The situation was not good for the remaining party members either.
The villain clan members gathered here on Gijangeum Island were clearly over 40 people at a glance.
Although Yoo Eun-seol and Do Jae-hyun were leading the charge into the enemys formation, there was a limit.
Frankly, if just half of them, 20 people, attacked, it would be hell for the allied party.
Kim Chae-eun bit her lip slightly as she looked at the situation.
Its too dangerous.
There were 13 members left in the rear party.
Of those, there were only 4 warriors and assassins who could take the lead Kwon Oh-jun, Park Jin-woo, Shin Yu-na, and Choi Dong-wook.
Just the 4 of them were facing at least 3 <Villain> clan members each, protecting the rear members.
No matter how much they fought with buffs and support, in a many-to-one situation, the burden was bound to increase.
Jae-hyun too.
Suddenly, Kim Chae-euns gaze turned to Do Jae-hyun, fighting alone in the distance.
In order to break through the crisis of the party.
And to help party leader Yoo Eun-seol, Do Jae-hyun had jumped into the enemy formation alone.
Ever since the battle started, Kim Chae-eun was so worried about him that she had a hard time concentrating.
What if
Just in case, something went wrong with him.
Even while fighting the enemy, such anxiety had a place in her mind.
That idiot.
Come to think of it, he had always been like that.
No matter what incident or crisis came up, he always took the lead.
There was never any hesitation or worry.
Even though it must have been dangerous and scary for himself, he always reassured the others with a smiling face.
It was the same this time as well.
Without a word to Kwon Oh-juns unreasonable request, he finished preparing and jumped into the enemy formation.
Even though he could have taken on a safer role without anyone complaining Do Jae-hyun did not do that.
He knew well the risk of eventually returning to the party if he did that.
Kim Chae-eun felt sorry for him in that way.
There were burdens on him that were hard to comprehend easily.
There was certainly the burden she herself had placed on him as well.
I have to be helpful.
She had to relieve him of that burden.
If this continued, everyone was in danger.
If the rear members on this side struggled, Do Jae-hyuns side, which needed support, would naturally have an even harder time.
In order for the flow of combat to be brought up positively, a breakthrough had to be found on this side as well.
The members who could create that variable were certainly in this party.
Juyeon.
Yeah.
Kang Juyeon, who was sweating while casting magic, replied to Kim Chae-euns call.
Although they usually gave off the feeling of being mortal enemies, there was no leisure to show such an appearance in a situation like this.
You know it too, right? We have to catch that mage.
.
At Kim Chae-euns words, Kang Juyeon quietly nodded her head.
At a distance a little away from the party.
At the center of the <Villain> clan members, a female Holder casting magic alone.
Cha Soo-yeon. She was the problem.
Having experienced it once in Japan already, Cha Soo-yeons gravity magic was quite tricky.
It controlled the overall movement of the vanguard with a slowing effect and the mage classes also had trouble launching full attacks due to the interference with concentration.
If Hwang Dong-yeong and Hwang Seong-yeong were the centers of the front enemy formation, Cha Soo-yeon was the center of the rear enemies.
They had to deal with her in some way in order to unravel the frustrating situation now.
Im ready.
Next to them, Moon Ga-eun cut in on their words.
And at the same time she drew her sword.
The [Extreme Shot] powerfully fired.
One of the <Villain> clan members collapsed, taking a direct hit to the leg.
She was not the only one.
Oh, if were going to do it, lets hurry up. Im getting tired.
Kacha kchak-
Along with the dull sound of weapons clashing, Park Jin-woo, who had momentarily retreated, came over here to catch his breath.
As his words indicated, they did not have much time left.
The <Villain> clans numbers were still far greater than theirs, and recklessly using the lacking warrior classes was a pretty big risk.
Make it more certain.
But saying there was risk meant correspondingly that they could launch an effective strategy that would create momentum.
Kang Juyeon, Moon Ga-eun, Park Jin-woo, and Kim Chae-eun.
The elite party that worked together to clear the Academy Underground Dungeon, an intermediate-advanced dungeon.
Except for Do Jae-hyun, it was a party that knew each other very well and worked together exceptionally.
After confirming that those members had gathered, Kim Chae-eun firmly nodded her head and drew up her magic power.
And.
With a short incantation, she signaled the opening shot for the operation.
Swallow the cold.
Her ultimate skill showed the extreme of abnormal status.
Huh?
Oh Oh. Got you, fucking bitch.
However.
There was one thing Cha Soo-yeon missed.
Park Jin-woo
No, Kim Chae-eun, who planned this short operation.
Had no intention of using Park Jin-woo to catch Cha Soo-yeon from the start.
Just one wound.
Or chipping one point of endurance.
That much was enough.
Right before being lifted by [Reverse Gravity].
Park Jin-woos sword barely grazed Cha Soo-yeons shoulder.
And with that, Park Jin-woos role was over.
Tsk tsk. So youre throwing a tantrum because you want to die. Ill make sure to
Whoosh, whoo!!
Cha Soo-yeon, who was about to finish off the rising Park Jin-woo, was startled by the magical power she suddenly felt and deployed a [Magic Barrier].
A hot magical aura.
Intense flames gathered ceaselessly toward Cha Soo-yeons shoulder area.
And.
Burn!!
The ultimate skill with all specific conditions met.
Kang Juyeons [Inferno] began mercilessly blazing from Cha Soo-yeons shoulder.
A flame that seemed to burn everything away without a trace.
Kang Juyeons fire never let go of a target once caught.
Gah, gaaaaak!!
Once again.
Cha Soo-yeons terrible scream, heard in Japan, echoed throughout Gijangeum Island.
This time it was truly a dead end
With no place left to retreat.

Ippotranslation

Kang Juyeons punch landed perfectly.
Kim Chae-eun clenched her fist and rejoiced internally.
As expected from the top prospect Holder of the Academy.
Although she didnt like her usual behavior, there was no denying her ability.
In this worst situation, she was the only Holder Chae-eun could rely on, and she fully demonstrated that power.
Thanks to her, Cha Soo-yeon, the core Holder among the enemies, was completely retired, and the <Villain> side fell into chaos.
There were still too many enemies left, but at this pace, it seemed fully possible to stop them.
Jae-hyun is
With the short operation ending in success and the situation behind stabilizing, Kim Chae-eun turned her head.
Now there was room to help Do Jae-hyun.
It was time to provide support to him fighting alone.
However
Huh?
As Kim Chae-eun turned her head, she doubted her own eyes.
Something
Something was very odd.
Where the enemies were filled with countless Holders
Now countless monsters filled the space.
Thats right.
Monsters.
They were definitely monsters.
For some reason she didnt know, on Gijangeum Island where the bloody battle between Holders continued Countless monsters had appeared and taken over the place.
Moreover, the main characters were undead.
Skeletons, Dullahans, Banshees, Wraiths, and all sorts of monsters that seemed to be curse-type were wandering around, showing their ghastly appearances.
Just when she thought they had entered a stable zone, the situation was becoming worst than ever.
Hmm?
However.
What really made Kim Chae-eun rub her eyes was not the procession of those monsters.
In the middle of those monsters, as if it were their boss
An enormously huge monster boasting massive size.
A cursed dragon made entirely of bones.
It was because of that cursed dragon.
Or rather, to be precise.
Why are you there, Jae-hyun?
Precisely because of the Holder on top of that giant dragon.
That Holder who seemed to be issuing grave orders
With a very familiar appearance.
It was because of her friend, Do Jae-hyun.
