monsters were another group of small fries on the level that our regular attacks were all it needed to insta-kill them.
Our unstoppable advancement was set in stone.

However our opponent's advancement wasn't as smooth.
They were spending too much time on clearing the squares.

Well, there were lots of tricks to pull that.
Even my current speed was something I have gained after a lot of practice since the time I had first challenged the dungeon.
I'm glad all that time I had spent trying to take down the «Armour Golem» of Beg-low while slipping past wasn't all in vain.

Also, there's just a wide gap in our AGI.
Karua's AGI was already reaching the mark of 400, and I was also quite fast if I add «Body Strengthening» to the equation, putting my AGI near 320.

If I be honest here, the difference was such that I could only pity them.
But it wasn't not like I'm going to hold back in the beginning at least.

Ultimately, we had enough time so we also captured the strategic location and then aimed straight at North.
Second Move.

The point was to capture the squares in a form like drawing a straight line.
Take watch as a reference, our path would stretch straight like a needle pointing at the 12 o'clock from the center (strategic location).
This would give us a protection period such that our opponents wouldn't be able to intercept us from the direction of 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock, completely separating the two sides for 2 minutes.
The Opposing side wouldn't be able to get closer to the East in the end.

My second move was all about stopping the opponent from taking Big Castle in the East when we would be busy in capturing Big Castle in the North.

And if the opponent wants to aim at the East, they would have to take a long detour by passing through the South so Saturn-kun and Jilong-kun chasing after us were trying to aim for the North desperately.

That being said, they would be facing Lana and others, who were dashing towards our direction as we speak, if they decided to turn back and instead tried to go through the South.
I will absolutely stop them from taking the Big Castle of the East.

“Hn, annihilation of the guarding monsters complete.”

“Great, let's shave off the HP of Big Castle before the rest of the members catch up to us.
‹Brave Slash›! ‹Lightning Slash›!”

“Nn, Roger.
‹Star Burst – Rain Edge›! ‹32 Star Storm›!”

I and Karua, who were the first ones to arrive at the Northern Big Castle, wiped off any other guarding monsters and began to chip down the HP of Big Castle slowly before Lana and others catched up to us.

The skills Karua was firing off vigorously were the ace skills of ‹Star Cat› she had gained from the 3rd order tree.
She was scoring pretty high damage with the rapid fire skills utilizing her speed.

Then we quickly took down all the squares around the Northern Big Castle just as Saturn-kun and Jilong-kun were about to get closer which made them unable to enter since we had entered the protection period.

“Grrrrrrr! Damn you! Get out!”

“Fufu.
It's unbelievable my calculation turned out to be wrong.
My, my plan to gander at the regretful face of Zephyr by stealing the last hit……”

Saturn-kun and Jilong-kun bashed against the wall as they were stopped by the barrier of protection period but of course, I didn't pay them any heed at all.
Having no sympathy for the opponent was the way of games.

And I didn't know Jilong-kun was cooking such conspiracies.
I made up my mind to give him a penalty another day.

“I make you wait, Zephyr!”

“Those people are full of openings.
Would it be alright if I take a shot against them?”

“Our debut is here! Let's do it!”

It was then Lana, Shizu and Rika entered as if that barrier didn't exist for them.
The only ones who could enter the square during the protection period were team members.
And Shizu, I understand they're full of openings as they're hitting the barrier but leave them alone.

Besides, attacks from here wouldn't reach them either since they're being hindered by the barrier of protection period.
It was in the setting of the protection period that one cannot unilaterally attack their opponents while being protected by the protection period barrier.

“Our first step is to take down this Big Castle.
Let's do it as planned.”

“A pity.”

Shizu's shoulder dropped in disappointment and then she readied her gun.
The muzzle was, of course, aimed at the Big Castle.
Great for you, ain't it, Saturn-kun, Jilong-kun?

“‹Guardian Dog's Protection›! Let's go! Get, Set and ‹Shining Sabre of the Sacred Light›! ‹Rise of the Sacred Tree›! ‹Divine Pillar›!”

“‹Grenade›! ‹Rapid Fire›! ‹Fire Bullet›! ‹Ice Bullet›! ‹Sand Bullet›!”

“‹Shogun's Burst›²! ‹Flame Slash›! ‹Ice Strike› ‹Lightning Strike› ‹Light Flash› ‹Dark Sweep›!” (*Shogun's Burst – a self buff type skill that increase the dmg based on the number of hits)

“‹Lightning Burst›! ‹Shine Lightning›!”

“‹Delta Stream›! ‹Star Burst Tornado›!”

From top to bottom, Lana, Shizu, Rika, I and Karua immediately slapped down our attacks matching our timing with Lana's ‘Get-Set’ signal.
Reason behind the simultaneous attack was to prevent the opponent from interrupting Just in case.
Simultaneous attack too was a crucial tactic.

“Ahh, Ahh, Aaaaahhh!”

“Fufu, fufufu, ofufufu!”

I felt like I heard the dumbfounded shout of Saturn-kun and Jilong-kun who witnessed the fall of Big Castle from the other side of the barrier.

“Castle down, Zephyr! Onto our next Target!”

“Let's go Zephyr! To the Big Castle in the East!”

“Hn, let's…
gooo.”

Though it seemed like Rika, Lana and Karua didn't notice Saturn-kun and Jilong-kun's condition and excitedly rushed for the Eastern Big Castle.

Having no sympathy for the opponent was the way of games…

I also quickly followed them before the protection period could end.
