Chapter 188: I won't forget this debt

Name:The Player Hides His Past Author:
Chapter 188: I won't forget this debt

To sum it up, it was simple.

It finally feels like training.

Overuse my body to the point that the effect of the [Blessing of the first World Tree] couldnt offset it.

To the point that Grandfel couldnt bluff his way out of it.

That was the training beyond limits!

I was truly shocked in many ways.

I called it training that went beyond limits, but no matter how you put it, the secret to the strength of the demon hunter was just hard work, right? The consistency was shocking, really.

Grandfel, you too.

If youve overused your body to the point where you cant recover even with the World Tree buff.

What?

It finally feels like training, you said?

Then what the hell have I done so far?!

Poor me.

But the most shocking thing was the message.

[You will receive additional rewards through training that transcends limits.]

I had seen messages similar to this before.

My stat points would increase by an additional one or two points, right?

In fact, that alone was a huge additional reward.

Because one stat point was worth 1 level.

However.

[You have acquired the stat Tenacity.]

It was different this time.

A stat was opened.

Just like with the [Aesthetic] stat, the moment I acquired it.

The effect of tenacity was imprinted in my vision and my mind.

[Tenacity: Converts mental strength into ability scores. Each time the tenacity increases, the converted ability value increases additionally.]

As soon as I saw it, I couldnt help but feel shocked.

Wasnt this basically the demon hunters unique stat?!

Anyway, I cursed out a lot today, but

I could guarantee you that no one in Arcana had a stronger mental strength than the demon hunter. That was because people with weak mental strength couldnt survive in Akshan.

It used to be like that in the past.

Not only there were endless grinds of quests.

The demon hunter had a training method that was closer to a horror game than an RPG. There was no reason to insist on demon hunter class, leaving countless Arcana contents behind.

To put it bluntly, I would have quit too.

If I hadnt forcibly got cut off from Arcana.

I would naturally be cured of my middle-school second-year syndrome and parted ways with Grandfel.

I would have created and fostered a new account.

Strictly speaking

I skipped the intermediate step again this time too.

In order to acquire [Tenacity] in a normal way.

It probably would have required a lot of training.

They even trained their body in hell.

But this shamelessness didnt disappear.

Even at this moment.

I spoke to the demon hunter who didnt stop doing push-ups.

We are finally on equal terms.

Then I did push-ups again.

As expected, I could feel the effect of [Tenacity].

This is easy.

Stronger mental strength beyond that of the demon hunter.

I could feel that Grandfels mental strength was supporting my body.

It wasnt just my delusion, it appeared as a message.

[Strength temporarily increases due to the effect of tenacity.]

I checked the number while squeezing my muscles.

[Strength: 112 162]

No, what is this?

Even if it was only temporary, my strength increased by 50 points?!

It was enough to cause my muscles to spasm in surprise.

It was only natural.

Even if Grandfels mental power was not at the level of ordinary human beings

[Tenacity: 1]

I only acquired 1 point of [Tenacity].

As stated in the description.

The value of the converted ability was influenced by the value of [tenacity].

So how much will it increase in the future?

I couldnt help but feel shocked.

What kind of ridiculous efficiency was this?

I wondered if the effect of [tenacity] was fraudulent.

Or if Grandfels mental strength was the fraudulent one.

There was no way to know right now.

But one thing had become clear.

For the time being, I will put all of the level-up points on tenacity.

That went without saying.

No matter how great Grandfels mental power was, it couldnt overcome the gap in stats. In the end, I opened my mouth only after my shirt was so drenched in sweat to the point that you could see my skin through it.

It was a good match.

A good maaatch?

There is no match in the world more foolish than this, Grandfel.

He wouldnt feel good defeating his only junior.

Only then did the demon hunter stop doing push-ups and stand up.

Crackle

Then the flames of hell began to swirl around his body.

No socializing.

He was good at following the rules until the end.

Like in the beginning, he didnt say farewell.

But I clearly witnessed it.

?

I could see his mouth under the hood.

His mouth was clearly turned upward.

He was definitely smiling.

You laughed at me just now, didnt you?

Youre being smug because you won, arent you?!

Yes, I was thankful that he helped me acquire [tenacity].

But he just suddenly did push-ups.

Then he just disappeared with a laugh.

Our Akshan sunbaenim, your personality is truly amazing!

However, it didnt harm Grandfel either.

Sometimes you can communicate without saying anything.

No, now that I had given it another try.

Toward the demon hunter who returned to the flame of hell.

I declared.

Ill pay this debt back next time, demon hunter.

I truly lost to you, Grandfel.

The Demon King of Tears.

Ranked 56th.

The Demon King, Gremory, wiped her eyes.

Now that Akshans desperate struggle against Gamigin had unfolded.

They thought it was an opportunity to crush the resurrected Akshan.

But they couldnt figure it out.

Where on earth is that place?

A very strange landscape.

No matter where they searched on the Arcana Continent, they couldnt find that place, Akshan, or the silver-haired demon hunter.

Even though they borrowed the evil eyes vision.

It was just typical of Akshan.

They give me goosebumps just by appearing.

But time was on their side anyway.

Even though Gamigin was in hell, there were still nine high-ranking demon kings left. Well, even if they were unlucky, the existence of the great evils couldnt be ignored either.

Among them, Shegwins role was just like a scout.

Whether it was Akshan or the silver-haired demon hunter.

He was a bait that would reveal their existence again.

Well, when it came to demons, Akshan would rush ahead without thinking.

Until they bit the bait.

All she had to do was wait.

In that case, the Zero Mountain might not be a bad idea, Shegwin.

Thursday.

Regular update.

For the first time in a while, AAU was filled with tension.

Please come up with something good.

Sung Hyunjoon put his hands together and prayed reverently.

Our general manager, enjoy your vacation to the fullest!

Youre doing more than me these days,

Senior, you pray quickly too. If you wish earnestly, it will come true.

Oh my gosh.

Just Homen.

Click clack

Yoon Sookyum chuckled and hit refresh.

Then he spoke to Sung Hyunjoon, who was muttering.

At least it wont be an update about the demons.

Really?

They must have also suffered great damage from the Battle for the Demon King. Above all, if there is a complete victory, there is also a complete defeat, right? At least they cant set up a large-scale event like the Battle for the Demon King.

Unless it was a demon-type monster that possessed a different level of power, they didnt have to show it to Hoyeol.

At his words, Sung Hyunjoon began to pray in more detail.

Then I hope its not a demon-type monster!

But who are you saying this prayer to?

God, or Buddha?

is that so? But, if you think about it, wouldnt it be Raymond who listens to all your prayers?

Wait, then I cancel it! I would be crazy to pray to that guy!

But had the prayer already reached Raymond?

Click

The moment the official website of Arcana was refreshed.

The details of the regular update appeared.

There was no need to say where it appeared first.

AAU South Korea Branch.

No, the same words popped out of every branch.

Z-Zero Mountain!

The symbol of the Arcana Continent system.

The Zero Mountain would be added as a new area?

Sung Hyunjoons face lit up.

S-Sunbae. Isnt this great? If the Zero Mountains are added as a region, at least players wont have to worry about hunting grounds!

There were levels ranging from low to high in the vast Zero Mountain.

There was content for every player.

In particular, there were quite a few items sleeping in the Hundred Thousand Cave.

Thats exactly why its a problem.

Yes? What do you mean?

A problem.

Sung Hyunjoon was briefly taken aback by the unexpected answer.

Yoon Sookyum continued in a trembling voice.

Its too big, thats the problem!

Crash!

At the same time, they heard urgent footsteps.

It was the branch manager, Park Minjae.

Park Minjae shouted loudly.

Everyone, start the calculation!

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

What? Sung Hyunjoon still hasnt figured out the situation?

Yoon Sookyum opened his mouth on behalf of Park Minjae.

Hyunjoon, do you remember the size of the Zero Mountain?

Of course. Its so huge that the dragons live on top of it?!

Wait a minute.

If the Zero Mountain appeared in reality.

What would happen in the aftermath?

There would be a tectonic shift that never existed in the history of the Earth.

If the Zero Mountain rose in a particular country.

That country might disappear from the map forever.

Even if it rose from the sea

Yoon Sookyum said.

Thats right, a natural disaster on a different level will follow.

!!!

How were they supposed to prepare for this?

This was a completely different problem from the rupture.

They had to prevent a natural disaster that could end the world.

Someone murmured.

If not with magic, how can we

?!!

Wait, magic?

At that word, everyone remembered.

There were people who could prevent catastrophic natural disasters.

You said, theres a give and take in everything.

Marcelo picked up a feather pen.

Sk

He wrote down neatly on a parchment.

I will put those words into practice. Sir Hoyeol.

As of this time, we will fully permit the towers exit.

The purpose is salvation for salvation.

All members of the Mage Tower gather.

Acting Chief Lee Hoyeol and Marcelo Simuard.
