Soo-Jungs face brightened considerably. Still keeping her eyes on Ha Song-Su, she telepathically asked El.
-Are you sure?
If her pupil had returned, their situation would improve significantly.
And
I wont have to use my last resort. Soo-Jung was relieved. The last resort was a do-or-die kind of thing, which would cost her the meaning of her existence and the burden her code name, Lucifer, carried.
-...
Disappointingly, Els reply wasnt as satisfactory as she had hoped.
- The connection is faint. Im sure his situation is a bit better now, but that doesnt mean he is in the clear. Or it could be that
Soo-Jung suggested,
-It might be because of that barrier around Eden.
Maybe Baal and the rest had done something about the barrier situation. All in all, their situation was better than a moment ago.
Soo-Jung grinned and continued,
-You all heard El, right? My pupil will be returning soon, so from now on
She kicked the ground; she had almost fully recovered from Ha Song-Sus last attack.
-Just focus on dragging the fight until he is back.
All they had to do was buy him a bit more time, and Soo-Jung believed it was possible.
Now that Ha Song-Su is concentrating on defending himself We can do it! Soo-Jung didnt know why this was the case, but it was a good thing. She didnt expect many problems in dragging this battle out a while longer.

With a frown, Gi-Gyu looked ahead. He was certain he had crossed the gate to enter Eden but found himself in a different place.
The world around him was pitch black, but familiar energy danced around him.
Sorcerous energy
The sorcerous energy in his body was enough to make him explode; horrifyingly, he had stepped into a place with even more of it.
Is it a barrier?
Gi-Gyu suddenly realized that he must be at the border of the enemy barrier that surrounded Eden.
Ugh. Tao Chen was panting beside him. He knelt on the ground and grabbed his heart in agony. Gi-Gyu quickly helped him by grabbing the sorcerous energy around Tao Chen with his hands.
Gi-Gyu was already in pain, so absorbing even more sorcerous energy to help Tao Chen only aggravated his pain.
How could there be a place like this? Tao Chen whispered. He was confused, and for a good reason.
The presidential palaces basement had thicker sorcerous energy, but Gi-Gyu had already absorbed all of it before Tao Chen had made his entrance.
Tao Chen finally rose and asked, Is this Eden?
Instead of answering, Gi-Gyu nodded.
So its a barrier Haa How will we go through it? Tao Chen looked at it hopelessly. Gi-Gyu could tell Tao Chen wasnt doing very well. He sensed that Tao Chens shell was mostly empty, and his magic was very thin. No wonder Tao Chen had almost collapsed the moment he entered this place.
Gi-Gyu looked at the barrier before closing his eyes. Lou, who was wrapped around his leg, turned liquid again.
Whats that? Tao Chen seemed curious.
Instead of answering him, Gi-Gyu handed him Paimon and Bodhidharma.
Tao Chen was confused, but he quickly accepted them.
He obviously knew Bodhidharma, but the other man was a stranger to him. Tao Chen wanted to know his identity, but he didnt ask.
Gi-Gyus voice cracked as he warned, Please step back
Every time his mouth opened, vicious sorcerous energy climbed out of his throat to cause him pain. Swallowing it back down, Gi-Gyu picked up Lou, who had turned into a giant sword again. This time, Gi-Gyu needed to use both hands.
Ugh, he moaned. At the moment, Lou was basically the essence of sorcerous energy. On top of it all, Gi-Gyu had to absorb the toxin mixed into the barrier just now. Just holding Lou right now caused his sync to become more active, and all the toxins began flowing into him.
He needed to do this quickly.
I need to open it! Gi-Gyu wanted to rip the barrier open.
Hurry! Gi-Gyu screamed.
Got it! Tao Chen carried Bodhidharma and Paimon over his shoulders and jumped into the crack. The boiling black liquid from Lou was slowly disappearing.
Gi-Gyu gritted his teeth and moaned, Fenrir
For now, this was all he could do to help.
Haa Haa
After Tao Chen disappeared, Gi-Gyu collapsed to the ground. He was done.
***
Haa Haa Hal, who had never panted before, was huffing now.
Slash.
He swung his halberd toward a demon rushing toward him. His enemy's strength didnt trouble himtheir number did.
Just where Botis whispered. Did all these demons come from?
Countless demons surrounded them. It was rare to see this many demons, even in hell.
This reminds me of the Great War Botis seemed disgusted.
There were so many demons and monsters that killing them seemed pointless. Gi-Gyus creatures had gotten no time to recover, so most of them were exhausted.
Edens undead army had suffered such fatalities that it seemed unlikely it would ever be restored to its former glory.
Kyaaaa! Griffin King dropped from the sky. Hart quickly used his magic to rescue it, but things looked bad.
At this rate, well Hart whispered helplessly. More and more demons came at them in waves. Hals eyes wavered, wondering if this was how his grandmasters home would be destroyed.
Perhaps it was already too late.
The wall built by Brunheart shook, indicating that the battle occurring inside wasnt going well either.
Just then, a familiar growl was heard. It came from a creature that had suddenly dropped in the middle of the enemy army. Everyone turned to see a puppy.
Bi? Hart called out the familiar name.
Bi, in its puppy form, was barking at the enemies.
Bi! Hal immediately moved his steed toward Bi. He didnt even get the chance to wonder why or where Bi had appeared from. All Hal could think about was that his tiny friend was in danger.
Hal ran toward Bi while swinging his halberd when suddenly, a thunderclap rang.
Rumble.
A lightning bolt struck the puppy in the middle of the enemy army, and Bi transformed into a giant wolf.
Bi swung its front paw.
N-no way. Botis voice shook. A mythical creature he had only heard about stood before him.
It was the watchdog of hells throne.
F-Fenrir? Botis whispered, Our powers are recovering
Hals eyes began burning brightly. It wasnt just Halall of Gi-Gyus creatures felt power coursing through them.
At the same time, the skeletons on the ground began standing again. The mantises with ripped limbs started to heal as well. The death knights crawling on the ground rose.
Griffin King also stood up and flew toward Hart, who quickly got on top of the bird.
Counterattack Hart mumbled.
But unlike Hart, Hal raised his halberd high and roared, Grandmaster is back!
Others began chanting loudly as well.
Grandmaster is back!
Grandmaster is back!
Their shouts filled Eden.
Hal ordered, Now! Its time to fight back!
Dun dun dun dun dun.
The entire Eden shook as it made its counterattack.
