VROOOOM!
The mana bike roared forward.
Its destination: the source of the Yalu River.
Thanks to the combination of maximum output and [Linear Gate], the river soon came into view.
“There it is.”
No people in sight near the Yalu.
No monsters either.
Because of “them”—the ones who now occupied the entire river.
As Su-ho approached the river's edge—
FWSSSHH!
Something flew straight toward him.
He quickly turned his bike, dodging it, and brought the vehicle to a halt.
“It’s begun.”
It wasn’t a stray rock.
It was a spear—razor-sharp and clearly aimed to kill.
Su-ho dismounted and stowed the mana bike in subspace.
The mana bike was /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ a precious resource.
In rugged terrain like this, especially when traveling long distances alone, nothing beat the mana bike.
The moment he stored it, another volley of spears rained down on the same spot.
FWSSSHH!
CRACK! CRACK!
Naturally, none touched Su-ho.
The footwork of a master was different.
With minimal movement, he dodged them all with ease.
A few more rounds came, but the spears never once struck their mark.
That was the trigger.
— Chiiiiik!!
Unable to contain their rage, “they” finally showed themselves.
The ones who had been silently hurling spears from afar were none other than...
Lizardmen.
— Yalu River Lizardman, Lv. 207
Not just any Lizardmen—Yalu River Lizardmen.
That was their name.
Or more accurately, their names.
“Chaja?”
“Chajak?”
“Chajaja?”
More appeared one after another.
Not just a few. A swarm.
They multiplied like ants, and these were the very beings responsible for the calamity between China and North Korea.
“So they were only around level 200 in this era.”
Even so, considering the Cataclysm hadn’t even reached its midpoint yet, their levels were absurdly high.
But their true strength didn’t just come from levels alone.
“Chaja?”
