    Not a mindless wish-fulfillment story, but a genuine team-based action thriller. • Every character shines, the ensemble cast isn't just about supporting characters. • The combat is incredibly detailed, with a clear ability system (Four Symbols Psychic Power + Divine and Demonic Power). • It has both humor and pathos! • The Eighteen Bronze Men Formation, Wooden Dummy Alley, and the Mind-Bound Dungeon... The dungeon design is super interesting! Urban fantasy + modern fantasy, a must-read for fans of *Under One Person* and *Godslayer*! One-sentence recommendation: "If you're tired of lone-wolf tropes, this ensemble piece about teamwork and overwhelming odds is definitely worth watching."
