"Leader Faris, are you okay?"
"So far so good."
Currently Izrail, Faris, Leo, and Karen were lifting the device together.
It wasn't just Dahlia who felt that disassembling and reassembling it every time it was going to be used was troublesome, so Dahlia wondered if they could just transport it, and they agreed with that idea.
At first they wanted to use a car, but that would also be troublesome because there might be difficult roads with such a large device on the roof of the car.
Then if they flew, it would also be difficult because they had to keep the device from falling, and they themselves couldn't rush to find another Dimensional Crack.
Why didn't Dahlia, Kania, and Anjie help? Anjie definitely couldn't, Kania had a small body, while Dahlia not much different and still kids. So when Faris asked about it, Karen immediately refused and didn't let the three of them help.
Besides, the three of them had their own tasks. Anjie had to direct them to their destination, while Dahlia and Kania had to guard against monster attacks.
"There's an automatic feature, and the monsters around have also been cleared." Faris thought while glancing at Karen who was just making excuses.
After closing several Dimensional Cracks, they decided to go back because it was almost midnight.
"Eh?, the construction hasn't even been going on for a week, right?. Why is there already a guesthouse here?" Faris was a little surprised when he saw the 2-story building in front of them.
"They're going to stay here until the project is finished. So they decided to build some residences because they don't want to be outside... That's what they said." Dahlia replied.
"Wow... They're really cunning."
"Well, at least we can use it too and don't have to build a tent." Leo said.
They dismantled their tools and stored them properly, then they went straight to sleep for about 2 hours~
After resting, they intended to continue their work, but their previous actions changed the situation.
"Since all these monsters came for magis energy, they fought over it and finally gathered in one place because we closed some of the Dimensional Cracks, right?" Izrail said.
They watched the Dimensional Crack that had grown in size, and could still survive even though its energy was absorbed by dozens of monsters at once.
"Now what? We could attack them, but others might still come."
"Hmm... We have to divide the group into two teams. One is tasked with being bait and luring the monsters away, and the other is tasked with closing the Dimensional Cracks." Faris said.
"Then you guys go. The one who suggested it will also come, right?" Karen said.
"Eh?"
Izrail and Leo provoked by attacking almost all the monsters. After that, they acted weak and pretended to run away, and didn't forget to bring Faris who was about to try to refuse to come~
After almost all the strong monsters there were taken away and only one Elite-tier monster and several Common-tier monsters were left, Dahlia and Karen immediately went forward to attack. Meanwhile, Kania provided support by shooting monsters and keeping a safe distance.
When Dahlia faced an Elite-tier monster alone while Karen and Kania finished the fight with the Common monster, she felt that it was not difficult if she just held back.
A few minutes later, the fight was over, and they immediately reinstalled the device.
Dahlia looked at the emptied magical energy tank, then she saw the process of the Dimensional Crack energy being absorbed.
"I think this will take longer than before."
"Yes. And it seems like we can't get through it calmly, huh." Karen replied as she turned to the monsters that were starting to come from a distance.
Leo, Faris, and Izrail only lured away the monsters that were around there, but the range of the Dimensional Crack's spread and the monster's detection ability were not, so it was not impossible for the monsters to come back... Especially if they were going there from the start.
"Let's take back the position."
"Okay... I'll destroy them all!" Karen was a little annoyed, but she also looked a little excited.
"Karen, don't overdo it. Your previous weapon was broken, right? You should hold back a little this time."
"That's right."
At the same time...
Izrail, who has a strong and big attack, faced a large monster. As for Leo and Faris, they both faced monsters that were quite small or human-sized, because it suited their fighting style better.
In battle, Faris rarely spoke, he only focused on playing his spear and facing all the opponents around him.
His long spears can reach slightly further areas, but like any long weapon, they have a weakness when facing opponents who are too close.
But that doesn't matter because when that happens, Leo will come to provide support... The two of them did a duet fight and finished off every monster that approached.
"Huh... Finally finished. Everything is okay?" Faris said.
"Yeah, no problem."
"We're back."
"What's wrong?"
"It seems like the girls' condition is getting worse." Izrail brought up a hologram that displayed a map with dozens of moving red dots.
"They're coming again."
"The magis energy at night is thinner, so that amount of magis energy must be quite striking."
"I knew this wouldn't be that easy." Faris said.
The two of them hurried back.
When they arrived, they saw Anjie hiding on the balcony, and Karen who was alone facing the monsters that came.
"Where are the two kids?" Izrail asked as he opened the way to gather with Karen.
"The number of monsters is increasing, so Dahlia and Kania went to lure some Elite-tier monsters away."
"And left you alone?"
"Dahlia believed you would come back right away after defeating all the monsters you brought earlier."
When Leo heard that, he was a little surprised, and hit a Common-tier monster that had just approached.
He then looked at the dozen or so monsters surrounding them, then looked at Izrail. "I think with him around, that's enough."
"I'll go help them."
"Reiqi, wait!" Faris tried to stop him, but Leo had already left. "Geez, at least ask first which way they are going."
*****
Leo was currently chasing after Dahlia and Kania with a feeling of pressure. Firstly because he didn't know where to look, and it was awkward to go back. And secondly because he was worried.
A C-rank soldier was said to be enough to deal with Elite-tier monsters, but that sometimes made some people overconfident.
The strength of an Elite monster was indeed equal to a C-rank soldier, but that meant the odds of winning were only 1:1, which also meant a C-rank soldier would have to use all his might or fight tooth and nail if he wanted to win.
Dahlia and Kania had not been C-rank soldiers for long, and he who had been in battle for a long time, knew that they had no chance of winning.
