The Live

Since the early dawn, Yoon Jae was awake from his sleep.

I woke up soon and couldn't sleep anymore. The tension and expectations were mixed together, and my sleep quickly ran away.

The sun just came up in the morning.

Five men were gathered on the first floor of the Skyscraper Clan.

“Are you all packed? ”

“What do you have for me? All I had to do was prepare. ”

I looked around as if Kim Jin-seok asked if the norm isn't right. You nod to see if there's anything else for the others to take, too.

“Did you get your food bag? ”

Among them, Yoon Jae picked up a must-have item and asked.

Once the demons are in the camp, they don't know how to deal with the food. Maybe there's no food for humans to eat.

Such a bag of food was absolutely necessary. It was the only preparation.

“Here.”

Kim Jin-seok lifted up a small pocket the length of his forearm that was roughly tied to his back.

Infinite pouch. The most common item for sale in the White Top Clan.

“There's enough food in here for us to eat for a year? You have conservation skills? ”

“Pouches sold in the White Top Clan are priced according to volume and retention capacity. With a bag like this, you won't be able to live with 100,000 gold. ”

“Poetry, 100,000 gold? 100,000 Doubloons? ”

It was a mouth-watering amount. That was hundreds of times more expensive than the food inside.

“Well, it's not just food, it's expensive medicines. There are herbs to help you recover your magic. The Skyscrapers and the Alliance are doing everything they can to support us. ”

“Isn't that expensive? ”

“This is not worth the money. ”

Unlike the usual, surprised and excited, Elvin takes it for granted and nods.

Even if there was more support, it was nothing strange. Even if you have money and valuable items, if you don't get the Holy Grail, it all becomes meaningless.

“If there's nothing else to pack, let's get going. It's not a short trip. ”

Kim Jin-seok said so and quickly started moving. The destination was, of course, the Grand Mountain adjacent to Mellon.

The group crosses the gate and arrives in Mellon, soon arriving at the Grand Mountain adjacent to the Midlands.

At that time, Kim Jin-seok took a wide map out of his arms and showed it to everyone.

“Know the way, and if you ever get lost, find your own way. Well, they're not kids, but they're not lost. ”

Yun Jae looked closely at the map Kim Jin-seok spread out.

There was only one road marked on the map. The straight path leads to a large land.

“Is this the Devil's camp? ”

Yoon Jae points to a large land beyond the road.

Kim Jin-seok looked closely at the area Yoon Jae pointed at and nodded.

“Well, it's just a temporary painting. That's roughly the size of the faction we're in. ”

“Luckily, the road isn't that complicated. ”

“This isn't the only road. The paths created by the architects will point the way, but not the entire map. ”

In the beginning, the map of the middle region was not something you could make in a few days. The deep part of the intermediate region was dangerous to architects, and the length was too long.

“All the architects did was see where the demons were headed before the trail of Margie disappeared. The demons have always traveled the quickest way here. ”

“You mean it's not a finished map? ”

“You can't make a finished map. It might take a few more years for the architects to build it. ”

Even though the dragon disappeared, the intermediate region was still a dangerous area.

Only the top rankers, such as Kim Jin-seok and the first generation, among the current rankers, are not at risk there.

Agents were close to rankers as they needed to make maps of the intermediate regions.

But even such agents were difficult to operate in the middle.

‘Well, knowing the direction is enough. ’

As long as we know where the demons can go, we don't have to go anywhere complicated.

“From now on, we cross the road and head over to the Devil's camp. Well, you know what you have to do. ”

Kim Jin-seok said so and looked at Yun Jae.

“You lead the way. Got a rough location, right? ”

“We have to find it.”

I knew the clues to the location of the piece.

However, since they don't know anything about the Demon Faction, it is their responsibility to locate the pieces.

In the case of demons, I have crossed the road slowly, avoiding the eyes of dragons for a long time. Unlike them, none of them knew about the Demon Faction.

“After crossing the intermediate area, refrain from making any visible actions possible. When there is friction with the demons, we leave no survivors behind, and our trail is thoroughly erased. ”

Crossing the camp is like stepping into the middle of a giant enemy camp.

The two greatest enemies of the Demon King are dead, but many demons remain in the Devil's camp.

It was foolish to wage an endless guerrilla war with them. The key was to quietly retrieve the pieces and return.

“And most importantly, don't die. Especially Yoon Jae. You know that even if you die, finding the pieces won't mean anything, right? ”

“Of course.”

The pieces were not one.

Even if you retrieve one from the Demon Faction, there is still one left.

And to find it, Yoon Jae, who is the key, had to exist.

“Don't worry. Never, never……. ”

It's been over for a long time.

“I'm not going to die. ”

Pudding, food duck-

Kuaak, Kuaaak -!

A dragon-like monster.

A giant snake, a hundred metres long, has wings and a large tooth, and is crying out. The screaming snake immediately spread its wings to fly to the sky.

Shhh, Shhh...

Aaaaahhhh!

Blood spills out from the snake's stomach. A massive body of tens of meters floats in the sky and falls down.

Kung-

Glug, glug-

Intermittently, a huge snake shivers. Yoon Jae, who stopped his foot on the spilled blood, muttered, purging down the blood on the sword.

“I feel it every time I meet you, but it's one tough life. ”

“He's still alive with dozens of cuts. What can I do? You're still alive. ”

Normally, I looked at the corpse of the giant snake with the face of boredom.

At first, I was afraid that a real dragon appeared. The snake was ten meters thick enough to cover the sky, and its body was a hundred meters long.

Black snake.

Among the monsters living deep in the middle, it was the most dangerous species.

The black snake was strong enough to wipe out a team of architects in an instant. It was the most dangerous creature found in the middle of nowhere except the dragon.

“You said the black snake is a monster that rarely appears in the middle? I thought it was only twice now. ”

“That's how deep you've come. ”

The first time I met a black snake was ten days after I came into the middle of nowhere. The black snake, who had hardly met any architects, appeared once a day after that.

“Speaking of which, isn't it about time we got there? I think we've come a long way. ”

Regular people who were tired of fighting sat there and asked.

It was already a month since I entered the middle area and started moving.

It wasn't a normal gait move. He was quite a enforcer for ten days.

You did not return to the ice, but crossed the middle area in a straight line in the direction drawn on the map. I had no idea what the distance would be.

“This should be enough to get us across the Pacific. How big is it? ”

“I really don't think we have much left. ”

Royce sits on the floor for a moment and opens his mouth.

Regular asked, looking back at her.

“How do you know? ”

“I can feel Maggie, even though it's small in that direction. Well, maybe half a day from now. ”

Immediately after defeating the black snake, Royse detects the direction they're headed.

The traces of hundreds of thousands of demons crossing the path have already disappeared. Then, the traces of Margie were found, meaning that she had almost reached the land where the demons lived.

“What do you want me to do? ”

Yoon Jae asked Kim Jin-seok.

Most field judgments have been made by Kim Jin-seok since he entered the middle zone.

He was the longest man on the other side of the world, and he was one of the most talented men in the room.

When Yoon Jae asked, Kim Jin-seok thought for a moment and replied.

“Speed it up. Arrives before dark. ”
