The Player Hides His Past

Episode 510 The shortest week (2)

Even if it wasn’t, it was fine.

‘I was planning on going anyway.’

On the Arcana Continent.

It’s the meeting between the Ten Pillars of Paimon and the great evil Pride.

I couldn’t describe the uncomfortable feeling I felt just listening to it. Even now, a kind of safety device called a rift has disappeared between the Arcana Continent and reality, right?

‘Seoul is a land of strangeness.’

The Behemoth’s mouth stopped working, allowing demons from the demon world to freely come to the Arcana Continent, and the Arcana Continent and Seoul were completely connected.

‘There are more things to worry about.’

Paimon and Pride.

A unique devil whose true intentions are unknown.

I can’t even imagine how those two would attack me.

This meant that this side also had to prepare in its own way.

My cubic crystal finally admits it.

“Still, a week would be enough.”

Yes, even if you think so.

In good conscience, you need about a week of preparation time, right?

If that’s the case, then you really need to plan your time.

‘Actually, I’m used to it.’

Me and Granfell never did that. Aren’t we the ones who trained our bodies while others were sleeping and even wrote morning greetings when others woke up?

‘There’s just one thing different.’

Now we have to be careful in all our actions. Just as I recognized the meeting between Paimon and Pride without much attention or effort.

‘Because they can see me just like I can see them.’

My presence on the Tenth Place was not something that could be easily hidden. In that sense, you might really need it. This is the ‘incarnation’ that Paimon was talking about.

But that’s just Lee Ho-yeol’s point of view.

‘What are you hiding, Mr. Granfell?’

Grandfell of the world is hiding his presence?

‘I don’t know if you’re just bragging, but are you scared of the devil?’

Sneaky.

Imagine Gran Fell walking stealthily without making a clicking sound. Just think of Gran Fell, where Dawn’s jacket was taken off because it was too flashy.

oh my god.

There will be no such collapse in character collapse.

And another obvious story.

“It’s an incarnation.”

A child is alone in heaven and earth.

“Nothing is so meaningless to me.”

How could our Grandfell-sama easily acknowledge a being who could replace him? No matter how hard you try to create an incarnation, you will never be able to create an incarnation that meets Granfell’s standards.

But I am Lee Ho-yeol.

I wasn’t discouraged by Granfell’s stubbornness.

It was thanks to something I had already thought about.

“I have alter egos that surpass the incarnation.”

That’s right, right now.

The countless names and reputations we have built up over the years.

And isn’t it time to put the legends to good use?

Eventually, I called my alter egos.

“Hiel. And The End.”

“Hayel responds to your call.”

“D’End will follow my lord.”

The greeting is still so formal that it feels burdensome.

It’s definitely my alter ego number 1 and 2.

It’s like looking in a mirror and my appetite is bitter again today.

I felt bitter inside and continued speaking.

“Show the inferior races what they want.”

As always.

“That must be the attitude of a noble who gives as much as he has.”

The pride of the devils was scratched with the Granfell style of speaking.

“It is time to practice noblesse oblige.”

*

A spire that is extremely simple in the Demon World.

At the top was a man wearing green clothes, green jewels, and his entire body decorated in jade. The man’s eyes turned to the west. The corners of his mouth slowly drew a parabola.

“I guess you weren’t the guest I was waiting for, Paimon?”

Gentle Barbatos, the Demon King of the Eighth Throne.

Because he is also the Ten Chair.

Barbatos was feeling the anger expressed by Paimon.

Just the fact that I was talking to a lowly demon from the Arcana Continent.

Paimon must have shown a lot of patience as is.

In that sense, the guest was out of luck.

“The noble Demon King has suffered unprecedented humiliation.”

It is said that the incarnate body was moved secretly. In reality, a magic eye appeared. Of course, the magical eyes that had surfaced earlier were all destroyed by the new Ten Seas.

“The focus was blurry, but it was enough to keep an eye on you.”

However, cracks were created continuously, and the Ten Chairs continued to exert influence on the cracks. Thanks to this, Barbatos witnessed everything.

Paimon’s humiliation.

“It looks like appeasement isn’t easy, but that’s understandable.”

But I had no intention of laughing at Paimon.

There was nothing good about being hated by Paimon, who had regained his madness.

However, Barbatos just waited for the right time.

“If you need my help, I will cooperate, Paimon.”

How could the devil be given the title ‘gentle’?

That was thanks to Barbatos’ special powers.

Because Barbatos was a great mediator.

What skills do mediators need?

Of course, reading the flow of both sides.

Barbatos was able to see the essence.

To put it simply:

something similar to a player’s system message.

Only Barbatos.

He was able to see in a way that only he could understand.

The greater its presence, the more impossible it was to deflect Barbatos’ power.

Eventually, Barbatos could not help but be shocked.

“!”

Goosebumps growing all over my body.

“You foolish Baal….”

Foolish Baal, the demon king on the first throne.

“You woke up from a long sleep.”

He broke the long silence and was born.

It was just writhing.

The feeling of intimidation seemed to envelop my body.

Barbatos desperately shook his head.

Baal has awakened. why? not without reason? Could it be that Paimon’s actions offended Baal? All kinds of possibilities confused Barbatos’ head.

however.

“I have no intention of spying on you, Baal.”

Unlike low-level demons.

Barbatos was not mistaken about why Baal was called foolish. Because Baal is alone in another dimension. Because no one can understand the intention of the action. Because it was just considered stupid.

‘I refuse to die.’

It was just a moment.

Just feeling Baal’s presence gave me a headache.

The authority had come under its command.

Barbatos looked west again.

The presence of Paimon has become quiet.

“It looks like you don’t need my help, Paimon.”

Right now.

In that case, I don’t need to worry about it either. The present where the battle for the Demon King and the proof of the Ten Seas have begun. Originally, he would have had to be busy as the Demon King of the 8th throne.

Barbatos chuckled.

Not in sincerity.

I spat out empty words.

“I sincerely want to return this favor to you.”

The reason why even he, who was in 8th place in the ranking, did not get his turn.

This was thanks to the active participation of Paimon, who was ranked 9th.

So why not enjoy some leisurely time now?

Barbatos thought, enjoying the silence.

Paimon I still don’t understand why you have so many subordinates. I’m talking about lowly beings who don’t match your level in the slightest.

“If I were you, I would be distracted by their cries.”

However, Barbatos’ leisurely self-talk did not last long.

“…!”

Goosebumps run down my spine again.

‘It’s not Baal…?’

However, this time it was a different kind of goosebumps than when it was Baal.

This was not a sign coming from the demon world.

This is the Arcana continent.

Thanks to this, I was able to recognize it immediately.

“The new zodiac guy is on the move.”

Revealing this presence through the main body rather than the incarnate body.

There will only be a new ten seat that does not know exactly about its power.

Barbatos suppressed a laugh.

“Did you dare listen to Paimon’s advice, rookie?”

Barbatos’s expression changed.

“Then it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to teach you.”

As I said, I had no intention of being hostile to Paimon.

There was no intention to cause direct harm.

I was literally thinking of stopping at the level of discipline.

Barbatos glanced west.

“If anything happens to you and the noble Paimon falls into deep sorrow. “This demon world will once again fall into fierce madness.”

manifestation of power.

Barbatos gently closed his eyes.

And then, following the energy of the one-day puppy, I explored the Arcana Continent.

But something was strange.

“…?”

…not one.

At first, I thought the aftereffects of daring to spy on Baal’s movements were still lingering in my mind. But it wasn’t an illusion. Barbatos’ lips move spontaneously due to power.

“…As the emperor of the spirits, I will restore the destroyed nature.”

It wasn’t a prophecy.

“Also, as an embracing darkness, I will wrap the sadness of the Arcana Continent in my arms. “The targets of the shadows and the agents of the shadows should follow him sincerely.”

This moment.

“At the same time, as the savior of the darkness, I will remove the darkness that has fallen over the Arcana continent and bring back the voices of the forgotten gods.”

These were events that were happening simultaneously.

That wasn’t all.

Events of such magnitude that it is difficult to fathom them.

It was happening all over the Arcana continent.

At the same time, the presence of the Ten Pillars was radiating.

“…Nonsense.”

Barbatos grabbed his head.

Common sense was being destroyed.

Nevertheless, as a mediator, he calmly assesses the situation.

Thanks to you, I reached a conclusion.

Between trembling lips.

The Demon King of the Fourth Throne His name comes out.

“Kamigin, you really weren’t letting your guard down?”

*

I never thought I would live to be grateful for bubbles…!

‘It was so rich that I felt suffocated.’

Because my alter egos 1 and 2, Hiel and Diend, are not enough.

Now that I have [materialized] my legends.

I was shocked.

I’ve said it several times.

The power of a legend depends on how widely it resonates.

‘It’s only natural that it goes beyond imagination.’

The legends of I, Lee Ho-yeol, have been retold hundreds of millions of times over the airwaves in reality. It was of a different level from the legends of the past that only resonated on the Arcana Continent.

[The Arcana Continent is shaking with your legend.]

…Has a message like this even come to mind?

What’s even more surprising is that the intensity of this was also adjusted.

Because my legends are not necessarily positive legends.

‘Only the legends that are necessary at this point have been materialized.’

I also omitted a few shameful legends…

but anyway, thanks to hiding my true self in these numerous bubbles. No matter what I do from now on, the Ten Lords will not be able to properly understand what I, the main body, am doing.

‘I don’t know what Paimon Pride’s plan is.’

It means that you too can’t figure out my plan.

An eye for an eye.

Even if the opponent is a devil, I don’t back down even an inch.

This is Lee Ho-yeol’s pettiness…!

However, with the Granfell style of speaking, even my sincerity was disguised as desired.

“Noblesse oblige.”

…You’re really showing off your temper, Granfell.

“Be thankful for a little mercy, you inferior race.”

Isn’t it so shameless that there’s nothing you can’t say to a high-ranking demon lord?

I kept walking while thinking.

Thanks to the bubbles, my actions could not be traced back.

Again.

As always.

It means that you confidently set out to find it.

A place that only I and Granfell know.

‘Only then can we say we are fully prepared.’

Eventually, what comes into view is the vast Cloudy Territory.

Of course, this is when players started coming and going.

Cloudy Spirit was not a place only I and Granfell knew about.

‘The real thing is another hidden piece hidden in the Cloudy spirit.’

Of course, I had to go back to my memory to talk about the hidden piece. It meant that even if you never wanted to recall it, you had to remember it.

Yes, those terrible settings that I wrote down in my notebook…!

『The accumulated wealth of the Cloudy family was something that no one could dare measure. The accumulated gold coins alone were comparable to the number of grains of sand on the beach…』

Just how worldly was he?

Hoyeol from the past?

Granfell’s nagging had never penetrated this deeply into my heart.

“Wealth and fame are as meaningless as a mere dream.”

…I’m so embarrassed that I have nothing to say, Granfell.

This time I’ll just keep quiet.

While I was walking towards Cloudy Spirit.

The lips moved as they pleased.

“Sometimes you can come to realize something in nothingness.”

…What if they end up scratching my plate? Seriously!

*

Great Sage Rise looked up to the sky.

More than the magical eyes and stars mixed together in the night sky.

Even more than the flowing Milky Way.

His eyes were shining even brighter.

Helionic reflection.

Last moment.

Like a rapidly burning flame.

The great sage looked into the distant future.

he spat out.

“The future that never changed has changed.”

In a voice filled with indescribable fear.

“Arcana Continent.”

“devildom.”

“God Realm.”

“The world of adventurers.”

“Yes, the whole world you know will be destroyed.”
