“You b.i.t.c.h! I already told you everything I know!”

Gyesoo, who had already become a mess, looked at Hansoo who was trying to wield the <forgotten>that was stolen from him.</forgotten>

<forgotten>For him to try killing him after he had puked out everything he knew!</forgotten>

<forgotten>Gyesoo, after getting pushed back as far as he could get, shouted loudly as he looked at Hansoo.</forgotten>

<forgotten>“Yeah! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Do you know who will come once I die! The Kalz Morenn I spoke of earlier will come!”</forgotten>

<forgotten>Gyesoo then pointed towards his forehead.</forgotten>

<forgotten>A small pink eye symbol.</forgotten>

<forgotten>It was the symbol of <thousand>.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>“You don’t seem to know but he’s watching everything through this! If you kill me then he won’t stay still!”</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Hansoo snorted inwardly.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>When the Thousand Li Eye of the Man caught within Jealousy was activated once it could only see about 3 seconds.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>And light pink meant that it had a low mastery level.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>There was no way to watch over everything with that.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>But Hansoo made a surprised expression.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>“What! G.o.dd.a.m.nit! Such a guy will chase me down!”</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Gyesoo looked at him and then laughed.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>“Kuhuhuhu. Yeah you b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘Hurry and run away.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Since he had done this much, he will not be able to kill him.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>There was a large difference between beating him up without knowing and killing him even after telling him that there was somebody watching behind him.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Since that would mean that he would be completely ignoring Kalz Morenn.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>And Kalz Morenn’s personality was definitely not something that would let something like that pa.s.s by.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Puuk!</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Gyesoo tumbled around from the shock of the back of his head getting smashed.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Hansoo had done this to make him pa.s.s out.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘As I expected.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Gyesoo laughed inwardly even while losing consciousness.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Since the fact that he had made him pa.s.s out meant that he feared Kalz Morenn to a degree.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>That guy would probably run away as quickly as possible now.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Within the blurring sight, Hansoo was quickly moving towards the jungle.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘Run away… I’ll definitely kill you.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Gyesoo’s thoughts ended there as he pa.s.sed out.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>But unlike Gyesoo’s thoughts, Hansoo stopped his movements and then quickly came back.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘Acting is tiring too.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Hansoo looked at the pa.s.sed out Gyesoo on the ground and then stared up into the sky.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Blue Carrier Pigeons, which were flying back and forth since a while ago.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘Soon this guy’s comrades will come.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>According to the information Hansoo had heard from him, the 11 supervisors, including himself, and their subordinates summed up to about 100 people.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>It was not a low amount of people at all.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>And another troublesome aspect.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘Hmm. Kalz Morenn…’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Hansoo muttered quietly.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Actually Hansoo didn’t know who this Kalz Morenn was.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Since he couldn’t remember him it seemed like this guy had died before getting to the Indigo or Purple Zone.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>One who could only snort around the Red Zone couldn’t stay within Hansoo’s memories.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘There’s so many things to remember already.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>There was only one important fact.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>That he was the captain of the shock troop of Lighthouse.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>That alone told him that he was a formidable fellow.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Since that spot was not something earned through poker.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>He couldn’t ignore the captain of the shock troop of Lighthouse.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Which meant that it was impossible to gather the materials while receiving the disruptions of those guys.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Hansoo looked at the pa.s.sed out guy on the ground for a while and then stood up.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘I should prepare a bit.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>The main point of the sightseeing business was quite simple.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Gather up the beasts, block up the paths leading out and sink all the s.h.i.+ps.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>If you do just these two things then the newcomers would not be able to leave at all.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>They isolate the End Root like this and then go out onto the sea on the cruise s.h.i.+p and watch it devour the Root.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Of course the main show is watching the newcomers struggling above the Root.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>There was no reason for backlash since the Helper clansmen would’ve pulled out the people needed by the VIPs or VVIPs.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘First I must check which beasts have been gathered up.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Hansoo lifted up the pa.s.sed out guy and then hid him in the corner of the jungle.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Since he might be found before he came back.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>He then went into the forest as he ruthlessly used Parallel Cut to chop apart the trees and advanced through the jungle.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>The objective of Quadratus is blocking the newcomers from leaving the Root which the Calamity Fish will eat up.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>They would’ve definitely gathered tons of beasts at each side of the Kukulja Lake, which acted as the boundary line.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Since they won’t have to guard a large perimeter if they blocked along the Kukulja lake.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Kyaaaak!</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Roars could be heard after a short trip through the jungle.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Gertas who were filled up with rage because they had lost their child couldn’t get to stomp over the culprit.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘It was Gertas huh.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>He hadn’t known which of the 13 beasts with herd-like natures they were but after checking them it was the Gertas.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘Good.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>Hansoo, who had personally confirmed the Gertas being near, quickly headed towards a different direction.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>And then quickly started to harvest something in the forest.</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>‘Daron Vine’s Root… gathering some Amars.’</thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand>It would’ve been hard if he was bare-bodied but the <forgotten>was of great help.</forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten>‘Dumba.s.s. That’s not how you use this.’</forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten>That guy had been using this by pouring mana into this and either exploding or compressing it to strengthen the sword but the true usage of the <forgotten>was not that.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>Stretch.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>As Hansoo poured in Mana, a free-formed blade grew out.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>This was the true usage.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>Something that the guy, who only knew how to blow it up or compress it, couldn’t use. A free-form blade that required the mana control to be extremely fine to the point where one can do both things simultaneously.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>Hansoo swung that blade in all directions as he cut off the beasts’ necks and collected the needed ingredients.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>The free-form sword of which the length and shape kept changing constantly aimed for the unguarded spots of the beasts.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>‘Let’s see. I should need about 20 of them.’</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>Hansoo, who had squeezed out the incense pouch of 20 Amars along with a few other ingredients, approached the Gertas who were aggressively roaming around.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>The Gertas charged at him but it was fruitless.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>Chwak!</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>Hansoo was cautious to not get any of the blood on his body as he swung the free-form sword around.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>The stretched out blade cut of the neck of the Gerta.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>‘Done.’</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>Though it would be better if he had the blood of the baby it would take too much time for him to find the hidden baby.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>Since the Quadratus guys will arrive soon.</forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten>Hansoo poured the blood on his free-form sword onto the prepared ingredients and then quickly put in into the <selfish>by his waist.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>‘It’s troublesome if the scent gets spread.’</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Hansoo quickly moved his body towards the pa.s.sed out Gyesoo after he had completed his work.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>He was still pa.s.sed out.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>And above that Gyesoo, a few Blue Carrier Pigeons were flying around.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>They will arrive if they receive the help from the receiver but since they weren’t receiving the help they didn’t arrive.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>But soon his comrades will arrive.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Hansoo quickly approached the mess of a guy.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>A guy who had become bloodied from head to toe from the battle with him.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>But the injuries were healing at a rate that could be seen with the naked eye.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>If some more time pa.s.ses and then he uses the regeneration rune, he’ll probably be healed to the point he’ll be able to move again.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Hansoo approached the pa.s.sed out Gyesoo.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>And then he quickly pulled out the mixture he had made, put it into the split wound on his thigh and then quickly shut the wound.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>It will take some time for the gap completely heal.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>And he didn’t have the time wait for that.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>‘Let’s see.’</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Hansoo fumbled around his pockets as he pulled something out.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>‘I’ll return your business card.’</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>As Hansoo stuck the business card which was made of the Padro Larva’s hide onto his thigh, the business card melted down as the wound on the thigh closed up.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Hansoo, who had made a satisfactory expression at the completely healed wound, nodded and disappeared into the jungle after clearing up his tracks.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Soon slas.h.i.+ng sounds were heard as Cheng, one of the commanders, and his subordinates appeared.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Cheng made a dumbfounded expression as he looked at Gyesoo laid out on the floor.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>‘This r.e.t.a.r.d… he really lost?’</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Cheng looked at Gyesoo as he was seriously pathetic but then just shook his head.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>He wants to throw Gyesoo into the Kukulja lake after taking into account the fact that Gyesoo had worked so hard was still laid out like this but this guy was a bit special even out of the commanders.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Since he was a guy who had been inside the Calamity Fish.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“Let’s take this guy and go back!”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>‘d.a.m.nit.’</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>He didn’t want to report this situation to Kalz Morenn…</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>He had to wake this guy up no matter what and make him report it himself.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>All the aid was on the cruise s.h.i.+p anyway.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Cheng took Gyesoo and then quickly moved towards the cruise s.h.i.+p.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“Hmm. When does it start.”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Kalz Morenn looked towards the distant sea with a content expression.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>The Calamity Fish was still quite a distance away but if you take into account his great eyesight and the size of that thing, it wasn’t hard to spot it.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>‘The Quadratus guys are quite good.’</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Getting a 2000 man boat was hard enough but these guys somehow managed to station it right next to the root.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>‘Anyways. That’s why there are so many tourists.’</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>If they had thought that it was dangerous from the start then the tourists wouldn’t even have gathered.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>And a 2000 man boat was at the level where it could withstand the waves created by the Calamity Fish.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>But unlike Kalz Morenn, the newcomer standing next to him, Ailen, was making a rather bitter expression.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Kalz Morenn chuckled.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>‘Look at this kid.’</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>He was a guy that he held dearly.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>And that was why he had brought him along after paying the tourism fee.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Kalz Morenn knew the reason why he was making such an expression.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“It hasn’t been long since you came into our clan right?”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Ailen pondered for a moment and then answered.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“It has been about 27 days.”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“And when did you come to the Otherworld?”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Ailen shrugged his shoulders</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“1 year. Since I came through the last year’s tutorial.”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Kalz Morenn smiled contently at those words.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Only strong people could come into Lighthouse, one of the six pillars.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>But this guy had come into Lighthouse in 1 year and into the most dangerous Shock Troopers.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>If you take into account the fact that most people in Lighthouse were 3rd and 4th years, then this guy’s talent was amazing.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>And that was one of the reasons why he held him so dearly.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>‘It’s probably because he’s still a 1st year…’</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Such a thing like this would probably make him feel a little dirty.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>To shove down huge groups of people into the stomach of the Calamity Fish and watching it.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Kalz Morenn spoke towards Ailen.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“You probably know by now… what do you think of every day while you live?”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Ailen shrugged his shoulders as he answered.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“Getting stronger.”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Kalz Morenn chuckled.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“Right? Surviving day by day isn’t your goal anymore right? Since you aren’t at that level anymore.”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“…”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“I was like you around that level too. But… you start to think differently right before you go up.”</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>There’s nothing he should be scared of right now.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Since they, who ruled over the Red Zone, were really strong.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>They had long been qualified to go up to the Orange Zone.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>But there was only one reason why they had remained here.</selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Of course they won’t start off from the rock bottom.</if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Since there was still a gap from those who barely qualified to go up to the Orange Zone and them.</if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>And they would probably be able to rise above others faster than them.</if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>But that wasn’t the important part.</if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>There won’t be people who would tremble at the sight of them and there might be people who he would have to run away from.</if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>He had to struggle to get stronger again and go back into dangerous places.</if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“Do you know what comes up in your head at this point?”</if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“…What comes up in your head?”</if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>“You start to get an idea that you have to rule as much as you get here and then go up.”</if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>It was hard to remain in one place forever without going up due to the World Tree’s structure.</if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>And when you become one of the clansmen of the Six Pillars, and the top within that clan, you start to get thoughts such as this.</if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>But this wasn’t easy either.</if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>There was no way to fulfill the stomach.</if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Since the only thing to eat here were Nutritional Fluids.</if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>There wasn’t much need for sleep and one would get fed up with l.u.s.t after a day or two.</if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>He needed something more fun and intense.</if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>Something to fulfill this desire of the ones who will go up soon and become tired again.</if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish>And the Quadratus Sightseeing was something created for people like this.</if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>‘I look forward to it.’</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>It was quite a good sight to see dying people struggle.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>That alone wouldn’t be enough but there were thousands of people and such a thing would become very grand once the Calamity Fish takes part in it.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>According to the ones who had seen it before, this was really a good sight.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>Shouldn’t he have a look at such a wondrous sight before going up.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>At that moment he felt a presence approach him.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>Then Kalz Morenn clicked his tongue after seeing what had come.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>“Did you seriously lose?”</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>He had told the other Quadratus guys just in case but for him to really lose.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>While Gyesoo was making an embarra.s.sed face, Kalz Morenn wrinkled his nose at the very faint scent.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>A scent which normal humans could not smell and only he, who had learned</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>And then he looked towards the origin of the scent.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>Gyesoo’s thigh.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>Kalz Morenn frowned his brows as he looked at Gyesoo with an incredibly fearsome expression.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>“You r.e.t.a.r.d…”</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>“Pardon?”</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>Gyesoo was shocked at the sudden bloodthirst rus.h.i.+ng towards him and replied unconsciously.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>Kyaaaak!</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>A very faint scent breezed past the noses of the Gertas.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>A scent which was created when the extremely agitated Gerta’s pheromones and blood were mixed.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>It was clear what his scent meant.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>That the killer of one of their kind had been covered with their blood.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>The strong scent, which seemed like it was asking for revenge, was carried by the winds.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>And it was amplified thousands of times.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>Kyaaaak!</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>Thousands of Gertas which were roaming near the Kukulja Lake started to madly dash towards the origin of the scent.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>And Hansoo laughed as he saw this sight.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>He couldn’t gain a large amount of time but this was enough for now.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>‘I should finish fast and go make some of that Nutritional Fluid. I wonder if that Gyesoo guy is alright.’</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>He didn’t know who Kalz Morenn was but according to what he heard about his personality, it would be hard for him to ignore such a blunder like this.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>

<forgotten><thousand><forgotten><forgotten><selfish><watch>Hansoo rushed out to complete the extract within the time that Gyesoo had kindly bestowed him.</watch></if></if></if></selfish></forgotten></forgotten></thousand></forgotten>
