The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 484

Episode 484. If you want,

you can learn something by seeing it just once?

A small forest spirit.

Hiel had no such talent.

however.

“I will follow what you say.”

‘If you wish.’

Hiel’s pupils sink. Thanks to the lord’s warm consideration, the wrath of Phoenix, the Spirit King of Flame, is slowly visible. Beyond the heat, the heat that can be mistaken for pain also becomes clearer.

Shamefully.

‘If I had been alone, I might have given up.’

Just before the first trial.

The declaration made at the bonfire was quickly forgotten.

His resolve may have been broken.

But my lord must have seen through it.

‘My weakness that no one knows about.’

Hiel knew.

That your true self is worth less than the evaluations or expectations placed on you. But don’t let your master know you. I desperately flapped my floppy wings so as not to betray my lord’s expectations.

‘That’s why I’ve been thinking about it.’

I have been watching my lord’s movements from the closest place. It was truly a series of unbelievable footsteps. To the point where you start to wonder if you, who only seem like you on the outside, can walk together.

Furthermore.

‘I wonder if my existence will be a hindrance to my lord….’

The blessing of the first world tree.

Why were the elves so angry about the blessing?

That was because the lord and himself monopolized the blessings of the World Tree.

So Hiel had no choice but to fall into doubt.

What if even the blessings that belong to me belong to my lord…?

My lord, I wonder if he can easily overcome the trials he will have to go through in the future, or perhaps he already possesses such abilities, but is held back by my presence… It was a moment when the arduous ordeal devastated Hiel’s spirit

. .

A voice was heard.

It made me shake off my foolish thoughts.

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

Hiel understood the intention.

‘I guess my lord gave me a chance.’

Maybe this is another proof.

‘A place to prove my usefulness.’

Is this also an effect of blessing?

He doesn’t know that he was a forest spirit in the lower level in the past.

Knowledge of the {natural world} begins to penetrate your mind.

The wrath of nature.

The strongest blow in {the natural world} that overwhelms the enemy by becoming one with nature that only the kings of spirits can manifest. Hiel felt the wrath of the Phoenix with his whole body.

It’s not just burning.

Even nature.

Howling in the intense heat of Phoenix.

Hiel’s lips open.

“The target where the anger should be directed is wrong.”

Phoenix was shocked.

‘…different.’

Hasn’t that presence somehow changed?

In fear.

The weak appearance of not even being able to resist was everywhere.

Okay.

It was no mistake to see him reaching out and touching the raging flames. But for some reason, the touch was gentle. Moreover, her voice.

“Aren’t the children suffering, Phoenix?”

“…!”

Just like my mother.

If the World Tree had spoken to itself, wouldn’t it have been this voice?

The voice was so gentle that it was misleading.

Phoenix’s gaze shifted from Hiel to Hoyeol.

“What nonsense.”

Even the flow of time was controlled.

It wouldn’t be difficult to blur one’s senses.

It’s clearly an intention to cloud my judgment.

Grumbling.

However, if you completely burn away the magic particles that form the basis of such magic, the effect will disappear. It was the moment when Phoenix burned his fear even more fiercely.

Suoooo.

Enough to swallow up the heat.

So much so that it could be burned without a trace.

It was the moment when a strong flame was about to rage.

“You’re really not listening.”

A voice that was no longer gentle continued.

“What’s for the spirits?”

I knew it instinctively.

This was an admonition.

A blurry figure can be seen behind Hiel.

It’s a huge tree.

“…mother?”

Yes.

Cloudy As he said.

The wrath of the World Tree, surpassing even nature, was being realized.

But Phoenix did not give in.

“No, what is my mother? We are clearly different from the dragon elves of the Arcana continent. “All we could do was hide in the natural world and watch the continent.”

It was because it was unfair to keep it like this.

“But what is returned to us who obeyed?”

The Flame Spirit King returned to his innocence and asked.

“There was nothing!”

World Bestower, why have you treated us with indifference?

Are we truly your children?

He was whining like an innocent child.

“There was only utter indifference.”

however.

The World Tree was the mother of all things who accepted even such complaints.

The shape of the World Tree floating behind Hiel shines even more brilliantly.

The leaves are falling.

The World Tree conveys its meaning through the mouth of Hiel.

“It wasn’t indifference.”

“…It’s a lie.”

“I was just waiting for the right time for you to be used on the continent.”

“…When will we be used on the continent?”

“The time has finally come when the continent needs your purity.”

Permission is given.

“You may move on now, my children.”

At that moment, Phoenix’s vision blinked.

“…how?”

It was visible in brilliant light.

Not in the natural world.

The scenery of the Arcana continent that I had longed for so much.

*

Blinking vision.

[The ‘Age of Purity’ arrives on the Arcana Continent.]

[The natural world – the territory of flames appears.]

[From now on, natural flame elemental spirits will appear on the Arcana Continent. The pure actions of fire-attribute spirits bring about a flame of revival on the Arcana Continent.]

Always the attitude.

Straight neck and back as always.

As a result, I was just rolling my eyes.

‘Hiel…. That’s you, right?’

oh my god.

What did I just see?

First, let’s calm down our shocked hearts.

“Is this the scenery of the continent…!”

Buldak….

No, Phoenix.

Even if that wasn’t the case, I’m still upset.

Shed tears of joy later.

First of all, why did I answer Hiel’s call?

It was a natural decision. The total amount is set in [Blessing of the First World Tree]. What was the reason why I was able to enjoy the fraudulent blessing effect of the first world tree?

‘A level of favoritism that would put an elf at shame.’

This was because Hyel and I monopolized the blessings of the World Tree, which were shared by hundreds of elves. So, I had to be there to prove the blessings of the World Tree.

‘Because Hiel alone might not be enough.’

At first, I thought it was a good decision.

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

A field that is hostile to the player. A scene that even AAU was shocked was unfolding before their eyes. To use a metaphor, it would be correct to say that one was trapped in an extremely malicious dungeon or labyrinth.

In short, everything I stepped on, saw, and felt was hostile to Hiel. Indeed, it could be said to be the power of a spirit called nature itself.

‘So I thought about it.’

An eye for an eye.

I had no choice but to lack knowledge about the {natural} abilities of the spirits.

A task that was not a task was given to Hyel, a spirit like Phoenix.

‘But this is not beyond expectations…’

Isn’t this growth so rapid that it feels unfamiliar?

So, to compare it.

This wasn’t enough to tear down the wall.

It was almost as if a butterfly had awakened from a chrysalis!

‘And that too by piercing a chrysalis of enormous thickness.’

Why is it that Hyel was treated more noble than the Spirit King thanks to being someone’s mirror and alter ego? However, through the current proof, Hiel seemed to have escaped even such treatment.

The evidence unfolds before your eyes.

“…this.”

The Spirit King of Flame has suddenly returned to human form.

Phoenix gathers himself.

Then he turns to Hiel.

“Phoenix, the Spirit King of Flame, asks for your forgiveness.”

Get down on one knee and bow your head.

It wasn’t just Phoenix.

According to the system message, which does not lie.

‘Isn’t that something that only my eyes can see…?’

Countless lower, middle, and upper level spirits.

All the flame spirits under the Flame Spirit King Phoenix.

He was bowing his head in front of Hiel.

‘As expected, you’re better than me. Hiel.’

So, {Wrath of the World Tree} is real?

No way.

Everything was spewed out by my mouth, which did not want to say a word. However, even if it did not exist, it was Hiel that resolved the situation as if it were worth it.

‘If I do this, only I can escape from the chrysalis.’

Of course, my chrysalis is covered with iron skin, so it will be much harder than Hiel’s. It felt like there was still a long way to go before I could escape on my own, but…

‘Anyway, I’m glad.’

The proof is a mess, but you avoided a situation where you almost burned to death.

It was the moment I breathed a sigh of relief.

Hiel gave an answer to Phoenix who asked for forgiveness.

“It’s not me you need to ask for forgiveness.”

…But what is this ominous premonition?

Okay.

Hiel’s gaze, full of infinite loyalty, is directed at me.

“I guess I should turn to my lord who gave me his blessing.”

No, you know Hiel, right?

I’m not a bad guy who steals other people’s achievements?!

And Phoenix, with his fiery personality, is very good at understanding me as a human….

“Share the blessing… That was the reason for the imperfection.”

…what?

“Please forgive my insight, Cloudy, for not recognizing the blessings of the World Tree even after witnessing them.”

Hey, don’t you just convince me that it’s plausible?

‘There’s really nothing good about it.’

Lessons learned thanks to experiencing numerous situations like this.

As long as it’s with Granfell’s temperament.

When you get involved with someone, you’re bound to go through a lot of trouble.

further.

‘This is the bean powder family, right?’

Even so, it was a genealogy of world trees full of soybean flour.

Even the evil dragons that swallowed the evil fruit haven’t been solved yet.

If you get involved with spirits…

‘More than anything, I don’t know what will happen to Paimon.’

A way of thinking that is completely unpredictable.

It was Paimon who protected Antonium from Liu Junchun so that my entry into the demon world would not be delayed. For the same reason, it would not be strange to trample on the spirits that appeared on the Arcana continent.

‘So please don’t be nervous.’

It was a moment when I prayed earnestly.

…sparkle.

My vision began to blink again.

[You have succeeded in the quest.]

[You have succeeded in the quest.]

[You have succeeded in the quest.]…

I see.

Everyone was quietly watching our proof process.

It wasn’t just [Hidden Quest: Proof of Flame].

Thanks to witnessing Hiel’s treatment of Phoenix.

Any further proof would be meaningless.

But…

there is one.

This time with a different meaning.

One is empty.

[Hidden Quest: Proof of the Earth]

Oried, the spirit king of the Earth.

Oried wants to prove the blessings of the World Tree.

Overcome the trials of the earth and prove the existence of the World Tree.

-Natural world: Enter the territory of Mother Earth. (Failure)

Oried, the Spirit King of the Earth.

One Spirit King is still Hiel.

So, they were denying the blessings of the World Tree.

I don’t know why, but I didn’t really want to say anything.

‘This wasn’t my purpose in the first place.’

The reason I summoned the Spirit Kings through Highel was simple. The purpose was to find those who had been caught up in the Prototype Crack and their whereabouts were unknown through the spirits who were brighter than anyone else in the news of the Arcana Continent.

So I couldn’t overlook it.

Quest failed.

Below are the newly updated quest objectives.

-Fusion Intelligence: Defeat Yugweed Lufeng. (In progress)

I recited coldly.

“Now it’s time for you to prove it.”

Fusion intelligence.

Yugweed Lupeng.

Why did this quest goal come to mind?

Uncontrollable magical power swirled through my body.

“Convince me without a single question, Oried.”
