Chapter 106 Youre Not Alone This Time.

The Knight of the Flickering Flame walked through the center of Verkel.

The purple mist that enveloped her was still as venomous as ever, but she did not hesitate to take steps. 

She was a living flame that dominated the atmosphere of the entire area.

She walked and walked.

Scarlet found the darkness. 

It was a black mountain.

Hey.

She called out to something. 

It seemed like a very strange thing to do at a glance. 

It looked like she was talking to herself in front of a mountain.

But it was not.

Scarlet called its name.

Death Dragon.

A race that was unanimously regarded as the strongest since ancient times. 

Some revered them as gods, some feared them as demons. 

Transcendents.

Dead dragon. Death Dragon.

The identity of the black mountain was its huge body. 

Even though it was only a black skeleton, the size of each joint was enormous.

The beast that had the highest score in the Hunting competition.

The Death Dragon opened its mouth.

Another year has passed.

Its jaw creaked and spat out a purple breath, and the poison mist spread in all directions. 

It was so deadly that an ordinary human would have melted away.

But Scarlet nodded calmly.

A being that could neither live nor d*e. 

The Death Dragon resurrected every year, and it was the Knight of the Flickering Flame who cut off its lifeline every time the Hunting competition was held.

Yeah.

So you say.

The Death Dragon nodded at her words. 

Even with that small movement, the surrounding magic trembled.

The empty eye sockets of the skull slowly looked at Scarlet. 

It might be a bit of a stretch to call it looking, but the Death Dragon was clearly piercing through something of Scarlet.

Even though you are resurrected, you are still miserable

The Death Dragons voice echoed solemnly and reverently. 

The surrounding rocks vibrated and shook.

Dont worry too much. Ill k**l you again soon.

Scarlet leaned against a rock and said.

The Death Dragon spewed out a deadly poison mist just by breathing, so it was a beast that had to be killed for the safety of the Verkel residents.

The Death Dragons jaw creaked. 

It seemed to be laughing.

Knight of the Flickering Flame. Are you my companion again this time?

Yeah. No one else will come this year anyway.

Its more accurate to say that they cant come.

Scarlets shoulder armor, and the Death Dragon. 

The two elements that could get the highest score in the Hunting competition, but no one challenged them.

It was for a simple reason. It was almost impossible.

It was an unreasonable story to reach the center of the danger zone, where it was hard to stand, let alone fight.

But then.

Human. Scarlet Judith.

The words that the Death Dragon gave to Scarlet were.

Youre not alone this time.

It was quite unexpected.

Scarlet briefly retraced the meaning of those words.

And the next moment.

!

In the danger zone, she felt the presence of others.

A day had passed since Flan took the representatives to the danger zone. 

This incident attracted a lot of attention and was currently causing a lot of controversy.

Within the academy that hosted the Hunting competition, dozens of meetings were held every day on how to deal with this unprecedented event.

As a result, the academys work was temporarily paralyzed.

Shop, library, tower, knight department Everyones interest was in the Hunting competition, so it was a natural course of events.

We need to take action immediately. There must be representatives who were dragged into the danger zone against their will, right?

Even if they didnt want to, they cant be said to be unprepared. Didnt they sign a pledge before the Hunting competition started? And Flan didnt use any cheating either.

The 27 meeting rooms that the magic department and the knight department shared. 

The topic of all those spaces was currently one.

The controversy over Flan, who moved to the danger zone with others.

It was a very high-level magic. Even if the distance was short, it was amazing that he moved so many people.

Even those who thought Flan had done a reckless thing admitted the level of the magic circle.

But the way he used it was malicious. It means lets d*e together, right?

But what caused the controversy was the way he used it.

No matter which record of the Hunting competition you looked at, there was no student representative who had teleported many people at once and also set the destination to a dangerous area.

Stop babbling about the representatives going into the dangerous area You are much more malicious than you think. Do you see the representatives as children?

Because the reporters couldnt relay the situation in the dangerous area, people were busier than ever moving their mouths and spreading their imaginations.

As a result, the Merhen Academy became very crowded. 

It was because of the influx of people who wanted to hear something.

Did you hear anything?

Hmm, maybe two things?

It had been only a day since the incident happened, but there was a huge change in the academy.

Where did you get that information? Is it verified?

Its probably a scam But I bought it anyway.

How much do they know about whats happening in the dangerous area? 

Not the scores, but the detailed whereabouts of the representatives. 

How did the meeting end?

That information itself became a trend and a power, and there were even groups that predicted the situation as if they were writing novels, and there were also people who sold fake information.

Meanwhile.

The popular tea shop Roin of the magic department.

Another day has passed, but the magic departments score hasnt gone up. They could be dead by now.

The third princess Yushia was sipping her drink with a glowing straw, but her real interest was not in the drink, but in the stories around her.

They already sent some regular knights, you know. And its Flan, of all people, he must have a plan.

No matter where she opened her ears, it was all about the teleportation magic circle, the dangerous area, and Flan.

Isnt that too peaceful? Look at the score, the Celestial Blessings score is still going up like crazy.

What I mean is, it doesnt matter how much we talk here. Lets just wait a bit.

Its easy to say. The next event is hosted by the royal family If Flan is not there, theres no one to go.

The royal family. 

The authority that touches the sky.

After the Hunting competition, those noble bloodlines began to take a keen interest in the academys representatives.

The royal family Oh, is that true?

That the second princess showed interest in Flan?

Yeah. That.

I dont know about that. There are too many rumors.

The third princess is also interested.

She muttered as she was about to leave, but Yushia stopped when she saw a familiar face.

It was a male student.

Hey, Yushia. Can you come out for a minute and talk?

Yes. I can.

As soon as he left the building, the male student changed his expression and spoke in a very polite tone.

I succeeded in infiltrating the dangerous area.

He looked like an ordinary male student, but in fact he was also a member of the Wilderness organization.

He continued to report.

Currently, several members of the Wilderness are deployed, and Your Highness can watch the situation of the Hunting competition sufficiently.

Ah, thats good!

She smiled brightly and reacted, but Yushia was worried about Flan.

Flan I wonder if hes okay by now

Do you want to move to the place right now?

Of course.

Yes. Then let me guide you.

The staff member who had taken the lead suddenly turned to Yushia politely, as if he had remembered something.

By the way, Your Highness the Third Princess.

He asked with a serious expression.

Did you participate in the prediction this time as well?

Excuse me?

You achieved a result of 10,960 times, didnt you? I wonder if you found that interesting, because this time, even the Second Princess participated in the prediction.

The Second Princess. Aurora.

At that mention, a brief expression of discomfort crossed over Yushias face. But it was only a fleeting moment.

Um no. I didnt participate.

Oh, I see.

Lets go first.

Im sorry. I talked too much.

The two resumed walking.

A fluorescent paper in the princesss pocket glowed.

It was a cursed area.

A place where a sinister purple mist, twisted plants and trees, and the cries of monsters from somewhere were constantly heard.

I was in the dangerous area of Verkel.

Mana flow had its own rhythm. I counted it to calculate the time.

A day had already passed in the dangerous area.

Hmm.

The magic circle that contained so many people was not very smooth. 

Everyone who was swept away by the teleportation magic scattered in different directions.

But I made sure to bind the three representatives to the same place until the end. 

So our group only had me a little apart.

I was not worried.

Signal, survival, calmness. 

I taught them all three elements, so it was enough to join the others from now on.

The reason why I didnt move for a day was that I was engrossed in two maps.

The fantasy map, the ancient rune map.

I overlaid the two maps and observed them quietly.

Each map looked unrelated, but when combined, they became a new map.

The location it pointed to was also the dangerous area of Verkel.

There was something tremendous related to the ancient runes, undoubtedly sleeping in this dangerous area of Verkel.

I wonder what it is.

Finally, I took a step.
