160 160.00.

“Nice white tiger. ”

“This... is really something. ”

“Yeah, it's really tight with the roots. ”

“I can't believe there are more native monsters with the same power as Roots..." ”

“Did everyone convince you to call it the Root? Really?"

With a grumbling voice, the group nods, agreeing. The giant tiger who appeared in front of them was never inferior to the giant whale Ceiraxia in terms of size, but Mana was never infested by him.

[I thank you, Human King, for not harming my men first.]

“I think you're mistaken. I'm not a king. ”

Jung Si-woo decided to correct his misunderstanding first. Then he unexpectedly accepted and retreated.

[I see. Then I see. It will be soon, but not yet.]

“That's not an answer...... When did you see me calling me king? ”

[If you think we didn't know you existed, it's that you underestimate us.]

As Jung Si-woo hurriedly raised his head, White Tiger raised his front foot, pointing to the depths of the dungeon.

[I wanted to talk to you once. I'll tell you the rest inside.]

“…… good. ”

The group doesn't understand him except Jung Si-woo anyway. As Jung Shi Woo translates, the group seems to think for a moment, but then nods.

“With Siu, you won't die. ”

“Maybe it'll be like in the deep gutter. ”

“Let's go, come on. ”

Jung Siu's universalism is rampant among the group, saying that anything happens to someone anytime, anywhere, just on time, is going to happen.

I thought seriously about putting all this shit out there to raise my independence, but I decided to follow the tiger.

[Goodbye then... * Splash *!]

“Where are you going, Tsi? ”

[Now, I stretched my neck for a while, Tsk.]

Jung Si-woo's creed did not miss the guy who took it once. If you follow the tiger and stumble around, you will buy time by sacrificing squirrels. Perhaps his intense will is conveyed, and the squirrel nods stiffly with a stiff face.

[Don't worry, Tsk. My boss is very gentle, Tsk.]

“I hope so, too, Tsk. ”

The more you get inside the dungeon, the denser Mana gets, and the higher the level of hidden monsters around you. The squirrel twists and turns, but doesn't try to run anymore, whether he wants to live.

[This is it.]

“Wow.”

“Wow!”

“Wow... ”

“They've all moved on.... ”

How long have you been through the deep forest? Suddenly, there are fewer trees and rocks, and a golden sand beach appears. At the end, you see a cave that is purely made of sand.

Of course, this is no ordinary sand. The sand that wouldn't budge from the shock that solidified into its magical form…… When I saw it, I realized.

“So this sand is your strength? Amazing... ”

[It is precise to think that I originated from this power. The origin of that power is never me.]

Origin, again, a word I'm used to feeling bad about. Jung Shiwoo frowned, looking for a flat place in the sand cave, and sat down. The group follows.

“Is it the origins of this power that you follow? ”

[Probably. Not sure, but we've all been drawn to one being ever since we were born. It is the same as the Lord who gave me the power of sand, I am sure.]

Eriu, the giant tiger, wags her front foot as she says. As the sand makes a vortex in the air, it disappears.

If it is expressed towards the enemy, it will be torn apart by the whirlpool of magical and physical forces at the same time.

“Who is that god? Any sign of anything other than your abilities? ”

[I don't know until there. Since no one has guided us, the only way to get to him is to find him.]

As expected, Jung Shiwoo nods.

I came to this sand cave and realized, but this place is no better than the deep ocean. Rather than looking for traces of the system here, it's quicker to grab Ruta, the fairy, and get some information.

Eriu's words were reaching in a different direction, whether he knew Jung Siu was thinking that way or not. It was about the raid that happened today.

[There are drawbacks to my abilities. Where there is little sand, it weakens. Your abilities are unstable, so you can't leave without knowing that there are numerous enemies trying to invade here again. That's why I was preparing to face the enemy here...]

Jung Si-woo took care of them before the enemy invaded. At Jungwoo's time, I had my first question about his abilities, but I didn't think I'd talk about it now, so I stayed still. I knew he'd bite soon enough.

[You see things differently from us, don't you?]

“Well, yeah. ”

In fact, there were times when it was not very distinctive, but now it was a little different. The tiger was satisfied with his positivity and asked again.

[They try to ‘enlighten' us and humans. Several times, other than the entrance you entered, monsters have tried to intimidate our bodies and minds. And after several battles with them, I realized what their purpose was, and now I know who is the most disturbing person on the planet.]

At this point, it's even weirder not knowing who it is. Jung Si-woo raises his finger and points at himself, then he nods his big head.

[Yes. The one who is preventing the name of the god they are calling from penetrating into the hearts of Humans... Jung Siu, it's you. Today, you showed up at the same time they were playing tricks and the mountain destroyed them.]

The squirrel, who was standing still, trembled to see if he remembered that moment. Eriu, on the other hand, nodded with a kind expression of gratitude, whether he worshipped power as it looked.

At this point, he realized why he thought Jung Si-woo was the King of Humankind.

[I knew you existed, and it wasn't until I realized what you were doing that I thought, Then I will also be king of these children and serve only one God who must protect and serve them from their gods.]

I didn't think he knew his own name, but Jung Si-woo was surprised at the fact that the intelligence of the native monsters was beyond imagination.

[Well, then. If our goals are the same, we can cooperate.]

“Finally. ”

[I already know. There are many people who are hostile to us, and there are also many who can't distinguish us from those monsters. But if I'm being honest with you, I'm tired of caring about other Humans even though my enemy's power is strong.]

There was another consensus with Jung Si-woo. He added that Jung Si-woo's head is a bit heavy.

[If it's your power, you can convince the humans. If the two groups succeed in gathering power instead of opposing each other, it should be easier to stop the monsters.]

Surprisingly ideal plan. As Eriu said, unlike the world Jung Si-woo had seen, humans might be able to have a longer and more stable life. Jung Si-woo nodded favorably.

“I think so, too. ”

[If so!]

The joy in the tiger's eyes was young. At this moment, are monsters and human vs. alien alliances not occurring in any world in the past going to be constructed!

“But the world isn't always that simple. ”

[Khh…….]

The tiger crouches, its head hanging loose. Do you have any idea what you're doing? Jung Si-woo explained to him, putting his hands together.

“First of all, I'm not the king of men, as I just said. So even if I told you not to attack monsters, people wouldn't pretend to hear it. There may be people listening, but the important thing is that it's not perfect. ”

[Is that so…….]

“Secondly, as you are aware, most people do not distinguish between monsters from those born on Earth. Secondly, there is no human being like me who can communicate with monsters. Do you think it's easy to form alliances when you can't communicate with each other? ”

[Obviously.]

“The last three. This is the most important thing. ”

Jung Si-woo looked directly into the eyes of the fierce one.

“You also haven't become the king of all monsters on Earth. I mean, you can't represent all the native monsters. At least not yet. …… right? ”

[…… Yes.]

He admitted it cleanly.

[This dungeon is connected to various natural worlds. And in most of those regions, I am recognized and served as their king. But…… that's not all there is to it.]

“Of course. I'm not sure I know all of these gates, but I'm sure I will. So your grand alliance plan can never come true right now. ”

[Then…… we have no choice but to go on a triathlon with the monsters of Humankind and otherworld?]

“But think about it, El. ”

El?

Jung Si-woo called him by his own name. Now that you have some bad news, it's time to tell a positive story.

“At least the two of us understand each other's position and empathize. ”

[Well, yes.]

“So I think we can make an alliance right now. ”

[Between us...?]

Alone. Truly sweet echoes. It gives me a sense of belonging, shares secrets, and feels like I'm doing something special. It's a common trick for fraud, but Eriu... … it was even more effective for El.

[Alone...... I feel fine. I trust you, and you trust me. I like it a lot]

“Yes. Even if we don't realize the alliance between all monsters and humans on Earth right now, we can still be together in our own will. If we help each other, we can reduce the friction between humans and your monsters. If we do well, we'll be able to work together. ”

[Agreed. All right, we'll move forward one step like sand on a castle.]

It was at that moment that Jung Si-woo smiled with a proud smile.

“Okay, then let's make an alliance. ”

[Fine.]

Humans and tigers grabbed each other's hands and feet lightly. It was a moment when small alliances formed.

[I feel like my boss is being tamed, Tsk.]

“You be quiet, Tsk. ”

At that moment, I started discussing specific options with El. Once you injected a simple action technique that allowed the monsters under El to move away from Humans, you also spoke with them about how to subdue monsters in another world using Humans.

“Brother, when this happens, the humans.... ”

“It's better to deal with monsters from around the world than to turn them against one another. ”

Right now, Jung Si-woo's goal is not to coexist between humans and monsters. Reducing each other's losses as much as possible and consequently repelling 'monsters of another world’! It is imperative that humans and monsters are sacrificed in the process.

“The most important thing is to keep our alliance strictly between us. Maybe we should make a simple greeting for each other for this. It will also be good when there are more alliance members. ”

[Excellent.]

“And more importantly, ”

Details can be adjusted at any time later. I have a problem asking his doctor right now.

“El, do you really want to be the monster king? ”

[Monster, King…….]

King of all monsters on Earth, not of this dungeon. It would be hard to control all the sea monsters with their natural abilities or bodies, but gathering the monsters on land would be enough.

[Does that... mean you'll help?]

“I don't need an answer when I see that look. ”

Jung Si-woo smiled. El laughed as he met his eyes.

At that moment, a message appeared in front of Jung Si-woo's eyes.

[The residential area gives you access to Eriu's Guardian Station, a desert paradise.]
