Chapter 48 (1/2)

Taking deep breaths, the clans stood dumbfounded and at a loss for words in front of the support staff However, both sides weren't able to help each other in any way Every one of thee of being able to fight back

Grr-rr-rr-

In the forest, theclansmen reared its head

It was a crustacean-like th of almost 20 meters The s that seeed blades, had thorns all over its body, and had long, countless tentacles flapping around

“Huh- that crustacean- is here too?” San muttered

“This is- the level of monsters is so different from the information we've received This isn't what these hunters can hunt That's weird Also, these roups” replied Biyeon callanced around and slowly turned towards the support staff His movements were relaxed It wasn't the nor , piles of stone, previously collected by the creere piled up like a tower Next to these stone toere several pointed tip javelins cut from wood They were lined in a row as if part of a fence The other end of the javelins had handles like a cane

Biyeon kept her eyes ahead Focusing on the monsters, she stroked her white sword…

“2nd Company Commander! Forward!” San calmly ordered Yeria

“?”

“Hey! Are you deaf?” he shouted in annoyance while glancing at the center of the base

“Yes… yes, sir!”

Yeria stumbled out and moved towards San The warriors and support staff stared blankly at their captains as if suddenly awakened from their state of horror The situation seeered around in front of the itsto strike a conversation with it, Biyeon walked slowly towards the Archon As she got closer, the Archon exploded forward

Even in this seeht in front of this violent scene, San turned to the support staff ly trivial The overlapping ies of violence over his shoulder and his calm demeanor were surreal for the support staffan unrealistic sense of incongruity and confusion Did their captains finally lose it?

“A lot of Dong-Myung warriors were injured Did you see their injuries?”

“Yes…” replied Yeria weakly

“Organize your co warriors with the medicine we prepared earlier Everyone kno to adht?”

“Yes? Oh… yes…”

“Do it now!”

“Ah… uh… but? Yes, sir,” she responded while sweating profusely Strangely, she felt like she had to follow her orders even in the midst of this chaotic, surreal mess Suddenly, Yeria, as still filled with terror, opened her eyes wide at the scene unfolding behind San

Shh-

Ke-Ek-

Tuk-

Thud-

“Ah…”

Yeria suddenly closed her mouth with her eyes wide open

Gulp-

The support staff and the Dong-Myung warriors all opened theirto refresh what they were seeing They were trying to make sense of what they just saw In front of the past a large rock

The 15-iant monster slowly collapsed to its side

A woman dressed in simple clothes stood tall atop the Archon's crumbled body and waited for the next aze, she fixed her eyes on the next Archon while slowly rubbing the bloodied sword against the fallen Archon's skin…

“Ah! Hey… stop that That Archon's skin is expensive Why are you dirtying it like that…” Sanhis head

“There's too many of them, so I don't have ti a seat atop the fallen beast

The Dong-Myung warriors stared at the scene, forgetting about their injuries and pain Though they had their eyes open and observed the previous scene, they weren't able to see herreleased from a fully pulled bow, she had jumped 10 meters into the air With that leap forward, she was able to put her left hand on the head of the first inco Archon

She then bent her left arm inward and inserted her sword into the soft part of the Archon's chin with her right hand Like a gy her body towards the top of the Archon and made a full revolution with the sword

Her ly elegant Her finishi+ng action was done simply The Archon's head, which was cleanly detached from her 'revolution' around its head, separated fro past a rock
