Episode 6
How much time has passed since passing through the red circle.
The darkened vision gradually began to regain its light.
“Here… … .”
I looked around, frowning at the gloomy atmosphere.
colorless world.
That was my first impression.
The green light that colored the forest disappeared without a trace. Only gray stone walls filled the entire field of view.
“After all, I am alive.”
He escaped the chase and survived.
That fact brought relief.
that this will be successful.
You have just taken the first step. It’s definitely not a bad start, though.
A plan that was no different from a gamble from the beginning.
The reckless idea of using ‘information paper’ to annihilate weapons was fortunately a success.
If I had failed, I wouldn’t be here… … .
while breathing a sigh of relief.
Boo.
Suddenly, the paper he was holding in his hand emitted a bright light.
As if asking you to look at yourself-.
“what.”
what do you have to say to me
I tilted my head and unfolded the paper.
Then I could see something written in anger.
This is ‘once’. 』
“I will pay the penalty. 』
『 If you pay for information, you cannot pay for things that are not your possessions. 』
『 When replacing the master and the paper, make sure that it belongs to you. 』
『 If this is not observed, information exchange will not take place. 』
“this.”
I could feel the tone full of rage, so I furrowed my brow involuntarily.
Certainly, the use of Peltz’s weapon as a price was compulsory, so he deserved to be angry.
“Am I going to pass on this one?”
That alone was something to be aware of.
If the paper hadn’t accepted Peltz’s sword as a price, I would have died on the spot.
He took his eyes off the paper.
It is more urgent to figure out where this place is than that.
‘devildom… … It’s kind of strange to say.’
I remembered the description of the Demon Realm that I had written myself.
From nob le mt l dot com
Numerous monsters with intelligence form a group, and in the evening, two moons rise high in the sky.
… … I remember that you wrote about the demon world.
Isn’t this place more like a ‘relic’ rather than an everyday scene in the Demon Realm?
I thought about using information paper, and then folded it.
Because there was nothing to hand over in return.
I have to find out for myself.
I got up and walked around, lost in thought.
‘perhaps.’
This place may indeed be a ruin.
I slowly looked around.
Gray stone pillars embedded in several places.
And something like a transparent curtain was blocking my path.
‘Barrier.’
Some kind of magical device installed to prevent people from crossing this place.
Beyond the barrier, I saw a place similar to where I am now.
A huge boulder was moving inside. It seemed pretty bizarre and strange.
Was it like that
It was almost as if he knew the identity of this place.
Looking again at the area I was in, I saw a bed made of stone and a lump of obscure beef jerky to grab a bite to eat.
‘This is an artificial unexplored place.’
To be precise, it would be more accurate to say that it is a mysterious magical place.
In other words, ‘dungeon’ is easy to understand.
A thing made by demons to store treasures and valuables, or to prepare for intruders.
It was also made by a high-ranking demon with a certain purpose.
I didn’t even know which demon made it.
Because it was a world he created himself, there was no way to know all its members.
“I have to get out of here for now.”
I stopped thinking and walked towards the tent blocking my way.
What was rippling like a rising tide looked as if it would crumble if struck.
Let’s try it.
hook-.
He took out a dagger from his waist and stretched it towards the tent.
Tang-.
Then, the curtain returned the power of the dagger and bounced it off.
“It must be difficult.”
As soon as I confirmed him, I gave up the idea of breaking the veil by force.
Maybe later, because I didn’t think that I would be able to break that veil.
Then what should I do?
It’s a mountain beyond a mountain.
“Let’s fill our stomachs and think.”
My stomach hurt from an empty stomach as I was rolling my head.
A feeling of skin sticking to the back.
Come to think of it, I didn’t even eat a meal for a day to kill my presence.
‘I don’t know why the beef jerky is here, but I’d rather eat it.’
His gaze naturally went down.
Beef jerky covered in grease.
I chewed on it and thought about it.
‘The food and bed are probably not for intruders, most likely for treasure keepers. Even that doesn’t make sense.’
Most plausible hypothesis.
A mass of stone lingering in the tent adds strength to this hypothesis.
With a high probability, he will be the guardian of this mysterious place.
He would be infinitely generous to the owner of the unexplored region, but he would show no mercy to intruders.
“Then you have to exercise your skills… … .”
However, it seemed a bit difficult.
He was still quite tired from the fierce battle with the pursuers.
It was clear that he would be seriously injured if he fought with that boulder with a body like this. At least it’s a half sound.
In addition, since there was no way out of this tent, the fight itself was not established.
“Even the mana ran out.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Now was the time to take a break.
Squeeze-.
… … It was only after I ate all the beef jerky piled up like that that I felt like I was alive.
In addition, mana was also restored to some extent. Maybe half of the final value?
“Now that I have a full stomach.”
Let’s make a plan to get out of this veil.
First of all, this place is also unexplored.
If you reach the end by attacking the guardians, there is a high probability that a passage will come out.
It was just speculation, though.
I couldn’t see a way out of this room, so there was no other way than to hit it directly.
So let’s think.
method. way to get out.
I pondered deeply for tens of minutes.
I was looking for some kind of device.
and after a while
While inspecting the stone chamber carefully, my gaze stopped at a certain brick.
I felt an unknown discomfort.
‘If it were me, I wouldn’t have noticed.’
Adele’s senses responded to the brick, which seemed no different from any other.
That’s very suspicious.
I pressed the brick.
Mugwort-.
The brick went deep and a voice rang in my ears.
don’t deserve
“What… … .”
I frowned and removed my hand.
Even though it is a demon world, it speaks the same language as humans.
It is probably because of the setting that humans and demons use a common language because it is difficult to create a new language for demons.
I realized thanks to that.
If you are not the owner of the unexplored region, you cannot step out of the tent.
This room, which was supposed to be a resting place, felt like a prison.
‘I’ll have to find another way.’
What if you say you don’t deserve it?
He ate his appetite with regret, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Another answer must be sought.
“There was a way.”
After minutes of trouble, I got up.
I managed to come up with a way.
At least it was a good enough way to escape this room.
Did you say that you have to go down to make it?
I approached the front of the tent and stared at the moving boulder.
Kurung Kurung -.
Booth… … .
Every time he moved the giant, crumbs of stone fell.
Guardians are creatures, so there’s no help, but those inanimate pieces of stone.
“appointed.”
We exchanged positions towards the fallen stone fragments.
An arrow pointing towards a piece of stone.
It barely reached the end of the stone fragment.
As soon as I saw that figure -.
“movement.”
Changed the position of me and the stone fragment.

The mansion of the high-ranking demon family, ‘Baares’, was very busy.
next three days.
Because it was the day when the daughter of the Baares family entered the ‘unexplored region’.
“… … It’s troublesome.”
The head of Baares, Crete, sighed quietly as she saw the busy servants.
This is one test.
Crete’s daughter was to be verified for admission to Saitan, the Demon World Academy.
However, it was a problem even if he safely attacked the unexplored region and entered Saitan.
‘How can I deal with those who are like devils… … .’
Crete was full of worries.
It was chaotic now.
The Demon King was killed by monstrous humans.
Countless demons lost their lives to their swords.
His daughter had to go to a place created to deal with such people.
after the human war.
The demons hated and feared humans more than ever.
Crete also saw her parents and family members brutally murdered.
Didn’t the daughter even see her mother murdered?
‘I know it shouldn’t be like this.’
I hoped my daughter would fail in the invasion of the unexplored region. In fact, Crete ordered her daughter to fail in the invasion of the unexplored region.
If you can’t even attack the middle-level unexplored region, Saitan won’t force you to enter the school.
But there was a problem.
‘It’s not good to just seek revenge.’
The daughter of Crete, who had lost her mother, hated humans and wanted to enter Saitan.
She is full of skills and talent.
It wouldn’t be a chore to attack the middle-level unexplored region.
But the heroes she will face in the future… … .
It was a time when Crete was immersed in deep anguish with worries and concerns.
“Oh, it’s a big deal!”
A woman opened the door to the office and came in.
She was a maid of the Baares family.
Crete’s eyes widened at the sudden visit.
Dare to visit the head of household without a message.
Still, shouldn’t I hear the reason?
Crete asked the maid while frowning.
“What is it?”
“The news that an unknown guy has entered the unexplored region right now!”
“Unexplained?”
“Yes, yes. Everyone is in confusion now as there is no sign of entering the unexplored door.”
“hmm… … .”
Crete, who had heard everything, let out a low voice.
Did someone get into the mystery?
Crete asked the maid who took a deep breath if she had calmed down.
“Has your identity been revealed?”
“That’s because he touched a device that only the family head could use, so I recognized its existence, but there was no way to see inside the unexplored area, so I couldn’t figure out who it was… … .”
It is a person whose identity cannot be identified.
I don’t know how I got there.
From nob le mt l dot com
No, it seems to know.
I have heard that gates created throughout the Pandemonium during the Manma War remain and forcibly warp someone.
He must have been one of those cases.
“I will probably die.”
“yes?”
“It is nothing.”
Crete shook her head at the surprised maid who asked back.
“There is nothing to worry about, so focus on preparing for my daughter’s exam, which is about to begin.”
“still… … .”
“He said it doesn’t matter.”
“… … All right.”
Kik-.
The maid walked out of Crete’s room.
Crete’s eyes, which were watching the scene, were dimly lit.
‘It’s an intermediate level unexplored area, so it’s certain that you’ll die… … .’
if you live
A story that you might be able to write as your own “words.”
The chances of that happening are slim, though.
‘Let me focus on work.’
Crete stopped thinking and turned her gaze to the pile of papers.
Because I didn’t want to bother with the thought of someone dying anyway.
