Chapter 195: Can you chase after me? (3)

A light illuminated the darkness of the Zero Mountain.

Its not the right time to say this, but its beautiful.

I wasnt the only one who thought that.

It sparkles so much that it soothes me. So pretty

The sphere of light was so bright that you could feel its warmth.

For a variety of complex reasons.

Dmitry, who frowned at the mere mention of Hoyeol, faltered.

What is he doing?

He had been very nervous when he entered the portal.

He didnt show it because he was afraid Camilla would make fun of him.

For tankers, there was no battlefield more threatening than a dark forest.

There were some kind of monsters in the dark forest.

You never knew where they would come out.

Besides, this was no ordinary forest.

This was Zero Mountain.

Back when Arcana was just a game.

He hadnt even experienced the low-level area.

And yet, they came to this middle area that had never seen before.

Dmitry, here it comes.

Suddenly, he heard Roxs voice.

When he snapped out of it, he saw a rabbit rushing in.

Dmitry raised his shield.

Okay!

Thud!

He held on tight.

Still, Dmitry continued thinking.

If the light hadnt lit up the darkness

Bang!

Ugh!!

Would he have been able to prevent the current attack?

On the outside, it looked no different from a common rabbit.

But on the subject of rabbits.

From the way they picked which players to attack first.

He could tell he shouldnt let his guard down just because of its cute look.

Swish!

A bowstring was being pulled.

Camilla said with an arrow in her mouth.

Hou mani greak thingss theyv ean? (How many great things they have eaten?)

The fact they could survive in the middle area of Zero Mountain.

That alone was proof that it was not a normal rabbit.

But like he said, the light existed.

Stay in line. Even if its level is high, its a normal monster. Its pattern is obvious.

Under Roxs command, Shining skillfully responded to the rabbits surprise attack.

Was it because of the extreme experience they had while dealing with demons in the rupture?

If not that, was it because of the light that lit up the darkness?

Brush

Camilla swept up her red hair.

I think the welcome greeting is over~

Thud.

Dmitry then put down his shield without saying a word.

He was unusually quiet?

Camilla caught on and spoke.

Whats wrong with your reaction? Thats not like our maknae.

I dont understand.

Huh? About what? Whats wrong~

What do you think is the reason hes doing this?

Slide

Dmitrys thick finger pointed to the sphere of light.

Oh, that one?

Camilla grinned.

Well, if I knew, wouldnt I have run away from Shining?

Like their Jessie.

Camila, Im listening.

Gasp. Look at you having a straight face. Its a joke. Its just a joke, Rox.

Camilla continued, laughing.

Actually, what does the reason matter?

?

Its nothing new, isnt it? This is not the first time our Commander-in-Chief has done this. How many times do you think hes gone through this cumbersome and tiring process? No way, you dont think this is the first time, do you, Dmitry?

Dmitry closed his mouth and tried to remember.

Hes level 900 at minimum

And that was a number that had been predicted a long time ago.

Dmitry was also a ranker, so he was well aware of it.

It took a huge amount of effort to keep your position.

Even if I spend all my time leveling up, it wont be enough.

What kind of steps did Lee Hoyeol take?

The ruptures where Dmitry put all his best effort seemed trivial to Lee Hoyeol.

If there were beings that posed even the slightest threat to humanity, including the demon king.

He nipped them in the bud.

However, he was not arrogant or conceited.

He even helped the growth of players who lagged behind by moving the Arcana forces he had built.

Indeed.

[Quest: Unfinished Holy War]

The quest that appeared before Dmitrys eyes was proof of his consistency.

Shake

Dmitry shook his head.

Maybe I was looking at the trees, not the forest.

At such a man, he only looked with an envious gaze.

Are you pretending to realize it now? Still, its not cool~

For today, he deserved to hear something like that from Camilla.

Slap!

Dmitry slapped his cheek roughly with both hands.

Okay, Ill have to be a little more serious from now on.

Rox smiled bitterly at Dmitry, who had made up his mind.

At this point, it would be strange not to admit it.

Shegwin was busy avoiding the pouring magic.

It was like a section that creaked from the pouring notes.

What did he call it again?

A duet between rough heartbeat and screams?

You really make your words come true. Grandfel.

However, I shouldnt underestimate him.

Likewise.

No, unlike me who took the shortcut.

Shegwin was a transcendent who reached this point through his own power.

As if responding to my speculation.

Slash!

Soon the pressure from the strong wind blew away the pouring magic notes.

A shitty magic tool.

Sss

Dust rose in the mountain.

Shegwin appeared from there.

His pupils were revealed in the cleared-out dust.

And this shitty sensation.

Blackened eyes.

They confirmed that Shegwin had truly degenerated into a demon.

But the pupils were trembling.

To be precise, he couldnt make eye contact with me.

There is no way that transcendents would be intimidated by force.

Then there was only one reason.

As a demon hunter vs. a demon.

Shegwin and I were not in the same weight class.

Demon of the true name, Shegwin. Hes not a demon king.

To be in the same weight class, he had to be a demon king.

Among the demon kings, he had to have experience in confronting demon hunters.

To put it in a simpler way, he should have overcome the natural enemy relationship.

Only then he could remain unfazed even in the face of natural enemies.

Its a similar case to Greed.

Greed of the Seven Deadly Sins, who committed suicide and were reborn.

Even if he was a great evil, he had no resistance to demon hunters. In the past, when I had been much weaker than I was now, he couldnt even fight me back and was thrown into hell.

Shegwin was the same case.

It hasnt been long since he became a devil.

He had no resistance to natural enemies.

He smelled like an immature demon.

As expected, it was good news for me.

So I was able to speak confidently like this.

That form is as ugly as ever.

Shegwin crookedly raised the corner of his mouth.

Ive felt it at the social gathering, but your speaking habits are really amazing. Those eyes that look down on the world are also arrogant and impudent.

He got offended by my casual speech.

Even if you regain your youth, you cant lie about your age.

By the way, I thought you would say harsh comments at least once, Grandfel.

I realized it from the moment he used casual speech to Senios until the end.

Of course, that said, Shegwin.

Im not saying that you deserve honorifics.

I answered back.

You are mistaken.

?

Youre talking about a conversation that could be had between humans.

!

Are you still mistaking yourself for being a human being?

Flash

Shegwins face distorted.

At this point, I was certain.

Really, I dont think he had any intention to be a demon.

But it didnt change anything.

No, it was actually even worse.

He made a deal with the demons simply to regain his youth.

Even if he had been deceived by the demons, his crime was a different case.

Shegwin didnt seem to have any intention of refuting it either.

I have no illusions or regrets. I can still clearly hear the sound of humans crying in my ears. But what is so wrong about that?

His black pupils reflected madness.

Their life would have been trampled by the demons anyway. I simply offered those people as sacrifices. Whats wrong with that? It was bad enough that the damn bastard demon insulted me. Shut up!

There was a surge of demon energy.

I thought about the meaning of Shegwins words.

It was true that the Arcana Continent was trampled by demons.

But to me, and to Grandfel, these words were not worth hearing.

A cold voice came out of my mouth.

No, you just turned a blind eye to it.

I turned a blind eye?

You just turned a blind eye to achieve your ugly purpose.

I didnt mean to preach, but I also had no intention to listen to his excuse.

And most of all, I, Grandfel, had a right to say this.

By struggling to death.

I brought peace to the Arcana Continent, even if only for a moment.

I had the right to talk about it.

I slowly opened my mouth.

But if that frivolous excuse is the pride you have been carrying out.

Then I slowly put down my baton.

I will break you with true pride.

Right.

Here it came.

Grandfels punishment for Shegwin.

I continued.

I deliver this to the social gathering of time and space.

?

I challenge the Transcendent, Shegwin, to a duel of time and space.

!

Then my vision changed.

Raise your sword. I will also raise my sword.

Yeah, my new sword.
