The reinforcements from the Academy Allied Forces had all arrived, and the situation was quickly cleaned up.

Tens of <Villain> clan members and the undead legion provoked by Hwang Dong-yeon.

Those who looked like Mt. Taesan at first sight collapsed so pathetically fast.

The guys were completely outmatched in every aspect.

I dont know if Hwang Dong-yeon is really an unofficial S-grade Holder or not, but on our side there are as many as four officially recognized S-grade Holders.

There was no comparison between the quality and combat level of the Holders.

We also have far more numbers.

In addition, as the contacted reinforcements all arrived at Gijangeum Island, we also took the lead in numbers.

The three major clans in the country that promised cooperation with the Academy and other minor clans.

Just the mobilized Holders from each clan exceeded at least three.

Of those, about 60 Holders had arrived at Gijangeum Island as reinforcements.

Including Hwang Dong-yeons undead legion, the <Villain> side still had more, but to the well-trained professional Holders, those monsters were like gum.

All suppression complete! Operation over!!

A Holder who was checking the situation in the center shouted loudly.

The <Villain> clan members who came to Gijangeum Island.

And the remnants who were trying to escape by taking advantage of the chaos.

By blocking all their escape routes, they succeeded in capturing them.

Woowoong- The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Gyaaoo-.

Even I breathed a sigh of relief at that sound, riding on top of Bon in the sky.

Its really over.

I didnt just stand still while the battle continued.

Although I was tired and exhausted, somehow I helped the Academy Allied Forces general offensive with Bon.

Bons powerful flight, which possesses overwhelming ability points, had intense destructive power that collapsed the enemys formation.

With the reinforcements arriving, not utilizing this ability would have been foolish.

Thanks to that, I was able to achieve the feat of capturing Hwang Dong-yeon who was trying to escape with an escort.

Whether he had ability points concentrated in contracting and summoning, he was captured without much resistance when attacked together.

Th, this Let, let go! You, you son of a! My, my dragon!!

Hwang Dong-yeon babbled while grabbing my collar.

With the situation resolved and <Villain> effectively finished, he was just spewing complaints like a kid instead of dignity in this desperate situation.

To think this guy was <Villain>s master.

And that the Academy had been pushed around by a guy like this until now was unbelievable, I could only sigh.

Ugh, ugh Wh, where Where did brother go?

Can this jerk not speak without stuttering?

Annoyed at his gibbering voice, I spat out whatever came to mind to provoke him.

Hey. Your dragon was awesome.

The reaction came back strongly in less than 1 second.

What, what? This, this bastard!!

Hwang Dong-yeon glared.

Despite his magic being completely depleted, his body restrained by various weapons, he recklessly hurled insults at me.

It seems hes quite vulnerable to this kind of provocation.

I shrugged and said,

Ill use it well from now on. Your share too.

No!!

It said my dragon was better than yours right? You saw earlier? How freaking awesome it fights. Itll get used to fighting with me now, this one too.

That, that cant be My, my dragon.

The grade assessment of monsters is determined through consultation between institutions such as the Holder Association and International Monster Research Association.

The evaluation criteria are revealed monster information, theses and consistent research results.

So the bone dragon that has never appeared in the field or dungeons before has no assessed grade.

Its a natural story.

Bon wasnt an ordinary monster, but a manufactured monster specially made by Hwang Dong-yeon and <Villain>.

I still cant believe a single Holder made a monster with these ridiculous stats points.

However, considering Hwang Dong-yeon had not revealed himself to the public while concentrating on research so far, there were probably inhumane human and monster experiments that cannot be counted as well as countless secret crimes involved

That was just my guess.

Anyway, really great work. A hero has been born to the Academy and Holder community.

Kang Woo-hyun patted my shoulder and spoke.

In his eyes was a deep trust that somehow burdened me involuntarily.

You praise me too much.

Ill leave the rest of the cleanup to the reinforcement side, so go to the rear and get some rest.

Ah, Holder Kang Woo-hyun. Im curious about one thing.

Hm?

Before finishing the greetings and turning away.

Kang Woo-hyun looked at me with a questioning face.

By any chance, have you secured the whereabouts of <Villain> sub master Hwang Seong-yeon? I look around but cant seem to find him anywhere.

Hmm.

Swallowing his throat sound, Kang Woo-hyun answered with a stiff face.

Unfortunately, Hwang Seong-yeon had already disappeared by the time reinforcements arrived. While we arrested a large number of master Hwang Dong-yeon and <Villain>s key members and wanted criminals, only Hwang Seong-yeon was missing. It seems he slipped out earlier during the fight with you guys.

I see.

Hearing those words, a regretful feeling naturally arose.

I felt like he disappeared for a moment during the fight, and in the meantime he had slipped away and moved.

Abandoning not only the <Villain> clan but also his younger brother Hwang Dong-yeon and escaping alone

This kind of vicious guy was also the first im encountering.

Its too bad.

Hwang Seong-yeon is an extremely dangerous figure in terms of his abilities and brutality.

When I crossed swords with him, I didnt feel like I could win at all.

Almost like facing Yoo Eun-seol, hitting a wall.

It meant Hwang Seong-yeon was an S-grade Holder.

It was a chance to catch such a guy in one shot, but I missed it, leaving a deep regret.

Still.

It was fortunate to have captured clan master Hwang Dong-yeon and <Villain>s key members.

What had been headache for the Academy and me until now were <Villain> clans organized and vicious raids

Now I was freed from that threat.

With that in mind, I swallowed the regret and headed to the rear for rest.

But in the middle of turning around.

Information windows I had put off popped up incessantly without a break, confusing my view.

Ah.

Come to think of it, in this fight.

There were as many as 40 Holders alone, 50 zombies from Hwang Dong-yeon.

Among them, just the ones I had wiped out with Bon were probably nearing twenty

When would I finish collecting these runes?
