Before the rescue team entered the forward base, Kali-Alexander had already spotted the emergency teleport gate atop the battery. 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…

Junior’s party consisted of five mages. Junior, an SSR-grade mage, and two R-grade and two N-grade mages. The gap between the well-equipped and awakened Junior and the rest, who had barely mastered the basic skills, was stark. But even the least among them was still a mage. And when five mages gather, they could literally…

At the entrance to the Black Lake. The Goblin Legion had surfaced from the depths, avoiding the usual routes frequented by monsters and circumventing the teleportation gate traps. Once the troops regrouped outside the lake, Kali-Alexander wasted no time in attacking the teleportation gate. Success came as they shattered the gate covering the lake’s entrance….

Before the deployment, the greatest obstacle facing the Goblin Legion was none other than Nameless. This faded warrior, proclaiming herself the guardian of the Lake Kingdom, was a disaster to the monsters. For the light of her sword was inherently anathema to the creatures. She was the monster slayer who had single-handedly thwarted the creatures’…

Continuing from there, I toured the forward base with Lilly, discussing with the various guild masters who were making repairs. While inspecting the equipment to be used in the upcoming defense, the guild masters finally guided me to a room in the basement of the forward base. “I’ve heard that you are proceeding with the…

I explained the traps I had prepared to the heroes. If everything went according to plan, these traps could annihilate the Goblin Legion in a single stroke. As I finished explaining, all the heroes looked astounded, their mouths agape. I couldn’t help but smirk. ‘I’ve decided to stand above the rules of the game.’ Therefore,…

The leader of the Leprosy Extermination Squad, Torkel, stood in front of the temple. As usual, his helmet pushed down over his eyes and his body wrapped in bandages, he could only gaze at the temple from a distance, unable to enter. He flinched, unable to step forward. “Oh, Torkel?” Damien, who had been sweeping…
