Chapter 127. That Was Close
Whoosh!
The forest scenery flew past as Kim Do-Joon dashed forward. He was heading toward the enemy’s base. The dense woods were filled with obstacles, but he ignored everything, including twigs and branches.
This will definitely leave a trail, but who cares.
He wasn’t an elf, who could move through forests without a trace. Besides, being spotted wouldn't make much of a difference now. In truth, he was uneasy about moving further away from the academy, where the students were.
However, after considering everything, attacking head-on seemed like the best plan. That was why he’d set Elsar on fire as a distraction.
— Are you sure about this? You're charging into the enemy’s base alone.

If this turned into a prolonged battle, they’d undoubtedly lose. Waiting for the enemy to attack wasn’t an option, as they wouldn’t risk it while holding the advantage. Besides, if a battle broke out at the academy, the students could be caught in the crossfire.
Unlike the elves he had fought before, facing Nereid required undivided attention.
Karlish let out a low sigh.
