737 < 734 Giant Land, ‘Elasium’ (1) >

Elasium.

To be precise, Ian successfully stepped foot in the world, quickly looking around the environment in a reflexive manner.

Thanks to the shared map from Aremis, we were able to understand the approximate map structure in advance, but the difference between looking at it as a map and looking at it was quite significant.

“Mmmm... ”

And after a quick decision, Ian steps down from Iron.

“Heave-ho!"

Unlike a crack in the shape of a cliff that was crazy long up and down, the map itself had a horizontal structure like a normal map.

Of course, it would be much faster to fly the Iron at Judge's feet, but it could be too risky a choice.

Unlike the cracks that were halfway between the fewer and fewer themes, Jesus here was the perfect enemy.

Moreover, given that all the information except the structure of the map is intact, it is not unusual for powerful enemies to pop up from anywhere at any given time.

In this situation, flying in the sky would be a perfect target for the enemy.

Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!

Ian landed on the floor, and then the two widows who were each riding the pin and the scabbard also landed on the floor.

Ian then de-calculated all but Iron.

Whoo-hoo!

Since the tier of the Taming Master job became four, the burden of unchecking was greatly reduced.

“Just be as careful as you can while avoiding a fight. The most important thing is to get to Red Rock without being spotted by the Giants. ”

Kaisar and Helim nod and reply to Ian's order.

“Okay, I'll do that. ”

“Take orders. ”

Zek-zek-zek!

As Ian moves, Helheim and Caesar follow behind him, and then Iron folds his wings quietly behind him.

And their movements were inconspicuous to the giants.

The landscape of Jersey itself has many rugged features that could cover it, but it was relatively easy to hide and move because the giant giants were so massive.

Ian continued to examine the shared maps from Aremis and constantly checked the route of travel.

I didn't want to get lost in the middle of the enemy.

‘Red Rock Mountain... If it's an area that looks like its name, I think it's a big mountain range over there.... ’

Ian stared at the distant red peak through a pile of hidden rocks.

The red rock mountains, marked with the location of 'Jacquaram Village', seemed to fit into those rugged mountains.

‘Glad it's not too far from the crack. This is as far as we go when something happens. ’

After you set foot in the Elasium.

Ian's time to travel has been roughly 20 minutes.

And it might take two to 30 minutes to get to the remotely visible rock.

But it was only a matter of time, because it had traveled to the mainland to avoid the eyes of the giants, and if it had flown in a straight line, it would have lasted 10 minutes.

‘For now, it seems to be smooth.... ’

Ian keeps his head rolling while moving toward the destination.

And after a while.

- Tyring!

With a few brief reminders, Ian was able to reach the Red Rock Mountain.

- I've entered the Red Rock region.

- This is the land of the House of the King.

- We've entered the danger zone.

* * *

The terrain of Jersey, overall, is very rough.

It starts with a deep incision and extends high into the mountains.

It was hard to find flat terrain, and the terrain of Jersey was extremely curved.

And because of that, after the name referring to the region of Jersey, there was the word "mountain " or "song ."

as if the words "Heaven " were written after the name of Yongcheon region.

Red Rock Mountain, Black Moon Canyon, Commander's Rock Mountain, etc.

And the ‘Commander's Rock', just behind the Red Rock, is home to Campus Town, where a large group of Horse Rankers have gathered.

“I see you're all here. With this many people, it won't be easy to get Ian out. ”

A vacancy in Campus.

Aremis, on the small platform in the corner, smiles satisfactorily as he looks around the rankers gathering in the clearing.

‘Hehe, only twelve people are gathered in the vacancy right now. The total number of additional contacts will add up to 17. ’

Aremis brought together the Horse Rankers for one reason, of course.

To avenge Ian for humiliating him.

After escaping the crack, Aremis has been staying near the passageway that continues to lead to the crack, and has been able to see Ian slipping past the crack.

‘Ian seems to have missed the time gap on purpose, but I underestimated his persistence. ’

Ian appeared almost three or four days later than Aremis had originally expected.

Because of this, Aremis thought that Ian had deliberately appeared late to avoid his revenge.

Of course, Ian didn't even care, and Aremis was just delusional.

“Aremis, is it true that Ian is headed for Jacquaram Village? ”

When one of the rankers in the clearing asked, Aremis nodded without hesitation and replied.

“I told you. I just saw Ian coming in from the entrance to Jersey, and he was warped this way as soon as I heard from him. ”

“Hmm……. ”

“Ian, why the hell...? ”

For the Horse rankers, Ian was a truly coveted prey.

Because of this, the opportunity to catch him was attractive enough for them to pause even the quest that was underway.

Aremis takes a left turn and opens his mouth again in a gentle voice.

“Again, friends. There's only one thing I want. Revenge on Ian. ”

“ ……. ”

“I don't need any of the items or goods he dropped. So just make sure you kill him. ”

At Aremis' words, the rankers nod with a confident expression.

Even though Ian was about to face a first-rate user of the world ranking class soon, there was no tension in their expressions.

More relaxed expressions than when you went to deal with the Dragon Scouts scattered around the rift.

“Aremis, why do you keep saying it's so hard? ”

“I know. No matter how great Ian is, we are now more than ten people. If we can't defeat one of them, we have to delete the character and fold it. ”

“Khh, Aremis was beaten by Ian once, and then he became a coward, a coward. ”

“Hehehe.”

Aremis looks at rankers scoffing at himself and frowns.

It was because they didn't feel bad about making fun of themselves, but they seemed to feel too uneasy.

“Phew, listen up, guys. I'm not trying to be discreet here in case we can't deal with one. ”

“Then?”

“That's what worries me so much, that I can't stop him from escaping into the crack. ”

However, despite Aremis' explanation, the other rankers' expressions are just dull.

“Don't worry, Aremis. I won't let them get away with the cracks, but running that way won't do any good. ”

In the words of the U.S. server ranker Theos, Aremis immediately reacted.

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

“Well, I wasn't going to tell you this because it's kind of advanced information.... ”

Theos followed with a brief moxation.

“In fact, a while ago, the allied forces of the Giant families began heading for the rift. ”

“Huh?"

“Maybe it's because the dragons attacked so many days ago and the giant was angry. ”

“Ah…! ”

“By the time Ian has fled the crack to avoid us, only the Giants of Magical Power will be stationed at the entrance to the crack for more than a dozen times. As long as Ian has already entered Elasium, there's no turning back without dying. ”

After Theos' words, Aremis' face brightens noticeably.

I am confident that Ian somehow avoided the worst of what he was running from.

But even so, it was only a subway way for Ian to flee to the cracks and die by the Giant army.

After all, for Aremis' man to be completely free, he had to be beaten in front of Jacqueram himself.

“I didn't see that coming. Thanks for letting me know, Theos. ”

“You're welcome.”

Aremis then takes a deep breath one last time to speak to the rankers.

“Ian should be near Jacqueram by now. It's impossible to attack him right now. ”

Jacqueram is inside the Elasium, but it feels like a neutral zone apart from that.

It was the sanctuary of the Giants, so all kinds of battles were forbidden.

Aremis' plan was to ambush around Jacqueram and wait for Ian to come out.

“As soon as Ian gets out of town, we'll hit him. First we have to block his retreat so he can't get back into town, and then we have to work together to defeat him. ”

Starting with that, the description of Aremis' operation was briefly followed.

And the rankers who heard it all had to nod without even knowing it.

It was because there was no way Ian could get out of here if he moved this densely.

And when the story ends, the Horseman rankers quickly begin their journey to the Red Rock Mountain.

* * *

Meanwhile, Ian, who doesn't know that the Horse Rankers are plotting this plot, is singing a nostril and climbing over a red rock.

“Hehe, I see you have a map, so it's quick. That village over there must be Jacqueram. ”

Ian, on the peak of a red rock, full of red rocks like the local name, found a small town on the other side of the peak.

Threatening lava giants make their way to the village, but it's not a big obstacle.

If you move around with cover as well as you have, you can deceive the eyes of the blunt giants.

‘Then the problem is that the guard guarding the entrance to Jacquaram Village...' ’

The closer you get to Jacqueram Village, the more specific the guard looks in Ian's eyes.

And Ian had to look a little embarrassed to see him up close.

It was because the abundance of the two guards guarding the entrance to the town was unusual.

What kind of guards do they look like? If you look at the equipment you're wearing, you'll believe it's some kind of commander. ’

Unlike the Ordinary Giants, Jacqueram's guards are small.

It was about two or three times the size of a normal person, so it was definitely smaller than the Giants.

But apart from that, Ian sees them as the most powerful of the Giant NPCs they've ever met.

‘Somehow……. It seems dangerous to break through with force, but do I have to trust the pendant of bravery? ’

The pendant of Valor clearly says that if you carry it, you will be able to enter Jacquaram Village.

And since the item information window couldn't lie, Ian decided to believe it.

‘Yeah, well. Fight if you don't want to, or bounce if you don't want to. ’

Ian calmed down and began to approach the entrance of the town with a natural gait.

Jerk-jerk-jerk-.

A few moments later, you greet the guards with a starry expression.

“Hello, mister? You've been through a lot!”
