243 – New Right Arm
As I was reborn as a new right-hand man, the true Harasin members knelt on one knee and bowed their heads to show their sincere respect.
Now that I think about it, the lineup is truly desirable.
To the Ain Academy instructor.
Geniuses who are considered the best in swordsmanship and magic.
Even if you look at it as strength.
Even if you look at it in terms of social status.
There are probably only a handful of people on this continent who are superior to the true members of Harasin.
Would such people ever kneel on one knee and raise the top of their heads to show their utmost respect like they do now?
I think there may be none.
So in the end, what I want to say is-
‘This is more burdensome than I thought.’
When I was working as a former right-hand man as a sub-character, I had the awareness that ‘this is not me, this is an alt-character’, so I was able to gain the respect of those people by pretending to be the head of a secret organization with the feeling of roughly manipulating a game character.
What if I was in right arm mode as a sub?
To the top of the head greetings from heroes-
‘Hmm.’
I guess I responded naturally with a meaningful and serious sigh.
But the right arm is no longer my alt.
This is a real character.
Now, those bigwigs were not bowing to the head of an imaginary secret society I had created, but to a person named Ceylon.
How should I react to that?
Like before, bet on the vibes of the head of a mysterious secret society?
‘Wow.’
I can’t do it.
In fact, let alone giving off the vibe of being the head of a secret society.
Even pretending to be their superior was a burden to me.
I am an outsider in this world.
All the abilities I have were not achieved on my own, but were acquired for free through ridiculous routes.
If I were to compare it to a game, it would be like using cheats by myself.
So.

From a certain perspective, my existence itself can be said to be an insult to this world.
I can’t believe I became the leader of those people.
Is this really true?
‘… ‘Once again.’
I soon dismissed the agony.
This is the same case as when we accepted the hearts of our heroes.
If you are absorbed in your own position and ignore other people’s positions, then you are ignoring their positions.
Above all-
I shouldn’t have doubted myself now.
“Right arm, please give me instructions…” “
Le Dar lifted his head and looked up at me.
It may just be my opinion, but I felt like I could feel various emotions from Ledar’s gaze.
Anxiety about the current situation in which my right arm has died.
Relief that the gap in the right arm has been filled.
And worry about the new right arm.
Redar and other true Harasin members.
I think they are probably worried right now, wondering in their minds, ‘Can Ceylon really fill the vacant position of the right arm?’
The seriousness of the situation.
And considering their perception of the right arm, it was only natural.
What do people who know about the right arm have about it?
I think it would be ok to use the expression ‘absolute’.
So far, when I have been working as a right-hand man, I have shown an overwhelming display of annihilating large-scale enemies with a single blow.
The concept of mysticism was also added to it.
It would have been difficult for them to even imagine lying down to sleep, eating, or going to the bathroom, let alone seeing their right arm collapse.
But then that right arm died.
Someone like me took over a situation that even my right-hand man could not handle.
Then what do people who know me think about me?
A no-nonsense guy?
Stupid guy?
A guy with slit eyes?
A guy who looks easy?
Luckily, it won’t be that bad.
I showed these people various sides other than the ones they made up with their characteristics.
These people were people who could be said to know my true worth.
Nevertheless, if compared to the right arm, it would be completely inadequate.
As the situation is a situation.
And since the object of comparison is the object of comparison, it was natural for me to be suspicious of people.
In such a situation, does it show that I don’t trust myself?
This will soon lead to the unrest of the entire hero alliance that relies on the true Harashin.
In the first place, how can someone who doesn’t even trust himself be put in charge of a situation where the rise and fall of the world is at stake?
So.
I should have felt responsible, not burdened by their expectations.
“Everyone, please stand up.”
I spoke very politely, but forcefully, as usual.
They raise their heads and their eyes turn to me.
It was as if his gaze was speaking to me.
Have future measures been decided?
“There is something I must do from now on.”
In response, I spoke confidently.
“… “
That diluted the worry in their eyes, albeit slightly.
“Ceylon, here’s what we can do to help… “
The amount given at that time was carefully asked on behalf of our heroes.
The heroes’ reaction was quite different from that of the true members of Harasin.
It seemed like there was concern in that gaze.
Rather than saying that I am unreliable, I feel like I am genuinely worried that I might make a mistake.
For our heroes, I was Ceylon from the beginning before I was a true member of Harasin.
A soft smile naturally spread across my lips.
“This is what you can help us with. Of course there is. “What can I do without you all?”
These were not empty words.
If my prediction is correct that the source of the power that allowed the left arm to cause this incident was ‘minute’.
You will need the help of heroes to get rid of ‘Bun’.
Did you feel my sincerity?
The expressions of our heroes, who had been shrinking, brightened.
It was truly a smile that made those who saw it happy.
I can’t believe the day will come when I can enjoy such a charming smile.
There were enough reasons to respect and protect this world.

Right arm.
He solved the invasion of darkness, which even the Great Council could not handle, as easily as a lie.
We do not know how they stopped the invasion of darkness that occurred simultaneously on the continent by retreating on their own.
However, lawmakers no longer doubted his abilities.
As Gwangmyeong and Cheonrei strongly argued.
In the current situation, the right hand man was a person that the Great Council had to completely trust and rely on.
That right arm died.
By an unidentified assailant.
“What on earth is that…?” “
The attacker boldly invaded Palyeonseong, the headquarters of the Great Council, alone and then suddenly disappeared.
The strict barrier spread across the Palgyeonseong Fortress and the lawmakers guarding it are as if they are nothing.
The lawmakers recalled the scene of the attack and the power they felt from the attackers.
A shiver ran through my body.
Even if the eight lawmakers present at the moment rushed in at once, there was no guarantee of victory.
Probably, the abnormal phenomenon that is currently covering the continent is also his work.
It was an incomprehensible yet absolute power.
The delegates felt similar emotions as when the dark invasion began in earnest.
What is different from then is that there is no longer a cause that can miraculously solve the situation.
The right arm was the only one in the camp of light who understood the nature of darkness.
You have to face such great darkness without the help of your right arm?
My eyesight became dark.
The sobs of Gwangmyeong, who had been crying while holding the body of his right arm, soon subsided.
There was a heavy silence in the place where the right arm last stayed.
“… “Reddar is planning to come here now with the power of the artifact, along with Ceylon, his right-hand disciple and the true direct master of Harasin.”
It was Libringer who broke the silence.
The right hand man was leaving, and his disciple, Smiling Face, was about to enter.
“Um… “
The response from lawmakers was lukewarm.
The smiling face was also an extraordinary person.
The perceived status, presence, and weight were all lacking compared to the right arm.
Compared to the right arm, who wouldn’t say that?
“… “
The one mentioned is the disciple of the right arm, but in reality, only the presence of the right arm increases.
The body of the right arm, whose heart had already stopped and was getting colder by the minute, dominated the atmosphere of the place.
The lawmakers suddenly became curious.
Who on earth is the right arm?
What kind of person is this?
Their eyes were focused on the mask worn by the right arm.
“It’s not right…”
Gwangmyeong spoke in a subdued voice.
“It is the right arm’s will that puts on that mask. The right arm’s will must be respected.”
The lawmakers agreed with her opinion by looking away.
“You’ve arrived.”
At that time, they captured the flow of mana.
He, the disciple of the right hand man, has arrived.
Although he was less reliable than his right arm, no one could deny that he was the last hope at this point.
“…”
After paying their utmost respect to the body of the right arm, the lawmakers left the place to greet them.
***
“New right arm…”
The right arm predicted his own death and decided on his successor in advance.
It was Ceylon with a smiling face.
The lawmakers who heard the whole story from Ceylon reacted similarly to the previous Ledar group.
I hope you are relieved that your right hand person predicted the worst situation and appointed a successor.
I was disappointed to see that his successor had a smile that was far below that of his right-hand man.
The lawmakers looked at Ceylon.
The reason the lawmakers decided to follow the right-hand man was not only because of his extensive understanding of darkness, but also because of the absolute power he possessed.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for them to follow someone.
The lawmakers are the rulers and strongest of the continent.
They were the ones who reigned supreme throughout their lives.
Not the one supported from below.
Their recognition was very harsh.
Why should we follow you?
Prove your qualifications.
The lawmakers wanted to say that right away to Ceylon, who were of the same mind.
But now, it was a situation where both sides were fighting.
He was none other than the successor recognized by his right hand man.
If you respect your right arm, you should also respect Ceylon.
“Are there any measures…?”
Someone among the council members asked Ceylon, barely able to hide his distrustful expression.
Ceylon nodded his head.
“Yes, countermeasures exist.”
“Can you tell me what the solution is?”
Does this person really have the qualities to replace the right hand man?
Seylon spoke to the lawmakers who were looking at him with testing eyes.
“First of all, there is something you must do first.”
“…Tell me.”
The power my left arm wields now must be the power of a great person.
And, the source of the power of the Great One lies in the shell.
Therefore, if the shell is removed, the power of the Great One in the left arm will also naturally disappear.
If you want to remove the power of negativity that has covered the entire continent and drive out the great evil called the Left Arm, the best solution is to get rid of the shell of the Great One.
That was the decision made by Ceylon.
And Ceylon believed that the way to remove the shell of the great man was through ‘clearing achievements.’
That is.
You must complete the Yeomyeong Budae Jjigae.
“Before you become members of the Great Council, you must become true members of Harasin.”
This is what Ceylon said to lawmakers who did not know the existence of the achievement.
Under the true Harasin who has no right arm –
Come under me, my new right hand man.
I couldn’t hide the shock that everyone in the room felt at the bold and sudden ranking of the young right arm.
