[Gardis Blessing]. A defensive buff that the human side can use, conceptually countering the monsters’ [Dark Event]. Among various options, I pondered and finally narrowed it down to two choices: — Gardis Blessing: Invincible Walls ] During this battle, the walls will not be destroyed. — Gardis Blessing: One-Way Assault ] During this battle, enemies…

Before Stage 10, I was just a naive player. I played by the game’s rules, within the allowed parameters, just an ordinary player trying to clear the game. But during Stage 10, after being struck by the Werewolf Legion and the Wolf King, I realized: This world, while following the rules of the game, is…

Over the next three days, we relentlessly attacked the advancing goblin hordes from all directions. I even brought along the firepower team that had rested for a day, pouring attacks into what appeared to be their weak points. Indeed, the attacks were somewhat effective. The long road from Black Lake to Crossroad was littered with…

The following day. Dawn of the second day of the war. Dong— Dong— Dong- Amidst the sound of drums, a ceremony was being held at the front of the Goblin Legion, arrayed before the forward base. Seven chosen Goblin Janissaries kneeled before the Goblin God-King, who personally drew special patterns on their faces with red…

Crossroad. Temple. “Bring more bandages!” “We’re running low on potions! Hurry!” “Lady Saintess! You’re needed over here, too! It’s urgent!” I stood in the temple’s chaotic corridor, silently watching as heroes were rushed by on gurneys. Today’s battle had rendered a total of three parties combat-incapable.

Fond of surveying the occupied territory from the highest vantage point, he climbed atop the battery and chanced upon the magic stones of the teleport gate, cleverly integrated between the bricks. Originally, he intended to destroy…

Thirty minutes earlier. Lilly spoke to me in a calm voice. “No need for the others. Just send me.” “What nonsense are you talking about, Lilly…” Unable to walk properly and confined to a wheelchair, she was asking to be sent alone into the heart of enemy territory. I intended to refuse her request outright,…

Before my eyes, the magical portal that had been spinning around abruptly glowed red and then collapsed shut. It meant the gate on the other side had been destroyed. I clenched my teeth. “Who was the last to see the Shadow Squad?” “Tha-that is…” Damien stepped forward hesitantly. “I looked back right before I boarded…

A moment ago. With Ash’s order to retreat issued, the general soldiers began their withdrawal. “Phew! Does this mean today’s battle is over?” “Seems like it, doesn’t it?” A female shield warrior and a male hunter looked at each other and grinned. This couple were mercenaries temporarily assigned to the Shadow Squad and happened to…
