The largest city in southern Rigel, Serendia. Previously, five divisions were used to secure the marching route, but now a preemptive strike is being carried out to eliminate the monsters in the area that could be called the core of the typhoon. The five Lord Vampires, the Holy Knights of the Sacred Order, the wizards of the Vampire Council, and powerful demons, including Olivia, Heriot, Liana, Airi, and others, were all present. The city of Serendia is similar in shape to the Yellow Emperor, with a large river dividing it into north and south. However, the city is now surrounded by monsters. The number and strength of the monsters are incomparable to before. The gate crisis has intensified, and the monsters seem to be guarding the warp gates. It is fortunate that the boss monsters are not produced in large numbers. However, if the nearby monsters are pushed back, they will start pouring out monsters at an incredible speed. It is impossible to eliminate all of these enormous monsters that seem to number in the tens of thousands. The world is a black hell. They must face this and it will only become more numerous and dangerous. Even those who are not human and those who are accustomed to slaughter were tense when they saw this hell. "They've detected us." Even though we are on the outskirts of the highlands, we are in a place where Serendia is visible. Therefore, it is natural that there are also hordes of monsters around us, and monsters that can detect and recognize us even with the camouflage. "Let's start." At my command, the Lord Vampires and the clan's wizards began to memorize spells. Liana, who had been preparing for a long time, was also concentrating her abilities. When a large army is engaged in a full-scale battle, Liana's abilities cannot be used aggressively, or everyone will be swept away. Once again. A huge tornado occurs in the far horizon, sweeping away the monsters. "A wave of monsters rushes towards us. 'Everyone, battle stance!' Olivia shouts, holding the dark magic Ti Amata. Although their numbers are small, Olivia can summon an army of the dead. The Death Knights, who respond to the holy power of Kier used by Olivia and the dark magic Ti Amata, begin to crawl out of the ground. Even one Death Knight was enough to easily overpower me, who was familiar with magic enhancement. 'Death, guide us.' Not only Olivia, but also the holy knights of the Sacred Order begin to enhance their bodies, as well as the bodies of the Death Knights summoned by Olivia. There is no strategy or tactics against the monsters. But the best strategy and tactics have always been more troops and a stronger army than the enemy. Just be numerous and strong. Overwhelmingly numerous monsters begin to charge towards us. While the wizards cast large-scale magic together and Liana causes weather anomalies, the priests and Death Knights of the Sacred Order, including Olivia Ranche, protect them. That's not all. 'Today, too, please take care of me, Ugren.' A priest riding on the shoulders of an ogre over five meters tall begins to recite sacred magic, and the ogre's body glows. The thick tendons of the ogre, thicker than human fingers, begin to flicker and rise. Humans, vampires, and demons. The two Lycanthropes also form a formation. 'For our great ancestors and the Demon King!' 'Grrrr!' The orcs also had blue ears swaying all over their bodies. They followed Galarch after Nana Charlotte. Galarch seemed to dislike them, but he had lived too long to have a racial identity. Undead, demons, and humans. An army of only about a hundred enemies. The swarm of monsters and the strangest army in the world collide. The holy light is difficult to see on the giant iron rod wielded by the ogre. The head of the giant monster rushing towards the ogre explodes, and the ogre roars. 'Grrrrrrrrrrr!' 'Ahh! My ears are ringing!' The wave of monsters covers us, and the Death Knights, Olivia, and demons protect the wizards and Liana from the wave of monsters. While causing weather anomalies, Liana was exploding the monsters pouring down with lightning storms from the sky. We are holding on. We are definitely holding on. However, when the monsters that can sense magic and see through it attack us first, even the monsters that cannot do so soon realize our presence and start pushing in. It was a sight that made us tremble just by looking at it, as if the waves were rippling towards us." "When we projected magic towards the incoming monsters, flames erupted on the ground and engulfed a vast area. Small and medium-sized monsters who couldn't withstand the flames or were not resistant to them started to die as they broke through the sea of fire. Nevertheless, the surviving monsters pushed forward and were crushed by Olivia and the Death Knights. The monsters' screams, the ogres' roars, and the Lycanthrope's howls shook the ground. Flying monsters in the sky also recognized us and rushed towards us like arrows. Herriot's entire body boiled with blue magic lines, and space began to warp around a certain point in the sky. Dozens of strange refractions of light, as if the world was warping, appeared. Then, a massive shockwave occurred, shaking not only the air but also the ground. The wings of the flying monsters that were flying towards us were torn apart, and their bodies exploded. The shockwave from the sky tore apart or caused hundreds of monsters to crash towards us. Our full force was not enough, even if we were a hundred times stronger. It was too many. Liana's third tornado began to tear the ground apart. Even though it was far away, we could feel the gusts of wind tearing the ground apart. Even in this distant place, the pressure was so strong that trees were uprooted and monsters screamed in agony. With flames, lightning, and close-range attacks, the Death Knights and demons crushed the enemies. Does this make sense? Is it reasonable for so many monsters to appear and keep appearing unless we destroy the warp gate? I feel a vague sense of despair at the absurdity I created. Even if we kill them, they keep coming back. The warp gate that was beneficial to humans has become the most dangerous disaster for them. This tragedy, or rather absurdity, that I created with my shallow and inadequate thoughts makes me realize how shallow of a human I was. In the vague sight of waves of creatures covering us, I am still looking for salvation. I know this tragedy will end someday, but how many people have to die? How many people will be sacrificed? Who will die and who will survive? The lightning-spewing monster turned one Death Knight into ashes, and Olivia rode on the monster's foot and climbed up, inserting the demonic sword Tiamat as if it were a circus act. "Die, answer the call of power." Olivia whispered like a curse. The black light that shot out of the demonic sword dug into the monster's brain. Swoosh!" Translation: The lightning-spewing monster suddenly turns its head and starts unleashing lightning bolts towards the incoming monsters.

Kwarrurung!

The lightning that burned the Death Knight now begins to burn and kill the monsters.

As Olivia grips Tiamat, the darkness pouring out of Tiamat embeds itself in the bodies of countless dead monsters.

Monsters with severed necks and torn limbs are resurrected by the power of the gods and begin to run towards the monsters, biting, tearing, and ripping them apart.

The power of death grows stronger as enemies die and more corpses pile up.

The monsters that once covered us like a wave now charge towards the monsters as an undead wave.

Despair covers despair.

Olivia Lanche, who is wrapped in the power of the gods, is almost dominating this battlefield.

When dead monsters rise and start pushing towards our side, the situation is reversed.

Instead of protecting the wizards from the monsters, we start pushing the monster horde.

The power to revive the dead, including necromancy.

Anna de Gerna, a B-class, also participates in the battle in this way.

But Olivia manifests this power not through magic, but through the power of the gods.

The scale and effect were overwhelming.

But even so, we are just a small breakwater trying to stop the flood.

As our battle continues, the monster horde of Serandia will focus on this small disturbance one by one, and other monsters will come after us as the scale of our fight grows.

As the scale of the fight grows, we will face our limits.

A hundred people are no match for tens of thousands in a war. Even if they have the power of a thousand, the enemy is still only tens of thousands, and they will continue to replenish.

But we did not come here for a suicide mission.

We are buying time.

Time for Riana to summon Tornado.

And.

Wooooong!

Five archmages.

And the vampires of the Vampire Council will have time to complete their magic.

Kurrurung!

The storm of magic shook the ground as if it would cause an earthquake.

Never seen before.

We do not know what will happen when magic of this level and power is unleashed.

When Arcritch and Luchen manifested, we could see countless shooting stars pouring out of the void where the sky was torn apart.

And now.

The magic created by the five ancient beings and the wizards they raised.

Summoning a meteor shower.

As if the fist of the gods struck the mirror called the sky.

The shattered blue sky with the constellations and galaxies of the void projected onto it.

And from there, beams of light begin to fall.

Even in the midst of a life-and-death battle, it was a surreal sight that we could only stare at for a moment.

Thousands of beams of light starting from the faraway sky. Translation:

The white flames that spew from the lightning monster's head burn brightly even in broad daylight, as they fall towards the ground. Although they appear slow, hundreds of beams of light are actually falling towards the ground at a speed faster than sound, continuously dropping from the void's rift. The massive meteor shower covers the monster-infested hell with a natural disaster. One meteor strikes the distant horizon, causing a bright flash and explosion that covers the area. The meteor shower continues, and the monsters near Serandia are evaporated by the falling meteors. However, not all monsters are wiped out, and they continue to pour out of the warp gate. The protagonist and their companion, Heriot, head towards the warp gate to destroy it themselves. When the allied forces arrive, the number of monsters will have increased significantly, but they must still be eliminated. "At this very moment, the number of monsters is decreasing drastically. The elite few must act now. We do not know how much we can do, but we will destroy and escape as much as we can. Only two people, me and Heriot, will enter the fray. -Kwarrurrrng! The storm of lightning summoned by Liana opened the way ahead of us towards Serandia."
