The situation quickly fell into chaos.

Aileen and her party weren't intending on fighting. At first, they just wanted to register themselves on the crystal stele's checkpoint. If the mysterious people surrounding the crystal stele refused to let them, she planned to try to persuade them before using brute force.

However, the crystal stele wasn't a checkpoint.

===

[Quest discovered!]

[Summary – you discovered a group of people trying to steal an ownerless crystal stele.]

[Goal – steal the crystal stele from that group.]

[Reward – Special Skill Acquisition Book – Lv.3 Secret March, Lv.5 Crystal Stele]

===

A quest suddenly started, and the opposing group labeled her as an enemy.

Aileen was slightly taken aback. A giant from the opposing group smiled at her. Aileen was familiar with him just as he was familiar with her.

"...You."

The moment she muttered that one word, the fight began. The giant man took off his robe and shot forward like the wind. He was clearly asking for a fight. However, Aileen stopped his charge with a single word.

"Stop."

Just one word froze the man who arrived in front of her. His feet dug into the ground as he tried to resist the power of Spirit Speech.

However, Cheok Jungyeong was still stopped.

And that was the start of the true fight.

Another man shot up from behind Cheok Jungyeong's large body. It was a slim man holding a spear.

"...I'll be your opponent!"

Shin Jonghak stopped the man with his own spear. Koong—! A heavy pressure fell on his spear upon contact. However, the pressure was still manageable.

"Hold on just a bit."

From behind, long-ranged reinforcement arrived. Yi Yongha's hellfire shot toward them, and Jin Seyeon shot arrows without using the medium called a 'bow'.

Cheok Jungyeong's body clashed with Yi Yongha's fire, and Jin Yohan's spear clashed with Jin Seyeon's magic arrows.

Shockwaves bursted out and whirlpools of magic power erupted.

The ground cracked from a single exchange of attacks, and the following exchange shook heaven and earth.

The full-power attacks of these high-ranking superhumans were even able to split the clouds in the sky.

...When Cheok Jungyeong and Aileen began to run low on magic power, the 'hyenas' jumped in.

"Miss Aileen, there are more enemies coming. I'll shoot them down."

Jin Seyeon was the first one to notice them with her excellent eyesight. Along with her announcement, several hundred arrows rained down from the sky. They clearly distinguished friend from foe and only hurled towards the enemy.

In response, Djinns who were aiming for an opportunity to attack burst out at once.

Of the 50 Djinns that shot out, half were swept away by Jin Seyeon's attack.

However, Evil Society's executive, 'Kim Hakpyo', blocked Jin Seyeon's arrow with tentacles of demonic energy, and Satan's Servant's 'Kim Ohsung', created a powerful barrier around him.
