The Live

The three factions that make up the other side.

Humans, demons, angels.

It was divided into three major factions, but in reality, the largest land was the middle ground.

Even if all three factions were combined, they wouldn't be halfway across the Midlands, so you can see how big it is.

There were so many undeveloped areas within the intermediate region. No, there were actually a lot more areas that were not developed.

“The Holy Grail is hidden somewhere in the middle. Well, there's a story like this. ”

As he went down the Grand Mountain, Cheonpyeongtaek briefly explained the intermediate region.

His theoretical knowledge was something that any ranker would recognize. The story about the Holy Grail was just one of the many rumors.

It was never revealed whether it was true or not. No one knows how to get the Holy Grail yet.

“Some say there will be other civilizations in the Midlands. It's a fairly promising story. Deep down in the middle, there are some who live with intelligence, not humans, not demons, not angels. ”

“I don't think it would be that hard just to look around? Do you have a reason to move above ground? ”

In the description that followed, the regular question seemed curious.

The question was obvious. If you're going to look inside yourself, you might as well just lick it off and look deep into the middle zone.

Regular said with his finger pointing up.

“You can use the top, right? They don't have airplanes, but they don't have people who can afford to be rich. ”

“People think the same thing. ”

Pyeongtaek, who laughed at the regular words, asked again and again.

“Don't you think there wasn't one person who thought like you? ”

“Maybe… there was? ”

“Yes, there was. But I failed.”

“Why?”

In the normal question, Pyeongtaek Cheonpyeong looked across the sky.

“The worst creatures are at the top. ”

“Worst creature...? ”

“That's why even winged demons and angels can't cross the middle ground easily. If you trespass wrong up there, you'll be a target to them. ”

In the words of Cheonpyeongtaek, the normal person felt that even demons and angels couldn't invade the sky.

The answer came from Yoon Jae.

“Dragon.”

“Dragon……? ”

“A monster that can be seen deep in the middle... No, I don't think we should call it a monster. Anyway.”

Yoon Jae who was leading the way said, looking back at the norm.

“You'd better not even think about running into them. There aren't many individuals, but each one is strong enough to fly to the Demon King. ”

The Demon King.

That is, a creature called the Demon King.

The dragons are born with a force that is inherently comparable to them.

It was clear that the individual was not prosperous because the radius of activity was too small and could not be treated as a monster.

The main habitat for such dragons was the Midlands. The reason it was considered the most dangerous area was the dragon.

“It's really complicated, here. ”

“It's complicated. It occupies most of the inner world. ”

The five, including Yun Jae, descended below the mountain range almost to the border of the intermediate region.

“What's so high? ”

“Even if I cut down a tree, I'll still build a crazy building. ”

Yoon Jae, Jung and Royce, who had come to the middle area for the first time, put out their tongues when they saw the dense trees.

It was different from looking down at the first few thousand metres.

They looked so small at the top. In fact, they were so large that each one was no different from the devil's tree.

“Hard trees that don't burn like lava and are hard to cut down by rankers. ”

“Is it that hard? ”

“You know it's a reinforcement tree? The key ingredients for making it are the trees here. ”

In the words of Pyeongtaek, Yoon Jae and the regular were looking around the surrounding giants with fresh eyes.

At first, I couldn't feel how hard it was. However, since it was the main ingredient to make hardwood, I felt like I could feel it.

Is that even possible? ’

The reinforcement wood was made using a special method with a special material.

Many of the original members had strange abilities and were willing to make special items.

However, I never imagined that these trees would grow on their own in nature.

At the beginning of the middle region, Yoon Jae approached the nearest logger directly.

Yoon Jae, who was looking up at the giant tree extending over a hundred meters tall, swiped it with one hand.

“What are you going to do? ”

“Just in case. ”

Kwaak -

Yoon Jae, who was sweeping the surface of the tree with his left hand, raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

Then, his fist was filled with magic, and he stretched straight out towards the giant tree.

Kwang -!

Woof, woof, woof.

The giant shakes and vibrates. Hardness and pain flow from the fist that struck the giant.

Yoon Jae looked at the surface of the tree.

Tuck, tuck, tuck.

The bark breaks off the surface of the tree and falls to the floor. The fist marks appeared quite deep and clear.

"Even with all your magic, this is it?" ’

Yoon Jae prided himself on becoming quite strong.

Even just the other day, I hurt him in the battle with Elvin.

That's why I was wondering if I could break the tree, which is the main ingredient in the Refined Reinforcement Tree.

But…….

‘More intensity and hardness than you can imagine. ’

Considering that it is much larger than a regular reinforcement, it was confirmed how hard it is this time.

Krrrrrrr

Woof, woof, woof!

At that moment, I began to hear loud footsteps and cries from a distance.

It comes from deep inside the intermediate region. The strange beast cries faint, but those with sensitive ears can hear enough.

“Hey, what are you talking about? ”

“I don't know.”

Yoon Jae turned his head and looked back at Pyeongtaek Cheon.

“What's that? ”

“What if you call me and ask me? ”

Pyeongtaek cheongpyeong asked Yun Jae again with a playful smile.

Yoon Jae frowned at the sound of her crying.

“I called you? ”

“Did you want nothing to happen after that mess? ”

“No way…. ”

Yoon Jae recalled hitting the giant.

“Did I just hear that? ”

“Yes, that's it. ”

“Why didn't you stop him? ”

Cheonpyeongtaek was an architect, and none of the five people here knew much about the livelihood of the intermediate region.

He would have known that his actions could summon monsters.

Yun Jae also thought that if he had a problem with his actions, Cheon Pyeong-taek would tell him.

“Why do we have to stop them? ”

However, CheonPyeongtaek asked if there was anything strange about it.

“Isn't this a place to check your skills anyway? ”

In a natural question, Yun Jae could see why he did not restrain his actions.

It meant that we should check our quality and ability to be responsible for our actions.

“What is this without mind readiness? That geek is really... ”

The regular grumbled and drew his sword.

Yoon Jae also sighed in a sudden situation. The sound is closing rapidly.

‘Well, I'm not wrong. ’

They weren't here to play.

In addition, Cheonpyeongtaek also offered to see if it was worth it before helping them.

Yun Jae, who needed the help of Cheonpyeong Taek, who is also a designer and a survival specialist in the intermediate region, was forced to do as he said.

‘There's no need to stall, so this might be better. ’

Shroud-

Yoon Jae also drew his sword, just like normal.

Pyeongtaek, Elvin and Royce send two men forward and step back.

It was because they did not need their help to more accurately check their skills.

“Almost there. ”

Pyeongtaek took a long walk back and cast his gaze into the forest.

Khhhhh!

The sound was much larger than the faint cry I had heard before.

Strange crying that resembles a scream. Yoon Jae empowered the sword as she felt it getting closer.

“About 10 numbers. The speed at which sound is approaching is high. Based on the size of the crying, it is approximately 4 meters in size or outside.... ”

Boom!

Kuarrrrrrrrgh!

Giant black figures protruding from all around.

At that moment, Yoon Jae and his regular body bounced off at the same time.

Tadak, Tak -

Yoon Jae and the regular landed on the ground in the opposite direction. You then examine the figure of the creature, revealing its sharp claws towards them.

A bear? Or a dinosaur? ’

A black monster in the shape of a mixture of a bear and a dinosaur standing on two feet.

Pyeongtaek, who has identified ten monsters, opens his mouth.

“These guys are predators. If you can see them, they're the most commonly seen in the middle of nowhere. ”

Pyeongtaek Chun was a horse looking at ten grizzly bears.

“Stocks are the trees that lie here. Careful, they have claws and teeth that are hard enough to chew through the bark of trees here. ”

“Thank you for explaining. ”

Yoon Jae said without even looking at Cheon Pyeong-taek.

The ten grizzly bears were growling, staring at Yoon Jae and normal. However, it seemed that he was conscious of the other three people.

"They're not that low-level. ’

The physical ability to tear down trees in the middle, and the level of intelligence that is not low.

They were worthy of being judged by the top of their ranks when they went outside. Nevertheless, here in the middle, they are eating trees outside the perimeter.

“Do we look like delicious prey to you? ”

Yoon Jae laughed at the grizzly bears.

All this time, those who have been eating bark and bark of trees have been drooling on the appearance of other prey that appear to be weaker than themselves. In Yoon Jae's view of it, it was remarkable.

Yoon Jae told the general who was wary of the grizzly bears around him.

“I'm six, you're four. Is that okay?"

“Fair enough.”

Yoon Jae and Jung quickly came to an agreement.

And that moment.

Pa, pod -

Aaaaahhhh!

Two new brothers began to slit the heads of the bears simultaneously.

* * *

Ten predatory bears.

I was the one who intended them to appear, but I was surprised at the appearance of even ten grizzly bears.

The grizzly bears usually tend to move in groups of five or six.

You can't see how weak they are one by one, but they are classified as weak in the middle here.

However, a herd of ten grizzly bears was not very common. In order to catch ten, you needed three rankers.

No matter how good you are, two people in the first year are not enough monsters.

But…….

Shhh!

Kuarrrrrrrrgh!

The grizzly bears were unable to use the mac on only two of them.

“Those two, they fit perfectly. ”

“Your hands and feet fit well, but one looks like a fight that can be seen as trusting and dependable. I get a lot of help. ”

“Isn't that what you say fits your hands and feet? ”

“Well, you could say that. ”

When Elvin and Royce saw Yoon Jae and the regular grizzly bears, they were underestimating it.

Arms crossed, no big deal.

On the other hand, Pyeongtaek, who was leading the fight, was trembling.

“Is that normal? ”

Elvin looks back at Pyeongtaek.

“What's that? ”

“You're dealing with ten grizzly bears in the first year. You know that because you've dealt with it. ”

Walker Elvin is an experienced middle-aged man.

Although not as much as Cheonpyeong, the architect, knows and experienced the entry of the intermediate region.

And the predatory bear was the kind of monster that could have been found in the middle of nowhere for the first time. Naturally, Elvin had some experience fighting grizzly bears.

“I remember catching five grizzly bears about four years ago. I did have a little baby. ”

Five grizzly bears were hard to cope with.

But Elvin took care of those grizzly bears on his own at the time of his four-year visit.

When Pyeongtaek saw the skills of Elvin, he remembered that he was shocked.

But even that will not compare to the current shock.

“They now bear ten of them. Don't you see?”

“I see it.”

“Is that all the response is? Tell me the truth. It's not their first year, is it? ”

“What are you so surprised about? ”

“What?"

“There are still a lot of surprises. ”

Elvin smiles slightly at the mouth of the CheonPyeongtaek. It was the same with Lois.

In response, Pyeongtaek felt like he was the only fool.

Pyeongtaek, who looked at two people's faces with his hollow face, once again turned his gaze to Yoon Jae and Jeong, who were fighting the grizzly bears.

‘As expected……. ’

Phew.

At that moment, Yoon Jae's sword pierced a grizzly bear's neck.

“I can't believe I'm seeing this. ”
