“Wow, how did you do that? ”

Stupidly lowers the extending spear. Daisy's eyes widen in amazement as she looks over the cliff at the harpy, and at the soil splattering in her body. To be honest, Daisy didn't see Azin's movements. She looks at the Harpy, and she's after the Harpy. I waited for the timing, thinking that I would definitely fit in. You can hit it, but killing it will hurt you a little too much. The target was a whirling harpy chest, and Daisy did her best. You reach for the window at the fastest speed you can reach.

‘He was faster than me. ’

Daisy thought as she touched the pole. Standing in his place, throwing out his spear, leaping from behind. Which one of you is faster?

Maybe he was just getting ready.

Probably watching the timing while waiting for the same attack. But even thinking that, Agin was faster than Daisy's spear. The timing and speed he was aiming for was ahead of Daisy. Daisy was appalled by it. Before killing Valkun, Azin was able to identify him by killing ranker thunderstorms and survivors. But the battle was too good for him. Even though the wind had the perfect hydrophobic dominance, they were too exhausted and physically deficient.

So much for a one-on-one thunderstorm. That's how much daisy predicted azine to do. Despite their pointless deaths, the storm is the 16th ranker. The 16th strongest user in the 1500s. It is quite generous for the underlying user. But Daisy revised the idea. She saw the storm fight with her own eyes. Buff magic was added, and he was wielding his sword against Valkun. It was fast, but not blind.

But he didn't even look right.

“.. let's go. ”

Azin glances at the group who isn't shocked. The gulp swallows the sewer, raising its shield and coming forward again. The advance has remained the same, and Azin stands at the rear and checks his previous movements.

‘My mind can't keep up with my body. ’

The landing is a mess. The brain commands, and the body follows. Usually there are no errors in it. Reach out, reach out and grab things. Swing your fist. Anyone with no brain impairment can do it. But the current episode is out of the ordinary. The moment the thought is ordered, the body moves irreversibly. This is because there is no delay in the speed at which orders are issued and delivered to the flesh.

Ideas are faster than anything, and the movement of azine in an accelerated world has the same speed as thought. The problem is adaptation to it. When a ball comes out of nowhere, ordinary people can't avoid it. Because the ball is too sudden and fast. But now Azin can avoid it. The body that captures the ball's movements and responds to the accelerated thought and commands immediately will cause the ball to be caught beyond evasion.

However, the problem is also adaptation. The mind adapting to the previous slow world and slow movements cannot fully adapt to sudden fall. Although the body can move perfectly, it is painfully controlling the mind.

‘As soon as I fell, I didn't think I'd land. ’

So he rolls around. His orders were to kick the Harpies off the road. I stopped. At that moment, I did not turn around and stand on the ground with my feet or spread fallout... or connect my thoughts about it. My mind couldn't adapt to my body. If you are able to move your body more quickly than anything else, you need to think and command more quickly than anything else.

‘I have to keep trying. ’

Azin's eyes narrowed.

The group reaches the end of the road without a single casualty, although a few more Harpies have raided. Azin was in charge of disposing of the Harpies. He hurls back at the Harpy's movements just like before, taking care of the Harpies and getting down on the ground. Throughout the repetition, he rolled the ground, but in the end, he was able to spread a somewhat plausible fallout. To be precise, I almost lost my mind fighting the Harpies in the air.

‘It's hard to keep up with the acceleration of the accident. ’

Focus. Accelerating thinking in a fully expanded mind. A world in which everything around it moves quickly is perceived slowly, and in which only its thoughts and commands are accelerated. It made the mind too tired. I'm not used to it.

‘It can only last 10 seconds. ’

When the acceleration stops, the thought hardens momentarily. Landing is hard thanks to you. Ajin kicks his tongue small.

“.. this is the cliff of the seal. ”

Perch. The feet of the Howl tread the parched ground. As the narrow path ends, a vast plain unfolds. Azin glances down at the bottom of the ridge. The raging forest became a green sea that lay beneath.

“The problem is after this. ”

Daisy's eyes frown. We made it up the path to the top of the cliff, but we haven't reached the blue volcano yet. Azin looks around. This is not the summit of the cliff. High-rise cliffs now encircle their space. A land surrounded by cliffs. On the way to the blue volcano is a tall, dense forest of trees.

"The Forest of Thorns," they say. ”

Daisy mutters. She fixes the spear and quickly turns her gaze up. The surrounding cliff is the realm of flying monsters. Harpies are the most common, but even more powerful monsters appear. They prey on prey that traverse the earth in order to reach the volcano. The situation doesn't get better if you go into that ugly tree's niche basket.

“Let's... move on. ”

Daisy mutters as she swallows a gulp. The sewer leads again. The progress itself remained unchanged, but I was more nervous than when I climbed up the path. You no longer have to worry about falling off a cliff. However, monsters may appear from nearby cliffs at any time.

[Kihyology!]

Then came the Harpies. Creepy cries, a woman's voice, but a huge, splitting groan. Azin clenches his fist and looks up. Five Harpies are falling from a nearby cliff.

[This is Harpy territory.]

You hear the sound of Raw Snow.

[They must have been the first to come. Even if we defeat them, the other Harpies will attack again. The numbers will grow, and the attack won't stop until the group of them is destroyed.]

The voice of Raw Snow contained a shivering smile. Apparently, she enjoyed watching the situation. Oh, he has a bad temper. Ajin kicks his tongue small.

‘That's why no one has ever made it through the cliffs. ’

Once attacked, it does not end. Either exterminate a group of Harpies that have chosen this as their prey, or this one is extinct. A few attacks can be taken over, but if it doesn't break, eventually you become exhausted. The Harpies go beyond the bodies of their dead comrades, and new Harpies attack them.

‘The cliffs around it are all monster territory. ’

They are already exposed. This open space is like a bag of chips that has just been ripped out for monsters that have been carved into the cliffs. A bag of snacks like that that you put your hands in and eat if you're hungry.

Speed dial, or... should I just ignore it and run? ’

It's hard to escape. There's still some distance to the Thorn Forest, and I doubt that shabby forest will confirm its role in concealment. Moreover, that forest is also surrounded by cliffs. To avoid attack, you need to get off the cliff. This means that we have to reach the blue volcano.

“Lena, Buff. ”

Lina shudders and shakes her shoulders. Lina is surprised and immediately responds. She raises her wand and casts a spell as she swiftly spreads her lips. Huang! A young light erupts at the end of the wand and envelops the group.

‘For now...! ’

Ka 'ang! The Harpy claws scratch the bottom shield. But there were five Harpies. Each of you sets a goal and drops your claws over your head. Azin grips Lina's stiff shoulder and grips her teeth.

‘You useless bitch...! ’

It's better to just let him die if it's not Hiller. Azin leaps to the ground, ignoring Lina's screams that grip her butt. Focus, focus. Contains Harpy movement with open eyes. The curls, tightened muscles, prepare to explode. And boom, boom! A swinging fist smashes the Harpy's head completely. Ten seconds, still time. Ajin uses the body of a Harpy who was about to fall to his feet to attack the other Harpies. Kwak 'jic! I'm going to put a foot down on the Harpy's head. Still three - one by the sewers. Daisy was spearing and fending off the Harpies. Which is funny, aiming for the nearest one. Azin raises a young strength in his palm. Kuang! An outstretched force blows the harpy's upper half away from Daisy.

[You're moving pretty well.]

From the rolling azin, you hear the laughter of Raw Snow. Azin stands staggering, exhaling. Phew! One Harpy remains pierced through the spear Daisy stabbed.

“Run!”

Azin shouts. He tucks Lina into his side and dangles her to the ground. The sewers and daisies immediately responded to Ajin's cry. Buff magic lightens the body, speeding up the group. But...

[Kahahaha!]

The Harpies were faster. Azin scans the surrounding cliffs and examines the Harpy's movements. There's a big hole across the cliff, and Harpies are pouring out of one of them. Five to seven, the number grew. The Harpies who captured Azin's group are using that cave as their territory. How many Harpies are there? If we take out every Harpy in that hole, will we stop the attack? No, there are still many holes. How do prey priorities work? It is clear that even if you kill all the Harpies in that hole, monsters in other holes will attack the group.

‘I can't outrun them. ’

I couldn't even afford an energy drain. Pulling an unfamiliar acceleration is too much to do just by concerting. What if we don't use acceleration? Can the convent be used while exchanging air rapidly? I have to try. There will be nothing you can do if you take some damage. The problem is not to stop thinking, not to panic. Keeping a cool mind and making accurate judgments. Azin chewed on his lips.

‘Goddamn it, if only we had a long-distance dealer...! ’

It's hard to resist flying monsters. Daisy was the longest, but there are limits to that. Azin has to make a leap to catch the Harpies, and it's inefficient. A ranged dealer might be able to fight more effectively, but the only wizard at this party is Lina, who has only recovered and learned buff magic.

“! ”

At that moment, my back was flat and my senses were hurrying to spread the gospel. Crush! The vision that was created so quickly disappears, scratched by Harpy's wielding claws. A sharp standing sensation makes me feel the threat behind my back, but it can't help but harpy. The Harpies behind you, running on electricity, soon overhead.
