At the end of the Feast of Weeks, Ian immediately returned to the town of Olives to find Ikael's house.
Ikael welcomes Ian back.
“Yes, I'm sure you're ready. ”
After confirming the symbol on Rye's forehead, he became satisfied.
“Yes. I think I've done everything I can. ”
Ian gives you a nod.
“Well done, Ian. Now I need you to teach me where Orville is. ”
Isaac takes a few moments, and Ian waits quietly for his next words.
His words continued.
“Orville is sealed at the top of the moonlight peak. ”
“The peak of the moonlight? ”
“Yes. The moonlight peak is at the southernmost point of the Porlas Plateau. ”
After a few moments, Michael opens his mouth again.
“Haven't you ever seen a peak so sharp that it can't be compared to other peaks? ”
“Well…. ”
Ian had a rough idea.
The Porlas Plateau was already geographical because of Harin's cooking ingredients.
‘The last time I went up with Harin, there was no way I came back... I think it's there.... ’
Of course, you could climb on the Griffin, but you just missed it because you had no reason to climb to the top.
“So you can get to Orville right away? ”
Michael shakes his head.
“No, it can't be. Wait a moment.”
After speaking, Michael takes out a small pebble with a faint light in its chest and gives it to Ian.
“Climb up to the peak in the middle of the clearing, and there's a small altar about your waist. If you insert this stone in the middle, it will break the barrier that hung all over the peak. ”
Ian takes the white pebble from Ikael.
What was unusual was that I could barely feel the weight on the pebbles.
“But is there a way up there? It won't be easy climbing up the wall. ”
Ian nods.
He had a pin.
“Yes, I have a solution, so don't worry about it. ”
“Okay, okay. ”
“By the way, is there anything you should be aware of? ”
“Hmm... Caution... ”
After a moment of thought, Michael replies.
“First of all, we have to go as fast as possible. ”
“Yes?”
Michael points to the sky.
It was evening, so I saw a round moon hanging in the middle sky.
“Because it's full moon in two days. By the full moon, all of Orville's abilities will be nearly doubled. ”
“… I see. ”
I'm sure it's a tough opponent to deal with, but it's doubling their stats.
‘I have to finish it before then. ’
Michael's words continue.
“But don't go right now, go tomorrow morning when the sun comes up. ”
“You seem to be getting stronger at night. ”
After Ian's guess, he nods.
“Yes. It's not that his abilities get stronger at night, but he has a unique ability that can only be used in the dark. Take care of the day as much as you can. ”
“What are those abilities? ”
“The ability to transform your whole body into a dark fog. When Orville goes dark, it nullifies 70% of all attacks. ”
“Ah…. ”
Ian grumbled in his heart when he heard it.
‘No matter how long it lasts... This is a fraudulent skill, right? I can't find it anywhere. I don't know... ’
After a few more notes, Ian moves towards the Forrest Plateau.
I didn't intend to deal with it right now, but I plan to go right ahead and log out and try it out in the morning.
'Orville or something, we'll catch him in no time. ’

“What? Festival? ”
“Yes, the festival. ”
“What does that have to do with me? ”
Seeing the truth staring at him with a curious face, Yoohyun became a ridiculous face.
“What do you care, man? Aren't you one of our students? ”
Jinsung was slightly frowned.
“Is that really necessary? I don't even have time for class right now, but I don't think I should go to class like that. ”
Yoohyun became embarrassed by Jinsung's complaint.
‘What should I do? I don't know about the others, but I have to involve the sincerity... ’
The festival lasted for three days, and there were several events, but there was only one event that required sincerity.
It's the second day of an E-sports competition.
In the E-sports competition, the awards and perks were fairly high based on the final scores to cover the top ten game categories.
‘Even if it's not a prize... the professors are expecting a lot... ’
Since it was the first year of fruition, professors wanted the festival to make their existence with virtual reality widely known to schools.
Yoohyun began to persuade Jinsung gradually.
“I have an e-sports competition on the second day of the festival, and if I win there, I'll get some scholarships for the next semester...”
It's been about a decade.
Jinsung promised to come to the festival only on the second day because of Yoohyun's long and persistent persuasion.
‘But the e-sports competition is a little interesting.... ’
As I explained, of the ten disciplines, including Kailan, there was not a single game that Jinsung had not played.
Jinsung also accepted Yoohyun's proposal to play games in his past memories for a long time.
After thinking about it carefully, I was also secretly excited.
* * *
“This should clear up the darkness, right? ”
As soon as the morning class was over, Ian hurried home and logged into Kailan, looking up at the sky once and muttering.
The time was about 11: 00 a.m., and the sun was already in the sky up to the mid thousand.
“Good.”
Ian first summoned Finn from the Summoners.
“Finn, summon! ”
Hiccup! Hiccup!
The summoned pin gladly flew in front of Ian.
Now that he's bigger than Ian, he can't sit on his shoulders, but Ian is still cute.
“Fina, take me up there. ”
Guk-!
As Ian climbs on his back, Finn carefully starts flapping his wings.
Pull- Pull-
Riding on Finn's back is still less skilled, but it was still more stable than before.
“Can you speed up Pina a little bit more? ”
According to Ian, Finn starts flapping his wings a little faster, as if waiting.
“Town!”
Ian quickly lowered into a tempestuous gust from the front.
‘Whew, Finn is starting to speed up so fast. ’
The wind blowing in the reverse direction is too strong, so I thought that if I did something wrong, I could fall just like that.
‘If you fall at this height, you will drop immediately.... ’
Ian looks around at his balance and aims to adapt to Finn's back.
And after a while, I was able to set my foot on a very high peak.
“It looks very sharp from the bottom... But it's a pretty spacious place up there. Thank goodness."
Ian had to summon a number of summons, but the narrower the space, the more disadvantageous he was.
Especially in a place like this that immediately drifts apart.
Ian summoned all the summoners.
Then you take the pebble you received from Ikael out of your arms.
‘This is the key to breaking the seal...? ’
Ian approaches the center of the void.
There was, as Ikael said, an altar of low height.
And as soon as he approached and checked on it, Ian knew exactly where the marble would go.
"Is this it?"
You place it in a small, circular groove, and it rolls into a spiral hole in the middle of the altar.
Grump-!
Ian is a little nervous as the machine sounds inside the altar.
But when nothing happened, I was embarrassed.
“Hmm…? ”
But then...
White light begins to seep out from the inside of the altar.
[The Dark Gate of Forlás is triggered.]
Whoo-hoo!
"What? Triggered, not decommissioned?" ’
Something was a little off, but Ian took a few steps back to check the system message.
“Prepare for battle...! ”
But the next moment.
An unexpected phenomenon began to occur.
Shh-shh-shh-shh!
Ian's feet began to split.
“What the hell...?! ”
And isn't the soaring peak beginning to collapse down?!
Kung-ku!
Ian had to cancel the cake stand first.
Lina Lake, Harley, etc. were able to avoid falling on crumbling rocks, but in the case of the cake table, they were too small and too big.
“Cake Tack Dismissed! ”
Ian hurriedly climbed onto Finn's back after he dismissed the loaf.
And I watched as the summoners roamed the collapsing altar.
If I thought I was going to crash by mistake, I was going to undo it right away.
Kuang - Kuang -!
As the great peak collapsed, enormous noises and dust clouds spread to all sides.
But Ian couldn't stay sober in the meantime.
‘With the seal lifted, Orville should appear somewhere...! ’
The situation is really fortunate to be able to ride on the back of the pin.
Ian eventually couldn't move as agile as Harlina Rai, so he had no choice but to call off the lake that fell through the rubble.
‘Phew, this is bad. I can't believe I have to fight Orville without making love to Lake... ’
And after about a dozen minutes?
The peaks that had all been crumbled, so that they could not even recognize their shape, became a huge pile of rocks.
“Finn, put me down. ”
Ian also climbs down on Finn's back and sets foot on a pile of rocks.
No, but when is Orville getting out? ’
But then...
Whoo-hoo!
A peculiar resonance echoes through the middle of the rubble, and an enormous beam of Borat light begins to be drawn in.
Kuaa-
‘ …?! ’
Ian stares blankly at the scene.
It was because the rays that were drawn from all around were like meteor showers.
The gathered beam of light gathered in the middle of a pile of rocks and formed a large sphere.
And a faint, dark shadow began to appear in the sphere of light.
‘Is that... Orville...? ’
Ian raises his eyes to confirm the identity of the dark shadow in the light.
The beam of light bursts into all directions with a huge bang.
Kuang -!!!
The explosion hit Ian and his summoners in succession.
[I was devastated. Reduces HP by 970.]
[I was devastated. Reduces HP by 1225.]
It wasn't much damage, but Ian frowns before the battle even began.
"Shit, what the hell?! ’
But that wasn't the end.
Oww!!
A colossal shadow rising from a pile of rocks.
Orville's roar echoes through the air, and shock waves erupt from all sides.
Phew!
[Dark Fenrir Orville uses his unique ability, Dark Emission.]
[Death by 6718 on Dark Release.]
Ian shouted without even knowing it.
“No, what is this crazy damage?! ”
Rye died in one shot.
Harley and Finn weren't as paper as Rye, so they still had more than half their lives left, but it was just a big one.
And finally, a line of system messages came to mind.
[The world, immersed in darkness.]
