The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 104: It stinks

[Name: Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo]

[Title: The Last Adventurer]

[Class: Demon Hunter]

[Level: 377]

[Stat]

Strength: 62 / Agility: 66 / Mana: 287 / Luck: 6 / Aesthetic: Low

[Point: 44]

Karimjeva was not a monster. Naturally, this meant that I didnt get experience points.

So I raised 44 levels just by hunting the demons!

Its great.

In the Arcana system.

The higher the level, the more experience points required to level up increased exponentially.

 I also felt the systems viciousness in the [Predators Swamp].

I couldnt believe I went up 44 levels.

But I wasnt surprised.

I recited calmly.

This achievement is a given.

Needless to say, it was only natural.

Yeah, I had hunted a lot of demons.

Besides, the demons were not ordinary demons.

They were the subordinates of the demon king, the high-ranking one at that.

There was definitely an army commander involved.

I didnt remember many messages that appeared.

Besides, I was distracted by the battle between Senios and Karimjeva at the time.

Some people might ask in shock.

I cant believe youve knocked down so many demons while being distracted.

Did you think I could afford to do so?

Of course, I couldnt and I had my circumstance.

A very pathetic circumstance, at that.

Senios ice magic.

Karimjevas fire magic.

The two supernatural magic had collided and turned into pure magic.

This was possible because the two properties were polar opposites.

Thanks to this, I was able to freely use the pure magical energy that was flowing around the rupture.

Like how I interfered with Banglets magic.

It was the magic of two elder mages, demigods.

The amount of mana allowed me to manifest magic as if it were water.

Of course, I lost a little experience point because it wasnt my mana, but I blamed my conscience.

Not only that.

It was a battle on a different level.

If it was Lee Hoyeol, the battle wouldve been too overwhelming to watch,

In the battle of two demigods, I witnessed something.

I noticed it because of Grandfels talent.

To put it into words.

Awakened.

I had felt like I opened up my eyes that had been closed.

I had felt like I woke up my eyes and looked into a higher state of magic.

His innate magical talent is such that he can imitate most magic just by looking.

And thanks to unconsciously imitating that state.

I made the army commander sick with fear.

I was even able to kill Karimjeva with [oddity] in the end.

I could be certain.

The state actually existed.

Well, I had experience.

Even in the days when I was ignorant about magic.

Exploration, interference, and manifestation.

I had immediately grasped the structure of magic.

An experience that benefited greatly from Grandfels talent.

The fact that the state existed meant that I could recognize it.

Of course.

Unfortunately, the view is blurry.

The state was literally the state that belonged to demigods.

At that time, I had unconsciously immersed myself.

It was just an imitation of the state.

To put it simply, Senios and Karimjeva had forced me to wake up my eyes for a short time.

Even if I like taking the easy path.

It would stab my conscience to surpass the level of a demigod at only level 377.

But I ended up having an opinion that stabbed my conscience more than anything else.

But oddity is no less than that.

Yeah, that wasnt wrong.

Because I defeated Karimjeva, who had reached the high level, through [oddity. Knowing that fact gave me a goal. This time, I was just following the state.

If I could wake up my eyes and manifest [oddity] by my own power.

At that time, I really wouldnt be a pathetic person.

I didnt know when that would happen.

However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Distributing the stat points was part of that step.

The class quest rewards are enough for strength and agility stat.

Just like always.

I was about to put all my points into mana but then stopped.

Why is it 44 points?

44 level-ups.

Two deaths each.

I was the one who had said.

I had declared that I was non-religious and that I didnt believe in God.

It was a little weird to be swayed by superstitions.

[Mana: 331]

As promised.

I invested all my points into mana and shifted my gaze.

I checked my immediate goal, the quest window.

Identify the forces involved in the Holy War. (In Progress)

• Encounter the Saint of the Goddess Church. (In Progress)

First of all, I needed to figure out what kind of person the Saint of the Goddess Church was. Of course, I didnt have to get out of my seat. I said shamelessly.

This is also an oddity.

Dont make a big deal of web surfing on the Mage Tower, Grandfel.

Later on, you will say that even very early morning delivery is an oddity.

I searched for information about the Goddess Church.

What?

And I regretted it.

I shouldve invested 1 point in luck.

Because the demon hunters sense of smell was telling me.

Theres a saintess, but theres no saaaaint?!

The Goddess Church was fishy!

*

The arrival of Muon, the Holy Land of the Goddess Church.

The person who was more excited about the update history than anyone else was none other than Bohemians guild master, Gyver.

Gyver recalled the humiliation in the last rupture, [Predators Swamp].

Its a humiliation that I want to forget.

The [Predators Swamp] rupture was created in Europe.

Thanks to that, Bohemian entered the rupture with the full support of the EU.

However, the attack on the rupture ended in failure.

The goal of showing the greatest performance?

The moment Lee Hoyeol appeared.

It was out of his hand.

Theres nothing to regret about that.

However, even if he excluded Lee Hoyeol, it was a huge failure.

It was all because of his own misjudgment.

The greed of trying to catch two named monsters at the same time.

What he had lost because of that mistake was too great.

I dont have the face to see everyone.

There were guild members who were killed during the battle.

He couldnt help but fall for that pattern.

He couldnt even make an excuse.

As expected, it was because of Hoyeol.

Because Hoyeol acted as if he knew everything.

Gaon, Inazuma, and Berserker joined forces to respond.

With that judgment, Hoyeol succeeded in sprouting the seed of World Tree. He realized that the gap between him and Hoyeol was so big that having an inferiority complex toward him was embarrassing.

However.

He had an opportunity to wash away his sorrow.

Muon, the Holy Land of the Goddess Church, appeared!

Gyvers class was paladin.

He was also a paladin chosen to carry out the class quest.

Although he wasnt a paladin of the Goddess Church, there was something in common between the Churches.

And we had a friendly relationship with the Goddess Church.

He himself was quite close to the NPCs of the Goddess Church.

If he took that into account

Gyver thought hard.

No matter how many times he pressed the calculator.

Rather than exploiting the ruptures, this is a more profitable business.

He might receive a quest.

No, even if he didnt receive a quest, Muon was definitely in a state of confusion right now.

Like a bolt out of the blue. They teleported from the Arcana continent to Earth.

I can increase intimacy in the process of explaining.

That dream wasnt in vain.

Gyver didnt hesitate.

As soon as Muons coordinates appeared, he headed straight to Muon.

However.

Gyver, something is strange.

It wasnt the Muon he imagined.

It didnt look like it was in flames or in the hands of the demons like it was with Frost.

A pure white fortress.

Muon was just the same as when Arcana was a game.

Gyver, those on the castle wall are paladins?

Yeah.

It was the same except for the paladins who were casting hostile gazes from the top of the castle wall.

As expected, the reporters gathered at the scene.

They noticed Givers arrival and asked him a question.

Its not common for paladins to move, is it?

Nod

Gyver nodded silently.

It meant that the church had moved the paladins.

Gyver was the player who knew that better than anyone else.

But Ive never seen the paladins on that magnitude.

The largest religion on the Arcana continent.

As a sacred place for the Goddess Church.

Muon had a fortress comparable to most large cities.

There was no gap in sight on the walls of Muon. The paladins were lined up tightly on the castle wall.

There seems to be some misunderstanding.

Amidst the barrage of questions.

Gyver opened his mouth with difficulty.

That was the only way he could explain it.

Theres no reason to be hostile toward us, is there?

There was definitely a misunderstanding.

But it wasnt a misunderstanding.

There was a sound coming from Muon.

Booo!

It was the sound of a horn.

Soon, the loud sound that drew attention stopped.

He heard a voice.

We await the Judgment Day in Muon, the Holy Land of the Goddess Church.

Everything is arranged by the Saintess. We dont need any help.

So anyone who approaches Muon.

A declaration followed.

We will punish you in the name of the Goddess.

A clear declaration of hostility towards humanity.

.

.

.

[Breaking News] Muon, the Holy Land of the Goddess Church, I dont want to talk.

[Breaking News] EU, We have deep regrets and want to resolve the misunderstanding.

[Breaking News] Gyver, 1st in paladin ranking, This situation is definitely serious.

[Breaking News] AAU, We are currently assessing the situation

Muons attitude was completely different from what they imagined.

Back when Arcana was a game.

When they thought about the actions of the Goddess Church, the shock was bound to be even greater.

I understand to some extent. Updated NPCs Arcanains who were summoned to reality were like that at first. Because they were suddenly dropped into an unfamiliar world.

Yoon Sookyum nodded at Sung Hyunjoons words.

But thats too much, isnt it? Sunbae, have you checked the satellite images?

As long as Muon, the Goddess Church, showed hostility.

AAU also couldnt sit back and watch.

Naturally, AAU operated the satellite and took pictures of the inside of Muon.

Click

He clicked the mouse.

A panoramic view of Muon came up on Sung Hyunjoons monitor.

First of all, the number of paladins is ridiculous. At a minimum, there are tens of thousands. Up to 100,000 people. You know how much money it takes to train a paladin, dont you?

I know. But still. Lets just say its possible because it is the Goddess Church, the largest religion on the Arcana continent. The question is, when did it start?

Yes, thats what I want to ask, too.

It would take an enormous amount of time to train paladins of that caliber Since when?

Everything was arranged by the Saintess.

They didnt need help.

Just as they declared.

Muon didnt seem to lack anything.

Food, clothing, and shelter, everything was self-sufficient in Muon.

Its basically a small country.

Is this arrangement real?

As if theyve been preparing for a day like this

Huft

Not only did he sigh spontaneously, he started to have a headache.

Above all, he wanted to avoid this kind of twist.

It was just yesterday that I had an hour of rest thanks to Lee Hoyeol

From emergency updates to regular updates.

It was just a bunch of nonsense

But they had to do something.

Click clack

Yoon Sookyum said, tapping on the keyboard.

First of all, I guess some of the players will move.

When you said they will move, do you mean they will approach Muon?

Hn, they seem to be players who transferred jobs in the Goddess Church.

Oh, thats possible, isnt it?

Thats right. Theyre on their side, though.

So, wouldnt it be possible to have a conversation to a certain extent?

However, he didnt expect much. As he said, the misunderstanding seemed very deep and old. He could tell just by looking at the paladins sharp warning.

They said it was an arrangement?

Yoon Sookyom reflected on their words.

They definitely said they were waiting for Judgment Day.'

Naturally, he didnt know what Judgment Day was.

The only thing that could be known from the horn declaration was who the saintess was.

[Saintess, Freiza].

From the days when Arcana was just a game.

She was a figure who was considered to be a symbol of the Goddess.

Where should I look?

To know what Judgment Day and her arrangements were.

He needed to look up her settings.

Yoon Sookyum accessed the AAU database.

Even if its simple, there should be some information left.

He searched for information about the saintess, Freiza.

However, no search results came up.

Yoon Sookyum was startled.

This doesnt make sense

Freiza was an NPC that existed from the time when Arcana was just a game.

She was also an important NPC who was a saintess of the Goddess Church.

This couldnt be.

Yoon Sookyum accessed the company messenger.

Even if there are no records left, it should remain in the memory card.

Well, just like the Demon King Decarabia.

At least the person in charge of Freizas settings should know something.

There seemed to be some employees who thought similarly to Yoon Sookyum.

They were already inquiring about information about Freiza.

Click clack

Clack

Tak

Soon, Yoon Sookyums finger stopped moving.

He opened his mouth in a low voice.

Its not here.

Yes? What isnt here? Ah, caffeine? Do you want me to buy you a drink?

No. Its not that.

He continued speaking with a mesmerized look.

There is not a single person who planned the saintess, Freiza.

*

Freiza.

Saintess of the Goddess Church.

She had been a famous NPC since Arcana was a game

Well, in the past, I would have just assumed she was an Arcanain and moved on.

I saw that it said saint instead of saintess in the quest window, so I would have wondered if there was a typo. Rather, I would have gotten suspicious of the quest.

But I knew.

After the Cataclysm.

It had only been a few years since ruptures began to appear.

The existence of demons had already been cleverly hidden in reality and society.

It must be even worse the Arcana continent, which was the home of demons.

Even 10 years ago, when I played Arcana. Wasnt there a quest to hunt demons that possessed humans?

So, I had serious doubts.

Isnt Freiza, the saintess, is the demon?

Lets say this was the Arcana continent.

If I had said those thoughts out loud.

One of every three people would have thrown stones at me.

From the point of view of the Goddess Church, there would be nothing more blasphemous.

But unfortunately.

Im already more than half sure.

Above all, it was stated in the class quest.

A saint existed, but a saintess didnt.

And at this moment.

Muons attitude deepened my doubts.

Waiting for Judgment Day on Muon

Indeed.

Even if I tried to be open-minded.

Even if I looked at quests without prejudice.

Grandfels pride couldnt understand it.

Goddess Church.

Even though they had so many believers.

And even though they trained tens of thousands of amazing paladins. Why did they wait until the continent was wrecked by the demons?

Were they just sucking their fingers at Muon? Just waiting for Judgment Day.

It was the saint, Freiza, who encouraged the outrageous act.

Noblesse Oblige.

How could Grandfels pride tolerate such a behavior?

I recited indifferently.

That irresponsible behavior is proof that God doesnt exist.

In any case, I needed to find out the truth.

I needed to track the movements of the Goddess Church on the Arcana continent.

I didnt about other players, but it wasnt difficult for me.

It was the saintess arrangement, they said?

Yeah, I also had an arrangement.

I had an informant planted in the Arcana continent.

The spirit of the forest, nymph.

Id have to head to a rupture to summon the nymph.

Come to think of it, there was a rupture created by this update.

I checked the update history.
