"It was already gone from the moment you killed that drake over there," Johannes spoke with a shrug.

Hearing Johannes' words, Hyeonu thought about the situation carefully. Come to think of it, there had been something strange.

'He didn't give permission to move to the East Continent.'

Originally, the order was for them to destroy the monument and then be given permission to cross when he appeared. However, it wasn't like that today. Johannes never said it.

'It's fast, but... I expected it.'

Hyeonu showed no surprise behind his mask; he was just happy. He hadn't expected it to take that long for an additional 250 people to move to the East Continent. It was just that it had occurred a bit quicker than Hyeonu had expected.

'I guess the pro gamers were in a hurry.'

The 250 people were probably professional gamers, with a portion of them being large guilds that made some type of deal or had a friendship with professional players.

"So everyone can go to the East Continent?" Hyeonu asked Johannes to confirm it again.

"Not everyone. Don't they need to have the skills to cross the Balder Mountains? Or they should have other things."

Johannes was probably talking about money or power, but Hyeonu already didn't care about such things.

'Is this the so called, 'out of sight, out of mind'?'

It didn't matter if someone spent money to go to the East Continent. Hyeonu had little interest in it. The important thing now was for Hyeonu to run to the emperor and inform him that the barrier had disappeared. This would allow Hyeonu to gain the sweetest honey.

It was precious honey that no one else could eat. He was thinking of swallowing it all at once at a time when no one else knew about it.

Hyeonu was on the way to see the emperor, but he stopped in a small garden in the imperial palace. The flowers were in full bloom, and the pond was so clear that it looked white. He sat down naturally on one side of the garden, treating it like it was a room in his own house.

'I'm going to look at the skill book.'

It was time for the rewards settlement. This was a time that always came after clearing an instance dungeon and killing the boss monster. Hyeonu carefully pulled out two books from his inventory and placed them down on the ground. Then he knelt down and started to pray: 'Please give me a necessary skill that is beyond the rare rating... In addition, let it be a continuous skill rather than an immediately-activated type. It is even better if it is unique-rated.'

After the short prayer that he didn't even know whom he was saying it to, Hyeonu reverently opened the first skill book.

"Ah...!" An exclamation burst from Hyeonu's mouth. It was with a feeling of sincerity that came from the depths of his heart.
