Episode 460. Dawn, darkest hour (4)
I am Lee Ho-yeol. He was frankly unsure.
It was concluded that in order to reverse the situation beyond what was in trouble, the ability of Grandfel in its heyday was necessary.
In order to increase the mastery of [Heaven, Heaven, and Earth], he threw himself into the curse, [Understanding of Darkness].
But, did you know that I would be like this⦠⦠!
The past of Grandfel, which should have unfolded before my eyes like a video, was cut off.
Itâs not enough that itâs full of noise.
What if you want to see something?
It slowed down as if it was buffering and then sped up repeatedly.
Iâve been frustrated for such a long time.
â⦠⦠Come to think of it.â
I thought there must be a reason for this.
Yes.
This time period I have not experienced through Arcana Continental Electricity.
But it wasnât the time to write down the specific settings.
âIs it because there is no information?â
It is because of the rapid decline of the gas.
Whether I like it or not, I overcome my second illness.
The time when the history of the Arcana Continent was also folded.
therefore⦠⦠.
Even after searching through my dark history, I couldnât infer anything from the time period after Grandfell started his full-fledged activities as a demon hunter in Akkshan.
however.
âI guess.â
A cursed landscape cut off.
How can you guess from that alone?
It wasnât just because I was quick-witted.
Thatâs right, this time itâs the fucking Akkshan!!
those days.
What is the daily routine of a demon hunter?
âEven now that Akkshan is ruined, itâs still the same.â
For physical training that pushes to the limit every fictitious day.
To the simple labor quest.
It must have been an occasional exorcism quest or something.
âSuddenly the tension is released, this.â
Why, before entering this [Understanding of Darkness], I was the one who had made my own serious determination. But I never thought I would witness the past of Grandfel losing steam like this.
â⦠⦠Wait, wouldnât the plan go out like this?â
In the social arena of time and space, I entered into the understanding of darkness.
Thanks to that, I didnât have to worry too much about the time difference.
The problem is not the time difference.
The problem is that the possibility of making a fuss has increased.
You have to find out something from the past to understand about Grandfel.
You will be able to take care of the mastery of the child alone in the heavens and the world.
âWill I be able to take care of it like this?â
Even if I had time to spare, it was an absolute lack of time. If I donât get any results from this dark understanding⦠⦠.
âI have to be prepared.â
Intentionally activates abnormal status, [Blackening].
He said that he might have to rely on Grandfel for everything to overcome the crisis.
It was the moment when I seriously thought of plan B.
Suddenly, in the blurred vision of Grandfel.
A âsomethingâ shook me off.
A symbol of the Cloudy family.
silver hair.
Of course, it wasnât Grandfelâs hair.
âThen the answer must be obvious.â
The time when Cloudy was annihilated.
Except for Grandfell, there is only one person with silver hair.
No, because there was only one guy.
âGrand Fell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo, my younger brother.â
Cloudyâs traitor, the seven deadly arrogance.
Maybe itâs because heâs a knowledgeable person.
The noise slowly dissipated.
The scenery that was cut off was smoothly continued in this part.
I looked around.
antique decorations.
Inside crowded with servants.
âWhere is the high manâs mansion?â
In such a place, Granfell wore a sloppy demon hunterâs garb.
And he was equipped with a silver weapon made by Akkshan.
What that means is simple.
âIt was during the exorcism quest.â
Granfell ran into that guy during a mission.
To be precise, he must have been waiting for Grandfel.
If thatâs the case, this is in the guyâs trap.
This mansion isnât just a mansion either.
âshit.â
I know that even with Lee Ho-yeolâs head.
Thereâs no way that Granfell, who has a brain that surpasses even a goddess, doesnât know. But, our Grandfel-sama is not a person who chooses to do anything in front of the devil.
Especially for the devil, the enemy of the family⦠⦠!
sereung.
Grandfell arrogantly rushes towards him.
âYouâre impatient, Grandfel.â
Indeed, my predictions were correct. The fact that Granfell held a grudge against him, knowing that he had been involved in Akkshan, was the pride of coming to Granfell on his own feet.
oh oh
Indeed, the entire mansion is a trap.
You donât betray my expectations.
Immediately, the magic circle engraved on the mansion is activated.
âDonât move hastily, arenât you poor souls?â
poor life.
âUgh, aaaaagh!â
He was talking about the servants of the mansion.
Before long, the pupils of the attendants who struggled in pain turned black.
I could have guessed about it.
-Save the attendants from the demons of the cursed mansion.
If it was a quest, that goal would have been renewed.
That it was all his plan from the start.
However, the demon hunterâs attacks only damage demons.
You must know that there is no way that Grandfel can stop, right?
Indeed, did you come up with a countermeasure for that?
âAkshan can tell the difference between humans and demons, right?â
bang.
As Pride spoke, the door to the mansion broke open and soldiers poured out. No, he was too free-spirited to be called an enlisted soldier from an aristocratic family.
âCatch and kill!â
âlol. A nugget of gold!â
âGet out of the way, his head is mine!!â
You are a mercenary.
A mix of demon possessed servants and money-obsessed mercenaries attack me. I thought about that. If the Granfell I knew, how would you wield a sword in a situation like this?
âI honestly donât know.â
Grandfell is merciful.
Grandfell is not merciful.
Conflicting thoughts collide in my head.
But I wasnât troubled.
Didnât I tell you, Grandfel?
No need to worry about anything complicated.
âBecause I just need to make it come true.â
I aroused my senses.
[The tenacity is converted into strength.]
[Obsession is converted to agility.]
The skill [Relationship with the Natural Enemy] is already active.
I was able to tell the difference between a human and a demon who were mingling with each other with only my senses.
And he swung his sword without hesitation.
Iâm sure it would have been difficult if it was like the old days.
âBecause a simple sword attack is inefficient.â
It is also difficult to control the force.
However, there were high-level interpersonal skills acquired while competing with the shadow godâs apostles. Evade the attack pouring from the blind spot and return it as it is.
âGreat!â
âWhat, what is so fast?â
âThis is a demon hunter⦠⦠? You must have tricked me!â
âAll right, legs. My legs!â
âSah, save me⦠⦠!â
The devil possessed by the servants stopped breathing, and the mercenaries, who simply pursued money, stopped at the line of cutting their muscles so that they could no longer move.
It was then.
âExcellent, brother.â
Pride looked at me and talked.
I couldnât help but get angry.
It was very embarrassing for me to call you âAhâ from a while ago.
Wouldnât it be natural?
I am Lee Ho-yeol.
As the youngest member of the Lee family, who already has three older sisters.
I didnât have the slightest thought of wanting to serve a new older brother.
âAs long as I feel like it.â
You must have already said a few words⦠⦠.
A posture that does not mix words with prey.
Now was not the time to chatter.
furthermore.
âMaybe this is an opportunity.â
I knew from experience.
A complicatedly intertwined timeline.
If you change the past, the reality will change too.
What if you hunt the Seven Deadly Sins Arrogance from the past?
It was that I could lighten a burden in reality.
So I accelerated even more.
oh oh
Itâs a magic circle engraved all over the mansion.
It looks like you put a lot of effort into preparing the trap.
Even the hem of my long clothes couldnât be brushed with that kind of magic.
ãReversal Magicã.
Grandfellâs brilliant talent.
Completely understand the magic circleâs interference process just by witnessing it. It manifests in reverse order and reverses it. Beyond suppressing the manifestation, tracking the magical power of the manifester who engraved such a magic circle.
â⦠⦠Ugh, aaaaagh!â
Mana Burn is also expressed to prevent other modifications.
Magical power evaporated as it is.
To put it simply⦠⦠.
Come with me now.
There was no obstacle that could stand in his way.
I straightened my sword.
chuck.
I didnât want to deal roughly.
In fact, I havenât had any personal grudge against the demons or demon lords Iâve encountered so far, but itâs a bit different than you.
âYou must hunt with my hands.â
Maybe itâs Cloudyâs setting that I scribbled on first. Did the cruelty of the Cloudy family come to me as a second grader as a joke of fate beyond coincidence?
âwell.â
Is the Arcana Continent first?
Arcana Continent electricity first?
Because even scholars around the world have not been able to come up with an answer to that debate.
âHow would I know that?â
But one thing is certain.
Iâm Pride, that I have a debt to pay you.
âUp to Grandfelâs share.â
So I didnât hesitate.
tadak.
He kicked the ground with all his might. He was neither alert nor excited. With the same breathing as always, I emit a sword force. He intended to sever his throat intact.
âAs expected, you donât remember anything, Grandfel.â
okay.
âAre you really forgetting ãCloudyâs Original Sinã?â
Until you hear something like that.
the devil is cunning
Moreover, how cunning would be the words of a bastard who sold his family to the devil? Naturally, I listened to Prideâs words with one ear and let it go with the other.
And if it was the Grandfel I knew, I shouldnât have even listened to those words. Thereâs no way the devilâs babble, worse than that of a worm, canât be heard in my ears.
however⦠⦠.
Apparently, I really only understood you 40%, Grandfel. Cloudyâs Original Sin. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Grandfellâs feet stopped.
The gap was long enough for the sword to touch the manâs throat.
âYou really forgot.â
My hand didnât move.
I thought it was a condition, but it wasnât.
Granfell had stopped moving on its own.
Pride sneered at such a Grandfell.
âWhat made you forget?â
A fairly unlucky face.
âWhat made the worldâs Grand Fell like that?â
Before long, those shiny eyes turned to âmeâ.
âIs it the âsingle ray of lightâ that shone on you that day?â
If that day⦠⦠.
It was the day Cloudy was exterminated. That day, through [Understanding the Darkness], I saved Grandfel. Perhaps, Pride also noticed something that day.
In an instant, I felt a sense of crisis.
âIt might be dangerous.â
At that moment, I felt like my senses were floating.
The past and present are blurring before your eyes.
The distinctions began to blur.
Damn, at a time like this⦠⦠?
[Curse, âunderstanding of darknessâ comprehension greatly increases.]
[The skill level of âHeaven and Heaven aloneâ is greatly increased.]
Grandfellâs past was pushing me away!
Noise intensifies again.
The boyâs movements start to stop.
âWhat is Cloudyâs original sin?â
I donât know if just by hearing that word, my understanding and proficiency have risen to an unprecedented level, but⦠⦠. I gritted my teeth.
âDonât think that everything will go according to your plan.â
Grandfel is not alone.
In the past, an intact Akkshan.
Currently, the Allied Crusade.
And past, present and future.
At all times, I
I, Lee Ho-yeol.
âCause youâll keep your eyes open
I forced my mouth open.
âAsk me, Tempest.â
âAww-â
Cries heard outside the mansion.
The Akkshan Wolf responded with a howl.
â⦠⦠is it.â
Then, Pride, confidence in his eyes.
He said, dispersing like smoke.
âNow that I know it, Iâll step back from here for today.â
is it?
Then itâs the general public.
I know for sure.
what kind of person you are.
âSo next time we meet, letâs see the end.â
In my brightening vision, I witnessed the message.
[A side effect of the greatly increased proficiency.]
[Skill, âHeaven and Heaven aloneâ runs out of control.]
[The runaway of the skill, âHeaven and Heaven aloneâ will be stopped.]
⦠⦠wait for a sec.
Runaway?
That I was on a runaway?
.
.
.
⦠⦠back to reality
I grabbed the brightening vision.
okay.
Whatever it is, everything is fine, Grandfel.
What did you do while I struggled in my dark understanding?
The demon king of the ninth throne before my eyes.
Do you have a Paimon?
And what did you say
Paimon.
Is that kid making that face?!
