Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Chapter 140 – Trauma (10)

“Is what we saw really the gateway to the Pandemonium? You may be mistaken. It is the power of the demon king to open the dimensional gate, but isn’t the demon king dead?”

“I don’t know either. In fact, all I did was fight as I was told. I think Ersilla, who was diligently researching such things, would know.”

After reporting to Serenian, Pia continued to discuss with Hans. It was a discussion about what they really saw just before retreating.

When the demon army started attacking with a great invasion. The first thing that appeared was the gateway to the demon realm that the devil himself opened. The gateways connecting different worlds poured out the demon army to the continent, and thanks to this, it was possible for the demon king army to dispatch troops here and there regardless of the terrain and geography of the continent.

It was also the reason why the entire continent was involved in the Great War rather than being concentrated in one area.

“I have heard Ersilla talking to human wizards and beast tribe shamans. It seems like they said that since the gateway to the Demon Realm is not naturally formed, to close it, you must kill a special enemy who became a living sacrifice to open the gateway.”

“Opening a door as a sacrifice of a living subject is just a bastard idea.”

Hans hated Pia’s words after searching through the memories of his clear brain. As the saying goes, the gateway to the demon world that the demon king opens is a kind of terrible black magic that opens at the cost of sacrifices.

Sacrifices were very important because they shared their lives with the gates, and in the case of important gates, the demon king’s army officers voluntarily offered themselves as sacrifices.

“If what we saw was really the gateway to the Pandemonium, the sacrificial offerings that have crossed over to this place must be somewhere. We must kill him.”

“Right.”

Pia nodded at Hans’ words. The fact that the gateway has been opened means that the sacrificial offering that serves as the medium has already passed over.

It was best to kill him as quickly as possible to prevent any unexpected incidents.

“Avoid everyone! Two Guida! I’ll deal with you!”

And when Hans and Pia speculated about this and that and talked about what they knew.

In a completely different place, completely different people were fighting something they knew nothing about.

‘How?’

The leader of the hunter team, Baek Seung-chan, pushed back the teammate he had barely saved, wide-eyed at the appearance of a new monster emerging from the dark dungeon wall.

The fact that another gateway opens in the dungeon and a new enemy emerges from there is an incident that has never been reported before.

‘No. Can do!’

Baek Seung-chan gritted his teeth at the orc who grinned at him and charged at him with his sword. Perhaps it was thanks to the confidence that had already been filled to the brim, but rather than fear, a sense of triumph came to a boil.

A new type of monster that I have only heard of through rumors. It is known that there is a big difference between individuals, but they are strong enough to be measured as being above C grade on average.

If you kill a bear, your performance and reputation will increase that much. Coincidentally, the other team members and the development team leader Kim Dong-chun were looking at him with surprised eyes, so there is no opportunity like this.

“Ouch…”

However, the moment when the orc wielding the ax and the first sword to sword. He felt an excruciating pain all over his body and pushed back.

“—-!!!”

The roaring and smirking orc was a completely different enemy from the monsters he had faced so far. Only their habits and ecology are different, but their intelligence is no different from that of humans, and they are physically superior to humans.

Baek Seung-chan drew out and wore the strong frost wind, a unique ability that made him a promising prospect, but the unique combat skills that orcs use using mana are at best a rookie hunter who has been training for several years. Was not strong enough to withstand.

‘I will die.’

The orc who escaped the gate broke his sword with just two strikes and raised an ax at the fallen man. The other team members came to their senses and tried shooting, but the strength the orc wore was enough to deflect the bullets and damage them.

Baek Seung-chan couldn’t even scream when he saw the ax coming down at him, and he froze. He had no idea that death would come so quickly and so absurdly.

“This is…”

“Why are you standing there blankly! Don’t dodge right away!”

But the orc’s ax cut him in half and couldn’t kill him. With a strong shock, the strong red mana of the orc collided with the blue power that appeared in the air and was pushed back.

Kim Dong-chun screamed in anger at Baek Seung-chan, who was watching the scene with wide-eyed eyes as he lost his senses.

Until then, the orc could not break through the blue power that blocked him, so he screamed in anger and wielded an ax at random.

“You, when did you learn this power? Aren’t you retired!?”

“It’s not the power I learned to use like this.”

Kim Dong-chun was naturally shocked to see Seung-hyeon’s power changed from the past, but Seung-hyeon learned about the management of mana in return from Pia, an elven shaman, so he couldn’t honestly say that his power had changed.

“I need a way to close it.”

Seonghyeon reversed the orc that was unable to pierce the strength he had pulled up, broke through the resistance, and tried to slit his neck, but failed.

An orc that had newly appeared at the gateway roared and threw a javelin to interfere.

While Seunghyeon blocked it, the orcs pouring out of the gate protected the first orc that appeared and at the same time thrust their weapons at the panicked hunters.

“Stay still here.”

Seonghyeon, who had blue flames all over his body due to the evolution of telekinesis, used the magic he had learned from Pia in such a situation. A basic spell that creates a barrier by covering a certain space with your own power.

The new hunters, who were terrified by the force of the orcs, as well as Kim Dong-chun, widened their eyes in surprise when they saw the blue curtain rising from the blue flames spreading across the floor in front of them.

“Where are you going!?”

“I have to kill them.”

At the same time, he himself exited the tent and faced the orcs alone.

“This is crazy. Dealing with all of them alone makes no sense! Just cover, we can get out of here and call backup!”

Embarrassed, Dongchun Kim stopped Seunghyeon. Due to the nature of Orcs capable of tactical actions such as pass and dust, of course, the stronger they are in a group, the stronger they become. He thought that with the power of Seonghyeon Kim Dongchun knew, he would not be able to defeat all the orcs.

‘The level of the rookies is too poor. If you start moving while performing a retreat maneuver, there will always be a variable.’

However, Seunghyun did not want to risk even a single variable. Because he knew very well that if someone died in front of his eyes again, his heart would collapse.

In other words, the surest way in this situation is to believe only in yourself and move. He grabbed the black dagger from his bosom and swung it at dozens of orcs rushing towards him.

It is true that he had been away from the field for a long time, but he had been watching the battles using mana more closely than anyone else recently, so he had that much confidence.

“What is it? Do you know something about this dagger?”

The sharpened telekinesis was combined with the magic sword’s amplification ability to burn with pure power and become one huge slash.

As the bursting blue slash raised each mana and split the bodies of the attacking orcs all at once and threw them to pieces, the first orc to appear pointed at his dagger and said something, but that was all.

The upper and lower body of the man, who was a sacrifice to open the gate, was cut off and lay on the floor. The gate was closed at once, and all that remained was the clear and huge traces of Seunghyeon’s slash.

‘There must have been a condition for the door to close.’

He lifted up the corpse of the dead victim and checked the intricate patterns hidden under the flowing armor. The pattern engraved on the skin was the same as the pattern engraved around the gate, so there was no need to interpret its meaning.

“What the hell have you been doing all this time?”

However, the situation was not completely over. Thinking he had all the information he could get, he trampled on the corpses of the orcs and turned around, but there were people, including Kim Dong-chun, looking at him with dazed faces.

‘S-class..!’

Especially Baek Seung-chan looked at him with a shocked face.

For him, who was aiming to reach that level by using famous high-ranking hunters as role models rather than quite a few celebrities, the power that Seung-hyeon, who did not even know his face, showed was like a miracle.

“I believe that everyone knows what happened today, and if it leaks out, it will be a big problem. Everyone here will be punished if the fact that you entered a dungeon that does not fit your rank is known as the company’s order.”

Seunghyun finally opened his mouth while receiving such stares. It was because he had an intuition that he would be annoyed if he didn’t remind him of the Hamgu-ryeong.
