The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 258: Leave it to me

Newly opened system, [Legend].

The effect was to materialize the acquired legend.

Materialization didnt mean that I would transform into a real dark dragon.

Even if Grandfels way of speaking frequently omitted the subject.

I was looking straight at the subject.

Yeah.

I was not the one who materialized as a dark dragon.

It was a legend that originated from me.

Perhaps because it was a legend that I made into reality through my will.

I didnt have to turn around and check.

It felt certain.

Actually, even if it didnt.

Argentress pupils reflected me like a mirror.

Dawns jacket gently fluttered.

A huge black figure writhed behind it.

It was my materialized legend, the Dark Dragon.

Thats why I couldnt express it in words.

Even if I explain it a hundred times, will you be able to understand?

It would be faster to show it.

But when I actually materialized the legend, I was shocked.

Even though it was the Dark Dragon, it was too big!

What?

Id be honest with you.

I was not happy when I saw the message that I had acquired the legend of Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol. Putting my shame aside, it was a legend. I had doubts about whether I could use it properly.

I thought it would only look good on the surface.

As I always said, my specialty was knowing my place.

Furthermore, while fighting to the death with Prosnax in Hidden Piece [Ice Dragons Snowy Mountain] No, while disciplining him, I clearly realized the difference in weight class between dragons and humans.

Maybe even if [Natural Enemy Relationship] had been activated, I would have still lost.

Even though I wasnt in perfect condition, I wasnt able to do much damage to Prosnax even when I attacked with Eunaxus. To put it bluntly, if it werent for Senios strategy book

I probably would have crossed the afterlife in just a few moves.

Its not just in terms of combat.

Even if you looked at it from a different perspective, the situation was not much different.

Unlike dragons who could come and go between the Arcana Continent and reality.

I had to put so much mana into manifesting the portal to the point of exhaustion.

Even that wouldnt have been possible if I hadnt copied the structure of the connector.

Therefore, I gave up my expectations early.

I only looked good on the outside.

Even if I made the Dark Dragon legend into reality.

I thought it would only look more plausible on the outside.

However.

This is a little different from what I expected.

First of all, lets point out one thing.

It was not wrong to say that it was plausible on the outside.

As I said, the materialized Dark Dragon was huge.

More than Eunaxus, of course, even compared to Prosnax.

No, even when compared to all dragons.

They were all smaller than the Darl Dragon that had just materialized behind me.

So, Argentress, who called Eunaxus a lizard, must have been surprised.

Of course.

The gaze would be as high as its huge size.

Indeed, it was the Dark Dragon that looked down on everything.

Really

The legend Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol truly lived up to its name.

Ive never seen a lizard like that before!!

Well, he couldnt afford to play tricks anymore.

His obedience up until now had become insignificant.

Argentress spoke with blatant hostility.

It wasnt difficult to answer him, but I didnt want to.

Saying it with my own mouth

My legend.

Dark Dragon.

Saying it proudly would be a bit too much!

So I borrowed Grandfels style of speaking.

I said calmly.

Are you watching?

!

Its exactly as you see.

As if responding to my words.

The materialized Dark Dragon moved.

It flapped its unusually large wings once.

That action alone created enormous wind pressure.

That surprised me.

Let me say it again, I didnt become the Dark Dragon.

The legend that originated from me became the Dark Dragon.

Although I had control over that Dark Dragon.

I couldnt pay attention to its every move.

To put it simply

Its like having one more faithful alter ego.

Unlike Haiel, Diend, and the ethereal iron.

As long as it was materialized.

Recognized by everyone.

Inexcusable to anyone.

It was a giant alter ego.

I will confirm one last time.

Despite my shame, I showed it kindly like this.

Argentress, you understand, right?

You have no choice but to take responsibility for what you say.

I believe this has restored your relationship.

Was it because the words came out of his own mouth?

Or was it because he was surprised by the Dark Dragon?

Argentress did not refute and he shut his mouth in anger.

Is the forced reconciliation between dragons and elves successful?

Somehow, Argentress expression reminded me of my childhood.

It was like when I fought with my nemesis.

Back then, we also used to force hugs and reconciliation.

Thanks to that, I understand his feelings.

It couldnt be helped.

To put it bluntly, it was an emotional rift that had lasted for thousands of years.

I wasnt confident I could slowly repair that deep rift.

In other words, this was my best effort.

And wouldnt all of this become memories later?

Like how I remembered the fight with my nemesis.

I dont know about Argentress, but Eunaxus will be pleased.

In that regard.

From now on, all I had to worry about was the Dark Dragon behind my back.

First, lets check the remaining amount of mana.

Was it because it was a newly opened unique system?

First of all, it doesnt consume mana.

Since it had been materialized.

I needed to find the limits of the effect.

Above all, I had to find out the reason why it didnt just look good on the outside.

It was as good as a real dragon.

No, it was better than the real dragon.

This meant I needed to know whether the Dark Dragon had appeared.

Actually, I had some guesses.

The legend is not proportional to my strength.

It was said that the more widely it spread, the stronger the legend became

Lets look at it from that perspective.

From where and how far did the legend Dark Dragon Hoyeol spread.

When I thought about it that way, it slowly started to make sense.

The dragons mouth started it

It was not just an ordinary dragon either.

The Earth Dragon who had lived as long as Eunaxus.

It started with Kudhanaxs Dragon Fear,

Thanks to that loud voice.

In front of all dragons, my other name, Dark Dragon, became known.

It spread to the dwarves through Haiel.

To the Emperor through the dwarves.

It must have spread throughout the Empire and the Arcana Continent through the Emperor.

That alone was already terrible but it didnt there.

A completely different world.

The world of adventurers and my hometown.

Even in the reality, there were endless stories about the Dark Dragon.

If you thought about it, wouldnt it be worse there than in the Arcana Continent?

Reality was safe compared to the Arcana Continent which had been wrecked by demons. And not only that, in reality, wasnt there science that could transmit any news to the world in an instant?

For example, like breaking news or social media! Thanks to this, there were at least hundreds of millions or billions of stories about the Dark Dragon floating around.

So, at the point when the [Legend] system was opened.

It wasnt strange that the Dark Dragon became strong without limit in real-time.

Lastly.

It was a legend that was talked about in two completely different worlds.

Yes, the legend of Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol.

It had become a legend as [odd] as its name !

Perfectly makes sense.

To sum it up in one line.

The Dark Dragon was the materialization of all the overestimations and rumors surrounding me. Naturally, even if you compared it to a real dragon, it wouldnt lose out at all. I realized it all over again.

I really opened up something incredible.

The [Legend] system was no joke.

Of course, as much as the effect was great.

It couldnt have a long duration.

[Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol becomes a legend and disperses.]

The duration just ran out.

Really, I could live with just this mouth.

I expressed my admiration in Grandfels style of speaking.

A legend becomes a legend only when it travels the world.

Would it kill you to refrain from bragging at least for a day, Grandfel?

Anyway, with this, I was certain.

[Legend] was an ability with endless development potential.

I cant be satisfied with just opening one thing.

Right now, I only had Dark Dragon Lee Hoyeol.

Who knows, I might acquire another legend in the future, right?

In short, it was an ability that had a lot of use.

Lets see.

I was done figuring out the new abilities

After organizing my thoughts, I looked at Argentress.

Then shall we depart for our destination, Sisley?

*

Sisley.

Goo

Argentress appeared from the portal.

After that, Hoyeol took a step forward.

Clearly, it was just as planned.

He brought the cheeky human to Sisley.

But Argentress was neither happy nor relieved.

All he could do was suppress his rising emotions.

The reason was simple.

I could put up with it.

Claudie.

And Mothers blessing.

He could put up with two humiliations.

But why a lizard?

But the third humiliation.

He didnt expect a dragon to appear behind him.

Argentress still didnt understand.

The dragon was not an illusion created by magic.

But that didnt mean it was a real dragon.

If you asked him how he could be so certain.

Ive never seen such a black and huge lizard.

In particular, the excessively large wings left such a strong impression that if you saw them even if just once, you would never forget them. But one thing held out.

The gaze that looked down on all things was clearly similar to that of a dragon.

Grit

The gaze that made him suffer from inferiority.

Argentress glanced at Hoyeol.

From right after the news of Claudies return until now.

What had happened between the man and the lizards?

Furthermore.

While it was happening

What on earth were he and his kins had been doing?

As he was about to burst out.

The reaction of his kins drove him even crazier.

Its foolish to feel relieved.

Weak.

All of them were weak.

How could they feel relieved in this situation?

His kins were satisfied with just returning to Sisley.

Even though Mothers blessing was right in front of them, they didnt notice it.

They relied on him for everything.

Chew

Argentress bit his lips.

Is this also my mistake?

Did staying in the perfect Sisley poison his kins instead? The moment Argentress could hardly calm his turmoil.

Hoyeol opened his mouth.

Its as expected.

Argentress replied to himself.

If it were you, you would recognize it.

How perfect Sisley was.

Sisley was so perfect that it couldnt be compared to the insignificant Arcana Continent. It was the land chosen by Mother, the World Tree. No matter how high his expectations were, Sisley could surpass them

Its exactly what I expected.

Huff!

!

Argentress mind spoke.

At this moment, even if he showed his hostility.

As long as Mothers blessing existed.

He and his kins couldnt go against the man.

It is an unnecessary action that can increase his vigilance.

But Argentress heart shouted.

Even though he could tolerate the insults directed at him.

This was the Sisley that they chose and where Mother put down her roots.

He couldnt tolerate the insults against Sisley.

In the end, Argentress couldnt stand it anymore.

Dont insult Sisley with that insolent tongue.

Even if they had failed Mothers expectations.

Mother took root in Sisley.

That fact didnt change.

You dont know anything about Sisley.

The moment Argentress glared fiercely at Hoyeol.

Hoyeols gaze.

Moved from Sisleys landscape to Argentress.

Soon, calm words continued.

The person who doesnt know anything is not me.

What?

Cant you hear it?

Hear what?

The demons sneer.

!

Sneer?

More importantly, a demon was in Sisley?

He couldnt understand what Hoyeol was talking about.

Sisley was an unknown hidden land.

The only ones who knew of its existence were his own kind and the lizards.

How could an inferior demon step into Sisley?

The moment he looked at Hoyeol with that thought.

Hoyeol continued.

Youre mistaken.

What do you mean?

Sisley is not your land.

Those words were very shocking.

It is the demons land from the beginning.

.

.

.

[Youve entered Hidden Peace, Sisley.]

At the same time, a message appeared.

[Skill, Natural Enemy Relationship is activated]

The presence of the demon touched my whole body.

Because I was a demon hunter.

I could be sure.

Sisleys demon was no ordinary guy.

The message that appeared was proof of that.

[Class Quest: Fruit of Good and Evil]

On the brink of extinction, the World Tree bore fruit to sow seeds. However, contrary to the will of the World Tree, good and evil didnt coexist, but the fruit was borne separately. The last demon hunter. Only you can find the sinner who separates good and evil.

Train your weak body. (Repeat)

Enter Sisley, the land of the elves. (In Progress)

Encounter the primordial evil that took root in Sisley. (In Progress)

Yeah.

The Fruit of Good and Evil was not the beginning.

The World Tree was tainted by evil from the very beginning.

The primordial evil. Even the name is flashy.

But it didnt matter.

If the roots were wrong.

I just had to correct the roots first.

Who am I?

Indeed.

The last demon hunter.

Owners of knowledge of all plants in the Arcana Continent, including World Tree.

Lastly, the owner of [Hidden Peace, Garden of Dignity].

I was an expert in this complicated situation.
