Chapter 794

It was meant to separate the defensive and scouting ranges, but it was only useful for ‘non-experts,’ as Hyein, a spatial expert, needed precise coordinates rather than vague units like sectors.

“When I see Hyein, I feel lucky to have chosen a Venom Mage,” said Biyemi.

“Really. Even Druid’s flora and fauna affinity work is far easier in comparison... Ugh, calculating coordinates is annoying. What’s with using vectors and all that? They say the Sage job class has fewer options.”

Watching Hyein work, Biyemi and Jin Gonggong nodded uneasily, and in that brief moment, Hyein had already completed the magic circle.

“We’re ready. Everyone-”

Clang!

“Let’s go!”

Without needing Hyein to say anything, the Byulcho moved as one, and as the Sage’s staff touched the magic circle, they all disappeared.

“As always, the Byulcho. If Kijung didn’t call me, Jin Gonggong must have already given the message. But why is Biyemi talking about Alexander and Leeha Jiwon...?”

Leeha diligently observed the scene.

Perhaps the reason Leeha wasn’t mentioned in the conversation of Byulcho was because Kijung had already whispered to him. When was this video recorded?

Possibly, due to his spreading ‘notoriety’ even beyond the Shazrashian Federation and into the communities, Kijung and others might have known Leeha’s status even without any special words from him.

Of course, that wasn’t the most important thing.

“I see a Chimera. Oh, there are so many?”

In the video, the amount of food in Leeha’s palm was enough to feed a flying lizard.

“Hyein-ssi!”

“I’ll be back soon!”

Hyein carried the Byulcho towards Ezwen Paladins. The sapphire blue light flickered, and at the same time, a command as sharp as lightning struck from Kijung’s mouth.

“Bobae, Biyemi, start by understanding the numbers and distribution of the Manticores! Jin Gonggong-ssi, confirm the movements of the Chimeras! Tale, lead the Paladins to establish a defensive barrier using fire-based skills!”

Listening to Kijung’s orders, Leeha felt a surge of emotions. No one could underestimate Kijung now.

While outside of Middle Earth, trivial jokes were being exchanged, inside, Kijung presented a more trustworthy tank than any other guild master.

“We’ve confirmed the number of Manticores to be twenty-two! It’s increased by six since the last count.”

“Hmph, it seems like Gibrid are diligently recovering its strength, and those cursed Manticores are positioned right at the front and center.”

Bobae and Biyemi frowned. Though Gibrid were slow, it was evident they were steadily recovering their strength.

The increasing number of Manticores was a cause for concern. The addition of just one Manticore wasn’t a significant issue, but the repercussions in terms of the number of Chimeras were immeasurable.

“Chimeras... we can’t count them anymore. Even if we estimate conservatively, it has exceeded tens of thousands.”

“Hah, you said we couldn’t count them, yet you’re counting so fast.”

“Th-that’s... um, well, yes. That’s how it is. I can feel it.”

Although he couldn’t know for sure, Jin Gonggong, who had seen the Chimera legion count go from under two thousand to over ten thousand near the Corrupted World Tree, sensed the difference.

“We don’t know how many shots they can take... But once they realize that their attacks are not effective, they will surely come back. If they can hold out for at least five shots, they will advance again.

“Whew, whew.”

Everyone stopped behind Kijung, and Kijung prepared to block the shells using skills.

As Biyemi and Bobae respectively tilted their heads to both sides of Kijung, waiting for the right time to attack, a bright light flashed in the distance once again.

*Light-”

“Hyaaaap, come on—!”

“-Boom, hehe, it exploded- right?”

Bobae and Biyemi looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

“Ehhhh... What?”

Including Kijung, the other Byulcho members also raised their heads. There was certainly light. But the murky light that exploded in the air had already disappeared, leaving only smoke rising in its place.

“What’s that? Smoke in the sky?”

“No, it’s not light again! It’s another explosion.”

As Bobae pointed her finger towards the sky, Kijung hurriedly raised his shield, but his expression turned despondent at the mention that followed.

“Ugh! Bobae! I have to put all my strength into defense! Stop making me do these exercises and tell me clearly when the guy is attacking-”

“Aaargh!”

“Whoa, where is it!?”

Interrupting Kijung’s complaints, a tremendous scream was heard. It was relatively close, so the members of the Starlite rushed around, shouting.

“Kay! Over there!”

The first to spot it was Tale. Everyone turned their heads in the direction he indicated.

“The Corrupted World Tree Forest... is that it?”

“Kiki... it seems blurry. Bobae, what do you see?”

Jin Gonggong and Biyemi squinted but couldn’t make out a clear figure either. Bobae, watching in that direction using a skill, had a dynamic change in expression.

“Waaah! It’s a huge thing!”

“What is it, Bobae-ssi?”

Kijung asked, but Bobae didn’t respond.

“And... it’s being held by... Luger?”

No, perhaps that was the right answer. The eyes of Leeha, looking at the image, widened.

“Wait, did I mishear that? Luger?”
