Episode 753: Intruders
The road south was not difficult.
It was full of terrain, monsters, and annoying things.
“Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve caught a disaster.”
“In the past, I had a hard time figuring out the rules and breaking them.”
We also encountered disasters of a type never before seen.
Of course, that wasn’t a problem.
The story about those guys being picky is when there was no chaos.
Now that I’m fighting against the shards of chaos, I can break their rules and crush them with force.
Well, there are some outliers even in disasters, so if you meet one of those, you’ll have to be a little more aggressive.
No one worried about that.
“I wish I could meet an agent monster. I get bored because I only deal with small fry.”
Those present here are already superhumans, and even within that, they have reached a high level.
I haven’t encountered any intermediate monsters since the museum.
To begin with, they weren’t the type of guys you’d see very often.
There are over 80 species that have been discovered.
If you say it like this, it may seem like a lot, but if you think about it, they are scattered throughout the 99th floor, so it’s more difficult to encounter them.
‘Did I meet them a lot?’
I felt a little wronged, but what could I do?
Those monsters tend to appear more often in places where there are people.
[Title, The One Who Receives the Suspicious Invitation Brilliantly] [Title, The King of the Forgotten World Shines.]
With the chaos that had built up over time and the title I had, there were quite a few weirdos who took interest in me.
The monsters had a concept, and most of them were the dregs that the king of the worshippers had taken and then spat out.
Because they were no different from the remnants of forgotten beings.
Moreover, the monsters themselves have similar tendencies.
The first expedition we met was also disbanded and forgotten by people.
Now that the 5th Exploration Team has been revived, it must have disappeared.
Well, I come across lower level monsters quite often, except for intermediate level ones.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if there was peace? Since Evil Eye is here, we’ll run into other guys anyway.”
“That’s true. If this guy had been in the disposal team a long time ago, we would have wiped him out.”
“Kellen, words are seeds. Right now, only low-level ones appear, but if several intermediate-level ones or higher appear, it’ll be a headache.”
“That’s right! Hit that snout hard!”
You can tell just by looking at the reactions of the guys I hang out with.
Is it good?
Anyway, one of our goals included dealing with the monsters.
Well, that’s true.

“Why doesn’t it seem like the number is increasing?”
The further south you go, the more frequently they appear.
It’s not a natural flow.
“That’s definitely strange.”
“Usually the further you go away, the less it decreases.”
This part is tricky.
If the numbers simply increase, then yes, that’s fine.
Because some guys wandering around out of town might have found us and come flocking to us.
but.
“Milar, how many new monsters have we encountered?”
“There are 12 of them. I’m writing them down.”
“That’s a bit excessive.”
It would be different if new monsters were mixed in.
The history of the expedition is long and they have discovered and recorded quite a few types of strange creatures.
An encyclopedia, a strange object possessed by the expedition leader, Miler.
There, all the strange entities recorded by the expedition are synchronized and updated in real time.
All recent updates have been done by Miler.
In short, this means that, except for us, no other expedition team has encountered a new type of monster.
There are three major possibilities.
‘It’s really because of me that those who were stuck in the corner came out.’
“Could it be that the King of Worshipers has further expanded the concept?”
“It’s possible, since it’s out of observation.”
It is possible that the concept held by the King of Worshippers was further expanded.
The reaction may have resulted in the creation of a new object.
One more thing.
I don’t want to imagine it, though.
“It may have come from the kingdom of the worshippers.”
It might have been a sign of their activity.
Nyangpun opens his eyes wide in surprise.
“Huh? Wasn’t that the north?”
“That’s why it’s more of a problem.”

“Eww! Why! Why! It’s all Evil Eye’s fault! Yaaaaap!”
Puk puk. I grabbed the head of the cat that was hitting my stomach with its fist and pulled it off.
Surprisingly enough, I can’t argue with the statement that it’s my fault.
If you are attracted to my title, the King of Worshipers, the concept or the monstrosity is solved.

‘The guy is after me, so it must be me who is causing it.’
It must be true that changes have occurred because of me.
There may be other reasons.
Either way, it seems like it would be better not to let up.
Didn’t the guy even show up once?
Not in front of us as if mocking us, but to those we have saved.
In other words,
‘There’s a good chance he knows our location.’
It’s not a doubt, it’s a certainty.
We already know well the obsession and persistence of the worshippers.
At the timing of letting out a small sigh, Mylar raised his hand.
“Everyone stop.”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“A named person just appeared on the map.”
There have been changes to the monster tracking map.
At the word “named”, everyone’s playful expression disappeared and their hands reached for their weapons.
It meant that it was a mid-level or higher monster that had not been caught yet.
It was a target that had no strategy yet.
“I hope it ends up like a museum, but be careful because it might not.”
There was no guarantee that we would be able to catch it.
If you catch it, good luck. If you fail, you die.
That was the battle here.
Running away is also a method.
‘It’s not easy.’
Even the lower levels follow you persistently depending on their type, so how much more so the middle levels.
Even in the Mysterious Museum, once you enter its territory, it’s a guy who appears endlessly in front of you.
“Just wait a moment. It doesn’t look like he’s coming this way.”
Mylar examines the map carefully.
As he said, the named monster was moving in a different direction.
Kelen, who had been watching the scene carefully, opens his mouth.
“Wasn’t this guy in the east before?”
“Since it’s not a stationary monster, it might have moved this way.”
“That’s true. As far as I know, this guy has a wide territory, I’ve never seen him go to a different area.”
“Oh. By the way, you said you fought this guy before, right?”
Kelan nods.

Judging by Rebecca’s expression of ignorance, it seems like it happened after she left the processing team.
“It’s hard to even call it a fight. He just stabbed me a few times and ran away. We don’t get along well.”
“He’s known as a difficult guy.”
What kind of guy is he?
Although his personality is a bit like that, Kelan is strong.
There must be a reason why that guy ran away as soon as he saw him.
I became curious and checked the map.
In the picture, which moves while lingering.
[A world of only me]
The guy’s name was written on it.
I can’t guess what it is just by looking at this.
Is this a combat-specific object?
Killing everyone except yourself?
Or something like that.
“As soon as I cut that guy down, he started multiplying. I was able to make up to 34 of them.”
“Infinite proliferation. That’s his specialty.”
“Amplified objects also have the same properties.”
A monster that grows endlessly and eventually causes all other living beings to cease to exist.
It is true that it is not compatible with Kelan who uses dual swords.
Of course, that’s not all.
“That guy, doesn’t he swell up even if I don’t attack him?”
“That’s right. And it’s suddenly gotten bigger. The bigger problem is that if you stick with him, you’ll gradually become like him.”
One concept related to division or proliferation.
The remaining one is synchronization. Maybe it’s a concept like transformation, contagion, or mirror.
These are indeed fraudulent specifications.
Still, one question remains.
“Why are you still doing that? If what you say is true, you should have the entire field by now.”
If it multiplies infinitely, shouldn’t it continue to divide?
The combat power itself doesn’t seem to be much, but it seems like it will increase even if it’s cut and if it’s left alone it will increase as well.
“I don’t know. I don’t know the exact cause, but from what I’ve heard from people I’ve met, it’s usually one person. At most, three or four.”
“That means the number has decreased.”
“There are a few guesses. The lifespan of the fragments is short, and they disappear when there are no people around.”
“I don’t know about the other guys, but I recommend that the expedition team avoid that guy if possible.”
If you don’t know for sure, it’s best not to touch it.
If you touch it wrong and a non-disappearing fragment pops out, it could be a problem.
Moreover, due to its nature, even just being next to it can be a problem.

What if a guy like that shows up in a crowded place?
‘That would be a mess in its own right.’
The more people there are, the more dangerous the monster is.
I’m also wondering if it would be better to just burn it with a fire bomb or blow it up instead of cutting it.
“Let’s take a detour.”
There was no need to take risks.
It looks like other people want to do the same.
In the case of Nyangpun.
“Okay! What’s the point of fighting? Peace is the best!”
They raised their hands and cheered.
Once you’ve made a choice, you have to move.
As always.
Not many things turned out exactly as planned.
* * *
Fighting multiple enemies with a small force is something I am used to.
There were many cases where I moved alone, but the ones targeting me basically moved in groups.
The skills I have also often shine when dealing with multiple people.
“Still, this is too much!”
-Kwaaaaang!
I blew away the guys who were rushing at me by detonating fire bombs.
However, they were infinitely weak compared to their momentum.
-Bugurur.
The pieces that had been scattered are boiling up and forming again.
A world where only I am the named monster.
That’s the guy’s ability.
I guess I should say that it’s fortunate.
However, completely burned pieces did not reproduce.
“No. Isn’t it too much to multiply from just one piece of finger?”
Even without that, there were just too many proliferating objects.
What if your fighting power is lacking?
Overwhelming quantity is violence in itself.
Human stamina is not infinite and it tends to diminish over time.
On the contrary, the guy is a monster who grows bigger and bigger as time passes.
Even if we give in a hundred steps, this is okay up to here.
Even if it’s dirty, you can just get out of that guy’s territory.

Yeah, if only he was here.
“Catch him! Attack him!”
“Pour it out! They’re buried in the monster anyway, so they can’t aim here!”
What if there was a worshipper who attacked the guy with a shield?
How is it? It’s a taste of death.
“Ah! If only I was next to those guys!”
“Hahahaha! Can you even come this far?”
“Now is the time! Keep attacking!”
I felt like this was the moment, so I gritted my teeth as I watched the guys attack from a distance.
There are just too many guys holding back.
Basically, it’s a mid-level monster, so it has a strong body, but it only grows longer when you hit it.
What’s even more absurd is…
‘Why are there dozens of them from the beginning!’
One. The guy who usually roams around in groups of three or four has brought dozens from the start.
Even though we were avoiding him and moving south, he chased us.
As if under someone’s orders.
I don’t doubt it. I can’t help but think it’s true.
Why?
“Those cultists, you must have been creating a territory in the south.”
Surprisingly, there were worshippers in the south.
They were developing new territory in a place located directly opposite their home base in the north.
As soon as they discovered them and attacked, the monsters rushed at them.
I heard that a new type of monster was running around, and it looks like it was spread to assist them.
“11 o’clock, two more monsters!”
“There are so many of them that it’s really overwhelming.”
“These guys are annoying!”
Team members who are fighting hard.
What should I do?
Wouldn’t it be right to leave it to this side and deal with the worshippers first, even if it means pushing things a little?
In this situation, it would be dangerous if even one more intermediate monster appeared.
“There’s nothing I can do.”
We have to do something before things get any worse.
The timing is right to step forward with that determination.
[Heavenly Punishment (SSS) Lv.10+]
-Kwarrrrrrung!
“Khaaak!”

“Eww!”
A lightning strike struck the worshipper’s head.
A familiar sight.
“Jiriri Fairy?”
On the 98th floor, the Jjiriri fairy who died with the bald man has come up to the 99th floor.
