#66. Entering the Demon World (2)
“Ugh!”
A ground puppy fell to the sound of white clouds cheering.
“Come at me, man. “Go for it!”
Perhaps because they entered the gate, the monsters’ movements became more intense.
“This body is invincible!”
However, Baekgureum’s steps were just as dazzling.
Perhaps training with Ares wasn’t in vain.
‘The gate has become more powerful than before, but I think Baekgureum can handle this alone.’
Damdeok and Ju Soo-yul moved on, leaving Baek Gu-reum in charge of cleaning up the surroundings.
“Is there really a place inside the gate that leads to the demon world?”
“Well, I haven’t been to the demon world either… .”
A loose answer to the address rate.
It felt strange.
It’s hard to put into words, but something just felt strange.
It feels as if I didn’t know it on purpose.
“I feel like this is the right place. But you… “You didn’t know the way, right?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“You just know everything. “I thought I knew this time too.”
Ju Soo-yul stared at Damdeok.
Then he quietly opened his mouth.
“… “If I had known, I would have told you.”
“yes?”
Damdeok did not ask any more questions.
Because, as always, the message of goodness came to mind in her words.
‘If I hadn’t eaten the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, it would have been hard to believe in this guy.’
I decided to put aside my doubts.
Isn’t he the guy who always helped me?
I have a feeling that he’s hiding something, but it’s probably for naught.
– Keying!
– Keeng!
I lightly cut down the ground puppies and approached the end of the gate.
To be precise, it is not the end, but a place that looks like the end.
“It’s amazing. “No matter what gate you enter, it’s always blocked with this stuff.”
Damdeok placed his hand on the opaque curtain.
The squishy feel was not very pleasant.
‘In the past, they said I couldn’t approach them because my spiritual power was low… .’
It’s quiet for some reason now.
“After all, leveling up is good, right?”
Damdeok, who has become a mid-level god, now has over 100,000 spiritual powers.
Of course, he has not yet unlocked all the unique names and powers of a mid-level god, but this means he is no longer a low-level god crawling along the bottom.
“If the inside of the gate is the entrance to the demon world, then there is no place more suspicious than this.”
An opaque membrane that one cannot always see beyond.
Damdeok looked back at Jusoyul and asked.
“right?”
After a pause, she added:
“yes… be careful.”
Damdeok’s body hesitated for a moment, but eventually he reached out to the tent.
Whoops! Damn it!
As I picked at the squishy film, an unpleasant stickiness stuck to my hand.
‘As expected, it’s definitely different from back then.’
Unlike before, when it felt like a concrete wall, now I felt strongly that I could squeeze through it.
‘little bit more… !’
As I concentrated more of my spiritual power on both arms, the thick membrane began to spread little by little.
Damn it!
At the same time, a notification message popped up like crazy.
[Tiring!]
[The eyes of the abyss are watching you!]
[Tiring!]
[The eyes of the abyss are watching you!]
[Tiring!]
[The eyes of the abyss are looking at you… !]
“damn! Okay, so open up!!”
When I finally pulled back the thick membrane completely, my vision was completely reversed, revealing a new world.
“what. here… .”
The earth, the sky, and the entire world are dark red. Even the passing clouds were blood red.
Damdeok swallowed his saliva without realizing it in such a bizarre atmosphere.
“… It kills the mood. Hey address rate. Does this seem right here? “The demon world.”

Beyond the gate was the real Demon World.
It was surprising that a place called the Demon World actually existed, but it was truly shocking that it existed so close.
‘What on earth? Are the Gate and the Demon World one? Then, are the forgotten gods also in the demon world and not in the gate?’
As I was thinking about this and that, a feeling of fear began to creep in.
‘Gates also appear in the human world, so if you cross the gate from the demon world to the human world… .’
The faces of countless acquaintances passing by. Of all the things, my mother’s face came to mind the clearest.
“After monsters, there are demons… Hey, is it okay for a place called the Demon World to be this close?”
Instead of answering, Juryul was seriously wary of his surroundings.
Extreme vigilance.
It’s the first time I’ve seen him so anxious.
“what’s the matter?”
“… “It’s so quiet.”
It was real.
This dark red world, called the Demon World, was strangely quiet.
A silence as if there were no living things.
As I listened quietly, I felt goosebumps.
– will?
Baekseol, who was crouching behind the lion skin, peeks out his head.
The thing trembled and quickly burrowed back into its skin.
‘Anyway… ‘I’m just too scared.’
Because the lion armor was transparent in an invisibility mode, Snow White liked to hide in it even in normal times.
“Well, since there’s no one there, there’s no need to fight, so it’s good.”
First, let’s find out if it’s a hellish furnace or something.
As long as you get the rare demon power, you can never come to this unpleasant place again.
“where… But shouldn’t we have to give directions again from here?”
While Damdeok was fiddling with the system, Jusoyul spoke in a serious voice.
“… I guess I don’t feel well. “Let’s go back.”
Damdeok’s eyes widened.
“what? Are you saying that the power of demons is extremely rare? They said that if I receive it, I will become much stronger than I am now… why?”
It was absurd.
At the same time, it was questionable.
I’m not usually the type of person to change opinions like this… .
Ju Soo-yul opened his mouth with great nervousness.
“The Demon World is a place filled with numerous demons and monsters. But there’s no one around right now. Do you know what this means?”
“… Well, did you all go to the furnace together?”
“… … .”
When I laughed and joked, Ju Soo-yul looked at me with a pitiful face.
I shrugged my shoulders.
She sighed softly and added.
“… It means there is a top predator nearby. He must be so scary that no one can approach him. I got the day wrong. “We have to withdraw today.”
Joo Joo-yul gestured with his hand to go back.
I had no choice but to follow whatever was said.
‘Because he knows more than me… There must be a reason.’
Since I only walked a few steps after coming here, it wasn’t difficult to go back.
Damn it! Tsuaaang!
When I opened the curtain,
Suddenly, a chilling wind blew from somewhere.
Saaah.
Damdeok instinctively looked back.
‘what… ?’
A shape seen in the distance.
Something as small as a dot was slowly approaching.
“Go quickly!”
Jusoyul shouted loudly.
But it was strange.
‘what. ‘My body doesn’t move.’
Suddenly my whole body stopped moving.
‘Why is this happening! ‘Why are you like this!’
No voice comes out.
A situation where you can’t even lift a finger.
Ssssss.
When the curtain that you had worked so hard to open is closing again before your eyes,
A black shape was reflected in the opaque film.
Slowly but quickly it was approaching.
Thump thump.
My heart started beating violently.
‘… what. ‘That.’
I felt fear for the first time in my life.
An unpleasant feeling of helplessness swirled around my entire body.
When he finally saw the face of a black figure reflected in the screen, Damdeok was so shocked that it took his breath away.
Although I had never seen him since I was born, I knew Damdeok.
Its name is devil.
“… “f*ck you.”
Those were not the words Damdeok uttered.
It was the address rate.
“You have to run away!! “Go out with all your might!!”
[ㄴㅜ… ㄱㅜ… Mmm… ㄷㅐ… ㄹㅗ… ?]
At the same time as a creepy voice is heard,
Quang! Pow! Tsuaaang!
A huge shock was felt on his back, and Damdeok lost consciousness.
* * *
‘Where am I?’
A field spread out like a panorama.
Damdeok was standing in the middle of it.
It was strange.
My body was as light as a feather.
That moment,
“I won!”
“Okay, you won.”
The voices of children are heard.
About four or five years old?
A boy runs towards me, swinging a stick.
The girl just followed behind him with a smile.
“I am the greatest warrior in the world!”
A boy passed by Damdeok.
‘uh… ?’
Damdeok’s body suddenly stiffened.
‘That face… .’
The boy’s face was so familiar.
“Haha! Look at this! “I defeated the villain!”
A boy is smiling while raising a stick on a hill.
I looked at the child blankly.
‘Of course. You look just like me when I was young… .’
I suddenly had a dream I never dreamed of.
Did I miss old memories?
But it was strange.
Because the background of this place was too unfamiliar to bring back memories.
‘No matter how you look at it, it’s not Korea… .’
I was born with no talent and have never traveled abroad, so why did this background come up in my dream?
Before he knows it, the girl following him passes by Damdeok, who looks confused.
“Oh, wait… !”
Suddenly, I grabbed the girl’s hand.
A girl who seems particularly close to her childhood self.
I was curious.
The girl slowly turned around.
“… … !!!”
Damdeok had no choice but to remain frozen.
“… Address rate?”
It was a very young face, but it was unmistakable. Clear features and expressionless face.
The girl grinned and ran towards the boy.
Damdeok looked at the children blankly.
“what. This dream… It’s all mixed up… .”
It was after I discovered talent that I met Ju Soo-yul.
It doesn’t make sense that I knew this guy when I was so young… .
“It’s a really strange dream… .”
Damdeok’s vision, who was muttering, suddenly changes.
As if passing through a tunnel of light, several memories passed by like flashes of light.
Damdeok took a step back without realizing it.
They are all… They were all memories of Ju Soo-yul and himself together.
And in different times and spaces.
The two were always fighting together.
‘what. What is this? !’
I waved my arms and struggled.
I wanted to escape from this flood of memories.
The moment I close my eyes and open them again,
Damdeok was in another space.
Grumble!
Inside the burning city.
A man was lying on the ground in a city that was burning red.
‘… driving me crazy. ‘Why are my dreams so wild?’
This is also my first time seeing this city.
A place I have never been to before.
Before my eyes, the man was dying, his entire body covered in blood. His entire body was in tatters, as if he had been attacked by a monster.
‘No way, that guy…’ .’
Damdeok swallowed his saliva.
Although only the back of his head was visible, it looked eerily familiar.
‘That can’t be possible. No way… .’
As I was about to approach the man to check his face, a woman walked out of the alley.
The woman approached the bloodied man and carefully picked him up.
“trillion… If ㅇ… porridge… grave… ”
Shoot!
It’s hard to hear what the woman is saying due to the heavy raindrops.
‘what… ? I can’t hear very well… .’
I walked towards it as if I was possessed.
The closer we got, the stronger the raindrops became.
Shoot!
Eventually, when I got quite close,
A woman’s voice could be heard vividly through the heavy raindrops.
“You can’t die… do not die… “Don’t die, Yu Dam-deok!!”
Flashing.
My eyes opened.
“omg… ! Huh… .”
Inside the white hospital room.
Everyone was looking at Damdeok with surprised eyes.
Iris’ Cheongunak, Sangun’s Namgung Doeok, and even the medical staff wearing white gowns.
“… “Are you okay?”
Namgung Do-eok asks carefully.
Damdeok slowly got up.
A very vivid dream.
The excitement did not go away easily.
I opened my mouth cautiously.
“… “Where is it?”
“huh? “Who are you talking about?”
Damdeok’s eyes turned cold.
“Address rate… “Where are you now?”
