The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 190: It's all about the ending

The Zero Mountain was incredibly huge.

It was so big that you couldnt see it all in one glance even if you looked down from this high up.

In that regard, as expected of the Mage Tower.

The waves calmed down.

The amount of mana consumed depended on how complex the intervention process was.

For example

It was not for no reason that I exaggerate about the [aesthetic] stat.

What if I didnt activate the [aesthetic] stat, but added interference to have a similar effect?

The mana consumed for for manifestation would increase by at least several times, and at most tens of times.

No complicated intervention process was needed to calm the sea.

It meant that the mages of the Mage Tower, who were born geniuses, used their mana more efficiently.

I dont think there was even a need for me to come.

But there was a procedure to everything.

Now that I had seen their face, I should at least say hello.

I walked through the sky and approached Yugwid and Marcelo.

Needless to say, I was walking in the air.

Tap tap

There was no sound here.

It wasnt until I opened my mouth that those two noticed me.

Sir Hoyeol?

Why are you out here?

Marcelo, thats what your face is saying.

First, lets say something nice.

Everyone has worked hard.

Unlike how this big mouth usually talked, I delivered a warm greeting.

Marcelo hurriedly opened his mouth.

I am sorry to say this, but Sir Hoyeol, arent you on a leave of absence? Since you have been overdoing it until now, I tried to handle it this time so that you wouldnt have to step in.

You dont have to feel bad, Marcelo.

What can I do if this is my fate?

And deep down, I missed the weight of being the chief a little bit.

The old saying wasnt wrong.

They said that if you left home, you would face hardship.

The Mage Tower is better than Akshan.

In the end, it was really about physical strength training that went beyond limits.

I almost sank into pride.

I couldnt help but think of the time I scribbled the rejection letter on Benschs application form, so I said all that.

Therefore.

Theres nothing to worry about, Marcelo.

Even if the Zero Mountain didnt appear.

I will also return to the chiefs duties from now on.

I would still return to the Mage Tower.

By the way, the expression on Elder Mage Yugwids face looked serious.

When I heard the story roughly, I could understand why she made such a serious expression.

Its a magic circle from the Great Dragon-Demon War era?

A war between the dragons and the Mage Tower.

I didnt know why they ended up fighting.

However, even if the Mage Tower was scared because of that defeat, it was clear that they had done their best.

The Mage Tower even left magic circles.

It was just a magic circle to prevent the dragons from waking up from their sleep.

I supposed the reputation of the Mage Tower at that time was not worth talking about.

But enduring such a humiliation.

They decided that a dragon was something they shouldnt mess with.

But who on earth would want to mess with them anyway?!

Actually, I.

I was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

Now that the Zero Mountain had been updated to reality.

Dragons were no longer just someone elses story.

In a nutshell, it was like trying to wake up Theferns [Being That Should Not Be Awakened].

I dont even want to imagine it, seriously.

In that regard, I couldnt waste any more time.

The earthquake and tsunami created by Zero Mountain were sufficiently suppressed by the mages of the Mage Tower.

All I had to do was prevent an even worse disaster, the dragons, from waking up.

I had to restore that ancient magic circle.

Ill take charge of the restoration of the magic circle.

Even if it was said to be an ancient magic circle.

I had Grandfels natural talent.

Additionally, I had a trick called reversal magic.

Now that I had the circle that would amplify my manifestation power.

I had no reason to hesitate.

I am not going to manifest it.

?

Its just a matter of turning it back.

!!

Just like turning back our pride.

Please dont wrap up your reversal magic in such a grand way, Grandfel.

I hoped Yugwid and Marcelo didnt flinch at how cringy it was.

As I was praying, the magic circle returned to its original form.

Ssss

Then thick fog began to rise again at the top of the exposed Zero Mountain. As if they were trying to hide the nest where the dragons were sleeping.

Crack

Meanwhile, the Zero Mountain was being updated at a rapid pace.

There was no such thing as looking up to something in the Grandfels dictionary.

I looked away from the moment the mountain range rose above my eye level.

Then Yudwids face came into view.

By the way, she looked excited.

One week. No, how many days has it been? I cant believe you got used to handling the circle freely during that short break! The beating of mana in your heart is clearer than before!

The beat of mana

Was she talking about the clanking sound of my heart beating?

Now, thanks to the elixir, the circle and my heartbeat returned to their original state. I hadnt met the conditions for [Transcendant] at that time. The effect of the circle also had been sealed.

I heard that the Tower Master went through many crises in order to fully manage the circle. In that regard, Chief Lee is truly amazing!

The effect was sealed, I was just saving my life.

I, Grandfel, kept quiet.

Actually, well, she wasnt wrong.

After all, we did go through a crisis.

While insisting on having a tea time.

I almost froze to death and passed out

Since it happened in the past, I can at least say something.

Grandfel had let go of the teacup and broke it.

The numerous crises that the Tower Master went through.

It was safe to say that I experienced it all at once in a short period of time.

Just as I was about to nod, I felt a presence.

Gasp!

Bensch William.

He looked at me and quickly closed his mouth.

From Banglets awkward expression, he must have been talking about me. I wanted to say that I missed even his below-par application form, but I didnt have time to do so.

Sk

Matis looked at me and bowed lightly.

Belliere also waved her hand lightly, and Peiyan chewed something, swallowed it quickly, and bowed her head. Lets see, Senior Kikos dark circles were still the same.

All mages of the Mage Tower were out of the tower.

If you saw it from the perspective of others.

There was nothing more majestic than this moment.

But for me, it was the same scene as always.

Once again, I, Lee Hoyeol.

I felt like I had grown up a lot.

At the same time, I felt a sense of responsibility.

Now that the Zero Mountain appeared in reality.

There was one quest that I couldnt turn away from.

[World Quest: Evil Dragon Hunter]

You who hunted a clan of evil dragons.

The legend of the mountain is calling you.

Reach the top of the Zero Mountain. (In progress)

The Zero Mountain fully revealed itself.

Its height blocked the sun in the sky.

The message that appeared was enough to scare anyone.

[Zero Mountain]

[Recommended level: Not recommended to anyone]

[Collapse progress: 100%]

From the time when Arcana was just a game until now.

The text written at the recommended level was the same.

Right.

I had to reach the top of Zero Mountain, which was not recommended for anyone.

Aside from the world quest. If I had the ability to reach the top, I wouldnt sink under Grandfels heavy pride.

I recited with a low note, looking at the mountain range.

This mountain and my pride. At last, we can compete to see which one is higher.

Please, I earnestly prayed that that no one heard it.

*

Even when the Mage Tower stepped up, the world was skeptical.

Even if this is the Mage Tower were talking about, is it possible?

Lets just shut up and watch

No;;; I cant work with just a delusion

Why are you so pessimistic?? Are you a demon??

-A bastard without a pride

Someone once said.

The higher the expectations, the bigger the disappointment would be.

But that mindset was useless.

The Mage Tower suppressed the cataclysmic disaster.

No, you couldnt even call a suppression.

No, I dont even see any ripples?!

Is that scientifically possible???

-You idiot, its magic, whats the point of mentioning science?

Then mage players should come out!!

Indeed, they were the strongest armed group on the Arcana Continent.

They just look down at the calm sea as if it were natural.

There was no trace of tension on their faces reflected in the camera.

I heard the mages are all out of the tower, but I dont see any players?

Theres no player who can get in there and show their magic

They all only understand the concept of magic.

No, wait, theres someone who can, though?!

The only player among them.

Hoyeol appeared.

Then the expressions of some of the senior mages changed drastically.

Among them, Bensch William had an expression close to consternation.

Looking at the faces of the seniors, it looks like the Mage Tower didnt expect it?

No way, did he come to work even if had some vacation left???

No, hes going to work while on vacation??

- Thats not a human thing to do!!

For the sake of humanity, he returned from his vacation Just Homen

But what attracted the most attention was Hoyeol and Marcelo.

And the person who was presumed to be an elder mage was having a conversation with them.

The studios experts analyzed the scene as if tearing it apart.

Pause

Now, if you look here, player Lee Hoyeol is manifesting his magic? Towards the top of the Zero Mountain. I dont know what kind of magic he manifested, but

They didnt even understand magic.

How could they recognize ancient magic and reversal magic?

Nevertheless, they could speculate.

You can tell by looking at the expressions on their faces.

Their expression?

If you zoom in, you can see that they both look very surprised, dont they? The level of magic displayed by Player Lee Hoyeol must be of a very high level. I expect so.

The great elder mage and chief mage of the Mage Tower was surprised by a magic?

There was no way the Nettubers would miss out on this delicious hot news.

[Lee Hoyeol, what is the magic that he manifested in Zero Mountain?!]

[After his magic manifested, the fog at the top became thicker!!]

[What? dragons live at the top of the mountain range?!]

Conjectures continued one after another.

If all the information was put together, it was like this.

To sum it up, its clear that Hoyeol-nim has sealed the dragons at the top of the Zero Mountain as we have no idea what effect it would have if they were released into reality!

Lee Hoyeol.

He sealed the dragons at the top of the Zero Mountain.

The players couldnt help but panic once more.

The might of dragons had been known since the days when Arcana was just a game.

What if the final boss is a dragon?

Is he strong enough to seal a dragon?

R-Right? When you see an elder mage called a demigod made such a surprised look Its not just a delusion, the story seems possible, isnt it?

Yusra Kingdom.

At the Golden Calf Tavern, a conversation ran back and forth 

Lakid was somehow drinking alcohol without getting drunk.

I freely admit this, Commander-in-Chief.

Gulp

Sealing a dragon?

Damn it, Hoyeol accomplished something he could never accomplish.

Since ancient times, a horse without feet was faster than a real horse.

The garden of the Golden Palace.

How dare you only grow this much after all my attention and care? If you dont want to get uprooted, try to grow bigger and more splendid.

Perk

Even Elsidore, who was threatening the bi-herbs.

He heard the rumors about Hoyeol.

Lee Hoyeol, that cheeky human sealed the dragon?

Elsidore snorted.

Hmph, thats not even funny.

That snort had a different meaning.

Its only natural since he monopolized Mothers blessing.

Elf.

It was safe to say that they were on par with dragons and were the only ones who had the right to call them lizards.

From the point of view of Elsidore, an elf, it didnt make sense to make a fuss about this.

In the first place, he even suppressed me.

Sealing the dragons in Zero Mountain shouldnt be difficult. If he hadnt been able to seal them, Elsidore wouldnt have forgiven him.

Because that means I am worse than a mere lizard.

The passionate reactions that heated up the community.

And Elsidores mutters to himself from outside the window.

Hoyeol sat down and watched all of that.

In the office of the Yusra Kingdom.

Clink

As always, he leisurely titled his teacup.

.

.

.

What the hell, when will I ever be free from peoples overestimation?

I just restored the magic circle handed down from the Great Dragon-Demon War using reversal magic. They treated me as if I was a hero who had sealed a legendary dragon!

Their praise is excessive.

Why are you puffing up your shoulders while saying that?

Anyway, things had been dynamic until the last day of the vacation.

Actually, due to Grandfels pride.

I was going to return to the Mage Tower right away.

Marcelo dissuaded me.

-Please, at least for today. The salvation that our Mage Tower and Arcana Continent received from Sir Hoyeol and the adventurers. Would you please yield to us so that we can repay it?

That was what he said.

Even Grandfel couldnt be stubborn.

Of course, the break didnt feel like a break.

The whole world was overestimating me.

How can I feel relaxed!!

Besides, I knew.

No matter how much they overestimated me.

Grandfel would definitely make it a reality and put things to stop.

The hardships will begin tomorrow.

Clink

Perhaps that was why.

I cherished my tea time.

I felt like I could understand Grandfels feeling a little bit.

Indeed, the taste and scent are flawless.

Of course, his high praise for tea bag green tea.

I still couldnt relate to it.

But still, lets enjoy our last moments.

Riiing

Riing

Ring

?

While I was making my resolution, my smartphone vibrated continuously.

I got messages.

Upon confirming the contents, I immediately changed my mind.

I guess my hardship is starting now.

Hey

Hey hey

Hey hey hey

Lee Hoyeol

They said youre on some kind of vacation

Mom, Dad, Noonas

Why havent you showed your face to them???

Please slow down, my nemesis!
