Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 130



Only Noblemtl

130

The first step to proceeding with the quest is the user meeting Siran.

After winning the Yellow Dragon Tournament and the Blue Dragon Tournament and learning of Shiran’s location from Shonan Asuka, the user learns that there is a ‘madman’ who is trying to destroy the world by meeting him.

Siran herself is trying to catch that ‘madman’, but since opening and closing the already requires a lot of strength, she is unable to move it herself.

The reason Shiran looked for adventurers was because she found out through Aganjo that there was someone skilled enough to find traces of the ‘madman’ inside while she was opening the door, and to track him down and defeat him.

So when the user first meets Siran, he hears an explanation from Siran.

What is the ?

How difficult it is to maintain it.

Also, about the possibility that the [Time Lords] might interfere to prevent those who pass through the .

‘But… … Dark Knight is different. Dark Knight and the creator, and the side story characters have different background settings! Shiran has ‘separate lines’ for the users of that character.’

Those who crossed the and came to Plain: Arad and became adventurers.

When a user with the Dark Knight and Creator professions goes to Siran to do the quest, he brings up a separate conversation.

This means that the part that Jinseong just took out to attack Siran is that part.

“Meh, Mehmet… I heard it from that guy, Mehmet Geumma. Kedo, I didn’t believe it though… ”

Siran stuttered with a blank expression.

Perhaps that kind of appearance is something that Jinseong is rather familiar with.

Although Siran is old and has overwhelming skills, he is always bewildered due to the special nature of the events and situations he experiences in the game Dungeon & Fighter, and that is why he is a friendly NPC.

Jinseong said.

“You can believe it now, right? Oh, and it’s true that I’m GSD’s disciple to some extent. If you ask GSD directly, Siran, he’ll give you the same answer.”

It wasn’t a lie.

As a user who raised a Demon Swordsman character back then, the one who taught the Demon Swordsman character skills at the time was GSD, so the idea of ​​meeting him in the Sky Castle and taking on the role of his disciple was also an idea that came from that memory.

Of course, Siran, who was listening, could not have thought that way.

“……The volunteer grandpa must have been boiled like this too.”

It would be natural to suspect that he would have demonstrated this power and persuaded others.

However, there was no need for Jinseong to add further explanation.

Jinseong just smiled warmly.

Siran sighed and shook her head.

And then he said.

“Oh my gosh… Kai, what do you want? You must have something you want. Why did you want to meet me?”

Being the oldest of the four Weapon Masters can be interpreted as meaning that he is wise and perceptive, and this was proof that Siran had now come to know this.

It doesn’t matter what the true identity is.

The important thing is that he must have realized that he must know why Jinseong, who is also the winner of the Blue Dragon Tournament, asked the king of the country of Suju, Shonan Asuka, to introduce himself to Shiran.

Jinseong took a step closer to Shiran with a satisfied expression and said.

“Hehehe… That’s what I was going to talk about anyway. So… ”

Finally, we can see that we have made contact with someone with the power to open the and point us in the right direction.

As Jinseong spoke to Shiran, the two soon appeared at the entrance of an alley in Shonan, the capital of the Suju Kingdom.

Even though she saw a golden light flashing across Jinseong’s body, Shiran said nothing.

He just kept sighing and moving forward.

* * *

Jinseong was observing Shiran from a distance.

‘What kind of users are coming… … .’

Specifically, it is to check if there are any users who are progressing through the main scenario quest related to .

Since we were aware that Siran’s skills and techniques could not be called harbingers of contamination, we had to find the signal after entering the .

‘In the end, the user’s quest that appears this time is most likely contaminated… … At least my timeline and the appearance of the contamination almost coincide with each other.’

One of the things that Siran had promised was, of course, the right to enter the .

First, the adventurer jumps in, and Jinseong jumps into the and chases him.

Siran hesitated, but she could not help but accept Jinseong’s proposal.

“We all share the same desire to chase down the madman and save Arad. I am Jinseong, a member of the Emergency Response Committee for the Magician’s Guild of the Principality of Bell Myer, where Iris Fortune Singer belongs.”

Not only did he mention the name of ‘Iris Fortune Singer’, the person Shiran trusted and relied on, but he also had an identification badge he received from Sharan, the head of the Magician’s Guild.

If there was one thing that was a bit disappointing for Jinseong, wasn’t that the exact part?

‘The ‘madman’ we’re chasing right now is Iris Fortune Singer. Well, if we just finish this epic quest, Iris will be free from Hilda’s control. When that happens… … At least, it means we’ll be able to confirm one of the things I was most worried about, the relationship between Iris and the .’

If this main scenario quest is completed safely, it will be a big relief for Jinseong.

However, the premise is that ‘the work must be completed safely.’

‘ is quite long. Since it practically tracks down and confirms all the evil deeds Iris Fortunesinger committed in the past… … it won’t be easy to predict how and in what way the contamination will occur.’

It wasn’t easy to travel around the heavens with Vivi, but this time, being with users again was also a burden to Jinseong.

This location, where you can observe the city from afar, is also the result of finding a place that would not be visible through the ‘users’ monitors’.

Jinseong felt his heart pounding and was caught up in a subtle emotion.

It wasn’t just a concern that it would be difficult to address this contamination issue.

‘Well, if it’s really hard, just open the , okay? Just open it! Just open it! Hehe.’

While passing through the with Siran and being dumbfounded, I realized something.

It was an idea that could come to mind, since there were no monsters and no Time Lords were visible.

‘I’m sure. I’ve gotten a little stronger. My ability to manipulate dimension-related powers… … is likely to have improved somewhat compared to before.’

It wasn’t opened by someone else.

Siran didn’t even want to open it.

If so, then it means that it was Jinseong’s own power that opened the at that time.

‘Still, it’s a shame that I can’t open it by myself.’

Up until now, whenever a dimensional/time-related incident has occurred, whether it’s a dimensional rift, a dimensional gap, or a , there has always been someone else’s intervention.

At the time of Direzier, Hilda was initially exerting her power to trap him in a dimensional rift.

When you are sucked into a dimensional rift and try to escape, you can see that the power of Direji has been added.

‘Still, what one of the people I met in Heaven… who got lost in the dimensional tangle said must have some truth to it.’

It was a story told by someone who could control dimensions, even though I didn’t even know their name, and it was also the events that happened when his hands met with Jinseong’s.

What if, including Shiran a little while ago, those who possess powers far greater than the current true self or who have a higher-dimensional understanding of dimensions/time were to come into contact with the true self and manifest such powers?

‘I still only have the ability as a trigger. If I could pull the trigger myself… … If I could also have that much strength and ability.’

When that time comes, wouldn’t it be possible to naturally unleash the potential of one’s own body?

What will become of Jinseong himself when he reaches the end?

‘Literally the most perfect ear tester, he could become a dark knight who opens a dimensional rift… … Keuhehehehe.’

As much as that was predictable, Jinseong would laugh with a sinister yet excited face.

“Hi, it’s finally time to meet you.”

And then, just then, Siran’s voice was heard.

You could tell what occupation the user talking to had just by looking at their back.

A Dragon Knight user from the Knight profession.

‘This time it’s Dragon Knight. It reminds me of something new. It feels like only yesterday that I was playing with Dnakon on the Dungeon & Fighter official website.’

In addition to the concept of being from a different plane, the background setting of being a brave knight of the Dragon Clan is incredibly cool, but the image of this job became even more familiar due to the meme of ‘traitor’.

Plain: Arad’s true nature, not as a character that reminded him of the time he enjoyed playing the game Dungeon & Fighter as a user, was quickly taken aback when Jinseong began to chase after her.

* * *

When you first enter the , the first thing you encounter are, of course, the Time Lords.

As Siran warned the adventurers in the in-game script, the Time Lords test the adventurers who enter the , and this is the first gate.

However, rather than literally blocking it with all their heart, it was closer to the concept of warning the adventurers and measuring their power, so the Dragon Knight user easily subdued one of the Time Lords, ‘Baston of the Past’, and then moved on.

‘… Mehmet.’

And the person you meet is Mehmet.

The last Mehmet, a Time Lord with unique powers among the Time Lords who control each timeline of the past, present, and future.

All he can do is observe.

Mehmet, a Time Lord who has no authority or ability to control anything beyond the intended future, other than observing the end of the plane, looked at the Dragon Knight user and said.

[If you are on the path to saving the world, I will help you for a while. However, you must not tell the other Time Lords about this.]

As expected, Jinseong was a familiar part.

‘So only Mehmet… … takes an adventurer-friendly position.’

We have already observed the destruction of the plain.

Plain: Mehmet knows that the end of Arad is the final return to nothingness.

Yet he knows that he cannot change it on his own.

So Mehmet was chosen.

Turn a blind eye to the adventurers’ efforts to change a future where everything disappears.

[I’ll make a secret passage for you so you can avoid their eyes. But remember, time is limited.]

Or, occasionally, to provide direct assistance.

Jinseong let out a sigh of relief as he heard Mehmet’s words.

The part where you encounter the Time Lord didn’t even show any signs of contamination.

Wasn’t one of the things Jinseong was most worried about was the problem arising with the Time Lords?

‘If a Time Lord becomes corrupted, then that’s… … I really don’t know what to do. I’m probably the one who could be considered corrupted to the Time Lords.’

From Jinseong’s perspective, it is a move to correct something that is going wrong, but from the Time Lords’ perspective, it is not like that.

Plain: The characters moving in the gap between Arad and the game Dungeon & Fighter, including the adventurers who are possessed users and even Jinseong’s own activities, will never be viewed favorably by them.

‘Actually, that’s why… … maybe I can be safe now too.’

Jinseong thought for a moment.

This place is already the and the space of the Time Lords.

Could it be that Mehmet doesn’t know that Jinseong himself has come this far?

This is the true nature of being summoned by Clipa right after dealing with the matter at Mount Sharnak.

Considering that he is also a Time Lord and that Time Lords are all on friendly terms, it is likely that Mehmet has already noticed Jinseong’s existence.

However, the fact that it is still active means that Jinseong himself can move along with the users who are now leaving the …

‘Mehmet might also be on my side… … I guess.’

Originally, the Dark Knight and Creator, spin-off characters of the game Dungeon & Fighter, were said to be acquainted with ‘The Last Memet’.

I wonder if that has something to do with it.

However, Jinseong knew that he did not have the courage or the need to confirm it by talking to Mehmet directly, so he put that aside for now and moved on.

“Okay, let’s see. I think the only time we can go is Gran Floris before the great fire. It’ll be a very peaceful forest, so don’t worry. And if it’s that time, we’ll be able to find a lot of clues. Since the fairies are still alive, we’ll be able to hear a lot of stories from them, right?”

Siran tried hard not to know the truth and spoke to the Dragon Knight user.

The next place to go through the was the Fairy Forest, Gran Floris.
