Rimuru could hear the voices telling him to snap out, but he just couldn't. Shion, Benimaru, and Souie was going to kill him just now. But the people in front of him prevented that from coming true.

Kim Dokja, Jung Heewon and Yoo Junghyuk parried their weapons and took defense in front of him. Yoo Sangah apeared behind Rimuru and checked if he was okay.

"Rimuru! Are you fine?" Yoo Sangah cupped his face and stared at him. She noticed the lifeless expression he was having.

"Rimuru... What's wrong?" Her voice softens. But the battlefield escalated too quickly for Rimuru to respond.

"If he's not in the situation to fight, take him out of here!!" Those words came out from Yoo Junghyuk's mouth.

Normally, Yoo Junghyuk would've pushed others to fight for their lives. But seeing Rimuru like that... Even he himself didn't know why he said those words.

RAUGHH!!!!

The disaster of storms roared, and the three; Shion, Benimaru, and Souie retreated beside the disaster.

However, Yoo Junghyuk stiffened. He sensed another threat. A deadly one at that.

A white-haired old man appeared beside the disaster. His beard was long, and the horns on his forehead was visibly white and dark at the tip. His sword clung on his hands, and Yoo Junghyuk could feel that any moment, his head would get severed.

Kim Dokja and Yoo Junghyuk frowned.

"These guys aren't normal," Dokja spoke and activated his [Unbreakable Faith].

Yoo Junghyuk unsheated his sword at the same time. His eyes focused on the old man, watching every little movement.

Heewon and Sangah didn't miss the beat. They reached out for their respective weapons and prepared themselves for worse.

[The exclusive skill 'Sage's Eyes Lvl.10' has been activated!]

Yoo Junghyuk's eyes turned gold as he assesed the enemies in front of them. And just as his gut told him, the old man was a swordsman.

[Exclusive Attribute: Demon Swordmaster]

That was the only thing he can gauge from the kijin. Aside from the attribute and race, there was nothing else, no skill, no stats, no name.

It felt like someone or something was blocking his skill again. Like how Kim Dokja and Rimuru avoided it.

Back to the old man, his presence was normal. Compared to the other three kijins, he had a little aura. But that was the reason why he was so wary of him.

Kim Dokja on the other hand also spoke.

"I know your eyeing that old man. Don't be too reckless," Kim Dokja warned.

Yoo Junghyuk grumbled.

"You don't have to tell me."

Kim Dokja focus shifted back to the enemies. As much as he wanted to peak at their attributes, he just couldn't.

[The character is not in the list.]

If only his [Character List] skill could be applied to people other than characters from the novel..

"Be cautious." Suddenly, Yoo Junghyuk spoke.

"The purple kijin is an [Executioner], the red one is an [Ogre King], and the blue haired is a [Shinobi]."

Kim Dokja sighed, feeling a little to no relief as Yoo Junghyuk shared the information. Now they've got an idea who they're fighting with.

"I'll take on the old man," Yoo Junghyuk glared daggers at the old Kijin.

"The rest is up to you three."

Just like that, both swordsman moved to another place to fight.

"I'll take on that purple-haired woman." Jung Heewon declared as her [Flames of Hell] combusted from her sword.

If anyone has a high chance of easily defeating the enemy, it would be Heewon.

The reason why is that the enemies they were facing on was evil, and the white flames she possessed were the eradicator of all kinds of evil.

And out of the three remaining kijins, the purple-haired woman has a stench of wickedness. One that she couldn't ignore.

"In that case, Yoo Sangah will deal with the blue kijin. I'll deal with that red one."

Kim Dokja looked back at Rimuru....

It pained to see him like this.

He doesn't know what caused him to be like that, but he already had a hunch of what was happening.

"Please come back to your senses, Rimuru.."

Yoo Sangah stood up and the three of them locked their eyes with their opponents.

The third battle in Nodeul Island began.

Meanwhile, at the bodies of water surrounding the island, Lee Jinhye's [Ghost Fleet] spread out.

"Fire!"

Her command echoed throughout the battlefield, and the fleet instantly shot the monsters flying down from the cyclone.

Other incarnations fought for their lives as well. Arrows flying left and right, explosions , swords, magic-everything was in chaos.

Everyone could feel the exhaustion after fighting the spawns of the disaster of flood, and they forced themselves to their limit fighting off the spawns of the disaster of storms.

Lee Jihye sensed a bigger threat and she jumped out from the ship and landed beside Lee Hyunsung.

"You feel that too?" Hyunsung gripped his shield as he kept staring at the large figure stomping towards them. Jihye nodded and unsheated her sword.

"It's an orc."

It was no ordinary orc.

The intimidating figure was clad in silver armor, and it wielded a giant sword that would butcher them in half.

It was an [Orc Lord].

"This won't be easy.." Lee Jihye activated her skill [Ghost Walk] and [Demon Slaying].

Lee Hyunsung prepared his stigma in advance.

"Be careful."

The battle of the shore began.

"Masswood! Mirabad!" Shin Yoosung ordered two marine monarch species to freeze the goblins and orcs coming in their way as she stood on top of Queen Mirabad.

Gilyoung on the other hhan, stood at the head of his gigantic mantis, Titano, as it fought the wolves and dragonewts.

"Kill them! Antinus, go forth!" The parasyte queen came out and flew towards the dragonewts at insane speed.

The dragonewts tried to launch [Fiery Breath] at the parasyte queen, but she avoided it and entered a dragonewts body, using it to her control.

"That's it! Kill them!"

Antinus, now possessing a dragonewt, killed the other lizards with its signature fiery breath.

She clawed each one of their faces and blasted fiery breathe at them. One by one, in just a second, the flying enemies started to fall.

"We're going to wi-

[Vortex Crash]

Antinus' dragonewt body exploded to bits and the blood rained down on the river.. And Gilyoung's face.

"W-What the.."

[Vortex Crash]

"Gilyoung!!"

Before the attack could hit the boy, King Masswood and Queen Mirabad counter attacked with their ice breath, and the collision exploded in the air.

Shin Yoosung looked at the boy and saw he was fine, then, she stared at the dragonewt before her.

[Vortex Warrior]

It held a Trident, and it emitted a powerful aura.

"Gilyoung! It's powerful.."

The kids shook with fear, yet they swallowed it down at the thought of everyone else fighting.

"So what?" Gilyoung stood up once more.

"Everyone has their own battles. Everyone is fighting for their own lives. If you want to run, go ahead."

Antinus, who exploded earlier, came back to Gilyoung's hand, still surviving and ready to fight. Not only that, but he already used his [Diverse Communication] to summon more insect monsters.

The boy had a swarm in his side, while the dragonewt leader before him called his own army.

"Who said I'll run away?" Shin Yoosung activated her [Diverse Communication], ordering King Masswood and Queen Mirabad to summon their subjects to fight.

And just in a few seconds, large marine monsters erupted from the river, revealing an army of Ichthyosaurs.

Han Sooyoung stood at the top of the building, eyeing the chaos.

"Should I help them or not?.."

She pondered carefully before shrugging it off.

"Oh well, if my brother dies, it's his fault."

Just as he was about to walk away, a pink haired girl appeared before her, holding a blue flame on her hand.

"... That was a joke. I guess I really have to save that brat."

[Abyssal Flames] danced around her palm as she stared at the pink haired girl and her horns.

"And ask that ugly guy what's going on."
