Chapter 228: Didn't I tell you?
[Class quest: Summoning All Dragons]
The old dragon shouted.
The great family has returned to the Arcana Continent.
Every dragon wants to find out the truth of the case.
Witness the dragons gathering on the continent. (Select)
Skals dragon knight class quest.
It definitely stated the great family.
There were some very uncomfortable words written there.
When I found out about it, I desperately denied it.
How could there be only one great family in the Arcana Continent? There was no way the Claudie family existed. Even now that I thought about it, it was an extremely understandable reaction.
However.
Crazy.
The possibility that I desperately denied.
It seemed to be the reality.
I noticed only because of that moment.
That very day.
The transcendent on a broom.
Assuming she brought up the name Claudie.
The whole situation would make sense.
The reason why Eunaxus suddenly mentioned a great family.
The reason why Gluttony brought up the name Claudie.
Last but not least.
That mess was sorted out.
I respect you, second-year middle school Hoyeol.
What on earth were you imagining?
What kind of settings did you take and put on him?
When they heard that Claudie was back, the dragons gathered all of their members and held a meeting. And not only the demon king, the great evil even moved too, and the elves and the transcendent also turned away!!
A common drama story came to mind.
A story about a person who was revealed to be the hidden child of a chaebol family and became the heir.
Broadly speaking, wasnt that the same thing for me?
However, I wasnt really happy at all.
I was busy sweating inside.
Grandfel alone is already overwhelming
What would happen to me if the Claudie family existed?
Even now, the pride of the last survivor of Akshan, the pride of the chief of the Mage Tower, the pride of the general manager of the Yusra branch, and the pride of the youngest son of a wealthy family I was suffering from all kinds of pride.
Adding the pride of the fallen Claudie family on top of that?
Do it in moderation, Grandfel!
Please stop the dark history
Still, should I call it a blessing in disguise?
I felt like I had a connection with Grandfel there.
Indeed, thats foolish.
Those were not words to the Demon King, Andras.
Those were meant for Gluttony, who had taken hold of the demon king.
I continued coldly.
Was it an attempt to peek into the past through superficial means?
Gluttony, he was clever befitting of a great evil.
However, because I was a demon hunter, I knew the nature of demons better than anyone else.
Gluttony wouldnt have trusted anyone.
Because demons were beings that were unable to trust others.
He probably didnt believe that Claudie was back.
That was why he sent out the demon king first.
He didnt want to go around shouting the name Claudie.
To put it simply, he intended to throw a bait.
However.
It is not a past that can be seen by an inferior race.
Do you really think I am going to readily acknowledge my past, my dark history?
Do you think I have anything to show you?
Moreover, once Grandfel said something, he always kept it.
It had been declared with Grandfels mouth.
I wont believe it until I see it with my own eyes.
With my own eyes.
Until I witnessed the evidence that the Claudie family was real.
Even if the dragons were making an uproar.
Even if the elves, the transcendent, and the great evil were wreaking havoc.
I would never believe it.
Andras opened his beak.
Andras has been using the more formal and high-handed way I to refer to himself. Its probably the Korean equivalent of Japanese ore-sama (which more or less literally translates to the great me). In this sentence, he switched from formal I to ordinary I.
In the exorcism ritual, demons didnt have all of their senses.
Even trivial magic might appear great to them.
In that regard, how did Andras view me now?
For your information, I am quite angry.
This time, Grandfels heart must be more like a sword. It was only natural. The Claudie family, whether they were real or not.
He was the heir to a great family, but that family was ruined by the demons. The only survivor of the family, Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo, hereinafter referred to as Grandfel
It was a story that should never be taken lightly.
Shut up.
Even though it might not seem obvious from the outside.
If you looked at the right mana that flowed more roughly than usual.
You would be able to understand how Grandfel felt.
So, unfortunately, Andras.
Demon king.
Level 888 demon boss monster.
I didnt have to stain the ethereal iron with blood.
I didnt have to put effort into manifesting grand magic.
I just had to suffocate Andras with the right mana.
Because I had grown.
I supposed I had forgotten because it had been a while since I met a demon again.
This was what a natural enemy relationship was like.
[Death occurs to the Demon King, Andras.]
I said it coldly.
Ask for forgiveness in hell.
Of course, I didnt mean he should ask it to me.
He had to ask it to the lives of the Arcana continent that he had trampled on.
Well, our Akshan sunbaenims probably wouldnt leave him alone.
[Your level has gone up]
[Your level has gone up]
[Your level has gone up]
*
The Demon King, Andras, was eliminated early.
The moment when the Holy War Allied Force disposed of the last remnants of the demon army.
A message also appeared in the players field of vision.
[Youve cleared the Demon Kings Castle of Conflict.]
Clear message.
What it meant was simple.
Nam Taemin, who had lifted off his enraged mode and regained his senses, spoke.
As expected, he finished first.
It was no surprise.
Considering the monsters Hoyeol had defeated and the recommended level of the ruptures he had cleared, Andras was not one of the difficult enemies. But at the same time, he couldnt help but feel scared.
Hoyeol-ssi, your presence was different from usual.
Nam Taemin had so much wilderness that it wouldnt be strange to call him a beast.
Thanks to this, he noticed.
Hoyeols emotion which was unshakable under any circumstance
It became slightly rough.
Of course, being rough didnt mean it was a bad thing.
Scratch.
Its a compliment among us barbarians
In any case, he couldnt help but question it.
Why in a battle like this?
As he had stated earlier.
Hoyeol had faced worse enemies and situations than Andras.
He had witnessed the inhabitants of Frost who lost their lives in the days before the recapture of Frost. He even had gone so far as to retrieve the bodies.
Nam Taemin, who was thinking hard, muttered.
Claudie, was it?
In the end, that was the only thing that was different than usual.
An unknown word shouted by the demons.
Perhaps Hoyeol-ssi knew the meaning of that word.
He might have a reason to be sensitive to the word.
Nam Taemin gritted his teeth.
Damn it.
He was happy to be recognized as a colleague by Hoyeol.
He always felt indebted to him.
But he had never actually helped Hoyeol.
How can you call this a give and take, seriously?
If that was the case, what was a colleague?
He was just a burden.
Nam Taemins shoulders slumped.
Hisagi opened his mouth to Nam Taemin.
I dont think this is the time to act miserable.
What?
Have you forgotten what youve been told?
Hisagi continued speaking while stopping the bleeding from the wound on his cheek.
If you realize your shortcomings, you can overcome them.
!
Werent we in a hurry trying to overcome it?
Im all for it.
Leonie interrupted, covered in blood befitting of a berserker.
Then, she continued after scanning Nam Taemin with a disapproving gaze.
Tsk, if I were that big, I would have already reached level 700.
What are saying?
Stop slumping your shoulders already.
Sneak
Leonie raised her head.
Following her gaze, there was a helicopter and a camera pointing at them. Only then did Nam Taemin realize it and he hurriedly gathered himself. And he spoke without moving his lips.
When did you grow up?
Huh? Shut up.
By the way, Im getting more and more impressed with Hoyeol-ssi.
Even if it was just them.
Sometimes they felt burdened by the pouring attention.
It was hard to imagine the pressure on Hoyeol.
He murmured because he realized it once again.
Now that I think it like that, he seems a little more human.
Who are you talking about?
Just someone.
Tsk, youre keeping things to yourself again.
Sigh. Im talking about Hoyeol-ssi. Are you satisfied?
Oh.
They could feel it even if it wasnt explained in detail.
The three people fell into silence as they looked around the Demon Kings Castle, which had been swept away by Hoyeol.
Then they heard a cautious voice.
Im sorry to interrupt your touching conversation.
It was the voice of Nam Cheolmin, the analyst of the Great Alliance.
Ah, hyung. Im listening. Whats going on?
The talk about Hoyeol-ssi
Hoyeol-ssi?! So, where is Hoyeol-ssi right now?!
Even if he wasnt strong enough to provide direct help.
He could take on the role of a companion who he could share concerns with.
There must be a story behind Claudie.
He was confident in listening and empathizing with people.
Of course, such determination was useless.
I heard Hoyeol-ssi just returned to the Mage Tower.
W-Whaaat?
Hes wrapping up the conference as straightforwardly as always.
Was I overthinking it for no reason?
Ha, is my intuition really bad?
Are you saying it was all just a presumptuous misunderstanding?
At the moment.
The three people were at a loss for words.
Nam Cheolmin opened his mouth.
Take back the remark about him being human.
It was just Homen
*
As expected, it was better to show it once than to explain it a hundred times.
A message flashed.
[Quest: Founding of a School]
You who have achieved a noble magic achievement.
Prove your achievement at the regular conference.
Let the creation of a new magic be known.
Present reversal magic at the regular conference. (Successful)
I returned to the office after successfully completing the regular conference.
When did I come back to the Mage Tower?
Surprisingly, it was right after I disposed of Andras.
Yeah, I was an obsessive workaholic.
[Youve met the conditions.]
[You will be rewarded.]
[Your relationship with the Mage Tower has increased]
[Your influence in the Mage Tower has increased]
I knew youd understand.
As expected, the Mage Tower was not easy.
It seemed that the activation of the [authority] function on the Mage Tower was still in progress.
I was not interested in the position of Tower Master, but.
With this announcement, I would have qualified to become the tower master.
This probably meant that even if I was the Tower Master, I couldnt control the Mage Tower as I wished.
Well, even that cat was not free from the rules of the Mage Tower.
Now that we were on this topic, I would make another promise.
In the future.
Even if I could control the Mage Tower as I wished.
I would never take the position of the tower master.
Im really overwhelmed. Now.
So far, I had been able to handle it.
However, the moment I faced Claudie, my mind went blank.
I thought I could bear everything else with pride.
[Name: Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo]
This damn name!
I couldnt handle the reality of this name being talked about in the world.
In that regard, I hoped that day never came.
With my own two eyes.
I hoped the day I confirmed Claudies proof of existence would never come.
Yeah, if that day ever came.
I would no longer have any excuse to stop Grandfels damn big mouth.
Still, should I say its a good thing?
Well, there must be rumors about Claudie circulating in the Arcana Continent right now. This was the first time I was grateful for the disconnection between reality and the Arcana Continent.
If the news comes to reality.
Just like how I defeated Andras, the Demon King.
It was something that had to be blocked.
Of course, it bothered me that the dragons were all gathered because of Claudie. I didnt know if they would be friendly or hostile to me.
At any rate.
Its kind of weird to clash with the dragons
If I ever happened to encounter a dragon, I should try to persuade it by mentioning that I was the youngest of the family tree.
I was also used to being the youngest.
While I had already opened the status window, I also checked the performance of clearing the Demon Kings Castle.
[Level: 621]
[Stat]
Strength: 142 / Agility: 139 / Mana: 517 / Luck: 12 / Aesthetic: Upper / Tenacity: 2
[Points owned: 20]
Still, it was worth the boss monster level.
It was not for no reason that he had spoken straight in front of me.
Even considering the level 600 barrier, I never thought I would have risen 20 levels all at once.
There is no need to be pleased about such a mere disgrace.
Hu-uh.
You should be glad it wasnt a disgrace, Grandfel.
Even if I realized the importance of fundamental abilities.
That didnt mean the level wasnt important.
Above all, I needed to reach level 700.
This jacket.
This thing that flutters over your shoulders.
Dont you think we should insert our arms in it?
That way, well be able to see the effects of the luxurious Dawn Set.
By the way.
Because hes the one who ends up making the overestimation a reality.
Just like his setting stated.
He kept all his words without exception.
Well, that day when heavenly luck followed with the sirens blessing.
I had said this.
I dont believe in luck.
Thanks to my increased luck, I had overcome the crisis that I hadnt even known was going on.
He was so shameless.
I had kept criticizing Grandfel about that.
However.
If it was true that the mess had been sorted out under Claudies name
Luck and destiny are something you create yourself.
His words werent nonsense anymore.
In that regard, I should be careful of what he said from now on.
I reached for the teacup with the green tea bag in it.
Clink
Perhaps because I had suffered from mental shock.
I could feel the importance of tea time today.
But, as soon as I took a sip of green tea.
This guys mouth spouted.
However, it is something that should not be overlooked.
No, putting aside whether you should overlook it or not.
Cant you think before you speak?!
If you dont like that, at least take a breath before talking!
But, despite my pleas, I ended up saying.
Everyone, please wait.
Really.
I will go back to the continent.
I cant live up to my own name!
