scheduled time.

“Is it almost time?”

Xian, who was yawning on the floor, stood up.

The eastern section, with no owner and no sea, was infinitely peaceful.

As I lay down so close to the sacred barrier, I couldn’t tell if I was in Pahe’s Forest or just having a picnic.

To Helmut, Area, and Asuka’s chagrin, Xian was very comfortable.

Although it won’t be like that on the way back.

“Let me see, Adamantium?”

Xian took out the adamantium and activated it. The extending beam of light pointed to somewhere in the barrier that was only ten steps away.

It was almost in line with the ground. The barrier is not that thick.

Xian prepared his mind and headed towards the barrier. She felt more and more resistance, as if her whole body was being pushed. The magical power in his body is colliding with his divine power.

‘It’s harder than I thought.’

Overcome this semi-resilient force, as if going against the current, and install adamantium.

It would consume a huge amount of magical energy, but since it was possible, Area would have ordered it.

As soon as Xian came out of the barrier, he put down the magic stone bag within arm’s reach.

“Okay, let’s finish it quickly.”

Xian took a deep breath and walked into the sacred barrier. Feeling a pressure pressing down on her whole body.

Soon, adamantium was activated within the barrier.

*

The sacred barrier was shaken. Although it wasn’t actually shaken to the naked eye, you could feel it once you were the ruler of the area.

Ygrel looked towards the barrier.

[Oh? Some impatient guy started first. It really seems like the barrier has changed a bit? Even though it might be one end and the other end.]

“I guess I should start too.”

At that moment, Charlotte was also standing up. Unlike Xian, who was literally lying down and spread out, Charlotte was sitting upright and meditating. He was biding his time.

Ygrel opened his mouth without thinking.

[I heard it was your family who betrayed Helmut, right? But it looks like they believe in you.]

“What do you mean by that?”

[You are a prosecutor, and if you want to mess up the job, all you have to do is throw away the adamantium, pass through the southern barrier, and go away. Oh, you can do that too. Because my job is to get you here. I think that would be fun in its own way.]

Ygrel’s eyes sparkled. It sounds like a monster. Maybe it even seemed innocent.

However, the stubborn Charlotte did not give in to this because the opponent was a monster.

“It is rude to say such things. But if your intention was to offend me, you succeeded.”

Igrell was pricked when he responded with a serious expression to a light reply.

‘W-what is it? ‘Why do I treat people like that?’

Charlotte walked toward the barrier without even looking at Igrel.

A little resistance. Clearly, what she felt was a weaker sensation than what her eyes felt.

The light emitted by adamantium became darker. It felt strange, as if I was passing through an opaque membrane. Charlotte thought as she raised Bis and dug into the sacred barrier.

‘I hope the other side can finish the job safely as well.’

The operation was soon completed.

*

[It has begun. It came just in time. It looks like the other barrier has already started operating]

Elaga hit Asuka, who was lying on her back, with her tail.

From his point of view, it was a slap, but Asuka was hit hard. His guts were already shaken enough to shake.

Asuka slid down to the floor and immediately put her knees on the ground and placed her hands on her hands. Like a sailor happy to land on land. It was an ecstatic touch.

“Wook! “I’m really dying.”

Asuka spat on the floor. She looked like she was going to pour out whatever she had eaten, so she had nothing to vomit.

Elaga glanced at him and narrowed her eyes.

[If you had vomited on my back, I would have chewed you up and eaten it.]

“Who told you to run so ignorantly?”

Asuka grumbled. Fortunately, I was able to take a break in the middle this time. Because Asuka deliberately made herself look like she was going to vomit.

Elaga didn’t care about Asuka’s condition, but since she cared so much about her fur, she didn’t want such a smelly situation.

Elaga nodded towards the barrier and opened her mouth. Because she approached quite close to the barrier, the divine power exerted by her made me feel uncomfortable.

[We’re here, come on in! After I finish, I have to go pick up that guy who is talking about Xian or something. Looking at what you are doing, he must be in trouble because he couldn’t kill even a single monster.]

After all, humans are a weak race that he must take care of. Asuka stood up.

“Drop me in the central area before heading east. “I won’t follow you there.”

[He is a man without loyalty.]

“He’s so loyal and reckless, he could have just stayed still and installed adamantium on the spot and it would have been over. What kind of trouble is this? Are you sure you didn’t do that to me on purpose?”

Doubt arose. Grumbling coolly, Asuka immediately took out adamantium. He deliberately moved towards the aesthetic barrier.

This is because I realized that as soon as it was over, I would have to hang on Elaga’s back again.

“That way.”

A beam of adamantium light pointed somewhere in the sky above the ground. Asuka walked towards it without hesitation.

He is a stronger swordsman than Charlotte. Because of that, it was easier for him to enter her sacred barrier than for her.

Among those heading in the four directions, he would be the easiest to enter the barrier.

When the adamantium was placed in the designated location, it emitted white light.

On the spot, something like an invisible white crystal appeared and then disappeared. As if it had been consumed by the light emitted by adamantium. It is the core of the barrier.

“Is it over? “It’s simple.”

Anything inside the sacred barrier eats away at the vis. Asuka, who jumped out of the barrier, suddenly muttered.

“Charlotte and Xian will succeed easily, and the only ones left are Area and Helmut… … . Well, since the two of us went together, we’ll take care of it, right?”

The results could be confirmed in the central region.

*

The three adamantium operations, west, east, and south, have been completed. Now only the north remains.

Since the two strongest humans among humans had stepped forward, the north thought that there would be no problem even if Kantra, the ruler of the northern region, was there.

It was like that even for Elaga. He was ignoring Helmut, but that was only because he easily overpowered him.

It was said that if Elaga’s instincts were as good as Helmut’s and Area’s, he would be able to deal with Kantra, the ruler of the northern region.

So he obediently let them go.

But the environment was a problem. It was unexpected that they would meet in the sea north of Elagado.

For Elaga, the Forest of Pahe was a space that existed on land, not on water.

Helmut and Area were approaching the northern sacred barrier. Without slowing down until the very end.

It was a short distance that could be reached in 3 minutes if you ran at full speed.

So the reason they didn’t feel it wasn’t because they were careless. It is inevitable that your senses will become paralyzed the closer you get to the sacred barrier.

There was no sign. It was as if something that had been quietly sinking beneath the water suddenly soared, and as soon as they approached, it woke up.

An unexpected presence.

“Get back!”

As soon as Helmut shouted, Area pulled back the sleigh. As soon as they fell in, the ice below shattered.

Kwasizik, Kwasizik! It’s like a situation where you almost fall into a trap. Area felt cold and frowned.

“Is it a monster?”

“No, that… … .”

The sea water beneath the broken ice was black from the inside. As if absorbing light. Black magic energy spreads out like paint and colors the sea.

There was a violent whirlpool rising there. As the surrounding ice swirled and shattered, the whirlpool opened its huge maw.

There was a bastard in the middle of that maw.

“Kantra.”

Helmut chanted the name heavily. The thing that caused the whirlpool was a turtle as large as Ella.

Unlike the black demonic energy that spewed out around its body, it had a golden shell. It is a deep golden color that makes your eyes sparkle. The limbs were a lighter maroon color.

Helmut muttered.

“If all that shell were gold, it would be worth a lot of money.”

“Is it time for jokes?”

Area lost her temper. As if he had just opened his eyes after falling asleep, his golden eyes were revealed beneath his eyelids.

[Elaga’s… … It smells… … It flies. center… … In the area… … that… … leopard! Naho… … Killed it… … dodge. You guys… … Who are you?]

The speed at which he spoke was so slow that it almost made me feel sick. Golden pupils were focused on Area and Helmut.

‘Since you are the ruler of each area, why are you fighting around the barrier?’

Ygrel said it was out of curiosity, but this Kantra would have no reason to do so.

Did he appear at the last moment as the ruler of the area? We’re almost there, but the only hurdle left is Kantra.

‘This is a damn situation.’

Area opened her mouth.

“We are just humans with business in the sacred barrier. Please let me pass. “I will be leaving soon.”

[Elaga’s… … It smells… … It’s dark. Elaga… … me… … To eat him… … I sent you… … ! reconnaissance… … To do it, right?]

For a moment, Kantra’s momentum, which seemed to be slow, changed drastically. The demonic energy surged fiercely from the guy’s body.

Quad deuk! The vortex grew bigger and shattered the ice even closer to where Area and Helmut were. Area moved the sled back a little further.

Helmut observed his opponent.

‘I don’t think the sword will stick properly.’

Thick skin and shell. The fatal abdomen is submerged beneath the water. It goes without saying, but even for Helmut, it would have been impossible for him to dive under the water and punch out the turtle’s stomach. Area tried to talk calmly.

“We are not here to scout. We just have business in the sacred barrier. Elaga has no intention of harming you.”

[I’m not lying… … Mara! That leopard… … first… … From the moment I saw it… … I did. to me… … Turtle meat… … what… … I wonder if it tastes good! Eat me… … I wanted to… … !]

Wariness and murderous intent bloomed in Kantra’s eyes.

Perhaps it was a long, long time ago that they encountered each other. Elaga, who had said it without thinking, would not have even remembered what she had said.

[That’s right… … The number… … None! You… … Send me alive… … I won’t!]

The demonic energy surging from Kantra’s whole body became more intense. I don’t think words will make sense. Originally, he seemed to have a personality full of victim mentality and caution.

Upon encountering an intruder with Elaga’s scent on it, he was taken over by the thought of killing it and getting rid of it.

Area let out a sigh.

“… … “I lost my senses after being alone in cold water for a long time.”
