Whether outside or inside the walls, wherever you go, it’s dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, red alerts flashing everywhere.Thump!What exactly is about to explode? If this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What on earth am I supposed to do? A surge of frustration welled up inside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I found myself quietly accepting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s just how my fate is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible to avoid this way. I had planned to wait outside the walls, and if the tier lord appeared before then, cross into the city; if not, just hold out outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this storm was not something you could avoid like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A-ah...! Ah...!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Sven Parav begin to convulse beyond mere trembling, I silently steeled my resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yandel...! Now’s not the time for that! Get out here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Storm, lightning, flood, or any other unimaginable hell...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something’s approaching from outside... Parav! Are y-you alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let it come if it wants.Clench.I will never give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain! Orders...!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaislan rushed to me inside the barracks, demanding instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take care of Sven Parav. He doesn’t seem able to move on his own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping outside, I saw the members already ready and waiting to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Emily, what have you found so far?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A massive mana reaction is detected beyond. The mana wavelength matches monsters’, but they aren’t sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The wavelength is too huge to be called a monster’s. Even a first-grade monster wouldn’t have one this strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s approaching rapidly, so we must decide quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right... that’s what it means...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at the members waiting for my decision. I always feel this moment most burdensome and uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the right choice and what’s the wrong one. Without any certainty.Thump!Yet I have to decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the fate of those who follow me depends on that decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...We move into the cave first. Then activate the portal so we can move to the city anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as I made the decision, all clan members quickly formed a moving formation and dashed into the cave.Tat-tat-tat!The closing distance matched our fast speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the restored Return Magic Circle appeared, and GM quickly activated it on my command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Three minutes.’ Because preparations were done in advance, opening the portal took around three minutes—a short time. But...Whooooosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do these three minutes feel so long?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s moving faster! Faster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilis Marone, who set up mana detection radars around the camp, shouted urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surviving countless hardships, these elite explorers have instincts sharpened to the extreme and maintain battle-ready expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many times did an eternity of a second repeat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All done...!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, as the magic circle emitted light, a portal of strong radiance opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s here...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone in the cave murmured. After that, no more words. Everyone held their breath and stared ahead, listening carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrr-ck, scrr-ck.Something scraping the floor.Splash, splash...Sloppy footsteps.ScreeeeeeeeeechThe wind sounded strangely like a scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately giving a short order, Bersil beside me activated a light orb spell and illuminated the dark passage. Thanks to this, we learned a few things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrr-ck, scrr-ck.The sound came from shackles on the feet.Splash, splash...Not sloppy footsteps, but from countless blinking eyeballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ScreeeechEvery step the creature took was surrounded by souls writhing in pain. Also...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Yandel, don’t fight that guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Amelia’s advice—who has [Danger Sense] to gauge monster threat levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A-ah...! Aah...! Aaargh...!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Sven Parav, white-faced and helpless, instinctively knew this was ‘that monster.’ And...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump-thump-thump-thump!It’s dangerous. More than any enemy we’ve fought so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, thanks to that, I was able to throw away any lingering hesitation until the end. I briefly considered not returning to the city and fighting that thing instead—but I gave up cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, take the portal and return to the city!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At my shout, GM who was closest to the portal entered first, followed quickly by others one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re coming, right...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misha looked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, I want to go with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erwen stubbornly insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bjorn...! Can’t we just fight? If we catch it, it might give us something precious...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ainar, who hadn’t grasped the situation yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you all doing? Get in the portal already!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shouted in frustration. Erwen and Ainar flinched and hurried to the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, as if things couldn’t get worse...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kyaaaaaaak—!!!]Did my shout provoke ‘that guy’? The creature suddenly started running at full speed from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to add insult to injury...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aah...! I-I don’t want to! I don’t! I ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) said nooo...!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sven Parav started acting hysterically like having a panic attack in front of the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I go there, I’ll die! I’m not going!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you saying? You want to stay here alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aah...! Aah! Aaargh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! What kind of strength is this...!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Kaislan seemed to have trouble forcibly leading the paladin Sven Parav out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, Kaislan! You go first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But...!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take care of that guy, don’t worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Kaislan left first, and I took charge of Sven Parav. Then I quickly checked behind...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kyaaaaaaak—!!!]Not very fast after all. Except for me and him, everyone else had gone through the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I grabbed Sven’s chin, forced him to look me in the eyes, and...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop whining. I don’t want to go any more than you do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you heard me, get in quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, annoying a barbarian at a critical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aah! Aaargh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, I lifted Sven Parav and threw him into the portal. ‘So now it’s just me left.’ Once I go through the portal, it’s over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, at the last moment, I didn’t hesitate. Just...Tat!Like a jump, I threw myself into the portal and thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I recalled what the earth witch said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You’ll experience harder and sadder things there.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Still want to go back?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My answer to that question remains the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Yes.’ There’s nothing unfamiliar anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The character moves to Lafdonia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go.
