The Player Hides His Past

◈ Episode 558. Everything depends on what you think (2)

“I will ask.”

I didn’t feel like it, but I had no choice.

“Are you a demon hunter or my servant?”

Former shadow mercenary group.

I asked them. This could be known from the precedent of kitsch. No matter how many times you lost your life. The moment the contract is canceled, the contractee can start a new life.

‘If I break the contract.’

If you choose Akshan, what happens in the God Realm can just be passed over as an incident. Everyone will return as Akshan demon hunters and hunt demons for peace on the Arcana continent and for the reconstruction of the resurrected Akshan.

however.

[Kitchi withdraws from ‘Akshan.’] [Wolf withdraws from ‘Akshan.’] [Henderson withdraws from ‘Akshan.’]….

I knew it would happen…!

Is unity really good only in times like this?

Eventually all nine left Akshan.

Wolf opened his mouth to me who was silent.

“We didn’t talk about it in advance, but I didn’t know we would agree so much. “I’m sorry for giving you a chance, but it seems like I rejected it…”

Instead of giving a proper answer, I threatened him.

“It will not be easy.”

“?”

“Life as my servant.”

Why did you say ‘bell’?

‘A contract is a contract.’

It was a change of heart on my part.

To protect something.

You have to be prepared to knock something down.

Because I was the one who realized that fact.

‘I can’t go on smoothly anymore.’

Of course, our Grandfell was not a person who would forcefully involve others in his actions.

Yes, this was a declaration of sorts.

No matter what his servants do.

It was a Granfell-style way of saying that, as the owner, he would take full responsibility for everything.

I prayed desperately in my heart.

‘So change your mind now, everyone…!’

Imagine becoming a hand and foot of Granfell and being swayed around.

‘How annoying would it be?’

Of course, this does not mean that life as an Akshan demon hunter is easy. Aside from everything else, the amount of training he does is beyond imagination…

“There is no change in our decision, Commander.”

It was Wolf who spoke again.

…okay.

It really is.

“I understand what you mean.”

What should I do with this, Granfell?

It looks like there are only two of us left again.

In this damn Akshan.

“You can just leave.”

Shadow mercenaries.

‘…It’s really unfortunate.’

Considering its combat power, I thought it was literally the same as turning on automatic hunting. Why, considering your combat power, don’t you think you can easily hunt down most of the demons wandering around the Arcana Continent?

Thanks to this, Akshan’s reputation will rise day by day.

I was filled with quite a bit of anticipation.

They are leaving the office one by one.

A message shining above your sight.

[Akshan] [Current number of people: 1] [Current reputation: 4129]

…Life is so lonely.

It was a moment when I swallowed my sleep.

There was a single shadow standing still.

“Can we talk for a moment? Commander-in-Chief?”

It was kitsch.

When I nodded slightly, only Kitsch remained in the office and faced me.

So what I want to say is kitsch.

‘…Could it be that Kitsch changed his mind?’

Welcome.

Because even just one person is precious to me.

Well thought out kitsch.

If I come in now, I could become Akshan’s second-in-command?!

“It’s like passing on a contract, so there’s no shame in it.”

But what followed.

The voice was so serious that it made me feel embarrassed.

Well, I can guess why Kitsch can’t raise his head.

‘I’m sure you feel incredibly sorry.’

In a way.

Because it was like refusing my favor one after another.

But don’t worry Kitsch.

Even though our Gran Fell is in a bit of a tailspin.

In that respect, I am certain.

“If your pride says so.”

“…!”

“Follow me, that’s all I have to say.”

There was no need to ask whether it was a proud decision.

“yes…!”

Kitsch’s complexion suddenly brightened.

Anyway, kitsch has changed a lot?

When we first met in Yusra Kingdom.

I liked it because it had a similar snobbish vibe to me.

‘There is one more victim of pride lighting.’

Granfell guilty man.

It was a moment when I clicked my tongue.

Kichi grabbed the doorknob and slowly turned his head.

“And can I ask you one last favor?”

“You can tell me.”

“….”

Kichi turned around completely and lowered his head.

Then he smoothes the hem of his clothes.

Why are you just staring at the hem of your clothes?

Isn’t this a simple request?

You’re probably not asking for a guarantee or something…? I am Lee Ho-yeol. It was a moment when the nightmare of red labels all over the house began to creep into my mind again.

“…Can I keep it as is?”

So what? It’s strange, Granfell. Reject it immediately!!

“I am no longer part of Akshan, but I wear this Akshan uniform.”

What was that?

Well, that’s true then.

It wasn’t for no reason that I held on to the fluffy hem of my clothes.

‘Actually, is there any reason not to do this?’

Above all, if the Akshan clothes were recovered again, Granfell might use some excuse to sneak them on. At least to prevent such unfortunate incidents.

I responded with a condescending tone, as always.

“Of course, I will gladly give it to you.”

.

.

.

Of course, the real conversation begins now.

‘Let’s check it first.’

[Hidden Quest: Witch Hunt]

The hidden quest that was supposed to rescue the saint had completely lost its purpose. It has to be that way. Because the good-looking goddess hid inside Freyza without any face.

I checked the changed quest window.

[Hidden Quest: Whereabouts of the Goddess]

Only you know the whereabouts of the disappeared goddess.

Darkness.

Will you show mercy?

Will the appropriate punishment be given?

The choice is entirely up to you and the infinite darkness.

-Face the goddess. (In progress)

They declared war on me.

The excitement of the pantheon was gone.

As if I had seen it with my own eyes and returned, the pantheon was already in ruins.

‘The goddess who barely escaped…’

Even the goddess of Granfell was fooled by the method acting that insulted her, and she had even promised not to move within Freiza.

“It’s a vain ending worthy of an illusion.”

Hey Granfell.

Wouldn’t it be better not to think about finishing it roughly?

Because I will not overlook the reason why that was possible.

[Six Star Brooch 5/6]

Let’s think about it calmly.

If only I couldn’t retrieve the three pieces of the brooch from hell.

Could I have won this war?

‘I thought I could win.’

Until I confirmed the relic’s abilities.

[Relic: Excalibur, the heavenly sword] [Class: Myth] [Restrictions: ???] [Effect: Controls all weapons of enemies and allies.] [Description: This is a relic that has been stored in the treasury of the Pantheon. .]

The real Excalibur.

Just one item contained an effect that could determine the outcome of the war. In reality, no one could stop Guyver’s charge with Excalibur raised.

‘Not only that.’

I couldn’t confirm the effect because it wasn’t in my possession, but the relic that summoned infinite pantheon soldiers also had the ability to influence the situation of the war.

Truly a holy relic.

It meant that the person who possessed it possessed such power that it would not be strange for it to transcend time and rule a world forever. So, even the gods couldn’t use it easily.

Only if she was the most revered goddess on the Arcana continent could she keep sacred relics in her sacred place, Muon. So, I’m telling you to be honest, Granfell.

‘How can it surpass even such a holy relic?’

This [Six Star Brooch] is only [Unique] grade.

Every time the six-pointed star brooch shines.

My karma level rose sharply.

‘If the Shadow God had seen it, he would have been scared.’

What is 1,000 karma? I’ve easily surpassed 6,000 now. The power of such karma? I was able to feel it the moment I stepped into the Heavenly Demon Reign at the Pantheon.

[The relic responds to your karma.] [The relic responds to your karma.] [The relic responds to your karma.]… A relic said to be

stored in the pantheon treasury. It seemed like they were being sanctified.

I feel proud to say these things with my own mouth, but…

it felt like they were begging me to please use them.

When Gwi-cheol saw that, he muttered from his waist.

-Hehe, he is already my master.

That means.

Does this mean that the relics regard me as their master? Yes, 6,000 karma was at that level. What is the identity of the six-pointed star brooch that carries such ridiculous karma?

Dalgak.

I put the brooch down on the desk and look at it.

Still, you seem to have a conscience.

I guess he was bothered by my harsh gaze. Cube opened his mouth.

“I will return when the time is right.”

You mean the one piece left?

I’m not worried about that.

Anyway, that’s really you, Granfell.

‘But maybe that’s why I felt relieved.’

What if it was an item whose identity was unknown?

I would have put it in my inventory right away.

However, as the ghosts of hell also said.

This was originally the property of the Cloudy family of Granfell.

In the end, I decided.

‘Stop whining.’

Let’s use it until we can use it.

Of course, the god of war who escaped from the pantheon.

Even the ten thrones who would have been watching everything in the Demon World through the Demon Eyes.

Overwhelming strength was needed to not lose anything against them. This meant that the power of the six-pointed star brooch was needed. Suddenly a thought like that appears in my head.

《In the end, that is also my strength.》

Well, it all depends on what you think, right?

Unless you’re used to being in control.

It’s something you just have to get used to.

Since ancient times, there is give and take in everything. Because the six-pointed star brooch was worth the effort to be able to use it fully despite the discomfort.

‘In that sense.’

There’s a need to please Grandfell for a while, right?

To realize something.

Because we need Grandfell’s great talent.

Sweet.

I quickly moved, took out the teacup, and reached into my inner pocket.

I opened a green tea bag and slowly steeped the tea.

A relaxed voice comes out as if he is satisfied with my flattery.

“Only time passes and knows the answer.”

…What are you talking about all of a sudden?

An unexpected Granfell style of speaking.

I checked my watch and was shocked.

Before I knew it, it was exactly afternoon tea time.

Anyway, that damn tea time biological clock is accurate, right?

*

The dinner party was not enjoyable at all.

“How much does our Deputy Kim Hyeon-min drink?”

“yes? I just have a little beer…”

“Huh? Are you already taking care of your health?”

“There are things like that, and from the beginning….”

“Hey, even I, who am old, drink alcohol. Our lively Assistant Manager Kim is already thinking about his health? “If it comes out like that, I’ll be very disappointed~”

“…I’ll take it if you give it to me.”

“Okay, okay. Is there anyone who drinks well to begin with? It will increase as you drink it all. “How good is the atmosphere when Assistant Manager Kim drinks so voluntarily?”

When should I quit this damn company?

gulp.

The day Kim Hyun-min gets kicked out.

I took a sip of my drink while imagining pushing away that annoying face.

It seemed like he really wasn’t tired of that sort of thing.

“Oh my gosh, our snack killer, employee Jeong~”

I see him immediately aiming for the next target.

Kim Hyun-min soothed his sore stomach with a few pieces of meat.

I shifted my gaze to the TV.

The rising intoxication.

I couldn’t hear what was said… but

the customers sitting next to me were talking like a loudspeaker.

“I told you that you didn’t like it from the beginning?”

“What else?”

“Lee Ho-yeol, those eyes. “Your eyes are very unlucky.”

…what?

“It’s just that the arrogance dripping from your eyes… I think I’m advertising that you and I are on a different level? The way he dresses up just shows a sense of superiority…!”

…Hoyeol?

“Imagine if Lee Ho-yeol changes his mind. As I said last time, the destruction of the Earth is not an exaggeration? “The mercy shown so far was, to put it kindly, mercy, but if you look at it, it wasn’t like pitiful sympathy.”

Showing ‘tough sympathy’…?

…Jump!

Is it because I drink alcohol, which I am not good at?

If not, come now.

Is it because of regrets from a dozen years ago?

Sigh.

“Say it again, you bastard. A pitiful pity?”

“Kuh?!”

“Agent Kim Hyun-min? Hey, Assistant Manager Kim! “What’s wrong with you, man!!”

Kim Hyun-min said while holding the man by the collar.

“You talk about what you know about Ho-yeol.”

.

.

.

For Kim Hyun-min, light suddenly came one day.

“Hyunmin, have you made a group yet?”

“Huh? Huh…”

“If it’s okay with you, would you like to go on a field trip with me?”
