๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐: ๐๐จ๐๐ข ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ญ 3
The eyes of everyone who witnessed the scene widened.
A massive magic circle drawn on the floor and thousands of geometric shapes and letters filling it up.
A blazing red light flashed from the magic circle, and a gigantic pillar of fire surged upwards as if it was going to pierce the heavens.
The Mongolian Death Worm that was about to attack Siwoo was trapped in the flames.
โKuwooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

“You go in there and sleep!”
Siwoo crumpled Pre’s body like a piece of paper and shoved it into his pocket.
Pre had taken away about half of the mana in his dantian because of him.
It felt strange to have his mana disappear involuntarily.
“From now on, if you want to drink, drink it with some hangover cure!”

Siwoo shook his head and turned his gaze to the monster.
โKweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
The Mongolian Death Worm emerged from the flames.
Although it was for a moment, it had entered the midst of the fierce flames, so its flesh was burned here and there.
Ku-kwang-kwang-kwang-kwang-kwang!!
The monster seemed to be in pain as it began to rub its huge body against the sand of the desert.
Not only was the roar deafening, but the shards of sand that flew up covered the party like a tsunami.
“Chief! We have to get out of here quickly!”
“Damn it! It’s too late!”
“Hey~~~~! This is Benedict! I’m here! I’m waiting!”
Benedict then took out his staff and cast a spell on the pouring sand.
[Time Traveler: Song of the Wanderer]
As if turning back time, only the sand in the space where the magic was applied reversed its direction and sank.
“Wow. . . You’re quite strong.”
“Hahaha! This Benedict! The 2nd Hunter in Germany!”
“You? Really?”
“Sansar, despite what it may seem, he’s the 20th ranked hunter in the world. That aside, let’s move further away!”
Even as they conversed, the Mongolian Death Worm twisted and writhed its body violently like an eel being grilled.
If it had been an ordinary monster, they would have watched it leisurely, but the Mongolian Death Worm was not like that.
When a monster the size of a large building thrashed around, it was a disaster in itself.
The terrain of the desert was distorted, and the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Ugh, we have to kill it quickly.”
Siwoo built up layers of mana shields and flew towards it.
He spread his palms and gathered mana.
A large circular circle was drawn with spells filling it up, and a bright yellow light shone.
Siwoo decided to accelerate it one step further.
He poured mana into his bracelet, and added a stroke to the magic circuit so that it would harmonize with the magic he was about to cast.
Of course, it was a task that required careful calculation so that the mana levels of the two skills would be in harmony and their properties would not conflict with each other.
Siwoo finished all of this in less than a second and cast the skills simultaneously.
[Thunder Clap: One Flash of Brilliance] x [Takemikazuchi: Root of Lightning]
A single bolt of lightning crossed the dark sky and descended.
Kwagaga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gaใ กใ กใ กใ กใ ก!!
The fearsome lightning that devoured the darkness struck the Mongolian Death Worm’s body directly, causing it to roar with a deafening sound.
The bright yellow electric shock wrapped around the monster’s body and traveled throughout its body.
The monster lay stretched out, smoking profusely, where an incredible impact that could be believed to be a natural disaster had struck.

Pre, who had come out of his pocket and was peeking out, shouted, flapping his wings.
Siwoo frowned as he approached the Mongolian Death Worm’s head.
“What on earth did you eat to grow this big?”
Just looking at the monster’s body, which was not just big but enormously huge, raised many questions.

I wonder about that too.
“Older brother! Are you okay?”
“Oppa! As expected, you’re amazing! How did you catch this?!”
The party ran up to Siwoo and asked about his well-being.
“Grandmasterrr!! Boohoohoo. . . . I missed you. . . .”

Pre and Benedict hugged each other tightly and shed tears.
“Can we eat this?”
“Well. . . . I’ve never heard of anyone eating a Mongolian Death Worm before. . . You’re not serious, are you?”
“Oppa! I want to try it! Can I cut it up a little?”
“Older brother? Don’t let yourself be influenced by Sansar’s disgusting taste.”
“Chief? A Mongolian warrior should eat anything. It’s the blessing of the earth.”
As they were arguing with each other, the monster suddenly raised its head.
โKweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!
Was it making a last stand?
The monster’s mouth, which had tens of thousands of teeth, lunged towards Siwoo and his party.
“Disgusting.”
Siwoo drew Balmung and poured all his mana into it.
The pure white sword beam that was drawn horizontally cut through the monster’s mouth and neck and rooted itself in the horizon.
Peugeureureureureuk!!
Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the monster’s body collapsed.
“Wow. . . . Oppa is good with the sword too. But the Chief could have done the last attack instead. Chief, you’re slow.”
“I-I’m not slow, it’s just that Older brother is fast!”
Uljibataar replied, blushing with embarrassment.
“Hmm. . . .”
“Why do you say that, Older brother.”
“The magic was so thick that I couldn’t tell, but now that the monster is dead, I can feel something else. . . . A different energy.”
The strange energy that had been unknown because the magic coming from the Mongolian Death Worm had been so strong until just now.
Gulp!
Suddenly, a large lump of blood gushed out from the monster’s severed cross-section and began to squirm.
“Ugh! What is that?”
Sansar frowned as she aimed her bow at the target.
“It’s a human.”
Siwoo narrowed his eyes and answered instead.
The ‘thing’ that had fallen to the floor got up after shedding the lump of blood.
“Phew~ Ah, thanks to you, I was able to save my life. I never thought I would meet such a grateful opportunity in a desolate desert.”
A man with thin, slanted eyes said with a bright smile.
“Who are you? Identify yourself.”
Uljibataar asked in a low voice, holding his sword.
“No, please listen to me. I came here with my colleague because I had some business nearby, but my colleague, well, he’s really, really, really stingy. I only spoke three words to him in the three days we were together. Three words! Is that even human? On top of that, it’s hot during the day and freezing at night!”
The man continued to chatter on and on, brushing off the foreign matter on his clothes.
“Ah! But my colleague goes out hunting without saying a word? Where’s the harm in going with me? Oh, right! But what can I do? My colleague knows this area like the back of his hand, so I have to stay put. I was so bored that I was wandering around here and there, when suddenly the ground started shaking!”
He explained in detail, using hand gestures and body language, how urgent the situation had been at the time.
Sansar had put down her aimed bow and was now completely engrossed in his story.
“So, what happened? What happened?”
Sansar urged him to continue, swallowing her saliva.
“At first, I just stayed put. I thought I’d be fine if I came out as poop. But as I went down near the monster’s stomach, the stench, the stench was unbearable! I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I started crawling towards the monster’s mouth! I thought I’d get out someday!”
“Oh, oh~ So that’s why you just came out of the mouth?”
“Yes, that’s right. No! The monster’s teeth were so numerous that I couldn’t get out right away! I was holding on near the throat for the time being, when suddenly the monster twisted its body and moved violently. . . . On top of that, electricity started to run through my body. I thought I was going to die!”
The man expressed the horror of that moment by trembling.
Sansar nodded at the man with an admiring face, and Uljibataar looked at Siwoo with eyes that said he didn’t know what to do.
After listening to the whole story, Siwoo pointed his sword at the man.
“Ugh! Why are you doing this all of a sudden? I’ve told you everything!”
“No. You didn’t say anything about who you are.”
“Ah. . . .”
The man raised the corners of his mouth, drawing a thin line with his eyes.
“Oh, did I?”
“You did. Name, affiliation, reason for approaching the restricted area. Just say these three things. I’ll kill you if you say anything else.”
“Wow~ Your temper is different from your appearance. . . .”
Balmung touched the man’s neck.
A trickle of blood flowed down.
“Name. Affiliation. Reason.”
“I understand, I understand. Calm down.”
“. . . . . . .”
The man raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and continued.
“First of all, my name is Galsiryang. I was born in China, but I didn’t grow up there, and my affiliation is hard to say. . . . Oh? My colleague is coming from over there.”
A tremendous energy was rushing towards Siwoo and his party from the place he had pointed to.
“Why does your colleague seem to be hostile towards us?”
“Well, because there’s a sword pointed at my neck?”
Galsiryang answered with a shrug.
“I’d rather kill you, so the hostility might be a little less.”
“Oh my, you’re a good joker.”
As Siwoo straightened his posture and tried to stab him with his sword, the opponent laughed and put his hands out in a gesture of distress.
At that moment, a force capable of moving mountains and suppressing the world’s energy rushed towards Siwoo.
Kwagaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
A man even larger than Choi Dae-soo swung his fist with terrifying speed, and Siwoo swung Balmung to match his timing.
‘๐๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ข ๐ง๐ช๐ด๐ต ๐ค๐ฐ๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ข ๐ง๐ช๐ด๐ต?’
Siwoo chuckled.
His arms tingled as if he had just taken on a dump truck that was running at full speed.
The man’s face was not visible because he was wearing a white robe, but he seemed to be a head taller than Uljibataar.
“Older brother!!”
Uljibataar drew his Crescent Blade towards him and slashed it diagonally.
The opponent blocked the attack with his hand.
Jjeoreoreoreoreoreong!!
The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, and sparks flew.
It was impossible to tell for sure because he was wearing a white robe, but it seemed like he had a mace wrapped around his wrist.
“. . . . . . .”
The man glared at Uljibataar for a moment, then turned his head and rushed towards Siwoo again.
A fist like a boulder was swung.
Siwoo put away Balmung and gathered all the mana in his dantian and circulated it through his body.
And he thrust his fist towards the opponent’s fist.
Paga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!!
With an impact as if a sledgehammer had hit a solid cement floor, the opponent’s body staggered and fell back.
“Ugh? Bicataur! You’re losing in strength?!”
Galsiryang asked his colleague in a surprised voice.
“. . . . . . .”
Bicataur raised his spirits again instead of answering.
Kadddddduk!
A terrifying aura was released, and the grains of sand in the desert flew in all directions.
“No, Bicataur! That man wasn’t trying to kill me, he saved me?!”
But Bicataur ignored Galsiryang’s words and raised his fist. It would be rude to treat an opponent who was burning with fighting spirit casually.
Siwoo took out the scabbard attached to his waist and threw it towards Uljibataar.
“Take it.”
And Siwoo also opened his aura.
