It hurts.
The intense pain would not go away.
A pain I havent felt in a very long time.
Since becoming an A-grade Holder, since becoming a key executive of <Villain>.
A suffering I hadnt been able to properly feel even once.
That dizzying sensation flows through my whole body.
The bleeding wont stop, causing excessive blood loss, and the sword scar engraved on my chest shows no signs of fading.
Puh puh huh
Cha Soo-yeon barely gasped for breath.
An operation I thought would be over in less than a minute.
The time of slaughter I was waiting for with a smile.
It had all turned into bubbles.
The situation had changed to an unfavorable position in an instant, and all of my subordinates were in crisis due to the enemys counterattack.
Umm umm. Its a really shitty situation.
Hysterical composure flows out of her heart.
And again, it was because of Do Jae-hyun.
The root of all distortions.
The fundamental reason why the clan plan had become a little urgent.
A first year student holder
Had ruined the operation again.
This time, inflicting direct damage on me, Cha Soo-yeon.
Do Jae-hyun.
Although it was humiliating, I gritted my teeth and stared at him.
Fortunately, my life had been saved.
I would have to go back and receive proper treatment, but somehow there didnt seem to be any threat to my life.
On top of that, I had also properly grasped his ultimate skill.
The skill that was unleashed with the command Rush.
That was clearly a magical instant movement that did not use physical strength.
And the additional blow that completely shattered my [Magical Defense Barrier].
It seemed to be an ultimate skill system that ignores defense after instant movement.
It was quite a shocking skill, but if we meet again.
Cha Soo-yeon was confident that she could block it and counterattack.
Wait. I will definitely, definitely kill you.
However, that would have to wait for the next time.
In her current physical condition, rather than counterattacking, the probability of being hit again was higher.
Cha Soo-yeon looked at the clan member in front of her.
The subordinate who poured potions on her injured body and enthusiastically treated her.
He was standing guard in preparation for a possible attack.
Whats your name?
Im Lim Jin-hyeok, branch manager!
I see.
Cha Soo-yeon turned her head and looked back.
The boss room of the Smuggling Cave.
Towards the entrance leading into it.
Although no one had noticed because the output magic was so subtle, there was an unauthorized warp gate there.
The smuggling site that Do Jae-hyuns party had continued to come looking for in this dungeon.
The last passage also existed in this boss room.
Can you get there
No problem.
The clan subordinate responded resolutely.
It was as if no matter what Cha Soo-yeons order was, even if it was hell, he would go with that kind of face.
With most of the clan members fighting the enemies, and some in combat disabled condition.
There was only this one subordinate who could support Cha Soo-yeon now.
Cha Soo-yeon nodded slowly.
Yes, then
At that moment.
Whoosh-
Pak!!
He seemed to have admitted defeat and was about to commit suicide
No way.
He had to be captured alive and interrogated until he died.
Ow
Ji Yoon-jae, who received a huge shock to the head, collapsed to the ground.
With the Rune [Master of Martial Arts], which raised the proficiency of all weapons to a certain level, I had no restrictions on using weapons.
This applied to blunt weapons like clubs as well.
Ji Yoon-jae probably never imagined that my full swing would have such a huge impact.
Hes not dead, right?
Seeing him sprawled on the floor like a dying insect, I strangely feel uneasy.
Do Jae-hyun.
When I was about to wrap up the fight with Ji Yoon-jae.
I heard people coming.
Ah, Team Leader Kwon.
Kwon Oh-Jun, Park Jin-woo, Choi Dong-wook.
Not only the three frontrunners who fought with me, but also the support staff who were in the back slowly came over as they regained their strength.
Its over.
Are you hurt anywhere?
Well, as you can see When they used the Berserk Potion, I was surprised, but fortunately, the magician classes helped out a bit.
When Ji Yoon-jae attacked earlier
That sudden Fire Shield that blocked me was not a coincidence.
The magician classes, whose magic power should have been completely depleted, had somehow recovered their magic power and supported the frontrunners, allowing the rest of the party to smoothly take down the <Villain> clan members.
I slowly looked around.
Ugh ugh.
Cough cough.
I could hear painful voices here and there.
Most of them were not normal.
Including Ji Yoon-jae, all <Villain> clan members have become incapacitated.
Among them, some had lost their lives, and many like Ji Yoon-jae had lost consciousness.
But as I looked around, I noticed something strange.
The most important person here was missing.
I couldnt see Cha Soo-yeon.
I Dont see Cha Soo-yeon.
And at those words, Akiba and Lee Soo-mis faces darkened.
Akiba explained the situation.
While you were fighting the others, the woman named Cha Soo-yeon moved through an unauthorized warp gate.
What? There was another warp gate?
Yes. It was hidden near the entrance to the boss room. Holder Lee Soo-mi and I tried to block it but it was too late to stop her. Im sorry.
How frustrating.
We barely won the battle, but except for Ji Yoon-jae, most of the <Villain> clan members here are just small fries.
As the branch manager of the academy and a core executive of <Villain>, we should have captured Cha Soo-yeon.
Since we were outnumbered and many were exhausted, it was difficult to mark everyone.
Especially after using my ultimate skill [Distortions Shadow] to put her in a near-death state, it is even more regrettable.
Well, it cant be helped. Lets organize the remaining members first and get out. Everyone is too tired.
Just as I was about to wrap things up.
Kang Juyeon from behind approached me.
Jae-hyun.
Huh? What?
What she showed me was a small pendant glowing red.
This is A communication device exclusively for Judgement of Fires executives. Accurate communication isnt possible, but it can send signals in an emergency.
Usually, modern items dont work inside dungeons.
Of course, mobile phones cant be used either, cutting off contact with the outside.
A special item prepared for such occasions.
Kang Juyeon was showing me one of them.
And what that meant was.
It doesnt look like Villain only attacked here.
It was another move by these pesky <Villain> guys.
