The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 49: But, hiding is useless (3)

Chapter 49. But, hiding is useless (3)

Bam!

No wonder Baek Yi-seols pride was cracked.

The unexpected answer made him feel like his self-esteem had dropped.

Moreover, he was surrounded by people.

Lowly humans getting on his nerves.

Wow. That must be incredibly embarrassing.

You want me to hold your face? Ill get a close-up when you turn around.

By the way, that knight is beautiful. Shall I ask his name later, brothers?

The succubus gritted his teeth.

How dare you ?

Me, a mere human subject?

Lee Ho-yeol.

I felt like tearing him to pieces.

But the succubus was clever.

Shed kept the fact that she was a demon a secret all this time.

She could barely hide her expression.

I cant help it, Ill be back sooner or later.

The succubus grinned at Yessica and turned away.

Todays the day to be cocky.

Yes, twists are only as good as their drama.

Even if it wasnt the right time.

As long as you confront yourself.

Its only a matter of time before Lee Ho-yeol falls in love.

Enjoy everything while you can.

Whether its Lee Ho-yeol, the Yusra Kingdom, or this cheeky woman.

Eventually, youll be on your knees in front of my nightmares.

But that was only the succubuss illusion.

A mere slap on the face.

My revenge had only just begun.

Politics, society, sports, entertainment.

The different sections of a newspaper cover different topics.

Naturally, the topics covered are different.

But there was one person who was on the front page at the same time.

It was Master Baek Yi Seol of the Shinhwa Guild.

For the first time in his life, Baek was able to understand politics and society.

Rep. Park Sambong, It is regrettable that the negotiations were not smooth Shinhwas growth can be seen as Koreas growth.

[Exclusive] Ministry of Trade and Industry official, The trickle-down effect is a proven theory The Korean economy will only survive if Shinhwa Guild lives.

From being a chaebol group to reaching out to guilds.

Shinhwa has been a regular on the political and social pages.

But I never thought Id see them on the front page.

[Exclusive] Baek Yi-seol, Defeated in the Opposition? Will Femme Fatale Collapse?

A humiliating title, with a photo!

There was no picture of Baek Yi-seol in the article.

Baek Yi Seols backside is shown in front of the Golden Palace.

And the brief, short limbs underneath.

The moment of the seventh doorstop.

This is a much different look than in front of the photo line.

Passing the third gate smoothly.

He was running towards the 10th gate.

It was a pitiful back view.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of sympathy for Baek Yi-seol.

-Cant wait to see what happens next.

-I thought it would be like this.

-Karma is coming back to you, man.

-Justice is served

Yes, everything was karma.

Baek Yi-seols pupils turned black.

And what youre accumulating is also karma.

Lee Ho-yeol!

The humiliation of being a demon who had been humiliated by humans so many times.

And the humiliation of being a succubus, equally crumpled.

The humiliation of having his pride crushed by a ship.

When she thought of this shame, his concealed demonic side tried to burst out, just like now. But she couldnt hold it in forever.

Today is the day I will make you pay for your karma.

It had become strong enough to overpower a high-level demon.

His Boiling Demon nature had also grown stronger.

The succubus could barely contain the malice that flowed from him.

He headed for the Golden Palace.

Rejected again today?

It didnt matter.

Today, she would wait for Lee Ho-yeol, for him to show himself.

She wouldnt be bored waiting.

Ill have a snowball fight with the arrogant assistant.

I promised myself.

Ill show you around.

I wasnt even expecting it.

As you can see, I entered the golden palace.

The corner of the succubuss mouth turned up.

I see youre impatient, though I dont know why.

Indeed.

Lee Ho Yeol, he was just a foolish human.

At the thought of taking his energy, a barely suppressed demonic energy began to leak out.

But theres no point in suppressing it any longer, were almost there.

You may enter.

Quack.

Yessica bowed and stepped back.

The succubus immediately knocked on the door.

I cant stand it!

A moment, a surge of thirst.

She opened the door before he could answer.

She stood face to face with Ho-Yeol.

His posture straight, not an inch out of place.

Ho-Yeol sat at his desk.

He didnt even look up.

You opened the door before I could answer.

The cold voice continued.

So impolite.

Wait, something is wrong.

The succubus suddenly realized something was wrong.

But then he locked eyes with Lee Ho-Yeol.

Creepy.

From head to toe.

A stiffening sensation.

It was the first fear he had ever felt in his life.

!

An arrogant gaze that made him feel humiliated.

Lee Ho-yeol was looking down at him.

Clearly.

For a moment, my head went white.

Could it be that he realized he was a demon and brought me here?

No, it cant be!

We have to get away before he realizes.

Ill use mesmerization to buy time.

Wait, wait, wait! Why arent you mesmerized?

The succubus is frozen in place.

The voice of his nemesis rang in his ears.

Indeed, a lowly demon.

.

.

.

I was puzzled.

It was the same for Nam Tae-min.

In fact, it was too much even for us who recently joined. No matter how much they lobbied, they are not noblemen who will openly push them to the point of being insulted. Those serpentine nobles?

Because thats where the political system is.

Its nepotism, its delay, its blood.

Its that kind of behavior to cut and run.

I think theres definitely something there, but. I cant figure it out on my end, so I feel like Ive put Mr. Ho-Yeol through a lot of trouble, and Im sorry, really.

Nam Tae-min politely apologized.

But in hindsight, it was no wonder they couldnt figure it out.

Baek Yi-seol was possessed by a demon.

Who would have thought?

Even I didnt know.

If only I knew.

I wouldnt have sent her back so many times.

A demon still breathing and walking around?

Leaving aside childish revenge, the setting of the Grandfell does exists.

I could not have stood by and watched.

[Skill, Natural Enemy is activated].

Yeah, if it wasnt for that message.

I would have never known.

It was just a split second.

It was a split second.

Its like, You didnt do a very good job of hiding it.

So it started to make sense.

The relationship between the Shinhwa Guild and the politicians was a mystery to me.

What if its more than just the demons?

Its more like dealing with civilians who arent even players.

It would be a no-brainer.

That was my backup plan.

Again, again, again.

The sound of footsteps getting louder and louder.

At the same time, a message pops up again.

[Skill, Natural Enemies is activated].

Second-guessing is the devil.

The moment when a guess becomes a certainty.

Knock-knock-knock.

The door opened at the same time as the knock.

You open the door before I can answer, so impolite.

I opened my mouth, feather pen in hand.

I scribbled down the basic theory of black magic.

Only after Id put a period at the end of the sentence did I look up.

Sure enough, I could see Baek Yi Seols pitch-black pupils.

Indeed, a lowly devil.

He sat upright at his desk.

Still holding the feather pen in his hand, he said so.

What a pretentious attitude he must have had.

Not so long ago.

But at least not now.

The moment their gazes met.

It was Baek Yi Seol who was trembling.

A natural enemy.

Natural Enemy: Increases combat power by leaps and bounds when battling demons.

I realized the effectiveness of the skill, which I had forgotten about for a while.

Especially since I was a completely different player before and after defeating the Great Evil.

It wasnt just a matter of leveling.

I gained 50 levels in one fell swoop after defeating the Great Evil Seven Sins of Greed.

Thats not to mention the growth that cant be explained by levels, skills, or numbers.

Not to mention his magical manifestation, which he developed by studying magical texts in a magic tower.

Black magic, although only at a beginners level.

As if that werent enough, he also trained in swordsmanship.

So, once again, Ive dragged in everything I dont have.

Whatever.

All that growth has become my combat power!

I could feel that my combat strength had increased by leaps and bounds due to the effects of the [Natural Enemy Relationship]. The demon in Baek Yi-Seol body must have felt the same.

wh, what are you talking about?

I cant believe Im blabbing now.

I couldnt even understand it.

It happened for a reason.

I can see why she kept trying to meet with me despite the humiliation.

I can see why he wanted to meet with me despite his humiliation.

It was a plan to weaken me in order to take over the Yusra kingdom.

But Im sorry you had to suffer.

I am a wary man who does not mix unnecessary words with my prey.

Shhh.

Instant magic.

No complicated interference required.

There was an immense gap in weight between me and him.

The gap is such that I dont need to consume any demonic items for the [Demonic Ritual].

[Skill, Demonic Ritual is activated].

All you need.

A basic effect that only damages demons.

You dont even need to invite him to the ritual.

Not even a mental battle.

This is ridiculous!!!

Thats because she was already terrified.

Im not a mid-level demon anymore, Im a high-level demon, maybe even stronger than that, but how! How could a human not fall for my temptation!

She looked disbelieving.

A high-level demon?

A pride that never falters in the presence of great evil.

Even if you bring the Devil with you.

This regal demeanor would not change in the slightest.

But I didnt answer.

Not even to explain the story to a lowly demon.

Grandfell was not kind.

Out of thin air came thousands. No, tens of thousands.

No, immeasurable, countless silver daggers.

[Pure Silver Fiber]

[Rank: Magic]

[Limitations: None]

[Effect: None]

[Description: It looks like fur, but its essence is pure silver. Since it is silver, its absolute value is not great, but it may become highly valued depending on its use].

This is also my struggle that cannot be used for nothing.

A monster you defeated during your sword training.

It was an ingredient item obtained from a Silver Mane Leopard.

I explored the material item and discovered the possibility of using it as a weapon.

Realizing that possibility.

A creative manifestation of magic that no [skill] can match.

Sigh.

Every hair on my body became a weapon.

There was no reason to waste material items.

Just like the silver dagger.

I could return it to its original state with Reversal Magic.

There was no need to hesitate.

Ill do it!

Tens of thousands of silver daggers rushed towards Baek Yi-Seol.

These were material items with no attack power.

Their destructive power would depend solely on my magic power.

Therefore, I didnt think it would end in a single blow.

Really, thats what I thought.

Aaah, aaah!

Gulp

Until Baek Yi Seol crumpled to the ground.

At first, I wanted to put on an act.

And yet, you say youre an high-level demon?

Even if you say Ive grown rapidly.

The magic I just cast wasnt even a proper offensive magic.

It was just a simple alchemy-based control.

So I had my doubts.

I wondered if you were being a despicable demon and playing dead.

But no.

[Leveled up].

[Leveled up].

[Leveled up].

Because a message in my mind was telling me.

That it was indeed a high-level demon that had taken over Baek Yi Seols body.

That I had grown to the point where I could defeat such a high-level demon.

I was dumbfounded.

Wait. What level is this?
