Episode 224

The excitement from crafting the Hydraigon was brief.

I came out to the dormitory and forced myself to get some sleep.

“Haah.”

My fingers were itching.

Analyzing the Hydraigon’s structure.

I wanted to research new undead crafting methods.

Hold back. Hold back.

It’s not like today is the only day.

“Lord. Your eyelids are trembling.”

“Shall the Girl sing you a lullaby?”

“Both of you staying quiet would be the real help.”

I forced my eyes shut and barely managed to fall asleep.

I think I dozed off for a bit.

Consciousness returned due to sunlight streaming through the curtains.

“Did you cough?”

“How do you know without even looking?”

“Your breathing is different.”

Sir Isra, who had been leaning against the wall, smiled gently.

Is it dazzling because of the sunlight?

Oh my.

It feels like my eyes are brightening.

“Go into subspace for a moment while I wash up.”

“Guarding my Lord is a knight’s duty. There’s a possibility that an assassin might infiltrate…”

“Yeah. No.”

[Death Space]

I refuse your refusal.

I stored him in Death Space and cut off vision sharing too.

Having arguments every time I wash up or go to the bathroom is also work. It’s work.

My condition was perfect.

My eyes were bright and alert, and my head was clear.

Good.

Let’s go.

“Mister Park. Did you get some rest?”

“Will you be guiding me again today, Executive?”

Actually, maybe the position of executive at a major guild doesn’t have much work.

A reasonable suspicion arose in my mind, but I didn’t voice it.

Absolutely.

Absolutely not.

It wasn’t because of the war hammer Executive Sofia was holding that I kept my mouth shut.

“I’m the one responsible for this incident.”

The guide vehicle headed to the city outskirts.

Around the Gate, there were several personnel dispatched from GGG.

Among them, one was wrapped in particularly strong mana.

“Executive William.”

A voice with thorns shot out.

Ah.

So that Hunter is the guy who’s been at odds with Executive Sofia.

Wearing a perfectly fitted suit.

His beard and hair were also neatly groomed.

The man who seemed thorough in self-care slightly twisted his cheek and smiled.

“If it isn’t Executive Sofia.”

“This is our jurisdiction. What brings you here?”

“I heard a problem solver came to resolve this difficult matter, so I came to say hello.”

The man’s eyes lightly scanned my entire body.

It was exactly like the gaze of someone observing whether fish is fresh at a sushi restaurant.

“You should introduce him too. Must I be the one to speak, Executive Sofia?”

“I don’t particularly want to exchange words with you, Executive.”

“I feel sorry that the friends you were managing became sacrifices. But what good does it do to act so emotional?”

Wow.

He’s being this openly provocative?

The surrounding air seemed to drop by 5 degrees.

Executive Sofia’s hands were trembling, and it seemed like one more provocation would send her fist flying.

Since it’s someone else’s family fight, there’s nothing to do but watch.

“Great Lord. What can we do?”

Prepare some popcorn, Zaugg.

There’s nothing we can do.

It seems GGG’s internal affairs are quite complicated too.

Well, it’s none of my business, so I shouldn’t worry about it.

“Sir Isra.”

“Hmm.”

Don’t put your hand on the scabbard and fidget with it.

I understand you want to nicely slice that uncle’s neck, but please hold back.

“Master. Erectile dysfunction. Divine spell. Possible.”

Roan.

You can only use three divine spells since your abilities are sealed right now.

More than that, why is something so wicked even to mention included in divine spells?

“Good luck, Asian.”

Leaving those words, William shuffled away.

The familiars’ heated gazes mercilessly pierced the back of his head.

“That human, just…”

Executive Sofia was grinding her teeth when she suddenly said “Ah” and bowed her head.

“Sorry. I showed you an inadequate side of myself.”

“It’s fine.”

“Anyway, I’ll be praying for you to safely complete the strategy and return.”

After experiencing a minor incident, we stood before the Blue Rift.

[Black Plain]

[Grade: A]

[Entry Limit: A ~ B(5)]

[Mana Distribution: 89%]

“Someone needs to stay behind, right?”

At Mi-jeong’s point, everyone shook their heads left and right.

Originally, if all the support team members entered, the number would be exactly right.

But now Emilia was included in the party, making it six people total.

“I, I’m not dropping out!”

Emilia shouted loudly.

If we left her behind, she looked ready to set something on fire.

I’m not sure if it’s okay to bring a disciple of one of the 12 Heroes into a closed Gate.

But since she has absolutely no intention of backing down, there’s no choice.

Someone needs to make a concession.

The ultimate battle of wits begins!

“I’m a melee dealer, so I seem unsuitable for protecting you, hyung.”

“Seong-su. What do we do if you drop out? You need to brief us.”

“Wouldn’t it be better for me to drop out since I can’t do anything when my mana runs low?”

“I have to play around when I run out of arrows. So it’d be better to play outside.”

The odd one out plans to enjoy sightseeing while waiting.

Sigh.

Anyone would think they came here to have fun.

Veins bulged on President Baek’s forehead.

“Anyone. Just one person. Drop out quickly.”

“Gulp.”

The color drained from the Support Team Friends’ faces.

Boss’s nagging time was reserved, so it was understandable they’d be startled.

But even I think they went too far this time.

“This won’t work. Let’s go with that.”

“Can’t be helped.”

The four people extended their fists forward.

“Rock, paper, scissors!”

They decided the odd one out using the time-honored traditional method of resolving disagreements.

“Yahoo!”

The one cheering was Jong-hyo.

“Ugh.”

“So frustrating.”

“My LA sightseeing!”

What chaos. Complete chaos.

Whether President Baek was watching with warm eyes or not.

The three people not chosen by luck wailed in despair.

I wonder how they plan to deal with the consequences later.

“Let’s head in now.”

The ominous Gate that devoured three teams of GGG Hunters.

I’m curious what awaits us.

I stepped into the Gate without hesitation.

* * *

The floating sensation disappears.

At the same time, I feel killing intent.

Since I was already mentally prepared, responding wasn’t difficult.

[Aura]

[Imperial Swordsmanship]

[First Form]

My horizontally swung sword caught something solid.

Clang!

Despite the recoil transmitted through my hand, I didn’t release my strength and swung through.

Slash! The thing that had been emitting killing intent was cut down.

“Kiiiii!”

Before I could even feel the sensation of the cut, I confirmed the identity of the monster I’d sliced.

“An ant?”

What attacked me at the entrance was a giant ant the size of a bull.

The ant’s jaw split from my aura-infused sword strike.

Green bodily fluid gushed out from the severed cross-section.

The minor problem was that there weren’t just one or two giant ants.

“Everyone, come out.”

The Familiars who couldn’t enter the Gate.

I had to move them to Death Space just before entry and then summon them again.

That’s why I was attacked on the uninhabited island too.

Since this situation could arise again, I need to prepare countermeasures.

“How dare, how dare they point those filthy jaws at the Girl’s Master!!!”

Ingrid’s hair rose high into the sky.

It looked like fire blazing fiercely.

“Mage.”

“Don’t stop me.”

“I won’t stop you. I’ll buy you enough time to build up your firepower.”

[Aura]

[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]

[Third Form ― Full Moon Slash]

A blue moon that appeared in mid-air slaughtered the giant ants.

With one strike, over ten monsters fell, spilling their bodily fluids.

“Kiiiik.”

“Kiik.”

Giant ants advancing while trampling their fallen kin.

Like water spilled on the ground, the gap was instantly filled.

[Gale Knights]

―10 Death Warriors.

“Maintain the front line.”

【Command.】

“Kill!”

Slash! Slice!

Carapaces as hard as steel tore like paper the moment they touched aura.

Bodily fluid splattered in all directions.

While the Death Warriors held the space, giant ant corpses piled up.

The Support Team that entered afterward opened their mouths wide.

“Th-this is…”

“Could the Black Plain be because of the ants?”

Oh.

Mi-jeong. That’s a plausible theory.

“Y-y-you shouldn’t be too relaxed!”

Emilia is almost on the verge of tears.

You don’t need to worry too much.

Are our kids ordinary?

There’s no need to even bring out Hydraigon.

[Unique Technique ― Eclipse]

[Multiple Casting]

[Burst Flare X 10]

[Typhoon X 10]

[Modified Technique ― Compress]

[Fire Tornado]

Whoooosh!

A whirlwind containing crimson flames appeared in the middle of the giant ants.

Even from a distance, it was tremendous heat that dried out the skin.

“Kiiiiii!”

The giant ants swallowed by the whirlwind couldn’t even leave corpses behind.

The monsters that stayed near the flames only barely avoided instant death, bowing their heads under the tremendous heat.

Their carapaces held up somewhat against the flames.

But they couldn’t prevent the heat from the swirling flames from penetrating inside.

Even the bodily fluids that had been steadily flowing from wounds cut by aura evaporated completely, leaving only traces behind.

“To wipe out all those ants with a single spell.”

“There were hundreds of them.”

“Sister. That’s kind of scary.”

The Support Team’s jaws dropped.

Honestly, I was pretty shocked too.

In terms of pure destructive power, the [Chaos Bullet] she showed during the Wyvern hunt would probably be superior.

But this wasn’t targeting a single entity.

It was an area attack that swept away multiple enemies.

“Ooh, oooooh!!”

Only Emilia cheered and marveled with excitement.

After that, she muttered something about magic theory, but I couldn’t understand any of it, so I let it go in one ear and out the other.

[You have gained a large amount of experience.]

The scorching ground.

Wisps of smoke rose from the bodies of the giant ants scattered about.

“No wonder the GGG Hunters were wiped out.”

I shook my head at Seong-su’s words.

“This level wouldn’t be enough for that.”

“My Lord speaks truly.”

Sir Isra pointed to the giant ant corpses.

“No matter how many there are, if they had enough force to defeat a Master-level knight, it would be possible to push through.”

Master-level knight.

That means S-rank Hunter level.

Executive Sofia said she set up the party strong enough to defeat even an S-rank Hunter to conquer this Gate.

“Kiiiii!”

“Kiiiii!”

Sound waves from giant ants echoing from a distance.

I don’t know how long it’s been since we cleared the entrance, but they’re already swarming again.

“The mana distribution was high.”

“Even so, they weren’t swarming at the entrance. Mi-jeong.”

Seong-su was right.

It’s not like we’ve only done Gate conquests for a day or two.

Even Gates classified as dangerous didn’t have monsters swarming like this.

Something smells fishy.

“Let’s go a bit further.”

“I’ll exterminate all the ants.”

“Alright. I’m counting on you.”

Shortly after.

A crimson-stained whirlwind devoured all the giant ants completely.
