Deudeudeu—!

As soon as the door opened, monsters from the Restricted Area poured out. The number of name tags floating above their heads was so large it was difficult to even distinguish them.

[Malice-filled Goblin (Lv.210)]

[Malice-filled Red Wolf (Lv.212)]

[Malice-filled Skeleton (Lv.215)]

The types themselves didn’t feel that special. However, their pitch-black eyes and rugged physiques were completely different from the ones he originally knew.

—Hi.

—Welcome.

—Is this your first time in the Restricted Area?

—But was the passage really in this state?

—When we came, it was a flower path…

—Heilen Proctor Re-evaluation…

—Yeah, still a crazy guy though.

The viewers who had progressed through the episode like a guidebook showed surprised reactions at the revealed truth. Because when they arrived here, they would have only seen the passage neatly tidied up by Heilen.

Ttiring—

[Cuckoo has donated 5,000 won.]

[Epi 7 players are having a hard time persuading the Margrave.]

News from outside was brought by the viewer Cuckoo. The players trying to start Episode 7 now were not the people who had experienced the reset. Since the update had started a while after Episode 6 ended, those who chose the reset would be in the middle of diligently progressing through the story. In other words, no matter how much a player who moved according to the guidebook tried to follow Han-bit, they were bound to go astray.

‘It will only waste time.’

The Margrave was a man who became even more cautious the more urgent his mind became. Han-bit had appealed with the existence of spirits, but if there hadn’t been an announcement regarding Investigation Team candidates issued nationwide, persuasion would have been difficult. Support added with the King’s sincerity had that much power. But for a player who progressed following the guidebook to receive the same level of support as Han-bit’s party? It was an absolutely impossible thing. In other words, things outside should be considered not worth paying attention to. If they lost time there, it would be a less annoying and good thing.

Sarak—

Glacier’s chill was condensing along Han-bit’s sword blade. Sensing the power filled to the limit, he stepped forward and swung his sword.

Syuik—!

The sword blade drew a large trajectory as it was slashed horizontally. And.

Huuk—!

A tremendous storm of chill rushed forward.

Kwadedeudeu—!

Chill covered the ground below the entrance and swept over the monsters in an instant. They were engulfed in ice, but for now, it was only to the extent of their feet being tied.

“Sylph, blow them far away.”

Huuk—!

When he scattered the dozens of prisms contained in the pouch, Sylph’s wind naturally floated them. The transparent pieces that flew while bobbing passed over the monsters’ heads and spread widely inside.

“Lumia!”

At the same time, No-eul’s voice echoed through the space. It was immediately after that an intense radiance erupted from the sphere of light that floated upwards.

Pat—!

The light that stretched forward entered one prism. And that unique spirit light split into dozens, hundreds, and flew towards other prisms.

Pat—!

Pabat—!

Light covered the maze as if connecting prism to prism. The change appeared soon after.

Kieek—!

Keugeugeuk—!

Groans mixed with pain began to echo throughout the maze. Han-bit, who righted his sword, kicked off the ground towards the front.

Tuduk—!

Right then, the frozen monsters wriggled and escaped from the binding. Han-bit, who watched that, dug in between them.

Huuk—!

Movements blended together with the wind wrapping his body. It was the Storm’s Sword Dance.

Seogeok—!

Chwaak—!

The sword’s trajectory, drawn elegantly as if dancing, dropped the monsters’ necks one after another. Their hard skin and leather were useless. The Sword of the Nebula emitted five-colored light. Because they couldn’t overcome that weapon of a different level and the power of spirits.

“Tch.”

Haneul, who followed behind as per Han-bit’s instructions, expressed dissatisfaction at the enemy that wasn’t cut in one go. The Dagger of the Silver Moon she possessed was excellent, but in the Restricted Area, improvements suited for it were bound to be necessary. Of course, individual stats would also have to develop more.

Seogeok—!

Han-bit, who cleared the entrance at a fast speed, entered inside the maze.

Keureureuk—!

Kiek—!

Monsters affected by the light spread through the prisms were filling the maze.

Sarak—

Cracks of light were seen all over their bodies. They were in a weakened state as if they had fallen into a debuff effect.

“Stay a bit apart and move freely. If you see a big guy, don’t go near him.”

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

The twins spread out to both sides while widening the distance a bit more.

Hwareuk—!

Salion’s flames began to mix into the Storm’s Sword Dance that still continued. The effect, as if the range of the sword blade had expanded, slaughtered the monsters at a tremendous speed.

Hwaak—!

Kieek—!

The enemies weakened by the light met death with various parts of their bodies being sliced. Enemies that didn’t reach that range were being tidied up by the twins’ hands.

Tadat—!

Han-bit, maintaining his speed, gradually rushed into the depths. As it wasn’t an expanse-like size, the number of monsters decreasing soon came into view. And an individual different from the ordinary ones also revealed its presence.

Kung—!

A large-bodied Orc that was behind a bent maze wall appeared. It was also in a state of being affected by the light, but the massive double-edged axe held in its hand looked threatening.

Chwaak—!

Han-bit ran towards that place while slashing the monsters blocking the way. The Orc that sensed the enemy also reacted immediately.

Kung—!

The foot of the guy that fell on the ground created an impact along with a strong roar.

Seureuk—

Black haze began to bloom around the guy’s body. It was a phenomenon that appeared in existences that received the energy of malice more strongly.

[Elite: Malice-filled Orc (Lv.220)]

The modifier attached before the name as if to manifest that difference. Of course, to Han-bit, it was just one of the monsters to be processed.

Seogeok—!

Slashing the last monster, he rushed forward. The Orc, which instead stepped forward, slammed down the axe held with both hands fiercely.

Huuk—!

The attack falling with tremendous momentum was a sight as if even a house was being struck down. But Han-bit didn’t avoid it.

Syuik—!

The five-colored sword pulled up from below headed to the upper part. At the same time, the sharp blades of the two weapons collided.

Kaang—!

Huuk—!

Aftereffects spread to the surroundings with a cheerful sound. Even in that impact, Han-bit’s feet didn’t retreat even a little. On the other hand, the situation of the Orc that had applied the attack with great momentum was different.

Jjeojeok—

A crack was created in the center of the large axe blade. Both arms that were bounced off by the impact were in a state of being frozen in that posture. The foot that had stepped down boldly was also pushed back.

—Ugh;

—He’s truly a strength character.

—Are you winning against a Restricted Area elite mob with strength?

—Possible because of his stat bug level.

Keureuk—!

At the unexpected result, the Orc was flustered. Some of the monsters in the Restricted Area were born with more intelligence. It was still at the lowest level to discuss intellect, but it was enough to feel something called fear.

Deudeuk—

The Orc holding the tattered axe retreated step by step. But the instinct to live was also just as great.

Kung—!

The Orc standing at the crossroads of life and death made a decision. To kill the enemy in order to live. It was a heart that was too simple and instinctive.

Kwang—!

The guy who tightly grasped the handle of the axe rushed in while kicking off the ground. Perhaps because it was standing at the edge of a cliff, its movements were faster and rougher than before.

Huuk—!

The blade of the large axe falling above Han-bit’s head. Facing that calmly, he once again struck the sword upwards.

Kaang—!

The sword blade drawing a calculated trajectory accurately struck the crack in the axe.

Kwaduk—!

One side of the axe’s blade that received the impact again collapsed helplessly. The center axis revealed shabbily and the remaining axe blade hung meagerly. Now it was a meaningless battle.

Tat—!

Kicking off the ground, Han-bit continued the attack as it was.

Kang—!

Kaang—!

At the sword driving in at a fast speed, the Orc was flustered. It tried to block while swinging the shabby axe, but it was burdensome to even follow with the eyes.

Kwaduk—!

Chwaak—!

The axe blade continued to break and deep wounds increased in various places. Before it could even re-evaluate the judgment to live, an attack half a beat faster flew in.

Seogeok—!

The handle of the axe was cut by the five-colored sword blade and fell to the floor.

Kung—

The Orc, who became empty-handed, stepped forward with a trembling body. And at the same time as it threw a punch dripping with blood.

Puuk—!

Han-bit’s sword was deeply embedded in the heart.

Kung—!

The Orc’s giant body sat down on the ground while kneeling.

Ppeudeuk—!

Han-bit twisted the sword blade and delivered a finishing blow. It was one of the habits he had in the Restricted Area.

Chwaak—!

Han-bit, who pulled out the sword, landed lightly on the ground. The Orc’s movement was no longer felt.

—Somehow the Orc looked pitiful.

—Literally got beaten up;

—I think it was contemplating whether to run away for a bit in the middle. lol

—???: Say that you want to live!

—Then will you spare it?

—No.

“Black Dragon-nim!”

He turned his gaze at the heard voice. The appearance of the twins running from afar was seen. At the same time, an alarm rang in the ears.

Ttiring—

[Sub Quest has been completed.]

[Settlement of the Sub Quest has been completed.]

[Obtained 30,000,000 gold.]

[50 Stat Points are given.]

[Experience points have increased by 50,000,000.]

[Level has increased by 2.]

[2 Stat Points are given.]

[The Main Quest branch of Episode 7 is reset.]

[The overall rewards for the Main Quest of Episode 7 increase significantly.]

Monsters were tidied up without a single one missing. The sub quest led to a change in the soon-to-be-progressed Episode 7.

“Whew, it was really tough.”

“I was flustered because magic didn’t go in as well as expected. As expected, I’m still very lacking.”

The twins wore frustrated expressions as if they felt keenly about their respective deficiencies. The reason was clear.

“Don’t worry too much. It’s because you haven’t properly prepared your skills or equipment yet.”

He hadn’t provided full preparation for the twins. Partly because they moved immediately after the server opened, but primarily because he wanted them to properly face the Restricted Area. It was a heart wishing for them to grow while solidly building the foundation.

‘…I seem like some master.’

Actions naturally shifted thanks to the twins’ talent and effort. It was to the point of being funny how he had once said firmly that he wouldn’t take disciples.

‘I wonder if she’s doing well here too.’

The face of the only disciple he had taken in the other world flashed by. Would he be able to protect that child here? Or was it the right choice to not meet her this time as well?

“Hoo.”

Shaking his head to brush off his thoughts, Han-bit turned his gaze to the black door in the corner. A problem that wasn’t discovered in advance due to a soldier’s blunder appeared. The magic circle that would have been used as a locking device was torn out entirely.

“What kind of situation is this again.”

Right then, someone’s voice was heard from beyond the maze on the fortress side. Turning his gaze, Han-bit discovered a tall man walking delinquently with his hands in his pockets.

[Investigation Team Proctor Heilen]

The name tag floated above his head. The dazzling white hair and the scar leading from the nose to the cheek were like his identity.

Tat—

“Hey.”

Heilen reached the front of Han-bit in the blink of an eye. It was so fast it would have looked like teleportation to other people’s eyes.

“This, did you do it?”

A question that was just like a provocation whose emotion couldn’t be known was asked. But Han-bit knew. That he was manifesting an unprecedentedly strong curiosity.

“We did it. The Investigation Team was slower than expected.”

“Ha. Do you know who I am to spout such bullshit?”

At the sarcasm thrown out, Heilen’s expression scrunched up. Han-bit continued his words calmly.

“Investigation Team Proctor Heilen. You’re the only person who would come looking for this place at this time, right?”

“Right, so you’re saying you spat out such dogshit while knowing?”

—??

—Black Dragon, this is a bit…

—You’re using informal speech to this guy?

—Informal speech isn’t the problem, he’s picking a fight.

—You must never touch Heilen.

—His personality is coming out. We’re screwed.

—Emergency emergency emergency emergency

Viewers were flustered by the conversation that continued as if they were almost going to fight. However, Heilen’s expression seen only by Han-bit was different from that atmosphere.

“Interesting.”

The proctor who gave a smirk watched Han-bit. Then, pointing at the black door connected to the Restricted Area, he continued his words.

“The test starts immediately. I’ll push you into hell, so try to live up to the expectations.”

Ttiring—

[Episode 7: Restricted Area]

[Main Quest #1: Encounter]

A test that started immediately upon meeting Proctor Heilen. They didn’t know the content or anything, but it seemed he must live up to his expectations.

Objective: Move to the Restricted Area with Heilen.

*Current Progression Rate: 0%
