No one's POV

After Nhazul discarded the still-unconscious Masato to a corner of the building, he'd call out Kaisel and Igris out.

Nhazul: Come out.

As one of his black Dragons and a black knight revealed themselves. Nhazul carefully lifted up Yuka and handed her over to Igris.

Nhazul: Take Sonobe to Sensei at the castle. Make sure she gets the necessary treatment. Got it?

Igris simply nodded and jumped on the back of Kaisel to fly out of the ruins.Thomas didn't care about the escaping Dragon.

No, his glare was firmly locked on Nhazul and Nhazul alone. Likewise, Nhazul 's glare was redirected to him, as well.

And he got to see the crumpled expression of Thomas and top-ranked Adventurers rushing inside beyond his shoulders. Their number was around 2,000.

It seemed that he mobilised and brought along all the elites of the Scavenger Guild members often referred to as the best Guild in the world.

Nhazul: If you want to compare the number of soldiers, then I too have more than enough... Come Forth....

Nhazul immediately called out his Shadow
Soldiers hiding within his shadow and waiting for his commands. The darkness slowly spread out from beneath his feet, and one by one, the Shadow Soldiers rose up from the ground, as both the Scavenger Guild and Shadow Army would stand off with one another, with their Leaders in the forefront.

Thomas was a bit surprised after he discovered all those soldiers. The number was somewhere near 5 thousand. The ruined area of the Kingdom they were was completely filled up in an instant, but even then, the columns of soldiers extended well beyond to the back as well. Thomas narrowed his eyes. It's not just the incredible numbers, either.

He even spotted several summoned creatures that were easily on a similar level as Gold Rank Adventurers. Such as Iron, Blades, or Tusk, and even Hound and the Giants occupying the backline, too. Their magical energy emission didn't lose out to some of the highest-ranked Adventurers out there. Indeed, these were truly excellent summoned creatures that even the entirety of the Scavenger Guild participating could not guarantee a victory against.

Seeing Nhazul's common sense-breaking summons in the flesh, Thomas felt this powerful shudder run up through his entire body. At the same time, he was feeling genuinely happy.

Wouldn't he truly get to enjoy the fight now that the level of his opponent was this high?
A smile broke out on Thomas's face as he licked his lips. That fool Masato no longer mattered in this fight.

There was only one way to restore his damaged pride. And that would be to... '.Kill that impudent bastard...' But, before he did that, Thomas made his final offer of mercy.

Thomas: If you admit to your mistakes and back off, I promise I'll spare your life.

Instead of a verbal answer, Nhazul simply flipp him off. Upon seeing this, Thomas's rage and irritation had reached his breaking point.

Thomas: You fucker, right until the end...

Thomas's muscles in his entire torso ballooned up and hardened like armour covering his whole body. Magic energy so vast that it raised goosebumps from the people nearby leaked out from beneath his feet. It was so vast and powerful, in fact, it looked as if gold-coloured steam was slowly rising up from his shoulders. The world's greatest Tanker had released his full might once more.

Nhazul wordlessly watched Thomas's transformation before unleashing his own magical energy as well. The magic energy emitted from two monsters occupying wholly different realms,
