Night had arrived.
The night sky looked as if the stars would rain down as if they were snowflakes.
Rustle.
“Alberu.”
Alberu Crossman turned his head toward the voice behind him.
“Aunt.”
Tasha walked toward him.
She was one of the few people here who knew of Alberu in his current appearance.
"Why don’t you sleep for a bit?”
Alberu shook his head while looking at Tasha’s concerned gaze.
“I slept a bit earlier.”
“Are you talking about the one hour you slept?”
Tasha clicked her tongue and stood next to Alberu.
Tasha’s eyes looked at her nephew whose face was covered by a mask as he was in his quarter Dark Elf appearance.
She could feel the fatigue and pressure on her nephew even with the mask covering half of his face.
She looked down to look at where her nephew was looking.
“I don’t know when that black barrier would disappear.”
The black barrier that was covering this large hole was visible even underneath the night sky.
It could not be helped.
There were numerous people gathered a bit away from the black barrier.
The Mercenaries Guild without the Mercenary King.
The Dark Elf and Elf Alliance.
The mages who follow Rosalyn.
The people from the Molan Household.
There were numerous other people gathered by the black barrier as well, and the lights were not going off even in the middle of the night.
Tasha started to speak while looking at that.
“They will only become more chaotic as time passes by.”
Alberu started to frown.
Tasha noticed his gaze and opened her mouth to speak again.
“Your majesty.”
But someone speaking stopped her from talking.
“I’ll be heading out now.”
Tasha left so that the two people could be alone.
The other person walked up to where Tasha had been standing.
“Your majesty.”
He started to speak again to Alberu who did not respond.
“Bob.”
“Do you want to die?”
Pfft.
Duke Fredo chuckled.
He started to speak to Alberu who was glaring at him.
“The Western continent is quieter than I expected. The Eastern continent as well.”
“Is there any reason for it to not be quiet?”
“...Mm, Cale Henituse's absence?”
Alberu looked away from Fredo.
‘Damn it.’
He actually did not have time to chat with Fredo nor even his aunt.
Cale Henituse's absence.
The fact that the vow of death was cut.
Choi Han and Alberu were not the only ones who knew about this.
There were a lot of people.
There was a meeting that took place in the Jungle's Section 7 shores in the past.
At the end of that meeting, the representatives of four kingdoms and one tribe gathered together and made a vow of death.
Prince John of the Breck Kingdom.
Litana, the Queen of the Jungle.
Witira, the future Whale Queen.
Harol, the Whipper Kingdom's Toonka’s chief advisor.
And Alberu and Cale, as the representatives of the Roan Kingdom.
All those people had made a vow of death in order to maintain the secret.
‘The Western continent is quiet, as Fredo mentioned.’
At least that was how it seemed on the outside.
Alberu knew that his tent would be extremely loud with video communication devices going off with calls from the Breck Kingdom, Whipper Kingdom, the Jungle, and the Whale tribe once he went in.
Alberu had to explain things differently to all of them.
There were not many people he could trust enough to tell everything.
The reason the Western continent was quiet was because the leaders were keeping the fact that Cale Henituse was missing because of the Demonic race a secret.
Alberu and the Roan Kingdom’s chief executives were busy controlling the information going out with the other kingdom’s chief executives nonstop.
Alberu escaped from there for a moment.
He was a bit tired.
He was a bit worn out.
He wanted to relax and rest for a bit.
‘...Damn it. Even that doesn’t work.’
He couldn't relax and catch a breath.
It was not because there was too much work.
‘My shoulders feel heavy.’
Underneath that black barrier...
He had no idea what might pop up from the Endable Kingdom.
Raon had told him some of what was going on after chatting with Eruhaben earlier, but Eruhaben's side was still unable to properly deliver any messages about the Endable Kingdom right now.
He always had to prepare for the worst.
The weight of having to do so was heavy.
But Alberu was thinking that it would have been okay if that was the only thing.
“...Cale Henituse.”
That bastard.
And one other bastard.
‘I decided to make a deal. I’ll be back soon.’
Choi Han.
Alberu’s heart sank while thinking about these two people.
“It feels so stuffy.”
“Hmm? Isn't it cool in here?”
The shields on both the northern and the southern sides crumbled.
That made the furious monsters explosively charge forward in their place.
“Go!”
Park Jin Tae shouted to Choi Han and Choi Han quickly headed for the door.
Park Jin Tae was covering Choi Han's back as he shouted.
“Kim Rok Soo, what is that bastard doing?!”
The monsters almost instantly got up to the building.
“We had a plan! Why isn’t he going through with it?!”
It was the moment he shouted in anger.
{It is now the promised time.}
He heard Lee Jin Joo's voice.
Park Jin Tae covered his ears.
They had discussed this in advance.
Her voice would reach everything within its range.
Cale raised his hand.
Lee Jin Joo nodded her head and Cale lowered his hand.
{Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!}
An extremely loud and high-pitched voice shook the area.
It felt as if the world was rumbling.
“Roooooooar!”
“Cooooooooooooo!”
“Screeeech-!”
The charging monsters reached for their ears.
There was blood dripping out of all of their ears. Some of the weaker Grade 3 monsters started to stumble and fall as well.
The charging monsters stopped moving for a moment.
And at that moment.
They could see some human hands on top of the roof.
There were extremely weak psychokinesis or weak gusts of wind coming out of the tips of those hands.
There were others with very weak abilities as well.
Finally, there were some strong people without any abilities.
All these people who were not much help during hunts were on the roof ledge with earplugs in.
They looked to see the silent order.
Cale's hand moved down once again.
“Drop them all!”
They started to push with everything they had once Cale gave the signal.
The ability users activated their abilities to their fullest extent.
Plop.
The items they had moved to the roof since last night without stopping started to fall.
Boooom!
A large piece of a building fell down.
“Roooooooooar!”
“Crooooooooo!”
Three monsters fell after being hit by that large piece of a building.
That was the beginning.
Pieces of the buildings and all sorts of things started to fall on the Grade 3 monsters behind them.
“Rooooooooooar!”
“Screeeeeeech!”
They continued to hear the monsters screaming.
“Rooooooooooooar!”
Park Jin Tae watched a monster in front of him falling over after a sharp chunk of cement landed on its head.
“Kahahaha!”
Park Jin Tae started to laugh.
He turned around after feeling someone pulling him at that moment.
"What are you doing?”
Choi Han had pulled him in and the people inside the building quickly started to close the door.
Screeeeeech- boom!
The door was closed.
They then almost instantly piled heavy things in front of the closed door.
The first-floor windows were boarded with wooden planks and other items as well.
Park Jin Tae ignored all of this and immediately started to run to the roof.
‘Kim Rok Soo, this bastard, he really...’
He had quickly run up to the roof and started to speak while looking down.
‘This bastard, Kim Rok Soo, he really-’
“He really knows how to use his head!”
Grandma Kim looked down as well.
She then walked over to Cale who was standing by Lee Jin Joo and grabbed his hand.
“Rok Soo, some walls were created as you said.”
Monsters were piling up around the square building.
Pieces of buildings were piling up with them.
This was another wall that would protect the central shelter.
Park Jin Tae walked over to Cale.
“This should make it difficult for the other monsters to approach.”
Grandma Kim nodded her head.
“Yes. It should take some time for them to climb over these monsters and debris to attack. Good job.”
But the smile quickly disappeared from Park Jin Tae's face.
“Kim Rok Soo, everything happened just as you said it would.”
Cale started to look elsewhere.
Park Jin Tae continued to speak while looking at him.
“Some Grade 1 monsters should attack soon if things go as you said, right?”
Park Jin Tae could see the Grade 2 monsters slowly revealing themselves behind the Grade 3 monsters.
“You said that Grade 1 monsters would appear after the Grade 3 monsters disappear but before the Grade 2 monsters start coming.”
Cale closed his eyes and then reopened them.
In the past...
As there was a shift from the Grade 3 monsters to the Grade 2 monsters...
A small number of Grade 1 monsters had appeared.
It was as if they were tasters, giving a taste of the true attack from the Grade 1 monsters that would soon come.
‘At that time.’
Cale made eye contact with Park Jin Tae who was looking at him.
“Is it doable?”
Cale continued to think while listening to Park Jin Tae ask him a question.
‘You died at that time.’
The people who protected this building and tried to buy the others time to escape had all died because of just a few Grade 1 monsters.
