After Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha rode the Hongryong and disappeared beyond the evil darkness, the summit of Mt. Halla.

They had nothing to do, but they did not rest.

Some students calculated where the volcano would be less affected if it erupted, or shared the water and food they had, while others actively considered escaping and joining up.

They tried to push away the evil darkness by using their long-range attack abilities to create wind or spray water from a distance.

It was all in vain.

“The only thing that was effective was light.”

“But this wouldn’t cut it. It would be hard to maintain light in that evil darkness.”

“I tried to maintain it by force, but the power consumption kept increasing. It seems that the evil darkness buries it more thoroughly when it detects a light source.”

When using a skill with a light source effect, the darkness somewhat subsided.

However, it was quickly consumed by the energy of the evil darkness.

There was an opinion that it would be difficult to hold out until the descent even if the 200 or so Silver Advertisement people poured all their power and stamina into maintaining the light source.

“Since there is a concept of ‘being evil,’ the purification skill will work. But this won’t be enough to pierce through the evil darkness.”

“Can’t we just use all our strength to purify it? There are a few more people among us who can use the purification skill.”

“We can’t do it. Even the beings of the Gaecheon myth couldn’t do it. Can we improve the air quality of the Korean Peninsula by putting out a few air purifiers?”

The Silver Advertisement people continued to try, even though they thought it was almost meaningless.

As the 200 or so people pooled their wisdom, more and more ideas emerged.

Meanwhile, a student using the Insight skill made a big discovery.

“It seems that the evil darkness doesn’t affect the land! The land is barely polluted.”

“That’s right. If the evil darkness had affected the land, the land would have died and perished during the Gaecheon myth.”

“Why is the land okay? Is it because of the earth?”

After several people took turns using their skills and checking, it was confirmed that the evil darkness really did not have much effect on the land.

Many students were curious about the reason, but they didn’t have time to dig too deep right now.

The students who were looking for an escape route said.

“Then, can’t we escape by digging a tunnel underground?”

“It’ll be okay even if our vision is blocked. There are many people who are using the Insight skill. The evil darkness will block our vision, but we can just dig until we can see.”

There were many students here who were strong enough to have chosen the most difficult course on Mt. Halla.

It would be difficult to make a long tunnel, but it seemed easier than avoiding the evil darkness.

The two of them had left various item cards before leaving, so they had quite a few equipment items.

However, the teacher nicknamed the 0th class reader, who was currently the temporary head of this place, objected.

“No. It’s not just the dark darkness that threatens our safety right now. The ground is unstable and the geothermal heat is rising in anticipation of a volcanic eruption. If pyroclastic flows cover the ground and toxic gases spread underground, we’ll all be wiped out.”

A lot of the students thought it was a good idea, but they had no choice but to agree.

They believed that Yeom Jun-yeol would succeed in stopping the volcanic eruption, but it was true that Mt. Halla was currently unstable.

Also, if he were to use his supernatural powers while digging a tunnel and stimulate the veins, and the volcano were to erupt, # Nоvеlight # everything would be meaningless.

Meanwhile, Ma Jin-seung couldn’t say much during the strategy meeting, and could only say, “I see!” and “That’s right!”

Good ideas were first thought of by others, and then rejected by others.

Ma Jin-seung thought about it as best he could, but sometimes things don’t work out no matter how hard he tries.

Drumroll, drumroll. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

At that moment, rain began to fall from the sky covered with volcanic ash clouds.

The students took out their raincoats or umbrellas to avoid the rain, but Ma Jin-seung didn’t.

Ma Jin-seung stared at the sky where raindrops were pouring down.

It was raining even in the replay.

‘That’s right, it rained back then too. Are Dong-ha and Jun-yeol getting rained on right now?’

Ma Jin-seung called out to the meadow at that time, thinking, ‘I’ll protect them from the rain!’

The two of them were not in front of him now, and the students of Eun-gwang High School here were not as affected as Yeom Jun-yeol even if they got rained on.

Nevertheless, he felt anxious.

Among the students, the number of students who suddenly became anxious increased.

“Isn’t Jun-yeol after someone? How can it rain at this timing?”

It was probably something he said without much thought, but it was persuasive given the circumstances.

As the raindrops got heavier, the students became more anxious.

Meeeee... ... .

The mountain goat, which was sheltering from the rain at the end of the tent the students had made a makeshift, cried as if it had realized the seriousness of the situation.

The Eun-gwang-go people found the mountain goat strange, but since Cheon Dong-ha had noticed its existence a long time ago and had left it alone, they thought it would be okay.

In the midst of the confusion, Ma Jin-seung desperately chewed over what the Eun-gwang-go people, who were smarter than him, had said.

Light is effective, but it is difficult to maintain in the darkness.

The purification skill works, but it is impossible to purify the entire evil darkness.

The evil darkness has little effect on the ground, but the ground is unstable, so it is impossible to dig a tunnel.

‘And it is raining now.’

Ma Jin-seung thought back to that day.

In the ninety-nine goals in the replay, Ma Jin-seung created a huge grass maze to protect Yeom Jun-yeol from excellent assassins and rain.

It would have been impossible to construct the structure of the maze without Cheon Dong-ha's help, but it was possible to create a simple, large tunnel in a straight line.

Ma Jin-seung came to a simple conclusion by synthesizing the events of that day and the clues he heard here.

Block the darkness that tries to erase the light, maintain the purification skill inside if outside doesn't work, and create a tunnel above ground if underground doesn't work.

It was raining and the area had extremely strong intellect, so it was a good time to use Ma Jin-seung's 'Cry to Call the Grassland'.

"Guys! Let's go down!"

"What?"

Ma Jin-seung took action right away after making his conclusion.

Ma Jin-seung ran through the rain.

The 0th class reading teacher quickly tried to stop Ma Jin-seung, and the students who were quick to move also ran together to stop Ma Jin-seung's rampage.

Ma Jinseung was caught in the evil darkness, but he carried out what he was going to do.

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

The silver-clad men who were holding Ma Jinseung’s limbs one by one frowned when they heard a loud noise nearby.

However, their expressions soon changed to shock and surprise.

The evil darkness could not penetrate the ground, so there was no evil darkness in the wall of grass that rose from the ground.

The evil darkness tried to encroach on the newly rising meadow, so the surface of the grass quickly withered and rotted away.

However, Ma Jinseung’s shout did not stop, so a new wall of grass rose again.

The 0th class reader teacher hesitated and took a step into the meadow passage.

The evil darkness could be felt wriggling outside, but it had no effect.

Inside, the smell of grass soaked in rain filled the air.

“Hurry! Let’s go! Guys! Teacher!”

As Ma Jin-seung urged them on, the students lined up as if they had been waiting.

The students who had been testing out their skills took their places, recalling the abilities that had been effective.

“Jin-seung keeps calling, but the grass keeps withering. Just in case, those who use purification skills should go in the front and back!”

“There’s light coming from that grass. But it would be good to have more light sources inside. Let’s go while using items or skills.”

“I’ll use my Insight skill. I can’t see ahead because of the evil darkness, but when I start to see something, I think I’ve reached an area where there’s no evil darkness.”

The Eun-gwang students decided to move without hesitation.

If something had isolated the Eun-gwang people because it was targeting Yeom Jun-yeol, they knew that they were no different from hostages right now.

If the evil darkness was rising, the signs of a volcanic eruption were visible, and the rain was all caused by someone, then now was the time to take a chance.

Of course, the place they reached after breaking through the evil darkness would be dangerous, but the summit was also dangerous, and they didn’t want to wait around like hostages, unable to do anything.

“Hey, Ma Jin-seung. If your throat hurts, tell me right away! You shouldn’t bluff, we’ll all really die.”

“Are you cheering me on right now?”

“I tried a few supernatural abilities on that grass, and the auxiliary skills worked. You can buy some time by resting and shouting.”

As the evil darkness continued to swallow up the entire meadow, Ma Jin-seung’s strong voice lost some of its strength, but his momentum never died down.

The mountain goat that followed the Eun Gwang-go people hovered around Ma Jin-seung, perhaps worried about him, but when the Eun Gwang-go people separated him from Ma Jin-seung in case he was bothering him, the mountain goat openly expressed his discontent.

The goat seemed like it would be of no help, but it helped at a crucial moment.

Suddenly, the goat ran to one side of the wall of grass and started rubbing its horns.

A student who saw this shouted while using an insight skill in that direction.

“I can see it! That direction has a low density of evil darkness!”

“I can see it too!”

“What? I want to use an insight skill too.”

“Use your power sparingly.”

At those words, the silver-lighters all used their skills.

They were still on Mt. Halla and it was raining, but they succeeded in breaking through the evil darkness that they thought they would not be able to escape on their own.

Then, the students sensed a strong power.

It was Hongryong, Yeom Junyeol’s.

Aaaaaaaaaa!

Ma Jinseung’s shout grew louder as he sensed Yeom Junyeol’s power.

The grassland called by Ma Jin-seung spread out towards Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha.

Even though it was raining, and even though it would burn if it touched the flames wrapped around Hong-ryong, Ma Jin-seung did not stop.

“We’re here. Open it!”

“Jun-yeol is next to Dong-ha. And it seems like he’s facing off against someone, so prepare for battle right away.”

“Students who used up their powers while moving, go back. Students who are good at close-range attacks, go forward!”

The tunnel of grass that had protected the Eun-gwang-go people from the evil darkness scattered with a ‘pass’.

Only one layer of the wall disappeared, but the Eun-gwang-go people flinched in a moment, feeling a sense of oppression.

In front of him, Hongryong’s appearance was very unfamiliar.

Right now, Yeom Junyeol was closer to a dragon than a human.

When he saw the silver dragons appearing from beyond the wall of grass, his expression softened and he barely recognized them as Yeom Junyeol, but he couldn’t easily open his mouth because he felt like he would be crushed by the pressure and intense power.

However, Ma Jinseung was different.

“Guys, we’re here!”

If he had shouted that much, his throat would have been hoarse, but Ma Jinseung’s voice was filled with joy and relief.

Seeing Ma Jinseung’s attitude as if he had just met a friend, the tension of the other silver dragons eased.

Yeom Junyeol also greeted them as warmly as Ma Jinseung.

“Come on in. I was worried.”

However, the sparks and overflowing power surrounding Yeom Junyeol were still there.

Yeom Junyeol knew that it was not yet time to rejoice in his reunion with his friend.

Yeom Jun-yeol said, turning his gaze to the enemies who were trembling as if their souls had left them.

“Let’s fight together now.”
