Chiiiiiik.

And the toxic waters from all around tried to get in and melt down Hansoo’s body but the Red Runes endlessly sent mana into the Demonic Dragon’s Reinforcement which covered Hansoo’s body.

Otherwise the suffering he went through at the Three Gateways wouldn’t have been worth it.

Killing the endless beasts and surviving until one gets to Red runes.

If the First Gateway was a place prepared to reward the person finding it, the Third Gateway was a gateway for those who were truly worthy.

Even if it was something that the had just glanced at, as long as the testee had experienced it then it will appear in front of them after getting adjusted to the Red rune level.

.

A Dragon, the most well balanced existences.

And among those born as such that have chosen the path of the demon, the most twisted being.

Hansoo had seen it before when he had been traveling about in the deep parts of the Abyss.

Since they had no confidence in winning at all.

And he was very shocked when such a thing had appeared at the Third Gateway in a weaker state.

‘I almost fainted.’

Though that thing had only been at 0.01% of the Red rune, Hansoo still had to put his life on the line and fight it.

.

Since the Zero Numbering artifacts were things that only existed within the fantasies of people.

Of course there were people who had made such thoughts as this.

And these things were called Zero Numbering artifacts.

And in Hansoo’s opinion the skill he had gained this time definitely had the qualifications for it.

‘It’s amazing.’

Hansoo who was estimating on him the effect of the toxic water that was trying to burn his body, grabbed the neck of the Cursed Survivor that was charging at him as he nodded and then pulled out its spine.

As the spine of the survivor who had the form of a merfolk was pulled out, the survivor was shredded into bits.

Hansoo sent in the power of the Demonic Dragon Reinforcement within it and then threw it around in all directions.

The bone pieces which had a tremendous amount of force pierced through the waters and pierced into the necks of the merfolk shaped survivors who were fervently piercing holes on the bottom of the s.h.i.+p.

He didn’t know what they were shouting because they were under water but their rage could be clearly felt.

They flapped their tails and started to charge at Hansoo in a crazed manner.

Kudududk.

They screamed as they dropped their tridents.

He then twisted his body to pull out the trident that was embedded in it’s neck as he spread the spine that had come along with it all around like a projectile again.

The merfolk who had seen this all hesitated.

And the attacks from above had been getting stronger and the work of putting holes on the s.h.i.+pwas getting harder to due the swords that had been coming out from the inside.

‘Hmm. Trident. This is pretty useful.’

Though the durability slowly decreased when in contact with air but it was good enough to use for 3 days.

Hansoo gathered all eight tridents that were sinking slowly as he swam to the bottom of the s.h.i.+p which they had put holes into.

Chwaaaak.

Tuk.

“….uh?”

Hansoo shook off all the toxic waters and then approached a corner of the bas.e.m.e.nt of the s.h.i.+p.

Kudududk.

Hansoo put that on the ground as he blocked the hole where the water was coming in from.

Hansoo plugged it with the plank and then broke off the remaining Arun Tree bits into the shape of nails and then pushed it in with his fingers.

When it had been blocked off to a certain degree, Hansoo squeezed the Kelk’s Mucus sacs over it as he plugged in the gaps.

“…Hurry! Let’s do it too!”

The people saw how Hansoo had done it and quickly retrieved the materials as they started to plug up the holes like Hansoo and nailed it.

And then they squeezed the Kelk’s mucus sacs over it to close the gaps.

“Dammit… it really stings.”

The people looked at the toxic waters that had come up to the point where it splashed about with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

“If you leave it alone it will evaporate. You will breathe in the evaporated gas if you’re in here so let’s all go up.”

“Uhuk.”

Since n.o.body wanted to breathe in the evaporated gas of the toxic waters.

‘Though my health decreased slightly… this is rather amazing.’

The new 50 people and the original 100 people stared at the sea and then glared at each other after judging that the merfolk had all backed off.

“Don’t fight over there and look out over there. You can see some good stuff.”

Hansoo finished those words as he looked at the giant tree which he could see in the far distance.

Hansoo looked at the dried up trunk of the giant tree that pierced the clouds as he mumbled inwardly.

‘Dead World Tree.’

And at that moment a loud shout was heard from the person who had been scouting at the tallest place on the s.h.i.+p.

“What?”

And made expressions of joy.

Yohan also made sounds of joy.

‘Dammit. I don’t know what will come out but it’s better than this d.a.m.nable sea.’

Since they will get ma.s.sacred before being able to see anything if the s.h.i.+p were to sink.

‘People have to live with their feet on land.’

But while they were sighing in relief the s.h.i.+p betrayed their expectations.

“We aren’t getting off there?”

And everyone was disappointed as they saw this.

It looked like land but it seems like it wasn’t the destination.

The people spat out disappointed sighs as they looked at the vast sea to the back of the island.

‘…is that possibly a root and not an island?’

As if a part of a giant root had come out of the ocean and a thin layer of dirt was covering it.

Yohan made a sick expression after seeing that.

The tree root which had the form of a half submerged island looked very similar to the giant tree trunk that was holding up the skies in the distance.

It seemed like the parts of the root that was above the water is merely a very thin root of the tree.

But he thought to himself that if it’s a tree of that size the root should at least be this much.

“Is this the good stuff you were talking about?”

It was clearly something which one could not see elsewhere easily.

But Hansoo shook his head as he pointed towards something in the distance.

“What?”

A slightly different direction from the Red Zone they were heading to.

‘…is that possibly alive?’

The tree root which looked like the island was giant but the thing they could see in the distance was at a different level.

The part that was submerged below couldn’t even be guessed but the back that was rising up from the waters was much larger than a decent island and the fin that was rising above it felt like they were looking at a extremely tall cliff.

The giant fin-like structure slowly moved across the sea and was heading towards the island they had come from.

Though it had movec slowly it was so big that the distance had been crossed in an instant.

Kuuuuuuuuaaaaaaa

“f.u.c.k!”

And the creature that had moved bit apart the tree root as it started to devour it.

“Uwaaak!”

As the root that had run below the s.h.i.+p started to get ripped up by its mouth, the s.h.i.+p started to rock and roll like a wave.

If they had been slightly slower at going past that place then they would’ve all died without being able to do anything.

Since though he had said it was a good view, that thing was definitely not something cute.

The s.h.i.+ps that started off from the ten thousand tutorial areas will arrive on one of the thousands of roots that spread out from the dead World Tree according to the path that the fairy had set.

A structure where the people who started off from the tutorial would climb up from that location.

That was why it was called the

.

.

The result of Genetic Biology of Demonic creatures of the natives of the

that they created in order to defend their race from the harsh environment and one of the five calamities that dried the

to death.

Since a tree which had its roots ripped apart could not live properly.

A giant mutant that seemed like it was born to kill the World Tree.

The past he had seen it clearly.

And of course, there was nothing much to say about the fate of the newbies and the veterans who were standing on that root.

‘It’s now time for me to pay for my own meal’.

The controls turned the s.h.i.+p aggressively under Hansoo’s hands.

Towards a giant starting area root unlike the snack which it just had.

The thing he knew for sure was getting there and preparing to kill that thing.

“Hey…hey! f.u.c.k, what are you doing right now!”

The people looked at the direction of the s.h.i.+p and the direction of the giant beast and shouted at Hansoo in panic.

To follow such a thing when they have found it out of luck and could have dodged from it.

“I don’t know what you are thinking but shouldn’t you head to such a dangerous place after agreeing with everyone else? I thank you for letting us aboard but you should at least listen to our opinions when we are on the same boat.”

“I see, there are people who probably won’t agree with this.”

“I shall let you get off now then.”

“I really need to go there so what do you want me to do. People who want to get off raise your hands.”

Hansoo stared at the surroundings sea as he spoke.
