Episode 118
Sgail (1)
A few hours before entering the demon world.
Jeong Do announced to the guild members that he would be going on an expedition alone. In fact, he wanted to take other guild members with him, but conditions were not available. The level of the guild members was not the problem, it was the condition itself.
The degree reminded me of Ixia’s information.
<Ixia of Foresight and Transition (Level 4)>
Rank: Mythic
<This is one of the 13 weapons created by Ixia, the dragon of wisdom, with all her might. It has the power to always guide users to the right path. The more the seal is released, the more powerful the effect becomes. Currently, <Ixia of Transfer> has been absorbed.>
<Dragon of Wisdom Ixia (2/13)>
Talent: <Perception-lv.2> <Analysis-lv.2>
Growth rate: 3%
<Effect 1: Increases mana by 8, strength by 8, stamina by 8, reflexes by 8, and mana sensitivity by 8>
<Effect 2: Skill <Predatory Growth> can be used>
<Effect 3: You can understand the target’s intention. As the seal is lifted, the accuracy increases.>
<Effect 4: Can create a dimensional gate that connects to another universe. (Limited to 1 person) (Cooldown 7 days)>
<Currently registered coordinates (2/3)>
<1. Earth, the 37th planet in the universe 2. The planet in the 11th universe, Sugail 3. (Unregistered)>
This morning.
The Seal of Ixia, which has steadily digested Orochi, has finally entered the next stage and has become mythic. Thanks to this, not only the existing functions of Ixia but also the functions obtained by absorbing <Ixia of Transition> were all improved.
Originally there were only two registered coordinates, but one more has been added, and the cooldown for gate creation has also been reduced from 30 days to 7 days. Thanks to this, I was able to travel back and forth between the Demon World and Earth every seven days. As a guild leader, I was worried about being away for a long time, but the cooldown was reduced just at the right time.
However, despite all the performance improvements, there was still only one person who could travel to Ixia’s Gate.
In the end, this invasion of the demon world was also carried out by Jeong-do alone. Jeongdo finished preparing for his expedition and said hello to the guild members.
“Have a nice trip! older brother! No, SSS guild leader!”
Haesik said with a grin. Jeongdo’s expression was slightly crumpled.
The period during which the guild name can be corrected is within 2 weeks after the guild is first created. That is, 14 days.
As I was not very happy with the existing guild name, I was naturally planning to change it, but as the 3rd cataclysm was predicted through <Information Draw>, all my attention was focused on that.
10 days to prepare for the 3rd cataclysm.
And due to the unexpected time difference between the dungeon and the Earth, the opportunity to correct the guild name was lost as 5 days were wasted.
In the end, the guild’s name was Triple S.
I thought it was a very embarrassing guild name, but the reactions of other guild members were not bad. Needless to say, Haesik, who came up with the name himself, Seo-yoon and Cheol-yoon also nodded. Even Tinia said she liked the tone… To some extent, I decided to accept reality.
“Then I’ll see you in a week.”
After saying hello to the guild members, Jeongdo returned to his home. And he checked all his equipment one last time.
The inventory is filled with food, combat, and survival equipment.
It was enough to comfortably last a month even in a place where there was no one else.
<Then we will open the gate! Be careful of dizziness!>
Jijijijik.
Along with Ixia’s voice, a crack was created in front of Jeongdo’s eyes.
It looks exactly like a dungeon.
But this wasn’t a dungeon. Normally, there is a concept of ‘clearing’ a dungeon, but it wasn’t a crack right in front of you. What you do there depends entirely on your will.
As soon as I went to the Demon World, I could immediately go to the enemy leadership and engage in battle.
Or they could just explore and return to Earth.
‘Let’s go ahead and make a detailed plan.’
First, understand the situation. Even if a plan was made without any information about the demon world, there was a high possibility that it would be a meaningless plan.
I poured mana into the gate with half the excitement of the unknown and half the tension of having to face a powerful enemy.
* * * * * *
“… “What is this?”
After completing the transfer, I could only mutter that. I was prepared for the demon world environment, but this was a very unexpected situation.
Jeongdo couldn’t believe the current situation, so he looked around.
Actually, there was nothing to do other than look around. Because the space we are in right now is very narrow.
A space that appears to be about 5 meters wide. Was it about 3m high? It was a narrow and dark space.
The ceiling, floor, sides, and back were completely blocked by walls. And the rest of the front was also blocked. Instead, it was blocked by something else compared to the other side being blocked by a solid wall.
grating.
At least I spit out the words that came to my mind without realizing it.
“prison?”
<It looks like that.>
“It’s absurd.”
Jeong Do was taken aback by the completely different appearance of the Demon World than he had imagined.
Although it may be a preconceived notion, isn’t there an image that comes to mind when you hear the word ‘demon world’?
The poisonous air that weak creatures cannot survive even for a moment.
A scene where the red sky is filled with hellfire and disgusting monsters are eating each other.
It was a somewhat vain sight, as I had prepared for a bloody battle upon entering the Demon World.
‘Anyway, let’s start by investigating the surroundings.’
Jeongdo was embarrassed for a moment, but soon regained his composure.
There is no common sense in the dungeon.
Even though this was not a dungeon, it was a phrase that could be used in another world as well. I looked around calmly, keeping in mind that anything could happen.
‘There are a lot of prisons.’
Outside the iron bars, beyond the hallway, there were numerous iron bars. And I could feel the energy of other beings inside those iron bars. Although it was old and dilapidated, it appeared to be functioning properly as a prison.

As soon as I understood the structure of the prison, I opened the status window.
‘Winry clearly told me to use <Information Draw>.’
Since ancient times, a man has said that as long as he listens carefully to what the three women say, everything will be easy.
First mother.
Second wife.
And the third is Winry.
For the most part, I opened the status window and used <Information Draw> as Winry had told me.
Faaat.
A capsule that only Jeong-do could see appeared in the air.
Green capsule.
The capsule that provided information on the crack leading to Sky Island in the past has reappeared. Soon the green capsule broke and a notification window appeared in front of me.
Tiring!
<One of the universes ruled by the Demon World. You have arrived at ‘Sgail’. Sguil was originally a peaceful universe that did not belong to the Demon World, but was colonized by the Demon World’s invasion. This universe is currently being used as a logistics base for the Demon World.>
<If we can inflict a heavy blow on the demons occupying Sugail, we can greatly weaken the invasion of the demon world. Defeat Sguil’s demons. Damage inflicted on the Demon World is calculated as an achievement and compensation is paid.>
<Talent <Communication-lv.3> and <Game-lv.3> are activated. Presents goals more intuitively.>
Immediately after such a notification appeared, a new long notification window appeared before my eyes.
<Defeat Kelsad, ruler of Sgayl – point 10000
Destroy the demon’s equipment warehouse – point 1000
Destroy the demon’s food storage – point 1000
.
.
.
.
Defeat lesser demons – point 1.>
<Achievement points can be exchanged for rewards from Winry later.>
“This is why Winry told me to use <Information Draw>.”
The long notification window that appeared before Jeong-do’s eyes was in a format he had seen before.
In Kaumka’s dungeon that I entered with Sanghee, Do-do’s <Communication> and <Game> interacted to present what to do in a game-like way.
This time too, Jeong Do’s talent was activated without exception, and thanks to this, he was able to intuitively know what to do in the demon world.
‘In one word, it means to play havoc.’
I’m confident about that.
Jeongdo approached the iron bars. Although I had an outline of what to do in the demon world, the most urgent task was to escape from this prison.
After touching the iron bars a few times, he nodded.
‘This is enough to cut it.’
I was nervous because the Demon World was a higher universe than Earth, but it didn’t seem to be a place where science was as advanced as I thought. Jeongdo changed the King of All Diseases into the form of Cheonggang Sword. And just as he was about to swing towards the iron bars.
Kwaaaaang!
“W-what?!”
The entire building began to shake with a loud explosion sound. And then I started hearing shouting from afar.
“Find Your Majesty!”
“Drive out the dirty demon bastards!”
The shouting began to get closer and closer. Jeong-do was able to grasp the situation immediately.
Combining the information in the notification window I just saw and the sound I was hearing right now, I could easily guess.
‘They are the indigenous people of this place!’
And to save His Majesty, who was imprisoned in this prison, he must have broken through the prison and entered. I was thinking about how to find the indigenous people, but I never thought they would show up from the other side first. It was off to a good start from my first entry into the Demon World.
At that time, two huge demons began to pass by the prison where Jeong-do was imprisoned. Seeing that their appearance was not that different from the demons I had encountered so far, it seemed clear that they were demons that were not native to this place.
“Ah, these guys are back again. “Isn’t it boring?”
“The things that are weak are extremely tough. I don’t understand Kelthaad’s policy. “It would be enough to kill all the weak lower races like that.”
The two demons appeared to be guards guarding the prison. They were very relaxed even though it was clear that someone had invaded them. I felt like I had been through this situation a lot.
“huh? What is this guy? “Were there people like this in prison?”
Of the two demons, the one with the face of a lizard looked at the scale and spoke. The other demon also reacted to those words.
“This is my first time seeing this guy too. hey. What is your name… .”
It was then.
Quang!
The sound of a door breaking was heard near the prison where Jeong-do was imprisoned, and soon a group of people came rushing in. They were made up of various races.
Humans, dwarves, beastmen, and even those who appear to be fairies.
It was unclear whether they were truly the same race as the known race, but at least they looked that way.
Among them, the short-haired human at the forefront shouted at the demons.
“You dirty demons! “Free your Majesty quickly!”
The human in the lead drew his sword and shouted excitedly, but his arm was trembling slightly. It was because she already knew that she could never be an opponent of demons.
And the same goes for demons. The lizard-faced demon opened his mouth as if he was really annoyed.
“You bastards. You still can’t accept reality. If you want to ask for something, have the power to do so. “In a world ruled by the demon world, only strength is justice.”
The lizard-faced demon who spoke so far pulled out the sword from his belt. And he spoke to his fellow demon next to him.
“hey. Kale. You should investigate that suspicious guy. In the meantime, I’ll take care of those guys. “It won’t take long.”
“That’s difficult.”
“huh?”
The lizard-faced demon looked at his fellow demon for a different answer than expected. But the devil called Kayle shook his head because it was not his answer. The eyes of the two demons naturally turned to one place.
“I have some business to do with my friends over there.”
Naturally, the main character of the answer was Jeongdo.
The two demons couldn’t believe their ears at first, thinking they had heard wrong. And soon I stopped laughing because it was so absurd. The lizard demon stopped laughing and spit out a vicious attack at Jeong-do.
“They are from other universes as well, but this universe is particularly harsh. How can you be so bad at understanding your topic? Weak… .”
The lizard-faced demon who had spoken so far stopped talking and tilted his head.
‘Something is strange.’
When I first saw this person, I felt something was strange, but now it was beyond strange and bizarre. And soon I realized the identity of the strangeness. The lizard demon turned his head and looked at the group that had invaded the prison.
It was weak.
It was clear that the energy he felt from them was far below his own. If I put my mind to it, it wouldn’t take me a few minutes to sort them all out. And that was normal in this universe.
The lizard demon turned his head again and looked at Jeongdo who was trapped inside the prison.
“… what?”
I couldn’t figure it out.
Looking at his appearance, it was clear that he was a weak human, but I felt nothing about the person in front of me. It’s not that my energy was weak, but I couldn’t feel anything at all.
“you! What the heck… !”
The lizard demon sensed something was wrong, but it was too late for him to realize it.
Shugak!
The sword was swung at an invisible speed. He cleanly cut off not only the black iron bars but also the heads of the two demons beyond them.
<You have defeated two lesser demons. You have earned 2 points.>
A flare announcing the first battle in the Demon World appeared in the notification window.
