I used to live in the mountains, and it was only natural, considering that I was a wanderer for a long time before entering the Overlord Castle.
kugugu.
In the midst of a meal, a group of monsters came from across the plains.
It was a bipedal bird-type monster that looked like a giant ostrich. It is a mad bird that inhabits the plains.
Ashel got up silently and tried to deal with it, but when she looked back, she saw another huge thing behind them.
【Lv. 61]
A giant lizard with two necks.
I raised my supersensory and zoomed in on him.
‘·······Twin Head Lizard?’
When asked to pick out bizarre monsters from the Magi, one of the representative ones is the monsters with multiple heads.
Twin Head Lizard was one of them.
Now it looks like he wasn’t running to attack us, he was being pursued.
As the majesty got closer, it seemed that the people who had crossed the border and came out were appearing.
Of course, there was no mercy in Ashel’s hands.
A huge sword from Ashel’s shot rushed towards them.
Geomgi tore up all the Mad Birds and cut down the backmost one. But······.
Keek!
Surprisingly, it withstood Ashhel’s attack.
While pouring blood on the floor, he frantically shook his head and rushed with a scream.
Ashel wiggled her eyebrows and fired a sword once more. It was a sword with a much stronger energy than before.
The one who was hit by the sword once more was finally split in half with his body in half.
Ashel pulled out her sword with a slightly reluctant look.
I could see why she did it.
‘The monsters of the Demonic Spirit are like that.’
Its strength is also strong, but its aggression and ferocity were incomparable to normal monsters.
If it was just a normal monster, it wouldn’t be strange if it jumped out from the moment it hit the first attack, but this guy didn’t.
Of course, in the complete opposite, there were also monsters that were not so clever. In short, there were a lot of annoying guys here and there.
Even in the game, hunting monsters in the Demon Gyeonggi was like committing suicide unless you were at a certain level.
“ah.”
As she sat back down to eat, she sighed briefly when she saw her soup bowl spilled.
He had just roused his energy and fell over in the aftermath.
I looked at the scene and smiled, then our eyes met. She coughed in embarrassment and poured the soup back into her bowl.
“Eat a lot.”
“······Yes.”
Hallumenta (2)
The environmental characteristics of the magi existing on the continent were also different.
In some places, lava pillars spewed out of the earth, in some places lightning struck a dry sky, and in some places, even the water that was poured out in the extreme cold immediately froze.
Compared to such other magi, Hallumenta’s environment and topography belonged to the mediocre axis.
This was the reason why even after entering the entrance in earnest, Ashel and I were still able to ride horses.
‘The sun is no longer visible.’
I looked up at the sky filled with almost black dark clouds.
Because of them, it was almost as dark as night in broad daylight.
It was a landscape with that kind of atmosphere that would come to mind naturally when it comes to the end of the world.
Keek!
And the monsters that popped out from time to time were a bonus.
A monstrous creature that had fallen from the cliff and rushed in a curve was cut in half by Ashhel’s sword.
The strong guy hasn’t come out yet, so whenever he encounters it, Ashel takes care of it…

‘There are a lot of really dirty things.’
The number of encounters was incomparable to the ones I usually encountered when passing through forests or mountain ranges. That’s why it’s called Magical in the first place.
It’s not a big deal, but I was already tired when I thought about how annoying it would be to come and bother me when I was sleeping at night.
I looked at the map again and thought about the place where the mystery was hidden.
‘A huge rock in the shape of a tower located in the center of Magyeong.’
And a cave somewhere.
It was a place that came out through the recollection of ‘Nom’ in the game.
Still, for this mystery, all I had to do was go to the central area of the Magyeong and find the rock, so I was able to pinpoint the exact location.
After a few days of travel, we were able to enter a forest.
They were not just green, lush trees, but rotten old trees with only a black color to the leaves. like a magician
As I walked along the eerie forest path, I looked around.
The trees were also often seen open with dark colored fruits, which I observed carefully.
Although Hallumenta was quite ordinary, there was a point that clearly set it apart from other Magical Sutras. It was a plant.
There were plants that seemed to grow like this even without the appearance of young malt.
Some had deadly poisons, while others had great medicinal effects.
‘That’s…’
Among them, I found one fruit and opened my eyes wide.
A round fruit the size of a melon with a black skin and red cracked texture.
I waited so long that the grains ran like grapes and almost touched the floor.
As they got closer, the large insects that had been eating a single fruit that had fallen to the ground flew and scattered.
I picked one fruit in good condition by hand.
In the game, because of achievements, I had to get tired of gathering herbs and fruits in Hallumenta, so I knew what this was.
‘Monstache fruit.’
It didn’t really have any beneficial effects on the body.
However, unlike the appearance, it was the fruit of the setting that the two of them had a heavenly taste that they would not know even if they died.
It was pretty hard to find in the game, but I was lucky enough to come across it.
I couldn’t help but wonder about the taste, so I took a small bite of it. The flesh had a crunchy texture and was orange like an orange.
‘Wow······.’
As soon as I ate it, I was deeply impressed by the intense sweetness that spreads in my mouth.
I can see why the game called it heavenly taste. As soon as I took one bite, I had to admit it right away.
As I savored the sweetness, I turned my head.
Next to me, Ashel was looking at me with a slightly bewildered look.
It looked strange as he suddenly picked the fruit he ate, which looked like a lump of cold lava.
“Eat you too.”
As she grabbed another one and held it out, Ashel let out a small drool and shook her head.
“········I’m fine.”
“I don’t force it, but if you don’t eat it, you’ll regret it.”
It’s a waste to taste this delicious food alone.
When I said that, she seemed to be curious about it, so I accepted it with hesitation.
Then he took a small bite and opened his eyes.
I smiled and ate the fruit I was eating in an instant. It was so large that I was full after eating just one.
“Keep going.”
As I was about to move forward again, I heard a popping sound from behind.
When she turned her head to find something, Ashhel picked another fruit and put it in her mouth.
She gulped the fruit she was chewing with a look as if she had been caught in the process of frost.
“······sorry.”
“Okay.”
If you want more, you have to eat, what an apple.

A few days have passed since I entered the Myeongyeong.
In the meantime, the landscape unfolding in my sight was a repetition of endless black land and bushes, and there was nothing special about it.
The only thing that changed was that the deeper you went into the demonic realm, the stronger the monsters were coming out.

.
.
The ones I met this time were the ones that were swarming around.
There were monkey monsters, some that looked like a mixture of a lion and a rhinoceros, and some giant spiders with countless disgusting eyes.
‘What are these?’
I couldn’t help but tilt my head at the alien sight.
It wasn’t because they were of the same species, and it was a group of monsters that didn’t fit together at all.
wow!
I told Ashel after thinking about it, because the handling was first.
“Take care of that monkey.”
“Yes.”
Ashel rushed towards the monkey monster with the highest level, which was separated from her.
The rest of the crowd rushed towards this side with ferocious momentum.
I stretched out my hand and popped the drops of blood and shot them out.
Each individual was at a level that could be devastated by even one small city alone, but the level has no meaning in its ability to kill instantly. They were wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Whoa!
Shortly thereafter, Ashel also killed the monkey with no difficulty.
She turned to me and saw all the other dead monsters, cleared her breath and pulled out her sword.
After that, he often encountered a group of monsters with such a heterogeneous combination.
As I continued to slay them, an idea came to my mind.
‘········Oh, is that so?’
There were a lot of monsters with all kinds of tricky and bizarre abilities.
Starting from the peer, there were those who fired powerful magic cannons, spit out fire or electricity, or caused hallucinations. Those guys are mostly classified as named bosses.
And among them, there were also very rare monsters with the ability to control and control other monsters.
Seeing the ferocious demonic monsters who were so eager to eat each other were so friendly with each other… I thought that maybe someone with the power of dominance might be in this realm right now.
‘As I remember, there was no boss with the ability of the dominant type in Hallumenta….’
Well, it’s a past point in the background I played, so there may be boss mobs I don’t know about.
I didn’t take it too seriously.
Even if there was a guy with real dominance, it wouldn’t pose a huge threat.
A few more days passed as they turned all the monsters that attacked like that into corpses.
Seeing the dark red mist that spread faintly in the air, I wondered if it had slowly entered the center of the real magic scene.
I was definitely prepared for getting lost on my way back.
One of the compass for indicating the mutual location used in the Elrod Forest was buried at the entrance to the Magyeong, and the guide powder that I had brought along was also sprinkled along the way.
I stretched my field of vision to the max with my extrasensory, trying to find the rock.
It’s a huge rock that looks like a tower, so it would be easy to spot from afar…
And just as I thought, after wandering around the area for about half a day, I was able to finally find the rock.
‘······ That is.’
Beyond the fog, he approached the huge rock that looked like a tower at first glance. There were no monsters nearby.
Arriving right in front of me, I circled around the rocks to find the entrance to the cave.
And I soon found it.
One wide passage open openly in the middle of the rock.
This is the place where the last mystery I seek is hidden.
“Wait for me, I’ll come in.”
Saying that to Ashel, he walked alone into the dark cave.
The presence felt from the inside was still and there was nothing.
I moved inside for a while.
The straight passageway was much longer than I thought, and even after walking for several dozen minutes, there was no sign of it ending.
‘When will it end?’
I got tired of walking slowly, so I just ran. I’m not tired anyway, so why did I walk?
How many more minutes would you have run?
Finally, the straight passage ended and a huge cavity appeared.
I looked around the joint.
Now, there seemed to be no more passage to the inside.
Then this is the end… it was just dark with nothing in the cavity. There were no brightly shining mysterious patterns.
I thought I came here wrong, but this is definitely the case.
There can be no other oysters on the rock that look like a tower other than here. That being said, that is…
“············”.
I approached the center of the cavity with a hardened face.
There was a faint stain of dried blood on the floor.
A sign that someone else went here before me, as if a very long time had passed.
There were enough traces to understand why there was no mystery pattern here.
“Have you already taken it?”
I muttered in despair.
Apparently, ‘Nom’ had already discovered this place a long time ago, and eventually absorbed the mystery.
It was a failure to preempt the last mystery.
