Thinking about the pre-war defense, where all I had to do was command safely from the rear, I realized things had just gotten a lot harder for me.

This did nothing but make me feel sad.

Still, to some extent, it felt like the situation had been cleared up. However, this did not mean that I was free to feel at ease. There were still many unstable factors. There was still the western wall that was scheduled to collapse in advance, as well as the existence of a raid monster that would probably be classified as legendary, at the very least.

Of course, remembering that time has passed since we first heard the howling, I had good reason to think that our troops were holding on well enough. The side where Kim Hyunsung had gone would regain its vitality with his help. Thus, our pre-war preparations would not be for nothing.

'However...'

It was always natural to think of the worst-case scenario. One would never know for sure when and how a war situation would change. Cha Hee-ra had changed unexpectedly, for one, as well as the baby monster's howling.

'Therefore, the more insurance, the better.'

To successfully solve this crisis, I had to keep thinking hard. With my limited skills, I had to rack my brains out to find more solutions.

As I mulled these over, the battle in front of me continued to rage.

Shaolin was strong enough, but I began to understand why she didn't seem confident about being able to kill Cha Hee-ra.

Sure, her legendary item Woold was certainly powerful, enough to sweep away small buildings with one whip. However, Cha Hee-ra had successfully managed to stay on guard right after the first surprise attack.

"Grrrrrr!"

Bang! Bang! Seeing Cha Hee-ra being able to dodge all incoming attacks didn't seem to be the work of someone who had a 90 agility stat. This only proved that she had indeed lost all reason, and all that was left to her was instinct. I could see all of this with my own eyes, and yet...

'It's sense.'

She had both sense and instinct. Cha Hee-ra couldn't have possibly reached that area if it weren't for all her training.

Just like Jung Hayan, she was also a kind of genius. Of course, it would be faster to find a player who did not have a special talent among the players who have reached that level, but in my view, Cha Hee-ra was clearly unwise.

Shaolin somehow managed to keep their former distance in an attempt to tie her up, but the beast would never follow the trainer, and so, the battle ensued.

'She's holding on well so far.'

Contrary to my opinion, however, I felt like Cha Hee-ra allowed Shaolin to keep that distance. Though the presence of magic could offset the weapon's shortcomings, the fact remained that it was still a whip. This meant that engaging in close combat would be very disadvantageous, especially if the opponent was Cha Hee-ra, someone who specialized in close combat.

When the beast rushed right in front of Shaolin with murderous intent, the other woman ended up dropping her whip.

After settling into a strange posture, she struck Cha Hee-ra's arm before striking her solar plexus using her elbow.

'Martial arts?'

Seeing Cha Hee-ra bounce off from the impact looked very much unrealistic to me.

'Fuck... what's with those moves?'

It would be natural to think that a person wielding a melee weapon would lack combat power. However, I was surprised to find that this was not the case at all.
