The time when Lee Si-woo was organizing a death squad.
The teachers and seniors of Awakening High School who led Awakening High School were wandering around the demon world.
“damn… … .”
“Is there any way to call for help outside?”
“The inside of the gate is connected to the demon world. “This is the first time I’ve heard of this phenomenon.”
The reason why guild members from the seven guilds that entered the gate were unable to clear the gate.
It was really simple.
“To defeat the demon lord. “We are not heroes.”
This is because the condition for clearing the gate was defeating the Demon King of the Demon World.
“It’s still too early to give up.”
Kang Joo-hyuk said while looking around.
“The outside knows we went in through the gate. If we don’t come back, we’ll definitely send in additional troops. “We just have to stay alive until then.”
“If we add more troops, will we be able to defeat the Demon King?”
Kang Joo-hyuk kept his mouth shut at Choi Ji-won’s words.
Maybe it’s an awakened person like the Seven Heroes.
It was nearly impossible for an ordinary awakened person to defeat the Demon King.
“That doesn’t mean you’ll give up.”
Choi Ji-won, a third year student at Gakseong High School, looked at Tae Ji-hyuk after hearing Tae Ji-hyuk’s words.
“Of course, I’m not saying I’m going to give up. “I was looking for another way.”
“Is there no way to get the message from the inside out?”
“Let’s deliver a message outside?”
“yes. In the end, just by informing us of the situation inside, we will deploy enough awakened people to clear the gate.”
Kang Joo-hyuk looked worried at Tae Ji-hyuk’s words.
At that time, Jeong Won-hoon, the principal’s son and a second-year student at Gakseong High School, raised his hand.
“Won Jeong-hoon?”
“Additional troops deployed. “The entrance to the gate will open then, right?”
“I guess so?”
“If I know where that place is, maybe I can do it with my hallucinations.”
Choi Min-ji, who was next to him, asked what illusionist Won Won-hoon said.
“really?”
“It might not work. But I think we should at least try this method to get the message out there.”
Choi Ji-won nodded at those words.
“good. Please brief me on how to do that. “For now, I have to do everything I can.”
At those words, the entire Awakening High School support team gathered here watched Won Won-hoon’s mouth.
“Okay, then I’ll tell you how.”
2.
The Beastmen and Elves formed an alliance based on the World Tree, and now all they had to do was make an agreement with the Dragons and find the key.
When I went to look for the beast people, I left a message for Yunmir.
After seeing that message, I planned to leave it up to Yunmir to decide whether he would come this way or not.
Of course, I was the person who knew Yunmir better than anyone else in this world, and I knew what choice Yunmir would make.
The protagonist is expected to make heroic choices.
“You really brought the beastmen and elves together in one place.”
As I expected, Mir Yoon accepted my request.
“You really came.”
“You told me to come, right?”
Oh, I called you. I really didn’t know it would come.
Although he knew the protagonist’s behavior pattern, it was Yunmir’s job to make the choice.
To be honest, I thought about 30% might not come.
“So, what are your future plans?”
Future plans.
Now that I have gathered all three races, I just need to find the key, but I don’t know where the key is.
My mother said she would contact me when she finds my father, but there is no news.
In other words, there is no plan.
However, I can’t just trust myself and say I don’t have a plan in front of the people gathered here.
I’ve been thinking about quiet demons lately.
Since they had destroyed Hwang Jae-hyuk and Rebellions at the same time, it was time for them to take some action, but they were worried because there was no action.
Since we decided to take a different route with the Seven Heroes, we had to move at this point so that we could respond.
I asked Yun Mir’s question to Yoo Ah-ram, who was standing next to me.
“Is there anything wrong with the final seven channel?”
“It’s not like there’s anything wrong… … . “Do you want me to quickly tell you who the seven people who will enter the final gate will be?”
As Yoo Ah-ram spoke, I looked at the people gathered here.
The representative of the elf race, High Elf Leaf, the representative of the beastman race, Ruid, and the last bloodline of the dragon race, Yunmir.
And the Seven Heroes. Choi Seol, the daughter of Gangrimsa Temple’s strongest. Ban Hye-jin, daughter of Geomshin Ban I-su.
Healer Yoo Da-hee’s disciple, Hwang Da-bin, Great Spiritist Claire’s disciple, Selina.
In addition, various people who became friends with me in the third episode were gathered here, including Kang Moo-seong’s daughter, Kang Ha-rin, summoner Ji Tae-hoon, angler Yoo Ah-ram, and information agent Jeong Joo-won.
Of these, I had to choose six people excluding myself.
‘It’s difficult… … .’
Contrary to what I initially thought, it became difficult to choose who would enter the final gate.
As different races that I had not seen in previous episodes appeared, I was faced with a choice.
In the end, it was right to choose an awakened person who would be helpful to me, but I couldn’t really choose as I wanted.
I had to choose an awakened person that people would accept.
‘At times like this, it would be great if something exploded… … .’
The moment I thought that, Yoo Ah-ram spoke again.
“uh? “There was a video posted on the Rebellions channel?”
“what?”
As for Rebellions, all seven branch heads were dealt with, starting with Choi Cheol-ho.
I shouldn’t have been able to upload any more videos, but the fact that the video was uploaded meant that someone else had uploaded it.
I quickly checked Yoo Ah-ram’s smartphone together.
3.
-Hello, this is Rebellions. Currently, our Rebellions are facing a major crisis. This is because the seven rebels who fought against the seven heroes ultimately died heroically. So now we would like to tell you about the predecessor of Rebellions.
The video showed only voices on a black screen.
“Who is it? Obviously, the seven branch leaders of Rebellions… … .”
-Are you curious? For what purpose did the Rebellions oppose the seven guilds that support the current world? Our whole body is… … .
Hahahaha!
Soon the video became brighter and scenes I had never seen before began to appear in the video.
“That… … .”
“how… … .”
In the video, a red moon and pitch black ground were visible.
Numerous monsters were swarming around, and the monsters were hunting humans.
-The predecessors of Rebellions were demons! The video you are watching right now is from the Demon World. Aren’t you curious about how you can see this place?
-Aaaah!!
At that time, human screams were heard in the video.
And then the screen started showing close-ups of screaming humans.
“Wait a minute, those people’s clothes… … .”
“That outfit… … .”
We looked at the video in horror as we saw the clothes the screaming people were wearing.
This is because the patterns of the seven guilds were engraved on the clothes worn by the people appearing in the video.
“No way, that place…” … .”
Jeong Ju-won muttered after seeing that sentence.
-Awakened people, didn’t you think something was strange? Why haven’t the colleagues who entered the gate come back yet?
I was able to understand the whole situation through the words of the man in the video.
“Nonsense… … .”
“Surely, the inside of the gate has turned into a demon world?!”
As the people watching the video murmured, I began to focus on the video.
This is because I realized that among the people who applied at the gate were teachers and seniors from Gakseong High School.
Fluffy.
At that time, the man tied something to a string and started shaking it against the screen.
-We would like to inform the next generation of Seven Heroes who are watching this video. Do you know what this is?
My eyes sparkled at those words.
I’ve seen that before. Although the color was different, that was definitely a ‘key’.
“It’s a key?!”
-If you want this, come in. Inside the gate. We invite you from the demon world.
Cheesy… … .
That’s how the video ended.
“Is it over?”
“What are you going to do?”
“Do we need to get that key to get into the final gate?”
Everyone was only looking at me.
Before I knew it, I had become the decision maker.
I closed my eyes for a moment and gathered my thoughts, then turned to everyone and said.
“Go inside the gate.”
“It’s a trap, the video may have been manipulated.”
At Jeong Ju-won’s advice, I looked back at Jeong Ju-won.
“You still have to go. “It is true that there are awakened people who enter the gate and cannot return.”
“Siwoo, you can’t believe it… … .”
“The key is a key, but we also have to save the awakened people who entered the gate.”
“You may not come back.”
After hearing Yunmir’s words, I looked at him and said.
I also had no intention of moving without thinking.
“At that time, please take care of me. friend.”
4.
“I don’t know what kind of guy he is, but he used his brain well.”
“I never thought the gate would lead to the demon world… … “For some reason, the kids said they couldn’t come back.”
“It worked out well… … . “What should we do?”
The Seven Heroes who checked the video posted by Rebellions were also having a discussion.
Choi Kang spoke in response to what others said.
“There’s a way to stop Lee Si-woo from having all the power, right?”
Yoon Ga-on helped Choi Kang’s words.
“You mean we should get the key first.”
“Then we should go too, right?”
“I think that would be good. “Anyone against it?”
No one raised their hand.
“It would be a good idea to research well before going. “If you think about the process before we challenged the final gate in the past, the place shown in the video is similar to the gate we cleared in the past.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Kang Mu-seong muttered in response to Kang Yeon-geum’s words.
Everyone gathered here recalled the time when the first apocalypse broke out and they moved towards the final gate.
The death squad they organized was sacrificed at the gates that were created in between.
“If that place called the Demon World is an intermediate gate to the final gate… The gate clearing difficulty will be close to extreme. “There are probably guys assigned to each gate you enter.”
Dahee Yoo clenched her fists at Claire’s explanation.
“Devil… … .”
The mid-boss, the Demon King, that you must pass through to defeat the Demon God.
Only by defeating them could they approach the demon god.
Choi Kang looked at his colleagues who were reminiscing about old memories for a moment and spoke to everyone.
“They say a crisis is an opportunity. Even though you can’t enter the final gate, it’s not another gate, right? “Our purpose has always been the same.”
Claire responded to Choi Kang’s words.
“A peaceful world where monsters have disappeared and people can live safely.”
After that, Yoon Ga-on spoke.
“To reign in that peaceful world.”
Choi Kang spoke again.
“We are seven holy heroes who sacrificed even their friends for the sake of our cause. “Don’t forget that.”
At those words, all seven people gathered here had solemn expressions.
“I will defeat the demon lord, find the key, and use it to negotiate with Lee Si-woo. He’ll have no choice but to listen to us, even if it’s just because of the key. “Then we can create the next generation’s heroes with our own hands.”
Madness began to flash in the strongest eyes.
