Until that evening, the situation of monsters appearing and being defeated repeated. Fortunately, they weren’t particularly strong.

“Where on earth are they coming from?” Haizen looked around and said.

No matter how you looked at it, it was an ordinary place, not much different from other areas in Helane, except for the suddenly appearing monsters.

“That’s what I’m saying. I don’t see anything like the monster habitats that used to be in Kuran’s border area. They used to be visible, but now they suddenly emerge from the ground.”

Raphael replied, rubbing his eyes as if tired.

“Should I take over the driving? Do you want a break?”

At Haizen’s words, Kite spoke quietly from behind.

“I’ll do it. Neither of you has had a decent rest. Take a short nap.”

“Really?”

Normally, he might have agreed, but to deal with the monsters appearing intermittently, they needed to take breaks.

Raphael accepted Kite’s suggestion and set up the car.

Even in that situation, Haizen, who was looking around, grabbed Raphael’s arm as he was about to get off.

“Wait. Something is coming from the front.”

Tension swept through the car in an instant.

Even Ruelala, who had dozed off for a while, woke up at Haizen’s words.

“Riding a horse? Is it a knight-type monster?”

Raphael said, squinting his eyes and looking ahead.

Despite it being night, the surroundings were quite bright thanks to the bright moonlight. However, it was difficult to determine accurately due to the distance.
Kite confirmed that Ruelala had opened her eyes, and carefully opened the car door to avoid waking the children, saying, “Let’s get out for now. Whether it’s an enemy or not, we shouldn’t let them come this way.” As the people in the van got off, Tien and Mitchell, who were in the rear carriage, also got off following suit. They quickly prepared for battle and began walking forward. “Oh? Senhwe?” Hagen, who recognized the approaching figure, shouted in surprise. Since they hadn’t been in contact with Senhwe, they hadn’t said they were coming, and his unexpected visit was surprising. “How did you know?” Raphael asked, and Senhwe, getting off his horse, replied with a question. “What are you talking about? How could I know that you guys were coming?” “You didn’t know? But why did you come all the way here? You’re not thinking of going back to Wasseng, are you?” Senhwe, as if suspecting a hoax, hit Raphael’s shoulder with his staff and said, “I had thought about going back within a few months, but it wasn’t today.” “So, did you come out for a walk? All the way here?” Watching Hagen with a suspicious expression, Senhwe raised his head as if to express doubt. “I occasionally go around exploring here and there, but that wasn’t the case today.” Senhwe looked around with a dark expression as he spoke.
“I had thought about going back within a few months, but it wasn’t today.”

“So, did you come out for a walk? All the way here?”

Looking at Hagen with a suspicious expression, Senhwe raised his head as if expressing doubt.

“I occasionally go around exploring here and there, but that wasn’t the case today.”

Senhwe, with a dark expression, looked around and spoke.

“It seems like something unusual is happening, so I came out to check. Since this afternoon, the air has become heavy and sluggish. Moreover, the path to the western dragon’s nest has opened.”

Hearing Senhwe’s words, Kite stepped forward.

“The path to the dragon’s nest has opened? We encountered monsters as soon as we entered here, could it be related to that? We tried to go back, but the way out was blocked.”

Senhwe’s expression hardened.

“Monsters appeared? And you can’t leave?”

“Yes. After the disappearance of the vortex shape, we couldn’t get out.”

In response to Ruelala’s answer, Senhwe said with a serious expression.

“For now, we need to go to my hideout. Hurry and get on the carriage. Joseph, can you tie the horse I rode to your carriage? I need to move with you.”

At Senhwe’s urging, everyone moved quickly.

To hear what the situation was while on the move, Tien and Mitchell also moved to the van, and instead, Yumo, Shuna, and Emma decided to ride in the rear carriage.
Senhwe, who got on the carriage, gently stroked the heads of the sleeping children and carefully examined them before speaking.

“I wondered why strange phenomena suddenly occurred, but it’s because of these children.”

In response to Senhwe’s words, Kite and Ruelala asked with surprised expressions.

“What do you mean?”

“Is it because of Chate and Clotilde?”

Senhwe, as if calming them down, spoke after comforting the two.

“The reason I came all the way here to train is because of the special qualities this place possesses.”

“What’s different?”

Ruelala asked with an anxious expression, but Senhwe calmly began to explain.

“The Mystic Land is a space where magic is confined. Do you know that it is connected to the Prasot Island in the east?”

Ruelala nodded as she looked at the map on the screen.
