111.
The sudden turn of events threw the entire colosseum into chaos.
“What’s happening!”
“Instructor Berga! This is serious! Lord Arron’s Heroes’ World has opened!”
“What did you say?”
Berga’s face hardened stiffly.
Berga knew that the phenomenon that had just occurred was a precursor to the establishment of a Heroes’ World.
Even so, he couldn’t dare imagine that a Heroes’ World had actually opened.
What’s needed to open a Heroes’ World is the hero himself, or an object imbued with strong connections.
In this era, the reality is that not only objects related to the Great Heroes, but even pages of the Great Heroes barely remain.
That’s why most pages that hadn’t opened until now were expected to remain closed forever.
Yet now, one of them had opened.
“Is it a rampage?”
“It seems so!”
For whatever reason, the opening of Arron’s world was an encouraging event.
Even if it was dungeonification due to a rampage, one could inherit Arron’s power by conquering it.
The problem was those who had entered Arron’s world now.
His own daughter and his old friend’s son.
Young ones who wouldn’t be strange to call greenhorns.
‘Can those children conquer Lord Arron’s world?’
Berga clenched his trembling hands and gritted his teeth.
***
“If this is Lord Arron’s world, then this is the Age of Calamity, right?”
“It seems so.”
When Leo looked away from the sky and answered, Ar made a serious expression.
“Why did the Heroes’ World suddenly activate?”
“Who knows. Let’s try communicating with the outside first.”
At those words, Leo brought his right hand’s index and middle fingers together to his temple.
As he concentrated in that position, a faint blue light flowed out.
“Le… No. This is Kail. Can you hear me?”
If it were a normal Heroes’ World, communication with the outside should have been possible.
However, despite Leo’s call, there was complete silence from outside.
Leo glanced at Ar.
Ar also wore a dejected expression, seemingly having failed to communicate with the outside.
“A Hero Dungeon due to rampage? Then why suddenly? There’s never been a record of a prologue page opening in the past thousands of years.”
Looking at Ar’s serious expression, Leo looked down at his own hand.
The sudden rampage of Arron’s page.
He had a suspicion about this situation.
‘During heroics class and when I touched my hero page in Berkia, the Heroes’ World opened.’
Leo made a confused expression as he recalled meeting Risinass and Luna.
‘But those were my pages. This is clearly Arron’s page, no matter how you look at it.’
[Conquest Objective: Find Arron in Reishar.]
Then a message appeared before Leo and Ar.
“Conquest objective? Then this isn’t a Hero Dungeon?”
Ar said in a bright voice.
Hero Dungeons don’t have conquest objectives.
The appearance of a conquest objective meant, as Ar said, that this wasn’t a Hero Dungeon due to rampage.
“If it’s a properly opened world, why can’t we contact the outside?”
“Well, I wonder?”
Ar couldn’t provide a clear answer to that question either.
“Maybe it’s because it opened suddenly? To control a Heroes’ World, you need the key required to open the world, and they probably couldn’t find that key.”
“A key.”
Leo narrowed his eyes.
“Anyway, if the conquest objective is to find Lord Arron, it seems like we can finish this more simply than expected?”
At Ar’s words, Leo let out a deep sigh.
“Do you think finding Arron in this Reishar will really be easy?”
Reishar.
A refugee city that existed during the Age of Calamity.
Having accommodated numerous races, the city’s scale was beyond imagination.
“Lord Arron is famous, so it shouldn’t be too hard, right?”
“Arron gained fame after joining the Erebos Expedition and leaving Reishar.”
“That’s true, but he’s still Lord Arron, right? The literature records that he was tremendously famous even before joining the expedition. Risinass and Luna also came to Reishar after hearing of Lord Arron’s fame.”
‘Well, people of this era would think that way.’
Recorded history and actual history are different.
The Arron of this period wasn’t famous at all.
But only Leo, who had lived through this era, knew that fact.
‘For conquering the Heroes’ World, I have no choice but to rely on old records for now.’
Leo scratched his head vigorously and sighed.
‘From Ar’s perspective, even if I ramble about knowing this era, it wouldn’t be very believable. It would be easier to accept through direct experience.’
“Let’s split up and gather information about Lord Arron!”
“This is a Heroes’ World. We can’t carelessly split up.”
“Oh! Right! Then let’s search together!”
At the thought of being able to meet the Arron she admired directly, Ar enthusiastically began inquiring.
“Hello! Do you happen to know someone called Lord Arron?”
“Arron? Who’s that? Don’t bother me and get lost!”
“Excuse me. We’re looking for someone called Lord Arron?”
“How would I know some guy I’ve never heard of?”
“There, beastman! You’ve heard the name Arron, right?”
“Not at all.”
They spent the entire day asking people about Arron.
And as the sun was setting.
“Why doesn’t anyone know about Lord Arron! Wasn’t Lord Arron already famous before joining the Erebos Expedition!?”
Looking at Ar crying out “Uwah!”, Leo crossed his arms and said.
“Actual history and recorded history seem to be different.”
“Ugh!”
Ar flinched at Leo’s answer.
Meanwhile, Leo organized the information gathered during their inquiries in his head.
‘The current era is year 1462 of the Altegra calendar.’
It was 20 years after the Age of Calamity had begun.
‘If it’s this time, I don’t have to search for Arron from complete scratch.’
“Let’s find a place to rest first.”
“Would there be a decent place to rest in a city like this?”
Ar said with a worried face.
There was one thing they had realized after walking through Reishar’s streets for a day.
The era they had lived in and the Age of Calamity were fundamentally different.
People were basically unfriendly and rough, and fights broke out everywhere as commonly as eating meals.
It wasn’t simply a matter of good or bad public safety.
Everyone was gripped by the primal fear that the world might end.
Literally, the world they lived in was different.
“We need to find a decent place. Sleeping on the streets is dangerous.”
“Then let’s find an inn.”
‘An inn won’t work though.’
Leo smiled bitterly.
In the past, even Kail had suffered considerably due to lodging when he came to Reishar.
‘There wasn’t a single proper inn.’
Being the world’s largest refugee city, countless people had flocked to Reishar.
Among them were vicious bastards who committed crimes as naturally as breathing.
Of course, such criminals didn’t operate during the day.
This was because those who protected this city worked desperately to maintain order with burning eyes.
But night was different.
The moment the sun set, the streets were dyed with fear.
Crimes occurred in every alley, and in areas with poor security, even murders happened frequently.
Kail’s group, who had wandered around this city in the past, barely managed to find a safe place after a month.
‘I need to go there.’
Moreover, that place wasn’t simply a safe location.
“Let’s try over there.”
Ar pointed to an inn nearby.
Leo followed behind Ar.
Clang- Clang-
When the door opened, the first floor was packed with customers.
In an instant, their gazes fixed on Ar.
Ar, who had been tense, spotted the owner sitting at the counter and let out a sigh of relief.
Though his face was covered with scars, the owner was an elf.
Seeing this, Ar felt slightly relieved.
Elves had strong pride but were fundamentally a good race.
She thought he wouldn’t do anything improper.
“Excuse me, do you have a room available for tonight?”
“No. There are no rooms left today. Well, if my room would be fine.”
Ar was flustered seeing the owner smile lecherously.
She never thought an elf would throw such blatant advances.
Seeing Ar’s face turn cold, Leo grabbed Ar’s hand and left the inn.
“It seems it won’t be easy to find a decent place.”
“Right.”
Ar’s face darkened.
‘The common sense of our era and this era are completely different.’
After that, Leo and Ar wandered around looking for a place to sleep.
But there was nowhere that looked safe.
‘Will we really be able to find a place to stay?’
Ar followed behind Leo with a dark expression.
Meanwhile, Leo pretended to wander while guiding Ar to the place he knew.
‘We’re almost there.’
Leo stopped walking.
Ar, who had been lost in thought, paused seeing Leo like that, then looked around in confusion.
‘When did we come to a place like this?’
The place Leo had arrived at was the middle of a gloomy street where no signs of people could be felt.
Whoosh-!
Then the sound of something cutting through the wind was heard.
Ar, who felt killing intent right beside her, opened her eyes sharply and swung her fist.
Grab-!
But Ar’s attack was easily blocked by her opponent.
Even though her attack was blocked, Ar didn’t panic and extended her claws, infusing them with aura.
Seeing this, Leo urgently shouted.
“Wait, Ar! Don’t fight!”
But it was already too late to stop the fight as sparks had properly flown.
Thunk-!
Ar’s sharp claws infused with aura struck her opponent’s chest.
But Ar’s attack didn’t work. It was blocked by the opponent’s aura armor.
Gritting her teeth, Ar urgently tried to shake off her opponent’s hand.
But he was faster in grabbing Ar’s nape first.
“Guk?”
“Who are you bastards? Why did you intrude into this place?”
Gritting her teeth, Ar raised her aura for a counterattack.
Seeing such Ar, the cat beastman frowned and slammed Ar into the ground.
“Kueok?”
Feeling her consciousness becoming hazy, Ar spoke with difficulty just before losing consciousness.
“Black rabbit, you at least run away…!”
Leaving the unconscious Ar alone, he looked at Leo with murderous eyes.
“Why did you enter this district?”
“I came because I was told to come here.”
“By whom? This is a restricted area.”
That was true.
This place was called the Cursed Land and was an abandoned place.
To calm his opponent, Leo took a deep breath, raised both hands, and spoke seriously.
“Coward Arron sent us here.”
