Chapter 629
dark.
As if night had arrived, a world of blackness spread out.
Raon swallowed dry saliva as he gazed at the dark forest that made his eyes feel dim.
‘How did this happen?’
It was broad daylight outside, but it was understandable that it was getting dark now that we had descended underground.
But what I could see right now was a magnificent forest. I couldn’t understand why there was such a huge forest underground.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the branches and leaves of the trees that made up the forest.
‘It’s like there is a forest, but the leaves are also strange.’
By looking at the leaves and branches, you can infer the climate of the area.
If the leaves are thin, it’s a cold region, if it’s wide, it’s a hot region.
‘There… .’
what is that sky
If it is underground, no matter how high it is, the ceiling must be attached.
However, even when I stretched out the ceiling above my head, I couldn’t feel the ceiling. Even if the time to fall was long, this would not make sense.
‘uh?’
Raon raised his gaze and shook his hand slightly.
‘Could it be the moon?’
In the left corner of the sky hung a crescent moon that looked smaller than a pinky fingernail. Unlike the real moon, only a very small amount of light was shed, but the moon seemed right.
‘What the hell is this place?’
I tried pinching the back of my hand just in case, but I felt the pain. I mean it’s not a dream. This bizarre land was a place that existed in reality.
‘Barrier? decimal?’
Was it a trap too?
Unlike the anxiety wrapped around her head, her instinctive senses didn’t feel like a trap.
I don’t know why, but it felt familiar.
‘I don’t know what happened.’
He frowned as he recalled the entrance to Sword Zone’s tomb.
‘If it were really a trap, there would be no exit… .’
-That’s not it.
Lars popped out of the bracelet.
‘Isn’t it? Do you know where this is?’
-I don’t know.
The guy pretended to know and waved his hand.
‘Then what do you mean by what you just said?’
-It means that there is an exit that you can get out of, unlike your worries.
Lars pointed to the moon floating in the air.
-You know that this is not a normal space.
‘okay.’
– Whether it’s a barrier made with magic, a camp made with sorcery, or even a space made with martial arts, if you made an entrance, there is no choice but to have an exit. Because that is the law of the dimensions that make up the completed space.
He waved his finger, saying that it might be hard to find, but there must be an entrance to the outside.
‘Right.’
Fortunately, I got information that it wasn’t the worst. Even though he was an insectivore, he was a demon king who was sometimes helpful.
‘thanks.’
-If you’re thankful, go out and buy some ice cream. I heard that a new flavor has been released.
‘… … .’
I don’t know where a guy who can’t communicate with others gets information about ice cream. As I was shaking my head, the swordsmen of the windmills fell behind my back one by one.
“what. This is it.”
Burren looked away and frowned.
“It must have been daytime? Why is it dark?”
The crane tilted its head at the dark forest.
“You fool. ‘Cause I’ve come downstairs It’s dark!”
Martha put honey chestnut on Crane’s head.
“There is a moon.”
Runaan raised a finger. She had a thin crescent moon reflected in her blind eyes.
“uh… ?”
“Why did you come down to the basement and the moon… .”
Martha and Burren opened their mouths as Runan’s finger pointed at the moon.
“Sir, this is a strange place. To the point where I want to leave right away… .”
Dorian put his hand in his stomach pocket, his lips quivering already in fear. He came out with a burning torch in his hand.
“… what is that?”
Raon blinked at Dorian. It wasn’t a material that could make a torch, but the torch itself protruded, so no matter how I looked at that bag, I couldn’t adapt.
“It is a torch. necessity.”
Dorian smiled and handed out torches to the windmill swordsmen. I don’t know why the flaming torch is in my pocket, but thanks to it, the darkness has lifted a little.
“But other people aren’t coming… .”
He looked around and smacked his lips.
“We don’t see those who entered before us either.”
Burren looked around and shook his head.
When I jumped into Sword Zone’s grave, there were many people ahead of me and many people waiting behind, but I couldn’t see them.

It seemed that the falling position changed depending on the time it entered.
“Is it a barrier made of magic?”
Rimer looked around and wrinkled his brow.
“I’ve never heard of Sword Zone using magic.”
“you’re right.”
Lisrn, who entered the tomb last, nodded.
“Sword Zone held only swords and swords all his life. I have never learned magic or witchcraft.”
“Then what the hell is this place?”
Rimmer looked up at the dark sky as if there was no moon and wrinkled his brow.
“There are a few wizards and shamans who are friendly with Sword Zone, but not enough to create a space of this scale.”
Lisrun immediately recited the information as if he had done a lot of research on the sword zone.
“What kind of person is Sword Zone?”
“You must know that he was a warrior who had heard of transcendence, so other than that, his disposition was close to that of a righteous man. He has no power, but he is said to have focused only on cultivating martial arts while wandering all over the continent doing righteous deeds. and… .”
“and?”
“This is not definitive information, but there was also a story that he admired Sieghart’s martial arts.”
“Is that true?”
It was something I hadn’t heard even from Denning Rose, so I widened my eyes.
“yes. However, they say that they have never visited or met Sieghart. That’s why I said I’m not sure.”
“okay.”
It seems that Denning Rose did not bring up that story because he had to tell only certain information as a disciple of black marketism and a branch manager.
Raon touched his chin and lowered his eyelids.
‘Then this place must be one of the three.’
The first is a place made by Dogeomjon, who has not created any power, for his descendants who will pass on his martial arts.
The second case is when the sword zone uses a place that someone has already created.
And the third and final trap.
For now, the third seemed the most likely.
“Once you move.”
Raon nodded as he looked at the windmill.
“There are people who entered first, so you better catch up quickly.”
“You don’t even know if there is an exit? It might be a trap.”
Burren stepped to the side, revealing a worried look in his eyes.
“no.”
He calmly shook his head.
“This space is already a perfect place. It is a rule of the world that if there is an entrance, whether it is a battle or a barrier, there is no choice but to make an exit. Even if it’s hard to find, there’s definitely an exit.”
I recited the information Lars had told me.
-That, that’s what the king said!
Lars widened his eyes as if he was being ridiculous.
“Was there a rule like that?”
“I didn’t know.”
“I’ve heard of it for the first time too.”
“As expected, Daeju is Daeju. There is also a skill in that side.”
The windmill opened its mouth in admiration.
“No, that’s right. If there is an entrance, whether it is a camp or a barrier, there is no choice but to make an exit. You wouldn’t normally know, but you’re amazing.”
Lisn also nodded his head with a bewildered expression as if surprised.
– You damn bastard!
Lars groaned and grabbed his collar.
-Bring your compliments to the king right now! Why are you praised as the king’s information!
‘What if someone receives it?’
-and! What shamelessness! Now there is only admiration! You stupid double personality bastard!
The boy shook his hand as if indignation.
‘That’s not it… .’
As Raon was about to wave his hand, a message popped up in front of his eyes.
[I was surprised and admired by <Wrath>.]
[All stats increase by 1 point.]
‘oh?’
-… uh?
Lars blinked at the message.
-This is not it! Did you have pasta in your head! Are you really going to praise me?
Whether or not he went crazy, the message disappeared as if he had finished his task.
– Come out right now! Whether you die today or the king dies, let someone die!
Lars grabbed his hair and shook it as if his anger did not cool down.
‘Stop it.’
-Will you stop if it’s like you!
‘Ehh.’
Raon shook his head and entered the forest in front of him.
“Let’s go this way.”
As I was trying to decide a direction and move on, I heard a rustle from deep inside the forest.
‘It’s not a person.’
It’s heavy, but the bloody smell flows. It is not a human sign. It was a dull movement typical of monsters.
oh oh oh!
With a wild roar that seemed like it would crush the entire forest, the orcs with their yellow buck teeth revealed.
“what. Are you an orc?”
“Ha, Okrani.”
“I was just nervous.”
Gwangpungdae laughed at the group of orcs. There were a lot of them, but they looked like they weren’t even one fist.
“Don’t look down on me.”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the orcs.
“What do you mean… .”
Burren looked at the orc again and tilted his head as if he hadn’t noticed.
“I am not an ordinary orc.”
The appearance of the orcs is the same as those outside, but their eyes and energy are different. He was no ordinary orc.
In addition, hot blood was sprayed on their skin. It seemed that he had already killed the other soldiers and came this way.
“You will know when you experience it yourself. crane.”
“yes!”
As soon as the instruction was given, the unique crane stepped on the steps. He burrowed into the crowd of orcs at once and swung his sword down.
Chiyiying!
Just as the aura-infused blade was about to slash the orc in front, the double-edged ax that had been sinking rose like lightning.
Whoa!
Crane’s sword was trembling as it was blocked by the orc’s axe.
“what… .”
“speculation?”
Martha frowned at the red speculation on the orc’s axe.
“How can an ordinary orc fight?”
She gasped in disbelief.
Whoa!
As much as Martha’s surprise, the battle proceeded urgently.
The orc pushed the crane with force and brought down the axe.
“Chit!”
Crane frowned and focused his aura on the sword. A soft light burned over the blade, and the double-edged ax and the orc’s throat split at the same time.
“The great lord is right! These guys aren’t normal orcs! It’s weak, but I can use speculation!”
He sighed as he clasped the hand holding the sword.
Kyaaaaaaa!
The orcs screamed and charged as if excited by the death of their comrades.
The speed of movement was also different from that of ordinary orcs. It felt like seeing a black skin that was said to be the strongest among the Orcs.
‘It wouldn’t be bad for educational purposes.’
Raon raised his finger toward the orcs.
“They are the ones who killed people. Cut them all down.”
“yes!”
Gwangpungdae raised his sword spirit from the beginning because he saw the battle between the crane and the orc with his own eyes.
Each of the orcs was strong, but they were no match for the mighty or mentally grown maniacs.
The swordsmen tore apart the orcs with speculation and filled the forest with blue-skinned corpses.
“Huh.”
Lisn was in vain as he watched the vast expanse advancing like a storm.
‘How can all of them be top-notch experts?’
Gwangpungdae is in his early 20s. I couldn’t believe that all of those young swordsmen were top-notch experts.
‘What is this?’
One genius like Raon can come out, but it was more surprising that all of them were gifted to the level right before the master.
“This side is almost done… Keugh!”
The crane slashed the orc fighter in front of it and moved to the left, moaning. He stepped back, limping on his right leg.
“Ugh!”
“What, what!”
Other Gwangpungdae prosecutors also screamed at the same time as Crane.
“What is going on?”
Raon approached Crane in one step.
“More, it seems there was a trap.”
“Listen to your feet.”
As he said, as if he had stepped on a trap, there was a hole in the bottom of his right boot, and blood was pouring out.
‘Is it an Orc’s trap?’
A trap with a black needle had been placed between the weeds where the crane had just stood.
However, apart from the crane’s blood, purple liquid was applied to the needle.
“Is it poison?”
“Do, poison? Am I going to die?”
“The poison of orcs is not very strong. You should be able to push it away with an aura.”
“Ha, I’m glad.”
“But this doesn’t look like orc poison, does it?”
“Ah! Which one!”
Leaving the frightened Crane behind, he removed the poison with his fingers and put it in his mouth.
“Daeju, Daeju!”
“what are you doing!”
“Raon!”
Burren, Martha, and Runan ran at the same time. Martha and Runan screamed at their words, as if they had forgotten their oath to say honorifics.
“don’t worry. Because I can endure it.”
Thanks to the ring of fire, the body itself has strong resistance to poison, but it also has poison resistance as a characteristic.
No matter how strong the poison is, it can be excreted, so it was best to try it yourself to know what kind of poison it was.
‘It doesn’t affect the organs, but it stimulates the muscles, body and short circuit.’
As expected, the purple poison was not the paralytic poison used by the orcs.
‘Bella’s flower.’
It is a poisonous plant that I used occasionally in my previous life. It wasn’t strong, but it was a type of poison that quickly drained health and accelerated the consumption of aura. It was used to impoverish the mind of the target.
“It’s a poison using Bella’s flower.”
“Bee, Bella’s flower?
Like an assassin, Lisn reacted first.
“That, what is it?”
Crane freaked out and raised his voice.
“It is not a strong poison, but it is a poison that quickly drains health. It’s pretty annoying to treat.”
“Huh, I’m so glad… .”
“It’s not something I like. This poison cannot be pushed away with an aura. There can’t be an antidote here… .”
He shook his head, saying that the situation had become difficult.
“Dorian.”
Raon gestured to Dorian, who was hardening his complexion.
“Do you have Phelen’s flower and Roseren’s leaf?”
“Of course it is.”
Dorian nodded and took several flowers and stems from her stomach pouch.
“It is a necessity.”
“… … .”
Now I’m confused about what’s not essential, but I got it. The two ingredients were ground in an herbal mortar and applied to the feet of cranes and injured swordsmen.
“uh?”
“Sat, the pain is reduced, and the shaking in my hand has stopped.”
The prosecutors clenched their fists saying that they could move again.
When the treatment was finished, the monster appeared again. This time, it wasn’t just the Orcs, but medium and large monsters as well.
“You shouldn’t think that there are only monsters. Think of it as fighting this space.”
“yes!”
Gwangpungdae jumped at the monsters with a sharp spirit like a blade.
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the corpses of the unmanned soldiers piled up behind the monsters.
‘Sword zone.’
What do you want?
* * *
“Hey, what are the monsters… .”
“Sieghart’s Windmill… .”
“Who doesn’t know that? Even if it’s Sieghart, he’s in his early 20s. How are they all at the top level of expert!”
“The level of the monsters is high, but those kids look even higher.”
“I am not tired even though I am strong. It’s like a monster over there… .”
The warriors who sat down here and there in the forest clapped their tongues as they watched the windswept massacre of the orcs and trolls.
“Huh… .”
Lisn also looked at the back of the windmill, which turned monsters into corpses in an instant, and shed a fuss.
‘It’s literally a monster.’
This was a little hell. The night has been going on for several days, and they do not know exactly where they are, and reinforced monsters appear endlessly.
There were even traps and traps in between, so there were so many things to pay attention to.
It was an environment where even a skilled soldier or an assassin would have no choice but to groan from exhaustion. In fact, the agents of the black market, including himself, were also half-closed due to lack of stamina.
But the windmill was different.
As if the battle had just begun, he slashed monsters and broke traps with vitality.
That was not the mental strength that a warrior in his early twenties could show.
In fact, I met quite a few warriors and wizards while moving.
There were also forces with more people and more experience than the Gwangpungdae, but the complexion of all of them was full of shadows.
Many people gave up moving and just rested in place.
But, like a tree with deep roots, the windmill continued to move forward without swaying. Now, beyond admiration, they were curious about them.
Lisrn approached the moving windmill swordsman from the back. It was a swordsman named Dorian, but he was a bizarre figure who took out the table and stove when eating, and took out the tent when sleeping.
“excuse me.”
“yes?”
Dorian smiled and turned his head.
“Are you okay?”
“What?”
He shook his head as if he didn’t know what to ask.
“You’ve been fighting in this darkness for days, isn’t it hard?”
“Of course it is difficult.”
Dorian sighed and shook his head.
“But how… .”
“Because I’ve been through more than this.”
“A harder job?”
“yes. Before coming here, I went through 3 weeks of special training from Dae-ju. that… .”
“It was hell.”
Crane took Dorian’s horse instead.
“that’s right. Compared to those three weeks, this is heaven.”
Burren nodded as if he agreed.
“Don’t even bring up that story. Because my hands are shaking.”
Martha bit her lip, telling her not to speak at all.
“Ugh… .”
Even Runan, who always showed blind eyes, grabbed his head.
“Dae, what the hell did you go through… .”
“I fought without sleeping for an hour a day for three weeks. I almost died because I had to fight not only with the Dae-ju or the captain, but also with the other members.”
Crane took a deep breath and explained his training.
“I don’t even want to think about it… .”
Dorian broke out in a cold sweat as if she remembered that time.
“her… .”
Rhysn blinked and looked at Raon, who was walking in front of the tonic.
“It’s a trap over there. Don’t step on it.”
Raon pointed out one trap after another that he couldn’t see properly because it was dark.
To accurately pinpoint a trap in the dark that even he, who had lived as an assassin, could not find properly, that was not something that could be called a genius of martial arts.
‘It’s a real monster.’
Of course, he knew that his strength was strong, but he was well versed in poisons, traps, and tactics, and he had no idea that he had the ability to raise his subordinates well. Nothing seemed to be lacking.
Lisn swallowed dry saliva while watching Raon’s unshakable back.
‘The branch manager found the real jewel… .’
* * *
Raon narrowed his brows as he looked at the biggest zelkova tree he had ever seen.
‘That’s… .’
It was the first time he had ever come into the sword zone’s tomb, where he made his own light. It was a mark so sure that even an idiot could tell.
“Looks like an exit!”
The crane behind me screamed as it looked at the shining ground.
He didn’t show it on the outside, but he seemed tired after four days.
“Sorry, but there is no exit.”
Raon shook his head as he fixed his eyes on the shining land.
“Because there’s no way this place was created just to give you this much ordeal.”
The monsters were strong, and the traps and traps varied. It took a lot of physical strength and mental strength, but it wasn’t enough to cause great damage to the master.
It was thought that it was only a barrier to cover the ramblings, so the hole through which the light gushed was not an exit, but an entrance to the next floor.
“It must be the next floor.”
Burren nodded as if he thought the same thing.
“I’ll go first.”
Raon put the windshield behind him and looked at the shining ground. It was a hole in the same shape as when entering Dogeomjon’s tomb.
However, unlike when I saw it from the outside, I felt familiar with the rectangular shape of the finish.
‘Why do I feel this way… .’
I looked at the hole with my eyes narrowed, and golden flames soared from inside the white hole.
Raon trembled as he felt his vision fill up with golden flames.
‘also?’
No, why did this person not go anywhere!
