Recalling the original story.
The vanguard of the 8th Army led by Penelope had three 6-star demons appointed as commanders.
The 6-star witch Angonina, who served as the overall commander leading the entire vanguard.
The mage Belmore, who controlled the army of the dead using the Corps Stone he received from 2nd Corps Commander Cacherto.
And finally, Bahad—the leader of the skirmisher unit now standing in front of Glen.
If one only looked at how their roles were divided, the combination itself was not bad in any regard.
‘But that balance is only on the surface.’
In reality, the three of them had personalities so incompatible that calling them sworn enemies would not be an exaggeration.
First, Belmore was a typical self-righteous man, soaked in vanity and arrogance, completely deaf to the words of others.
Angonina, on the other hand, was extremely emotional, handling matters according to her mood at the moment.
Bahad was relatively the calmest and most rational among them, but he did not trust Angonina or Belmore even a little.
And when these three oddly tempered demons were gathered into a single unit—
‘The self-righteous Belmore runs wild on his own, Angonina reacts emotionally, and in the end, Bahad moves to clean up the mess.’
Belmore’s death at Glen’s hands, and the eight thousand undead that were wasted without ever being properly used.
In such an unexpected situation, it was not hard to imagine how Angonina and Bahad would act.
‘Obviously, Angonina would explode in rage and blame Belmore, while Bahad would try to stabilize the situation.’
The number of choices available to the demon skirmishers to turn the tide was limited.
They would either infiltrate the enemy base to assassinate key figures, or destroy important supplies.
That was why Glen had entered the supply warehouse inside the fortress together with Romina—to intercept them.
All while safely storing the war supplies inside the player’s authority, the Lunatic Inventory.
And Glen’s prediction proved perfectly correct when Bahad and the skirmisher unit appeared inside the very warehouse where he was waiting.
So now, all that remained was to sweep up the well-prepared meal called Bahad together with Romina beside him.
Enjoying the sharp gazes of Bahad and the skirmishers, Glen curled his lips upward.
Bahad spoke first.
“Looks like we were completely seen through.”
“As you can see.”
“…But why are there only two of you?”
It was a question asking why, after seeing through their movements, he had not deployed more troops.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have the luxury right now to spare manpower just for you.”
To face the elite vanguard, every single Gray Wolf Knight had to be committed to the front line.
Only then could they make up even a little for the absence of Glen, who was an important combat asset.
“In that case, this is a grave mistake.”
Bahad and the demon skirmishers released threatening waves of demonic energy as they slowly approached Glen.
“To think you could stop all of us with just two people.”
Glen slowly rolled his eyes, assessing the strength of every enemy present.
‘Only Bahad is 6-star. Four 5-star demonic archers. Everyone else is 4-star or below.’
After a brief calculation,
Glen raised one corner of his lips as he looked at the skirmishers.
“Well. I think it’s more than enough.”
“Arrogant.”
Killing intent thickened in Bahad’s eyes as the black demonic energy surrounding him surged violently.
It was savage demonic power befitting a 6-star demonic archer.
“I will carve the price of that arrogance deep into your bones.”
Bahad and the skirmishers drew arrows and set them to their bowstrings.
Soon, over a dozen black arrows were aimed at Glen and Romina.
It seemed they had decided to kill him rather than let him escape, and then thoroughly search Avenue Fortress for the hidden war supplies.
Of course, unless Glen—who possessed the inventory—died, the chance of them finding those supplies was practically zero.
“Well, we’ll see who’s really arrogant in this situation.”
Glen shrugged.
“Right, Romina?”
“Of course.”
Romina, who had been silent until now, stepped forward and released her demonic energy.
Dark, shadow-like demonic power swirled violently around her.
In the next moment, the horns and wings of a high-ranking demon—previously hidden—revealed themselves.
“Hmm?!”
“That is—!”
“Why is one of our own…?!”
Bahad and the skirmishers flinched.
Meeting a fellow demon as an enemy in such an unexpected place—it was a natural reaction.
‘Nice reaction. But too bad—that’s not all you’ll be surprised by.’
Sneering at the shaken skirmishers, Glen pulled Einheria from his inventory and gripped it.
Then he activated the gray ring.
Six activated rings resonated fiercely, flooding his entire body with vitality.
“Earlier, you said there were only two of us, right?”
“……”
“But tell me—did you ever consider that the two of us might wipe all of you out?”
Sensing something strange in the dense holy power surrounding Glen, Bahad sharpened his gaze.
“That’s impossible……”
“It is possible. Because—”
A crafty glint flashed in Glen’s pure white eyes.
“This one and I are both 6-star or higher.”
Gooooooo—!
At the same time, the dense demonic energy surrounding Romina surged even more violently.
And the next instant, what the skirmishers saw was holy power and demonic energy raging savagely from two single points.
Kwaaaaaang—!
Kuuung—!
Inside the supply warehouse of Avenue Fortress—
Demonic energy exploded again and again within the massive, cavern-like space.
At the center of the explosions stood a red-haired demon woman.
“Ghk!”
Bahad groaned as he widened the distance to avoid the blasts.
But that brief respite ended instantly as black spikes rained down upon his position.
Pababababak—!
Dodging the falling black spikes with acrobatic movements, Bahad fired counterattacking arrows at the demon woman whenever he found an opening.
