"You've got to be kidding. ......"

A roar drowns out Rinne's complaints.

Sukuna didn't even have time to agree with Rinne's words and struggled to control her mind that was about to explode.

She resisted the urge to go and help Ryuri, who was about to be torn apart by a giant dragon out of the corner of her eye. Sukuna clenched her teeth as hard as she could and gripped her hands to endure; if this were a reality, her hand would have bled.

An unimaginable pain pierced Sukuna's chest. Still, it was too late. The distance between them is too far apart.

And then, without a chance to do anything, Ryuri had returned to being a polygon shard because of the giant Dragon's attack.

Devastation.

The blow to the raiding party is so fatal, leaving only those words to describe the situation accurately.

The giant Dragon's no-motion wave attack was a little less powerful than the first time it was released, probably because of the short charge time it took.

Nevertheless, no matter how weak it is compared to the first wave, its immense power was enough to instantly kill Erumi, who took a direct hit from close range.

But, if we look at the fact that Erumi was the only one killed by this second wave, it could be said that the damage was relatively small compared to the one that immediately wiped four players earlier.

The wave itself grew weaker as it moved away from its source. If you are at the edge of the field, you can withstand it even without defensive magic; in the best case, if you cast defensive magic, you will not take any damage.

On the other hand, if you are at close range, it is powerful enough to crush guards and barriers, which then eventually will kill you. It was an easy to understand simple attack.

The reason why Rinne survived unscathed was that she had put up a barrier early for Sukuna, who was retreating.

Sukuna, too, was able to slip inside the barrier just in time, so she didn't take any damage. And ironically, thanks to the recovery spell that Ryuri had cast on her, Sukuna's HP had fully recovered.

Besides Rinne and Sukuna, the only other person who was able to break through the wave unharmed was Shuya. He had survived the surge with the range guard arts of his [one-handed shield] skill.

Tetsuya had activated his guard arts, but because he was at close range, the shield itself is broken to pieces. That being said, the damage to Shuya HP was minimum, all thanks to the arts and his shield sacrifice.

Soramaru is now injured because he tried to protect a stray wizard, they were too slow to evacuate in time, and although Soramaru didn't die, one of his legs was taken away, and he was buried in the rubble.

The wizard player was blown away as well, but thanks to Soramaru's devotion, the damage was minimal.

The other two players, Ryuri of the [Corporate Slave special force] and Necro of the [Dragon Fang], took some damage but were not fatally wounded thanks to their position at the edge of the field.

This was also the case with the two men in black whose names were unknown to Sukuna; they both are the healer of the [Dragon's Fang].

And for what it's worth, if we look at the remaining member who is still alive after the wave of destruction was released, there should still be a way to continue the assault.

The problem was that the giant Dragon had started to move right after the wave.

This time, there were only a few seconds to spare, whereas earlier, it had remained motionless for almost a minute.
