Chapter 223: Ambush

“?”

At the words of Redkros, Riinka tilted her head.

And to solve Riinka’s doubts, Redkros continued.

“I have no intention of attacking back and forth.”

“It will take some time, but the remaining Amiletta Faction forces can be driven out by pushing them head-on.”

“Then?”

Riinka asked. If they do not intend to attack back and forth, then why is he telling her to flank them? And what does it have to do with destructive power?

Redkros took out a map from his arms and unfolded it in front of Riinka. And showing her the map, he said.

“If you cross the valley and stay here, the retreating guys will come soon enough. Give them a big bite. I hope there are no survivors at all.”

“Will they come this way?”

Riinka narrowed her brow slightly. That was not the only exit, there was another one.

“Yes, they will not go to Area A.”

Retreating meant giving up area B completely.

In other words, it means that Area A will be isolated, and knowing that they would not retreat to Area A’s outpost.

“Then.”

The reason to catch behind was not just to catch those who retreated.

“If you catch the retreating ones and go this way.”

There was one more reason.

“There will be a supply base.”

It was the supply base.

“Can I attack it?”

“Yes.”

The real reason for infiltrating was the destruction of the supply base of the Amiletta Faction.

The supply base is big. In order to destroy such a large place, Riinka’s magic was necessary.

“Okay. When can we leave?”

Riinka asked, nodding her head.

“Now.”

“Now?”

“Hahahahaha”

Jang Gyeong smiled with an absurd expression on his face.

It was because of the main scenario ‘Chimera’.

“Will it be sorted out in three days?”

He thought that the first quest would take about a month to finish.

However, after he found out about Soo Hyuk’s existence, he expected it to be over within a week.

But there was not only Soo Hyuk in Pangea.

“I underestimated the users.”

The power of users was enormous. The first quest, which was expected to be one week, ended in three days.

Even though Soo Hyuk went to the Demon World.

“How long will the Demon World war take?”

Jang Gyeong tapped his keyboard and started to check the information of the 10th Demon World.

“Oh hey.”

After checking the information, Jang Gyeong exclaimed.

“I thought you would capture it right away.”

If it is Soo Hyuk’s power, it will not take that long to capture the castle.

It was because they just had to rush in and shoot the magic.

But Soo Hyuk was moving along the quest now. He wondered if he would go straight to the castle to go to the library, but he was acting completely differently than he thought.

“Is it because of the contribution? Or the friend he goes with?”

He did not know why. Whether it was to earn a contribution or because of Yeon Jeung is with him.

“It won’t be over so soon.”

One thing is certain, the War of the 10th Demon World was not going to end quickly.

Of course, compared to the main scenario ‘Chimera’ it will end faster than planned.

After checking Soo Hyuk’s situation, Jang Gyeong searched for another user in 10th Demon World, the Hunting King.

“Oh.”

The information of the Hunting King appeared on the monitor, and Jang Gyeong exclaimed again.

“He finally got the quest.”

The Hunting King, who had been wandering around, finally received the main quest.

It is not a war quest. It was the 11th Demon World portal quest with a recipe box as a reward.

“Are they going to leave now?”

In the case of Soo Hyuk, he can proceed only after the war is over.

However, in the case of the Hunting King, he may proceed regardless of the war.

“The question is whether they can deal with the Balrogs.”

Of course, it was not all smooth sailing. It was possible, but the difficulty was very high.

“Can they deal with a High Balrog?”

They can deal with a normal Balrog, but can the Hunting King party kill a High Balrog?

“I think it will be difficult.”

It seemed difficult no matter how hard he tried with his party members.

It was because a High Balrog was not alone either.

___________

After arriving at Laneta Valley, Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung started looking around the valley.

It was to find a way where the Kyrad demons would come from.

“Doesn’t it seem like there’s only one way to get here?”

After looking around, Soo Hyuk asked.

“Yeah, the other places are too rough. If they come, I think it will be from over there.”

Yeon Jeung nodded at Soo Hyuk question.

There was not only one road, but it was too steep. The only way to come was the valley between the cliffs.

“Then I think we should wait around here.”

Soo Hyuk frowned and looked around once more. They cannot stand proudly at the entrance to the valley.

They had to hide themselves.

“If they do not know, would you like to go up there? You can also see them when they come.”

Soo Hyuk was checking the surroundings, then looked at the top of the cliff and said to Yeon Jeung.

They were sneaking so there was a possibility that they would come through the rough road rather than the easy one. There was no place for them to hide.

“OK.”

Yeon Jeung nodded once more at Soo Hyuk’s words.

So, they both moved to the top of the cliff.

After arriving at the top of the cliff, they hid between the trees and bushes, looking down and waiting for the Kyrad separate unit to arrive.

“How long will we wait?”

Yeon Jeung asked while waiting. They do not know when the separate squad will come. They could not just wait for them to come.

“About 30 minutes?”

Soo Hyuk replied.

“Do you want to infiltrate?”

Yeon Jeung asked with a smirk.

Even if a separate wing is coming, it cannot be done in 30 minutes.

He had told Allard that if the separate unit did not come, they would act as a separate unit in the opposite direction.

In other words, Soo Hyuk’s words of waiting for 30 minutes meant that they would directly infiltrate and cause chaos.

Soo Hyuk smiled. without saying a word.

10 minutes later.

“Uh?”

Yeon Jeung exclaimed.

‘‘?”

Soo Hyuk could not help but wonder at Yeon Jeung reaction. It was because Yeon Jeung suddenly lowered his body.

“Soo Hyuk. They are here.”

Yeon Jeung told Soo Hyuk in a quiet voice.

“Did they come?”

Soo Hyuk asked as he approached Yeon Jeung.

“Yea.”

Soo Hyuk, who asked just in case, could not help but be surprised by the answer of Yeon Jeung.

He quickly laid down beside Yeon Jeung and checked the direction he pointed at.

Soo Hyuk exclaimed as he saw the number.

‘How many are they?’

A huge number of demons were flowing through the valley.

‘One,two…’

Soo Hyuk gave up counting how many there are. Because there were too many to count.

“What are we going to do? Are we going down?”

Soo Hyuk thought about Yeon Jeung question.

‘If I cast magic from here…’

What if he casts magic from the top of the cliff? He was sure it would do a lot of damage to the Kyrad demons.

‘Okay.’

After deciding Soo Hyuk told Yeon Jeung.

“I will attack from here.”

“With magic?”

“Yea.”

“I’ll cast Guardian.”

“Okay.”

In response to Soo Hyuk’s words Yeon Jeung casts the skill ‘Guardian’ on Soo Hyuk.

[User ‘Yeon Jeung’ becomes your guardian.]

[Attack power has increased by 10%.]

[The guardian ‘Yeon Jeung’ receives 50% of the damage received instead.]

[Hunting EXP increases by 50%.]

[Guardian ‘Yeon Jeung’ receives 20% of Hunting EXP instead.]

Seeing the messages, Soo Hyuk moved to the best place to cast spells from. Then he waited for the Kyrad separate unit to arrive just below the cliff. Soon, the separate unit arrived near the cliff.

Soo Hyuk prepared to cast magic.

It was then.

‘Why are they stopping?’

The separate unit stopped moving and the demon at the front said something. Then, 10 demons behind them turned around and disappeared.

‘What?’

Soo Hyuk was puzzled.

[The quest ‘Annexation of the Kyrad Faction’ has been created.]

And at that moment, a quest was created.

‘?’

A question mark appeared on Soo Hyuk’s face as he quickly checked the quest window.

{A separate unit of the Kyrad Faction noticed discovered you}

Due to the magic emanating from Amiletta’s mark, the Kyrad Faction’s separate team noticed your presence.

The Kyrad Faction’s unit has decided to kill you.

Survive their attack!

Quest Reward: ???

Seeing the quest Soo Hyuk frowned.

‘Damn the mark.’

He forgot about the mark. A place from which Amiletta’s magic was constantly emanating. There is no way the demons of the Kyrad Faction could not feel it.

‘How can I fix this?’

It seemed that he had to somehow solve the magic that was flowing out of the mark.

‘It’s not all bad though.’

Soo Hyuk thought as he closed the quest window.

He was caught, but things were not bad.

‘If they are trying to kill me, they won’t run away.’

It was rather good.

Soo Hyuk looked down.

All the demons below were looking up.

“Firestorm.”

Soo Hyuk cast Firestorm while looking at the demons.

A fire storm appeared and began to approach the demons.

It was evident that the demons were perplexed.

Soo Hyuk chuckled.

”?”

However, in the circumstances that followed, Soo Hyuk was confused.

The firestorm suddenly disappeared.

‘What?’

Why did Firestorm suddenly disappear?

‘Because of the water?’

Could it be that it disappeared because of the water in the valley?

“Poison Storm.”

Once again, Soo Hyuk cast Poison Storm. A poison storm appeared and approached the demons.

However, again this time the poison storm approaching the demons suddenly disappeared.

‘What?’

Soo Hyuk frowned.

Something was strange.

‘Surely.’

Then, with a sudden thought, Soo Hyuk looked closely at the demons.

‘Dispel?’

There are two cases where magic disappears. When it is canceled or dispelled by another magic.

‘Is there a demon who uses magic?’

Apparently, among the demons, there were demons who mainly used magic.

‘Well, how many?’

Come to think of it, there were so many demons, but it was strange that there were no demons using magic.

‘But it’s not enough to get rid of my magic.’

A person who has just become a wizard cannot dispel the magic of a high-ranking wizard. Soo Hyuk’s magic was incredibly powerful thanks to his overwhelming wisdom and equipment.

They could dispel his normal magic in succession but his powerful ones they will not be able to.

“Hey, they are coming up?”

Yeon Jeung said.

Demons were climbing up the cliff.
