Three months later. South of Crossroad. At the Black Lake Front. Forward Base. On the day of Stage 30. *** It was already the 30th defense battle. Every stage multiple of five is known as a boss stage, where especially difficult enemies appear. Until now, monsters up to the 10th rank under the Demon King…

I inadvertently smiled at Mikhail as he expressed his gratitude. “We have to help each other out. Especially when facing monsters together in battle.” “I challenged your command. That means, at some point, I might rebel against you again… From your perspective, I could be a hindrance to stable frontline command.” Mikhail rolled his crimson…
