“But do you know where the outpost is?” 

Yeon Jeung asked while driving the wagon. 

“I don’t know.”

Soo Hyuk shook his head.

“It’s all the territory of the Kyrad Faction  anyway.”

He did not know but it did not matter.

Anyway, except for a very small part, Area B was the territory of the Kyrad Faction .

The demons that they will meet after crossing the valley will all be Kyrad demons.

It was also distinguishable by armor. It was because the demons of the Kyrad Faction  wore red armor, and the demons of the Amiletta Faction  wore blue armor.

As they talked like that, the wagon continued moving until Yeon Jeung stopped suddenly.

“There.”

Yeon Jeung pointed forward. There was a barricade. Demons wearing red armor were at the entrance.

“Is that the right place?”

“Yea.”

Soo Hyuk nodded his head in response to Yeon Jeung question.

It was clearly the outpost. Of course, it is not the main camp. It has not been long since they crossed the valley and entered the realm of the Kyrad Faction . There is no way the main camp could be this close. It must be one of many outposts.

‘If there is a Warp Gate…’

What if there is a connected Warp Gate? It would be easy to wipe out the demons of the Kyrad Faction  in Area B through warping.

“Are you going to face them head on this time as well? Or are you going to destroy the barricade secretly?”

Soo Hyuk replied with a smirk.

“Head on.”

“Ha”

Demon Alomian of the Kyrad Faction  took a deep breath.

“What is it?”

Zarumon, who was standing on the border with him, asked. At Zarumon’s question, Alomian answered with a bitter expression.

“It is so boring.”

The reason Alomian sighed was because his situation, standing on the border, was so bleak and boring.

“I can fight well.”

At the base, numerous demons were preparing to go out to completely take over Area B. It was a great opportunity to build achievements through battle, but it was so unfair that he had to stand guard.

“Sigh.”

Alomian sighed once more.

It was then that Zarumon narrowed his brow. It was not because of Alomian’s lament about his condition.

‘What is that?’

Something was approaching at high speed from the front.

‘Wagon?’

It was the shape of a wagon. No, it was clearly a wagon.  As the wagon drew closer, Zarumon could not help but be surprised. It was because of the people within the wagon.

‘Humans?’

Thirty years ago, Zarumon was briefly summoned to the Middle World by a warlock. And he saw countless human beings.

The two beings in the carriage now were clearly humans.

‘Huh, how long ago was that?’

Surprised by the appearance of a human he had not seen in a long time, Zarumon hurriedly called for Alomian.

“Hey.”

“What?”

Unable to see the wagon approaching from the front, Alomian answered Zarumon’s call with a hoarse voice, as he was still bowing his head.

“That…”

“?”

However, in Zarumon’s subsequent words or lack thereof, Alomian was puzzled. It was because Zarumon stopped talking and remained silent.

‘Why is it so hot?’

And he could feel the heat next to him. Alomian looked at Zarumon with a sloppy expression.

O.O”

And the look on Alomian’s face when he saw Zarumon was full of astonishment and confusion.

It was because Zarumon was on fire.

‘What?’

What suddenly happened? Alomian hurriedly looked around. Then he saw a wagon.

‘A spear?’

He could see the green spear approaching him at high speed. He had no chance to dodge.

Alomian then raised his left arm to block the green spear, and with his right arm slammed the bell next to him.

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*

A great sound rang out.

*Boom*

And at the same time, the green spear exploded at Alomian’s arm.

‘Liquid?’

Alomian was perplexed. It was because the green spear had turned into a liquid.

The green spear that had turned into a liquid attacked Alromian’s body.

‘Uh.’

And that was the last thought Alomian had before he lost his consciousness.

______

*Ding* *Ding* *Ding*

“?”

The commander of the 5th Outpost, the High-Class Demon Komon, tilted his head at the sound of the bell.

Komon was not the only one who was puzzled.

The faces of the numerous demons standing in line in front of Komon were full of puzzlement as well. Because it was the bell that rang only when an enemy appeared.

‘Maybe by mistake?’

Komon thought.

Wasn’t the bell ringing by mistake?

Because, in the current situation there is no way for an enemy to invade.

The last war in Area B was on the brink. The enemy that should focus on defense is attacking.

And avoided the outpost ahead of them?

‘They need to take their duties seriously.’

Komon’s thoughts were very much inclined towards it being the guard’s mistake.

“Ramidas.”

But he had to confirm it. Komon called his lieutenant Ramidas.

“Yes.”

“Go check it out.”

“Roger!”

Ramidas responded to Komon’s words. Then quickly ran to the west entrance where the bell rang.

Sometime later.

“Komon-sama!”

Ramidas is back.

“?”

Komon was puzzled because he heard some urgency in Ramidas’ voice.

Komon was in the midst of explaining the operation to the demons to raise morale then raised his head, he saw that Ramidas expression was more urgent than he expected.

‘Surely…’

There was only one reason for Ramidas to make such an urgent expression.

‘It was not a mistake?’

It was clear that an intruder had appeared.

It was then that Ramiadas exclaimed.

“An enemy has appeared!”

As Komon expected an enemy had appeared. 

Tension appeared at the faces of the demons when they heard Ramidas’s exclamation.

“How many?”

Komon asked. How many appeared?

However, Ramidas’s words that followed had no choice but to confuse Komon.

“Two!”

“Two?”

“Yes.”

Komon frowned. He saw the urgency and thought that dozens or hundreds of people might have attacked. But only two?

“Then why…”

There were only two of them, but Komon, who was about to urge him on why he had such an urgent expression stopped his words.

*Swoosh*

It was because a huge firestorm appeared in sight.  He seemed to understand why Ramidas was in such a hurry & urgency.

[Level Up!]

Yeon Jeung smiled when he checked his notifications.

‘It is really fast.’

A level up message that appeared 3 minutes ago appeared again.

He was only eating 20% of Soo Hyuk’s hunting experience, but his level was rising at a tremendous rate.

Yeon Jeung turned his head to look at Soo Hyuk.

“Fire Storm.”

After summoning the ‘Children of Darkness’, Soo Hyuk was casting wide-area (aoe) magic inside the outpost.

‘After all, wizards are weapons of mass destruction.’

Yeon Jeung thought. Even if he were as strong as Soo Hyuk, he would not be able to annihilate enemies this way. It was only possible because Soo Hyuk is a wizard.

After checking Soo Hyuk, Yeon Jeung checked the quest window.

{The 5th Outpost}

You have arrived at the 5th outpost of the Kyrad Faction  in Area B.

At Outpost 5, numerous demons are preparing to depart.

Stop the demons preparing to go out! 

[Number of remaining demons: 421]

Quest Reward: Contribution 50,000

This quest was created when they entered the ‘5th Outpost’.

‘How long will it take?’

The number of remaining demons was rapidly decreasing.

‘At this rate, we can take care of the other four places quickly.’

This was the 5th outpost.

There are at least four more outposts.

It was then.

[Warning!]

[The commander of the 5th Outpost, High-Class Demon Komon has appeared.]

A boss message appeared.

Yeon Jeung checked the surroundings after seeing the message.

‘They are here.’

Many demons were approaching from afar.

‘Is it that guy?’

At the forefront there was a demon wearing slightly different armor.

It was clear that it was the High-Class Demon Komon.

Yeon Jeung turned his head to look at Soo Hyuk. Soo Hyuk also saw the message and was staring at Komon. And as soon as Komon got closer, Soo Hyuk opened his mouth to cast a spell.

[The commander of Outpost 5, the High-Class Demon Komon has died.]

[Level Up!]

Soo Hyuk looked at the message then turned his head. He thought as he looked at the Poison Storm.

‘I did not even need Hellfire.’

He initially thought that he might cast Hellfire. However, looking at the demons behind Komon he just sprayed a ranged spell of poison magic attribute ‘Poison Storm’.

Then Soo Hyuk knew that even if he did not use Hellfire, he could kill High-Class Demons in no time.

Poison magic was not too far behind Hellfire. After casting the Poison Storm, Soo Hyuk looked around again.

‘Is that not it?’

Soo Hyuk was looking for something.

‘It will be easier with a Warp Gate.’

It was a Warp Gate connected to other outposts.

“Let’s rest for a while.”

After confirming that there was no Warp Gate in sight, Soo Hyuk told Yeon Jeung.

The road ahead was destroyed by various poison spells. If it were Soo Hyuk, he would not take any damage due to the ‘Archmage’ passive skill, but it would be a different case with Yeon Jeung.

Therefore, Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung stopped moving for a while and took a break.

“Have you seen any demons running away?”

While taking a break, Yeon Jeung said.

“Escape?”

“Yeah, the remaining numbers are decreasing.”

The number of remaining demons listed in the quest was rapidly decreasing.

The ‘Children of Darkness’ were near the wagon, so they did not even kill them.

It was clear they were leaving the outpost.

“If this is known elsewhere…”

Yeon Jeung said. What if the demons who fled from the outpost report about what happened here?

Soo Hyuk laughed when he thought about Yeon Jeung’s words.

“Other demons will come!”

The outpost was under attack, so of course reinforcements would come. Wasn’t that also an outpost in the area they controlled?

Yeon Jeung was unable to say anything at Soo Hyuk’s reaction. He thought that Soo Hyuk might be worried, but it was a useless worry.

‘Well, it’s strange to be worried.’

It was literally Soo Hyuk who destroyed the outpost. There was no reason for him to worry about the demons coming.

“Let us go.”

The duration of the poison magic was over, and the road was cleared. At Soo Hyuk’s words, Yeon Jeung drove a carriage and advanced along the road.

After some time, Soo Hyuk could not help but be surprised.

A huge number of demons were gathered at their front. Of course, Soo Hyuk was not surprised because the demons were gathered.

“Isn’t that a Warp Gate? Were they running away using that?”

Yeon Jeung said.

“Well, I guess so?”

Soo Hyuk smiled broadly while replying. The reason Soo Hyuk was surprised was because he found the Warp Gate he had been looking for.
