The defensive periainst the Red Moon had been completed, near the location where Sae-Jin was

He found this out via thefroht?’

He became worried about the influence of the Red Moon, all of a sudden He figured that depending on which one had a higher degree of influence - his Skills or the Red Moon - the Orcs would act accordingly However, this Red Moon was a wide-scale calao completely wild Could these Orcs possibly withstand such disaster?

"…Bring the re Orcs to me"

The powerful baritone voice of Kim Sae-Jin the Orc Great Warrior spread around like a wave

And then, with the exception of four agile Orcs that were sent out to the Geue all proathered where he was

"Ev’ryburdy iss heer, oh, Great War-ier"

"………"

The Orc in charge spoke Sae-Jin’s forehead creased just a little He was kind of regretting giving this guy the Passive ‘Vocal Cord Reconstruction’ now He only did it to make communication a bit easier, but seriously, the coued pronunciation of words was creeping the hell out of hian inscribing Magic Tattoos on the Orcs, one at a tiredient used was his own blood; the effect iic’, to endure the influence of the Red Moon

The Goblin’s Craftsmanship skill was now at B+, and it only took just over a le Orc In total, 30 h to tattoo all the Orcs present

After quickly finishing up the tattooing process, he shooed the of ‘Mana Body’ in order to increase its Proficiency Level

The usage of this Mana Body was truly endless, but unfortunately, it could only be used for 15it was not really all that practical to use in the real battle On top of that, during the Human Form, that time becaer than that, he would go light-headed and promptly pass out

‘Rise into the air’

So, Sae-Jin was thinking of increasing the duration to 15up the Proficiency

However, there wasn’t enough time to raise his Proficiency after all

All of a sudden, a red light began descending down on the world

A heavy fog of war circulated on the defensive perihts and Wizards

The military had already retreated far behind the frontlines since they would only become a burden had they stayed The only people left here and waiting, were the Knights and Wizards; but even many of thereat war

This wasn’t the first Red Moon to appear in the history - but this one would certainly be farthe previous Red Moons, the weak Monsters appeared first, then gradually, to stronger ones - but now, there was no distinction between the Monsters anyreat land upheaval that

pretty much made the Monster field unsafe? Yeah, that’s why)

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they h Tiered Monsters such as Basilisks, Manticores, or even Wyverns on the first day

Kim Yu-Rin could definitely sympathise with their worries and fears After all, even her own heart was beating in an unsettled ?"

Even still, she tried to cal, as just as tense as the other Knights

"Eh? Ah, yes, I’’s neck, exposed by her hair tied upwards, a faint outline of a pretty tattoo could be seen Kiic Tattoo of Ki the members of his Society, but what could they do about it? He could do as he liked, after all

"The Society Chair, ‘don’t die out there’"

Realising that Ki’s face reddened slightly, maybe out of pride or fros of young love

"So that’s how it is Then, you should ht?"

"Yep Of course"

As the two of them smiled at each other…

Out of the blue, there was a commotion by the defensive perimeter

They quickly looked up at the sky

A bloody colour was spreading on the previously snohite fullmurmured, Kim Yu-Rin somberly nodded her head

&8211; Kiiiieeeeeck!!!

It only took an instant for the darkness blocking their view to change to crimson colour

The Monsters’ maddened screams filled the mountainside The roars of the Monsters ruh into the sky and touching the Red Moon, causing the athered defenders to plu noises

Incredible tremor akin to earthquake rushed towards them

"Get ready for combat!!"

Out from the communication crystal, a resolute shout of a man came out It was the voice of Kim Hyun-Seok, Yu-Rin’s father She unsheathed her sword at the inco order

And fro body

Its eyes blood-red, its jaw lined with teeth that were shaped like pincers and the nuround below, the ‘Giant Centipede’ approached the location of the defenders

Froh Tier Monster had appeared Its h to scare the living daylights out of solance to her side Clearly scared, Yu Sae-Jung’s hands gripping the sas treirl’s hand

"…Yes"

Yu Sae-Jung looked at her and nodded

Basilisks, Giant Centipedes, Wyverns, Griffins, Flesh Goleh ranked Monsters, many of them incredibly rare and hard to encounter even once in one’s lifetime, poured in like tsuna Red Moon’s first day the Knights had to face, these Monsters were sihts who ran aere quite a few in number It was par for the course, really - as they were lower ranked and just too young to have experienced such absurd situations before

SFX of so down in tears after losing their lie in this battle

But regardless, Ki her sword

The blue sword aura became the storm winds of Mana and swept away countless Monsters And froap between the walls of Monsters she just created, Yu-Rin spotted a Lich casting , the very first target Knights aimed to kill was the enemy spellcaster As soon as she spotted the Monster, she held the sword in reverse grip and stabbed the earth with it

It was the attack containing her Trait, ‘Desideratue Mana blade for and sank into the surface of the ground The Lich, now its body divided in half, became dust particles when the belated secondary explosion took place

And so, she repeatedly fought her desperate battles, over and over again

However, the overall status of the battle was still not good; the defensive line was about to collapse It was a desperately bad situation No matter what, the frontline hts battling an Ogre over yonder, one of the sword aura slicing the Monster’s wrist Aer days for sorasped her sword tightly

&8212;&8212;-!!!

Right then - froround And shortly afterwards, the powerful roar shattered the sky above

That was definitely not from a human, for sure

SFX for thunderous footsteps

The footsteps began to close in
