eason for life

An open land near the Yalu River.

Tsutsutsu.

"Huh?"

As the black portal roared, the researchers around them were startled and moved away.

Dungeon portals are red and mobile portals are blue.

However, since the black portal was discovered for the first time, it was a natural reaction to not know what would happen.

aiming!

While the researchers hurriedly retreated, the soldiers on standby each aimed their guns at them.

There was already a triple line of deterrence around the black portal.

Tsutsutsutsutsu.

The black portal fluctuated and gradually decreased in size.

The device that was measuring energy next to it also made a loud noise and lowered the level.

"Huh? This is the reaction when it disappears."

As the energy of the dungeon decreased, the black portal, which gradually decreased in size, disappeared in the past.

beep-

Only the number 0 floats on the measuring device.

Researchers hurriedly checked the data.

"Naturally, the dungeon is annihilated."

"A crack?"

A researcher hurriedly inspected the crack detector.

A rift is always a precursor to a dimensional rift before a portal is created.

There is a dimensional collision, followed by a rift, followed by the creation of a dungeon that becomes a passage.

"Clean."

"Are you clean? No way.

The fissure energy is also gone.

The portal itself disappeared without even entering the dungeon or attacking it.

"Isn't it a dungeon?"

It is a world where bridge portals that connect other planets, not dungeons, exist.

Since it is a black portal that has not yet been properly researched, it seems difficult to conclude that it is a 9-star dungeon based on only the measured energy level.

The soldiers tensed and watched where the dungeon disappeared, but nothing happened.

The response to the space has been lowered from the borderline to the surveillance system.

Baeksa, who was watching from afar, wrapped Dongsoo's neck and stretched his head toward the sky.

[Still, he seems to be doing something.]

The black portal disappeared.

The passage through which the dead god was sent to Earth had disappeared.

without releasing anything.

Yeah?

[I didn't say that to you.]

Ah yes.

[Let's go back.]

"It is."

When Hong Se-hee's team, who went to the West Sea to chase one monarch monster, returns, the work of the guardian guild is over.

The surrounding area was devastated by the toad lord and tens of thousands of monster corps, but it was a field anyway.

The city of Pyongyang below is intact, and the refugees who fled to Kaesong are returning to Pyongyang again.

There are no more monarch monsters on the Korean Peninsula. There is not even a monster corps that has been driven by that charisma.

An ecosystem where ogres and orcs fight, and goblins are eaten, only established an ecosystem.

If you do not come near the human city, the monsters will fight each other and fight for power for a while.

Wii ing.

"Oh, it's all over!"

Han Dong-soo's expression on his return to Suho City was bright. I feel refreshed after dealing with my big worries.

[Twitter, this is the beginning.]

Yeah?

There was a gentle breeze of the white sage, which was wrapped around the waist like a scarf.

[The toad is just the beginning.]

In this Korean peninsula, there are frequent occurrences of new-level monarchs.

Not only the East Sea, the West Sea, the South Sea, but also Mount Baekdu and Manchuria in the north, the appearance of new-level monarchs does not cease.

That is why 8-star dungeons appear frequently.

There is a way to prevent the new monarch from being summoned in the first place by notifying them in advance and blocking the break of the 8-star dungeon, but the possibility was slim.

Beasts have limited access to dungeons without guardians, and only two teams have experienced 8-star dungeon advance missions in the guardian guild.

It is not enough power to attack until the 8-star dungeon disappears.

'The blue dragon is mine.'

I will acquire his powers and ascend to the proper Snow Mountain Bingryong!

'You are clearing the way.'

The master who left himself to return to this earth and ascended to the new realm first seemed to be doing his part.

It is more hopeful than in the past, when the dead gods painted death everywhere.

At least, you don't fight the gods, you just have to eliminate the god beasts.

*I walked and walked through the red desert.

"I found it."

Suho experienced three tombstones.

His own death, not knowing how many times he died.

And Kuro's gravestone.

The third was a toad tombstone, which caught my curiosity when I saw the tombstone rising up in black smoke as if on fire.

The burnt tombstone may have disappeared, or it may have just been that way.

Now that Suho has killed him, he has turned into a small manastone and is sleeping in his inventory.

The tombstone of the planet Gucheon is a data repository.

Save the past of the dead god.

With that memory and power... .

The temptation to this power was great, but it was thanks to the graveyard in front of me that I was able to endure it.

"Am I supposed to die a lot?"

It looks like the tombstone of his first encounter. Although the text was slightly different, it was certain that his tomb had a similar shape.

If it is a memory and strength to absorb, isn't your past better than someone else's?

Should I say that since I died and started a new life, it's not the past?

Although the time period before and after is different, it was not entirely wrong to say that he absorbed himself in a parallel world.

Park Soo-ho-in, who has lived a different life but is still... .

Suho touched the tombstone, and was sucked into the past as if swept away.

Papa Pat.

"Ugh, black!"

run and run again

Suho's face, running with all his might, was full of fear.

Anyone would have

The world you see for the first time in your life, if you are thrown into an unidentified forest.

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh!"

My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my throat, but I had no choice but to run.

"Cool!"

A pair of wolves running from behind boasted a gigantic size they had never seen on Earth.

For modern civilization, if a wolf bigger than a bull is chasing you, they have only one choice.

After getting tired of peeing, it hardens as it is, biting it, or running away with all its might.

At least Suho, who chose the latter, is showing his brilliance.

Hope to survive in this rough forest.

"Huh, hey!"

Suho, who was running like crazy, stepped on a branch and ran, barely holding onto his body that was about to collapse.

However, with that one twist, the strength of his legs was strangely released and he lost his balance.

So yes.

A cliff suddenly appeared through the bushes, but it did not stop at once.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

I ran like crazy and rolled over the slope.

After rolling several times on a steep slope, I hit my head against a rock.

" ."

"Sniff."

Two wolves descending the slope saw and smelled the shadow of death.

I even tried to touch it with my big feet.

"Kung, Kung!"

for a while too.

The two wolves moved away as if they had soon lost interest.

" ."

Only the corpse of a human with a broken head on a rock was left there.

Papa Pat!

The surroundings turn black.

" ."

Suho, who became a spectator, melted into the world.

Sigh.

Suho touched his forehead.

"He died absurdly."

I have lived for over a thousand years in this life alone. The concept of time is slightly different from that of Earth, so it may have been older.

Anyway, looking back on those distant memories, the beginning must have always been embarrassing.

Anyone would have

How many human beings can comfortably laugh and adapt to an unfamiliar environment in an unfamiliar world?

The current Suho was also a little embarrassed at first and trembled in fear.

It only survived like this thanks to the stats that went up gradually.

"How many times will I die in vain?"

He was killed by Kuro, but now he was chased to death by a wolf.

Now that he is familiar with the wolf and knows his habits well, it seems like pure play with no hunting intentions, but the dead guardian would have no way of knowing.

Puss.

The black man who had been lying next to the black sculpture that resembled a rock below stood up.

[I'm scared.]

okay.

Is it because he died in the past?

Even with the fight ahead, I felt more pity than fighting spirit.

I was like that too.

It feels like I've lived so long that my memories are worn out and I'm reliving my old feelings that have become dull.

[Why are you alive?]

"Why?"

Suho was about to say something but shut his mouth.

why am i alive

[You must die too.]

" ."

Whiy profit.

The fist raised by the black man was so bad.

Is it a twisted longing for life or jealousy?

[die!]

whip profit.

Weak fists were so slow that it was difficult to even hit them on purpose.

okay.

Suho intercepted the black man's fist.

chin.

"I understand why you are alive."

[What?]

quack.

He crushed the fist he had grabbed.

Wheeik, puck!

The back of his hand, which he swung lightly, popped the black man's head.

"Because he's not dead yet."

sssss.

The black man disappeared and the black world around him collapsed.

Papa Pat!

Seeing the familiar sight of the red desert again, Suho sighed lightly.

; Delete

; absorption

Suho pressed absorption without hesitation.

Papa Papa!

"Ugh."

The entanglement of memories was not easy because the subject was weak.

It was a past life that ended after a very short life, so the pain passed in an instant.

Alas ."

He patted his ears and pressed his temples.

after.

Memories are entangled

I feel like I found my forgotten childhood on an old camcorder.

'Yes, I did.'

At that time, I was very scared and scared.

Yes, that was the feeling.

After brushing his hair a couple of times, Suho straightened his hazy vision.

A grave can be seen in the distance.

is it my grave

Now both have been fixed.

All past deaths must be picked up and contained.

Even if we go down to Earth, death will not follow.

* Kim Mi-so found the world tree.

Papa Pat.

With the World Tree in the center, some elf wizards were extracting magical energy from the bloodstone and infusing it.

Shoot!

The sound of the wind sounded as refreshing as the world tree.

Miso Kim stood on one side and watched the work of the elf wizards for a long time.

He was infinitely serious to break the atmosphere, and he was also quite wretched.

Kim Mi-so, who was quietly watching, even felt the sublime in their actions.

They were sincerely for the world tree.

Each one carefully.

Papa Pat.

The magicians woke up only after the bloodstone, which had been piled up like a stone tower, lost all its magic power and lost its light.

"Someone said it must have been the chieftain of the earth."

Ganion, the head of the elf wizards, seemed to have noticed Kim Mi-so's visit right away.

"Yes, I want to talk to you for a moment."

"Haha, that's good."

Ganion laughed out loud.

Seeing him in a good mood, Kim Mi-so had no choice but to ask before the matter.

"Are you feeling good?"

"Since the mana stones are so abundant, caring for the World Tree is so much more rewarding."

Ah.

He uses bloodstone better than anyone else, but ironically, there is no bloodstone on the planet Aruka.

Because it only comes from the corpse of a monster.

'Why does it only come from monsters?'

The energy source from the monster is used to strengthen the power of the World Tree.

He tilted his head at the irony, but Ganion woke up Kim Mi-so's thoughts.

"What is the purpose of the chieftain of the earth?"

Ah!

Kim Mi-so stopped worrying and revealed the reason why she came here.

"Can you expand the influence of the World Tree a little faster?"

"Faster than this?"

Even now, he was pouring a lot of bloodstone on the World Tree.

Yeah. faster."

"It is possible, but ."

Is it possible?

Kim Mi-so's voice was full of anticipation.

"But it's less efficient."

The bloodstone that is being put in now is a method of extracting magical power completely and delivering it as it is.

At a ratio of 1:1, if more bloodstone is added than this, the efficiency will decrease.

It was low-efficiency compared to the investment, but Kim Mi-so had a face that did not care at all.

"Efficiency doesn't matter."

The guardian guild had a lot of bloodstone.
