The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 560

? Episode 560. If you can’t reach it, (2)

Arcana Continent.

capital of the empire.

Antonium.

“Then I beg you, Lord Nash.”

“Don’t worry, Captain Harkon.”

“If you were worried, you wouldn’t have left in the first place.”

The beginning of the flooding of the Arcana Continent of the Demon World.

Wasn’t this an empire that had to pay the price for dismissing concerns as unfounded?

It was Harkon who vowed to live without regrets from that day on.

So, there was not the slightest concern in his current remarks.

“There are truly great people staying in Antonium.”

Antonium was the last bastion of the Arcana continent.

Excluding a few forces that flooded in from a bad omen, it was no exaggeration to say that everyone on the continent gathered in Antonium. It included some great figures who would make a mark in history.

of course.

‘Are you watching, Your Majesty?’

Among them, the one who gave the most trust was Ho Yeol’s private soldier.

The Diamond Caravan, the Red Eyes Clan, and the Descendants of Twilight, a pure-blooded magic clan that recently settled in Antonium. If we add in the empire that was beginning to regain its former power centered around the Lionheart Knights…

Harkon could have dared to bet.

‘The fallen empire is rising again.’

Even if the Ten Seas were to overtake Antonium, Antonium would not collapse as disastrously as before. The young Majesty, who was growing day by day, could not be overlooked.

“That would also be God’s grace.”

Nash responded to Harkon’s recitation.

Because Nash also experienced that grace.

The editorial was done and the main point was brought out immediately.

“Can we believe that they are an envoy from the Ten Seas?”

Urgent Update Envoy of the Ten Seas.

I heard that a vicious devil is asking for peace first.

Nash clenched his fists.

“Devils are the ones who try to deceive humans until the very end. These are indeed harsh words, but to be honest, I don’t want to believe them at all….”

An empire in decline due to the devil.

In the process, Nash, the imperial palace wizard, received all kinds of terrible news. It means that I have been informed of all the evil deeds of demons that dare not speak out loud.

Harkon’s feelings were no different.

“Isn’t that why I’m leaving, Lord Nash?”

Beyond the portal to the world of adventurers.

Crash.

Harkon checked whether the sword sheath on his waist was securely fastened.

He continued.

His voice was more rational than ever.

“Don’t worry, I will keep an eye on you.”

Ten seats.

Among them, the Demon King Barbatos is the eighth on the throne.

His behavior was different from the demons I had seen so far.

‘It’s more heterogeneous than Paimon.’

Yes.

The only time Paimon appeared in a low-key manner was when he faced Ho-yeol. I guess it’s thanks to the time we spent together. Harkon was able to predict Hoyeol’s actions.

“The Commander-in-Chief is someone who will mix things up with you, even if you are a devil, as long as it is formal. If they were truly sorry for their sins, He could show them mercy. So I may make that mercy even more valuable.”

His eyes shone coldly.

“I plan to become the commander’s whip.”

*

Squishy.

“Who wants to bet?”

Leonie said, chewing gum crookedly.

“A bet? “What bet?”

But it was only Jesse who responded. Even that could not be said to be an active response. I couldn’t bear to chew on the words, so I felt like I gave a rough answer.

“…Thank you very much for answering the question, Jessie.”

“no. you’re welcome.”

“Look how insincere this is until the end.”

Leonie continued speaking with a disapproving expression.

“Barvatos. “Bet that bastard doesn’t show up.”

Nam Taemin and Hisagi still don’t pretend to listen.

Unlike the two muscle lumps, Nam Cheol-min still had affection.

“Let’s see… I’ll bet it’s not!”

“really? “You have no regrets, right?”

“Hmm, wait a minute.”

An analyst who must cool-headedly consider all situations and factors.

In that sense, analysts could not overlook the update details.

??????

A new event is coming to you.

A new event ‘Delegates of the Ten Seas’ will appear.

1. From now on, ‘Barvatos, the Demon King of the Ninth Throne’ will become a neutral force.

2. A delegation from Barbatos wants to visit Seoul, the land of Kii.

3. Barbatos’ delegation wants to sign a peace treaty…

??????

Even after looking at it again, there was no change in judgment.

“Yes, really.”

In fact, I skipped over other update details. Considering the devil’s characteristic of being able to act calmly even to the person he possesses. Because they are a group of people who can do as many things as they want, both externally and internally.

Leonie opened her mouth.

“Then I guess I’ll show up.”

However, the ‘oath’ in the third detail.

That was a word that could not be overlooked.

After Leonie finished betting, Nam Cheol-min spoke.

“Back in the days when Arcana was just a game, if you broke your oath, your reputation would be diminished, but that was possible because it was in the past. “If you think about our level at the time, even if we called it a pledge, it wouldn’t have been much, right?”

Nam Taemin opens his mouth as if asking when he has been silent.

“yes? Well, at that time, if you broke your oath and lost your life, you wouldn’t be able to log in for a day.”

“I was around level 100, so the experience penalty wasn’t that big.”

“Did you?”

“Why are you pretending not to know, Jesse?”

“That’s because I’ve never died before!”

“…never? “You grew up really well, huh?”

So, if you have a bad head, your body suffers?

“Camilla didn’t call me princess for nothing.”

Leonie died countless times while fighting on the firing line, and shed tears at the constant death penalty. It was a time when I was looking at Jesse with envious eyes.

Nam Cheol-min presented the basis for his bet one after another.

“In that sense, the weight of the oath Barbatos made is by no means light. The devil claims to be a neutral force? Because that goes against the devil’s instincts. “If you break your oath….”

“You could lose your life right away?”

“that’s right. “Paimon wasn’t free from the oath either, right?”

Everyone nodded for a moment at Nam Cheol-min’s words.

“Then I bet on the same side as you, Leonie.”

“I’ll bet you don’t show up either, Miss Leonie.”

“Hmm. me too!”

“what? “You weren’t doing it, were you?”

“what? “Now that you’ve come, there’s no need to buy anything, are you?”

You got caught, crazy?!

Leonie huffed, but it seemed it was already too late. The guild members of the large alliance were looking at Leonie, who was sighing, from a step back.

“My sister is such a bully, what should I do?”

“I know. “Why did you ask to make a bet?”

“Who saw your sister win the bet? “For now, I don’t have any.”

“Anyway, the poop tip is still the same, my Gilma.”

Their thoughts were not much different.

Sigh.

I shift my gaze for a moment and look around.

“But… “It’s not something I want to say all of a sudden…”

Downtown Seoul.

A portal to the Arcana Continent.

The Allied Forces of the Crusade gathered in front of him.

“Aren’t we freaking cool?”

Gorgeous and beautiful.

Light pouring from sparkling equipment.

The brilliance seemed to indicate the level of the troops lined up.

“It’s definitely because he joined the Lion Heart Knights.”

“I know. “For no reason, it puts a strain on my shoulders.”

“A place makes a person.”

“Do positions make people? “Then why is my sister like that?”

“…I think it’s like that because it was made.”

“Well, when I think back to the old days when people used to have double lust…”

The conclusion of the chatter that followed?

If Barbatos is preparing to stab you in the back.

That was a huge misjudgment.

The guild members, who were praising themselves, shift their gaze to the city center.

“Let’s see, since all the ordinary citizens have evacuated… Isn’t it okay to run wild from now on? “No matter what happens to Barbatos, we can start an all-out war!”

Someone will ask

Are you not worried about the building collapsing?

If so, I will say it again.

“It’s nice to remember those times.”

Seoul is already a land of strangeness.

It was Seoul overlaid with the colors of Arcana Continent electricity.

This means that the Arcana continent electricity durability system is applied to each building.

That means.

There is no need to worry about the city center collapsing due to a moderate shock.

“Even if you had a different mind, wouldn’t you change your mind if you knew you were waiting like this? “Why are you targeting the Arcana continent instead of Seoul?”

“Arcana Continent? “Isn’t that even crazier?”

“Well, considering the big names in Antonium….”

There was news that the Lion Heart Knights were protecting Antonium with a force that would not be noticeable even if they crossed over to reality. What I trust more than anything is their identity.

“After all, they are the commander’s subordinates, right?”

I would have said he was Hoyeol’s private soldier.

There is no guarantee more reliable than that.

That made me feel even more sorry for Leonie.

Now, it even fills my tongue automatically.

“What happens to you, even if you bet, you bet on the odds?”

What if they hadn’t heard the news that the allied forces of the Crusade had gathered? These were the guys who were watching this situation in real time through their magical eyes floating around the Earth.

Suddenly, Leonie’s angry voice is heard.

“You guys, be prepared if I win? ok?!”

In the end, I couldn’t help but sigh.

“Even the Ten Judas would have their heart broken, but your stubbornness is truly amazing.”

.

Magic Tower.

Chief’s office.

There is a spectacular view beyond the window.

A view of the Allied Crusade forces lined up on the streets of Seoul.

If it were me under normal circumstances, I would be on the front lines shivering. They must have been staring at the portal, flapping their jackets so colorful that the players’ sparkle was insignificant.

If it were normal times.

The reason I am staying in the chief’s office is simple. It was because I didn’t have the confidence to face it. Yes, I am confident that I can have a normal conversation with Barbatos, who claims to be a neutral force.

‘It’s different from not being able to trust Rayman Shen.’

I don’t know if they’re just playing around with the damn update timing.

He wasn’t a guy who played around with update details.

‘Because you don’t have the ability to do that.’

Just as the system cannot lie.

This means that you can’t lie about your update details.

In that sense, Barbatos had two options.

Or not show up.

Either show up and put the updated details into practice.

If it were me a while ago…

I might have thought about using Barbatos instead.

If things went according to the original plan, we would have to enter the demon world soon.

At least to ask for information about the Demon World.

We might have had a conversation at least.

But I learned from experience.

Paimon, the Demon King of the Ninth Throne.

Through conversations with him.

If Granfell is a demon, why can’t it be passed over without killing it?

It means that I realized that feeling.

That’s not all.

I also realized that in order to protect something in the conflict with the pantheon, I needed to be harsh towards something. So, I, Lee Ho-yeol, could no longer be confident.

“I do not talk to my prey.”

Even if Barbatos appears beyond the portal and does not show a hostile attitude. It was said that he had no confidence not to perform the exorcism ritual at all costs.

‘I would rather put someone in danger by believing in the devil.’

Because it was better to hunt and take responsibility.

So, the magic tower was like a kind of fence.

A fence that confines me and no one else.

Maybe that’s why I hoped.

‘Please act like a devil, Barbatos.’

The entire army was gathered for that purpose.

For that purpose, he did not explode the Heavenly Magic Eye.

If you had any foolish thoughts.

Look at the assembled Allied Crusade forces and change your mind.

Please don’t show yourself in front of me.

I was expressing.

however.

‘…!’

This was before the green tea in the tea bag was even fully brewed.

The allied forces of the temple began to move like waves.

At the end of the street, a flash of five-colored light was visible.

Yes, the portal was blinking.

Soon, the vision blinked accordingly.

[The Demon King of the Eighth Throne, ‘Gentle Barbatos’, appears. Barbatos’s influence affects Seoul, the land of strangeness. Your understanding of all fields increases.]

Dalkak.

“Indeed, he even lowers his tail in front of his natural enemy.”

As expected, it was the first time.

Steaming green tea.

I put it down without taking a single sip.

“This is absolutely disgusting, devil.”
