Seltan, who had been resting for a while, stopped what he was doing when he heard a sudden rumble and placed his hand on the ground.

Coo!

The ground rumbling once again.

Unlike before, the vibration continued to rumble through the ground.

He said as he quickly woke up Sarah, who was resting.

“It seems like something is going on. Moving fast.”

“What about that person?”

He knew who Sarah was talking about without having to say it.

There were only three people who came here together, including him and her.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll take care of it.”

Normally he would have searched for it, but he didn’t bother to go to that trouble.

I don’t know what it is, but looking at his monstrous physical ability that I saw earlier and his lack of nervousness, as if he knew everything from the moment he first entered the historical site.

Rather, I felt foolish for moving just to look for it.

‘Maybe you know better than me.’

I thought that even if I didn’t know, at least I wouldn’t die without anyone knowing.

However, although Sarah was still anxious, she thought there was nothing she could do and followed him first.

“Be careful. Because it’s going to be really dangerous from now on.”

It’s still early days.

However, if we go further, it is safe to say that once you enter the middle, that is when the real danger of the Bandel Ruins begins.

‘The country is also dangerous, so we must be careful.’

Seltan had reached the end of the Bandel ruins.

I know deep down that it is so dangerous that I don’t even want to think about how many threats I faced in the process.

In particular, I had to be even more careful now because the middle between the beginning and the end was so long and wide.

“That guy will come back on his own, so come to your senses. We just have to go our own way.”

He urged Sarah once again and moved forward with her.

These dangerous ruins.

***

“Ugh. This kid is just running wild?”

I clicked my tongue as I watched the gatekeeper glowing like crazy.

First of all, I was trying to beat it up, but it was very strong, and I had to support the ruins that were collapsing due to the rampage of this guy who was already chewing on demons. This caused some annoyance.

What on earth are you trying to protect, even though you know you can’t win against me?

Before I even thought I was curious, I first thought it was strange.

“Hey. Don’t go crazy like that. Just avoid it for no reason.”

I thought of old man and Sarah resting.

If they went on a rampage like that here, it was clear that they would suffer damage because it was connected to this place even if it was far away.

I was a bit worried, but I was trying to suppress it so as not to cause as much damage as possible, and I wasn’t too worried because I was an old man who could survive here.

‘Young Master, you probably know that I’m not ordinary, so you’ll make the first move.’

So, I was planning to deal with this guy quickly and then join him.

I swung my sword at the gatekeeper who was running wild.

The lightly swung sword drew a straight line.

The gatekeeper’s head falls off.

But the gatekeeper plays right away.

I continued to draw my sword without stopping.

Sigh!

Every time that happened, the gatekeeper’s head was cut off.

I played it again and again countless times.

“Isn’t it boring?”

The gatekeeper probably thought that if things continued like this, he would be the first to lose stamina, so he rushed over.

thud! thud! thud!

I swung the bell at the gatekeeper who was running towards me with his huge body.

Sigh!

This time, the gatekeeper’s body was split in half.

He said while looking at the gatekeeper who was about to play it back.

“I was really trying to overpower you and get over it, right? But you can’t do it.”

Killing an opponent who regenerates endlessly is simple.

All you had to do was cut down the regenerating opponent until he couldn’t regenerate.

His eyes flashed for a moment and he hacked at the gatekeeper.

Each time it was swung, pieces of meat flew out, and the huge figure became increasingly chopped up to the point where it was difficult to recognize.

When I tried to play it back, it got cut into even smaller pieces.

I finally succeeded in stopping playback.

‘But this will only be temporary.’

The gatekeeper of hell is a divine being with a distinct mythology.

To kill it, you have to use divine power that only transcendents can use, but if you use that, you’re in for quite a bit of trouble.

Therefore, I had to be satisfied with stopping playback for a while.

Before the gatekeeper regenerated again, I approached the door he had been trying so hard to protect.

A certain pattern appears as you approach the door.

When you touch it, the pattern emits light and the door slowly opens.

The door opened and what was revealed was the appearance of a sign that was fleetingly familiar to me.

‘The mark of the goddess.’

It was a sign symbolizing the goddess of light.

What was even more difficult to understand was that along with the sign symbolizing the goddess of light, there was an ominous sign.

I noticed that it was a symbol representing the devil.

‘Because it was definitely in the Demon King’s castle.’

However, the question is why there is a mark symbolizing the goddess of light and a mark symbolizing the devil at the same time. They even ask why a place like this is guarded by the gatekeeper of hell.

‘I don’t understand.’

I can’t understand it, and I can’t understand it.

I went further to resolve the current question.

I continued walking, passing the place where there were signs of the Goddess of Light and the Demon Lord.

As you continue to walk along the long passage, a room is revealed.

There were quite old items in the room.

Judging by the naked eye, these items were hundreds of years old.

But they were nothing special.

It looks like it was used as someone’s laboratory.

There were a lot of materials piled up, and in one place there was a framed photo hanging.

Perhaps because it was old, it was so damaged that it was unrecognizable.

I carefully looked at the traces full of traces of time.

‘Were you researching it?’

The writing on the document has also been damaged, so it is impossible to tell what it contains.

Still, if I were to guess from the undamaged writing, it seemed like they were researching some kind of magic.

“Time… Magic?”

As I read more, it said that I had studied magic related to time.

But that’s it.

It was too damaged to be interpreted any further.

I looked into it to see if there was more to it.

There wasn’t really anything more.

‘I don’t know why they tried to protect this place so much.’

From the outside, it doesn’t seem like there’s anything there.

The only thing unique about it is the signs of the Goddess of Light and the Demon Lord that I saw when I came in earlier.

Even when I came here, I didn’t see anything special.

‘Did I make a mistake?’

With that in mind, I was about to go back.

[Stop.]

A delicate woman’s voice muttering softly.

But the power contained within it was enormous.

‘He is a transcendent.’

The voice contained a quality that can only come from the transcendent.

I turned my body and looked towards the direction the voice came from.

Long hair down to the waist.

There was a woman with wavy blue hair that seemed to reflect a lake.

The woman’s appearance was so beautiful that even those who were not interested in women could inadvertently catch their eyes.

But the woman’s expression was fleeting and cold.

So much so that it feels as if all the coldness of the world has been conveyed.

‘It’s not alive.’

The woman’s state was a kind of spiritual state.

However, perhaps due to the specificity of the location, it appears to have a body intact.

However, what surprised me even more was that I could feel the deep demonic energy coming from the woman.

‘Are you saying it’s related to demons?’

But that doesn’t make sense.

I wonder why the woman in front of me, who has the status of a transcendent, is related to demons.

There is probably such a huge difference that with just one gesture from that woman, the demon lord disappears from this world.

Although the situation actually makes no sense.

‘When did it ever make sense again?’

If you think about it, nothing made sense.

Because it can happen, it exists right in front of our eyes.

Still, the conversation seemed to be working, so I decided to give it a try.

“My name is Yucheon. What is your name?”

When the woman heard my name, her eyes became even more murderous.

[dare… dare… A false being. Whose name are you calling?]

The magic power around her fluctuated as if responding to her will.

Even if it has a body, it cannot produce full power because it is still a soul.

But still, the power of the transcendent was something that could never be ignored.

It was clear that if things were left as is, a huge natural disaster would occur not only in the ruins but also in the vicinity of the ruins.

‘Anyway, it’s a false existence.’

Considering that he even said whose name he was referring to.

It seemed like he thought I was impersonating this name.

‘But it’s my name.’

I tried to open my mouth to clear up the misunderstanding.

“I think there is a misunderstanding… ”

[I don’t listen to the devil’s liaisons or anything like that.]

But more than that, the woman interrupted me.

At the same time, a huge wave of magical power swirled around her.
