[I’m going crazy for real LOL]

(Picture of a long line forming at the Angel’s Shrine)
I came out early in the morning, and is it real that this many people have already gathered?
I matched my timing to enter down to the second, and yet this is the situation?
Why is everyone gathered here instead of taking care of those zombie bastards? Just go and kill them already;;
If the shrine hadn’t been wrecked except for this place about a month ago, I wouldn’t think this would be happening…
This is just too much;;

─ Wow, how many people is that?
─ OMG
─ Seems like more than a thousand
─ Is there a limit on how many can be here?
└ Yep, it’s fifty people per day, or something
└ No way? Forget it
└ As I said, if nobody had just wrecked the shrine…
└ Huh?
└ What’s up with commenting on Lady Lily who’s working hard to hunt angels right now?
└ LOL
└ No, seriously, it’s fine to hunt angels, but why are you blocking other people’s paths? Ah, LOL
└ That’s true (in Lily’s tone)
└ I see you have a point. Suffer it, commoner
└ Damn…
─ I was almost done with my quest, but it got canceled because the shrine was destroyed;;
└ LOL
└ I really like Lily, but this one… yeah, it was a bit much, Lily…
└ No, no, from what I see, Lily is cutting down on those evil betrayers who are teaming up with angels
└ For real LOL serves them right
└ Right? Who told them to make a deal with angels?
└ Wow
─ Isn’t that Lily wrecking it too?
└ Thankfully, she seems to be up to something else right now
└ It looks like she’s running around dealing with the past and stuff.
[So when will Lily finish that?]

Hunting angels is cool and all, but isn’t it a bit much to be stuck here for a month?
You need to do some communication broadcasts or rank battles now and then;;;
Otherwise, just somehow return to Deoen and wipe out the undead or something.
No matter how much it’s wartime, it’s not a real war…

─ For real
─ I don’t really like Lily, but I admit this.
└ True, I’d rather she just cleared all the demons. Honestly, the angels don’t cause any harm, right?
└ For real LOL
└ Demons = Summon a ton of zombies and mess up the continent.
└ Angels = Give powers and quests to stop zombies like that.
└ Huh…?
└ Stop the red pills!!!
└ Lily = Killing angels
└ LOL
└ Seriously, Lily is trying to block a big plan where angels are going to stab her in the back right now.
└ Machi machi
─It’s about time to head back. The Angel Guild has been active too.
─Back to Lily, the zombie slayer~~~~

It’s been a little over a month since the disaster occurred.
The Challenger Alliance, which was busily moving without a moment’s rest, began to gradually regain stability.
The reasons include becoming accustomed to the situation, the combat mastery of the users, and the awakenings of certain users, but the biggest reason was undoubtedly the “Angel” Guild.
They had killed the top-tier undead, “Quadras,” and then launched a full-scale hunt for the undead.
Traveling across the entire continent, they put a lot of effort into slaying numerous undead and even succeeded in taking down “Quini,” who had been a thorn in the side of the West.
“Fourth, Quadras; fifth, Quini; and up next, Exas.”
“We’ve caught three. The order doesn’t necessarily reflect strength; other top-tier undead should be easy to take down as well.”
At the headquarters of the Challenger Alliance.
Thanks to the Angel Guild’s involvement, the alliance, which had been under pressure, gathered the guild masters for a situation report and discussions for the first time in a while.
The guild master of Black Moon, Blac, nodded in agreement.
“Indeed, the help of Angel Guild ‘Raphael’ was significant. Quini was defensive, so we lacked a decisive blow.”
“It was only right to help.”
At that, the monk Raphael, who was seated at the round table, replied gravely.
Raphael’s assistance was crucial in putting an end to nearly three weeks of stagnation in the top-tier undead raid.
Even rankers affiliated with renowned large guilds found it difficult to sever the lifeline of a mid-boss of defensive type.
Raphael clenched her bandaged fist and said.
“Many challengers, including us from the Angel Guild, are working hard. Especially now, we need to all put in extra effort to drive out the undead and demons.”
“Absolutely! Those guys destroyed the inner fortress!”
“That’s right. Now, when we see those corpses, it makes our teeth chatter.”
“When the next top-tier undead appears, we’re going to take it down!”
Many guild masters murmured in agreement with her words.
While most seemed to be angry at the undead, not everyone felt the same way.
“Sure, the hunting rewards are pretty sweet. Hehehe…”
Some were only looking forward to the rewards.
“Y-yeah, I agree. We need to quickly clean up those guys to restore the land that’s become masterless—ah, I mean, destroyed.”
Another was just thinking of benefiting from this war.
Each had different purposes, but at least one thing was the same.
“Demons are enemies!”
Demons are foes that cannot coexist, and regardless of the reason, they are a disaster that must be eradicated.
No matter what the reason is, it is definitely a disaster that must be dealt with.
Creeeak…!!
With the rough sound of the door opening, someone enters.
The expressions of most guild masters darken at the sight of him, but he pays no mind to such gazes.
The kind of user that a normal user would definitely avoid.
“Hey~ Am I late?”
“If you’re late, please have a seat, Jeokpeim.”
“Come on! You’re making a fuss over just 10 minutes late!”
Jeokpeim.
Ranking second among raiders, Banded was performing at a level that could easily claim the first position, given that the Grim Reaper had somewhat fallen from grace.
Despite being a raider who kills, plunders, and betrays as if it were a daily meal, he could enter this meeting because of his special status.
“I’ve been busy catching corpses again today. You should recognize my hard work!”
Despite being a raider, he did not betray the users.
Even if he wouldn’t risk himself fighting for other users, he did not engage in the act of ‘raiding’—killing and stealing from other users.
Considering that most raiders acted like that after the disaster began, it made sense for Jeokpeim and his guild to join the alliance meeting.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean all past deeds are cleared up.”
“Yes, yes. Please sit down.”
“Alright, alright~”
Instead of sitting at the prepared seat by the Alliance Leader Knight, Jeokpeim sat in the central position where all the guild leaders could see him at a glance.
Most guild masters looked at his actions with displeasure, but they couldn’t find a valid reason to say anything.
“Hmm…”
There weren’t many guilds that had killed more dead ones than Jeokpeim.
“Is there any news on the top-tier dead one?”
“Other than the third dead one, Terni, in the south, there’s nothing.”
“Who’s holding it?”
“Lady Yena, Lord Leo, and most of the guilds from the south are working together. Also, the ‘Clown’ whom Lady Lily met is still unconfirmed.”
“Really?”
He chuckled softly, turning the pen in his hand.
As he showed a strange attitude, Neris, the guild master of the Magic Tower, glared at Jeokpeim.
“Do you have something to say? If you do, just say it.”
“No, I was just curious.”
Tap.
He put the pen down.
“Actually, I wasn’t late; I overheard some talk outside.”
“What?”
“What’s going on right now…!”
“No, no, listen. It’s about Lily. It feels like everyone is excluding her from the conversation.”
Most of the Guild Masters in the conference hall maintained silence.
They were sincerely devoted to the eradication of disasters and had actually accomplished countless tasks, including providing various information and supplies, as well as hunting the undead.
If you only look at this, it wouldn’t be strange to call them ‘heroes,’ but…
“Honestly, isn’t it a bit odd?”
“Please don’t speak carelessly!”
“No, everyone knows. That guy is a zombie, it’s not normal.”
You don’t like angels? Fine.
The Hidden Peace promises great power but also brings penalties, and most of the Guild Masters present have their own flaws as well.
Right off the bat, Jeokpeim had a fatal weakness of not being able to use ‘magic.’
“What, if you’re speaking in a strange tone or have gone mentally haywire, that’s okay, but this is too pathological.”
“So what if it is?”
“I like Lily too. But let’s acknowledge the truth.”
Drrrk.
Jeokpeim stood up from his seat and lifted his pen.
As everyone’s gaze concentrated, holy power surged from his pen.
The Guild Masters’ eyes widened, and especially the Angel Guild looked at him in shock.
“I’m not saying we should belittle Lily’s actions. I just mean we should recognize each other and do what we have to do.”
“Let’s get help from the angels?”
“Exactly! Honestly, let’s lay it out. Angels have a ‘good’ image, right? They don’t actually harm anyone. Stop acting like scared kids worrying about being scolded by Lily for doing something. Huh?”
“……”
“You can just do it. I honestly don’t understand the whole thing about breaking the shrine. It’s like seeing angels as worse than demons. It seems to me like self-hate hysteria—”
KA-BOOM!!!
The round table collapsed.
Everyone’s attention turned to the epicenter of the explosion, where Uriel stood.
Uriel brushed his fists and glared at Jeokpeim.
“Hey. Choose your words carefully.”
“…Good grief.”
“Good grief? Do you want to die?”
Uriel pulled out a massive hammer wrapped in holy power.
“……”
Jeokpeim silently sat back down.
