The Author's POV

Chapter 585

"Are we in the right place?"

Kevin asked as he stood behind what seemed to be a large metallic door that was at least fifteen meters in height.

The room they were in used to be heavily guarded by demons, but after fighting against them for the past half an hour or so, they were finally able to clear all the demons in their way and finally reach the doors that led to the mana compressor.

The room was rather large but was rather dark as there were no lights lighting up the surroundings. An iron-like smell, reminiscent of that of blood, lingered in the air.

"Let me check."

Turning her wrist and tapping on her watch, A holographic image appeared in front of Melissa.

Double checking with the image and looking around, she nodded her head.

"…It seems like it."

"Okay."

Kevin pressed his hand against the door, and mana erupted from his body.

He was currently trying to see if he could force his way through the door.

'As expected of an ranked mission.'

Kevin thought while he was checking the door.

It took quite a while for Kevin to reach this place, and throughout the journey, he met a lot of Count ranked demons.

He didn't face a Marquis ranked demon just yet…but he knew that there was most likely going to be one soon, and the thought made him involuntary swallow a mouthful of saliva.

'Can I really defeat a Marquis ranked demon?'

He may not have been alone, as there were others with him, but with Ren and Angelica gone, Kevin didn't feel confident in defeating a Marquis ranked demon.

Especially since he was only rank.

It wasn't exactly impossible, but it sure as heck wasn't going to be something easy to achieve.

"It doesn't look like the door can be opened through force."

Taking his hand away from the door, Kevin looked toward the others with a complex look on his face.

"Then what should we do?"

Jin ask as he also placed his hand on the door.

When he confirmed that Kevin was telling the truth, he also removed his hand from the door.

"We wait for Ren."

Kevin replied while he sat on the ground, channeling the mana within himself.

"The door can only be opened through demonic energy, and since none of us here have any demonic energy, we have no choice but to wait for Ren."

"Thats a dangerous plan."

Melissa commented while pointing toward a couple of figures next to her. Particularly, she was pointing at Smallsnake that was currently still in a coma.

"He isn't exactly in the best of conditions at the moment. Although the potion has stabilized his conditions, who knows what might happen if we suddenly get ambushed by demons, which seems to be a very likely possibility."

"…You're right."

Kevin nodded his head slightly as he crossed his arms and fell into thought. It didn't take long for him to raise his hand and stand up.

"Let's not wait over here. Let's move somewhere else while we wait for Ren and th—watch out!"
