The road to the place where Endmion is staying.
Aaron kept asking me questions.
“Where are you from?”
“It came from afar.”
“I’m asking for affiliation!”
“I am independent.”
“profit!”
Aaron, who was running ahead, turned his head and glared at me.
But Aaron looked ahead in my eyes.
‘There’s no need to tell the truth.’
The status of being the son of Diablo, the king of demons, is obviously great.
However, the opponent I am going to meet now is a being with power and influence that is second to none.
‘I don’t know if it was when I met Endmion in person. You don’t have to tell me first.’
When I didn’t answer properly, Aaron asked another question.
“You look strong, how old are you?”
“I am 18 years old.”
“lie!”
Aaron turns his head again.
If earlier it was annoyance, now I feel disbelief and astonishment.
“It is true.”
Aaron shook his head in disbelief at my words.
“No, you look young, but are you really 18? So you’re saying I just fell to the floor because I was beaten by an 18-year-old? And now the directions like this… .”
Aaron started muttering something while running, as if the shock was bigger than he thought.
“All my training was in vain… .”
I wanted to say something comforting, but it seemed meaningless.
This is a magic dungeon.
Because it was a world that would disappear anyway.
I continued to move quickly, but nothing significantly changed.
The surrounding scenery was unchanged, and the monsters that appeared were the same.
When this happened, I could see how lucky I was to meet Aaron.
The moment when the repetitive scenery starts to get a little boring.
“Almost there.”
He pointed to Aaron somewhere and said.
“That’s where Endmion-nim and his combat team are staying.”
“Are you sure about that place?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm… .”
I squinted my eyes and looked at the building that appeared in the distance.
A pretty big castle.
No, it was more like a tower than a castle.
A pointed tower rising high into the sky and a fortress wall that spread widely around it.
Obviously, the large scale was right.
However.
‘Than you think… It’s too small.’
It is a place where a being comparable to the Great Demon King resides.
He said that the troops under his command would also be with him.
However, the scale, which can be said to be small compared to the Demonic, was obviously not suitable.
There was another strange thing.
‘There’s nothing around.’
If the ruler of a region lives, there should be a large-scale village or city centered around it.
However, there were no buildings around that strange tower.
TOP alone is proudly showing off his presence.
‘Didn’t I lead you to the wrong place?’
It is a story of possibility.
I asked Aaron just in case.
“Is that tower really the last name of Lord Endmion?”
“why? Do you think I am lying?”
Aaron smiled at my words.
“Not too many people visit this place, but most of them have reactions similar to yours. You will know everything when you get closer.”
As Aaron said, it’s something you need to check yourself.
I approached the tower with Aaron.
An overwhelming aura that can be felt the closer you get.
Its true identity was a magic circle densely located around the tower.
“That magic circle was installed for the purpose of intercepting external enemies and defending against attacks. Quite a few enemies can’t even last the first time and fall out.”
“Awesome.”
Not empty words, it was really great.
The pressure emanating from the magic circle was clearly felt even from this distance.
‘If that many magic circles are activated at the same time, quite a few opponents will be finished.’
The tower finally came right in front of us.

Upon closer inspection, it was larger than expected.
‘But it’s a bit strange.’
I didn’t feel any popularity around me.
For a building of such a large scale, of course there must be people guarding the surroundings.
However, except for the glowing magic circle, nothing was visible.
“You say you’ll find out when you get closer, what are you talking about?”
Instead of answering, Aaron moved closer to the magic circle.
Then change began to happen.
Whoops.
In addition to the original magic circle, a newly appeared magic circle.
Several people appeared above it.
Body in armor with the face of a dragon, mostly like Aaron’s.
Perhaps they were members of the same Demonic Dragons.
And among them, a uniquely heterogeneous being caught my eye.
‘It looks like a demon.’
A demon with a human body and face unlike the others around him.

Unlike normal demons with horns growing on both sides, the horn that grew in the center of the forehead was impressive.
“Dae, see the captain.”
And Aaron hurriedly kneels toward the man.
Through Aaron’s words, he was able to find out the identity of the opponent.
The leader of the Demon Dragon Squad, to which Aaron belonged, was the man in front of him.
“Who is that guy?”
“That, that… .”
Aaron briefly explained what had happened with me.
Then the other person’s eyes turned to me.
‘this… I should be prepared.’
Soon, a tremendous amount of pressure began to pour over me.
* * *
dead pan.
It was hard to guess what he was thinking just by looking at his face.
But I could tell for sure that the man wasn’t very kind to me.
Because the waves of demonic energy flowing from his body were shaking wildly.
“I want to meet Endmion… You’re a funny guy.”
Bubbly.
A man slowly approaching me.
The closer the distance, the stronger the pressure I felt.
And indomitability that is activated at the same time.
It was proof that the opponent was stronger than me.
‘Well, it’s natural since I can’t check the status window in the first place.’
From the first time the opponent appeared, I figured out the abilities of all personnel.
Knowing the level of the opponent could help you decide how to respond.
Most of them were within my reach.
Except for one thing, the man in front of me.
He was an opponent whose abilities could not be confirmed.
‘It’s only natural if he’s the commander of a combat team in the first place.’
The Demon Dragon Corps is a combat team directly under Endmion.
If he was the captain there, he would be at least as strong as Harold.
Of course, it was impossible to grasp the ability level.
It was fortunate that they did not attack right away.
‘What should I do?’
It’s an atmosphere that won’t make it easy.
The moment I thought about how to persuade.
“What… It will be fine. Follow me.”
A man who says something completely unexpected.
Read at noblemtl. com
Unexpectedly, I asked back without even realizing it.
“What did you say just now?”
“Are you deaf? He told me to follow him because he will let me see Endmion.”
“All right.”
It’s a bit embarrassing, but given the opportunity over there, there was no reason to refuse.
The man climbed onto the magic circle that first appeared.
“Come on up here.”
For a moment, I wondered if it was a ulterior motive to lure me into a trap.
But he soon changed his mind.
If you intend to deal with me, you can use your hands right now.
Because that man’s strength is enough.
But why take it to another place?
‘There’s no reason to bother with that.’
At least, the chances of him being taken to harm me seemed low.
I stepped up to the magic circle without hesitation.
“Hoo? He’s a fearless guy.”
The other person made an expression that he was interested in seeing me like that.
“If I was afraid, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place.”
“Haha, that’s right too.”
Well, in the worst case, it’s enough to be forced out of the dungeon.
Honestly, if this place were real, I would have thought of all the various situations and moved more carefully, but in the end, it was a world made of magic.
It was a story about being bold.
“Then let’s move.”
Whoops.
Soon, the magic circle emitted light and the surrounding scenery changed.
And an unfamiliar place that caught my eye.
‘Is it inside the tower? No, this… .’
It was too wide to be seen simply as the inside of the tower.
Lots of people walking around.
And to the various buildings that fill the surroundings.
Where I am now is in the middle of a huge city.
‘Is this also the power of magic?’
Although the tower seen from the outside was huge, it was absolutely not on a scale that could fit a city inside.
The biggest city I’ve seen in Pandemonium is Ethlon’s territory.
At first glance, the city now seemed larger than the Ethlon estate.
A phenomenon that is impossible without the power of magic.
“You look curious.”
“It is a little surprising.”
“This is the dragon’s nest. It is the place where Lord Endmion and the people who follow him live.”
“Is this a magical space?”
“What… Similar but different. It is a space that can be entered through magic, but this is a place that actually exists in the Pandemonium.”
Creating a real city in a place no one knows, and allowing only those who are permitted to come and go through the magic circle.
It’s very closed, but the management seemed to be in an efficient way.
It was the part where I realized why everyone was reluctant to enter Endmion’s realm.
‘If it’s like this, sneaking in will be almost impossible.’
Destroying the tower by attacking it from the outside didn’t seem easy either.
However, even if it is destroyed, the main base connected by the magic circle will not suffer any damage, so in the end it will be in vain.
‘By the way, can I tell you all of this?’
I don’t know if it’s the confidence that it doesn’t matter if I know, or if it’s because I think there’s nothing to be known, but the other person was calmly solving my curiosity.
“I am Reikart, the captain of the Demon Dragon Squad.”
“I… .”
For a moment, I was contemplating whether I should say my fake name.
But the trouble didn’t last long.
After coming this far, there was no reason to hide it.
“My name is Kylers Diablick.”
“Well? If it’s Diabrick, I’m sure… .”
“you’re right. My father is a dreadlord.”
stop.
Ricardo, who was moving his steps, stopped.
and gaze towards me.
It contained a variety of emotions.
distrust.
Embarrassment.
and curiosity.
“I thought he was simply a fearless guy, but he turned out to be a more interesting opponent than I thought.”
I don’t check if it’s real.
“I was wondering if I should take you to Endmion-sama, but now I’ve made a decision. The name Diablic is enough to qualify.”
“thank you.”
“Can you guess what purpose you are trying to see him?”
“that… .”
It was hard to say anything.
Because the goal in the first place was to meet Endmion.
A situation where I don’t know what to do when I meet.
I decided to just look around.
“I will see you and talk to you.”
“What… It will be fine. Endmion will decide everything. We will move first.”
From the center of the city, through the magic circle, they moved once again.
“This is the Demon Dragon Castle where Endmion-nim is staying.”
“This is… You mean?”
A place where the Absolute who rules a region stays.

Usually, we think of a huge castle or mansion.
But what was in front of me was a large cave.
“why? Is it unexpected?”
“little… okay.”
“Because the size or splendor of a house has no meaning to him.”
I understand to some extent.
If it was a being that could use magic to break free from the limitations of space, it was okay not to be obsessed with the size of the place it stayed.
“Let’s go in.”
“All right.”
I entered the cave following Reikard.
“Come to think of it, there was one more visitor before you came.”
“You mean another guest?”
“okay. Usually, few outsiders come, but I don’t know what day it is today.”
The existence of other visitors other than myself.
Most likely a student of Demonic.
‘Who the hell are you?’
I was also lucky enough to be able to get to this place quickly, but if it was faster than me, it wasn’t normal.
But it seems that he hasn’t met Endmion yet.
‘If that’s the case, I’d have been moved out of the dungeon right away.’
It was like I still had a chance.
“Who is that?”
Reikard smiled at my words.
The opponent’s true identity flowed from his mouth.
“They say it’s Lucifer Krause.”
