068. Reunion
An unexpected accident occurred.
All kinds of monsters were waiting near the camp, which was firmly said to have been abandoned.
I’d like to ask you how you knew, but now wasn’t the time to worry about that.
“There is an escape card there too!”
“Catch it!”
“Don’t miss a single one!”
Monsters chase after you as soon as you run out.
It was difficult to handle them one by one as a duel.
In the first place, duels were generally ideal for 1-on-1 battles, so there were many problems with defeating them all at once.
“Master! The enemy is approaching from the sky. I think they are trying to overtake us and block our path.'”
“It’s so annoying…” !”
“Shall I intercept?”
“No, let’s take a detour and avoid battle as much as possible.”
“Then what should I do?”
“If neither the ground nor the sky work, the only thing left is the underground!”
I took out a card from the menu and threw it forward.
This card is called ‘Twisted Land’ and has the effect of destroying the monster with the lowest attack power on the field.
It can finish off one monster that is chasing you, but it wasn’t a card taken out specifically for that purpose.
“Let’s jump in!”
“Yes!”
The ground where the card fell cracked, creating a huge gap.
Phineas and I threw ourselves into the gap and went inside.
The monsters that were pursuing also showed signs of trying to follow, but the gap that swallowed the monsters closed in an instant.
At the same time, the wall was rapidly closing in to crush us.
However, the ‘excavation robot MK2’ that was brought out along with the distorted ground created a hole in the rock wall, and they were able to get under the ground safely.
The problem of insufficient oxygen and ground collapse was solved by using a continuous magic card that generates air and a continuous trap card that reverses gravity.
“It will be okay if you go underground. “I took a quick look when I left the camp earlier, but I didn’t see any rock monsters.”
“Did you grasp all the detailed information in that short moment? As expected, I can’t match the master’s insight!”
“Thank you for the compliment. But it’s still too early to be reassured. Even if there are no rock tribes, it doesn’t mean you can’t enter the underground.”
For example, looking at the digging robot I brought out, I was able to confirm that it was a machine type.
Even if there are no rock tribes, there are machine tribes that are likely to chase them underground.
If we borrow the power of the machine tribe, it will take time, but we will be able to reach the stratum where we are.
When it is safe like now, we must escape from the chase net as much as possible.
“As the master said, even if it is underground, it is not easy to defeat the enemy.”
Finess suddenly takes a fighting stance.
Have the machine tribe already arrived here?
The ground began to shake subtly, and a pursuer appeared from the right wall.
“Kshaaat!!”
“Ugh! “f*ck!”
The identity of the pursuer is not a machine race, but an insect race.
It was a giant centipede that was creepy from the outside.
“I will take care of the insects that flock in, so please continue working, master!”
“Okay!”
Finesse burned the whole centipede with his head in it.
Although he had sealed his power to avoid God’s curse, Finesse was still strong.
As someone who had used her finesse before seeing her true power, I didn’t have to worry about her.
‘But I don’t know how many people will come in the future.’
I thought that one digging robot was not enough, so I spent DP to summon as many digging robots as possible.
The total number of monsters that can be summoned is 5.
Finesse occupied 1 space, and excavation robots occupied a total of 3 spaces.
I could have taken out one more monster that could be worked on, but I decided to leave it empty first.
If the number of Finesse becomes too much to handle, you will need one more guard monster.
“There is a faint sound of a drill coming from above. It looks like the machine tribe is also trying to join in.”
“I’m saying I won’t give you even a moment’s notice.”
“What should I do now?”
“If the underground is not safe, we have no choice but to go back to the surface!”
I turned the working direction of the excavating robots upward.
At the same time, Finesse was asked to collapse the ground at the rear to block the escape route.
At least to confuse us about which direction we are coming from.
It is meaningless to the insect tribe, but the machine tribe can never figure out our location.
Because I activated a continuous trap card called ‘Radio Jammer’ that nullifies the effect of machine-type monsters.
“But if you go up to the ground, won’t it eventually become dangerous again?”
“Unlike the insect race, other races will also use the passageway created by the machine race. “All we have to do is make our pursuers think we are underground.”
Even after coming to the surface, I plan to leave the digging robots to continue working underground.
One day, it will be caught and destroyed by its pursuers.
But it was a sacrifice we had to make in order to escape.
“You can stay on guard at the back and come forward when I give the signal.”
“I understand.”
We gradually increase our altitude and make the pursuers decrease their altitude.
The pursuers would have divided their forces to capture cards other than us, so just trapping them underground would have significantly reduced the number of those pursuing us.
You just have to take advantage of that gap and escape safely.
“Finesse! Slowly come forward!”
“Yes!”
Light was leaking, albeit faintly, through the tightly packed soil.
Meaning of getting closer to the ground.
I called in Finesse and escaped to the ground again.
The excavation robots were ordered to disperse and work underground again.
After that, we quickly covered ourselves with dirt and moved our legs again.
“The master’s prediction was accurate. “There is no sign of anything nearby.”
“Okay. Let’s keep going.”
Because the terrain where we escaped was a forest, it was difficult even for monsters capable of flight to determine our location.
You may need to consider the moment you get out of the forest, but you can slowly find a plan.
“Ha! I thought it would be over once I got out of the camp, but what happened…….”
“Things always go wrong.”
“That’s right.”
“But aren’t you quite used to being a fugitive?”
“Regardless of getting used to it, I think experiencing this once is enough… ….”
What kind of person in the world would enjoy being a fugitive?
Rather than living a life of being chased and chased every day, it would be better to sleep with your legs stretched out in a banned camp.
I turned my head back to say that if I escaped safely, I would hide for a while.
Then, before I knew it, Finesse appeared right behind me and pushed my body forward.
“Ugh!”
I was pushed away and ended up rolling around on the ground.
Because it was grass, it didn’t hurt when I rolled, but my body stiffened from shock due to the sudden shock.
“Ugh… ! “What on earth are you doing?”
I rubbed the back of my head and pointed out Finesse’s behavior.
But before I could hear the answer, the scene unfolding before my eyes made me understand the situation.
Drop-tuk-!
Blood dripping down Finesse’s arm.
Dozens of cards were stuck on her slender forearm.
If Finesse hadn’t pushed me, the person who matched her card would have been me, not her.
“Finesse!”
“I’m sorry, it’s uncharacteristic of me to let my guard down. I never thought there would be an ambush of an enemy whose presence I couldn’t detect… !”
“It is something to be proud of, even though it is late, we have been able to detect our presence. “Fugitive.”
With a deep male voice, shadows came out from the trees and surrounded us.
The people who performed a surprise attack that caught the enemy off guard were called the six charlatans.
They were warriors wearing hats and light clothing, holding various types of weapons.
I got caught by a very difficult opponent.
“How did you know our location?”
“Our resourceful staff predicted that you would pass by here. “I was skeptical, but seeing as he got it right, it looks like his skills are still there.”
As for the staff of the six charlatans, he is a white-haired old man in his 60s.
He was a creditor who helped the six charlatans survive from all kinds of conspiracies since his prime.
And now, with his years of experience, he has been reborn as a great veteran. There was an official setting.
Unknowingly, I was fighting a battle with a general who had gone through many hardships, so I had no choice but to lose.
“You escaped here and there by deceiving others, but unfortunately, your luck ends here.”
“Damn… !”
“But it would be a shame to end it like this. “If you know cooperation, you have to give the other person one chance.”
“What are you going to do with us?”
“Pull out a card! “If you win the Jingeom Duel, I will send you off cleanly!”
In short, it meant that representatives of each faction should fight one-on-one.
“Master, I will fight…” !”
“No, I’m going out.”
In a favorable situation, the leader of the six charlatans placed unfavorable conditions on himself.
But sending out Finesse does not suit the budget.

Besides, she was injured on my behalf.
If I don’t step forward, who will be able to call me the company leader?
“I will accept the True Sword Duel.”
“Great spirit.”
He said he would let him go if he won, but if he wasted time, he ended up being caught by other pursuers.
If you have no choice but to do a duel, you have to finish it quickly.
With such determination, I faced the leader of the six charlatans.
“”Duh… !!””
Wow!
A card that flies out of nowhere and hits the captain’s head before he even shouts “Duel.”
In the end, the leader of the six knights died before the duel could even begin.
“Ugh… ?”
Everyone who was watching the duel turned their heads in the direction the card came from.
There was an elf there, scratching his head in embarrassment.
“Ho, did I perhaps disturb you?”
Artea is called the savior of the elves.
In the end, she too was a Canf.
