Drip. Drip.

Blood was dripping.

Cale whose body was bound by the branches looked out through the gaps in the branches only to see red.

Drip, drip.

The middle-aged man wearing glasses was bleeding, while blood was flowing from Choi Han's cheek as well. Of course, it was not Choi Han’s blood.

Forget getting injured, Choi Han looked as clean as someone who had just washed their face a minute ago.

“Ugh. Ugh.”

The middle-aged man was shaking as if he was having trouble breathing.

Choi Han was still looking at Cale and smiling innocently.

“…Uhh…mm.”

‘…This vicious bastard, no, senior.’

Cale awkwardly asked while looking at Choi Han's happy face.

“What happened?”

What could have happened while he had been unconscious?

‘Why are the Dark Elves running around excitedly and Raon raising his voice while remaining invisible and destroying the maze walls? …And why the hell are you covered in blood?’

“I'm not sure.”

Cale's heart thumped at the very slow response. He was scared.

“…How long was I out for?”

‘Thirty minutes? No. It must have been at least an hour to cause this much chaos.’

He then waited for Choi Han to respond.

“Mm. I think it's been about ten minutes.”

“What? Ten minutes? You crazy bastards-!”

Cale could not speak anymore.

‘They caused this much chaos in ten minutes? No, that's fine, they did a good job, but…!’

Cale seemed to forget that he was the one who originally turned the maze into a mess as he started to frown.

“It was a very long time.”

“Ugh, ugh!”

Choi Han slowly responded as he lowered his hand.

Plop.

The fainted middle-aged shaman weakly fell to the ground.

‘…This scary…anyway, vicious punk.’

Cale's face turned pale.

However, Choi Han started to think about the things that happened while looking at the pale Cale.

The moment the strand of white light had struck down…

The Dark Elves, Elves, assassins, and even the enemies all stopped moving and looked toward the light.

“…Young master Cale-!”

Dark Elf Tasha subconsciously shouted.

She saw a thick and disgusting black branch that had lost a portion of its tip after being burnt.

A person's entire body except their head was bound by that branch.

The head of that person slowly lowered.

Plop.

Their head weakly lowered.

That person was Cale Henituse.

The person who was already pale from the start looked terrible standing there limp with his eyes closed.

“…Ah.”

Jopis who had been inside the wooden nest jumped up.

She could finally see that pale person properly.

She realized something at the same time.

The only reason that that pale and weak person did not seem weak this whole time was because of his gaze.

He had a reliable gaze that made his allies feel as if they had nothing to fear. It was because of that energetic and sparkling gaze.

It was also because of his brusque and blunt yet strong voice that calmed them down.

“…My goodness.”

Jopis suddenly felt her mind blanking out as she became anxious.

Cale Henituse was the Commander for all of their side.

He was the person guiding them from the center.

It was only natural for their side to turn chaotic if such a person fainted.

‘What do we do?’

As Jopis finally managed to have that thought after a few seconds…

“Why do you look so stunned?”

The sneering Elisneh swung her staff.

‘No.’

Jopis could see exactly what she was trying to do.

“No!”

Some things shot forward as she shouted.

“Grrrrrrr!”

Three puppies with Fluffy at the center quickly ran toward the black tree.

It could not be helped.

Screeeech-

The black branches quickly started to move.

They were extremely fast. They were moving so quickly that they managed to move before Choi Han who was the closest to Cale could get to him.

However, people could not just sit back and watch.

"We must save the Commander-nim!”

“Burn that tree down now!”

The Elves charged forward in shock. The fake World Tree was as evil as Elisneh to them; it was something that could destroy their home.

Their commander was captured by such an existence.

“Ah.”

Healer Elf Pendrick gasped.

He remained alone in the rear as he did not have any Elementals while the other Elves charged forward with their Elementals. That was why he could see things more clearly than they could.
