"They won't co," the outsider leader said with confidence in her voice. She was a woman with long black hair that almost reached the floor. Her hair seed to have a life of its own, twisting as if alive.
"What?" one of the outsiders was surprised to hear the leader's words.
"They're dead," the woman replied calmly, silencing all the outsiders present in the room.
Besides the leader, there were five other won in the room. Each of them was magnificent, with their own unique features. Their outfits were quite revealing, but none of them were embarrassed by it. On the body of each of them were mysterious inscriptions that seed to float on their body.
Among the six won in the room, their leader had the most inscriptions and another one, who had a little less, but still more than the other four.
If Idan were here, he would be staring at these two in horror. The inscriptions on their bodies were much more nurous than the three outsiders he had personally killed. Judging the strength of the outsiders by the number of inscriptions, those three were comparable to the other four won in the room.
"How are things going with the portal?" the Leader asked her closest woman, who had the most inscriptions after her.
"Almost everything is ready," she replied. "If those three are dead, then our plan to destroy the city and cover our tracks has failed?"
"Yes," the Leader briefly confird.
Hearing this, all the won who used to smile all the ti lost the smile on their faces.
"Activate the portal and send all the 'goods' to the other side, and then evacuate," the Leader ordered. "As for the village, destroy it without leaving any traces."
"Heh," one of the won grinned, happily accepting this order. Four of them, leaving the two strongest, went out to carry out the order.
"Do you think this is 'his' handiwork?" the second most powerful woman asked the leader, a little uncertainly, when they were alone. She couldn't believe that in this world that hadn't reached the middle stage of growth yet, there were beings capable of defeating them. Even with the restrictions, they occupied the top of the food chain of this world.
"Maybe, but maybe not," even their leader wasn't sure who exactly was behind it, but she didn't rule out the possibility. "Their deaths were instantaneous, and before they died, each of them was exposed to the elent of light."
"Do you think this is 'their' handiwork?" After hearing that those three had been exposed to the light elent before their deaths, the second most powerful woman began to suspect specific creatures, and her face beca much more serious than before.
"No one knows who "he" is or why "he" gave "us" the coordinates of this world," the leader replied. "It is also possible that "he" could have shared the coordinates of this world with "them" with the sa success."
The second woman was convinced that the Leader was right. The creature that brought them to this world could share coordinates with "these" creatures.
"It's a pity that we're leaving this city. Rumbus was the perfect place to hunt for the so—called Awakened of this world," the woman said regretfully, and the Leader nodded in agreent with her.
"This being is looking for sothing in this city. Otherwise, "he" wouldn't have turned a blind eye to the fact that we kidnapped the heiress of the Orleans family and one of the heroes of the Federation. It seems that what "he" is looking for is more important than these two," the Leader expressed her opinion. "Because before, "he" forbade us to touch these two."
"But what exactly?" the woman asked the Leader. "Maybe the murderer of his servant?"
"Maybe," the Leader replied.
It was all just their guesses. That being was too mysterious. None of their race had t him personally, only his pawns, the so-called Apostles, and his Servants.
Even these two powerful beings, whose power was limited by the limits of the world, did not notice that they were being closely watched and eavesdropped on by a little fox in the void.
After listening to everything that was necessary, Coco quickly left the place and moved to where the prisoners were being held.
After hearing that the portal to another world would be opened soon and all the so-called "goods" would be moved, Coco began to hurry. Although she was a small and simple fox at first glance, she was not stupid. She knew that among these "goods" was her mistress' younger brother.
In order not to upset the Mistress and help her, Coco no longer thought that she was doing this task just for the sake of ten candies. She was doing this for her Mistress.
Coco quickly examined all the prisoners and, finding her Mistress's brother, Arslan, took out a cara and took several pictures. After confirming that he was okay, she was about to continue her investigation when she suddenly noticed sothing unusual in the corner of the room.
Squinting and coming closer, she saw two pairs of small eyes of a strange little creature that was intently watching one of the captives. Carefully following the direction of those eyes, Coco realized who they were following.
It wasn't until she looked more closely that she found out who those eyes belonged to.
Coco was amazed that a creature tad by its Master and known as Ned could possess such skill in disguise.
To make sure if this was really a creature nad Ned, who had been tad by her Master, Coco focused on her bond with her Master and Mistress. Soon, she felt a faint but still connection with this little creature. Coco made sure it was him, and a smile appeared on her face. She successfully fulfilled one of the requests of the Mistress and found the one she was looking for.
Ned, in turn, tirelessly watched Arslan, fulfilling the instructions of his master. He did not close his eyes, staying awake, and all this ti he was waiting for his Master's arrival, despite the fact that their connection was limited by a strange artifact in the center of the village.
Ned, who was tirelessly watching Arslan, was scared for the first ti in his life when suddenly the joyful little face of the cursed fox cub looked out of the void in front of his eyes.

In the center of the village, not far from the buildings where the prisoners were being held, space began to distort and tear apart. In a matter of seconds, under the strange chants of many won, led by four won who had recently communicated with the leader, a huge portal leading to another world opened.
The space around the portal began to change and expand, encompassing the entire village and its surroundings. All the creatures near the village, sensing these changes, began to run away in fear.
"The portal is open," Arabel said softly, feeling the pressure and anxiety. She recently received word from the System that Idan was on his way and was heading towards her. But Arabel knew it would take ti for Idan to get here, and they didn't have that ti anymore.
The portal has been opened, and soon her brother and the rest of the awakened ones will be transported to another world.
Arabel already knew everything she needed to know thanks to Coco. Therefore, she wasn't too surprised by the portal's imminent opening. However, she did not expect that the space around the portal would change and radiate such pressure.
Arabel began to worry and prayed in her heart that Idan would co as soon as possible. With the help of her senses, she realized that the restrictions of their world had been loosened around the portal.
This ant that in this place, outsiders were no longer limited to just the Golden Rank.
