The dark veil, with 100% regeneration power, once again took the form of the dark greatsword.
If it were used as a shield, it would have formidable defensive power, but when wielded as a sword, how threatening would it be?
As soon as it took the strike, Ha Eung Eung instinctively understood.
“If I were to unleash the ultimate unarmed technique, I might gain the upper hand. But to maintain that advantage, I lack both internal and external strength.”
Just as Ha Eung Eung protected her subordinates, this time, her subordinates must protect her.
If not, the power of the enemy would be too much to endure.
Even the great Ha Eung Eung was staggering, her arm that wielded the sword trembling from the heavy impact that it had yet to fully dissipate.
“Boogeyman. Knight. Giant Champion. Looks like it’s my turn to rely on them now.”
In the next 100 exchanges, Ha Eung Eung predicted the course of her defeat.
Body and sword, one would break first—this was the inevitable conclusion. The only way to win was for her subordinates to make meaningful attacks on the Abyss King’s sword, thereby consuming his dark power and reducing the burden on her.
“I can only pray that I’ve made good use of my growing number of allies.”
The success or failure of this battle now rested on the three powerful monsters.

The viewers were exhilarated.
It was fine that Ha Eung Eung was doing her thing in the Miniature World.
It was great that she was winning against the Hidden Bosses.
But the grudge that had been simmering for months towards the villainous guild leader, who had abandoned them—
That chance for indirect revenge, there was no way they could let it go!
“This game is no joke. The ultra-powerful monsters are everywhere.”

Baek So-cheon.
One of the three great leaders of the Martial Arts Association and an S-rank Awakened, a master of the highest order.
He also had a serious expression as he watched the boss battle between Ha Eung Eung and the King of the Abyss.
“Kill the Silent Swordsman. Show me the vengeance for the burial I endured, King of the Abyss!”
Beside the solemn Baek So-cheon, Whisper’s contrasting behavior, unable to contain his over-immersion, caused Voice Girl to quietly shed tears.
“Seeing Whisper like this, I can’t bear it... I didn’t want to see him like that.”
Before joining the Haenam faction, Whisper had been a high-ranking official in the Black Army, the second-in-command of the organization.
It broke Voice Girl’s heart to see how far he had fallen.
She tried to calm her flustered mind and turned away.
“What does the Saint think?”
“I see it in 3D.”
“......”
“Hehe, isn’t it fun?”
“Uh... yes...”
“Sorry, it was a joke I learned from a comrade on the battlefield. Seems like it wasn’t very funny.”
“Was your comrade an old man?”
“He had a wife and a daughter.”
Ah, so that’s why. She nodded, understanding the dad joke.
Voice Girl’s head nodded as she understood, but the Saint responded next.
“He was a comrade who saved many and left. His family must be proud.”
“Um, does that mean he’s... gone?”
Saint Eve smiled brightly.
Voice Girl finally understood why no one stopped the Saint's awful sense of humor.
“Imitating the jokes of a deceased comrade... How could anyone have stopped it...”
Despite Voice Girl’s discomfort, the Saint secretly felt tense while watching the battle between the King of the Abyss and Ha Eung Eung.
“In the Eastern Gate, even such a raid boss monster rarely appeared.”
An Untouchable monster.
Monsters that can’t be quantified in terms of strength. If an Untouchable monster appeared outside the Gate, at least one nation would fall.
“The monster that destroyed my home country, Ukraine, was also an Untouchable.”
In a massive national effort to reclaim the lost territory from monsters, with all A-rank Awakened from the European Federation and exiled nations participating, they barely succeeded in repelling the Untouchables and reclaiming the land.
And now, they faced the King of the Abyss, a monster of similar danger. Ha Eung Eung and her forces were up against him.
“Can it be done? To win against an Untouchable by simply adding the power of her own forces?”
The Saint didn’t believe in miracles.
She had seen too much despair to believe in them.
But she wanted to believe.
If monsters have Untouchables, then among the Awakened, there must be those who surpass the levels—true warriors who exceed even their grades.
“Show me, Sister Ha Eung Eung. Prove that your strength will not be broken by this.”

“Our lord’s power has made him recover his strength. We must attack now while he is still vulnerable!”
“Urrraaahhh!”
The Knight pierced through the Abyss remnants’ weaknesses and single-handedly knocked out dozens of the remaining monsters.
Even the Giant Champion swung his arm mightily, sending the remnants’ shadows and blood bursting like balloons.
The King of the Abyss was certainly powerful.
He had enough strength to scare many of the subordinates.
But even as Ha Eung Eung fought fiercely, he wasn’t strong enough to break the morale of her forces.
“Look! The King of the Abyss can’t even resist our lord’s power! Now is our time to strike!”
This spurred the Knight and Giant Champion into action, rallying their subordinates and inspiring them.
The active participation of each faction soon led to a rapid depletion of the remnants.
“We’ve got the upper hand.”
That was after about 20 exchanges.
Ha Eung Eung withstood the King of the Abyss’s onslaught.
“Don’t mimic us so clumsily!”
“We won’t lose to puppets!”
The remnants of the Abyss, using the blood memory to imitate the behavior patterns of the fallen, attempted to rebuild their forces.
However, the dead and resurrected monsters, the Abyss remnants, were too weak to steal anything of value from the battlefield.
“If you want to steal, try it...”
“We are bloodless spirits, already having lost all the blood on the battlefield.”
“Cut us down. We won’t fall.”
“Pierce us. We will move forward with the sword.”
“If you’re the Abyss’s army, we are the Silent Swordsman’s army. We are the army of massacre that won’t stop until the battlefield is soaked with enemy blood!”
Even if the remnants were attacked and their blood drained, the warriors wouldn’t give them any exchange. They annihilated the remnants without mercy.
Especially when the Giant Champion swung his hand, the remnants were swept away.
“Why are the warriors so strong?”
“Seems like they gained power by following the Silent Swordsman.”
“Could they really become this strong?”
“They’ve already defeated the Demon King, the toughest boss.”
“Aah...”
“The giants are also crushed.”
“Right...”
“They must have gotten extra experience from the hidden event.”
“Insane.”
“How strong are they?”
The viewers couldn’t believe the strength displayed by the warriors.
One of the warriors, holding a spear, flung aside the Abyss remnants that were near, knocking them back with expert skill. His spear shattered their ranks with successive thrusts. Another warrior leapt from a wall, twisting in mid-air, and pierced the remnants’ heads with swift and precise strikes.
All around, the warriors’ crazy movements were like clips, making the viewers' jaws drop in awe.
“I’ll sweep them all!”
“Urrraahh!”
With a decisive strike, the Knight and Giant Champion cleared out the remaining remnants in sweeping waves, their overwhelming power making short work of the enemy.
The remnants were quickly wiped out.
“We’ve defeated the enemies!”
“Good, clear the way! The front lines are yours. We’ll go after the King of the Abyss and support our lord!”
With the confidence that came from seeing their subordinates excel, the Knight and Giant Champion moved forward toward the King of the Abyss.
In just a mere 40 exchanges, they had begun to strengthen their offensive.
“Does it still seem like my subordinates are useless?”
[“Not bad. To get this far with these lowly soldiers, you’ve done quite well.”]
The King of the Abyss acknowledged their strength.
[“But still, it’s not enough.”]
[“Even if you arrive, it won’t matter if you can’t inflict meaningful damage on me.”]
[“Do you really think you can hurt me?”]
Yes, the dark veil surrounding the King of the Abyss couldn’t be penetrated by just brute strength.
If they couldn’t strip away the shadowy power surrounding him, no matter how many commanders and warriors came, their efforts would be in vain.
The King of the Abyss’s powerful aura remained unbroken, and Ha Eung Eung had to come up with a new strategy.
“Let’s see. Show me your true strength.”
She knew the time to strike back had come.
