"Qwy! Qwy!"

She scanned through the entire battlefield and first went to Reddy who was helping the battle units from the back as a support unit, infusing different potions into them directly with her special skill.

She could control the potions that she created. When she used them like this, they took on different forms. The red snake that came out of the potion when she fought the hunting dogs of Khalasi was also a result of this skill.

It was a powerful skill if utilised correctly, and she knew how to use it very well.

"Qwy? What are you doing here?"

Reddy was busy giving heals and buffs to all the people across the battlefield when she saw Qwy stopping before her, her eyes not looking good in the slightest.

{ "Reddy." }

She was carrying a transmission device on her so, right as she stopped before her, Aria spoke up, her voice clearly audible to everyone present around Reddy.

"Aria? Is that you? What the hell are you doing?! You should be resting right now…!"

She had given the people looking after her clear instructions to not let her get away from their sight. She knew how stubborn Aria was so she even used a sedative to put her down, and yet she was here right now.

{ "Stop right now. Stop for a minute and listen to me." }

Aria knew there would be this kind of reaction so she didn't give Reddy any time to stop or yell at her. She simply started saying what she was here for.

{ "Reddy, listen closely. That thing is going to get corrupted real soon. We have to change plans. We don't have too long." }

Her voice was calm despite the dangerous message she was delivering.

{ "We have to go all in while we still have the chance. If we wait any longer, we will face severe consequences." }

"What? Hey! What do you mean–!"

{ "Just listen to me and call out the support units. I'll tell the others to change their positions as well." }

The plan was to deal with the monster slowly after the sanctuary was deployed. The more careful they were, the less damage to their battle units.

There had not been any casualties until now but a few people were heavily injured since the battle began.

The number of people that were actively engaged in the battle had decreased significantly as well. But, there were still more than enough people to deal a decisive blow to the dying being.

Instead of leaving her up to her suffering, it would be better to put her to rest. We will have to get messy in the process, but it will not be as bad as it might be if the dungeon succeeds in corrupting her.

{ "Captain Lux!" }

Qwy flew away from Reddy's team and reached in the middle of the battlefield where the gray wolf of the association was.

The captain was stunned at first, but Aria didn't give him any time either.

{ "Captain Lux, the Naga is going to fall into a state of corruption soon. We have to finish it off right now." }

The association captain had received orders to follow her lead so he did not ask her any questions when he heard these words.

He already had a strange feeling that something was going terribly wrong right now.

"I understand. Please guide us, Miss Aria."

He was supposed to be the one representing the association, but everyone knew who the person calling the shots here was already.

{ "Good." }

Aria reached the others one by one, telling them about the orders from the support unit's observation, and the orders from the association's assault team captain.

She did not tell them that she was the one that wanted them to move this way, using clever wording to make things easier for everyone.

The words of the highest authority were enough for the others to understand the situation so, the lady with the red whip as well as Captain Lux prepared their respective <S> rank skills.

{ "Lady Jasmine. The creature–." }

"You!! Miss Aria! Thank God!" When Aria reached the very back of the lines where only a single battle healer was kneeling, maintaining the holy sanctuary gracing them from the sky, the response she received from her stopped Aria in her tracks.

"Miss Aria! You must tell everyone else! The creature! The Naga is showing signs of corruption! There's negative power surging within it!"

The battle priest had somehow sensed the negative power that the others could not feel. Aria could only know about it because she had guest privileges, but this person was on a completely different level to have that kind of perception.

{ "I understand! I will make it quick! Please maintain the sanctuary for as long as you can!" }

Aria had already told the others what they needed to do, and now she had the perfect candidate to place the blame on.

She did not hesitate after that. In the name of the one holding down the sanctuary, she made everyone move in a way that cleared the path for two other <S> rank skill holders.

{ "Captain Lux!" }

The <S> rank skills were powers beyond ordinary skills or magic. They were powers that could change the tides in battles exactly like this one.

-Ooooooooooooooooong!

Captain Lux possessed the ice attribute <S> rank skill {Ice lance}.

This skill was also the reason the branch manager had assigned him the role of the association representative in this battle.

"Ptsssssss…!"

When the skill manifested itself, ice crystals first formed in the air above the captain.

The crystals gathered in a storm and formed an ice lance so big it was as big as the head of the behemoth before them.

"Arghhhhhhhhhh!"

When the skull manifestation finished, the captain avoided the defensive blanket that the Naga placed around itself.

He moved the position of the lance and found an opening with the help of a strange feeling he could feel within his heart.

He would not know of Qwy's help at that moment, but that little help was enough for a decisive blow.

-Zuuuuuuuuuu!

-Zup!

The enormous ice lance was shot at the right time, at the right place, and it landed right on the back of the creature's head.

"PTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS…!"

For the first time since the beginning of the battle, green blood, with clear darkness, rained down on the battlefield.

{ "Now, Mrs.Ode!" }

But that wasn't the only attack.

Right when the ice lance pierced through the creature's body, a wall of fire manifested around the creature.

-Oooooooooooooooooooooong!

The heat within the firewall concentrated and moved at the beat of the red whip swung by the rough looking lady.

Her special <S> rank skill was called {Wheel of fire}. The skill manifested with Aura as the base energy, using the chaotic power as the base.

"Ptsssssssss!!!"

The creature could feel another threat, but the lance dug into its body made the movement far too slow.

-Zaaaaaaaaaa.

The concentrated flames gathered and became a thin ring so hot it could cut even the walls of this dungeon.

They were like the laser beams from extraterrestrial swords.

The power was great.

And the target was equally great.

"PTSSSSSSS…!"

It sensed death, so it moved its body as quickly as it could, avoiding the shrinking ring of fire as best as it could.

{ "All units! Attack!!!" }

The second attack could only slice the lower tail part of the creature as one fourth of its body fell to the ground, lifeless.

The darkness that got in contact with the raining darkness evaporated instantly, and the creature screamed its soul out, filling the entire area in a sudden burst of bloodthirst.

"Can we add more to this, Rose?"

[ "An appropriate attack to deal another decisive blow can be used with a strengthened {Spike trap}. Do you want to consume 15 CU for it?" ]

Aria had the chance to finish this battle at that moment.

[Ding!]

But even if she had the will to do so, the window that opened before her this time would not allow her to do so.

[The dungeon has presented the second trial to the guest architect.]

The damn dungeon wasn't going to finish things that easily.

The rich data from this entire ordeal was just too good to pass on…
