Park Hyun stood up from her set, and passed by my shoulder.
All three trainee secretaries followed her swiftly.
In the elevator, one of the secretaries pressed the button for the 12th underground floor.
Behind them stood Park Hyun and I.
Park Hyun spoke without a hint of emotion on her face.
âHow about changing your mind now? Too much of waste for you to die now.â
âDidnât I say before? Start reflecting on your actions. Well, even if you have a change of heart now, nothing would change.â
âYour foolishness is hastening your death.â
âSay that in hell, with all your goons next to you.â
âEven to the end⌠you do not take the opportunity give to you.â
âLet me ask one thing.â
âHm?â
âWhat were you trying to use me for?â
âPfft. By the way, those glasses really suit you.â
Park Hyun was probably laughing at my question by suggesting that she already knew about the camera build into the glasses.
It didnât matter though.
Whatever her goal was, the fact that she will die wonât change.
âYour ability to notice is something else.â
âBut how unfortunate. The 12th floor weâre going to, no signal will go through. If we give the video from the lobby to the association, I can easily explain why you died within this building. Then I just have to get rid of that camera and itâll end cleanly. Right?â
There was not a single incorrect word coming from the smiling woman.
If it went the way Park Hyun wanted, tomorrowâs papers will have the front page as this.
A man who forced his way into a guild located in the southern sector.
To gain entry, he had murdered 13 guards.
In an attempt to stop the man, all the guild members came.
While trying to put a stop to the man, he continued to struggle and perished doing so.
Something like that?
âA pretty good scenario.â
âWill it only be a scenario? Iâll be filming soon, so please look forward to it.â
âI think youâll fit the main role a lot better, Park Hyun?
âI hope you keep up that confidence till the end. Heh.â
* * *
Ding. Underground, 12th floor.
At the 12th underground floor, the glasses became filled with black and white static, along with the sound of buzzing.
Guess what Park Hyun said in the elevator wasnât a lie.
Most likely the camera built into the glasses is not functioning anymore.
Well it doesnât matter now.
Thanks to Park Hyunâs overconfidence of a 100% victory.
I was now able to annihilate them without anyone noticing.
The underground area was very similar to somewhere Iâve seen before.
It was an area that exists in every association building, a perfect replica of the arena for guild battles.
The square ceiling. The floor, walls, and the ceiling were made of the same materials.
If there is one thing thatâs different, there was spectator seating.
I wasnât sure if it is illegal to have a place like this within the guild.
Could be a place to practice for guild battles.
I spent a brief moment looking about.
A leader-like beautiful elder ran up to Park Hyun.
âNoblesse guild 532 present, none absent! That is all.â
Other than the secretaries, I could tell that the elder was the general for the Awakened gathered here.
Then.
âOho? Look at this?â
There were far less people than what I saw at the guild war before.
I didnât know the total number, but I was sure that it shrank.
Following the elder who finished the report, Park Hyun stood the center of the guild members.
They were armed alike. In the center was Park Hyun.
A lady who had 500 guild members following her.
âAfter seeing all this, do you still think you can get out of here alive?â
âWhat do you think?â
âImpossible. There wonât be a corpse left to find.â
âSince weâre on the topic of corpses, if it wasnât for all of you planning to use my mother, I was at least planning to let your corpses be returned to your respective families. But you already crossed a river you shouldnât have.â
Hearing my words, Park Hyun instantly turned to stare at Sangmin and Jae Hyuk expressionlessly.
Other than those two, no one else would reveal that information to me.
Gaining back her facial expressions again, she spoke.
âYouâre going to die anyways. After that, your precious motherâs life is not of any importance. Sheâs not needed. Isnât that a relief?â
âFunny. But looks like the number of your members dropped? Guess youâre working them real hard?â
âPfft. 21! People who made a stupid decision like you. Youâll be joining them soon.â
âEven with that face, you talk like a scum really well. So scary. Letâs fight already and get this over with.â
Soon as my words finished, magic flew from all directions.
The group had spread out in pairs of 40 to 50 like the time in the guild battles.
Park Hyun retreated to the rear.
By her side, 40 or so members including the secretaries stood to guard her.
I was positive that was the elite squadron.
Over 500 members had begun their attack simultaneously.
From one side, high class magic was being cast.
While keeping distance, all classes poured their ranged attacks relentlessly.
To attacks like this, using Frozen Shield or Reflect Shield was a bit too dangerous.
Even if it took some time, it would be best to continue keeping up the Mana Shield I casted before.
As if getting rid of weeds, I felt the battle would go a lot smoother if the weaker ones were removed first
I raised my hand and received their spells.
In a split second, Louverâs Ring absorbed massive amounts of mana and sent them to the bracelet.
The bracelet shone with bright radiance.
The next skill would be an empowered skill more than twice as strong as the regular cast.
Since I was using Mana Shield, I could only cast a spell with one hand.
Thatâs why I needed to choose an effective spell.
First I used the monster in a pocket! Devil Avatar.
Even now, I was not used to the Howling they used every time I summoned them.
Blue, Yellow, and Red.
Frost, lightning, and fire aspects were summoned, one of each.
I think my luck is pretty good.
There probably are members who have high resistance to one type of element via passive skillbooks.
Thanks to Louverâs Bracelet, the summoned had a far larger body than what they usually had.
The summoned avatars began to blast spells without remorse.
They attacked anything I determined them to be enemies.
That would be all life forms in front of me.
Awakened with low resistances due to being low level began to fall one by one.
Jae Hyuk and Sangmin were included in this.
Didnât really care for Jae Hyuk, but I did have a soft spot for Sangmin.
However. Now knowing everything, I did not need emotions like that for this.
âAHHH!â
âHâŚHEAL! I NEED HEALING!â
The battle ground the Devil Avatars went through, only annihilation stood in their wake.
Charred black, bodies that were shattered to pieces. There were bodies covered in blood, barely still alive.
The avatars didnât hesitate for a second, continuing to attack.
To the injured, healers began to cast healing spells from afar.
The battlefield was enveloped in chaos swiftly.
The healers couldnât focus because the screams were mixed with the sound of battle.
They couldnât leave formation and go around healing.
To the healers, I casted Hold and Bind.
âNo need for doctors!â
There was a reason why I didnât use an attack skill on them directly.
Healers. A class that raised their mana stats primarily.
If they casted âFlashâ that all classes can use to try escapingâŚ
It would get annoying.
To end it quickly, they needed to be targeted first.
Hold and Bind were no longer single target skills, but had become AoE due to being leveled up to 100.
Other than a few high level healers, all were frozen in place.
A giant stone golemâs hand rose from the ground and grabbed their feet.
A net shaped Hold tied them up in place.
They couldnât move a muscle. I used Flash to approach them instantly.
To the approaching reaper, instead of running, they couldnât even move gasp in horror as they were stuck in place.
To the grouped bunch, I caste Fire Shock.
âAwakened Fire Shockâ struck with bursts of flame.
I didnât even look behind me.
There was no reason to look at the pathetic deaths of those who couldnât even move or scream as they died.
After 10 seconds of its duration, I couldnât even find a single trace of them.
It was possible because the skill level was at 134.
Park Hyun, who was far away, wasnât panicking a little bit.
If her thoughts of me having âhigh mana regen rateâ was correct, my mana shield shouldâve been broken already.
But unlike her expectations, I was absorbing all the magic being thrown from all directions without any issues.
Moving in front of those she was being guarded by, she began taking command.
âA ranking healers! Retreat back to your assigned areas!â
With one word from her, those who had ignored both Bind and Hold with ease were absorbed into their respective groups.
The healers stood in the center of their formations.
âCast Mass Heal! Tanks, bards. Cast defensive skills! All magicians, cast your highest ranking spells!â
Mass Heal was a skill that allowed healing on the injured within a certain radius.
The mana cost was equivalent to the amount healed, so it was a heavy costing skill that only healers could use.
I didnât have enough time to take out these pinheads one by one.
I had to take them all out and get out quickly.
I was against time from the start.
The reason was that Noblesse had a guild battle to attend to in 40 min.
If they didnât attend, the association will contact the guild.
Because to not attend was against the agreement made with the opposing guild and with the association.
The punishment depended on the times they didnât attend.
There were cases of all guild members not being able to enter dungeons, or even losing their Awakened licenses.
And the entire guild is currently at a location where signal doesnât work.
The association hunters that will come looking for the guild thatâs missing will be suspicious of the building that is sealed shut.
And if they see the horrible state of the inside?
I was going to get blamed for everything that happened, since I didnât have a single bit of alibi.
With Iceberg and Meteor Call were at level 40, the duration had been lowered to 4 minutes.
But to hit all those who have spread out, the affected area wasnât big enough.
I was casting Gravity Laser and giving them continuous damage.
However it wasnât doing much, as they had already formed up ranks.
Even if the skill was Awakened, it couldnât go through all the magiciansâ shields and the tanksâ defensive skills.
âDamn. I donât have time for this.â
Finishing my thoughts, I stopped casting Mana Shield.
The shield stopped covering my body.
Immediately, I casted Reflect Shield, Frozen Shield, and Spirit Armor.
At the lowest, they were level 100 spells. It wouldnât break against attacks like these.
I casted Flash to get between the two formed ranks.
One on each of my sides.
Around 100 people were clumped together.
Eyes of the Storm. And Typoon Hole!
Above both groups, a massive whirlwind formed.
âLetâs see how long you last.â
Both skills spun them at an incredible rate.
Spinning at massive speeds, it already started to pull in everything.
Those who had already spent their mana were swept off and grinded to a pulp.
No matter how much defensive skill they use, they wonât last long.
They were receiving a massive amount of damage from the synergy between the two skills.

All perished within 3 minutes.
The grey tornado had become red with blood, and shredded bits of meat flew about everywhere.
