SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 275

Elyos and Asmodians (2)

It was the place where Lokan, engulfed in a halo of light, had fallen from an airship and fought the Imoogi.

There are only two places stored in the Celestial Rune Book, Seraholm and here.

Now that the combat status has been lifted, you can use the return scroll to fly to the border town at once, but this is to confuse them.

Because only the user himself knows what place is stored in the heavenly rune book.

Naturally, the search range was widened and time was inevitably delayed.

“return.”

In the meantime, Lokan tore the spell book again.

He returned to the border town.

As much as he confirmed that he was using the heavenly rune book, he decided that the search for the village would be delayed.

“It’s easy to go to the Demon Realm.”

And he immediately spoke to the demons dispatched to the border village.

“Hey, divine beast hunter?”

He recognized Lokan right away. He sniffed his nose to see if there was any curse or smell left on his body, and he smiled contentedly.

‘It’s a little awkward.’

The title New Beast Hunter, whose possession effects were all question marks. He felt uncomfortable with a strange sense of insecurity as if he had put something wrong, but the Asmodian scouts welcomed it because his position was different.

“Yeah, talented people like you are always welcome! Go to the forest where the sun doesn’t set and find Turakhorn. That will get you there.”

“It’s a forest where the sun never sets… … .”

The place he was pointing to was a forest not far from the village.

As the name suggests, the forest where the sun does not set, the forest grows thickly and forms a dome-like shape, so it is a gloomy place where even during the day there is no light.

But he had nothing to fear because he was a Rokhan with night vision.

Using the heavenly rune book, he summoned a unicorn that had been automatically reverse-summoned and ran, so he was able to quickly get inside.

‘this.’

As soon as Rokhan entered the sunless forest, he realized something was wrong with him. The image quality of this place and the new beast, Unicorn, does not match.

As soon as I entered the entrance, I felt a strong hostility.

The monsters staying in the forest were also a problem, but somehow the whole forest seemed to be watching them.

“Unicorn, reverse summon.”

Lokan had no choice but to cancel the unicorn’s summons.

“Wings Mode.”

Instead, he flapped his wings in a gust of wind and began a low-flying flight.

The road was too narrow to summon Kai, and I couldn’t find my way from above anyway, so this was perfect.

“Is it over there?”

When Rokhan stepped out alone, surprisingly, the hostility that had been around him disappeared. Although he wasn’t a demon, it was because of the madness he exuded.

Contagion of madness that reduces the opponent’s ability and causes fear.

Those exposed to that energy immediately lowered their tails and ran away.It seems greedy and violent, but for the strong, the most flexible and understanding is the demon tribe.

After walking in for a while, I saw a fairly large building.

“It was called Toorakhorn.”

Recalling the name to meet there, Lokan strode inside.

“Hmm, is there no entrance door?”

But it was strange. The outside is open with no doors at all, but there is no hole to enter inside the outer wall that is surrounded like a fortress wall.

“There must be something inside… … .”

It was to the point that Lokan wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

After going round and round like that, Lokan was able to realize. There really are no doors here.

“Do you need a quest item? No, I never said that.”

Because of that, he naturally remembered the quest, but never heard of such a thing.

So what do you do?

Lokan pondered for a moment, then looked up at the wall and raised his fist.

Crazy thing, if there is no door, can’t we just make it?

With one blow of destruction, the path would have been opened neatly.

“for a moment! stop! stop!”

Just then, someone’s urgent voice deterred Lokan.

[Toorakhorn, the gatekeeper of the Demon Realm][Lv 403]

“Turakhorn?”

“Yeah, I’m a torakhorn. So stop!”

“Hmm.”

He was so dissuaded that he pretended not to hear and wanted to punch his fist, but he had no reason to make trouble at the entrance.

When he lowered his fist as if regretfully, the guy also wiped his chest and let out a deep sigh.

“You man, do you know what’s inside? Of course, it can’t be destroyed with one punch, but… … . Anyway, if it collapses, there will be a real uproar!”

“okay? Shall we try it then?”

“No, that’s right, that’s right! Uh-huh, I can’t even speak.”

Rokhan, who was sarcastic at his words, raised his fist again, and Turakhorn hurriedly waved his hand to deter him.

It seems like it contains something really important.

‘I’m really curious about this… … .’

What the hell is in there? I was curious, but held back. I’m not going to become a demon anyway, so after completing the quest, I’ll have to check whether it’s going to infiltrate or destroy everything.

With that in mind, I quietly listened to what he had to say.

“Hey, I need to get it out of here right now. Do you want to go to the demon realm? Follow me!”

He led him as if he was getting tired of Rokan’s appearance, which would really break if left alone. I’d rather just hand it over to the demon realm.

However, the place he was leading was a bit strange.

“Well?”

“what are you doing? Take a good look and follow me. Because space movement magic is applied only to this part.

‘I couldn’t find it.’

doghole. The door leading to the inside was in a low position that could only be entered by bending over and crawling.

‘Do I really have to follow that?’

Rokhan leaned on the ground with both hands and crawled down.

He followed after him, vowing that if he was joking, he would destroy the wall earlier.

“Uh, where are you?”

As I entered the door with the welcome magic and space movement magic, a completely different space appeared.

It looks like a warehouse or a research lab.

But the real surprise was the ‘floor’.

“A demon?”

Under the floor made of something transparent like glass, black-winged demons were infested.

‘But how… … .’

But something was a bit strange. Should I call it malnutrition? For a few days, he looked as if he was starving.

No, when I looked closely, there were even those with slightly exposed bones because they were dry. On the other hand, his eyes are full of madness.

“Heh, are you surprised? It’s something we’ll be seeing a lot in the future, so don’t be scared already.”

“Hmm, this… … .”

No matter how demonic, can you enjoy the suffering of your own people? Well, it is possible. But his exhilarating appearance made Lokan think of a different hypothesis.

‘Come to think of it… … .’

If you look closely, demons are demons, but they are strangely familiar. It seemed to resemble a different face more than the Asmodian Scouts located in the border town.

‘no way… … .’

Exactly celestial.

Could it be that the people below this aren’t real demons, but rather Elyos who were forcibly corrupted?

“Come on, this is it.”

When doubts grew, Toorakhorn completed the spell.

When he concentrated his power, black mana gathered from somewhere to help him.

Woo woo woo!

With him, a black gate opened in front of Rokhan. A warp gate to somewhere in the demon realm.

Seeing the demons under his feet writhing in pain with him, he seemed to know what the source of this power was, but Lokan turned his head.

Even so, what do you mean?

They may seem cruel, but in reality, they are each other’s ‘enemies’. If he encounters it, he fights with the determination to kill him.

He tortured and brainwashed such an enemy, but there was no room for Rokhan himself to intervene.

‘Even the Elyos don’t seem to be any different.’

Moreover, have you not already seen the bare faces of the Elyos?

I was confident that I wouldn’t be surprised because it wouldn’t be strange if there was little information I knew, but with that level of personality and self-esteem, even if I was doing something worse behind the scenes.“Well then.”

So, instead of doing something for them, Rokhan got into the gate that went to the underworld lightly.

The surrounding landscape changed with the same sense of heterogeneity as when using the teleport magic circle.

[You have entered the entrance to the Demon Realm.]

The method is a bit different, but I liked the quick one. Unlike my visit to heaven, where I flew for a long time on an airship, now I reached the entrance at once.

There were quite a few people who glanced at the visits from non-Demon peoples to see if they were interesting. But that’s all, just like in the heavens, the interest soon faded. Because demons are not a race that cares much about others.

“Um, is it like that?”

But Lokan was also interested. The only demons he had ever seen were the demon scouts in the border town.

It wasn’t surprising though.

Because the appearance of the demons is so predictable.

Those who wear bat wings are those who have committed themselves to the demon camp with a race, and pure demons are the same as expressed in legends.

“The horns… … .”

horns on the forehead.

Lokan, who was looking at it, the source of the demon’s power and weakness, soon moved his body. He could be arguing if he kept staring, and he has something to check.

‘You mean the devil’s heart?’

The ten devil hearts you need to get the pass to heaven. In order to obtain it, it was necessary to know where the ‘Demons’ were.

Hopefully, just because the camp is moved and bat wings are attached, it won’t be treated as a complete demon.

Also, can’t we have an argument in the village just like in heaven?

And Lokan was able to confirm a pretty interesting fact.

“Is this closer to a human being?”

Surprisingly, the demons were classified as ‘nobles’. The beasts dyed with magic and the half-pieces that only changed the camp were treated as commoners or lower class people just like in heaven.

And another surprising fact is that there is not one kind of ‘pure demon’.

Vampires, werewolves, mummies, hell mists, etc., were treated as nobles.

“If we do well, we can gather them all in one room.”

If so, what would you choose?

Lokan once identified the location where they formed a city or a tribe. I figured out how much power they had, and gathered rumors about them.

There was no one who could openly speak to people from the neutral camp who were not demons, but money is a great law.

When Lokan promised a large amount of coins, those who would donate information were overflowing.

In fact, aren’t the demons the most individualistic race? They were great people who would be happy even if the person who was laughing and chatting right next to them died if it was to their advantage.

‘It may be my bias, though.’

However, this bias in the setting did not seem to be very different from game creators.

In that way, Lokan was able to purchase the map without difficulty and mark the locations of the gnomes.

The demon realm was so wide and there were so many wanderers that it was just an incomplete map with sparse information on it, but it was very comfortable compared to the tricky heavenly realm.

Don’t you need fame to use shops in the Demon World? Of course, there were such tackles, but those minor problems disappeared as soon as the coin was pushed in.

‘After all, money is the best!’

Seeing the demons who seemed to be more obsessed with capitalism than humans, Lokan smiled.
