The Live

Aaaaahhhh!

The sword that pierced the brood bear's neck was drawn and red blood spurted out into the sky.

Tuck, tuck, tuck.

The blood that was spilling up fell down and was on Yoon Jae's shoulder. At the same time, Yoon Jae turned his head and reached out for the usual grizzly bear who was fighting the rest.

Kaga, Kaga, Kaga, Kaga...

- Boom!

The claws of the grizzly bear that were wielding their claws intimidatingly were blocked in the air behind the normal back.

Even though his claws were strong and powerful, his strength was insufficient to crush the 'Cavalry Armor’ that Yoon Jae had made in a heartbeat.

The Regular, who was facing the Mongrel Bear in front of his eyes, conjured the magic of Muhammad in his hand.

Goooooooo-

Muhamad, which has been greatly enlarged by the power of the Giant's Ring, lies down. You wiggle towards the ground below, showing off a much larger, dark-red red aura than a grizzly bear.

Mwaaak -

Khoo-oh-!

You twist your foot, twist your lower back, and slash the legs of a black grizzly bear. The grizzly bear screams and loses its balance and falls to the ground.

“Four, over. ”

Normally, I looked back at Yoon Jae, smiling.

However, Yoon Jae was also dealing with the last remaining grizzly bears.

“Well... I guess it'll be over soon. ”

The moment it fell.

Pa, Pa, Pa...

Yoon Jae's sword pierced the heart of the grizzly bear several times.

Kung-

A heavy grizzly bear falls to the ground and echoes beneath its feet.

Yoon Jae looked back at the norm while wiping the sweat on his forehead with his hands.

“Are you done?”

“Just now.”

“He's not out of breath yet. ”

Yoon Jae pointed to the tip of the sword when his leg was slit under his thigh and fell to the ground.

He showed his teeth again when Yoon Jae pointed at him. It was a worthless threat, that you would bite if you came at me.

“Leave it alone. You don't seem to be able to move much. You don't seem too eager to move. ”

The grizzly bears were not so intelligent.

They probably figured it out halfway through.

The fact that humans who were thought to be prey are, in fact, no better than any predator in this forest.

The grizzly bear, whose legs were cut off and rolling around the floor, no longer saw Yoon Jae and the regular.

He had a frightening look in his eyes.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck...

“Bro?”

Normally, he looked surprised to see Yoon Jae walking slowly towards the grizzly bear. You want to know what he's up to.

Right after.

Aah! Aah!

Yun Jae slammed the brood bear's neck, which had lost its leg to a dagger. Normally, he looked surprised.

“Why don't you.... ”

“What if I leave him like this? ”

Yoon Jae asked again, looking at the norm.

“What happens if another predator finds this one? How can a man who lost his leg and lost his herd survive? ”

“That's ……. ”

“Better to let him go now than be eaten alive by another monster." That's a clean slate for us, for this guy. ”

“…… I think so. ”

He scratched his head and turned to one side with Yoon Jae and looked at the three people who were watching them.

Yoon Jae asked, looking at the eyes of Pyeongtaek Chon with a dull face.

“Is this enough? Or is it not enough?”

Pyeongtaek Chun sounded as if the question was making fun of him.

That's enough. Are you going to say something else?

Not in Yun Jae's view, of course.

‘Ten bears won't be enough. ’

The predator was clearly the top predator on the outside.

Even in the Demon Forest, which was classified as forbidden immediately, there were not many predatory bear monsters.

But in the middle of nowhere, there will be monsters like bears.

Yun Jae did not think that catching monsters of this level would satisfy Chon Pyeong-taek.

But…….

“Is that a question? ”

I sighed as if it were a bad idea to become Cheonpyeong Taek.

“It's nothing to think about. Now I know why Elvin cares so much about you. ”

“Is this really the end? ”

Yoon Jae, who thought it wouldn't be the end, looked a little puzzled.

On the repeated question, Cheongpyeong Taek laughed a little and asked the opposite.

“Are you making fun of me? ”

Pyeongtaek Cheon couldn't help but acknowledge Yoon Jae and the norm.

He looks back at Elvin with an annoying young face.

“Did you know? ”

“About what? ”

“That's how good they are. This doesn't make any sense, does it? ”

Elvin shrugs and replies.

“You wouldn't believe me if I told you. ”

“What?"

“Everyone is the same. Unbelievable things, things that go beyond common sense, I just don't believe in listening with my ears. Most people don't believe me, even if word is out they have Jeffrey right now. ”

At Elvin's words, CheonPyeongtaek became deaf and dumb with no words.

In fact, even after hearing the rumors, he did not believe it.

At that time, it was hard to believe that Yoon Jae and Jeffrey had been captured by regular people who had not even been in the car for half a year.

That's why Cheonpyeong Taek expects two people to be just as good as Jeffrey.

With two of his skills, he could survive for a few minutes against ten grizzly bears.

However, the results were far exceeding expectations.

“Well, you'll see soon enough. There's still a lot of fun to see. ”

“What?”

Pyeongtaek watched Elvin's back as he finally began to walk into the jungle in the middle.

There's still what? ’

* * *

Since then, Pyeongtaek Chun no longer treated Yun Jae and the regular.

No, I couldn't.

The two of them were no different from intermediate agents, even if they were very good right now.

"No, is he more than that? ’

Pyeongtaek looked back, walking ahead.

In his eyes, he saw Yoon Jae walking, talking to Elvin and others.

Although his usual skills of speaking with Lois were well out of specification.

‘I was able to take care of six, but I also cared about the guy next to me. Maybe I could have handled all ten predatory bears by myself.... ’

“What are you staring at? ”

Yoon Jae asked towards Cheon Pyeongtaek, who had been looking at him once before.

For the first few times, even if I could just see it, it bothered me because it kept repeating.

“No, no. ”

“If you have something to say, say it quickly. You didn't like the results either? ”

“Ahhh-”

The same ridiculous question as before.

But it didn't sound like it was teasing. Then there was only one thing I could understand.

‘You don't know what kind of monster the hoarding bear is. ’

It was worth it.

Yoon Jae was a person who had just entered the first year. All the rankers he had ever met were Elvin, Royce, and Siffman.

Yoon Jae was now considering them as‘ rankers’. That's why he thinks he is lacking compared to those who are called rankers.

‘Tell me what you're doing. ’

Pyeongtaek didn't feel the need to tell me.

All I had to say was my mouth ache.

Instead of answering Yoon Jae's question, Cheon Pyeongtaek opened the map that he had put in his arms.

“I'll explain the route from now on. ”

Pyeongtaek, who placed the map directly next to the wooden wall, pointed with his finger to a point.

“This is where we are now. We'll divert this way and get to our destination. ”

“Why are we going back? Not right away. ”

Normally, I raised my hand and asked. It was like a student asking the teacher a joke.

“If you want to die fighting monsters, you can't stop them. Didn't I tell you? The grizzly bears I met earlier are the weaklings at the bottom of the food chain in the middle of the area. There's a lot of them around here. ”

At the words of Cheonpyeong Taek, the normal person who asked me a silly question lowered her hand.

The confidence of going up after killing ten grizzly bears with Yun Jae for the first time was pushed down again. I was tense instead.

Pyeongtaek Cheongpyeong said whether he thought it would be a bit of a story now.

“This side of the road is relatively far from where the monsters live. Well, we can't miss it at all... … but we can at least conserve our stamina as much as we can before entering the undiscovered territory. ”

“How long does it take? ”

“It won't be that different from going straight. I think it will take a week or ten days if I'm late. ”

It didn't take too long to get around.

Since the beginning of the road guidance was all decided to leave it to Cheonpyeong Taek, Yoon Jae and everyone agreed completely.

“Let me tell you one thing. ”

Pyeongtaek said, folding the map back into his arms.

“There is no safe path in the middle. There's just a very dangerous road and a relatively less dangerous road. You'll probably be a tough enforcer to take a break from now until you get out of the middle zone. ”

“I've been prepared for that. ”

“That's a relief. ”

Pyeongtaek Cheonpyeong felt lighter than before departing.

It's because Yoon Jae and regular skills that Jeffrey thought would become a burden the whole way were better than I thought.

‘I thought it would be a package, but something like this.... ’

While smiling, Pyeongtaek thought to himself.

‘This might be easier than I thought. ’
