One year ago, during a mock siege war, Leo had single-handedly taken down Raizaka.
A gamble to completely turn the tide of a dire situation.
Draped in level 9 and numerous attack and defense buffs, she defeated Raizaka after a fierce struggle lasting five minutes, securing victory in the match.
While everyone praised Leo as the best, she actually thought that battle was the worst.
“It was a fight where I had to give it my all.”
Her body was left in tatters.
To barely achieve a mutual demise, she had to use everything beyond a spirit.
At that time, Raizaka truly felt like a god, appearing as an insurmountable wall.
Someone could say that it’s only natural.
But it shouldn’t be that way.
“Ha…”
“Leo now shouldn’t think like that!”
Kieeeeeee!!!
[Is this… Leo?]
[Wow, that’s insane ㅋㅋㅋ]
[So cool ;;]
[Wait, what’s with that sword]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[?????????]
[Can you use the Light Spirit?]
[That sword looks over 30M long]
[Leo is so cute]
[Lily went crazy too, didn’t she?]
[Wow]
[Oh my ㅋ]
[Leo! Leo! Leo! Leo!]
Raizaka, having lost its wings, screams in pain while rampaging through the battlefield.
Breathing heavily, she retrieves a massive light sword, dozens of times bigger than herself.
It’s certainly extremely difficult to control a mythical spirit with the ‘Unique’ trait.
There’s a reason she hasn’t been able to use it even once, despite having acquired it six months ago.
“Because it’s that challenging.”
If not for Lady Lily’s teachings, it would have been impossible to even borrow power.
Squeeze…!
A tiny hand clenches into a fist.
An incredible power that doesn’t match the appearance of the hand.
“Totally awesome!”
“…!”
In an instant, Leo moved behind Raizaka and swung her cute little fist.
To an uninformed bystander, it might seem like a mere playful tap.
Well, it wasn’t even really an attack…
Ka-chack.
The result was completely different.
Scales shattered.
Murky blood splattered as the light, fused with Leo, relentlessly tore apart the wingless giant.
The inside of its body cracked apart, and the endlessly regenerating Dragon Heart couldn’t prevent the infiltration of light, leading to its malfunction.
Raizaka let out a scream, using its overwhelming power.
Rumble…
[Summoning chaos, the Extreme Dragon Raizaka uses Destruction.]
A massive force of violence named after destruction.
Overwhelming violence pressed down on everyone around.
“?!”
Leo wasn’t there.
He didn’t teleport away or escape at high speed.
Once destruction began, escaping was impossible, and skills related to long-distance movement were restricted too.
It meant that any possible evasion was entirely excluded.
But Leo was definitely not there.
“Leo biggie.”
The adorable smile on Leo’s face reappeared when he returned.
The sword of light was back in her hand.
“Went to the spirit realm and came back!”
[?]
[Huh?]
[Wait a second]
[Eh?]
[Wow, Lily right now]
[No way]
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1WE83WnhqbmRkVmFBelZMWWxOUi9nRjQxTkZlL0ZqY2kxdGRrRk1FYXdhaQ
[Hahaha?]
[This is right away]
[Wow, that’s insane, hahaha]
[From the first round, it’s just crazy, hahaha]
Boom!
Crash!
[Chaos unleashed, the Extreme Dragon Raizaka has been defeated!]
[The Red Team’s core has been destroyed!]
[Slayer – Leo.]
[Destroyer – Lily Elbrite.]
“…Huh?”
■
“What the hell.”
Chuka Chip frowned at the stopped spear.
He hadn’t stopped it of his own volition.
Chuka Chip’s team had ‘fallen,’ losing their influence here.
Already, Chuka Chip’s body was transforming into blue particles.
Black, having checked the global message and had his defense skill, ‘Moon’s Guardian,’ active the entire battle, deactivated it.
“…Wow! I thought I was gonna die.”
“See you in the next round. I’ll really kill you then.”
“Alright. Go in and rest.”
“…If I hadn’t been defending, it would’ve been over already.”
Chuka Chip gritted his teeth as his body was already half-gone, while Black chuckled.
“We’re the defending side. Honestly, I’m not sure even in equal conditions.”
No matter how strong Choco was, it wasn’t like this.
The strength was on a dimension entirely different from what he had anticipated and seen.
If he hadn’t dedicated himself to defense from the start, it might have ended a long time ago, just as Choco said.
‘Maybe catching Lady Lily isn’t just a bluff.’
Black looked at the spot where Chuka Chip had vanished, picking up his battered body.
Lily’s victory was undeniably good news, but there was also bad news.
No, it wasn’t just bad news.
[Chaos unleashed, the Extreme Dragon Raizaka has been defeated.]
[Slayer – Leo.]
How do you block this?
How do we stop this?
“Round 1 of the fierce mock siege war is unfolding! Now only two teams remain!”
“The clash between Lily’s team and Chuka Chip’s team happened faster than expected. As you can see, Redberry, Lily, and Chuka Chip immediately moved towards the opposing formation, marking the beginning of the battle.”
“That’s right. It seems both sides brought strategies to finish off the opponent early, but ironically, the targets of their attacks are their own teammates. How peculiar!”
[LOL]
[How are they even hitting each other? LOL]
[Lily is hitting Choco, and Choco is hitting Lily.]
[It’s wild.]
[The Grand General vibe is pretty strong. LOL]
[Is Lily trying to 1v3? LOL]
[This is classic Lily. LOL]
[Looks like Leo’s team is winning this.]
Lacl said while looking at Leo’s castle.
“But are they really going to clash much? Leo’s team already has an average level above 7, and particularly, the level of Leo, who took down Raizaka, has reached 9. Plus, they have the blessing of the Extreme Dragon.”
“Whoa… Is this just lucky break? Due to the unexpected flow of events, Leo’s team has become overwhelmingly strong. Who can stop this?!”
It’s true that Leo’s team has become stronger than the surviving Lily’s team.
Although the power of “Dinosaur is Alive” with Iron, Freytion, and Leo absent is much lower compared to the rank and skill difference with Chuka Chip’s team and Lily’s team.
But they’ve already caught up with that spec and more. With the blessing of the Extreme Dragon, they each resembled a Grand General.
The bigger problem now is Leo, who has become the overlord of the mock siege war.
Can anyone really stop Leo, who is armed with numerous buffs and blessings?
[Oof.]
[Looks like while they fight, Leo is just going to swoop in. LOL]
[Ah.]
[It’s because no one is targeting Leo.]
[Leo is basically a demigod now.]
[Lily will win.]
[Yeah, Lily will probably kill him with a new technique. LOL]
The defeated Lily team has resurrected.
Now, a proper 4v4 has finally been established, but the conditions are still lacking.
Luna shook her head.
“I believe the Lily team has some potential. By eliminating Chuka Chip’s team, they’ve gained some experience points and buffs, and most importantly, they have two ‘Grand General’-level players: Black and Lily.”
“Oh! That’s right! Black was also supposed to be a Grand General!”
“Yes. Moreover, Black successfully fended off the Grand General, Chuka Chip, while being a ‘General’ himself. Just that alone speaks volumes.”
They’re going to win.
“I think the Lily team has a sufficient chance to win.”
“I think so.”
[Isn’t it too happy circuit? Haha!]
[Hahaha!]
[It would be hilarious if we lose like this.]
[But Leo’s team has such an advantage that it’s kind of unfair.]
[Luna is a die-hard Lily fan?]
[Is Luna a fan of Lily? Haha!]
[Lily is the embodiment of faith.]
[I believe in Lily.]
[Ignoring Lily? Just watch, she’ll win now, haha!]
[Oh my!]
[Yeah~ Leo will win~]

The first thing I did after destroying the Red team’s core was contacting my team.
The Devil chose to swiftly die and resurrect rather than recover his heavily damaged body.
Redberry died while facing Laguiel and will soon resurrect.
─…So I lived, and we are in a state of having lost two lives.
“Basically, we won’t level up at all.”
─That’s right. Choco caused quite the ruckus.
While I was fighting, fierce battles were raging in our castle as well.
If we look at the results, no one got eliminated, but we couldn’t level up.
Our average level is at most 5.
Even with the core destruction reward, that’s our level.
One glimmer of hope is that the soldiers mining resources don’t die, so our ‘buff’ doesn’t fall behind?
─The opponent will likely be 2-3 levels higher than this. Lord Leo will obviously be higher than that.”
“……”
─It seems we should focus on defense and growth rather than attack-
“No. Delaying will actually be disadvantageous.”
‘Giving the enemy more time would be problematic.’
That could be how Leo’s team thinks of us, but honestly, it’s the same for us.
If they continue to grow, it’s obviously the opponent who will reach max levels first.
Especially with the destructive buff of the Extreme Dragon’s blessing, defense is not a good choice.
I’ve been saying repeatedly, no matter how strong I get, the ‘core’ will never be strong.
“I’ll go. Black, you come along.”
─…What? Then who will defend?”
Two Grand General-level fighters are missing.
Without them, it would be tough for Redberry and the Devil, who only have one life left, to fend off the incoming opponents.
Moreover, realistically, their strength isn’t that great.
I chuckled softly.
“It’s fine. I have everything arranged.”
It’s time to bring out Plan C.
