Time slowly ticked away.
After four hours, all of the warriors who signed up stepped on the transfer array.
A purple light shone beneath their feet, and space started to distort. The transfer array had been activated.
While no one was noticing, Jack put his true energy into the nameless badge.
The badge shone immediately. The light condensed into a thin line and slowly circled Lourain. At the final moment,
the transfer array's light would surround everyone individually, sending everyone to a different spot
However, with that thin line, Lourain followed Jack the whole time!
After fifteen minutes passed, the distorted space finally settled down. After the scenery stabilized, the two of them
once again found themselves standing on solid ground. It felt gray and barren all around them. Even though there

Looking up, there was no blue sky or white clouds, there was only gray fog. They looked like dark clouds that had
been dispersed, floating in the air.
Lourain gulped subconsciously, feeling his body stiffen.
They were at the foot of a hill. There were some short trees sparsely littered around the place. They would
constantly hear the sounds of birds chirping. However, when they heard that, Lourain merely shuddered as a
strange feeling crawled up his body.
He sighed and said stiffly, "Jack, there are some animals, and there's water and even some trees. It has a lot more
life compared to Chaos City, but I feel like this place is far more terrifying than Chaos City."
They could clearly see signs of life around them. Even though it was not bursting with it, it was still better than
Chaos City. Yet, everything still felt strange to Lourain. If Jack was not next to him, he would have started
shuddering.
Jack quietly studies his surroundings.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "That's because the air of death here is much thicker than in Chaos City. It's not just
filled with murderous and cold energy, it's also filled with all sorts of chaotic energy flows. There should not be any
life here, but there is, so it feels incredibly off."
Lourain nodded earnestly, Jack woke him up!
That uncomfortable feeling came from the wrongness of it all. Everything around them felt wrong. It was all just
incredibly strange, which caused him to shudder.
Jack patted Lourain's shoulder, "Let's determine our direction first. After that, he'll head to the center. Have you
looked into what I asked you to?"

Lourain nodded, "I asked all I could. Demon kings won't appear in the outer regions. Even if we hurry up, we won't
be able to find where the demon kings are more active. Only after the battlefield shrinks three times, which is the
third day, will we be able to find nests of demon kings."
Saying that, Lourain pursed his lips.
There was just too much of a gulf between people. To warriors like him, looking into where demon kings were would
be to avoid stumbling into them, for risk of being ripped apart.
Yet, Jack was looking for demon kings because he wanted to rip the demon kings apart for rewards!
Jack frowned, "We'll have to wait for the third day?! It doesn't seem worth it to waste our time on moving. The
battlefield will shrink as time goes on anyway, and everyone who's still alive will be moved. We'll use the time for
the smaller demons then. They're still worth something.”
