Everyone was shocked to hear Jaehwanâs declaration, but he wasnât one to bluff.
âIs that possible?â
The officers knew how powerful the Great Generals were. They were beings that couldnât be fought against even with the combined power of all the Awakeners gathered. And there were three of them.
âAre you serious?â
âIâm always serious.â
âYou will wipe out the Palace of Reincarnation?â
âYeah.â
Everyone who gathered began to laugh hollowly. They had been discussing, thinking of how to deal with this crisis for days.
âWhen?â
âNow.â
The Master was that kind of a man, one who was calm against the impossible. The people who were gripped with despair until just now finally had hope again. [Nightmare] Sirwen, who was watching this from the back, became curious.
âHeâs really interesting.â
Sirwen had seen many âheroesâ who faced the ârealityâ. Many times, they were a symbol of hope, but they eventually failed against reality. Sirwen knew. This man, even if he acted like this now, he would soon be defeated by the reality. Even now, someone should be standing up to objectâŚ
âThen, we should go now! Take me with you!â
What?
âTake me!â
Huh?

âWe shall kill them all, right now!â
People were rising up as the atmosphere in the meeting room grew frantic. It seemed like the entire world was standing up. Sirwen was astonished.
âTheyâre all out of their minds!â
She heard something weird was going on in . The rumor that people began shouting words such as freedom, life, or liberation.
âWhy now? Because of this one man?â
She couldnât understand. Maybe she would never understand as she was a [Nightmare] who had lived, and would live, for a long, long time.
ââŚUgh, these humans. Well, I donât care.â
Sirwenâs only purpose was to find out the secret of the 8th gate from Jaehwan. She was curious as to what her godfather had left in that place. But it was also Jaehwan who quieted down the meeting room.
âI thank you all for your enthusiasm, but only four will go, including me.â
Everyone became silent.
âMe, Chunghuh, and Cayman will be going.â
Cayman was overjoyed. âItâs an honor, Master!â
Chunghuh ranted in annoyance, but he didnât seem to dislike it all that much.
âHah, I guess you canât do anything without me.â
The people who werenât called out were unsatisfied. Some shouted, âThis is not possible!â
âJust four cannot possiblyâŚ!â
As everyone became noisy, Jaehwan quickly spoke.

âFour is enough. Besides, all of you have other duties.â
Other duties?
âI think you all are mistaken. Taking out the Palace of Reincarnation isnât the end of everything,â Jaehwan continued. People quieted down and began to focus.
âWhat do you think will happen if we destroy the Palace? will be united under Gorgon. But what will happen then?â
What would happen next? Everyone became confused. They had not thought about that. It was Aisa Lindcroft who answered the question.
âThere will be forces that will oppose Gorgonâs rule.â
âRight.â
Aisa felt goosebumps. Jaehwan was confident in uniting .
âHeâs already thinking about what will happen after the Palace of ReincarnationâŚ!â
Jaehwan was confident in wiping out the Palace. Aisa was shocked. It was her first time seeing Jaehwan face-to-face. Cayman had talked highly of him multiple times, but Jaehwan was much more than that. She couldnât even read his future with her skill. Where would he eventually end up in the end?
Jaehwan said, âGorgon will have to face many militia groups after that.â
ââŚYou are saying that we have to prepare our forces to handle that so the Depth Expedition Team can embark on their journey.â
âRight. Youâre smart.â
Smart? No one had spoken in such a way during the past 900 years to Aisa. But Aisa had unknowingly blushed at such rude words. Yong then raised his hand to ask, âMaster, I donât understand! Do you propose that we prepare to fight those future militias and not fight the Palace which is right in front of us?â
âIâm not only talking about the militias. Do you think our war against the Lords will be over if we destroy the Palace?â
Yong frowned. âBut, if we destroy the [Narrow Door], they canât come intoâŚâ
â[Narrow Door] is just an object that allows you to enter without being dead. You certainly know that it is not the true way of coming into .â
Yong was shocked. Jaehwan was right. was not a place that one who enter using the [Narrow Door].
âBut that⌠thereâs no chance that they wouldâŚâ
âWe have to prepare for everything.â
There was a low possibility, but there was still a chance that the forces of the 12 Lords would kill themselves to invade .
ââŚIf that is your wish, I understand.â
Yong agreed as Aisa asked, âMaster of Gorgon, you forgot to mention one more thing.â
âWhat is it?â
âYou said you are taking four, but you only called out three names. Who is the last one?â
Everyone became silent. They were thinking that they still had a chance to be called. Aisa also seemed to be eager for that chance. However, it was someone they had not thought about.
âThe last one is her.â
The woman who was watching from the outside opened her eyes in shock.
âWhat? ME?!â
It was Sirwen Armelt.
In a room with a white floor, pink-colored walls, and various ornaments, Sirwen stood in the center while accessing a control panel in front of her.
âHow did I get sucked into doing thisâŚ?!â
She thought of what happened a while ago.
âW-what? Iâm not going there!â
Loading Ad...
She thought something was wrong. She just had betrayed the Lord of Darkness, yet Jaehwan wanted her to go and attack the Palace?
âDonât you want to know what was inside the 8th gate?â
Sirwen turned pale.
âIâll tell you if you help me.â
It was an offer she could not refuse.
ââŚHow did he know that is what Iâm after?â
She couldnât even think because she was too shocked.
ââŚHow should I help you then?â
âTeleport us into the Palace.â
âTeleport? How?â
âUse your skill, Warp.â
It was the skill that only [Nightmares] could use. The people then realized why she had been chosen.
âThatâs not possible. You cannot warp to a place that far. And we have too many.â
Warp was a skill that allowed the user to teleport to a place where the user had been to before, but it had a limited range. Jaehwan shook his head.
