The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 498

Episode 498 Noble Ones (3)

Western Demon World.

The Demon King of the Ninth Throne.

Paimon’s domain.

A fortress of enormous scale that goes beyond grandeur.

Paimon walked through the halls of the castle.

From Paimon, who is thinking deeply about something.

A sense of intimidation that was heavier than that of a fortress flowed out.

Other idiots probably don’t even think about it.

“Baal, you would consider all this useless.”

To those who sat on the Tenth Place, worldly wealth and glory were meaningless.

While walking down the hallway.

Works of art that pass by Paimon’s field of vision.

From pictures engraved with gold embroidery.

A doll decorated with rare materials.

Even pieces made from whole gems.

Each work of art had an aesthetic that could stir one’s emotions just by looking at them, but Paimon’s emotions as he looked at them were dull.

Have you become accustomed to the emotion that works of art give you?

No, it would be more correct to say that you cannot feel it.

Because I am looking at it from the distant and high throne.

The same goes for the vast western region of the Demon World, and the loyalty of the demons who follow him is no different from a work of art. Paimon was accurately aware of his thirst.

Nevertheless, unlike Baal and the other ten thrones.

The reason Paimon held on to worldly power was simple.

It was his responsibility as a monarch.

“Maybe you have the same reason as me.”

The world of adventurers and the Arcana continent.

Two worlds in which not even a speck of regret will remain for you.

What I desperately protect.

“Maybe that’s why I feel favored towards you.”

Googungung.

Eventually, Paimon stopped in front of the huge door and the door opened on its own.

From floor to wall.

A magic circle of a strange shape even engraved on the ceiling.

It was a curse that could be said to be the devil’s magic.

“So you can’t overlook it.”

Paimon stared at the lump of flesh in the center.

A human corpse that cannot exist in the demon world.

It was Yong Seong-rak’s body stolen from Antonium.

“If you are the person I have seen, you would feel responsible for even an insignificant corpse. In that sense… I may be acting extremely foolishly.”

The purpose of the densely engraved curse was the creation of an incarnation.

Incarnate body.

It was the ten thrones that took tens of thousands of lives just by calling out the true name. Paimon did not overlook the fact that if such a ten-seat moved its main body, it could destroy a world contrary to its intention.

“I have no intention of running wild like a stupid horse.”

Paimon sneered at Gamigin, who had fallen into hell, and infused magical power into his incarnation. Then Yong Seong-rak’s rotting body began to come back to life.

“This is truly foolish behavior, Paimon.”

To add a little bit of exaggeration, it has lived for eternity. Moreover, even if it wasn’t because of your promise to me, you would definitely have stepped into the demon world to find this body.

“This is what it felt like to be anxious.”

The moment I face Ho-yeol.

Paimon’s clock, which had stopped, started to tick.

More than the eons of time I have lived.

The present moment began to feel longer.

“I guess it’s because my second hand finally started moving.”

I could guess the reason myself.

“Because we are looking at the same place.”

Because I was anxiously waiting.

A being equal to me.

Ten seats?

As I have said many times, Baal was far away.

The rest were just trash.

Dudeuk.

Yongseongrak soon begins to move, making a bone noise.

No, the incarnation of Paimon.

When Paimon opens his mouth, the incarnation also moves its mouth.

“I know you will disapprove of this behavior.”

however.

“I guess I’m craving that too.”

There was a clear madness in Paimon’s eyes.

“Even your murderous intent that will be directed at me.”

But there was nothing to worry about.

The moment you step into the demon world.

Because all obstacles between us will disappear.

“The moment when even the last obstacle, ‘a ray of light,’ disappears.”

Meaningful words follow.

“We will be able to fully understand each other.”

*

Whistle.

“proposal! “I missed you~”

“We met yesterday too.”

“It means I miss you every day, even if I see you every day.”

Floating garden.

Master wizard Jesse Heinness.

Camilla sat next to Jesse and rolled her eyes.

“Thanks to Jessie, we get to see the floating garden~ What’s delicious here? Latte? cake? Do you also sell fresh fruit juice? Maybe it’s because I’m getting older these days~ I feel like I’m lacking in vitamins…”

“Green tea.”

“…huh? what? What car?”

Jesse answered firmly.

“Just drink green tea.”

Two teacups on the table.

The thing that is shamelessly draped.

As expected, green tea tea bags.

Camilla grumbled.

“If you become a senior, can you add a menu like this?”

“Camilla I have something to tell you.”

“huh? “It’s not because I’m complaining, it’s because I’m excited and excited!”

Doridori.

“It’s not like that.”

The cone hat shakes its head. Camilla sighed in relief but tilted her head. I thought it was just my mood, but is there a reason for the conical hat worn so deeply today?

Just as Camilla was about to ask again, Jesse continued speaking.

“Will I be able to return to The Shining again?”

…Am I dreaming?

Camilla was confident that she knew Jesse’s personality better than anyone else.

But coming back.

I couldn’t even imagine that Jesse would say something like that.

That’s right.

“comeback?! Jessie, even when you were in Shining, you did whatever you wanted, right? Of course, I was free to leave whenever I wanted. In the first place, you don’t have the personality to be tied down somewhere…”

“So you’re saying it can’t be done?”

“No, absolutely not!”

Camilla quickly held up her hand.

“I absolutely agree!”

I can’t even ask for opinions anymore.

Dmitry I’m sure you agree too, right?

and.

‘…Rox, you too.’

I encountered guild masters with branches in Seoul, including the large alliance, at the Magic Tower. Honestly, I was surprised. Competitive quests also occurred to Camilla, an executive in Shining.

‘Everyone is saying they are sincere. To the Allied Crusade.’

Camilla smiled at Jesse, who still didn’t show his face.

‘Well, how can I not follow him when he shows me that way?’

Lee Ho-yeol.

Because this declaration of resurrection revealed that he was a noble hero who could not be faulted by anyone in reality or the Arcana Continent. Camilla slightly shook her head.

‘No matter what, I can’t do that.’

That death is not a fear that can be overcome.

Because I realized it indirectly through Dmitry’s death.

Camilla clenched her fists to control her shaking hands.

‘But what can we do, Jesse?’

Shining’s recent actions were heartbreaking just looking back on them, but Camilla looked back on the memories nonetheless. And then I looked at Jesse.

‘You don’t show your face until the end?’

You boldly asked for anything.

Not even able to make eye contact.

I guess you’re hiding something from me.

‘You’ve grown a lot, but it’s not for me yet.’

No matter how you think about it.

Because there was no reason for Jesse to return to The Shining.

But Camilla shrugged.

“Well, Rox will definitely agree.”

“…really?”

“If Rox had been the kind of man who would leave behind such a mess, would he have chosen us, who ran wild as we please, to be Shining executives in the first place? So there’s nothing to worry about.”

“I see.”

Jesse bit his lower lip at Camilla’s consistent attitude.

The cone hat comforted Jesse.

-The original wizard is a liar, Jessie. Expression of exploratory interference. Isn’t the magic process a complete lie in the first place? Because it was just a plausible addition.

Of course, it wasn’t any consolation.

I didn’t want to fool Camilla.

But I couldn’t bear to say it.

Jessie responded to the cone hat.

‘…I can’t say I’m going to keep an eye on Rox.’

Jesse Heinness.

In addition to magical achievements comparable to those of a skilled wizard, the magic of twilight was realized through the education of Mary of the magic clan. Even the qualities of [Grand Wizard] that he achieved as a selected player.

Jesse’s eyes and ears, having entered the realm of strangeness early on, were sensitive.

Thanks to you, it was visible.

Rox: What kind of temptations are reaching out to him?

-“The future of the United States depends on you, Rox.”

-“It’s necessary for world order!”

-“All humans change. “Is Lee Ho-yeol an exception?”

-“Do you think Dmitry would want you weakling?”

The cone hat comforted the disciple.

-Have we not already given you enough opportunities?

The voice wasn’t exactly friendly.

-Rox I promised myself that if that man showed up at the Magic Tower, I would neither return to Shining nor monitor him. So consider it all the responsibility of the man who did not show his face in the magic tower.

For the first time in a while, Gokalmoja showed an attitude worthy of a former pagoda owner.

-In the end, he failed to prove his pride.

Camilla asked Jesse, who kept his mouth shut.

“So when are you coming back to the guild house, Jesse?”

“Right now.”

“really? Great! “I left it in your private room!”

Sweet.

It’s a waste.

Camilla did not ignore Jesse’s favor, which she rarely received.

This means that I kept drinking green tea even though it didn’t suit my taste.

“Use it.”

Jesse said as Camilla put down her teacup.

“Then shall we go back?”

The two got up from the floating garden and went down the stairs of the magic tower.

The reason for not manifesting the portal was simple.

It was because I wanted to check the atmosphere.

Camilla clung to Jesse, wrapping her arms around him.

“So who will be the lord of Seoul? I don’t know who it will be, but doesn’t your head hurt just thinking about it? “I don’t think there are one or two things to worry about~”

“First of all, no Camilla.”

“me? Why can’t I?”

“It’s so muddy.”

“It’s too much~”

Camilla felt that the daily routine she had lost for a while had returned.

Of course, that daily life didn’t last long.

Camilla’s eyebrows finally twitched.

“Hold on a minute Jessie.”

I desperately tried to look away because I didn’t want to interrupt our first meeting, but the vibration didn’t seem to stop. When I checked, it turned out to be an executive from Shining.

“Why are you calling me so badly?”

This was before the answer came.

“…!”

Only then did it appear in Camilla’s field of vision.

It’s so confusing that I don’t know where.

The players look sharp.

Their sharp gaze.

Jerk.

Everyone focuses on their own popularity.

An urgent voice rings in my ear.

Camilla uncrosses her arms around Jesse.

-“Camilla, Rox Guild Master…!!”

Pop.

Camilla ended the call.

Jessie asked.

Jessie, I’m finally showing you the face I’ve been longing to see.

“what’s the matter?”

But this time Camilla hid her true feelings.

“I’m sorry, Jesse.”

“What?”

“I don’t think it will work.”

“…what?”

“Your return to Shining.”

Camilla clenched her fists so hard that they dug into her skin.

“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t forgive a traitor.”

*

Udangtang.

“Then please excuse me…”

Leonie is a berserker who is far from magic.

The only place Leonie was familiar with in the Magic Tower was.

A place to change clothes.

There was only a separate room for the healing school.

“Come again next time!”

Does asking me to come again mean dying half-way again?

‘Probably not.’

Leonie responded with a crooked smile.

“Oh yes. “I am indebted to you.”

Leonie properly put on her skimpy combat uniform as she received an innocent send-off from Klee. Yeah, I didn’t even expect it to begin with. You must have seen these players do this once or twice.

“…Shining.”

I thought there wouldn’t be much movement since Camilla visited the Magic Tower. Who would have thought that Rox would have single-handedly taken over the Bohemian Guild House on the street next door.

“So Camilla set up a smoke screen…?”

…At least Camilla is not that type of person.

“Fuck then, is Rox that kind of person?”

Leonie has complicated hair.

It was a moment of calming down by pulling out my hair.

A familiar head was seen on the stairs of the Magic Tower.

“?”

To be precise, it looked like a cone hat.

“…Jesse Heinness?”

What are you doing here….

“!”

Leonie walked up to Jesse and swallowed her words.

It’s different from usual, which is extremely dull.

The agitation was reflected from Jesse’s face.

Of course, the berserker had no delicate feelings.

“Don’t you believe it?”

“…?”

“If you don’t believe it, you can see it with your own eyes.”

“…!”

“Open the portal. I also have some things to check.”

Leonie gritted her teeth.

“Camilla, how much do you know?”
