Chapter 582: Chapter 578.5

Because I received something from Akshan seniors.

I’ve been neglecting the training class quest more and more.

I was just finishing push-ups and wincing in pain.

A sting.

Suddenly, what is it?

A chill running down my spine?

It feels too uncomfortable to blame it on my mood, but this?

The first thing I did was check my phone, which hadn’t even rung.

No messages since then.

Relief is brief.

As expected, Grandfell doesn’t let it go.

“I’m relieved that I didn’t cause any trouble.”

That’s what Grandfell’s snout meant. Unfortunately, the curse was manifested in Seongseon, and the older sisters, who had been going crazy in the group chat room due to all kinds of worries, calmed down despite the difficulty.

‘It was unexpected, right?’

What kind of wind was blowing?

Lee Yerim, who would normally be the fussiest, mediated the situation.

I thought, My Wensu has finally grown up.

However.

‘It can’t be.’

Hope for the best, Hoyeol.

With great expectations comes great disappointment.

I guess it was all a matter of the right circumstances.

In the end, the situation ended without much damage.

‘It didn’t go out of control into Blackening.’

Let’s see.

Let’s collect our thoughts.

To shake off the chill in my spine, I check the status window.

[Name: Grandfell Claudi Arpheus Romeo]

[Titles: Last Adventurer, Noble, Transcendent, Dark Dragon, Heavenly One, Master of the Ten Thrones, Great Master of Anomaly, Savior of the Black Curtain, Light]

[Class: Demon Hunter]

[Level: 1,105]

[Stats]

Strength : 243 / Agility : 244 / Magic : 1,001 / Luck : 20 / Aesthetic : High / Tenacity : 50 / Charm : Yes / ??? : Yes

[Points held: 50]

Barbatos.

In the end, it was Barbatos who collapsed on his own, but it was probably because he was generously recognized for his contribution in suppressing the power with [Lucifer’s Chains of Atonement].

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen a maximum increase.’

50 Levels.

Given the exponentially increasing experience requirements for leveling up, it’s hard to imagine the weight of the 8th Throne Demon King. Still, I’ll be the first to admit it.

‘I actually couldn’t have hunted this one without you.’

But I won’t be so grateful, Grandfell.

I told you, right?

Now I finally understand the topic properly.

I also learned something from watching you all this time.

How to talk with an iron plate on your face!

‘To put it bluntly, Granfell, you might have failed without me, right?’

You think I, the Light, couldn’t have helped you in some way?

Of course, I can’t verify the authenticity, and I don’t want to.

There is no use blaming me for my shamelessness.

‘If you don’t like it, you shouldn’t have reflected me objectively.’

You shouldn’t have let me realize I was the Light ……!

Grandfell didn’t even have time to retort with his snout.

I headed straight to my next appointment.

ttogag.

I was met by Harkon and the Knights of the Lionheart. Honored guests who have traveled all the way from the Empire to hunt Barbatos, or more precisely, for me?

“Have I kept you waiting, Harkon?”

“No, you came at the right time.”

“The Knights of the Lionheart greet their Commander-in-Chief!”

Anyway, that unique greeting is still burdensome. After confirming the loyalty of the Lionheart Knights with my own eyes, I immediately opened the portal.

By the way, Harkon’s eyes have been looking strange since earlier.

‘Why, what, is there something on my face?’

This body that cannot live and die in style.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I can’t possibly have anything on my face.

The moment he thought about it, the corners of Harkon’s mouth rose.

“It is a pleasure to see you again, Sir Hoyeol.”

Huh?

Suddenly?

It had been a long time, technically.

Harkon hadn’t left the Empire to rebuild.

Still, the greeting sounded quite meaningful.

I nodded.

Of course.

“Me too.” (tl/n: in korea: 나 또한)

It was only three characters……?

Because of the snout nature, I couldn’t give a warm answer.

Instead, Harkon seemed to realize his mistake.

“I apologize for that, Commander-in-Chief. I was so pleased to see you…….”

You called me Sir Hoyeol?

It’s all right, Harkon.

I don’t care about titles now.

‘I don’t like being called Sir or Commander-in-Chief or both.’

However, Harkon still looked surprised.

I suppose that’s to be expected.

I thought I was just going to see them off.

Because we were heading towards the portal together.

“Commander-in-Chief, are you planning to visit the Empire? Oh, if I had known you would, I would have told the Empire in advance. The Empire is capable and ready to receive you in grand manner…….”

No, please, that is not necessary, Harkon.

“I have no intention of alerting the Empire, Harkon, even if I were to stop by.”

“And dare I ask why?”

“Because the Empire, Antonium, is not my territory.”

That’s right.

From now on, I’m going to make sure things are clear.

I’m going to sit back, watch the good stuff, and eat my cake.

‘The [Authority] function must have also been activated in the Empire.’

This means that I don’t have to take care of the empire’s affairs, and I want to suck the nectar of an empire ruled by an empress and a prince. To do that, I didn’t need to show my face to the Empire.

Harkon bowed his head once more.

“Indeed, I could not fathom the depth of your meaning.”

I’m glad I didn’t fathom your snobbishness.

By the way, Harkon.

I still think you’re mistaken about something.

I spoke calmly to Harkon, who lowered his head.

“But that too is in the future.”

“What do you mean, ……?”

“Because the destination of the manifested portal is not Antonium, the capital of the Empire.”

“!”

The entire Knights of the Lionheart, including Harkon, react to my words.

So much for pretense.

Suddenly, their eyes light up.

Harkon speaks for them.

“We’ve been waiting for this moment, Commander-in-Chief.”

Sreung.

All of the Knights of the Lionheart draw their swords.

“The Knights of the Lionheart will trample your enemies.”

[On the Arcana continent, the ‘Great Yokai of the Valley of Blood, the Cruel God Killer Eight-headed Viper’ appears].
