Hansoo frowned while looking at the thras.h.i.+ng Ouroboros.

Uduk. Udududuk.

As it thrashed around, the outer sh.e.l.l layer of the World Tree’s Pillar area was being broken off without stopping.

Kuuuu

Hansoo clenched his teeth as he saw the fragments dropping down like meteors.

‘I need to plan things out quickly.’

Hansoo stabilized his breath as he saw the Seven Departed Souls flying in from the distance.

The plan of pairing up to take down four of the nerves wouldn’t work anymore.

Since the body’s thras.h.i.+ng had gotten quite aggressive as well as the outer and inner scales were gathering up above the nerves like waves.

The eight of them needed to gather, block the bladelike scale waves from all around and at the same time combine their strength to burn down the nerve in one go and then continue to the next one.

Boooom!

Hansoo, who had thrown out Ekidrang’s Relic, the Seven Star Marbles, in all directions in order to create footholds for the Seven Departed Souls, started to crazily a.s.sault the scales charging towards them.

And the Seven Departed Souls flew in at a extreme speed around Hansoo.

Booom!

Miyamoto, who had used a skill to deflect the bladelike scale waves, checked over Hansoo who was crazily smas.h.i.+ng down at the scales in the distance.

Not only Hans...o...b..t the other Departed Souls were faithfully burning off the scales on the back of the Ouroboros and at the same time gnawing down on the nerves.

Catch their body on the marbles if the thras.h.i.+ng of the Ouroboros got intense and then go back down to attack, repeat process.

Miyamoto mumbled inwardly.

‘He’s amazing.’

They were throwing down attacks hundreds of meters apart from each other.

They had no leisure to look after each other since they were already busy enough dodging the storm like attacks of the Ouroboros.

But that guy was constantly resupplying the marbles and relics and helping them fight.

He was accomplis.h.i.+ng a feat which was impossible without having the movements of all Seven Departed Souls who were hundreds of meters apart and the whip-like Ouroboros within his head and dissecting it.

They had already destroyed two nerves and were in the process of destroying the third.

If they smash this down then only one will remain.

Somebody else watching this might think that it’s going well but Miyamoto’s expression wasn’t that good.

‘d.a.m.nit.’

Miyamoto’s plan was simple.

While Hansoo was busy fighting against the Ouroboros, use Sofía, who was the weakest and easiest member to control, to attack.

It was easier to catch Hansoo off guard since she had known him longer in comparison to the other Departed Souls.

Make him unable to battle, take the relics and then run away after opening the Dimensional Portal.

But Miyamoto’s plan wasn’t really working out very well.

‘Why are there no open spots being created?’

He knew that Hansoo had his guard up against him

And because of this Miyamoto was attacking the nerve from as far away as possible from Hansoo.

So Hansoo would feel at ease.

At a distance where Hansoo wouldn’t feel threatened even if he were to launch a sneak attack.

It wasn’t that hard since the nerve itself was so big.

But Hansoo was constantly checking on Sofía and the other Six Departed Souls and moving around.

An open spot wasn’t being created despite him smas.h.i.+ng apart the giant scales and utilizing a huge amount of energy.

Miyamoto clenched his teeth.

At this rate they’ll be able to kill the Ouroboros and he’ll lose the chance to obtain the relic.

Of course somebody could ask something like this.

<wouldn>But Miyamoto knew.</wouldn>

<wouldn>That the army of the fifth calamity <wasp>, located at the top side of the Pillar, existed.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>Which meant that this wasn’t the end.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>‘That b.a.s.t.a.r.d would probably want to kill that thing too.’</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>And he felt a huge amount of greed towards those relics.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>A production of a small sun-like amount of mana.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>He would be able to act like a king in the next stage with those things.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>‘If there aren’t chances… I just need to make them.’</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>He was strangely keeping an eye on Sofía more.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>He didn’t know whether it was love, interest or just curiosity.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>They hadn’t seen each other long enough for such things to bud.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>‘Well. She is a bit pretty.’</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>It didn’t matter which one of those above things it was.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>The important part was that he was keeping an eye on it.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>That was enough.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>And according to the intel Jukma gave him, he took care of people that he fought with.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>Miyamoto started to focus on the soul fragment.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>Sofía caught her breath on top of the floating marbles and looked at Hansoo fighting in the distance.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>‘He’s strangely paying more attention to me.’</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>His actions proved it even without words.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>She could tell just from the precise controls of the marbles he had given to her.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>That he was paying more attention to her.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>At first her pride plummeted because she had thought that he was doing this because she was weaker than the other six but after observing for a while it seems like that wasn’t the case.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>Since the movements of the marbles told her that he had complete trust of her.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>‘It feels weird.’</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>Sofía, who had making a confused expression, shook off her thoughts and then started to focus.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>Since she could just ask things she was curious about after.</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>Sway</wasp></wouldn>

<wouldn><wasp>Sofía, who was focusing in order to use her skill
