“Human, is it okay to leave these all here?”

Raon didn't even look at the unconscious Number 7 and just pointed toward the jiangshis.

Choi Han nonchalantly chucked Number 7 to the ground and started to speak.

“Cale-nim, we didn't expect there to be this many.”

The original plan was for Raon to use the highest-grade magic stones to create a teleportation magic circle and move the jiangshis. Furthermore, their plan was to leave traces of having infiltrated this underground tomb even if they couldn't destroy it.

“Choi Han, but we can't leave these here!”

“That is true.”

Raon and Choi Han continued their discussion while looking at each other. Cale’s voice interjected into their conversation.

“We will leave them here for now.”

Raon’s eyes opened wide. Choi Han looked toward Cale in shock as well.

“H, human! There is no way that you would do that!”

“Cale-nim-”

Unlike the shocked duo, Cale was calm. He kicked the unconscious Number 7 with his foot as he spoke.

“Based on Number 7's reaction before he fainted, it is highly likely that there are jiangshis in other locations as well.”

‘I agree with that part, human!”

Cale turned toward the jiangshis.

"We need to figure out the other location as well. Don’t you think so?”

The corners of Cale’s lips twisted up. He soon put on the mask.

“Let’s hurry it up a bit. We have a lot of things to do.”

“Human, what do we need to do?”

Raon's eyes sparkled after figuring out that Cale had some sort of plan.

“It’s not that difficult.”

Cale motioned to Choi Han who placed Number 7 over his shoulder like a potato sack.

Cale turned around from the jiangshis and headed toward the door.

"Erase all traces of us having come to this underground tomb.”

Number 7 had said the following while disarming the traps on their way to Area 5.

‘They become disarmed if you move them opposite the way to activate them.’

Choi Han cautiously looked at Cale and asked.

“Cale-nim, reactivating the traps that have been disarmed......?”

“I remember them.”

Cale had recorded the entirety of Number 7 disarming the traps.

Choi Han looked at the door that was destroyed.

"Then what about this door?”

"Just leave it as is.”

Choi Han thought about it for a moment before smiling innocently.

“I guess the enemies will find it scary. An existence who knows all of the traps and can disappear without a trace had infiltrated the underground tomb only to purposely destroy the door and not touch anything else.”

Cale nodded his head as if he agreed and then lightheartedly commented.

“Let’s get moving.”

Shaaaaaaaaaaaa-

Raon erased all of the magic light orbs floating around the area.

Raon looked at the area that was covered in darkness again before hearing Cale’s voice and turning his head without any hesitation.

"We will see it again soon.”

That one sentence was enough for Raon to follow Cale.

“Olivia.”

“Yes, Royal Father.”

Olivia smiled as gently as possible. She kept peeking at the door as she did that.

‘...Why is the signal not coming?’

The Purifier said that he, in his priest outfit, would come to find Olivia once everything was over.

The Purifier was going to say that he was worried about her health to pull her out of here as naturally as possible.

‘Was it supposed to take this long?’

However, the Purifier did not show up despite the expected amount of time passing.

‘Did something happen?

Did he perhaps get caught?

‘No. Then it would not be this quiet.’

If the Purifier’s group got caught while doing what they planned on doing, the Emperor’s Palace would be in an uproar right now.

An outsider would have infiltrated the Emperor’s Palace. But it was silent right now.

‘It is suffocatingly silent.’

The Emperor’s Palace was eerily calm.

‘What should I say now?’

Olivia had chatted about a lot of things with the Emperor already. It started with asking if the corpses of the First Imperial Prince and Fourth Imperial Prince were found before asking if the Emperor’s body and heart were okay. The Emperor then asked concerned about her injuries and she said that she was okay while making it clearly visible that she was still in pain.
