Level Up

The marble lowers altitude as Crocchia begins to appear. I didn't want people to see me flying around on dragons.

The low flying dragon approaches Crocchia and pauses for a moment in the air. It was a free material to move or stop in the air because it floated with magical power.

As you slowly go down, the metal plate hanging from the dragon touches the ground.

Then all the people on board got off.

The stone that sent the dragon back was headed back to Croccilia. The distance is still good, but we should be able to arrive within the hour.

The stone started walking fast. The group hurries behind you.

Movement speed is accelerating. Like reflecting the heart of a stone.

* * *

“The atmosphere... is a little strange? ”

Ryu Ji-hye quietly said to Hyun-Seok.

Now they're walking the streets of Crocchia. However, the atmosphere or situation has changed a lot since I came back before.

Once it was through the gate, it wasn't that hard. It didn't feel as tightly controlled as it used to feel.

Coming in was like letting yourself in. Instead, I took care of the person who left.

And there were a lot more people. Everywhere I went, it was crowded. Moreover, the proportion of people carrying weapons has increased significantly.

“Something happened in the meantime? ”

Ryan glances around, his eyes glowing. Everyone raised tension.

Obviously, it was not an ordinary situation, so no matter what happened, nothing was strange.

You just have to be careful when this happens. Life in a dungeon is about not knowing when to die unless you are careful and careful.

“Mercenaries?”

“Don't you think they're too well-dressed and equipped to be mercenaries? ”

“I see. Those people over there... seem a little strong. ”

With several classes in mind, the group continues to have their own assessments and conversations.

The conclusion was that a considerable number of troops had been brought here to Crocilia.

“Don't you think you can see the soldiers of the Krasins? ”

“It's not all there. It's over there and over there. ”

However, even if it was nothing compared to other soldiers or mercenaries, it was not that strange.

“The rest will be at the walls and the gates. You're the family that used to be in charge. ”

The reason the group is able to have these conversations is because they heard more about Croccilia from Kendrick before they arrived here.

Once he began to communicate, Kendrick became a kind of hydrogen of knowledge and information to the group.

It was like someone knew nothing about the dungeon world here. Whatever I asked, I answered without hesitation.

Kendrick doesn't know everything, but he knows more about Berlin, Crocchia and a few other nearby cities than any other practitioner. He has quite a lot to say to his group.

After all, it was only natural that the eyes of the group that were discussing it would converge with Kendrick.

“From what I can see...... I think I've dispatched troops from several cities close to Crocchia. ”

Everyone looked surprised at the words.

“Given the atmosphere, it doesn't look like war... … Something serious has happened. that we should be empowered to do. ”

“The situation we need to use our strength...... If the Masuna are not here, it's war!" ”

Everyone's expressions became serious.

“Are you holding hands to invade Berlin? ”

Berlin was the first city to be targeted if the nearby cities held hands.

Once we take control of Berlin, we can secure our rear and attack the rest of the city safely.

In other words, it also meant that it would be impossible to enter the cities of the dungeon world here if you did not cross Berlin.

But in that opinion, Kendrick shakes his head.

“I don't think so. I think the problem is not on the outside, but on the inside.... ”

Kendrick glances at the gate, saying so. At the gate, there was a long line of people trying to get out.

It's easy to get in, but I'm really checking you out. Sometimes, people couldn't even go out to check properly.

It gives you a rough idea of what Kendrick is saying. Ryan nods and mutters.

“I'm looking for someone. ”

“Yes, that's right. And it's not the men guarding the gates, or the soldiers or the knights of Croccilia. ”

“No?”

“Yes. When I look at the outfit or the equipment...... there are troops from three cities mixed up. ”

There were only three cities nearby where Croxia could hold her hand.

So it's safe to assume that all the cities are holding hands.

Hearing all of the situation and confirming it, it concluded.

“Perhaps... we should hurry." ”

The most powerful family here in Croccilia was, indeed, the Kransis family.

So it was the easiest and quickest way to get to the Krantys and talk to them.

Hyun-Seok headed for the Kransis family, and I thought that things wouldn't be so simple.

It was natural that what was happening here in Croccilia would have a lot to do with the Cracis family.

* * *

Hyun-seok arrives at the mansion of the Kransis family.

The men guarding the mansion were soldiers and knights with faces. When they saw the stone, their eyes lit up. But I didn't pretend to know him or come near him.

Hyun-seok stood still and looked at the mansion. Coming this close, you can see why you wanted to come to Crocchia.

‘Cause of that. But... it's a little strange. ’

As he approached the mansion, he could sense the presence of Inferno, the treasure of the Kransis family.

But there was something strange about it.

Right now, it was full of magical powers all around. I don't know what happened, so let's be careful.

So I could feel the flow or existence of magic more clearly than usual.

But it wasn't the player who was wearing the Inferno. An ordinary person who does not possess magic wears an Inferno.

The current owner of Inferno was Earl Krans. And perhaps when he dies, Earl Xenon will take over.

But someone else is wearing it. Someone I can't even use.

“What are you doing? You should go in first.”

Kendrick, who couldn't wait, approaches and cautiously says.

Hyun-seok nodded and approached the front door. No matter what the circumstances, I was not afraid to break it and protect my body.

As Hyun-Seok decided to come closer, the soldiers who were waiting to see until then politely greeted him.

Then the knight in command steps forward and says,

“I put a message inside. Let's get you inside. ”

The gate slowly opens, terrified to the end of the knight's words. Hyun-seok enters the open door with the group.

Inside, there were three knights waiting for guidance. They greet him politely and lead the group to the mansion.

The house of the Kransis family was quite large. Of course, the garden was large and the building was very high.

He used to stay in an annex, but today he seems to be taking him home.

That way, the group enters.

Then the atmosphere of the entire house changed rapidly.

Magical flow has changed, and the temperament that people showed has changed. Something magical has happened.

No, it was real magic.

Everyone was surprised by the sudden change in atmosphere. However, Hyun-Seok was confident without any fluctuations.

It was something I expected anyway.

The group is embarrassed and quickly recovers from the appearance of the stone. Thinking about it, it was really not easy for them to get into trouble here.

But Kendrick couldn't hide his anxious expression. He squeezes his voice as hard as he can so that only the group can hear him.

“House Krantys has a very fearsome treasure. It is said to be powerful enough to exterminate a horde of demons or horsemen in a heartbeat. So be careful. ”

Kendrick told me this story because there's been a rumor going around that the treasure was once in its power.

If the rumors are true, the Krantys are truly formidable.

Hyun-seok glances at anxious Kendrick. But he didn't say anything about it. I just showed him a blunt expression that was not the same as usual.

But that alone made Kendrick feel suddenly calm. It was an amazing experience.

‘Really...... I'm sure it's not just anyone. ’

As the group regains their peace, someone emerges from the front.

It was Juke who appeared under the escort of seven knights.

“Hahahaha! Now that we've met, should I say hello? Hahahaha!”

Juke smiles cheerfully. I liked this situation even when it got messy.

“Are you here to see your father and brother? But what am I gonna do with this? They're not here anymore. Hahahahahaha!”

Juke laughs out loud again. This smile contained more contempt and ridicule than cheerfulness.

Hyun-seok checked Juke's wrist. As expected, Inferno was owned by Juke.

“Were you watching this? Does it look good on you? ”

Hyun-seok smiled.

“Is that a decoration?”

Juke's expression hardened for a moment. However, I shook my head with a smile.

“No way. There's a way to use them all, so I did this. This wasn't supposed to be used only by people with magical powers. ”

Juke says that and smiles at the skyscraper.

“I wrote this a month ago. You were pretty sure? You blew up all those guys who were gonna kill me. ”

Juke said that he wrote it himself, and he looked a little suspicious. You need some convenience to use that without magic.

However, Hyun-seok nodded. It was because I could roughly understand what Juke wrote.

It was a magical man.Of course, it wouldn't be just magical. Magic power will also require a fairly large stable stone.

If you use them well, you'll be able to use the Inferno somehow.

Inferno itself is a great artifact, but its security level was very low. No, I avoided it at all.

“What do you think? Let's check it out. ”

Juke raises his hand to the squadron. Then I took out a small metal box with my other hand.

It appears to be the device that allows Juke to use the Inferno.

“That's not going to do it. Don't you have anything to eat? ”

At the words of Hyundai, Juke stared at me with a firm expression. But I soon regained my relaxation and laughed in relief.

“Well, it doesn't matter. It'll all be over soon anyway. If you disappear, he'll give up without hiding. ”

As expected, the enhanced surveillance of the gates was probably due to Xenon. I was curious about the quality of the Knights guarding the Gateway, but I didn't think the opponent had enough to do with Xenon.

“Do me the honor of dying. My father sent me this, too. ”

Juke sighs. No family has ever been like this.

“Phew. So you took the power of another city to kill your father and claim a treasure you couldn't spend alone?" ”

“That's it! That's it for me! ”

Hyun-seok shakes his head. I thought I was going to have an accident. However, I suspect it will be cleared from the Earl Krasnos or the Earl Xenon line.

I didn't think Juke would bring in another city to kill Count Krantys.

“So what are you going to do after you kill me and capture Xenon? To attack another city and become a king? Did the nobles of the surrounding city say they would make them like that? ”

“Yes! You know that! I am the king of this new land! ”

Hyun-seok shakes his head at the words.

“It's me, not you. ”

“What?"

Juke stared at the stone with his ridiculous eyes. Then he snores and pours a pill out of his mouth.

His body was instantly full of magic. But the magic was speeding out.

It was the same reaction as when I drank the magic water.

Juke grips the metal box with the hand full of Inferno.

“No more nonsense. ”

Juke activated the Inferno. A bright light emanates from the metal box momentarily.

With the exception of the string, the group looks at it and prepares to stop each other. It was inevitable. What will my colleagues do if they avoid living alone?

An enormous magical force surges from their bodies.

But that was it. Inferno didn't work. There was no magical movement in Inferno.

“What, what! Oh, come on! ”

The juke gripped it and activated the inferno again. The method of operation was not wrong. And the metal box made to operate the inferno was not wrong.

A dazzling light emanates from the metal chest. But that was it.

Inferno still did not work.

“Profit! Why don't you get out! Get out! Get out! ”

Juke cries out in a seizure. But no matter how hard I tried, Inferno was a floating point.

Hyun-seok glances around the group.

“Are you going to stay still? He was gonna kill us all. ”

Ryan smirks and blows away. I've been in pain for a while, but now I can unwind properly once.

The enormous magical power raised to stop the inferno has now turned into a powerful force and flew towards the Zug party.
