*Bam*

*Boom*

The closer he got to the Warp Gate, the darker Redkros’s expression became.

It was because there was a constant roaring noise. In addition to Redkros, many demons were approaching the Warp Gate.

Normally someone would not be able to survive for that long, because he wouldn’t be able to keep casting spells when he gets attacked by all the demons.

However, Why the hell do spells keep appearing?

‘It’s at least three if they are going crazy casting spells like this…’

If you look at the number of times spells are cast, it’s probably not just one or two.

Redkros was expecting at least three people.

‘Even if there are only 10 people who can pass through the Warp Gate, 7 were able to cover them…’

After counting the number of people, Redkros frowned. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t understand it.

There are many demons there, but they can’t penetrate seven people and stop the wizards from casting spells?

O.O’

Redkros arrived near the Warp Gate and stopped walking.

‘Human?’

It was because of the person who came into sight.

A human was casting spells towards the demons around him.

‘Humans reached here?’

He knew that there were humans in the Amilleta Faction, but of course he thought that only demons would have come.

He never imagined that humans would have come. The problem was that only humans were in sight. The demons of the Amiletta Faction were nowhere to be seen.

‘Why can’t they stop him?’

He does not have strong vitality, just one hit and he will die.

He has no demons protecting him, so why couldn’t they stop him?

Redkros moved towards the human.

*Swoosh*

Then he narrowed the distance at once while punching.

The human could not react because of the speed.

Meanwhile, Redkros thought he could kill the human in an instant.

*Cling*

Of course, it didn’t take long for that thought to change.

‘A shield.’

His fists could not reach the human. There was a protective membrane shielding him.

‘Not a single crack?’

He may have a protective barrier because he is a Wizard. However, the fact that he did not see a single crack made Redkros panic.

Although he is inferior to High-Class Demons, Redkros’s physical abilities were not that weak; but they could not break the human’s protective shield.

*Swoosh*

The human turned his head, and Redkros was able to make eye contact with him.

[The quest ‘2nd Outpost’ has been created.]

When Soo Hyuk arrived at the outpost, a message appeared but did not have time to check it.

‘What, so many?’

It was because the number of demons near the Warp Gate was enormous.

If Outpost 1 was a village, Outpost 2 was like a city.

“What Is that?”

“A human?”

“Huh? Is that a human?”

“What is that magic?”

“That’s right, he exudes a very high purity of magic.”

When the demons saw Soo Hyuk, they started talking.

“Holy Shield.”

Soo Hyuk cast a shield first while listening to the conversations of the demons.

He did not have to worry about a magic attack, but only physical ones.

Moreover, demons are excellent at physical attacks. If he is attacked by numerous demons he may die.

“Fire Storm.”

Soo Hyuk then cast Firestorm.

*Swoosh*

As soon as the fire storm appeared, it began to eat the demons around it.

Because there are so many, the drop window was constantly updating.

Looking at the updated drop window, Soo Hyuk opened the quest window and checked the quest.

{2nd Outpost}

You have arrived at the 2nd Outpost of the Kyrad Faction in Area B.

Numerous demons are preparing to go out from the 2nd Outpost.

Stop the demons preparing to go out!

[Number of remaining demons: 7729]

Quest Reward: 200,000 Contribution

Soo Hyuk was surprised when he checked the quest.

It was a whopping 7729. It was a very different number from the last two outposts he had been to.

‘Is this the main base?’

Judging by the overwhelming number, it seemed that Outpost 2 was the main base.

*Clang*

At the sound in his ear, Soo Hyuk reflexively turned his head.

And he could see the demon with a bewildered expression near his protective shield.

Firestorms do not cover all directions.

It was in preparation for such a situation that Soo Hyuk cast a protective shield.

“Fire Spear.”

Soo Hyuk cast a Fire Spear towards the bewildered demons.

“Child of Darkness, Child of Darkness.”

Then he summoned the ‘Children of Darkness’ and gave orders.

“You two guard me, you two go around and kill demons.”

The two ‘Children of Darkness’, who were pointed out by Soo Hyuk, began to approach the surrounding demons, and the remaining two ‘Children of Darkness’ stood guard.

“Poison Spear, Dark Spear.”

Soo Hyuk thought while casting spells.

‘When should I message him?’

He was supposed to message Yeon Jeung, but he couldn’t.

No matter how many ‘Children of Darkness’ were escorting them, there were too many demons.

The probability of Yeon Jeung being killed by a blind attack was quite high.

‘I need to reduce their numbers first.’

After Soo Hyuk decided he sent a whisper to Yeon Jeung.

-Soo Hyuk: Wait a minute.

“Sigh”

Soo Hyuk shook his head.

It was because there was not even a simple answer of ‘yes’ from Yeon Jeung.

‘What are you doing?’

If he had seen the whispers, he would have surely replied. It seemed like he was doing something.

‘I don’t think I need escorts anymore.’

After checking the nearby situation. Soo Hyuk gave orders to the ‘Children of Darkness’.

“Go and kill the demons.”

The ‘Children of Darkness’ began to move toward the surrounding demons at his command.

It was then.

[Warning!]

[The commander of the 2nd Outpost and the commander of Area B, the Senior Demon Redkros, has appeared.]

A message appeared.

‘Commander!’

Soo Hyuk smiled broadly at the message.

Looking at the number of demons, he thought that Outpost 2 was the main base.

‘I will see the head right away.’

A commander who could be called the chief appeared there. Soo Hyuk looked around and started looking for him.

It was then.

*Clang*

At the sound he heard in his ear, Soo Hyuk reflexively turned his head to see where the sound was coming from.

There was a demon wearing a very luxurious armor, which was different from the armor of the demons he had seen so far.

It was the demon that smashed his shield. He looked and thought

‘He is really fast.’

He was so fast that Soo Hyuk wondered if he had used Blink.

‘If it wasn’t for the shield, it would have been a disaster.’

He did not know how much damage it would do but seeing him come in the blink of an eye, he must be strong.

‘But the armor…’

After checking the armor Soo Hyuk asked.

“Are you Redkros?”

The demon didn’t say anything. He just had a look of confusion.

‘I will find out if I kill him.’

“Hell Fire.”

Soo Hyuk cast Hell Fire, which he had been saving in case the boss monster appeared.

woosh*

Hell Fire appeared.

[The commander of the 2nd Outpost and the commander of Area B, Senior Demon Redkros, has died.]

A message appeared before less than three seconds had passed.

“Oh, Redkros-sama is dead!”

A demon who saw the death of Redkros exclaimed. Then there was a moment of silence.

Of course, the silence did not last long due to Soo Hyuk’s magic and ‘Children of Darkness’.

The demons who were moving to kill Soo Hyuk no longer approached. They slowly began to distance themselves from him.

It was obviously because of the death of Redkros.

It was then.

“Why are you running away!”

[Warning!]

[High-Class demon Aladdinos has appeared.]

A message appeared accompanied by a loud shot.

Soo Hyuk looked at the one who shouted. It was the largest demon he had ever seen.

“Flame.”

Soo Hyuk cast Flame on Aladdinos.

“What is so hard about taking care of a single huma..aww!”

Aladdinos let out a painful scream while he was screaming at the demons.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh*

Then the children of darkness arrived and attacked Aladdinos.

[High-Class Demon Aladdinos has died.]

After Soo Hyuk had easily killed the High-Class Demon Aladdinos, he turned his gaze to the other demons.

Is it because he had just killed Redkros and Aladdinos?

The demons who had been retreating slowly began to run away in earnest.

‘The demons are fleeing.’

Soo Hyuk thought, while looking at the demons retreating.

Balrogs and Demons are also alive. It was very different from the image he had drawn.

‘It has become really quiet.’

The Warp Gate, which was crowded with demons, was empty.

It was surprising that the situation could change like this by only killing two high-level demons.

-Soo Hyuk: Yeon Jeung.

Soo Hyuk sent a whisper to Yeon Jeung.

‘?”

But this time, there was no answer.

‘What?’

He cannot be driving, rather he was waiting for his call, so why didn’t Yeon Jeung reply?

‘Should I go?’

Soo Hyuk pondered whether to warp to Outpost 1 again.

Suddenly.

– Yeon Jeung: Sorry, sorry!

Whispers came from Yeon Jeung. And at his following words Soo Hyuk couldn’t help but be surprised.

-Yeon Jeung: I was having some battles with Intermediate-Class demons.

-Soo Hyuk: At the 1st Outpost?

A battle, but he already defeated all the demons at outpost 1.

-Yeon Jeung: Yes, they came here through the Warp Gate.

-Soo Hyuk: Oh, they came through the Warp Gate.

Soo Hyuk understood what happened. The Warp Gate belonged to the demons in the first place.

It is not unusual for demons to appear through Warp Gates.

-Yeon Jeung: Are you leaving now?

-Soo Hyuk: Yes.

Allard was fighting a High-Class demon of the Kyrad Faction Elogatan.

He traded punches with him.

*Bam*

The two fists clashed, and a huge sound erupted. Meanwhile, Allard and Elogatan took two steps back.

“Why don’t you just give up and run away?”

Elogatan said with a smile.

“Hey, do you think you can beat us with an attack like this?”

Allard snorted and ran to Elogatan again.

The situation wasn’t bad. There was a low number of demons attacking from the Kyrad Faction.

Even the demons remaining in the outposts could be blocked.

“You think that’s all?”

Elogatan said, avoiding Allard’s fist.

“You don’t think that’s all, do you?”

Allard continued to raise his fist in reply.

At that time, while they were fighting and exchanging words a trumpet sounded.

*Booooooooooo*

“See you next time!”

Elogatan retreated at the sound of the trumpet

It wasn’t just Elogatan, all the demons of the Kyrad Faction who were fighting retreated as well.

“What should we do?”

Haragan approached and asked whether to pursue them or not.

“Go back.”

However, they cannot pursue them though, as they do not have the upper hand.

“Yes.”

Haragan replied and started to gather his demons and returned to the base.

“Sigh”

Allard sat down and sighed deeply as he arrived at the tent.

Then he looked at the map and began to think about how the Kyrad Faction would attack, or how things would change.

Sometime later.

“Allard!”

Allard awakened from his thoughts at Haragan’s cry.

“Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung are coming from the Kyrad Faction direction!”

Allard jumped from his seat at those words.

“Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung?”

They were at Laneta Valley.

“Yes!”

Haraan nodded his head.

Allard got out of the tent and ran quickly to the east entrance.

And Allard could see Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung approaching in a wagon from afar.
