63. Lowering the Curtain.

Yohan looked at them in dismay and spoke calmly. His complexion was very pale, but his eyes were shining with a sharp light.

“It’s finally over. I was worried about what to do if you didn’t follow me.”

“Kuh-heuk!”

Immediately after, the martial artist and the beast-man rushed at Yohan. The female archer reloaded her arrows, and the wind mage…

“Kkeu, kkeueueueueu…”

Was not normal. They didn’t spare him any time. They only looked at Yohan.

The beast-man shouted with bloodshot eyes.

“If we kill you before the wave comes, that’s it! Euryaaaa!”

It wasn’t wrong. In fact, their speed was superior to the speed of the wave. However, Yohan’s expression remained calm. Yohan had not yet shown all his cards.

At that moment, Yohan’s fingers moved busily. It was somehow different from the triggers of the spells he had cast so far. A question arose on the faces of the enemies, and soon their eyes widened.

“No way!”

Hwaaaaaak!

White particles swirled before Yohan’s eyes. The middle-aged man knew what this meant. There was no way he couldn’t know. It was a ‘function’ that the middle-aged man had also done before.

‘Oh no! No wonder that guy’s new teammates weren’t visible!’

Thinking about it, it was strange. Among the humans Yohan killed, there was definitely a team leader. But they never reappeared.

The middle-aged man belatedly realized the reason. It was a moment too late.

Soon, the white particles transformed into human figures. They wore bewildered expressions, then reflexively picked up their weapons. It was an instinctive action.

Jjeo-eo-eo-eong! Bbaaaak!

“What, what is it!”

“Hey! New team leader! What is this…”

It was a word to Yohan. It was absurd for them. They hadn’t received a call from the new team leader for quite some time after they died. They were thinking that another team member had been chosen.

But suddenly, a summons? Yohan relieved their questions with an urgent tone.

“Explanations later! First, those guys in front!”

Yohan spoke briefly and concisely on purpose for quick communication. Fortunately, the summoned people were not fools. They quickly understood Yohan’s intentions and raised their fighting spirit.

“Okay! Let’s kill this chicken human first!”

“I’ll take care of that noona! Keuheuheuh!”

Yohan summoned more than 10 people by rough estimate. He had regained the numerical advantage in an instant. Furthermore, this was not the end.

Tu Kwakwakwakwakwakwa!!!

The wave of transcendence, which had approached unnoticed, engulfed the wind mage and the female archer. They were instantly scattered into light.

Now the only humans left were the middle-aged man and the martial artist. Their complexions turned white.

Behind them was the wave, and in front of them, the elite players from each team were holding out.

The middle-aged man sensed it. No, anyone in this situation would think the same.

‘It’s over.’

Piiiiing-

A blue sphere approaching before his eyes is visible. It was Yohan’s spell. The middle-aged man’s eyes slowly closed.

Pagak! Bbaaaak!

In that way, the middle-aged druid who had gathered so many players turned into pure white particles. His individual combat power was inferior to Yohan’s, but his leadership was a threat.

Yohan stared at the place where the middle-aged man had been with calm eyes…

Tilting─

Thud-!

“Hey, hey! Wizard team leader!”

“You’re going to drop out as soon as you appear? Oh, no!”

Yohan’s new colleagues were horrified and approached him. And sighed.

Snoring-

A man with many scars on his face looked at Yohan. Soon his sword went into its sheath.

“Huh, it must have been really hard.”

“I know. He fell asleep right away.”

The newly formed team leader had collapsed, but they were not flustered. It was because Yohan was a meticulous man.

“Still, he managed to send a message before collapsing, right?”

“It’s amazing willpower. Don’t you remember when he fought that man in black earlier? I’ve never seen a magician who uses shields so well.”

Yohan felt that his mental strength had reached its limit, and immediately sent a message to his teammates. He had used the function that can only be used once a day at a useful time.

“Let’s go. Now.”

They left only a few people to escort Yohan and headed to the surface.

The message Yohan left before collapsing was simple.

[Kill all the remaining guys.]

They decided to do so.

***

Kaaaaang!

Originally a narrow space, but the cheerful metallic sound echoed in the widened cave due to the bombing by numerous humans.

A man’s cry was heard afterwards. The man’s voice was slightly hoarse. Battlefield dust, lack of moisture, strained vocal cords… etc. It was a fully possible thing.

“I’m tired! I’m tired! Euryaaa!”

The man stretched out his long spear. An ferocious smile appeared on his lips without him even realizing it. It’s finally over. If I kill that bitch, I can rest!

Yohan’s existence had already disappeared from his mind. All that remained was a beast swayed by instinct. He only sees what’s in front of him and can’t think about the future at all.

But even such a beast was a dangerous existence to Sara now.

“Keueut!”

A bright blue spear blade protruded from Sara’s slender forearm. It was a penetrating wound. The surrounding muscles would probably be damaged too.

Immediately after, she felt a surge of power. [Indomitable Spirit] was activated. Her hand became blurred, and then the spear shaft was stuck in the man’s neck.

“Keoeok…!”

The man looked at her with a dumbfounded look. The gaze that admired her beautiful features slowly moved downwards. In her hand, a familiar weapon was held in reverse. It was the man’s long spear.

He sensed his death. So he became even bolder.

“Keuheu, die you bitch.”

Puuuuuuk!

In the next moment, different blades were stuck all over Sara’s body.

Cough, pieces of internal organs and blood flowed from her mouth. Someone’s long sword was pressing on her diaphragm. Gradually, she became short of breath.

She was truly a miserable sight. She looked like she was about to lose her life at any moment. The strange thing was that the tower did not take her to a safe space.

Someone thought.

‘Could it be that it still judges that she is worth saving?’

It occurred to him that her injuries were not enough to meet the tower’s standards. He thought she was a terrible woman. She still had strength left!

He gritted his teeth and added more force to his grip. He wanted to kill this woman as soon as possible. For some reason, the more she fought, the stronger she became.

‘Just, die…’

Soon the sword blade sank even deeper. Just a little more and─

He felt something soft. It was definitely a major organ that would be fatal if something went wrong, not solid muscles. But he couldn’t continue to feel that feeling.

Bbaaaak!

At the same time as a heavy weight was transmitted from her side, his entire body was folded in half. Starting with the organs attached to the left ribs, the inside was shaken.

“Keaaaaak!”

Kuang!

The man flew at least 5M and crashed to the ground. Starting with him, the figures of the players who had been inserting long weapons into Sara’s body flew away.

“What, what is it!”

“What the fuck! Are those things by any chance!”

Someone seemed to have realized who the attackers were. But realizing it didn’t change anything.

Yohan’s new teammates took their places one by one. They surrounded Sara and shouted.

“The team leader sent us!”

“Please rest!”

Sara looked at them with rough breaths. It was a face she had never seen before. In other words, Yohan’s plan had succeeded.

She smirked and stretched the joints of her whole body.

Pudeudeudeuk-!

At that moment, several debris stuck in her body fell to the ground. There were also very small hidden weapons, and pieces of blades.

It was painful. But it wasn’t just painful. The more wounds she had, the more critical her life was, the stronger she became.

The teammates were embarrassed to see that. They knew she was a tough woman, but wasn’t that level a demon? Was she really human?

Sara said calmly to them in embarrassment.

“Where is Yohan? Why isn’t he here?”

“He collapsed. He’s probably resting now.”

“……”

It was an answer that came out without a moment’s hesitation. Sara’s smile deepened at the answer. They somehow felt goosebumps.

Sara grabbed the long sword with her right hand and rotated it around the sword hilt.

“……He must have overdone it. Did he get mana exhaustion or something?”

The atmosphere had changed. At least they felt that way. But there were always those who didn’t have a sense of it. Someone said.

“Oh, he didn’t just get mana exhaustion. He also suffered tremendous injuries.”

In fact, there were not many visible wounds. He was exaggerating. But Sara had no way of knowing that. So she believed it.

Kwajik!

Sara’s long sword struck the ground. Her eyes were fixed on the man who had just spoken.

The man finally felt something was wrong. Cold sweat flowed down his back like a waterfall. Why is this happening?

“Then he’ll be alone?”
