The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 206: Lucky Day (2)

The Arcana Continent.

The Imperial Capital, Antonium.

The Iron Castle was floating in the sky.

Sometimes imperial wheat beer is not so bad.

Sometimes? You have to say it straight. Hasnt it been decades?

Is that so? Hahaha. Thats why its worth drinking it.

The fatigue from smelting remained in their body.

Despite their bottom-down fatigue.

After drinking beer, the dwarves returned to their daily routine.

Now that the demons activities had slowed down, their top priority was:

The Reconnaissance Squadron prepares to go out.

Finding the wreckage of the Qinberg Machine Tower.

In order to play that role.

A small airship, Scepter, mounted inside the Iron Castle.

Dwarf pilots each boarded the Scepter.

Veteran pilot Gunner opened his mouth playfully.

But, Chainwalker.

?

Isnt this a drunk flight? Hahaha.

Chainwalker reacted to the unsightly joke.

Hey, wasnt it just a few hours ago that you were complaining that the beer was lighter than water? Stop talking nonsense and go. Its almost time to leave Antonium, too.

Thanks to Hoyeol defeating the high-ranking demon king.

Peace came to the Arcana Continent.

Thanks to this, they stopped flying for a while and stayed in Antonium.

But the Holy War was still proceeding.

They didnt know when, where, and what kind of incident would happen.

The people of Antonium, especially the tavern merchants, will be disappointed.

Lets see, how many did we buy?

Gurner, how many bottles did you empty by yourself as you claimed it was no different from plain water?

Did I do that? Hahaha.

Worswyle looked at the empty interior of the ship.

He hadnt been able to go wild when the survivors of the village of Dredsen, the little ones, ran around. When they disappeared, the vacancy felt quite large.

Chainwalker spoke to him.

Im thinking of meeting the Emperor before I leave.

Really? You? For what reason?

Since Akshans annihilation.

The dwarves completely cut off interaction with humans. Even the emperor of the Empire couldnt be an exception.

In some ways, Akshans annihilation was also the Emperors fault for failing to properly manage its territory.

Did time make you forget the past, Chainwalker?

At Worswyles question, Chainwalker shook his head.

No. I cant forget it.

He promised himself to leave his resenment behind.

But at the same time, there was Hoyeol.

Akshan, the last survivor.

Chainwalker thought about it from his perspective.

Thats why Im going to break my stubbornness and meet him.

Sir Hoyeol.

He definitely wouldnt turn his back on Antonium or the Empire. Therefore, Chainwalker planned to directly convey the information collected from the reconnaissance to the Emperor.

If he has learned a lesson from the past, wouldnt he take our words to heart?

.

.

Whining

The Scepter glided through the sky.

The small airship was smaller than a carriage.

The size of the cockpit was also custom-made for dwarves, and was barely large enough for Dredsens children to board.

Lets see. The wreckage.

Even though the Scepter was small, it still had everything they needed.

Its tech was capable of finding the remains of machine towers scattered across the continent from high in the sky. It wouldnt be surprising to say that Scepter was a part of Iron Castle, the culmination of dwarven technology.

?

The Scepter detected an abnormal signal.

The mana-sensitive instrument panel fluctuated wildly.

Gunners face tensed for a moment.

Maximum?

It didnt just reach the maximum.

It was shaking left and right as if it was going to break through the dashboard.

There must be a cause for this level of mana sensitivity.

Gunner looked around.

Dark clouds suddenly fell in the sky.

Flash

A lightning out of nowhere?

Roar!

What kind of damn weather is this?!

Even the Iron Castle, which was hundreds or thousands of times larger than the Scepter, could not fly freely in bad weather.

Not only it was raining, but he also had to ride the Scepter through the sky where the thunder and lightning were pouring down?

To put it in other words, it was suicide.

I guess this is a dwarf-style natural death.

He was already far away from the Iron Castle.

Flash

Even if he did his best to fly from here on, it would be impossible to return safely.

Lightning struck loudly in the sky.

But Gunner didnt turn the steering wheel.

Sky, do you think Im going to just back down?

He had experience in the Holy War.

He realized the importance of information.

Akshan, he couldnt hear what had happened to them.

Without providing any help.

He had no choice but to watch their end.

Thunderbolt? I just have to avoid it.

The moment he declared, the instrument panel shook even more.

He wouldnt run the Iron Castle as a pilot until he found the source.

Gunner controlled the Scepter without stopping.

And he witnessed it.

!

Zero Mountain had moved into the world of adventurers.

Thanks to this, a vast flat land was created.

Some beings appeared there.

T-There!

The Scepters ability was capable of examining even the remains of the machine towers.

That was why he was able to recognize it.

The pointed ears.

Elf?

Elf, not just one or two of them.

They had never appeared on the Arcana Continent before, it was hard to believe. Nearly 100 elves were standing on the flat ground in a group.

Whats up with them?

They gathered in a place like this?

The reason was unknown, but it was something to be concerned about.

Gunner swallowed dryly and held on tightly to the steering wheel.

I have to go back before its too late.

His mind was screaming but he ignored it.

However, even the dwarfs unique persistence couldnt last long.

Sparkle

Light touched his vision.

At first, he thought it was a thunderbolt.

But it wasnt.

!

Lightning fell from the sky.

But now the flash rose from the ground to the sky.

To be precise, it was scretching towards him, toward the Scepter.

In a split second, he could tell intuitively.

Theyve noticed my existence!

Clink

Astonished, he reflexively turned the steering wheel.

A flash of light narrowly missed him.

The reverberations belatedly hit his eardrums.

Bzzz!

!

It was the kind of roar that could only be heard from the Iron Castles magic ray cannon.

However, the current flash was not that impressive.

Gunners pupils shook wildly.

I-It was just an arrow!

The fact that he escaped it was a miracle, literally a stroke of luck.

Even if I could avoid the lightning, it was dangerous!

Clink!

Gunner hurriedly turned the steering wheel.

Why did the elves take action as a group?

He couldnt figure out the reason, but he knew one thing for certain.

They dont discriminate against anyone.

They pulled their bowstring against those who went against their wishes without even thinking about it. That alone was valuable information to the dwarves. It must be the same for the Empire and Hoyeol.

Crash!!

Damn it, should I say I am lucky?

In the pouring thunderstorm.

Gunner, who returned safely to the Iron Castle, muttered. When he ran straight to Chainwalker, several dwarf pilots were already engaged in conversation with serious faces.

Chainwalker. And everyone, I have to tell them.

The emergence of the elves was more important than any other news.

That was what he thought and he opened his mouth.

He was wrong.

The sound of conversation became clearer as he got closer.

The demon, that energy was definitely at the level of a demon king.

Demon king? Thats crazy..!

Why is your face like that?

Damn it, I witnessed something too.

Witness? What do you mean?

You may not know. But Chainwalker, you remember. In the past, when our king was still alive. A male human came to our kingdom.

Chainwalker asked back in shock.

If youre not referring to Akshan No way, are you talking about Urus?

Thats right. The man who got the mechanical arm from us. Its that mechanical arm. It was definitely Urus of the Iron Arm! That guy has appeared on the Arcana Continent again!

Oh my god.

Oh my god, he said.

Look, thats what I want to say.

Ah, Gunner. You returned safely too?

Chainwalker, is everything I just heard true? The demons start moving again. Urus of the Iron Arm has appeared on the Arcana Continent again?

Yes, its just as you heard.

Damn it, what is going on?

Gunner continued.

I witnessed the elves. A hundred of them.

!!!

Gunner let out a sigh of relief.

Everyone is lucky to come back alive.

*

Shall we take a closer look?

Was this really the effect of greatly increased luck?

First of all, [Evil Eyes Telescope].

Bringing the demon kings loot into the inventory with me was clearly a good thing.

A demon at the level of a demon king.

An elf.

A transcendent.

If it wasnt for the telescope, I wouldnt have known it at all.

Yeah, lets think positively.

I found out about the incident in a timely manner.

It seemed to be because of luck.

However.

My smartphone was vibrating.

There was a disaster text from AAU.

At the same time, the text messages were sent only to the players.

That word was clearly written there.

Dragon.

The dragon was spotted at the top of Zero Mountain.

I recited towards the top of the mountain.

Youre very cautious, not befitting your size.

To translate Grandfels words.

It meant where, and when did they fly without any sign.!?

It was a relief though.

They didnt try to smash the Earth as soon as they woke up.

Moreover, according to information observed by the AAU.

At the top of Zero Mountain.

There was a phenomenon similar to [Cracked Dimension Gap] rupture.

By that point, I was certain.

As expected, can the dragons open a rupture?

It was incomplete, but it was a rupture that led to the Arcana Continent.

That was what I thought

I really felt like I had been hit by a chain letter!

From the demons, elves, a transcendent, and even dragons as the cherry on top.

It was literally an unprecedented mega-event, wasnt it?!

At this rate, a rupture is inevitable.

Whether it would be an emergency update or a regular update.

I could guarantee.

Even if I were to gather not only my current strength but also the strength of all allies participating in the Holy War. Between them, it would be no different from teaching a fish how to swim.

Especially, the dragons and the elves.

The only thing I could deal with was the demon and the transcendent.

But even those two were unusual.

I looked into the telescope again.

The effect of the telescope was to share the vision of the evil eye.

This meant that even if I didnt try to feel it, I could naturally feel the senses of the evil eyes.

That was why I noticed.

Its not an ordinary demon.

Evil eyes were trembling.

This was a reaction I didnt feel even when I saw middle-rank demon kings who were close to 30th in rank.

In addition.

But its different from the demon king.

In appearance, they were closer to a human than a demon.

If it wasnt for the blatant evil aura, you wouldnt think it was a demon.

Last but not least.

He shows no sign of being intimidated even when faced with an elf.

The strength of the elf?

I had emphasized this several times, but I could tell by looking at Elsidore.

Not only Elsidore slaughtered a level 800-900 demon with a single sword, but he also fatally wounded Lakid, a member of the shadow mercenary group. And now there were a hundred of elves.

Then, there was only one possibility.

Great evil.

Youre finally starting to move, great evil.

Seriously!

The great evil was already complicated to think about.

In addition to the great evil, there was a transcendent in the same space as the elves.

How did I recognize the transcendent?

I didnt know exactly who it was, but

It was a face I had encountered at the social gathering of time and space.

He was one of the two people who didnt have much interest in me.

One man and one woman.

As the heir of a great family. In the past, Grandfels presence in social circles was like an oasis or mirage in the desert. Since he didnt enjoy social events, he didnt show up often. The day he unexpectedly appeared, he caught everyones attention

The fact that they werent distracted by Grandfel at the social gathering.

Although it was hard to say it with my own mouth.

It meant that they were not an ordinary person among the transcendents.

Large skeleton.

Bushy hair grown carelessly.

In fact, even if he didnt belong to the ordinary axis just from his appearance alone.

His biggest feature was the fact that both his arms were machine.

Thanks to this, I was able to recognize him as soon as I saw him.

Well, anyway, everyone showed up, that was good and all.

So what is their reason?

The problem was their goal.

Why are you doing this when youve been staying still?!

With Grandfels personality.

He would have been so frustrated that he would manifest a portal and teleport between them!

Oddity. Are you holding me back even in this situation?

See, if there was a way to get to the Arcana continent.

He wouldve run over there without fear.

The Grandfel I knew would have done that.

In that regard, I should be relieved that there was no way to get there

I held on to the kid who wanted to run straight away and thought about it calmly.

First of all, my top priority is to convey the situation.

I should report the truth to the people on the Arcana Continent.

That way, we would be able to set up a contingency plan in some way.

Of course, the situation here wasnt very good either.

Considering the passage of time

Time was the Arcana Continent was four times faster.

If an incident broke out right now.

In a few hours.

It wouldnt be strange if a rupture was created in reality.

I opened my mouth.

Diend.

Please give me an order, my lord.

Convey my thoughts to Chainwalker.

I transmitted the information through telepathy

Soon, Diend disappeared into thin air as ordered.

Then he appeared in front of me again.

My lord.

Indeed, I could feel that the passage of time was different.

In what felt like a split second, he delivered news to Chainwalker and even brought back news from him. By the way Diends next words were shocking.

The dwarves were fully aware of the situation.

Up until then, I just thought it was a relief.

Even if I didnt tell him, Chainwalker knew in advance.

They must be making preparations.

The reason for my astonishment started from here.

Also, the imperial army led by the Emperor immediately left for the battlefield. Their destination is near Zero Mountain, and their purpose is to protect the people of the village. To follow the pride of Master, the savior of Dredsen!

Dont be so moved, Diend.

I am being serious right now.

I felt dizzy like my head was going to explode.

The great evil, the transcendent, the elf, the dragon, and now the Empire?

I was certain now.

This was not a thing of luck.

This was definitely a chain mail.

But I recited calmly.

Is that so?

Indeed.

Even while I was in agony.

Time in the Arcana Continent flowed 4 times faster.

From now on, I would use my best judgment.

It had to be slowed down to 4 times the speed.

So I continued right away.

Then go tell him.

Even in this situation.

Just like how I usually was.

Brazenly.

Theres nothing to worry about because Im here.

Now is the time to make your words come true, Grandfel.
