“Wow… . In reality, it’s really big… !”

“That’s right. After all, seeing a photo and seeing it in person is different… .”

Jin Seo-won listened to the conversation between Bang Han-na and Kim Na-rae, who were walking ahead of them, and looked around.

High-rising rocky mountains and a soft cloud of fog.

Bamboo trees grew densely around it, and it was very similar to the terrain commonly seen in martial arts backgrounds.

‘It’s similar to the place I went to before.’

Unlike the two people who were unfamiliar with this type of terrain, Jinseowon, who had already experienced training in Dowonhyang, did not feel any special feelings.

I just felt that the cool weather was quite refreshing.

[ Guys. The safe zone will soon end. ]

At that time, instructions came from Do Ji-hyeok, who was commanding from outside.

The safe zone would soon end, so they told us to prepare in advance.

“Okay! Everyone, we will move in formation 2!”

When Bang Hanna, who was the leader and in charge of conducting the scene, gave an order, Kim Na-rae, who was walking ahead of her, immediately fell behind and naturally put Bang Hanna in the lead.

It was a defensive formation that advanced with tanks at the forefront.

“Seowon doesn’t seem nervous at all?”

Jin Seo-won, who glanced at the question of Kim Na-rae, who was walking side by side, looked at Kim Na-rae’s expression of strange tension and asked a question vaguely.

“… Are you nervous?”

“Umm… . It would be a lie if I said I wouldn’t, right?”

Although not as restless as Bang Han-na, Kim Na-rae was definitely nervous as well.

Anyway, this is her first time participating in an official subjugation battle.

However, he was just trying to pretend to be calm, thinking that since he was the elder, he should not bother his younger siblings.

“Oh… !”

Right then.

“Monster discovered 80m ahead!”

Bang Han-na, who had previously been on guard around the area, was informed of the monster’s appearance.

“Five Blue Drakes! As per the plan, I will only take down the boss!”

Blue Drake, the weakest C-class monster among the Drake types, is a monster that often appears at B-class gates.

They generally travel in groups of about four or five, and if the leader of the group is defeated first, they lose their will to fight and run away.

“Narae unnie!”

“Yes! Leave it to me!”

Realizing that her turn had come, Na-rae Kim grasped her staff tightly, took a short deep breath to shake off the tension, raised her magical power, and summoned the fire spirit.

Grumbling───!

Then, as he had practiced countless times, he aimed at the leader at the center of the group and gave instructions to the spirit.

“Garat… !”

Whoa… …

The spirit looked directly at the leader and took a stance as if shooting an arrow.

Grrr! Pow-!

Soon, it shot out a flame and hit the leader’s body.

Kieee will help

Surprised by the surprise attack, the leader cried loudly and urgently gave instructions to the other Drakes.

Keee… … !

Kieeeh… !

However, regular Blue Drakes with narrow vision were unable to find the enemy and began to panic.

Whisk!

Wow… … !

When the leader, unable to withstand the shock, collapsed, the other Blue Drakes abandoned the leader and ran away.

“Scattered!”

Do Ji-hyuk, who received Bang Han-na’s briefing, happily praised Kim Na-rae’s performance.

[Narae did very well. It’s my first attempt, and I’m not even nervous… . Isn’t it great? ]

“Thank you… !”

[They’ve probably joined another group, so let’s avoid them as much as possible and move forward quickly. ]

“Yes… !”

While continuing to advance in a defensive formation.

Jin Seo-won, who had only been watching quietly during the monumental first battle, took turns quietly looking at Bang Han-na, who was walking briskly while being wary of their surroundings, and Kim Na-rae, who was holding back her laughter while holding her cane.

“… … .”

I was secretly jealous of the two people who showed good performance.

but… .

Jin Seo-won did not realize that the emotion he was harboring was ‘envy.’

Without realizing it, he had been steadily gathering the ‘emotion’ that would become the fuel for his Heavenly Demon Demonic Art.

As with all abilities, the Heavenly Demon Divine Gong is particularly characterized by its emphasis on overwhelming destructive power and power.

This incredible ability can become infinitely stronger depending on the user,

The stronger your desire for power, the faster and bigger you grow… .

In general, the desire for destructive power comes from negative emotions.

Even with the same negative emotion, the quality varies depending on who has that emotion.

in other words… .

If Bang Han-na, who was born with a good temperament, had mastered it, it would have been only an A-level ability.

For Jin Seowon, who is like white drawing paper, it can be said to be an ability with infinite potential.

“… Over there, the tombstone.”

“Uh!”

“It’s the entrance… !”

After going through several battles, we finally reached the end of the gate.

A high wall made of huge rocks appeared, along with a small monument.

It was the place where the infamous Gwanaksan boss appeared.

“I’ll take a short break!”

After confirming that there were no other monsters around, Bang Hanna took a short rest nearby and prepared for the final battle as planned.

“Ugh… . I still can’t believe I made it this far… .”

“I thought it was just me, but it turns out it wasn’t… . Here, would you like some water?”

“Ah, yes! Thank you!”

“What about Seowon?”

“… It’s okay.”

Bang Han-na and Kim Na-rae found it quite strange that they, who had been evaluated as only D-level, were now facing the B-level gate boss.

Contrary to my worries, there were no major problems, and the process went so smoothly that I even wondered if I had entered the wrong gate… .

In fact, if we had followed the established path, we would not have had time to rest and the subjugation itself would not have felt easy.

Do Ji-hyuk planned the shortest subjugation route by looking at the data he had accumulated and even officially researched papers.

In short, they used a trick to avoid battle as much as possible by using the monsters in the field and the characteristics of the terrain.

[ Guys. While taking a break, let’s go over the strategy again. ]

“Ah, yes… !”

The strategy Do Ji-hyuk envisioned was quite simple.

Bang Han-na withstood the attack,

When Na-rae Kim gets attention,

Jin Seo-won makes a surprise attack at once and wins the match.

This ignorant strategy, designed with the logic that simple is best, is a customized tactic created based on Bang Han-na’s defensive power and Jin Seo-won’s offensive power.

This is the so-called ‘one turn kill’ tactic.

[Should we go in quickly? Is everyone ready? ]

“Yes… !”

“I’m ready!”

“… Yes.”

[ Well then, let’s get right into it. ]

Following Do Ji-hyuk’s instructions, the three people came out after a break and carefully entered the stone wall, maintaining a slight sense of tension so that they could fight at any time.

“It looks like some kind of tunnel… .”

“Sure… . How on earth did they make it… ?”

The huge stone wall was nearly 100 meters thick and had unidentifiable letters written on it in a random manner, creating a strange atmosphere.

“It’s all here… !”

Eventually we reached the end of the stone wall.

“Everyone ready, right?”

“Yes!”

“… Yes.”

“Then, here we go!”

Bang Han-na, who raised her shield while checking the members’ condition, jumped into the flood of bright light, remembering her promise to Do Ji-hyuk.

‘Two seals… !’

That moment.

“!!!”

An incredibly heavy feeling overtaking my entire body.

purr… …

When Hannah Bang noticed the huge monster crouching at the center of the high stone wall, she swallowed her saliva involuntarily.

Just like that… … Just like that… …

A huge bear-shaped monster clad in silver steel armor from head to toe.

It was the B-level monster Steel Bear, the king of Gwanaksan Mountain.

“… Sister Narae… ! Please… !”

“Yes… !”

Bang Hanna quietly gave instructions to Na-rae Kim, then separated from the group and carefully approached the steel bear.

‘Big, big…’ .’

The steel bear’s height is almost 20 meters.

It was natural for Bang Han-na to feel pressured as she had to block that huge body with her single body.

however.

‘… Well, if it’s for the right to wish… !’

Bang Han-na, who was already blinded by the power of wishing, was even able to swallow down her fears.

He sent a signal to Na-rae Kim, who was far away, and waited for Na-rae Kim to wake up the steel bear.

And after a while.

Grumbling───! Pow-!

purr… … !

The steel bear, which had not suffered any damage thanks to its strong armor, raised its huge body and began searching for the enemy.

“Ha, I can do it… !”

Hannah Bang grasped her shield tightly, remembering the attack pattern of the steel bear that had prickled her ears.

Kwaaa!!!!

Eventually, the steel bear found Hannah Bang.

The huge monster roared loudly in an attempt to threaten, and as if not giving it a chance, it raised its large paw and swung at Bang Han-na.

Huuuch!!!!

Agility unbefitting his size.

‘fast!’

Bang Han-na, who was staring at the huge foot that came right in front of her in an instant, exploded with magical energy and raised her shield.

Kooo

“Keuuuut… !”

I blocked the first attack, showing no signs of being pushed back at all.

“Narae unnie!!!”

“Go away!!!!”

Kim Na-rae’s attack continued.

Grrr! Fuuu!

Kwaaa… … !!!!!!!!

The flames shot out by the fire spirit obscured the Steel Bear’s vision and threw him into confusion for a moment.

Just as the steel bear was struggling and showing an opening, Jin Seo-won, who had been avoiding battle all along and gathering his strength until the end, began to quickly approach.

“Seowon!!!”

Jin Seo-won thought as he listened to Bang Han-na’s voice in his ear.

There is a strange earnestness in her voice.

Jin Seo-won felt very happy about Bang Han-na’s call.

Because she was so versatile and cool, I felt like she only believed in herself at this moment.

‘can do… !’

It was the moment when the envy that had been building up for so long finally ignited.

Taaaa!

Wow… … !

Jin Seo-won dug into the side, the only weak point of the steel bear, and gathered his fists, covering his entire body with black internal energy.

Dismissal… ! It’s so scary───!

and.

[ show me! Jinseowon! ]

The moment Do Ji-hyuk’s voice came out from the earphones plugged into my ears,

In the strange joy boiling over, I inadvertently raised the corners of my mouth and pounded my fist.

Kwahiah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah -ah ─────────── !!!!!!!!!!!!
