Unlocked chapter (10/11)

[Windless Days (12)]

October nights were long.

It was dark when Division A arrived at the second supply base at Uijeongbu Station.

Wounded! please move the wounded this way!

Yes, we have confirmed an outbreak of 8th rank corpse rats in the direction of Shinseok Bridge. There are 30 confirmed individuals, and the nearest clan is.

Youre not the one to talk! And what youre doing is suspicious!

Are you done talking!?

The second supply base was a mess.

Equipment and supplies were scattered haphazardly, as if there had been a monster attack.

On top of it, players carrying armor cursed and walked past, while supporters were busy tending to the wounded.

Ah, Clan Lord!

Division A is back!

Players who had been sitting on the floor with dazed faces welcomed Kang Hyun-chul and Do Wan-jun as they walked down the hallway.

However, the two of them were in terrible condition as well.

After asking Bang yeon-ji to stop the Goshinis forces, Kang Hyun-chul led Blaze Clan to kill the corpse rats blocking the road.

Pushed to the limit, he was unable to completely dispel the monsters debuffs.

He was pushed to the limit both physically and mentally.

Without restoring his mind and body, he could not increase his mana resistance.

.

The same was true for Do wanjun.

He was the one who had taken over the command of the division from Kang Hyun-chul, who had lost his mind and was killing monsters.

Moreover, he couldnt help but think of Bang Yeon-ji, whom he had left on the battlefield.

Its good to see you, I feel like I havent seen your face in a long time.

The meeting room was in disarray, with newspapers taped over broken windows and protective barriers set up.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Entering the room, Do wanjun sat down and smiled wryly as he looked at Guyeonsu, who was seated in the main seat.

They hadnt seen each other for just a few days.

Seeing Regulus Clan Lord Guyeonsu, he felt unexplainable joy.

Hey there, Park Hyerim.

What do you mean with Hey there! Whats wrong with your body right now?

It was their limit.

As soon as Kang Hyun chul entered the meeting room, he grabbed Do wanjuns shoulder and supported himself.

Park Hyerim, who had jumped up from her seat, approached Kang Hyun chul, who had collapsed onto Do wanjun as if he was about to fall.

As a supporter, she could tell.

How serious Kang Hyun-chuls condition was right now.

She laid him on the ground, ignoring the stares of those gathered.

As her blue-tinged hand swept over his face, his complexion gradually began to improve.

<Flame Demon> must have had a hard time, I dont think Ive ever seen him in that much pain before.

Thats to be expected.

Well, yes, but.

Guyeounsu opened his slender eyes and looked at Do wanjun.

Realizing what his eyes meant, Do wanjun closed his mouth and shook his head.

I see.

The E Division commanders understood the meaning and fell silent.

The Twelve Seats Bang Yeon-ji is not here.

They couldnt hide their disappointment.

In their hearts, they were hoping for the support of Kang Hyun-chul and Bang Yeon-ji.

How is the situation at Uijeongbu Station?

Worst than ever. We managed to take care of the corpse rats, which gave us some breathing room, but theres still a lot of high level monsters in the city.

But before that. Isnt there something you need to check before telling them about our situation?

The person who interrupted Guyeounsu and Do wanjuns conversation was Jang Bong jeon, who was clearly in a weird mood.

Clan Lord Jang Bong jeon.

Stroking his long, grown beard on both sides, he glared at the commanders of Divison A with an uncomfortable air.

You probably know this as well. There are monsters in Uijeongbu Station that keep humans as livestock.

Weve heard of it.

Do wanjun replied with a troubled expression.

He recalled the information that Divison E had given him via telepathic transmission while he was clearing out Uijeongbu City Hall.

The monster called Master keeps humans as livestock and infiltrates among them while wearing human disguises.

Are you saying that there could be one of those monsters among us?

Of course. Im not doubting you, but its possible that one of you could have blended in and infiltrated the base.

.

It wasnt an unreasonable idea.

There was plenty of room for players who had faced monsters in human guise to be suspicious of A Division retreating from Heungseon-dong and entering the base.

Im sorry, its hard, but the damage to the E Division because of the monster is a trouble. Ill shorten the process, but Ill finish inspecting Division A by midnight.

But do you have any idea how to identify the monster?

Phew! Dont worry about that. Weve got a bunch of highly sensitive players looking for it.

With an arrogant smile, Jang Bong-jeon replied on behalf of Guyeounsu.

Do wanjun quickly scanned the reactions of the people in the conference room.

The Division E commanders looked like they wanted to say something.

Yes! Clan Lord!

The members of Clan Blaze didnt catch him not tending to his wounded body.

Instead, they gritted their teeth and ran, determined to protect him.

Raising their shattered shields, they began to sing, fueled by evil.

They started the first verse of To the Frontline!

Waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

High mountains, deep valleys~!

Desolate mountains!

We march on!

Snowy front line!

Were going!

With eyes fixed on the snowy frontlines~!

Their shout reverberated throughout the air.

In response to the Guardians choir, the shields emitted a blue light and enveloped their advancing bodies.

Flames flickered, blue energy radiated, dispelling the debuffs that flew towards them.

Youve picked a good tune

He flicked his fingers.

A sharp sound echoed amidst the song, and the mana engulfing the swarm of mice pushed them back.

To the frontlines! Can you hear?

The enraged roar!

Explosions occurred one after another.

Once the sparks ignited, they expanded, consuming the swarm of mice.

The mice, engulfed in flames, retaliated by shooting debuff magic.

A sacred charm

Not yet.

Taking another step was challenging.

His footsteps felt heavy.

Despite this, he continued to advance, dragging his greatsword and causing explosions.

Rangers, prepare to shoot! Casters, get ready for the next spell!

This battle was not fought alone.

So he could give it his all.

When he heard the sound coming from behind, he raised his head.

Taking one step made it easier to take the next.

He switched the hand that gripped the hilt of his sword, spreading the flames from his left hand to the sides.

Guardians with heavy shields leapt into the flames he had created.

Despite the scorching heat, they did not stop chanting.

To the frontlines! Can you see?

The united eyes!

The determination still burned in their eyes.

He raised the greatsword horizontally from his chest to the ground and glared at the creature.

The creature seemed to hesitate.

Nevertheless, it didnt think he could reach it.

It remained attached to the outer wall of the building, showing no intention of moving.

Clear the path!

Dont fear the flames! We have protective spells!

Even the Hunters were protecting him.

Even though they werent members of the Blaze Clan, they were trying to make a way through the flames.

Ugh!

A chill ran down his spine.

His whole body itched as if he had eaten something wrong.

It was the effect of the debuff.

What the hell!

Burn this shit and be done with it.

He remembered the time he had burned the venom that had seeped into his body.

The power he possessed was not limited to merely burning visible substances.

He didnt need to confine his power within the framework of common sense.

All he had to do was accept it.

Without harboring a shred of doubt.

The essence of combustion.

The essence of purification.

Just believe in them strongly.

The power to burn anything, to purify anything.

He doesnt have to figure it out, he doesnt need to understand it.

Eat it up, and thats it.

He spread blue flames around himself.

Fire and blue flames mingled, purifying the debuffs of the rushing players.

He thwarted the monsters magic and, ironically, triggered a mana rampage.

Got it, you little rat?

He squeezed out all the remaining mana.

He staggered to his feet and raised his greatsword, a blaze of searing flame and unholy fire.
