Kaede’s position became very solid after that incident.

This was because most of the assassins under Kaede, as well as the redeemable assassins she had subdued last time, had joined her side.

Of course, a very small number of morons resisted, unable to abandon their position as vice-commander, and were immediately killed.

“The operation is tomorrow morning.”

A day had passed since then.

It was time to break through this gate.

“Let’s lead everyone in front of the territory’s walls.”

The currently secured forces were roughly as follows:

Ha-yeon’s knighthood and Kaede’s assassination squad.

Finally, the high-ranking mercenaries hired by Elin.

And eight S-class individuals.

Currently, only six had entered this place, but Elin had previously given Shine Reinfield a Water Ring, just like herself, and told her to recognize the signal to come when the Water Ring disappeared.

And recently, she had called them, and soon Delia Rosedel and Duke Trelin would arrive.

Among the S-class individuals called for this operation, Shine was the weakest, so she was in charge of monitoring the monsters outside.

As for the groups, the assassination squad would handle the initial monsters summoned by the enemy, rather than engaging in direct combat, and the knighthood would take care of the rest.

Most of the lower-ranked mercenaries had deserted, and the remaining ones were so-called true ‘adventurers’ who didn’t value their lives, so they followed orders quite well.

“I’m going ahead.”

Raven Reynolds.

The strongest person here said he would go ahead and disappeared in an instant.

Well, he was very difficult to deal with when we first met, but now he was quite easy to approach.

It was hard to call him ‘gramps’ like Jin Ha-jeong did, but he wasn’t as terrifying as before.

“Ah… more than that, I miss Jin Ha-jeong…”

She said, caressing the artifact around her neck.

It hadn’t been long since they met, but as a social outcast, he was the most comfortable person for her besides her sister.

That’s why she couldn’t help but miss him now that she was so tired.

Touching her cheeks, which had turned red for some reason, she left the room.

It was quite a chilly morning.

Of course, she didn’t feel the cold because of her strong physical constitution, but she could tell from the clothes of the people around her.

“Elin, the boss is still there, right?”

“Yes, if not, Reynolds would have come back and told us.”

That was probably true.

If Reynolds found out he wasn’t there, he would have definitely returned and informed us.

“One hour left until the charge.”

She muttered, undoing the button on the upper part of Derkael’s Immortal.

The tie was also bothering her.

“Here.”

She was sitting on a wooden bench on the street, resting with her eyes closed, when she felt something cool on her cheek.

When she opened her eyes, Elin was handing her a cold drink.

“No, where did you get the drink?”

“I brought it, would it be in this world? Well… this is the last one, though.”

It was a small-sized drink, so it wouldn’t have been difficult to bring.

Elin had frozen it with cold water.

“It’s been a while.”

It hadn’t really been that long, but it felt like a long time.

It wasn’t carbonated, but she didn’t like carbonated drinks anyway.

Hmm… more than that.

“I want to eat chicken…”

As some people may know, I am a chicken fanatic.

I love chicken so much that I am a chicken omnipotent who can do anything with chicken unless they are my enemy.

And I haven’t been able to eat that chicken for days!

“It won’t be long now, so be patient.”

Hearing those words, Elin smiled slightly and sat down next to Ha-yeon.

After drinking the beverage for a while, a question arose.

“Where are Fallen and Veronica?”

Kaede was probably keeping the assassination squad on standby.

They were like bombs that could go off at any moment, so she had to keep a tight grip on them.

“Fallen is still in his room, it seems like he has finished preparing, but he is still doing some preparation. And Veronica is…”

“She’s having a hard time getting out of the mansion.”

…..Huh?

“She’s having trouble getting out of the mansion?”

“Well, so she says, but looking at the situation, it seems like she’ll be out soon.”

“No, more than that, how do you know that?”

What, does she have clairvoyance?

“I have an artifact, a Communication Artifact. It’s also Telepathy.”

She showed off the silver ring on her left index finger.

“More than that, when do you think Flash and the magic swordsman will arrive?”

“They’ll probably be here in about 30 minutes?”

That was a relief.

“I just hope they’re not in a profession that’s difficult to move around in.”

Like Kaede, a Dark Guild executive.

Or Veronica, the eldest daughter of a high-ranking noble family.

There were no nobles higher than Veronica here, but there were noble families on par with her, so it was a valid concern.

“It would be best if they were adventurers.”

It was best if they didn’t belong to any organization.

After all, they were just coming to catch the boss and leave.

Thinking that, she closed her eyes again and passed the time.

About 40 minutes passed.

Instinctively feeling it, she got up from the bench and headed to the assembly point.

Soon, she arrived at the assembly point and found a sloppily dressed man and a neatly dressed blonde woman.

Needless to say, it was Duke Trelin and Delia Rosedel.

“Ah, you’ve arrived.”

Rosedel smiled and extended her hand to Ha-yeon, meaning to shake hands.

She had a mix of a noblewoman’s feeling and a noble knight’s atmosphere, so it was something new.

And she heard that the role she was assigned was the young lady of a fallen noble family.

It would have been difficult if she was just a young lady, but since she was from a fallen noble family, it was easy to move around.

“Ah, you came quickly.”

She said, shaking the hand she offered.

After exchanging greetings, she looked at Duke, but he was…

“Haa…”

He yawned.

…It seems better not to greet him.

“Ha-yeon. All preparations are complete.”

Kaede said to her from the side, as she was rechecking her equipment and preparing for departure.

The preparations for departure were complete.

“It would have been a disaster if it weren’t for Elin.”

We were now following the path by tracking Elin’s mana, which was connected to Raven.

Elin didn’t remember the path exactly, so she connected her mana to Raven, whose memory surpassed even a superhuman, and followed after him.

Elin was too versatile.

“More than that, it’s too uncomfortable to move.”

The path was through a forest.

Moreover, there were many trees densely packed, and the ground was muddy with soil from the rain yesterday, and there were occasional vines.

Is this the Amazon?

These were problems that wouldn’t even be problems if I were alone.

But it was blocking us because we were going as a group.

“Should I just sweep it all away?”

I could sweep it all away with just a little mana.

“That’s not a bad idea either.”

“…Oh, we’ve finally crossed over.”

In fact, this wasn’t the first time she had said this.

She had kept saying it before, but every time, Elin said no, just go, it’s a waste of mana, and expressed her disapproval, but we had finally crossed over.

“If we keep going like this, we’ll lose more stamina than mana.”

With that reasonable conclusion, she asked Ha-yeon, but.

There was one person here who was more suitable than Ha-yeon.

“I think it would be better if I did it.”

Rosedel stepped forward.

She smoothed the hair covering her ears and opened the parasol she was holding in her right hand.

…A parasol?

“Lost Light.”

A light voice.

But the result was by no means light.

Bang!

With a roar, most of the trees and terrain in front of us were completely ‘deleted’.

Wow…

‘Was Rosedel’s ranking… 19?’

She was higher than me.

So she was strong.

I had forgotten because I had been feeling very stable and comfortable until now.

“Now, let’s go.”

Veronica, who was next to her, was either used to it, or because she was stronger as the 16th rank, said that casually and advanced forward.

Ha-yeon, who had been stunned for a moment at the sight, also came to her senses and advanced forward with the knighthood.

The straight path that Rosedel had created was very comfortable.

Trees and vines were simply deleted, and the muddy soil was dried as if it had evaporated by the high heat of ‘Flash’.

Anyway, we comfortably stepped on the straightened path and went for 30 minutes.

We arrived at a dark and huge cave that exuded a suspicious aura that anyone could see.

“Ah, that bitch is up to something again.”

A space of constellations where the blood of a huge monster was splattered.

A white-haired boy, who seemed to be the one who had cut everything down, chuckled.

In a way, he seemed annoyed.

But in a way, the boy, who was smiling coolly as if he had been waiting for it, muttered to the empty air.

“Hey! (#^*$(, I can move this much without a price, right?”

As soon as he said that.

In front of his eyes, a message appeared that looked like a System window, but would never appear to an ordinary person.

[Okay. I’ll let you move without a price this time.]

[However, if there is a risk of going berserk or interfering too much with the affairs of the lower world, then I will mercilessly inflict Divine Punishment. God Slayer.]

“Yeah, yeah, that won’t happen, so don’t worry.”

Showing a satisfied expression to the System.

He looked at a window.

“Now… what should I give to our contractor?”

To a disciple who wasn’t a disciple that he was raising after a long time.

The boy was very excited.
