I couldn’t utter a single word.
The incoming wind passed by Elder Shin and blew toward me.
The plum blossom scent carried on the wind was fragrant, but for some reason, it was tinged with sorrow.
It felt empty. And chilly.
I quietly widened my eyes and just stared at Elder Shin.
I couldn’t say anything because I was trying to understand the words I had just heard.
‘The monsters that emerge from the Demon Gates…’
They are the beings from worlds that were annihilated when a new master appeared? My head was throbbing from this information I’d never heard or seen before.
When the master of a world disappears and a new master appears, the living beings of that world are annihilated.
That was the law of this world that I knew, and the information I had.
But, only up to that point. I thought that was all there was to it.
‘And this is connected to the Demon Gates?’
