Chapter 106 – Pioneering (6)
In the end, Serenian accepted my offer. Of course, she couldn’t afford to compete with her right now, and her first priority was to revive her spirit, which had lost her power.
‘Is this enough?’
From noble mtl dot com
As soon as I got out of the herb pot, I picked up a AA size battery. It is bigger than the coin battery from which the lightning spirit was born, and it has more energy than the battlebot.
The question is whether this can really revive the spirits. I also had a mind that a reduced battery would be better.
Because I still don’t know all about the principle or composition of the sense of distance that occurs when objects and living things are resized, and the mysterious changes that occur when moving between the outside and the inside of a pot.
‘It can’t be helped.’
In the end, I can’t be sure, so I just try this and that. If the battery fails, move on to the battery, no problem. However, if it fails, it will be like throwing a huge garbage that is difficult to dispose of to the elves.
To prevent that, I went back to the herb pot after thinking about it.
‘I’m not good at guessing.’
And then, pulling up my power, I started digging in the corner.
First of all, the depth is 5cm or more and the thickness is 2cm or more. It’s the size of my finger, so it’s actually a task that can be completed in just a few seconds, but to me, who came into the pot, it’s more than several times my height.
Still, the soft soil was easily scooped up and crushed by my strength. It would have taken days and days if it had been done with a shovel, but in the end it took less than a few hours to complete the work.
‘It fits perfectly.’
I came out of the pot again, dropped the chopped cloth on the herb pot, and dropped the battery on it.
When I entered the planter again in that state, a huge cylindrical battery that was taller than my height was rolling in front of me.
I moved my strength and lifted it wrapped in cloth. Then, when they were pushed into the ground dug in advance, the huge battery wrapped in cloth was quietly seated on the ground with only its tip exposed.
“You mean the ceremony is held here?”
“I think that is good too.”
That night, I called Serenian to this place again.
She looked around in surprise. Because she couldn’t see anything right now.
“This is…”
To her, I mobilized her strength to clear the mound of dirt she had lightly covered and showed her the tip of her battery.
“Haven’t you tried it already? Let’s try it.”
I urged her, and she stared blankly at the shiny metal. Then, as if she could sense something, she walked and stood on it.
“The Spirit reacts. It is absorbing power.”
“It works.”
The reaction was immediate. As soon as she stood on the battery, her crackling sparks flew and a lightning elemental burst out of her body.
When Serenian stroked it with a curious face. Her lightning elemental was absorbing all the electric shock leaking out of her battery into her own body.
Looking at the vigorous fluttering of what looked like wings, it seems that it has already recovered.
“Huh?”
It was then that I noticed something strange. Wings, Serenian’s spirit looked like a lump of electricity.
“That spirit is strange. Now… Kyaaagh!”
Reverse lightning. It emitted a thunderous roar and a dazzling flash, then rose from the ground toward the sky.
It was also at that time that Serenian screamed. I hurriedly raised my strength, but all I could do was block the impact so I wouldn’t get hurt.
“I am fine. I was just a little surprised.”
But when I forced my eyes open, I hurriedly approached. Serenian stopped me with a trembling voice.
‘Bird.’
After that, the flash subsided and I could see it. A huge bird wrapped around the sweaty Serenian.
This gigantic bird whose whole body is made up of thunderbolts clings to her as she spreads her crackling wings and touches herself.
The blue thunderbolt that lit up the darkness was quite beautiful.
“This child has grown to another level now. After eating the grace bestowed by heaven.”
“Is that really all there is to it? Did you grow by simply absorbing power?”
“Four, actually, I don’t know the principle or reason as I am ignorant of spiritism. However, I could have grown more by communicating with you, but I stopped here because I was not enough for that.”
Her eyes were shaking as if she herself was bewildered.
Could it be that if you give it a bigger battery, it will grow more? However, unlike these random thoughts that suddenly come to my mind, of course I don’t know about the spirits, so I have no choice but to move on.
Still, the desired goal of restoring the spirits has been achieved.
“I received great favor again.”
“It is not a grace obtained for nothing. Listening to the story, it seems that without your growth, Serenian, the spirits will not grow, but the fact that the spirits have grown like this means that you have grown as well.”
“…Right. Me too.”
She laughed. Who wouldn’t be happy when she was recognized for her achievements?
“I have something to tell you.”
While things went well like this. I decided to tell her what I was thinking.
“It is a kind of prophecy.”
It seems that they are having a hard time breaking through the monster earthworms that rule the underworld and attacking the dungeon, so this is how I came up with it.
“Soon there will be heavy rain pouring down on the mountainous terrain. A heavy rain that has never been in this world before.”
“Po, heavy rain…?”
“The clue I will give you ends there. Think carefully and if you don’t have the confidence to take advantage of the downpour, pray for it to stop. The rain will stop.”
Her panicking mentioned her heavy rain.
Of course, I sprinkle the rain that falls on the world inside the pot. Until now, I have always sprayed just the right amount, but this time it will be a little different.
You’ll have to pour enough water to submerge the world to bring the monster out of the ground.

“Huh, this isn’t an easy answer.”
“To be honest, I don’t have an answer, Chief. How do you stop a monster digging a burrow with a huge body? If a monster like this appeared in the kingdom, we would have to immediately deploy a large-scale army.”
When Serenian is busy trying to revive his spirit.
Dwarves, including Aaron, gathered at the conference hall and continued the meeting until late at night, tearing their hair out.
They needed a way right now. Otherwise, all the underground forts and villages he had built would be destroyed.
It was unknown when the monster earthworms would dig their burrows and invade this place.
“As a result of the investigation, it was found that the beast spiders and the beast earthworms do not seem to be cooperating with each other. The corpses of monster spiders that were torn from the burrows dug by monster earthworms were also found.”
“Are you saying that you are less worried about coming together? However, it is meaningless if spiders come riding through burrows dug by monster beasts.”
“One thing’s for sure, it’s impossible for us to go there and deal with those monsters that we don’t know how many. Wouldn’t it be better if we fought outside after thoroughly preparing?”
As Aaron sighed, one of the dwarves sighed and shook her head.
It was impossible to go down to the underworld with all their power now, enter their lair and fight against the monster earthworms and win.
They were originally just ordinary villagers, and the dwarven heroes who made their name during the Great War were elsewhere.
‘Heaven’s trials are never easy.’
Aaron laughed bitterly at the grunting of his teammates.
Even though everyone was suffering from the difficult reality, no one gave up. Because this was an ordeal they had to prove their qualifications for.

As long as they overcome this ordeal, this vast land and many resources were all theirs.
“You mean there will soon be an unprecedented downpour here? How do you do that?”
“That is all I have heard.”
It was when they were exhausted after an all-night meeting that Serenian came to them with a piece of news.
Unlike them, she seems to have a somewhat lighter mood, and she shares what she heard with them and tries to find her own way.
“Use the heavy rain? What does heavy rain have to do with this situation? Isn’t that rather bad? We cut out a lot of parts, so a landslide could happen.”
“If you can stop it by praying, shouldn’t you stop it?”
All of the Dwarf executives murmured. It was because my tired head was stiff, so I couldn’t easily think of something.
“If it rains a lot, of course the ground will be flooded, right? That’s why earthworms come out when it rains.”
At that time, Pia, who had followed Serenian, opened her mouth in a daze.
At that moment, everyone’s eyes turned to the hole that the beast earthworm first dug through. The hole that has not been blocked yet, and the battlebot is parked and guarded.
