The Live

The night was deep and it was dawn.

And soon the morning dawned.

Until then, Yoon Jae did not rest. I didn't even know I was tired to rest.

The concentration does not increase to the maximum.

Yoon Jae who was wielding the sword all the time just came to his senses thanks to the regular descent.

“Are you still doing this? ”

Yoon Jae, who was covered in sweat, turned his head in the direction of his voice.

The sound of wielding the sword and the sound of feet stepping on the ground was the first voice heard in the cavity.

“Cough, cough! Wow, look at the dust. I really can't use this place anymore. ”

“Why are you here? I thought you weren't coming.”

Yoon Jae lowered his sword for a moment and wiped the sweat off his face with his back of his hand. I felt sweaty and heavy, but not particularly bad.

“I came because my brother's not in the room. Just in case."

“Of course not. I told you, I need to stop here for a second. ”

“Why are you talking about yesterday now? ”

“Yesterday? ”

Yoon Jae wanted to hear something normal.

Soon after, I asked her with a voice that she couldn't believe.

“That was yesterday? ”

“Yes. Oh, my brother... ”

Surprised, I quickly blinked a few times, as if it were normal. Then I made a frowning face.

“You've been doing that since yesterday? ”

“I... think so. ”

“I was wondering where I'd been since morning.... ”

Oh my god. Regular people stare at Yun Jae with their tongues as if they were poisonous.

However, it was Yoon Jae who was even more shocked.

‘It seemed less than an hour……. ’

I was ecstatic and had no idea where the time had gone.

‘Well, you can't be this tired from moving around for an hour. ’

It doesn't make sense that you're tired enough to wield a sword.

He didn't use magic. He wielded his sword purely.

As I woke up right now, my body felt heavy. It was because he was swinging his sword all night long without rest.

“Elvin asked me to meet him just after lunch. Not so long ago, you said you wanted to talk now. ”

“Lunch?”

“We don't have much time. Let's go up and eat and get some shut-eye. ”

On a regular note, Yoon Jae thought for a moment and nodded.

There was still a lot of time ahead anyway. It was not enough. Tonight or tomorrow, we could start over and finish it.

‘I need to wash up first. ’

It felt like my whole body was sweating. I didn't really need to sleep, but I suddenly felt the urge to clean up and make eye contact.

Shroud-

Valtrix makes his way into the Black Forge slip with a pleasant twist. Your body is heavy, but your feet seem to be lighter than before.

“Let's go.”

* * *

Yoon Jae first washed up and threw himself directly onto the bed.

I didn't know because I was unconscious, but my whole body became limp after washing my body and relaxing.

After closing his eyes for a moment, Yoon Jae woke up and looked out the window at the sun.

The sun was almost in the sky. I tried to close my eyes for an hour or two, but it was a long nap.

“Are you awake?”

You hear a familiar voice outside the door. Thump, the door opens and three people come inside.

Elvin and Lois were normal.

“When did you get here? ”

“About an hour ago. ”

“Wake me up.”

“I slept so hard. This one dried up. ”

Elvin says so, pointing to the norm that followed.

“You said you swung your sword in the joint all night. How are you, studying? ”

“I learned a lot thanks to you. ”

Yoon Jae hurriedly gets out of bed and heads down toward Elvin. He fought Siffman to show himself by abandoning Muhammad's blood.

“See and steal. That's your gift. In fact, most morons who can't take it even if they give it to me. ”

Most people will fight depending on their stats, skills, and items.

But those who were higher rankers, commonly referred to as rankers, showed more than just fighting. The method differed from person to person, and each color was present.

Teaching was not all you could learn. It was an individual's ability to see it and to know where to get it.

“What, what? What else did you teach him that I didn't know? ”

However, the normal person who did not know that turned his head and looked away from Elvin and Yoon Jae.

The only thing I had to do was lose my mind while Elvin was fighting Siffman.

“Let's go out and eat. Just talk about what you couldn't do. ”

Elvin ignored such a regular reaction.

If I wanted to teach in the first place, I could not teach. Those who are as strong as Siffman can't show their true colors without facing a life-changing battle.

Thinking that he was ignored, he turned to the wall, grumbling and crying.

Yoon Jae said as if such a regular reaction is interesting.

“I'll be ready in a moment. ”

Yoon Jae quickly trimmed his hair and changed his clothes. As soon as someone was waiting, I was ready too.

Yoon Jae and Jeong followed Elvin and Royce to the restaurant on the first floor. The restaurant was divided into compartments, with a fairly spacious room on the inside.

“Wow, it's great to be here. Spacious, glamorous. ”

“You are now a valued guest of the Skyscraper Clan. This is how it should be treated. ”

Lois smiled and said to a regular looking inside the restaurant, shaking his head.

“I'm still hungry, actually. Now I covet you not just the two of us, but the Skyscraper clan and most of the five. ”

“Us?”

“Yes. When it was first known as the Skyscraper clan's spa, everyone wondered, but now it's been proven. Who in the world would catch Geoffrey? ”

Yoon Jae and the regular were the first to announce their names as informants about the seeds.

But it was far from proof of his skills. Information was something you could get lucky with.

But since then, capturing Geoffrey in the war against the Murder Clan has been completely different.

It was a testament to certain skills.

Though not quite what you'd call a ranker, Jeffrey still belonged to a well-known talent in the Murder Clan.

It was quite a topic to catch Jeffrey and the two new men who were in the Skyscraper clan's spa.

‘No, that's not all. ’

Unknown, but Yoon Jae and the regular man hurt Herald Siffman.

And that was probably a story that would never be known.

‘No one will believe it. ’

Siffman was not Jeffrey's strong suit.

Right now, there are a lot of people questioning the fact that two new people have Jeffrey.

In a situation like that, you even survived another drink and hurt Siffman?

The unbeliever will have a placenta.

Maybe they think they're making up rumors about the Skyscraper clan to make up their spare space.

“Everywhere you go now, you deserve this. Right now, any clan would welcome you both, and in a few years' time, that would add up. ”

A new person who is sure to have skills called a ranker.

With such jewelry, it is no surprise that even the Five Clans have broken the precedent and given full support as a clan's spa.

Like Elvin.

“Stop whining and sit down. My leg hurts.”

“I told you to stay in bed. ”

“I said it's all healed. ”

Elvin shrugs and ignores Royse's words lightly. Then I went into the prepared room and sat in the innermost seat.

On a large dining table, there were already many foods. A salad with soup followed by starter meat, and a sweet and sour drink.

The food after that also felt luxurious. It looked more like a treat than a taste.

Throughout the meal, the conversation focused on the two of you, Regular and Lois. Basically, Yoon Jae or Elvin were not very talkative.

The conversation was mostly about a small number of topics. At the end of the meal, Elvin lowers his spoon and asks.

“Does it suit your taste? ”

“Yes, thanks to you. ”

“I've never tasted anything like this before. The food keeps coming out. ”

Even in the original world, a regular college student never had to eat the food coming out of the course.

After going to the other side, this luxurious meal was unimaginable.

When I was outside the city, I ate with several pieces of dry food, and most of my meals were bread and soup in the city.

“There's no need to make such a fuss. The piglets up there eat it every day. ”

“Pigs…? ”

“An executive of five clans or a master of a large clan. Like this. ”

I felt hostility in Elvin's voice.

Suddenly, the dining area was heavier because of the low, frustrated voice.

Royse looks at that look on Elvin's face and opens her mouth.

“Please understand. He's so frustrated with this kind of thing. ”

“What do you mean by pig? ”

Yoon Jae wanted to hear Elvin's thoughts.

There must be a reason why he has such hostility towards his superiors.

“Those pigs who sit around and take care of themselves and have all the fun. The people downstairs who are sacrificed because of him don't think at all. ”

“Are you saying you've settled down? ”

“There must be someone who thinks this is better than the world. There's only one old screw in society in that world, and it's the one that holds the power in this world. ”

Tak, Tak -

Elvin taps the table a few times with a spoon.

“The same is true of these meals. The hand holding the wallet will tremble if you want to eat it once. But this way, it's everyday. But if we go back that way, we won't have any more of this. ”

“…… Does Elvin know how to get back? ”

Regular asked with a serious face.

The fist on the table trembles. It was a question of being so nervous.

Elvin looks at the regular face for a moment and nods slightly.

“I'm not sure. ”

“It doesn't matter, please tell us. ”

“…… the story is leaking in a different direction. ”

“I have a lot of time. ”

“Do you think I'm like you? ”

Elvin taps his head with one hand and opens his mouth.

“To talk about it, first I need to know what the other side of the world looks like……. ”

“I'm aware of that. ”

Yoon Jae took Elvin's word for it.

“Angels and demons and humans. The tribal wars of these three factions. ”

“Well, that doesn't make it look like much, but it's true. ”

The three great lands that divide the world behind us.

The three factions that were separated into the high mountains, which were touching the sky, were living in different factions.

Angels of absolute good, demons of absolute evil, and neutral humans.

Since when did they exist on this continent, and since when has it been recorded?

It was also a part of the world that the inhabitants of the other side were not aware of.

“Then what are we fighting for, do you know that? ”

Elvin thought he would not know, and asked.

But...

“I know. ”

“... You know? ”

Yoon Jae's answer was the opposite of what he expected.

“Something called Holy Grail. Isn't that what you're trying to get? ”

“…… how do you know that? ”

“I found records in Murder Clan's warehouse. And in the process, I learned about the Holy Grail. ”

It was a lie that didn't stick needles in my mouth.

Elvin looks at Yun Jae with a suspicious face.

But I didn't dig it up straight. If Murder was a Clan warehouse, there's a good chance there's a record of that.

Of course, it was from the diary that Yoon Jae learned about the Holy Grail.

Was it really…? ’

The previous words were also somewhat overstated.

Yoon Jae still didn't know how to get the Holy Grail.

I just knew it was the key to seeing my family again.

“How far has it been written? ”

“There were no details. ”

“Tell me anyway. ”

“Angels, demons, humans. A treasure all this power seeks to possess. The cornerstone of the world behind the scenes. ”

Yoon Jae's voice gradually grew.

“And... the only treasure in the world that can do wonders like injustice. ”

After finishing speaking, Yoon Jae closed his eyes.

And within the eyelids that opened momentarily more heavily than ever before, his eyes were facing Elvin. Even Elvin in the world was heavy enough to shrink for a moment.

“How do you get it, the Holy Grail? ”

Holy Grail.

Since the beginning of the story related to it, Yoon Jae's heart was shaken with a stir.

If I get it, I can see my wife and daughter again. We can go back to the way things were.

It was not that important to Yoon Jae other than leaving the world behind. It became clear that there was something called the Holy Grail, and it was important that there was a clue about it.

Seeing Yoon Jae like that, Elvin said.

“Don't look at me like that. I would have gotten it a long time ago if I knew it so easily. ”

“ ……. ”

Yoon Jae listened to what he said. I returned shortly after my excitement.

Seeing Yoon Jae quickly reaffirming his feelings, Elvin opened his eyes.

Elvin, who cared about his words for a while, began to talk again.

“We don't know what the Holy Grail is, or exactly what kind of power it has. No, nobody knows that. All we know is that angels and demons are fighting for it. ”

“I don't know what it is, but do I need to get it? ”

The regular asked curiously.

He didn't know anything about the Holy Grail. Not only did he not know what it looked like, but he had no idea what the symbolic significance of it was.

“We need to get it. That's all the clue you need to get back into the world. ”

“The Holy Grail is a clue? ”

“Have you ever asked yourself why we came here? ”

Elvin turned to Yoon Jae and asked.

The two of them did not answer the question immediately.

In particular, Yoon Jae never considered the most fundamental question.

It was because he was full of thoughts of seeing his family again.

“You don't seem to have thought this through since you can't answer. Or even if I thought about it, I didn't get the right answer. ”

“Does Elvin know the answer? ”

“Like I said, there's no certainty anywhere. There's just an interpretation from a lot of the top people. ”

“What's that? ”

“A world where the Three Nations conflict. What do you think we should do here? ”

It was a simple, pointless question.

Yoon Jae immediately replied.

“Holy Spirit……. ”

“That's right.”

It was just a guess, but it was fairly reliable.

“War for the Holy Grail. If that's the purpose of the world, what's the end of it? ”

It didn't matter what the Holy Grail was or what power it had.

The important thing is, why should we get the item? As long as the Holy Grail is the only clue that can go back to the original world, it must not be missed.

“It's not easy. ”

“It hasn't been over for at least a hundred years. No, actually, it hasn't even started. ”

The three forces have long been vigilant in the middle, taking no action.

Since each other was an enemy situation, they faced each other, growling or fighting. But there were no great battles to fight.

It was a scissor fight.

Since there are three forces, if one side fights the other and becomes weak, the other will be eaten.

The Holy Grail has not been handed over to any tribe because of the long sighted fight.

In fact, the situation was closer to a truce than a war.

After a long time, the object called the Holy Grail became a record.

Some of the above mentioned that the Holy Grail itself was a trap created by the devil or an angel.

“It is clear, however, that the Holy Grail is the key to going back, including myself. Apart from being in tune with this, well, that's what you think. ”

“Holy Grail.... ”

Regular said the word Holy Grail in his mouth several times as if he would never forget the name.

Yoon Jae, who heard about the Holy Grail in the unexpected place, thought about something for a moment and said.

“But that's strange. ”

“What is it? ”

“Didn't you say the war hasn't even begun? ”

“Why is that? ”

“What's going on lately is unusual to me. ”

At Yun Jae's words, Elvin asked me to keep going.

Yoon Jae glanced at him and Royse, then continued to speak.

“I told you. Not long ago, I met a demon in a dungeon in the catacombs of Garrian. ”

The Devil was not an easy creature to meet. Among the top people who had lived in the underworld for almost a decade now, even those who had never seen the devil were crushed.

“Is this so common? A city where humans live, where demons live. in addition to being planted with trees, even with devil seeds, ”

The devil's tree was not one.

It's unusual, but there's a rumor going around that demons are growing one by one in every city.

But it was a story on a land where demons lived all along.

At least the presence of the devil with the devil is a different situation than before.

“It's not uncommon. At least if we encounter the devil in person, it's only in the Neutral Zone. ”

The Neutral Zone meant a frontier land where angels, demons, humans, and neither of them lived.

In a way, it was similar to the field that exists between each city and the city. However, most of the intermediate region was occupied by monsters that even the highest ranks could not easily cope with.

And the place where the angels and demons faced each other was only in the middle.

It was unprecedented that the Devil appeared directly to the land where humans live.

“This is how the story ends. ”

“Yes?”

“You said you had something to say, right? ”

According to Elvin, Yoon Jae nods.

While talking about the Holy Grail, the words went in a slightly different direction, but it seemed to have flowed that way.

“I heard a funny story this time. I thought you deserved to hear it because you found and killed the devil. ”

“What's the story? ”

“The purpose of the Murder Clan. ”

Elvin's eyes narrow.

“You want to know?”

Yoon Jae's eyes shook small when she asked.

Elvin soon answered his question, as if he wasn't asking for an answer.

“The cultivation of demons through the seed of evil. ”

Elvin's answer was so obvious.

But what followed was more shocking than obvious.

“And through it, demonization of the entire human race. Their purpose was not simply to cultivate demons within the Murder Clan. That was just the beginning. ”

“Demonization of man? Why is that……. ”

Regularly, when my head became complicated, I immediately silenced the questions that I had asked without knowing.

If you think about it, it was a simple story. What good would it be for all of us, or for most of us, to be cultivated as demons?

“The Murder Clan has teamed up with the Demons. So far, you've probably noticed.... ”

Elvin's eyes narrow.

“The point is, they're starting to move. ”
