Chapter 1587 - 113 - 119

Chapter 113 – Gragos (3)

Cracklecrack

A large amount of body fluids, that resembled a small sea, was quickly being filled up.

By the green stone, Graphite, that the Rerorerore clan was throwing.

"Throw more!"

"You'll get caught in it if you get close! Use skills to pour them in!"

Crack

The moment one of the four materials that could affect the Gragos touched the bodily fluids it sucked in the fluids like a sponge as it started to increase in size over hundreds of times.

Thanks to this the sea-like body fluid lake was getting slowly emptied at a visible pace.

Jongsang, who had been watching this next to Gwanje, swirled his tongue around as he looked at the viscera deep within the Gragos.

"Wow. Amazing. How did you manage to find such a place?"

It wasn't an easy place to locate since it wasn't within the sphere of influence of humans.

Gwanje smiled.

"Well. I struggled a bit. It should at least be this much mister."

Jongsang nodded.

But there was something he was worried about.

"But what if it suddenly goes on a rampage while we take over it?"

Gwanje shook his head at that.

"Don't worry about that, we're taking care of it somewhere else. If it goes to plan then an amazing pet will be created."

Only four of the Ursa Major were here including Gwanje and Gordon who had gone to catch the little flies, the other three were nowhere to be seen.

They were doing something somewhere else.

'Hmm. Then we can take over the Gragos and even find the Temple…Huh.'

Jongsang freaked out in the past because he thought that Gwanje was going to kill this thing.

Since two problems will rise up from that.

First, if this guy fell then everyone above it will die.

Second, if this guy died then the location to acquire the body fluids will disappear so they will starve.

But Gwanje meant that he was going to take control of it.

'Well yeah. But how are you going to find the location of the Temple like this?'

Jongsang looked at Gwanje with an amazed expression.

There were a few things that Gwanje hadn't told him, an outsider.

In what way the thing they were doing was part of controlling the Gragos?

And how he can find the hidden Akarons and find the location of the temple?

'He has a lot of secrets.'

He had a few awkward spots and was a bit humane in the past but the current Gwanje had become a man who Jongsang couldn't see through easily.

Jongsang suddenly thought of something he had forgotten about when he had first met Gwanje.

"Anyways, what happened to your wife and your daughter?"

This guy wasn't alone when he saved him.

He had a 13 years old daughter because he had married early despite being 30 years old.

He thought that Gwanje had placed them in a safe spot but he had never heard of him talk about his family.

Gwanje shrugged his shoulders.

"My daughter died and my wife is next to another man."

Though he was talking lightly, Jongsang felt a chill run down his back.

'…He's not thinking of doing something crazy right.'

Though others might not know but Gwanje was a guy who had given up everything in the Red Zone due to his family possibly being endangered by the Calamities and had gone up.

If his family had gone through that then a corner of his mind might be seriously twisted.

'It'll be a relief if his actual goal is just taking the Gragos over.'

If this guy were to let off those twisted emotions then it won't end in a small scale.

Gwanje laughed towards Jongsang who was making an uneasy expression as he spoke.

"I said don't worry. Why would I do something weird when my wife would be in this Gragos somewhere? Anyways, do you want to eat this? It was created by petrifying the body fluids on the Graphite so it's quite good. We named it Greenlight… they say sweet things help out in stress relief.

Gwanje then handed over a small green candy with a stick stuck onto it.

Jongsang frowned as he tasted the strange taste that he could not discern.

Though it was sweet it was like adding sugar to waste water.

"You damned bastard. This would definitely help out in stress relief… Anyways, why are you putting such lame names on these things?"

Gwanje shrugged his shoulders.

"To not get attached to it."

"What?"

"It'll be annoying if I put an awesome name on something I hate and get attached to it."

"…"

While Jongsang was making a strange expression, a carrier pigeon flew towards Gwanje.

Gwanje sighed as he looked at that carrier pigeon.

'Look. There's no way I can like these guys.'

...............

'Damnit! Why are there no reinforcements!'

Booom!

Gordon freaked out at the sudden change.

Squirm squirm

The situation changed the moment it turned into night.

Endless amounts of soldiers were climbing out from beneath his shadow.

Of course that wasn't enough to beat him.

Though the skill was extremely strong, it was still a bit lacking to close in the gap between a Baladi and a Margoth level.

If only there weren't suicide soldiers who constantly charged in.

Booom!

"Fuck!"

The black creature which had crawled out from the shadow of the suicide soldier, which had turned into powder by his skill, madly rushed towards him.

Gordon let go of the reinforcement while gathering it in his hands.

Boooom!

An explosion that far exceeded what a reinforcement could have created swept the area.

The shadow soldier who had its upper body blown off fell backwards towards the ground.

Then it disappeared as if it had melted and then absorbed back into the other shadows.

Though his attack had destroyed the shadow perfectly, Gordon had no time for leisure.

Since that guy will rejuvenate from the shadows, heal up and then climb back up.

They only looked a bit black after that. The human-shaped creatures constantly coming back after healing back up no matter what kind of damage they received was tiring even for Gordon who had gone through a lot of things.

'Damnit! I have to get the main source!'

They were obviously being recreated by mana.

He had to kill the guy who was just throwing daggers at him from the distance.

But there were too many things charging at him.

'Is he crazy or something? How many have you killed in that short amount of time?'

The moment he thought that he had cleared quite an amount of shadow soldiers, suicide soldiers with the Limit Breaker expressionlessly charged towards him.

And when he had taken care of those the shadow soldiers who had gone back to the shadows climbed up again.

'But… I can win!'

Gordon grinded his teeth.

This much was clearly winnable.

Since his mana wasn't endless and there was a limit to the number of suicide soldiers.

Once his mana and the suicide soldiers ran out first then it would be his win.

And Gordon was confident.

Killing the Margoth alone wasn't child's play.

Margoth hunting was something only possible after polishing one's skills, artifacts and battle skills to the extremes.

But the problem laid somewhere else.

"You retards! Get back! Get the fuck back!"

Gordon grinded his teeth as he shouted.

The guy who had held him down with the shadow soldiers and the suicide soldiers was killing off the Rerorerore clansmen as they were approaching him.

Weaker ones would get killed and supplement to the shadow soldiers.

The dropped runes would be eaten up and increase the amount of mana.

Decent ones would get suppressed, forced in the Lord symbol and then be recreated into a suicide soldier.

The clan Lord who was acting as a slave below was about to fall down from exhaustion.

He could only.

He had to constantly give suicide orders, recreate symbols and accept new clansmen while others died, even the greatest Lords would get exhausted by this.

No, the fact that he could do this much was already amazing.

Gordon suddenly felt fear.

Since he had killed almost a hundreds suicide soldiers the remaining amount should be less than 30 but there were still at least 80 left.

Though the shadow soldiers had gotten weaker as if his mana was getting drained but the problem was Gordon himself.

At this pace his stamina and mana would run out first.

Then he would really die.

'Damnit! Where are they! It's been a long while since I sent the carrier pigeons.'

This was the first time he had missed the Ursa Majors and that lame name.

If one of them came then they would be able to rip apart everyone here.

But even after a long while nobody came.

"Gwanje you crazy bastard! Come! Am I a hand which could be thrown away somewhere like here?! I'm not! Uwaaa! If you took me in then take responsibility!"

Gordon shouted out in rage.

..................…..

"Mister let's go. Since we finished everything we needed to here, let's go to the next stage."

Gwanje, who had been receiving the carrier pigeons that were constantly flying in from all around, sent a few to two of the Ursa Majors who would be protecting other directions as he prepared to leave.

Jongsang frowned as he saw this.

"You said that there was another Ursa Major right? Aren't you going to take him?"

He said four total including himself.

But Gwanje was going to leave while leaving one behind.

'Damnit. I can't figure out what's going on.'

He had no way of knowing since he could only listen to what Gwanje was saying.

Gwanje nodded.

"Well. He'll figure it out on his own. Getting to the Forest of Horns next is more important. Anyways, there is a large amount of graphites left."

The moment Gwanje mumbled 'We were going to leave before it completely froze up anyway… Collected too much for nothing.' and read the final carrier pigeon, he suddenly stopped as he read it.

And then muttered towards Jongsang.

"It seems like the ones Gordon chased before were baits. Formidable."

"Bait?"

"It seems the Crown clan is invading this place."

It was clearly written on the carrier pigeon.

That four Margoth levels of the Crown clan were invading this place.

Others might've been different but how could the scouts mistake the faces of the Margoth levels?

Normally he would ignore them.

Since he had done everything he needed to here even if they had sniffed something.

'But… If it's the Crown clan then the story changes a bit.'

"You know them?"

Jongsang asked.

It was quite a stupid question really.

Since the Crown clan was a humongous clan which had four Margoth level adventurers other than the clan patriarch himself.

Reroreore clan, one of the top 2 strongest clans.

And the Crown clan, one of the 3 strongest.

How could Gwanje not know them?

But the reason why Jongsang asked was because a clear emotion started to well up on Gwanje's face.

Gwanje laughed.

"Of course, I told you that my daughter died earlier."

"…"

"It's a bit rude to go like this. We should leave them a gift."

Gwanje spat the Graphite candy in his mouth, the Greenlight, and then sent a carrier pigeon somewhere.

..................…

'Tsk. They were pouring in Graphite. This is why the body fluid was drying up. Anyway, how did they find the reflux organ?'

Hansoo clicked his tongue as he looked at the scene in the distance.

Reflux Organ.

It reorganized the bodily fluids that ran around the Gragos body once, sent the usable ones around the body again and the ones which ran out of nutriments were sent outside the body.

Of course it was a place in the Gragos with the most body fluids since it was an organ created to decrease the waste of body fluid as much as possible.

'They're falling back though. Was killing the Gragos not their objective?'

If killing the Gragos was their objective then they had to pour more.

But these guys were hurriedly packing up and quickly heading somewhere else.

'Then I shouldn't have needed to come here… Why did the flip incident happen in the past?'

If more wasn't poured in then the graphites would get swept up by the body fluids and slowly get crushed apart.

Bali Roper, the Margoth level expert of the Crown Clan, shouted as he saw the ones running away.

"What are you doing? Let's go ahead and wipe them out."

Their clan received tremendous amounts of stress since that crazy guy over there trying to assimilate them.

If there wasn't a power balance between the two strongest clans then a full frontal war would've happened already.

So Bali Roper actually liked the current situation.

'Though I became a slave… It's good as long as the result is good.'

This guy had clearly said.

That he would release them if everything went well.

And if this guy helped then sweeping the main headquarters of the Rerorerore clan wouldn't be that hard.

Since the clan patriach, Gwanje, always liked to separate the Ursa Major and use them efficiently.

'There's no way all of them would be here.'

The four of them here and Hansoo could deal a serious amount of damage.

Kuuuuuuuungg!

While Bali Roper was laughing , a rough cry ran throughout in all directions.

'Margoth?'

It wasn't just one or two from the cries he could hear.

'Damnit.'

Bali Roper made a frightened expression.

They were called Margoth level because they could win a one versus one against the Margoths.

But the cries told them that there were at least 20 of them incoming.

Hansoo clicked his tongue as he looked at the Margoths charging from the distance.

'It seems like they are leaving after completing everything they needed to here but for them to go the extra mile and throw the Margoths here…Huh.'

It seems like they weren't even luring them to this location in order to prevent the Crown clansmen being able to chase them.

Hansoo spoke towards Bali Roper next to him.

"There's no way that I'm the reason… Did you cause some sins against that guy?'"

"…"

Chapter 114: Gragos (4)

Bali Roper looked at Gwanje who was personally leading the Margoths to his direction.

'It's been a while. Tsk. Some bad fate.'

Bali Roper thought of the incident in the past.

He had met that guy, his wife and his daughter 4 years ago.

There aren't many who travel with their family in the Otherworld.

And those who came together in the beginning and had even climbed up to the Orange Zone could be counted on one's fingers.

It was one of two incidents.

One of the family members was so abnormally strong that they could protect the other members despite them being weak.

Enbi Arin, a powerhouse of the Orange Zone, was like this.

Or that all of the members were decently strong.

Gwanje's family were the latter.

And because of this they couldn't win over Bali Roper.

Though Gwanje, his daughter and his wife were quite strong, they were just at the level of those who came up from the Red Zone.

Though Gwanje was almost at the Baladi level, he himself was one of the strongest out of the Baladi levels and these three mediocre ones couldn't go against him.

He was extremely happy when he first found Gwanje and his family.

One of Bali Roper's favorite actions was playing around with another family member in front of them.

Finding such a family was like plucking stars from the heavens but for him to bring both his wife and his daughter, how could Bali Roper not be excited?

And as if he'd married early, the fact that his wife was still attractive made him quite happy.

'Damn. I should've killed him back then.'

Bali Roper frowned.

The place where he had lost him was this place.

Though Bali had caught the daughter, Gwanje had taken his wife and fell into this giant Reflux Organ.

'I shouldn't have killed his daughter as a mean of anger relief back then.'

Who would've known that the guy who had come back would've become such a monster?

The guy who was barely at the Baladi level came back as a Margoth level.

He then used that strength and the lure and hope of the body enhancement surgery in order to madly increase his influence and power.

Their growth was but instant.

Gwanje seemed like he didn't care much about managing the clan, he just took people in as long as they were strong.

The reason why they had let in Kale Dawson, who was being chased by Enbi Arin, was a tactic as well.

Since the decision of taking Kale Dawson in while neglecting the possibility of clashing with Enbi Arin was very tempting to those in the Orange Zone who had created enemies everywhere.

In conclusion, all the people who were strong but couldn't join a clan and receive their protection because they were such a mess of a character had been recruited into the Rerorerore clan.

This was the moment where a group consisting of the worst possible individuals had been created.

The Rerorerore clan, which had instantly caught up to the clan Eres and Keldian had created, the , became an object of caution to other clans in a moment.

If he himself hadn't become stronger, gotten to the Margoth level and hadn't gone into the Crown Clan who were against the Rerorerore clan quickly expanding and recruiting in strong people then he would've been ripped apart.

'Tsk. To meet in a place like this.'

Margoths were charging in from all directions.

But there was no need to fight with the Margoths here.

Though Gwanje had brought the Margoths here, they could also just back off.

They might receive some damage while backing off but those who should worry about this were the weaker ones and not himself.

'If Hansoo has some sense then he wouldn't throw me away here either.'

Bali Roper frowned after looking around his surroundings with leisure.

'…But wouldn't be we able to kill that guy this time?'

As he'd been penetrated by the horn upon the Margoth's head, Bali roper looked at Gwanje who had a giant hole on his side and muttered inwardly.

Actually Gwanje was like fear itself even in Bali Roper's perspective.

That strength, that tenacity and that resourcefulness.

If such a guy was alive then he wouldn't be able to sleep at night in peace.

He had to kill the guy who was always looking for a chance to kill him instead no matter what so he had targeted the Akarons.

Since combining the strength of the Akarons along with their clan would mean that they would have the strength to smash apart the Rerorerore clan.

'Though everything went to shit… Isn't this a chance?'

Bali Roper stole a glance at Hansoo.

The best instance would be the guy next to him and Gwanje in the distance all dying together.

At this rate he will eventually be killed under Gwanje's hands.

Since Gwanje had been slowly getting to him for the past 4 years.

Though he wanted to get to the Yellow Zone but once he tried to do this Gwanje would block his path even if he had to go on a war against him.

It was a crazy act in Bali Roper's perspective since he had to cross over the Rerorerore clan's territory in order to get to the portal to the Yellow Zone.

'But this is quite worth risking a bit of danger.'

Bali Roper took out and grasped the small necklace that he had saved for an unknown situation after finishing off his thoughts.

.................

Hansoo looked at the guy in the distance while preparing to back off.

'It seems like that guy is the leader of the Rerorerore clan. Did he lure them over here himself?'

Kim Gwanje.

Though it seemed like he had received quite a large injury, that injury was healing at a visible pace.

'So he received the body enhancement surgery as well. I wasn't the first huh.'

The Margoth's eyes were not targeted on Gwanje who had lured them but at Hansoo and his group who were swarming around in the distance.

Margoth Du Capucio.

They were smaller than the giant Margoths with a herbivore's physique, the Margoth Du Graesios.

Just about 1km.

Since they were a bit weaker than the Graesios, a normal Margoth level adventurer could kill around two of them.

But they were much more dangerous to humans since they had a much worse temper and will kill even if they couldn't eat them if they felt danger.

Actually around one Margoth level person would get shredded apart after going into their territory without realizing it and get hunted down by their group hunts.

'Tsk. To bring 20 of them.'

Though he might be able to beat them with the new power of the Nurmaha's ring he had obtained on the way up to the Orange Zone and the power of those behind him but the damage will be substantial.

'But if he doesn't bother to plug this place up then there's no reason to fight.'

Then he didn't have anything to do with that guy.

Though there wasn't anything bad about killing him but it'll be dangerous if they go too far while the Margoths are on a rampage.

Hansoo made the decision to back off here and help the Akarons as he spread the scent behind him and tried to back off.

'It doesn't seem like he brought them here to massacre us anyway.'

Kuaaaaaaaaaak!

Though the Margoths were madly charging at them, there was a limit to how many can come in at a time due to the structure of the ant tunnels.

Though there might be small amounts of damage, they would be able to back off.

Hansoo looked at the Margoth Du Capucios making huge noises as they ran towards the cave that housed the Reflux Organ and gathered mana onto his hands.

At the same time the most fatal pore of the Pandemic Blade started to gather up at the end of Forked Lightning.

Hansoo then used the Demonic Dragon's Reinforcement onto the already enhanced body and whipped the spear out.

Booooom!

The Capucio that was charging at them started to shake its head.

Kyaaaaak!

The Capucio shook its head from the pain of the skin around its head burning up and then fell, smashed down to the side of the inner walls of the Gragos as if it had become dizzy.

'It's working.'

He hadn't put in that much mana onto the Pandemic Blade.

The thing he had put more mana into was something else.

Nurmaha's ring.

The third power after Power Destruction and Hemorrhage.

.

Kuuuuu

The giant Margoth Du Capucio smashed its head against the wall as if it was feeling extremely stuffy.

No, it even staggered as it crashed onto the other Margoth Du Capucio running next to it.

Kyaaaak!

As he saw the row of Margoth instantly being smashed apart, Bali Roper made an annoyed expression.

'That's really unfair. Where the hell did he get something like that?'

Bali Roper thought of when he had been caught by Hansoo.

It wasn't that one got blind or turned deaf after getting hit by it.

But it was much more annoying.

Their eyesight which allowed them to see objects that were kilometers away.

It suppressed their perception rune that was the basis of that and even messed with their balance.

And of course such a thing was fatal in a battle where they had to fight madly with all five of the senses being honed on the battle.

The things over there would feel the same thing at this moment.

"What are you doing? Let's hurry and get out."

Hansoo spoke as he looked to the side.

It wasn't that they would turn into half of a retard after getting hit once.

It took more mana the more effective it was and the duration wasn't that long.

Bali Roper made a sad expression at those words and then shook his necklace a few more times.

'Did he not see it?'

This was all he could do since he couldn't provoke Gwanje openly when Hansoo was looking at him.

Bali Roper looked at Gwanje who was looking at his direction with a glare.

........................….

'To have to send him off. Hoo…'

Gwanje looked at Bali Roper in the distance with a neutral expression.

Though he wanted to rip that guy apart, he had no way of killing him since he had hidden deep within the Crown Clan.

Though he didn't know why that guy had come here today but this was a great chance to kill a guy who had climbed up after hiding in the clan for so long.

But Gwanje shook his head.

'It's too much.'

He could probably do it.

But in order to kill that guy he would need to charge in, hold them down and lure the Margoths to crash into them.

The next stage was too important for him to risk so much danger.

Since the guys, who already didn't listen to him, would be impossible to control if he didn't exist.

He had to quickly finish off here, regroup with the Ursa Major members he had already sent off and focus on the work at the next location.

'Since these guys don't even listen to the leader that well already.'

Rerorerore clan.

A chaotic clan full of screwed up people.

The pinnacle of this example was the Ursa Major.

The Ursa Major members had only joined under Gwanje for profit.

Of course they wouldn't participate in such a dangerous work like this.

There was a reason why Gwanje, the clan leader, had to lure the Margoths himself.

'Though I wanted to give them a small gift but… Is the guy next to him Hansoo? Damn. It wouldn't even count as a small gift.'

He thought that he would be able to kill at least a third of them but the Crown clan was safely backing off due to the guy who threw the booming golden spear in the distance.

'I'll let you live a bit longer.'

If things go according to his plan, that guy wouldn't be able to survive anyway.

The moment Gwanje looked back at Bali Roper with a regretful expression, something got caught in his eyes.

His eyes which had been enhanced to supernatural levels allowed him to identify the thing that was shaking back and forth on his neck.

Gwanje made an expression of despair as he saw this.

'Huh… My daughter's necklace? He had it.'

The necklace which he couldn't find despite searching for hours from the corpse of his daughter.

At that moment Gwanje felt something snap within his head.

..................…..

'He saw it.'

Bali Roper made a content expression as he saw Gwanje's expression.

But Roper couldn't see it because he was focused on Gwanje.

That Hansoo was glaring at him from his back.

'I wondered who had sinned against that guy, it was this guy huh.'

Hansoo laughed coldly.

Chapter 115: Gragos (5)

Gwanje prepared to go in with a neutral expression.

'I must take back that necklace.'

Of course the fact that taking the neck where the necklace was a definite thing.

He needed to hurry

The Capucios will stop chasing them once they get into the ant tunnels and he wouldn't be able to kill those guys by himself at that point.

He needed to chase them while the Capucios could catch up to them.

Gwanje touched his waist.

'I'll use this.'

'…Damn. Tens of thousands?'

Gwanje's hands flinched.

It felt like that he will really go crazy if he couldn't get ahold of that guy in front of his eyes.

But the thought of tens of thousands of people dying kept on delaying his actions.

While Gwanje was pondering over this problem, a line of voice rang out from an unknown location.

Gwanje clenched his teeth at that moment.

'Damnit.'

The others would've almost reached the Forest of Horns by now.

He needed to go as well.

In order to control them.

'I'll visit there before I go.'

He needed to calm himself down after getting so worked up.

Gwanje looked at Bali Roper with a glare filled with rage for the last time and then flew towards the ant tunnels.

..................….

'Is he leaving?'

Hansoo frowned as he looked at Gwanje backing off in the distance.

'It's a bit regrettable.'

Hansoo momentarily made an regretful expression.

He was going to throw Bali Roper out as a bait if that guy charged at him and then capture him.

But that guy somehow managed to suppress down his rage and then backed off.

Of course there still was something that he had gained from this short encounter.

"Bali Roper. Amazing. Looking forward to working with you more."

"…Mmm? Oh okay."

Bali Roper felt strange from Hansoo's sudden compliments but he just thought of it as Hansoo praising his skills and just ignored it.

'It seems like I'll be able to use this guy in the future. I should keep him alive and well.'

Hansoo labeled Bali Roper a useful bait and then looked at his surroundings.

Though many clansmen had died, they had maintained quite a large amount of force.

He just needed to quickly regroup with the Akarons and help them.

Forest of Horns was basically where the Margoths lived in.

It wouldn't be easy even for the five pillars that protected the Priest.

At that moment a single carrier pigeon flew towards Hansoo.

There was the direction where they had headed towards that Sangjin had scouted written down on the carrier pigeon.

'Past the 11th region… past the 14th… towards the 19th region huh.'

11th region located above the thorax region and the 14th region that was located on the neck.

And the 19 region that was located on the back side of the head of the Margoths.

Soon Hansoo realized what the destination of these people were.

'Forest of Horns. They're going to the Forest of Horns.'

Forest of Horns.

The name of the forest located between the two giant mountain-like horns upon the huge head of the Gragos.

The destinations of the Akarons and these people were the same.

Of course it might just be a coincidence.

Though it was called a forest, it was actually extremely wide and vast.

The location of controlling the Gragos that the Akaron were headed towards was located in this forest as well.

The Forest of Horns was a location that the clans used very frequently due to the high level skills and artifacts that drop there.

But the destinations and the times overlapped each other too perfectly.

'…These guys. Did they put the Graphite in here in order to drag out the Akarons.'

How did these guys know about this?

And how did they know to get to the Forest of Horns?

At that moment another possibility was thought of in Hansoo's head.

'There's another Akaron.'

An Akaron that had gifted Gwanje the body enhancement surgery and the intel.

An Akaron who couldn't show itself to the other Akarons and was doing this because of a reason.

...................

"I'm here you damned bastard."

An Akaron who was making an arrogant expression nodded as he spoke.

"You're still arrogant. I'll allow that much since you're useful."

Gwanje snorted inwardly.

A guy who had all sorts of glamorous artifacts hung around his body despite being holed up in a corner.

Akarons couldn't even use those artifacts.

The Akaron over there, who called himself a previous Great Priest, had these artifacts dangling upon his body in order to disguise himself.

'He's like a King of a fallen country.'

But his own situation was much worse.

Since he couldn't even go against that guy's words.

The Akaron seemed like it had guessed his intentions, it laughed coldly as it spoke.

"Don't act around as you want. You and I made a contract."

Gwanje clenched his teeth at those words.

His chances of survival when he had jumped into the Reflux Organ 4 years ago due to Bali Roper was actually 0%.

Since he had received quite a deep injury and had to take care of his unconscious wife as well.

And the reason why he had been able to live was because of the Akaron that was in front of his eyes.

The guy who called himself the Great Priest.

Right before he fell unconscious, the Akaron dragged him out and then whispered into his ear.

And when he had woken up everything had changed.

An overflowing amount of strength and a powerful body.

To the point where he had thought that he had been reborn at first.

But he knew instantly.

That this guy hadn't given this surgery to him out of generosity.

The Akaron said these words to him back then.

And as the Akaron in front of his eyes threw a bit of incense, his body forcibly knelt in front of the Akaron.

'Damnit.'

Gwanje clenched his teeth after thinking of back then.

Since he had to work crazily since then.

In order to accomplish the thing this guy wanted him to.

It wasn't hard.

Since the intel and the strength that this guy had given him were not just a bit.

Gwanje calmed down his mind and then spoke towards the Akaron.

"The Akarons popped out after we petrified the body fluid like you told me to."

"Yeah. They'll need to move."

The Akaron laughed coldly.

They needed to get to the Forest of Horns in order to move the Gragos to another Gragos.

How could they remain hidden after getting the black warning even if they were hidden so well.

"We're almost there. Just catch them all. Killing a few is alright as well."

Gwanje frowned at the Akaron mumbling about how killing his own kind was fine.

How could a previous Great Priest talk about the lives of his own kind with such ease?

'That's why he got chased out by his own race.'

"… What are you trying to do?"

The Great Priest laughed coldly.

"You don't need to know about that. Don't cross the line. Just go finish off what you need to."

"…"

Gwanje grinded his teeth but he couldn't do anything

Though his body was suppressed, it wasn't perfect.

There were many ways he could dodge his control but he couldn't even if he wanted to.

'Mihyang my darling.'

The only person he could find comfort upon after the death of his daughter.

Gwanje looked at his wife who was sleeping like the dead behind the Akaron.

The Akaron laughed as if it had sensed that Gwanje was looking at her.

"It seems like my words were a bit harsh. It means that you don't need to care about it that much. I'll release your beloved as I promised. I'll also erase the controlling method inside your body. You just need to go to that Yellow Zone then. Simple right? It won't matter what happens here."

Gwanje set his mind from those words.

'Yeah. This is a trade. This is definitely not a bad thing.'

Though he had to work like a dog for 4 years, the reward wasn't bad.

Since he had escaped a lethal situation and had gained the strength to protect his wife.

He just needed to go up to the Yellow Zone after he was done with this.

'It's almost over.'

The contract was to lure out the hidden Akarons and to capture them.

He had gathered and increased his power and influence because of this.

Since he needed to be extremely strong as well in order to capture those strong Akarons.

But this was now all over.

Seeing the screwed up Ursa Majors and the Rerorerore clansmen was getting tiring.

He didn't have any ambitions of finding the Temple and taking control of the Gragos in the first place.

It was that he needed to put on air like this in order to create the clan.

After this he would be able to leave this damned Orange Zone.

"Ah. One more thing. If you meet those guys later…"

Gwanje frowned after hearing what the Akaron said.

'He has a real fucked up mind.'

But he had done what he needed to here.

His mind calmed down a bit more after seeing his wife and felt his sanity returning.

'Yeah. Right now… I must focus on the living instead of the dead.'

He had to act in order to save his living wife instead of being enraged because of his dead daughter.

Gwanje looked at his wife once more, got out of the dark ant tunnels and then quickly headed towards the head of the Gragos.

..................….

Kuooooo!

Taruhol landed on the ground after smashing the head of the giant herbivore-shaped Margoth Du Gracios with a body full of injuries.

Boom!

A huge soundwave resonated out and Ailen quickly ran upand started to look over Taruhol's body.

Taruhol shook his hands and pushed back Ailen.

"It's alright. You go and fight as well. There's a lack of manpower."

Taruhol mumbled as he saw the two giant horns in the distance.

The path of the Forest of Horns was much more intense than they had expected.

Since the numbers of Margoths had multiplied numerous times.

'…If we don't organize these guys then a disaster will happen. Anyways we're almost there.'

They just needed to get through the gap in between the cliff in front of their eyes.

The moment Taruhol turned to catch some breath, something flew in from the distance.

'What!'

Booooom!

The skill which had flown in from above the cliff flipped the grounds upside down and Taruhol, who had momentarily dropped his guard, prepared for the ambush.

At that moment a large shout was heard from above the cliff.

"You know I missed you on purpose right?"

And behind the woman, thousands of clansmen appeared on one of the cliffs.

Taruhol made an expression of disbelief at the human army.

'They were waiting?'

The path to the Forest of Horns was harsh beyond reason for humans.

Why were these guys there when there wouldn't have much to do here?

The woman above the cliff spoke while looking at that Taruhol.

"It seems like our friends from the clan will be a bit late. Let's just play around on our own until then. Oh and… Our clan leader told us to tell you something to you guys."

Then one of the members of the Ursa Major, Akaella, looked at the red carrier pigeon sent by Gwanje and made a confused expression.

'What does this mean?'

But there were many things they didn't understand that came from Gwanje.

Akaella just read the message on the carrier pigeon.

"Congratulations. My clan. You will soon be able to follow me, your first leader, all over again."

Taruhol and the priest, Oteon, made an expression of despair at those words.

First leader.

The only person arrogant enough to call himself the first leader that they knew of was one person.

Great Priest, Karbana.

The person who had fought with Mekido the Great patriarch, put on all blame and responsibility onto Mekido who had created the Body Enhancement Surgery when the Calamity of Death had hit and had run away.

'He wasn't dead huh.'

But they realized that this wasn't the time to worry about such things.

Taruhol clenched his teeth at the three Margoth level adventurers and the thousands of clansmen charging towards him as he went out to meet them.

'Hurry up Hansoo. I don't know how long I can keep up with this.'

Boooom!

Soon a huge shockwave and a loud sounds ran throughout the Forest of Horns.

..................…

'I need to hurry.'

Hansoo moved quickly.

It was a race for time.

Whether Gwanje and the other three Ursa Majors arrive first along with their forces.

Or him arriving first along with the Crown Clan's forces.

If they combine the two forces on both sides then the total strength was similar.

This was why the side which receives the reinforcement first will be at a much greater advantage.

'I must arrive there first.'

Bali Roper cried out while following behind him closely.

Why was he moving in such a hurry?

The sensation of his body moving in such a hurry without his own intentions was not quite a good feeling.

"Let's slow down a bit!"

Hansoo turned around and smiled kindly.

'Oh yeah, I had a secret weapon'

If the thing that could move the enemy leader was not a secret weapon then what would it be?

"Oh yes. Our Bali Roper is a man who would do great things for us."

"…?"

'This feels a little bad for some reason.'

Bali Roper, who felt a chill, started to run even faster in order to get rid of the sensation.

Chapter 116: Gragos (6)

Boomboomboomboom!

A man was running through the ant tunnels.

Gwanje finally found his clansmen and the Ursa Major at the Rerorerore clan's main meeting location after a long run.

Jongsang, who had been waiting there, looked at Gwanje with a worried expression.

"Are you okay brat? How's your side?"

"What do you mean brat? I'm much stronger than you mister. This body is amazing. Don't worry around and let's proceed."

Jongsang was probably the only person who called him, the clan leader of the 2nd strongest clan in this place, a brat.

'Well. We were probably just brats when he rescued us back then.'

Gwanje looked at Jongsang and then clenched his teeth.

'Don't worry mister. The time for me to repay my debt to you has come.'

Jongsang rescued his wife and daughter without much thought.

Such actions probably didn't excite him or gave him any sort of amusement in the slightest.

But Gwanje had never forgotten about it.

'I will take you up with me Mister.'

He didn't know what that crazy guy who called himself the priest would do.

Since a hint of madness could be seen in his eyes from time to time.

And Gwanje knew what that meant.

His hurt pride, want for revenge and resentment.

The perfect emotions to drive somebody to the extremes.

How would a guy who didn't even care for the lives of his own race deal with the humans?

He couldn't leave mister in such a place like this.

'Well. Mister will probably argue that he's being kidnapped but there's no time to explain all of this thoroughly.'

He had prepared all the runes necessary anyway.

'But there's something I must do before that.'

Gwanje sent messages to the numerous scout teams of the Rerorerore clans who were spread all around and then shouted out to the people nearby.

"Gather up! There are some guys we need to capture first! There are people who are trying to interfere with our final project!"

The eyes of those who had been gathered here shined at those words.

They knew as well.

That the other guys were fighting with the Akarons at the place they were going to go to.

If they catch those guys then they can finish off the work for the Body Enhancement Surgery.

Who would dare to mess up their meal that has been completed already?

Jongsang asked with a confused expression.

"Who are you trying to catch?"

Gwanje shrugged his shoulders.

"Those Crown clansmen. This is the perfect time since they would be weakened."

"Huh? You're going to attack them first?"

Jongsang made a confused expression.

Gwanje looked at Jongsang and then smiled bitterly inwards.

'Damn. I know, mister.'

There was no real reason to fight them.

But the reason why Gwanje was hurrying was because of the final order of the priest.

'Damnit.'

Gwanje grinded his teeth at the voice that resonated throughout his head.

He could indeed win if they fought.

Though they only had 3 Margoth levels and the Crown clan had 5, there was a huge difference between the Margoth levels of the Crown clan and the Ursa Major.

So much that one Ursa Major can go up against two from the Crown Clan.

They might get pushed back by numbers but they would still be in an advantage.

And their forces had been screwed up by the assault of the Margoths.

'But it's still a useless fight.'

There was no need for a head-on collision.

It would be much more simple if they grouped up at the Forest of Horns but why did the priest make such decisions?

There was only one reason.

Gwanje thought of the words the priest had spoken to him.

The priest looked extremely delighted as it was talking to him.

'Of course he would be.'

Gwanje mumbled.

The priest had long been regretting the fact that he didn't have enough materials to control more people than himself only.

If he could then Gwanje wouldn't be the only one under his control.

He would've dragged them one by one and turned them into slaves.

How could he not be happy in a situation like this after finding Hansoo?

'Well. He would indeed have more of a use than me.'

Though he was strong, he had the Rerorerore clan that even he couldn't control.

Hansoo could control the giant Crown clan with the scents.

He asked the priest if he couldn't just use those scents to control the Crown clan but the priest just shook his head.

The scents were the same but the main part was the divine powers of each priest.

It seems that they couldn't control the divine powers of other priests.

'Well. It would really become chaotic if that was possible.'

What would happen if there were numerous owners for a single slave?

From what he saw, it seemed like the priests bickered with each other in the past for such a thing to have been invented.

Gwanje made an unsightly expression as he thought of Hansoo.

Though he himself might get released, he knew what would happen to Hansoo.

It seemed like the priest was going to take out the materials for controlling him and put them into Hansoo but then it was obvious that Hansoo would work even harder than himself.

'…It's not really befitting of the hero that saved the Red zone.'

Gwanje thought of Hansoo who was accomplishing the feats that he himself dreamt of and made a bitter expression.

If Gwanje left Hansoo alive then he might do something amazing in the Orange Zone again and save millions of more people.

'I can be a hero too.'

Gwanje chuckled.

If he committed suicide at this moment then he would also become a hero of the Orange Zone.

Since the things that mad priest wanted to do would end and that could cause millions if not tens of millions of people to die.

But Gwanje shook his head.

'Unnecessary.'

To him, becoming someone who can protect one person was better than being a hero to tens of millions of people.

He didn't know in the Red Zone but he realized it now.

'Capture him.'

The story was simple.

Use all their forces to catch Hansoo who would be heading to the Forest of Horns in a hurry.

Then it would be game over.

If it was like chess then it would basically be catching the King.

If it was like chess where you only needed to catch the King then it was clear which side had the advantage.

The priest reminded him again.

'Tsk.'

Gwanje received the reports from the scouts as he quickly moved.

...........................…

"…It seems like those guys are heading this way."

Kurururururu

Bali Roper made a grim expression after running for a while.

Though they were the middle of nowhere in the ant tunnels, it was still within the Rerorerore clan's territory.

There was no way such a large force like theirs would go unnoticed.

They could see countless carrier pigeons flying about around them and the speed at which they were being sent from each location was getting faster.

Which means that they were quickly heading towards them.

Hansoo laughed as he spoke.

"We fight here."

"…This crazy bastard."

Bali Roper shouted out in shock.

There wasn't a high chance of winning if they fought here.

Though they had four Margoth levels their individual strength was much lower than that of the Ursa Major.

The problem was that the ones in danger were only themselves.

'This bitch. Is he going to abandon us?'

But Bali Roper shook his head.

'No, he wouldn't throw us away that easily.'

He found out after a bit of observing.

This guy had a goal that he needed to accomplish by using them.

Hansoo himself might live if he runs away in this situation but the chances of him accomplishing that goal would become much much lower.

'Did those guys who left earlier go to do something?'

Bali Roper mumbled.

Tekilon and Sofía disappeared with Hansoo for a moment a while ago.

And after that, Tekilon and Sofía were gone, nowhere to be seen.

'What could those two guys do?'

Hansoo smiled at that Bali Roper and then threw the scent in all directions.

Chwaaaaak

"Uh?"

At that moment all of the Crown clansmen, who had been running at full speed, stopped in place.

While they were shocked, Hansoo laughed as he ran away.

"Stay well."

"Uh…Uhhh? Hey you crazy bastard!"

The scents prepared their bodies for a battle without their consent and Hansoo laughed at them as he started to run away.

.......................

Gwanje flinched momentarily at the carrier pigeons that were flying in.

'They want to have go at it?'

Why would they fight if they knew that they were going to lose?

But Gwanje made an extremely bitter expression at the extra carrier pigeons that flew in.

Hansoo had shoved all the Crown clansmen in place and was getting out through the side.

'I'm a bit disappointed.'

He had thought that Hansoo might've acted differently.

But for him to throw away everyone who had been following him, though they were under his control, and run away.

He had asked the scouts who were hiding in the corners of the ant tunnels just in case but Hansoo was indeed running away.

'…It's a huge miscalculation if he thinks that I'll fight with the remaining guys because of Bali Roper.'

Of course he wanted to rip apart Bali Roper.

But Hansoo sadly didn't consider the decisive factor.

'This is the decisive factor. Though he might've bought some time.'

Gwanje sighed.

He just needed to catch Hansoo.

Why would they collide in such a situation?

Gwanje sighed and looked at the surroundings as he spoke.

"Only the Ursa Majors will go. The rest of you stay here on standby."

In a situation like this these guys would only get in the way due to their slow speed.

In an instant the three from the Ursa Major quickly started to head into the ant tunnels.

'I'll catch up to you in just a moment.'

This was their territory.

Catching him would be instant if they went through the shortcuts.

The priest's mumbles could be heard in his head after a long run.

'A tail?'

Gwanje thought of something that he had received as a report a while back.

Sofía and a normal-looking guy had escaped somewhere.

'Are they… perhaps following my scent from behind?'

But Gwanje shook his head.

Though it wasn't impossible, following them with just the scent was too hard.

And there was no reason that the priest would leave behind such trails.

'So it's Sofía's ability huh.'

Sofía's trait was too famous.

If they followed that then it wouldn't be impossible.

But Gwanje sighed.

'Only two? They're looking down on the great priest too much.'

......................

The great priest smiled as he looked at the male and female that were approaching him.

'I don't know how you did it but… Amazing.'

The great priest actually worried about such a thing.

Since there were a lot of amazing abilities out of those traits the humans had.

But there was a reason why he didn't run away.

"Good job getting all the way here. But you can't think of me as just a priest."

The Great Priest, Karbana, stood up as the artifacts on his body dangled and clanked against each other.

Kurururururu

He wasn't any priest.

Great Priest.

His body's abilties were also at its peak.

Kududududk

As he poured strength into his body the surrounding air trembled.

A body that was comparable to the warriors that protected the Temple, the Garde-Barongs.

'Dumbasses. Huhu.'

If that Hansoo guy had disappeared then he would've prepared for it.

But he had constantly received reports through Gwanje.

'It would barely be enough if a Margoth level came but for him to send these guys?'

Sofía shrugged as she looked at the Great Priest who was making a confident expression as she spoke.

"I'm gonna back off now. Oh yeah. Give back the earring. There's no reason to hide it after you've gotten all the way here."

Tekilon, who had been standing next to Sofía, took off his earring.

"Thank you. I'll handle it from here. Stand back."

Kudududk

Suddenly Tekilon's body started to change.

And the power of the runes that couldn't be seen due to the suppression got released.

At the same time the powerful aura of mana came out from Hansoo's body as it started to fill up the priest's residence.

Kudududk

'This is much more easier to catch the King.'

Hansoo loosened up his body and laughed as he looked at the Great Priest who had a shocked expression on him.

Chapter 117: Tiradus (1)

Boooom!

Gwanje freaked out at the sudden voice of the priest that resonated throughout his head.

'The priest cannot die!'

Actually the priest's death didn't really matter much to him but his wife might get swept up in that chaos.

The moment Gwanje was about to move out, a marble that shone with extremely bright light flew through the ant tunnels and into Gwanje and the Ursa Majors.

Zooom!

The marble that traveled over hundreds of meters in an instant tried to smash into Gwanje's head as he was about to set off.

'Damnit!'

Gwanje clenched down his teeth and punched towards the Marble.

He was in a rush.

He would've ignored most attacks but if he ignored this then his head might fall off.

Woosh!

Gwanje clenched his teeth and looked at the Margoth levels from the Crown clan who were rushing towards him after smashing away the bright marble.

'Bali Roper.'

"Damnit! Damnit!!"

Bali Roper was rushing towards him with a extremely scrunched up expression.

Of course the true meaning behind it was not rage but rather closer to fear.

Since he really didn't want to go against Gwanje.

'This damned scent!'

Gwanje's rage finally exploded out after seeing Bali Roper rushing towards him with the dangling necklace in order to disturb with his work.

"This bastard, until the very end!!!"

Soon Gwanje, who was trying to penetrate through no matter what, and Bali Roper, who was blocking with his life on the line, clashed in the middle of the ant tunnels.

................................

Boooom!

Hansoo mumbled as he looked at the Akaron in front of his eyes after smashing him lightly with the Forked Lightning.

'I think I know who it is.'

Elkadion's memory crystal.

Though he could read Elkadion's memories, he couldn't know of every single Akaron that was in there.

And there was also the fact that most Akarons looked similar from a human's perspective.

But the great priest in front of his eyes, Karbana, had quite a deep impression within the memory crystal.

A bastard who threw all the responsibilities of the Calamity of Death to the patriarch and tried to take over his position during the chaos.

The people didn't know but the likelihood of the great calamity a year after that having been caused by this guy was very high.

'I don't know what you were trying to do but let me cut you off here.'

Hansoo finished off this thoughts as he pierced with his spear.

Chiiiiiik

The location that the Forked Lightning struck had spores starting to grow on them.

Most of the artifacts on Karbana's body were destroyed and his body was in a mess.

"Uwaaaaaa!"

It seemed like his beast-like instincts still remained whilst his perception was in chaos from the Perception Destruction skill.

The great priest roared as he smashed Hansoo the way his body told him to.

Booom!

Duduk

The king's armor, Thousand Soldiers Armor, made crackling noises as a crack appeared upon it.

At the same time the arm that had been enhanced by the body enhancement surgery creaked.

'Mmm.'

Hansoo frowned slightly.

The great priest's battle strength was extremely high.

At the same time the liquid metal inside his body, that hadn't quite settled, bubbled up from inside his body.

'Tsk. I have to hurry and solve this problem as well.'

Hansoo frowned at the pain which felt like his whole body was being skewered.

But it didn't matter.

While Hansoo was about to slowly pinch down on him, the priest quickly backed off tens of meters as he grasped the unconscious woman.

And then shouted out loudly.

"You're here! Kill him quickly!"

'Did he come already… Though he came alone.'

As Hansoo turned around, he saw Gwanje who was covered in blood from head to toe.

Gwanje, who was panting despite his superhuman body due to having rushed so quickly, looked at the female within the priest's hands and clenched onto his teeth.

Hansoo looked back and forth between these two people as he nodded.

'It seems like she's a hostage.'

Hansoo looked at the priest and then nodded.

One couldn't give out detailed orders with the scent.

And how hard one worked in order to fulfill the order was still in the control of the one being controlled.

'Well. At least the hostage will make him work hard.'

And as Hansoo guessed, Gwanje clenched onto his teeth and charged towards him as the priest laughed coldly towards that Gwanje and then sighed.

'Good. The scents work well but it's a bit problematic.'

He needed to spread the scent again in order to change the orders of telling him to rush here to killing Hansoo but there was no time.

Using a hostage was much quicker.

'Keep fighting. Kuhuu.'

It seemed like Gwanje had been injured slightly but that didn't matter.

Since slaves existed for their owners in the first place.

Since he just needed to change the orders while he fought, rest up and then join with him later.

While the priest was laughing coldly, Hansoo took a glance at Gwanje who was rushing up to him and just ignored him.

And then he gathered up all the strength in his body and struck the spear towards the heart of the priest.

Shooooo

"No!"

Gwanje, who was charging at Hansoo, freaked out as he screamed.

His wife would die before the priest at this rate.

But Hansoo's thoughts were quite laid back.

Since he knew that the priest had no room for leisure.

'He wouldn't be able to even use her as a shield, would be still hold onto her?'

It seemed like he forgot during the chaos but that woman had no effect as a hostage against Hansoo.

The priest seemed to have realized this as he made a demonic expression, threw away the female that he was holding onto and then shouted out loudly.

"Block! Block him!"

He then threw the scents towards Gwanje and tried to escape somewhere.

'Damn. I'll have to look for another chance in the future.'

Folding after accomplishing the things to this point was quite regrettable but he had at least succeeded in dragging out the Akarons.

Then it was okay.

He needed to get out of this place first.

At that moment Hansoo shouted out.

"Sofía !"

At that moment Sofía , who was in the corner in order to not get swept up in the battle, threw her jade marbles towards Gwanje.

Chujujujuk

At that moment Gwanje's entire body froze up.

Of course this much wasn't even close to giving Gwanje a large amount of damage.

Gwanje seemed to have realized this as he broke the ice around his body and tried to smash Hansoo.

If a line of words from Hansoo hadn't been heard.

"Stay still right there. Isn't that enough? You didn't receive an order that said ."

Hansoo knew of the weakness of the scent more than anybody since he used it himself.

Flinch

Gwanje flinched at those words.

'Oh yeah…'

The scents that had been thrown to him couldn't get to him due to the ice prison around him.

He had indeed accomplished the order per the scents.

Gwanje tried to pour strength into his body as a test.

And his body, which had accomplished the orders, wasn't being controlled by the scents as he was allowed to move his body.

"Stay there."

Hansoo left behind Gwanje who was making a strange expression as he chased the priest through the ant tunnels.

Like a hunter chasing a wounded beast.

Sofía slowly walked as she approached Gwanje who was standing there frozen as an ice statue.

"This woman is your wife? Girlfriend?"

Gwanje cautiously moved his body in order to not break the ice.

'Wife.'

"Hmm…"

Sofía shook her head as she saw Gwanje coming to save his wife despite becoming covered in blood.

"I don't really like you but… This woman has no sins. I'll look after her so just stay there for a bit. Since the scents will rush up to you if you break the ice."

'Okay.'

The moment he came outside the ice the scents will order him to attack Hansoo.

Then Hansoo may lose the priest.

Gwanje stood in within the ice prison and looked at his wife in a daze.

'…Could we go back to how we were in the past even if she woke up.'

Gwanje, who finally had the leisure to look around, sighed deeply.

..........................

The priest clenched his teeth after a long run.

The situation behind him was clear.

A failure.

And soon he will be caught.

Boooom!

Karbana, who had smashed off the spear that had flown towards him once more, pondered for a bit.

What to do.

'Is this it?'

Was achieving the Crown of Thorns after reaching the top of the Akarons and acquiring the old territory really not possible anymore?

The priest realized it quickly.

'Yeah it's impossible.'

This was the end.

The guy behind him had no reason to keep him alive and even if he were to get out from here, there was no point.

What would he be able to do alone?

'Then… There's no point in dying alone.'

He couldn't acquire the glory.

Then the best method at this point was erasing all of history.

The entire history of the fallen Akaron.

And that was simple.

As long as there was nobody to remember it.

'I'd rather not be remembered by anybody than being remembered as a failed race.'

The priest laughed coldly as he started to run towards the Reflux Organ.

'Dumbass. Is there a necessity to go that far just to call out the Akarons?'

His plans were quite simple.

Go above the white lion, Lazar after taking control of the Akaron.

And then sink the dirty humans.

"Hoo…Hooh."

The priest looked at the giant Reflux Organ in front of his eyes.

Crackle

The Graphite was slowly being cracked apart by the flowing liquids in the organ.

'I remember burying the rest of the Graphites around here somewhere.'

The priest looked around for a moment and then soon found the Graphites that were buried deep within the ground.

Tens of tons of Graphites were buried deep within the ground of the ant tunnels.

'This is more than enough for the Gragos to take a bath.'

This was the final chance.

The humans weren't stupid, after this chaos they will guard this location like a fortress.

Kududuk

As the priest shoved his hands down, tons of Graphites were lifted up by the priest.

The moment the priest tried to throw the boulder into the Reflux Organ, he flinched for a moment.

'…Why are there no spears coming this way?'

That damned spear should've flown towards him and attacked him already.

Karbana looked towards the ant tunnels due to his confusion but then he could see Hansoo who was looking towards the Reflux Organ in a troubled manner.

And realized why he hadn't thrown the spear.

Kururururu

Margoth Du Capucio.

The ones who had been lured here due to Gwanje had remained behind at the Reflux Organ and were gulping down the body fluids.

These things seemed to still be angered as they were still growling out in a rough manner even whilst drinking the fluids.

'The Divine Beast is helping me.'

And as if he had come out from a different ant tunnel, there was quite a distance from him and Hansoo.

If those things roamed around then it was obvious that even Hansoo couldn't throw his spear around any way he wanted.

Since he will attract their attention in an instant.

The priest's head started to quickly set out a plan.

'This… I might be able to survive if I'm lucky.'

He knew of a secret place where he would live even if the Gragos were to take a turn.

Except that he would've been caught by that guy before he even reached that location.

But if the Margoths were there like that and Hansoo needed to work quickly in order to solve the Graphite problem then he might be able to live.

'Someone at your level would survive if the Gragos took a turn but let's see if you really can.'

The priest laughed coldly as he threw the Graphite boulder.

Hoooong!

The giant green boulder cut across the air as it flew into the Reflux Organ.

Kurururur

The Margoths looked at that boulder and then ignored it as it didn't pose much threat to them.

Since their stomachs were quite full for them to get angry at that.

'Try blocking it.'

At that moment Hansoo looked towards him and then mumbled something.

'You… can't live?'

Karbana snorted.

What would that guy be able to do?

At that moment Hansoo applied something onto the spear as he ignored the Graphite and then threw the Forked Lightning.

Zooooom!

The priest looked at the spear and then smiled.

'Aiming for me?'

Boooom!

The Forked Lightning smashed into his body.

Kuduk

The pain made his whole body squirm and scrunch up but the priest just smiled in leisure.

'Good. Very good.'

Kyaaaaak!

The Margoths who were drinking at the organ reacted to the golden spear that flew through the air.

They all felt how the spear made them feel earlier.

Soon the Margoths smelled an unknown scent that pierced through their noses and then turned around.

Same for Karbana.

Karbana could only freak out at the scent that permeated out from the spear that smashed into him.

'Scent! Stimulant Scent! Damn! What did he do in order for them to give him a thing like this!'

The Stimulant scent that he had given Gwanje was extremely dangerous so it was only allowed to be held by the Garde-Barong who protected the temple or the priest themselves.

How could they give such a thing to an outsider?

'What is this… Did he save the entire race or something?'

Roar!

The Margoth's eyes soon turned red as they started to madly charge towards Karbana.

Karbana clenched his teeth and tried to run as he saw the scene of over 20 of the 1km tall lifeforms rushing towards him.

Since the distance between him and them were getting short at a rapid pace.

Puff

At that moment something started to puff up from his body.

'This is!'

What were these sticky mucus that were covering his entire body?

He could see Hansoo who had sat down on the ground as if he had exhausted all his mana.

"Damnit!"

Karbana clenched his teeth and quickly tried to rip apart the bundles of spores that were around his body.

Dudududuk

Though it wasn't easy to rip apart the binds on his body that were created from a large amount of mana but he still had a Margoth-level body.

Though his muscles were in a mess and there were cracks in his bones, it could still show off a mighty strength.

'Done!'

But the moment the priest escaped the mucus that held down his body, he felt his surroundings get darker.

'…Uh?'

Rip

At that moment.

Karbana got ripped apart along with the Graphite that he was standing upon.

.........................

Kyaaaak!

Hansoo, who had been looking at the Margoth Du Capucios who were in a frenzy in order to rip apart a small object even whilst fighting with each other, retrieved the Forked Lightning as he started to walk back towards the tunnel.

'Tsk. I wanted to keep him alive and use him. Well he dropped quite a bit.'

There were many artifacts that he had dropped on the way.

And quite a lot of them were useful as well.

Hansoo made a confused expression after returning back while picking up the artifacts like Hansel and Gretel.

'…Mmm?'

"Uwaaa! What is this!"

Hansoo frowned as he looked at Gwanje who had broken through the ice and was making a ruckus.

Chapter 118: Tiradus (2)

Hansoo quickly rushed towards where the noise came from after hearing the strange shouts of Gwanje.

Three people could be seen inside the priest's living quaters.

The most unique looking one out of those was the woman who was the hostage previously.

"Aaak! Aaaak! Kyaaaak!"

"Please do something about this!"

The female who looked to be korean squirmed her whole body and made an expression full of pain.

She couldn't even scream as if it was extremely painful.

The one screaming was of course Gwanje who had been looking next to him.

'Damnit! What is this! Why is this happening! Why!'

Gwanje was flustered.

The moment he realized that the controlling method had been broken apart he broke out of the ice and woke up his wife, Mihyang.

It was good up to this point.

But why was his wife wringing around in pain like this?

Sofia frowned at the sight of these two and then pushed back Gwanje.

"Move."

Crackle

Sofia applied a few more skills onto her freezing jade skill and then froze Gwanje's wife whole.

Though she was a hostage, her body should still be at the level of a newcomer to the Orange Zone.

Though her bodily metabolism would decrease, she wouldn't die from this.

"Huuu…".

Gwanje made a dejected expression at the sight of his wife who seemed to have fallen asleep again within the ice and then fell down.

'Will she be in pain like this from now on?'

Then letting his wife sleep like this for eternity was the best option for her.

Hansoo approached behind Gwanje and then swept the woman with mana.

And then realized the reason for her pain.

'He used this woman as a storage device.'

Liquid metal.

He had stored the few remaining silvery liquids that were leftover after forming Gwanje's body inside the woman's body.

It wouldn't've mattered if she was asleep but the moment she was awake the liquid had gone on a rampage.

"It's a side effect of the bodily enhancement surgery. She would be in a huge amount of pain."

She wouldn't die since the amount of the liquid was much less than what was in his body but that was probably the limit.

She will suffer from intense pain the moment she wakes up again.

While Gwanje was making a pained expression from the explanation, Hansoo spoke out.

"This is good."

"What? This bastard!"

Hansoo shook his head as he saw Gwanje who was trying to punch him.

"I don't mean that it's good for me but I'm saying that it's good for you."

"…?"

Gwanje growled as he stared at Hansoo's mouth.

Hansoo didn't speak anything as he showed Gwanje his own injury.

Gwanje made an expression of disbelief at something silvery that was bubbling like squirming like bugs within the injury on his arm.

"You..This…"

"My situation is very similar as well."

Gwanje's expression of disbelief turned even more exaggerated.

'No way. He withstood through the pain all along?'

He knew that pain as well.

Since that great priest had showed him what happened to his body once it failed.

Actually the pain was not something that humans can withstand.

And his wife had also screamed out to the point of ripping apart her throat.

No, this guy's pain was probably not even comparable to his wife's.

Though his enhancement surgery had gone well, he was filled up with the silvery liquid all over his body.

'What the hell are you?'

Hansoo spoke as he looked at that Gwanje.

"Work for me."

Though the cure for the body enhancement surgery and the cure for the calamity of death were completely different, their core materials were the same.

.

The most powerful Margoth of all.

A thing that ate Margoth Du Gracioses as their main diet and Margoth Du Capucios as dessert.

'Though it would be hard to acquire it, it'll be like catching two birds with one stone. Anyways, there's a lot of places to use it.'

Befitting of the great priest title, there were plenty of rare elixirs that Oteon the priestess didn't have.

Items of the temple that could all impact the Gragos and the Margoths.

Gwanje pondered for a moment while Hansoo was searching around the living quarters of the Great Priest but he made a decision.

'There's no reason to not hear it out if there indeed is a method to solve this. Hoo… My blood sugar level is dropping.'

Gwanje took out a graphite candy, Greenlight, and then spoke towards Hansoo as he threw it.

"You eat one too. Anyways, what do I have to do?"

"We need more Margoth levels. I hope I could receive the help of those in your clan…"

Weaklings weren't needed in catching the Tiradus.

Since they wouldn't even be able to catch up.

Gwanje made a helpless expression.

The four including Bali Roper had died by his hands.

And two of the Ursa Major had died during the process as well.

'Well they deserved those deaths.'

If those guys were thrown in Korea then they'll be convicted with at least 2000 charges.

And only on rape and murder cases.

Anyways, there were only three left in the Rerorerore clan.

"Those three probably won't listen as well. They don't really listen to my orders that well."

"Don't worry. You just need to follow my orders."

Hansoo laughed after sending a red carrier pigeon into a direction as he chewed down upon the Greenlight.

..................…..

"What is this. Why is he telling us to stop fighting."

Akaella, one of the Ursa Major who had gone into the Forest of Horns in order to chase the Akarons, frowned as she read the carrier pigeon that had flown in.

Akaella made an uncomfortable expression as she looked at the two giant horns in the distance.

'I don't wanna be here that long.'

Though Akaella ran around the Gragos as if it was a small playground, if she could pick out a place she didn't want to go to then it would be this Forest of Horns.

Since both the things that she hated were located here.

'I don't know when that crazy bitch, Enbi Arin, is going to get here.'

Akaella looked towards the other two Ursa Majors and spoke.

"What shall we do?"

Altarim and Starring pondered for a moment and then shook their heads.

Though they had sent them in, it would be quite burdensome for them to fight as them three.

Since five of the Akarons were quite powerful.

It was better to regroup to finish them off than overexerting themselves.

"Standby. We would only receive more casualties if we fight by ourselves. That person should have some form of a plan."

"…Hmm. He shouldn't be thinking of anything different."

Akaella's pretty eyes frowned once more.

Since it was a bit regretful.

'I can't always stay in this lower zone and clean around.'

Body enhancement surgery.

She had been enticed by that strength and stayed around Gwanje.

The vitality of his body which mended broken bones in an instant and survived through drinking poison was too tempting.

He could also stay underneath the water without breathing for greatly extended periods of time.

This was the reason why she had stayed here and not gone up to the Yellow Zone despite having attained the Margoth level for 4 years.

Waiting here while the goal was right in front of her eyes was making her jittery.

'There's nothing I can do about this.'

"Hey. My foot. While we rest."

"…Yes."

"Hyuro. Puppy."

Akaella extended her foot towards a pretty man whom she had picked out personally.

Though his strength was just at the level of a 5th year, she had picked him out because of his looks.

'Well. I would be quite busy if I was in the other zone, I should enjoy this for a bit.'

She felt good as a man who looked like a handsome actor was licking her foot.

Altarim and Starring looked at this scene as they clicked their tongues but then started to polish their weapons, the axe and the nunchucks.

Since they needed to due to the excessive amounts of blood.

"Anyways, we're all grouping here? How long do we have to stay here?"

The moment Altarim finished speaking, something charged towards them at an extreme speed.

Ooooooong.

Akaella frowned as she looked at the distance.

'…One's the clan patriarch. Who's that person next to him?'

Gwanje had something dangling upon his side as he was flying.

Booooom!

A dust cloud was created as Gwanje landed.

The moment Akaella looked at the person on his side that seemed to have become a hostage to him.

Hansoo who had come in with a look of being suppressed by Gwanje also looked over those guys.

An expression that wasn't nervous at all.

Gwanje was covered in blood and their numbers were two.

But they had three.

'It was true that they didn't treat him much like a patriarch.'

Their attitudes told him immediately.

Since one woman didn't even bother to get up as she just received her foot massage.

'Well. Anyways, I gotta let Gwanje take care of this from here. Why did he throw me so hard though.'

Smack!

"Kuuu…"

Hansoo rolled about on the ground after getting thrown while being tied up by metal chains.

Akaella looked at Hansoo who had been thrown on the ground while being completely tied up and then remembered something.

'Is that the guy that old man Jongsang was speaking about? That rookie from the Red Zone. It seems that he wasn't that much.'

She could have these thoughts as she saw Hansoo rolling around the floor.

Akaella coldly laughed at Hansoo as she spoke towards Gwanje.

"Our Patriarch seems to know alchemy as well. Trading away those three crazy guys for a single weakling."

Where did he send off those three maniacs from the Ursa Majors including Gordon and bring a guy like this?

Gwanje coughed out blood as he spoke.

"Hoo… They're all dead. The three from the Ursa Major. They got ambushed by this guy."

"What?"

Akaella freaked out.

Was this guy strong enough to the point where he could smash apart the three from the Ursa Major and even injure Gwanje to this extent?

Gwanje added more words in order to clarify.

"This brat allied with the Crown Clan. He had brought four Margoth levels including Bali Roper. Hoo…"

"Mmm…"

Akaella finally nodded as if she had understood.

Since the guys from the Crown Clan were quite formidable.

They weren't 3rd just for show.

'It seems they had ambushed them perfectly when we had split our forces in two. Quite formidable. Well, though we won anyway.'

Akaella clicked her tongue for a bit, kicked away the guy who was licking her foot and then got ready.

"Anyways why did you bring that guy? And why did you tell us to stop fighting?"

Gwanje smiled confidently at those words.

"Don't be surprised. It seems that this guy knows the location of the Temple. I heard it personally."

"Uh? Without catching an Akaron?"

"Look at his body."

Akaella and the other two from the Ursa Major looked over Hansoo's body at that moment.

And then exclaimed out.

"As expected…"

There were clear signs of the body enhancement surgery on this guy's body.

Which meant that this guy clearly had a connection with the Akarons and the Temple.

And even to the point of remembering the Temple unlike Gwanje.

'Then there's not really a need to fight with the Akarons.'

Their goal was the Body Enhancement Surgery, not war.

Gwanje smiled at those three as he spoke.

"You understand right? You've done well so far. Isn't it about time for you to receive your reward?"

Gwanje then whispered very quietly to the three.

"Actually there's only one thing I ask of you. After you get this, just go up."

"…?"

Gwanje shrugged at the confused expressions.

"The moment I learned of the location of the Temple from this guy I wanted to just go and destroy it instantly. Since all the other clans will crowd up in order to receive the surgery if they hear about it. But then there's no way you guys would agree."

Akaella nodded.

There were a lot of Baladi levels.

For all of them to become a Margoth level.

The factor of strength that played a huge role in control would get smashed apart in an instant.

"And I can't ignore the fact that I found the temple forever. Since you guys won't stay still. But then once you guys get this you will become much more stronger than I am."

Akaella nodded at these words.

Since he was perfectly correct.

To push back finding the temple while not fighting with the Akarons despite being right in front of them?

They themselves would not stand still.

"So let's make a contract. I want to stay here a bit more. You know my plan. I want to tame the Gragos. But if strong people like you exist then it'll be hard to control others. Please just quietly go up."

Akaella finally knew of Gwanje's thoughts.

If they go up then all the Ursa Majors will disappear and only Gwanje will remain.

Then since they can't attack the Akarons, pushing back the search for the Temple would be a viable excuse and he would be able to lead the clan the way he wanted to during that time.

'This guy wants to control the Gragos to that extent? This crazy guy. There are plenty of other things if you wanted a pet.'

Akaella clicked her tongue but nodded as there was nothing bad about this.

They wouldn't have any reason to stick around anyway after they received the surgery.

And it was burdensome for them to fight after their forces had been dwindled.

"Good. Let's get out by ourselves first."

They all knew that the Ursa Major's personalities were quite bad so nobody approached them while they rested anyway.

So the only people here were the four of them and Hansoo who had been caught as a hostage.

"Why is this guy trembling so much anyway?"

Gwanje coldly laughed as Akaella saw Hansoo who was trembling since a while ago without a single word.

"Look well. This guy tried to fight me not long after the Body Enhancement Surgery took place. Because of this the metals didn't stick and turned him into a mess."

Akaella made an expression full of fear after scanning Hansoo's body.

'Oh my god… His whole innards should be destroyed at this level.'

Akaella instantly dropped a large amount of her guard against this guy.

Since she didn't think that he would be able to move with so much pain running through his body.

'We should be careful after we receive the enhanced body as well.'

"Let's go."

The five moved the clan into a safe place and then started to fly towards a direction.

And Hansoo slightly smiled while being held hostage under them.

'Well I didn't really lie. Since they will indeed be successful in enhancing their body.'

Of course they would fall under his control at the same time since they would receive the controlling treatment.

Hansoo closed his eyes as he thought of the priestess, Oteon, who would be following them from a distance.

Chapter 119: Tiradus (3)

Kuuuuooo

Forest of Horns.

Trees that grew hundreds of meters tall between the two horns.

There were giant lifeforms that moved past these trees as they broke them down.

Crackle

Smash

The giant Margoth Du Gracioses smashed their head down onto the ground and bit off the skin of the Gragos as they always had.

In order to drink up the body fluids.

Crunch

Kuoooo?

The Gracioses made a confused expression while they were biting the ground.

Since the liquids that should have been gurgling out didn't come out at all.

The Margoths frowned as they growled.

They knew why this was the case.

This was when the body fluids of the being that they lived upon was lacking.

Something like this would happen because of that.

Kuooooo!

The biggest Margoth Du Gracios that acted as the leader raised its head and shouted.

They just needed to move towards a location where there was more fluid if it wasn't enough.

Though it was empty here, a more plentiful location would come out once they head towards the tail.

Guooooo!

At that moment a cry that resonated throughout the forest rang out.

Soon hundreds of Gracioses started to move.

In order to find a location where the body fluids will appear.

In order to find a location where their group could survive.

And the location they were headed to had humans located on it.

.......................

Bubblebubblebubble

Gwanje clicked his tongue at the giant silver container where the work would be progressing.

The three who were prepared to jump out the moment anything suspicious happened.

The three had accounted for one of them finishing first and causing harm to the other two so they had decided to go in at the same time.

Since they just needed to suppress Gwanje if he tried to do something weird.

But that didn't matter.

Since the controlling method was progressing the same time the Body Enhancement Surgery was.

As proof of that their wide open eyes were slowly closing.

'Your excessive greed is going to strangle you in the future.'

Gwanje ignored the three as he looked at Hansoo who was pretending to be stuck on the ground without being able to move.

And then thought of Hansoo's proposition.

"Tiradus. Tiradus huh… I've only heard about it, for such a thing to exist."

Gwanje mumbled as he looked at Hansoo.

He had never actually seen a Tiradus himself.

The reason why he knew about the Tiradus was because of a line from a piece of literature.

That one of their seniors, Kangtae, had left behind as a form of a book.

'Even if you say it like that… Who could actually go that deep into the Forest of Horns?'

Since there were a large amount of strong beasts within the Forest of Horns, it was often used as a hunting ground for high level clans.

There were three immediate outposts from the Rerorerore clans near the forest and another outpost from the strongest clan, , also existed nearby.

And 12 other different outposts for hunting were spread around the Forest of Horns and there were also locations where high level adventurers who weren't in clans visited often.

The location where the biggest amount of human forces were concentrated.

There were enormous amounts of people as well.

But no one would go deep within the Forest of Horns.

Since the Forest of Horns was infamous for its swarming numbers of Margoths.

There were a lot of food for the Margoths since there were more veins/arteries containing body fluids around the head and if you wanted to exaggerate a little bit, there were so many Margoths here that while you're trying to catch one, another one would be running towards you.

'If that thing eats these Margoths then… It should be humongous right?'

He was told that it ate these Margoths that towered multiple kilometers in length.

It was probably as large as a small mountain.

'I don't know how we're supposed to catch such a thing.'

While Gwanje was clicking his tongue, Hansoo dusted himself off the ground.

Which meant that the three people receiving the body modification surgery inside the tanks had fallen asleep.

Gwanje asked Hansoo.

"What are you going to do? Is it ten now?"

Himself, the enhanced three, Hansoo and the five pillars of the Akaron.

Ten total.

Hansoo nodded.

"If we look at a single Tiradus itself then… It's a possible feat."

"Which means it's impossible."

Gwanje frowned.

If they consider only a single Tiradus then it was possible.

Which meant that there was no way to deal with the Margoths they would meet on the way.

Since the Tiradus resided within the deepest parts of the forest.

"How are you going to deal with the other forces we have then?"

In Gwanje's head, they needed at least 15 to 20 more Margoth level people in order to get through the Margoths on the way.

Of course it might be enough if they collected everyone in the top 6 as well as the ones that roamed around separately.

But he was sure that it would still be impossible to kill the Tiradus even if they filled the numbers of 20 after catching those people.

"Are you trying to go on a conquest or something? If you want to gather that many Margoth level people then you would at least need to unify everything under the heavens."

Such a dream team wouldn't be possible unless they were to smash down every clan beneath their feet.

Hansoo sighed at those words.

He then spoke towards Gwanje.

"It… would probably be possible thanks to you. Sadly."

"What?"

"You ate too many Graphites."

"What are you saying?"

...........................

The captain of the shock troopers of the Rerorerore clan, Kanch, sighed and wiped his sword while he was resting in the middle of the Forest of Horns.

"Where did all those guys from the Ursa Major go? After leaving us behind here."

"Heh. If you get caught saying something like that you will die."

As his comrade next to him rebuked him, he replied in a depressing manner.

"They might be so incredible but how could they have a skill to hear things thousands of kilometers away. Anyways, don't we have no way of dealing with the Akarons without them?"

Kanch finished speaking and then gazed through the trees across the forest to look at the Akarons who were glaring at him and his group.

Though he was at the peak of the Baladi level, those Akarons there were Margoth levels.

It was too much for them.

Where did Akaella and Gwanje run off to?

'Only after killing those guys would I be able to receive the body enhancement surgery or something and then go up. Where the hell did these guys go?'

While Kanch was frowning and glaring at the Akarons, a ruckus was created in the midst of the Akarons.

"…!!!"

"…Run…!"

"Hurry and away … Gragos…There…"

Loud voices that could be heard all the way here.

The Akarons shouted at each other and then started to quickly run away in numerous directions.

Not towards this cliff, which was their location, but through a completely different path.

Kanch freaked out as he saw this as he also got up.

If those guys run away and hide then what would happen to everything they have done so far?

'Kim Gwanje this bastard. Not even finishing them off and doing your job properly as a clan leader!'

Kanch quickly rose up and then shouted.

"They're trying to get out from the Forest of Horns! Create tracking teams, 2nd, 4th, 7th divisions block the way towards area 20 and the 1st division come with me!"

'I need to find out the reason why they're running away.'

Though Kanch grumbled a lot, he had grown quite a lot while roaming around the Otherworld for 7 years.

The Rerorerore clan quickly formed tracking teams and then prepared themselves.

'Good. They're all ready.'

Kanch made a content expression as he looked at the 1st division that was completely armed from head to toe and were standing behind him.

A 30-man team only made of Baladi levels.

People who he had dragged under him in order to have some strength within the clan.

He would even be able to kill a Margoth-level person with this much power.

Though all of them were a bit insane, this was actually better.

'Since the crazier they are, the better they fight.'

"Let's go! Just scout their trails lightly and then group with the tracking teams."

Kanch then flew into the sky.

He was going to scout them from high up.

Though he didn't do this often since he would be exposing his location to the other clansmen but that didn't matter right now.

Kanch raised his body 500m into the air and then looked at the trails of the Akarons.

And then quickly shouted beneath him.

"Run away! Get to the 2nd outpost! 2nd outpost! The Gracios are on a stampede!"

Akol, the vice leader of the 1st division, frowned as he heard Kanch's shouts.

The 2nd outpost was in the complete opposite direction of the direction the Akarons were running in.

Which means that he had completely given up the Akarons.

'What the hell. Why is the Gracios coming towards us a problem?'

Akol made a confused expression.

The Margoths Du Gracios which were the most numerous in numbers were quite big but they were slow so they didn't move that fast.

And they didn't really like to chew on humans so they weren't that threatening.

'A joke. To kill such things and to call themselves a Margoth level.'

Others freaked out at Margoth levels but he was never afraid.

And his actual hobby was sliding down the backs of Gracioses.

The moment Akol snorted at this the ground started to rumble and shake.

Akol suddenly freaked out.

Since this wasn't a vibration that happened when the Margoths moved slowly.

Kuoooooooo!

At that moment large roars were heard in the distance.

From hundreds of locations at the same time.

Then the cliff the Akarons were hiding behind instantly got destroyed.

Boooom!

Akol freaked out as he started to run away.

"Uwaaaaaa!"

Kuoooooo!

Hundreds of beasts that towered multiple kilometers high were on a mad stampede.

Akol finally realized why the others were afraid of Margoth levels.

'Those guys killed things like this?!?!'

There was a huge difference between them standing around calmly and when they were mad.

Since the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked apart.

The trees that got hit by the bodies of the Margoths flew out like meteors so the clansmen who were in the way of it turned into a mud of flesh.

'Why are they in such a hurry!'

Akol dodged the wooden fragments as he clenched his teeth.

The hundreds of Gracioses were stealing glances behind their back as they were madly trying to get away from something.

In the same manner that they were trying to get away from the Gracioses.

What kind of existence did one need to be in order to make these things deathly afraid.

'I've never seen such a creature before?'

Crack

The moment Akol made a confused expression and looked behind him.

Booooooong

Something appeared in the air while flapping its wings.

'Uh?'

Akol squinted his eyes.

Since it was extremely small.

No, it wasn't that small.

Since the 10m tall steel angel was much larger than humans and also looked much sturdier.

But this was as far as humans went.

Compared to the Gracios, they weren't even comparable to the flies that sucked blood from the cows.

'Is that?'

At that moment.

The steel angel in the air suddenly disappeared.

Akol's eyes couldn't even track it.

Kuduk

Kuuuunngg!

At that moment the giant male Gracios that was in the very back cried out in pain.

And then something smashed through the heart of the Gracios as it ran away.

The steel angel that had disappeared from Akol's vision.

Udududuk

The Gracios that looked like the leader of them all fell down even without being able to scream.

And the thing that smashed through the giant heart laughed as it started to chew down on the thing in its hands.

Akol felt a chill run down his back as he ran in order to get away.

Kiruruk

At that moment.

The angel frowned as it saw Akol run away.

It pulled out the thing it was eating from within its mouth and then threw it like a projectile.

Puguk

"…Uk? Uwuhh…"

Akol made an expression of disbelief at the thing that had pierced through his heart.

A very small bone fragment that seemed to belong to the Gracios.

And in his blurring vision, he could see a beastly existence that was throwing things in all directions as if it was trying to catch everything.

.......................

"Once the Margoths move out the Tiradus will come out. Though it would become easier for me…"

Hansoo mumbled.

Margoth du Tiradus.

It would survive on a single Margoth for a whole year.

So this predator didn't really run around much as it stayed asleep in the deepest part of the Forest.

But there is indeed a time when this guy goes on a rampage.

The great move of the Margoths.

Once the Margoths come out to the body of the Gragos in search for food, these guys would start killing. Not for food but as a .

The target of this hunt was every other Margoths other than the Tiradus.

"A lot will die. So we need to catch it fast. Focus and let's go. Since their treatments finished up."

"…"

Gwanje looked into the sky in a daze even while listening to Hansoo's words.
