The Successor of the Underworld is a Cheat Player

The Successor To The Underworld Is A Cheat Player 84

“…I apologize. Some might have glimpsed it subtly, but there are none who have clearly expressed it.”

It was regrettable.

Though the 3rd Legion members were considered modest in origin and status, they were individuals whose skills were acknowledged.

To think that only these two could be harvested from them.

“Seems like only fools think that way.”

“……”

“It can’t be helped. Can we make room for Sienjin?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Tsk.”

Useless bunch.

In fact, among the Three Powerless, Sienjin was the most valuable.

His exceptional talent from the East was indeed a talent, but maintaining proper decorum in this messy underworld was not a common talent.

“Is it true that he cured the Ganadric disease?”

Rumors spread that Sienjin cured the Ganadric disease afflicting his mother.

“It seems so.”

Upon hearing this rumor, Demorus was even more agitated.

Demorus valued power, and there were many from the East. Among their families, quite a few suffered from the Ganadric disease, yet neither Demorus nor anyone on the continent had provided a solution for it.

But if Sein did possess the ability to cure Ganadric disease.

“It’s risky.”

It was said that there were still many who would follow Sein.

His abilities were unlikely.

“The Legion’s witch, is she the one.”

Tampia finished her thoughts and rose to her feet.

“Thank goodness.”

As Tampia stood up, her captivating figure became even more pronounced.

“I have your loyal service to me.”

“…?”

“Can you promise me that?”

Tampia wrapped her arms around Cheves and Herzor.

“I will do anything you want when I wish.”

Gulp.

“If I do that, I might be able to give you something good in return.”

A fruit that should never be tempted.

However.

“Very well….”

The temptation that even the primordial humans couldn’t resist.

“My level is around the late 10s.”

Sein calculated his level based on the number of times he had entered the main dungeon.

“Awakened special abilities.”

The abilities he acquired in that way.

He still couldn’t fully integrate them.

What was once familiar now intertwined with the laws of reality, making it difficult to manifest.

Swiftly.

Sein was deep in meditation with his eyes closed.

-Meditation is helpful.

What used to be merely a series of eating behaviors during the game was now showing actual effects in reality.

Things that were not a problem in the early stages of not awakening the special abilities began to pose issues as the abilities awakened and became ingrained.

“…….”

Sein’s face contorted in agony.

The awakened special abilities were like monstrous beings, clashing with each other, fighting, or trying to devour one another.

“Gh.”

It twisted Sein completely, causing him intense suffering.

Meditation was being used to calm and organize the awakened special abilities within Sein.

During this process, Sein also checked his own condition.

‘Bastion.’

The usable equipment he possessed.

‘Rogue.’

Ego.

And.

-Tezera.

He remembered the guardian of Demorus.

Comparing himself to the monster that seemed to grow stronger every time he saw it.

Sein, who was already easily capable of facing a Master-level opponent, felt like a sturdy dwarf compared to the colossal giant Tezera, who emerged in the darkness.

If he were a culprit, one would never think of being able to reach it.

But Sein was not a culprit.

‘I need to prioritize leveling up.’

There is a way to reach there.

‘Leveling up will become more difficult from level 20, so I should aim to achieve it first.’

Many things will change from level 20 onwards.

‘I also need to acquire more equipment.’

In this type of game, equipment is an essential means of leveling up.

Furthermore.

Sha-ah.

Things needed.

Things to be equipped with.

The path to be taken.

Thinking about all of these, Sein was sinking deeper into meditation.

How much time had passed.

“This is….”

Sein, who had opened his eyes without realizing it.

“What now. Damn it.”

In the vivid darkness, a giant crimson iris in the sky was gazing down at him.

It was so vivid that it felt unreal, like a dream.

Crack.

It was a sense of reality that didn’t even allow such thoughts.

Sein slowly parted his lips.

“At last.”

It felt like a moment he had been waiting for an eternity.

“Have you decided to converse?”

Among the things that had been imposed upon him, there were two that were not by his own will.

The crimson iris was one of them.

“Maryong, Archipald.”

It was the heart of Archipald.

[Watching you squirm is quite amusing, I must say.]

Instead of a voice, something resembling a system message appeared in front of Sein’s eyes.

“……”

Sein’s expression sank.

There was certainly a secret with Archipald.

A secret that even he, who had poured his life into Chutuary for decades, didn’t know.

[But how long will this continue?]

The eyes that once gleamed with kindness were now tainted with boredom.

[You must be feeling that your time is running out.]

“……”

“Do you think everything will go as you wish?”

He asked.

“What is your purpose?”

But it was Sein who asked instead.

The greatest discomfort Sein felt was the unknown.

To unknowingly carry something within oneself, without knowing its purpose and intent, is nothing but a bomb.

Especially if it’s a power of a transcendent being beyond Sein’s control.

“You’re not ready to hear that yet.”

Archipald said.

“But you will know.”

“Stop beating around the bush….”

“This is not the Chutuary you knew.”

“….!”

It was again.

That tone, as if knowing all the truths.

“Now that the tutorial is finally over.”

Uttering words that the beings of this world would never speak.

[The Beginning]

He banished Sein from his thoughts.

Rumors spreading across the continent naturally reached Demorus as well.

Demorus, who wouldn’t usually be swayed by mere rumors.

“Take your seats.”

The rumors spreading across the continent were significant enough to convene Demorus’s council.

Swish.

Under the lord’s command, everyone took their seats today.

“Report.”

The lord’s command echoed once more.

“I am Second Information Officer Falcon.”

A middle-aged man amidst the gathered, explaining himself.

His face was nothing special, making it highly unlikely to be his real face.

As an information officer directly operated by Demorus, the quality of treatment was exceptionally high, and the credibility was also significant.

To the extent of knowing what undergarments the Emperor of the Empire wore today.

“I will now explain the agenda for today’s council meeting.”

That’s what Falcon said.

“The Holy Sword has appeared.”

“…!”

With just one word, chaos erupted in the hall.

It was the rumor everyone had heard.

-There is a Holy Sword in Sector 7.

However, everyone dismissed it as a baseless rumor due to its weak and groundless nature, until Falcon mentioned it directly.

“Ahem.”

If it was a Holy Sword, it was not something easily overlooked in Demorus.

At the very least, an item on the level of legend, perhaps even approaching myth.

“If it’s a Holy Sword, what is it?”

“We couldn’t ascertain that much.”

If Falcon didn’t obtain it, no one else would know either.

“Ha, a Holy Sword at this time.”

A Holy Sword known to have disappeared after the Empire’s fall.

While some were identified as being in possession of them, most vanished along with the Empire’s collapse.

The value of a Holy Sword was tremendous.

Not only did the Holy Sword possess functional aspects, but its symbolic significance was also immense.

-Bringing together three Holy Swords could change the course of history.

Just tales floating between generations were of that caliber.

“It must be seized.”

Second Commander of the Military, Joh Han, said.

Known for pledging allegiance solely to Demorus without anyone else’s support.

“2nd Information Officer, what is the reason for your certainty regarding the rumor?”

“That.”

Palco said.

“Palladin has moved.”

“…!”

Just the Holy Sword alone would be astonishing, but now the name Palladin was mentioned.

“Who?”

Palladin, the highest Holy Knight of the Order.

In the past, their reputation was high, but now it had turned into a notorious one.

For the persecuted followers of the Order, the Paladins who had forsaken the principles of immortality slaughtered tens of thousands of people.

If the Three Dark Families had not intervened to deal with them, the Order might still have a presence in the world.

“If they were Palladins, they would have all died during the Dark Crusade.”

“…I believe it’s a new Palladin.”

The appearance of a new Paladin, unseen until now.

And the Holy Sword.

“Hmm.”

At this moment, everyone present felt the unusual movement of the Order.

“Ga-Ju, what will you do?”

The messengers asked Tejera.

“Currently, the Imperial Knights have departed, and the Immortal moved yesterday.”

“Vincent?”

“Silent.”

It was not Vincent’s family matter, so he might not be actively involved.

Those interested in the Holy Sword would all move.

“We take action.”

The heavy voice of Tejera resonated.

Thud.

The messengers bowed their heads and knelt.

This was an opportunity to gain great power.

Who exactly would participate in the recovery of the Holy Sword?

And.

“Jagar is going.”

The successor candidate was chosen.

***

The contest for the Holy Sword was an opportunity to gain great power as much as it was a great risk.

High risk, high return.

But in Demorus, there was no one thinking about the risk.

“That snake’s eyeing it, right?”

Only Return.

Those who believed that the word “failure” could not be attached to the name Demorus.

“Yes. It is a matter decided by the governor.”

Sein tasted the bitterness.

“The Holy Sword.”

Rumors had already been circulating.

Fortunately, information was being gathered through Otomeo and others in the lower areas.

“Demorus is Demorus.”

The information about Demorus had spread in just a few days, bringing only accurate facts.

Clang.

Even now, Bastion was hanging from Sein’s waist.

Since there weren’t many swords that could contain Sein’s magic, when it came time to fight properly, Bastion was drawn.

“What a shame.”

Bastion’s performance was among the lowest even among the holy swords.

Originally, what Sein had discarded as useless was precisely Bastion.

“If I were to step forward?”

“Death sentence.”

“Hah.”

Sein let out a bitter laugh.

Ferio said, “As it was commanded by the governor, it is an order issued by the governor.”

Tejera’s command.
