Chapter 163
The destroyed castle atop a mountain where one could see all of Nine Dragon's Island from was called the [Cloud Mountains].
Sumire checked the view from the window.
"As expected, the Cloud Mountains seem to be the best place here."
She took a deep breath.
The scent of the forest calmed her down; it felt like she could do anything.
She stretched her arms; then he looked at SiWoo and HaJin.
"Okay. Then should we start with the closest place?"
"Huh? O-okay" HaJin avoided looking at Sumire.
Just like Sumire said, [Cloud Mountains] was a popular place from where they could check out the surroundings.
Five other people had gathered to fight for control, but only Sumire's party had managed to survive.
She had dealt with all five of them alone. The surprising thing was that the other members hadn't done anything.
Sumire's familiar spirits eliminated all five of them. Even though the familiar spirits were quite impressive, they showed absolute devotion toward Sumire.
"This is a rusty castle that doesn't suit your beauty! Since Master is alive, Lilith is feeling relieved!"
HaJin couldn't get used to seeing how Lilith, who'd eliminated the students by hitting them with her whip, behaved like a dog in front of Sumire.
'What's going on?'
Not only that, but the Durahan was holding a sword with one hand and, with the other, the head of a good-looking blonde person.
"Thanks to my lord having gotten stronger I was able to recover my head. Thanks."
Not only that, but the head talked.
"Crackle-! Crackle!"
The skeletons also seemed happy at Sumire's victory. If there were a hell, it would probably be similar to what he was seeing.
HaJin nervously glanced at SiWoo.
"What. So the death knight has a head now.
"I'm not a nameless death knight anymore. Thanks to my lord's strength, now I have a name. My name is"
"What?! It's scary seeing a severed head talking!"
It seemed like SiWoo had also never seen a severed head talking.
HaJin avoided looking at the Durahan and tried to act strong in front of Sumire. "Hey! Gloomy girl! Y-you're quite impressive!"
Even the prideful HaJin couldn't help but recognize Sumire's strength, but his way of speaking angered Lilith.
"You! How dare you talk like that to Master?!"
As the angry Lilith tried to hit him with her whip
"Lilith! We're all team members! Fighting is strictly forbidden" Sumire tried to stop both.
Lilith frowned at HaJin, but she calmed down at Sumire's orders. "Understood"
"Hngh, succubus, you've saved your neck thanks to the gloomy girl. If you'd swung your whip, I would have used my 'Speed Up' to kick your ass." HaJin stuck his tongue out and kept provoking Lilith.
Sumire smiled awkwardly at them, and then she began explaining the strategy. "In this plan, we will use both of your strategies, SiWoo and HaJin.
Sumire's plan was like this:
They would divide into groups. One group would be in charge of exploring the island and bringing the keepsakes, and the other one would stay there and protect Sumire.
That's why they would be divided into groups. The skeletons and ghouls would be put in both offense and defense.
"The groups will be based on synergy and what you want!"
That's how the offensive team was decided on with HaJin, Lilith, and five undead, which were composed of skeletons and ghouls.
The defense would be left to SiWoo, who could use Clairvoyance and See Through to attack from a long distance. He would be accompanied by the Durahan and a huge number of undead that Sumire had summoned.
"If there are many members in the offensive unit, there's a chance we'll be discovered, so I made it small on purpose."
As expected, Sumire was great with theory and strategy. On top of that, she'd gotten the Necromancy Trait, so she could easily give orders and tell everyone how to move.
"Then, HaJin, please do your best!"
"Okay. I'll be back with many keepsakes, so stay behind and protect the house." HaJin walked away while humming.
As HaJin left, she took out a strand of YuSungs hair which she'd preserved with a lot of caution.
Swoosh-!
A purple light devoured the hair and rose from the ground.
"Crack, crack!"
The skeleton summoned from YuSung's hair looked stronger at first glance.
"What's up with that skeleton?" SiWoo asked with curiosity.
Sumire smiled and replied, "It's YuSung's skeleton!"
Although she was right, one couldn't help but feel chills from the way she smiled and said that.
"Although it's a skeleton It will get all of the keepsakes alone," Sumire mumbled while looking at the skeleton as if it were lovely.
"Huh I I see," SiWoo awkwardly replied.

The [Cultivating River] was one of the best places for Sieges. A castle was built between the rock wall and the river.
Amy filled a coffee pot that ran on mana and water.
"Here, its earl grey! If you want black tea, just tell me."
Sitting on a luxurious-looking white chair with a table before her, EunAh picked up a cup of tea.
Slurp.
Tasting the earl grey, EunAh nodded while making a satisfied smile.
"I've been thinking But I think the best way to do this exam is to do just enough."
"Really? How much is that~?"
"Taking a territory should be enough to put us in the top 10."
The hungry bird got up first to search for food, and the thirsty deer sought out the river first.
EunAh was neither hungry nor thirsty. She'd grown a bit as a hunter, so there was no way something like school would matter to her.
Although, for normal students, scores in school were an important part of their CV, that didn't apply to EunAh.
"Regardless of the result, EunAh, you're still going to be a Seven."
"I just want to get anything that comes this way. Amy, give me a cookie. The one Hunix made."
"The one with coffee cream or choco-chip?"
"Choco chip."
"I understand~ Hehe~ We have the party leader, so we don't need to get desperate about the school points!"
Amy and EunAh were enjoying tea time during an exam.
Renia sweated nervously at the unexpected scene.
'Tea time during an exam?!'
Renia couldn't say anything to EunAh. She'd gotten rid of students and gotten them a territory in the blink of an eye.
Since they'd managed to get a territory, they would be among the top either way, so it was a huge opportunity for Renia.
A huge doubt appeared in Renia's head.
"Renia, what do you want to eat?"
All those thoughts disappeared at Amy's question.
"B-black tea! And a Hunix cookie, and coffee cream, please"
"Okay! Well activate the flare later."
Before she noticed, Renia was enjoying tea time with EunAh and Amy.

FWOOSH-!
Red smoke rose as he ignited a fire with mana.
"That gloomy girl she's asking me to do some weird things," HaJin complained while igniting the flare.
Veins became visible on Lilith's forehead. "You How dare you refer to Master as 'gloomy girl'."
"Maybe she's your master, but she isn't mine," HaJin smirked.
A smile crept onto Liliths face. "Well, I guess there's no need to get angry. I know people like you very well."
HaJin ignored Lilith's words as if mocking her, and Lilith mumbled, "You might look prideful and act strong, but in reality you're just a child." Her voice had changed.
It wasn't the voice of Sumire's familiar spirit but the voice of a succubus who used to live in the dream castle.
"Wh-what?!"
"I'm a succubus. How many people like you do you think I've seen? It's so easy to destroy the minds of people like you that I don't even need to try hard."
HaJin was being overwhelmed by Lilith. He gulped and looked at her.
"A failure that crumbles easily You're the best type of food for us."
Lilith walked toward HaJin and began saying crude things without stopping.
"I know just by looking at your face that you want to have and then right? is also okay. Or maybe "
"Wh-what are you talking about?!" HaJin shouted while blushing.
Lilith's mental attack didn't stop.
"I'm a succubus. So I can see your lust. Those desires aren't dirty. They're natural."
Lilith took a glimpse at HaJin and smirked.

"Although you try to act strong before Master, you can't talk to girls without trying to look strong Well, it's okay. Who's going to like a pervert that wants to do and then and finally ?"
"Cough! Cough!!" HaJin coughed in surprise and then shouted, "I never thought of things like that! Please, stop!"
It was a perfect defeat.
As HaJin declared defeat while making an expression that seemed like he was about to cry, Lilith smiled in satisfaction.
"You should have done that from the beginning."
