“Go away!”

The whole party shouted in fear as they boarded.

The flying car dispatched by my subsidiary was a drone, just like the one we rode before.

The elder’s blood clot was still in my palm.

“Where is the saint now?”

As I said that, I brought up the map of Magusfall on the terminal.

“Here it is.”

“Well, it’s still moving.”

“Chris, is it too late to go now?”

“There are only a few people by the saint’s side now.”

The elder quickly added to Ray’s words.

“What, you can know so much detail?”

Now that we’ve prepared the flying car, we should take off.

“So what are the coordinates?”

“It’s about here.”

Ilseong entered the destination for the flying car on our behalf.

‘By the way, where is Midas?’

It was clear that Ray had brought it, but it was nowhere to be seen.

As I thought about that, I briefly looked down at my feet… and saw Midas huddled in the corner.

“Midas, don’t stay there. Come here.”

“Heeelp.”

“What, why are you like that?”

“I’m hungry.”

“Eww, you pig! Wait a minute.”

If I could just solve this problem, I would be able to give Midas all the food he liked so much.

“Ray, can you listen to Midas for a second?”

“Okay, leave it to me.”

Midas moved around in Ray’s arms.

It seemed that he was very upset that he was brought home when he was just eating well at home.

It’s obvious that he’s been eating feed all this time.

In the midst of all the noise, only Eslock and Lillian remained silent.

“Let’s leave quickly.”

As soon as Ilseong finished entering the coordinates, the flying car gained altitude and began heading to the destination.

While the rest of the party checked the situation in the North on the TV built into the flying car.

Ray and I checked the nun’s location in real time through the elder’s blood.

“Can you tell me what the saint is talking about right now?”

“I can see it.”

“….”

The way he answered and the way he spoke were exactly like Lund.

Is it because it’s your real self instead of your old fake self?

“Fortunately, the saint and the church seem to have distributed their forces here and there.”

“…Why?”

“This is a great opportunity to attack our strongholds in various parts of the north.”

“No, then what about the power around the Sujeong Palace?”

“Our side is fighting from all sides.”

“You haven’t given up on finishing second place either, right?”

“That’s right. But since the saint herself is in that state, the probability of that happening is very low.”

“Hmm….”

***

As the elder said, since the saint had left the battlefield, it seemed unlikely that would happen.

It may have broken away since enough damage had already been done.

I thought it might be impossible for the Sage of the North and his children alone.

Meanwhile, I was watching the situation in the North on TV, so I couldn’t help but hear it.

At first, only news of the Lidocaine Association and its subordinate forces being unilaterally defeated came out, but as it seemed that the 12 tribes had begun to counterattack, news of the opposite began to come out as well.

“What do you think, Eslock? Do you see any guys you know?”

“Yes, I see a few guys who have been doing the branch work since I was there.”

Listening to Eslock, it seems that the troll vampire I saw was also a tribe leader.

However, most of the people who were said to be the witnesses were either people Eslock did not know or people who were not originally there.

“Well, there must have been a lot of changes there too.”

“Maybe it’s because of us.”

I thought maybe it would be like Ray said.

“Chris, is there any change in destination?”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

As expected, Ilseong was meticulous.

The position of the Saint may change over time.

Every time that happened, I would go with Ray to the elder’s blood and ask for the saint’s current location.

“Here it is.”

“What? I think I’m closer to the crystal palace than before?”

“I’ll correct it in that direction first.”

With Ilseong’s answer, I asked the elder’s blood.

“What is the saint talking about now? What’s the situation?”

“It seems another saint has arrived at the scene.”

“…Huh?”

Not one, but two saints?

No, it’s not like there’s only one saint in the church, but she wasn’t expelled from the church like the fifth one, so I didn’t expect another saint to proudly show up.

“That saintess and the 5th place didn’t join?”

“It seems like she has no intention of joining. The saint is advancing toward us, and the fifth seems to be moving to join depending on the situation.”

As the number of saints increased, the elders also began to refer to all the saints as the Fifth.

The situation on the ground was becoming very urgent.

Information about the newly arrived saint… was limited even when it came to finding out through the elders.

‘Please don’t join.’

We quickly deal with the 5th place and immediately leave the scene.

That was the best we could achieve.

‘And if possible, I hope the new saintess takes second place.’

2nd place, Elder, 2nd and 3rd tribe leaders. With these strong people all in one place, the probability of that happening was low, but it was inevitable that expectations would be high.

“Can’t we speed it up a bit more?”

“…Ilseong, is it possible?”

“It is possible. But it might not be safe. Is that okay?”

“Yeah, because the situation is what it is.”

Ilseong started to change some things.

The flying car’s speed has increased to a point where we can feel it.

“Wait a minute! Isn’t this too fast?!”

“No, it’s appropriate.”

“What do you mean appropriate!”

How dare you talk nonsense when you’re not riding it yourself!

If only I could have struck the elder with blood… but if I did that and he disappeared, it would have been a problem.

***

After enduring the high-speed flight of the flying car while keeping an eye on the movements of the 5th place.

Before we knew it, we were getting closer to our destination.

“I think we’re almost there.”

“Already?”

If we had gotten this close, it seemed like the 5th place would have checked us out too.

“Ray, can you give me a map?”

“Yeah.”

I finally checked the location of the 5th place with Elder’s blood.

“Because this is where we are now….”

It’s really close!

“Everyone, hold on tight!”

“Chris?!”

I forced the side door of the car open, using a little force to avoid breaking it.

“Chris, can I come down right now?”

“Yeah, it’s a quick fix!”

Unlike Ilseong, who was panicking, Eslock and Lillian were already ready to jump down after me.

“Ray, Midas is okay?!”

“Yeah, here it is!”

“Okay, then let’s run!”

“Chris! Wait···.”

I think Ilseong said something!

When I looked back, I had already jumped out of the flying car with Ray.

“Midas, hold on tight!”

“What the heck!”

Midas was following Ray’s words very well. In fact, it was almost as if he had no other choice but to follow them.

Four vampires and a dog roaming the night sky.

“Chris.”

“I saw it too.”

Eslock was just a hair behind me in fifth place.

The elder’s blood was not visible. It may have been blown away by the wind when he jumped out of the flying car.

If not, he might have thought he had done what he had to do and disappeared.

“….”

The fifth and her group were holding their position without moving towards any direction.

Although it is not clear because the distance is far, it seems to have identified us by looking at the direction in which its face is facing.

Immediately afterwards, something flashed at the tip of the fifth-ranked arm.

“Scatter!”

Fortunately, by the time I shouted, everyone had already started moving.

Flashes of light and holy light flew toward us as if of their own will.

Is it true that one of the fifth-ranked people’s arms is not healthy, as the elder said?

“Ray! Don’t forget the operation!”

“Yeah!”

Aslock, Lillian, and I deliberately approached the 5th, while Ray, with Midas, began to fall back a little.

“….”

While we were getting close enough, the 5th place team didn’t make any other attacks.

“What the heck, you really don’t have an arm!”

“…ugh.”

***

As I got close enough to the 5th place, I could see that her right arm was gone.

It wasn’t just that my wrist and elbow were missing… it really felt like my entire right arm had been ripped off.

“I don’t have any business with the rest of you, so get out of the way. If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll deal with you.”

“….”

The number of other nuns next to the fifth is five in total.

Two of the larger nuns stepped forward while the rest of the nuns began to focus on treating the fifth’s injuries.

Do you think we’ll give them that much leeway? Still, it looks like there’s some virtue in the form of not a single person giving up fifth place.

“Eslock!”

“Yes!”

I created dozens of red spheres around my body.

As soon as Eslock and Lillian heard my screams, they rushed towards them.

Then, some nuns spread out barriers, and some nuns increased the size of the keys they were holding in their hands and prepared to intercept.

Looking at the fact that 5th place hasn’t moved yet… one of two things.

Either you’re preparing some other number or you can’t do anything!

Tsupat!

They launched their attack before Eslock and Lillian could reach them. The red spheres quickly rose from their spot towards the Fifth and the nuns.

It felt like the red blood that made up the sphere was being shot rather than the sphere itself moving.

Pavabak! I got blocked by the nun’s barrier twice!

Immediately after, the barrier collapsed and he squeezing through the gap fearfully.

Five or six things were blocked by the keys wielded by other nuns!

That was their best.

The sight of red spheres pouring down from various directions was quite terrifying to me.

If nothing happens, Ray and Midas will have no room to act.

“….”

As expected, it’s not that easy to solve!

The red spheres flying towards them disappeared in an instant.

It was as if several rivers were being blocked by a large sea, pushed by the divine light emitted by the fifth place.

“….”

But it seems that the 5th place had no room to hide his condition from me.

dump-!

As soon as he finished the attack, he collapsed on his seat alone.

“Sister!”

It was a little pitiful to see her unable to stand properly while being supported by the nuns around her.

“You should have been more considerate! How do you feel when you’re in danger?!”

“….”

The 5th place glared at me as if he was angry, but that was all.

Meanwhile, Eslock and Lillian, having just attacked, began to attack from a suitable distance instead of approaching them.

Attacks using each person’s blood.

The two nuns who had been at the forefront and guarding fifth place collapsed.

Even though I might get stopped by the 5th place this time, I’m ready for the next attack.

Now that I think about it, it seems like it’s about time for Ilseong, who was in the flying car, to join us.

“….”

For a moment, my gaze turned to the area near the 5th place and the nuns.

Two nuns fall, while their minds are focused on our next attack.

Ray and Midas have already arrived near them.

I told Ray to back off quickly with my eyes, but it seemed like it didn’t work.

Even if it’s Midas, I don’t think Ray can handle the power of a 5th rank saint yet.

But Ray boldly flew out of nowhere and threw Midas, who he was holding with both hands, as if he was throwing a bowling ball.

“What the heck!”

“What is this!”

I wish that dog hadn’t barked!

***

Midas, who was thrown into their midst in an instant, began biting the nuns without any mercy.

Then the 5th place responded in a nervous voice.

“꺼져! 이 개새끼야!”

“Wake up!”

That’s it! I dare to kick Midas!

I moved the red sphere that I had previously spread out. But apart from Midas being kicked by the fifth person’s foot and flying away…

Midas seemed to have already finished his work.

The bodies of the nuns and the fifth person began to glow golden.

“What is this….”

The nuns around the 5th place lost their balance and fell.

It can’t be helped, since parts of his body are turning to gold.

“That’s all!”

The 5th place tried to use all of their strength.

But at that moment, the remaining arm of the 5th place was hit by a rock thrown by Eslock and disappeared.

“Kkaaah!!!!”

It was a sight far from sharp cutting.

She screamed as soon as the fifth arm, which had been floating in the air, disappeared due to the rock that Eslock quickly threw.

“Midas!”

“What the heck!”

Taking advantage of this gap, I called Midas again.

Midas, determined to free himself from the grip he had been in, ran towards the fifth person with an incomparable speed compared to his usual speed.

“Get out! Get out!”

It was quite funny to see him kicking Midas without even being able to stop the bleeding on his left arm because he didn’t have a right arm.

“Chris, what should I do?”

Ray, who had returned to my side, asked while looking at the 5th place.

“Wait a minute, it looks like Midas will win in that state.”

It was truly a sight to see the 5th place, who had been saying he would deal with me and the 2nd place, struggling against Midas.

“Midas! We don’t have time, so hurry up and finish!”

“Yes!”

This time, Midas answers clearly in human language.

The 5th place seemed slightly surprised by Midas’ appearance.

But Midas bit the fifth person’s ankle regardless.

“It’s over.”

The body of the 5th place, which was already turning golden, began to turn completely golden.

“Ugh…ugh!”

The fifth person let out a painful groan using his face that had not yet turned to gold.

…So, only a few golden statues remained in the place where the 5th place was.

“Midas! Good job!”

“Did you really do well?”

“Then really!”

I petted Midas several times as he approached me, wagging his tail.

“Chris! Ray! Let’s go back!”

“Wait a minute!”

I answered Ilseong, who brought the flying car towards us.

No matter what, I couldn’t leave the 5th place golden prize behind.

“Eslock! Help me!”

“Yes.”

With the help of Eslock and Lillian, the 5th place golden prize was moved to the flying car.

“Is this weight okay?”

“It’ll be okay. Then, shall we go back to the hideout right away?”

“Okay! First, to the hideout!”

As the flying car gained altitude, its doors closed automatically.

As we headed to our hideout building on Grove Avenue, I was able to confirm one piece of news.

Dae-hyeon-in, daily stern warning to the North…”The oppression in the North must stop right now”

It seemed that even the great sages in the center were on edge about this matter.

Well, it’s only natural that the number one person who was in charge of her escort is involved in this matter, right?

“Wait a minute, what happens if things go like this?”

“The wise men of the North will no longer be able to attack the second place. Not right away, but they will stop their attacks soon.”

Although the Lidocaine Association suffered a lot of damage, it did not seem to be completely destroyed.

Still, it was clear that this shifted the balance of power in favor of the anti-Lidocaine forces.
