Chapter 549

“…”
Scout Kalom couldn’t utter a word. He just stared ahead, his face frozen in utter bewilderment. Seeing Kalom’s reaction, his superior officer Harol, who had been looking ahead with him, asked.
“Did we come to the wrong place?”
Harol, too, wore an expression of utter bewilderment, just like Calom.
“It was definitely here, wasn’t it?”
What should have been there was missing.
“Y-yes.”
“Then why isn’t it here?”
“It seems the experiment I mentioned went terribly wrong.”
Kalom was certain. That experiment the orcs had conducted—it had clearly gone wrong. Otherwise, there was no reason for the entire city to vanish.
“…So we have to go back like this?”
“I suppose so…”
Calom answered cautiously, reading Harol’s expression. The city no longer existed. There was no reason to stay here.

“I never thought we’d end up here.”
Myeong-hu frowned as he studied the map.
“All for a measly 2%…”
Myeong-hu’s current percentage was 98%. Meaning, he was 2% short. He tried searching nearby for monsters, but they seemed to have dried up completely and didn’t appear. Myeong-hu had no choice but to venture deeper.
“Ogres…”
Myeong-hu saw the city ahead. Ogres were roaming there.
“This brings back memories.”
He recalled the ogre city where he and Jiyeon had fought together, where he first met Soma.
Thud
Myeong-hu began walking toward the city to fill the remaining 2%.
