Chapter 114: Naming (2)
Chapter 114: Naming (2)
The once-concluded situation of the Holy Land, Muon.
The time bomb, which was about to explode, was lifted.
Everyone was guessing that attacking the player, Gyver, was just the beginning. There was also a possibility of a war that would take place around Muon.
But, there, the Chief Mage of the Mage Tower!
But with the unexpected involvement of the Mage Tower.
Muon opened the gate as if it had never happened.
And the appearance of an unexpected tentacle monster.
The rapidly changing situation of Muon was vividly conveyed by the players.
[The paladins attack the fortress]
[Views: 132,407,117]
Tens of thousands of paladins.
The sight of them running towards the tentacle was literally spectacular.
So was it necessary to explain further? The image of Hoyeol leading the paladins with just hand gestures.
When I think about that time, I still feel overwhelmed.
Only those who have seen it know. That feeling.
Its a pity that I cant disclose the video as I want. Seriously.
Of course, the main character of the video was Hoyeol.
No matter how crazy the Nettubers were about the number of views and aggro.
Just recklessly pushing ahead.
If they uploaded a video of Hoyeol at a time like this, they would get hit by a backlash, asking if they had gotten permission from Hoyeol to upload.
The video of Hoyeol couldnt be released without asking for Hoyeols permission.
But how many people had watched that scene live?
So many players and viewers spoke in unison.
Lee Hoyeol, he was really on a different level.
Tens of thousands of lives were in his hands! If it were me, I wouldnt know what to do because of the pressure He seemed to have no hesitation in his actions.
But I think he could have hunted alone without the paladins. Did you see him freeze that huge mass of tentacles at once?
So what is that skill? Huh? Its a high-level magic that even ice mages dont know about? There really is no end. Does this mean that he didnt become a chief mage for no reason?
It wasnt just that.
After the battle.
The conversation between Hoyeol and the leader of the paladins of the Goddess Church also became a hot topic.
Commander of the paladins, Talim Ever.
He used to say hostile things to humanity.
Not only he had kneeled politely in front of Hoyeol.
He suddenly put down his voice He said he would take full responsibility!
No, he didnt just say that he would take responsibility
He said he would be responsible for the judgment, didnt he?
What kind of conversation is that???
He declared that he would take responsibility and further judgment.
The impact was bound to be greater than the battle shown by Hoyeol.
But perhaps because of the crowd.
Hoyeol and Talim moved places.
It was unknown what kind of conversation had been held since then.
But one thing was certain.
In the end, Lee Hoyeol did it again this time.
Hoyeol had done it.
Well, if it werent for Hoyeol just now.
If he hadnt stepped up and got rid of the tentacles.
The lives of the players who entered Muon.
There was no guarantee that they would have been safe.
Some people noticed it earlier than anyone else.
It was Nam Taemin, Leonie and Hisagi.
Did you see that? We dont have time to worry about Hoyeol-ssi, we just need to do our best!
I dont know if I can keep up with that level, but
Now, shut up. The break is over. I cant afford to rest like this.
Whats with you? You were the one making the biggest fuss just now.
Made fuss? Who? When? Me?! Damn it. Its not true!
Hoyeol didnt need their help at the moment.
Because they trusted Hoyeol.
They could just focus on growth even in the crisis of Muon.
Jessie Heinness situation was not much different.
Even that ice magic! As expected, hes amazing!
Hoyeols state could only be revealed to those who knew.
It was the pointed hat who was more agonized than Jessie.
The pointed hat rattled and made a fuss.
I didnt know he had already reached the state. You have a long way to go, disciple.
Also, that fact.
There were some who felt it more painfully than anyone else.
It was AAU.
They came to a conclusion at the branch meeting.
The crisis of Muon has made it clear. Arcanas update is beyond the realm of our AAUs prediction and preparation.
Silence
Actually, theyd realized this long before.
From the time when monsters that didnt exist in the database appeared.
No, looking back, it probably started when demon-type monsters appeared in the rupture.
Someone said with a bitter taste in their mouth.
Isnt it obvious in a way? We were overwhelmed even when Arcana was just a game. Now that it has become another world, it is impossible to predict the flow of the Arcana continent.
AAU was well aware of their role.
This why why their incompetence became even more painful.
Someone else said.
The official announcement seems to be coming soon.
Official announcement.
To let the world know the limits of AAU.
The aftermath was hard to imagine.
Even now, there were a lot of players waiting for AAUs information.
But it was impossible to hide it forever.
The gloomy meeting ended.
Park Minjae, the head of AAUs South Korean branch, took a deep breath.
Is there a way out for humanity to survive?
He recalled his past as a developer of Arcana.
Even if it was not serviced at the time, there were many contents that were scheduled to be serviced at some point.
There was no need to cite many examples.
Just one, dragon.
Yeah, even just dragon.
Wont it show itself someday?
In a rupture, in reality.
Park Minjae thought about humanity confronting the dragon.
He drew a simulation.
I worked hard to develop it only for it to end up useless.
Huft
All he could do was sigh.
Even if players leveled up and humanity moved its armies, all that remained was defeat. Or just a victory no different from a defeat.
But Park Minjae knew.
A way out that he had witnessed.
The only possibility.
Lee Hoyeol.
It was Player Lee Hoyeol.
Even AAU couldnt be sure about anything about it. Lee Hoyeols level, as well as his class. However, he could guess from the steps Hoyeol had shown.
How far does he know?
Even in the case of the Muon incident.
Didnt Hoyeol act as if he had known everything?
Above all, human couldnt hide their emotion. The proof was that Hoyeols expression didnt change despite the sudden appearance of the mass of tentacles.
It gives hope even to a bitter realist like me.
The reason people were crazy about Lee Hoyeol.
He felt like he knew why.
Soon, Park Minjae lifted his shoulders.
Yes. Shouldnt we should go as far as that hope goes?
Yeah.
It was not the time to weigh the possibilities.
In the end, it was all or nothing.
Park Minjae was also ready to do whatever it took.
What Park Minjae could do was simple.
To the only hope, to Hoyeol.
He had to deliver information that might be helpful.
However.
In AAU, numerous interests of each country are already intertwined. AAU cannot take the lead. Plus, providing insider information to just one player Even if its Lee Hoyeol. There will be plenty of people who will oppose it for the purpose of keeping Korea in check.
Nevertheless.
Didnt Park Minjae already make a promise?
From now on, he wouldnt hesitate.
Therefore.
From here on, it is a breakaway that puts the pride of an individual, Park Minjae, at stake.
Of course, the breakaway didnt seem easy from the first step.
Anyway, talking alone with Lee Hoyeol isnt enough That means I might continue to keep in touch with him in the future.
Those cold eyes.
That feisty manner.
Lee Hoyeol was a man whom those persistent reporters and Nettubers feared.
Park Minjae ended up spitting out another groan.
Lets fucking do it. Looks like Im going to start receiving etiquette education again at the age of fifty. I need to get rid of my habit first
Suddenly, he grabbed two people passing by and asked.
Hey, Sukyoom. And. Yes! Employee Sung Hyunjoon.
Yes? Branch Manager Park.
Im asking just in case. Am I a boomer?
Yes? All of a sudden, w-what do you mean?
Uh-huh. Only yes or no to the questions I asked. Am I a boomer?
Of course, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
*
It was a new feeling, but it was a little unfair.
I didnt even sleep that long.
Somehow, the speed at which time passed day by day was unusual.
Drip
I bet one of the causes was this physical exercise.
Even if the class quest changed, it always occupied the first goal.
[Class quest: Akshans Annihilation]
Annihilation of Akshan and the demon hunters.
The last demon hunter.
Dig up the truth about the holy war.
Train your weakened body. (Repeat)
- 30 KM runs (Success)
- 2,000 push-ups (Success)
- 1,000 pull-ups (Success)
- 500 burpee Tests (In Progress)
The [strength] and [agility] stats were the same as the level.
The higher the absolute number was.
The amount of training to raise one point changed.
The quest goal was always at a level that took my breath away.
Its easy.
Bullshit.
I almost fainted a few times today, it was just a bluff.
The only thing that improved from before was the medicine.
I could get help from bi-herbal medicine.
Clink
I lifted up the teacup.
But proper rest is also helpful for muscle growth.
The ice water wasnt enough, I even added hot tea.
This tasted like death.
But it was good for the body, so I held it in.
I had to eat this because my body would survive.
I checked my next quest goal while catching my breath.
Identify the forces involved in the Holy War. (In Progress)
- Meet the Saint of the Goddess Church. (Success)
- Identify the true nature of the Goddess Church. (Success)
- Hunt the demon disguised as the Saintess of the Goddess Church. (In Progress)
- Identify the original sin of the Mage Tower. (Success)
All goals related to the Goddess Church were successful.
But the quest [Akshans Annihilation] wasnt over yet.
That meant the forces that attacked Akshan still remained. Suddenly, a thought occurred to me.
The demon hunters all had eccentric personalities.
Well, thats right.
Isnt there a saying that when you stare into the abyss.
The abyss stares back at you.
Especially at the training ground, there were no demons.
There was no saying that suited the demon hunters better than that.
The days when Arcana was just a game. The attitude of demon hunters, compared to friendly NPCs, was notorious even among players.
I cant believe I thought it was cool. This damn preference.
Of course, that hadnt mattered to me at the time.
Anyway, did they get stabbed in the back simply because they were mean?
No matter how unlikely it was, the possibility existed.
This too must be a trick of the lowly race.
In the end, it was probably because of the demons.
Since the saintess of the Goddess Church, the largest religion on the Arcana continent, was a demon.
It was safe to say that there was no area or force that was safe from the devilish demons.
In that case, my break wasnt long.
Clink
I put down the teacup.
I had to complete the 5000 burpee tests.
To make the overestimation come true.
Also to move forward.
I must not stop struggling even if just for a moment.
.
.
.
Of course, there was good news for me, who struggled day and night.
Senior mage of spirit school, Peiyan Lot.
The letter she delivered on parchment.
I unexpectedly received great help from those lines.
[Shelter of Toxic Spores]
[Recommended level: Lv.350]
[Collapse progress: 0.1%]
I entered the rupture.
It was a common rupture that was created on a daily basis and wasnt specified in the update.
Considering my level and the recommended level of this rupture, it would be difficult to raise my level even if I hunted hundreds of monsters that appeared.
But my purpose was not to level up.
I opened my mouth.
Haiel.
My mana escaped in an instant.
Goo
Soon, the nymph appeared in the air.
That too, with Grandfels sense of esthetic.
A nymph with a flawless appearance.
Indeed.
I named the nymph according to the information Peiyan had given me.
Because my knowledge of spiritology was only at the surface level.
I didnt know that a name had such a meaning to a spirit.
According to Peiyan.
To a spirit, a name was like a vessel.
Because I kept calling her the nymph after the contract.
Even though the nymph accomplished the incredible feat of sprouting the World Tree and met the conditions to be reborn as a unique spirit, she only changed in a superficial way!
I was relieved when I found out.
It wasnt because my mana has a negative effect.
But it was too soon for me to be relieved.
I had overlooked it.
[Name: Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo]
My naming sense that created that bizarre name.
The nymph gave an elegant greeting.
Haiel has answered your call.
Indeed.
Haiel.
To be exact, it was Haiel Chrysiad Four Seasons Leaf.
A full name as long as Grandfels.
That was the name I gave the nymph!
Damn it.
Every time I called out Haiels name, I felt something indescribable. Naturally, I didnt express it.
I shamelessly asked Haiel about her business first.
What is the situation of the Arcana continent?
Haiels report continued immediately.
As I listened in silence, I was soon able to escape the indescribable emotions. It was because I suddenly caught a glimpse of a possibility when I heard the news from Haiel.
If thats the case, maybe
It could lead to the next regular update?
