to mind as the number of elemental spirits that existed.

No, to be precise.

Aside from the darkness, one thing was lacking.

I did not overlook that one presence.

“I will remember you, Dryad.”

Dryad, the spirit king of the forest.

Still, maybe it’s because it’s a spherical surface.

The dryad didn’t seem to have any questions about Hayel.

I still lack knowledge about the {natural world} of spirits.

‘Still, there is at least some warmth.’

Of course, the content of the quest wasn’t like that.

Okay.

In the order that came to mind.

I put Dawn’s jacket on my shoulder and carefully examine its contents.

As expected, you were the first to come forward with enthusiasm.

[Hidden Quest: Proof of Flame]

Phoenix, the spirit king of flame.

Phoenix wants to prove the blessings of the World Tree.

Overcome the fiery ordeal and prove the existence of the World Tree.

-Natural world: Enter the territory of flame. (In progress)

Let’s see. The contents of the other quests were not much different.

In fact, even if it was proof, it was nothing new.

You said proving to Granfell was a daily routine, right?

And while being harassed by Granfell like that.

Whether you like it or not, there are all sorts of proofs.

I was struggling to realize my overestimation.

The only thing I was looking at was the goal.

“Is this destination a natural world?”

Let’s look at it from the player’s perspective here as well.

‘You’re probably wondering what to do?’

Spirits are beings that ordinary people cannot witness.

It is said that contract spirits are visible to the general public, but in order to make a contract with a spirit, the priority is to face the spirit in its natural state.

In that sense, the natural world where spirits reside?

It must be a fantasy-like space.

Feiyan Lot, senior wizard of elemental science.

I remember that there was content related to it in the book she wrote.

??????

Spirits stay in the natural world. However, even if a spirit has been witnessed, there is no one who has witnessed the natural world. Because humans are beings who do not meet the conditions by losing their ‘purity’ to enter the natural world…

??????

Purity.

‘I don’t know, but Granfell is also pure.’

This is one purpose.

A writer who only pursues pride should not be described as pure.

Who on earth can be described as pure?

‘That’s why I was able to witness the spirit.’

However, the problem was how to enter the natural world.

So how do we enter the natural world?

Fayan also asked the contract spirit Fire Drake about it.

??????

In the past, Fire Drake tried to lead the writer, a contractor, to the natural world. However, despite numerous attempts and efforts, I could not reach the natural world. Is it because my body is not light? Fasting wasn’t enough, so I even gave up the food I had hidden up my sleeve…

??????

Fasting.

Giving up snacks?

You did your best, Senior Payyan.

“I salute your efforts.”

Thanks to this, I learned that humans cannot enter the natural world by any means possible. But who am I? [Great Master of Kii] pioneered a new method by brewing it in the most acceptable way…!

I opened my mouth.

“Do you remember, Hiel?”

I spoke to Hiel, who may already be in the process of proving it.

I heard the answer, but Mana Highel would definitely remember it.

The strange path we walked together.

I knew from early on that the {natural} abilities of spirits were a different force from skills or magic. Because I was aware of it, I worked hard to develop it into Gii early on.

And along the way.

“A magic structure.”

I taught ?Magic? to Haiel.

Another obvious story.

Hiel is the alter ego and mirror of me, Granfell.

Even if it started as a nymph, a low-level spirit.

Like I made my overestimation come true.

Hiel would also have achieved the power that lived up to its overestimation.

I continued.

“Open the way.”

Who is our Granfell? He is a person with a temperament that welcomes any proof at any time, and is the embodiment of foolishness who does not just sit by and watch others suffer.

“Lead me on the path of proof.”

At the same time, the Antonine Imperial Palace.

“You can call my name, Hiel.”

Sssss.

A mysterious magical power stirs in my private room.

It wasn’t normal magical power.

It was the strange magical power of Hiel, imbued with {nature}.

Soon, a portal created by Hiel appears in the air.

There was no hesitation.

I immediately stepped beyond the portal.

[You have entered the ‘Fire Territory’ of the natural world.]

[You have acquired the achievement ‘A place where even romance cannot reach’.]

[?Caution: The field is currently hostile to you.]

…This message is bloody from the beginning?

*

Spirit King of Flame.

Phoenix.

he boasted.

“I’m sorry, spirit.”

It was absolutely sincere.

“Your martyrdom will end here.”

The moment when all the spirit kings except Dryad, the spirit king of the forest, doubted Hyel’s qualities. The object of the doubt himself referred to the proof. It was a great opportunity.

“This is truly ridiculous.”

government ordinance.

Because it exists in all nature.

He is more fluent in the news of the Arcana Continent than anyone else.

The same goes for the story being told at this moment.

The whereabouts of one of the greatest wise men on the Arcana Continent, or the end of Oried’s favorite wizard… The spirits liked to talk about useless things.

Thanks to that, I was familiar with Phoenix.

-“He is a fire dragon and a flame emperor. “What a ridiculous reputation.”

Also about people who claim to have grandiose nicknames for themselves, who are the flame itself. Every time he heard such a story, Phoenix’s emotions burned fiercely.

however.

-“Be thankful that the shackles of purity saved you.”

Phoenix could not go to the Arcana continent.

This was because the order of the natural world did not tolerate the Spirit King’s actions.

But things have changed.

“If you break, that will be proof.”

A spirit blessed by its mother cannot overcome trials? That would be proof that Mother and the new world trees are imperfect and a reasonable reason to throw away innocence.

A spirit king who controls nature itself.

Field regards Hiel as an enemy and begins to attack him.

It was not a simple change.

Territory of Flame.

All elements in the field emit intense heat to Hiel.

Grumbling.

To withstand nature’s hostility.

It appears that it was not a lie that he received his mother’s blessing.

But it is meaningless.

Phoenix sweeps up his red hair.

“The king’s name is not light.”

Hiel, your proof ends here.

Keekeeeeek.

Phoenix, who was mimicking a human, begins to reveal his true self. The highest peak of the volcano. The human body burns, and huge wings of flame unfold beneath the skin.

Grumbling.

At the same time, the flames of the field surged up as if to worship the king.

However, at the same moment, what was heard in Hiel’s ears was.

It wasn’t Phoenix’s cry.

-“You can call my name, Hiel.”

All that can be heard is the master’s voice.

“How can you command me to call on my master’s name?…”

Hiel considered this to be an ordeal that he had to endure.

But did the Lord prepare even this?

Memories flash through Hiel’s mind.

-“Magic consists of exploratory interference manifestation.”

-“It’s not bad for a magic that appears for the first time.”

-“Let’s follow the example of The End Highel.”

Soon, Hiel’s lips moved.

“I dare to cry out your name.”

and.

“My monarch Lee Ho-yeol.”

A group of lights flickered in the air.

“Granfell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.”

This time there was a sound again.

Again.

Phoenix was shocked.

“…!”

It was subtly different from the sound I heard in front of the spirit bonfire.

It was a sound that chilled my stomach even more.

How could you not know since you are so familiar with the rumors you hear?

Phoenix’s beak moves.

“That silver hair is truly Cloudy.”

It was nothing short of the highest compliment the Flame Spirit King could give to humans. It was like a sign of affection and a greeting to someone who entered the natural world as a human being.

however.

“excellent.”

“My lord.”

“You haven’t forgotten what I taught you, Hiel.”

The person who received such praise was lightly ignoring his own words.

then.

Any further favors would be meaningless.

fluttering.

The Phoenix spread its wings and rose into the sky.

Then, the wings of the burning prominence.

A heat that would not be strange even if it set the world on fire radiated out.

But even at that moment, Hoyeol’s gaze was not directed at Phoenix.

“But it’s still not enough. The flow inside the portal was unstable. Immaturity was evident during the intervention. So that we can move forward further.”

Such an attitude further fueled Phoenix’s warlike personality. I knew that that confidence, like Hiel, came from the blessings of the World Tree.

However.

“Don’t be cocky, human.”

If the blessing of the World Tree were truly omnipotent and omnipotent.

mother.

It would not have been impossible for you to rot and crumble.

Grumbling.

As Phoenix increased its firepower even more, even the field began to melt. Even the flame territory melted and became lava, and even the lava melted and condensed into pure heat energy.

A power that only the Spirit King can control. The {Wrath of Flame} that became one with nature and burned the enemy was manifested. Only then did Hoyeol’s eyes turn to Phoenix.

Goooooh.

A body trembling with heat.

It was magical power.

Are you belatedly trying to stop my wrath?

But it was too late.

This one claims to be the Fire Dragon or Flame Emperor that you faced.

It can’t even be compared to the heat of humans.

It is a blow from the flame itself.

“!”

But at that moment, Phoenix felt it.

That something was wrong.

Yes.

His own body rushing towards Cloudy and Highel.

It just stopped in midair.

No, to be precise….

‘It didn’t stop.’

The passage of time has become extremely slow.

The proof was in Cloudy’s similarly delayed actions.

Phoenix let out a fiery scream.

“You’re using a useless trick, Cloudy. This is a trial given by the King of Spirits. “You can’t detect it with cunning.”

Yes.

Unless you can overcome your own wrath.

The proof of flame never ends.

“What can you do by holding on to the flow of time? Look, hasn’t your thinking slowed down as well?”

However, Hoyeol calmly opened his mouth.

As expected, it wasn’t something I was saying to Phoenix.

This time, the words were addressed to Hiel.

Because it is his own alter ego and mirror.

To Hiel, who looks exactly like me.

“I will give you assignments from now on, Hiel.”

Hiel answers.

“I will definitely do it.”

Ho-yeol says it as if it were obvious.

“From now on, observe and understand.”

Phoenix is shocked.

‘…Observe and be aware?’

I am convinced of that.

“It is time to realize the wrath of the World Tree, which will scold even nature.”

“…?!!”
