ought of this cave to be something which should be overcome.

“These ones lack loyalty.”

The wolves from a while back, perhaps seeing the leader dead, ran away.

“At that time, why was the time bond was broken… I get it.”

While reviewing the fight with the monster, Seol-Hwi thought of the past, the fight with the Heavenly Demon.

At that time, a special technique called Ice Field Compression was used, which had to be the best.

But the Heavenly Demon broke it down and cut his head.
This meant that he had a greater grasp on the flow of time than what Seol-Hwi had.

“That… it must be the difference between Profound Demon and Supreme Demon.”

He was looking at the vast sea and the Heavenly Demon must be looking down from the sky.

No, maybe he was looking out at the whole world.

“Now it can be explained.
Both the abilities I have, and which way I need to go.”

The ability of the Simulation.
And he learned what the nature of a time binding ability does to the body.

One by one like this—

If he stepped on the basics and moved ahead, he would surely not wander any longer once he reached Supreme Demon.

He will know where he needed to go.

When two months passed—

People were busy moving in the temporary barracks around the cave.
Because of the rain the day before, they were busy servicing the warehouse and supplies.

“When will the reinforcements come…”

Bok Chwi-myung, the person in charge here, complained.

There were five people managing the cave.
And took a lot of work to keep an eye on the monsters to make sure they did not go out of control and to put in food periodically.

When it rained as such, water leaked into the place, making it inconvenient to manage.

“It isn’t easy to raise a secret warrior at all.”

“Captain.”


Bok Chwi-myung’s eyes widened, as he came out.

Na Gak, who can be considered the manager, came there.
Unlike the leader, Na Gak was in charge of all management responsibilities for training secret warriors.

To him, he was a superior figure.

“When did you get here?”

“Well.
I just came to get some fresh air.”

Tuk

When Na Gak came and sat in the chair, Bok Chwi-myung too sat down.

“I heard the rumors.
They saw that the Fourth Disciple is in a lot of trouble these days.”

“He seems to be making a pretty important decision.
It sounds like you are going through a lot because of…”

“We kind of expected this.
It was also something known for us all to not leave the positions…”

“It was decided by higher ups.
We need to care for the place.”

“I understand.”

The two had a brief exchange of words.
With a few words of regards, the topic was changed.

“Right, it has been quite some time now… isn’t it right that the body should be collected now?”

“Dead body…?”

“Yeah, the kid who came in two months back.
There is only one child who was there and you don’t even remember.”

“Ah, that child.
Haha.”

Bok Chwi-myung nodded.
And when he saw him resting, Na Gal asked with a puzzled look.

“What? Is he still alive?”

“Yes.”

“How? Did you check?”

At that, Bok Chwi-myung said,

“I didn’t check it personally, but… he is surely alive.
We also confirmed that the number of the beasts within had decreased.”

“The number of beasts? Could it be that the kid is killing them?”

“Huh.
It cannot be.
They said he was a mere warrior with no rank in the Supreme Pavilion…”

“I heard that too.”

“Hmm.”

There was a moment of silence.

The beasts within the cave had strong bodies and strength which surpassed those of skilled warriors.
Moreover, among the monsters which made up the groups, there are those who can make even the best warriors flinch.

Dealing with those people does not mean that they are that skilled.

“What about the White Spirit?”

“They died a long while back.”

“Black beasts?”

“Been a month.”

“Feeding Ghost? Could it be that he died too?”

“…Yes.”


“Hahaha.
Hahahaha!”

Na Gak broke into laughter.

Honestly, he was not sure what to say, the ones he mentioned were all skilled.

But the beasts within, they could jump up and down the ceiling, and their skin was thick like leather was layered on it, and the beasts also loved blood.

In the darkness, which was their home, they were furious.

Did most of the chosen ones not survive this by avoiding not to fight a certain beast?

“Lost Soul headed Ghost? It cannot be that it was caught.”

“He was in a deep sleep when…”

“Right.
Had to be.”

Na Gak was a bit flustered by the question.
Originally the beast mentioned was not a beast in the cave.
So, it was not something to be caught here.

“Still, it is amazing.
At this point, I think he should be asked to come out.”

“I was trying to say that too, but…”

“But?”

“With the rain yesterday, the entrance to the cave collapsed.”

“What?”

Bok Chwi-myung scratched his head.

“I made the subordinates dig starting in the morning but there are stones and it might take days…”

“That is why the reinforcements…”

“Yes.”

Na Gak nodded, understanding.

“Fine, let me report to the higher ups.
We need to restore the place too.”

“Thank you.”

Only then did Bok Chwi-myung’s face brighten.

It was like he found life again.

Tuk

The two of them got up, and Na Gak was about to leave, but then it looked like he remembered something.

“But you see.”

“Yes?”

“If the cave is like this, would it not also affect the ban placed by the priests?”

“I do not know about that, they will ask the Ghastly Troops.”

“No.
You don’t have to… It isn’t something which will worsen the situation.”

“Well… they are Second Disciple’s subordinates.”

Bok Chwi-myung understood the intentions of Na Gak.

“It wouldn’t be a huge thing.
See you then.”

Na Gak said so and turned.

He was a bit worried about the ban placed on the cave being affected, but he did not bother the guy too much.
It was because the reporting process was too much.

And the ban would not be broken that easily.
