Chapter 59 The White Devil (1)

“The White Devil has appeared. ”

Someone's voice strikes the heavy silence. The nobles gathered at the meeting shaken their heads with a serious look.

“Where are you this time? ”

“I appeared on the Riddick Plain on the western front. ”

It was Earl Ares who was in charge of the Imperial Special Forces commander who answered the questions of the nobleman who was wearing the Earl's portrait.

“Who is the White Devil? ”

Someone asks. Ares' gaze is upon him. Now, he was a nobleman who could not attend the last meeting because he had a reason.

“It's not weird that you don't know this because it was discussed at the last meeting. The White Devil is a word that refers to the unidentified swordsmanship of the recent emergence. He wiped out the empire army that had driven the Royal Alliance General Sandor from the central front and led the Noble Order to destruction on the western front. ”

After a long explanation of Ares, everyone in the room was appalled.

“You mean the Noble Order was defeated? ”

The nobleman who appeared to be a general in the Imperial Army asked with an unreliable look on his face.

Even within the Noble Order, it was the least likely group to lose. Often there are no verdicts, but the battles they lose are rare.

“It's embarrassing, but it's true. ”

The Noble Order's Chief of Staff, Jesper, has acknowledged the noble commander's defeat. It was ugly to deny what everyone would find out anyway.

“The White Devil first appeared on the Middle Front. At that time, our Noble Order identified him as a threat and sent a pursuit and assassination request to the Imperial Secretary. ”

Jasper's gaze was on Ares. I did not deny the defeat, but I did not intend to bear all the responsibility.

“But it looks like it's too late for the Special Forces. ”

“We've dispatched survey and ghost troops, but there are no more signs of movement." ”

Ares has spoken. It is true that a request was made from the Noble Order, just as Jasper said.

So I dispatched troops, but there were no signs of movement on the battlefield. Since Seong-jun returned to Earth shortly after the battle was over, it was a natural result.

“You mean the Special Forces Survey Unit failed to track down? ”

“Oh my God! What the hell.... ”

The nobles were once again appalled. The Imperial Special Forces Survey Unit was even capable enough to say they could find even traces of demons.

But not everyone reacted that way.

“What the hell is the Special Forces doing? Don't waste your troops on useless work! Focus on the front line! ”

It was the late Fade, commander of the Eastern Defense Force. One of the Imperial Swordsmen, he didn't like the Special Forces.

The eastern border where the National Guard was stationed was the most intense war against the Tribal Union in the past.

After the alliance was formed, several of Fade's minions were unfairly purged.

“I don't know what's worthless. But, my lord, Imperial Rangers do not waste their troops. They're always running efficiently. ”

Ares replies. He shakes his head with a short sigh, but he knows what Fade calls "useless." It meant "Purge."

“So…… did you find out anything about the White Devil? ”

“We were able to verify some information. ”

“Tell me.”

Fade said that the nobles' gaze was focused on Ares.

“The intelligence gathered by spies who have infiltrated the Royal Society suggests that the White Devil is likely the SS class Hunter 'Kang Sung-jun’ who killed Rudel's Bird on Earth and thplace a stop to the plans of the Noble Order. ”

“The Hunter who speaks Raquel's Sword? ”

Fade asks. Ares nods instead.

“Hmm. I see. ”

Fade nods.

“Then, is Kang Sung-jun crossing dimensions? ”

Someone asked.

“Yes. If it's beyond dimensions, I can explain to you that the search party has found no trace. ”

Ares replies. The atmosphere is getting worse. Dimensional Movement Technology has been monopolized by alliances between the Empire and the Faction.

However, if what Ares says is true, then the time has come for us to cope with the attack not only on the Royal Alliance, but also on the other side.

“Isn't Kang Sung-jun a monster who prevented the assassination of a Special Assassin? ”

“Damn it!”

The advent of a new sword so hostile that even the nobles of the empire were shaken was fatal.

“Do you have a plan? ”

The Marquis of Anpelico. His mouth is firmly pressed against the shadow of the hooded figure.

“This is bad news, but the Special Forces can't afford to focus on the duc of Earth right now. Don't you all know that a long time ago, a dark assassin of the Royal Society began to attack? ”

The Dark Death Squad was the elite group of the Royal Society, specializing in assassination over the phantom corps of special forces.

“What are the League doing at this time.... ”

Fade grumbles. The Alliance didn't like the memory of a fierce battle in the past.

“You'd better watch your language. They're doing the best they can. ”

Jasper's gaze is sharp and he's united with his faction. Fade grips his teeth. Behind him were the nobles who hated the League. Against him, the nobles gather behind him.

“I don't think it's going to end like this. I'll be going now. Good work.”

As Fade makes his move first, the other nobles leave the conference room, along with the others who do not trust their alliance with the Tribe.

“You don't look so good. Did you have any problems?”

Fade's assistant carefully follows you out of the hall and asks.

“It happens all the time. ”

“I've prepared a wagon for the National Guard Command. ”

“No, I'm going there. ”

Fade said in a small voice. The deputy quickly looked around with a serious look.

“I will dispatch our replacements and attendants to the Battalion Command first. ”

Despite suspicious behavior, the deputy handled the work skillfully as if it had been done several times.

After the pair changed, they saw the replacements and attendants departing for the National Guard Command. And I headed there.

They even went down to the catacombs in the favelas in a small town just outside the Imperial Capital.

In the dark, several knights in old armor appear.

“Are you here?”

“How's everybody doing? ”

Fade seems to know them well.

“I'll take you inside. ”

“There's no need for that. We don't have a lot of time today... I just wanted to give you some urgent news. ”

Fade shakes his head at the words of the Knight with the highest position.

“Something urgent…? ”

“Yes. Tell the Liberation Commander. The sword of Rowkel's will has come again to the Empire. ”

* * *

Seong-jun, who experienced the attack dungeon, decided that it was more efficient to proceed with the guild members and gathered them together in the widest room of the mansion to disclose information.

“Are we all here? ”

Seong-jun searched the guild members in the room once. They were all gathered. Soon, he opened his mouth with a calm expression.

“Zero.”

He calms Zero in a calm voice. I wanted to do it myself at first, but I thought I'd leave the explanation to Zeros.

“Then…… let's begin the explanation. ”

Zeros, who was standing next to Seong-jun, stepped forward.

“I recently discovered a completely new type of dungeon. ”

“What type of dungeon are you talking about? ”

The person who asked the question was Shin-chul.

“Unlike traditional dungeons and Raids, we are crossing directly into the 'relay'. ”

“Yi Kyu...? Is there such a thing? ”

Zhang Hun said that the appearance of the dungeon and Raid raised Lee's head, but few denied it.

In fact, Zhang Hun was indifferent rather than denial.

“There it is. We can go over there and hunt things." ”

Zeros briefly explained. Jeongchul, who was listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“I wonder what this place is like. Is there any information?”

“Kang Sung-jun only found out that catching the boss will bring him back and that he can't get out of the dungeon. ”

Zeros replied. He didn't say anything because he concluded with Seong-jun that the detailed information about this world is not yet open to the guild members.

Zeros immediately finished his supplementary explanation, but no guild member asked a foolish question about whether to report it to the Dungeon Administration.

“Do you have any further questions? ”

No one raised their hands or asked questions. Seong-jun opened his mouth with a satisfied face.

“Good. We'll leave tomorrow. ”

During the few days, I captured two dungeons and filled the Dimensional Keys with enough magic.

Only the guild members were ready to open the Dimensional Gateway.

There was no objection, and the next day, Seong-jun went to the dungeon with the guild members.

There was a Class S dungeon with a scheduled attack. Insectivore plant shaped magic was primarily a jungle-shaped dungeon.

You slaughtered the boss and cleared the dungeon. Seong-jun, who finished the routing of the horseshoe and the item, took out the dimensional key.

“Is that it?”

Shin-cheol asked with a curious gaze. Seong-jun nodded his head and activated the dimensional key. Then the Dimensional Gateway opened.

“Oh! I feel something. ”

Zhang Hun said that others didn't express themselves, but he observed the dimensional gateway with a curious look.

“I'll go in first. ”

Seong-jun took the first step to set an example.

As he disappeared into the Dimensional Gateway, the other Road Guild members scrambled and threw themselves into the Dimensional Gateway. And they appeared in the 'second half’ they had never seen before.

“Welcome. It's your first time here, isn't it?”

I arrived first and welcomed the guild members who were waiting for me to arrive late.

Guild members had abundant experience hunting horses from across the world through dungeons or raids, but they had never been to the other side before, so they could not keep their mouths shut about the strange landscapes that seemed to be around them.

The Dimensional Gateway was open in a dense forest.

The tall trees that pierced the sky obscured their vision, and from the middle of the tree, mysterious shaped buildings were attached together like a spider.

- The Elven Nation.

Lischevald explained. The center of the mysterious forest is clearly an Elven military base.

“Coming. Get ready. ”

When Seong-jun finished speaking, he uttered the word "transformation." The ring has turned into a sword. And arrows rained down on their heads.
