SSS-Class Ranker Return

Elyos's Secret (1)

'If it's this way... … .'

Leaving Talu Ba's mansion, Rokhan began running in the direction his compass of desire was pointing in the new direction.

However, the direction is a bit strange.

If Mo Teron had hidden something from him before he died, he thought it would be outside the city or somewhere in his family's secret place, but isn't the direction Rokhan should go in the direction of the center of the capital, and that is also the direction of the imperial palace?

He thought for a moment that he might have wanted something else without knowing it, but he decided to believe it. He increased his speed at the end, thinking he'd know once he got to it.

"here?"

pinger.

When the compass of desire rotated again and announced that it had reached its destination, the location of Lokan was somewhat surprising.

The final destination is a small statue in front of the entrance to the Imperial Palace.

“Are you really here?”

One of the many demon statues that the celestial statue hunts. Besides, it wasn't even a boss, but it was in the shape of a minion in front of Rokan.

It has a subtle divine power, but it is weak enough to say that it is not an exaggeration compared to other stone statues.

Lokan tilted his head and looked at the statue. If there was really anything here, this statue would be a clue.

“No?”

However, no matter how much I looked, there were no places where ancient patterns were engraved or where a ring could be inserted.

“This is a hole worthy of being inserted… … . Oh, a hole?”

Something flashed in Lokan's mind, who was in despair.

It completely reversed my thinking.

Why did you think that a hole had to be drilled in the statue? Isn't there a hole in the ring to put something in?

Rokhan overturned his thoughts and put the ring on the statue's finger. He looked again and saw that there was only one indentation on one of his fingers, like a ring mark.

Paaah.

At that moment, the power of the statue was reversed.

I wondered if the weakly flowing divine power would completely disappear, but the opposite aura surged in an instant.

Maggie.

Like a statue of the devil, intense magic was emitted.

A black gate appeared in the direction his finger was pointing.

It looked insidious like the jaws of a snake, but there was no choice. Rokhan jumped into it, ready to unleash a furious manifestation at any time.

slurp.

Immediately after Lokan disappeared, the gate was also quickly closed.

The evil magic disappeared, and the statue began to radiate weak divine power with the ring on.

“What is this… … .”

And after a while, a group of people rushed out from the inside of the imperial palace in a very tense appearance. Now, I sensed the energy I thought I would never meet again.

However, there was nothing to be found in the place where Lokan disappeared.

“Maybe, who else?”Irritability has come on. She was worried that something that had barely been blocked would burst.

“Let’s go to Taluva’s house.”

The man who appeared to be the leader of the horde that appeared, with a sharp gleam in his eyes, moved his forces.

It seemed like I needed to crack down on it again.

***

Jiying.

Lokan, who entered a certain space through the warp gate, tensed his whole body. This is to avoid making mistakes as it is a space where you never know when or what will appear.

But nothing appears as if ridiculing Rokhan's such tension. The road was not complicated, and there were no pitfalls.

It's just a long line of murals.

“Start recording the video.”

Gotta keep this I might have to analyze it later, so I took a picture of the mural itself.

I went down the road slowly, taking in its shape and meaning.

"uh… … ?”

And the content in the mural was truly shocking.

It started with the demons.

In the beginning there was evil.

Strong power and malice were the forces that moved the world.

A world ruled by power.

A world ruled by the devil.

However, as the fighting continued, the tendency to worship power grew stronger, but their numbers declined sharply.

The belief was strong, but the number dwindled absurdly.

So the demons came up with a trick.

Carrots and whips.

Let's pick someone who will appease the weak and make them sacrifice their divinity.

Let's pick someone who will heal the wounded so they can fight again.

One of the demons was chosen.

He refused at first, but the more he did the work, the more divine he felt.

He had the pleasure of getting stronger without fighting.

The devil realized

He can be strong without seeking only fighting and death.

The devil is greedy. This is solely because of what he has done.

Isn't it necessary to share this divinity with others?

One day, the demon led the demons that followed him and left their land. He set up a place far away and did the same thing.

He healed the indigenous people and instilled faith in them.

He intervened in fights, sometimes through trials, and made his faith in himself stronger.

I wonder if there is anyone who recognizes himself who ran away with the divine, not only the appearance, but also the color of his power.

The wings of the devil, which were like bat wings, with wings with abundant feathers, from a black magi to a pure white divine.

His own past was completely washed away.

Mixing their own blood with the indigenous people, they even tried to change the roots.

It was also because the number of those who followed the demon, who was called the Celestial God, was limited, but it was because there were powerful beings who succeeded their blood to withstand the attack of the demons who did not know when they would invade.

However, only the highest-ranking establishment tried to protect their identity. They did not mix blood with the indigenous peoples and maintained their pure blood and continued their strong power.

To maintain strong power as a leader, or to be able to return at any time.

“Is this real?”

Lokan, who had seen a huge secret, made a bewildered expression.

Is this really true? I don't think anyone would have put such a huge amount of effort into telling a lie, but this is breaking the mold of common sense.

Ordinarily, don't you think that angels and demons are completely different species, or rather, angels fall and become demons?

But originally they were all the same demons, and those who escaped became Elyos?

It was hard to imagine when considering the usual appearance of the Elyos who were full of a sense of choice and hated the demons.

“So you killed him? To hide your teeth?”

If this is true, isn't this saying that the term 'pure Elyos' is ultimately born from the union of indigenous people and demons, and that even the imperial family is still carrying on the bloodline of the demons?

This was a problem related to authenticity as well as identity.

If they find out about this, will the pure Elyos want to accept the emperor, who is descended from the Asmodian tribe?

Of course, the pure Elyos also did not possess the purity to criticize others, but those who have seen them so far could try to preserve the sense of choice for themselves even by fabricating history.

For example, by claiming that there is something special about the indigenous people who are united with the demons who have fled.

“But the royal family can’t cover it.”

But what about the pure Elyos emperor? How can you justify it with any other words?

Lokan found it difficult. That's why he even sent the Imperial Guard to kill Moteron, who knew the secret.

If this fact is known, other pure Elyos may try to bring down the imperial family to hide their wealth or to preserve their uniqueness.

Realizing the truth, a smile appeared on Rokan's lips.

“I can use this.”

This might be enough to use. Isn't this something that can give great power to the anti-emperor faction?

Lokan, who had a weapon that would shake the Elyos society, checked the updated quest with a sinister smile.

[Moteron's Grudge 4][Quest]

Let's release the resentment of Morteron, an Elyos archaeologist who suffered an unfair death.

-Success Condition: Elyos Archaeologist Moteron's Revenge 0 / 1

-Success Reward: Archaeologist's Legacy

-Failure penalty: None (nullifies the curse)

After the second linked quest to investigate Moteron's death, the quest to investigate Moteron's secret was completed at once.

Now the fourth quest. Finally, the reward was revealed.

“An archaeologist’s legacy?”But the unknown was the same.

As an archaeologist's legacy, I thought that it would be full of junk, but I didn't dare touch the give up button.

It's not that there is no penalty for failure, it's because it was something that he could handle at the same time in the work he was trying to do.

and do you know As an archaeologist, you must have a lot of ancient items, and maybe some of them will be useful.

He didn't expect it, but he had no reason to reject the duplicate quest, so he looked for a way.

A way to seek revenge of Moteron and the division of the Elyos at the same time.

An evil smile appeared on Lokan's lips.

***

When Rokhan came out again, he retrieved his ring and hid himself. He must have sensed something while he was entering and leaving a certain place.

Even though they must have recognized that meeting and being suppressed by Lokan by the Nightmare were all dreams.

‘Did you feel the magic?’

Lokan pointed out the situation at once. It was because the Elyos of the Imperial Palace were recognizable if it was a magi that was activated to create a warp gate.

But fortunately, Taluva was not killed or anything like that.

The Elyos Guards, all over level 400, disappeared after staying in his mansion for a while, and Lokan confirmed the survival of Taluva, which was necessary for his plan to come true, and moved on.

He is to meet the second-class Elyos La Fuze, the leader of the anti-emperor faction.

“Polymorph Cancel.”

“What kind of guy are you!”

“It’s an intruder!”

“This energy… … ?”

But he can't just meet a person like that.

Even if it is a high-level stealth, it is clear that it will be found out, and it is clear that it will not be met because of the different ‘class’ in the form of a pure Elyos, so I boldly released the polymorph and revealed myself.

The title effect of the Divine Beast Hunter was automatically activated and awakened the awareness of the Elyos. It evoked an instinctive rejection and fear.

Therefore, Rokhan raised his hands above his head with his palms open to show that he had no intention of fighting, and even the pure Elyos who aimed their weapons at Rokhan could not attack him recklessly.

He said he had no intention of resisting, but the energy of madness emanating from him was terrifying.

“I want to meet Lafuze-sama.”

Lokan smiled white as it spewed out a tremendous energy that seemed to suffocate the opponent with madness.

He requested an interview with La Fugee.

It is an interview request method that is difficult to understand with common sense, but it was understandable because it was Lokan.

After a while, the good news came.

“… … Lafuze wants to meet you. Follow me.”

Lapuze, a second-class Elyos who is equivalent to a duke in terms of a human class, has decided to meet Lokan.

He was supposed to see him in the waiting room where the mana freeze spell was spread out just in case, but he didn't mind making a fuss.

“Yeah, you said you wanted to see me?”

Upon entering there, a pure Elyos who looked quite old sat down at the top and looked down at Lokan.

A secret meeting began.
