“My dongsaeng called Reina as well. Is it only Mascherano who isn’t here?” Gang Junggu greeted Reina.
Reina explained the reason for Mascherano’s absence: “Mascherano probably won’t come. He isn’t connected right now. But I think everyone else is here.”
Gang Junggu nodded in understanding.
“Then go quickly. There must be a reason for this hasty call,” Liu Shei urged the group.
He was excited about the quest as this was his first large-scale quest in the East Continent.
“Yes, it sounded urgent. We should go.” Gang Junggu took all the members with him, including Kim Seokjung.
Just then, a man appeared and stopped them from entering the interior of the Samsungga. In response to his gesture, the 70 players stopped at the entrance of the Samsungga. The man was Bakar, and he had been waiting for them.
“I have been waiting for you. Please come quickly.” The moment Bakar finished speaking, he turned around and started running quickly at quite a fast speed.
“Apart from the minimum number of people to protect the priests and magicians, the rest will follow the NPC. Whisper the location,” Liu Shei issued an order. It was a neat order worthy of the leader of a large guild. After all, it was impossible for magicians and priests to keep pace with Bakar’s running speed. The difference in movement speed was extreme. This meant the only ones who could chase Bakar were the melee classes.
“I will remain and protect them. Hyung-nim, please handle it. Understood?” Gang Junggu told Kim Seokjung.
Gang Junggu remained while Liu Shei, Reina, and Kim Seokjung started running with the melee players. No words were heard. Only these two noises—the light sounds of breathing and feet against the ground—filled the place. The players ran for a long time before a huge wall appeared in front of them.
Finally, Bakar’s speed slowed down. The moment he stopped, Bakar turned and looked back. He said, “No one knows what is happening in there. I don’t know either. I was just ordered to bring you over. Be prepared with your weapons.”
Then Bakar pulled out the sword hanging from his waist. Acting in accordance with Bakar’s words, Kim Seokjung took out a gauntlet from his inventory and put it on while Reina touched the handle of her sword.
“There is no time to talk, so let’s go in quickly. It might be an urgent situation,” Liu Shei muttered.
Hearing that, Bakar turned back around with a bloodthirsty smile before crossing over the high walls. The other players, including Kim Seokjung, followed.
‘What type of battle happened here?’ They wondered.
“What is this...?!”
“Is that a person…?!”
The sight unfolding before their eyes consisted of the splattering of blood and the cutting of flesh. There were two people fighting with blood all over their bodies. One person was particularly noticeable. It was a man wearing a child’s mask. There were several pools of blood in the vicinity of that man. He seemed to fight tirelessly as he kept releasing pure energy.
Just then, red energy emerged from the man’s body and bound the bodies of the surrounding fighters. Simultaneously, a dark light flashed, and a huge blade of pure energy struck the warriors who had stopped momentarily. They had no choice but to give up their heads, and the dozens of heads soon flew through the air.
“Leader! I’m here!” Bakar threw himself into the fray without hesitation.
Floating high in the sky, Bakar fired a strong pure energy at those who surrounded the two people. The blue pure energy struck the ground, and Bakar squeezed through the momentary gap to stand by Chen Long’s side.
Bakar asked, “Are you okay? It has been a long time since I’ve seen you like this.”
Hearing Bakar’s words, Chen Long laughed weakly before answering: “I could’ve died if you came a bit later. In addition, he is a completely crazy guy. He doesn’t get tired at all. He has been like that from the beginning until now.”
Bakar’s gaze shifted to Hyeonu. It was surprising that the pure energy didn’t disappear from Hyeonu’s sword for even a single moment.
“I think it would be good to fall back and take a break for a while. We will just be a nuisance if we stay here, Leader.” Bakar pulled at Chen Long’s arm.
Chen Long nodded, but he didn’t move. No, he couldn’t bear to move.
“I started it... I have to see it through to the end...” Chen Long stated. He felt responsible for what he had done.
“Slowly enter on the other side of Alley Leader!” Someone called out.
Right then, dozens of people joined the battlefield and used various skills simultaneously. Hundreds of pure energies swept through the battlefield.
“Let’s get out in this gap.” Bakar forcefully pulled at Chen Long who was as stiff as a stone statue.

“Hyung-nim, you’re here?” Hyeonu asked as he approached Kim Seokjung’s side.
“Stick over there. Your appearance is quite a sight. Maybe it is because of the blood on your face...” Kim Seokjung reached out to Hyeonu with a frightened expression.
“Still, you came very quickly. The NPCs haven’t arrived yet. I guess something happened outside?”
“The outside is worth seeing, worth seeing. There are bodies all over the place. That’s why I came quickly. How are you?” Kim Seokjung asked concernedly.
Hyeonu shook his head at Kim Seokjung’s worry. After all, he felt fine. In fact, he was energized by his rising experience and proficiency.
“Don’t you know me? I’m fine fighting for a long time. In addition, I can summon Tang-E now,” Hyeonu said.
Due to Chen Long’s presence, Hyeonu couldn’t summon Tang-E earlier and fought using only the skills and buffs that he had. It was unexpectedly restricting. However, in this battle, the story was different. No one would be able to tell whose pet Tang-E was, so Hyeonu could summon Tang-E comfortably to fight.
