Main Character Hides His Strength

“Deal?”

Kim Sung-cheol stopped.

Someone opened his mouth, staring at Kim Sung-cheol's back.

“You know what the rules are before the next grade, right? ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

Next Rank Battle is Blacksmith rules.

This is the final grade of the Summon Palace.

The method is simple.

Thirty warriors are selected per square to battle against thirty warriors selected in other plazas to win in a one-on-one battle.

One peculiar thing is that in the arena, abstentions and drawings are also accepted and there are few penalties.

The penalty for not getting a winner's reward is everything.

The most important life is to abstain.

In this regard, there may be doubt that the colorectal battle is soft compared to other strict pre-grading rules, but it is definitely not so if you know the inner lining.

The true difficulty of the final grade is not in the forge itself, but in the process of harvesting thirty warriors to fight in the forge.

Currently, there are between 600 and 700 survivors in the White Square.

Only thirty of them will have the opportunity to enter the arena, and the rest will be forced to gamble with their lives on the line.

The 30-second predictor of the odds of death game.

Not one Summoner has survived the prediction of 30 consecutive winners since the Summon Palace was built.

For this reason, we must go through hell called Advancement unconditionally to survive.

“… about the upcoming advancement. ”

You break the short silence and someone opens their mouth.

“I think I'm already working with you, but that might be my idea. ”

No one can be trusted in this world.

Although I was served a delicious meal, it was rash to give my full faith.

This is where yesterday's friend could be tomorrow's enemy.

Moreover, if the opponent is a weak opponent, he should be even more careful.

Kim Sung-cheol's first impression of someone was ordinary.

It seemed like someone who didn't have any characteristics.

Your sword was ordinary, and your speed and strength were not great.

However, over time, one could feel more power than could be seen from Kim Sung-cheol.

It was the same before Tom and before the werewolves.

Something seems awkward, but I've always done it the wrong way.

Moreover, he single-handedly defeated the werewolf Park Aram and completed the work of the Lion to erase the traces of the Lion.

It was the latter who raised the guard of any dog.

‘The difficulties left in the Summon Palace by the Seven Heroes are beyond reproach. No one has solved them in thousands of years. He solved it in two hours. ’

It is said that the work of the Seven Heroes can't be solved even with considerable training outside the palace.

The evidence of the Seven Heroes is that they don't want to see the abilities of those who suffer, they want to see the qualities of those who suffer.

If a person who has acquired abilities from the outside believes only in his/her strength and forces the quest to proceed, he/she may lose his/her life due to a trap set by the Seven Heroes.

Especially Zaatos, a sorrowful hero among seven heroes.

One of them solved the lion's ordeal in two hours.

Kim Sung-cheol was good enough to satisfy Sazatos, or Kim Sung-cheol himself liked Sazatos.

‘I don't know how I achieved my greatness, but I'm definitely not a normal person. So don't turn your back on the enemy. ’

Some think that and then take out the best card they have in their hand.

“It's unlikely, but if I'm in danger of advancement, please help me. If I'm selected safely as a member of the forge, I'll tell you where the other seven heroes left me besides the lions. ”

Lee Jae came to mind in Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

“Traces of another seven heroes? Does that mean that there are seven heroes' quests around here other than Sazatos? ”

I'm guessing a blur.

However, Kim Sung-cheol stared at something with a look of not knowing anything.

Someone nodded and continued with the explanation.

“… before the final battle, the seven heroes gathered in the Summon Palace and made a trail of their respective visions. In case they fail, to leave their offspring with their luggage. ”

When Sung-cheol heard that, the bear thought.

An offer that has nothing to lose.

It's not easy to have no intention of fighting anyone, and it's not easy to have a certain amount of people at risk in the propaganda.

If you do nothing, you will be satisfied.

Besides, this is an opportunity.

Get familiar with their faces through the footsteps of the Seven Heroes.

It's much easier to find and kill an opponent than it is to know his face.

Kim Sung-cheol cleared his mind and raised his head.

“Well...”

It was time to say yes.

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly felt that a cool adversary was approaching from nearby.

“Someone's coming. ”

It's not magic.

It is a human initiative.

Kim Sung-cheol hurriedly hid himself under a bush in the forest.

No one later felt popular and hid next to Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol was surprised at the moment when someone erased his posture.

This woman...

I erased myself so much that I couldn't feel my presence even when I was right next to her.

It seemed more natural than training.

Soon, a group of people appeared from beyond the forest.

An ugly man in a robe made of dog hide, wrapped in prosthetics and prosthetics, appears with a blaze of flames.

The number is seven.

Beneath them, the crippled homuncles are strapped to a collar and carried by the feet of slave hunters.

Kim Sung-cheol at a glance found out who they were.

‘Slave hunters.’

It's strange.

It is common for slave hunters to set foot in the square to secure slavery in the first week of a mass summoning, but not in the square after that.

Unless you have a special request from a very particular client.

“This way! Master! These shoe prints are headed for the cliff! ”

A one-armed homuncluse looks up at the floor and shouts out loud.

The slave hunters nod, facing each other, and walk toward the direction Homunklaus leads.

After they disappeared, Kim Sung-cheol and someone else unmasked and revealed themselves.

“What was it? ”

“I don't know.”

Kim Sung-cheol walked to the spot where the slave hunters had just been, knelt down and looked at the floor.

The footprints were smudged, but he had a clear memory of the footprints that Homunklaus pointed to.

“ ……. ”

A familiar shoe print.

Kim Sung-cheol stared under someone's feet.

‘I see.'

As expected, the shoe prints Homunklaus pointed out were consistent with something.

I don't know why, but someone is being targeted.

‘I guess they found out he was a regretter. ’

In this dangerous age, regretters are not welcome, and the world is not greedy enough that they can just return with future knowledge.

Kim Sung-cheol knows how regrets are treated by power in this world.

A piece of meat that tells you the uncertain future.

No more or less.

Most regrets, despite their high ideals, are caught early and tortured to death in torture chambers, sharing information about the future.

No one is more likely to face such a fate.

“... You'd better watch your back. They're after you. ”

That's the best advice Kim Sung-cheol can give.

When it came to hunting regrets, Kim Sung-cheol had no intention of helping anyone.

If you order the hunt for regrets, it means the background is never good enough.

“I wonder why they're after me. I don't mean to say it with my mouth, but she's not that pretty... but don't worry. because I'm confident that I can take care of myself. ”

It was no big deal.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head and headed to the square first.

“From here on out. I'll go to the square first. ”

“Hey, did I mention...? ”

Someone called out to Sung-cheol Kim who was leaving.

Kim Sung-cheol replied without stopping.

“The offer just said yes. I'll help you advance. I want you to keep your promise. ”

Leaving that behind, Kim Sung-cheol left the forest in a quick step.

A small guest awaits him at the entrance of the square.

As soon as the guest entered the entrance of the square, he snuck down from the sky and sat down under Kim Sung-cheol's shoulder.

“Tsk, tsk!"

It was a Krill Rigall sky squirrel.

Kim Sung-cheol spread a note inside a small pouch on the squirrel's neck and checked the contents.

[I'll be waiting at the corner of the outer wall. My little friend will show you the way.]

*

The reunion with Krill Rigall changed the mood.

If Krill Rigall had a childish and naive new wizard's bristles, Krill Rigall's reunion beneath the walls smells of a fairly old wizard.

“It's been a long time, Sung-cheol Kim. ”

The audacity created by training surrounds the body of the young wizard, rather than the relaxation that comes from the mind.

“... What do you want from me? ”

Kim Sung-cheol's attitude was cold.

Krill Rigall smiles faintly.

“That's the thing. I'm having a bit of a problem. Yes, I needed more money. More than usual. There's a lot of pressure going on up there, but this is another day or two. Nowadays, he just gets all worked up and pecks at me. ”

Kim Sung-cheol was aiming for Krill Rigall with his careless eyes.

As Kim Sung-cheol sat down to say nothing, Krill Rigall scratched her back head to see if she felt any insecurity.

“Just one more favor. This will be the last time. ”

“Last?”

“Yes. If he asks for more, I'll make it his last. I promise you my name! ”

Krill Rigall clapped her left chest with a firm fist.

“What's the value of your name? ”

Kim Sung-cheol's reaction was cold.

Krill Rigel's lips twitch.

"Son of a..."

It was for a short time, but Kim Sung-cheol couldn't miss it.

‘You've got a big head after all. ’

After a little silence, Kim Sung-cheol took out 3 gems from his arms.

“This is the last time. ”

Krill Rigall was flogged with two hands.

“Ouch! 3 of these are precious! Thank you!”

Krill Rigall gave a bracelet to Kim Sung-cheol with a single smile.

“Actually, I'm here to deliver this. It's too heavy for my little friend to carry. ”

An old bracelet made of copper.

Seeing that it was quite heavy, as Krill said, it would have been difficult to carry it as a celestial squirrel.

“What's this? ”

Kim Sung-cheol grabbed the bracelet and asked.

“Looks like a pass guarantees safe passage to the Summoning Palace. ”

“Be specific. ”

“Yes. Yes. Let me explain again. Wearing that bracelet will allow you to see the miracle of victory, from the advancement to the forge! ”

An ordinary looking bracelet.

Seeing that you don't have any emotions, you look like a normal object that doesn't have any magical effects.

Krill Rigall holds three jewels in her arms and snaps her fingers and calls her pet up on Kim Sung-cheol's shoulders.

“Wear that bracelet to the propaganda and you'll know it's worth it. But don't be alarmed, it can happen, so embrace the facts. There's nothing good about being seen! ”

Krill Rigall bows, wrapped around Rob's hood and disappears into the darkness.

Kim Sung-cheol, who was left alone, touched the bracelet without saying a word and looked at the bracelet with his eyes.

A bracelet that looks ordinary.

But Kim Sung-cheol's unique ability. Soulmate - When the eyes of truth were activated, the information hidden inside the bracelet was revealed in front of Kim Sung-cheol.

Anonymous Bracelet

Rank: Rare - Intermediate

Classification: Accessories

Effect: Intermediate Tool Hidden, Anonymous

Anonymous: Park Aram

Note: The user's full name can be disguised as desired. However, stats cannot be disguised.

I made two jokes.

One is a hidden tool on the bracelet.

Equipment with the tool hidden can't see the item information just by holding or looking at it, unlike other items.

Anonymize the other one.

The person wearing the bracelet is recognized by the name of the person listed in the anonymous field of the bracelet.

What I want to do with these two jokes is to make Kim Sung-cheol recognized as Park Aram.

Kim Sung-cheol disappeared.

It is a very childish and petty technique.

Perhaps there is some vile and dirty number behind it.

Nevertheless, Kim Sung-cheol wore a bracelet without hesitation.

“... A good wizard is just a dead wizard. ”

Krill Rigall may not have dreamed it, but the man he's trying to trick is the man who killed the most wizards in the world.
