A nameless hero from the future that no one knew about.
That was probably the best way to describe Essel.
"Although, for me, as long as I have the means to complete the mission, it doesn't matter whether I have a name or not."
With that thought in mind, Essel stood facing the wind and looked into the distance.
The location was deep in the mountains that looked like a giant beast that could devour people.
The location was a temple located in the mountains.
Essel stood at the top of the temple and looked a few kilometers away with his Clairvoyance skill.
There, the expected enemies were coming this way.
There was a girl wearing an inappropriate aristocratic costume and looked a little anxious.
There was a sage holding a wooden staff with a disgusting frivolous face.
There was a sub-servant holding a shield with an incredible creature standing on his shoulder.
There was a boy who looked weak, but his eyes were constantly flashing with brilliance that could not be underestimated.
The group of four was rushing this way.
"Sure enough, they came?"
Assel's tone was full of unpredictability.
Ever since he was defeated, Assel had been waiting for him here.
"Since the rest of the servants have been defeated, it's only a matter of time before they come to challenge me."
So, instead of launching an attack, it was better to wait here for the enemy to come to him.
Anyway, no matter what, as long as the enemy came close, it would be advantageous for him to occupy a commanding position and monitor the surrounding several kilometers.
For this reason, Essel deliberately destroyed the sewers around the mountains so that Renault and his group could not approach from the underground like last time.
"This time …"
Red magic burst out of Assel's hand and formed a black iron bow. He held it tightly in his hand.
…
The moment Essel held the bow, Renault and his group approached the mountain. Two servants immediately reacted.
"Enemy detected!"
Mano immediately tensed up and raised his shield.
"So it was Essel who launched the attack first?"
Townsend smiled disdainfully, as if he knew Assel's style, but his grip on the wooden staff tightened.
"The opponent is an archer, so it's not a problem to become like this."
Calmephala seemed to be mentally prepared to be targeted.
"Then …"
Reynolds pulled himself together and pulled Fou off of Mano's shoulder, throwing her onto Calmephala's body.
Soon after, he looked in the direction of the deep mountains and revealed a smile.
"Let's follow the plan and nullify Eser's attack!"
Reynolds's words made everyone around him laugh along with him.
Then, the surging magic power bloomed around them.
…
"What …?"
Assel, who was about to shoot, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He saw that within the range of his All-Seeing Eyes, there was a sudden change in the movements of Reynolds and his group that were rushing over.
"This is a secret technique! Look carefully! "
Townsend shouted as he raised the wooden staff in his hand. After spinning it for a while, he heavily knocked it on the ground.
Along with a 'dang' sound, a rune flickering with light appeared on the ground that was struck by the wooden staff.
That was the Rune script, which could replace the effects of spells and magic arrays. Magic could be activated by simply inscribing it. It originated from the mysteries of Northern Europe.
Townsend didn't spend any time to complete the Rune script and activate the magic.
The next second, the ground that was struck by the wooden staff suddenly protruded and thick roots drilled out.
As a warrior who inherited the magic of Rune, Ku'Chulin was often called the Forest Sage when he was a magician.
Although there were many types of magic in Runes, and through the flexible use of different Runes, Townsend could achieve various and powerful effects, such as magic power, clairvoyance, and other skills, and even raising one of the ability parameters to the highest level, but they had the disadvantage that they couldn't be used at the same time. Furthermore, due to his personality, Townsend was more inclined to attack actively.
Now, Townsend displayed his aggressive side. Thick roots drilled out of the ground and extended towards the deep mountains like a bridge.
Reynolds and his group were sitting at the front of the roots. Following the gaze of the roots, they were approaching the deep mountains at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, the distance of nearly a kilometer was eliminated.
"Don't even think about it …!"
Seeing that the enemy was closing in on him in an unexpected way, Assel didn't even have a chance to kite him. Without hesitation, he nocked an arrow on the bowstring and aimed at the enemy.
However, since Reynolds decided to attack in this way, he naturally wouldn't give Assel a chance to snipe him.
Therefore, even though the sewers couldn't be used, Reynolds still secretly sent his Tamed Demons here.
Now was the time for these Tamed Demons to come into play.
"Bang!"
Just as Assel's arrow was about to break through the air, the ground around the temple also burst open.
Many gigantic Demonic Ants crawled out from the ground.
"— —!"
Just as Assel's expression changed, the Demonic Ants began to move.
It was as if they had turned into turrets. They didn't charge at Essel, but instead, they carried huge rocks and used their monstrous strength that was comparable to that of a superior tamed demon to throw the rocks one by one.
As a result, the rain of stones covered the sky and covered Essel.
"All you can do is play some useless tricks!"
Assel leaped up and avoided the incoming projectiles. He spun his body and kicked out fiercely. He was ready to kick away a piece of rock that was flying towards his door.
But Assel didn't notice it at all.
On the back of the stone he kicked, an exquisite rune suddenly lit up.
When Assel noticed it, it was already too late.
"Boom!"
The sound of an explosion resounded.
The rock engraved with runes exploded like a bomb and turned into a billowing heat wave that covered Assel.
In the dark mountain, the red flames were like waves. Layer by layer, they surged above the temple and illuminated the surroundings.
The surrounding forest was blown by the hot wind. Not only were the trees swaying, but the fragile leaves also quickly withered and fell to the ground.
Assel appeared from the fire wave. His body was emitting some black smoke. He fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"Tsk …!"
Although the damage he received wasn't high, it still affected him. Assel couldn't help but be speechless.
Then, the voice of the culprit appeared.
