Scorching fireworks erupted against Belobog's walls.

Stelle, March Seven, Dan Heng, and Sampo stared dumbfoundedly at Lin Nai, who had activated Corona Power.

No way.

You actually blew up the wall!!!

"What are you standing around for? Move! Someone will be here soon!" Lin Nai urged.

The others did not dare hesitate either. If they stayed here any longer, they might end up in jail.

So they hurried through the blasted hole in the wall.

Just like going through the front gate.

Lin Nai returned to his original state, gathering light energy and releasing a soft rainbow-colored wave of light.

The wall he had blown apart slowly returned to its original state.

Miracle Realization.

That was why Lin Nai had dared to blast the wall apart.

Without that move, he would not have dared to blow it up.

As for why he had not used the Disc Blade to manually open a door, Belobog's walls were a little too thick, making it troublesome.

So Lin Nai chose the simpler method.

He simply blew it up, then restored it afterward.

Sampo opened his mouth in shock.

"Huh?"

Wait.

The wall was fixed just like that?

Vocal!

"Wait, wait, wait!" Sampo suddenly dropped to the ground. "Where's my hole?!"

"Oh, it seems... it seems it got repaired too." Lin Nai touched the wall, his expression strange.

After Miracle Realization was cast.

This entire section of wall had become completely new.

Naturally, Sampo's former dog hole was gone without a trace...

"Noooooo!!!"

Sampo let out a pained wail.

"My dog hole! My hole! After all these years!"

"Gepard is coming with the Silvermane Guard!!" Lin Nai jumped beside the grieving Sampo and suddenly shouted.

"Farewell!"

Sampo jolted in fright, immediately sprang up, and turned to leave without hesitation.

But after taking only two steps.

Sampo moonwalked back.

The four looked at him in confusion.

"Ahem, well, little brother, you see, I've brought you here, so, um..."

Sampo raised his hands, signaling for Lin Nai to undo the restraints on them.

Lin Nai reached out, grabbed the restraints, and yanked them off.

Sampo sighed in relief. "Then, everyone, the green hills remain and the rivers keep flowing! We shall meet again if fate allows!"

After saying that, Sampo ran off in a flash.

Lin Nai then pulled out a bag containing the Winter City Shields that had originally been given to Sampo.

While helping Sampo remove his restraints.

He had taken the money back.

Sharp-eyed Stelle noticed this and was just about to say something when Lin Nai grabbed her hand.

"Come on, come on, we need to go too."

Lin Nai urged them, pulling Stelle with one hand and March Seven with the other, calling Dan Heng as he began to flee.

What a joke.

With such a huge commotion, there was no telling whether any Belobog Silvermane Guards were nearby.

If they were discovered, things would be difficult no matter what.

They should retreat first.

"By the way, where are we?" March Seven curiously looked around.

There was no sign of people.

But that was normal.

After all, this was a hole used for sneaking in.

"Who knows... but it definitely isn't a nice place." Lin Nai stopped walking.

Stelle and March Seven both looked at Lin Nai in confusion.

Only Dan Heng noticed something. He drew his spear and prepared for battle.

Tap, tap, tap—

Lin Nai released the hands he was holding, crossed both arms over his chest, and readied himself.

Tap, tap, tap—

Footsteps approached.

Soon, the newcomers appeared before the four of them: a group of Abyss Creatures.

"Is this also the Stellaron's influence?" Stelle took out her baseball bat.

"Yes." Dan Heng nodded. "Everyone, be caref—"

Before Dan Heng could finish speaking, Lin Nai had already unleashed a Multiple Guillotine!

With his arms stretched horizontally, energy was released from his head, abdomen, and hands, firing cross-shaped blades of light at the enemies.

The Abyss Creatures had no time to dodge. They were all struck and fell to the ground.

"So fast!" March Seven said in surprise. "I thought you were going to rush in and tear their heads off."

"I'm not that brutal!" Lin Nai complained indignantly.

Was he really some kind of cruel person?

He was obviously very caring, okay!

Just look at his magenta camera! Wasn't that caring enough?!

That clearly had nothing to do with it...

"Isn't it?"

Stelle blinked. "Shouldn't you be shouting something like, 'Abyss Creatures can't feel pain!'?"

"Hmm... now that you mention it, I've always been curious whether the Anti-Matter Legion can actually feel pain."

March Seven tapped her chin with her index finger and asked.

Dan Heng shook his head. "I don't know."

Then he looked at Lin Nai.

Lin Nai spread his hands. "Does that matter? If they can feel pain, I have to kill them. If they can't feel pain, don't I still have to kill them?"

"One of us has to die. If they don't die... am I supposed to die instead?"

"Fair point." *3

After hearing Lin Nai's words, the three of them nodded together. It did seem right.

"Mm! Then let's just assume they can't feel pain!" March Seven nodded, deciding that she would be harsher in the future too, so they could reach paradise sooner.

"Let's go. This alley might be full of Abyss Creatures, so be careful."

Lin Nai took out that black Curry Stick and walked at the front to clear the way.

Stelle held her baseball bat and stayed beside March Seven, the archer.

Dan Heng covered the rear.

After wandering around for who knew how long, the four of them returned to where they had started.

The four fell silent.

"This is bad. We can't get out..."

"Let me try!" Stelle volunteered, taking the lead this time.

Not long after.

The four of them sneakily emerged from the alley and looked toward the other side of the gate.

That was where Belobog's people lived.

March Seven: "So... Lin Nai, you're bad with directions, aren't you?"

Lin Nai: "Seems like it..."

Stelle: "Ah... then Lin Nai, you'll have to stick close to me from now on!"

Lin Nai: "Yeah, yeah... wait, someone's coming."

Lin Nai reacted quickly, grabbing Stelle and March Seven and retreating into the corner at the same time as Dan Heng.

Lin Nai carefully peeked out and saw two Silvermane Guards passing in front of the iron gate.

It seemed that passing through this gate would bring them to the so-called Overworld.

The city's temperature remained as mild as spring, and its people still maintained the routines of the old era. The heavily armored Silvermane Guard patrolled without pause, protecting the city's peace.

"There are a lot of people patrolling outside... according to Sampo, they should be the Silvermane Guard."

Dan Heng watched the other side of the iron gate vigilantly. "What do we do next?"

"Find a way through."

"Do you have a way?"

"Yes, wait a moment." Lin Nai crouched over and forcibly pulled open the iron gate.

Seeing this, the three immediately jogged over without waiting for Lin Nai to call them.

After Lin Nai made sure no one was watching, they passed through the iron gate one by one.

After everyone had passed through, Lin Nai used Miracle Realization to restore the iron gate.

Phew...

They had arrived at the highest city in the world! Belobog!

Belobog was so beautiful.

Oh, wasn't that the plaza statue, the Everwinter Monument, and round-faced Pela?

But they should probably look at the Goethe Hotel in the distance, everyone.

After all, they needed to solve the lodging problem first!
