Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 185

It seemed as if the chili shrimp had lost their true form for a moment.

When I finally found the truth that I had lost sight of, it was already close enough to be considered right in front of the chili shrimp.

And then there’s the dark energy exploding in that situation.

The Tartans’ minions seemed to think that one combo linked with was enough, as the five Tartans caught in the explosion were scattered into six pieces.

The falling debris filled his vision, but the chili shrimp didn’t even blink.

This means that it was not enough to disturb the concentration of the chili shrimp who was analyzing Jinseong’s actions.

‘The skill itself isn’t that special. Among the people who have been awesome so far, there have been quite a few who have been able to do this well.’

Since the two of us started moving together, I’ve seen Jinseong’s fighting patterns a few times.

Because the dungeons were different from the ones you cleared as a user, you had to deal with nameless Tartans that appeared here and there.

Still, the chili shrimp were not satisfied.

‘What on earth is that guy?’

It is not a concept of distrust.

The question does not arise from a lack of trust in the truth.

‘How did you accomplish such a… miraculous thing?’

She has already seen what Jinseong has accomplished.

From the future story he told at his home, to the way he dealt with Casillas’s clone, to Bentinck’s reaction that he had never seen before, to Mateca’s surprise attack and incomprehensible conversation, and even to the way he blew away Anton’s breath, a natural disaster, to another space and time.

I know Jinseong is special.

I believe in his power.

That’s why I was curious about the chili shrimp.

‘It’s a fact that I already knew that even among possessed people, there were differences in level to some extent… … .’

There were many possessed people who did not realize that the whip they were holding was a weapon taken from the skill .

Most people didn’t even try to know about it, and didn’t even understand it.

But the truth was different.

‘I had guessed this too. Not only that… …you understood what I said perfectly – and applied it even further.’

I never thought they would use my skill as material.

He will forcefully summon the Eclipse, which is the same as his job title, and extract the Dark Knight’s weapon from it and form it into a form.

‘It would be impossible without a perfect understanding of DnF. I didn’t even know what the name of the Dark Knight’s weapon was, so if it were me… … .’

When Anton turned around towards the Noble Sky, what if only Chili Shrimp had been there?

He would have jumped straight into a gunship.

‘Well, I guess I was just going to play and eat at Eaton in the first place.’

In the first place, if I had killed Apostle Anton and had not even thought of moving forward, then that situation might not have even occurred.

It is highly likely that this was the case.

‘All my life… … you know.’

It is highly likely that he simply settled down here for the rest of his life, literally until he grew old and died.

Because she neither believed nor had the confidence that she was a true adventurer and would act as the .

Jinseong shook off the remains of the Tartan clan attached to his body.

“Whew, it’s true that there are only trash mobs. Are you sure what you said was right?”

“I have several years of experience, how could I be wrong?”

Chili Shrimp shrugged his shoulders as he looked at him with a light attitude and smile, as if he hadn’t even done any warm-up exercises.

The route that Jinseong and Chili Shrimp took was completely different from Anton Raid in the game.

You can go around and meet Mateka, but this path means that there are no named monsters in the game that Jinseong himself knows.

“Hehe, Vivi-ssi is going to have a hard time. It won’t be easy to deal with the Black Volcano named enemies. Even with the Graphite Cress and Magtonium Five, I wonder if she’ll be able to handle Abyss Medel all by herself. With the NPCs, I wonder if she’ll be able to clear the board.”

In other words, it also meant that the direction Vivi was heading towards was swarming with named monsters.

Seeing Jinseong secretly worried, Chili Shrimp made a face of surprise.

“You worry so much. Even though Vivi may seem like a fool, you know that she’s the kind of person who does it when she has to.”

“Oh? I can think that way, but it’s a bit strange that Mr. Chili Shrimp thinks that way.”

“What’s so strange about it? I’ve seen so many people that I can only pretend to see it. And what, if Vivi takes some time… wouldn’t we be able to have a closer conversation? Don’t you think so, Jinseong?”

The chili shrimp winked one eye at Jinseong.

Jinseong’s expression, which had been pleased and proud that Vivi was recognized, immediately changed.

Then he brought up the story he had been holding back.

“But, the wink above is a bit… No, I’ve felt it before, but there’s that strangely cute gesture, you know? No matter how much I think about it, I’m a bit, how should I put it, I feel like you’ll be hurt, so I’m careful about telling you-.”

A man estimated to be over 40 years old.

Even if I were possessed by the body of a female wizard.

Isn’t that too much?

Jinseong was considerate in his own way.

I was worried that the chili shrimp would get hurt, so I tried to cover it up.

But it was unfortunate that this was the beginning of a misunderstanding and the cause of hurt for the chili shrimp.

“What, what! It’s noisy! I can do that too!”

In a reality where the company was so focused on running that it was called a women’s business.

I was possessed by a body that was less than half of my original age.

Wouldn’t it be possible to show off your beauty while reminiscing about your old self?

However, she also did not want to reveal her original age, so she was unable to properly reveal her original gender… … .

It is inevitable that we will continue to misunderstand each other’s identity and intentions.

When Jinseong averts his gaze with an embarrassed expression.

“Oh, I don’t know! Okay! It’s better to talk about important things, right? Even if we have a lot of time, it’s not infinite.”

The chili shrimp said.

Jinseong’s eyes also turned towards the chili shrimp.

Their serious eyes met each other.

“Then I will ask first. Would you please summon Lord Kashiyas?”

“Huh? I like Chief Ka.”

The right to ask a preemptive question that Jinseong received in return for revealing the fact that even possessed people can whisper to each other.

At Jinseong’s request, Chili Shrimp called out to Casillas without saying anything.

The whip scratched the floor, drawing a magic circle, and what appeared terrifyingly was Cassias’s clone.

“Hahaha, I see. The time has finally come.”

Cassillas, who appeared while scratching his stomach, tried to grab his sword as soon as he saw Jinseong.

Jinseong had to wave his hand right away.

“I didn’t call you here to spar! Lord Cassias, I have something to ask you!”

“What? To me?”

Is it inevitable that I will be the first to take action?

However, since he was an apostle with such a straightforward and blunt personality, he was able to tell the truth.

“Have you seen, heard, or felt anyone with great power recently? Especially in the Demon World?”

Do you know about ?

By narrowing down the clues without directly mentioning them.

* * *

How can we find clues about the ?

The first candidate that Jinseong suspected was Hilda.

He is considered the most special apostle among the apostles.

One who can deceive everyone with tricks and schemes.

A scientist from the planet Terra who created an artificial god by dealing with the dark side of Caloso.

The first elemental master.

‘But… … I was able to confirm it sufficiently through my conversation with Iris. At least Hilda is not the .’

In addition, Cosmo Find has also experienced that it is not the .

It was only for a moment that I encountered Gaunis, the King of Cosmo Finds and the Space Pactmaker, but he clearly told me.

‘Cosmo Find said to get help if it’s hard to erase your own existence. In the first place, there’s no way he’d do something like . He’s just a kid who cries out that being strong is justice while destroying everything.’

1. Not just one of the apostles.

2. It is not even Hilda, who can be said to be the most special among the apostles.

3. It’s not even Cosmo Find.

Much of this has been revealed through inference, testimony, and experience, but there are many other issues to consider.

– Must have the power of an Apostle or higher.

-Nemer must have the ability to either not immediately reveal its identity or have the power to worry about the distortion that would occur if he intervened without permission.

-If you plan to prevent or break the blade from being forged, you should have a fairly good understanding of [Plain: Arad].

‘In the end, the possibility that there are extra-universe beings who are still intervening in the celestial realm… is low.’

It could be possible.

But it will be low.

Well then? Who else could there be?

At that point, Jinseong was in great confusion.

Since there was literally not a single clue, Jinseong had pinned his hopes on the game of truth with the chili shrimp.

A place that Jinseong himself has not yet reached, the Demon World.

“You’re asking Chief Ka that? Who, what, would show up lately?”

If it’s Casillas.

If it’s Kashiyas who has signed a contract to summon a clone with a summoner above a certain level in the game Dungeon & Fighter, then it’s him.

If that purpose is to be a being obsessed with only one thing: finding ‘a strong person that he has yet to discover’.

“… … Interesting. Of course I knew that. I just found one that’s starting to get a little interesting.”

Because Casillas would know all the information about that place, especially about the ‘strong man’ who appeared there.

As soon as he heard Casillas’ answer, Jinseong’s heart began to pound.

“Who are you? Where are you from? And what kind of powers do you have?”

“Hahahahaha!”

Casillas laughed heartily as he looked at Jinseong who was asking questions in a hurry.

Jinseong turned his head away from urging Casillas and spoke to the chili shrimp.

“Hey, don’t laugh – Ah, Mr. Chili Shrimp, you should tell Mr. Casillas first. What are we doing right now?”

Also, before you set conditions such as sparring without saying anything, you should make it clear.

The summoner, Cassillas, must listen to the words of the summoner who made the contract.

“Hmm, I guess it’s not even necessary.”

However, the chili shrimp, after hearing Jinseong’s words, showed a lukewarm attitude.

The corners of Jinseong’s eyes twitched.

“Yes? We definitely kept our promise-.”

[Keep kek kek… … I guess we don’t need to go that far, Jinseong.]

“-……Huh?”

As Jinseong was about to say something to Chili Shrimp, the voice of Heukgu came into his head.

The slightly upturned corners of the mouth of the chili shrimp.

The laughter of the black goblin.

And Casillas with a meaningful look in his eyes.

“……Huh?”

I finally realized the truth about who Casillas was talking about.

The Fourth Apostle, one with enough power to attract the interest of those who soak steel with blood.

Because that was Jinseong himself.

Casillas laughed heartily.

“Hahahaha, you’re slow! Minus points! I feel like the excitement I was finally building up has suddenly dropped, seriously!”

How can I describe Jinseong’s feelings right now?

Even though I was so happy that my neck and shoulders were stiff, I couldn’t help but sigh.

“Thank you so much for your words. But that’s not what I really want! Not me! I’m asking if you know of someone who is, I guess, Hilda… or maybe even more than Hilda! Maybe she has shown herself in the Demon World!”

Jinseong spoke to Casillas again.

The appearance of Hilda or a being with power greater than Hilda, and the location is the Demon Realm where Kashiyas’s body is!

The chili shrimp blurted out a word without realizing it.

“Cain?”

This statement also meant that even users who did not know much about the story of the game Dungeon & Fighter, or even users who had been possessed for several years, would definitely recognize the existence of Cain and Hilder.

“Cain?”

But the chili shrimp didn’t know that either.

Who was the first person to make Casillas ‘accept defeat’?

Of course, Jinseong, who knew that, had no choice but to hurriedly say something to Kashias, whose forehead was furrowed.

“Oh, no! I’m not talking about Cain! I’m not talking about Cain, Mr. Cassias! It’s probably someone whose identity has not been revealed.”

Casillas’ eyes, which had suddenly stopped smiling, looked back and forth between the two people.

The pressure was so great that even Jinseong, as well as Chili Shrimp, who realized that he had made a mistake, had to tense up at the sight of Casillas’ reddened eyes.

Why is he upset?

It wasn’t just because of the name Cain.

The reason why Cassias, the 4th Apostle who wanted to search the entire planet Arad in search of the strong, was somewhat displeased was simple.

“Yeah, I know.”

It was also because he sensed the presence of the being that Jinseong was trying to speak of.

Jinseong’s heart began to beat again.
