Unlike any teleportation light they had ever seen before.
What appeared before the Goblins this time was a sight they had never witnessed.
The entire process was brief and efficient, lasting less than three seconds.
Three seconds later, the teleportation light vanished, leaving behind a familiar figure.
"Elder Mite?"
When Glargong saw the newcomer's face clearly, his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
Mite, who had just appeared, turned toward Glargong's voice, a relieved smile just beginning to form on his face.
But in the next second, the blazing fire he caught from the corner of his eye seized his attention.
His warm greeting instantly turned into a terrified demand:
"Yeah, it's me... Holy shit? What are you doing!?"
"Why are you burning down the settlement?"
Babayak, busy setting fires, instinctively turned at the shout behind him.
The moment his eyes met Mite's, both of them froze for quite a while.
Then—
Babayak's face instantly lit up with delight.
"Elder Mite, how did you get back?!"
"Lord Li Yun sent me back to gather people... No, that's not the point! The point is, what the hell are you doing!?" Mite, in a rare occurrence, lost his usual smooth-talking ability and began to stammer.
"You came back alone?" Rather than answer Mite's question, Babayak strode toward him with a torch in hand.
His aggressive approach nearly made Mite's legs give out beneath him, leaving him ready to collapse to his knees.
"Y-you don't come any closer. Just stay there and talk to me." Mite backed away two steps warily, his voice trembling.
"Lord Li Yun said the situation was urgent, so he only sent me back alone to gather people."
"And he even gave me a teleportation item I'd never seen before, called a [Directional Teleportation Card]."
"Unfortunately, it's single-use.
