Muons situation was broadcasted live.
It was AAU who paid more attention to the news than anyone else.
There was no need to distinguish between branches.
Everyone was aware of the uncertainty of this situation.
Can we just leave the players alone?
What do you mean?
The variable called Freiza is too big.
An unidentified being, Freiza.
At this point, it was her, the Saintess, who moved Muon. If she had kept the gate of Muon closed tightly, they wouldnt have been so worried
Dont you listen to what our players are saying?
Well, thats true too
Of course, I can completely understand your worries. But lets see. Above all, Muons attitude changed right after the Mage Tower, Marcelo, moved.
They stared at the monitor and there was silence
In the end, we have no choice but to lean on Lee Hoyeol again this time.
It was Lee Hoyeol who moved the tower.
And this time again, Lee Hoyeol didnt disappoint.
He appeared on Muon.
In the same outfit as always.
But his move was more unconventional than usual.
To the point that those who watched were startled.
Wait a minute. Whats going on?
Lee Hoyeol, a paladin kneeled in front of him!
AAU was more surprised than anyone else.
They didnt know who Freiza was, but they knew about the setting of the paladins better than anyone else.
The paladin kneels down To a player?
How high is his accumulated fame?
No, thats not possible with fame alone.
Yeah, it wasnt just about fame.
Not only a paladin, the person who kneeled was the leader of the paladins.
It meant that Lee Hoyeol had a considerable influence on the Goddess Church.
Did he do a quest for the Goddess Church?
Was it ever implemented in the first place?
How far do you know, Lee Hoyeol?
But the astonishment didnt end there.
Crash!
A loud noise.
Muons fortress suddenly fell.
At the same time, a mass of tentacles appeared.
A-A monster on Muon? What is that?
Monster that didnt exist in the database.
Freiza, who also didnt exist.
An inconceivable sigh erupted in AAU.
Was that the true identity of Freiza!!?
Since they couldnt figure out the identity of the monster.
They couldnt guess whether she was strong or weak.
But one thing was clear: she wasnt an ordinary person.
Otherwise, she wouldnt have been able to survive pretending to be a saintess in Muon.
Hurry up! Contact the players!
An unknown being.
They couldnt even imagine the danger.
Everyone should refrain from rash behavior.
However, due to the unexpected situation, they had forgotten about it for a moment.
Even this, too?
Hoyeols presence.
It seemed he had also guessed the existence of the mass of tentacles.
There was no disruption in his posture.
His expression and gaze were also the same as always.
And there was a paladin next to Lee Hoyeol.
Clang
In the name of the Goddess. Pull out your sword, Paladins of Muon!
It wasnt just one person.
The paladins drew their swords at the great mass of tentacles.
Tens of thousands of them.
AAU had no choice but to acknowledge that sight.
Head of AAUs South Korean Branch, Park Minjae.
He opened his mouth at the gathering of all branch members.
I dont know who AAU is at this rate.
Damn, who was the anti-Arcana?
Arcana eroding the reality.
Wasnt Lee Ho-yeol the only one responding to that? What was even more surprising was that even though he was accomplishing such an incredible feat, Lee Hoyeol didnt express it at all.
Hyunjoon, do you think you could do that?
Yoon Sookyum asked Sung Hyunjoon.
Even if he knew there was a mass of tentacles in Muon. If Muon was the inside of that monsters mouth.
Lee Hoyeol jumped into the monsters mouth.
This is not a game, this is reality. A life-threatening reality.
No matter how high his level was.
He wouldnt be able to do that.
Sung Hyunjoon shook his head.
But Lee Hoyeol was doing it.
No, hed already done it several times.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o/m Only
Without even showing condescension.
There was only one word that could describe Lee Hoyeol.
Is it his loftiness that makes even the paladins follow him?
Tens of thousands of paladins moved under Lee Hoyeols hand gestures.
An outsider to the paladins of the Goddess Church.
He couldnt believe they were following a players orders.
According to the settings of Arcana.
It was something that could never have happened, but
Hes a truly unbelievable player, Lee Hoyeol!
Yes, this was also a reality.
*
It was a reality.
[Current status: Waiting for command]
Tens of thousands of paladin stood behind me.
I wasnt a master of a giant guild like Nam Taemin or Hisagi. I wasnt even in the [sovereign] class, when had I ever led such a large army? It was definitely a situation where anyone would have felt pressured.
Talim Ever. I accept your will.
But shamelessly.
I took over the command of the Paladins of Muon.
Wielding tens of thousands of troops?
Even if I had Grandfels setting.
There was a limit.
In other words, even during the stormy and turbulent times when I thought I was special, I never thought about wielding tens of thousands of soldiers.
Moreover, it was a time when I thought that doing whatever one pleased was cool
Its my domain from now on.
In the end, it was up to me.
I had no choice but to face it my way.
Yes, Lee Hoyeols way.
I was used to it now.
Bringing out everything that I had and didnt have.
Thump!
Muons fortress collapsed under its tentacles.
Since it was also a mineral, the object of exploration was familiar.
Enough that I could skip exploration and interference, and manifest it immediately.
Clatter
Crack!
Dumdum!
Muons fortress, which had collapsed, was rebuilt.
It looked as if scattered puzzles were put together on their own.
Even the determined paladins were speechless at that sight.
What is this?
The building is being rebuilt?!
M-My Goddess.
Well, from what I could see, it was spectacular.
Surely that magic was amazing?
If you didnt know, it might look like a miracle from the Goddess.
But the reality was really simple.
Reversal Magic.
The target just had become widespread.
The cost-effectiveness of reversal magic was quite excellent.
In addition, [Natural Enemy Relationship] was activated.
Since minerals were an extremely familiar exploration subject.
I used very little mana even after restoring the destroyed Muon to its original form.
This level of aesthetic value is rare. It needs to be preserved.
The reason was really simple.
Manifestation only in accordance with aesthetic perspective.
But there would be no problem.
Talim spoke to me in an exalted voice.
Thank you. For protecting Muon.
My true feelings were never revealed.
And it was enough.
Even to scratch the nature of the tentacles.
Insolent, very insolent. How dare you have time to look around while dealing with this Neprifit? You are so arrogant. But at the same time, its familiar. Because of those guys that didnt know their place.
Those guys.
She was probably referring to Akshans demon hunters.
I felt it once again.
Demons were definitely good at talking.
So what was the end of it? Lets see. Your disgrace in the Holy War is still in my memory. It was stupid. How could you completely believe the words of a person youve never met before and jump into danger?
Did this mean she didnt take over Muon for no reason?
The paladins were reacting to her words.
Swoop
Talim cut off the tentacles that stretched out and looked at me.
The Holy War? No way, you?
Are you a demon hunter?
His eyes seemed to be asking that.
Yeah, Im a demon hunter.
And the last demon hunter, too.
I wanted to say something cool, but.
I couldnt break Grandfels stubbornness.
This is not something to say to an insignificant prey.
The iron rule.
Do not exchange unnecessary words with prey.
Goo
Instead of answering, I raised my magic.
The mass of tentacles that had been completely ignored writhed strangely.
The [exorcism] had started.
Because she was invited to my consciousness.
She could hear my voice in the midst of this commotion.
Soon, I heard loud laughter.
You are especially arrogant among those guys. Therefore, it is unforgivable. What do you dare to think of me, Neprifit?
What I think of you?
I think of you as a saintess impersonator.
Of course, dont be disappointed that I think that way.
To Gradfel, a demon like you is not worth thinking about.
The weak demon hiding in the shadow of the great evil no longer exists. I am me! I, Neprifit, am a being that a clumsy demon cannot dare to touch! My power rivals that of a high-ranking demon lord!
Swoosh
At the same time, tentacles rose.
Hundreds.
No, thousands of tentacles came out and stretched out towards the paladins.
It was an attack pattern as broad as its size.
It seemed inevitable that someone would be harmed.
But with me, it would be a different story.
Rumble!
What I had.
What I didnt have.
I decided to be pathetic.
Rumble!
I lifted the ground.
To be exact, what I lifted was the surface of Muon made of rock.
Although the strength was considerable, it wasnt lacking from an aesthetic point of view.
It was a weapon that I felt satisfied wielding.
Pooow!
Its shape was like a discus.
In order to cut off the stretching tentacles
I modified the surface of Muon that floated in the air.
Telekinesis mana efficiency was not very high.
But this wasnt just telekinesis.
Because I definitely added more concepts.
Different from magic telekinesis.
A whole new concept.
[Skill], Simultaneous Fire.
Yeah, it was called [oddity].
Swoosh!
Dozens of dicus cut through the tentacles.
Its power was Magic or [Skill]
Either one couldnt respond alone.
What did it mean?
Flop
Her tentacles fell to the floor.
[Cut occurs to the Demon of True Name, Neprifit.]
!!!
Both paladins.
And Neprifit, they stopped moving for a moment.
Tap tap
The only thing that moved was my step.
I opened my mouth.
Youre mistaken.
The iron rule was to not exchange words with prey.
However, I had a tiring personality that couldnt ignore incorrect words.
So this wasnt a conversation.
It was a one-sided declaration.
With just something like that, I cant believe youre claiming to be as strong as a high-ranking demon king.
I couldnt just listen.
The resurrection of the high-ranking demon king.
To stop it, Mage Tower and I had worked tirelessly.
In the process, there was a collision with Karimjeva.
The Elder Mage, Senios, was killed in action.
This was the resurrection of a high-ranking demon king that the Mage Tower made such a sacrifice to stop.
So I recited coldly.
Dont make light of that sacrifice.
The Demon of True Name, Neprifit.
She was as strong as I expected.
You could tell by looking at the [Exorcism] that she was surrounded by tens of thousands of paladins and was still fine. In the message, it was clearly stated that she was a demon of true name, a named monster.
Demon monsters grew just like the players.
Just like the succubus who possessed Baek Yiseol. She must have become stronger than ever before, living as the saintess and Freiza.
But I knew.
High-ranking demon kings were those who had reached the state like Karimjeva.
They were unparalleled.
But she was on par with a high-ranking demon king?
She must have lost touch with reality because she had been stuck in Muon
There was a word that suited her perfectly.
Foolish demon in the well.
I shot back and unleashed my magic.
How dare you!
If I didnt give her time to answer, it wouldnt be a conversation.
The magic that I manifested was simple.
If she called herself a high-ranking demon king because calling herself the saintess wasnt enough.
Just try to endure from this point.
[Absolute Zero].
Senios future prospect magic.
If I were to be honest, it wasnt the state, but an imitation of the state.
Even so, it was [oddity].
A fake thing is enough for a fake.
Goo!
Eventually, as I received the [warmth] buff.
A cooling chill enveloped Neprifit.
!!!
The writhing tentacles froze.
[Freezing occurs to the Demon of True Name, Neprifit.]
[Stiffness occurs to the Demon of True Name, Neprifit.]
What do you think? This is the cold reality outside the well.
.
.
.
Its ridiculous!
The frozen Neprifit couldnt admit it.
How many had she deceived?
How vast were the negative emotions she had absorbed?
Hadnt she become stronger through that?
How can I?
But what was that demon hunter?
From the moment he invited her to his consciousness.
Even when she revealed her true self.
She couldnt feel any emotion from him.
Thats ridiculous. How can a human!!
She was struck with a sense of discomfort.
In order to elicit negative emotions from the man.
She talked about his colleagues, but it was still the same.
How can you stay so calm?
Even if she mentioned the Holy War and the terrible end of the demon hunters. There wasnt even the slightest hint of agitation from him. From start to finish, his gaze was looking down on her.
Hes arrogant.
That was why it was fun.
Because pushing him from a high place was more fun.
But she couldnt bring him down.
Just a human being.
He had completely overwhelmed this Neprifit.
He wasnt arrogant
At that moment, Neprifit remembered.
A distant past.
The voice of the great evil that took her away.
Ill leave Akshans annihilation to you.
Do I deserve such a great honor?
Do it on your own. Everything is troublesome for me.
Sloth of Seven Deadly Sins.
She thought she was a stupid old-fashioned demon.
Demons natural enemy.
She didnt like the fact that the great evil was afraid of humans.
But the moment Akshan was destroyed as planned.
Neprifit thanked her.
Youre pathetic. I cant believe youre giving me this position!
Thanks to her, she became stronger than any other demon. The ability to become stronger day by day. As she watched, her confidence soared.
-I may be able to beat the demon king and become a great evil.
Sloth.
She would become a truly great evil greater than that foolish woman.
Neprifit truly thought so.
Until she met a natural enemy.
Move! I have to move!
It was cold.
Her huge body didnt budge.
It was an unbearable chill.
It was so cold that even the passage of time froze.
Everyone, stop. Im the saintess. Im Freiza!
Among them, she saw the paladins approaching her.
Weak humans who had been dancing on the palm of her hands.
They began to cut out her body.
And in that scene.
There was a man watching with a consistent gaze.
For the first time in her life, Neprifit felt fear.
Am I, Neprifit, going to die in vain?
It finally began to make sense.
Why the great evils, the demon kings, were so afraid of Akshan. Though she might have driven Akshan to extinction, even going through the trouble of wearing a mask.
In the end, Neprifit had no choice but to beg.
Great evil. My master, Sloth! Please save me!
But no answer returned.
The reason was too simple.
Wasnt she the source of laziness?
She didnt come to see Neprifit even when she had rebelled again and again.
And it was her laziness that made Neprifit not disposed of.
Naturally, she didnt think of saving her either.
Daaaamn iiit!!
.
.

[Your level has gone up.]
[Your level has gone up.]
[Your level has gone up.]
The mass of tentacles disappeared.
Lets put off checking the dizzying messages for a while.
The hunt was over, I needed to make that clear.
I asked Talim, who was approaching me.
I will ask the Goddess Church about the Holy War.
Anyway, this guys habit of speaking.
Even if we said the same thing, he said it very arrogantly.
However, there was no reason I couldnt get an answer just because I was being impolite.
Didnt I check the message just now?
[Your relationship with Holy Land, Muon, has increased significantly.]
[Your influence in the Holy Land, Muon, has increased significantly.]
[Your friendship with the Goddess Church has reached the maximum.]
Besides, I was qualified for it.
There was no need to explain what the qualifications were.
The leader of the Paladin of the Goddess Church.
Kneel
In front of me.
He officially kneeled down and lowered his head.
I will take full responsibility. Even if its the judgment.
Wait, I didnt mean that kind of judgment.
There was no time to correct the misunderstanding.
So many people were watching.
J-Just now! T-The Goddess Church will take responsibility?
What are they responsible for?
Judgment? Lee Hoyeol will judge the Goddess Church?!
First, lets move places a bit.
This isnt the right place to have a conversation.
Ah, let me guide you.
If possible, Id like a place where I can have some tea and chat.
?
After the battle.
Replenishing mana was the most important procedure for me
