Hunies was lost in thought at Onian’s words.

‘Cranosson?’

It was frustrating.

‘Humans?’

It was clear that Cranosson had sent them from the fact that they had his mark.

But why did he send humans instead of demons?

“What are we going to do?”

Echos asked. Raynom, Elekta, Aigos and Onian stared at Hunies waiting for an order.

Hunies finished thinking and spoke.

Even if they did not have Cranosson’s mark, he was going to kill them. Now that he knew they were related to Cranosson, they had to die.

“Do these people look strong?”

At Hunies words, Echos asked Onian.

“No? They didn’t look that strong to me.”

“Okay?”

At Onian’s answer, Echos stood up.

“I’ll deal with them quickly and come back.”

Echos spoke to Hunies and headed out past Onian.

Hunies said as Echos went out.

“I think we have to make our move.”

It was originally planned to wait until the war broke out. But things have changed. It felt like they had to move quickly.

“Hehe, are we leaving right now?”

“I’ll pass it on to the other kids as well!”

The demons were responding to Hunies’ words, when suddenly. Surprise appeared on the faces of all the demons in the house, including Hunies.

“Brother, the energy of Echos.”

“I think the humans…”

It was because the energy of Echos, who went out to hunt the humans, had disappeared.

That only meant one thing, he is dead.

‘They killed Echo in such a short amount of time?’

Echos was the second strongest demon in the town after Hunies.

Hunies got up from his seat saying.

“I don’t think they are normal humans…”

But before he could finish his words, Hunies had no choice but to shut his mouth in astonishment.

What!

In the place where the energy of Echoes disappeared, a huge wave of mana was felt.

*Bang*

Soon after, Hunies could hear an explosion.

‘Hellfire!’

Hellfire appeared burning the walls in a loud noise.

‘Can I resist it?’

Hunies thought as the spell approached at tremendous speed. Then he realized.

‘Damn.’

That he will not be able to resist it.

The demons that encountered Hellfire evaporated completely. They could not even last 2 seconds.

‘If only I had a high-class demon’s body.”

Hunies clenched his teeth.

His abilities were already comparable to a high-class demon, but his body was still intermediate.

It was very disappointing that he had not attained a high-class demon body yet.

Soon, the spell approached.

Hunies then reached a realization.

‘Even with a high-class demon body I can’t survive that.’

With that his thoughts were over.

Hellfire devoured Hunies as well.

“’Firestorm’, ‘Poison Storm’, ‘Hellfire’, ‘Child of Darkness’, ‘Child of Darkness’.”

After casting ranged spells towards each house in the town, Soo Hyuk finally summoned the children of darkness and checked his notifications.

[You have Cranosson’s Mark.]

[You have entered a suspicious town.]

[The quest ‘Spies’ has been created.]

It was a message that appeared when I showed the mark of Cranosson to the demons after entering the village.

– Acquired Intermediate Demon Soul Stone

– Acquired 2 Intermediate Demon Soul Stones

The drop window started updating, and Soo Hyuk checked his quest.

‘Spies’

This is a town founded by spies of the Kyrad faction, an opposing faction to the Amiletta faction.

Kill all the demons of the Kyrad faction and obtain the secret order!

[Demons: 4 / 11]

Quest Reward: Quest – Amiletta，Secret Order

The reason this place was not shown on the map was because it was not an official town.

“I was expecting to interact with the demons.”

Yeon Jeung muttered with a sad expression. Soo Hyuk looked around at his murmurs.

Buildings were burning, collapsing or melting in poison.

“It’s finished.”

Yeon Jeung said.

Soo Hyuk completed the quest and messages began to appear.

[You completed the quest ‘Spies’.]

[The quest ‘Amiletta’ has been created.]

[Obtained the secret order.]

After seeing the messages, Soo Hyuk immediately checked the quest ‘Amiletta’.

Amiletta, a city ruled by the Superior demon Amiletta.

Deliver the secret order to Amiletta, where she is.

‘Amiletta’!

(You can meet Amiletta through Cranosson’s mark.)

[Secret Order: 1 / 1]

Quest Reward: Quest – War

“Oh.”

After confirming the quest, Soo Hyuk exclaimed.

‘War?’

The reward of this linked quest was also a linked quest.

The quest name is ‘War’.

The war mentioned here was clearly a war with the Kyrad faction.

“Wow, did you check the quest?”

Like Soo Hyuk, Yeon Jeung exclaimed.

“Uh.”

“Isn’t this great?”

You could not find any of the regret that was on Yeon Jeung’s face anymore, there was only excitement.

‘Hmm.’

Soo Hyuk was not as excited as Yeon Jeung but he was also interested in the quest.

‘Amiletta.’

It was an opportunity to meet one of the two rulers of the 10th Demon World.

‘What is she like?’

Curious about Amiletta’s appearance, Soo Hyuk closed the quest window.

“Let’s go at once.”

He summoned a ghost wagon.

All buildings collapsed and all the demons were dead. They had no reason to be here anymore.

Yeon Jeung went up first and sat down in the driver’s seat. Soo Hyuk sat down in the passenger seat then Yeon Jeung began to drive.

“Why did you come here?”

“Can you lower the security level for special users?”

“Why?”

Jang Gyeong shook his head at Yang Joo Hyuk’s words and asked with a smile.

“Oh that”

Yang Joo Hyuk muttered at Jang Gyeong’s question. He could not think of any good reason. But he could not keep his mouth shut like this, so he continued.

“I’m curious. We need to know what’s going on so we can control it.”

“No.”

Jang Gyeong shook his head.

“Soon, we will raise the information rating of all users to the highest level.”

“Yes?”

Yang Joo Hyuk was astonished.

He is here to lower the security rating of special users, what does this have to do with the rest of users getting their information blocked?

“I believe in you.”

Jang Gyeong said to Yang Joo Hyuk.

“But the others are causing trouble.”

Something happened recently that should not have happened.

“Are you certain they sold users’ information?”

Yang Joo Hyuk asked with a hopeful expression.

“Yeah, they sold the information of tankers or promising users to the Emperor Group and the Hyunseong Group.”

Yang Joo Hyuk could not say anything at Jang Gyeong words.

Yang Joo Hyuk and Jang Yul are not the only operators. They were general managers, and many operators were under them.

“Okay.”

Yang Joo Hyuk, who was silent for a moment then answered.

Jang Gyeong smiled sadly and Yang Joo Hyuk left the room after saying his greetings.

*Tring*

After Yang Joo Hyuk went out, a notification sound was heard.

Jang Gyeong looked at his left monitor.

“Oh, finally.”

Looking at the monitor, Jang Gyeong smiled broadly.

“How long can you last?”

“Heal! I need to heal!”

Yunjin hurriedly shouted.

But no one answered from behind.

Yunjin blocked the demon’s claws and quickly fell back, then looked at the place where Leah was supposed to be.

‘How many are there!?’

The Hunting King was dealing with three demons, he was facing two demons. However, there were two more demons near Leah’s corpse.

“Hey, there are two more! That is why I suggested that we log out of town! What are we going to do now!”

Yunjin shouted, avoiding the demon’s claw once more.

The Hunting King could not answer.

‘Damn!’

In the current situation, there was nothing the Hunting King could do.

‘Were the intermediate-level demons this strong?’

It was not that they could not be killed. The Hunting King had already killed two, while Yunjin had killed one. However, there were seven intermediate demons still alive.

Suddenly

-!@#$@#%$

Incomprehensible words were heard nearby.

Then the intermediate level demons that were fighting them all retreated at once. The Hunting King then glanced at where the voice came from. When he saw the owner of the voice he frowned.

A high-level demon was approaching. It was not one either but three.

“Can you log out?”

The Hunting King asked Yunjin.

“Due to the recent patch I have to wait still for a minute, but will they leave me alone?”

Due to a recent patch, it took 1 minute to log out after battles.

Will the demons be still for a minute?

“Try to log out and if one of them tries to approach you I will take care of it.”

“Then what about you?”

Yunjin asked the Hunting King, but he received no answer.

“Are you going to die?”

“If I die, I have to take one of them with me.”

“Hey, then I can cover you till you log out!”

“Can you last a minute!? And I can afford to die anyway. Begin!”

The Hunting King then proceeded to log out with Yunjin.

-!@#$!!@#!@

Soon, higher-level demons arrived, and the demon in the middle opened his mouth. However, now that Leah is dead, they could not receive the interpretation magic so they could not understand what they were saying.

Then a high-class demon swung his hand and two black masses started flying towards the Hunting King and Yunjin.

‘Damn!’

The Hunting King clenched his teeth, avoiding the black mass that was flying towards him. Then he shouted, while wielding Yarion’s Wrath towards the black mass that flew towards Yunjin.

“Hougal’s protection!”

[You received the protection of Hougal.]

[You can destroy spells with physical attacks for 10 seconds.]

A blue light shone on Yarion’s Wrath then it split the black mass as it was.

‘Shit!’

The attack was blocked, but the logout was canceled, and the Hunting King looked at the higher-level demons with annoyed eyes.

-!©#$!©#$

Then the high-ranking demons muttered again.

‘Faster.’

The Hunting King aimed his sword at the high-level demons and waited for Yunjin’s logout to end.

*Woosh*

Soon, Yunjin’s character disappeared. He successfully logged out.

The Hunting King laughed at the fact that at least one of them had successfully logged out. However, his laughter did not last long.

It was because the high-ranking demon who shot the black mass disappeared from his place and reappeared in front of him. The Hunting King reflexively swung his sword. However, the attack of the high-level demon was faster.

*Boom*

The fists of a High-level demon were brought down at the Hunting King’s chest, which led to him flying back from the impact. The Hunting King checked his vitality.

‘That one attack took off 10% of my hp?’

His health was 70% before the attack and now it is 60%.

The Hunting King hurried to stand up after his body smashed to a wall and fell to the ground.

‘They are at different levels.’

He had already experienced the strength of a high-class demon in the Middle World.

Of course, not all high-class demons are at the same level, but the high-class demons of the 10th Demon World were different from the ones he experienced in the Middle World.

‘How am I supposed to handle this?’

The Hunting King looked at the High-Class demon approaching him with complicated eyes.
