“Hey guys! I won!”
“Shinwoo!”
“Master!”
“Husband!”
I ran to where my group was after a glorious victory.
They all opened their arms wide for me.
“Hey, you crazy idiot! Who told you to use a self-destruct mechanism!!!!!”
“Bleeding like a fountain, and what are you grinning about!”
“No matter how you put it, it’s still a Golden Retriever over Shigor Zab!”
“…Hey, when you say stuff like that, it suddenly gets weird.”
Everyone was united in their endeavor to smack the back of my head.
Thanks to that, blood burst out from my side again, but my group’s assault continued without rest.
As soon as their attacks slowed, someone suddenly shoved a potion in my face.
It was the Escort Elf.
“Oh, thanks.”
“What do you mean?”
The Escort Elf shook the potion in front of my eyes.
Then, with her other hand, she showed me her palm.
“Pay up. Money.”
‘That b*tch is seriously pissing me off while I’m in pain.’
[What are you gonna do without any money?]
What can I do?
The answer is getting it on-site.
I approached the fainted Fabian and thoroughly searched his body.
After several attempts, I found a slightly heavy wallet.
At that moment, the watching Elves began to throw half-eaten food at me while criticizing me.
‘Oh, this is delicious.’
[This isn’t a safari!!!]
I quickly gobbled down the food like a bear catching food.
I dodged the trash flying at me, while mastering every piece of food, completing the rhythm game full combo.
After finishing dessert, I waved the wallet in front of the Escort Elf and only then did she finally hand over the potion.
As soon as I received the potion…
“Bring me more!!!!”
“What are you doing!!!!!!!!”
I threw the wallet far away.
While the Escort Elf dashed off to find the wallet, I spread the potion evenly on my wounds.
A burning sensation spread, and my injuries slowly began to heal.
Exactly halfway.
‘Ah. That bastard diluted the potion with water.’
[Complaining while healing with someone else’s money, huh?]
I punched the returning Escort Elf and snatched the remaining potion to finish healing my wounds.
While I was healing, Demian, also known as Demianer, was already standing in the duel arena.
And when Hyeji entered the arena, the majority of watching Elves jeered at her.
“Demianer! Finish off that weak female right away!”
“Where’s the female in that? She’s flat-chested!”
“Is that what they call unwavering comfort?”
“No matter how short the punch is, it’s still an inch. How is her chest 0 inches?”
“Looks like she’s angry! Useless♡. Idiot♡. S*it food♡. What a chest.”
As Hyeji’s expression darkened, the Elves watching delightedly laughed at her.
As the tension from the Elves increased, Demian’s expression quickly soured.
Demian cautiously spoke to Hyeji, who had eyes as deep and dark as the abyss.
But…
“I apologize on behalf of them. They just don’t know.”
“Die.”
Unfortunately, the conversation didn’t go any further.
Defeated, Demian closed his eyes tightly, clutching his axe with trembling hands.
Without any signal, the duel began as Demian lunged at Hyeji.
While Demian charged forward, Hyeji twisted her feet in place.
With that alone, numerous Gatling turrets appeared beside her.
Of course, all their barrels were aimed at Demian.
“Get lost.”
– Tatata tatatatatatatatatatat!
At Hyeji’s command, the Gatling barrels rotated, scattering a rain of bullets.
Though many bullets struck Demian, miraculously—
– Ping!
“AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
“Oh.”
Rather, the bullets ricocheted off Demian’s body.
Countless bullets rained on Demian, each hit sounding like a small bell.
Yet with each hit, Demian screamed louder while closing the gap with Hyeji.
Then, a fully revived Fabian, having regained his senses, pointed at us and laughed out loudly.
“Hahahaha!!! Our brother has the body of unbreakable polymer alloy!”
“Fabian! Shut your mouth!”
Demian hastily tried to cut off Fabian’s words, but Fabian wouldn’t stop.
“With your lame toys, you can’t bring any harm to him!!”
“What should I do now that you’ve revealed everything!!!”
The talkative Fabian blabbered on about Demian’s abilities.
Demian’s ability is simply having a robust body.
Looking at him like that, it seemed like ordinary bullets and blades wouldn’t penetrate.
But.
“Really?”
The situation was looking bleak.
Hyeji, for the first time since the duel began, smiled ominously.
As she noticed Demian rushing towards her, Hyeji began to summon a weapon.
“Looks like passive defense isn’t enough?”
Anti-Material Sniper Rifle.
Originally designed to break equipment rather than snipe people, a high-caliber rifle.
Even though it’s not meant to be held and fired like that, Hyeji effortlessly held the Anti-Material Sniper Rifle with both hands.
Aiming the rifle at Demian, Hyeji spoke softly.
“Take cover. Unless you want to die.”
– Taaaaaang!!!!
Elves watching from behind Demian sensed the abnormal atmosphere the moment Hyeji smiled and began to flee in advance.
Meanwhile, it appeared that Demian was prepared to retaliate, swinging his double-edged axe to chop through the incoming bullets.
It was supposed to show a heroic elf song with a little flair.
But—
– Clang!
“……Huh?”
One side of the blade of the double-edged axe Demian held completely shattered.
Demian stared blankly at the weapon he’d fought alongside through thick and thin, now reduced in half.
Amidst this, Hyeji’s ominous voice echoed.
“Take cover. Unless you want to die.”
“Y-you bastard!”
Demian awkwardly dodged the bullets raining down.
Finally, that hellish time came to an end.
A sound indicating empty magazines echoed.
That was a sliver of hope for Demian.
His judgment was quick.
“I won’t give you time to reload!”
An empty gun is nothing but a hunk of metal.
Only with bullets does its lethality get maximized.
And the fact it needs to be restocked.
Demian dashed forward with that in mind.
It was definitely not a bad judgment.
No, it was rather the best judgment.
Of course.
“Why would I need to reload?”
“What?”
“I can just create more.”
“That’s cheating!!!”
As I said before, that kind of logic only applies if you’re not Hyeji.
As Hyeji pointed towards Demian, one of the many bunker busters launched.
However, Demian easily dodged the bunker buster, which soared through the air to fly far away.
Seeing this, Demian began to mock Hyeji, laughing.
“Where exactly are you aiming? All this work was for nothing!!”
“No, I aimed perfectly.”
“Huh?”
At the moment Demian showed a hint of doubt, the flying bunker buster reached a certain position.
– KWA-BOOOOM!!!!
“Huh?…..What! What!!!!!”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Indeed.
The target of our strike.
The bunker buster struck the World Tree directly.
As the World Tree exploded, every Elf fell silent, each struck dumb by the sight.
Then, regaining his senses, Sharit pointed at us with red eyes and shouted.
“You crazy idiots!!!!!! What the hell have you done!!!!!!”
“There’s a saying that you never negotiate with Ear Goblins.”
“What even is that! That’s a monster!!!”
“No!! You’re wrong!!!”
I grabbed Sharit by the collar and tossed him.
Then, I shouted at Sharit, who’s groaning on the ground.
“That’s no mere monster!”
“Then what the hell is that!!!”
All the Elves’ gazes turned to me.
Feeling all their eyes on me, I pointed towards Hyeji and shouted as if my throat would tear.
“A God!!!”
Just then, Jeong Ahyeon started playing the BGM.
The name of the BGM was ‘Wrath of God.’
A grand melody began to echo through the arena.
While all the Elves were lost in confusion,
I activated Hyeji’s special effect.
“Goddess Hyeji Impact!!!!!!!!!”
At that, the bunker buster on Hyeji’s right and the missiles on her left soared into the sky, each aimed at the World Tree in sequence.
It was time for divine wrath to descend.
