“1 minute before entrance, standby!”

The Cheonhwa Guild’s camp set up far away from the Sejin Guild.

After settling down in a wide open space and finishing all the settings, they held their breath and looked at the three Queens people standing at the entrance.

“… … .”

Normally, it would have been time for the three of them to have a light conversation and relieve tension, but… .

This time, they didn’t say a word, just looked at each other and waited to enter the gate.

“5 seconds before entry! 4, 3, 2… ! Enter!”

Soon the subjugation war began.

As three people holding equipment jumped over the gate,

Hua Ahhh!

I was exposed to an exotic landscape with the sensation of my whole body being sucked in.

Trees so large that many people could gather around them were so dense that they could surround them.

The sky was a clean blue color without a single cloud.

At first glance, it was reminiscent of a dense forest in Northern Europe… .

Strangely shaped grass and strange-looking creatures grew all over the place.

And the large castle in the distance proved that this was another world.

“Ah, ah. Communications Team Can you hear me well?”

While Im A-rin was checking communications with the command team outside the gate.

Hong Yu-ra and Seol Ju-hee quietly checked their equipment and prepared for battle.

“That’s it!”

“Let’s leave right away.”

With Lim A-rin’s signal, we immediately went in the direction where Black Rose would have moved.

The Queens’ strategy is to quickly decide the match with Black Rose and subdue the witch’s castle, just as Do Ji-hyuk expected.

An hour after entering, the witches who notice that there is an intruder begin to attack first.

Because hundreds of A-class and S-class witches are pouring out at once, you must defeat Black Rose as quickly as possible.

“I think it would be good to do it here!”

By the time we had moved about 700 meters to match Black Rose’s movement radius.

“I’ll ask for cover… !”

Im A-rin, who settled down in a suitable vacant lot, raised her staff, raised her magical power, and began to deploy wide-range magic.

Uuuu… …

Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra naturally surround Im Ah-rin, being wary of their surroundings.

Hong Yu-ra quietly looked at Seol Joo-hee standing across from her.

“… … .”

She was one of those who opposed this subjugation.

This is because I haven’t participated in any gate activities, and I haven’t even been able to properly train individually, let alone team training.

No matter how basic the difference in skill was, I thought it would be unreasonable to compete against Black Rose, who is currently active in the Witch’s Castle, where she has struggled.

More than anything… .

What was most worrying was Queens’ teamwork.

Queens is a team that has outstanding individual skills, but the teamwork that has been built over a long period of time is key.

However, since Lim A-rin was facing the same situation as Lim A-rin, Seol Joo-hee was facing Seol Ju-hee, and he was facing each other as he was, I felt skeptical about challenging the gate that requires high teamwork.

‘I think it’s still okay… .’

Fortunately, Seol Joo-hee and Lim A-rin, who clashed whenever they met recently, did not show much, perhaps because they were aware of the gate.

Hong Yu-ra quietly looked away, praying that no major trouble would arise.

“Found it! Two in 200m! It’s coming towards us!”

At that time, Lim A-rin sent a signal as if she had found the enemy.

“Do you mean to compete?”

“… You’re cocky.”

Hong Yu-ra and Seol Joo-hee took up arms, feeling dissatisfied with the actions of Black Rose, who seemed to be willing to compete.

That moment.

Sooo much!!!

Beyond the dense trees, dozens of arrows began to rain down in an arc.

“Coming!”

Hong Yu-ra immediately raised her sword.

She raised her magic power and swung her sword towards the sky, intending to block the arrow.

Wow!

While Hong Yu-ra was distracted for a moment.

Kwamagagagaga Barcation ──────── !!!!!!!!!!!

Magical power in the form of a huge spear began to rush through the trees.

Gong Gongna’s signature was ‘Gungnil’.

“This bitch… !”

Seol Joo-hee quickly increases her strength and lifts her foot.

Sigh!

The moment she stepped onto the empty floor, a huge wall of ice rose up and blocked Gong Inna’s attack.

Quaaa

The shattered ice wall turns into sparkling powder and scatters in the air.

“Insolent bitches… !”

“Arin! Location!”

Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra, who felt bad about the light attack that seemed to ignore them, immediately demanded Lim A-rin’s location in order to counterattack.

however… .

“Gone!”

“What?”

“I think it’s out of range… !”

Arin Lim was unable to find the members of Black Rose who were approaching.

While Im A-rin’s magic was cut off due to a short attack and defense, she was already out of the range of magical magic.

“Tsk… . It’s annoying.”

“Are you trying to take power from a distance…? .”

“What should I do…? ?”

“… I’ll ask headquarters first.”

Hong Yu-ra urgently contacted headquarters and asked for a response plan.

Will you follow the plan and find and defeat Black Rose, or will you ignore Black Rose and rush into the witch’s castle first to take the initiative?

OK… .

[Saturday, they tell us to sweep it all away! ]

Instructions were given to use Lim A-rin’s magic and blow up the forest together with Black Rose.

It meant continuing the operation.

“Arina. What is the horsepower?”

“It’s still enough… !”

“Then, leave only enough for the castle and burn it down.”

Im A-rin, who nodded to Seol Joo-hee’s curious words, stepped back a little, raised her cane, and struck the floor.

cook!

Then, a triple-overlapping rainbow magic circle appeared on the floor.

Sooo!!

As if trying not to give them a chance, Gong Inna’s attacks began to fly.

“Focus on cover!”

Hong Yu-ra and Seol Ju-hee protected Lim A-rin and continued to block attacks.

I love you so much─────!!!

Kwamagaga Bary ────── !!!

A spear of endless red magic.

The one-sided attack, ranked 4th in the power rankings, was so powerful that even Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra had to focus on defense.

“That’s it!”

We exchanged a few battles like that, waiting for some time to pass.

Im A-rin, who had already finished chanting, raised her staff and struck the floor once again.

Boom!

That moment.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz ─────

A huge magic circle summoned in the sky.

“Joohee!”

“I know!”

Seol Joo-hee and Hong Yu-ra, who saw the magic circle floating above their heads, quickly got close to Im A-rin and prepared for defense.

Kiiing──────!

Hundreds of huge fireballs began pouring down from the huge magic circle floating in the air.

Kwaang—! Kwaaaang—! Bang! Kwaang—! Bang! Quaaang—!

Truly indiscriminate bombing.

Trees swallowed up by a huge fireball fell down, the deep blue sky was filled with acrid smoke, and the densely blocked view was cleared up.

It literally turned into a wasteland.

Quaaa!

And by the time the last bombing was over.

Cheonggrang──!

Seol Joo-hee, who broke through the ice wall to block the heat, climbed onto a fallen tree nearby and went in search of the members of Black Rose.

“found… !”

It wasn’t that difficult to find Black Rose in the empty field where burnt debris was rolling around.

Black Rose’s tanker Kim Min-ju was creating a huge defensive shield using a sword stuck in the ground, and it was immediately noticeable because it was blue.

“I guess I ran away… !”

Just as Seol Joo-hee was trying to attack immediately with his winning spirit burning.

“… Wait a minute.”

Hong Yu-ra, who found them later, noticed something strange.

“One person… , I don’t think it exists?”

“What?”

Seol Ju-hee narrowed her eyes and looked closely at the women who were far away.

Black Rose, who was hiding in the shield, seemed to have confirmed that the bombing was over and came out of the shield… .

What appeared was Kim Min-ju holding a sword and shield, and Gong In-na holding a spear.

There were really only two people.

“I don’t think Choi Hyo-min is here.”

“Didn’t that bowman avoid that bitch?”

At that moment, Hong Yu-ra and Seol Ju-hee were watching them with a small question.

“Guys… !”

As if she had already recovered, Lim A-rin approached the two people.

“Have you recovered?”

“Yes! It’s okay now!”

Since Im Arin has returned, it would be okay to attack now.

“Then let’s go right away!”

The fully assembled members of the Queens attempted to approach directly to defeat Black Rose, who was the only two left.

But then.

“What is it?”

As if Black Rose had received some kind of instruction, he suddenly began to quickly widen the distance.

“Run away… Are you hitting it? ?”

“I think Choi Hyo-min was hit by what happened.”

“Hmph… . Are you attacking me without even knowing the topic and running away because there are only a few people?”

The three decided that Black Rose was incapable of combat and reported it to headquarters.

[Then, I think you can just rush into the castle right away! ]

Queen’s command team, who was informed of the situation, sensed victory and immediately ordered a subjugation.

“In the future… , there are about 20 minutes left.”

“Do you think it will be close?”

“Then let’s get moving… !”

The feeling of embarrassment when you first enter has long since disappeared.

The battle with Black Rose was enough to change the strong friendship between the three people.

As if nothing had happened, they headed towards the witch’s castle, chattering as usual.

“Somehow, it feels like something new… !”

“Isn’t it because we have become stronger than before?”

“Hmph! It’s on a different level than back then!”

The three people relaxed and looked at the huge witch’s castle built on a steep cliff.

The Witch’s Castle, which boasts a luxurious and stylish appearance, is full of hidden traps and various monsters, contrary to its appearance, and is full of witches, humanoid monsters that are difficult to deal with.

When the three of them had just achieved S rank, they had a hard time destroying the witch’s core inside the castle… .

Now that I have become a seasoned hunter, my heart beats more than my fear.

“Then, shall we go?”

“Yes… !”

“Let’s finish quickly and eat something delicious together.”

Just as the three were about to rush into the witch’s castle.

Kwaaaang… ! Quaaa … ! Kwahiah … !

Something flew from the other side and started attacking the cliff where the witch’s castle was built one after another.

“What… .”

“Um, that… !”

“… Arrow?”

It was Choi Hyo-min.

“Choi Hyo-min… !”

“Uh, when will we get there!”

“Two people… . Surely, from the beginning?”

The three people remembered that there were only two people in the first magic spell,

Only then could I understand Black Rose’s true strategy.

From the beginning, they had no intention of fighting them properly.

And the fact that Gong In-na and Kim Min-ju were just bait to take time so that Choi Hyo-min could settle down.

Kwahah Ah Ah ─────── !!!!!!!!!

Quad duk—quad duk duk—───!

The huge cliff that had been hit by successive explosions began to gradually crack,

“That crazy bitch… !”

“No way!”

The three people, horrified by the plan to destroy the witch’s castle entirely along with the cliff, urgently came up with a plan.

“Damn… ! The distance is too far!”

“Arin! Cliff! We have to destroy the cliff first!”

“Okay… !”

Following Hong Yu-ra’s instructions, Im A-rin urgently raised her staff to spread a magic circle.

however.

Kugugugugugugung… … !

“Ah.”

It was already too late.

Kugugugugung… Kugugugugugugung… … thud! Cooo!

The witches who were unable to escape were crushed by falling stones and fell to the ground.

Cluck cluck───!!!

Only a few witches managed to escape, and were flying around the collapsing castle, letting out their characteristic creepy laughter.

“… This… . Nonsense… .”

Seol Joo-hee looked blankly at the collapsing witch’s castle.

Cooo! Cooo!

I can’t do anything.

Cooo! Kuuu!

Helplessly.

Cooo!

It was a loss for Queens.
