Three demon castles were revealed through regular updates.
Concerns arose over the shocking update.
But those concerns were for naught.
Hey, Sookyum. What am I looking at right now?
After Lee Hoyeol took action.
It was all over in just ten minutes.
Head of AAUs Korean branch.
The old man. No, it was a question from the boss that was like their sky.
Yoon Sookyum didnt have the presence of mind to answer.
Pinch
First of all, seeing that his pinched cheek hurt, it wasnt a dream.
Now that he realized it was real.
Then next.
Im trying my best to understand as well, Branch Manager.
He had to acknowledge what happened.
But he couldnt believe it easily.
Yoon Sookyum managed to continue.
Lets concede and assume that the Mage Towers firepower was much stronger than we predicted. Not only the senior mages of the Mage Tower moved, but even the Shadow Mercenary Corps joined in.
Were they alone?
The Paladins of the Goddess Church.
Knight of Lionheart of the Empire.
It was the Demon Kings Castle rupture where forces that made ones heart sink just by hearing its name entered.
So he tried desperately to understand. Sung Hyunjoon, who was listening, also held his head.
Yes. As sunbae said. I also understand the Demon Kings Castle of Ryhme and the Demon Kings Castle of Indulgence. But I dont understand what happened to the last Demon Kings Castle of Hunting!
Demon Kings Castle of Rhyme, about ten thousand.
Demon Kings Castle of Indulgence, about a hundred.
But the people who entered the last Demon Kings Castle of Hunting.
There were only three of them.
Its driving me crazy, really.
AAU staff, all of whom were once developers of Arcana.
They could tell just by looking at the update details.
Comparing the difficulty level of the attack.
The Demon Kings Castle was trickier compared to the other two Demon Kings Castles.
They could tell as much as they knew.
So they couldnt help but feel surprised.
Wipe
Park Minjae let out a helpless laugh and wiped away his cold sweat.
How good are you, Lee Hoyeol?
It wasnt just about strength or level.
Soon, a caption appeared on the monitor.
The demon kings were oppressed!
As the media said, this was not just a victory, but the demons crushing defeat.
It was like trampling on the demons completely. Before they could even stir up their dirty monsters.
How could that be possible?
This is not possible by strength alone.
Branch Manager is right.
More than anything, the rate increase of the collapse progress was no joke
As if he had known the existence of the demon king beforehand.
No, to be exact, demon kings.
Yeah, it was as if he had known there would be three Demon Kings Castle ruptures.
This event could happen because as soon as a regular update appeared, he took action without the slightest hesitation.
And by leading those Arcana All-Stars, too.
Even thinking about it again, it was an astounding performance.
All of a sudden, Park Minjae was horrified.
Dont tell me, its not a dream, is it?
He had been overdoing it lately
To the point that he got reality and dreams mixed up.
He wasnt naive.
It was such an unbelievable incident.
Park Minjae tried to copy Yoon Sookyum and pinch his cheek, but gave up.
No, this is it.
Inside the monitor.
The appearance of Hoyeol was caught by Nettubers.
The same appearance as usual.
It was telling him that this was not a dream but a reality.
I wont take any questions.
Even his feisty attitude.
How can a person do that?
If it were me, I would have felt pressure on my shoulders. I would have shown off.
Does a hero just get called a hero? Do you think hes called Homen for no reason?

Oppressing the demon kings.Diiscover new 𝒔tories at n𝒐ve/lbin(.)c/o𝒎
A warning and declaration of war against the demons.
The place where the effects of the victory first appeared was on the Arcana continent. Flying boat, Iron Castle. The leader of the dwarves, Chainwalker, looked down on the ground.
Its truly incredible.
The last demon hunter.
And the fact that he was an adventurer.
Also, not only he had recognized the existence of the demon kings in a world completely different from the Arcana Continent.
He even planned to hunt them. And even he executed the plan perfectly!
The moment that appeared in front of us. I never thought we would be dealing with two demon kings at the same time. Actually, we who were on the same Arcana continent didnt even notice
Naturally, it was thanks to Hoyeols arrangement, Haiel, that he learned of that fact.
Chainwalker bit his lips.
If only they hadnt got caught up in the bad weather
I could have seen him face to face.
But he was glad.
According to the spirit, Haiel, if they could match the time and place, they could reunite.
Of course, Chainwalker could not easily stop admiring.
I never thought he could understand this natural disaster to that extent.
Dwarves regarded ruptures as an insurmountable natural disaster.
Because even with their brilliant minds, they couldnt guess the cause.
But they never thought there would be someone who could predict the ruptures emergence to some extent. Furthermore, they never thought that person would be the survivor of Akshan, the last demon hunter.
Haiel, spirit.
Chainwalker politely called out Haiels name.
His eyes, filled with emotion, turned to the ground.
Chainwalker continued quietly.
On our behalf, please report this situation to the survivor of Akshan without exception. Thanks to his activities, the momentum of the Arcana continent has completely changed.
In response to the earnest request, Haiel took in the scenery on the ground.
In just overnight.
No, even that was an overestimation.
In the reality, it was about 10 minutes.
Even in Arcana Continent time, it was only a few tens of minutes.
Compared to its scale, it was over in an instant.
In an instant, the demon kings castles disappeared without a trace.
One of the three demon kings, Flauros, was wiped out of existence.
He was thrown into hell, from which he couldnt descend by any means.
The shocking incident was a total horror for the demons.
For those who resisted the demons, it gave them courage.
Chainwalker continued.
Can you see it?
The Empires defeated soldiers ultimately protected the village.
Akshans decisive weapon has recaptured the great city, Saxon.
Lake Pironity has regained its original shine
Continuous reports of victory.
An incredible butterfly effect.
However, this was also one of the reasons why Hoyeol oppressed the Demon King.
Haiel just answered calmly.
He was even looking ahead to this.
Of course, the dwarves who didnt even know the situation.
W-What?! Is that true?
They couldnt help but feel shocked again.
.
.
.
Ruptures connected the Arcana continent to reality.
As long as ruptures existed.
Changes in the Arcana continent inevitably affected reality.
Naturally, players were the first to notice the changes from the Arcana continent.
Guys, am I the only one who feels this?
Player community site.
The bulletin board was filled with posts with similar nuances.
No, hasnt it been quiet lately???
- I also go around in the rupture and never run into them;;;
No, It was easier because I didnt have to worry about buffs
I never thought the disappearance of the demons would feel so great
Race that caused sickening status abnormalities.
There were no demon-type monsters in sight.
There was only one reason they could think of.
Its because of the oppression of the demon kings
Lee Hoyeol!
He oppressed the demon kings, the kings of demons.
It was definitely thanks to him literally trampling on the three demon kings.
Considering the period when the appearance of demon-type monsters subsided, the speculation became even more credible.
It was just an overwhelming clear of the impregnable ruptures, its amazing, Im curious about that level. Its not a matter that could end with such questions.
Is there a reason why you say that?
Cant you tell just by looking at it now? This is the ripple effect caused by Player Lee Hoyeol clearing the Demon Kings Castle rupture. Above all, the demons that were a nuisance have disappeared!
This allowed players to enter ruptures more actively.
Thanks to that, the level of the players rose up. Humanity was able to build up the power to resist rupture erosion
All kinds of programs were full of stories about the effects.
Beep
Beep beep
Beep beep beep
No matter where you turned the channel, up or down.
At the loud sound of the remote control, Nam Taemin finally opened his mouth.
Hey, do you have to break it?
Youre noisy.
Why are you upset? I thought I knew you, but I dont.
I am really upset.
Although he said that.
Leonie was right to be upset.
The emergence of Demon Kings Castle ruptures.
Hoyeol and his forces that moved at the same time.
They werent included in that force.
It was only natural.
Wipe.
Hisagi said while polishing the spear that looked like his alter ego.
Inazuma, Berserker, Gaon. Even if our three guilds were united. Entering the Demon Kings Castle ruptures, which had recommended level 800, would have been a suicide.
Right, right.
Nam Taemin nodded his head.
They calmly looked back at their track record.
Thanks to Hoyeol-ssi, we were able to focus only on growth, but it is true that we are still lacking.
An alliance of three guilds.
The effect of their synergy was truly great.
But, of course.
But, why are you talking in that order?
?
Inazuma, Berserker, Gaooon? Why are we the last?
It didnt mean anything. It was out of habit.
What? Habit?! You think its all fine as long as you speak quietly.
As you could see, they couldnt work perfectly together.
Nevertheless, it became easier for them to attack the ruptures than before, and the amount of experience gained had increased.
Thats why I was very motivated
Leonie bit her lips.
Due to the Demon Kings Castle ruptures, she realized it once again.
The gap between them and Hoyeol.
But she wasnt discouraged.
Thats right.
The goal was to stand with Hoyeol.
It wasnt about catching up to Hoyeol.
These people had a clear goal.
Demon Kings Castle ruptures.
There were people who stood with Hoyeol there.
So she had to at least rise to the same level as them.
Did she have the right to feel heartbroken?
Good. Its fine.
In that case, what they had to do was simple.
Attacking the ruptures.
Knowing that fact.
Leonie couldnt help but feel shocked.
Is there a reason why he oppressed the demon kings and silenced the demons?
They wouldnt be held back by demon-type monsters.
It was to make them grow faster?
No way
Of course, Leonie was quite dull
Nam Taemin and Hisagi, those two had uselessly good ears.
What are you talking about? Tell me in detail.
.
.
.
A separate building somewhere.
There was no need for lights.
Because everyone knew each others faces, or rather, each others identities.
Its been a while since weve gathered like this.
Why has everyone become more vicious?
Well, isnt it thanks to the world being a better place to live?
The only thing that shone in the dark was the black eyes.
They were looking at the monitor.
What was being played repeatedly was the clear scene of the Demon Kings Castle rupture.
Someone opened their mouth.
I think these are truly outdated ideas and actions.
Uh-huh! Watch your words. Our demon kings might hear you.
Well, if they can hear it. Ill tell them to listen.
Crackle.
There was a moment of dreary laughter.
The words continued again.
They dont know too much about this world, do they? On the Arcana continent, such a classic method might have worked, but here it is out of the question.
Its like going out and putting yourself through a hard time.
I am not sure our demon kings can even handle demons. They really dont know how to deal with humans. Is it because its been a while since they smelled the worlds air?
Possession.
Thanks to living in human disguise, they came to know it naturally.
What humans in this world were afraid of.
It was not such a primal fear.
They have to use their head. What are they doing ignorantly?
Well, its still good news for us.
Thats right. I dont have to worry about getting hit one way or another by demon kings.
You could tell just by looking at them disparaging the demon kings.
There was no real unity or loyalty among demons.
It had been a while since they gathered here.
How would the demons stab each other in the back?
They were seriously thinking.
Since they know each other well.
They refrained from meeting.
There was a reason why such demons gathered here today.
So, why dont you all stay calm for a while?
The emergence of a being that united even such demons.
Indeed.
It was because of Hoyeol.
Even if theyre old-fashioned, theyre still demon kings. Theres no doubt about their great strength. But those demon kings were crushed in just 10 minutes. By the forces Lee Hoyeol lead.
We certainly need to be vigilant.
No. There is no need to do that.
?
We just have to stay where we normally are.
Lee Hoyeol?
Mage Tower?
Shadow Mercenary Corps?
No matter how strong they were.
That only became a problem when faced with an enemy.
We just have to use the mask were wearing like we do now.
Because those people wouldnt be able to recognize the demons possessing humans.
In other words, they didnt have to take action themselves.
As long as they didnt raise any unnecessary doubts, this movement was actually beneficial to them.
What Im saying is, lets quietly hide and gain strength.
Silence.
There was no objection.
But for a moment, everyones eyes turned to one place.
Youre staring too much. I understand enough.
Black eyes glistened in the dark.
Well, is it because youre worried that I might say Im a supernova?
A supernova.
Players who would do anything to become stronger. It was a vessel perfectly suited to the demons.
That was the reason Desquee, a demon of true name, possessed this man.
Desquee waved his hand in the dark.
Youre crazy. I have wit, too.
This was Lee Hoyeol, who took the lives of three demon kings.
It would be suicidal to target him.
But he couldnt help being curious.
How strong is he?
Desquee smacked his tongue.
Well, Ill just quietly watch. Just watch from afar. Thats okay, right?

The appearance of demons had diminished.
It might be a temporary effect of oppressing the demon kings, but
I seriously hoped.
A low-ranking demon, true demon, or whatever.
I hoped they showed up in front of me just three more times.
The reason was simple.
Demon King, Amdusias.
Demon King, Kimaris.
Demon King, Flauros.
The loot, the demons items acquired after the three demon kings were defeated.
I was very curious about the effectiveness of those three [epic] grade items.
Moreover, I meant it as someone who enjoyed the effect of the demon kings loot, [Pentagram of Pure Knowledge]!
Afternoon tea is like gold.
Its not an apple you eat in the morning[1]Theres a saying in Korea, An apple eaten in the morning is gold, but an apple eaten in the evening is poison. Homen was just mixing up words to sound cool. , what are you saying.
Of course, there were always these cheesy comments, too.
I calmly titled my teacup as usual.
With a calm gaze, I checked the information of the demon kings loot.
1. Theres a saying in Korea, An apple eaten in the morning is gold, but an apple eaten in the evening is poison. Homen was just mixing up words to sound cool.
