There are a total of 9 zones within the Ludenark School’s domain.
In terms of space itself, many more zones could be created, but there are only 9 spaces that Ludenark directly developed and ‘designated’ as zones.
And these 9 zones can be divided into 3 larger areas.
-One is the area managed by regular school members or executives.
Zones 1 through 5 fall into this category.
In these zones, mostly manufactured monsters or experimental beings like chimeras from Ludenark pour out.
Since so many experiments were conducted here, the school didn’t pay much attention to it.
It’s essentially an abandoned area, and school members sometimes called it the ‘temporary zone’.-Another one is the area owned by Vice School Head Dave.
This is where the real management of the Ludenark School begins.
Zone 6 <Land Touched by Death> falls into this category.
It’s a place full of undead and manufactured commanders, and it’s also where necromancers affiliated with the school have settled.
It was actually one of the core zones where quite a few school members resided.
Especially deep inside, there was a <Maze Touched by Death>… Which gave the feeling of encompassing multiple zones despite being a single zone, due to the presence of the largest maze trap within the domain.
-And the last one is the area owned by School Head Flinklo.
This corresponds to Zones 7 through 9.
It’s the zone where most of the school members reside, and it’s considered the most difficult area to conquer in Ludenark’s domain.
However, as already confirmed in Dave’s Zone 6, the number of zones isn’t very important.
Anyway, while the domains are slightly different, the characteristics of the zones are all similar, and if you succeed in conquering one of them, the probability of succeeding in conquering the next zone increases.
In other words, to put it simply….
“There’s no need to stay here anymore. Kekeke.”
School Head Flinklo, sitting on the throne, said in a low voice.
Dave, who was next to him, quietly bowed his head.
“You’re right.”
“Dave, did those humans disable all the magic traps in Zone 7?”
“…Shamefully, yes.”
“Kekeke. Then there’s even less reason to stay here. The magic traps in Zones 8 and 9 will be easily disabled too, and those humans must have hunted the undead and golems here several times already.”
Dave couldn’t refute Flinklo’s words.
…Because they were all correct.
The reason Ludenark’s domain becomes tricky from Zone 7 onwards is due to the ‘magic traps’ and the presence of high-level adapters.
Although the types are slightly different, the subsequent zones also have similar forms.
If the human alliance was advancing through such stages, conquering Zones 8 and 9 would ultimately be just a matter of time.
“So we’re going first, Dave.”
“…Yes.”
Although Flinklo hadn’t adapted to the system for long, he understood its structure better than most human Holders.
It wasn’t for nothing that he had founded and maintained the Ludenark School for a long time.
“Kekeke. Are you ready to accept?”
“I’ve always been ready.”
“Good. When you’re summoned, you’ll feel like we’ve become one.”
What preparation is he talking about?
Perhaps humans who don’t know this will meet their death in the pain of ignorance.
Having finished the final plan to punish humans like that…
“Let’s go, kekeke.”
School Head Flinklo and Vice School Head Dave took their steps.
Zone 7, <Ancient Resting Place>.
To bestow calamity upon the humans gathered there.

“There should be a base camp set up at the entrance of Zone 7. Go there and request support from Association President Kwon Young-hoon. We need elite forces from the three major clans.”
As soon as I realized that additional enemy forces were placed in front of us, I selected personnel to return.
Among the archery unit personnel, those skilled in footwork runes and able to quickly deliver messages.
These people had to be sent to the base camp to bring all the S-grade Holders from the three major clans.
In a situation where we couldn’t know the extent of the power of Vice School Head Dave and the presumed Faction Leader, we couldn’t just leave the best skilled people in our allied forces idle at the base camp.
Of course, those selected showed expressions of obvious regret.
It seemed they didn’t like withdrawing when they were right at the scene of history.
But it couldn’t be helped.
As long as they belonged to the allied forces, my orders were absolute, and this was a support request that had to be made for the success and safety of the allied forces.
“Understood, Master.”
“We’ll deliver the news as quickly as possible!”
After the three members of the archery unit left.
I gathered all the allied forces personnel and conveyed the current situation.
“Now, the final conquest of Zone 7 remains.”
The expressions of the allied forces personnel, whose eyes were focused on my mouth, were grave.
They, too, were intuitively realizing that the current situation wasn’t entirely good.
“However, this conquest might be the last of the entire Room of the Deserter conquest. That’s because traces of the School Head and Vice School Head of Ludenark, who were known to have appeared in the current world before, have been found in front of us.”
Vice School Head Dave.
And the nameless School Head of Ludenark.
We can’t be certain how much power they have secured.
But one thing is clear… They, who have come this far abandoning the zones after Zone 7, are now planning to engage in an all-out war with our allied forces.
After finishing this battle, the long conquest of <Room of the Deserter> might come to an end.
“We won’t wait or retreat. There’s nothing good about giving them time, the same goes for us.”
The allied forces personnel nod firmly as they look at me.
We don’t know what they might do if we retreat for a moment or postpone the conquest.
Perhaps they might invade the current world again, taking advantage of their free desertion.
To block all those variables, we had to move forward.
“Then, we’ll depart as well.”
The final order was given to the allied forces.

[A space hidden in the ‘Ancient Resting Place’ is revealed. You step into the special zone, ‘Where Evil Bloomed’. Your magical power and mental state greatly decrease!]
[The special power of the ‘Clear Mind’ rune maintains the target’s clear mind. It remains unshaken by any curse or abnormal state.]
At the end of Zone 7 <Ancient Resting Place>, a new space appeared.
Just like how <Maze Touched by Death> came out of <Land Touched by Death>, a completely new form of space was being revealed here as well.
<Where Evil Bloomed>.
From the name itself, the identity of the Ludenark faction is clearly revealed.
And the monsters welcoming us as soon as we entered.
Grooooowl-!!
Graaaaaah-!!
They were ‘Golems’ with light-emitting magic stones and jewels embedded in their hearts.
Looking at those golems occupying the ground as far as the eye could see, I realized.
‘The golems in Baroness Caroline’s territory… They all came from here.’
Ludenark’s forces are largely divided into three.
Chimeras, Undead, and Golems.
All three have the commonality of being manufactured monsters, but they are monsters with different characteristics and various abilities.
And among these, the most useful in many-to-many battles would be the Golems.
They could lead the battle with overwhelming durability and strength.
The Ludenark guys knew this too, which is why they brought out those golems first.
‘It’ll be a bit tricky if we leave it like this.’
The ground is full of golems.
We can’t just ignore them and pass by.
Although they’re a bit slow, they’re still creatures with massive levels of power.
To reach where the enemy’s core forces are, we had to break through these golems somehow.
‘Okay. Then let’s go to the sky.’
If so, we go to the sky.
If the golems are filling the ground and blocking the way, we just need to go up higher into the air to clear the path.
I immediately called Tyrbon with [Call of Contract].
-It’s been a while, Master.
‘Yes, Tyrbon. You know the situation, right?’
-I remember what you told me before. I’ll fly right away.
‘Let’s go.’
Tyrbon became serious in the most important situation.
It spread it’s wings, showing a sharper spirit than ever before.
I immediately mounted on top of it.
And as we began our vast flight, I shouted.
“Allied forces special unit, pay attention to my flight!! I’ll make a path with Tyrbon, just follow along!”
The special unit was composed of those with the highest skills even within the allied forces, which only selected elites.
Notably, S-grade Holders Park Ji-hwan and Yoo Eun-seol, masters of mid-tier clans who joined as mercenaries, internal hunt team leaders of <Evil Hunter>, and various other Holders with special abilities…
These people will move with me towards where the enemy’s core forces are.
And.
“All other allied forces personnel, form ranks and advance! The goal is to cover the special unit so they can move safely! And to annihilate the enemy forces visible before your eyes!!”
Swoosh-! Clang!
Whoosh-!
Screech-!
At my order, shouted at the top of my lungs, all members of the allied forces get into battle formation.
The warrior classes take out their own weapons and shields.
The mage classes chant spells, and the archer classes nock arrows and draw their bowstrings.
The assassin classes have already occupied the rear of the golems and are starting the battle first.
Everyone was already aware of what they had to do.
Only battle.
And victory.
What lay before us now was only a brilliant and noble victory.
“All troops-!!”
As if announcing that beginning.
Tyrbon spreads its enormous wings wide.
The divine sword in my hand also points hotly towards the front.
“Advance…!!”
The all-out war between the allied forces and the Ludenark school began.
