The Player Hides His Past
Chapter 284: Insignificant Thing

Great evil.

Seven Deadly Sins.

Noble ugliness.

There were countless monikers to refer to him.

But nothing sounded satisfactory.

Because he was born that way.

『So jealous.

I am so jealous.

To the point that I want to destroy it if I can’t have it.』

From the moment of birth to eternity.

He longed for something.

A being born to live with ‘enviousness’.

Seven Deadly Sins, Envy.

However, there was nothing to be jealous of on the recent Arcana Continent.

Even his severed right arm stopped being a big deal.

He was able to maintain his composure without difficulty.

『Even mongrels can be helpful sometimes.』

The continent that had been trampled by the mongrels of the Demon World was quiet.

Envy liked the silence.

What made him so happy about such trivial things?

The constant laughter of the humans could no longer be heard.

He didn’t have to watch the figures that he wanted to destroy either.

『I commend you, kings of mongrels.』

Especially the demon kings.

Even those demons who called themselves the kings of mongrels and led the group and got on his nerves. They were somehow so scared that they didn’t reveal themselves.

Envy looked at his amputated right arm.

『Damn Akshan. Damn demon hunter…』

Although he lost his right arm to the demon hunter.

With the Arcana Continent being like this.

He didn’t have to turn to the other world to calm his mind.

It wasn’t bad.

“Damn it…!!”

Until he fell into the world of adventurers along with the Zero Mountain overnight.

He was stuck in the cave, so how did he know that?

Thump–

It was because his heartbeat changed.

What the hell did this world come to be?

The total amount of negative emotions itself was on a different level.

If he were to compare it to the current Arcana Continent, which was full of despair.

It was unparalleled.

“…Karimjeva.”

It seemed it was not for no reason that the brat didn’t mean to call him here.

However, even though Envy admired it, he hadn’t forgotten.

There was a survivor of Akshan, a demon hunter, alive in this world.

Even the words the man left for him.

– “Demon who lost his right arm. I’ll remember that.”

Envy looked at his right arm.

“Tch.”

It was a body full of vitality.

The wound should have been regenerated a long time ago.

The right arm, cut off by the demon hunter, did not grow.

If he faced him in this state…

‘…This time I will be thrown into hell.’

Like Greed of the Seven Deadly Sins and the Demon King Decarabia.

That fear made Envy hide even deeper in the darkness.

It made him dig into a deeper cave, a more inconspicuous cave.

However, Envy’s life of seclusion did not last long.

Because there were players in Zero Mountain.

“I-It’s an appearance message……!!”

“Master…!!”

“It’s Envy, the Seven Deadly Sins?”

He would have to kill them.

Envy thought so when he saw the adventurers entering the cave.

He had thought about it from when he was in Arcana Continent.

There was no other race as insignificant yet unpleasant as adventurers.

Crack!

The body of Envy became ugly and distorted.

The body that was disguised as a human burst out and became its original form.

It turned into a giant body of Envy.

“You insignificant race, blame yourself for being born foolish.”

Adventurer.

They were more dim-witted than the humans of the Arcana Continent.

Resurrection, a power that even he did not have, was wasted on them.

A race that was extremely weak.

And yet, what made them so happy?

The beings who gathered together and traveled all over the continent.

Those beings were madly vexing.

That was why he planned to take their breath away.

“…?”

But, Envy didn’t.

Because he didn’t feel any envy from the adventurers he encountered.

It was a feeling that was surprising even for him.

“Master, I think it’s better to leave… !!”

Master.

The so-called Master was surrounded by countless people.

Many humans threw their bodies to protect one man.

Yet from his perspective, their judgment was clearly distorted.

‘That’s strange.’

On the contrary, his mind became calm.

The man, Liu Jinchun, opened his mouth to Envy.

“Great evil.”

“?”

“Don’t you want to know the world of adventurers?”

.

.

.

Envy put on a cloak and headed towards Union’s gathering place.

Numerous people were gathered at the appointed location.

It was so ridiculous that it made him laugh.

“You are the most foolish among fools.”

Liu Jinchun.

To think that those people considered him their master and followed him.

The reason why Envy felt calm toward Liu Jinchun. Yes, it was because even though Liu Jinchun was a human, he had a malicious intent that was no different from a demon.

“There is no way I would feel jealous of that ugliness.”

That piqued Envy’s interest.

“I don’t know what your goal is.”

Still, watching people despaired because they couldn’t reach their goals.

It had always been fun.

Above all, Liu Jinchun was valuable.

He didn’t bother him and provided information.

Liu Jinchun.

If it wasn’t for him.

The demon hunter.

His name.

His title.

What kind of existence he was in the world of adventurers.

Envy wouldn’t have known all of that.

It was thanks to the information Liu Jinchun provided that he was able to roam the mountain range like this.

“He won’t be able to sense my presence.”

At this moment, that guy would be trapped in the Zero Mountain cave.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, it was easy to devour the prepared sacrifice.

At the figures of adventurers seen from afar.

Envy licked his lips.

“I will gladly accept it.”

Then he thought.

‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to steal his body.’

Liu Jinchun was not human in many ways. So it didn’t seem like a bad idea to possess his body and live in a world of adventurers. Most of all, he would be able to hide his right arm.

As Envy made up his plan, the players blocked his path.

“What are you doing here?”

Red insignia.

Liu Jinchun’s subordinate.

Some of them expressed outright hostility.

‘Can’t be helped.’

They must be in a highly agitated state due to the chaos.

What a pity.

Everything they had done so far was to be a sacrifice to him.

Without even knowing that it was Liu Jinchun’s plan.

They were going to die.

Crack–

Instead of answering, Envy manifested his hidden malice.

A huge hand stuck out of his ribs.

It instantly crushed and absorbed those surrounding it.

“Huuuh…?”

The humans who turned their eyes with final words.

“!!!”

Even the humans who were so surprised by the sight that they took out their weapons.

All of them posed no threat to Envy.

It was only natural.

“Weak. Infinitely weak.”

Even if they were classified as top players in Union, they were not even level 500. Considering that Greed was level 600 when he was resurrected, there was no lie in Envy’s statement.

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

But Envy didn’t complain.

Now that Envy had fallen into the same world as Lee Hoyeol, the demon hunter who cut off his arm.

‘I have to eat whatever I can.’

He had to build up his strength quickly.

In that regard, the world of adventurers, the reality, was a very suitable place.

“Good. Spices make up for the lack of ingredients.”

The moment Envy laughed slightly.

In a place that should be full of fear.

Somehow.

He heard a very excited voice.

“This is unexpected!”

“Does it matter? Everyone except us would die later anyway. I don’t know what’s going on with that stupid thing, but if the end results are the same, this should be fine, right?”

“Hahaha! As expected, we have something in common.”

Gulp.

Envy swallowed the human being that he was holding.

He looked at the two men.

Then he shifted his gaze and looked at the ruins.

Flesh and blood splattered all over the mountain range.

A sudden change of situation.

A human would have no choice but to freeze in fear.

The two men looked exceedingly fine.

As if they were used to this kind of devastation.

Scratch.

Lakid scratched his head.

“So, have you heard of any new plans?”

“Haha! Since when have I been good at magic?”

“I shouldn’t have asked you anything.”

Lakid and Henderson were martial arts fighters.

They were illiterate when it came to magic, so of course they couldn’t communicate with Wolf. But would Wolf have any plan in a situation like this?

“Still, if they all died, it would be a problem. Isn’t there a limit to how that gloomy woman can bring corpses back to life with magic?”

“Gloomy woman? Isabel Marl? The person listening would be upset. Haha!”

“Stop splitting up, let’s do something about that bastard first.”

Whisk–

Lakid took off his rabbit mask and raised his axe.

A being that made you feel unpleasant just by looking at it…

Only demons could do that.

Clang–

Just like Lakid, Henderson raised his hammer.

Lakid told Henderson.

“Well, be careful not to be intimidated.”

“Hahaha. I hope so.”

“As expected, I said something pointless.”

Woosh!

At the same time, the battle started.

The entire situation was shared with the Shadow Mercenary Corps through Nadivo.

Alkali let out a sigh.

“…Um.”

The only one who understood the meaning was Vice Leader Wolf.

“I vaguely thought about it.”

“About what?”

“Liu Jinchun. I wonder if the monarch of the adventurers really didn’t know his group was rotting. More than just ignorance, he looked like he was encouraging it.”

“Hmm…”

“Thanks to that, my mind is clearer now.”

If he assumed that the monster was a demon.

All his questions were solved.

Liu Jinchun and the demon had a symbiotic relationship.

Liu Jinchun ordered his subordinates according to his interests.

If Wolf thought of it as him giving them away to the demon.

“His subordinates were some kind of sacrifice.”

Wolf raised the corners of his mouth.

“I never thought there would be another trash just like us.”

Alkali supported it.

“Considering the difference in the years we have lived, I think he’s worse than us. It was an evil act that was far ahead of this old man’s thoughts. Now I have no choice but to admit it, I underestimated the monarch of adventurers.”

He wasn’t being sarcastic, it was sincere.

Alkali had been observing the governance of the Arcana Continent.

The monarchs who survived on the Arcana Continent did not survive because they were saints. They survived because they were so merciless that some people called them tyrants.

Alkali asked Wolf.

“So what are you going to do, Acting Leader Wolf?”

All eyes of the Shadow Mercenary Corps turned to Wolf.

“I don’t know.”

Wolf imagined.

If he were Leader Kitch, what kind of decision would he make?

Then he shook his head.

Kitch wouldn’t have planned this in the first place.

Because she would have tried to solve everything by herself.

In that respect, she was weak, unlike him.

‘Because Leader dragged in everyone she wanted to protect.’

But they wanted to protect the same thing.

Shadow mercenaries, all of them.

They moved to find her.

Wolf opened his mouth as if it were natural.

“For now, let’s beat him half to death in our usual style and make him reconsider.”

.

Envy looked down. Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“I did it just in case.”

The number of seats was ‘nine’.

One seat was empty, unlike what he knew.

However, he noticed the stigma wrapped around the man’s body.

『Shadow God’s Stigma』

They were the Shadow Mercenary Corps.

Envy looked down on his body.

The mangled body twitched and regenerated.

Envy evaluated it objectively.

“That’s amazing.”

He didn’t expect that as a demon he would suffer this much damage against humans in a situation that was advantageous to him. Recalling the past, Envy said once again.

“As expected, it was not for no reason that the request was entrusted to you.”

“…”

Wolf clutched his torn side.

He was not like the Leader….

But this might be the first time he blamed Henderson and Lakid.

‘Fear, they can’t feel that important emotion.’

He misread the situation because they were too nonchalant.

He thought it was a common-type demon.

Hell, even just looking at him, he was no ordinary demon.

It was not just because Wolf encountered him in person that he realized this.

He could recognize it from what Kitch left behind.

– “I want to confirm that it was a request from a great evil.”

Thanks to that, the moment the demon mentioned the request.

He was convinced.

That demon was a great evil.

However, the demon’s next words were far beyond his expectations.

“You faithfully carried out that important request.”

His sides were torn off.

“What…?”

Twitch!

The damage to his lungs and other organs was severe.

Even just flinching.

Just breathing in could cause fatal damage.

But Wolf continued, even as he vomited blood.

He needed to.

He had to ask.

‘We carried out the request perfectly…?’

Kitch said it clearly.

A request from a great evil.

It was one of the malicious requests that remained in the ledger because it had not been resolved for a long time. If she could confirm what the great evil’s request was, it could help the Commander-in-Chief.

So, it was Kitch who accompanied the Commander-in-Chief when he entered the Arcana Continent.

Only then did Wolf realize it.

‘…You knew it from the beginning, Leader.’

The only person who could reveal the request ledger was the leader of the Shadow Mercenary Corps.

She couldn’t have been confused about the content of the request or whether it succeeded or not.

Wolf paused for a moment.

‘…Wait a minute.’

Kitch disappeared.

She only left a message to the Commander-in-Chief that she would take full responsibility.

At that point, it would be after she confirmed once again what the great evil’s request was.

His thoughts flow naturally.

Soon, Wolf came to a conclusion.

‘…The great evil’s request was related to the Commander-in-Chief.’

It was only now that Kitch’s actions began to make sense.

“Haha…”

That was why she disappeared, leaving behind those words.

“That’s so fucking twisted….”

Wolf thought of Hoyeol and lowered his head.

He started to understand Kitch’s actions that he didn’t like.

Perhaps he would have made the same judgment.

But he had to ask this.

Wolf struggled to open his mouth to Envy.

“The contents of the request… What was it?”

“You don’t know about it?”

“Yes… It’s only been a few days since I became the leader.”

It was not difficult to answer a human from the Arcana Continent that Envy encountered for the first time in a while.

The moment Envy thought it was no big deal and opened his mouth.

“Cla…”

A sound rang out in his ears.

“…!!!”

It wasn’t the groans of the fallen Shadow Mercenary Corps.

Nor it was Wolf’s voice.

Wolf.

It was a real wolf’s howling.

In other words.

“Aooo—-!”

It was a tempest hanging over the mountain.
