Episode 509 Shortest week (1)
Seoul.
The capital of the Republic of Korea and the land of Kii.
And the city where Shiningâs guild house is located.
âHonestly, I was surprised.â
A horribly broken window.
A hallway that was devastated.
There was no glimpse of Shiningâs past status.
And yet.
âThank you everyone for coming together like this.â
Camilla looked at the gathered guild members.
Itâs not as big as in the past when it was classified as a super guild.
There were so many people that it was still hard to see at a glance.
Camilla joked.
âBut I guess I lived a good life~?â
âYouâre so shameless, my Lady Bugil.â
âI can hear everything there~?â
Similarly, you can hear the laughter made with effort.
Now even the guild master Rox has left.
The Shiningâs reputation is falling without wings.
Camilla did not hiss.
âIt was like that on NetTube and Today Arcana. Dmitryâs death and the withdrawal of Guild Master Rox. âThanks to a series of bad news, Shiningâs strength has been cut in half.â
Her shoulders shrugged.
âTheyâre idiots, right?â
â¦Actually, even half of it is too much.
Rox and Dmitry.
The two have been leading Shining at the forefront.
Take a few steps back from the enemy lines.
Unlike me, who only played with the bow.
but.
âIâm sorry, both of you. But now is the time when lies are necessary, right?â
Camilla swallowed back her words.
It was not for himself, but for the remaining guild members in Shining.
It was Seoul overlaid with the colors of Arcana Continent electricity.
âOur Shining must have looked like tasty prey. We talk and judge as we please~ Anyway, itâs understandable that guilds weâve never heard of are attacking our guild house~â
Havenât you actually experienced it?
Shining has already been through several sieges.
At this pointâ¦
Rox Dmitri, shall I be honest with you only?
I speak confidently, but the truth is, I have no confidence.
âHow long can I endure in this condition?â
That doesnât mean you should blame me.
âHow can I be sane?â
Itâs too hard to just brush it off and say it was all a class quest.
Rox: Because I watched you suffer from such pain from so close.
Moreover, I was able to see it clearly thanks to the wide field of view.
âYou can fool the camera, but you canât fool my eyes.â
That the traces of the devil have not completely disappeared from you.
I guess that was it, Rox?
The reason you left The Shining.
ââ¦Even for you.â
Even if I canât become that kind of vessel.
I will have to lead The Shining.
Camilla laughed bitterly inwardly.
âSo donât blame me if The Shining isnât what it used to be.â
Because everything is because of you two who left on your own.
âThen letâs get to the point.â
Camilla raised her head and looked at the gathered guild members.
Shining, a toothless tiger, still has this much power left.
Still, it was heartbreaking.
âIâll do my best, Camilla.â
Iâm just taking over the burden that Rox was carrying.
She catches her breath.
Soon he opened his mouth.
âIâm thinking of applying for the Shining Guild Master position that became vacant due to Roxâs departure. Because the Arcana continental electricity system is being applied to Seoul. âEveryone knows, right?â
I added one word.
âIf there are no other applicants, the selection process is skipped.â
At the same time, the vision blinks.
[Current guild master candidate: Camilla]
[There are no additional candidates.]
[If there are no additional applicants, the selection process will be skipped.]
Shining Guild members looked at each other and nodded.
If it was Camilla, I could trust her and follow her.
Even if itâs not as good as Rox.
Because she proved her power in the siege.
âThen it ends like thisâ¦.â
The time limit is imminent.
It was the moment when the meeting that had started for good reason was about to end.
A new message suddenly appeared in everyoneâs sight.
ââ¦?â
[Candidate registration completed.]
Camillaâs eyebrows twitched.
ââ¦I canât even guess who it is?â
With such ambition, why would you stay in The Shining?
It didnât come to mind.
As I said, Shining was just a big toothless tiger.
Camilla guessed reasonably.
âCould it have been instigated from outside?â
Is this a ploy to create internal strife in Shining and take over Shining more easily? Then I couldnât back down. It was the moment when Camilla was ready to settle the matter in the Arcana Continentâs way.
One name that came to mind late.
[Current Guild Master Candidate: Camilla Jesse Heinness]
ââ¦Jesse? Jessie?! âIs that really you?!â
The other person was way beyond my imagination.
*
âDid you see the expression on Jesseâs face? âEveryone was shocked!â
Jesse took off his cone hat and placed it on his lap.
I faced Camilla.
At least for this moment.
I didnât want to listen to Masterâs nagging.
I didnât even want to hide my expression anymore.
Sweet.
Jessie put down her teacup and groaned.
ââ¦Honestly, I thought I was going to die of shame.â
âWhat, did you think you would say you were embarrassed?â
âI have that level of respect, too, Camilla.â
It was literally arbitrary.
Jesse had withdrawn from Shining and declared that he would return to the position of guild master. He himself had guessed that the guild membersâ gaze could not be calmed.
Jesse looked at Camilla.
âSo are you okay?â
âme? what?â
âI registered as a candidate.â
âOh, that? âAm I going to withdraw from my candidacy?â
ââ¦what?â
Camilla smiled slyly and sat down next to Jesse.
Okay.
He crossed his arms and spoke even more slyly.
âMy daughter said she would carry my luggage for me when she grew up like this. How could I refuse? Of course, I have to act appropriately.â
ââ¦Youâre scary, Camilla.â
âreally?â
Camilla said, looking at Jesseâs tired face.
âIâm more scared of your changes, Jesse?â
ââ¦.â
âCan you just tell me the reason?â
Jesse responded to Camillaâs question.
âIt may not be equal, though.â
âequalâ¦?â
âI want to understand your feelings a little bit.â
Jesse continued.
âThatâs why I wanted to carry that burden.â
Camilla, who had been listening quietly, raised the corners of her mouth.
âAre you really all grown up?â
âIâve grown up since the beginning, Camilla.â
âOur Jesse has completely grown up.â
Camilla was able to shake off even the slightest concern through the conversation she had just had.
If you have this kind of attitude, no matter what happens.
Because we will restore Shiningâs status to its original state.
Because unlike me, Jesse has the ability to do that.
âIsnât that right, Dmitry? And Rox?â
But Jesseâs declaration is not over yet.
âAnd I have one more goal.â
âMore than Shining Gilmaâs seat? What? âYouâre so greedy~â
âI plan to work hard at the Magic Tower as well.â
âAt the Magic Towerâ¦?â
Jesse had been favored by the Magic Tower since the days when Arcana was just a game. What could Jessie do to vent in such a magic tower? Camilla was thinking.
Jesse said seriously.
âBecause as an experienced wizard, I will never be able to understand.â
ââ¦Jesse, are you sure?â
Thatâs right, it couldnât have been possible.
âI will become the senior wizard of the Magic Tower.â
It was only after I was recognized as a skilled wizard that I could see the Magic Tower more clearly.
How the Magic Tower operates and what secrets it holds.
To what extent is the truth about the magic tower permitted to skilled wizards?
So Jesse made up his mind.
He said he would occupy the position of senior wizard, one of only 20 in the Magic Tower.
Only then can Ho-yeol, the chief.
Because you will be able to understand it a little more.
of course.
âThe reason is that?â
ââ¦.â
No matter how much it is Camilla.
I couldnât reveal everything so honestly.
Jesse hastily added a specific reason.
By folding your fingers.
âThere are many benefits to becoming a senior wizard. You can have a private office, and you can also use the Hall, which can be used by skilled wizards of the same school⦠Oh, and you can also freely access secret places.â
âSecret place? Was there something like that in the Magic Tower?â
âhuh.â
Jesse said something that would make âsomeoneâ startle.
âFor example, Amethyst Hall.â
âIsnât amethyst the name of a gemstone?â
âYes, this is the first place I will look when I become a senior wizard.â
lately.
It was Jesse who had encountered Matisse, a senior in black magic, at the Magic Tower.
At that time, Jesse was startled without realizing it.
An expression you donât normally see.
Matisse at the corner of his mouth.
Because there was a faint smile on his face.
So I gathered courage and asked.
I wonder if something good has happened to you.
Then Matisse answered.
-âThere was light, Miss Jessie. âAt Amethyst Hall.â
*
â¦What is it? My ears suddenly feel extremely itchy.
âThis is not the time to be swayed by personal emotions.â
I know, I know too?!
Grandfellâs face.
Ignoring the itching in the wind.
Desperately, I focus my mind on the mineral on the desk.
What are you doing staring at minerals out of nowhere?
What can I say, Iâm researching a new strangeâ¦!
Exactly one week later in real time.
I was the one who had to enter hell through commercialization.
Arenât you being too hasty?
Arthur.
It was a week of preparation that allowed us to barely suppress the temper of Granfell, who was ready to go to hell at any moment.
even.
-âShouldnât we explore hell this time with the commander in chief? So, you need to be fully prepared. Shouldnât Lorenzk, the romantic explorer, live up to his name? Haha.â
â¦By citing someone elseâs circumstances, not mine, Lee Ho-yeol.
âYou canât just let it go by like a week.â
This also applies to being fully prepared.
In addition to stopping by Garnet Hall to rent magic tools for battle that can be used in hell, there were also items that had to be picked up by stopping by Cloudy Spirit.
But the most important thing is.
âIn the end, all I have to do is do well, Hoyeol. only me.â
It was my growth.
In order for me to grow even a little.
It was a struggle.
When I surpassed the 1,000 level, it was more efficient to research ways to use the tools I already had rather than going around the most cracks.
So I have minerals on my desk.
Obsidian was placed.
It was an Obsidian with the property of devouring magical power.
âObsidian is the magicianâs natural enemy.â
But what if even a natural enemy relationship could be overcome with wonder? In some cases, I might be able to manifest a perfect eccentricity with no weaknesses.
Of course, seeing as Obsidian doesnât moveâ¦
âI donât think the snowball fight will end easily.â
Nevertheless, Granfellâs talent was still brilliant.
Until Obsidian gets a little excited.
It didnât take long.
â¦shake shake.
just.
â¦sparkle.
There was just an obstacle that caused them to let go of the clue they had barely caught.
Speaking of Granfellâs passion for learning.
Even my two mouths are not enough.
âWhat was it that kept me up at night?â
Even when he was parachuting from the Magic Tower, he was so absorbed in reading that he read all the magic books in the Magic Tower. Naturally, I cannot come up with nice words.
âI invested time, which is more precious than gold.â
This is not an exaggeration.
Even the Grand Fell of the world skipped afternoon tea time.
It was Gigiâs progress that he was passionate aboutâ¦!
Because I couldnât imagine what the aftermath would be.
I also get a system message that gets on my nerves.
I had no choice but to watch more closely than usual.
[A massive energy stirs from beyond the dimension.]
A normal player would have wondered what that meant.
But I could sense it.
In a way, we were in the same situation.
Is this âthatâ?
What Paimon said.
The presence of the Ten Pillars that cannot be hidden.
ââ¦For something like this, I might need an incarnation body.â
If I change my position and think about it⦠Itâs as if I witnessed a message at this moment. It was because the high-ranking demon lords might know where I am and what Iâm doing.
So who are you?
The guy who moves while showing off his presence like this.
The guy who interrupted my concentration.
Soon a message came to mind and I opened my mouth.
You wonât leave me alone even for a week?
[The noble Paimon, the demon king on the ninth throne.]
[The noble king of the demon world has welcomed a guest.]
[A man with brilliant silver hair like you.]
âPaimon.â
The person in the message must be me.
Thanks to this, I know who the man is with brilliant silver hair like me.
I was able to guess it without difficulty.
Cloudyâs symbol: brilliant silver hair.
âBecause there is only one Cloudy other than Granfell.â
A cool voice flows from between my lips.
âPride.â
*
Western Demon World.
Pride did not flinch even in Paimonâs domain.
This was because he knew better than anyone else what the other person wanted.
Yes.
âMy purpose and yours are the same, noble Paimon.â
Pride murmured.
In that voice.
Not a single lie.
âGrandfell, holding and shaking my poor brother.â
I felt sincerity.
âIt is the obliteration of a ray of light.â
