A room deeply shrouded in darkness.

A man wearing a robe was kneeling and trembling.

And in front of him, a neatly dressed handsome man.

Unable to contain himself, he burst out laughing as he looked at the man in the robe.

“Hehe. Dave, you were wrong this time.”

“......”

Dave and Flinkclaw.

They were the two leaders of the ‘Ludenark School’, which has emerged as the worst criminal organization in the other world and is currently shaking the entire world.

However, contrary to their reputation.

The situation they were in was close to the worst.

“We carried out a diversionary operation... But both failed. Hehe.”

The reason was simple.

The plan ambitiously prepared by vice-master Dave had been completely seen through by humans and turned to bubbles.

A diversionary operation carrying out two tasks simultaneously.

In the 6th District, giving Hwang Seong-yeon an undead army to sweep away Do Jae-hyun and the Korean clans.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, the Ludenark School that escaped outside would invade and devour the empty Korean territory.

It was a fairly simple yet effective strategy.

The opponent was launching a full-scale offensive only on dungeon conquest without knowing much about our forces, and Ludenark had ways to gather enough troops from the outside as well.

If successful, they could have taken a step towards conquering the other world.

...If only it had succeeded.

“I apologize, master. There was an error in the plan. If you give me a little more time...”

“Enough.”

School master Flinkclaw’s indifferent voice rang out.

The plan had failed spectacularly.

Hwang Seong-yeon in the 6th District met a miserable death at the hands of Do Jae-hyun of <Evil Hunter>, and the undead army that supported him was completely annihilated without exception.

That’s not all.

The situation for Dave and Flinkclaw who had come out wasn’t good either.

The Korea they thought was an empty house was being defended by the American clan <Wings of Freedom> and S-grade Holder Liam Hendricks, so the defectors had to engage in fierce battles while being pursued wherever they went.

“......”

It was truly a dilemma.

As all the ambitiously prepared plans turned into failures, the Ludenark School fell into crisis.

The loss of forces incurred in the process was enormous, and many of the executive-level defectors had already lost their lives.

Naturally, Dave, who first proposed and implemented this plan, had nothing to say even if he had ten mouths.

However, School master Flinkclaw didn’t seem to particularly mind this.

His face was impossibly calm.

He didn’t seem to have any intention of punishing Dave or starting something new.

Just....

“We return to our domain.”

“School master, that’s...!!”

Go back to where we first came from and start over.

Flinkclaw had already made up his mind to do just that.

“Hehe. Dave. I understand your regret. You probably don’t want to retreat after coming this far.”

Flinkclaw, who was laughing, raised his hand and spread it around.

“But look. The result is this miserable, isn’t it? The school members who gave their all to resurrect and help me defect were annihilated, and most of the executives you cherished, Dave, have lost their lives. Hehe, what more do you intend to do here?”

“......”

There wasn’t a single wrong word.

The damage already suffered by the Ludenark School was so massive that it was questionable whether they could recover from this again.

In such a situation, insisting on staying in the current world was just stubbornness.

“Anyway, from the 7th District onwards, even humans won’t be able to conquer easily. It’s our domain containing the essence that Ludenark has built up over long years.”

From the 1st District to the 5th District are also called ‘temporary districts’ within the school.

They are at the very entrance and the school didn’t pay much attention to magical traps or troop deployment in these districts, so in reality, they are not very difficult to conquer.

It wasn’t for nothing that the 1st District was named <Abandoned Laboratory>.

She quickly rallied the clan members, commanded them, and successfully completed the remaining conquest.

Zero casualties.

Only ten injured, including myself.

And all enemies in Zone 6 were annihilated.

It was an amazing result that even the term ‘perfect’ was insufficient to describe.

“You’re amazing, Mas... No, Vice Master.”

When I sent a look of admiration and respect towards Yoo Eun-seol, for whom the modifier ‘Master’ still felt more natural, she smiled lightly as if it was nothing and replied.

“As the Team 4 leader said, it was possible thanks to Jae-hyun. The undead legion lost its cohesion when Hwang Seong-yeon died.”

Master sometimes seems too perfect a person.

Even though she’s already reached the top in terms of skill as an S-grade Holder, she often shows humility and maintains people’s trust.

Perhaps that’s why there are so many unaffiliated Holders following her, and conversely, why she seemed reluctant to join other clans.

“What’s this atmosphere?”

“I feel really uncomfortable, Chae-eun.”

“......”

As I was briefly distracted, I heard the voices of Kim Chae-eun and Moon Ga-eun coming from somewhere.

I cleared my throat a few times and quickly changed the subject.

“Holder Kim A-reum, so what happened to Ludenark’s remnants?”

“Ah, yes. After we started the conquest of Zone 6, the individuals known as the School master and Vice School master of Ludenark escaped to the current world.”

“They... Escaped?”

This was a part I hadn’t thought of at all.

Of course, I thought the enemies would counterattack as they detected our dungeon invasion, but I didn’t expect them to boldly attempt to escape to the current world and target domestic areas.

“Yes. Take a look at this.”

Kim A-reum continued speaking while flipping through new articles on the pad.

“It seems that the legion-level undead we encountered at the final point of the Maze Touched by Death also descended upon the current world.”

Combining the article contents and her explanation, the situation was like this:

While we were conquering Zone 6, the executives represented by Ludenark’s School master and Vice School master, along with other escapees, attempted to invade the country by escaping to the current world.

However, the Allied Forces’ strategy team had somewhat foreseen this situation.

They requested aid from the United States and brought none other than the <Wings of Freedom> Clan and Liam Hendricks.

And with their help, they were able to quickly suppress Ludenark’s forces that appeared in the current world...

“...Incredible things were happening while we were in the maze.”

“The Allied Forces weren’t just sitting idle either.”

“Then, did they perhaps capture all the executives including the School master?”

A question I throw out just in case, knowing they wouldn’t be caught so easily.

To this, Kim A-reum lightly shook her head.

“They say they returned to the dungeon. And with that, the dungeon conquest also entered a lull.”

The last articles that were quickly flipped through catch my eye.

-<Escapee’s Room> passes the 7/10 mark, what will happen from now on?

-Holder Association President, “It seems it will be a long-term battle from Zone 7 onwards.”

-Extermination of Ludenark becomes a long-term battle... Major domestic clans to take turns conquering!

-Liam Hendricks, “I’ll come again anytime if Korea requests.”

“Just now, the Holder Association President came and left a message. He said that from now on, the conquest of the Escapee’s Room is likely to continue with clans taking turns. He said he’d give priority to our clan, which has the highest merit, and that he’d talk again when you wake up.”

Zone 6, which we perfectly conquered.

However, from Zone 7 onwards, it seemed that even major domestic clans would find it difficult to easily conquer due to traps and forces in place.

So the decision made by the Allied Forces was conquest by clan rotation.

The policy was to set an order for major clans and attempt conquest according to the situation and time.

“So...”

“Yes, it’s a kind of ceasefire.”

The moments we’ve been running without rest, chasing Ludenark and Hwang Seong-yeon.

Finally, a time to catch our breath has arrived.
