Three Lords appearing all at once.

For Mihael’s team and the viewers, the situation that was no different from pure pandemonium came as a massive shock.

“Th-Three Lords at once...?!” 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

“Th-This is insane!?”

“H-Haaah!?”

Mihael’s team could barely even breathe properly under the pressure of the three Lords that had suddenly appeared, and it showed all too clearly.

Even the viewers, who were only watching through a screen, were so shocked they could feel that pressure coming through completely unfiltered.

-What the hell is all this?????

-The 100th floor wasn’t the end!??!?

-Abyss, seriously??? What even is this place???

-There are three Lords in there?????

-??????????

-Can you even win against that???????

-Aren’t they fucked????????

-Wow what is all this???????

-But the backup teams and the Demon King are calm though?

-They’re actually smiling instead......?????

-They’re smiling in this situation?

Even in the middle of that mess, Seong, who was smiling instead of tense, and the backup teams, who were extremely composed, maybe because they had been briefed on the situation in advance.

The viewers were instead looking at them and feeling like they were the abnormal ones.

Regardless of skill levels, the fact that they were acting calm in such an unexpected situation was nothing short of astonishing.

Those with real skill really are on a different level.

That was what the viewers were feeling when—

Seong gave a wry smile, as if troubled, and said:

“Originally, I was going to summon all my vassals and have them help us as allies, but...”

Hearing him trail off like that, the viewers immediately started spamming question marks.

-?????????

-Does that mean he can’t summon his vassals????

-Then they really are fucked, no?????

-He’s not smiling, he’s lost his mind????

-Then what do they do??????

Even while everyone was freaking out, Seong calmly explained in an unruffled voice.

“They’re telling me I can only summon one.”

As he said that, Seong looked at the system message floating in front of his eyes.

[Because of the Abyss Lord’s 『Abyss』, interdimensional connections are unstable.]

[Even if you open the 『Gate of the Underworld』, you can only summon a single vassal.]

Maybe he should have summoned his vassals in advance in preparation for something like this.

Well, it was a shame, but there was nothing he could do about it.

One single vassal.

If he could only summon one, then the choice of who to summon was already decided.

Of course, Seong opened the Gate of the Underworld, and footsteps could be heard from within.

Calm, lonely, and more elegant than anything else in existence.

Tap, tap, tap.

With the sound of heels striking the ground, what emerged from the turquoise portal was a voluptuous woman with crimson hair, walking out with elegant steps while wearing a black dress and holding a black parasol.

The captivating woman gave Seong a faint smile and said:

“Isn’t it a little too long since you last summoned me?”

“Ahem, I did explain the situation.”

“Hm, even so, I’m happy you summoned me.”

Her seductive voice, even without a single trace of coquetry mixed into it, sounded overwhelmingly alluring, and the viewers could only lose their minds at that voice and that appearance.

Helena’s appearance had that kind of impact.

-Wow;;;;;

-That unnie is here;;;

-I thought I was watching a movie for a second......

-She really is pretty.

-For real......

-If Luna is just “pretty,” that vassal is straight-up beautiful.

-It’s like the word beautiful was invented just for her???

-Wow......

-But can they really fight with just one vassal?

-Right? At best, isn’t that just like adding one more Almighty rank?

-An Almighty rank is crazy strong, sure, but this is a lord-tier boss...

-Huh? What the hell is that?????

Everyone kept admiring her.

But the situation itself hadn’t improved in the slightest.

And yet—

The viewers clearly saw it.

The instant Helena walked out of the Underworld, all three Lords that had been released from their seals shuddered at the same time, as if something had gone very wrong.

As if they had just come face-to-face with something they absolutely should not have met.

All three of them shook as if steeped in fear.

The viewers muttered in confusion as they saw that.

-??????? What is this?

-Did they just get scared???

-They flinched at the Demon King’s vassal???

-Guess that vassal is something serious???

-Well, obviously, if he can only summon one and chose her???

While everyone was busy speculating like that—

Seong was quickly assessing the situation.

From the Abyss Lord, to the Destruction Lord, and finally to the Despair Lord.

Their forms and appearances were all different.

If he had to rank how troublesome they were—

‘Despair, Abyss, then Destruction?’

Based on Helena’s insanely strong swordsmanship, it should have scaled Abyss, Destruction, then Despair in terms of difficulty, but surprisingly, Destruction looked comparatively less troublesome.

So he quickly started thinking and gave out orders.

“I’ll take the Despair Lord. Backup teams, all of you together, take the Destruction Lord. And Helena...”

“The Abyss, right? That’s what I was going to pick anyway. It suits me perfectly.”

Helena answered with a seductive laugh.

And since they were already tense from listening to Seong, the three backup teams—Luna’s team, Kyou’s party, and Embris’s party—couldn’t get any words out, but they all nodded their heads.

Given the oppressive pressure the Destruction Lord was giving off, even with all three teams rushing him, he might still be too much to handle.

After they finished deciding who would face whom, Seong moved first.

The technique Seong used was taken from the second form of Helena’s insanely strong swordsmanship—he extracted the power of the Abyss through the Faceless Lord’s power and temporarily manifested a Lord’s strength.

The moment he unleashed the power of the Abyss—

All three Lords could not help but be shocked by the sudden turn of events.

The power of the Abyss was supposed to belong solely to the Abyss Lord, but the Abyss flowing so naturally from Seong made the Abyss Lord try to use his power to block it.

All Abysses belonged to the Abyss Lord.

No matter how much Seong used it through the Faceless Lord, the Abyss Lord had the upper hand.

And just as he was about to cut Seong off—

“Hm, you’re supposed to play with me, Tyron.”

A seductive voice rang out as the area filled with the abyss.

Because of that, even though the Abyss Lord’s location was on the same floor’s Abyss, the abyss caused the dimensional layers to split, so they could no longer interfere with each other—and the same thing happened to Seong and the Despair Lord standing before him.

They were in the same Abyss, but the two areas had become dimensionally different spaces.

One place, but divided into three separate spaces.

However, one location functioned like a passageway that connected to all three, and that spot was exactly where Mihael’s team was standing.

Thanks to that, Mihael’s team was likewise located inside the Abyss, and could see all three places at the same time.

And they could read that in the system messages too.

[The space within 『Abyss』 has been divided.]

[You remain located in the original 『Abyss』 and can move to either the Abyss layer or the layer of the abyssal depths.]

[Your current location is a safe zone.]

“Ah, ahh, i-it looks like we can see everything.”

Seeing the message that their safe zone setting allowed them to align themselves with any one of the three spaces at will, Mihael said that.

Thankfully, it meant they could still broadcast everything.

So the viewers muttered in relief.

-Wow thank god;;;

-Being able to see all three is insane value.

-But can we really see them though??? They’re so fast.

-lololol what’s the point of all three being open if we can’t see anything.

-lololololol we seriously can’t see a thing.

Just like the viewers said.

They could watch, but they couldn’t really see.

From the moment the battle began, Seong’s movements ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) and Helena’s movements, and the movements of the Abyss Lord and the Despair Lord, were not something you could easily follow with the naked eye.

It was a bit of a problem for Mihael, who had to do the play-by-play commentary.

But it was fine.

Because out of the three, there was at least one place where they could see something.

“In any case, all we have to do is watch the backup teams!!! Isn’t today’s content about deciding which backup team contributes the most??? And the only ones we can actually see are the backup teams, so...”

-I feel like that last part was the main point, lololololol

-lololol tbf he’s not wrong;;

-lolololol It’s not that he can’t see the others, okay!

-Fr though lol

-Fr though lol

The viewers agreed with Mihael and went along with him.

Honestly, you needed to actually see something to comment on it.

So Mihael immediately focused his view on the backup teams’ space.

After all, a public raid against a lord-tier boss was basically being shown for the first time.

There was no way he could just sit still and do nothing while witnessing a scoop like this.

As Mihael started his commentary—

Unfortunately, everyone in the backup teams had forgotten there was supposed to be some kind of contribution competition.

This was no time to be thinking about things like that.

The Destruction Lord looked like a warrior with bulging muscles.

Except his upper body was completely bare, his slightly pale skin tinged with a faint bluish hue, a cloth sack like a prisoner’s hood pulled over his head, and a thick rope, the kind you’d use for a hanging, looped around his neck.

His lower body wore ragged white pants like a prison uniform, and even that didn’t look ordinary.

He was big, sure, but compared to other monsters or bosses he wasn’t that huge.

He was just a humanoid figure, about 2.3 meters tall—basically just a very tall human—but the backup teams were feeling more pressure from him than from any other boss they’d faced.

Even though he wasn’t actively radiating his aura, the shape of the energy rising off him like shimmering heat waves was terrifying enough.

‘...We can’t let this slip.’

Luna, tense to the extreme, thought that to herself as the Destruction Lord casually scratched at his rope-bound neck.

Bwooooooooom———!!!

A massive sonic boom rang out as the Destruction Lord moved, and his speed went far beyond anything they had imagined.

Luna, who had been ready in advance, moved to cut in front of the Destruction Lord and launched a kick at his upper body, pouring a ton of Primordial Might into it.

Seeing the fast kick flying in from the left, the Destruction Lord lifted his arm as if it was nothing and blocked the kick.

Kwooooooooom————!!!

As Primordial Might and the power of Destruction spread out in all directions, the air shook for a moment and the surroundings looked like they were warping, but the Destruction Lord just stood there as if nothing had happened—and instead, Luna, who had thrown the kick, bounced away.

Boooooooom———!!!
