“Hmm… what should I do…”
The mage of Leo’s team, Freytion, flew through the sky using the ‘Levitation Pillar,’ casually assessing the situation.
Currently, the Chuka Chip team and Lily team were clashing.
It wasn’t intentional, but it was a very good situation for Leo’s team.
While the opponents suffered losses, Leo’s team steadily grew stronger, and as long as Lord Leo focused on ‘that,’ victory was almost guaranteed.
Besides, looking at the flow, a few had already died and were waiting for resurrection.
“How about we strike now? If they’re busy fighting each other, I feel like this is our chance.”
Iron’s hand crushed a thick-armored purple knight.
Even on second glance, the sheer destructive power was jaw-dropping.
Freytion shook his head.
“No way. Unless one side is completely wiped out, trying to finish off one will make us look like allies to them.”
Alliance penalties.
If the two teams didn’t fight each other and attacked another team, that team would receive an advantage.
Whether intentional or not, if Leo’s team attacked one, the team originally engaged would likely focus on their existing enemy instead of opposing Leo.
Then that team would gain an advantage and grow stronger.
For Leo’s team, which already had a significant growth lead and numerous advantages, there was no reason to take unnecessary risks.
“The timing for us to step in is one of two things: either one side is incapacitated or completely shattered.”
—Kya-ha-ha!
Or when Lord Leo finished his hunt.
—
The death-defying orcs awaken.
Soldiers exuding powerful unholy energy.
If the orc undead of Nerindia was around level 60, now they were nearly at level 70.
“Are they growth-type equipment?”
Perhaps through skilled mana manipulation, they had also learned to wield the Echo of Death’s unholy energy effectively.
An orc sorcerer appeared behind Yena, reaching out with a hand.
That power could rival an 80-level dungeon boss.
Yena’s eyes, filled with unholy energy, turned even redder.
“Huh…”
“It seems you’ve made some progress.”
“Thanks to you.”
Yena’s dagger moved sharply.
At the same time, over a hundred orc undead charged at me.
Yena truly has talent.
The potential for growth is extremely high, and by handling mana, she has proficiently managed to harness similar unholy energy.
If she progresses even a bit more, she might even be able to ignore cooldown restrictions and tap into the power of the pendant!
I might be able to use it.
If that’s the case, I could use the powers of ‘Holy Energy’ and ‘Undead’ like a job.
Swish…
That makes it even more regrettable.
“Huh?”
I want to face you a bit more.
‘But I can’t.’
The Undead melt away in the white light.
This annoying Holy Power, claiming to champion ‘Purity’ and ‘Nobility’ since the beginning, condemns those who defy life and death.
The Holy Power cleansed the evil it arbitrarily judged.
“……Huh?”
All of Yena’s Undead disappeared.
Before I knew it, I was standing behind the dazed Yena.
“The Undead have the worst compatibility.”
“What…”
“I had bad luck.”
The spear thrusts at Yena…
Kwang!
“…Huh.”
An arrow from afar struck my spear away.
Regaining her senses, Yena quickly disappears into the red smoke.
The Undead can’t even approach me, but Yena herself is different.
The dagger filled with Holy Energy clashes with the spear.
“Ugh!”
“You’ve grown a lot in these two weeks.”
The red Holy Energy tries to erode the spear.
However, the Holy Power nobly blocks all intrusions, instead gnawing at the intruders.
It’s a being that greedily suppresses enemies and solidifies its position rather than protecting or guarding someone.
Indeed, the Holy Power is not noble.
“Ugh!”
Kclang!
Yena is an assassin.
She knows better than anyone that it’s impossible to win in a battle of strength.
Quickly giving up on the struggle of strength, Yena stretches her Holy Energy out long, enveloping the entire area.
If it were another User or Ranker, they would have struggled to even spot or move against Yena in the smoke…
“Hmm.”
The Holy Power surrounding me does not permit the touch of Holy Energy at all.
Instead, it sweeps away the surrounding darkness and scatters light.
Fwoosh!
A sharp dagger grazed my shoulder.
At the same time, my body heals from the damage.
As expected, Yena hid her body back into the smoke.
Simultaneously, three arrows fly towards me.
Looking up, I see I’ve already marked.
I twirl the spear and smash it into the ground.
Crunch!
The smoke made of red Holy Energy dissipates, and the Holy Power becomes a barrier to block the arrows.
However, the arrows are the ‘Piercing’ arrows that are sure to penetrate their enemies.
The arrows shoot towards me beyond the barrier.
It’s impossible to block the ‘absolute’ condition just yet.
“Pii.”
Pii~!
A white bird resembling a parrot flew up.
And it pecked three times, swallowing the arrows.
The arrow was swallowed.
The arrow disappeared just like that.
“…!”
Laguiel, flustered yet composed, pulled back the bowstring.
It can’t be possible every time for something like that.
The arrow of certainty has a ridiculous effect that inevitably penetrates the enemy.
No matter how much a parrot eats and copies skills, this…
Pew~?
Dozens of arrows came flying.
Though their power may have diminished compared to before, each one bears the effect of certainty.
Pew!
But it’s useless.
Thud! Thud thud!
“That’s absurd…”
I’ve already swallowed them all.
I rapidly consumed all dozens of arrows.
Pew seemed to enjoy it, circling in the air before landing on my shoulder.
“How… how is this possible…”
─Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t genuinely digest them.
I sent the words of ‘that distant’ Laguiel, infused with mana.
Blocking or dodging the arrows of certainty is impossible.
Even if you block with legendary-grade equipment, you’ll still be damaged, making it an unavoidable technique once fired.
“But I can ‘postpone’ it.”
I see the space of Pew, made of holiness.
Like a hamster wheel, the arrows of certainty keep revolving.
The arrows desperately keep rushing forward to hit me, but it’s futile.
The six rotating magic circles and five controlling magic circles entangled in Pew’s space will keep spinning until my holiness is all used up.
However, the essence of that ability is to ‘certainly’ hit.
Someday, it will definitely hit, but…
By then, its power will be weaker than a toy arrow due to exhaustion.
“And…”
Pewwaah!
“Ah!”
“I told you. You need to learn how to conceal mana.”
Yena, who was waiting for her chance, halted her hand.
The dagger barely grazed my neck, but in return, five spears pierced Yena’s body.
“…I thought I was hiding it pretty well.”
“I’ll tell you more later.”
Yena was retired.
I pulled one of the five spears and threw it directly at Laguiel.
The spear infused with holiness pierced right through Laguiel, bypassing all defensive techniques.
I casually activated my camera angle.
By now, the chat window must be flooding with messages like, “Lily! Lily! Lily! I knew I could trust Lily King! Haha, it’s epic ㅋㅋ.”
It really sucks not being able to see the chat during the competition.
I touched my neck.
A wound that had long since healed.
‘Twice. No, three times?’
I thought I had handled it pretty well, yet I already let three effective hits slip through.
Even after gaining holiness and regaining some of my power.
I have gained the holy power and managed to regain some strength, but…
Kugung!
“…I need to hurry.”
Despite the long distance, the impact is felt enough to tingle on my skin.
Raizaka is being ‘hunted.’

[Lily! Lily! Lily! Lily! Lily!]
[LOL the Truck Shield got one-shot, no way!]
[This is crazy, for real]
The first round of the mock siege war, a multitude of situations occurring simultaneously, making it overwhelming to commentate.
While the Chuka Chip team and Lily team are fiercely clashing, Leo gazes at his old foe, feeling the countless buffs granted by his teammates.
“Hello!”
“Crrruuuu…”
A life form that’s but an ant compared to himself.
Yet Raizaka, furious, raises his massive body to exterminate the bug that dared to invade his home.
[Chaos Incarnate, the Extreme Dragon Raizaka has declared you an enemy!]
Kieeeeeek!!!
Twisted scales emit a murky light as his torn eye reddens with rage.
The second most powerful attack from Raizaka after obliteration.
[Chaos Incarnate, the Extreme Dragon Raizaka uses Rage!]
“Haha! What if you’re already angry?”
Leo smiles cheerfully, embracing the numerous powers of spirits.
He dodges the wrathful shockwaves, taking flight.
The Wind Spirit sharpens his agility.
The Lightning Spirit amplifies his strength.
The Ice Spirit hones his attack even further.
The Earth Spirit fortifies his body and hinders Raizaka, who’s still on the ground.
And lastly.
The tricky one that finally allows ‘Spirit Ascension’ through realization.
The unique hidden piece obtained from the ‘World Boss.’
Crack.
“Crrrk?”
‘Spirit Ascension.’
A colossal Being of Light merges with Leo’s body and mind.
“A Spirit of ‘Light’.”
The blade of light severed Raizaka’s two wings.
