Then, lets work hard.
Harkon returned to the conference room after talking with Yesica and Enoch.
A lot of ti had passed, but Kitch was still there.
The Emperors sword.
The eyes of Knight Commander of Lion Heart shone coldly.
If it were in the past.
He wouldnt have cast his doubts easily.
The notoriety of the Shadow rcenary Corps was widespread in the Imperial Palace.
The cris they committed under the pretext of receiving requests had long been heinous.
But Harkon knew.
Everything has changed.
Cataclysm.
Now that he had fallen from the Arcana Continent to the world of adventurers.
It would be stupid of him to be bound by the past.
Besides, hadnt he learned from Sir Hoyeol?
Humans, not demons, can change.
Even Harkon himself was like that.
He never thought hed be talking to and even training adventurers who didnt even have basic swordsmanship skills, let alone fa. He never would imagined it in the past.
So, Harkons eyes changed.
I didnt expect you to be waiting for first, Leader Kitch.
Hey, I have nothing else to do but drink, so I have to co quickly.
Ive heard the news. Hows Lakids condition?
Hes fine now. He still has a nasty temper.
Well, hes not a man who can be defeated that easily.
It was an ordinary conversation.
He planned to put aside his doubts.
Nevertheless, Kitchs change didnt make sense.
Eventually, Harkon asked bluntly.
Youve changed, Leader Kitch.
Yes, Ive changed?
The Shadow rcenary Corps is participating in the Holy War. I didnt expect you, the leader, to even attend the eting. There must have been so kind of trigger.
Trigger, you say.
Kitch faltered.
Tch. This is why I dont want to get involved with high-ranking nobles of the Empire.
The reputation of the Shadow rcenary Corps was even greater among high-ranking people.
It couldnt be helped. The Shadow rcenary Corps commission fee exceeded the common sense of not only the common people but also most nobles.
In the first place, their custor base was only filled with high-ranking people.
Of all people, Knight Commander just had to appear first..!
Why did she show up early?
Of course, it was to get a score.
She had to look good in front of their Commander-in-chief Lee Hoyeol.
The information obtained from that bastard, Elsidore.
She could at least eavesdrop on it.
However.
Everyone, I live such a painful life.
Look at those lion-like eyes.
If she answered it wrong.
Her snobbish intention would be discovered.
For now, Kitch made it vague.
Its all thanks to Commander Lee Hoyeol, right? Haha.
There was one thing she realized while living in the Yusra Kingdom.
Lee Hoyeols na solved anything.
It was just like how you could avoid most suspicion by pretending to be a Goddess believer in the Arcana continent
Well, I can understand why.
Arcanains couldnt easily adapt to the world of adventurers.
Hoyeol had been the one who normalized the Yusra Kingdom, Frost, and Muon, where they could settle down without difficulty. Indeed, the value of that na didnt betray Kitch this ti either.
Lee Hoyeol.
The mont the three syllables ca out.
Harkons face brightened.
I see! Youve also co to realize your pride!
Y-Yes?!
No, but why was the topic suddenly turning to pride?!
Is that not the reason?
Harkons face cooled down.
In the end, Kitch had no choice but to raise the corner of her mouth.
She didnt know what her pride was, but.
No, thats right! Pride, hahaha! Hiccup
For now, lets say she had realized it.
Her pride.
For Shadow rcenary Corps.
For their comfortable retirent.
.
.
.
Great Alliance.
Nam Taemins mouth curved into a smile.
Now I finally feel it.
Hoyeol-ssi summoned them, summoned him!
It was as if they were now in the sa boat since the mont they jumped into the Holy War.
Attending the eting would be a new experience.
Hisagi, who walked next to him, ruined his excitent.
Are you excited, Nam Taemin?
What is it this ti? Why are you trying to start a fight?
I couldnt sleep a wink because of my anxiety.
Hisagi made a pitiful expression.
The snake eyes accentuated the pitiful look even more, so he didnt even want to look at it.
Nam Taemin made a face, but Hisagi was slick.
I stayed up all night wondering if we were qualified to attend a eting like this. From the Knights of the Lionheart to the mages of the Mage Tower. Compared to them, we are still far from good enough.
Hey, if you say that, what does that make ?
What else. Being faithful to your emotions is typical of a barbarian.
One thick figure.
One slender figure.
The sight of the two n bickering was enough to draw attention.
Sigh, its embarrassing.
Leonie sighed and walked a few steps away from those two.
But even if she kept her distance.
Regardless of who turned their heads first, the two n turned to her.
What do you think?
What do you think, Leonie-ssi?
Just shut up, both of you.
She couldnt even figure out why they fought every day.
To Leonie, they both were the sa.
Anyway, the fight would end only when they ca to a conclusion.
They would attract less attention that way, right?
That way, she would be less embarrassed.
In the end, Leonie gritted her teeth and opened her mouth.
What caused the argunt in the first place?
He doesnt like it when Im happy, this snake eyes.
I guess I cant reason with wild nature.
Are you being sarcastic again?
Stop.
Arguing was not a root cause, bastards!
Now, listen up.
Sk
The two people didnt just lower their heads, they even bent down their waists.
Were they now criticizing her short height?
For a mont, she felt upset, but she held it in.
If we look back, the reason is because of the call-up and the eting, right?
Yes.
Thats right. The sensibilities of modern people and barbarians that co from there
Anyway, she didnt listen to a single word.
Before Nam Taemin got angry.
Leonie quickly added.
At the end of the day, you both feel the sa way.
Huh? ? With this thing?
Isnt it because you both want to be helpful?
!!
Whether they were proud or worried.
In the end, their heart headed to the sa place.
That was why the Great Alliance was able to move forward until now.
But why were they always fighting?
You look like you just realized this. Im really angry.
Captain Harkon, look at this.
Harkon had to do sothing with their head first before getting to the physical training.
Perhaps her answer was satisfactory.
Nam Taemin straightened his back and raised his head.
I got it.
too.
For a mont, their gaze t.
Their mouth opened at the sa ti.
Its called pride.
Its a matter of pride.
?!
No, really?
Why were they suddenly turning the steering wheel and hitting it with pride?!
Leonie was dumbfounded.
All right, its a truce today.
I agree, Nam Taemin.
Madn.
Lee Hoyeol-ssi, look at this.
You made them like this.
Sprint.
Leonie headed to the Golden Palace, leaving the two n behind.
She felt like she would get infected by that pride, so she would get this over with as quickly as possible.
.
.
.
However, Leonie was shocked when she entered the conference room.
Although a berserker probably had no right to say this
She was certain.
Theyre the only ones crazy.
This was madness.
It wasnt just Nam Taemin and Hisagi.
She heard an unusual conversation.
I didnt expect the League of Explorers to join the war.
There is plenty of room for our explorers to play a part in the Holy War. Of course, as the president of the league, I was also surprised. I am an explorer, but its hard for a group of explorers to unite I never thought most explorers of the league would join .
Its the pride of an explorer!
It was all over the place.
Who was having the sa type of conversation as those fanatics?
It was not a player or a ranker, but Harkon, the leader of the Knights of Lionheart, and Fabian, the leader of the League of Explorers.
This ti, another conversation penetrated her left eardrum.
I heard that you gave away a holy relic of the church. Senior Belliere has asked to express her gratitude. Of course, I am also greatly indebted to you.
No. That holy relic is no longer ours. No matter how you use it, you dont have to thank the church. I realized the pride that is more valuable than holy relics.
Indeed, I agree with what you said.
The largest religion on the Arcana Continent, the Goddess Church.
The person who led tens of thousands of Paladins of the Goddess Church, Talim.
The chief of the Mage Tower who didnt even need a modifier, Marcelo.
As expected, the people over there were amazing.
By that point, Leonie was seriously worried.
Wait, am I wrong at this point?
Could it be that she was the only one who didnt realize it?
She wanted to ask cooly.
What the hell is pride!?
But she rembered the rumors floating around among players.
Asking the aning of pride is a prideless act.
Shift
Eventually, Leonie closed her mouth and only turned her eyes.
While doing so, she made eye contact with Kitch, who was sitting across from her.
Just as pride recognized pride, Leonie and Kitch recognized each other.
!!
You dont know what pride is, do you?
Of course, the joy did not last long.
At the appointed ti.
The sound of shoes echoed.
Tap tap
Hoyeol appeared in the conference room.
.
.
.
Thank you all for being punctual.
Well, even if the rest of them did a good job coming here properly.
I was especially grateful to Kitch.
Probably because I didnt expect it.
Otherwise, it would be terrible.
She lacked pride.
She had no formality and no manners.
I almost started the eting by criticizing her.
Thanks to her, I didnt waste ti.
As soon as I sat down, I brought up the subject.
The reason I summoned you today is simple.
I had said it many tis, but it was better to see it in person than to explain it.
I put the [Evil Eyes Telescope] on the conference room round table.
I continued, activating the effect.
The Battle for the Demon King has begun.
!!!
Soon, a panoramic view of the Arcana Continent floated in the air.
Everyone must have beco familiar with the sight of the devastated continent by now.
However, this was on a different level than before.
There was a tectonic shift. The Arcana Continent was split apart.
Marcelo said in a firm voice.
Thats not magic.
If its not magic, then?
It must be the work of the demons.
Green flas rose from the cracks.
Wait a minute.
Fabian muttered and opened his mouth with an expression of confusion.
The light looks like the Torch of Hell? No way?
Yeah. The impossible is now possible, Fabian.
Yes. It is the flas of hell.
Torch of Hell, you said. Fabian, what are you talking about?
It cant be. First, Ill show you.
Fabian then took out his [Torch of Hell].
It was a torch burning with green fire like the one rising on the Arcana continent.
I wasnt surprised because I had seen it in the [Thefern Labyrinth], but that was probably not the case for other people.
In the past, this Torch of Hell was left by a league explorer who reportedly witnessed the gate of hell. I havent confird it myself, but I heard it has the effect of burning the demons.
Kitch asked while twisting her hair with her fingers.
I am sorry for saying this. The Demon World and Hell are different, right?
Thats a good question, Kitch.
The Demon World and Hell were quite different.
The Demon World was the ho of demons, but hell, to quote Grandfel, was a space where demons were imprisoned.
To be precise, it was an afterlife where demons hunted by demon hunters fell.
Well, judging by the rampaging demons on the Arcana Continent, it seems the passage to the Demon World has been open for a long ti Is there any reason for the demons to open the Gate of Hell?
Hell, the place the demons feared the most.
Why were they opening the gate to that place?
I didnt even know how the Battle for the Demon Kings progressed.
It was only natural everyone couldnt guess it.
It was the sa for .
But then my vision started flashing.
[Class quest: Gate of Hell]
Now that I knew everything.
I was able to remain as upright as always.
In front of people who were shaken by unexpected situations.
I could talk as calmly as usual.
There is no need to doubt or worry.
?
Because I am here.
!!!
I was not a cult leader leading so fanatic cult.
This ti it was not just a bluff.
I really had a plan that could work because of my existence.
