<h4>Chapter 369: Subjugation of Executives (6)</h4>


    The time Asil gave was not that long, but it was enough to decide the situation of the war.


    Time for those who are injured to quickly drink a potion, and those who have time to spare can prepare for the most powerful blow.


    It goes without saying how important that short time is during a battle where even a second is precious.


    In return, Asil''s physical condition was serious.


    Immediately after he copsed, his pulse and breathing slowed down and his body temperature began to drop in a short period of time.


    He quickly took the best potion he had, put it in his mouth, and walked away from Esq.


    When he could barely walk a few steps.


    – Quang! Creep, boom! Kwazizik!!


    A huge amount of advanced magic poured towards Esq.


    If this attack fails anyway, there is no chance of winning with half the number of people.


    Both wizards and warriors put all their stamina and magic into this attack.


    I was afraid that it would have an impact on the fallen Asil, so I hugged him and blocked him with a shield, but the shock wave made my body tremble.


    – Kugugung...


    The cave shook like crazy, as if an earthquake had urred. It looks like it might copse at any moment...


    – h h, h h.


    No, the floor was really cracking!


    "The floor!!"


    As soon as I saw the gold getting bigger, I screamed.


    I had doubts whether it would be delivered properly as my ears were deafened by the explosion of magic, but fortunately it seemed to have been delivered safely.


    Even now, beyond the shing magic, I can see each toon leader yelling something.


    – h h h!!!


    The floor copsed with the final blow.


    For a moment, it felt like gravity disappeared...


    Boom!


    "Ugh!"


    A heavy shock pierced my body starting from my hips.


    Fortunately, it didn''t seem like any bones were broken because it was strengthened with magical power.


    "Ugh, ugh..."


    "Ah... Potion, potion..."


    "Ahh! "My legs!"


    However, among the mercenaries who consumed all their magical power in the previous attack, there was also one who suffered an unfortunate ident.


    It was a pity, but there was no time to worry about it now.


    "What about SQ? What happened to EQ?!"


    A mercenary spoke for all of us.


    Free fall after receiving enough attack.


    I think this is something to look forward to, right?


    Everyone''s eyes turned to the spot where EQ fell.


    As the cloud of dust cleared.


    "Hey, I... !"


    There was a miserable-looking Eskew crawling on the floor.


    The fact that he was still alive was scary in itself, but he looked like he was on the verge of death.


    "I will definitely not kill you guys gracefully!!"


    The sight of him throwing away the bravado he had maintained and shouting uglyly was almostughable.


    Esq, who was getting angry, felt something and looked down at the floor. I could see a line drawn between the rock blocks that were the ceiling of this ce.


    Line?


    When Eskew saw that, he suddenlyughed out loud.


    "Yes, yes! What you''ve been looking for is right around the corner! After all, I am not meant to die in a ce like this!"


    There is something nned.


    He tried to stop it, but Esq was quick to raise his magic power.


    Light leaked through a gap in the rock on the floor.


    This was a magic circle.


    "Stop it now! No, you don''t have to stop it, so just kill it!"


    E gave urgent instructions, but everyone''s magic power was so low that they could not even block the impact of the fall.


    No, there was only one exception.


    It''s me.


    I did not participate in thest attack to protect Asil, so I had a lot of magical power left.


    I quickly channeled magic into my entire body and ran towards Esq.


    Eskew, who wasughing at the mercenaries who couldn''t even move, shouted in shock when he saw me rushing over the rock.


    "What are you! No. Do note! "I mean, don''te close to me!!"


    However, he only said so and did not offer any resistance. It was clear that EQ was pushed to its limits.


    At best, it easily breaks through the weak resistance of swinging an arm and remains like that.


    Puuk.


    "That... Well..."


    EQ was shouting with such force that it made the cave tremble, but at the end, all that was said was the sound of blood boiling.


    Whisk.


    When the sword that pierced Eskew''s neck was pulled back, the corpse that was Eskew fell down.


    It was a light sound for the final words of a notorious Demon King Army official.


    "... "Have you done it?"


    One of the mercenaries behind him chanted a magic spell, but he never got up again and Phase 2 started.


    I even checked it through the ''status window'' just in case.


    Dead.


    The fight is over.


    "Ha..."


    A sigh and a falling sound were heard.


    Whether they were sitting down or lying down, everyone rxed their bodies.


    The mercenaries who had been hypnotized by Esq began to wake up one by one.


    "Ugh, my head feels like it''s going to explode."


    "My hand! "Ahh!"


    Some peopleined that the back of their head hurt after hitting them to knock them out, and some people ran around looking for their severed hands.


    There were a few hands lost in the falling barrel. I just hope I didn''t get crushed by a rock.


    If it has been crushed under a rock and has be a sight that is difficult to see, no matter how much you take it to the temple, you will not be able to attach it.


    I also sat down on a nearby rock to rest...


    "Soira! Come out of there!"


    Flora shouted urgently.


    "Huh? Why?"


    Even though I had doubts, my body steadily got up from the rock to follow Flora''s words.


    When a colleague shouts urgently in a dangerous ce, it ismon sense to move first, even if you don''t understand the meaning.


    I scraped the magic power that was slowly showing its way down to the floor and walked away from the corpse.


    But how far should we go?


    I don''t even know why we have to be so distant in the first ce. I think I''m forgetting something...


    – Boom.


    "Ouch!"


    I bumped into something. Obviously there was nothing?


    Bean. Beans.


    When I punched the air, I was blocked as if there was an invisible barrier.


    Esq is dead. I''ve checked it several times, so it''s definitely true.


    Then what about this...


    "Floor! The floor!"


    After hearing Flora''s words, I looked down at the floor and saw a line drawn on the floor that was obscured by rocks.


    Right. EQ was trying to activate some kind of magic circle.


    As a test, I touched the invisible wall in the air, and it matched exactly with the position of the line drawn on the floor.


    "This... It''s a space movement magic circle."


    Justitia, who had already approached, looked down at the magic circle with a serious expression and said. A was busy receiving reports of the damage from behind.


    "A magic circle of space movement of this size... Were they trying to bring in an army? Fortunately, a few strokes were erased when the ceiling copsed, so if this continues, it will only be a one-time use."


    The military. If this ce, which is not far from the front line, and the military facilities located far behind the Demon King''s territory were connected, it would have posed a great threat to the front line.


    But now it''s more than that.


    "Then what is this?"


    I asked while punching the empty space, unable to go any further.


    "Ah. That is..."


    Justitia''s face darkened.


    "When the space movement magic circle is activated, you can only go in from the outside, and you cannot go out from the inside..."


    "Well, then..."


    I have to get into a magic circle like this without even knowing where it leads?


    No, if you listen to what I said, there was a high probability that it would be transmitted near a ce important to the Demon King''s army.


    What should I do?


    Moreover, the area of ??the circle was quiterge, and Asil, who had still fallen and could note to his senses, was included in it.


    If Asil had been awake, he might have been able to open the door to the spirit world even for a moment and avoid the moment the magic circle was activated like an invincible control.


    He was an outsider.


    "That... I''m so sorry. In my abilities..."


    "I can''t help it."


    Why would there be a magic circle exactly where the floor copsed?


    No. Thinking back on what Eskew said, it seemed like he had been digging the ground to create a cave to find this magic circle in the first ce.


    As for why I tried to find this magic circle, now I can only guess.


    "Unni Justi. Why... Ah."


    E, who came over after finishing cleaning up, saw the magic circle and her face hardened.


    It seems that there really is no answer.


    "Are you okay. Are you okay? Asil will wake up soon as he recovers. You don''t die right away, right? "Don''t worry, we are strong."


    "..."


    I am indeed. I am the one being blown away to an unknown ce, but on the contrary, I am providingfort.


    At least this. Flora said as E and Justitia were handing over the remaining potions.


    "... "Sister."


    "Huh?"


    Flora''s expression showed determination.


    "I wille back."


    "What? What is that... Flora. "You?"


    Flora took a step forward and entered the magic circle.


    She separated from her family, whom she had met so hard, and stepped into a vague future where she had no idea what was ahead of her.


    However, the difference from when she broke up before is that this time, she made her own choice.


    "Flora. You really..."


    "Hehe."


    She had no intention of dragging Flora into unnecessary danger. If she had been vited enough, she might have thought about it once or twice, but this was because her life was at stake.


    However, even if she said it in a reprimanding way, it had already been done.


    I just stroked Flora''s head once.


    She spoke to A while stroking her pink hair, which she no longer had to hide.


    "Ah. That... Don''t worry too much. As I said before, we are truly strong. I''m waiting for you to get out safely wherever it''s being sent."


    "Whoa... I am indeed. "I don''t know when my youngest, who was always obedient to me, grew up like this."


    "Children grow up secretly."


    "Is that also true? Hehe. Okay. It can''t be helped that it''s already happened like this. Do you have to bring him back safely? "If you even hurt me, I won''t forgive you."


    "Please take a look at my wounds. "It''s not like I''m getting married."


    Is this what it feels like to take someone else''s daughter?


    These days is a word that is rarely used, but it was quite refreshing.


    Meanwhile, the light of the magic circle grew stronger. It meant that it would be activated soon.


    Flora smiled and said hello for thest time.


    "Then I''lle back! See youter!"


    It was the exact opposite of the old farewell where I cried and couldn''t even say goodbye properly.


    Smiling, looking at your face, promising the future.


    And finally, the light of the magic circle swallowed us.
