He could hear insects and birds chirping in his ears.
His nose was filled with the fragrance of the earth and plants.
When the gray mist disappeared, Kieran was back in Forende Town, which had turned into a primeval forest.
"Huh?"
Although such a return was something to be happy about, it also made Kieran doubtful.
Before Kieran could think further, Schmidt's surprised voice came from afar.
“2567！”
Charles, Raul and Cidney were there as well.
"I finally found you!
The mist disappeared with you the moment you got out of the car! "
"Wait!"
Kieran raised his hand to stop Schmidt. He asked in a serious tone, "I disappeared with the mist when I got out of the car. Schmidt, are you alright?"
"Yeah!"
"What's wrong?"
Schmidt nodded. He had wanted to crack a joke, but when he saw Kieran's expression, he knew that something was wrong. He swallowed his joke back down his throat.
Kieran didn't answer Schmidt. He looked at Charles instead.
"Master, when you entered the forest, did you feel like you were being watched?"
Kieran asked.
"No!
Although you reminded me, I didn't feel anything. Maybe I'm getting old and my senses are getting slower! "
The alchemy master was used to joking around.
After spending a week together, Kieran knew how sharp Schmidt's senses were and how agile he was.
He might look like an old man on the outside, but not on the outside.
His body was definitely not that old.
He was not any weaker than Kieran!
Kieran, who had doubts in his heart, was even more certain of his previous guesses.
"I see."
Kieran muttered in his heart before turning to the others. "Everyone, let's go back to camp."
Due to their trust in Kieran, the others followed Kieran back to the camp by the lake.
"Do you want something to eat?"
Schmidt pointed at the roasted fish and some canned food on the fire.
Kieran picked up a grilled fish and pulled out a branch from the pile of firewood.
"Schmidt and I were outside Freud."
While Kieran was recounting his experience, he used the branch to write down his deductions on the ground in the common language without leaving a trace.
He wrote.
"That gray mist has a certain level of intelligence!"
"In the primeval forest, I was the only one who felt like I was being watched, but I couldn't find the person. I thought it was because of the trees, but I was wrong. It wasn't the trees, but the fog!"
"In the past, I never imagined that mist would have life and intelligence."
"If it has intelligence, then it makes sense that Schmidt and I met the gray fog at the same time, and only I was taken away, because Schmidt couldn't open the door full of runes! Just as I was about to take a closer look at the runes, I was brought back here. It wanted to protect the secret there. "
"From choosing a suitable target to completing the corresponding mission, and then ensuring that the mission is not interrupted, although I can't tell if it has the intelligence of a normal person, its behavior is enough to prove that it doesn't rely on instinct!"
"So, we are facing a different kind of monster!"
Kieran wrote quickly and erased the words.
However, that didn't stop everyone from seeing what he was writing.
Raul and Cidney looked at each other.
Charles smoked his cigarette and kept quiet.
Schmidt, on the other hand, picked up another branch curiously and wrote his questions.
"Why did it choose you?"
"Bloodline!
I have a special bloodline that allows me to open the door! "
Kieran answered.
He was going to answer with strength at first.
But when he thought of Charles and the devil statue in the hall, Kieran corrected himself.
Charles's strength was not any weaker than his own.
If Kieran had chosen his target based on strength, Charles would have noticed that he was being watched.
Plus, the devil statue was there.
The answer was obvious.
"Do you remember the runes on the door?"
Charles suddenly wrote.
"The runes were small and concentrated, and the way they were written on top of each other made it hard to read. I can only remember a few."
Kieran then wrote the few runes that he remembered.
Charles looked at the few runes in silence.
His silence attracted everyone's attention.
A few minutes later, Charles wrote again.
"Seal!
"2567 saw some kind of seal, it might be sealing something inside."
"Devil!"
The word "devil" made everyone hold their breaths.
The modern mystical realm's understanding of how scary the devil was came from the books passed down from generation to generation, but Kieran's sudden appearance had allowed people to understand what a monster from the mythological era was like.
Even if it was just a glimpse.
It was enough to defeat the East Coast mystical realm's invaders.
Fortunately, the Bird of Death was not a hot-tempered person. Otherwise, other than the God of Earth, who had yet to show up, I can't think of anyone else who could subdue him!
The description in the mysterious newspaper was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
However, compared to a real devil from the abyss, Kieran, as a descendant of the devil, was still lacking.
Kieran wouldn't deny it.
He knew very well that his devil bloodline wasn't pure.
He could transform into a devil because of the Fusion Heart.
The Fusion Heart didn't just contain a devil's heart, it also contained a human's heart and the broken Eye of Chimeras.
Although the Eye of Chimeras appeared in the form of a beast of desire, Kieran would never forget its true form.
"A real devil?"
Kieran took a long breath.
He would never doubt Charles' judgment as a Master Alchemist.
Likewise, he wouldn't doubt the existence of a devil in this dungeon world.
After all, he had obtained the Devil's Heart from the shaman's partner in this dungeon world.
It could even be called the island prison dungeon world.
"There's a devil statue there, and a devil is sealed there?
That doesn't seem possible, does it? "
Schmidt wrote in confusion.
"The devil isn't a peace-loving race. Most of the wars in the abyss are caused by them fighting each other. It's normal for a sealed devil to appear in the Temple of Evil that worships the devil. It might be the spoils of war of the devil or the monarch that the devil once served! "
Kieran explained the world view of the abyss in this dungeon world to Schmidt before he turned to Charles.
Kieran hoped to borrow Charles' experience against an enemy he wasn't confident in.
"We …"
Charles wrote.
However, before he could finish his words …
Further away in the primeval forest, another thick mist spread.
The second one was even worse.
