Demon King
Chapter 64 Rookie Battlefields [2]
[When entering, you will be able to leave after twelve hours.]
[If you don't enter in three days, you will automatically be sent to the Rookie Battlefield.]
I looked towards Lee Chan-yu, surrounded by three hellhounds, and was currently smashing the ghost head with his paws. There are no more enemies around us.
“Did you level up? Congratuations. Level 100 was an intermediate level for some of the big guilds out there. ”
Who is the strongest?
“Who are you, a chairman? They don't tell people about their skills, so there's no real way to find out. However, in purely a wise degree, I would like to say it's about 200. ” My eyes feel like they're going to come out of my skull. ‘200?’ I have invested an entire week to go from just 99 to 100, fighting and devouring all kinds of monsters to do so. Lee Chan-yu could easily read my frustration.
“They've been that strong since Great Fusion. Their levels have not changed much since then. ”
“... I start from level 1...”
“I am 45 ..” He spoke by accident, throwing his face away. He had no intention of handling my case, there was no point in kicking me while I was down.
“They also have to pay the price.”
This is nothing new. From the time Great Fusion happened until now, even if you put everything into a book, it would be no more than maybe two books. Not a long time. But what have these people done? ‘Do they really pay the price, just one to be able to look down on me from such a high perch?’ I don't know. I can't judge that. ‘So don't. Refrain from making decisions for the time being. ‘ I just have to do what I can.
“Do you know what a Rookie Battlefield is?”
“Hm.. no.”
“Good.” No information related to the Battlefield was available in my search. The quest was about evolution, so I guess it might have nothing to do with this Rookie Battlefield. The dangers of Jinma Tower and Nak Park cannot be ignored, but at least they are controlled by so-called helpers. However, the Rookie Battlefield was different. I don't have any information about that, neither does Lee Chan-yu. All of them had strange and unusual feelings. I don't have time to wait for him to reach level 100.
Captain, is this a new place?
“I think I need to do a scout first. I'll go hunting alone for a while. ”
“Good. Careful, boss. ” He smiled and nodded at me, waving for the hellhound to spread.
“Alright, so I have one choice.” I went ahead and opened the door to a special shop.
“You're back, Destiny.” Rain greeted me with a comforting gaze as usual; however, the interior of the store was not the same. An empty glass stood in front of him, and his chair was pulled back slightly. There was someone else here recently.
“Is there another customer here?”
“Haha no. The only customer of this exclusive store is you, Destiny. One of my old acquaintances recently wanted to stop by for a drink. ” An acquaintance Rain. ‘Is that someone other than A and L?’ I wanted to know but decided that it was not very important. I went ahead and sat in a chair that was pulled back. Out of nowhere, echoes filled my body for a moment. I've been here.
“In the park Nak, there must be a soul there ..”
“That's the same for Fate, isn't it? Like you, he also has a decent body. ”
“I think there must be some special circumstances; that's why he's in that form. ”
“It was just to help your training.” Rain's explanation relieved me a little, although I kicked myself so much it occurred to me why I was relieved. “I keep getting sidetracked.” I don't need to be too shaken.
“It's sad.”
“Iya?”
“He used to, L.” Said Rain, taking the empty cup and starting to clean it.
“I have no doubt in my mind because I believe that Fate will come to see me several times a day.”
“You need 100 gold to enter Nak Park. I couldn't spend that much money just to meet him, and the time was short. ” My voice is firm and loud, but Rain just smiled cheerfully.
“Maybe because he wasn't waiting for you here.”
“She left this for me?”
“Funny, right?” I have to admit that. A bitter smile was seen on my lips as his face appeared in his mind. L. A woman so beautiful is painful and, for some reason, likes me. Feels wrong. I can't help but question if he's right to like me. But that feeling, like he understands me, scares me sometimes, but it also feels good. I tried to let go of this thought and look back at Rain.
“Rain, I want to ask you something.”
“Is this about L?”
“I will meet him and talk to him directly. What I want to ask you is the Rookie Battlefield. ”
“... Hmm...” Rain's expression instantly hardened as he put down his glass. “Alright, so you have evolved into a fairy.”
“Crimson Elf is more specific. Does this Battlefield have anything to do with elves? ”
“... I don't think this will happen. Is it my fault for meddling in your training? ” He took those words out with ****** quietly, took a moment to think.
“Rookie is a simple title. A long time ago, some beings among all beings above and below ground called themselves so because they most closely resembled God.
They're the elves?
“Ya, or sometimes called Elyos. After all, it was a title of pride and arrogance. ”
Elys. When I heard the name, it somehow felt right. In Earth's past, some claimed to be partners of demons. It looks similar. ‘Lalu ... Rain ..?’ I had thought about it before, but at that moment, I felt he must be a demon.
“They are a tribe that rejects all but themselves. They bear a resemblance to humans, of course, divided among themselves, like humans. Some of them even walked with demons. ”
“So, Crimson Elf is similar to the devil?”
“You're right. In a narrow sense, demons refer to several races that evolved and evolved over tens of thousands of years in the dark underground. Crimson Elves were listed among those numbers. However, they had fought many battles with other elves in the past, eventually perishing without a single descendant. To the elves, Crimson Elves were a stain that had to be removed. ”
“Then, how about the Rookie Battlefield?”
So, that's the problem. With a bitter smile, he poured her a glass of pink liquor. It was fragrant, and sweet and hot. It reminds me so much of L. As I emptied the glass, Rain kept looking at me.
“Destiny. Is the fusion of Hater and Earth a disaster just for Earthlings? ”
“...” My head is filled with white. ‘I never thought about it.. honestly.’.
“For now, let's leave aside why or how Great Fusion happened. Instead, let's focus on the disaster it caused. In particular, the elves were connected to Earth. ”
Why just elves?
“Because they were the only ones who knew in advance that Great Fusion would happen.” Rain's tone of voice seemed calm on the surface, but I knew anger was boiling within him. I raised my head to face him.
“Rain..”.
“I have no partner, and after Great Fusion, I can defend myself. The same goes for A and L. ”
“How is that possible?”
“We all must exist as individuals.” He said of this anger and conviction as he explained their partnership with Earth.
“You may think you understand your partner, but not.”
“... If I am wrong, it is good.”
“I'll explain later. The elves knew when and how Great Fusion would happen. It begins with Earth, and they know that their souls will be moved, and only their bodies will be left. But then they find out that they will remain with their partner on Earth. ” Since the beginning, the connection to the partner is the key to transferring Haterling's body to Earthling. Personally, my partner is only a farmer, so I don't see much use, but there are people who can use that connection to become stronger. They are the omens of Great Fusion.
“So they came to a way to stop this from happening, Rookie.” Battlefield
“Please explain to me.”
“This is a magical space created by the elves both in Hater and on Earth.” The elves had used their magic to draw their people into this space. It was a small world in itself. Then Great Fusion happened. Naturally, the elven's soul had to be destroyed, and their bodies fused with their Earthling pair. But this space was created so that those in it would not lose their soul or body. Therefore, the souls of the elves were not separated from them. No one other than the elves could enter the Rookie Battlefield. It was a name that indicated the elves' desire to deny their destiny.
When the body of the elves could no longer return to Earth, the opposite happened. The bodies of their partners on Earth are destroyed, and their souls go to the Rookie Battlefield. But they cannot enter, because only those who have a body and soul can.
“What happened to their souls?”
“Yeah, fun fact ..” Rain laughs as if trying to find humor in the situation. “When the elves managed to protect themselves, there was one thing they did not expect. The Earthlings souls that were denied entry finally changed and went inside. Everything was. ”
“Then...?”
“I don't know. I couldn't see what was happening there, but since then, several elves went one by one. It must be a real battlefield there. ” Those who have completely destroyed their partner's soul and come to Earth with limited freedom are called ‘Pribumi’.
“I can imagine why you could enter that place. They caught a wide variety of elves, and there was no way the Crimson Elves they had destroyed in the past could survive. ” Rain also assumed that it was possible to enter at the level of 100, it was the minimum level that newcomers needed to enter. It was fortunate that I was not directly drawn there when I became a Crimson Elf.
“It's a dangerous place, but I don't know if you can avoid it.”
“I can't.” Is this a special evolutionary price? To gain strength? A little laugh made me realize. I'm not scared. If it's just death, then I'm used to the thing that depends on me. It just changed shape a little bit.
“Destiny, they are enemies of Fallen, humans, Crimson Elves, demons. Throw away all the thoughts you have about fighting it all; it's too dangerous. That place is not your battlefield. ”
“What do you mean?”
“You must face strong individuals. But fortunately, this store has merchandise that might serve you! ” Rain laughed happily when I checked the money I had in my inventory: 32,691 gold, 94 silver, and 17 bronze.
“I'll take it all.”
“Thank you for your support!” I prepared the best I could. With only 178 gold, 27 silver, and 38 bronze, I set out to face the Rookie Battlefield.
