The Player Hides His Past

Episode 527 Hypocrisy (1)

There is darkness everywhere.

Why is everyone saying this?

I think I understand why Gran Fell was described as infinitely deep darkness.

The level of understanding is 70%, well over half.

Perhaps because of that, the sensation was different from the [blackening] of the past.

It feels like you’re floating endlessly through Gran Fell’s past.

No, it wasn’t just a metaphor.

I am certain that I am truly in an infinitely deep darkness.

I flinched—

my hand moved and I could touch my face and even my hair with that hand. There was no mirror or anything in the darkness where I couldn’t see an inch in front of me, but…

I could feel it intuitively.

‘It’s my hair that’s so picky.’

I’m not sure, but it’s probably the effect of blackening.

This is because Granfell’s personality comes to the forefront.

Could it be that I have entered the inner world of Gran Fell?

‘It’s just a guess, though.’

When I think like that, this scene becomes even more daunting.

Do whatever you want, Granfell. That’s because there are only 30% left. I thought I would use any means necessary to uncover the secret you are desperately hiding…

You are also amazing.

Is that what you think?

How in the world is your insides so dark?

Of course, I imagined you like that.

I guess my speed isn’t much different from back then.

anyway.

‘Maybe that’s why we connect.’

I took a step into the darkness.

[Understanding Darkness].

As my understanding increased, there was something I realized.

As understanding increases, the proficiency in [Heaven and the World Sovereign Children] also increases.

In addition, it becomes more difficult to control the power of Granfell.

Granfell’s personality is gradually becoming clearer.

It seemed as if Granfell’s feelings were being conveyed.

This endless darkness that is like your inner thoughts.

I can feel that they don’t welcome me exposing myself.

Nevertheless, I have no choice but to move on.

30% I don’t know yet.

What are you hiding?

I’m not sure yet.

But I will promise you one thing.

As I’ve said several times.

Even if the world doesn’t understand you.

I will understand you.

‘Why, as you say, there is give and take in everything?’

Just as you understood the dark history that even my own flesh and blood could not understand.

I will understand a past that even your own flesh and blood cannot understand.

But…

‘…even if I say this, I’m stubborn.’

How come nothing has changed?

Nothing has changed to the point where I wonder if we are even moving forward. I wondered if I could see anything as my vision adjusted to the darkness, but as expected, there was nothing to see.

chuck.

I raised my hands in despair.

I felt dizzy and my legs gave out.

If there was a wall, I felt like I had to climb on it.

It was then.

‘!’

A fleeting afterimage.

It was literally just a moment.

It was clearly visible.

Memories of Granfell’s past.

however.

I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it.

What on earth…?

It was little Granfell. I saw the young Granfell whom I had encountered in the highest level space-time quest not long ago. The little Granfell who tried to run away from Cloudy Territory was smiling.

Another Cloudy I know.

In the arms of Pride.

Damn Cloudy’s whole house like an onion.

‘What’s the situation…?’

I was confident after facing the shadow mercenaries. It’s clear that Pride has been targeting Granfell’s life ever since Granfell was just a child.

But 30%.

There was no such sign from the pride I witnessed in the inner part of Granfell. I am Lee Ho-yeol. The same thing happened when I was an office worker and skipped various events without seeming obnoxious.

‘It’s going to spin, really.’

Gran Fell and Pride.

Why is your relationship so good?

Because I couldn’t understand it.

I had no choice but to reach out again.

‘There must have been a discrepancy.’

Gran Fell and Pride.

The reason why the relationship between the two completely broke up. I wondered if that was because Granfell was chosen as the next head of the family when she turned seven…

‘No.’

I knew this because I met little Granfell.

From the age of just five or six, our Granfell was extraordinary. So much so that anyone can recognize that he is the next matriarch. Did Pride, who was close to Granfell, not know about this?

‘No way.’

…So just one more time.

Because it was so fleeting, like a flash of light.

It may be that you haven’t witnessed the reason.

It was the moment when I cautiously stretched out my hand toward the darkness.

‘?’

This time my eyes were itchy.

In this infinitely deep darkness.

A bright ray of light was seen.

…what?

While I was thinking, the light began to cover my vision more and more intensely. And it was now. A faint vibration felt in the palm of one’s hand.

[Missed call: 1 from my eldest sister]

Jiying.

[Hoyeol, I’m sorry ㅠㅠㅠ I didn’t know you called ㅠㅠㅠ]

I realized it too late.

Why did I fall into [black painting]?

And I saw it too late.

“…!”

The scenery of Jeju Island.

The curse [Paimon’s domain] that was floating in the sky was nowhere to be found. The flame that burned as if it would burn all of Jeju Island died down. Even the demons that came out of the curse were trembling with fear.

But it wasn’t the end.

Senior Fire Magician Benshee William was seriously injured and fell to the ground.

Vangrit Tom, a senior in pure magic, lost consciousness due to exhaustion of magical power.

The former shadow mercenaries, now Akshan’s new demon hunters, fell to the ground.

Freeze Magic Curtain Level.

Earth Magic Maia Deian.

The circles of the two senior wizards were damaged to the point where they could never use magic again.

That alone was enough.

I could see eyes directed at me.

It was a familiar feeling to the demon hunter.

Yes, the eyes of those looking at me were full of fear.

You realize it too late.

…What have I done?

‘Actually, I knew it, Granfell.’

That you are not as merciful as I thought.

Even though I knew that, I passed it on to you.

For Paimon.

Because I didn’t want to show even the slightest mercy.

But this was the aftermath.

I am Lee Ho-yeol.

It was the price I paid for overlooking the weight I was carrying and running wild.

I looked at the appropriate magic power flowing around me.

Creeping.

A space that even the elder wizards of the Magic Tower with great mental power cannot withstand. An extremely dark black crown, no different from that of the Invincible, was covering Jeju Island.

Wow.

But not anymore.

As I withdraw my gaze, the appropriate magic disappears.

The black crown clears and sunlight shines through it.

It’s like the inside of Gran Fell.

I was struggling in the endless darkness.

As if a ray of light had fallen.

Is it because of the light shining on it?

I was able to see things more clearly.

At this moment, the faces and emotions are changing every moment.

Fear into joy.

Concern turns to relief.

okay.

I, Lee Ho-yeol, finally.

Instead of turning away, he faced it wholeheartedly.

My weight.

So I can’t just ignore it this time.

So understand, Granfell.

I opened my mouth quietly.

“You showed unintentional indecency.”

*

“…Ugh.”

Bangrit opened his eyes with difficulty.

Where are we…?

It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.

But soon a familiar voice is heard.

“Bangrit has finally come to his senses!”

“Senior Benshi…?”

Even if only the ceiling was familiar.

You must have wondered if you were dreaming.

But Bangrit slowly stood up and lifted the blanket.

“…How many days has it been since then?”

Bensh replied with a stern expression.

“one month. “Exactly one month.”

“A month? “Such nonsense…!”

“you’re right. It’s a ridiculous joke. Ha ha ha!”

“…yes?”

joke?

Is there a joke in this situation?!

Benshi added to Bangrit, who had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

“Not even a day has passed yet. For all that, you’re in pretty good shape, right? “Even with senior Bellier’s care, it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to avoid living in a separate room for several months.”

Not even a day has passed…?

In fact, this almost sounded like a joke.

It had to be that way.

“It was definitely a serious injury…”

Even if it were a Senior Banshee who had been knocked out, he had unleashed so much magic that he was a burden to the circle that was not open. Banshee chuckled.

“What harmony would you like?”

“…no way.”

“That’s right. “They say Chief Lee came and went when we fainted.”

“…!”

Only then did Bangrit let out a sigh of relief.

The last thing I saw was the moment I lost consciousness.

Because that was Chief Lee’s cold gaze.

“It was unprecedented. Who would have thought that this supreme leader of the world would admit his mistake. Oh, I absolutely do not mean that our Chief Lee is a shameless person who knows nothing about his mistakes?!”

Bensh hurriedly waved his hand.

“Because Chief Lee was a person who never committed mistakes in the first place… In that sense, he could have easily gotten away with it this time as well.”

Perspective of a senior magician at the Tower.

This was something he could say, especially since he was a banshee who wielded the William family’s arcane magic, which came at a price. He spoke in a calm voice that was not typical of Benshi.

“I assure you, no one could have stopped it. Even if it’s not Paimon, it’s the primordial Satan who is the commander of the 1st Corps. “Can’t you tell just by looking at the curtains and what Senior Maia has become?”

Curtain Rebel and Maia Deian.

The two were senior wizards who had guarded the Magic Tower for a long time.

In particular, Senior Maia was another genius whose achievements as an Earth Mage were evaluated as second only to Elder Yugweed.

However, even those two seniors were exhausted as they devoted all their energy to dealing with the 4th Corps commander.

On the other hand, a separate room.

The two are still unconscious.

Bensh, who was looking at them, continued speaking.

“But Paimon wasn’t everything. “Because an unknown ‘grasp’ appeared that easily crushed Paimon.”

“…I did.”

“Surely Chief Lee expected that.”

thus.

“I guess you made the decision that you had no choice but to use power that you couldn’t fully control. Who would dare criticize that choice?”

Bangrit nodded.

“Furthermore, if you know what kind of person this chief is…”

“That’s what I’m saying, Bangrit.”

“yes?”

“To my shame, I ended up being happy.”

“what…?”

Bensh smiled without a wrinkle.

“Chief Lee, who doesn’t need to ask for your understanding, was happy to admit your mistake. “I finally thought that Chief Lee, who was hiding everything I knew, had finally returned.”

“If that’s the case… “I feel the same way.”

“is it so? If so, that’s comforting. Honestly, I was worried. “Did you unintentionally look at Chief Lee with suspicion out of a sense of needless resentment?”

Bangrit was inwardly shocked.

Senior Benshi has a secretly sharp side?

Actually, Bensh continued speaking without knowing anything.

“I can assure you that those who know Chief Lee’s personality would have dispelled their concerns with this. But it would be unreasonable to expect that for everyone.”

“…Has it spread by any chance?”

“Wouldn’t you say so? Isn’t everything so fast? “This world.”

This is also thanks to Kii’s exploration.

Benshi and Bangrit were accustomed to breaking news on social media through the airwaves. Not only that, but you could guess it just by looking at the chaotic atmosphere of the Magic Tower.

Bensh said meaningfully.

“Perhaps a great wind will blow in this world.”

A screen that never wavered.

It was a natural order since Chief Lee was shaken.

Bangrit also answered meaningfully.

“We need to prepare so as not to be swayed by the wind.”

“Senior Bangrit. “It sounds reassuring when I hear it, doesn’t it?”

“It’s a bit weird to hear such words from Senior Benshi…”

“What? “Does this mean I’m not trustworthy?”

“Honestly, it doesn’t exist, that kind of aspect….”

“Ha?”

“Why, just by looking at the contents of the application form….”

“Are you really going to stab me in that painful corner?!”

Both of you, be childish.

More than that, there was a commotion in the recovery room.

No matter how senior wizards they are…!

Klee, an experienced magician from the healing school, mustered up courage and coughed.

“Hmm…!”

Then Bangrit was the first to regain his senses.

Is it thanks to that?

Even though it was late, the thought came to me.

“More than that, where is Chief Lee now?”

As always, if a strong wind blows.

It was Chief Lee who would be the first to face that wind.

Bangrit shook his head.

Nevertheless, if it is a magic tower…

it can avoid any wind.

It could be a safe haven.

But you always showed actions that went beyond imagination.

“Huh? You went back to Jeju Island?!”

Why go to that island where it won’t be the windiest day…?!
