The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 199: A Message of Victory

The AAU was bombarded out of nowhere.

Y-You want me to believe that now? Again?

A video conference of the branch heads.

It wasnt just the head of the Korea branch, Park Minjae.

The branch heads who heard the news late.

They all gently pressed their temples as if they had coordinated it beforehand.

Their heads were pounding so hard they couldnt take it!

They accepted a message to observe a duel

Then suddenly the view changed.

When they opened their eyes, a magnificent Colosseum appeared?

No, how am I supposed to believe this?

The last person to lament was Park Minjae.

Times like this make me want to be a player even if just for a day. Theres really no reason for our players to lie about this

London Branch Manager, Baker Chat.

He laughed as if intrigued.

Schreig said hed never seen such a splendid Colosseum before. Even back when Arcana was just a game!

The Colosseum was built of jewels and gold

We dont have anything like that, right? Theres no such thing in the Arcana Continent either.

Even if they looked back on their days as a developer and searched through their memories and databases.

There was no Colosseum that matched the players testimonies.

No, in the first place, the way to enter it didnt make any sense.

They didnt enter a rupture or portal.

Thats right! They just closed their eyes and opened them!

The speed of the passing time is also different.

Head of US western branch.

Joshua had a conversation about it with Rox and his group.

They said that the duel had been going on in the Colosseum for at least several minutes, but when they checked the time after returning to reality, it turned out that only several seconds had passed.

How could they disappear as a group?

Damn Arcana!

When you took one step forward, you had to take several steps back.

Park Minjae lowered his head in frustration.

Thanks to this, he missed the gazes of the branch heads directed to his head.

By the way, Branch Manager Park.

Im listening. Im not sleeping, Im thinking.

Isnt there someone who might know the answer?

Yes?

With a quiet voice, Park Minjae raised his head.

The branch heads had gazes full of anticipation.

Those gazes were directed at him.

He could tell.

Dont tell me, are you talking about Yusras General Manager?

A player and the general manager of the Yusra branch.

At the same time.

The only person who could solve the pouring questions.

Lee Hoyeol.

Thats a bit much.

Facing Hoyeol alone.

It was a burdensome task for Park Minjae.

So Park Minjae hastily changed the topic.

Right. Speaking of which, isnt that great? He defeated the Sword Saint, Shegwin, with his sword! Absolutely amazing!

Perhaps it was the effect of borrowing words from young people.

The branch heads nodded one by one.

Shegwin, hes not an NPC designed for players to confront or defeat, is he? Hes an NPC created like a mountain that players cant touch.

Indeed.

In a way, he was like the Mage Tower.

Sword Saint.

He was literally the pinnacle of the sword.

Because he was so strong, he couldnt be designed to affect the Arcana continent.

That was why they put in the single-minded setting that he only knew about the sword.

Considering his age setting He is someone who should have died of natural causes long ago.

I think we need to listen to the players a little more about that. Some points of this are difficult to understand right now.

Shegwin had regained his youth.

That alone was a surprise.

He became an old man again after he lost the duel with Hoyeol.

He was engulfed in a green flame and disappeared with his sword.

It was a disaster; there was more than one eyewitness.

But even if this is known, this is hard to believe, isnt it?

Even if so many players had seen it.

They even wondered if the players had witnessed a mass hallucination.

Wasnt this a very absurd story for human standards?

Especially.

Even if this is General Manager Lee Hoyeol were talking about

Hoyeol defeated the Sword Saint with a sword.

As they had said earlier, Shegwin was not designed for players to defeat.

He had such fraudulent stats and unique skills that players would be shocked if they found out.

Therefore, they talked about that as well.

Well, there must have been a mistake, right?

A mistake?

As you know, Sword Saint is a character designed to be the pinnacle. He was made so that he could not be defeated with a sword. So, as an old man, he was a character who would naturally leave as the Arcana story progressed.

Thats right.

Could it have been a situation where the players were unable to make normal decisions? Cant we tell from the players testimonies? As if the luxurious Colosseum wasnt ridiculous enough, Shegwin, who regained his youth, became an old man again and was engulfed in green flames.

Although he was glad that the topic had changed.

As he listened silently, he felt angry again.

Park Minjae put on a rotten smile.

Joshua, how dare you doubt our general manager?

Every time, he was busy boot-licking peoples boots.

It was disgusting.

Some people had no trace of pride.

Huft

The moment Park Minjaes true nature, which had confronted Raymond Sean, was about to come out.

Urgent news was delivered to each branch head.

?

News of the update to Arcanas official website.

Someone shouted as if screaming.

Its not even Thursday. An emergency update?!

Fortunately, it wasnt the worst-case scenario.

What appeared was not the update details.

Yes, the only thing that appeared on the website was a video.

Arcana official account? This was uploaded by Raymond Sean? Wait, Raymond posted a video? Isnt this the first time something other than update history has been uploaded?!

Calm down. First, lets play it.

Soon, the video was shared in the branch managers chat room.

!!!

Joshua, who was unusually talkative, kept his mouth shut.

What appeared in the played video was the Colosseum.

The image of Hoyeol facing Sword Saint.

And the end of the fancy battle.

Hoyeol, who defeated Sword Saint, was standing upright.

*

Yeah, it inevitably became a hot topic.

It was surprising to me too.

The duel with Shegwin, stuffed on the official website of Arcana.

It was not filmed from the players point of view.

The angle made it look like the camera was in all directions.

And the editing even seemed like it belonged to a blockbuster movie.

There was probably only one person who could do something like this.

Raymond Sean.

The community was in an uproar because it was filmed like an action movie.

In the scene where I traded blows with Shegwin, there was even a slow-motion effect. As if the packaging wasnt enough, it was even covered with layers.

Is this real Hahaha. He looks more like the Sword Saint than the Sword Saint himself

Even if they walked slowly, my eyes couldnt keep up

I knew it from the moment he fought with an umbrella His sword skills

Naturally, I couldnt relax.

That movement didnt come from my swordsmanship.

It was all the ego sword.

[Legend] grade item.

It was all thanks to the ethereal iron.!

This iron mask.

In my face.

There was no way the truth would be revealed.

Even I was surprised to see it.

Even if you knew the truth, my expression was so serious that even you would get tricked.

Indeed, it was fair to say that it was a duel for the position of the Sword Saint.

Clink

I put down the teacup with the bag in it.

But even if I understood it.

There was no way Grandfels temper would find it acceptable.

I opened my mouth.

Raymond Sean, you are not qualified.

At the last minute.

Shegwin radiated a blue sword aura.

Maybe it was because he had regained his pride.

If not that, maybe it was because of the effect of the title [Noble].

It was beyond my knowledge.

But, one thing was certain.

For the right to make his last days a spectacle.

I wasnt rebuking those who cheered for victory.

They didnt know what happened between Shegwin and me. They didnt even know why the flames of hell engulfed Shegwin at the last minute. They didnt even know what the flame of hell was.

But.

You know everything, Raymond Sean.

Even though you know everything, you still do that.

Grandfels pride simply couldnt tolerate it.

I look forward to the day when we can meet.

I didnt know when that day would come.

But I looked forward to it too.

Youre the main culprit of everything, Raymond.

I have something to pay you back.

If it wasnt for him.

I wouldnt have to worry about this shame!

Yeah, the person concerned wouldnt even hear it, so lets stop lamenting.

Besides, I had something to check right away.

Victory in the duel of time and space.

The reward for victory.

Gold coin.

To be exact, one hundred gold coins.

Golden coins

Having pure integrity.

I know full well that you are not obsessed with wealth and fame, Grandfel.

But its not just any gold coin, so just be patient and look at it.

[Gold Coin of Time and Space]

[Grade: Epic]

[Restriction: Transcendent]

[Effect: Can be used as currency in time and space.]

[Description: A gold coin used in the realm of the transcendent, the time and space.]

Golden coin of time and space.

In short, it was money used in [Stagnant Water Community] and Time and Space.

As for its detailed usage, I could only guess.

I had the information from AAU, but I had to experience it firsthand to know how it would be implemented. Just like the duel of time and space.

But I already knew how to use it in the social gathering.

Hmm.

Look at this.

Hes saying I just need it to order tea, so lets just move on.

Just how much do you value tea time?

Of course, the reward for victory wasnt just the gold coins.

A video of the duel had just been uploaded to the official website of Arcana.

The resulting revenue would fall to me. contemporary romance

It was truly fame and wealth, so it was a useless reward for me.

Lets think of it as savings.

If I saved it up, it would be useful in my old years.

Anyway, the formal victory reward ended there.

From here on, it could be said that this was the real reward.

I checked my title.

[Transcendent: Your transcendent state is enough for you to be called a transcendent. Current achievements reached: Circle (1,000% increase in all magic manifestations) / Incomplete Quick Swordsmanship / None / None]

From the achievement, an incomplete swordsmanship appeared.

Yeah.

This time again, it was Grandfels talent.

Just like how I could manifest magic by witnessing it.

I even witnessing Shegwins quick sword skills while fighting him.

In the end, I acquired it.

Although the effect is not specified because it is still incomplete

If I sharpened it.

Wouldnt a proper effect like the circle appear?

This harvest was more meaningful to me than gold coins or money.

This was Sword Saints swordsmanship, not just anyone elses.

I basically had mastered Shegwins swordsmanship.

I recited.

I will follow your sword path.

Thats a very noble way of saying it, Grandfel.

To win a real victory.

And the afterthought is no joke, Grandfel.

Whats a real victory?

The demons.

Naturally, I was referring to the victory of the Holy War.

Shegwin was enticed, but he regained his pride at the last moment. And the most evil thing was the demon that deceived Shegwin by delving into his weakness.

You put pride on pride again

Whats the point of struggling for a long time?

If you can endure it, you will even put on other peoples pride.

But as I said, it was all my karma.

But lets think positively.

Right, what isnt stuffed on the homepage?

A name that looked embarrassing no matter how you put it.

[Name: Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo]

Im glad I kept my personal information private, seriously

.

.

.

Social gathering of time and space.

All he could see was a woman sprawling on the table.

Since when had she been doing that?

The man who entered the social gathering clicked his tongue.

Witch, did you use all the gold coins you earn to spend tobacco?

Why dont you shut up?

Hmph, youre so scary I cant even talk to you.

Warrior of Sunrise.

The man with short black hair sat down.

Jingle

He took out a gold coin and put it down on the table.

Straight away, a cup of water appeared from the air.

Hm.

Purified Water of the Moon cost one gold coin.

As soon as he swallowed it, the fatigue on his body disappeared as if it had been washed away.

The man looked at the social hall.

Witch, I always feel this. No matter how many gold coins you have, isnt spending it on tobacco made of precious elixirs wasteful? Well, Im not bragging about having a lot of gold coins.

The tobacco cost ten gold coins per cigarette.

It was valuable.

Except for the Witch of the Southern Sea who was smoking heavily.

He didnt see any other transcendents.

The man shrugged his shoulders.

Everyone seems to be busy in many ways.

Looking at the situation on the Arcana Continent, it seemed likely.

Currently.

It was time for each transcendent to make their wishes come true.

In that regard, it was unexpected.

For some reason, I dont see the old man.

Shegwin.

Unlike other transcendents.

He was an old man who only sought the sword.

I had something to ask him.

Regardless of whether Shegwin regained his youth or whatever.

It didnt matter to the man.

Anyway, they had no interest in each other other than when discussing the sword.

Suddenly, a parchment came into the mans sight.

Glance

The man glanced at the woman who was covered in tobacco energy.

You havent checked this either. Shall I take a look?

It was always unusual for news to arrive at the social gathering.

She couldnt even answer, she was totally addicted.

The man shook his head and opened the parchment.

The mans face stirred.

Died in the duel of time and space?

Shegwin, the old man?

They had talked a few times before, so he knew.

Shegwin was a swordsman of considerable skill.

In the first place, wasnt he a fellow transcendent like he was?

What kind of guy is it?

The man identified the opponents name.

And he was shocked.

It was a name he had never heard of before.

So there was only one person he could think of.

Is it the newcomer?

Indeed.

The mans name was not revealed during the performance evaluation.

It was written on parchment paper.

The man recited the name.

Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo.

?!

At that moment.

Rattle!

The witch who was sprawled on the seat next to him straightened up.

Even if she didnt do that, her fierce eyes opened even sharper.

She spoke to the man.

Say it again.

Why are you suddenly like this?

That name, say it again.

The name?

Maybe she didnt hear it properly because it was long.

The man murmured once more.

Grandfel Claudie Arpheus Romeo.

Then the witch repeated.

Grandfel Claudie? C-Claudie family.?!?
