Chapter 150 (2/2)

—You know, I don’t think you are stupid Do you remember what I told you at the Academy?

Chi-Woo nodded

[Did it all look easy? Since you defeated a God, you thought you could easily defeat a demon?]

[You were really lucky then to have coet? Chi-Woo knehere he stood

—I don’t think you would’ve made the same mistake… It htly while stroking his chin

—It’s not loyalty that co on luck to complete the reedy for merits, but from what I know of you, you are the risk-averse type You don’t enjoy earning great profits by undertaking high risks You prioritize safety and aren’t dying to kill yourself So, it makes me even more curious about the reason why you joined the detachain He saw the path the rescue tea the path the infiltration unit would take from now on

“…” Chi-Woo suddenly reainst the wall a couple ti in fear of death To overcoain; and at that time, he learned one important lesson: it was hu decision in itself, but if one really wanted to live, they needed to carefully choose the ‘direction’ they would escape in And this direction wasn’t necessarily one that would ier, and when Chi-Woo realized this fact, he got a ained a new ability

‘It’s exactly because I want to live,’ Chi-Woo finally answered

—…What?

Philip looked taken aback, but Chi-Woo turned to leave without saying another word

There was a saying that fighting with one’s life on the line would lead to survival, while living cowardly would surely lead to death Chi-Woo had already prepared to die, and he didn’t think that he was going to survive for sure Nevertheless, there was one reason why Chi-Woo wanted to ht into the Unknown’, told him that the path to survival wasn’t behind hian, and the detach a distance and keeping quiet Everyone crouched down andin the shadows of the hills as they slowly made their way to their destination Before they knew it, the detachment had completely moved out of the forest and stepped into where the hilly areas were joined As they ht

The non-stop explosions had lasted till sunset, but now, there was an eerie silence surrounding the city, as if the opposing forces were now in a standstill The heroes had beenforward one small step after another, and then, Chi-Woo felt his whole body start to slowly stiffen His body felt heavy, and he became out of breath; he wasn’t sure if it was because of nervousness

Soo—the cause was on his left Nangnang had told them that the city was surrounded by two forces The place where the rescue tea was dark, but their path was illuht The area on their left, in contrast, was pitch black as if it had been sed by darkness They couldn’t see anything beyond 100had told them to stay away from the area as h-ranking demon from the top 66 near them Otherwise, it didn’t make sense that the De an area in their sphere of influence Of course, Chi-Woo had beaten a high-ranking devil before, but in reality, that had been purely Philip’s skills, and he didn’t think he could achieve the sa now They had been in a different world back then, and now they were on Liber Since the Dehout Liber and conquered a great mass of land, they would be able to exert 100 percent of their true power here Thus, it would be the greatest folly to think he could beat demons easily like before

‘It would be best if I don’t run into…’ Chi-Woo stopped walking His synesthesia alerted him to a new presence As soon as he turned his head, he sawhill

Swish!+ The night wind swept up to them out of the blue At the same time, a torch dropped and rolled down Ru A everyone to stay still and sending a signal, he crawled up the hill alone

Ru Amuh checked the situation in a hurry and was relieved He saw groups of two patrolling the area, but they hadn’t been caught yet Of course, he couldn’t be sure, so he went further up ahead and peeked out his head The sight in front of hiing all day—there were trenches and bunkers everywhere, and lue holes in the bunkers

Ru Aht There was a large barrier built around the city; it was not as dense as a spider web, but it was still solid and thick It would be absurd to even think about infiltrating any further If they passed this point, they would definitely be caught no matter how hard they tried to conceal their presence Even though they weren’t even halfway through the gate yet, there didn’t seem to be a way forward Ru Amuh stared intently at the front line and ca out the infore to those below, he began nang’s warning and move into the area shrouded in darkness on his left, but he thought it would be necessary to walk the tightrope along its border to get to a location where he could make it into the city with a leap Ru A any closer to the darkness, lifted his hand He was signaling everyone to here they were

And like this, he reached their first destination; if he went a little further, he would be inside the Demon Empire’s camp And if he turned to the hill below hienous Monsters Alliance that he just checked out Now, the rest of the heroes must have checked the information sent by Ru Amuh, and he had to wait for them to find the best position to take

Since this whole operation depended on speed, it wouldn’t take long for them to situate themselves However, this also ht into the city soon That hy everyone was quiet Their expressions varied, but they all had theirthe short time they had and called out to him in a barely audible voice, “Teacher… Thank you” The silanced at Ru Aht smile, he whispered, “I trust your decision” Ru Amuh smiled in reply There was no need for ot a notification then It was athe to startin soon, so they should prepare theain All rab the handle of his sword, as if they were getting ready to race

At the same time, one hero looked down from a hill and said with a dis to jump in from there It’s crazy no matter how many times I think about it”

Another person shook their head and inal power”

If the heroes were at their peak strength, breaking through the barrier below them would be as easy as a short warm-up before their real battle They would have even h first However, the reality was cruel It was no wonder that they would feel despondent and have low self-esteeered their conflicts

“Will this even work…”

As the heroes hesitated to move, one hero asked, “Didn’t they say they were ready?”

“Uh? Ah, yeah They did”

“Then why are we just standing still instead of getting started?”

“Should we just go—?”

At thatothers any more time to speak The hero widened their eyes mid-sentence The yeti was enor when he rose to his full height

“Hey, hey! Stay down for now! Sit!”

Snowy Mountain ignored the rock—no, to others, it was basically a boulder Then, without anyone being able to stop hith towards the bunker in the frontline trench

Swoosh—! Baht sky with the an
