The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 491

Episode 491 Foundation (7)

World Tree.

The mother of all things on the Arcana Continent.

He used Hiel’s mouth to convey his intentions.

If I recall that memory….

‘It was very unfamiliar.’

A different look and tone than usual.

It was only for a moment, but it was enough to say that the world tree dwelled in Hiel’s body and mind. In that sense, I could guess why Granfell expressed so much regret.

“It means I won’t allow it.”

Even if you say the same thing without giving permission to anyone else… As

you already know, our Grandfell is the kind of person who would be swayed by others? This means that even if it is the mother world tree of the Arcana Continent, it is no exception.

‘…I received something and I’m sorry.’

As the youngest member of the World Tree family tree, I apologized.

Of course, I couldn’t say it out loud.

Even though it is just the voice of the heart, the sincerity still communicates. If she were the mother of all things, wouldn’t she be able to understand my emotions hidden beneath my iron-faced skin…?

‘…Have ridiculous expectations, Hoyeol.’

It was the moment I was thinking about.

-That is indeed the case. I will respect your wishes.

The voice of the World Tree answered.

I was able to intuit it because I was the person involved.

This does not mean that I will respect Granfell’s blatant refusal.

The World Tree accepted the apology I delivered.

‘…I guess I answered my thoughts for a moment.’

Maybe you know something about the World Tree? Where did the history of the Cloudy family begin, and what kind of dark history did I, Ho-yeol Lee, come into contact with Granfell…!

‘No, you don’t need to know that…!’

It was when my cheeks suddenly became hot.

Okay.

My fingers caught a fluttering leaf.

In the silence where time seems to have stopped.

How do I appear in the eyes of others?

Maybe it looks like I summoned the World Tree.

Then, of course, the wizards of the Magic Tower and Baek Yi-seol.

‘Because it’s real, it might be being broadcast somewhere.’

In a situation where the whole world might be watching.

I moved my hands calmly.

He moved his lips.

“This is not your arrangement.”

…It’s not over yet, that bastard’s tail!

“Because it is our struggle.”

It is not a matter of arranging the world tree, but a struggle.

Who is Granfell?

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the master of making condescending remarks.

It was clear that Granfell was being subtly condescending this time too.

however.

“Oried’s change of heart, Yugweed’s actions, the wounds of those who fought on the Arcana continent earlier than reality, and the sacrifices of those who closed their eyes from reality at this moment.”

This time, I have to join in on the condescension.

‘The World Tree is your arrangement?’

Look what happened because of that damn arrangement.

Look at what Oried, the alienated spirit, has done.

If I approve of your arrangement of the World Tree.

I am no different from affirming Rayman Shen.

‘Because honestly, I don’t see much difference in the method.’

I squeezed the leaf hard.

“Yes. “It all comes from our choices.”

As I said a little while ago, our Grandfell absolutely hates being manipulated by someone. Beyond refusing to convey the words of the World Tree, they were denying the arrangement of the World Tree itself.

In that sense, I am purely worried.

‘Maybe this happens.’

Isn’t [the Blessing of the First World Tree] being taken back for a shameful crime?

If the effects of the buff were known to the world.

I might be criticized.

He criticized me for not being able to use such a fraudulent buff so much.

To that extent, the effect of [Blessing of the First World Tree] is deceptive.

So it meant that I had no choice but to feel regretful.

However, Soinbae Lee Ho-yeol and World Tree had different bowl sizes.

Despite Granfell’s upright words.

The World Tree still answered in a gentle voice.

-I will also respect such thoughts.

It wasn’t just words.

Light begins to pour out from Granfell’s grip on the leaf.

The vision blinks accordingly.

[Stat ‘???’ has been unlocked.]

It was clearly stated as unknown.

I could intuit it.

It is a {natural} ability.

[Skill] Because it is an unknown power that is different from ?Magic?.

A third force that even the system cannot express.

‘As if quests related to the Demon World are a question mark.’

Is it because he knows that fact? Even after rejecting the first World Tree, I was able to handle the awakened [Blessing of the First World Tree]. To be exact, it’s the power contained in just one leaf…

Suoooo.

If I add my magical power of a different level, the story will be different.

It is said that the Golem, so gigantic that the end of the fused intelligence body cannot be seen, is a miracle itself that combines Oried’s {natural} ability and Yugweed’s ?Magic?. I told you, right?

‘It’s a different level.’

A strange force rising from me.

“This can’t be right.”

Only then did I have time to look back.

The gaze of the Banshee, who alone blocked the fusion intelligence, turned towards me.

Eyes that seem somewhat touched.

“Chief Lee! Could it be that there are three world trees behind it…?!”

I nodded my head to him once.

“also…!!”

I did not answer such an unusual question, Senior Benshee William. The fact that I nodded was some kind of signal. This is a signal to teleport right away if you don’t want to get caught up.

Did you understand its meaning?

Bangrit.

He shouted at the Banshee.

“Senior Benshi, avoid immediately!!”

It was thanks to the loud voice. The Banshee immediately teleported away from the fused intelligence. Soon, a loud noise echoed in the middle of downtown Seoul.

Kukukwakwaukkwaang?

Clash of strangeness.

Me and the fusion intelligence.

The aftermath of a power struggle without giving even an inch.

Soon, magic particles began to shine through the storm.

A panicked voice was heard.

“Demon Tower…?”

It’s really not that easy to keep talking.

This is probably the first time in Arcana history.

The top floor of the Magic Tower flew away without a trace.

*

The top floor of the Magic Tower.

All the karma caused by the Magic Tower did not originate from the Crystal Hall, nor the Topaz Hall, nor the Emerald Hall, nor the Garnet Hall where the vicious magic tools were stored.

-Fucking place.

The culprit was the top class, which fostered a sense of superiority that was not helpful in pursuing the truth. Yugweed openly expressed the self-loathing she had suppressed now that she was unconscious.

“You poor Yugweed.”

The Spirit King of the Earth.

Oried.

In her grasp.

Yugweed and Oried.

A space of consciousness where only two exist.

The initiative of the ceremony belonged to Oried.

Yugweed sitting on a chair.

Eventually, Oried came towards her and stroked her hair. A head size that fits comfortably in both hands. The sensation felt at the fingertips tells the state of Yugweed.

“You are still just a child, Yugweed.”

Yugweed in the ritual looked like a child around five or six years old.

Oried her head.

He softly caressed my hair and whispered.

“What else made you lonely, Yugweed? You can tell me everything. There is no need to doubt me. “Didn’t you find the magic tower that disappeared on the Arcana Continent so that you could destroy it with your own hands?”

I would have thought he would have been holding on to consciousness even in this state.

Indeed, he was not given the position of senior wizard for nothing.

Nevertheless, Oried smiled.

“But remember, your time is coming soon. When all the play is over, it’s time for you to get off the chair and take a nap. “A sweet sleep that I will never wake up from.”

Because it was only a matter of time.

Even if Yugweed’s consciousness returned, it didn’t matter anymore.

If you see what your subconscious has done, if you realize that you attacked the magic tower with your own hands, then you, a weak girl, will give up everything.

Sigh.

Oried whispered again.

“Because you are an innocent child.”

So what is Yugweed’s last regret?

Oried could guess.

You must be looking for ‘them’.

“Let me look and I can see it over there.”

Shadow mercenaries.

“Because disbanding doesn’t make that ugly smell go away.”

Arcana Continent.

Shadow mercenary members began an offensive towards the body of the fused intelligence.

Yugweed’s subconscious also recognized the existence of the shadow mercenaries.

I flinch.

Oried’s eyes brightened at her reaction.

“Do you want to make them pay for their sins?”

At the same time, the Arcana Continent’s Fusion Intelligence raid, which was thought to have ended, resumed. That’s right, to put it in Arcana Continent electric terms, it’s the beginning of the hidden Hidden Phase.

Kukugugugung.

The body became lighter because the upper body was torn apart.

The situation that everyone was worried about happens.

The fusion intelligence slowly stands up.

The huge body is raised upright.

Of course, that’s where the first footsteps are headed.

“You can trample on it as much as you want.”

It was a place where former shadow mercenary members gathered.

A natural disaster that cannot be prevented or avoided.

However, the feet of the fusion intelligence did not trample on them.

Arcana Continent and Reality.

It was visible because I was watching two completely different worlds at the same time. A ‘reversal’ of the situation. To put it in simple terms, it is a scene where a collapsed magic tower is being rebuilt through ‘reversal magic’.

…I flinch.

The top floor of the Magic Tower has been restored to its original state.

My actions became meaningless.

Yugweed’s unconsciousness took a hit.

Pop.

Oried’s hand that was stroking her head also stopped.

“You truly are a strange being, Cloudy.”

I didn’t think about it because I wanted to focus on the initiative of consciousness.

I couldn’t find the answer without struggling.

Oried’s brow was furrowed.

“How is it that you, who died on the Arcana Continent, are still breathing safely in that world? Do you still have the power of resurrection left in you? Why only you…!”

But there was no need to get excited.

“No, it’s okay.”

Because that was all.

In reality, he cannot exert influence on the Arcana Continent. Even if we were able to fully control the power of the World Tree at this moment, the story would not change.

“You can’t stop us.”

Yugweed.

The moment when this poor girl crushes and destroys the last obstacle, the shadow mercenary group. Her consciousness will completely collapse, and control of the fused intelligence will return entirely to her.

After that…

“I finally…!”

It was a moment when Oried was chanting with joy.

There was a voice that penetrated my consciousness.

It was Cloudy Hoyeol’s voice.

“You can thank me, Yugweed.”

…Suddenly it’s okay to be thankful?

A random remark.

Oried listened without realizing it.

“If it were not for my anti-war magic, you would have been referred to the Round Table according to the Magic Tower’s strict rules and imprisoned in the Magic Tower’s underground infinity for eternity.”

In this situation, are you talking about the strict rules of the magic tower? I didn’t understand. Oried secretly covered Yugweed’s ears with both hands.

And whispered softly.

“Wouldn’t it be better to focus on the Arcana bugs?”

But the words continued regardless.

“However, reversal does not occur only through magic. That’s right, Yugweed, a former senior wizard. Everything can be reversed. “Humans are no exception.”

Are humans no exception?

‘No way, you’re talking about a shadow mercenary group…’

Those words made me take a closer look.

Then it appeared.

What are they doing when their lives depend on it?

“!”

Shadow mercenaries were rescuing the people of the empire.

In the shadow of death cast over their heads.

Without heeding anything.

thud.

It was then.

The fused intelligence stumbled greatly.

Oried covered Yugweed’s ears even harder and whispered wickedly.

“No, humans don’t change. In particular, the weight of the sins committed by humans does not change. This means that not only the punishment for the sins accumulated by the shadow mercenaries, but also the punishment for the sins you accumulated at this moment can never disappear…!”

However, as expected, comments denying him continue.

“Your actions are the same, Yugweed.”

“shut up!!!”

Oried shouted emotionally without realizing it.

But with that emotional action.

Oried lost control of the ceremony.

And at that moment, the situation took a “reversal.”

“Even if everything is reversed, one thing cannot be undone.”

Before I knew it, my hair had turned white.

Skin that naturally retains its age.

Nevertheless, a glimpse of the girl’s face remains.

“how…?”

Yugweed added slyly to Orried, who was astonished.

“Can’t we turn around how much time has passed, Chief Lee?”

*

Hopeless situation.

Players’ vision blinks.

As if I wasn’t hallucinating.

[Yugweed, a fusion intelligence, destroys itself.]

“With resurrection, monsters in the World Tree are now destroying themselves…?!”

reality.

Arcana Continent.

It was the moment when the final phase that would shake both worlds began.
