Chapter 500: Chapter 500

Episode 500. Contradiction (1)

The vision of the [Bow Master] who led Shining.

Because he has overcome numerous crises through his own eyes.

Camilla, unlike Rox, was not confused.

‘It’s not a dream.’

At this moment, Rox was corrupted.

The wings sprouting from the shoulders clearly belonged to a devil.

scream.

“Rox…!!”

Status abnormality [Corruption].

Joshua, the head of the Western U.S. branch, had warned about the danger early on.

Joshua’s voice pleading with God appeared in Camilla’s mind.

-“That’s on a different level from possession, Camilla! If possession is simply having your body taken over by a demon… corruption is when the body itself becomes demonized!”

Where in the world can you find such a condition?

-“So, doesn’t that mean he is the Demon Lord of the Ten Seas, one of only the top ten Demon Lords? Of course, I haven’t heard any news of players demonizing [Corruption] so far…”

Really, don’t worry.

“But if I had known it would be like this…”

If only I had known a little more about corruption.

Rox, I might have been able to save you.

I was resentful of myself for having ignored Joshua’s words.

No, before that.

‘I shouldn’t have left you alone for any reason.’

Because negative emotions become the power of the devil.

Sadness filled Camilla’s face.

I couldn’t even guess.

“How deep was your sadness that you…”

Did he become a devil because he was so wrapped up in negative emotions?

I clenched my trembling fists.

Still, Camilla did not break down.

It was because there was hope in Rox.

“Camilla I’m fine.”

“?!”

Am I confused?

Even while holding my head.

Rox answered the call.

“Yes, it’s me!”

Camilla tried to wave her hand at Rox.

It was so as not to lose sight of Rox’s human side.

At the same time, it was because I trusted him.

“What is that thing with wings in the sky over there?”

“Wait a minute, that armor with blonde hair is Rox?!”

“What new item?”

Citizens clamoring.

okay.

This is the center of downtown Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

‘…If you are, definitely.’

Lee Ho-yeol is the one who brought Akshan back to the Arcana continent after his very existence was deleted, and at the same time, his existence is also considered a demon hunter by some.

It was then.

“!”

Camilla’s vision flickered.

[※Caution: Your guild house is under attack.]

…Pod!

‘It’s an intruder.’

Camilla quickly took out her bow and pulled the string.

This is the top floor.

Common sense suggests that this was a time when the guild house intruders could not have arrived.

“found.”

The opponent was a player who, like himself, lacked common sense.

Suoooo.

A voice rang out first, and magical power wavered in the air.

Short-distance teleportation.

Camilla aimed her bow at the magical response.

“Are you really going to pull it like that?”

“…who are you?”

I thought it would definitely be a bohemian guy.

Since he got stabbed in the back by Rox, he must have responded thoroughly. It was determined that the main force would block Rox and target Shining’s guild house with the remaining troops.

but.

“I’m sad. “After all, we are a mid-sized guild in the top 100.”

“I feel embarrassed even saying it. “Let’s just shut up.”

“I didn’t even want to.”

I was able to intuit it from the conversation.

‘It was purely aimed at Shining.’

To be exact.

Shining’s guild house.

A harsh exclamation erupts.

“Wow, this is amazing~”

“Even if we fall through a crack for the rest of our lives, we won’t even be able to see it.”

“So this building will be ours? Let’s see, if you just kill Rox and Camilla, you don’t need any troublesome procedures, just use the Arcana system!”

If it were Bohemian, there was at least room for negotiation.

‘Because we were the ones who started first.’

But with guys like that, there was no need to worry.

Ssak.

The arrow fired by Camilla blows like a whirlwind.

Asshole juice.

It diverges in several directions.

Puff poop.

Shining executive.

They can’t compete with players from guilds that are only ranked in the top 100.

Camilla’s first attack caused the hedgehog man to kneel.

“Wow. “I thought it was so bitter that it was sore.”

“…!”

“Why are you so surprised? “Are you afraid we weren’t even prepared?”

It’s different from dealing with a newly updated monster with no information.

The characteristics of named players like Camilla are widely known.

Grumble.

The body of the man who had become the target of the arrow became liquid-like.

Soon the arrow that had hit the target fell to the floor.

The man chuckled.

“Are you surprised? “I came here after playing with slime.”

“It is an ignorant destructive force. “I thought you were going to itch because it stung?”

“Are you really crazy?”

A counter liquid monster of the archer class.

But I never thought there would be an idiot who would actually try a method like that.

The men narrowed the gap to Camilla, who was astonished, one step at a time.

“Do you really think that?”

“…what?”

“Well, with a body like this, my defenses are poor, but…”

Camilla suddenly realized something as she continued to say.

“So what can you do, Camilla? How do you think we were able to get to the top floor without blood? Even though Shining’s name puts its name to shame, it still lacks discipline, doesn’t it?”

Rox’s guild control weakened.

And a lack of justification.

Camilla made a cool decision.

‘I can’t hope for support.’

Yes, I fully understand.

Getting on Camilla’s nerves.

Even more merciless words continue.

“That lumpy Dmitri isn’t there either!”

“Hey, don’t even bring up that story with that bastard.”

“It’s scary to even imagine. If I had been caught in that strong grip with a body like this, wouldn’t it have just exploded? “That bastard was a monster with similar strength to Nam Taemin, right?”

An arrowhead filled with quiet anger.

[Skill ‘Melody of Rampage’ is activated.]

What they said was right.

Camilla was now in a situation where she couldn’t ask for anyone’s help.

This means that it is not a situation to save one’s ace.

[Melody of Rampage: Consumes a large amount of magical energy to fire arrows. The skill will remain active until all magical power is consumed. It is not affected by the number of arrows.]

Push shoo shoo shoo.

‘It’s a little bit, but the damage is accumulating.’

Even if it meant consuming all of my magical energy, I had to kill the advance team quickly. The more the number of people increases, the less likely I am to win.

furthermore.

Camilla glanced back.

‘Someone blocked Rox.’

An Asian player whose identity cannot be identified by his face.

Just approaching Rox in that state.

I couldn’t help but be concerned about that man.

Quick resolution.

It was the moment when Camilla pulled the bowstring even harder. The opposing side also began to launch counterattacks. Camilla clearly felt Dmitry’s absence.

“Gap!”

A ranged dealer without a tank cannot focus on attacking. Because it lacks vitality and defense. This means that it is not for nothing that people say that if you pass by a glass cannon, you will die.

Urgent emergency avoidance.

“Josephine!”

[Skill ‘Call of the Sky’ is activated.]

Camilla summoned her beloved bird, Josephine.

Although it is not a summon specialized for combat.

Josephine’s help was desperately needed.

“It’s a surprise.”

“I thought big reinforcements were coming again.”

“Camilla, do you think your judgment has been impaired? Have you run out of magical energy?”

No, there is enough horsepower.

A system message was also printed.

But Josephine was nowhere to be seen.

But Camilla’s embarrassment did not last long.

Eventually, I caught it with my clairvoyance.

“…Josephine you.”

Josephine is riding on someone’s shoulder and rubbing their head in a friendly way. Josephine, who had a prickly personality just like her noble name, showed such an attitude to only one person.

Camilla’s voice wavered disingenuously.

“Now, I told you not to pretend to know Jesse.”

“…what?”

proposal?

Could it be that Jesse Heinness?!

The moment when the men’s faces were filled with shock.

“What are these little bastards?”

Goooooh.

Grumpy words are heard among the purple magical power.

A berserker who quickly took over through the teleport connection with Jesse.

It was Leonie.

“Hey Camilla. “Let’s talk first, getting rid of the distractions.”

…Nod.

The situation ended when Camilla nodded. The difference is even more overwhelming than the far-off gap in rankings. The gap between those who have entered the realm of strangeness and those who have not.

Suddenly.

“…Oof!”

“My legs, my legs!!”

“What are your legs? “I just tore a muscle, so shut up.”

Sungdeong.

There was no need to take out the dual swords. With just a couple of light swings of Leonie’s sword, the players who attacked the Shining branch fell miserably.

Light.

And then Jesse landed in front of Camilla.

Jesse’s face revealed under the conical hat.

In the end, Camilla was unable to hide her true feelings.

“Jesse… help Rox.”

Jesse answered.

“I was planning on doing that even if it wasn’t like that.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You should have said something. “Camilla, you idiot.”

“Leonie….”

The three Rox flapping their wings in the air.

And then I looked at the mysterious man facing Rox.

The man kept talking to Rox, who looked confused.

Jesse repeated the man’s words.

“A corrupted mixed-blood demon… he is beguiling Rox with his words.”

“What are you doing, you bastard?” Should I fly and knock him down?”

“No, Rox is still okay.”

The fluttering wings definitely looked like the wings of a devil, but Rox maintained his senses. Because he was showing hostility towards the man who was spouting nonsense at him.

“Thank goodness…”

A moment of relief.

Again.

“!!!”

A sound rang out, raising the tension to the extreme.

Camilla Jessie Leonie.

The three people were able to intuit it.

‘…Dangerous.’

The person responsible for the sound of shoes.

This did not mean that heat was dangerous.

It meant that Rox might be dangerous.

Yes, to the devil in his actions so far.

Because it was such a passion that he didn’t even show the slightest mercy.

If Rox is judged to be a devil…

Camilla shook her head as if in denial.

“It’s not the devil, Rox recognized me…!”

But that wind is insignificant.

Close to a scream.

Rox’s voice echoed throughout downtown Seoul.

“Get the hell away from me!”

The ominous premonition seemed to be coming true.

*

It was clear hostility.

“This guy is mine!”

If this guy is talking about Yongseongrak, right?

‘But our relationship wasn’t bad, Rox.’

I swallowed my disappointment and looked at Yong Seong-rak.

No, to be more precise, I looked at Paimon disguised as Yongseongrak.

How did you recognize it right away?

‘It’s strange that you can’t recognize something like that.’

Those eyes that look like they’re not only happy to see me, but also thrilled.

Yong Seong-rak may have respected me when he was alive.

I’ve never looked at you with such sticky gaze.

Without hesitation, I opened my mouth.

“I’ll hold you accountable for your words and actions later, Rox.”

“…what?”

“Because you are not in perfect condition right now.”

Blinking message.

[Skill ‘Natural Relationship’ is activated.]

It wasn’t just because of Paimon.

Black bat wings sprouted from behind Rox’s shoulders.

Because he’s a demon hunter.

I recognized it as soon as I saw it.

Status abnormality.

It is corruption.

Rox has been corrupted into a half-blood demon.

‘As expected, it wasn’t only effective for monsters.’

Same as possession.

The effect was effective for players as well.

If so, from now on I will listen even more to my inner voice.

I had no choice but to listen.

‘Granfell.’

What do you plan to do to Rox, who has become a demon after being corrupted…? It goes without saying, but I, Lee Ho-yeol, couldn’t make a hasty decision.

‘That’s right…’

Because I was able to guess the cause of Rox’s corruption. So, at this moment, I shifted my gaze from Rox. Instead, I looked at the easy-going Paimon.

‘Paimon, if you are.’

Unlike Rox, you will be able to hunt without suffering.

However, Lee Ho-yeol’s shallow choice did not last long.

This was because Paimon politely opened his mouth with Yongseongrak’s body.

“My dear, I, the noble Paimon, ask for your forgiveness.”

This was because he was bent down to his waist.

“Please, at least for a moment.”

…really.

“Please forgive me for doubting you.”

Paimon, are you a devil?

Even so, I’m still upset about Rox.

Why are you being so formal?!

*

Hell.

“Hear his call, brothers.”

Under the green flame.

Men dressed in black gathered together.

A solemn voice rings out.

“Yes, Akshan is calling us.”
