When I looked at what kind of bullshit this was, Khan smiled awkwardly.

“Oh, I’m fine. It’s a lot of terrain, and I’ve never climbed this level once or twice, so I’m used to it.”

“············”.

No, I’m not okay with you.

I looked up far above.

I forgot for a moment because you said it like it was nothing.

For the superhumans of this world, climbing a cliff with bare body is not a big deal.

The cliff was not considered a blocked road, but a path that could only be climbed up.

“Is this the only way?”

“Yes? There may be other ways if you look for it, but it’s going to be a long way back. Then we’ll go up first.”

After saying that, Khan moved first.

I couldn’t even imagine that I wouldn’t be able to climb this much.

‘Should have brought a wizard too…’

Khan stuck to the wall like a lizard and started climbing the cliff quickly.

I looked at him in dismay, then shifted my gaze to Ashel.

.

“Achelle.”

“Yes.”

“Take me up.”

“······Yes?”

Ashel turned around with a questioning expression on whether she had just heard correctly.

I said it as blatantly as possible.

“He told me to carry me up.”

“············”.

A moment of silence passed.

She had a complicated face that she couldn’t understand what the order was meant to be, but she quickly gave up on her back.

Koo!

And it was only a moment to go up.

It was because his body soared like an explosion in a single cloud of foot, and he reached right up to the top of the cliff without stepping on the wall.

Most of the rides had a dizzying speed and a sense of empathy that could not be compared, but somehow the scream could be tolerated.

‘·······Oh.’

I don’t want to do it twice.

It calmed down the tingling afterglow and came down from Ashhel’s back.

When I looked down, I thought that the Khan was about a third of the way up, so I thought it would come up quickly.

If Ashel steps out again, Khan will be able to climb up comfortably, but it’s coming up well, so I decided to just wait.

“············”.

Then Ashel stared at something.

I reflexively looked at her gaze, but there was nothing.

Instantly, a pungent smell filled his nostrils.

‘A bloody smell…?’

It was a strong blood scent that I could easily recognize.

Khan, who came up immediately, looked around, dusting off the dirt on his clothes, as if he had smelled it. He even said it casually.

“It seems that there is even a corpse of a monster nearby.”

The movement continued.

As we went further into the forest, the scent of blood grew stronger. It seemed to be getting closer to the source.

When they reached a certain point like that, everyone was at a loss for words at the sight that unfolded in front of them.

“············”.

The body was actually a giant snake.

A gray-skinned snake as large as a human body, just the size of a head. It was undoubtedly a giant snake.

What stood out was that he was dead.

The middle part of the torso was cut off… No, it wasn’t cut off, but the middle part of the torso had completely disappeared and was dead.

It was as if he had been bitten by something much bigger than himself.

“Hey, is this guy a rumor…?”

Khan opened his mouth and muttered.

A giant snake said to have been spotted in the northern mountains.

But it didn’t matter at all whether this guy was the main character of the rumor or not. because he’s dead

‘·······For what?’

I looked around.

Following the bleak trail of the nearby floor, a strange landscape was reflected in which all the trees had fallen.

As soon as Khan realized the situation, his complexion grew pale. Ashel was already vigilant.

Zurick.

A faint sound echoed in my ear for a moment.

With that eerie sound that seemed to provoke the instinctive fear of life, the ground shook.

The thick bushes on one side collapsed and something huge came towards this side. Still, no one could move.

coo coo.

Eventually, the overwhelming giant rose and cast a shadow on the earth.

Both Ashel and Khan looked at ‘it’ with bewildered faces.

【Lv.90】

It was a huge, black snake.

It wouldn’t be strange to say that it was not a snake, but a dragon, an infinitely huge snake that looked like a newborn baby snake.

I was well aware of his identity.

‘Belvagora…’

One of the Named Bosses of the Magic Kingdom.

The first thing that came to my mind when I heard the story of the giant snake, but I thought it was impossible to be in a place like this.

‘Why the hell are you here?’

The answer to the question came right away.

Now is the time of the past.

As long as he hasn’t set up a place in the Magical World at this time, no matter where he is, it doesn’t make any sense.

Yeah… it doesn’t make any sense, but I never imagined that the giant snake really was this guy.

Zurick.

A huge, ripped pupil emerges and scans the other two.

It was as if he was contemplating which food to taste first.

Khan’s face seemed to run out of breath at any moment, and Ashel was no different.

Far from preparing for battle, he had turned white, and he could see the hand holding the sword’s handle trembling. Like a frog in front of a snake.

‘Is this… is a peer?’

This unpleasant sensation is strangely different from the life I’ve felt before.

Some monsters have a kind of peer ability that causes fear and panic in targets weaker than themselves. Belvagordo was one of them.

No matter how much Achel, the peer of a much higher level opponent had no choice but to be greatly affected.

Even if the battle was in perfect condition, it was impossible to even escape properly in a situation where there was no chance of victory.

Because I have the soul of a king, I am not affected by peers.

Still, it didn’t change that the situation was the worst.

How can you be like this without luck?

I promised myself that I would take some risks, but it’s already a crisis like this. It’s ridiculous and I think I’m going to laugh.

‘······ As long as you reach it somehow.’

I know I have to do something to survive in this situation.

It was just one contact.

Without even activating the skill, it would be over if he fell under that huge body and died, but here he had no choice but to risk his life.

I slowly took a step towards him.

***

Overwhelmingly large enough to be speechless.

It was absurd that he didn’t even feel a presence even though he was so close.

It was at this moment that Ashel knew for the first time that there had been such a huge creature in the world.

It was also instinctive. Even if you fight with all your might, you will never be able to stand against this monster.

No, I couldn’t even fight right now.

‘I can’t move my body…’

Just meeting each other makes me choke out of breath, and it’s hard to lift a finger.

She resisted Pierre by grinding her teeth. He did his best to correct the fighting spirit that was about to be broken.

But still can’t even draw a sword.

From the depths of his heart, the fear that engulfed his twenty-twenty body could not be shaken off.

All he could do was feel hopeless and helpless, and desperately raise his magical powers to break free from bondage.

That was then.

jerk.

The sound of footsteps breaking the silence.

Her eyes were wide open.

The 7th lord was slowly approaching the monster.

As if this intense pressure had no effect on him in the slightest, as if taking a walk.

The monster tilted its head and lowered its head slowly.

With that small movement, the wind pressure rose and the ground rumbled.

It was as if he was wondering why there were prey that could move casually.

Close enough to reach with an outstretched hand.

The 7th lord, standing right in front of the monster, looked precarious as if he would be sucked in even if he opened his mouth and took a breath.

The 7th lord stretched out his hand slowly.

In the eyes of Ashel, it was a calm gesture that did not contain any killing intent or energy. And the moment your fingertips touched the monster.

He smiled as if it was insignificant and said softly.

“Did I look like your food?”

The huge body of the monster collapsed with a huge vibration.

Super Regeneration (3)

Belvagora’s body collapsed and hit the ground.

I almost fell over at the shock, but I managed to regain my center.

I looked at the fallen man, feeling as if I had barely come back to life from the threshold of hell.

The fact that he died instantly with his eyes open and did not move was as if only the soul had been annihilated by leaving a huge shell.

‘This was really breathtaking…’

It was a little exaggerated and the size difference was enough to be compared to humans and ants.

If he had just clicked his tongue once, I would have been thrown out of nowhere and die horribly. I can only say I was really lucky.

In the end, when I was able to make contact safely, I was so excited that even nonsense came out.

Even in the situation just before the end of the war, it was such a leisurely pace, because of the spirit of the king, my mind must have lost some taste.

“Ahhh.”

With a faint moan, I turned to the side of the two of them.

With a face that seemed to have exhausted his soul, he saw Khan slumped on the floor.

Ashel stood there with her eyes wide open and stared blankly. It was only now that he was out of the pier.

The atmosphere was engulfed in silence, so I uttered nothing.

“There’s no such thing as a monster worthy of being in a place like this.”

“············”.

There wasn’t really an answer coming back.

Khan was almost exhausted from Pierre’s shock, so he decided to take a break and continue moving.

“sorry.”

Sitting on a rock, looking at Bellevagora’s corpse, Ashel said something out of the ordinary.

I turned my head and looked at her.

She had a basically expressionless face, so it was usually hard to read her emotions, but this time, it was clearly felt that there was something gloomy in her face.

I thought for a while as to why I was suddenly apologizing, and then I realized.

‘Are you saying I didn’t escort properly?’

This was a completely unexpected disaster.

It was far beyond her abilities, so there was no reason to blame.

How would she deal with a monster that the monarch could only deal with on his own?

However, it seemed that he himself could not tolerate the failure to fulfill the given responsibilities. I used to have this kind of personality.

Achel was the person who seemed to have portrayed such ignorance as being serious in everything and limitlessly strict with himself.

‘Ah…or is it?’

Maybe it was the shock that I couldn’t even resist even the slightest bit of resistance in front of Bellevagora.

I opened my mouth.

“Among some monsters and races, there are rare things that emit peers.”

Ashel blinked her eyes.

A reaction that doesn’t understand what you’re saying. It seems like he didn’t know either.

Fear was a little-known kind of ability because the monsters he had were rare and had no definite shape.

Moreover, if it was her level, even if she had met other monsters emitting peers, it would not have been affected at all.

So, it was not unreasonable to say that even if my pride was hurt by this unfamiliar experience.

“The ability to inflict fear, especially in opponents weaker than itself. Usually, they completely lose the will to fight and fall into a panic.”

“······ah.”

At that moment, Ashel looked at Bellevagora’s body as if surprised.
