‘End Root’.

Though it was an end part of the root it was so big that it looked like a piece of land.

Hansoo spoke towards the people who had been jumping onto the burning tree root.

“That’s really comforting. Seriously.”

‘Dammit. I should get away fast.’

‘…What do I do? Do I stick with him a little longer?’

He has yet to push them away.

It would helpful if he took him.

But Yohan shook his head as he looked at the 150 people who were glaring at Hansoo with eyes of resentment.

If they were to go along, it’ll be very comfortable for the time being.

But he could not control him.

He clearly figured this out from the earlier incident.

And him going into the sea while covered in lights and crus.h.i.+ng apart the merfolk solidified this even further.

If he could control a guy like this properly then it’ll be of great help.

But Yohan shook his head.

n.o.body likes somebody who increases the chances of danger.

‘The head of a snake… is better than a dragon’s tail.’ (*PR Note: He enjoys being a big fish in a small pond, rather than a lackey to Hansoo the dragon)

Yohan, who had chosen the 150 people over Hansoo, looked at Hansoo and spoke:

Hansoo shrugged his shoulders.

Hansoo thought of his conversation with Keldian as he looked at the 150 people disappearing into the depths of the blazing roots and ruins.

The five calamities were basically like natural disasters for those who crossed the Red Zone.

And they didn’t have the leisure to think about how to prevent the natural disasters.

One would spend time figuring out how to dodge a hurricane rather than how to get rid of it.

And even more so if there are imminent dangers around them such as tigers and murderers roaming around.

They had prepared with the knowledge of all the remaining humans but that was not enough.

He had to think of how to act perfectly.

And because of this he had to find somebody who could fill this up with experience.

Like an adventurer exploring the Amazon forest, even after getting a whole truck for preparations and plan for months, he would still look for a local guide.

She could be anywhere in this vast world since that woman had the ability to be anywhere whether it is the End root, Base root, Middle root or even the Trunk.

Of course one would be at that level if they spent 3 years in the Otherworld even if they had focused on hunting down the Calamity Fish.

‘Well. It’s normal for people to have gone up already.’

‘She should probably be at the cross right now?’

Since such things only exist in the tutorial area.

If you think of the reason why Camille Rowe was attempting the Calamity Fish hunting then it is obvious that she would be around the Cross at this moment.

‘…it seems our direction is the same.’

And then he jumped onto the boat and started to pull out all the planks that had been holding out the toxic waters.

And soon the boat that had been enduring the 3 days of sails made large noises as it sunk beneath the toxic sea.

Hansoo who had cleaned up everything moved his footsteps towards the direction where Yohan and the others had disappeared to.

“Dammit… though we’ve experienced it on the third floor of the tower it’s really hot.”

The fire that had been set all around them without anything to burn was constantly blazing.

But now they had to constantly live in such a place.

They had hunted the beasts and traveled while eating the meat and drinking their blood on the Third Floor.

Though it was easy to catch them because 150 people had gathered but they could not eat it even if they tried.

But Yohan shook his head.

There was probably a way since they wouldn’t leave them to die just like that.

At that moment somebody next to Yohan shouted out loudly.

“What?”

The Cross.

But Yohan shouted out loudly.

Everyone made slightly disappointed expressions at those words.

“…wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

One person asked carefully.

The Cross.

Since it’ll be hard for people who had experienced it in the tutorial to just pa.s.s by it.

‘…It’s so blunt that it’s even more confusing.’

“Don’t worry. Those who are careful are quite annoying. They need people to come to it. If they made the Cross then why not go over and have a look at it? You could finish it off after grouping up.”

Everyone’s expression froze at the man who had appeared above the blazing ruins in an instant.

‘Did he run here from the Cross?’

“Let’s see 148 people. Quite nice. For such a number to come in a group without a Lord.”

“What do you want?”

It was clear to them that this guy was someone who had come earlier.

‘A foreigner… and he has no problem conversing with us.’

The blue-eyed man chuckled as he spoke.

“What?”

“…you are clearly an angel. You expect us to believe that?”

How did this guy expect them to trust him.

“There are always people like you. People who are very suspicious. But remember. It’s good to be suspicious but if that p.i.s.ses others off then it’ll be hard to live long.”

“You just need to thank the people from my group from now on. There’s no reason to follow us so just listen.”

“Eres Valentine. She’s the one who had created our

clan 20 years ago and had gone up.”

“Let’s see. After that is… a steady backbone of the clan, Kyle Cooper. Baek Jongsang. Arc Mariangt, these three. You don’t need to know about the details.”

‘How would these guys meet three of the seven departed souls?’

The man who shook his head from side to side spoke again.

“…keep going.”

‘What. Does we want to have a go at it?’

If he was alone of course.

“You should least thank our thirty thousand helpers running around in this s.h.i.+tty End root, though they were sponsored to do so.”

The man smiled at Yohan who had replied to his words with a fearful expression.

But the man swapped these words back.

And in reality these guys, who had been making enraged expressions, prepared to pay attention with dispirited expressions after hearing about thirty thousand people.

This was a clear evidence that these guys were beginners.

‘Well. That’s why we exist.’

Whatever happened he needed to do everything he was tasked to do so these guys don’t just die off.

The man looked at Yohan as he spoke.

“…speak.”

The man continued to speak.

“…?”

“It’s a quite harsh place so there are a lot of people with different circ.u.mstances. So theoretically some people, who have no reason to be here, come down all the way to the End Roots.”

But those who are at the Base root or the Trunk, or even above that, sometimes come down to here, the End root.

“So the things you guys need to do is not to randomly quarrel with random people just because they move in small groups. If you don’t want to get ripped apart. And it’s even more dangerous to target somebody just because they’re pretty.”

These people wouldn’t usually touch the newly-hatched chicks at the End root due to a few unspoken rules but there was no one who would tell them to ignore getting aggravated.

‘Let’s see… Camille Rowe. Where did this lady go.’

And coincidentally Camille Rowe was nearby.

If those who were doing well in the tutorial think that they would do well here then it was a very big misunderstanding.

The tutorial was basically a place where they toned down the difficulty so they can prepare for the Otherworld and in a place like this where one can get stronger day by day, 1 or 2 years of difference was very big.

“…didn’t you say that you wouldn’t touch beginners? That you would get killed if you do so?”

“That’s right.”

“Hnng?”

Boooooom!

“No seriously. What’s the problem? I’m telling you I’ll help you kill the Calamity Fish?”

The people who were watching the ruins being destroyed shrugged their shoulders and looked at the guy who said he was from the Helper Clan and the man made a helpless expression at the unexpected situation.

Hansoo shrugged his shoulders after looking at Camille Rowe who was charging at him.

It seems like there was a misunderstanding but if things were to go on like this then they needed a serious talk with each other.

Hansoo started to cover his body with Demonic Dragon Reinforcement in order to progress the talk.
