"Is this the place?"
A black shadow appeared in the sky above the desert, where sand and dust swirled through the air.
It was a Jester draped in a black cloak, with no lower body, white gloves on both hands, and a lantern hanging from one hand.
The Jester lowered his head and looked at the inn standing amid the blowing sand, his eyes lighting up like lamps.
"This is the Outermost Dwelling Key Points mentioned by the Searcher Hunters, right?"
Muttering to himself, the Jester raised the lantern in his hand.
"Boom..."
Dark brown flames immediately began burning within the lantern.
The flames scattered sparks, which drifted with the strong wind, circled above the inn, and then returned to the lantern.
"Tch..."
The Jester immediately clicked his tongue.
"As expected, there's no trace of a Flame Haze Warrior. It's just an insignificant Key Points."
Outermost Dwelling Key Points had now spread throughout the world, but their importance naturally varied according to their scale.
The five Key Points Wilhelmina had mentioned as having been destroyed were central facilities, places akin to headquarters.
Apart from those central Key Points, Outermost Dwelling Key Points in various countries also had so-called branches.
Those branch Key Points merely provided simple support. They were like bank ATMs: money could be withdrawn there, but more complicated services required a visit to a true Key Points.
Those Key Points not only had a large number of staff members, but also Flame Haze Warriors responsible for their protection and management.
Destroying such Key Points required a substantial investment of combat power.
However, while this Key Points in the desert region was not a branch, its remote location meant that few Flame Haze Warriors were stationed there.
Thus, only this Crimson Realm Denizen had been sent to destroy it.
