Absolute Dweller

After the inspection was complete, I relayed the current situation and operation details to each commander, then personally transported them to their assigned combat zones.

I deployed Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie artillery batteries to the outposts closest to the frontlines and placed them on standby.

There was still time before the main force of the Corrupted Corpses, which were advancing in tight formations, entered our firing range.

‘The problem is the vanguard.’

According to Kim Geon’s reconnaissance, the barbed-wire fences at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) were holding them back for now.

However, barbed wire alone wasn’t enough to completely halt their advance.

In fact, some corpses had already breached the barriers.

The first breach occurred in Paju, but I wasn’t worried about that area.

I had stationed Lee Joon-hyuk at Imjin River.

With his Control Water ability, Lee Joon-hyuk was the most dominant force among all my retainers when surrounded by water.

He was one of the few fighters I had trained up to Level 60, and even when I first met him, his combat sense was unmatched.

And now—

Swoooosh—

The rainy season had begun, and heavy rain was pouring across the entire country.

With the Imjin River swelling and downpours falling from the sky,

It was the perfect battlefield for Lee Joon-hyuk.

In real-time—

[You have hunted a Corrupted Corpse (Lv. 31).]

[You have hunted a Corrupted Corpse (Lv. 29).]

[You have hunted a Corrupted Corpse (Lv. 26).]

……

……

He was dominating the battlefield.

Three massive water dragons rampaged through the enemy ranks, slaughtering the Corrupted Corpses.@@novelbin@@

And these weren’t summoned water spirits—they were fully controlled by Lee Joon-hyuk himself.

‘If he contracts with a water spirit, his power would skyrocket…’

Even during our battles in the Otherworld, his synergy with Elquines had been exceptional.

And yet, I had never pushed him toward a Spirit Master class.
