“Of course not. It's just a vague idea of mine. ”

“What?”

The one with a serious face suddenly shows a fresh look. Yoohyun frowned.

“Anyway, it's better to get out of here quickly...”

Lute, who touches his jaw slowly, blurs his end and suddenly laughs freshly.

“Honestly, I don't see a way. I've already tried to interpret the shield several times, but unfortunately I haven't done anything at all. For now, my heart feels like I want a little clue like a zigzag in my hand. ”

“Then try harder. If you don't want to die like this. ”

“Hmm. I'm trying, but... it's not my area of expertise. ”

Lute scratches the ball and laughs bitterly at Yoohyun's cold demands.

On the same side of the shield was a professional wizard. Lute was not a shield specialist.

Yoohyun knew that, so he couldn't ask for any more action.

There was no way to protect Yoohyun. If it was near the border of the shield, I might have tried to get out, but now it's too late.

I can't see it through the map, but it's getting closer and closer to the shield.

It's like being dragged slowly into a dungeon. If I tried to pull my foot off, I should have done so in the beginning.

But now that I've taken a deep step, I can't be clear.

“But there are a few things you can see: the shield has been built for a long time. No matter how brilliant the Wizard is, he can't make this shield in such a short time. ”

“For how long? ”

“How long can it take for a year? My calculations are roughly that much. ”

“............ ”

As Lute smiled, Yoohyun closed his mouth.

Is this something to talk about with a smile right now?

In the meantime, the people in Carnaden had no idea until the Black Nail Kuwaro built such a huge shield. What are the known information about Carnaden now?

“The more you know, the lighter you feel that you're not an opponent. Seriously, Yoohyun also picked this guy from the beginning. Our first row of Carnaden is pretty hardcore. ”

Cook, Lute said with a mild smile. Yoohyun's expression became even more crunchy.

“I admit that, too. But in a way, it's a good thing we found it now. ”

“Yes, it is. I suggest you return to the city as soon as possible to inform them of this fact. ”

I don't know how much work has gone on. It would be stupid to let it go like this.

It can happen at any time, such as when Lorelai was born.

It was a time when the atmosphere was overwhelming.

“By the way, it looks like bad guests are finally appearing. We haven't responded in the last two days, and we've been waiting to be cautious. ”

Lute turns his head and looks at the other side of the dark jungle.

Something has been detected in the shield. The number is about 20.

He was coming in secret, killing a miracle he didn't know he had already been caught.

“Kuwaro?”

“Yes, I think so. What are we going to do?"

Looking at Lute's sleeping group, Yoohyun shakes his head.

Tomorrow you will use a lot of stamina, but I don't want to make it hard here.

“If I'm alone, that's enough. Just give me the approximate location. ”

“Okay, then I'll keep the group here. ”

“Please.”

Yoohyun concealed himself with Lute pointing in the direction.

Ta-da-da-da, the sound of a blazing campfire.

Kuwaros attacked in the middle of the night, but Lute put in new firewood to keep the campfire from going out. To be honest, the Kuwaros' raid is not very frightening.

Lute's face, which is sticking firewood in the campfire, is flawless in itself.

“Hmm. This must be a good experience, too. ”

Seeing the group sleeping comfortably without knowing what was going on in the middle of the night, Lute shed a relaxing smile. It was small, but the screams of Kuwaros seemed to be heard in the cold night wind.

*

The dawn began to permeate, but it still felt dark around. Although the sun was rising, the nature of the jungle, composed of complex boreal forests, prevented sunlight from reaching the earth.

When morning came, Yoohyun's group moved diligently as always.

I was forced to move hard to see the end of this labyrinth-like jungle.

It was about two hours before the shift began in the early morning.

Yoohyun was able to find animals for the first time after entering the jungle.

But the problem is that the body is already dead.

“Looks like he's been dead a long time. You can see it's completely white without any flesh. ”

As you reach out carefully, the white goal becomes powder and collapses with a small impact.

Yoohyun lifts his head as he sees the dust scattering in the wind from somewhere.

It was reported that Yoohyun as well as other groups had found the body around.

“There's a body here, too. ”

“Here, too. Looks like he died recently. ”

“.. it looks like the birds have been killed here. ”

Animal corpses were showing up everywhere.

Not a very good phenomenon. Yoohyun's group is also nervous about whether they felt ominous. I can see a fine tremor in the face of the group that has been wandering through the jungle with a pronounced face.

“Let's keep going. ”

Yoohyun raised her body with her bent legs. No more checking on the bodies.

It must be because of the shield that the various corpses, regardless of race, are here.

Yoohyun moved along the bodies. The group followed Yoohyun silently.

Moving forward, the more powerful the monsters look, the more they are found.

There were only small animals at first, and now there are a lot of big ones.

How long did he follow the bodies? Yoohyun stopped walking and gave the signal.

The group also stops moving in response to a signal that something has been found in front of them.

After the line of corpses was broken, a huge altar was found there.

“That. What is identity? ”

Anyone can see that it is an altar for consciousness.

Whether it was a fairly old building or not, the altar remained here for many years, as if looking at the ruins. Fragments that were originally well trimmed were also heavily deformed due to weathering.

However, it was not difficult to figure out what the shape of the altar meant. The shape of the altar was enough to put pressure on Yoohyun's group.

Reptile eyes. It's just a rock, but it's creepy to see it.

“It's a huge... snake. It's like the snake of Aspada we first met. ”

“You must be the snake, right? ”

“Why are you sculpting him like that? ”

Song Ga-yeon nodded as if everyone agreed to the murmuring story.

The statue of a serpent, carved to a large scale, lost much shape due to weathering, but the feeling of magnificence remained intact. My eyes are sharp.Like I'm gonna live right now.

When everyone was overwhelmed by the shape of the altar, Yoohyun slowly looked around.

It is faint but there is a smell of blood in the air. Not at all aware if not sensitive to the smell of blood. Yoohyun, who looked around with his eyes narrowed, walked toward the altar.

“Oh... brother. I think it's best not to get any closer. ”

Then Lee Seo-yeon held Yoohyun's arm and trembled.

A bluish face. Her eyes tremble as if she were crying right now.

Yoohyun asked, seeing her more toxic than the rest of the group.

“What are you feeling right now? ”

“I don't know... but it's dangerous here. It's hard to say, but... can we just ignore it here? Yes?”

My voice is desperate. I feel stronger when I hold Yoohyun's arm.

However, no matter how powerful Lee Seo-yeon has been, it doesn't hurt much.

“........... ”

Yoohyun remained silent for a while.

Looking at Lee Seo-yeon, she smiled bitterly and stroked her head without a word.

Then strangely, her tremors began to sag. Reds the face.

Just like he realized his behavior was weird.

Yoohyun walks toward the altar as she sees her small hand fall while holding her arm.

I think you should know where this smell of blood comes from.

That intense feeling was stimulating Yoohyun.

Yoohyun frowns on the altar.

I could see a staircase going underground on the altar.

An exquisite location you won't see until you come up.

That means there is more to this altar than what is visible.

‘There's a trace of someone moving. ’

There were footprints on the stairs. That's recent, too.

Moreover, the smell of blood was rising in this passage with a cool breeze.

Yoohyun frowned and retreated.

I knew this place wasn't just a ruin.

So the question is, what are we going to do about this?

I wanted to investigate like this, but unfortunately I can't afford to.

Yoohyun said in a low voice, feeling the miracles flocking around.

“Prepare for battle. ”

At the same time as Yoohyun spoke, the magical energy began to sweep around.

That was black magic.
