As Jin Yuha swung his sword and severed a spider monster’s neck, Kang Do-hee leaped forward from behind, landing at the tip of Yuha’s sword.
Yuha spun his body half a turn and propelled Do-hee forward.
Boom!
Like a cannonball, Kang Do-hee shot toward the enemy ranks.
Behind her, Ichika’s shadows, Sophia’s golden arrows, and Lim Ga-eul’s acceleration skill followed.
"My goodness! Such seamless coordination... This is a level beyond what we’ve seen from
Utopia before! Oh, but... isn’t Jin Yuha usually the one in charge of directing these moves?"
-How are we supposed to know that?
-Isn’t it Cheonhwa directing now?
-Wow, but for real, it looks so much smoother than before.
-Hmm, but Yuha hasn’t actively participated in team combos like this before, has he?
-Oh, I get it! He’s not directing anymore, so he can focus entirely on being a DPS.
Min-young’s eyes lit up after seeing the last comnt.
’Ah... that’s why.’
Jin Yuha, who had always been burdened with the role of leader and strategist, was now free from that responsibility.
This ant all three DPS mbers could now stand at the frontline together!
Min-young shivered as goosebumps ran down her spine.
’Stop zoning out, Min-young. Do your job. This is your glorious mont to pursue justice.’
Right, all she had to do was her job—to let everyone witness this magnificence and share the sa passion she felt.
"Jin Yuha! Jin Yuha! Jin Yuha steps forward! With Kang Do-hee and Alice by his side, they stand back-to-back! This is a sight we’ve never seen before!"
Min-young amped up her energy even more.
"The spider monsters are losing their heads in an instant! The enemies are being shredded like a blender! Pulverized! No, they’re being annihilated!!!"
-Wooaaahhhhh!!!
-That’s what I’m talking about!
-Insane, just insane. Yuha stepping up to the front makes the battles so much more thrilling!
-For real, Yuha... What kind of shackles were holding you back all this ti?
-Should’ve done this ages ago, lol.
-Alice, Do-hee, Yuha... Seeing those three at the frontlines together is just pure ecstasy.
-Blender = Alice / Pulverizer = Do-hee / Shredder = Yuha, hahaha.
-Why does Alice’s nickna feel weaker? Like she’s just good for making smoothies, lol.
-Eh, gotta endure it as a rookie, lol.
anwhile, Shin Se-hee glanced at the chat and at Lee Min-young from her position as the party director, a smile playing on her lips.
’Hmm, I thought she’d be passable if I just coaxed her with so talk of justice... but she’s performing better than expected.’
Well...
She’s a little over the top, but for a broadcast, it’s not too bad.
Lee Min-young’s debut as a caster was proving to be quite successful.
On the screen, Kang Do-hee and Alice were shown grabbing Lim Ga-eul’s threads and returning.
"Ah, this is unusual! Kang Do-hee and Alice are isolated! But! Right behind them, the sly scher with narrowed eyes, Lim Ga-eul, extends her magical threads to offer them a helping hand!!!"
-Isn’t that the move? The one used during Soup’s aerial operations before?
-Yep, that’s right. It was originally used to provoke the enemy by dropping Lee Yoo-ri into their camp. But now they’re using it on other party mbers.
-Lim Ga-eul! Lim Ga-eul! Lim Ga-eul! Lim Ga-eul!
-Lim Ga-eul has really beco proficient with those threads. It feels like she’s finally pulling her weight, lol.
-But seriously, the raised tension makes it funnier, lolol.
-Totally, casters should get hyped along with everyone else, lol.
"Next up is Jin Yuha’s sword dance! It’s a technique he rarely uses, but today, he’s bringing it out!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Jin Yuha, spinning his body, slashed his sword amidst the enemy camp. The spider monsters were cleanly shredded by Jin Yuha’s blade.
Lee Min-young, showing the fervor of an ardent Utopia fanatic, was providing comntary. anwhile, the chat was flooded with supportive reactions, turning the atmosphere entirely favorable.
However, contrary to the upbeat appearance, Lee Min-young was growing increasingly anxious inside.
’...It feels like the pace of the attack is slowing down.’
Initially, with Jin Yuha’s hard carry and the coordinated attacks of the three damage dealers, they were making rapid progress.
But as ti went on, the team was getting increasingly bogged down by the enemies.
’I’ve neither seen nor heard of monsters like these... What are they even?!’
The spider monsters they were facing, with human torsos attached, were being cut down without much resistance.
But Lee Min-young knew.
Each of these creatures was disaster-level.
If even one of those spider monsters escaped outside the gate, it could easily destroy an entire city.
’They spray venom from their mouths powerful enough to reshape the terrain on contact. They shoot webs from their abdons that hinder movent... Each leg is like a sharp blade, incredibly fast, and they face no restrictions from terrain or mobility...’
Not a single one of their attacks could be taken lightly. Even a single hit could result in fatal injuries.
Moreover, the battlefield was a dense forest with limited visibility.
All directions—up, down, left, and right—needed to be guarded, but predicting attacks was nearly impossible.
Utopia was fighting these formidable opponents.
To be fair, they were doing incredibly well, given the circumstances.
However...
’The biggest problem right now is...’
Glancing around, Lee Min-young’s gaze settled on a corner of the holographic screen.
There, the tank, who should have been at the forefront, was standing at the very back, gripping her shield tightly and biting her lips.
’Lee Yoo-ri...’
.
.
.
-"Jin Yuha, to your left."
Turning her head to the left, Jin Yuha spotted a spider aiming its abdon at him, shooting out a stream of sticky white fluid.
’...If that hits , the internet would explode.’
In this gender-reversed world, wouldn’t so shady site filled with 19 content cheer for this?
With that absurd thought in mind, he thrust his sword.
’No way am I letting that hit !’
Whoosh! Whoosh!
He unleashed short, sharp bursts of mana from the tip of his sword, slicing through the web the mont his blade made contact. Retrieving his sword imdiately, he thought:
’I can’t waste my Moonlight on so trivial spiders.’
The web was a notorious nuisance even in the ga.
Blocking instead of dodging had a chance of disarming his weapon. Once that happened, his attack power would plumt, leaving him with no options.
Even Alice seed irritated, showing a troubled expression.
Fortunately, Kang Do-hee didn’t seem affected—she had no weapon and wielded fire-based mana, so the web wasn’t much of an issue for her.
-"Jin Yuha, behind you. Ichika."
A concise command buzzed in her ear. It was simple—just a direction and a na.
But that was enough for Jin Yuha.
’It’s nice not having to monitor every direction myself. Makes things easier.’
With Shin Se-hee managing others’ movents, Jin Yuha could focus solely on his battle.
’Was I being overworked this whole ti without realizing it?’ he wondered fleetingly.
Tatatatatata!
He sprinted forward, stepping on Ichika’s hovering shadow and slashing his sword beneath it.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
"Keek!"
"Creeek!"
"Kyaaaak!"
As he massacred the spiders, green venom and white webbing flew toward him from behind, while sharp legs lunged at him from the front.
A situation of imminent peril.
To escape, he could either plant his sword in the ground and unleash a devastating burst of mana or use ranged skills like Single Strike or Crescent Moon to slice through the enemies.
But then...
-"Jin Yuha, the analysis is complete."
’Ha, you actually pulled it off?’
With a dry laugh, Jin Yuha awaited comfortably.
The return of their tank.
Swishhhhh!
At that mont, she heard the sharp sound of sothing slicing through the air from behind her.
Clang! Crash! Clang! Clang! Ting!!!
Suddenly, a shield ca flying through the air. The spinning shield blocked the spiders’ attacks one after another before returning to the thrower.
Clack.
"Hoo..."
Glancing back, I saw Lee Yoo-ri, who had retrieved the shield she threw, exhale deeply, her eyes calm.
’Heh, she said she’d try it, and she really did.’
Slice! Slice! Slice!
As I cut down the spiders whose attacks had been thwarted by her shield, I couldn’t help but think about it.
Honestly, this gate wasn’t particularly favorable for Soup. Not just for her, but for any tankers, really.
The role of a tanker is to stand at the forefront and block the attacks aid at the party.
But here, if you just stood with a shield to block, you wouldn’t last long before the shield got taken away or you’d end up cocooned in spider silk like a mummy, becoming deadweight.
’So when I suggested she should take it easy this ti, she got visibly down.’
To cheer her up, I jokingly told her a story from the Arican Captain series in my previous life.
-"Throwing the shield to attack the enemies and having it return? It wouldn’t be easy, but if I could analyze these monsters’ attack patterns and movents... yes, it might be possible."
This was a collaboration between Shin Se-hee and Lee Yoo-ri.
Perfecting the technique of throwing a shield and having it return isn’t sothing you do overnight. Unless the shield was designed for it from the beginning, it requires precise aim, control of power, a deep understanding of the terrain, and relentless practice.
’But she’s doing it.’
I chuckled lightly.
’Whether it’s the one calculating this on the spot or the one daring to suggest it...’
Boosted by her first success, Lee Yoo-ri now pulled out a long-handled dagger, gripping it like a baseball bat, and struck her shield to send it flying again.
KA-BOOM!
The shield flew through the air, and the spiders’ heads turned to follow its trajectory.
’...Wait, she’s provoking the enemies just by hitting and throwing her shield? Mobile provocation? Isn’t this practically a new skill?’
It was almost hard to believe this was the sa person who had clashed with Shin Se-hee earlier, refusing to follow her commands.
’If the tanker does this much for us, we’ve got it easier. Ti to pick up the tempo.’
Gripping my sword handle tightly, I prepared to move forward.
