The eighteen Players trembled like school children about to be punished by a teacher Rodo off an energy that was so violent and wild that it gave them the chills

‘Goddaht back so I didn’t expectht one-on-one with this beast?’

‘H turns and distracting hiht, and so did Cha Min-Woo They previously thought that they could handle hi froap between their expectations and reality now that they were close enough to hear even his breathing

‘Jun-Ho-niainst someone like him?’

They bit their lips Was it because they were scared? Of course, that was a part of it, but there was another

‘Dammit, what kind of burden did we place on a three-ive hi e’

‘Genius displays itself even in childhood[1] Seo Jun-Ho is going places’

They felt both embarrassed and ashamed

“10 minutes” At that moment, a veteran Player spoke He was the sa earlier “I don’t think any of us can defeat hi it, all the Players there nodded Perhaps itwith the rest of the dark elves quickly finished up their fights and joined thehteen of them, it was an impossible feat to defeat such a monster

“So let’s just survive the next ten minutes”

“Is there any reason why it’s ten minutes?” Cha Min-Woo asked

“I heard from the back lines that Seo Jun-Ho will completely recover in around ten minutes”

Seo Jun-Ho’s recovery

The Players looked determined when they realized that they just had to hold on for tenRodo on for ten minutes was much more doable

‘Ten minutes…’

Cha Min-Woo resolved himself Fortunately, he didn’t look back; because if he did, Seo Jun-Ho would have seen the fear in his eyes “We can do it If it’s just ten minutes, we can hold on…” he chanted under his breath

“Dodge, you idiot!” A Player next to him pushed his shoulder As he rolled on the floor, he felt the vibrations of the cave in his bones

‘An attack!’

Rodomir had made the first hteen people directly shattered

“Ugh”

But thankfully, no one was hurt Cha Min-Woo gripped his sword

“Thank you for saving ether!”

“Roger!”

The eighteen Players all oal

‘That ahjussi said that we just need to hold on for tentheir lives on the line It would be unfair if the only thing their opponent lost was tiamble his life too’

They had their pride as Players, after all Nineteen figures twisted and fought, ai for each others’ lives

Rodo to feel uneasy

‘They were like ants before…’

When he assessed them before the battle, he hadn’t been too worried about them He had been confident that he would be able to kill theest

But as soon as the battle started, things went in an unexpected direction

“You insects!”

His eneo and catch that person, and during that time the rest of them would attack hi so hard?’

Rodo at the humans When he saw the fierce look in their eyes, he realized that these disgraceful pests were trying to hunt him

“Hahaha?”

‘The power difference is obvious’

If they were smart, they should run with their tails tucked between their legs, but they were actually trying to kill him

He felt disappointed in himself when he couldn’t kill them all immediately

‘Why do I feel so uneasy and afraid?’

He gripped and ungripped his fist He hadn’t realized it yet, but he hadn’t been using his full power Rodomir looked past the Players

‘That human’

It was because the hu at hi to recover frohed It was funny

‘I a and had burned my own soul awayyet I’m wary of that human?’

How could it not be funny?

But his laughter didn’t last long The amusement left his face, and his eyes beca his sword at the Players’ heads again It was the same trajectory as before, so they reacted the same way, but the results were different

“Ahhhh!” A Player screah his shi+eld and chest Other Players quickly sent hiasped for breath Healers immediately attended to hih?”

“Is he finally starting to get serious?”

An alarm went off in the Players’ heads When they checked the time, they realized that it had been seven minutes since the battle started

‘There are still three minutes left’
