A VIP as Soon as You Log In

A red sun floated above thegate.

"Wasn't it supposed to be a blue sun?"

"I figured you would pick that up."

Next to Kang Shin-hyuk, Lee Na-hee spoke softly and tilted her head.

"Isn't there a hidden clear condition?

At least, it hasn't been found sofar."

With a wave of her hand, she pulled out a few drones from her subspace bracelet (it seemed that she had succeeded in making it herself) and floated them into the air. The drones spread out in all directions to find out the hidden clear conditions for the gate.

Kang Shin-hyuk was also interested in finding it out himself, but that wasn't their purpose in entering the gate, so he decided to refrain from doing so.

"It's hot."

"It gets very cold at night, enough so that it can damageyou."

"So, that's the environmental damage."

"No."

At that, Eleanor pointed at the ground.

From the moment they entered the gate, they were standing atop golden sands, but even if they remained still, their feet went completely inside the dunes.

The problem was the beating of life weakly vibrating through it.

"This isn't…"

"Hold thecenter."

In the middle of the desert, a huge swamp of sand emerged to begin to suck in theparty.

"What?!"

"Is this the hidden clear condition?"

"Don't be stupid and resistproperly!"

Kang Shin-hyuk wrapped himself in the energy of the Golden Dragon and struck the ground.

As a bonus, he carried out Lee Na-hee, who seemed like she might be able to get out by herself.

"Ah."

"Don't pretend to becute."

Anyway, the S-rank didn't seem to be helpful for training by itself, so it would be okay for him to take responsibility for Lee Na-hee to help in his training.

"Huh?"

He jumped up and touched the air in the sky, but it felt like something was tightening around him from all sides.

He used his spiritual power in his sword as his intuition told him to. Something was beaten back and fell down to his eyes. It looked like grains of sand.

'…Am I going crazy? What is it?'

He clearly recognized the power contained within the grains of sand. It was comparable to an attack from an S-rank monster. He could detect traces of weak magic in it, which meant it was no ordinary sand.

He used Wind Mastery to build temporary support in the air, stepping onto it so he could examine them closer, but then Eleanor cried out from below.

"The scorpions!"

Underneath him, scorpions had been mixed into the desert sand that was trying to drag them down. Their level wasn't that high, but they were difficult to deal with in addition to the sand spinning crazily around them.

Eleanor was fending them off with her spear while Baek was riding the current and taking them out. Oh Hye-na, with Baek's help, was able to hold on.

"Then, I'll try to take care of it fromabove!"

"Take care ofNa-hee!"

Eleanor shouted valiantly, but he felt anxious at the prospect of leaving her be.

It seemed too difficult to completely stop the scorpions as they were.

"I'll help!"

"Kh."

"By the way, our Ellie is very jealous."

Although Lee Na-hee was being treated as a burden, she was laughing like she felt good. Kang Shin-hyuk briefly thought of throwing her away for being so ridiculous, but instead just pulled her up into a more comfortable position tocarry.
