ALL NOVEL
Chapter 109: Don't you regret it
AAU.
A virtual meeting of the branch heads was being held.
However, no matter how much they put their heads together, they couldnt figure it out.
The starting point was, of course, Hoyeol.
Its confusing, starting with Player Lee Hoyeol. So confusing.
Emergency update.
Eleven [Cracked Dimension Gap] ruptures that appeared simultaneously shortly thereafter. How could Hoyeol clear all those ruptures in a short time?
It was too much to keep up.
How come Muons situation is still the same?
The very next day.
A bomb exploded in the regular update.
Arcanains who were hostile to humanity.
AAU had no choice but to be nervous.
There doesnt seem to be much change from the outside. If the hostility toward humanity within Muon grew, it would likely increase, not decrease. Theyll be sick and tired of seeing drones floating overhead.
The Holy Land of the Goddess Church, Muon.
As Muon had shown hostility, it was natural for the world to be wary of Muon. But most of all, there was a bigger problem. It was the existence of Freiza, the Saintess of Goddess Church.
Freiza. What the hell is that NPC
Freiza had existed since the days when Arcana was a game.
So they couldnt help but question it.
If she were a saintess of the Goddess Church, she was definitely an NPC of considerable importance.
She wouldnt be an NPC randomly printed by artificial intelligence like a villager Even when an official letter was circulated to all AAU employees, no one knew anything about Freiza.
In the end, the answer is probably one of the two.
Raymond Sean. If hes not involved
Its a really unknown existence that even we dont know. Like the great evil that appeared in the Yusra Kingdom.
Whatever it is, it doesnt change that your mind will break. Seriously.
The world was changing rapidly.
Jessie Heinness has left Shining. And because of Unions aggressive rupture raid, the guild ranking eventually changed. For the first time since the tally, Union has topped the guild rankings.
The order of power also fluctuated accordingly.
Gaon, Inazuma, and Berserker had no official announcement. In fact, it would be more correct to say that theyve established a great alliance. Their force is expected to not lag behind Shining and Union.
Concerns were bound to follow in many ways.
Even if it is a great alliance, Union is
Indeed.
China was holding out after Union.
China was the only country in the world that established its own line, with no interaction with AAU.
Now, the influence of Union had become stronger. The variable called China was bound to become even bigger.
Maybe weve reached the limit.
After the Cataclysm.
AAU attempted to respond to the erosion of Arcana by predicting numerous variables.
However, the latest update was simply unexpected. They had no choice but to admit their limitations.
They wished at least one of the tangled threads would be untangled.
Silence
In that heavy atmosphere, someone opened their mouth.
But its such a great coincidence.
What do you mean?
How come all the tangled threads are pointing in one direction?
Yes?
The fact that [Cracked Dimension Gap] was created as an emergency update. Jessie Heinnes last track record before leaving the Shining Guild. Also, the great alliance of Gaon, Inazuma, and Berserker. They all involve Player Lee Hoyeol, right?
!
Perhaps Player Lee Hoyeol knows Muon that we cant even understand. And perhaps he knows something about Freiza. What do you think?
There was someone who reacted particularly strongly to that question.
Wait a minute, what are those looks in your eyes?
It was Park Minjae, the head of AAUs South Korean branch.
He shook his head and pleaded.
By any chance, if youre expecting something from me. Give up those thoughts quickly. Everyone is saying that there is no contact point with Lee Hoyeol. Did you not see the interview? Player Lee Hoyeol is the one those persistent reporters and netizens are all scared of. How can I dare!
*
The fluctuating guild rankings.
4th place in guild ranking, Bohemian.
The guild master, Gyver, shuddered.
Fuck, it all gets twisted
He thought he could turn the tables on Muon.
Muon, who was thought to be a jackpot, didnt even let them scratch the lottery ticket, let alone win.
Yesterday and today, they only wasted their time.
Union cleared the new rupture.
They finally reached the top of the guild rankings.
Ridiculous.
Of course, Union wasnt the only one that cleared the new rupture.
Because Lee Hoyeol was there.
According to the testimony of the players.
The times when Union cleared [Mantra Mine Block 2] and Lee Hoyeol cleared [Mantra Mine Block 1] were similar.
No, I saw that Lee Hoyeol was a little faster
But he was faster than Union by himself???
He wasnt alone, though? There was a person wearing a robe next to him
If shes wearing a robe, isnt she a mage??? Could she be a mage of the Mage Tower??
No Have some restraint on your brain;; Facts are enough
Even if Lee Hoyeol is the chief, being able to move the mages as he wants would be too much; Considering that the Mage Tower has been sitting still all this time.
Lee Hoyeol.
It was common that there were numerous speculations about where he appeared.
Gyver was neither jealous nor angry.
Just one thing.
In the end, Gaon, Inazuma, and Berserker!
3rd place in guild ranking, Gaon.
5th place in guild ranking, Inazuma.
The 4th-place position was already at stake and yet.
The two competitors above and below joined forces.
Along with Berserker, which was from the same EU!
Not only the guild ranking, but also the title of being the strongest in the EU.
It couldnt be like this.
Being impatient, Gyver couldnt stand still.
He wanted to run towards a new rupture right away, but As he said, [Mantra Mine], the two ruptures had already been cleared by Hoyeol and Union.
There were also strong competitors in the remaining ruptures.
What was left for Gyver was.
I need to make a decision.
In the end, only Muon was left.
Knowing that fact.
A base camp, which was usually installed near a rupture, was installed in front of Muon. Muons gate was still firmly closed. Gyver thought hard.
No matter what, they cant ignore the rules.
No matter how stern the warning was.
They were the paladins of Muon who served the Goddess.
Although the religion he served was different, Gyver was also a paladin.
He was aware of the strict discipline of the paladin.
A paladin cant attack civilians first.
So youre really going to approach Muon?
Because nothing will change if I just sit back and watch.
He put down his weapon and approached Muon.
He would try to talk to them.
Gyver didnt hesitate.
Thump
As he moved to Muon, his heart beat with tension. It was a heartbeat mixed with a little anticipation. There was a lot of interest in Muon right now.
If the talk went well.
If Muon changed their hostile attitude.
If they opened the gate.
Not only Bohemian, but also his own stock price would soar.
But that didnt happen.
!
Because the common sense of the paladin collapsed.
Gyver was also one of the rankers.
At that moment, his developed senses sent a warning.
The atmosphere he felt on the castle walls.
Clink!
It was the sound of a bowstring pull.
Swoosh!
Swooosh!
Not only had he put down his weapon, he also raised both hands.
Gyver who was approaching Muon.
Arrows were pouring down on his defenseless figure.
It wasnt a threat.
It was really a life-threatening preemptive strike.
Twang!
Those crazy bastards are really!!
Arrows came down to Gyvers body.
If Bohemian guild members hadnt stepped forward and struck down the arrows.
He wouldnt have been able to breathe like he did now.
Realizing that fact, Gyver managed to open his mouth.
Muon, the Goddess Church, is not the one I knew.
And this whole situation had gone through the airwaves.
EU was more furious than anyone else.
They immediately made an official statement.
We will never sit back and watch Muons hostile actions.
It was tantamount to a declaration of war against Muon.
Reactions from other countries were not much different either.
No, there were also rumors that it was something that would explode eventually.
It would have been better if there were only a few NPCs There was concern every time a regional or city-level update was made. In the first place, It was a misjudgment to judge that the Arcana people would be friendly to us humans.
It might be a different case back when it was just a game.
Why would they be friendly to humanity?
To be honest, it was difficult to count them with one hand.
Maybe the case of the Yusra Kingdom or Frost was exceptional.
Although the regular program started after the breaking news.
Shocking data screen played over and over again.
The hosts still had grim expressions.
Moreover, as though they didnt care about such reactions at all.
Muons gate was tightly closed.
If Muon continues to show hostile behavior, that is a huge variable for humanity. In the worst case scenario, we might really have to blow up the entire Muon
What should they do with muon?
There seemed to be no answer in sight right now.
Yeah, until a guy showed up on Muon.
Is he crazy? Who is that?
The camera that was showing the view of Muon hurriedly enlarged the screen.
A man was approaching Muon fearlessly.
First of all
It wasnt Lee Hoyeol. Indeed, if Lee Hoyeol had appeared, their smartphone would have been vibrating nonstop.
The headquarters would have yelled at them to not miss Hoyeols movements.
Even if hes a Nettuber, that bastard has crossed the line
They thought that person was just an attention-seeking Nettuber.
But it was strange.
For a Nettuber.
The man wasnt wearing filming equipment.
Besides, his outfit was unusual.
An old-fashioned uniform.
It looked closer to a fantasy setting than reality.
The players seemed certain.
Is there anyone who comes to mind?
If he looks that big, he must be very unique.
Well?
That wasnt wrong.
Exceptionally tall.
Stretched arms and legs.
A skinny body.
It was something you couldnt easily forget once you saw it.
Was there a player like that?
None of the players came to mind.
However, unlike the reporters who were confused. Likewise, there were people at the Bohemian Guild base camp who were watching the scene and recognized the mans identity.
Yes, they were mages.
W-What? Why?
To be exact, they were mages who were capable of attending regular conferences.
Chief Mage Marcelo has appeared in Muon?!
*
The news of Muon had been shaking the world for days.
It was natural for the Mage Tower to hear the news.
Marcelo let out a small smile.
Sir Hoyeol. Its finally my turn.
Starting with the study of [oddity].
Even the disposition of the demon worshipers.
He had only been indebted to Hoyeol all this time.
I keep in mind that there is give and take in everything.
Finally, he received it.
The opportunity to pay off his debt to Hoyeol.
However.
I also know that this is not something I should do arbitrarily.
It wasnt a simple matter as long as Muon was entangled.
Yes, the Goddess Church and Akshan.
And the Mage Tower.
There was the Holy War intertwined between them. Determined, Marcelo didnt hesitate. He went straight to Hoyeol. And he let it all out.
Clink
Unsurprisingly, Hoyeol wasnt shaken.
His expression and behavior were no different from usual.
Marcelo could feel it.
As expected, Sir Hoyeol knew everything.
That was the only reaction he could think of.
Therefore, his thoughts became more firm.
Marcelo continued.
Sir Hoyeol, will you leave this matter to me?
Marcelo knew.
Even if Sir Hoyeol had known.
Even if he didnt express it.
The past that existed didnt go away.
The elder mages fault.
No, even if it was the demon worshipers fault.
It couldnt be excused or absolved.
Besides, hadnt Sir Hoyeol also said that?
So that Mage Tower can maintain formality with Lord Akshan.
.
.
.
Often the players said:
Mage Tower? Honestly, arent they just all talks?
No, theres no result to show.
Why are their modifiers so grand when theyre not moving at all?
From the days when Arcana was just a game until now.
It was the Arcanains who reacted more violently than anyone else to such rude remarks.
To be exact, thy were the Arcanains who had witnessed the movements of the Mage Tower in the past.
Its because youve never seen it.
The mages of the Mage Tower are not human.
Please, dont touch the Mage Tower. I dont want sparks flying.
But at this moment.
There was no need for further explanation.
The chief mage of the Mage Tower, Marcelo.
He showed up on Muon.
There would be no other opportunity like this to prove it.
If you watch, you will know. Whether its an exaggeration or not.
Since hes in the same chief position as Lee Hoyeol. Arent those two roughly similar?
If we do well, will we be able to figure out Lee Hoyeols power?
The Mage Tower.
How would the Chief Mage block Muons attack? As he got closer to Muon, the viewers couldnt help but look forward to it.
However.
?
That expectation also didnt come true.
Because it didnt rain arrows like it happened with Gyver.
Just.
Creak!
The gate, which had been tightly closed, opened as if it were a lie.
A paladin walked out through the open gate.
Everything is arranged by the Saintess. We dont need any help.
Anyone who approaches Muon.
We will punish you in the name of the Goddess.
He was the man who had been spewing out hostile words toward humanity.
That alone was a surprise.
Soon, the people watching realized.
Why the Mage Tower was called the strongest armed group on the Arcana continent. Why the emperor of the Empire offered tribute in order not to offend the Magic Tower instead of being given tribute.
!!!
As if he were willing to risk death.
The paladin who had seemed as if he had nothing to fear.
That man was bowing down to Marcelo with a white face.
Shock
Someone whispered.
So, Lee Hoyeol is on the same level as that kind of person?
