Chapter 220: With my own two eyes

Command.

Not Hoyeol. But Holyeong(command).

To be precise, the ethereal iron was commanding Zero Mountain.

I held and swung the ethereal iron with my hand.

If you ask me, why am I speaking of it as if it was other peoples sword?

Uhaha! Great, jump harder. Wilder!

It was because I was terribly ashamed to say that it was my sword.

Every time I swung, it spoke.

If I were to post a question to the community.

Are all ego equipment this talkative?

Then this answer would come up.

Ego equipment? Where in the world does such a thing exist

What did that statement mean?

In the end, it was a problem that couldnt be solved.

Couldnt I just ask the ethereal iron to shut up?

I wanted to do that too.

But I couldnt.nove(l)bi(n.)com

A wildness that never gave up until the end. It was quite honorable.

This damn mouth!

As you can see, the emotion between Grandfel and ethereal iron was just like a match made in heaven. Thanks to this, the only person suffering was me, Lee Hoyeol, who was suffering from both sides.

But lets think positively.

Its better than before.

When I had just woken up as a player.

Compared to the time when I was talking about etiquette training to gnolls.

Now, even if someone caught me like this, I had an excuse to protect myself.

Well, the mob I just killed was a level-700 monster.

[Name: Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo]

[Title: The Last Adventurer, Noble, Transcendent]

[Class: Demon Hunter]

[Level: 601]

[Stat]

Strength: 141 / Agility: 139 / Mana: 517 / Luck: 12 / Aesthetic: Upper / Tenacity: 2

[Point owned: 0]

My additional daily routine.

It had been four days since I had been steadily hunting monsters in the Zero Mountain. Thanks to this, I broke through the level 600 barrier and rose one additional level. But the important thing was not the level.

Fundamental ability over level.

How much had I improved my abilities?

I started to focus more on that.

In that regard, I had been making some progress in my own way.

First of all, I avoided usingmagicas much as possible while dealing with monsters.

It was a collapse of balance for me, wasnt it?

The effect of the circle amplified the manifestation power of my magic. Hunting monsters with magic that had already reached a transcendental level only served to fill up experience points pointlessly.

Efficiency is what matters in everything.

Like the tea time in the afternoon

No, no, not that.

It was like gold.

Additionally, experience points could be obtained from the Arcana Continent and the Qirnberg Machine Tower. As expected, legacy was the best.

Thanks to this, from now on, hunting in the reality couldnt be limited to simply gaining experience points.

Sk

Of course, in my efforts to refine the incomplete sword technique.

As well as my shooting technique using the crossbow.

In literally many ways.

Befitting of a demon hunter.

My focus was on developing my fundamental capabilities.

Because theres a possibility it could develop into oddity.

Of course.

If the players learned of this training method, they would be shocked.

They probably would say that it was nothing but just some hardship.

Then I would answer.

Sometimes you have to walk slowly to see things.

No, you dont have to answer it in such a romantic way

Youre absolutely correct, my lord.

Dont just go along with it, ethereal iron.

Anyway, I brought up my biggest accomplishment from these four days.

Haiel and Diend.

For the first time in a while, I was able to properly understand the strengths of those two at a given time.

I opened my mouth.

Haiel, Diend.

Haiel has answered Masters call.

Did you call, my lord?

Well, there is a saying that if you meet your doppelganger, you will die.

Haiel, Diend, and ethereal iron.

I faced three different doppelgangers.

I was already feeling dizzy, but lets bear with it.

First of all, Diend is just as I expected.

I never confirmed Diends power with my own eyes, but I had a rough guess of his strength.

Diend was a dark spirit who had made Fire Drake, the contract spirit of Senior Mage of Spirit School Peiyan, nervous since the first time he appeared. Even if that wasnt the case, I expected him to be a high-level spirit.

But I overlooked Haiel.

I would admit, it was due to prejudice.

I knew Haiels past. So I unconsciously overlooked her. Haiel would still be as glamorous as she was in the predators swamp.

Haiel can stop an elf.

Haiel was clearly a unique spirit and a being who received the [Blessing of the First World Tree] along with me.

Even if her {nature} abilities were not specialized for combat, she was not an entity that could be overcome by ordinary monsters.

The proof of it was visible.

All the beast-type monsters were bowing down to Haiel! These monsters were not meek.

Hey, how long has it been since I last saw your face?

How are you, Tom? Katrina is still the same.

You havent contacted me even once, but now you want us to shake hands.

Hey, you know who our boss is.

Youre probably dying under Mr. Park, arent you?

AAUs Korean branch head, Park Minjae.

Having confronted CEO Raymond Sean.

He was a legendary figure in many ways.

His rebellious temperament had been known to all branches since AAUs days of Cosmo. Tom and Katrina had expressed condolences upon hearing the news that Park Minjae had been appointed as a branch manager and Yoon Sookyums boss.

Still, I am jealous sometimes.

Are you crazy? Youre jealous of me? Why?

Youre probably close to Player Lee Hoyeol.

I agree.

When Hoyeols name was mentioned, Katrina put her face to the camera.

Yoon Sookyum probably had a closer relationship with Hoyeol than they did.

Katrina continued enthusiastically.

There must be a point of contact or exchanges between you! So what is it? What is the information about General Manager Yusra Lee Hoyeol that only the Korean branch knows? Ill keep it confidential. If I have to, Ill take Tom out of here too.

She asked him after saying something like that?

They were wasting their time.

Yoon Sookyum shook his head.

Do you know what pride is?

Pride? I know what it is. Its something General Manager Lee Hoyeol likes to say.

Yeah, would someone like that give a special treatment?

Oh

The two people understood at once.

Well, considering Hoyeols moves so far

Hoyeol didnt discriminate.

Even small sacrifices for the greater good were not tolerated.

Hoyeol was fair.

So three people who had wasted their energy soon got straight to the point.

So youre trying to bring back old memories, right?

Thats right. The memories when we were putting the story together.

Im sorry for derailing you. Does it have any meaning?

Tom, please. If youre going to be sorry, dont say anything.

Katrina, hit him.

As the three of them bickered, he felt like he had gone back to those days.

But he couldnt just laugh.

He couldnt go back to those days.

Tom, who was smoothing out his side that got hit, opened his mouth.

First of all, lets admit what we have to admit and begin from there. Perhaps Arcana has been out of our control from the moment when it was a game. Lets go with that premise.

Agreed.

Okay. Well, only Raymond knows the answer.

Tom was pessimistic about everything, but he was good at what he did.

If you think of it like that, you will be scared of the many mountains you will have to climb in the future. Well, wasnt the Arcana Continent still quite peaceful before the demons appeared?

I guess you can say that. There were major events like the Imperial War, but compared to this Holy War, they were nothing more than childs play. So what do you want to say, Tom?

The point is simple.

And he was sharp.

That there must have been a reason for that peace.

There was a reason for the long peace?

Are you saying it wasnt just because the demons were updated that it became a mess?

Tom shrugged his shoulders.

We laid down the premise, didnt we? Everything existed from the beginning. There was a setting background that we didnt know about from the beginning. The Mage Tower would be a good example of it.

The reason demons didnt appear wasnt because of the setting

There was some kind of situation that wasnt revealed like the absence of the Tower Master?

Thats right. In other words.

Click clack

A line of text that appeared when Tom hit the keyboard.

[There was a reason for the peace on the Arcana continent.]

And he added.

And there is a reason why that peace was broken.

.

.

.

Social gathering of time and space.

Black hair.

The eastern sky where the sun rose first.

The Warrior of Sunrise who came from that place lacked knowledge about the Arcana Continent. It was thanks to the Demon Worlds tectonic shift that he was able to set foot on Arcana in the first place.

Naturally, he was ignorant.

Youre brave. You mentioned that name.

The Warrior of Sunrise nodded at the words of a transcendent.

Witch of the Southern Sea.

He couldnt forget her reaction.

It was hard to believe she could make that kind of face.

He had seen her at the social gathering.

She was clearly different from that helpless figure.

So, he was naturally curious.

What on earth was that name

But the Warrior of Sunrise couldnt say anything.

From the second coming of the legend to the subjugation of the great evil.

Even that incident that was reported to your hometown.

Warrior from the East, can you believe it?

There was a family behind the whole affair.

Yes, its Claudie.

Because of Claudie, the continent had been able to maintain peace.

Because Claudie disappeared, the continent became like this.

!!!

That past was so shocking that it left him speechless.
