Chapter 144: I'll give you a chance

Episode 144. Ill give you a chance

I noticed it from her question.

She didnt realize it yet.

The demon who claimed to be the Simuard familys godmother had been hunted.

The curse of the terminal illness and the status abnormality should have disappeared.

Belliere seemed oblivious.

Reality and the Arcana Continent.

Was it because they were two worlds that couldnt be connected without a rupture? Well, even if that was not the case, the hazier the effect of the status abnormality, the less recoil they would have when it was lifted.

Whatever the reason, it didnt matter.

Yula Simuard, the moment her name was mentioned.

Just like the servants of the Simuard, she would realize what was going on.

But was it necessary?

Of course, this included Marcelo. Even if he knew the truth now, nothing would change. He would ask himself why he didnt notice sooner. It would only make him feel guilty.

I was a demon hunter, so I could tell.

The demons were a race that exploited human regret.

So it would be best if I just kept my mouth shut.

However, this guys pride couldnt let it go.

I didnt get hit. I hunted millions of demons.

!

Belliere was shocked by my shameless boasting.

The purpose of entering the Arcana continent was to find a clue to unlocking the curse of terminal illness.

Bellieres green pupils widened and slid around.

Millions! Oh, no! I overlooked it for a moment because I was worried about Chief Marcelo. The Arcana Continent would never have been safe. Then, the blood on those clothes is Chief Lee Hoyeols blood !

Belliere immediately raised her mana.

As expected, you still have scars, right? Thanks to the relics of the Goddess Church that the Chief gave us, we have been able to take care of Marcelo until now. Will you please give me a chance to return the favor?

The holy relic of the Goddess Church?

Oh, she was talking about [Ceremonial Robe Stained with Evil].

After purifying it through an exorcism, its true name and effects were revealed.

[Silk Clothes of the High Priestess of the Goddess Church].

Not only it had a level-700 restriction, there was an additional restriction that only those with [healing] related skills could wear it.

I couldnt use it anyway.

I gave it to Belliere in case it might be of help.

I was glad it could help.

However.

I will just accept your intention.

Before the injury spreads, get treatment quickly!

No, there are no injuries.

There should be.

Even though I died once, I returned to reality completely unharmed.

Belliere still didnt seem to understand.

Well, she must be full of questions.

Even if you think about it with common sense.

After returning from the Arcana continent in two hours.

I started by changing out of my blood-soaked and torn clothes.

But surprisingly, there were no injuries.

If I came back after hunting millions of demons, what did I do with the Simuard? It couldnt be helped that she was suspicious of my actions But Marcelo still woke up fine.

Haha.

Are you laughing because youre speechless?

If thats the case, you can laugh as much as you want, Belliere.

I couldnt believe I came back two hours after making that commotion at the roundtable meeting either.

No matter what I did, she could laugh.

Laughter was specially permitted.

But soon, Bellieres hand went to the corner of her eyes.

She wiped away the tears from her eyes.

No. Its all right, Chief Lee Hoyeol. Thank you for returning safely. And above all, Chief Marcelo. No, Marcelo, thank you for saving him.

Sk

Belliere bowed politely.

Wouldnt she need to make a distance before collecting herself?

Well, what was the point? it was important that the true leader of our Mage Tower, Marcelo, was safe. Belliere gathered her emotions and opened her mouth.

Chief Marcelo is still resting in a separate room.

I wondered if it was okay to visit the hospital late.

I thought so, but.

I spoke with affection.

Ill check Marcelos well-being at the meeting.

Meeting? Are you talking about the roundtable meeting?

Thats right.

Indeed.

I had witnessed it.

I had seen the miserable Arcana Continent with my own eyes.

Now, lets assume.

There was no need to go all the way to the high-ranking demon king.

What if [Loser of the Western Demon World, Laxioros] and a demon of a similar level were updated to the rupture right now? Just like it had been up until now. The world would have no choice but to be paralyzed by shock once again.

The demons activities were not slowed down by the oppression of the demon kings.

I had to correct it.

The oppression of the demon kings was nothing more than a trigger.

Including Decarabia, I had hunted down four demon kings, leaving a vacancy in the demon kings place.

It seemed a [Battle of Demon King] was taking place among the demons to occupy the vacant throne.

Then, I will grant you the honor of participating in the battle to conquer the demon king on an equal footing with Laxioros!

Yes, the reason the demons were quiet was to take the place of the demon king.

They were just watching over each other.

I didnt know how the battle would go.

But I could guarantee one thing.

Millions, then tens of millions and hundreds of millions.

Above all else, the news about Chief Lee Hoyeol came first.

There was only one person who reacted differently.

Hes back already?

Only Marcelo, whose sense of time had become blurred.

Huft, Belliere took a deep breath.

Chief Lee Hoyeol, the person concerned, would reveal what happened at the Arcana Continent in the roundtable meeting

Chief Lee Hoyeol said this.

There was only one thing Belliere could answer.

I hunted millions of demons.

W-Wait a minute! W-What did you say?

M-Millions?! Somethings wrong with ears, right? Yes? Senior Belliere!

Sneak

Now the senior mages came in with the door open.

Belliere declared firmly again in front of everyone.

No. You heard it right. Chief Lee Hoyeol hunted millions of demons on the Arcana Continent in just over two hours and returned safely to the Mage Tower.

!!!

Was that possible if you thought with common sense and magic sense?

The best-armed group on the Arcana continent.

The chief of the Mage Tower and the seniors of the Mage Tower had a look of astonishment on their faces.

*

Yusra King, Frost, and Holy Land Muon.

There was no need to distinguish between regions.

Now that the demons activities quietened down.

No matter where you went, there were a lot of players.

I told you. Without those demon bastards, we can do this.

Really, before I go to sleep, I just mutter, Homen, Homen.

Oh, by the way, what happened to Skal?

Even if they fell and came back from a rupture of a suitable level.

The players still had the power to chat like this.

Since the subject of the conversation was a hot topic, the chattering didnt end easily.

Well, since the people involved havent talked about it, there are only speculations. Are they even going to move? Who is Lee Hoyeol? Even if Skal uses polite speech, it wont be enough.

Right? He didnt even use names, he called him Evil Dragon Hunter!

But Skals stubbornness is no joke. If it were me, I would say I made a mistake last time, Im sorry, and Id like to have a formal conversation again. I would have taken a few steps back.

It wasnt a trivial quarrel, but since Hoyeol was related to Skals hidden class, [dragon knight],

It was obvious that Skal would make an official appearance.

So they didnt understand it even more.

Begging wouldnt be enough, is it the right time for him to build his pride? I dont get it.

But isnt it strange?

What?

Skal, looking at what he did, hes obviously an attention seeker. How did he live quietly until now?

Sigh, youre doing a face-reading[1]In Korea, there is a folk belief that you can predict a persons personality through the shape of ones face. Its called face-reading/physiognomy. to him now? Take a good look at the mobs face when you watch Skals face. Even before all this, he attacked with aggression

Of course, what was more important to players was the experience points and items in front of them rather than the public news. Therefore, the players couldnt help but concentrate all at once.

Ding

The sound of a bell.

Boo

At the same time, a trumpet rang out.

All at once in the Yusra Kingdom, Frost, and Muon.

Players faced each other.

They didnt know about the bell, but for the trumpet to ring out?

It was an unusual occurrence.

No, it never happened since the Cataclysm.

They naturally realized intuitively.

Hey, something big is coming.

Hyungnims, I think something will come out?

Sigh. What is it, what is it?

Gulp.

Boo

The longer the trumpet continued, the greater their expectation.

Hadnt someone said it so many times?

If you have high expectations, you will be disappointed.

!!

But not this time.

The development grew as big as their expectations.

No, it unfolded far beyond those expectations.

In a way that was more intuitive than anything else.

A message appeared before the players eyes.

[Quest: Unfinished Holy War]

Crazy, what kind of quest is this?!

It was an extraordinary quest.

.

.

.

Yusra Kingdom.

In a golden roundtable.

I looked at the people sitting in their seats.

King of Yusra, Hakuna.

Acting Lord of Frost, Harkon.

Head of Paladins of Muon, Talim Ever.

Finally, its starting.

The Holy War, I have been waiting for this day.

May the Goddess blessing be with you.

Their gazes filled with sorrow all turned towards me.

I would have said hundreds of millions of demons, but

Shouldnt we start by adjusting the number of people here too?
