The underworld of Arcana.

The Underworld was such a dangerous place that if the person you met in an alley yesterday turned up dead, you’d clap your hands in relief that you’d found them at all.

“You’re making fun of me, Pride.”

In such an Underworld, I, we, the Oak Auction ruled. Why was it possible to divide the underworld into two, maintaining balance with the Shadow Mercenary group that exerts influence beyond the underworld and into the lands beyond?

It was simple.

We were blessed by birth.

Because we were the strongest fighting race.

jijijig.

Ulrich clenched his fists, and his clothes began to tear. His uncontrollably bulging muscles gave him a rationale for not backing down in the face of the Shadow Mercenaries’ leader, Kichi.

“I’ve heard stories of you from my ancestors, Pride.”

Another Claudi, Pride.

Because of his bad relationship with him, he had met with Grandfell Claudi Arpheus Romeo. The Ancestor Ulrich, who, on his deathbed, looked as if he had realized everything, once said.

-”……Sometimes I feel grateful to him.”

But.

“You are wrong, Ulrich.”

Pride, he was still arrogant and self-indulgent.

‘I was just surprised for a moment.’

Although his mind was momentarily shaken by Pride’s sobbing, Ulrich did not forget his original purpose. All he wanted was to remove Wonhom from this place that would harm Mr. Grandfell. (tl/n: idk about 원홈을 Wonhom / One Home? )

‘Now that he’s in Claudi’s territory.’

Even if we can’t defeat him.

Let others be aware of his presence.

So that Grandfell can dispose of him.

I must risk my life.

Soon, Ulrich was about to charge at Pride.

“Have you not yet abandoned the savagery imprinted in your blood?”

The words are inaudible.

pabas

The moment I ignored him and charged.

Pride, he reached for the hem of his blood-soaked robe.

Are you trying to take out the magic tool hidden in your chest?

Ulrich remained on high alert until he was within inches.

It was a good thing.

“It’s unbecoming a hunter to chase prey that is already dead.”

His chest is wide open.

The invisible heart.

I came face to face with Pride’s scars that were hidden behind his robes.

Ulrich’s wisdom sized up the situation.

‘…No way.’

Is that tiny piece of brooch bringing the already dead Pride back to life? Pride caught Ulrich’s gaze and spoke.

“You’re wise for an orc. I guess that’s also thanks to my brother’s mercy.”

Ulrich stopped without realizing it.

Pride spoke to Ulrich.

That was sincere, without a single lie.

“Orcs who crave wisdom out of place.”

“…….”

“I will show you the truth.”

It was also the last option.

“The ugly truth of the great House Claudi.”

“What’s wrong, Taemin, is it still bothering you?”

Tug.

Nam Cheolmin put his hand on Taemin’s shoulder.

He barely touched Taemin’s shoulder because of his size.

Still, it conveyed his intentions.

“As expected, should I have just followed along?”

The orcs had appeared in Seoul out of nowhere.

A system message that didn’t lie proved their innocence, and they happened to have a connection to the Commander in Chief. Furthermore, their destination was Claudi territory.

Nam Cheolmin shrugged.

“From the analyst’s point of view, if the orcs have something else up their sleeves, it should be welcomed. Do you know what kind of place Claudi Territory is?”

“……I know.”

“A land where the word of the commander-in-chief is the law, and even if you have a crazy idea and put it into practice, if our commander-in-chief says one word, it’s over?”

I could understand it in my head.

But somehow, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

In the meantime, my feet were heading towards a place called Oak Auction.

Nam Cheolmin quickly summarized the information.

“Wow, it looks like the information in the quest wasn’t a bluff, right? They’ve opened another portal to reality with a magic tool! They’re already buying items at a huge price, and they’re going to hold an auction right away……!”

As if to prove his point.

The streets were already crowded with players.

Nam Taemin swallowed a sigh.

Yeah, what would happen if I felt uncomfortable?

“Okay, I need to come to my senses.”

That was the moment Nam Taemin said that.

“Kyaaaaah!!”

Screams erupted from the street.

Before they could realize what was happening.

Nam Taemin.

No, every player’s vision flickered.
