The Live

The day is setting and the earthly spider settles.

The forest was already as dark as the deep night.

Immediately, it was a dark forest, as dark as evening, due to massive trees that exceeded 100 meters. There was no way the moon and the stars could illuminate a forest that didn't even have sunlight in it.

After a long night, the forest ceased to exist.

“This is going to make it harder to move. ”

As it gets dark, Royse stops walking and says, going ahead side by side with Elvin.

“This is a dangerous area, so move carefully. Monsters will start to panic as soon as it's night. ”

“Let's stop here? ”

Elvin asked as if he didn't like it.

Royse nods and answers.

“Let's take a break and go. Maybe there's something back here. What do you think? ”

“I agree with Lois. As predatory bears are inherently nocturnal, it would be much more dangerous to move at night than during the day. ”

Seeds may have changed their appearance, but they may not have changed their tendency to be nocturnal.

“The time for predominantly active grizzly bears is from dusk to deep dawn. We will refrain from moving as much as possible at that time. ”

It was an instruction that could be made because it was Chon Pyeongtaek, who knew the nature of the cannibal bear. As his instruction, the architect, Elvin no longer spoke.

It was the same with Yoon Jae. Yoon Jae looks around inside the dark forest where there is no sound.

“A nocturnal planet.... ”

Most grizzly bears move at night rather than during the day.

The grizzly bears that I have encountered have been wandering around without sleeping at the right time. In fact, that number was only a fraction of the total.

‘From now on, it's really dangerous. ’

Even if you limit your movements and avoid predatory bears, there will be limits.

Even on the way here right now, there are some monsters attacking for a short break or a nap.

The grizzly bear was the same. These guys were pretty smart. You instinctively know that surprise attacks are more efficient.

Besides...

‘By this time, you'll have noticed the others were dead. ’

So far, Yoon Jae and his group have killed over twenty mutant bears.

The process was not so difficult. The grizzly bears that were separated from each other were not such a difficult opponent even though they were strengthened with seeds.

However, there was no law that once instinct for survival, the herds would never be reunited.

No, I'm sure we'll regroup.

Unless they're after their mother, the devil.

“Let's rest here for a bit. When it's sunny, we'll leave. ”

As the night is deep and the time is slow, the group soon begins to split up.

Prepare for the attack of predatory bears and other monsters while you sleep.

Elvin and Royce first, then Yoon Jae and the regular.

Form two teams to rotate the Nightshade.

It started with Elvin and Royce.

“Looks like it's been a long night. ”

“That's how nervous you must be. ”

Elvin replies to Royse's murmur.

The two people who were leaning against each other were facing the opposite direction. Bored or bored, Lois draws on the floor with her fingers.

“It's been a long time since I felt this crisis. The goal of survival was over five years ago. ”

“Is that an excuse? ”

“Aren't you nervous? ”

“Not so much.”

In Elvin's reply, Lois smiles deeply.

It may sound like a bluff, but Elvin is not one to brag about this.

It was an answer to relieve him of any tension. Royse has seen Elvin for a long time, and his intentions are obvious.

‘Still, I feel relieved. ’

Strangely, I was relieved by his falsely mixed answers. Royse knew everything and was deceived by what he said.

“That's a relief. ”

“What are you two doing? ”

Elvin and Royse turn their heads in a voice that comes from right next to them.

A regular person who was lying on his back with his arm as a pillow, turned around and got up.

“Love originally thrives in times of crisis, is that what this is? ”

“Kabuda is right. ”

“Are you awake? You must be tired.”

“Only when I sleep. ”

The person who answered Royse's question was Yoon Jae, not the regular one.

It wasn't just normal for me to not sleep well. Yoon Jae also woke up one day and was lucid.

“Anyway, you two are suspicious. If you keep coming out like this, I can't go with you. ”

“Then let's do it. ”

“I can't help it, Mr. Jung. Unfortunately, we'll split up as soon as the sun comes up. ”

“Huh, huh? Wait, what is this? You know this is a joke, right? ”

“I don't know.”

“Let's take him down separately. For the record, I didn't think so. ”

“Oh, you did this to your brother? ”

Regular was almost broken, so I looked back at Yoon Jae next to me. In a short conversation, Royce hides his mouth and bursts into laughter.

After a long time, there was a conversation with a mixture of jokes and laughter. However, the pleasant conversation did not last long.

“What's wrong with your face? ”

“... they're gathering. ”

“Why aren't they attacking right away? ”

Elvin and Royse's gaze sweeps through the woods.

Regular people looked around to see what was going on.

“Hustle!”

“Shh.”

Yoon Jae closed his regular mouth and covered his mouth with his other hand.

“... If you make any noise, we'll move right away. ”

Yoon Jae, who killed his voice, looked around slowly, just like Elvin.

All of a sudden, the grizzly bears are around, killing the critters without a sound.

They were either on top of the tree or hiding behind it. It was such a subtle move that it was hard to find without looking around.

‘I thought we were going to move in packs...... but this is too much. ’

Yoon Jae, who was halfway lying down and talking, slowly and quietly raised his torso.

Regular people also began to prepare to move along such a glow. Then I waved the body of Cheonpyeong Taek, lying right next to him.

“I know. ”

Pyeongtaek said in a small voice, then opened his closed eyes.

“...... There are too many of these. ”

“Is that so? ”

“Ten are all I can see. ”

“I saw ten more than that. ”

“38.”

Elvin's voice is mixed with annoyance.

“That's a lot of dirt. It's growing. ”

“What are you going to do? ”

“We're getting out of here.”

In Yun Jae's question, Elvin answered without hesitation.

He didn't normally think about running away, but this time it was different.

38 grizzlies.

They were not ordinary grizzly bears, but grizzly bears that mutated from seeds.

Fight face-to-face with those bastards and you won't be able to pick a bone. There are no answers to more than twenty head-on conflicts, although we don't know what to do about ten.

“I'll do it. ”

“Yoon Jae? ”

In Royse's question, Yoon Jae nodded slightly and replied.

“I'm faster than them. You can move a lot faster with a clock leaf. It shouldn't be too hard to draw attention to yourself and get out. ”

“Don't be ridiculous. No matter how slow you fly and crawl, you're slower than me. ”

Elvin thought it was his job to bait him if he needed to.

Even though Yoon Jae was able to use the watch reel to open the coin, there was definitely a limit to that time. As such, he was better than Yun Jae as bait.

But…….

“Don't worry. ”

Yoon Jae said in a confident voice.

“I don't want to be bait without thinking about it. ”

* * *

“This is also pretty fun. ”

“Look at that. He's so scared, he's whispering. ”

“You want to fight? I'm getting up."

Bellet and the other demon stare at the crystal ball and whine as if it were fun.

They watch Yoon Jae and his group through the crystal ball. At the same time, Veled raises one hand up and moves his fingers busy.

“I've got about 40 now...... Will this be enough for a mall? ”

Bellet laughs, gazing at the grizzly bears moving in her hands.

‘Obviously an attractive ability. ’

40 grizzly bears.

They were just like the slime moving under Veled's banner.

Army-class demon Veled's ability to bind and rule the lower demons.

Although there was a limit to that number, there is virtually no limit now.

It was the devil himself that Veled ruled.

Every other subject that is cultivated with seeds under a single hyacinth of the serpent tree will be as genus as Veled.

‘That's all for now……. ’

The grizzly bears that Veled now gathered were early experiments that used the devil's tree to demonize monsters.

That's why there weren't many of them. Less than 60 in this vast, mid-size area.

But…….

‘In a few more years, I'll be able to keep all the monsters here under me. ’

It was exciting to imagine.

If that were the case, he would be able to wield the same power as the Demon King.

The Devil who commands tens of millions of hybrid bears. How great is that?

With that kind of power, we'll soon be able to wipe out all the humans beyond the Grand Mountain.

“It's moving.”

“That was quicker than I thought. What, are you gonna fight? Or run away?”

“They're looking this way. ”

“What?"

Bellet, who was in her mind, quickly checks the crystal again.

Inside, I could see Elvin making unpleasant eye contact with himself.

‘No way...... You found this? ’

It's different.

What-!

As Elvin draws his sword, a bright light emanates from the crystal sphere.

쩍-

The crystal sphere split clean to the left and to the right.

Bellet hardens her face and reveals a sharp fang.

“Look at this? ”

The crystal sphere was broken, meaning the third eye that was becoming the medium was cut off. A moment ago, Elvin clearly learned of his abilities.

‘I didn't think he was ordinary, but.... ’

That was fun.

It didn't matter.

There were many mediators that could be your eyes anyway.

Every single eye of the grizzly bears surrounding them is his.

“Shall we start hunting? ”
