The Live

Rrrrrrrrrrrrr

A large number of monsters have gathered in the hut.

That number was unbelievable. The large and small monsters, regardless of their size, threatened even the rankers that went off one by one.

Black snakes, the leaders of the monsters, mingle among the hordes. Galyan strokes the head of the black snake coming down.

“…… You must be sick. ”

Thinking about it later, my heart ached already.

Humans, angels, and demons called them monsters. But Galyan did not see them as monsters.

Rather, it was a pity.

Grrr, Grrrrrrrrr...

The black snake cries joyfully at Galyan's touch. Monsters feared the dragon as well as the poisonous Galyan.

“Soon...... many will come to kill you. ”

Grrr?

The black snake tilts its head, if you do not understand.

No matter how clever the monsters are, there's nothing I can do about the language barrier.

No, Galyan had no intention of letting them hear his voice, even if he could solve it.

What he was trying to say was too harsh for them. All I could do for those who were about to die was pray.

I hope they don't suffer.

Galyan drops his hand on the black snake's head and turns away.

‘I……. ’

Galyan grits his teeth and walks beside the dragons.

‘I will soothe your spirits. ’

* * *

Humans and angels walk together.

They were wary of each other and silent. So far they have not recognized each other as full allies.

“I don't know how we can fight together like this. ”

Arhan mutters as he feels a strange stream of air flowing between the rankers and the angels.

Michael who was walking next to him said, glancing at Yoon Jae.

“Someone killed a lot of angels. ”

“... Should I say I'm sorry? ”

“No, thank you. It just is.”

Michael shakes his head in response to Yun Jae's question. It seemed like I still hadn't been angry.

‘I don't know what to do. ’

I could see how to apologize, how not to apologize, and what to do.

It was an unfortunate fight, but it was true that he killed Michael's men.

“But how much further do we have to go? Is this the right direction? ”

“That's right. You're probably starting to see it. ”

It's been more than ten days since I left. I ate some of the food I had taken.

Since he moved quite a distance, Yoon Jae seemed to be close to arriving. It was a vague hunch.

‘The strange thing is.... ’

Yoon Jae looked around the forest and said.

“I still see no monsters. ”

Michael nods at Yun Jae's words.

“It's been like this ever since the first day. It feels like a dead forest. ”

There are quite a number of monsters in the middle area.

There were various kinds of predatory bears, tigers, and red-light spiders.

They were a threat to one another. Even the weakest breed bears could be nervous when more than five are gathered.

I don't know how many there are. The Middle Zone is so vast, and the number of monsters living in it will be unthinkable.

But from day one, no monsters have been seen. Obviously, it wasn't normal.

‘It's not that I'm not attacking, it's completely gone……. ’

Monsters were also intelligent and instinctive.

They know the fact that they will die again and again if they try to run wild. It makes sense to wander far away without rushing in.

But you can't see it at all? I can't feel the monsters' movements far enough away.

“It's like a precursor to something. ”

Yoon Jae agreed to Elvin's muttering.

I wish I could just go easy, but it won't be that easy.

Yun Jae met with the dragons, including Galyan, and knew that monsters were following the dragons.

The disappearance of all such monsters meant a prelude to an event. This is a phenomenon that needs to be nervous, rather than welcoming.

“Hey……. ”

As the sun began to set as he walked for a long time, Yoon Jae found a small hut at the edge of the forest.

“There.”

“There?”

According to Yun Jae, the group looks closely at the cabin, which looks far away.

It was definitely strange to have such a hut built in such a place. This was a completely different path that had nothing to do with the land of humans, angels, and demons.

“…… At least it doesn't look like we built it. ”

Humans, angels, and demons could not have come to this place and built a house. Even so, it doesn't look like a house big enough for a monster to live in.

That's the only thing.

“Is this where dragons live? ”

Nothing was certain.

Leading Yoon Jae, the other party moves ahead, and rankers and angels begin to surround the hut widely. Yoon Jae walked towards the cabin first.

“Wait until you signal. ”

Arhan and the Hundred Thousand were there with rankers. There was a man assigned to enter the hut.

“It's just me, the regular, and Kim Jin-seok. ”

Yoon Jae decided that he didn't need that many people.

The hut looks small and narrow. Three people were enough.

“I'll go in with you. ”

Michael stepped out on behalf of the angels.

He wanted to see the inside of the hut with his own eyes. There is a reason why we still do not trust humans, including Yoon Jae.

The three men, including Yoon Jae, and Michael, slowly headed for the cabin.

The hut was very small and humble on the outside, but it was made harder than I thought. Probably because the material was made up of a giant tree growing in the middle region.

“It's wider than I thought. ”

Michael looks inside the hut and says in a small voice.

The hut was made up of two rooms. The inside looks surprisingly wider than it looks on the outside.

“…… Writing? ”

Yoon Jae found writing on the inside of the hut. On the wall, there were writing like any other room in the center of the temple found in the middle area.

“What kind of writing? ”

Yoon Jae's muttering turned around and asked.

He tilts his head and looks around the room. The others were the same reaction.

It didn't seem like a joke. Above all, now was not even a playful situation.

Am I the only one seeing this? ’

Yoon Jae looked at the writings on the wall that he could see. The words that sparkled with light could not be seen.

“It seems to be visible only to your eyes. ”

Kim Jin-seok realized that only Yoon Jae's eyes could see the writing.

“What does it say? ”

The writing is visible only to Yun Jae, the key.

Maybe that's the clue to finding the Holy Grail. Yoon Jae thought so too.

The letters were new to me, but I could see what they were. I don't know the text, but I just saw it myself.

Yoon Jae slowly began to read the letter.

“The first line is……. ”

It was then.

“Monsters -!"

You hear a loud shout from outside.

It was shouting by numerous rankers and angels. Yoon Jae stopped reading the letters and turned around.

“Let's take care of it from there. ”

“You should read this first. We'll take care of the monsters. ”

Monsters. That's what Michael thought.

No matter how numerous and powerful the monsters were, Michael was confident in his abilities.

In addition, there was also a regular against Kim Jin-seok and two archangels with similar skills.

Even if the monsters attack, it shouldn't be too hard to clear them out. Yoon Jae had no reason to help right away.

But…….

“I don't think it's worth thinking about. ”

Yoon Jae said that and went straight out of the hut. After seeing Yoon Jae looking serious, Michael left the hut wondering what was going on.

It was a moment when I just left the hut.

“What--what? ”

Rankers and angels surrounding the hut.

There are so many monsters that can be seen beyond them that they cannot be counted.

Monsters that climb on trees, monsters that fly in the sky, and monsters that threaten rankers on the ground.

Inside, some of the most dangerous monsters are known to be black snakes. In addition, even if it wasn't as big as the black snake, it could see a monster with the same energy and size.

“How many...?" ”

Regular people looked bored.

I've fought a lot of monsters, but I've never seen a number like this. The 10,000 units seemed to be surpassing.

Even though there are many monsters in the middle, it is unlikely that this number of monsters reside within this narrow area.

Moreover, it was definitely unnatural for monsters with different traits to gather together and move systematically without attacking each other.

“... like an army. ”

The most enlightened person here was Michael.

He has long been an archangel and has studied how to systematically deal with the army. The movement of the monsters now feels like an army.

“There's someone above them. Probably dragons.”

In Michael's words, Yoon Jae asked.

“What do you say? Let's go inside and read. ”

“…… No, help. I must have said something wrong. ”

The situation was quite urgent.

With such a large number of monsters, the rankers and angels who have come with us are at their best together. It looks like all the monsters in the middle area have been scraped together.

Yoon Jae's skill here was remarkable.

Yoon Jae had already surpassed Kim Jin-seok before he got the power and the piece of life.

Since then, Yoon Jae has acquired two more pieces, and not long ago he even sealed Balock.

If he rolls his hands and helps, the damage will be much less. You can see the writing in the hut at any time, but you cannot recover the damage you took during the fight.

“Then first……. ”

Park-

Yoon Jae swiftly draws his sword and digs into a huge horde of monsters.

“Let's get rid of these guys first. ”
