The Heard Fortress Ruin town grew by the day &xA0;A castle wall grew taller each day as if it was a bas and brick were erected beyond the castle walls

They sprung up everywhere

A was the one built out of bricks &xA0;The construction of the building was almost completed &xA0;It was the Heard Fortress Ruin branch of the Subjugation Association &xA0;It was 5 stories high, and &xA0;it was also the largest building in terms of width

Moreover, it had the

&x201C;Move it! &xA0;Letto hunt withfor a Striker!&x201D;

&x201C;Hey! &xA0;Over here! &xA0;Look here! &xA0;Over here!&x201D;

This was the only way station in the Black Continent, so of course, it had a lot of people &xA0;Moreover, when people gathered, a marketplace always popped up &xA0;

The Users here had all gone through their 2nd Advance gazes to themselves if it was anywhere else, but here &xA0;It didn't work like that over here &xA0;There were too reat items to be boastful

Moreover, a real monster had appeared inside the town

&x2018;It's the Hahoe Mask&x2019;

&x2018;The Hahoe Mask really ca he is here for a Quest &xA0;I heard he crossed the Urugal ain&x2019;

&x2018;If he suffered a Game Over, he would have been summoned here &xA0;There's no other reason why he would have crossed the Urugal e&x2019;

&x2018;It was the sadom episode &xA0;We have to follow after the Hahoe Mask&x2019;

Hahoe Mask

The fact that he had arrived at the Heard Fortress Ruin toasn't just spread to the Users &xA0;It was spread so far that people, who didn't play Warlord, are of this fact

Moreover, the fact that the Hahoe Mask sought out the branch of the Subjugation Association meant that the he had business here

The Hahoe Mask wasn't just a skilled User &xA0;He was like a ation Association here one could receive a Quest &xA0;His appearance at this location meant that the Hahoe Mask was on a Quest &xA0;Of course, there was no way it was a normal Quest &xA0;When the Hahoe Mask entered the branch office of the Subjugation Association, he didn't stay on the first floor where the noruided the Hahoe Mask upstairs, and the rumor of this incident started to spread &xA0;The expressions on the Users near the Subjugation Association changed

NPC Diung was a youngyet he had scars &xA0;These two eleo hand in hand with each other &xA0;

The NPC took out a pouch s

&x201C;This is the Ite handed over the pouch to the User wearing the Hahoe Mask

Hyrkan immediately opened the pouch, and he took out the item

&x2018;As expected, it is a Conch&x2019;

The pouch held a Conch, which gave off a yellow gleam &xA0;It was metallic, and it was similar in size to the Wooden Conch he had found in the Ruins &xA0;Its shape was also siure out how to operate the Golden Conch

Hyrkan immediately pressed the Golden Conch to his ears

Instead of the relaxing sounds of waves, a voice could be heard

- My narave of some unknown person, and I was able to witness the Power of Corruption here &xA0;This is why I' behind a record

The voice sounded dry &xA0;It was hard to deter to its voice, and there were static included with the e &xA0;If he didn't concentrate, he wouldn't be able to differentiate between the voice and the background static

At the sae was short

Hyrkan waited to hear e

&x2018;This game is really too much&x2019;

Basically, that was all the inforet

It had introduced itself as Bokan &xA0;It had revealed where it was at by saying it was at a grave &xA0;Then it spoke about the result of its action byof the Power of Corruption

&x2018;I have to find the location using just this information?&x2019;

Hyrkan would have to find the trace of Bokan using this clue &xA0;When he arrived at a predeterive him a new clue &xA0;This was the ressed in a Quest within the Ruined Kingdoy &xA0;Couldn't they have been a little bitout infor of discontent, but he didn't let it progress any further &xA0;Nothing would change if he dwelled on his frustration &xA0;Hyrkan ell aware of this fact

&x201C;So where did you find it?"

Anyways, the starting point would always be where the Item was found &xA0;He just had to find the next path from there

&x201C;I found it at the Balos ruins&x201D;

Balos ruins was the location discovered by the Storuild

&x2018;In the end, I have to head east?&x2019;

It seemed Hyrkan's fate was closely intertwined with the Storuild

&x2018;A tomb&x2019;

Hyrkan knew that the word, 'todom &xA0;There were a lot of locations that started or ended with tododoures were buried in tombs, and these tombs were usually filled with Ite enough?

&x2018;East &xA0;It would be a jackpot if I find the King's To's Tomb was found, it would be a jackpot for hiain two scrolls of Legendary Rank Ancient Power &xA0;If he was lucky, he would be able obtain an a Item &xA0;Even if it was a lesser tomb, there should be multiple Items within it

Of course, these tombs were difficult &xA0;If one found the toht athe peak of the Urugal uardians of the to for the Users

&x2018;Let's look at this in a positive light&x2019;

Hyrkan systematically listed the i to the north or the south &xA0;Hyrkan and the Storht until their faces were red if they wanted to, but an excuse would be needed to start the feud &xA0;However, the Five Stars guild didn't need any pretext &xA0;They would try to kill Hyrkan on sight

&x201C;Was there any other clues left behind&x201D;

&x201C;None This item was by itself in the ht &xA0;Good job&x201D;

Hyrkan was about to leave &xA0;Since he had nothing to gain here, why should he stay any longer?

&x201C;Ah &xA0;Also&x201D;

Hyrkan was about to walk ahen NPC Diung stopped hidohts here I believe you deserve to know this, Hyrkan-nim &xA0;It'll happen in secret, so please don't tell anyone else about this&x201D;

&x201C;Really?&x201D;

Hyrkan tilted his head

The word, 'order of knights', wasn't a bad thing in itself

The problehts and the Ruined Kingdom &xA0;He knehat came out when these two elehts&x201D;

&x201C;I cannot tell you any dodom needed a closer examination &xA0;They will be here on orders&x201D;

&x201C;Thank you for infor me&x201D;

&x201C;Then I'll pray for your success &xA0;Please find the whereabouts of our Arch his head, Hyrkan exited the roohts weren't filled with infore Bokan

&x2018;Are the Steel Lion Knights heading this way? &xA0;Was the Barbarian King event already triggered?&x2019;

Black Continent &xA0;Before Hyrkan returned to the past, the Ruined Kingdohts had appeared there &xA0;Of course, they appeared for Quests and events &xA0;They would never appear randomly to take down a hts and the Barbarian King event was an integral part of the Ruined Kingdoreat battle The Steel Lion Knights would start to operate within the Black Continent with great success, and they would eventually awaken the Barbarian King &xA0;Froainst the Barbarian King &xA0;The Barbarian King had a special characteristic of being able use all monsters as vassals &xA0;Its poas selected to be akin to the Power of Corruption

If things ended there, it wouldn't be a proble the Barbarian King &xA0;In the regions near the Boss ed

Basically, the Barbarian King made all , the nearby hunting grounds beca
