Chapter 182 – Colossal Power (12)
“What did Heinz say? Shall we hit the great forest together?”
“Not only that. Your Highness even instructed me to stay still rather than distribute the loot, as it is being blocked by the tribe elves trying to invade.”
“A mad dog pretends to be a real king just because he ascended the throne.”
In the office in the late evening when the official business is over. He clicked his tongue at the report of his servant and cursed Heinz, who sent the document to him.
No matter how much Heinz rebelled and usurped the throne, he still ascended the throne through a successful coup. Nevertheless, the reason why he can say this carelessly is because he was a legitimate monarch of a country.
“What do you think, Benert? It’s true that his words are arrogant, but it is right that the great forest problem should be resolved.”
“Yes.”
At his words, the man who brought the document smiled faintly. Although he looks much younger than the middle-aged king, he was already a war hero who was trusted by the king and supported by the people.
“After the Kingdom of Delos was driven out of the Great Forest for trickery, the Elves united and responded, so it was no longer possible to pillage it in small groups. We need to make a decision, Your Highness.”
“The Great Forest is a treasure trove of resources. What a great benefit if you can have that place in the current situation.”
The king’s eyes glistened with greed. It was not for nothing that they coveted the Great Forest. A land full of vitality. The land itself, touched by the power of the world tree, as well as rare herbs and wood, was a fraudulent land that grew quickly and straightly no matter what was planted.
If it was in the past, I wouldn’t have bothered to pay attention. It was the land of the elves, and there was no reason to conquer it while overcoming the hostility of the elves.
But the world has changed. After the death of the demon king and the defeat of the demon army, those who could not go back to the past gradually ate the weak and grew in size.
“The kingdom of Delos is our competitor. Should I share the Great Forest with those guys? If we can make the Great Forest ours, then we can crush them? Then, even if the Empire tries to pressure us, we can withstand it.”
“But, Your Highness, it’s a bit too much for us to attack the elves alone… Above all, there are some bad news we’ve heard recently. The elves of the Great Forest appeared on countless monster ants and attacked the same elves, capturing the northern city of Liman and killing countless people.”
“Does that make sense? How far is it from there to this place? There is no way the elves led an army through our territory without anyone knowing.”
“That is true, but the character is too firm.”
“But it doesn’t matter. They are just those who are confined and isolated in the Great Forest.”
The king was still looking down on Great Forest despite Benert’s words. Even if the elves resisted, he could not abandon the prejudice that he was a savage living in the forest.
The goal of targeting the Great Forest was the same, but it was a completely different move from Heinz, who was familiar with elves.
“If we mobilize our forces first and attack and capture the Great Forest, Heinz will become a dog chasing chickens.”
“Currently, most of our forces are deployed on the southern and northeastern fronts. Allied forces alone will not be able to deal with the elves fighting in the dense forest.”
“That is fine too. Even if we share it, there are better guys than Heinz.”
He smirked and showed his confidence. It was the confidence that even if an all-out war was waged, he would not lose to the elves of the Great Forest.

“Are you all right? It might take some time to adjust.”
“You can rest assured, my queen. Rather, it is for everyone to settle down quickly.”
At that time, another conspiracy was being created somewhere on the continent. Serenian was worried about Kara, who had safely taken over the spirit. It was because she had declared that she would kill the evil beast ant ghost and save the world tree.
However, Kara shook her head with an expression that erased all the doubts she had before. The way he looked at Serenian also changed.
“Like your lightning spirit, this child is the same. Although he was just born, he uses a little different power than the spirits I have known before.”
“You mean different?”
“Growth is not that fast. My ice spirit, of course, Ersilla’s wind spirit must have been the same.”
At the same time, Kara, an elementalist, was able to teach Serenian, who had been self-taught in spiritism.
Especially when explaining the differences or strengths of spirits that are unique from their origins, Serenian knew for the first time that the lightning spirit he contracted with was special.
“It’s a spirit of a new world, of a new era, so it’s worth it.”
“I will help too. It is a trial given to you, but I can offer you some personal help.”
“I will receive it with gratitude. Shouldn’t I go out as little as possible?”
Kara, who laughed at the offer to help, didn’t bother to reject the offer, but she intended to make sure Serenian didn’t have a turn in the first place.
Once again, the main axis of the attempt to occupy the snowy mountain area is the snowflake clan led by Kara. Armed with weapons lent to them by the Elves of Eden, they once again entered the cold snowy mountains to fight the enemy with all who could fight.
“Is it warmer now?”
“Really. Is this even possible?”
Kara came along and beckoned to Serenian, who was shivering in the cold.
Once again, she was able to borrow the power of the spirit to control her coldness, and in an instant she took away the coldness that had been beating Serenian’s skin. Floated
“Let’s go, that place would be nice.”
And she went ahead and led her people across the land.
There was no reason to go looking for the monster ant ghost hiding in the ground first. He’s definitely going to attack them.
Instead, Kara settled down on a central spot and planted there the seed of the World Tree she had taken from her bosom.
“Please bless us again.”
“Come on, Elder! Land!”
The energy of the World Tree is itself a sweet temptation to the Witchbeast. As soon as she planted her seed, the ground nearby shuddered, creating huge craters in the otherwise undisturbed plain.
Kara, who changed her gaze, raised her bow. The bow made of clear, cold ice that spewed from her hand glistened in the light.
‘I showed up. Am I taking it lightly?’
Serenian also prepared to fight. In the meantime, his enemy hid in his lair and continued pouring dirt on him, and the elves lowered him to avoid the shower of rocks and dirt.
“Shoot the arrow!”

After that, they fought back by shooting bows. The body is huge and the action is dull, so of course the arrows flew in from all directions and hit the enemy, but this time, the powerful cold oozes from the beast ant ghost’s body stopped the flying arrows and dropped them as if freezing space.
“What kind of power…”
I tried to fire a fire arrow in a hurry, but the power was enough to fade the burning fire. Everyone at the scene had a hunch that they couldn’t catch that monster by any means.
“Looks like I can suppress that intrusive chill. But, my queen, I think I need to change my words. Maybe this time I need your strength.”
Seeing her own arrow blocked, Kara made her decision and proposed to Serenian first.
She said that since the spirit of cold that she contracted with her can crush and suppress the enemy’s power, catch the enemy through the gap revealed at that time.
“I will.”
“Okay, shoot right now.”
As Serenian accepted her offer of course, Kara drew up her own power and unleashed a powerful cold blast into her crater.
The source of the cold spirit is dry ice, which is made at a temperature that is incomparable to that of ice, and burns its entire body.
The temperature was unbearable even for the mutant ant ghosts that endured even in this cold frozen soil.
‘I froze.’
Serenian saw that the movement of the enemy, who had taken a stance as if he would raise his chin and rush at any moment, slowed down in the strong cold wind.
In the end, Kara, in her own words, won the battle for her strength.
“Let’s go.”
Instantly, Serenian summoned the Lightning Spirit and this time delivered the final blow to the enemy who dared not block his blow.
Then, the thunderbolt striking through the hazy smoke made of cold air pierced the target as it was in an instant, and the exploded pieces flew out in all directions.
‘It’s over.’
This figure was also seen in his eyes as he stood outside and quietly looked inside the refrigerator.
It was an explosion worse than the smallest firecracker, but I saw with my magnified gaze the people on the ground wriggling and cheering.
