The dark green fog was filled with gunfire and shouts.

In the mud, unable to tell who was friend or foe, Baek Seo-yeon wrapped a barrier spell around her body to block the poisonous fog and calmly walked forward.

Several enemies tried to attack her unknowingly, but they were easily dealt with by mercilessly firing particle bullets.

Soon, the shadow of someone who was constantly making a fuss in front of her began to appear.

Yeon Jeong-moon, standing in the fog, had red bloodshot eyes and blood was gushing out from every pore of her face. It was literally like the devil himself crawling out of the fiery pit of hell.

The man who was turning the face of the person who attacked him into a beehive suddenly turned his head.

Just as Seoyeon recognized him, he also noticed Seoyeon’s presence and stopped laughing and made eye contact.

Then he clicked his tongue lightly as if he was disappointed.

“Tsk. Is it still not working for those of high rank? I wanted to see the kid who called himself the strongest of this generation lose his mind and run wild.”

“Yeonjeongmun. You are truly out of your mind.”

Seo-yeon spat out words filled with sincere contempt, but he opened his mouth and smiled as if he didn’t care.

“It’s a shame. If it had been just a few more days, this fog would have covered the entire capital. It is the sorrow of heaven that I did not see your father dying there.”

“You are summarily executed. It’s not like they’re doing these things one after another and hoping to survive.”

Seoyeon pointed the sharpened ice blades at him and chanted. His mood was so cold that he froze just by looking at him.

“Hahaha! The moment I make a mistake, my name is as good as gone! Does this Yeon Jeong-moon look like a small person who would be obsessed with such things now?”

Yeon Jeong-moon, who was laughing as if nothing was wrong, suddenly stops laughing. Then he gazed at Seoyeon with mysterious eyes.

“But you can’t just quietly put your head down. So how can we look at that child who is in love with our ancestors? On the way to the underworld, shouldn’t you take at least one of Paecheon’s heads with you!!”

Before he could finish speaking, he rushed at Seo-yeon, spattering blood.

The speed was so fast that it was difficult to follow with the eyes. Seoyeon just stood there motionless and glared at him.

And the moment before his hand grabbed Seo-yeon’s neck.

-Phew!

Yeon Jeong-moon inadvertently looked down at her chest as she heard a squishy sound piercing her skin and a searing pain spreading throughout her body.

“Cough… !!”

What came into his sight was the tip of a sharp ice pick that pierced his stomach from behind.

He was lifted up by a huge icicle growing upside down from the floor. My feet, unable to touch the ground, struggled in the air.

He kept spitting out a series of empty sounds from his mouth.

From the beginning, there was no way for the man to take Seo-yeon as his friend. My body had already reached its limit, and I no longer had the ability to think rationally.

Seo-yeon slowly opened her mouth, staring at his figure as if he were hanging on an execution platform.

“Yeonjeongmun. Don’t be too upset. This is revenge for the sins you committed.”

“Cough… ! Revenge… !! What on earth… ”

“2 years ago. Sending demons to a small settlement in the north. Do you remember?”

“I’ve never been like that… Cough… ! It seems like it was there… ”

Seoyeon tried to calm down her irritable heart again.

“Okay… that’s right… At the request of Paecheon’s successor at the time… There was a time when I used some beasts that came from the south… Did she steal that information? But why is that… ”

“A person in that village… It’s me.”

“What… ?”

Yeon Jeong-moon opened his eyes wide as if he had finally realized something.

And at the same time, Seo-yeon plunges the sharp cold blades of ice floating behind him into his heart.

“Wow… !”

He looked like a hedgehog and coughed violently.

My hands and feet, which had been struggling with such force, sank toward the ground.

“De, finally… That child… again… ”

The light gradually disappeared from the eyes of the man who let out a small lament.

“But don’t be too upset. The person you’ve been wanting to kill the whole time will soon be sent to your side.”

Seo-yeon muttered as if she were talking to herself, but there was no way to know whether those words reached Yeon Jeong-moon properly.

A feeling of relief and elation passed through her for a split second. Only then did Seoyeon look around.

Although he suffered considerable casualties from unexpected black magic and interference magic, the commander-level figures, including himself, still maintained their sanity and maintained the line of battle.

The poisonous fog was also gradually fading away, revealing the surrounding scenery. Due to the large difference in numbers, the suppression of the last remnants was also progressing slowly but surely.

At this rate, it seemed certain that everything would be completed before dawn.

However, the car was about to join the battle line again.

Seo-yeon turns around at the seemingly sudden sign of popularity, and ends up encountering two red eyes wandering lost in the fog.

Although she immediately got into a fighting stance, Yeon Myeong-ha’s eyes were not focused on Seo-yeon, but behind her.

“Ah, father… ?”

Sympathy was able to recognize the owner of the ice tomb without difficulty.

“Ah… Ah… ah… ”

Yeon Myeong-ha let out a low scream that was almost like a scream.

A body with a miserable appearance and ice covering it and radiating cold. It wasn’t that difficult to guess who killed him.

The light in the red eyes gradually dims, and the reason that has finally reached its limit evaporates without a trace.

“Baek Seo-yeon!!”

-Quaang!

“ugh… !”

Seoyeon frowned at the enormous shock wave that erupted in an instant. Needless to say, she was the place where sympathy’s anger and tantrums were directed.

“… Ha.”

Seo-yeon, facing Yeon-sik’s anger, let out a small sigh in a cold voice.

***

-Quaang! bang!

-visor! Cheer up!

-Ouch! eye… my eyes… !

-Casting! Kang!

All kinds of mixed noises were loud and bothered my ears.

Although he managed to block out the poisonous fog by creating a barrier, his condition is not very good due to the poison that has started to spread through his blood vessels and throughout his body.

My skin feels hot and my mind feels dizzy. My vision keeps blurring and appearing, and it’s difficult to even get my bearings.

When I looked around, I couldn’t see Yeon Myeong-ha anywhere, perhaps because she fell due to the shock wave.

I got up with a heavy body. Then he picked up a blade that had fallen in the melee and headed into the fog to find her.

I tried desperately to organize my complicated thoughts.

There is only one certain fact: Redemption is over. The charges committed by Yeon Jeong-moon are clear to anyone. The hostess has already died in his hands, and he too will not be able to survive.

Although it had nothing to do with the person he was pitying, the people who got the information and attacked were the elites of Fallen.

They are the enemies of Jeokhwa and Bubuldaecheon, and they are always looking for an opportunity to overthrow each other.

If compassion falls into the hands of such people, the rest is obvious. No matter how much I think about it, it feels more likely that they will be tied together and processed than the possibility of a proper investigation being conducted.

However, they have a cause, so if you mess with them carelessly, it will become difficult to even preserve compassion.

For now, the best way is to find her somehow and then get out of here and hide.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a place to take shelter.

The cradle, which is an extraterritorial jurisdiction, is too far away and has no connection to the capital.

What should I do?

As I was wading through the fog and thinking for a while, something I had forgotten suddenly came to mind.

there is.

There was only one place worth entrusting oneself to.

‘I remember this well.’

‘… ‘What is this?’

‘You’ll find out later. If something happens to you, we’ll be there, but if the situation is urgent, you can just go to this address and ask for help.’

Before leaving the northeastern station for cradle admission. The leader once handed me a note with an address written on it.

I received it, but nothing much happened after that, so I put it away in the back of my mind.

I only know the address, but nothing is certain, but for now, that is the only place I can place my hope.

After all, the manager wouldn’t have handed me that address without even thinking about it.

Meanwhile, the sound of fluttering wings gradually got closer, and a crow with a now familiar face suddenly burrowed into my arms.

It was protecting itself from the fog by creating a round membrane similar to a barrier. Even though it looks like this, it is definitely a first-class demonic beast species.

-Caw!

After taking a moment to catch his breath, the crow looks at me with compassion. The eyes seem to contain an unspoken urge to quickly go find their owner.

As I got up, the stubby crow, which resembled a sparrow, also spread its wings again and began to slowly lead me.

Beyond the fog, shadows and shouts intertwined and unraveled repeatedly.

Among them, there were some who rushed towards me, but most of them rushed at me without hesitation, like people who were out of their minds, so subduing them was not that difficult.

I was walking down the road guided by a crow. A familiar, heavily armed woman blocks his path.

He wears round glasses and has his hair braided into two pigtails. Yoram 2nd grader, Choi Ire.

She smiled brightly and greeted me as if she was glad to see me.

“Nice to meet you, junior.”
