It took quite a while for the downstream to calm down.
“… … I’m sorry, brother. “It looked disgraceful.”
“It’s okay, I already expected that much anyway.”
Muyoung.
So, Jinhyeok still remembers Ha-ryu crying when he met Genno.
Therefore, it was well within the predictable range of how the downstream would react when they saw the ruined goblin village.
“I’m embarrassed.”
“Sister, don’t cry.”
“… … “Thank you, Miho.”
Ha-ryu smiled bitterly at the sight of Miho worrying about him, making drops with her snot.
It was a smile that was a mixture of gratitude and appreciation for Miho, who shared her sorrow by her side while she was wailing.
“Sniff, do it. Sniff!”
“Keuuuuuu!”
“That’s right, you’re good.”
“Am I good at it?”
“Good job Miho.”
“Hi-Hi.”
Jinhyuk, who was looking at Ha-Ryu cleaning up and wiping Miho’s messed up face, soon turned his head to look at the others.
“I don’t feel any energy inside.”
“But the opponents are very good at hiding their energy. Needless to say, he’ll be hiding inside.”
Hendrick always said with the same expression that there would be an enemy lurking inside, but Jinhyeok shook his head.
“But we still need to check internally.”
“… … “That’s right.”
I had to check at least to find out what happened in the goblin village.
‘We need to know what happened here and what traces remain.’
I know why the goblin village, which boasted the size of a decent city, collapsed in less than a day.
But it is still unclear how on earth that was possible.
‘Did someone of Kyung-hoon’s level step forward? Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.’
However, if a member of the Four Emperors family, such as Choi Kyung-hoon, stepped forward, it would be a different story.
800th floor.
A climber who has reached that distant height.
If it were a member of the Four Emperors, its strength would be twice as strong as that of a climber on the same level.
of course-
‘Kyung-hoon is not easy either. However, the problem is that his wounds have not fully healed yet… … I don’t know if I’ll be okay.’
Choi Gyeong-hoon was not a very easy climber either.
In any case, although he was wounded by the Four Emperors of the same layer, he did not die.
“So, to sum it up, the Four Emperors and their subordinates are currently hiding inside, and it’s not clear whether or not there will be someone who reduced this village to ruins in just one day, right?”
“yes.”
“The answer is decided, then.”
“… … “With what?”
Jinhyuk replied with a grin as he looked at Hendrick, who was looking at him with a look of uncertainty on his face.
“I’ll have to go in first.” * * *
As the leader of the group, Jinhyeok’s decision is absolute.
And since the purpose of coming here in the first place was to explore the inside of the goblin village, even if there were some people lurking inside, I had to go in at all costs.
“I’m nervous.”
Where the main gate of the goblin village was.
Standing in front of the now ruined place, Ha-ryu rubbed his chest and tried to relieve his tightness.
It would be natural to be nervous not because of the powerful and powerful enemies lurking within this town, but because it was a village I was visiting again after a long year.
Tub-
To relieve Ha-Ryu’s tension, Jin-Hyeok placed his hand on Ha-Ryu’s shoulder and said,
“Relax. This is your hometown, right? “What makes you so nervous about returning home?”
“… … Yes. Phew, I feel a little better now.”
Ha-ryu, who had relaxed thanks to Jin-hyuk, smiled and nodded.
What does it matter if a person from his hometown returns to his hometown?
Even though it is in ruins and its appearance has changed, the fact that the goblin village is its hometown does not change.
With those thoughts in mind, Ha-ryu carefully crossed the ruined main gate.
“… … ah!”
“… … It’s okay to say this, but… … “It’s terrible.”
“Tsk, their personalities are well known, so I expected it… … “I ruined it so clearly.”
The scenery beyond the main gate.
As soon as they saw that, Ha-Ryu let out a sigh full of sadness.
After that, Balkan and Choi Kyung-hoon also added a word.
And even though they didn’t say anything, other people were also thinking the same thing.
Even though I only passed the main gate, I could clearly see that most of the village was destroyed.
“… … “Black.”
In the end, tears welled up in the obsidian eyes of the downstream.
However, there was no loud wailing like before.
I just couldn’t bear the sadness and it turned into tears.

Downstream, he stood firm, taking in the panoramic view of the ruined village.
Sigh-
He places his hand on the ruined ruins and smoothes it out gently.
“This was Kurin’s house, that was Aunt Miko’s house. Also, there is a blacksmith shop that makes things like village weapons and hoes… … .”
He carefully walked through the village, drawing the scenery of the village he remembered amidst the ruins.
The sight of Haru, placing his hand on the wreckage, trying to remember its location, and smiling brightly every time he realized whose house it was or what kind of building it was, was like an angel from heaven.
How many times have we looked around the ruins of a huge goblin village so close to a city?
“downstream.”
“… … “I felt it too, brother.”
Jinhyeok called Ha-ryu, and Ha-ryu also erased the smile from before and held the dagger that Mu-young had made with a stiff face.
The downstream thought was that if necessary, one could hold the Dragon Slayer Sword, but there was no need to hold the Dragon Slayer Sword right away.
And it was the right choice.
“It’s an intruder! intruder!”
“Kkkyakya! “That guy is a ghost!”
“Oh oh! “They are the ones Hetz mentioned!”
“I thought I was going to die because I was so sick of waiting!”
Laughter.
Those whose voices were full of joy were those who boasted dark skin.
But it was different from the dark elves.
Because the tips of the ears of those who appeared now were blunt rather than pointed.
Yes, the people who have appeared now are none other than-
“It’s Mine.”
It was Mine.
Climbers who became possessed by demon energy, were eaten by it, and were transformed.
However, because their strength is real, they are beings that cannot be ignored, even if they are laughed at.
Jinhyeok and his colleagues frowned at their appearance.
“The welcome was very rough from the start.”
“It’s not bad, it’s perfect for warming up.”
“Khaha! Mine? “I’ll blow your head off!”
Hendrick and Choi Gyeong-hoon, who started from Balkan, smiled slightly at the appearance of the horsemen.
It was only natural that they were already starting to get a little bored with the situation where no one showed up.
However, it was the downstream that showed the most passionate reaction.
“… … Who says I’m an intruder? “This is our village.”
Crack-
My teeth suddenly grind together.
The body reacted simultaneously with the downstream thoughts.
Goblin village.
Whether it was okay or not, it was the hometown of the downstream and the village of the downstream.
The sight of ‘real’ intruders calling themselves intruders even though they had just set foot in such a village was truly abominable by the standards of the lower class.
so that.
“Red jade.”
Quaaaaaaaaa!
A bead made of condensed red flames held in Haryu’s hand.
As soon as the ruby was thrown towards the demons, it exploded and red-hot flames flickered out.
“… … fire?”
“This is no ordinary fire! Everyone, take out your demon energy!”
“… … “Kaaaaap!”
Fuwaaaaak!
The demons, taken aback by the sudden surprise attack and powerful attack, urgently released their magical energy.
Black Magi.
The demonic energy that absorbs even light began to respond to the red flames created by Hongok.
Chi-Ik-
The burning demon energy created acrid black smoke, but the demons protected by the demon energy were fine.
“Damn it, the Magi that Hetsu gave me!”
“Damn you little boy, how dare you use my Magi!”
However, the important problem was that their magical energy was being ‘consumed’.
“Brother? Why do these people do that? “It seems like he’s more upset about being drained of his magical energy than about being attacked.”
Strange appearance.
Those who are obviously angry or should be angry about being attacked are trying to put out the fire as much as possible and reduce the consumption of magical energy.
It did not look like an ordinary climber.
At least it was an unfamiliar sight to the lower class.
And it was a familiar sight to Jinhyuk and the others.
“Kid, I don’t think you know, but these guys’ magic is more important than life.”
“… … yes? why?”
Ha-ryu had to tilt his head to the words of Choi Kyung-hoon, who laughed and pointed at the demons with a sneer.
Magi is ultimately one of energy.
A climber’s strength is not determined by energy.
Such energy is consumed and replenished repeatedly.
Naturally, energy is not important to climbers.
but-
“Kid, you think that energy is consumed and then recovered, right?”
“… … “Isn’t it obvious?”
“… … Tsk, Cha Jin-hyuk, that bastard completely destroyed my childish thoughts.”
“yes? “Why are you talking about your brother?”
Seeing Choi Kyung-hoon clicking his tongue and glaring at Jin-hyuk, Ha-ryu felt like he was falling further and further into the labyrinth.
However, after listening to Choi Kyung-hoon’s next words, he realized that he had been thinking about something wrong.
“Why do you think Magi will recover on her own? Cha Jin-hyuk Because that guy recovers his magical energy? “It’s just that he’s special, a mutant, and an deviant.”
“… … ah!”
The natural recovery of magical energy.
Since Jinhyuk has always been like that naturally, it was natural that everyone thought he would be like that.
But that is only possible because Jinhyuk is special.
“All of the demonic energy comes from the demons they follow. In other words, you have to go to the demons to replenish the demon energy that decreases each time you use it. And they never give free magic.”
“… … then?”
“A huge price. Even if you have the ability to pay the price, if it happens a few times, you will end up broke in no time. The biggest reason why they are trying to reduce the consumption of demon energy is that it is difficult to obtain demon energy. He probably received demon energy in exchange for coming to the goblin village… … .”
“Ultimately, it will be used up at some point, so you are trying to reduce the consumption even a little.”
“Yes, strength in the tower is like a drug. The decline in the magical energy that gives strength is also the same as the decline in the drugs of druggies. Maybe stronger. Do you understand now?”
“… … Yes, I feel even more inclined to burn off the demonic energy of those people and cut them down.”
“… … Good answer. “That’s enough.”
When a satisfactory answer came back, Kyung-Hoon Choi smiled and nodded.
You just have to learn what you don’t know.
If you know something wrong, you can teach it properly.
The important thing is the attitude to fix and the attitude to learn.
In that respect, Ha-Ryu was completely in Choi Kyung-Hoon’s heart.
‘I try to learn what I don’t know, and even if I make a mistake, I am willing to correct it.’
Drawing on pure white paper is easy.
But erasing it is difficult.
Ha-ryu draws his own drawings on pure white paper, and in the process, he does not hesitate to get help from other artists and tries to correct his drawings by erasing them.
It was when Choi Kyung-hoon was satisfied with that appearance.
“Damn it, everyone come out!”
“If you hit them, your demon energy will be doubled!”
“That little boy is mine! Damn it, how burned is Magi? Damn it!”
The demons who had taken care of the rubble’s flames began swearing and calling out to their other colleagues.
Ha-ryu frowned as more than a dozen more demons appeared, and was about to take his hand off the dagger and place his hand on the dragon slayer sword.
Tub-
“I will do it.”
Jinhyeok came closer and lightly grabbed Ha-ryu’s shoulder, blocking her attempt to pull out the dragon slayer sword.
and.
“Awake.”
The moment a low voice echoed throughout the goblin village.
Coo coo coo coo-
The tremors that started in Jinhyeok’s whole body were transmitted to the earth and spread throughout the goblin village.
At the same time-
“It’s been a while.”
“Mine? Okay, I’ll use it as food for the private soldiers.”
“… … “Can we just deal with them?”
Tune, Basil, Ashur Hum.
Three spirit soldiers appeared in the goblin village.
Jinhyeok nodded to those who were looking at him and waiting for orders and stamped his feet.
thud-
A heavy rumbling spread, and spirit soldiers and undead slowly emerged through the vibrations.
“Wipe them out. “If you beat the dogs, the owner will come out.”
“yes.”
“Good!”
“I will follow your orders.”
The demons who were waiting for Jinhyeok and his colleagues in the goblin village in exchange for being called Magi.
A disaster called soul disease befell them.
