Chapter 139: Arcana (1)

[World quest: Evil Dragon Hunter]

You who hunted a clan of evil dragons.

The legend of the mountain is calling you.

Reach the summit of the Zero Mountain. (In progress)

Being That Should Not Be Awakened.

This world quest started when I got rid of that monster.

I was the only one who knew of its existence. Players who contributed to the disposal also received a quest, but only the regular quest. In short, the grade of the quest was different.

But he called me an evil dragon hunter!

How did Skal find out that alias?

I honestly didnt want to think about it. But the train of thought naturally continued. This was a world quest that could have an impact on the entire Arcana World.

It must be the message.

During the [Seed of the World Tree] quest, a message appeared to all players. Hidden class, dragon knight. The message related to the evil dragon hunter must have appeared only to Skal.

Is it a good thing among the misfortunes?

Yes, thinking about it, lets consider it as a good thing. Of course, it became meaningless from the moment Skal shouted my name in front of the camera.

Even three visits to the cottage wont be enough, Skal.

I walked on, brooding over it.

I headed to the portal.

Like I said, I didnt have time.

However.

Whisper

The sound of reporters talking in the back made me stop in my tracks.

Did he just reject Skals request?

Isnt this going to take a toll on Skals pride?

More than rejecting it, didnt he seem really angry?

Exactly! Its like meeting Skal would be a waste of time!

Mage Towers lobby.

Since the portal was there, that space was open to anyone.

As the co-chief of the Mage Tower, I knew that fact better than anyone else.

Grandfel valued formalities and procedures. This place was not my living room, and I had no intention of saying anything or having a conversation.

But today was different.

It was very annoying.

I stopped walking and turned.

I looked at the crowd.

I hadnt even said anything yet.

Gasp!

Silence came immediately

I opened my mouth amidst the silence.

It was a stern request, not an order.

Also, I would like you to remain quiet inside the Mage Tower for the time being.

Absolute stability was essential for patients.

.

.

.

Marcelo collapsed.

In a separate room at the Magic Towers healing school.

Skilled mages, including Klee, couldnt let down their guard.

What should we do, Klee?

For now, lets calm down. Everyone.

I expected it, but I didnt expect it to be this sudden.

The curse of the Simuards family.

Even if they covered it up, word of mouth spreads quickly.

Moreover, the person who was cursed had no intention of hiding it.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Marcelo breathed heavily on the bed.

Belliere watched Marcelo from next to him.

It was the first time since childhood that she saw his eyes closed.

Youre the same.

Even the way he slept.

He still had the same stupidly honest personality.

The senior mages, including Belliere, received Marcelos will.

The content was as honest as he was. It was a will that did not talk about his life and only thought about the Mage Tower.

Damn it. Although I knew it. Even if its a curse, its still awful.

Benschs voice came from beyond the door of the separate room.

Several senior mages had come to visit Marcelo.

But meeting him was impossible.

Bellieres gaze stared at the air.

To be precise, at the curse symbol floating in the air.

From the moment Marcelo collapsed until now.

The curse pattern was gradually becoming darker.

As if absorbing Marcelos life.

Knock.

Belliere replied to the knock.

You may come in. Senior Matis.

When the door opened, she could see Benschs face through the gap.

His eyes were full of desire to enter, but in the current situation, Benschs fuss wouldnt be of much help.

Hey!!

Beliere didnt have to open her mouth.

His natural enemy.

Tak

Matis closed the door firmly.

Then he looked at the pattern of curses that floated in the air.

I dont feel any magic.

Thats right. It doesnt look like a magic circle either.

Stare.

Matis looked at his ring.

As expected, the rings color hadnt changed.

Miscellaneous magic, black magic.

The structure of the black magic circle was also miscellaneous and different.

The symbol of the curse was not even black magic.

Just in case, he thought of one thing.

Belliere laughed bitterly.

Its neither magic nor black magic. In the end, our predictions were right.

How is Chief Marcelo?

Like I told you. Im forcing him to live.

Simuard. The location is in the eastern part of the Imperial Capital City. Near Lake Narnia.

Goo

Light came out from the [Map That Connects All Things].

The demon kings energy had been purified through the exorcism.

The only thing to worry about was the effect of the item.

A message emerged in the pouring light.

[You have entered the Arcana Continent that is heading towards destruction.]

.

.

.

It reminded me of the Arcana I saw in various advertisements.

Needless to say, Zero Mountain always appeared.

The night view of Arcana appeared as often as the Zero Mountain.

Dozens of stars embroidered in the night sky.

The night sky of Arcana was filled with stars larger than the real moon. Yes, I had opened my eyes in the Arcana continent. The next thing I witnessed after the message was the night sky in Arcana.

Doom

There was a huge pupil in the sky.

A gaze was looking down on the Arcana Continent of Arcana as if watching.

I noticed.

No, I, a demon hunter, felt it instinctively.

[Skill Natural Enemy Relationship is activated.]

Indeed.

Instead of stars, the eyes of the demons embroidered the night sky of Arcana.

I spat out my sentiment.

Its a terrible sight.

Malice was spilling all over the Arcana Continent.

The pride in my heart reacted more intensely than ever.

Grandfel couldnt even tolerate breathing the same air as demons. Really, he probably would have fired magic at the eyes of the night sky at any moment now.

However, there was a procedure that was just as important as pride.

I had a reason to enter the Arcana Continent.

I checked the quest window.

[Quest: Request from the Simuard family]

The mage family Simuard.

They have a curse of terminal illness imposed on them.

Dig into the root of the curse.

Visit Simuard Mansion. (Successful)

Face Countess Simuard. (In Progress)

In order to uncover the curse of terminal illness entangled in the Simuard family.

I took a heavy step.

As expected of one of the most powerful magic families on the continent.

The size of the mansion couldnt be captured with just one glance.

Above all, the exterior was fine.

At this point in time, even the northern largest city, Frost, has fallen.

[Natural Enemy Relationship] became sharper and more extensive day by day.

My demon hunter sense was feeling it.

There was a demon inside Simuards mansion.

It was not difficult to discern their identity.

As stated in quests goal, the demon was likely to be Countess Simuard. I recalled information about Mrs. Simuard that I had heard through Belliere.

Godmother, Yula Simuard. She is practically the head of the Simuard family.

Countess Simuard had been acting as the housekeeper on behalf of the short-lived Simuard family. Belliere, recalling her memories, touched her temple.

But Im sorry. Nothing comes to mind about her. Strangely, the image of Marcelo that I saw on the same day and at the same time is vivid in my memory. As if only the afterimage of Madam Simuard had been cut out

It might sound unfortunate, but the mages of Mage Tower were smart.

Apprentice mages were the pride of their families, completely talented, and most of them were embarrassed to hear that.

Belliere was a senior mage who couldnt be compared to them. When she said it was clear in memory. It really meant it was clear as if she just saw it.

Its definitely fishy.

So.

I half-guessed it from there.

It might be the demons status abnormality.

And at this moment, in front of the mansion, I was convinced.

Simuard.

The demon entangled with the curse of the terminal illness.

She wore a mask of the countess.

I felt it once again.

Demons were so fearless.

She was messing with a mage family.

Well, I had seen a demon who had tried to betray an elder mage, a demigod.

Once again, it was as expected of demons.

Thrud

Suddenly, I felt a presence from beyond the darkness.

A man dressed in a tuxedo.

He held a magic lamp in his hand and spoke to me.

Its been a while since I had a guest. Although I dont know what kind of business you have.

Creak

He opened the door and greeted me politely.

I am Seo Hatif, butler of the Simuard family. Our Simuard house is open to anyone. Would you like to rest?

Yes, it was very demon-like to put an innocent person like this at the forefront. Anyway, as befitting of a counts butler, he was impeccably polite. To the point that I couldnt refuse.

Thank you.

I followed the butler, Seo, into Simuard mansion.

Someone would ask if I had gone crazy.

Even to me, it seemed crazy.

But this was also my heavy pride.

In my heart, I wanted to blow up the entire mansion where the demon resided. This was the Simuard family, Marcelos home. I was being considerate of Marcelo, who was struggling with curses.

You are innocent.

At the same time.

Nobless Oblige also included being considerate of the vassals who served Simuard.

In addition.

Im sorry, but what did you just say?

I looked up at the sky without answering.

It wasnt just the eyes of the demons in the night sky.

My arrangement had been waiting in the clouds since a while ago.

[Flying machine, Iron Castle: Waiting for command]

Therefore.

I confidently stood at the Simuard mansion.

Heading to the demons mouth.
