304 – Rest and organizing (1)
A room filled with darkness.
A man in a robe was on his knees, his body trembling.
And in front of him is a neatly dressed handsome man.
He couldn’t help but burst into laughter and looked at the man in the robe.

“Kkeulkeul. Dave, you’re wrong this time.”
“… ….”
Dave and Flinclaw.
They were the two leaders of the ‘Ludenarch School’, which has emerged as the worst criminal organization in the world and is currently shaking the world.
But unlike its famous name.
The situation they found themselves in was close to the worst.
“We carried out a diversionary operation… Both failed. Clue.”
The reason was simple.
This is because the ambitious plan prepared by Vice School Head Dave was discovered by humans and came to naught.
Double-action operation, carrying out two tasks at the same time.
In Area 6, Hwang Seong-yeon is given an undead army to wipe out Do Jae-hyeon and the Korean clan.
The Ludenarch School took advantage of this opportunity to break away and invade and devour the empty territory of Korea.
It was a fairly simple yet effective strategy.
The opponent was only making an all-out offensive to conquer the dungeon without knowing much about their strength, and Luden Arc had a way to gather enough troops from outside.
If successful, one could take a step toward conquering the other world.
… That is, as long as it is successful.
“I’m sorry, School Head. There was a mistake in the plan. If you give me a little more time….”
“That’s it.”
School Head Flinclaw’s indifferent voice rings out.
The plan failed spectacularly.
Hwang Seong-yeon of District 6 died a miserable death after being killed by Do Jae-hyun of , And every single one of the undead legions that supported him was annihilated.
That’s not all.
The situation for Dave and Flinclaw outside was not good either.
In Korea, which was thought to be an empty house, the American clan called And S-class holder Liam Hendrix were holding out, so the defectors were chased wherever they went and had to fight fierce battles.
“… ….”
It’s truly a dilemma.
All ambitious plans failed and the Ludenarch School fell into crisis.
The power loss that occurred in the process was enormous, and many of the defectors at the executive level had already lost their lives.
Of course, Dave, who first proposed and implemented this plan, had nothing to say.
However, the head of the school, Flinclaw, did not seem to mind this.
His face is extremely peaceful.
He didn’t seem to have any intention of punishing Dave, nor did he have any intention of doing anything.
Just….
“Going back to our territory.”
“School leader, that’s… !!”
Go back to where you first came from and start again.
Flinclaw had already made up his mind.
“Kkeulkeul. Dave. I understand your regret. “You don’t want to come this far and then leave.”
Flynn Claw, who was bursting out laughing, raises his hands and spreads them around.
“But look. Aren’t the results this terrible? The members of the school who had done everything in their power to resurrect me and drive me away were exterminated, and most of the executives Dave Neer cared about also lost their lives. “Kkekeul, what more do you want to do here?”
“… ….”
There wasn’t a single word wrong.
The damage the Ludenarch School has already suffered is so extensive that it is questionable whether it will ever be able to recover.
In such a situation, continuing to stay in the present world was just stubbornness.
“Humans won’t be able to easily conquer Area 7 anyway. “Because it is our territory that contains the essence that Luden Arc has accumulated over many years.”
Areas 1 to 5 are also called ‘temporary zones’ within the school.
Because it is a beginner level and an area within the school that does not pay much attention to magic traps or troop deployment, it is actually not very difficult to conquer.
Area 1 was not named ‘Abandoned Research Institute’ for nothing.
However, from Area 6, which is said to be the area owned by school members, the difficulty level increases significantly.
It is a dangerous area where ordinary people could die just by breathing if they set foot in it, unable to overcome the darkness and curse.
No matter how powerful And the Korean clans were, they were not easy to attack from then on.
“Kkeulkeul, let’s go back and plan for the future. “Just like I always did.”
From Luden Arc’s perspective, this is something that can buy time.
And what we are waiting for in the future…
It was an all too familiar experience for Flinclaw and Ludenarch.
“… All right.”
Dave reluctantly answers.
Flinclaw added a shocking statement.
“And Ripley, that vampire b*tch betrayed me, clap. “It seems human blood is delicious.”
“…… !”
“More helpers are needed. “Help the Termen and Beltane guys in the area to become deserters as well.”
So the Ludenarch School decided to retreat strategically.
* * *
It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.
I never thought I would say something like this.
I have never fainted during a battle, and I have never collapsed from an illness.
In the first place, fainting during an attack was a natural situation, as it was a critical situation to the point of death.
“Hey, Master… !!”
“Jaehyun!!”
Anyway, my crisis seems to have been resolved well.
I opened my eyes looking at an unfamiliar ceiling and saw familiar faces greeting me with smiles on their faces.
“Umm….”
I looked around and found a room I had seen before.
It seems to be a rest room in the Clan Tower.
In the room, people who could be said to be close to me were all gathered together.
Three lovers and their assistant master, Master.
Jinwoo Park is a friend of each team leader from .
In addition, holders who helped in various ways in this operation, such as Park Ji-hwan and Choi Yu-min, were standing nearby.
‘I feel somewhat embarrassed.’
I feel somewhat embarrassed that the people around me are gathered together like this and waiting for me.
I cleared my throat a few times and opened my mouth.
“Seeing everyone gathered like this, it looks like the strategy was a success.”
The string of memories remains until the murder of Hwang Seong-yeon.
After ending her terrible relationship with him, countless information windows came up as her reward.
And then he fell unconscious.
Then Team 4 team leader Kim A-reum, who was next to me, smiled and showed me the pad.
“Thanks to the Master who defeated the most dangerous enemy. Here.”
In the pad she handed over, various articles related to this incident were piled up.
– Hwang Seong-yeon, the owner of the magic sword, is killed by Do Jae-hyeon’s sword!
– Clan, perfect attack on District 6! There were no deaths…
-The worst criminal finally caught, now all that remains is Ludenarch.
-‘S unrivaled strategy performance, standing shoulder to shoulder with the top three clans… A sample of a small elite clan.
The first thing that popped up was, of course, the story of our clan’s successful strategy.
I was able to quickly understand the situation by listening to the contents of the article and the explanations of the clan members.
The undead legions remaining in the dungeon were the troops of the Ludenarch School, but their command was held by Hwang Seong-yeon through a contract.
This could be seen just by looking at the ‘Bone Dragon’ moving under Hwang Seong-yeon’s hand at the beginning of the battle.
Is that why?
Right after I fainted after defeating Hwang Seong-yeon, the undead army also lost its leader, who had been the focal point.
And Master, an S-class holder and assistant master, is someone who would not miss such an opportunity.
I quickly rallied my clan members and led them, successfully completing the remaining strategy.
The number of deaths is zero.
There were only ten people injured, including me.
And the enemies in Area 6 were annihilated.
It was an amazing result, not even the word perfect.
“That’s amazing, Master… “No, assistant master.”
When I sent a look of admiration and respect towards Eunseol Yoo, to whom the title ‘teacher’ is still more commonly used, she responded with a slight smile as if it was no big deal.
“As the team leader of Team 4 said, this was possible thanks to Jaehyun. “With Hwang Seong-yeon’s death, the undead army lost its cohesion.”
Sometimes, when I look at you, you seem like such a perfect person.
Even though he has already reached the top position in terms of ability as an S-class holder, he is often shown not losing his humility and respectability.
Perhaps that’s why there were so many independent holders who followed her, and it seems that because of that, she was reluctant to join other clans.
“What is this atmosphere?”
“I feel very uncomfortable, Chae-eun.”
“… ….”
As I was doing something else for a moment, I heard the voices of Kim Chae-eun and Moon Ga-eun coming from somewhere.
I cleared my throat a few times and immediately changed the topic.
“Holder Areum Kim, so what happened to the remnants of Ludenarch?”
“Ah, yes. “After we started conquering Area 6, Luden Arc’s school leader and vice-school leader defected to the present world.”
“Leaving… “You said you did it?”
This is something I had never thought of.
Of course, we thought that the enemies would counterattack as they sensed our intrusion into the dungeon, but we did not know that they would boldly attempt to escape to the present world and target domestic areas.
“Yes. “Look here.”
Kim Ah-reum continued her words while flipping through new articles on the pad.
“They say that the legion-level undead that we encountered at the final destination of the maze where death touched us have descended on the present world as well.”
Combining the contents of the article and her explanation, the situation was like this.
While we were attacking Area 6, the executives represented by Ludenarch’s school leader and vice-school leader and other defectors defected to the present world and attempted to invade the country.
However, the Allied strategic team predicted this situation to some extent.
They requested aid from the United States and brought in the Clan and Liam Hendrix.
And with their help, we were able to quickly suppress Ludenarch’s forces that appeared in the present world….
“… “Great things happened while we were in the maze.”
“The Allied forces did not just sit still.”
“Then, by any chance, have you captured all the executives, including the school leader?”
I know it won’t be that easy to catch, but I’m asking this question just in case.
At this, Areum Kim lightly shook her head.

“They say they went back to the dungeon. And with that, my dungeon raids also entered a lull.”
The last articles that were quickly flipped through come into view.
-Part 7 , Which has crossed the ridge, what will happen in the future?
-Holder Association Chairman, “It looks like it will be a long-term battle starting from District 7.”
-The annihilation of Ludenarch was a long-term war… We take turns targeting major domestic clans!
-Liam Hendrix, “I will come back anytime if Korea asks.”
“Just now, the president of the Holder Association came and left a message. It is said that in the future, there is a high probability that conquering the Leaver’s Room will lead to alternating raids by clan. “He said he would give priority to our clan with the highest merit and that we would talk again when he wakes up.”
Area 6, which we have completely conquered.
However, starting from Area 7, there seemed to be traps and troops that were difficult to attack even for major domestic clans.
So the decision made by the Allied Forces was to alternately attack each clan.
The keynote was to set an order for each major clan and attempt to attack them according to the situation and time.
“So….”
“Yes, it is a kind of truce.”
The moments when I ran after Luden Arc and Hwang Seong-yeon without stopping.
The time has finally come to take a breather.
