Episode 274-Encirclement (4)
“It’s a bit frustrating because I can’t hear about the situation on site right away.”
“I said everything is going according to plan. “We also took care of all the airships.”
“If we end up fighting, it is inevitable that there will be casualties.”
He laughed weakly at the words of Pia, who is currently in charge of Eden’s defense on behalf of the absent Serenian. It doesn’t make sense to make no sacrifices once you decide to fight, but you can’t ignore it either.
I wanted each other to get along well, but it was impossible to be obedient to the other person as long as he said he would bite me in the end.
“Hans said that the moment we shoot down the airships, we will be able to win without difficulty.”
“We will win. “It means that the moment the airships were hit, they completely missed us.”
After checking the videos of the dwarf warrior Naria taken by Pia, I nodded.
The most powerful weapon we have is the ability to bring out things that the other person did not expect, which can be obtained through ‘I’.
The same goes for the drones that were used just before, as well as the gunpowder weapons that Serenian decided to actively use this time. The other person may have things like that, but the things I can predict, like magic and all, will probably be different from the things I give them.
‘Did you say that things like glass were given by the gods of the mythical era?’
In the mythical era that took place more than a thousand years ago in the other world, the participants would have provided various supports to the beings they cared for, just like I do now.
However, as the landlord testified, those times had their own limitations. As time passed, some things were lost or disappeared, so it was impossible to freely obtain and place various items as I do now.
“Then what if they steal the grace given by heaven?”
“…The world originally developed that way.”
Pia was naturally worried about technology leaks and duplication. It was a question I also thought about.
But after thinking about it that way, I concluded that it wouldn’t be much of a problem. Unless they do their own research and improvement, it will be impossible for them to skip the intermediate process and copy or analyze the items I give them right now.
And rather, I believed that I would eventually improve through that process.
“Right now, I’m more worried about whether Serenian is safe.”
I am sure that we will have the advantage in a war between groups, but I am not sure about the battles between individuals that will occur in the process.
There were once strong people called heroes on the other side, and it was Serenian who had to deal with them.
“When will it be opened?”
I sighed and looked at the tightly closed portal of the herb pot. Because of her feelings, I want to fight alongside her. I have felt this way for a very long time.
However, the flower pot has not yet allowed me to enter. Inevitably, it occurred to me that I would have to reach the end of this project when I could finally head into their world.

“Elf Queen!”
“Heinz, the mercenary king. “What shame did the man who incited Ercilla to burn down the great forest have to come here?”
As Seunghyeon expected, Serenian set out to deal with Heinz, the leader of the enemies. Although both were representatives of both factions, they were also warriors accustomed to fighting to the death on the field.
“Why do I need to talk so long? “It’s about struggling to survive in this sh*tty world.”
“Who knows? “They can’t bear to be part of the empire, so they become their dogs and try to attack us, who are relatively easy to deal with.”
“W-what..?”
He took his time, but Serenian continued to lash out at his opponent, whom he had met in person for the first time in a long time. He was mesmerized by the explicit comment that hit the nail on the head and was unlikely to come from the mouth of a typical elf queen who seemed noble.
“I can see how much you must have been worried and racked your brains with your trampled pride when the empire ordered you to become a dog. But be prepared, we will never forgive you.”
“This b*tch teases you much better than Ercilla.”
Heinz’s pride suddenly cracked and his eyes twitched. In reality, she wasn’t wrong, so even if they continued to curse at each other like this, the only one who would be hurt was Heinz.
“Then prove it. Stop hiding behind her men and fight!”
He growled and rushed forward. The speed was so fast that even the knights who ran with him to escort him were surprised.
Of course, Serenian had no intention of avoiding him even without his provocation. Under the influence of the wave sealing technique, the elves put down their bows and drew their swords and spears, and also ran behind her and charged towards the opponent.
“Know that the world is scary!”
Wind burst from Heinz’s fist, which he threw out, ignoring the fight of her subordinates, and a shock wave was emitted. The power that made him, a tough mercenary who could turn the ground upside down and crush even the hard-shelled fairy ants, into a hero called the King of Mercenaries.
Serenian, who jumped on top of the fairy ant, did not dodge it but swung the club in his hand.
‘This is His lightning.’
The power of the lightning spirit in that club was amplified, and it literally became a lightning sword. With a rumbling sound, the lightning created in her hand flew straight towards Heinz, crushing his strength and pounced on him.
“Huh!?”
Even though it is localized than the power of Ercilla, which was the storm that covered the entire area, its destructive power concentrated in one point is more than twice as strong.
Heinz, who had not expected this level of force, barely managed to withstand it and was pushed backwards.
“I just made a choice. To change this world without answers! To get rid of the rotten people who only enriched themselves even during the Great War and to open a new era!”
“It’s just a rationalization.”
“Huh, that’s right. In the end, the winner is justice. Only the winner deserves to write history. “I wanted to be that winner.”
Heinz shook off the lightning, looking scorched here and there, bared his teeth, kicked the ground once again, and lunged at Serenian.
His martial arts skills, which have been tempered by rolling and rolling in countless battlefields, are clearly at a level that is difficult for a Serenian, who has used a bow as his main weapon, to handle.
However, the powerful electricity emanating from her body canceled out most of Heinz’s attacks from all directions in a split second. His eyes widened in shock as his mana-clad kick bounced off the electricity that bounced off her body.
“How unfair it must have been for Ercilla. If that god that came four years later had been attached to him, he would have been able to achieve his ambition. “Even I feel so resentful and sad right now.”
Pounced upon her Serenian, Heinz knocked her to the ground, crushed her, and grabbed her by the throat.
But even though he was the one pressing down, Serenian’s slightly frowning expression did not seem to be very painful.
Rather, Heinz’s eyes trembled as he raised his fist. I saw lightning flashing in Serenian’s eyes.
“There is one thing I learned from you. Competition is essential and once you start, you will be eaten the moment you stop. “I guess you’ve been drunk all this time playing king.”
Her lightning spirit continues to grow with her as she works tirelessly. The growth rate was strangely similar to that of Eden.
As Eden and its world tree, which was once a flower pot with nothing in the middle of nowhere, gradually developed with a population of over several thousand and various races gathered together, her spirit grew bigger and bigger.
‘This.’
Heinz was astonished at her own hand that was gradually being pushed aside by her. A crackling bolt of electricity exploded, burning all of his hands, and Serenian, who had been lying down, naturally got up. The powerful wings of lightning surrounding her body sprayed lightning in all directions.
‘Orca misjudged. I guess it doesn’t matter now.’
Heinz sighed as he saw a flash of light shining towards him.
Serenian was right. Heinz ascended the throne with the ambition to rid the world of corrupt nobles and change the world, but from that moment on, he encountered reality and was unable to achieve anything.
As the king of a single kingdom that could not rule even his own kingdom well, there was nothing he could change on his own, and naturally he had not grown since the days of the Great War.
It was a big difference from the Serenian traveling back and forth between Eden and the Great Forest, gaining countless experiences and receiving help in a short period of time, and overcoming all the difficulties.
“Are you okay!?”
“It is impossible for me to fight any more.”
Serenian’s legs were broken as he stood in front of Heinz, who was struck by lightning and died.
Although she appears to have won easily on the outside, she consumed a huge amount of mana in such a short period of time to win the contest of strength, leaving her exhausted to the point where her originally white skin looked even paler. I had to leave it to the elves to take care of her.
‘I guess he didn’t really have any intention of running away.’
As he watched his allies pushing back the enemies, Serenian looked down at Heinz’s body. The fighting spirit I felt from him did not seem to have much of a will to live.
