It was dark. Night? No, this place was somewhere underground. Grid used the light elemental.

‘...It is a cave.’

It was a very narrow cave. If he didn’t squeeze his body, his shoulders would be touching the walls. If he didn’t bow, his head would be touching the ceiling. Grid started to move along the winding path with the light elemental and thought it was like a giant ant cave or a rabbit cave.

“It’s safe, nyang. The great Noe has confirmed that there are no traps and monsters,” Noe, who returned after looking around, spoke. Hell’s best demonic beast’s senses became more advanced. The higher the level, the greater his ability to sense danger.

Grid nodded with a rotten expression.

The Easterners tended to use the names Four Auspicious Beasts or four sacred creatures mixed together. Sacred creature referred to a mystical animal and were different from gods, which meant the people’s faith in the red phoenix, white tiger, black tortoise, and blue dragon wasn’t as deep.

‘That’s why I thought they were of a grade lower than the gods.’

Now he saw that the Four Auspicious Beasts were also gods. They had been defending the East Continent long before the Five Seniors were driven to the east.

‘It is probably because of the Five Seniors and yangban that they aren’t treated as gods.’

he recalled the blue tiger’s words. In fact, the weapons of the sacred creatures were actually seals locking up the Four Auspicious Beasts? Now he could understand why the yangbans had the breaths of the sacred creatures. The yangbans weren’t
