“People around are looking at us with surprised eyes. Well, it’s understandable since a huge carriage suddenly appeared; it might be something to faint over.”

Listening to Hazen’s observation of the surroundings, Ruela also nervously observed the people.

People were looking at the carriage that the group was riding with wide-eyed amazement.

“Let’s quickly leave this place. If we don’t get recognized as ourselves, we should be able to endure without suspicion for a while.”

At Kite’s command, Tien and Hazen quickly lowered the curtain of the window.

Though unavoidable for Mitchell and Rafael sitting in front, the goal was not to reveal the composition and number of the party.
“We can’t rely on luck forever, so we should level up as quickly as possible.”

“Starting from tomorrow, teleporting directly from home would be better, right? We’ve realized that it’s more challenging to shake off Gart’s subordinates.”

Ruela agreed with Hazen’s opinion.

“Yes, that sounds better.”

The carriage, now leaving the village, began to run toward the outskirts, where demonic creatures resided.

“Let’s try not to kill low-level demons and just pass through. If we kill a certain number of demons, it seems that Kurann Duke’s overseers will appear, so we need to delay that time as much as possible.”

Hazen frowned at Kite’s words.

“Aren’t low-level demons harder not to kill? You alone can just swipe them away with your shield.”

“For now, let’s focus on protecting Ruela. It’s okay for others to take a beating a bit.”

Kite looked at the map and spoke.

“I’ll cast a skill to immobilize them. It’s impossible to use skills on every demon, but if we can slow down the movement of the demons around Ruela, it will be much better.”

After finishing speaking, Tien opened the game screen, reorganized the skill slots, and Kite, after checking the potions in the bag, began explaining the path they would take on the map.

“Now, let me summarize again. Avoid killing low-level demons as much as possible. If you encounter a gatekeeper with two heads, quickly defeat it and enter. Probably, when the gatekeeper dies, Duke Kurann will sense something strange and send overseers, so we need to quickly defeat the demon giving the key and teleport.”

“If we can’t defeat the named demon and teleport, do we have to defeat the gatekeeper again?”

Raphael asked, and Ruela nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. We have to start over.”

In the game, even for high-level bosses, they respawn once a week. This is because users engage in repeated raids until other updates or higher bosses are released, alleviating the boredom.

However, it might be different in reality. One thing for sure is that the minions accompanying the high-level named demon continue to respawn as long as the master is alive.

“Where should we teleport to? It might be good to show the scene of us coming out of the carriage and entering.”

Ruela asked, and Raphael turned to the carriage window.

“Since we disappeared from the capital, it’s better to go to a nearby village. A place with no people…”

“Whether there are many or few, it seems unavoidable to catch people’s attention, right?”

Mitchell suggested, and Kite also made a proposal.

“Let’s go to the capital square.”

“Isn’t that too risky? Even if it’s good to have many people, the capital square seems excessive.”

Hazen looked concerned, but Kite spoke firmly.

“It’s challenging not to stand out. In that case, it’s better to prioritize efficiency.”
Mitchell also agreed with Kite’s words.

“Yeah, Kite is right. Well, there will be rumors about a suddenly appearing carriage. However, we experienced that it’s unavoidable today. We can’t ride the carriage with Gart Viscount’s carriage to the demonic habitat.”

“As long as the rumor doesn’t reveal our identity.”

Raphael sighed at Ruela’s opinion.

“We have to act discreetly. Alright, let’s save time and focus on leveling up.”

Kite continued Mitchell’s words.

“If we quickly eliminate the demons, we might be able to choose one of the invitations we received earlier and attend an event tonight.”

“A party? That’s a great idea. If we casually show up as a party, no one will think that we’re killing demons.”

“I hope so. Well then, let’s get ready and disembark.”

Kite and his companions, familiarly, ate buff food and drank, then took out their weapons.

After finishing their preparations and getting off the carriage, Ruela stored the carriage and its horse in her bag.

“It’s really refreshing and comfortable since it’s not a real carriage and horse. I won’t worry at all about riding the teleport later.”

“Even if we abandon the carriage, we can somehow retrieve it, so I’m relieved about that too.”

Tien also admired the place where the carriage was.

Ruela shrugged her shoulders with a proud face.

This is why a high level is good. As the stats increase and more skills are learned, the gameplay becomes more comfortable.

After finishing their preparations, Kite stood at the front and gave instructions.

“Form a wall with Ruela in the middle and move forward. Hazen, place your summoned creature on my right, and Mitchell, stand on my left. Raphael and Tien, protect us from the demons coming from the back. Now, let’s go.”

With the sound of a rallying cry, they all started moving forward.
