Petra’s mercenaries quickly ran down the hallway, cutting down the people at the top of the Full Gather.
I have no hesitation about killing people. Just doing what needs to be done to complete the mission. I’ve already been on this floor too long to feel guilty.
“Were they all gathered on the first floor?”
“Is the second floor quiet?”
Unlike the first floor, where all kinds of shouting and noise were rampant, not even the slightest sound of footsteps could be heard on the second floor.
It won’t be quiet because there’s really nothing there. Even at the top of Full Gather, something must have been prepared in case of an enemy attack.
Petra walked slowly down the hallway, raising her senses as sharply as possible.
Just like that.
A metallic sound is heard as soon as the door is opened.
Easy profit!!
The chain that flew in as if it had been waiting wrapped around his two swords and caught them.
“lol. “Kill me.”
A man with messy black hair said, pulling on the chains wrapped around his waist and shoulders.
Eyes rolling back as if he was half out of his mind. Small twitching around the eyes. A musty smell coming from their bodies.
‘It’s drug addiction.’
Petra glares into the man’s red eyes and smiles bitterly.
“Because you get so sick of things like that, you don’t know what’s right and you end up throwing a tantrum.”
Petra’s muscles swelled as if they were about to burst, and she pulled the sword wrapped around the chain.
Petra, who probably didn’t expect that she would be pushed out of power, buried her forehead into the man’s embarrassed face.
Pak!!
“Keuheook!”
Red blood pouring out of the nose. At the same time, Petra released the chain and stabbed the guy in the heart.
The man, whose eyes are wide open, experiences a brief convulsion and then falls limp.
“You weakling. “Did it have an awakening effect?”
A female crew member with brown hair tied back narrowed her eyes and stroked her lips.
“Captain, this seems strange.”
“what?”
The crew had doubts about the vague number of enemies they saw on the first floor. If you look closely, their fighting styles are all different, and it felt like they gave away the entrance to the first floor too vainly.
But on the second floor, a drug dealer who wouldn’t be surprised if he died at any time was hiding and attacked.
If you wanted to use it with all your might, wouldn’t you have placed it with more people? Are you afraid that it will be difficult to control because you are just a druggie? Or is it because it doesn’t matter if I die?
“It’s clear that the 1st and 2nd floors are discarded cards. This-.”
Kwaaa!!
At that time, a loud thunder was heard from outside the building. A firepower so powerful that it briefly shook the building came pouring in from outside.
“what?”
Petra, with her eyes wide open, clings to the wall and glares out the window.
An intense electric light that pushed away the darkness filled the front yard of the top and disappeared in an instant.
Only the black traces drawn on the floor and the strands of electric current crawling on the floor prove the existence of the lightning from before.
Most of the troops at the top of the Arcane had already collapsed and were writhing on the floor.
“crazy… … .”
“Did that wizard do it earlier?”
“Is that so?”
The crew urgently searches for the wizard in panicked voices. But no matter where I looked, the wizard was nowhere to be seen.
“I’m not a wizard.”
Petra looked somewhere beyond the window with a stiff expression on her face.
A man trudging along in the dark. The man holding the sword with a subtle rust color looked at the scenery of the front yard he had created and took out the second sword hanging from his waist.
“Using dual swords? Who is it?”
“I don’t know either.”
A swordsman who uses dual swords and spreads tremendous brain energy.
No matter how much they thought about it, such a prosecutor did not exist in their minds.
“If you have that level of skill, there’s no way we wouldn’t know.”
“Was there a reason to attack Arcane in Full Gather?”
The wizard who was providing fire support outside was probably already dead. The starting point of the thunderstorm was where the wizard was.
Moreover, just by looking at him like that and not even a single magical spell flying, you can tell that he is not here at least.
“Are you sure Sangsangju and Acro are here?”
“yes. Would we have joined without that much information? “There is also Ren Argen’s family here.”
“Don’t touch those people. know? “I don’t know if you don’t mind becoming enemies with Ren Argen.”
“of course.”
The game would be over if they went first and caught only the hidden Sangsangju and Ak, but the members of the 4th Division, who had a feeling that it would not be easy, hardened their expressions.
“The first and second floors are bait. “They will probably hire mainly criminals, pretend to be members of the upper level, spread out on the 1st and 2nd floors, tie us up, and then start blocking them from the 3rd floor.”
“Was it a ploy to buy time until that man came? “It wouldn’t make sense for me to go and join, right?”
“yes. Even if the captain can win, his efficiency is low. “If you just attack up here, kidnap the merchant and Akman, and run away, you will win the fight.”
The crew members who said that nodded and quickly scanned the remaining rooms on the second floor. He killed those who were hiding with a single sword and ascended to the third floor.
As time got tighter, their hands became more cruel.
Crash!
As Petra heads up the stairs to the third floor, fireballs rush in.
Huuu.
A fireball the size of a head flew off, charring the wall, and suddenly fell in front of Petra and exploded, causing a fever that covered the stairs.
“Ugh!”
Petra, whose hair was slightly burned, pushed away the flames and jumped out, running down the hallway.
“Stop it!”
“Protect the wizard!”
The members of the top block the way in an instant. Tiny eyes can be seen through the gaps between them, which are so densely packed that they obscure the wizard’s appearance.
A small dagger pulled out of the chest like a thunderbolt penetrates as if being sucked into a small gap between the members of the upper class and hits the wizard’s eyeball.
Sigh!
“Khaaa!!”
The wizard falls down, clutching his face, writhing in pain.
‘There is nothing real here.’
As time passed and the situation became more urgent, Petra’s senses became more sensitive than usual.
Soldiers at the top of Full Gather and numerous mercenaries. The wizard Petra neutralized a little while ago was a strong mercenary, but no matter how much I tried to spread the feeling, I couldn’t sense anyone comparable to him.
‘The wizard is a trick to buy time.’
Frowning, he gives up searching the third floor and turns around.
“Run away!”
“catch! Stop them from going up to the fourth floor!”
Full Gather swordsmen urgently catch up with the mercenary group that turns around.
“Captain, it could be a trick of theirs.”
“If you make a decision, you have to follow through to the end. “There’s nothing I can do.”
Time is running out. Even at this very moment, a monster must be coming up from below, wiping out the soldiers at the top of the arcane.
“Move.”
Petra bursts through the crew, kills the mercenaries blocking the path to the stairs, and stands in the hallway.
A dual swordsman who wields brain energy. A sense of crisis comes from the moment you see that monstrous power.
‘Couldn’t that person be Ren Argen?’
Ren Argen was said to be an expert using swords and archery, but I never heard of him using dual swords or lightning weapons.
‘Eloi you son of a b*tch. Ren Argen is also a problem. Don’t you tell me that we can even deal with monsters like that?’
It is said that Full Gather prepared it in secret, but if a monster of that size moves, there is a high probability that a fairly large deal was exchanged.
Does Arcane, a large upper deck, have less information than Full Gather, a medium-sized upper deck?
If you didn’t know the existence of that monster, the problem is incompetence, and if you did know, the problem is the shame of deceiving us.
‘Could it be that Eric knew this and skipped this mission?’
Even though Ren Argen is obviously great, I thought it would be a waste to give up the mission’s reward, but now that I see it, Anglerfish fits the bill perfectly.
‘Tsk.’
What difference will it make if I regret it now? In the end, all he has to do now is successfully complete the mission and go grab Elroy by the collar.
“Stop it! “They came up!”
When you get to the fourth floor, enemies are waiting with swords drawn.
“Leader! “That monster is coming up now!”
“sh*t.”
Petra cursed harshly.
The news of the arrival of reinforcements brings smiles to the faces of the enemies. It was a smile of confidence that they had won.
Petra quickly turned her eyes and scanned the entire hallway.
Long hallways and landings lined up on either side. The soldiers blocking the gap and their eyes shaking as if they were anxious.
The spirit of those standing as if guarding the room at the end of the hallway is particularly strong.
‘If you keep going like this, you can check the room at the end of that hallway. but… … .’
If there were no merchants or acros there, the probability of being overtaken by the monster would rapidly increase.
What if that is a trap? As it is, the operation is no different from failure.
After thinking that, the structure of the building over there comes into view. If you wait too long and a monster attacks, you have no choice but to fight, but there are no windows or stairs on the other side.
A structure that makes it difficult to escape.
‘It’s a trap.’
Petra trusted her intuition. And raise your head up. I spread my senses upward as much as possible.
‘It’s not even the 5th floor, this is…’ … .’
rooftop.
“Going to the roof!”
“yes? “On the rooftop?”
Enemies’ reactions to Petra’s cries change. The smile on my face quickly disappeared and embarrassment began to build up.
‘That’s correct.’
“Catch it! Stop them from going!”
“Everyone come down from the fifth floor!”
Only then did the mercenary members who had been blocking the enemies coming from the third floor join.
“It’s the rooftop!”
Petra forced her way through the enemy lines, risking a few scratches on her body.
There were more enemies than I thought. Petra, covered in blood and with small wounds all over her body, stood in front of the rooftop door.
bang!
Then, when they roughly kicked open the rooftop door, a group of people stood there and looked at them.
“uh?”
“You’ve already come this far?”
“Ha, we finally met.”
Petra took a deep breath and said. In the back, the members who had not yet penetrated the enemies were unable to come up, but it did not matter.
In the end, it was easy to subdue everyone here if only you came up.
“Were you here? Scylla, Acro.”
Scylla and Acro, who were hiding on the rooftop, look at Petra and their expressions harden.
“I heard the 4th Grealish mission success rate is so high, so it’s expensive.”
“If you only realized that now, you are not qualified to be the leader.”
He laughed and jumped off the ground. This is the end of our leisurely conversation. First, capture Scylla and Acro.

Whoa! Kaang!
A knight next to him blocked his sword and fell on the floor.
“Ugh… … .”
“Rayman! are you okay?”
“It’s okay… “It’s okay.”
Lesia and Seia urgently helped Raymon, who had fallen.
“hmm?”
Petra finally recognized the two people. As for the two women of a status who could be taking refuge with Scylla and Acro… … .
“Is it Arjen?”
“okay.”
“plaguy. You two, get out of the way. “I only have business with these two.”
Petra, who said that, is about to approach Scylla and Acro, but Resia and Seia block their path.
There is a sword hanging on the white-haired woman’s waist, but it’s probably not something to worry about.
“It’s dangerous! “If you two are like this-.”
“are you okay. Ren is coming up now. “You just have to hold on for a little while.”
Petra’s eyes widen at Seia’s words.
“wren? “That person coming up now is Ren Argen?”
Quaaa!!
At that time, another huge explosion erupted from inside the building.
It seems that the crew and Ren ran into each other.
‘Ha, how on earth did this happen?’
Why is Ren Argen here now, and what happened to the abilities he uses?
‘Nothing matches the rumors.’
Now that things were like this, I had to quickly take those two hostage.
“Move!”
“aaah!”
He pushes away Lesia, who was blocking Scylla’s path, wraps his arms around Scylla’s neck, pulls out a dagger and holds it to her.
“Sangdan lord!”
“I’m okay. so-.”
“Quiet.”
Scylla remained silent at Petra’s words.
Thud, thud.
At the entrance to the rooftop, the members of the 4th mercenary unit that came out from inside the darkness were lost and thrown to the ground.
And then a man appears from the darkness, his gray eyes flashing and he frowns.
“Lecia?”
“brother!”
Blood was flowing from Lesia’s legs, where she was lying on the ground and had her skin chafed on the floor.
“… “This bastard.”
A blue thunderbolt swirls around Ren’s first marriage, feeling uncomfortable, and begins to emit electricity.
“Don’t move. Otherwise, Scylla’s head will be blown off.”
As Petra brought the dagger closer, blood poured out from Scylla’s neck.
“… “Do you think it doesn’t matter if your friends die?”
Ren gathered his brain energy in front of the members of the 4th mercenary unit gathered in one place.
Petra frowned at that sight and slowly removed the dagger.
‘Ha, it’s Ren Argen. If this happens, threats won’t work.’
Can you kidnap a merchant and run away with Ren Argen in front of you?
‘… … impossible.’
We reached the worst situation. The crew has been neutralized, and even if they catch the merchant, it will be difficult for them to escape if Ren chases them. I don’t think I’ll let go.
Now that this has happened, there is only one way.
‘I will defeat Ren Argen.’
That’s when Petra thought so and was about to propose a fight.
“How about we stop wasting time and have a fair fight?”
Petra twists her lips at Ren’s suggestion as she enters the station, calms her gaze, releases Scylla and pushes it towards Acro.
“… good night. “I was also curious about the skills of the famous Ren Argen.”
