Leaving the Village for the Campsite

After successfully slipping out of the Inn without being discovered, we walked towards the edge of the Village.

We had already gathered information anyway. Now, it was time to head back slowly to the Campsite where the Extermination Squad was gathered. Since there was a Priest there, he might be able to lift the Mind Control that Hanbyeol Shin might have fallen under. I also had the “mirror” they used tucked away. What kind of Magic was cast on it that they were so eager to show it to everyone, like a Hypnosis App? I had many questions.

However, my plan was soon thwarted. That was because numerous Villagers were already positioned near the Boundary Wall.

*Aren't those guys tired?*

Meanwhile, I, who had inadvertently stayed up all night, felt my eyelids heavy. They were even reasonably Armed. Everyone wore light Leather Armor and carried either a spear or a shield. Just by looking at that, I could be sure that the entire Village was in on it.

I muttered, looking at the Villagers surrounding the Boundary Wall.

“Hmm... we'll have to get through them, won't we?”

Of course, it wasn't impossible to get through. Just a little bothersome.

As I'd confirmed earlier, the Villagers' strength was not ordinary.

Perhaps because the Demon Sitri had imbued them with demonic energy, they seemed capable of holding their own against even a seasoned Frontline Adventurer...
