Chapter 196: Destroyed Library!
‘Warp Gate?’
Although the appearance was slightly different, it is a warp gate.
‘Can it be activated?’
Currently, Soo Hyuk can return to the Middle World at any time through the Warp Magic Circle of Archmage’s Subspace. However, it will take a long time for him to return to the Demon World. But if this Warp Gate is registered in the warp magic circle, He will not have to go to the Devil’s Nest. He can just warp here right away.
“Roffielo-sama?”
Soo Hyuk called Roffielo.
“Yes!”
Roffielo replied as if he had been waiting for Soo Hyuk to call him.
Soo Hyuk raised his hand and pointed to the warp gate and continued.
“That’s a Warp gate, isn’t it?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Can I use it?”
“Of course. Shall I guide you?”
“Yeah.”
Roffielo immediately turned after Soo Hyuk’s answer. And naturally Yeon Jeung went with them.
“Our warp gate is a first-class Warp Gate. Through the crystal spheres in the center of the gate you can go to any warp point accessible by the ‘Amiletta’ faction.”
“I see.”
Soo Hyuk responded to Roffielo’s explanation.
Soon he arrived in front of the Warp Gate and Soo Hyuk got off the wagon.
“Wait a moment.”
And speaking to Yeon Jeung, Soo Hyuk went up to the Warp Gate, moved to the nearest crystal sphere, and reached out his hand.
The moment he touched the crystal ball, a warp window appeared.
Soo Hyuk smiled. There were Warp Gates not only in villages but also in certain hunting grounds, and there were several Warp Gates in the city.
You can go anywhere except for the city of ‘Amiletta’ as Roffielo said.
‘Can I use it right away if I pay gold?’
Maybe it was because he was a user, he needed to pay gold to use the Warp Gate.
The nearest place to warp would cost 50 gold, which was quite expensive, but it was an amount that was not burdensome for Soo Hyuk.
‘Let’s check if it works first.’
Looking at the warp window, Soo Hyuk stepped forward.
-Soo Hyuk: I will be back in a minute.
And after sending a whisper to Yeon Jeung, he cast
‘Archmage’s Subspace’.
What is important now is whether this Warp Gate is registered in the warp magic circle?
“Archmage’s Subspace.”
[Warping to the Archmage’s Subspace.]
As soon as he arrived at the Archmage’s Subspace, Soo Hyuk headed for the warp magic circle along the passage.
And when Soo Hyuk arrived at the warp magic circle, he saw the warp window and smiled once more.
‘There are two coordinates.’
A while ago, Soo Hyuk cast Archmage’s Subspace in ‘Orcaf’ village. And it was added in the warp destinations.
‘Now I can go to the Demon World anytime I want.’
He is now able to go back and forth between Middle Earth and 10th Demon World every 30 minutes.
Soo Hyuk used the warp magic circle to return to Orcaf.
And with a satisfied look he got out of the Warp Gate, got into the wagon, and said to Yeon Jeung.
“We have to change our route.”
“Our route?”
“Yeah, I think we will have to finish all the quests and go to Amiletta through the Warp Gate.”
After talking with Yeon Jeung, Soo Hyuk told Roffielo.
“Do you have a library?”
“If it’s a library, are you talking about the place where books are kept?”
Roffielo asked.
“Yeah.”
At Soo Hyuk’s answer, Roffielo showed an embarrassed expression.
Soo Hyuk was puzzled by Roffielo’s reaction. However, at the following words of Roffielo, Soo Hyuk had no choice but to frown.
“Sorry. Not long ago, the library was destroyed in the Barlog’s raid.”
“Then, we have to go!”
“May the blessings of the devil be with you.”
After the village tour, Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung were sent off from the village by the demons.
“Wow, except that the shape of the buildings is a little odd, it’s really the same as a human’s village. Is it not?”
Yeon Jeung drove the carriage and spoke to Soo Hyuk.
However, Soo Hyuk did not say anything, so Yeon Jeung turned his head to check on him.
He saw Soo Hyuk staring blankly into the air.
“What are you thinking about?”
Yeon Jeung asked.
“Sorry. What did you say?”
Soo Hyuk came to his senses at Yeon Jeung’s question.
“What are you thinking about, staring blankly in the air like that?”
Soo Hyuk answered with a frown after remembering what he was thinking about.
“Library.”
“Library?”
Yeon Jeung repeated Soo Hyuk words in bewilderment.
“Uh, I didn’t even think that a library could be destroyed.”
Soo Hyuk was staring blankly into the air because he thought about libraries. There used to be a library in the village of Orcaf. However, it was destroyed in the Barlog raid.
The fact that a library might disappear was a great shock to Soo Hyuk.
“Balrog bastard.”
Soo Hyuk clenched his teeth while saying.
Yeon Jeung could not say anything about Soo Hyuk’s words. For some reason, he felt like he had to leave Soo Hyuk alone for now.
Yeon Jeung swallowed his saliva and began to concentrate on driving the carriage.
“‘Child of Darkness’, ‘Child of Darkness’.”
After a while, Soo Hyuk finished his thoughts and summoned the ‘Children of Darkness’. Then he took a book out of his inventory and started reading.
Seeing Soo Hyuk who seemed to have loosened up a little, Yeon Jeung let out a sigh of relief.
_______________
“You missed one?”
Kyrad, the highest-ranking demon, who is dividing the 10th Demon World with Amiletta, frowned.
“Sorry.”
Onen swallowed his saliva while sitting on his knees like a sinner. They managed to kill two but one survived. Even though three High- Class Demons and ten intermediate ones teamed up against three humans.
Moreover, three intermediate demons died, and he lost one of his arms. Of course, he reattached his arm, but he could not bring the dead demons back to life.
Due to Kyrad’s nature, punishment would be certain and Onen was prepared to die.
“Are the humans strong?”
“No.”
They were stronger than intermediate demons. However, if he said that there is a 100% chance that he will die.
Therefore, Onen could not tell the truth.
“Hmm.”
Kyrad sighed.
“I will give you one last chance.”
He said while looking coldly at Onen. Onen was relieved by Kyrad’s words.
“You will attack Ilom in three days.”
At Kyrad’s next words, Onen was surprised. No wonder, Ilom was one of the cities of Amiletta. Attacking it means starting a war with the Amiletta faction.
‘Finally.’
He already knew about the impending war. He was just surprised that it would start so quickly.
“I will go to Ilom right now.”
____________
Soo Hyuk closed the book.
And he checked the drop window.
– Gathered 102 Wings of Exmores
‘All gathered.’
Soo Hyuk presses OK to acquire the ingredients.
“Yeon Jeung accept the trade.”
And as he has always done, he handed over 50 wings to Yeon Jeung.
After checking the time after handing the wings, Soo Hyuk realized that it was time to log out and got off the wagon. As soon as Soo Hyuk descended, Yeon Jeung followed suit.
“Good work.”
Soo Hyuk retrieved the carriage and told Yeon Jeung.
“Tomorrow at 9 o’clock?”
“Huh. See you at nine.”
“Okay!”
Yeon Jeung logged out while saying goodbye to Soo Hyuk.
As Yeon Jeung’s character disappeared, Soo Hyuk opened the quest window to check the ‘Ring of Arhan 2’ quest.
‘There are still 130 times left.’
Today he read Aaron’s diary 170 times. It was an absurd amount, but Soo Hyuk was disappointed.
‘There must be a shorter book.’
He wanted to unlock the second option of the Ring of Arhan as soon as possible.
‘It will be unlocked tomorrow.’
Soo Hyuk closed the quest window with a sad expression. And he logged out.
After logging out, Soo Hyuk came out of the capsule.
As soon as he came out, he stopped by the bookshelf that came into view.
‘Balrog bastards.’
He thought of the Barlogs when he saw the neatly arranged books on his bookshelf.
Balrogs destroyed the library. Of course, the Balrogs did not just destroy the library. They destroyed many buildings as well. But he was only interested in the library.
Soo Hyuk remembered Cranosson’s destination.
‘He said it was the ‘Temple of the Balrog’.’
In the quest, Cranosson said that he was going to the
‘Temple of the Balrog’. The word ‘Balrog’ was not added for nothing. There must be Barlogs in the temple.
“Sigh.”
Soo Hyuk took a short breath and took a book out of the bookshelf. Then he sat down at his desk and began reading.
As he read the book, the irritation that had been soaring because of the Balrogs quickly subsided.
Soo Hyuk smiled and concentrated on the book.
_______________
*Forbidden ‘Temple of Balrog’. *
“Huh.”
Balrog Carla, who had been sleeping stretched out and woke up.
«..?»
Carla looked around and tilted her head. There were no people around.
“Herden, where have they all gone?”
Carla asked the only one left, Herden.
“Raid.”
“What? You mean those crazy guys went out to play again?”
Carla frowned while questioning Herden’s answer.
The reason five Balrogs including Carla and Herden are stationed here is because they have something to protect. It was a portal leading to the 11th Demon World.
“What if Amiletta or Kyrad, attack right now?”
What if Amiletta or Kyrad attack? The two of them will not be able to handle it. They need at least three Barlogs.
“When I get back, I will tell Erte-sama.”
They do not stay there forever. The Barlogs that protect the portal come from the 11th Demon World. And when new Balrogs are dispatched, Carla can then return to the 11th Demon World.
As soon as Carla returned to the 11th Demon World, she was planning to report to Erte, the king of the Balrogs. If he finds out that they went to play without guarding the portal, they will be beaten to death.
Carla stood up then turned into a combat state. Carla’s tiny body quickly grew larger.
Herden tilted his head.
“Why did you transform? Is anyone coming?”
He immediately asked.
“No.”
Carla shook her head.
“I have to bring them back. Even though there is a small chance that Amiletta or Kyrad will come it is not 0%!”
She replied with a smile.
“I will be back! I’m leaving the portal in your hands!”
After speaking to Herden, Carla moved straight away without waiting for an answer.
“Sigh.”
Herden sighed as he watched Carla rushing westward.
“Well then.”
It was Herden who had already expected Carla to do that.
“I have to change my job.”
As soon as he returned, he decided to change his job while looking at Carla’s back getting smaller and smaller.
