Chapter 20 Part 1: Cathedral
I’ll have to look around a bit.
If they knew that I had asked Beelzebub to come pick me up first, and that I had made a deal with him. There’s a huge possibility that they would think that I was a traitor that was in collusion with the monster side.
Wasn’t that the reason why dark mages are rejected?
A criminal who betrayed humanity by becoming an aide to a monster. I, who signed a contract with my familiar, may not look very different to one at this point. That’s because I’m still at the point where I don’t have enough understanding of the other world, Toluk.
“I don’t know. I went to bed as usual, but when I opened my eyes, I was in a different place.”
“What kind of place was it?”
“It looked like a mansion… It was western-style with lots of antique decorations. I woke up in bed, and when I opened my eyes… A man I had never seen before was drinking tea at a table by the window.”
The faces of Kim Ki-taek and Jeon Chung-Woon instantly hardened. I don’t know about Sun Ha-Rang because I can’t see her face, but the atmosphere inside the tent became tense in an instant.
“A man… Was it in a perfect human form?”
“Externally, Yes.” I said.
“Can the monster speak out our language?”
” Yes, it’s pretty skilled.”
The more I speak, paler their complexion becomes. They expected it to be difficult, but they didn’t know it would be this ‘Difficult‘. A perfect humanoid monster with the intelligence to be able to speak freely. It’s probably unprecedented.
The gate creates a certain balance between the two worlds, allowing the bastards from Toluk to cross over to this side through the gate. At that time, you will have to fight against monsters dubbed as ‘humanoid monsters’.
The gate was currently unstable, so their original bodies haven’t arrived, only their projections had move.
So it is much weaker than the original body.
After all, if the main body of Beelzebub, the king of the demons, the master of the Red Dark Clan, manifests here, the balance will collapse.
There would be a huge causality, that’s why projections are the limit right now.
Of course, even that was a daunting opponent for us.
“His name was ‘Beelzebub’.”
“It even has a name? It’s not a ‘clan name’, but an actual given name? It’s said that they are very intelligent, but monsters that are that advanced…”
“It was to the point where I didn’t even know the difference between him and a human.”
Except for being overly beautiful that is.
“Why did it send you back alive?”
While Kim Ki-taek was in a panic, Jeon Chung-Woon approached me, and asked.
“I don’t know, but I think he seemed to be observing me. He even knew where I was. He seemed to enjoy watching me.”
“That can’t be the case… Monsters are usually trained to hunt humans.”
Most monsters do. The monsters roaming out there, will go crazy and run, if they see a human. The previous Monster Bosses were only stronger and more destructive, but there wouldn’t be much difference.
Monsters that think similarly to humans, and can come up with their own personal names are still unfamiliar. This is before it was known, that many of them were residents of Toluk. Only after the concept was established will the name, ‘Named’ monster appear.
“But I came back alive.”

“That’s…”
Jeon Chung-Woon seemed to find it difficult to accept my argument, which undermined his absolute proposition.
He is as upright as bamboo. That might make it easier to break.
“Actually, I haven’t even talked to Beelzebub much. It was just Ten minutes at most? But three days have already passed here.”
“Was the time axis different?”
“Perhaps.”
A different time axis can also be a hint. You have to know where the Monster boss’ territory is, To be able to clear this gate.
They asked a few more questions, but there was not much meaningful information.
They pondered for a long time. They’re wondering if they can catch Beelzebub with their own power, but it’s probably impossible.
Going head-to-head with him in a fight is almost close to suicidal. At least the Hunters at this moment, are still very weak.
‘But I know. How to kill that son of a bitch.’
That’s because my master personally taught it to me.
It’s not all about saving Hyewon-Unnie anymore. The most important thing is to ‘survive out of this gate’. And to do that, I had to kill Beelzebub that bastard, in the end.
❖
Both before and after the discovery of Toluk’s existence, the gate was simply considered as a very mysterious place.
So instead of using this gate as a research subject, there were more people who worshiped it or viewed it as ominous.
In the end, cults that worship the ‘mystery‘ began to emerge.
The most representative example is the One-Eyed Fowl Cult.
If Dark mages are called ‘traitors to humanity’, the Toluk also have its traitors as well. In this case, should it be called an earth comrade? They were eccentric people who loved humans of the Earth, more than their own kind.
They were commonly known as ‘The Traitor from the Other World’.
(T/N: Hahaha It sounded like the title of an upcoming anime.)
There was one notable one, His real name was Theodore or something, but I don’t remember him very well. I just knew that we called him ‘Theo’ for short. Anyway, the way this ‘Theo’ was found was very interesting. This Theo took pity on the humans dying inside the gate, that he even hid several devices.
Of course, they’re hidden from prying eyes, so they can’t be found using the normal way, but if you fulfill certain conditions, you’ll be rewarded with items or hints that will greatly help you in your quest.
「Theo’s Arrangement 」 was also hidden within this gate.
I didn’t manage to get that item but It was Master and his colleagues who were able to get it, but I knew how they did it.
Should it be called a ‘gate’ within the gate? They said it was supposed to a be some kind of a ‘mini-game’ concept. I heard that it was a stage type gate, not a field type gate as well, so they had a hard time trying to move in.
Unlike field type gates, stage types does not have any boss monsters, but instead, they needed to do the ‘quest’ in order to complete it. Once you’ve accomplished that goal, it’s either it’s cleared, otherwise it was a failure. These stages are also divided into various types such as, time-limited type, detailed-purpose type, and survival type, etc., but that’s for the gate researchers to figure out. As Hunters, they only needed to clear it.
If I remember correctly, the location of「Theo’s Arrangement 」 inside this gate was…
“I think I have a hint of where I went.”
Of course that’s a lie.
“What is it?”
