The Peak of the Magic World

Expedition #1

A mountain, the Land of Death

Introduce my name Teredeon, I am the commander of the 2nd unit of magic kesatira sent to this place. I have a beautiful princess, she has always been my encouragement while doing dangerous tasks from the kingdom. Her name is Eilen, she's as jolly as her mother. Just his presence alone has made me forget my fatigue all this time.

But the current situation is beyond our expectations. This place we came to is truly a cursed place, there should be no place like this in the world.

To find out our trip I'll tell you everything. Starting from a year ago, when the kings gathered together to discuss something.

I don't know what they're discussing, but the point of this time's mission is to take back an object that's said to be a tool to end demonic rule in this world.

Many knights did not dare to take part in the expedition this time. Therefore we only managed to gather 5 units of troops, led by a veteran named Grey Hod.

In the morning, off the coast of Yeon Pyong shortly after our departure. We started to introduce ourselves one by one.

Initially the journey went well, not many obstacles we encountered at sea. But Mr. Grey begins to warn us when entering the border with the old blue continent (land of death).

High-level magic monsters began to emerge from the bottom of the ocean. Every day we never stop fighting these monsters.

In addition, the more we approach the land of death the greater the storm we must pass. Because of the strong influence of nature and the attack of magic monsters, the ship we have only one piece left.

All units are on one ship and crammed into each other. There were about five hundred more people in that ship.

Until we finally started to see the land we were headed to. But before he could get close, a giant eel came against us. That eel is a level 9 magic beast, its power is able to blow away our ship with a single flick of its tail.

Then the tragedy happened.Our ship was destroyed and everyone was trapped in the whirlpool of the sea. That night was the height of the storm we were through.

After that I couldn't remember, everything happened so quickly. All I know is that we drowned into a sea filled with terrible monsters.

Either a miracle or not, but some of us made it to this land. Or rather we're stranded here.

All I can get is a few other lucky people. Or you could say other unlucky people, because we don't know what we're going to face here.

Someone told me that that night Mr. Grey sacrificed himself so that some of us could stay alive. He said Mr. Grey used a magic that repelled attacks from other magic monsters.

Unfortunately it wasn't strong enough to fight that eel, so most of us had already fallen on the way.

The remaining of us decided to continue on the journey so as not to waste the sacrifice of our comrades.

From the beginning we set foot in this place, we all knew right away that this place was very dangerous. A lot of intimidating auras pierced them.

The one who survived was still around eighty people, and we decided to split the team into a first team and a scout team.

There is nothing we can do anymore, even for the most fearful of people. There are no ships to return to, and even if we had a ship we would not have encountered such a monstrous monster as the eel.

Right now we are just a bunch of cowards who think there is nothing like the devil in this place, rather than having to go home and meet a higher danger.

Three days later

We regret the choices we made. Today we are running again from the attack of a very terrible creature. Maybe that's what our ancestors called demons.

Dozens of us have been killed in just three days. This land is truly cursed, even the best knights of the kingdom are just like babies to them.

Damn, my sanity is starting to disappear. Every day I would love to end my own life, but I know it will affect the morale of our remaining unit. The only thing that keeps me up is this photo of my daughter.

How are you, Eilen? May you always be in good condition. Forgive your father for being such a coward, but they are of a different level. It's really terrible.

Only nine people are left of us. Some even died after too long without sleep. The morale of this army is completely destroyed. We don't know what else could have happened.

In that fear, I saw the demon army begin to approach our hideout. It's over twenty. But suddenly appeared the man who confronted the team.

Although his stature is the same as that of a human, but his ears are the same as those of a demon. The shape of the ears that look taper.

There was a fight between them, but he finished off the demons by himself.

Everyone who saw him immediately revealed a face full of hope. And approached the man.

"What are humans doing here?" Ask the pira while looking at us.

No one dared to answer. All was quiet and just followed her away.

During the journey this man continuously wiped out the demonic forces like a fly.

No one knows how strong he really is. But honestly we followed it just to protect ourselves so we didn't really care about the achievement.

"Until when will you follow me? Go home, come back to your homes. This isn't the place you're supposed to be"

"But we can't go back, our ship was already destroyed attacked by a magic mosnter. We're stuck here"

"You mean you can't fly? I thought humans could fly"

"It's ridiculous, of course we can't fly. We ask for your help"

"We beg you"

"We beg you"

Everyone begged the man for life, including me. Finally he took us to a place he said was safe. That place is on this mountain.

This place looks different from other places, but we still feel scared because the man just disappeared after driving us here.

Some even reproached him for leaving us, but to me it was not something we could blame.

He certainly has his own business, and we've been bothering him just for his own sake.

I hate myself, we are all the same. But of course we hate the demons and magic monsters more. But what we hate more than anything is the rulers who send expeditions to this damned place.
