[End of Match]

[Score tallying has concluded as of the current time]

"Aah, why is it already over?!"

Hong Yeon-hwa exploded in frustration at the voice booming from the sky.

In the end, she failed to capture Iha-yul before the match ended. If she had to pinpoint her mistake, it was that she couldn’t bring down the fortress, the deepest part of the defense, fast enough.

Fighting alongside a magic-user who has a defense is incredibly troublesome and threatening.

While it was fairly easy to break through the barriers left alone, since Iha-yul fought with the defense in place, breaking down the fortress became difficult.@@novelbin@@

Even though Iha-yul had been on the defensive, blocking her movements, it still wasn’t enough to dismantle the fortress.

In the end, the match dragged on and on, and it was over before she knew it.

"And what about you? What the hell have you been doing?!"

Hong Yeon-hwa angrily pointed at Elia, who had been quietly standing by.

Elia, who was being pointed at, tilted her head innocently.

"You’re from the Red faction! Why the hell are you helping Hae-yul?!"

During the battle, Elia had been intermittently casting recovery spells and support magic inside the defense. After the fortress collapsed, she had been helping Iha-yul under his protection, doing so very devotedly.

Elia was from the Red faction, while Iha-yul was from the White faction.

"That’s betrayal! Why are you helping the enemy?!"

"Yeon-hwa, you attacked me first, remember? Even if we’re from the same faction, if it looks like I’m going to die, I’m going to stick to where I can survive."

"...You’ll just resurrect anyway. It’d be more efficient to just take care of it here and resurrect at the main base."

"Since we’re in the Tower of Growth, we should practice like it’s the real deal. It’s not like we can resurrect in reality, right?"

Hong Yeon-hwa fell silent for a moment after yelling.

Honestly, part of her had aimed to target Elia. She was already annoyed when Elia was in the defense, but later, seeing her smile while being protected by Iha-yul, it was even more irritating.

So she had focused more of her fire of destruction toward her.

Then, seeing Iha-yul desperately protecting Elia made her even more upset, and she poured even more fire onto them...

"Hmph. Anyway, that's what I meant."

"Too bad. We could have caught him if we had done better."

Baek Ah-rin, catching her breath, clicked her tongue. If things had gone a little better, she could have restrained Iha-yul with her freezing magic.

"......"

* Kiss.

* Bang!
