If I used Position Exchange and the other traits effectively, and with a bit of luck, I might be able to shake off Peltz's pursuit.
However, the problem was what came next.
Would everything be resolved if I managed to evade the knights and escape the territory?
‘No way.’
I shook my head inwardly.
The original Adel was the same.
Didn’t he end up dying at the hands of the six descendants after wandering outside the territory?
Moreover, how can I, who was a modern person until recently, survive in the enemy’s base and build up my strength?
I had no confidence.
Confidence that I would survive…….
On the other hand.
‘The Demon World is much safer than the Human World.’
The war between the Demon World and the Six Families took place over a decade ago.
Since the Six Families were the victors, the Demon World suffered great damage.
That’s why the Demon World was even more dedicated to training their successors.
I remembered writing in the novel that their motive was either defense or revenge and that they were enthusiastic about securing their strength and personnel.
‘That’s no less than humans.’
It meant that if I showed enough talent, they would protect and guard me, regardless of whether I was half-Demon or not.
Because the Demon World is short of personnel that can be used in battle right now.
Of course, that’s only if I hide the tattoo engraved on the back of my neck well.
If the mark of the Arsene Family is discovered, it will be my end that day.
After all, there was no family that was as active as the Arsene Family in the Human-Demon War.
The Arsene Family, who killed countless Demons, is a public enemy in the Demon World, a fact that even a three-year-old child knows.
However,
‘I don’t think I have to worry about being discovered.’
I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head.
Anyway, the situation in the Demon World is better than here. That’s the first reason I’m going to the Demon World.
Another reason is the geographical features of the Arsene Forest.
In order to go from the Human World to the Demon World, you have to open a gate.
However, in order to meet the conditions for opening the gate, astronomical amounts of magic stones and mana were required.
Even if they consumed that much mana to open it, the Six Families did not have the power to manage the Demon World, which was similar in size to the Human World.
Even most of the humans who could open the gate to the Demon World were dead.
As the novel progresses, the gate will open, but that will be later.
There were hardly any existing gates.
Most of the ones that do exist are mostly one-time Gates.
That's why humans failed to conquer the Demon Realm.
In other words, it's a kind of ceasefire.
The war is still not over.
'If I use this, I might be able to make the assassination group that Adel founded even stronger.'
Most Demons are hostile towards humans.
Some of the young Demons I remember had very high potential.
Of course, they were no match for the descendants of the Six Families…….
But they would still be stronger than those Adel had recruited.
If I show outstanding talent, there will be many who will help me.
So I thought that I had to go to the Demon Realm in order to live the rest of my life and fulfill my dream.
*Thump-*
While I was organizing my thoughts, the intense aura that Peltz shot out hit my back, and I tensed up, my shoulders hunched.
"I don't know what you're up to, but... you won't be able to escape from me."
Peltz infused his sword with mana.
A bluish sword aura, imbued with a sharp energy, shot towards me.
"Designation."
It's too late to see and dodge.
Without even giving a glance to Peltz's sword that was coming at me, I used Position Exchange to run away.
"Move."
The sword that was shot out cut through the air.
My new body moved to another tree, and I could see Peltz clicking his tongue below.
I exhaled deeply.
"Whew, whew."
Not much mana left.
If I use Position Exchange three more times, I'll hit rock bottom.
I have to find the Gate to the Demon Realm before that.
- Arsene Forest. The Gate to the Demon Realm is there.
I hurriedly moved my steps and recalled the contents of the original work.
From what I can tell, this seems to be the center.
The Gate was nowhere to be seen.
'Where the hell is it?'
I racked my brain.
I had to find the Gate quickly.
One, no matter how much I turned my head to look around, the Gate did not come into my sight.
'I'm going to die like this.'
Frustration and despair crept onto my face.
I was still in the middle of finding the Gate, but the distance between me and Peltz was closing.
If I can't distance myself with my own power.
I have no choice but to rely on my Trait.
“……!”
I looked back and shot killing intent at him.
*Flinch.*
Thanks to my killing intent, Peltz hesitated for a moment.
A very small gap was created.
I didn’t miss that gap.
The tree with the most abundant leaves. I activated Position Exchange and the arrows, teleporting there.
And I took out the paper and fountain pen from my arms and wrote.
‘Damn it.’
I thought I would find the gate right away.
The fact that the original didn’t describe it in detail worked against me.
I could roughly guess the location of the gate, but I couldn’t know the exact location.
As I mentioned before, I had written that the path to the Demon World was in the Arsene Forest.
I did write that...
But what author would provide a meticulous explanation of the location?
They would just end it with something like, 'The gate to the Demon World is located here.'
'Am I cornered?'
While scratching my head with the paper and fountain pen in my hand.
Danger.
Alarm bells rang in my head.
“You little rat!”
“Designate, Move.”
I climbed up the tree that was at the end of the arrow.
The tree I was standing on until just now was cut into pieces by Peltz’s sword.
‘Is he really a monster?’
How did the original Adel deal with that?
Even though I created the character, he’s terrifying.
Slash.
The momentum of Peltz, who pulled out his sword from the cut tree, was like that of a beast and was directed at me.
Should I use that method…….
As I was lost in thought and didn’t take any action, Peltz slowly began to move his steps.
‘Damn it, damn it.’
Right away.
I moved the fountain pen on the paper.
I couldn’t delay even for a second, so I quickly wrote what I wanted.
I hadn’t used it because it was difficult, but since the situation was like this, I felt like I was grasping at straws.
- The exact location of the gate to the Demon World within the Arsene Forest.
Then the words I wrote were erased and letters began to be written.
Soon, a single sentence was completed.
