The Live

After collecting the pieces across the road, the group gets some rest. Regular people fell asleep for a day, and Kim Jin-seok and Elvin also took a break without moving much.

Yoon Jae was the same.

I ate and slept. Then I got up and gradually looked at myself with magic. It was a kind of self-care to bring the body to its best, rather than a break.

‘It's not bad. ’

Cough-

Yoon Jae gave strength to the rolled fist.

I felt pretty comfortable. I had just closed my eyes and operated my magic naturally as if it were flowing.

At this rate, he was not in bad condition. I thought there might be some side effects of the reversal, but I almost recovered because I was relieved and focused on resting for a day.

Jubbuck-

Yoon Jae left the room with a bag that he had stored in advance. However, after opening the visit, a familiar face next to him was waiting.

“Where are you going? ”

It was normal.

As if I knew, he smiled and said.

“You told me everything. ”

“Mister?”

“Mr. Arhan. ”

“...... Are you calling them 'sir'? ”

“How many years older than we are. Then it's all you guys. ”

Regular looks, however, seemed to treat everything as uncle when they were much older than themselves.

Seeing the regular expression that everyone in the first generation called him, Yoon Jae seemed to be exhausted.

“I'm not taking you. ”

“I know. I would have told you if I was going to take you. ”

“Then why did you come? ”

“Goodbye. Don't get hurt. ”

In normal words, Yoon Jae couldn't say anything and stared at him. Regular asked with a curious face whether such a reaction of Yoon Jae was unexpected.

“Why aren't you talking? ”

“No, just……. ”

Yoon Jae tapped on the regular shoulder with a big smile.

“I want to grow up. ”

“Yes?”

“It's nothing. ”

Yoon Jae said so and passed by the normal side. I had a light step somewhere.

‘It's been three years. ’

They were almost three years behind the scenes.

It wasn't that long. But in the meantime, I felt like there was a lot going on.

It wasn't just a lot of cases. Turns out, people have changed a lot, too.

Unlike the young and frightened look when I first met the regular, I just felt quite adult.

‘Maybe I too……. ’

Must have changed a lot.

Weird feeling. It made me think a lot about what I felt like doing nothing. Yoon Jae headed straight for the devil's forest without encountering anyone that way.

The Demon Forest was able to reach it in a matter of hours if it moved quickly in Trump.

Same weather, same area, but the atmosphere changed quickly as we entered the entrance of the Demon Forest.

“It always feels dirty in here. ”

I spoke to myself in a eerie atmosphere. It was to change the atmosphere a bit.

Booth -

Jabbuck, bang...

I can feel the motion and footsteps from all over.

It wasn't that close. However, it was closing in on Yoon Jae from everywhere.

Monsters in the Devil's Forest.

Based on the footsteps and the number of individuals, it was the monsters commonly seen in the Forest of the Devil, the 'grasshoppers’.

These creatures crawl with giant mouths and two arms. They are not as big and agile as they look.

Even junior rankers are tough to deal with.

I've already been through this a long time ago, but there were a lot of them. Among the grasshoppers, he belonged to a large group.

I remember meeting them and struggling even when I first came into the devil's forest with my regular self.

But…….

“Your friends didn't tell you? ”

Self-

A red magical force flows from Yoon Jae's body.

The enchanted power that had become entangled in the chains began to spread out in all directions around Yoon Jae.

Yoon Jae deliberately sent magic, magic, and life to the grasshoppers who were approaching him.

“Humans are a little scary these days. ”

Pot, Papa-

Szk-

As the energy spilled, the pillars that felt from all around began to scatter.

The grasshoppers who were preparing to attack Yoon Jae, revealing their big mouths, began to flee.

They weren't the only ones.

The number of monsters in the Demon Forest that were not aware of Yoon Jae disappeared from Yoon Jae.

They were said to be monsters, but they were also creatures with the same instincts as animals. They instinctively realized that Yun Jae was not their prey.

The hyenas couldn't fight the dinosaurs, no matter how large the herd was.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

Yoon Jae continued to move with an energy spill.

It was not enough to use enough magic. It was enough to capture his presence in magical power.

Yoon Jae was just saying.

- I'm about this far.

It was not necessary to increase the size of the magical power. At this rate, dizzy monsters instinctively recognize the power of Yoon Jae and buy themselves.

Of course, there were some foolish monsters who didn't. As if there are some reckless, less-than-lethal Humans among them.

Qajik, shh!

Aaaaahhhh!

A handful of monsters rush at you, and you slash quickly. Yoon Jae didn't spare his strength when they attacked.

Rather, I cut it overwhelmingly, trying to overdo it.

‘I can't help but lure more of these guys. ’

If you show weakness, you bite. It was a common habit with most monsters.

On the contrary, it meant that those who have overwhelming power do not come easily. In that way, Yoon Jae was confused by the monsters.

Looks small and weak on the outside. But the energy and existence that flows is enormous.

It is confusing whether it is weak or strong. That's why I'm risking my life to find out. It was foolish to risk your life to satisfy your curiosity.

At this time, the perception that they are not stronger than they think makes them more aggressive. In that regard, their ecosystem was no different from that of the human world.

‘That should do it. ’

Wait, wait, wait.

One knife at a time.

Yoon Jae cut off the tens of bushes that appeared in front of him and began to walk again.

It was a relaxed walk, just like when they first showed up.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Deep into the forest, the dead start to weep.

It was much less crying than before. Probably because the number of the dead has decreased considerably in the fight with Satan.

‘You recognize me. ’

The dead were on guard against Yoon Jae.

No, I was afraid, actually.

Yun Jae was the one who killed Satan.

When Satan came here, the dead of the Demon Forest took him as their king. However, after killing such a king, it was also natural to avoid Yoon Jae.

I stuffed my memory and moved on. Yoon Jae moved relentlessly until the day came.

There were no more monsters or dead bodies attacking Yoon Jae who revealed their existence once.

Compared to when I first entered the devil's forest, it was completely bloodless.

Tuk-

I arrived at my destination earlier than I thought It was thanks to knowing the way ahead and not getting in the way.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrr

Auowowowow-

There are many kinds of monsters and dead around the entrance to the dungeon. They look away at Yoon Jae approaching the entrance of the dungeon, growling or crying.

“Get lost. ”

Passe-

The energy that had flowed from Yoon Jae's body was amplified and spread out more widely. Monsters that were surrounded by the life-saving energy spread back into the area.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

Yoon Jae sees that all the monsters that were gathering around her disappeared and starts down the stairs leading into the dungeon.

The pace was not so fast. Yoon Jae walked slowly into the dungeon without hurrying.

You make your way down the stairs, past the first and second doors.

Across the large cavity at the bottom of the stairs, a wide stretch of road emerges next. There were bloodstains in the path.

‘There was a fight here. ’

It was quite a fight.

The blood was hardened, but even when it was first sprinkled, this place would have been a mess.

More than a hundred people died if I couldn't.

‘Maybe……. ’

It wasn't a fight with the monsters.

The battle between angels and humans.

The architects and their men who were exploring the dungeon were killed fighting the angels here.

“Huh?"

At that moment, Yoon Jae's eyes were filled with a huge corpse lying between the forks.

My pace naturally sped up. As I approached, the corpse was larger.

It was about the same size as Baloch.

Is this the gatekeeper? ’

A two-legged Cyclops.

It was more of a human form than a demon. Yoon Jae glanced at his corpse for a moment and walked to the right of the path.

‘We passed through here. ’

Like any dungeon, this place was made up of complex mazes. The trail of battle remains clear, whether there were monsters in the middle.

Thanks to that trace, Yoon Jae was able to move without getting lost in the way. Following that trail for a long time, you find a dead end.

Bump-

Yoon Jae stopped walking in front of a dead end. I had nowhere else to go, so I had to go back.

But…….

“I don't even treat guests? ”

Yoon Jae opened his mouth, looking up at the high ceiling. The voice echoes down as it hits the ceiling.

Around the time the echo that echoed disappeared.

Whoo-hoo!

The surrounding landscape is turned upside down and begins to blend. The landscape turned white and colorless again, and a completely different landscape appeared.

The ceiling of the cave, which was hard and unsightly, turned into a smooth marble ceiling and was covered with white and clean wallpaper all around.

It was a place similar to the great temple I had just seen.

“What kind of treatment do you want? ”

Voices coming from behind.

Yoon Jae turned his head, not embarrassed. There stood a man of great size, like the Arian.

The man who covered himself with a thin white cloth looked like a god. The atmosphere and energy were similar to that of the Aryan.

“At least I didn't come all this way to be ignored. ”

“Is that the Human Key? This is the next generation of Zahar. ”

“I'm Kim Yun-jae. ”

“Never mind the name. What do you want? I don't have what you want. ”

“I'm not here for the sculpture. because it's already gone to the angels. ”

“You didn't come here for a picnic... do you want something else? ”

“Yes.”

Yoon Jae glanced at the face of a man twice his size.

“Would you like to hear it? ”

* * *

After the angels' raid, the eleven thousand who were still unconscious opened their eyes for quite a long time.

I barely made it back from the near-death ordeal a few times. A hundred thousand body conditions were among the worst.

The reason he was able to survive was because of the daily adherence of those who were regarded throughout the inner world in the recovery family.

“Are you awake now? ”

“Why are you looking at me as soon as you wake up? ”

Hundreds of thousands looked ridiculous looking at Kim Jin-seok sitting next to the bed. Kim Jin-seok, who was sitting with one book open, nodded.

“I see you're doing well. ”

“When did you get back? ”

“It's been two days. ”

“How messed up have I been? ”

“A little over ten days? I heard you got beaten up.”

“Aha. Arhan, that cheap-mouthed guy.... ”

Hundreds of thousands muttered indignantly, covering their faces with their hands.

I had already been asleep for more than ten days, so my pride was pretty bad.

I could make fun of it, but Kim Jin-seok had no intention of doing so. Rather, it was a compliment.

“To be alive is to forgive. If you said you'd fight for nothing, you wouldn't be here right now. ”

“Are you crazy? I'll fight them myself. You can't do that. ”

“I know. I've met him.”

“You've met him? ”

Kim Jin-seok told Eleven thousand surprised expressions what had happened. A hundred thousand listened to the story and asked with a serious face.

“Really? Lost? ”

“Yes."

“I've never heard of your defeat...... but Michael seems to have gotten pretty strong. ”

There were many surprising stories.

But the thing that surprised me the most was the defeat of Kim Jin-seok.

Kim Jin-seok and Arhan have known each other for more than a hundred thousand years. In over 20 years, Kim Jin-seok has never been defeated by anyone.

“Countess, I have a favor to ask you. ”

“Please? You? To me?"

The Hundred Thousand looked at Kim Jin-seok with a surprised look again.

On his face he said, "Did he eat something wrong? ’It was written. So far, Kim Jin-seok has never asked 100,000.

Kim Jin-seok looked at him dazed for a while, frowning and asking.

“What's the matter? ”

“It's just... awkward. ”

“Awkward?”

“No, it's nothing. But you didn't come here because you were worried about me? Did you come here to ask me that? ”

“It's a double.”

In response, a hundred thousand sighed with a grim expression.

“Friends like this... ”

“... I'm here because I'm worried. ”

“Enough. It's disgusting. Stop it. What are you gonna say with that look on your face? ”

Hundreds of thousands changed their faces as if they were a joke and laughed in relief. Kim Jin-seok noticed that he was making fun of himself and gritted his eyes a little louder.

In the atmosphere of Kim Jin-seok, I wiped the smile off his mouth and asked.

“Do me a favor? ”

“I want you to make me an item. ”

“Item? Didn't you say you didn't need that before? ”

High-ranking items were a big weapon for those involved.

In particular, items of grade A or higher took that person's level several steps up by themselves.

Nevertheless, Kim Jin-seok did not pay any attention to the good items. It was said to be a friend, but it was the opposite of a thousand.

“I thought I didn't need it more than I didn't need it. That's how I set my limits. ”

“I mean, I barely gave you the sword, and you don't usually carry it around. ”

A sword carried by Kim Jin-seok.

It was a gift made by a hundred thousand years ago.

It was an A-rank item that belonged to a pretty good class. Even though the numbers aren't closely numbered, it's obvious that even the top rankers are hard to get their hands on.

“I've struggled to make that up to your taste. There are rare items that are loyal to the basics that are good and not capable. ”

Kim Jin-seok's ability was fundamental.

Overwhelming magical power, the control of its magic, and its ability to handle swords.

That was the ability of Kim Jin-seok.

Kim Jin-seok did not stop to polish his own skills, even though he had a unique skill.

He had long thought that the item would be a kind of obstacle to breaking his limits.

That is why the Hundred Thousand gave him items that were faithful to the basic power of the sword, cutting power and strength.

“But I don't think it's the right time for that anymore. ”

“…… I guess defeat was quite shocking? ”

“Yes, and now it's a dead end. ”

“Is there an item you want? ”

“Items that can resist fire. It doesn't matter what shape it is. Whatever it is, it needs items that are least affected by its fire. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Michael the Archangel.

His other name was Angel of Chloride. The fire he dealt with was several times hotter than Pluton's fear of hell.

A hundred thousand also knew about Michael roughly. Of course, not as much as Kim Jin-seok, but the image that came to my mind was quite specific.

“It's not going to be easy. ”

The presence that defeated Kim Jin-seok.

If you have enough items to resist the fire that Michael is dealing with, you must be at least A +.

Crafting an item like that will take longer than anything else, as well as the difficult materials that go into it.

Seek-

Rather, Kim Jin-seok's request made the eleven thousand joyful.

“That sounds like fun, though. ”

It was a great joy for a thousand people to have something to target. Moreover, I was more motivated because it was Kim Jin-seok's request for the first time.

Kim Jin-seok thanked me while feeling ironic, after making a cheerful face to a request that he thought would be as difficult as possible.

‘I'm glad my friend is crazy. ’
