Episode 296-The Great War (16)
‘One step forward.’
Everyone had a hunch. Just one step forward, we will be able to achieve our long-desired goals.
“Die, you evil…Kehehehehe.”
“Stop it!”
The Eden soldiers desperately trying to stop the imperial army, the Orca approaching the Serenian while cutting down the Eden soldiers, and the Serenian gritting his teeth and running away.
He is also sitting quietly on the veranda, looking down at the flower pot, waiting for them. He was quietly looking at the flower pot and rolling the laser in his hand.
When the Eden side was finally defeated and scattered into four divisions. Serenian took only a few people and ran into the previously prepared entrance to Eden.
“Your Excellency! It seems suspicious! “I can’t help but think that by choosing to fight when you can’t even fight properly, you are deliberately attracting your allies!”
“The ambush just now was their secret trick. “That went astray, so there’s nothing left for them now.”
Some of the staff tried to stop Orca from running away. However, Orca, who saw the Eden army throwing away their lives and breaking apart, was unable to think one step further in this urgent situation.
His archenemy is running away before his eyes. He was a nemesis who had become so weak that he could sever its delicate neck with just a slight downward stroke, without even needing to emit sword energy.
‘I will finally cut this damn knot this time.’
He held the magic sword and pursued Serenian mercilessly.
It was nearly impossible for Orca, who was only looking at Serenian’s back, as well as the Imperial Army, who were busy chasing after him, to realize that the forest they were currently crossing was an artificial place created from scratch in just two days.
“Don’t run away ugly. If you are the seed of a true warrior, you should die proudly. Can you just leave his men behind and live on your own?”
Orca jumped off the ground in one go and got closer, step by step, towards the Serenian ahead of him. As her others sacrificed themselves one by one to protect her, Orca, who wiped the blood splattered from her face, did not even have time to doubt her.
The level of urgency was such that, even though he passed a certain point and felt a strange sensation momentarily running over his body, he ignored it.
“You will be punished from heaven. “The judgment of an angry heaven.”
“You still have a mouth.”
Orca and Serenian finally passed through the deep, dark, tunnel-like canyon.
Orca, who reached a wetland-like area with only a small number of troops who had followed him to the end, grinned at the sight of Serenian, who was out of breath with the three soldiers guarding his side.
“Do you think I’m lying?”
“…What?”
But Serenian, who was glaring at him, soon chuckled. Orca’s eyes instinctively got goosebumps from that laugh, and he saw a red barrier between the haphazardly planted trees.
That red barrier is the wall of the flower pot. Orca, whose smile had disappeared, saw this for the first time in his life, but he intuitively realized what kind of situation he was in.
“Let’s see if this holds up.”
At the same time, Seunghyeon aimed the toy gun and pulled the trigger at the flower pot.
***
The moment when everything can go well, or when everything can go to waste.
Until now, there has been no one outside the flower pot that has withstood my attacks. Even huge demonic beasts and warriors trained in mana are just small creatures the size of a fingernail to me.
Therefore, the flimsy toy bullets and lasers I fired became a powerful disaster to any enemy that dared to invade my flower pot.
But now I was nervous too. I don’t know why, but I wasn’t sure that I could overcome that powerful enemy called Orca with this overwhelming power.
It wasn’t just because I heard a lot of bad things about orca. This is a type of intuition that has continued since my time as a hunter.
That’s why I gritted my teeth so as not to let my guard down.
“Sky!”
“Damn it, avoid it!!”
In the enlarged view, I could see them panicking and panicking. The first thing I did was destroy the hills and rocks I had built near the portal to block the escape route.
The toy gun specially prepared for this job is a gun that has been modified to be much stronger than the pistol previously used.
The fired bullets all fell into the ground, destroying the terrain that the residents had built step by step.
Now Orca and the Imperial Army are trapped inside the flower pot.
My immediate impulse was to just pour water or oil into the flower pot and set it on fire, but since I really couldn’t do that, I picked up a laser that can shoot the contents of the flower pot with much more precision.
‘…’
A single laser strikes the flower pot as a ray of judgment that burns the ground. It wasn’t something I had done once or twice.
When I turned my vision back to normal, I couldn’t even hear their screams, and the fearsome imperial army just turned into a speck of dust in my eyes and burned to death.
‘Do you know it’s the end?’
The others could not even resist and were burned to death as if they were evaporating alive.
Now all that’s left is Orca. As he looked at the sky and took a step back, he quickly aimed the laser and shot before running away.
What is he thinking and saying as he wins an important battle and is on his way to victory? I didn’t really want to know any more about that man the size of his fingernails.
“—!!”
“Hey, you crazy bastard…”
The problem is that that crazy monster is blocking the laser I’m shooting from the front with a sword that raises mana.
Of course, it seems like there is a limit to how much power I can sustain, but even with something the size of my fingernail, I could feel the power radiating from my entire body.
“Who dares judge me? “Show yourself, evil spirit!!!”
As I zoomed in, I saw this crazy guy clenching his teeth so hard that they bled, then screaming and starting to walk forward one step at a time.
Serenian was so shocked that he took a step back.
Furthermore, he must have adapted to my barrage of laser attacks in a short period of time, crossing his two swords and cutting my lasers in several directions.
I couldn’t help but be shocked. Is this an appearance that a mere human can show? It got to that point and I couldn’t stop it from rushing forward.
“I don’t want to take it easy.”
I used my ability to shoot a laser fixed in the air, then raised my gun and fired at him.
Even if you overcome the laser, you won’t be able to stop the numerous bullets firing in that state.
“It worked out better. “I will personally trample this world.”
It was then that the sword Orca was holding began to pulsate and deform. What looked like an ordinary long sword revealed its true form.
A uniquely shaped sword with a pitch-black blade and a red jewel like an eye embedded in the guard, giving off an evil aura.
Orca, who was blocking the laser, threw the magic sword into the air, and the magic sword moved on its own and spewed out black slashes in all directions.
It seems that it is not without a price. Still, Orca, who was a handsome young man on the outside, gradually lost his human form and became a demon.
[System hit detection]
The slashes not only cut off the bullets I fired, but also hit the ground and trees on the flower pot, the wall of the flower pot, and even the intangible force surrounding the flower pot.
Dangerous-looking letters appeared above the flower pot. No matter how much force I applied, it wouldn’t budge, and it seems to be shaking because I hit it from the inside.
[Come to your senses. [Next steps are needed]
“Next step? What’s the next step for that crazy guy? Are we really going to start a fire? Should I at least order the whole water?”
The urgent cry of the wind spirit finally caught my spirit.
Serenian has already evacuated. The orca that withstood my attack also crawled over to another flower pot.
‘I have to do it. With my true strength.’
At that moment, I realized something and stood up.
I definitely said I would help them myself. But I’m not at my best right now. At best, it’s just shooting toy guns and shooting lasers.
In the opportunity they gave me by risking their lives, I was only playing around with my own standards.
“Leah, go and tell Serenian to come ‘there’. Hurry.”
I held the walkie-talkie and spoke while looking at the bonsai pot with the world tree in it. Among the residents who were trembling with fear at the news of Orca’s infiltration, I called Leah, a high elf girl next to the radio.
[You want to deal with Orca directly? It would be more reasonable to sacrifice the flower pot. The power you have is by no means small. You can become a god and control this small world, so why bother confronting it head on?]
“Because there is a more secure way to tie the knot than this. Even if I create a water hell or a fire hell in the first place, I think that guy will still be alive. And I…I want to beat that guy up myself.”
After putting down the radio, I immediately headed to the herb pot in the living room.
I was confident that Serenian would follow my words. Her orca, who has lost her mind and only pursues her, will also chase after her and come to her herb pot this time.

I didn’t think it was a groundless action.
This is because I roughly realized why Orca was trying so hard to capture and kill Serenian. It’s clear that he’s a monster, and he’s strong.
But I can beat him.
