In the dark cave,

The abyss that had been lurking in the corner writhed and moved.

In an instant, one of the pale faces lying scattered on the ground twitched.

|Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!!!!!!|

The corpse that started to wake up, cursing as it opened its eyes.

It was the moment Luna’s spirit possessed.

The Great Demon slipped out of the abyss and opened its pitch-black pupils.

|What’s going on?|

|That damn human! That bastard! Aaargh!!!!!!|

|Calm down and tell me|

|Is she really gone?! My Kali! Ah! Ah! The Kali that I perfected! Ahhhhh!|

Tearing at her face with her hands, Luna self-harmed.

The Great Demon, realizing that normal conversation was impossible at this point, slithered back into the abyss.

A long time passed.

After destroying all the corpses and calming down Luna, it seemed like a conversation was now possible.

The Great Demon emerged again, panting heavily, and faced Luna.

|What’s going on?|

|Yujin… that bastard… took my Kali…|

|Explain it more clearly|

|The body of Kali that I resurrected with great magic!!! The remnants of that body, torn apart by that crazy Solra, are now in Yujin’s hands! And not only that, he somehow managed to put Kali’s soul inside it and is mocking Kali!!!|

|…|

Luna, unable to control her excitement, began to lose control again.

The Great Demon was momentarily speechless and remained silent.

It was definitely a reason to lose control.

Luna’s obsession with Kali, both in life and death, was remarkable.

She thought Kali, torn to pieces by Solra, could no longer regenerate and was completely dead.

She never imagined that a part of the body had regenerated and ended up in Yujin’s hands.

|This is dangerous…|

And that was an uncomfortable fact for the Great Demon as well.

Kali was responsible for commanding most of the monsters among the Four Kings.

If Yujin had Kali in his grasp, it meant that their information was being exposed in real-time.

Changing the monster’s command system was easy enough.

But losing information about the Four Kings or ‘that person’ was extremely critical.

Already lagging in terms of power, falling behind in information would make them easy prey.

Ultimately, they had to rely on Kali’s loyalty…

The Great Demon shook its head and gave up.

They already knew that Kali was infatuated with handsome men.

Yujin could probably extract the information he wanted from Kali without much effort.

It seemed like Kali had already sided with the other party.

|Kali will be waiting for me eagerly. I have to rescue her quickly, I have to help her quickly, I have to save Kali!!!|

Of course, the Great Demon decided not to say such things to Luna.

He was still trapped in delusions, unable to overcome the pain of separation.

|Execute the plan!|

|Calm down, Luna. We may not have all the preparations in place yet…|

|It’s not necessary! Kali is in danger right now! How can we delay any longer when we don’t know what that guy will do to Kali! I can’t wait! I must rescue her before he hypnotizes and interrogates her! Before Kali shows him ‘a face I don’t know’!!!|

|…|

Luna started to rampage uncontrollably.

The Great Demon had a gut feeling.

This couldn’t be stopped.

No matter what you do, it’s impossible to stop it.

The Archdemon had long since given up and decided to join in the early activation of the plan.

|That might actually be the right answer······|

It was a somewhat reasonable judgment.

Once Kali fell into his hands, he had to eliminate him before he obtained critical information.

Even if he wasn’t fully prepared, it might be better to move faster, even if just for a day.

|The Elvengard, filled with spirit, is the beginning!|

It was time to bring death to the land of the elves.

“Is that true?”

“That’s what they say.”

“······.”

Kali replied curtly, stuffing bread into his mouth.

His appetite had increased significantly due to collapsing from hunger.

It was a disaster caused by not knowing that the human body required so many calories.

Meanwhile, Eugene, sitting across from him, was deeply troubled internally while showing no outward expression.

“So······. The other world is not just another world, but the soul of ‘that being’?”

“Yes. I heard that ‘that being’ also exists in the form of a spiritual body. However, the spiritual energy is so strong that it creates an illusion of material existence in the space where the spiritual body exists. As lower beings like us cannot distinguish between the illusion and reality, it can be considered real rather than an illusion.”

“······.”

In fact, the other world was not a world.

It was the inside of a Draken’s spiritual body.

The severe headache and pressure Eugene felt in the other world were nothing but the overwhelming presence of a giant spiritual body.

“Definitely. I erased those memories. I almost went crazy.”

Minor spiritual beings like spirits and ghosts generally do not have a significant impact on the real world.

However, if they grow to the size of a great spirit, they can interfere with reality.

If that spiritual body is the size of a ‘world,’ what would happen?

It would possess the power to create reality itself.

That was the true nature of the other world and the Draken.

“‘That being’ shows great interest in this world and often conveys ‘will’ to us······.”

The reason the other world is called the other world.

It is because it is located on the opposite side of the dimensional wall.

But that’s wrong.

The reason the other world appears as soon as you break through a wall is not because it is close or directly opposite to this world.

It is because the Draken is showing interest.

By transcending the vast expanse of dimensional space, a pathway for conveying ‘will’ has been opened.

Therefore, it only appeared as if breaking through one wall immediately connected to the other world.

“Wait a moment, I’ll go get some water.”

“Yes. Please do, Mijung.”

Eugene felt his stomach churning.

He felt strange, and his stomach was upset.

The uncomfortable feeling just wouldn’t leave his body.

Eugene had always thought that the other world was on the other side.

In reality, the Draken had been pulling the human forces towards itself by breaking through the dimensional wall.

The Draken was a much larger being than Eugene had imagined.

He had been using the wrong analogy all along.

A boss monster with invincible judgment in a game room?

No. The Draken was not like that at all; it was a monster with invincible cheat-level abilities.

In fact, Eugene had lost track of whether the term ‘monster’ was even appropriate.

‘The extermination of the Draken seems to be getting further away, but I have found a clue to defeat the Four Kings.’

The major upheaval that happened last time.

Eugene had speculated that the disappearance of the Draken’s power was the cause, but through Kali this time, he confirmed that his hypothesis was correct.

Therefore, the Four Emperors could not rely on Draken’s help or even contact him.

So, the Four Emperors were now abandoned by Draken.

They were like unemployed individuals who had lost their duty and responsibility to protect the dungeon.

“They are now on their own.”

The problem was that villains like Luna and Velfegor would not just sit quietly after losing their jobs.

The Four Emperors had made too many enemies so far.

Living a normal life here was impossible now.

They must be aiming for a breakthrough to overcome this crisis.

And there was only one plan that could be executed without relying on Draken’s power.

“Undead Legion.”

Although it required a lot of preparation and time.

There was no plan more optimized for dominating this world.

Without the ability to borrow Draken’s power now.

They would undoubtedly try to conquer the world with this “one shot.”

“Where is this…?”

“Elvengard. Long time no see.”

“Oh, I see. I vaguely remember coming here. Strangely, I can’t recall what I did here.”

Before she knew it, they had reached a magical forest.

When the view of a giant tree in the center appeared, Cali awkwardly replied.

It was a lie, but it was also true.

She truly couldn’t remember.

But she had a vague idea of what she had done here.

“In the past, I undoubtedly tried to destroy the World Tree…”

Elves had always been a nuisance.

A race that monopolized the rich energy of the World Tree.

They worshipped the World Tree as a god and sought to dominate it.

Elvengard must be destroyed to allow the roots of the World Tree to reach the ends of the planet.

The energy and magic of the World Tree must spread evenly throughout the world.

In the past, Cali was undoubtedly captivated by such beliefs.

And probably, no, definitely.

Cali must have killed countless elves in the process.

As easily as killing bugs.

But for some reason, Cali was afraid to talk about it.

It felt like she shouldn’t tell Eugene that she remembered killing elves.

If Eugene, as one of the Four Emperors, treated humans like bugs.

Why was she afraid to talk about it?

It was a difficult area to explain, a realm of animalistic instincts.

The moment she told this man that she remembered everything.

She had a premonition that her life would come to an end.
