But look at the expression on his face now.

They looked like they were facing a formidable enemy; the tension was practically written all over their faces.

--at this time.

The contract document in Luos's hand instantly shone with a golden light.

"This is... the game has already started?!"

"Yes, actually, those people from 'NoName' arrived at our community's gates five minutes ago. But please rest assured, we have prepared all the necessary soldiers and blessings. Those few greenhorns simply can't handle it—"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up... take those soldiers to the first floor to guard them!"

Louss, his eyes wide, suddenly roared at the sergeant major.

"I told you to hurry up and go!"

"Okay, okay!!"

The sergeant major endured these unimaginable changes one after another, yet he had no choice but to grit his teeth and face it all.

So he had no choice but to return to the first floor alone.

However, even until he left, he still couldn't understand why Rouss's temperament had suddenly changed so drastically.

…But in reality, even Luos himself was unaware of this.

"hateful…!!"

Throughout the entire second floor, only Luos sat alone in the empty hall.

Sweat began to slowly drip down my back and the area around my forehead.

Luos felt his blood boiling, as if he were trembling with a kind of hot, surging sensation.

But he knew very well that it was definitely not the feeling of excitement that came from anticipating the arrival of the Gift Game.

On the contrary.

The feeling that Rouss was experiencing was by no means a good emotion.

"What...what exactly happened?"

He couldn't understand what was happening to him.

All I know is that I only think about 'NoName'.

—Especially about that white-haired, red-eyed person.

Whenever I think about these things.

Your mind and body will instantly become incredibly tense.

What could be the reason for this?!

"I'm trembling... Am I afraid of that guy? What a joke! I, Ben Luos, am... am the leader of 'Perseus'!!"

That can't be.

He forcibly suppressed all his emotions, focusing solely on crushing the ridiculous 'NoName'.

Luos continued, sitting alone in the lifeless hall.

It's impossible to lose.

“That’s right… I’m the kind of man who even recruited the Demon King to his side. No matter how powerful those guys are, they could never survive under my command… or the hands of the ‘Protoss’.”

pat.

Place your hands on either side of the seat.

Luoss calmed himself down, leaving behind only a face that remained as calm and composed as possible.

"Just you wait, you bunch of... you worthless 'NoName's'!"

——————————————————————————————————————

The game of grace with 'Perseus' has officially begun.

So, the number of members who volunteered was six.

While Jin, as the leader of the community, also needs to participate, he is not required to intervene in matters such as attacks.

"Let's arrange the work."

Before officially entering the palace, everyone gathered together again.

Looking at the contents of the contract, Izayoi Sakamaki began to ponder.

"Can't we let the organizers see us?"

"Moreover, the other party also seems to possess the gift of being able to conceal their aura, or even become completely invisible."

Asuka Kudo interjected with this remark, but Izayoi Sakamaki gave a knowing smile.

"I saw through this a long time ago, young lady."

"Is that Hades's invisibility helmet?"

Before Izayoi Sakamaki could reveal the answer, one of them had already given it to him.

It's a pedestrian crossing where someone is leaning against the wall with their hands clasped together.

"According to legend, it seems to be a helmet made by giants whose existence is unknown. It is an invisibility helmet that can completely hide one's presence when worn... or so it seems."

"Oh...? You actually know these things."

"Even an eight-year-old knows these legends and stories. What value can they possibly have?"

Even so, the so-called fairy tales are basically non-existent in this miniature garden.

Hades' helmet, Hermes' boots, and a scythe capable of slaying even gods.

These three gifts are all real things.

And they do indeed exist in the hands of the organizers of this game of gifts.

"They mentioned things we can't let those guys see, right?"

Kakine Teitoku re-examined the rules and information on the contract document.

“It’s not just that those guys can become invisible; we also have to avoid being detected by them while they’re invisible.”

"...That sounds really difficult."

"An invisibility helmet? If we can get our hands on one, we can just put it on ourselves."

There is no rule that stealth helmets can only be used by the organizers.

If NoName and the others can successfully steal Hades' helmet, they won't have any problems concealing their bodies.

However, this also presents practical challenges.

"Hmm...that's certainly true, but how exactly do we find the 'Perseus' when it's invisible?"

"And if you are seen, you lose, which makes it extremely difficult to even make a move."

For Izayoi Sakamaki, detecting a hidden enemy isn't particularly difficult, but for Asuka Kudo and Yo Kasukabe, it's probably still quite a challenge.

"...Okay."

But it was under these circumstances that...

Hatsune Miku, who had been standing to the side without saying a word for a long time, smiled and looked at everyone.

"There's really no need to worry about this. Whether it's the other person's invisibility or our being seen, we don't need to pay special attention to it."

"Eh?"

"What do you mean by that...?"

Kasukabe Yo and Kudo Asuka each found this sentence somewhat difficult to understand.

"Oh... so you have a solution here?"

Izayoi Sakamaki, on the contrary, became interested.

Hatsune Miku chuckled, then turned her head to look at Accelerator to the side.

"If it's just about making everyone invisible, that should be achievable, right?"

The three of them immediately turned their curious gazes toward the first person.

Then Accelerator simply snapped his fingers.

Light is such a phenomenon.

In an instant, the light emanating from the three people began to shift and become displaced.

“Huh—?!”

"How...how did they do that?"

"Haha! It's just changing the curvature and refraction of light? No, no, that alone can't be considered invisibility. Could it be a more profound technique?"

Rather than changing the refraction of light, it's more accurate to say that it directly shifted the vectors of the three individuals themselves.

It was as if it was spreading its own existence, so that not only light, but also other more conceptual things could easily pass through the three people's bodies.

simply put.

It's like shifting the vector of 'presence'.

This might be the true meaning of 'invisibility'.

"You don't need to worry about how to see when the opponent is invisible. Next, we just need to arrange our respective combat ranges."

Hatsune Miku revealed the personnel arrangement plan that she had already thought of in advance.

"Miss Asuka, Miss Yao, I'm sorry, but could you two please help me take care of all the enemies in the first floor?"

"Ah...that's no problem."

"Well, although I am a little unwilling, we must put the big picture first. But next time, we must leave the main course for you to finish."

The three girls looked at the others, and Izayoi Sakamaki smiled.

"So, you're saying we get to have the main course last?"

"Don't underestimate them, Mr. Izayoi. Although I know everyone is very strong, their subordinate has a trump card called the Demon King..."

"Alright, little one, I already knew this without you having to tell me!"

With great interest, Izayoi Sakamaki immediately looked in the direction of Accelerator and Teitoku Kakine.

"Alright...Are you two ready?"

"what."

The first and second people from the other world each smiled.

then.

--boom! ! !

In a mere instant, the gates of the enormous white palace were blasted away by an immense force.

"Wha, what?!"

"Everyone, be on high alert!"

On the first floor, the soldiers belonging to 'Perseus' immediately looked towards the gate.

"Prepare Hades' invisibility helmet. Those 'NoNames' are definitely already in, but as long as we remain invisible—"

"Captain! Um...we didn't see anyone from the other side!"

"What did you say…?!"

Under the sergeant major's shocked gaze.

boom! !

Then, countless soldiers were instantly thrown into the air.

"So…"

Next, a magnificent figure came into view.
