The Chuka Chip’s spear spins.
The air shakes violently, as if it’s tearing apart space itself.
The roar of the spear is clear.
But something feels different.
“A spear that resembles ‘Annihilation’.”
It doesn’t come close to that power. No, it can’t even achieve a fraction of Annihilation, but it looks convincing at least.
“Since it can’t follow the spear of Annihilation, did it settle for mimicking the roar of the spear instead?”
If that’s really the case, its talent is definitely not ordinary.
Maybe it even rivals Leo’s talent.
“Alright. Pass.”
However.
“…?!”
“You do know that technique isn’t yours, right?”
It learned the Celestial Race’s technique, known as the spear tribe.
I’ve faced countless spears and broken through the walls that stood in my way dozens of times through ‘that’.
It’s no exaggeration to say I’ve died several times in the process.
The roar of the spear is just a simple technique.
Spinning the spear using resources like Holy or Mana and shooting it out like a Breath.
Those who have seen it for the first time say it’s like a storm raging from the spear.
But true storms aren’t like this.
The roar tears through the air, rushing forward.
With the effect of striking the enemy unerringly, it shoots straight toward me with deadly precision.
Indeed, ignoring logic and power leads to unexpected results.
I draw the spear back.
The Spirit’s wind I’ve retrieved after a long time spins the Holy and creates a fierce storm around.
The Holy Storm sucks in everything.
From the surrounding winds to earth, grass, trees, energy, Mana… everything converges into one place.
‘Eye of the Spear.’
An eye that pierces the sky, a storm created by the angel of the firmament, Rusalha.
If capable, it could even absorb Demons, one of the powers of the ‘Eight Seats’.
As a powerful technique, few in the Celestial Race know of it, and even fewer can use it, but ‘that’ one knew.
…I don’t want to admit it, but in terms of spears, he was almost a god.
The Chuka Chip’s ‘power’ sways like a candle before the wind.
The power is so irrational it ignores logic, but before a greater power, it’s just a ‘futile’ effort.
What must be must not be and what is absolute loses its absoluteness.
The golden roar dissipates.
The twin spears that unleashed the roar couldn’t withstand the fierce storm and were sucked into the eye of the spear.
At that moment, Chuka Chip’s expression twisted as it lost both spears.
“Unbelievable.”
“There’s nothing in this world that isn’t unbelievable.”
Everything in this world can be perceived as a story.
From the moment I became Lily…
A golden spear gripped tightly in my hand.
Is this what it means to have a mythical name? The spear feels like it’s part of my hand.
Even though there’s a level cap and stat restrictions preventing me from using the weapon, it doesn’t really matter.
“I can break it.”
If I implement the powers I’ve seen and contained through divinity well enough, I could even break the limits of the system.
But I didn’t.
“…Do I really need to?”
I don’t necessarily need the spear’s power enough to break its restrictions.
Right now, I know things that people don’t, and I’m in a situation where I don’t know things that I do know, so there’s no need to show something ‘absurd.’
However, there is one amusing part…
I casually waved the golden spear around and crept closer to her, whispering.
“Right? Candy Star?”
“…N-No, that’s not it!”
Chuka Chip yelled loudly. No, I mean, Candy Star?
“Oh. Is it not? Then, was it Cookie and Cream?”
“……!!”
“I was looking forward to when you’d finally say it. You never did?”
Did you really think I wouldn’t know after showing yourself like that?
On the day I first came to the lecture hall in the body of ‘Candy Star.’
From the moment I used mana in that body, I roughly got the hint.
That Cookie and Cream, and Candy Star were all the same person.
I found out that the two people before me were Chuka Chip today.
But since I hadn’t seen Chuka Chip use mana directly, I wasn’t completely certain until today.
So, I was curious.
Why the urge to beat me so badly?
I was about to ask.
[(Team) Redberry: Attack on Lord Leo!]
[(Team) Redberry: Lord Leo and Iron are here!]
Attack?
I expected it to some degree, but it feels a bit strange.
If they can’t finish me off for sure, or even if they do, the surviving Chuka Chip team advancing would cause problems for Lord Leo’s team.
No matter how strong Unicorn or the Generals are, if players like Yena and Laguiel from the Chuka Chip team target only the core, there’s no way to answer back.
The named assassins and archers are powerful enough to break through them and smash the core.
“What? The Unicorn has come in?”
Chuka Chip jerked her head up, looking like she was dying.
“Oh dear?”
Both sides are fighting?
■
Both sides need to engage.
From the moment the Lily team faced off against the Chuka Chip team again, Leo came up with a strategy.
From the moment Leo’s team clashed with the Chuka Chip team, he came up with a strategy.
‘There’s no way to beat Professor Lily! I have to avoid a direct confrontation and go in stealthily.’
Of course, even without Lily, the Lily team had strange Black Clouds like Black, boasting Grand General-level strength.
No matter how much the growth buffs were enhanced, unless you’re also a Grand General, you wouldn’t be able to break through them.
Hehehe…
Well, there is indeed a pure and noble unicorn of Grand General level on our side, but…
“We have a bit of a problem!”
“…It’s the first time I’ve seen someone like Lady Lily.”
Excluding NPCs, he had never seen a ‘noble’ person even once.
Honestly, seeing Lady Lily seems totally reasonable, yet somewhat hard to accept.
‘Nobility’ seemed to be a trait that a user couldn’t possess.
Anyway, the unicorn is just a well-behaved horse in front of Lady Lily, so Freytion was sent to support the Chuka Chip team.
‘We’ll strike simultaneously and end it all at once.’
Lady Lily and Chuka Chip.
If those two fight, there’s a 99% chance… no, Lady Lily will definitely win.
But who wins or loses isn’t what’s important.
What’s important is that the strongest forces of both teams are absent from the field.
‘We’ll take advantage of that gap!’
Boom!
The essence of the earth dwells within Iron’s body.
An enhancement using the spirit of the earth.
Iron charged headfirst and broke through the wall blocking the Lily team.
The wall crumbled in an instant, revealing a stunned little kid, or rather, the Devil beyond it.
‘Where’s the other Lily team?’
“Human!”
“Hey, little brat, we meet again!”
“Let’s settle this 1-on-1!!”
Whoosh! The Devil spread black flames and instantly struck Iron’s raised arms.
As Iron was pushed back into the debris, the Devil relentlessly continued his assault.
Arms, legs, and Baldy.
“…Attacking the head is fine in a duel, but doesn’t that seem like a really rude thought?”
“Baldy human, die!”
“I’m not bald!”
Just a little thinning!
Iron, who was not even a celestial, insisted while scattering bright light.
“What a rascal, Baldy.”
“I’ll have to teach you some manners.”
“You can’t beat me! This is different from the last round!”
The difference between the Devil and Iron was similar, but the Devil had the upper hand, albeit slightly.
Unless there was a drastic gap like in the first round, the Devil would surely win.
‘If it’s a fair fight, that is.’
Sre.
“Of course, I’m not doing this.”
“What?”
Before he could even say that, he was cut.
A white line appeared across the devil’s chest.
Whoosh!
Black particles of blood splattered everywhere.
“Nymph…!”
“We don’t have time. If I fight like last round, I’ll lose.”
Leo, who had burst through the wall, slashed at the devil one more time and stood beside Iron.
Though he spoke and thought like a young child, it didn’t mean he was foolish or immature.
From the beginning, Leo operated the Marquis house with the body and mind of a child, and he was also a brilliant user who accomplished numerous feats.
“When Lady Lily comes, we’ll give everything!”
“…That’s true.”
Iron nodded as he watched Leo change every moment.
A white light seeped in.
His hair turned white, and the light sword in his hand glimmered.
‘The target is the core.’
A strike that would cut through the front was being prepared.
“What I need to do is…”
“Get ready to dodge.”
Swish!
“Light Sword.”
Screech…
“Cutting the diagonal.”
Light drew a diagonal line.
A playful line drawn with tiny hands.
But the result was merely a ‘joke.’
Booom… Crash!!!
The castle cracked.
The castle, which was supposed to be indestructible, split in two, and darkness rose through the crack.
A black greatsword reminiscent of the moon gleamed.
Light sparkling in the darkness.
“Haap!”
It wasn’t light.
It was just so dense that the surrounding light made that darkness stand out even more.
The greatsword was about to slice Leo’s body in half…
“Did you know? Lady Lily is super strong.”
The ground beneath Leo turned green.
The remnants of the castle blended with nature. Sprouting buds. Growing tree trunks. A surge of the power of life.
The ‘World Tree’ was growing.
“See? Just like the professor? How could you kill me four times?”
In an instant, the tendrils of the World Tree that had taken over the castle wrapped around Black’s arms and legs.
No matter how much he tried to cut them, he couldn’t escape.
Black looked up at the tiny figure with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
The savior of the Elves’ Kingdom, Eposis, who inherited the powers of the World Tree.
The only user who single-handedly brought down the kingdom and gained the empire’s recognition.
“Still!”
Leo smiled.
“You’re lucky to win, Mr. Black!”
