To be honest, I didn’t expect much from Gazeel’s weapons.
Although good weapons have their limits, I didn’t expect them to make much of a difference.
“What, what is this…?”
They completely overturned my expectations, and it was quite significant.
“Boom! Bang! Bang!”
The magic bullets flew towards the monsters.
Although their power was not that great, it was only half as powerful as Kaine’s weapons.
However, the number of monsters rapidly decreased due to the magic bullets.
Although the power of the magic bullets was not that great, the reason for the rapid decrease in monsters was…
“The firing speed is too fast.”That’s right.
Usually, magic takes a long time to cast, and the power is not that great compared to the casting time.
However, the magic bullets fired by 100 mages were incredibly fast.
‘Of course, that’s to be expected.’
Magic requires incantations, while the magic guns only require pressing a button.
So, it’s natural that the speed would be significantly different.
“Hmm…”
Bid was surprised, while Lucy puffed out her chest.
“How do you like it?”
“Yes, it’s amazing.”
Bid unconsciously spoke politely to the young girl.
Then, he turned to Gazeel.
“As far as I know, you don’t make weapons for war, Gazeel-nim.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Gazeel nodded, stroking his fluffy beard.
“But these days, the situation is quite serious. Look at these monsters. Can humanity handle them without these weapons?”
“…”
Gazeel’s words were true.
The saints and the strong could defeat the cult.
However…
‘Defending is a different matter.’
No matter how strong they are, humanity would be destroyed before they could defeat the cult.
So, these practical weapons are essential, along with the saints and the strong, to prevent humanity’s destruction.
“Sigh… Anyway, you’re amazing, Gazeel-nim. I’ve heard a lot about your reputation, but I didn’t expect you to create such weapons.”
“Well, I did my part, but this kid and that brat, Kaine, also helped.”
The kid he was referring to was Lucy, who was smiling beside him, and the brat was Kaine.
‘What happened to that brat to make him change so much?’
As Bid was wondering this, he heard…
“Guild Master! The mages’ magic has been completely depleted!”
The bullets had run out.
“Drink the potions while guarding the mages!”
There were plenty of potions prepared in advance.
‘With Karin-nim’s potions, their magic will be restored quickly.’
Bid turned his gaze to the battlefield.
The number of monsters had decreased significantly.
If they had to block four entrances, it would have been quite dangerous, even with the magic guns.
‘But with only one entrance to block, we have more than enough people.’
As Thomas said, this was not a dangerous war.
Of course, assuming that the David family had eliminated the cult’s main base.
.
.
.
At the same time, John, one of the cult’s branch leaders, frowned at the situation unfolding before him.
“What… What’s going on here?”
The monsters were being slaughtered, which was the opposite of what he had envisioned.
He had expected the monsters to ravage the people, but…
‘Instead, the monsters are being ravaged.’
The monsters were being knocked down by the strange magic bullets, but that was not a problem.
Although the magic bullets were quite threatening, it seemed that they didn’t have any side effects.
So, there was no reason to stop.
‘But the variable is still quite serious.’
The reason John was surprised was…
‘Who is that woman?’
A woman was releasing her sacred power and blocking three entrances alone.
Moreover, she was doing it with a relaxed expression.
‘Is she a saint?’
But could a saint block three entrances alone?
Although saints are chosen by the constellation, they still have limitations.
However, her strength was on par with the highest-ranking demons, which was beyond the realm of mortals.
As John tried to guess who the woman was, a name suddenly flashed in his mind.
‘Saint Ange…?’
If it was her, everything made sense.
She was a famous saint, even mentioned in books.
And she was one of the most obstructive figures to the cult.
‘No wonder Andrew-nim took a hostage to recruit her.’
At the time, I didn’t quite understand why he did that.
After all, Andrew had the highest-ranking demons and branch leaders on his side, so why did he need her?
I thought that Elsa’s defeat was due to her carelessness, but…
‘Now I understand why Andrew-nim was so cautious.’
To be honest, I wouldn’t be able to defeat her.
Or rather, I’d be lucky if I could even hold out against her.
‘I thought the content about defeating the highest-ranking demons in the book was exaggerated.’
But it wasn’t.
The woman in front of me was not exaggerated, but rather underestimated.
‘I need to report this to Andrew-nim as soon as possible.’
If I die, it will be a significant loss to the cult.
So, I need to escape from here.
As John was thinking this, a branch leader opened the tent with a panicked expression.
“John-nim!”
“What’s going on?”
“The David family’s forces are attacking us!”
“What?”
Why are they here?
They were supposed to be blocking the north entrance, not attacking us.
John felt a sense of dissonance and quickly turned around.
And as expected…
‘I made a mistake.’
That’s right.
He had been so focused on the monsters and the magic guns that he forgot the most important thing.
The David family was not visible at the north wall.
‘Damn it.’
He was confident that he could defeat them, but he was annoyed at his own mistake.
“Sigh…”
Calm down.
Don’t be careless like Elsa.
First, we need to kill the intruders and then escape.
Otherwise, we might get caught.
“Dale.”
“Yes, John-nim.”
At John’s call, a branch leader knelt down.
Then, John spoke with a solemn expression…
“I will also join the battle from now on.”
“Yes!”
With that, John, a cult branch leader, left the tent.
.

Meanwhile, at that moment.
Kaine and his group were advancing, slaughtering both monsters and cult members. He glanced around.
‘Fuck. Where the hell is that guy?’
The cult executive, who was called a ‘Bastard’ by the players, was nowhere to be seen. He seemed to be hiding somewhere.
“Phew… It never ends.”
Meanwhile, Mark, who was a year younger than Kaine, sighed deeply.
“Someone might think you’re the one killing them all, little brother.”
“Yeah, it’s not like you’re the one killing them all.”
“Well, that’s true.”
To be honest, from Kaine’s perspective, he was just lightly exercising, conserving his strength. Most of the assassins would take care of the rest.
Just then, Malcolm approached them.
“Young Master, Master Kaine, I sense some powerful killing intent from a few people over there.”
The powerful killing intent he mentioned was obviously from the branch leader and the executive.
“You can’t pass through here.”
A man who seemed to be the branch leader appeared, exuding a strong aura. He seemed like a game villain who had to be defeated in order to proceed.
‘Oh, they’re game villains.’
Kaine had forgotten for a moment because it felt so real.
“Young Master, Master Kaine, please go ahead first.”
“Go ahead, brother.”
Lise and Willy glared at Dale with their sharp eyes. Thomas nodded and gave Mark an order.
“Mark, you stay here and lead the assassins.”
“Yes, I understand, Father.”
Thomas tried to pass by Dale, who was emitting a strong killing intent. But…
“Didn’t I say you can’t pass whenever you want?”
The man drew his sword, blocking their way. He seemed determined not to let them pass easily.
“Don’t let your guard down.”
At that moment, Willy swung her sword at the man with precise movements.
“Tsk!”
Dale clicked his tongue at the sudden interruption. He raised his sword to block the attack.
-Whoosh!
As if waiting for this moment, Lise threw her dagger. At the same time…
-Whoosh!
Dale casually dodged the dagger by turning his head. He took a step back and spoke with a voice filled with killing intent.
“I’m one of the top branch leaders. Don’t think you can win with just a surprise attack like that.”
“….Miss, what is he saying?”
“….He’s saying he’s strong, even though he’s from a group that always fails.”
Kaine couldn’t help but laugh at their words. He and his companions headed towards where John was.
Not long after…
“You’re here.”
John, with his muscular build, crossed his arms and looked at them as if he had been waiting.
.
.
.
While everyone was engaged in their own battles, Kage…
-Thump, thump, thump, thump.
She calmed her pounding heart and headed towards Ivrin’s location. After walking for about a minute…
“Phew…”
Finally, they arrived at their destination. Was she setting up something outside the mansion to attack from within?
“What are you doing, Ivrin?”
Kage spoke in a cold, icy tone. The next moment…
-Jolt!
Ivrin noticeably flinched.
“Oh, I’m just lost…”
She lied nonchalantly. Kage looked at the object she had set up.
‘A magic bomb… Is that what the master was talking about?’
When the beastmen were attacked, a bomb suddenly exploded. At the time, she couldn’t understand what was happening, but now she was sure that she had set up that bomb.
“…….”
“…….”
A cold atmosphere filled the air between them. Ivrin sighed deeply and broke the silence first.
“Sigh… When did you figure it out?”
“I only realized recently, but the master knew from the beginning.”
“….I never thought I’d be the one being deceived. I thought I was the one deceiving him.”
Ivrin’s eyes were cold, unlike her usual self. Then, she continued.
“So what? What are you going to do?”
“I have to stop you, of course.”
“Huh? How can you beat me? You could only beat me when we were kids. You’ve been running away and haven’t had proper training. How can you beat me now, with the magic power I’ve been given?”
Just as she said, she hadn’t had proper training for almost a year after running away, and her physical abilities had deteriorated due to not eating properly. But that was all in the past.
-Whoosh!
A white aura rippled around Ivrin’s body. Then, she slowly spoke.
“Do you know, Ivrin?”
“…….”
“Do you remember when we graduated from the Children’s Academy, and we were the strongest among our peers?”
“Yeah, we were.”
“It was an old tradition for the beastmen. And there’s another tradition that goes along with it. When we become adults, we have a rule to spar again.”
Ivrin frowned at the word ‘rule’. Kage took a fighting stance.
“Now that we’ve both become adults, let’s spar again. And….”
She wanted to hear the reason why she had spared her that day.
