The Valkyrie announced.

  [The fight has begun.]

  The battle field had camps on each end, and there were two paths connecting them. Between the two paths was a huge forest.

  “There are three paths for our enemies to approach us while we are only two. What should we do?”


  When Sooryun asked Sungjin this, he answered with a playful smile, “What would be the way from the book?”


  “To fight against many, we should defeat them one-by-one. There are five of them, so they would divide their forces, putting two on each path and one in the forest. That means we should find the robot that will be alone to make this fight one against one rather than two against five.”


  She was the leader of the resistance, and her plan was logical. It made Sungjin nod. “Yes, that is perfectly by the book.”


  “So should we do that?”


  “No. You go to the upper path, and I will go to the lower path. Let’s try to get items using the turret.”


  “We can…… earn some time…… but would it be ok?”


  “Of course. Trust me.”


  But while we collect our items, they would also collect theirs. They would become even stronger, but Sooryun didn’t argue. She decided to go all in with Sungjin. There was no reason to argue with him but to trust him that he had an idea.

  They both protected the turret from the robots.

  A two-on-one fight was not easy, but Sooryun was holding on.

  T-ring.

  Everytime she played her lute a mud minion disappeared.

  Ding ding.

  “The Music of the Half Moon.” When she activated her strong skill, a half-moon shaped sound wave sliced-up the soldiers in its range.

  Now I’ve earned a bit of a time.

  And she was able to collect a little more crystals, but she became more and more anxious.

  I can keep them out by killing the soldiers to stop the robots jumping into the turret but…… how long will this last?

  [Heat laser from the Sky.]

  A robot started to shoot heat lasers with a heavy mechanical sound, and the soldiers from her side burned in a second.

  She was collecting crystals, but the robots were collecting just as much.

  After time, they would strengthen their armor or maybe activate an item to neutralize the turret.

  Then what will we do? Although the scariest thing is something else: is Sungjin prepared for all those possibilities?

  And then the time came. Two robots walked in to destroy the turret. AI system in the robot calculated that it was possible.

  “The Music of the Half Moon.” She threw half-moon shaped sound waves to stop them.

  [Laser Net Shield.]

  An energy shield appeared above the robots, and her wave was neutralized by the shield. It was an equally strong power.

  Ugh…… my ultimate skill “the Heavenly Music of the Full Moon” would be the only thing that would work.

  But she was not sure when she had to divide the power for two robots, if it would be possible to destroy them all by breaking the armor and the shield. If that would work, that would be great but if not, the robots would kill her.

  I need to risk my life here.

  But then, she heard Sungjin’s order.

  Are you reaching your limit? Give up the turret and come back to the base camp.

  She didn’t understand, because if she gave up the turret, that would make the situation worse, but Sooryun decided to follow Sungjin’s order. She didn’t have any other solutions.

  Sungjin and Sooryun came back to the base camp. “Did you collect enough crystals?”


  “Yes. I have enough to activate my Heavenly Yueqin. What about you?”


  “I collected enough. Now it’s time to fight.”


  “So we should fight against them all here.”


  And she was right. Five robots walked in to the upper path all together. The robots were three meters tall and laser beams came from their chests while they held weapons in each hand. The armor looked strong, and it was covered in shields.

  And there were five of them. This was the situation that Sooryun had been worried about. She was capable of fighting a one-on-one fight, but this was a five-on-two fight.

  Maybe Sungjin could fight one or two but…… what about the rest? She didn’t know what kind of hidden card Sungjin was trying to use.

  It seemed that he was about to show her but it was a desperate situation that no plan could really work.

  “Are you scared?”


  “To be honest with you, yes I am.”


  “Don’t worry. I have the key for the victory already.”


  “Is that so?”


  “I will show you.” Sungjin stretched out his right hand. The show was about to begin. “Come. Dawn Bringer.” He was using crystals to activate his artifact: The Holy Sword of Halt. It was a bringer of the dawn that he had gotten by defeating the Holy Pope Pedrian.

  The legend showed its power beyond the time and space by appearing on his hand.

  It was the strong weapon that helped him to unify the continent, but also, in the beginning, this was the sword of the light that the top angle had used to stop the chaos. It was able to stop abnormal phenomenon by touching it with its blade.

  “Ha. It is a world made with the power from Valhalla, it could be a seperated world but it can’t be a different world from Valhalla,” said Sungjin with a grin.

  “Sooryun.”


  “Yes?”


  “Let me use your power.” Sungjin reached out his left hand. “Stat Exchange.”


  “Huh?”


  Sooryun’s outfit became a normal one while Sungjin’s outfit changed. A flow of energy moved from Sooryun to Sungjin and made Sungjin’s outfit change into blue armor. It was an armor of oriental warriors. It looked a bit dangerous because no part of it was protected by heavy metal plate, but that only seemed so when just looking at its appearance. It was knitted by strings that contained power so that Sungjin was able to move freely while augmenting his physical function to maximum capability.

  Sooryun’s class was the warrior.
