The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 600 – Special Week (6)

Flashing vision.

[□□ □□ □□□ □□, ‘□□’□ □□□□□].

Goosebumps broke out all over my body.

Nam Cheolmin pushed his glasses up and looked at his only brother.

At the same time, he asked Nam Taemin, who had entered the anomaly realm.

“Taemin, do you see anything?”

“No, hyung.”

But Nam Taemin was just as puzzled.

The reason for the mosaic message is simple.

A moment when the person the message refers to has a different ‘status’ and cannot be understood.

The message is covered by the mosaic.

We have entered the anomaly realm.

“Shit.”

Crash.

The next moment, countless cannons protruding from the Iron Castle began to aim for the Behemoth’s Maw. Hakuna and Baek Yiseol, who had followed, stopped beside Nam Taemin.

Hakuna’s voice was serious.

“Something is coming.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“And something very powerful.”

“ ……! ”

How did you recognize that?

Nam Taemin was honestly surprised.

As we’ve seen, Hakuna was far from a sword or magic expert until a year ago. Call it a late-blooming talent that has developed at an unbelievable rate.

‘Battlefield senses is not something you can easily obtain.’

Besides, Hakuna was an arcanian.

Player’s Sight.

That meant he couldn’t even sense danger through the messages that flashed through his mind.

“All armies, prepare for battle!”

But Hakuna understood the gravity of the situation. He wasn’t the only one to be surprised. Baek Yiseol, her long hair tied up in a tight bun, approached Nam Taemin.

“Taemin, did you get the message?”

“Yeah, I saw it.”

“Unlucky. He is the Demon King of the Seventh Throne.”

“What, what?”

Taemin wasn’t surprised by Baek Yiseol’s unexpected informal reply. The reason Nam Taemin didn’t like Baek Yiseol. It was because Baek Yiseol, his older brother, was at a disadvantage.

What is it this time, that he can’t understand even a single letter? He felt frustrated, but not discouraged. Nam Taemin looked first at the Iron Castle flying overhead.

“Tell Mr. Chainwalker about this situation.”

“Yes!”

Nam Taemin’s words were answered by a member of the Great Alliance.

The mage player sends a telepathic message.

The Iron Castle ceases flight immediately.

It was because it made him look old.

Nam Taemin asks back with a stern face.

“You, what did you just say?”

“You? Taemin, no matter what, I’m friends with Cheolmin.”

“Yes, Baek Yiseol. So what did you just say?”

Umm.

Older sister. (tl/n: ‘You’ in this conversation addressing Baek Yiseol like old lady)

Baek Yiseol, feeling a little creeped out by the disgusting label, replies.

“I said I’m the demon king of the seventh throne…….”

“Did Nuna see that mosaic message?”

“Yes, not all of it, but I could see it.”

How?

At Nam Taemin’s reaction, Baek Yiseol could not help but be puzzled like someone who saw something they shouldn’t have. As expected, her puzzlement didn’t last long. Soon, a loud noise started coming in.

Kugugugugugugung!

This is it.

The Behemoth’s Maw.

Upon this land, Nam Taemin has seen it.

The Tenth Throne, Buer.

And the one who sought the Tenth Throne of Buer.

The Demon Lich, Discus.

‘It’s on a different level.’

It was correct to say that they were on a different level from the atmosphere that occurred when they appeared.

The hairs on my back stood on end.

It hasn’t shown itself yet.

A feeling of being suffocated just by the approaching sound.

If you are even a little distracted, it will be as it is.

A sense of tension that it wouldn’t be surprising if one’s life ran away.

The analyst for the Great Alliance.

He had to judge the situation calmly.

Nam Cheolmin blurted out without realizing it.

“There’s definitely something……!”

But it was okay.

Sreung.

Nam Taemin raised his greatsword and muttered.

“I understand, hyung.”

“……Taemin?”

“I understand why the commander-in-chief arranged this combination.”

Hakuna and Baek Yiseol.

Though in different ways, both of them were clearly seeing.

Something beyond the mosaic of messages.

Nam Taemin was not mistaken.

‘It’s not just a matter of strength.’

Hakuna and Baek Yiseol have the ability to see through the veil. Trying to figure out how they can do that will give me a headache.

“King Hakuna and Baek Yiseol.”

seug.

Nam Taemin turns his head and stares at the two of them.

No matter how much he looks at them.

Because it was a combination that couldn’t find anything in common.

“What are you looking at?”

“Do you have something to say?”

“No, I don’t.”

But Nam Taemin raised his eyebrows.

He didn’t care if he couldn’t understand it, because he could trust that this was the Commander in Chief’s arrangement, and he didn’t feel bad about being included in it.

puhwag-

It was then.

The Seventh Throne Demon King rose from Behemoth’s Maw.

Nam Taemin immediately awakened his [Wildness].

[Activate Unique Skill, ‘Call of the Wild’].

The vision of a beast.

Then, on the horizon, he could clearly see the figure of the Ten Thrones.

It was a beast.

I don’t say that because its form was like a beast.

Buer, Paimon, Barbatos.

Conversation was possible.

It was different from the other Ten Thrones I had seen.

The fact that he was able to understand that fact from afar was possible because of Nam Taemin, who is closer to ‘wild nature’ than anyone else and was able to perfectly control that wild nature.

“We don’t need to move forward, it’s a wild beast, it’s natural for it to see us as prey and pounce on us first. What we need to do is dig a trap here and wait.”

Nam Taemin continues calmly.

“……I see.”

Only then did Nam Cheolmin’s heartbeat begin to return to normal. If Nam Taemin realized it through Hakuna and Baek Yiseol, Nam Cheolmin realized it by seeing the big picture drawn with his younger brother, Nam Taemin.

“Everything was arranged by the commander-in-chief.”

I was convinced.

The commander in chief knew that the seventh demon king of the throne, ‘Amon’, would appear here. He knew that Amon was a beast, and he knew that Hakuna and Baek Yiseol could see through it.

‘That means’

The commander-in-chief must have decided that we can hunt Amon.

That would give me a confidence I didn’t have before.

I did not trust my own judgment, which was as wavering as a shaking reed.

“All ready!”

I’m trusting my judgment, trusting that the Commander-in-Chief has trusted me.

The Holy War Alliance.

This was the moment they were truly united and ready to face Amon. Behemoth’s Maw, the vision of the players gathered on this battlefield flashed once more.

[Bael, the First Throne Demon King, begins to look over the Arcana continent].

As usual, not a single word is recognizable.

But that’s okay.

Because there was an arrangement made by the Commander-in-Chief.

Nam Taemin asked.

“What are the words, Baek Yiseol?”

Baek Yiseol shook her head.

“Are you speaking informally again? I’m sorry. I can’t even see this one, not a single word.”

“ ?? ”

Nam Cheolmin and Nam Taemin.

There was no way to tell who spoke first.

A question appeared on the brothers’ faces.

“It’s okay if you don’t know.”

“What are you talking about, Cheolmin? Isn’t it funny that you depend on me in the first place? I’m still struggling because I haven’t even reached level 600. I haven’t even seen the anomaly realm you mentioned?”

“That’s not it, Yi-eol. What you don’t know is ……. ”

Nam Cheolmin swallowed his words.

‘……It means that something went astray from the arrangement.’

So far, there has been no deviation from the commander-in-chief’s arrangement.

The Commander-in-Chief placed the Holy War Alliance in the right place as if he was looking at even Amon, the Seventh Demon King on the throne who appeared at this moment, in the palm of his hand.

What kind of being arranged.

“……!”

The words echoed in Nam Cheolmin’s head.

“No, it’s true, Paimon was impaled by a giant hand and died. You should have seen it. I have no idea what that bastard was.”

Nam Cheolmin was convinced.

The Commander-in-Chief is not a person who will give up his duties to others.

Especially not if it’s a demon.

But it was an unknown hand that killed Paimon on Jeju Island. If so, the story fits. The Grasp is an entity outside of the Commander in Chief’s control.

‘Even in the demon world, can there be two such beings?’

Nam Cheolmin shook his head and exclaimed.

“It’s the Grasp, Taemin!”

“Grasp?”

“The one that appeared on Jeju Island!”

It was then.

Kkieeeeeeg–

A terrible scream echoed through the Arcana continent.

Gugugugug.

From the soles of their feet.

To the very hairs on their heads.

A violent vibration rises up.

A message flashed into the player’s vision.

[Hidden Piece, “Behemoth’s Maw” has been destroyed].

The Behemoth’s Maw, which cried out in pain at Amon’s appearance, was unable to endure the pain this time and was destroyed.

“?!!”

The passage between the Arcana Continent and the Demon World.

The passage has collapsed.

It means that neither the demons nor we can cross over to the other side now.

All sorts of thoughts ran through my head, but they didn’t linger for long.

Too much.

The noise of something being torn apart.

The first thing I noticed.

It was Nam Taemin who was watching with the eyes of a wild beast.

“……brother.”

“What?”

“You were right.”

Yes, it was the Grasp.

The same grasp that had exploded Paimon had grabbed the head of the Seventh Throne Demon King, Amon. Amon’s body was as massive as his grasp, but he could not resist.

jijijijijig.

With an even louder noise, Amon’s throat was ripped open, and it was then that everyone realized what had happened. Amon’s blood spurted into the sky like a fountain of blood.

Cwaaaaggh.

But was it because it was more like a beast without reason?

kudeug.

Amon’s head was ripped off, but his body was still moving. The muscles of its limbs tensed in anger at the hand that had separated its body from its head.

But it was a futile struggle.

Kukukung.

The grasp crushed the Seventh Throne Demon King.

Kukkukkukkung.

In front of this creature.

As if laughing at their resolve as they risked their lives.

It is crushed cruelly.

Stop.

Nam Cheolmin involuntarily took a step backward.

‘A being that has escaped even the commander-in-chief’s arrangements.’

Naturally, there is no chance we can win.

Nam Cheolmin immediately made a judgment.

The best thing to do is to manifest a portal and leave this battlefield. However, manifesting such a large-scale portal would take time, and that was only if the Grasp was still willing to let them go alive.

Also.

‘If we leave this way.’

The Grasp’s purpose would be unknown.

I had no intention of letting such a creature loose on the Arcana Continent. An existence that could single-handedly drive the continent to ruin.

Nam Cheolmin was determined.

‘I’m sorry, everyone.’

We have no chance.

We can only stall for time.

He couldn’t convey his judgment to the Holy War Alliance.

He couldn’t demoralize them.

But Taemin knows everything.

Taemin nodded in agreement with his brother’s judgment.

Then he turned his gaze back to the Behemoth’s Maw.

However.

…..! ”

It was a split second.

The giant grasp was nowhere to be seen.

Then, a tingling sensation from the top of his head.

A flickering vision.

[※Warning: instant death will occur]
[※Warning: instant death will occur]
[※Warning: instant death will occur]

Suddenly, there was a hand on top of his head.

“Shit.”

Helpless.

I never thought I’d die like this.

But I suppose this is the end of the road for players.

Fortunately among misfortunes, I didn’t have to worry about what would happen next.

Damn, I didn’t want to say this out loud.

‘Please, Hisagi. Leonie.’

I know you can’t fill my empty seat alone.

…..

How could two of them fill it up?

So please, form a Great Alliance.

Please ask the commander-in-chief.

‘Your judgment was absolutely not wrong, Mr. Hoyeol.’

That was the moment Nam Taemin finished his thought.

pulsseog.

The sound of someone falling.

“Your Majesty!”

“Master!”

“ ……! ”

Hakuna and Baek Yiseol.

The two people lost their minds and fainted.

It was only then that Nam Taemin realized his sense of discomfort.

“?”

As if the two had gotten what they deserved for falling down.

The grip on his head had disappeared without a trace.

Nam Taemin looked at the two who had fallen on the floor.

‘What the hell is going on?’

*

[Curses: Claudi’s Discipline].

“See for yourself, Skal.”

Frostnax joined the dragons.

He soared toward Claudi’s castle.

He saw his kin falling.

“Perhaps this is the truth about Claudi.”

His eyes saw through Frostnax’s.

Skal’s player vision.

He saw, too.

The sins that Claudi bore.

[The Seven Deadly Sins, “Greed,” pledge allegiance to Claudi.]

[The Seven Deadly Sins, ‘Lust’, pledge allegiance to Claudi.]

Skal gritted his teeth as he remembered Hoyeol.

‘So that’s what it was…’

Grandfell Claudi Arpheus Romeo.

He is.

He was the demon that possessed Hoyeol.
