Chapter 85: Chaos and Heroes (3)

"Hows he doing now?

[He and his group have achieved victory. Theyll continue to advance, establish bases, and relentlessly strike at the enemys headquarters.]

"And what about me? Any praise for me?

[...Hold on. Hes currently surrounded by his comrades. Theyre all praising and admiring the achievements he made with you.]

Achievements made with her. At these words, a wide smile spread across Eves face.

His plan had worked.

Eve savored the exhilarating feeling of unity when Shin Woo needed her, sought her help, and ultimately achieved his accomplishments with her assistance.

"I also like that hes become stronger. Its thanks to me, so hell rely on me more, right?

[How would you rate his level?]

Its not that high, but that doesnt matter. I can make him stronger. More importantly, humans have the power to surpass their own limits.

Objectively, Shin Woos current abilities were at a level where he would be considered expendable if he were to join the legion.

Though he could handle Formative Force, real battles were a numbers game based on data. According to Eves cold calculations, his actual combat power wasnt even at a level to compete with high-ranking species.

Yet, Eve evaluated him highly, even excessively.

[]

I need to get my hands on gate-related technology soon.

Eves mind was consumed by one topic.

The Kobolds that Shin Woo faced in the demon world were undoubtedly units. And those players were right here in this world where Eve was.

So, the gate technology they used was undoubtedly from this place.

In fact, she had already secured related testimonies.

The wizards of this world were those who had migrated here after losing a long war in a world they called Redrium. The migrants drove out the rampant destructive bacteria in this world with their golems.

How did they reach here? They used magic to leap through space. That method was the gate, and there was even a separate society studying it.

'The gate is top-secret information, and only a few high-ranking officials outside the relevant society can access it. Plus, if theyre passing down the magic of the Stars

Society, it means they have knowledge of other societies.

Eve inferred the identity of the presumed player. The list of potential candidates was instantly narrowed down to a high-ranking official, most likely on active duty, from a

society. If she based her deductions on the testimony of a society wizard, there would be, at most, a few hundred.

To Eve, this wasnt a daunting number. She could effortlessly devise a plan to capture and eliminate them all.

[But all information related to the gate is in Menas.]

Even if she wanted to acquire gate-related technology immediately, she couldnt.

According to the information she had gathered, the society studying magic related to the gate was named Ados. The Ados Society only had its headquarters in Menas, the central city of the continent.

Furthermore, she discovered that Menas was the base of the Continental Council, which ruled the continent, and various wizard societies.

In other words, even with her knowledge, it wasnt easy to covet.

"Those bastards...

The first thing Rozes saw, squinting through the shockwave and dust, was a pair of jet-black wings. Wings enveloped in black feathers. But soon, those wings were swallowed by a crimson flame, swinging like a blade and creating a fountain of blood.

"Thats an enemy! An enemy!

"Get in formation!

The startled soldiers hastily aimed their weapons and magic at the monsters that had appeared from the sky.

"Fire!

Rozes quickly commanded. They had been taken by surprise by the sudden attack, but the enemies had landed in the middle of a bustling allied camp. A barrage of indiscriminate magic was unleashed onto the enemies.

Amid the blinding flashes and explosions, Rozes watched the scene with tension.

[Its useless. Theyre... unscathed]

However, the moment the magic bombardment ended, he saw the flickering letters in front of him and his eyes widened. Simultaneously, the dust cleared, revealing the enemies surrounded by a crimson barrier that resonated with their bodies.

The high-ranking species, who had tucked their wings into their backplates, stood back to back, aiming their spears in all directions. In the middle of them stood the owner of the black wings.

Now, the mask she wore had no effect on the hormonal system. The mask was simply for hiding her face.

For a moment, Rozes eyes met the four red glows flickering inside her mask.

'Were going to die.

He instinctively sensed it, even though he was enveloped by a protective barrier. It took him less than a second to leap off the golem he was riding and take cover behind a fellow magician.

Immediately after that.

From the pointed spears, from the outstretched hands, energy began to erupt at maximum output in every direction.

This energy onslaught was a unique technique possessed by the legion, who had not learned any magic or sword techniques. It simply erupted, and the thousands of troops that had surrounded them were exposed and incinerated alive, exploding and turning into a chaotic mess.

"This... this is...

In the aftermath of the shock, more than half were obliterated in an instant. An eerie silence descended over the area, and people whose mental state had been shattered were frozen in place, unable to move or even twitch.

"Ugh!

In the meantime, a knight who had been screaming in anger after seeing his comrade, who had been close to him, evaporate leaving only an arm holding a sword, got up and ran with his sword.

"Cough.

The female legionnaire moved without any unnecessary movements, knocked off his sword with her armored hand, and kicked him in the chest. The knight, who spat out blood with his breastplate crushed in one breath, fell to the ground rolling.

"Uh...

"Ah...

Fear and despair spread among the survivors in an instant.

Even though half of them were still alive, and they were armed with revenge and anger, they couldnt dare to rush at the enemies, who were only five in number.

"Wheres the Vice President, the Vice President of Blackl?

"We need heavy firepower. He can provide it!

People naturally sought out the strong. There was definitely still hope. There were only five enemies, the allies still had strength left, and it was burdensome for the enemies to spew out firepower once again.

"Vice President..?

But where he had once stood, there were only gruesomely disfigured corpses.

Only his discarded robe remained in the spot where he had vanished without a trace.
