Chapter Index

    The superhumans who are welcomed on the battlefield are, of course, the superhumans of the entire Grand Army.

    Representative examples include war magicians who specialize in defense and mass destruction magic, and necromancers and spirit magicians who control armies.

    The rates below are all included.

    That’s why Lee Ha-yul set up a workshop, summoned golems, spirits, and elementals, and went behind the scenes.

    ‘error…’

    Lee Ha-yool, who rolled around on the floor and collapsed helplessly, realized his mistake.

    The plan went awry. I expected injuries, but I never thought I’d end up like a cripple who can’t even move properly.

    To make matters worse, my mental strength has been depleted and my body is barely able to breathe.

    Because of that, I am stuck on the battlefield and cannot escape.

    Lee Ha-yool, who couldn’t even control his body, was nothing more than a very high-level prey that could be easily swallowed.

    Monsters rolled their eyes and came rushing in from all directions, and the hastily summoned commanders stopped him.

    The thirteenth was clearly on the commander’s side.

    The monster on the other side has a high rank and also receives compensation from the other side.

    In contrast, the commander is receiving the protection of Mt. Taesan, but is also oppressed behind the scenes.

    Because the formation was surrounded on all sides and the master’s consciousness was half-clouded, the orders were not systematic.

    -Kurgaagaak!!

    A monster dug into the gap.

    The monster that had dug into the body that had turned into a fluid took out a sickle-like claw and struck down.

    Kwak! The moment the vicious claws were about to strike Lee Ha-yul’s neck, Aerus, who had pierced the ground, bit the scythe and broke it.

    -Grrr…!

    Aerus, who had ripped the monster’s neck in reverse, roared and spread blood clouds.

    The commanders who had not left anything behind desperately gathered around Lee Ha-yul and protected him.

    But the fact that we are inferior has not changed.

    It is a chaotic battlefield where monsters and spirits intertwine, die, and rise again.

    It is difficult to find the lost amount of money lying on the ground in a short period of time in a driving range where it is difficult to detect the presence of people.

    ‘Taesan?’

    Lee Ji-yeon was able to detect signs even in the midst of chaos.

    Jiyeon Lee, who had been steadily raising the Meat Shield Commander from the castle wall, suddenly raised her head.

    In the midst of the chaotic battlefield, you feel the presence of Taesan, similar yet different to you.

    In China, it is the presence felt in the huge pit that Lee Ha-yool created.

    -Th, Grrr…!?

    -Beep!? Beep!

    “What, what is it? Suddenly spirits…!”

    That wasn’t the only change.

    The spirits that had been supporting one axis of the front line with ease began to foam at the mouth and run wild.

    These were the spirits that Lee Ha-yool had summoned to the workshop in advance.

    The aftermath did not end with the spirit of Lee Ha-yool.

    As if contagious, the spirits began to glow and launch fierce attacks, and began to advance.

    The various data gathered in this way pointed to a certain judgment in Lee Ji-yeon’s mind.

    But I’m not sure.

    Actions have consequences. If you succeed, you gain. If you fail, you lose.

    Lack of self-confidence makes us hesitate to take action.

    We end up hesitating, weighing the losses and responsibilities of failure before the benefits of success.

    Lee Ji-yeon is a person who lacks confidence.

    Success cannot be assured, especially when others’ values are at stake, in terms of loss and responsibility.

    It was also her weakness.

    Careful judgment is a virtue of a leader, but on the battlefield, life and victory are determined by split-second decisions.

    “… All members of the Dark Force! Break through the front line at once!”

    After a brief moment of hesitation, Lee Ji-yeon gave a loud instruction.

    An order given before the reason. It was a common occurrence on the battlefield, but it was natural for those who received the order to be puzzled.

    Why would you stick your head into that army when you have a stable front line?

    How far will you break through again?

    There is not much to be learned from an urgent directive. Such hesitation breeds reluctance to act.

    “Wedge formation with me in the lead! Reach the goal quickly!”

    “““Yes!”””

    However, the Dark Force followed Lee Ji-yeon into the battlefield below the castle walls without any resistance.

    Because the leader is delayed? Because he is the legitimate successor to the family?

    That’s true. The reason they followed me here in the first place was because the leader was Lee Ji-yeon.

    ‘What happened just now? What happened to our little girl?’

    ‘Wow. I thought it was the lord.’

    ‘I feel like I’ll get my head hit right away if I resist.’

    An even bigger reason is that I simply cannot think of refusing Lee Ji-yeon’s instructions.

    The dark unit members who had been automatically following Lee Ji-yeon and opening the way opened their eyes wide belatedly.

    The overwhelming aura, like an avalanche, did not allow any objections.

    Not only that, but I also feel a sense of security that I can follow along without objection.

    It’s a sense of stability that I always feel while working with the current owner, Lee Ji-ah.

    -Kwaaang!

    The expansion ability that Lee Ji-yeon displayed in the lead exploded.

    The monsters blocking the path were blown to pieces. The Six-Piece Sailor and the Dark Knight Unit opened the path.

    “Ah…! Purification Unit! We will break through too!”

    “Yes! Children! The master is in danger! Charge!”

    Hong Yeon-hwa, who noticed the situation a little too late, also kicked the ground.

    Upon hearing the news that Lee Ha-yul was in danger, Jeong-hwa Joo and her purification unit rushed to her and went against the waves of monsters together with her.

    “Okay, Man-gyeong Unit! Chang-pa Unit! Let’s go too!”

    “Oh my, you’re having a hard time right after work… Go dig in between the mountains!”

    These are the people who raise their weapons while crying at Baek A-rin’s instructions.

    Before the matter of the territory could be resolved, the Man-gyeong and Chang-pa units of the Chang-hae family, who had been dragged to the battlefield, also jumped into the battlefield.

    After a short time, the three major clans’ troops advanced.

    When the fire broke out, monsters roared and rolled on the ground.

    The ground shook, swallowing and crushing monsters, and dead monsters became commanders and attacked living monsters.

    The frozen chunks of ice crashed into pieces, and the waves crashed in various places, putting out the excessively burning fires and refreshing the energy of the land.

    -Beep, beep, beep!

    “Ah, ah? Kids? Kids! Where are you going…!

    In addition to that.

    The spirits, who were suspiciously desperate, eventually pushed the monsters with all their might, disobeying the contractor’s orders.

    Rather, Rihanna responded by scraping away at her magic power and releasing most of the spirits, and the monsters that appeared at least 4th tier or higher had their limbs and bodies shattered in a flash of light.

    The Association’s punitive force, which had heard the observation information, also broke away from the front line and joined the battlefield.

    The waves of monsters that had been rushing in with great force were now hesitating and even being pushed back into the sea.

    “… Huh?”

    “Huh…?”

    That was when.

    The faces of the rock band members who were getting closest to the target point gradually began to show doubts.

    A feeling that is gradually becoming clearer. It is not an unfamiliar feeling. Rather, it is a familiar, if not familiar, feeling.

    -Bam!

    A clump of monsters flew towards the mountain that had burst in front, obscuring the view. Seon Ji-yeon, who was in the lead, opened her eyes wide.

    “Junior… !”

    I couldn’t help but scream.

    A small number of commanders are forming a circle to block the monsters on all sides.

    In the center of that circle, there is something lying limply on the floor.

    I couldn’t be sure just by looking at it. The condition was so serious that I doubted his survival.

    “These… mere monsters─!”

    One of Lee Ji-yeon’s legs, enraged, hit the ground. Boom! The terrible force completely took away her dominion over the land.

    -Kwagagagagak!

    All the monsters in the area were torn apart by the towering thorns and buried in the ground, crushed beyond recognition.

    Lee Ji-yeon, who hadn’t even noticed the tragedy she had committed, ran to Lee Ha-yool in a panic.

    -Grrrr…

    Aeros, who was blocking the monsters, also noticed this and did not block Lee Ji-yeon’s path.

    “Fuck, fuck…! What the heck is this? What the hell happened to me… ”

    The closer I looked, the more horrible the condition became.

    Before finding a healthy place, it was difficult to find a less injured place on the whole body.

    The right arm is covered in ugly burns that have burned away without a single space, and the left arm, which was replaced with an artifact, is now completely empty.

    He placed his palm on Iharul’s back.

    There was no warmth at all, and my eyes fluttered in shock at the cold skin.

    -…thud…

    “Sa, alive… ”

    He was still alive. The barely perceptible beating and the faint sensation of life assured him of that.

    Lee Ji-yeon carefully injected all the vitality that existed and did not exist into Lee Ha-yool.

    “… Hey, what’s that?”

    “I don’t know either. Let’s just block it for now.”

    Lee Ha-yool’s injury was too serious to leave right away.

    While the healing-skilled members of the medical unit also lend their strength to emergency treatment.

    The other unit members formed a makeshift formation to surround Lee Ha-yul, but they couldn’t hide their dumbfounded expressions.

    A special admission student from the Poetry Cradle, who looks no different from a corpse.

    Why is it here? How did it come to be? Why is it like that?

    Before such a question even arises.

    Lee Ha-yool’s right hand dug into the ground.

    More than the terrible burns, the uniqueness blooming from those hands is so familiar.

    “That big mountain… ”

    “I told you I don’t know what the fuck… ! First, first, just watch… ”

    Mt. Taishan.

    My eyelids fluttered at the word that came to mind.

    Soon, troops including Gyeophwa and Changhae arrived quickly.

    “Ah, ah… ”

    Hong Yeon-hwa couldn’t pay attention to things like Taesan. She was too busy trying to hold on to her senses, which were about to faint at the sight of Lee Ha-yool lying on the ground like a corpse.

    “Oh… This is crazy… ”

    “… … ”

    Baek A-rin swore at Lee Ha-yool and clung to him, while Elia knelt down without saying anything and poured out a healing melody.

    Among the many healing-type superhumans who clung to Lee Ha-yool was Baek A-rin.

    The water of the sea has healing properties, and Baek A-rin herself has talent for healing and has put in effort.

    Beyond first aid, it can provide sufficient help even to near-fatal wounds.

    It was at that time that he was about to manifest the sea and pour out his energy.

    Lee Ha-yool’s body trembled.

    -Kwarrrr…!

    “Huh?”

    A stream of water poured down. The water with healing properties flowed around Lee Ha-yul’s entire body, causing healing.

    Ice covered Lee Ha-yul’s body. The parts that seemed like they would fall off were frozen with the cold air and temporarily attached.

    “… ?”

    “… Huh, ra… ?”

    Baek A-rin opened her eyes wide. This was not Baek A-rin’s Changhae. It was not the Changhae of another Changpa unit.

    This is a creation that started from Lee Ha-yul.

    Everyone froze for a moment at that sudden, unrealistic sight.

    Lee Ha-yool, who had practically lost consciousness, was unaware of the situation and instinctively moved to survive.

    A small force entered the fingers that dug into the ground. Kuung! The ground shook. Soon, the life energy from the ground was sucked into Lee Ha-yool’s hand.

    It was a Taesan that was openly displayed as if it was a confirmation kill.

    By the way, Lee Ha-yool, who is known to the world, was the one who brought about the cowardice.

    “… … ”

    “… … ”

    In the middle of a battlefield.

    Even though it was a place where you could never let your guard down, for a moment everyone lost their minds.

    The members of Gaphwa, Changhae, and Taesan were speechless and looked at each other’s blank faces in turn.
