The Status Window Disappeared - Chapter 136



Homecoming (1)

Geumwang seemed to have learned quite a bit about Earth based on the stories of the players.

As if to confirm his knowledge, Chris asked for a detailed plan.

“What exactly do you want me to do?”

“I understand that the players who were summoned to this world came over while playing some kind of game. So why not get rid of it first?”

“Arios Online is just a program for pre-education. Even if we get rid of that, people who use player summoning spells will continue to appear.”

The status window used by Chris and Arios Online are separate.

Even if I go over to Earth and explode the servers of Arios Online, I won’t be able to stop summoning players.

King Geum nodded his head as if he knew that.

“you’re right. But isn’t that pre-training having too much of an effect? It’s okay if you can’t block the summon completely. Even if the level of the newly summoned players drops, it is a great benefit to us.”

“Um… … .”

Chris thought there was some truth in the king’s words.

The player summoning spell used by people in this world is a method of pulling people who have a close relationship with Arios Online.

If you’re lucky, the order might be twisted and there might be an error.

Even if that were not the case, it was clear that the level of the newly summoned players would drop noticeably.

It’s a bit of an adventure, but the risks are low and the gains are great.

As Chris looked at the magic crystal on the table seriously, Illesis appeared outside the drawing room.

As if she had overheard the conversation inside, she said straight away without saying hello to the gold king.

“I am against this plan. What if I just listen to this person and go to Earth and then get summoned to another country? They say they investigated the schedules of other countries, but they could be lying to us.”

“What can I do with a simple summoning? It’s not like I’m going to let go of anything.”

Chris showed an optimistic attitude, as if he had already been taken in by the gold king’s proposal.

Illesis sees it and sighs. This time, the King of Gold seeks her opinion.

“Just in time, an expert has arrived. If we were to get rid of Arios Online, what would the player summoning spells look like?”

“that’s right. Illesis, can you give me a rough idea of the results?”

Chris also showed interest in his words, and Illesis answered with a thick voice.

“It’s my guess, but the Arios Online or something Chris was talking about must have been magically manipulated. If it’s gone, summoning new players will be difficult. Anyway, it can be solved by tweaking the order a little… Usually it will take wizards six months or more to modify their summoning spells.”

“Then isn’t it worth a try? With a magic crystal of this size, other people besides me can pass through it too, right?”

When Chris said that, Illesis’ expression slightly changed.

My earlobes stand upright and my body trembles little by little.

She asks in an earnestly skeptical tone.

“That, is it? So, who are you going to go with?”

“Of course I will go with you. Tyrone can’t use magic, so he won’t be as helpful as you… … .”

Elgar doesn’t know what he’s going to do on Earth, and he can’t tell the King of Gold about his existence anyway.

Illesis, who understood the omission in Chris’ reply, let out a deep sigh and pretended not to win.

“This is Chris’ hometown. Then there is nothing you can do If you really want to go, I can only help… … .”

“Oh, no. Is there Luana? I’m a little more anxious about my skills than you, but I’m probably used to Earth… Illesis, I think you can stay here.”

“what?”

Illesis, whose twin wicks were turned on by the unexpected words, did not look at the liver any longer.

She glared at the gold king as if she were about to eat it and asked as if to confirm.

“You can really feel at ease for about a week, right?”

“If you have any doubts about what I am saying, you can check it yourself. I’ll stay here for a while anyway, so if Chris doesn’t come back, slit my head.”

“I don’t think it will end that easily.”

Illesis decided to trust him despite being cold and sarcastic.

Chris, whose heart had already arrived on Earth, went ahead with the plan.

Upon hearing his thoughts, Tyrone reacted with skepticism, as did Illesis.

“Isn’t this too hasty? What will I do if I fall outside the eyes of the evil god because of this incident?”

“Anyway, it’s a problem that will come face to face at some point. I cannot miss the opportunity to stay on Earth for a week.”

“Then Illesis can come back, right? Even if you assume that you will be resummoned after some time, there is no guarantee that Illesis will be the same.”

When Tyrone brought up a concern of his own, Illesis immediately retorted.

“The reason players who have returned to Earth are resummoned is because the gravity of this world is stronger. I’m originally from this world, so I’m no exception to that rule. If anything, I can use the transfer spell.”

“Right, you could have done that… … .”

When Tyrone finally agreed, this time Elgar, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the three, spoke out with an expression of interest.

“That magic crystal… Didn’t you say that 10 players can be summoned? Then, at this point, can I go to your world too?”

“yes? Eh, do you want to go with Elgar?”

Illesis blatantly showed dislike, but Elgar didn’t pay much attention to it.

Then, a reluctant Chris persuaded her.

“We need a wizard with good skills to be resummoned, but Elgar-sama is perfect for that… … .”

Some of the wizards in this position must remain in the territory and take charge of the resummoning.

Understanding her role, Elgar sighed and accepted it.

“is it? i get it. No special concessions this time. It’s a problem if you leave it to a wizard with poor skills and you can’t come back here… … .”

Illesis didn’t seem to like Elgar’s words at all, but she put up with it.

In any case, this fight is your victory.

It is the duty of the winner to be willing to listen to the complaining of the loser.

After a quick discussion, the two packed their bags as if they were going sightseeing.

Chris’s clothes were originally similar to those of Earthlings, so he didn’t have to change much, and Illesis helped Luana to fix his clothes.

The most problematic was Illesis’ appearance, and she couldn’t claim to be Korean either before or after her transformation.

Noticing that, Luana pointed at herself and said.

“Then why don’t you imitate me?”

“no… Luana-sama stands out just like Luana-sama.”

Chris shakes his head and says Luana’s puzzled reaction.

She has a level of appearance comparable to that of some celebrities, so it is not a reference textbook. It’s a disguise to avoid attracting people’s attention, but isn’t it troublesome when the eyes gather again?

Illesis, stunned by Luana’s proposal, asks Chris.

“excuse me… Is my original face so conspicuous? To the extent that it can never exist in your world?”

“No, that’s not the case, but it’s hard to find in Korea. Should I say it’s similar to how you guys watch the players?”

The appearance of these natives of the world, including Illesis, is close to that of white Europeans.

There are not many foreigners, and even that is a look that is hard to find in Korea, where most of them are Southeast Asians or Asians.

It is not that her original version is lacking, so it will stand out even more.

However, after listening to Chris, Illesis was stubborn in a strange place.

“Then, let’s release the transformation spell and go. Wouldn’t it be okay to press the hood down anyway?”

“People in our world don’t often wear hoodies, do they? Well, there are baseball caps all over the place, so it might be okay to use them.”

“right? Because you’re only stuck at times like this. It’s not a difficult mission anyway, so let me do whatever you want.”

For some reason, Tyrone sided with Illesis.

Receiving unexpected support, she raised her thumb without Chris knowing.

In fact, Chris didn’t think this job would be particularly difficult, so he allowed her persistence.

There are no countermeasures against magic on Earth, so having her as a wizard would be a piece of cake.

Geumwang, who was looking at them anxiously, reminds everyone of their plans again.

“The length of stay in the other world is one week. For the next 10 days or so, there is no schedule for summoning other countries, but just in case, please return a little earlier.”

“If you move too early, you might catch the eye of the body, so be careful… The operation should be carried out roughly on the sixth day.”

“I get it, I get it. I’m sorry I couldn’t take you either.”

Tyrone, who was making a fuss as if he were going, stopped Chris’ words.

Chris humbly accepted it and stood on top of the magic circle Illesis had drawn.

The reverse summoning spell to return to Earth boasted a murderous level of difficulty, but Elgar and Illesis completed it effortlessly.

Eventually, when the magical power crystal handed over by the gold king is embedded in the center of the magic circle, complex bizarre patterns begin to glow and operate.

Illesis quietly asked Tyrone, who was about to fall in haste.

“If we don’t come back, we’ll kill the gold king. I’d rather torture you until I beg you to kill me… … .”

“Again, you sound inappropriately bloody. It’s okay, so please come back safely.”

Terrified at her words, Tyrone waves at the two of them.

Chris was swept away by a tremendous amount of magical power as he was seen off.

A spell powerful enough to pierce a hole in the dimension buried the two bodies into the light.

By the time the dazzling brilliance had faded, the scene he had missed so much was unfolding before Chris’s eyes.

The smell of cigarettes and soot that feels quite fragrant.

Crowds at a disgusting level, noise hitting the eardrums.

Seoul, a jungle of concrete and asphalt, was their destination.

While Illesis, who had fallen into an unknown alley, looked around, Chris almost instinctively checked his status window.

Fortunately, the abilities of the two were still alive in this world.

Illesis, who had been briefly explained by Tyrone and Chris, suddenly felt uneasy as he walked out of the alley, and grabbed Chris’ arm tightly.

“Wow, why are there so many people? Where did the war break out?”

“I told you. The population of this city is 10 million… Of course, even if I heard those numbers, I wouldn’t really feel it.”

“10 million… Now I know roughly how it feels.”

As if the two had fallen on a busy street, they had to cling to each other so as not to be hit by passers-by.

After a cursory glance around, Chris was able to guess their location.

“Could it be Jongno? I’m glad it’s not far from home though. Let’s go into the store for now.”

From noble mtl dot com

Modern people are noticeably helpless without cash or cards.

Chris knew that well, so he went into a clothing store with no customers.

The owner of the shop, who seems to be very leisurely, smiles slightly at the rare combination of customers.

Illesis, barely freed from the crowd, hardened once again after seeing the products that filled the narrow store.

“Do all the stores around the world stock this much?”

“This is a little special because it is a famous clothing market called Dongdaemun Market. Um, I like this one.”

Chris picked up a baseball cap that was loosely hanging in the corner of the store and put it on Illesis’ head.

After making sure the size was roughly right, I walked over to the checkout and asked her.

“Illesis, mind suppression.”

“huh? Ah, yes!”

Embarrassed by the fit of her baseball cap, she belatedly used the spell.

The shopkeeper’s expression, which had been suspicious, quickly became blank.
