The Live

Outside the castle was barren.

The Black Land did not give up a single grass, and the distant forest was dead.

The sunny sky and earth were so prepared.

Fur-Seok-

One of the trees touches your feet and falls to the ground.

I came a little farther from the castle, but all I could see was the miserable dead ground.

Is it the dead? ’

Yoon Jae looked around.

Max was detained when he said he was going out of the castle.

It's dangerous out there.

We don't know when the dead will show up again.

They appear day and night as the sky darkens and the sun goes down.

Nevertheless, Yoon Jae came out of the castle.

He thought he could do nothing just by sitting in the castle.

‘There's really nothing. ’

The cause of the dead.

Yoon Jae wanted to find it.

If we could figure out what caused it, we might be able to defend the castle perfectly from the dead.

‘The trees died as well as the bush. ’

Yoon Jae leaned over and touched the bush, which was drained of both moisture and life force.

Then you look back at the shoulder that was caught in the dead man's hands.

‘At that time……. ’

It wasn't a life-sucking force.

If it were to take away the life force of a living being, it would not have collapsed due to the corrosion of an iron gate.

Is it more like corrosive force? ’

We know roughly what the power of the dead looks like.

The question is, where does their power come from?

And that's why they're after the living, including Slot Castle.

“It can't be for no reason. ”

This is a step up in the tutorial.

But it was a world where living people lived.

I don't know why it was designated as my tutorial space, but there must be a reason the dead showed up.

And…….

“To know that, you have to see the dead first? ”

Defend Slot Castle.

It was straightforward, but it was never straightforward when we looked closely.

First of all, the scope of protection was too comprehensive.

From what?

Until when?

Above all, there was no clear scope of 'keep.’

There is no clear explanation as to what should be done to protect the castle.

At least ten days from now, the arrival of reinforcements should not have saved Castle Slot.

If that were the case, this tutorial would not have been set to S grade.

“I'd rather walk the labyrinth. ”

At least I didn't have a headache like this.

Yoon Jae moved on thinking that way.

The destination is the Forest of the Dead.

We might be able to figure out what caused the dead to show up here.

It may be dangerous, but I couldn't pass this tutorial without knowing the risks.

Yoon Jae sighed deeply and began to go deeper into the forest.

It was in the early evening before sunset that the dead returned.

* * *

Curr -

A cloud appeared in the sky above Slot Castle.

Suddenly the weather changed.

Lightning strikes beneath the clouds and the raindrops begin to fall.

“... That's not good. ”

Max mutters, looking up at the sky.

The sun is almost gone.

As the weather is weather, there will be more time for the dead to act.

If the days were not open, it was possible to show up all day.

Where did he go? ’

Max remembers Yun Jae who still hasn't come back.

Yoon Jae went out to check out the castle for a while and headed straight for the barren forest.

But I still haven't come back.

‘As expected... Did you run away? ’

Max didn't know who Yoon Jae was.

What I do know is that he is exceptionally skilled, unlike any other soldier.

Yoon Jae was a person who did more than a hundred shares.

However, no matter how strong he is, the opposing team is not human.

The number of the dead was endless, and above all, Yoon Jae was not a soldier at Slot Castle.

‘What did you expect. ’

They had already been helped once by Yoon Jae.

If it weren't for him, the Eastern Gate would have been breached and the dead would have entered the castle.

Then many deaths would have come the night before.

I had already received grace once, but I was greedy from wanting more help.

‘From now on, it is our turn. ’

You shouldn't ask for Yoon Jae's help.

Max looks down at the castle thinking that way.

After a while.

“Oh, here he comes! ”

“The dead, the dead! ”

A forest far from the castle.

A lot of dead people started walking out of there.

The number was unbelievable.

“It always creeps me out. ”

They've seen it a few times already, but the humidity I felt every time I saw it did not become an adaptation.

Tuk-

Tupperware, Tupperware -

Immediately, it started raining from the sky.

Thick raindrops were unusual.

Max looks up at the approaching dead from a distance.

“... It's going to pour out quite a bit. ”

It didn't seem to rain easily.

The time for the dead to be active will be longer.

‘I don't know if I can last five days, not ten. ’

Unlike the undead who keep appearing and dying, there was a limit to the strength of the soldiers.

Furthermore, the corroded gate no longer had durability.

I didn't know how much longer I could hold out.

“This place must be cramped. ”

Max mutters in a bold voice, then shouts.

“Trillions 1 through 3 defend the east gate! Trillions 4 and 5 defend the south, while Trillions 5 defend the east gate! The west gate is……. ”

Max gives you a busy order.

The soldiers make swift movements.

But they also knew.

Because of the weather, the time for the dead to appear will be long enough.

I had already felt that this fight would not be easy.

“They've breached Yili's radius! ”

“Archers, load your arrows! If they get any closer... ”

“Well, look at that! ”

At that time, a soldier at the highest point of the castle, looking into the company of the dead, cried out.

Max, who gave the order among the soldiers, asks.

“What's going on? ”

“Someone's fighting the dead! ”

“What, what? ”

In response, Max jumps over the wall in shock.

And underneath the castle, I looked down.

And…….

“The author…. ”

A man fighting among the undead.

I found Yoon Jae.
