Episode 72 – What are you doing over there?
72. What are you doing over there?
Like Middle-earth, where there are continents and empires, and humans live on them.
The Demon World is also another world.
Demon beasts, demons, and demons live.
In the atmosphere, magic energy flows instead of mana.
A world with a black sky and a red sun.
For as long as the history of the continent, this demonic world has been repeatedly connected to the Middle Earth through a portal called the Demon World.
Scholars say:
This is also a very unstable dimension called the Demon World.
It is explained that compared to other dimensions, the gap between the Demon World and the Middle World is very narrow.
No matter how much it is.
Opening a door that connects two dimensions into one is a very tricky and not easy task.
But.
That difficult and difficult thing was now happening right in front of Leon’s eyes.
Gooooo!
A crack spread out in the air, as if a book had been torn open by holding the space with one’s hand.
An area large enough for three adult men to enter and exit.
A translucent film wavered on the surface.
The jagged border had five colors as light was scattered as if a prism had been attached.
Beyond the crack, the red-hot earth and muted sky.
And the roars and cries of the demonic beasts rang out like echoes.
Soon after.
Dense magical energy began to leak out beyond the demonic sutra gate.
“Wow.”
Leon reflexively raised his mana.
Fuzz stands up on top of the tingling skin.
My heart, sensing a crisis, was beating wildly.
The demonic energy flowing directly from the demon world was truly rich and raw.
The topography around Magyeongmun Gate changed due to the spreading magic energy.

The flagstones laid out in the square are split and broken.
The outer wall of the building that touched the magic corroded and fell off.
A dark red glow appeared in the murky air.
The middle world is being eroded and turned into a demon world.
Leon first shouted loudly.
[Everyone get out of the square! The situation is not over!]
Citizens who had gathered in the center were startled and moved away.
That was when Leon lowered his gaze again.
Kurrr!
A black figure flying from one side, destroying all the buildings and walls.
The whole body was crushed and bodily fluids were splattering behind it, giving the appearance of having been hit by something.
“What is he doing again?”
The one who ran out following closely behind was a woman with dark red hair.
She was holding a sword with a red flag wrapped around it in both of her hands.
The red trace drew an arc from top to bottom.
Kwaang-!
The black figure raised her arm and pretended to block, then was thrown back for a long time again.
But, that appearance was somehow strange.
A brief moment floating in the air.
Her messed up body recovered in no time, and her energy increased exponentially.
By the time it fell to the ground, new skin had sprouted all over the affected area.
When I looked more closely, I saw that all of the demonic energy flowing out of the demonic sutra gate was being sucked into the guy.
Like a fish in water, it is absorbing demonic energy and coming back to life.
Pot-.
Leon immediately launched her new model and jumped from the top of the clock tower.
“Sister.”
She then joined Hera, who was tilting her mouth in a pouty way.
“Have you been fighting that thing this whole time?”
This was said while gesturing at Inyoung.
“What…?!”
Astonishment burst out of Inyoung’s mouth after receiving the chin slap.
“Really? “The two of you have already captured Ulantor…?”
After being beat up so hard by Hera, it seems like he has finally confirmed the troubles of the demonic beast.
“Is that bug’s name Ulantor?”
“······.”
When Leon answered harshly, Inyoung closed her mouth and rolled her eyes.
She seemed very embarrassed by the unexpected situation.
“Ha~ sorry, little brother. “You have no shame.”
Hera became sullen and apologized.
The eyes, which were always bright, were depressed and sunken.
Is it because the time wasted in the one-on-one battle rather than anything else?
Master’s pride must have been quite damaged.
“Apologies are okay.”
Leon didn’t really care.
She had no intention of blaming anything.
Just looking at that guy’s momentum and his manifesting skills, I can clearly feel that he is a formidable opponent.
Hasn’t he been playing with a scorpion centipede for a while?
It’s just that their total strength was better than expected.
There was something else to consider in the current situation.
Leon pointed at the crack with the tip of his sword.
“What are you going to do? “Can you close that?”
To close the magic world without the help of a wizard, you need at least a master level unmanned person.
The last time the magic world was opened in Siruntel, it must have been closed by Aqua, the eldest son of the Hellbridge family and a master-level spearman.
But.
“Of course we can do it, but to do that, we have to create a gap. “It means my younger brother has to protect himself from those things.”
That’s right.
It was not something the master unmanned could do alone.
Aqua also moved with the family’s knights and closed the demonic realm while they dealt with the demonic beasts.
I needed time to focus without being interrupted.
Leon asked back.
“Those?”
“Yes. “It looks like he called his friends.”
No sooner had Hera finished speaking.
– Mr. Belger!
– We are here!
Beyond the rift, towards the Demon World.
Demons with magnificent spirit came from all over and began to show their faces.
They all have well-proportioned and sturdy bodies.
Wrapped in a long white hooded robe that reaches down to her feet.
In his hands, he was wearing a variety of swords.
Leon felt it right away.
All of them are at least the Talkan level we met in Siruntel.
The number of those guys is close to thirty.
If all of those things came over, it seemed unlikely that Hera would be able to create a gap to close her demonic realm.
Paging-.
Blink magic.
Aria, who was on the tower with Leon, also came.
“Master, if you’re going to do it, you have to do it quickly. Due to a lack of offerings, the rift could not be fully opened. “Those demons won’t be able to come over any time soon.”
It was just as she said.
It looks like he’s going to chew up the opponent at any moment.
The demons approached with lights in their eyes and waving swords.
They were embarrassed as they stood in front of the crack.
– Mr. Belger! The door is not perfect!
– If things continue like this, we can’t get over it…!
Belger, who was recovering from a distance, quickly responded.
“There was a problem with the order. “Send the warriors first!”
– ······Yes!
Within.
With a cracking sound like scraping metal.
“······Tarion?”
Tarion, the two-headed wolf-type demon beast, came through the crack one after another.
However, its appearance was very unfamiliar.
A chain wrapped around the neck.
The two heads emit eye lights of different colors.
Also, it doesn’t recklessly rush at a human just because it sees one.
You can see that they are lined up neatly and at regular intervals around Belger.
It seemed to be a demon beast that had been tamed by the demons themselves, not in the wild.
Hera’s tongue lashed out violently.
“Hmm~ Little brother, is it possible? I don’t think I can close the magic mirror now, right? Do you want to just grab Riel and run away?”
“······.”
Leon quenched his appetite.
There was certainly an option to run away.
Honestly, it would have been impossible to close the Demon Palace here.
While Hera prepares, Leon and Aria must block the attack together.
The demon called Belger standing over there is the one who faced Hera for a short time.
Even now, the guy’s magical power is fully charged.
Add a bunch of trained Tarions to the mix?
I’m sure I won’t be able to last even a minute and will be turned into a piece of meat.
In addition.
I didn’t know when the crack would completely open or when additional troops would come through.
At this moment, Tarion was still being deployed.
‘Hmm.’
A golden brooch suddenly appeared in Leon’s mind…
‘It’s such a waste to use it now.’
It disappeared immediately.
Honestly, it wasn’t a life-threatening situation.
As Hera said, escape is possible.
If you decide to do it, there is nothing you can’t do.
Even if the demons over there came rushing over, I wouldn’t know.
‘So you just run away? ‘Leave this alone?’
If we do that, one thing is certain: the citizens of Freeville will be exterminated.
“······.”
It was really unpleasant.
Isn’t it true that all the people who were kept alive will die?
The hardships I had endured so far were no different from becoming a small sandfish.
However.
What is not good is not good.
‘My life is the most important.’
“Aria, sister, let’s jump out.”
Leon was not a righteous hero, nor was he a great man who sacrificed himself for others.
He was an ordinary human being whose own safety and well-being were the most important.
Arya and Hera nodded.
“Do you think we should leave it that way?”
Reciting in a phlegm-filled voice, Belger raised his index finger and pointed forward.
Tarion’s group prepares to fire all at once.
Leon and the others slowly took a step back.
“Catch it.”
At that time when Belger’s words fell.
—Kwasik!
– Wait, behind, behind!
– What, what?!
Kwazajak! Kuddeuk! Kwasik!
– Ugh!?
– Why is this person here…!
Kwagagak! Kuduk! Kwazizig!
A strong bursting sound and the screams of demons began to be heard beyond the crack.
– hahahahaha!
A glow of joy covered it.
“·······?!”
Bel Ger raised his eyes and looked away.
That moment when I was distracted.
Beyond the crack was a mess.
Dismembered limbs flew through the air, and black blood swirled around.
The bodies of the demons who were vomiting were crushed without even being able to utter a single word.
Standing at the center of the chaos was a black greatsword.
Cut, stab, slice.
With this simple and simple movement, the demons were swept away like straw bales without even being able to engage their weapons once.
– hahahaha! Partsira has only mass-produced trash!
“·······?!”
The person wielding the great sword was a man the size of a house.

Dark red skin and a muscular upper body covered in scars.
And a gorgeous horn with one side cut at an angle.
“Bergov…?”
Leon muttered in confusion, forgetting that Hera was next to him.
“What is that guy doing over there?”
