- I need you to help me.

The voice that wants rescue echoes through the air again and again. A peculiar voice that is invisible to even the slightest hint of height. We can only know that it's coming from the front, but no one knows the exact location.

However, at least those included in the vanguard could clearly hear the voice.

While everyone was keeping quiet, the first person to wake up was Yoon Yoon.

“Who are you? Identify yourself. ”

- Are you here to help with the rescue?

“We are not rescuers. Then, they asked me to identify myself. ”

- I was attacked by a monster. Wounded, no daily shifts.

“Monster? Did you say monster? What's that supposed to mean? ”

Please help me, it hurts so much. * Sobbing *...

While talking, Seon Yoon felt a chill. The keen archer's hearing echoes endlessly. The sound is clear because the very dreadful tone was not only constant.

Maybe it's not a person.

It was when Seon Yu thought that, turning the crossbow that was aiming for Ko Ohil to the front.

“Wait, why are you aiming a crossbow? ”

A woman in a bronze priest robe hurriedly steps forward.

“Go back.”

However, Seon Yoon did not even look back. All I do is stare at Zigsy. Seeing the strange sensation of such behavior, the leading mercenary clans began to draw out a single weapon. I felt a sudden look on the face of the woman watching it.

“Hey, what are you doing? I can't help you right now when people are dying... ”

“Hey, if you're not going to help me, shut up and get lost. It bothers me.”

But before the woman's words were finished, she cut off her standing voice. The woman turns to look stunning, but suddenly she is flawed. The well suddenly draws two daggers and shoots them in a cool light.

“No. I'm sure the voice of a person.... ”

“Stupid bitch. ”

“W-what? ”

“Is there a magic detection foam? Don't you see there's nothing in front of you right now? ”

The woman frowned at Ami. It's because I didn't understand what the well just said. From the sound of his voice, he should be able to sense something, but he can't feel anything.

Doesn't it seem odd that everyone, human or monster, has a knack, but they don't get caught?

Contradiction. Then there were two answers. One is that it's not within range. Or a new creature has emerged that can't be captured by any sensible means.

- No, you can't. Those bastards are coming again.

At that moment, there was another strange voice. Even though it is still high and low, it speaks at a different speed than before. as if trying to create an urgent situation.

- Get out of here. Monsters have found this place. Come on, man.

Now I'm not asking you to help me, I'm asking you to run.

Weren't you trying to trick me into it?

The light flashes on the faces of the users of the vanguard. Even Seon Yu-run frowned.

“You cowards! ”

At that moment, the woman grumbled and ran forward, knowing that she had just been convinced of what she had heard. Someone grabs her by the shoulder in a hurry, but the woman shouts out loudly.

“Let go! Would a monster say something like that? That's a human voice! ”

Then he pulls out his staff, eventually escaping the vanguard.

“Where exactly? I'll be right there!”

- This way. This way. Further ahead.

As the woman circled around, her voice immediately replied. The woman who guessed she would soon be in the dense forest nodded and accelerated to run.

Perhaps if the woman were a little smarter, she would have stopped walking the moment she heard her voice. However, because she did not, she was forced to stop walking, not voluntarily.

Wheelic!

Tak!

A terrifying sound that cuts through the air. Suddenly, the woman who was running with all her might stopped.

While my body was stumbling with inertia, the woman's gaze was toward my ankle. The filthy whip wraps around both ankles firmly.

No, it wasn't a whip. With sticky liquids and protruding projections on the surface, it seems to see tentacles.

After a while, the woman's eyes widened.

But it was already too late.

“Oh?”

Suddenly, the world she sees leans to the right.

Soon after, the woman leaned completely to the ground, screaming and dragging herself into the bush. At a very fast rate. The woman's colleagues exclaimed bitterly, but they were already being sucked into both their legs and their upper half.

“Sa, save me! ”

Your arms stir up the air for nothing. Soon, the woman's body, which seemed to be infinitely sucked in, stopped.

But it's already in almost perfect condition. The only thing that looked out of the bush was two shattered arms. Your arms are still hollowing out the air as if you still want structure.

And...

Wadduk!

“Aaahhhh!”

Suddenly, a sudden thud erupts, and a new scream buzzes around you.

It didn't stop once.

Wadduck! Wadduck!

“Gaaaah! It hurts! ”

As the sound continues, the woman starts pounding the floor like crazy, twisting her arms around. Despite her desperation and priesthood, the forest on the ground was torn apart.

But wait a minute.

Quad, quad, quad, quad!

A loud cracking sound. At the same time, the arm of the woman who hit the ground turned stiff, trembling and limping. At last, the sound of her inhaling liquids disappeared slowly into the bush.

The users stared at the left bush with a blank face. All of this passed in the blink of an eye. Time has passed since the time the woman was caught by the ankle, not more than 10 seconds ago.

But it wasn't over yet.

- Ahh... Ahhhh...

A moment later, an unbelievable thing happened. The woman who thought she must have died rose out of the forest and slowly floated into the air.

Such a woman was so miserable that I couldn't even look at her. The tentacles were wrapped around his neck and his lower body was crushed like it had been smashed into a similarity mixer. The blood is pouring down like a river.

- Help Dodo... Please help me with the formulation... Ahhhh...

Tears fell from the woman's eyes. He holds a tentacle around his neck, distorting his face as much as he can and sending a distress call.

Strange, though, that face was as lamenting as wanting structure, but that strange voice you heard earlier.

Seon Yoon bit his mouth tightly. No, all users had the same idea.

Unidentified monster. However, we don't know exactly where they are.

And now I have to save that woman. One or the other.

When I had to face all of this for the first time, I suddenly got confused by the accident.

It was then.

Bam!

- Trying to be gentle... Heave, heave!

Suddenly, a sword sprinkled with white light pierces the neck of the woman in midair. Due to this, the woman's body, which was bent and joined the horses, was shaking significantly to the left and to the right, and eventually she bowed her head.

“All hands, battle stations! ”

At the same time, a slightly angry voice strikes the vanguard. But it was also a familiar voice. Within a few moments, users could similarly see four or five users running ahead in the left bush.

Among them, there was a bright color on Yoon's face, who saw a user running from the lead.

“Clan Lord! ”

It was Kim Soo-hyun. As soon as she got out of the Jinro Gateway, she knew the situation and swung her sword without hesitation.

Kim Soo-hyun returned straight to the vanguard, still reaching for the sword in his neck. Surprisingly, the sword moved and cut the woman's throat and sat down with Kim Soo-hyun's hand. Blood spills out from the cut.

“Wait! Mercenary Road! That woman is my sister! ”

Someone shouted loudly, but Kim Soo-hyun didn't give a damn. Rather, he continued shouting in a magical voice.

“The place is in the left forest. Distance from 2 meters to 25 meters. Blader, wet side protection by moving forward left. Wizards are boundary magic, priests are shields. Archers now...! ”

“Mercenary Road! ”

Eventually, an unbearable man rushed in. It was a man who held the woman by the shoulders for a while. However, he grabbed the man's chin without looking, forcing him to turn and look at one side. The moment I saw the air, the man opened his mouth.

The woman who thought she was dead was looking down. Blood was still pouring out, but the woman's face was calm. No, I smiled as I spilled blood on my mouth. It's like an animal in front of it.

“Fire!”

Dozens of arrows hit the air in the first stroke.

The woman's smile darkened. Then the arrow rises higher into the air, avoiding all of it. Moreover, from that state to retreat far away.

Kim Soo-hyun raised his sword as if to throw it again, then slowly lowered it back down.

Immediately, the tentacles surrounded the woman retreated even further and hid themselves in the forest.

And after a while, the bushes began to sway from side to side.

Such a shake soon appeared to be very rapid, disappearing in a direction far away from the southern expedition.

*

In the end, the Southern expedition did not cross the mountain that day. Rather, I retreated my steps and decided to go camping, even though it was a little early. It was only after the appearance of the first monster encountered that the Viceroy urgently entered the meeting.

However, Han So-young gave a special name to the expedition.

What's special is that from today onwards, we will strengthen our vigilance. Rumor has it the suspect is called the Mercenary Road.

In fact, strengthening the boundaries after monsters appeared was natural, but the problem was that it was a bit severe. Moreover, due to the fact that sleep has a lot of impact on health recovery, users could also complain.

Deep night.

The forest was filled with gloom, but the nearby camp was illuminated by a blazing light.

“Shit. What the hell is going on?" ”

A man grumbles and grumbles in a wooden stump. Then, one of the two men and women who were guarding one direction turned her head.

“Hey, when did you get here? Where have you been? ”

“I'm here to take care of some business. Why.”

“Crazy. Have you been in the bathroom for over an hour? I almost told you! ”

“Yes. Yes, sorry. It was huge! ”

When the woman spoke in Pinzanzo, the man was lazy with an annoying face. The woman frowns as she looks.

“What's wrong with him? Why are you complaining about everything? ”

“Oh, right. What are we doing? I can't sleep. ”

“Is it because you can't sleep? ”

“Not because I can't sleep, but because I feel like I'm doing something useless. How is it possible to run one quarter of our troops at a time on a perimeter? ”

The man relentlessly spilled his complaint. The woman shrugs, shrugging her shoulders if she doesn't want to face the other man standing next to her.

“I can't help it. This is the situation. This is the situation. We have to trust and wait. Maybe the brains have come up with something good. Right, honey? ”

The woman asks for consent, but the man says nothing.

“Baby? Baby! What's the matter?"

The woman waves her elongated arm. Then the man who was stiff whispered.

“… Soyeon. ”

“Why? Are you in a hurry? ”

“That's not it... Magical Power Detection.”

“Magic power detection? ”

The man nods slowly.

The woman was tense for a moment. A man's class is archer. This class is optimized for hazard detection. The woman immediately triggered a magical sensation, thinking it might be an ambush.

But I don't feel anything unexpectedly. There are only two ways to feel. A man standing next to his own. Other than that, there is no catch.

“Why? It's just you and me around...? ”

And that moment.

The woman's eyes widened into a flashlight.

A new monster has emerged. It's a monster with a tricky side for the average user. I put a lot of effort into setting it up. And I'll give you one hint: the number of syllables the monster talks about. Well, that's not such a great hint. Haha. It's not a corpse, anyway. They're not doppelgangers, of course. We'll bring it to your attention as we move forward, so we think you'll know soon enough.:)

P.S. I appreciate your comments yesterday. I'll think about it.
