As expected, it seemed that the enemies couldn’t ignore the image they saw on the outside, and they showed signs of their vigilance crumbling for a moment when we didn’t move.

“Kugh, urk!”

Wang Yong, the weakest, had already received a fatal blow from just that. The remaining members, including Woo Ki-bum, were 5 people.

To be honest, it was impossible to deal with all of them at once, so it was necessary to turn the tables appropriately at this point.

Swish.

“Fierce Wolf, Bone Bear, Black Yin, Phantom Nightmare, Elder Water Ghost.”

Poof!

I summoned all the shikigami I had in front and behind me and charged them forward, and most of the opponents who were nearby began to panic noticeably.

It would have been easier if Ggong-sam-yi was here, but unfortunately, she was left behind at Sahwanjae’s nest, so I couldn’t summon her.

「. . .𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙬.」

Ignoring Wang Yong, who was screaming as he was crushed by the giant Sori-soe, I charged towards Heo Ji-tae, who was the next lowest level.

“Y-You son of a b*tch!”

Fwoosh.

Heo Ji-tae reflexively took out a talisman in the midst of the sudden situation and cast an attack spell.

But that was the wrong answer. In a situation like this, it would have been better to try to buy some time by using a spell to deceive the eyes or a defensive spell.

“Spectral Ghost Wolf.”

Screech!

Poof!

A mid-level attack spell of Bi-hyeong that boasts a rapid casting speed. It pierced Heo Ji-tae’s heart before his spell was even complete, inflicting a fatal wound.

“. . .Keuk! Cough!”

With this, two of them have retired. But now that the enemies know my abilities, they won’t let their guard down and will respond by sticking together.

That’s why I immediately started charging towards Woo Ki-bum, the leader, while blocking their path with my shikigami.

“Heh, so you were a guy who thought he was hot stuff, even though you’re still wet behind the ears.”

Woo Ki-bum had no choice but to drop Choe Da-in, who he had been holding onto, and entered a battle stance.

He definitely had the advantage that came from his long experience.

With the talisman in his left hand, he skillfully cast defensive spells, and he hid his right hand behind his back, making it impossible to tell what he was aiming for.

「. . .𝙃𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙢𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙩.」

However, I can guarantee that there are very few beings in this exorcism world who have experienced more battles than me.

In the end, for me, Woo Ki-bum’s current behavior wasn’t that different of a repertoire.

Fwoosh.

I waited for the timing, and just as his defensive spell was completed, I flicked a talisman with my hand while subtly drawing out my spiritual power.

At that, Woo Ki-bum hurriedly activated the spell he had prepared, but in fact, it was just a talisman that I had thrown, nothing more or less than a trick to deceive the eyes.

The real thing is this.

“Azure Serpent Binding.”

Screech!

Rumble!

Was it because the previously prepared spell had been broken? Woo Ki-bum clicked his tongue in annoyance and hurriedly took out his right hand, which he had been hiding, and cast another spell.

“Tch!”

Fwoosh.

I focused and imprinted the whole process into my mind.

「𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙩 𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙭 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙣.」

A mid-level attack spell that is difficult to control and therefore has few users, the Six Severing Slaughter.

At this distance, it is impossible to avoid it simply by moving your body. In response, I took Dudooree out from the shadows, which I had deliberately left behind, and strengthened him by activating the Gloom of Darkness that I had obtained from Spain.

Fwoosh.

Swish.

After that, all I had to do was use Dudooree’s massive body as a shield and have him take the attack instead.

Poof!

Crackle!

『Groooan─!』

Dudooree’s body was almost torn apart by the powerful force, and I charged at Woo Ki-bum, who was caught by my binding spell, with a talisman in my hand.

“Tch!”

Clang─!

Swoosh!

With the momentum completely gone, Woo Ki-bum reluctantly broke the chain of spiritual power by infusing his strength into the bracelet on his wrist and backed away.

Rip!

At that, the bracelet, which had run out of power, lost its light and gradually shattered. It seemed that he had been carrying a single-use item to escape from a situation like this.

I didn’t feel sorry at all, and instructed Dudooree to return Woo Ki-bum’s attack to his colleague, Kwak Do-woo.

『Bam!』

Poof!

“Kyaaagh─!”

Kwak Do-woo, who had been dealing with Han Seo-ah and Choe Da-in, didn’t notice it in time and collapsed as he was hit directly by Dudooree’s curse.

At the same time, Dudooree, who had also taken some damage in the previous fight, finally reached his limit with this attack and was exorcised.

Woo Ki-bum, who saw that sight, frowned and spoke to me.

“What are you? Someone with your abilities isn’t that common, even among active exorcists. Are you perhaps older than you look?”

“Well.”

“. . .Damn, this is the first time I’ve seen a fighting style like this. Some ridiculous guy has appeared.”

It was a fight between players who already knew everything about each other. With just that one move, they realized that each other were not to be trifled with.
