��Why is there dead mana flowing out through the sand?�
�What? Dead mana? I don�t feel it.�

Midnight had passed and it was a new day.
The dead mana smoke was slowly rising from the black sands in the desert. The White Star was the first to notice the small amounts that were rising to start.
However, he soon realized that the rising dead mana smoke was getting thicker. He thought that it would soon be at a level that others could notice it and a level that would be dangerous for normal people.
The White Star�s eyes soon clouded over and he licked his lips before mumbling to himself again.

�This could end up being very advantageous for me.�

It was at that moment.
On a sand hill far from the White Star�

Clack, clack.

A tiny skeleton monster made of black bones so that it was hard to distinguish from the black sand was observing the White Star.
The small skeleton monster that was the size of a rat was buried under the sand and not moving at all.
However, the black lights in the spots where the skeleton monster�s eyes should have been were transmitting what it was seeing to its master.

�The White Star has arrived. He ripped the entrance door open.�
�I see.�

Cale smiled at Mary�s report.

�It looks like the White Star will soon come down the passage to the underground trap.�

Cale looked around after hearing Mary�s calm report. Most of the group were scattered and only Raon, the Dragon half-blood, Cale, and Mary were together. It was at that moment.

�Young master-nim.�

Mary hesitated for a moment before starting to speak again.

��The White Star is smiling.�

* * *

As Mary mentioned, the White Star was smiling. The faint smile slowly became thicker until he started to laugh out loud as well.

�Ha, haha! How did I not know about this?!�

His eyes were sparkling.

Shhhh, shhhh.

He continued to grab the sand with his hand. The black sand fell through the cracks between his fingers as soon as he grabbed them, but the White Star did not care.

He lowered his body and took a breath. JrNovels.com
