new power

Alice, who had come after receiving my call, stared at the sign in a daze and exclaimed in admiration.

“Wow! Isn’t this Korean?”

“you’re right.”

“128? What exactly is it written on?”

Unlike us, who received the blessing of languages from the god Roden and are fluent in all languages, Earthlings did not know the languages of other countries. At least it’s Alice, who went to Korea often because of me, so she recognizes that it’s in Korean.

“It says the 128th Pandemonium’s Ratoon Camp.”

“Ugh! You mean there are 127 more demon realms like this?”

“At least that much more.”

“But when it comes to Latun… Isn’t that the name of the hero of Roden?”

Oh, I studied hard and now I know the name of the hero.

“you’re right.”

“How does the hero of Roden know Korean?”

After debating for a while whether or not to tell him, I decided to just say it.

“Latun is actually from Earth.”

“… yes?”

“They say he moved to Loden a long time ago.”

Ellis opened her eyes wide in surprise, but soon fell into thought with a serious face.

it would be surprising

“Could it be because of Latun that the gate between Roden and Earth was opened?”

I thought it was because of my regression, but I just gave a rough answer.

“Maybe.”

“Then, is it because of Latun that the abandoned world and the earth were opened up?”

Well? I hadn’t thought of that… … .

My father and I had concluded that both gates were caused by my regression. But looking at it like this, I think it might not be like that again.

When I didn’t answer, Elise opened her mouth again.

“Will the gate continue to be breached in the future? ‘At least’ 127 more?”

“… … .”

If her assumptions are correct, it is highly probable that Earth will become a great meeting place beyond the abandoned world.

Who can say for sure that among the 128 demon realms connected to the demon realm, which is at least that much, there is no demon king or demon tribe.

“What will the Earth look like in the future? … .”

He patted the depressed Elise on the shoulder and comforted her.

“If living is difficult, you can come and live in Roden.”

“… yes?”

Alice looked at me with her mouth wide open.

I don’t know why, but I’m looking at something other than a person the other day.

So I quickly added.

“In the worst case. Aren’t you glad you still have Roden?”

“It is, but… That should never happen! Billions of refugees… That’s not a number Roden can accept.”

“Yeah, that’s right. I’ll do my best to help, so don’t worry too much. I will not let the earth perish.”

At my empty words, Elise relaxed her face and smiled bashfully.

Hmmm, I’ll have to be a bit careful with my words from now on.

“Now what? Wouldn’t it be better to form a selection team first and try it out?”

“In case you don’t know, I’ll go in first. Ellis-sama, please look outside to see if the demon is approaching.”

“I want to go in too!”

“Hmm… Then who leads the team?”

Elise’s gaze turned to Leon.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

Naturally, Leon refused with a single knife.

“I must protect my lord.”

“… I really want to go in, but how can I not?”

Elise looked at me and Leon alternately with bright eyes.

Is it because Latun is from Earth?

This was the first time she didn’t obey me.

Well, when I think of Dory, it seems appropriate to bring her in.

“Well… Leon.”

“Yes, lord.”

“I’ll give it up just this time.”

After seeming to think for a moment, Leon nodded.

“I will follow your orders.”

It wasn’t really an order.

“Then I will go.”

“Yes, if anything happens, please shout outside.”

“okay.”

Eventually, me, Alice, and Kater ended up in the cave.

By the way.

[Well… … .]

Kater is making a puzzled expression in front of the entrance.

“Why aren’t you coming in?”

[I’d rather not go in.]

“so why?”

[There is something like a gin at this entrance that acts as a barrier against demonic energy.]

“jin? Can’t you see that?”

[It’s not a magic circle. this is so… Yes, I think it would be better to see it as some kind of authority.]

Aha.

That’s why Magi doesn’t exist in here.

[If you really want to go in, there’s nothing you can’t do.]

I guess so.

It’s not another body, it’s a body made of the body of the demon king.

[But if I overdo it, this body will be destroyed.]

“Hmm… … .”

Still, I can’t leave Cater.

Even if it’s a space Latun made, you have to go in with minimal preparation.

In this abandoned world, Kater is the best card I can play.

“Then just stay in the bracelet. is that okay?”

[Don’t do that.]

Swoop-

When Kater enters the bracelet, we enter the cave.

After passing through the entrance, the quality of the air changes.

Alice took a deep breath and smiled.

“It’s refreshing.”

“I see.”

The air inside the cave was rather cleaner than Roden or Earth.

We went inside, washing our bodies and minds contaminated with demonic spirits with fresh air in the abandoned world, and we reached the end before long.

‘I’ve lived well in a place like this.’

At the end of the cave was a space decorated like a room.

There is a bed, a table, a desk, and even something similar to a TV.

“Oh! It’s an X-BOX!”

“What is it?”

“It’s the name of the game machine. That ratoon… … .”

Ellis continued in a subdued voice.

“It looks like you’re from the real Earth.”

“Because it is.”

I quickly changed the subject because she seemed to be getting depressed.

“Anyway, that’s a map right?”

“uh? Is that so?”

There are paintings and photographs on the walls one by one.

Lines were drawn in the picture as if it had been modified several times, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like a map.

“That X-shaped saggy area is the area where Latun finished exploring, right?”

“Perhaps.”

The number of small Xs on the map is in the hundreds.

You can see that this abandoned world is much wider than you thought.

“But who is this?”

“I do not know.”

In the photo, a woman was shown smiling. Even though I told Alice I didn’t know, I seemed to know what kind of person she was.

‘She’s a saint from the ancient era.’

Although different in detail, the overall feel of the clothes the woman was wearing in the picture was quite similar to that of the saintess.

‘She also resembles a saintess.’

Looking at the picture reminds me of the conversation in Ratoon’s vision I saw before.

-Did you say Earth? You’re not going to that home planet, are you?

-Absolutely. You haven’t found her yet, have you?

– Then where are you going this time?

-I’m going to look around the demon realm.

It seems that the ‘she’ that Latun spoke of at that time was a saint from the ancient times.

‘Did they search more than 128 places in the demon realm to find the saintess?’

In the illusion, Latun said that he needed 10 years of charging time to move one dimension.

That means that the time he wandered around to find the saintess was at least 1280 years.

What a great person.

‘I must have found the saintess after all.’

So, wouldn’t it have appeared suddenly from the earth and saved the dead?

“Martin?”

I woke up from my thoughts at Elise’s words.

While I was lost in thought, she seemed to have taken pictures of the room, including maps and pictures, with a video tool.

I told her

“I think we can use this as a secondary base.”

The space that Magi cannot invade is precious.

There is no reason not to use this place.

“Isn’t that too narrow?”

“Of course, we have to make sure that only those who really need it can come in. Someone like a patient, for example.”

“Five… That’s a good idea.”

“Above all, it’s not like Latun set up a camp here for nothing.”

Even from the map, this was the central part of the abandoned world.

‘not bad.’

It’s a bit disappointing that there’s nothing I can use personally, but the acquisition of the map is very significant. That alone is worth the effort so far.

“Shall we go back?”

It was then that Alice nodded and was about to leave the room.

Goo Goo Goo-

Suddenly the ground started to vibrate.

“It must be an earthquake. We have to get out quickly!”

I grabbed her arm as she screamed with a contemplative face.

“Calm down. It is not an earthquake.”

“Yes Yes?”

Perhaps because it is a space without demonic energy, the detection area has become very wide.

“Expand your senses.”

At my words, Elise quietly closed her eyes. Then, after a while, he opened his eyes wide and looked at me with trembling eyes and asked.

“Is it a magic beast?”

“It seems so.”

The presence of the demonic beast transmitted from the outside is truly staggering.

Vibration is transmitted to this place, which is the deepest part of the cave.

Fortunately, the team members were safely inside the cave.

“Let’s go.”

We quickly ran towards the cave entrance.

Leon, who was looking outside near the entrance, looks at me and smiles.

“Lord!”

“What happened?”

“Beasts suddenly appeared and tried to attack us. There were too many of them, so I took my teammates and escaped to the cave.”

“You didn’t do anything, but suddenly appeared?”

“yes.”

“Hmm… … .”

Where did so many monsters come from hiding?

I don’t feel good.

It’s like… … .

“What shall we do, lord?”

“Escape must be difficult, right?”

“It seems so. There are too many of them.”

The demonic beast exists at the end of the range that can be felt with the senses.

It means that there is a very high probability that there will be witches beyond that.

This isn’t the sea of demons.

As I was thinking about what to do, Ellis suggested it.

“For now, it’s better to be in a place where you can’t see the Witchbeast. don’t you know again? If I can’t see it, I’ll go back.”

It seems unlikely.

It’s not a natural phenomenon that they gathered here.

I nodded, hoping I was wrong.

“Then let’s go inside.”

* * *

Five hours passed.

I sneaked a peek at it about once every 30 minutes, but the magic beasts still didn’t budge.

You can even see a guy sleeping all over.

I can see that my foreboding premonition came true.

“I don’t think they will go anywhere, even if we drag out time.”

“Why do invisible magic beasts suddenly appear and target us?”

“That ‘suddenly’ is what matters.”

“yes?”

Alice tilted her head, as if not understanding what I was saying.

Maybe it’s because he’s an earthling, so he doesn’t seem to know much about demons.

“Originally, demon beasts don’t go around in groups like that unless they’re of the same kind. Eat each other and grow stronger. But there is an exception here.”

“what is that?”

“When someone strong enough to dominate the demons appeared. It should be to that extent so that the monsters can mix.”

“The strong… … .”

“A demon king or a high-ranking demon tribe would be a typical example. This phenomenon of so many monsters ‘suddenly’ appearing at once and quietly waiting for us to come out without fighting is something that can never happen under normal circumstances.”

Alice’s pupils shake.

“Then, are you saying that there is a demon king or demon tribe out there that rules over demon beasts?”

“It won’t be the Demon King.”

According to Latun, the Demon King is also a transcendent.

If the Demon King had existed in this abandoned world, we wouldn’t be able to stay as normal as we are now.

Even more, isn’t it expanding its influence in another world connected to the gate?

There’s no way the demon king would just watch that scene.

So my conclusion is this.

“It must be a high-ranking demon or a being from another world connected to the Gate.”

“after… We don’t have much food or water, which is a big deal.”

Research has shown that eating food or water from this world is not harmful. So, the principle is to base the expedition on local procurement.

Of course, that is impossible here.

‘What should I do?’

Would it be better to try to escape before exhaustion, or would it be better to wait for the rescue team to come find us?

Just when I was thinking about it, Kater spoke to me.

[Remember when I said I got new powers?]

‘That’s what I said while asking for it to be taken out in the Phoenix Raid?’

[okay.]

‘Why is that?’

[Originally, I intended to use it, but since I can’t get out of the bracelet, I think you should use it.]

‘Is this the power to overcome this situation?’

[Look at it once.]

I looked inside the bracelet.

‘Five… … .’

Kater is supporting something with both hands.

Something that looks like a crown.
