    "Attack!" said Shin with a quiet yet commanding voice. The battlefield was ’silent’ due to his appearance, which made his cold voice reverberate in the entire place.

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

    His body was still slowly descending from the air and the gazes of every player within the vicinity were directed at his figure when a series of flickering silhouettes flashed and flew past Shin’s figure in the air.

    The Templars, who were waiting for his signal, immediately made their moves. They leaped into the air and flew straight to the Plagued Behemoth, which was currently trying to regain its footing.

    They successively swung their swords, sending a holy beam or sword waves at the Overlord Monster, bombarding it with powerful attacks.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Consecutive explosions erupted as the attacks landed cleanly on the body of the Plague Behemoth pushing it further by each collision. Adding that the attacks were thrown successively, the knockback effect that they had was stacking up, pushing the monster further down to its knees.

    Unfortunately, the Plague Behemoth was an Overlord Rank Boss for a reason, so making it fall would be very hard.

    Roar!

    The Plague Behemoth released a deafening roar that shook the entire battlefield, making those with average willpower be on their knees.

    But due to the blessings of the archbishops stationed at the backline, the Holy Knights and Templars were able to withstand the roar as they poured on the gap that the monster had created earlier.

    "Release!"

    In the meantime, Cloe, who was leading those at the backline, sent out her signal to which the Holy Mages released the magic spell that they had been preparing since earlier.

    Zong~! Long~! Long~! Read new chapters at novelhall.Co?m

    A huge magic circle suddenly appeared, covering the entire range within the five-hundred-meter radius. This magic circle filled with mystic sacred runes, created a huge prism domain that extended up into the sky.

    This domain had locked everyone within and prevented anyone from getting in.

    Roar!

    Seeing the domain, the Plague Behemoth became even more enraged as it could feel that the plague energy filling the air was slowly being purified by the holy powers that were gradually gathering in this place.

    The Overlord Boss glared fiercely at the group of Holy Mages in the distance, wanting to rip them into pieces.

    Unfortunately, the Templars and Holy Knights were constantly preventing it from advancing, thoroughly pinning it in place.

    Seeing that it was somewhat of an impossible task to eliminate Shin, the higher-ups of each force joining the battle could not help but take a gamble.

    They would send their strongest members to the center of the battlefield and try to join the battle, copying what Shin was doing.

    It was the same for both sides of the Evil Faction and the Righteous Churches, seemingly having a tacit agreement.

    They sent all their people to the frontline without much thought to how Shin was freely manipulating the NPC army despite being someone like them.

    Naturally, Shin realized their intention, but he did not immediately try to eliminate those elite experts who tried to join the battle. He wanted to use them as free labor before throwing them to the side once it was finally time.

    But at the same time, he also could not afford to let them roam on the battlefield freely, so he had to show them who the boss was without showing much of his real power.

    With a signal, he ordered one of the most elite Templars and instructed them to monitor the newcomers, preventing them from doing anything funny later.

    Fortunately, the Templar that he had instructed was one of the loyal devotees of the Church of the Church of Sun and Moon, making it easier for Shin to ’control’ them.

    The templar moved without hesitation and followed his instructors immediately after.

    The elites, who had thought that they were able to sneak into the battlefield much easier, could not help but pause their actions after seeing the powerful Templar blocking their way.

    One of the foolish youngsters wanted to do something stupid by relying on his background and wealth to suppress this so-called NPC and ’punish’ them.

    "How can a mere NPC dare to halt our actions?" asked this youth as two of his companions suddenly pounced on him. One covered his mouth to prevent him from saying anything, while the other held his arms firm so that this fool could not make the matter worse.

    Unfortunately, the situation was already out of hand as Shin shook his head. "I originally wanted to do this in a more ’civilized’ way, but I guess I still have to engrave into their minds their situation."

    "Fortunately, someone has ’volunteered’ to be the perfect example," he added before signaling that Templar.

    Without any hesitation, the Templar swung his sword and cut the foolish player down, killing him with a single strike. That guy did not even have the chance to do anything before he was killed.

    His companions were also included as the Templar Knight did not show any mercy and included them as the ’example’ that Shin was looking for.

    Everyone could not help but halt in their tracks as they stared at Shin warily.

    Shin ignored the looks that they were making as he gestured to them. "If you want to join this battle, then you are more than welcome to join. But since this is now my playground, you must follow my rules if you don’t want to end up like those three fools."

    After that, he ignored the rest of their reaction as he left to resume his post. But not without leaving that powerful Templar behind to ’monitor’ these guys and manage their actions.

    They now became Shin’s free laborer and he was planning to work their *sses hard.
