Chapter 416: Construction × Complete × Fields
The monsters that broke into the building soon reported what they found inside to Nurarihyon.
But their report made Nurarihyon frown, because it was not what he had imagined, and the place he was looking for was not there.

There was no need to protect a rest area like this. In Nurarihyon's view, its value had vanished when nearly all the humans in this city died.

The stone gate could not have an endless supply of energy, so the only thing supplying it with energy could be the building it stood in.
Understanding gradually dawned in Nurarihyon's eyes. Perhaps the more they attacked the building, or even broke into it, the further they would be from entering the true space behind the stone gate!
