Dense darkness surrounds the area, and an eerie atmosphere swirls about.
Inside the palace, blood, flesh, and bones are strewn about.
Deep within...
All kinds of screams mix together, exuding despair.
Evil.
Evil was present there.
Not the simple concept of evil called crime among humans.
Pure evil generated under the [Dark Covenant].
Its nature was so pure that it was even considered divine... If one were to trace its origin, it was an evil that reached demons and evil gods.
And in the center of it all.
A man sat on a creaking throne.
Pale face and hollow eyes.
Thin limbs and long-grown nails.
Even grotesque ‘wings’ growing on his back...
It was a being that could be considered closer to a demon than a human.
His mouth slowly opened.
“Hehehe. Dave.”
Right beside him.
A single word calling Dave, the man wrapped in a robe.
Dave bowed his head deeply and replied.
“Yes, School Master.”
“Show me... Your face.”
“Yes.”
Dave had never once removed his robe until now.
His face, which he had never shown to anyone, not even his subordinates or his contract partner Hwang Seong-yeon...
But at the School Master’s word, he immediately took off his robe and revealed himself.
“Hehehe. Still ugly as ever.”
Half of his face was covered in severe burn scars, and the other half was blackening and dying as if cursed.
A face that could hardly be considered human.
Just looking at it spreads discomfort around.
However, despite the School Master’s sarcastic joke, Dave replied in a tone that showed no offense.
“It should be just as you saw in Lafrion.”
“You could have fixed it with magic.”
“I never intended to from the start. I wanted to live remembering it forever.”
Those who made his face like this were...
The humans from Lafrion, the other world.
He had been terribly tortured and brought to the brink of death by humans who claimed to be exterminating the Ludenark School.
The targets of revenge he had tried not to forget for his entire life.
But as dimensional movement, adaptation, and departure began due to the System, such past vengeance no longer mattered to Dave.
The School Master’s desertion and the grand plan to devour the entire world.
His vision was rather aimed at something greater.
“Hehehe. So, the humans from the other world have entered our land.”
“Yes. It’s been reported that they’ve already attacked several areas owned by the executives. They’ve even arrived at the Land Touched by Death, which is my own territory.”
“Humans, whether here or there, seem desperate to devour us... Even though we were once human too.”
The School Master’s face appeared to be that of a fairly young human, but his manner of speaking was like that of an old man who had experienced many years.
And this was a very natural phenomenon.
After all, that body...
Was not the School Master’s from when he was human.
“How is our plan progressing?”
To the School Master’s question, Dave bowed his head and said, “We plan to gather all the school members who have completed their desertion and leave this place at once. We will then attack the human world and establish new territories.”
“Hehehe. Abandoning this place?”
“Yes. Since the territory itself has crossed over to the other world, the areas we’ve created will be nothing more than dungeons from the outside. Staying here would only result in killing incoming humans without any further progress.”
Of course, his contractor Jaten was there during his movements, and when ground movement became cumbersome, he summoned Tyrbon to dominate the air.
A holy knight freely traversing both land and air.
It’s absurd, but this was Do Jae-hyun now.
“Holder Kang Juyeon, Light Meteor at point A!”
“Yes.”
But even in this situation, she didn’t lose her focus on the battle.
At Team Leader Kim A-reum’ words, Kang Juyeon immediately cast the [Light Meteor] spell she had prepared.
Her high-purity flames fall among the Durahans assigned to Team 4.
Her main rune [Eternal Flame of Protection] is already at level 16.
It’s not very high for an A-grade Holder’s main rune level, but considering it’s a legendary rune and that rune leveling has become more difficult with evolution, it was certainly rapid growth.
“All warrior classes, please defend point B! Holder Moon Ga-eun and I will focus fire on point C!”
Kim A-reum’ voice hits various places around.
Kim A-reum is also a clan member who suddenly took on the team leader position as an archer class, but as a veteran A-grade Holder, she was carrying out her mission with rational instructions and clean tactics.
This place is particularly crowded with those close to Do Jae-hyun.
Kang Juyeon and Kim Chae-eun, representatives of the mage class in the clan, and Moon Ga-eun, who’s making a name for herself as a multi-archer these days...
Currently, all three of his lovers are in one team, and even Do Seung-min, an assassin class who’s a fervent fan of Do Jae-hyun, is part of Team 4.
‘...I need to do better.’
Perhaps because of this, their enthusiasm was much stronger than other teams.
Being close to the Clan Master isn’t always viewed positively by other clan members in terms of merit, so Kang Juyeon and related team members tried harder to exceed expectations.
The result is now.
Excluding Do Jae-hyun, who’s beyond common sense, Team 4 had taken down the most undead within the clan.
“Okay! The warrior classes will finish up the remaining point B. Everyone, good job...”
After all the small-scale battles were over.
Just as Team Leader Kim A-reum was about to give the final order and organize the team.
Thud-.
That change in terrain...
It came too suddenly.
The rear point where mage and archer classes were gathered.
The ground where clan members were about to move to where the warrior classes were... The floor they were standing on started to vibrate tremendously.
Thud!
Rumble-!!
The ground that looked like just a desolate plain.
The ground that showed no signs of abnormality even though team members and undead were stepping on it together.
The sudden collapse was instantaneous.
Dense darkness and tremendous magical power.
And visualized in black...
Along with some large hand.
The place where they were standing was being swallowed by ‘something’.
“Everyone, avoid it...!!”
Team Leader Kim A-reum’ anguished shout hits the surroundings.
It’s not easy for rear personnel with low speed stats and no movement runes to respond immediately in this situation.
In the end, the retreat order couldn’t be carried out...
And soon, an endless fall followed.
* * *
And then.
[You set foot in the ‘Maze Touched by Death’. This is a special area created by the owner of the zone. You can only escape by finding the convergence point of the magic that activates the area.]
Another area within the area.
A completely new place greeted them.
