8 Gate [1]

"You know hiding is a waste of time, So why don't you come out from wherever you are hiding."

Isaac shouted in the deep forest of Ashen territory.

Isaac doesn't know the range of Adele [Location Exchange 'I'] but he knows that Adele couldn't go that far.

If Adele can do that he would already be miles away from Isaac.

"Do you have any place where you can hide yourself even if you escaped from me and got outside of this forest?"

'A place where I can hide myself? I know the place that I can hide.'

Demon Realm...

That's right my original goal is to go demon realm. That's the only way I can save myself from empire and 'The Six Big Family.'

Thinking so I took out a white paper and fountain paint from my pocket.

The cut I got from Isaac's sword on my left hand is still hurting but for now, I have to bear that pain.

Currently, I was hiding behind a tree after I used the location exchange.

If I use good use of location exchange and other characteristics of Adele and if I have enough luck, I will get away from Isaac.

...But the problem was what after that?

Would this solve all of my problems if I got away from Ashen territory?

The answer was...' No!'

After all original Adele was also able to away from the Knights of 'Six Big Family.'

What happened to him?

At the end of the story, He is killed by the main characters of 'Six Big Family.'

Then what about me? I, who is a normal person in the modern world until recently, have to survive in the conditions and have to grow stronger in enemy strongholds...

I was not confident.

Confidence to survive…

on the other side.

'The Demon World is much safer than the human world.'

A war between the Demon World and six families took place over ten years ago.

The victors were six families, so the demon world suffered great damage.

That's why the demon realm was putting more effort into fostering younger students.

I remembered that I wrote in a novel that the motives were for defence or revenge and that the demons were working hard to secure talent.

'That's no less than humans.'

It meant that as long as I showed enough talent, whether I was a half-demon or not, they would let me join and protect me.

Because there will be few people in the demon realm that can be used in battle right away.

But it will end the story of if they discovered the tattoo around my neck.

Why is that? Because I'm a descendant of the Ashen family and demons hold grudges against Ashen family more than other 'Six Big families.'

The reason is the war that took 15 years ago between humans and demons, Ashen family members were the ones who killed most of the demons.

But there is no need to worry, that's the reason I cover the tattoo around my neck with [Darkness] attributes of mine.

Anyway, It's a fact that I will be safer in the demon world than here, that's the main reason I'm going there.

To go to a demon world, I must have to open the gate that is connected to the demon world.

However, to meet the conditions for opening the gate, an astronomical amount of magic stones and mana were required.

Most of the humans who can even open the gates of the Demon World are dead.

The gate will open as the novel progresses, but that's for later.

Few gates exist.

Most of the things that were there were just one-time gates.

That's why humans failed to conquer the demon realm.

A truce, so to speak.

The war still isn't over.

'If I use this, I might be able to further solidify the assassination group that Adele founded.'

Most demons have animosity toward humans.

Among them, some of the young demons he remembered had very high potential.

Of course, it wasn't comparable to the descendants of the six families, but…

They are stronger than what Adele recruited.

-Slash!

-Thud!

"Found you!"

Isaac cut the tree in half, breaking my chain of thought.

I got a shiver round down my spine as I heard those words.

"Now, Die." Saying that Issac brought his sword above his head and slashed downward.

"Location."

Without even giving an eye to Isaac's sword approaching me, I exchanged positions and ran away.

"Exchange."

The shot sword cut through the air.

My new body was moved to another tree, and I could see Isaac clicking his tongue down there.

At this, I let out a heavy breath.

"Whoa, whoa."

Not much mana left.

Use three more location swaps and I'll don't have mana anymore.

Before that, I need to find the gate to the Demon World.

– Ashen Forest. There is a gate to the demon realm there.

I hurriedly moved my steps and recalled the contents of the original work.

Judging by the persimmon, this seems to be the centre.

The gate was nowhere to be seen.

'Where the hell is the gate?' I screamed inwardly as I searched for the gate.

I was turning my head in every direction but there was no gate in my field of vision.

"Wait you bastard," Isaac shouted as he was closing the distance between us.

I could only use two times [Location Exchange 'I'] and I don't want to use those times right away.

Let's use Adele's other trait.

Turning my head back toward Isaac I used the [Life] trait.

My eyes started to glow in blood-red colour and soon as my eyes met with Isaac he flinched and stopped.

Without missing a bit, I run. Unlike the servant, whose body I could control by [Life] trait, I could not do the same with Isaac.

He was way stronger than me...

At most, he will stop for 3 seconds.

It is not the best option but it will give me time to run and expand the distance between us.

In a few seconds, Isaac came back to his senses and started to run after Adele again...

In the meantime, Adele was standing up on top of the tree. From there he was searching for the gate.

"Found it," Adele exclaimed as he found the gate, However, the distance between them was large.

He has to use location exchange to get there fast.

-Slash!

"Whoa!"

As he was about to location exchange to teleport, Isaac cut down the tree where Adele was standing.

Adele quickly jumped on another tree in mid of the air.

The tree that had been standing up until now was shattered by Isaac's sword.

'Is he a r eal monster?'

How did the original Adele deal with that monster?

It's scary even though it's a character he had created.

Isaac, who pulled the sword from the cut, fired at me with the force of a beast.
