“Ouch! The light's gone! Nanny, what did I do wrong? ”
A young girl who is helpless with a communication device as big as her fist.
The nanny who was next to the girl's question was embarrassed and looked at the communication station.
“Er... I've never used a communication station before... Maybe they've lost communication? ”
“Is that so? What if I made a mistake... My brother Baran left it to me... ”
“You'll be all right, Miss Leanne. ”
Lian de Karsia.
A Karsia girl who has been Baran's only sister since Jansen's death.
“When are you coming back? I still have to tell my brother... ”
“Lord Baran will need at least two months to return. Monster subjugation is always over. ”
Now is the time when the Four Kingdoms work together to subdue monsters every two years.
It wasn't a life-threatening subjugation like a monster wave, but it was a pretty important event for the Four Kingdoms.
Baran was the sole heir to the Karsia family, so he was represented.
“I hope you come back soon. Seems like you've been waiting for a lot of communication. ”
Lian is holding a communication hub in Baran that connects directly with Kaiyan.
Before he joined the subjugation, he left it with Lian in case anything happened. Personal communication is forbidden from participating in the subjugation.
“Lady Leanne seems to like him. ”
“Of course. Only one.... He's my brother.”
Lian closes his eyes for a moment, thinking of Jansen, his second brother.
“I sometimes find it frightening to see Baran. Especially since I've heard about you and the owner lately... Oh no! I made a mistake... ”
As the woman named Nanny speaks, she hurriedly closes her mouth and looks into Lean's eyes.
“It's okay, nanny. I... I know. I don't want to fight my mom and my brother. ”
Since Jansen's death, the Marquis's wife and Baran have parted ways.
It doesn't feel strange to have a war in the family right now.
“... I don't want anyone to die anymore. ”
Jansen's death was a huge shock to Lian. Moreover, since Baran was the first person to kill him, the impact is even greater.
“I wish I could go back to the way things were.... ”
When Lean closes her eyes, past things come to her mind.
Baran and Jansen carefully hugged each other as they watched themselves walking.
There was definitely a smile on both of their faces until then.

[Kaiyan, do you intend to return to the Rumvanium when you hear from Baran?]
“No, we're already here. We need to get to Antigas. Even if he does help us, it's going to take a while to get the information. ”
The Kemon Mountains are located to the east of the Mareon Empire.
Beyond the Kemon Mountains is another empire just below Antigas territory, heading your way.
“Whew…. It's really, really high. You still look a little puffy from the bottom, but you can't be serious from the top, right? ”
Ugh... I'm starting to freak out again. I thought I was adapting to the sky.]
Climbing the rocks protruding from the middle of the mountain range and looking down, you can see the ruined Lumvanium Castle far away.
Impossible, given that it's a long way from here to there, unless it's your ability.
“We will definitely catch the culprit. The one who killed Smith in the plains of Lewis. ”
[I like that too.... Don't overdo it. I'm afraid you'll collapse.]
Looking at Lumbanium Castle, I recall Smith, who had been cruelly killed by someone.
I searched the plains to catch the man who killed him, but I couldn't.
“Come to think of it, there's been so much going on in such a short time. I never thought I'd have to go through something like this until the first time I went to war. ”
Until I lived happily in Bernov, I thought I was the center of the world.
What broke my mind was when the monsters invaded the village and their families died.
“That changed everything. ”
[Kaiyan...]
The feeling of hatred that has kept me from collapsing until now.
“But…. Now I have a personal interest, not just hatred. How far will I grow, what is hidden on the continent of UNESIA? ”
With a feeling of hatred filled inside, there was a new emotion growing in the sand.
“So don't worry too much, Liekah. I'm growing properly thanks to you. ”
Yeah, well, maybe it wouldn't have been possible on its own.
Maybe one day he was consumed by a huge hatred. But Rica is always there for me.
[Yes! We, uh... There are four of them, including the wind and the blacks! If we work together, we can accomplish anything!]
“Haha, yes. Let's get back up there. ”
Rises from your seat, holding Riekah in your arms.
Even if you raise your head, you can't see it because of the clouds around the mountains.
I took a step to get to the top.
Pa-bak!
“There are quite a few monsters here, too. Mostly small monsters. ”
Even at the mouth of the mountain range, I felt nothing but animal intelligence. As I got to the top, the energy of the monsters around me increased.
[Did the Mareon Empire leave the monsters alone? Cleaning up monsters would have been an easy task for the Empire.]
“Maybe it's about activating the border? People won't use this place if there are too many monsters in the mountains. ”
[Oh, that makes sense. If there are monsters, they won't need to consume troops.]
If you look at the map you bought before, the Kemon Mountains are not a normal road.
In a way, it's safe to assume that no one in the Mareon Empire passes through here but me.
“Yes. On the scale of the mountain range, it would require a tremendous number of soldiers. In a way, they're using the monsters in the Kemon Mountains. ”
Thanks to you, I was able to get to Antigas faster, ignoring the bothersome process of passage.
You quickly ascend to the top of the mountain range, ignoring the monsters around you.
Suzus.
When I entered the clouds surrounding the mountains, the first thing I greeted was the cold air.
“Liekah, should I take out the heat shield? ”
I was tolerable, but I shook my head when I asked her about her concern.
[It's been a while since I've been at Harvey's. No problem!]
It was a place where Harv Mime was not cold, but felt cold by its strange energy.
“Yes, talk to me if it's cold. ”
[Yes! What do you think about that monster? It looks amazing.]
There were two crooked monsters that looked like bears and Trolls where Rika pointed with short forelegs.
He is surrounded by white and brown fur to live in cold places.
“A monster living in the cold mountains... I don't remember much from Jeff. Let's take care of it.”
When I hit the hard frozen ground and approached them, the angry bastards swung their fists while eating something.
Whoo-hoo!
“At best, it's medium-sized. With a fist like this... Haaaaa!”
Monsters in the continent that have been fighting for a long time are not boring enough to yawn.
I dodged his fist lightly and dug in and reached out my right hand.
Phew!
“... I must have gotten stronger. ”
Ugh...]
The one whose torso exploded into a barrel like it was authentically hit by a similar ballista.
As I stared at his fist, surprised by the power beyond my imagination, his people began to flee in a hurry.
“Cough!! ”
“No matter how monstrous you are, you mustn't abandon your allies. ”
Shhh.
A sword that is drawn for the first time since returning.
As soon as I pulled out my sword, I swung it at him, and he flew away with a sharp wave.
Swaak
Puhhhhh!
Power that banishes two fellows even though it is not a proper error wing.
Compared to before leaving for Harv Mime, I could feel it growing too strong with my fingertips.
“They're so fresh, but whatever they eat... People?”
Looking down, there was something presumed to be a human corpse with red blood.
I didn't think they were the same person I was.
“... I would have killed you more cruelly if I'd known this. ”
Ugh... But I'm surprised you have people here. This isn't the normal route.]
Considering the hot blood fever, he hasn't been dead that long.
As you lift your senses and search the area, you can feel the energy of the people heading towards Antigas from a short distance.
“That's not one or two. Are we really going to take this rough road and go to Antigas? Criminals.”
[I'm not good enough to abandon my colleagues and run away... Tsk, tsk. I feel sorry for the dead.]
If you've come this way to get to the border safely, there's a reason.
Plus, Lika said he barely got past two middle-sized guys and ran.
“I'm curious. Let's see who we have on the way anyway. ”
I quickly approached the place where I felt their energy, submerged in the ground.
‘Criminals…. I'll have to kill you.’
If they're criminals, they've committed crimes far enough across the border.
They're like monsters to me. Those things aren't worth living in the world.
Pa-bak!
You can see five people ascending the turbulent mountain range a few minutes away, perhaps moving quickly.
[It's them! I'm being chased by a monster.]
“Mmmm... Let's get close and keep an eye on things. ”
As you approach quicker, carefully killing the wheels and sounds, you hear the sound of their conversation in your ears.
“Merchant! At this rate, he'll catch us! ”
“Ugh! But there's no way! It was a mistake to keep climbing mountains amongst ourselves in the yard where all the mercenaries had died. ”
I think I've seen him somewhere. ’
When I saw a middle-aged man with his hair cut off talking to a merchant, I remembered something.
I must have seen it somewhere.
“Ah! It's him. The Lucuba Merchants Guild.”
[The Lucuba Merchants Guild? Was that the merchant you met there? I don't remember...]
“No, the merchant who came out of his residence and told me there was a Lucuba Merchant Guild when he visited Vratan. ”
[Ah! You mean the Foil Merchant Guild?]
“Yes.”
I thought you were meant to be passing by, but I didn't expect to see you in a place like this.
I didn't really have anything to do with him because he actually had a few words with him, but I felt happy for him.
Grrrgh!
“I need your help.”
As they were caught by the monsters immediately, they let go and ran out.
“Glug! Glug! ”
“Ouch! Gotcha! Please, God! ”
“Mason!! You monster! Let her go!”
Perhaps I was too late, but the merchant caught the last of the five chubby faces.
At this rate, the merchant will die before killing him.
‘Strengthen the flesh, activate the error! ’
I never thought I'd be able to use two skills simultaneously because he's not even a Named Monster.
Cuaaaaa
A force that spills with tremors deep within.
While enjoying its power, I hit the ground and flew toward the monster several times faster than before.
Clavicular fluid
“Cough?”
When he flew in like the wind, the man who was about to eat the merchant looked embarrassed.
“What are you looking at?”
Phew!
His torso explodes as if it were evaporating, except for the arm holding the merchant.
You activate Armor in a hurry to stop the dirty green skin from spreading everywhere.
“Phew... I almost threw my clothes away. ”
[My hair almost turned green!]
“But I still save people.... ”
“Aaaah! Please, save me! I'm terrible!! I'm a rabbit-like wife at home. A wife like a bear... ”
A merchant who covers his face with his arms and spits out strange noises in case he doesn't know he's still alive.
Exhale and pat him on the shoulder twice.
“Aaaaah! I'm going to die!! Merchant! Help me!! ”
“ …. ”
[... You're very scared.]
“Ouch! The light's gone! Nanny, what did I do wrong? ”
A young girl who is helpless with a communication device as big as her fist.
The nanny who was next to the girl's question was embarrassed and looked at the communication station.
