Not figuratively, the space was really being destroyed. Along with the collapsing scene, unknown bizarre energy began to flow from all directions.
“Damn it! Why did you set things up like this!”
“I understand. We didn’t have much time left anyway. A gambling balance worth taking a bet on.”
The energy I felt was unusual, so I spoke to Ouroboros again.
“When will you arrive?”
-Three days in human time?
It was a very fast pace compared to the two months, but I was worried if I could survive for three days.
-Hold on well. if you can hold on I don’t know about the other guys.
I didn’t care at all for what he said as an advice, but I didn’t intend to blame Ouroboros as it was my decision.
Kududeuk-
“What is that?”
“Awesome! What is your true identity?”
Then, through the cracks in the split world, bizarre eyes appeared and began to look at us. There were various types of eyes, from those with white and black pupils like humans, to vertically split eyes like cats and reptiles.
-Standing there would be rather dangerous. I recommend running away. Because I can find you anyway.
Unusual eyes and advice from Ouroboros.
I immediately called people together.
“I will change location.”
“huh? why?”
“It’s good to get a little closer to the snake’s head. Even if you stand still, nothing will change.”
There’s no need to confuse you by talking about danger.
I took the lead with Luna holding my hand tightly. The direction is where Ouroboros’ head is.
‘Even if they find out that I’m a warlock, I will protect them.’
I made a promise, feeling the warmth in your hand.

The wizards who came a long way to enter Portion felt puzzled when they saw that they were suddenly pushed back.
“Why does the line not come out like this?”
“No matter how much it is a Nivas festival, this is too serious. Were there that many people?”
All non-warlocks could do was grumble, but real warlocks were different.
“Get out of the way.”
The grotesque sorcerer spewing steam from his body muttered in a terrifying tone. Then the wizards standing in line hurriedly opened the way.
“It’s Agnis’ sub-tap lord.”
“Wow......”
Kunjabi of Flame, the sub-tap master of Agnis Magic Tower, exhaled a dangerous atmosphere with her whole body. And after that, one of the most famous warlocks on the continent, Agnis Magic Tower, suddenly walked.
“Hey, this year, both Agnis’ top keeper and sub-top keeper participated. I never thought Lexi Mahomes would come.”
“I think I know why.”
“huh? Do you know why?”
“Lexi Mahomes once visited Rodlen Academy. The reason I visited then was because of Adrias Cromwell.”
“Ah, then you must have come to see Adrias again!”
Listening to the whispers, Kunjabi, who was walking ahead, murmured.
“The worms are trumpet trumpet trumpet trumpet ......”
“Why are you so grumpy again, Quinkel.”
Lexi smiled softly and soothed Kunjabi. However, Kunjabi frowned as if she didn’t like Lexi either.
Push-
Ik– Vapor filled the air.
“There are too many bugs. Things like that don’t help the world at all.”
“Warlocks will later be born from such people. Don’t look too hard on me.”
“The thing I hate the most in the first place is that you brought me to a place full of these worms, Lexi Mahomes.”
“Oh, I should call you Mage Tower Lord. It’s outside.”
Kunjabi kept his mouth shut.
Rexie laughed awkwardly at the expression that she didn’t want to talk anymore.
“Come to think of it, the great sage also participated in this festival.”
“.......”
“You said you wanted to meet me the other day. I don’t know how many days you’ll be participating, but I’ll be able to meet you this time.”
As they chatted, they arrived at the entrance and witnessed an unexpected sight.
“Hey, long time no see.”
“Moika? What are you doing here?”
“There is a problem.”
A scene where several warlocks are gathered.
It was a very unfamiliar sight to see those who should have entered Portion right away, sitting on their seats like old people coming out to drink.
“Is it a problem?”
“Portrion is blocked.”
Not only Lexi but also Kunjabi just listened blankly to the completely unexpected reply.
“Because I can use mana.”
After confirming Lucia’s condition, I slightly turned my head to look at Luna. For some reason, since she had entered this space, she had become much less talkative and lost her vitality, but when I asked if she was sick, she just shook her head.
“.......”
“.......”
The people became quiet.
However, the surroundings were still noisy due to the noise of the world crashing.
“It’s been 10 minutes. Wake up.”
“Has it been 10 minutes already?”
“I can’t. Just leave it.”
Most people woke up, but some showed no signs of getting up. I didn’t have any intention of taking care of everyone, so I didn’t bother stopping those who didn’t wake up.
“Hey! Let’s rest a little longer!”
“You have to move.”
“Why? I heard that Ouroboros is coming to visit anyway? Why do you insist on such a forced march!”
“Ouroboros warned. It’s dangerous to stay still.”
“You really believe everything he says. If it is false, how will you take responsibility?”
I just thought that believing in Ouroboros’ words was more beneficial than not believing them. Because the risk of not believing was much greater.
I ignored the other person’s words and moved on. Finally, the disgruntled Warlock shouted.
“If you leave me as is, I will fall asleep!”
“Are you threatening me? Give it a try.”
“You know you can’t say that? I’m already tired, but that’s great!”
It was very real.
However, since it is obvious that if I break down here, other people will ignore me and act recklessly, I started walking as it is.
“This guy! If you escape this place, I won’t let you go!”
In the end, Warlock, who was threatening us with sleep, hurriedly started following us.
The atmosphere was not very good, perhaps because of the disgruntled voices. And to the point of exhaustion, people just walked without saying a word.
‘I said I shouldn’t be quiet, but is it okay?’
I didn’t know exactly what was going on, but since the surroundings were noisy, I wondered if it wouldn’t matter if we didn’t talk.
Rather than that, the key is how to hold on for the next two days...
Tadadadak!
“hmm?”
hallucinations?
Over the noise of the cracks came the sudden sound of bare skin running across the floor. But no one reacted except me, so I turned off my nerves and walked again.
“.......”
In the situation where Bahat, Lucia, and Luna were just walking without saying a word, the sound that they thought was an hallucination began to be heard again as they were filled with anxiety about the remaining time.
Tak tok tok tok!
A little clearer sound this time.
And it was getting closer.
“wait a minute. Can no one hear this?”
“Yes?”
When I stopped and spoke, everyone looked at me as if I was saying something.
“Can’t you hear the sound?”
The surroundings were quiet.
Suddenly, I couldn’t hear anything again, so I felt strange.
“Are you crazy?”
“If it’s the sound of this space collapsing, I’ve heard it well since before.”
Why did the sound suddenly stop again?
I definitely heard the sound of something rushing towards me...
‘Am I weird?’
I roughly said it was nothing and started walking again. After everyone shut their mouths and started walking again, the sound came again.
Tak-tak-tak-tak- I
tried to ignore it, thinking it might be hallucinations, but Luna, who was walking next to me, hesitated and turned her head.
“Why are you like that?”
“I can hear.”
The noise disappeared again as we spoke.
In the process, I vaguely noticed something.
‘Why did I tell you not to be quiet?’
When Luna and I paused again to focus on the sound, we heard the noise again.
Tadadadadad —–!
“Huh?”
Finally, I looked around to see if anyone else had heard the noise.
In the meantime, I increased my eyesight by using mana. Then, through the fog, I saw something vaguely.
‘......Is it a horror movie?’
Thousands of pale hands were crawling on the floor.
