“So, I would like to hear the answer. Would you like to join us? Will you join us in saving this world and taking control of it? Lord Northmund?”

I sighed softly at the old man’s words.

Then, it clicked its tongue slightly and lightly licked its sharp teeth with its long tongue, which is characteristic of reptiles.

A sight that resembles a snake flicking its tongue. Of course, Elm’s race is quite different from that of snakes, but at first glance, we can say that the similarities are quite strong.

“Pa, please talk quickly. I’m sorry if it seems like I’m urging you on, but uh, the reason you’re so hesitant when you’re making this suggestion is… .”

Bright looked nervously and opened his mouth in a voice that was crawling toward me.

The conflicting feelings of not wanting to have anything to do with me and the conflicting feelings of not wanting to listen to the story of the chief whom he respected so much collided, so it was a voice that inevitably came out like an ant crawling.

When I saw that, I smiled a little.

Anyone who knows my identity and has been with me for a long time would probably know what my reaction means, so they might have gulped dry saliva at this development.

Sticking out your tongue and brushing your front teeth is the reaction I see when I make up my mind.

In particular, as it was seen just before a battle, it would not be strange at all for it to immediately jump out and start violence or bloodshed.

You could say it’s a kind of omen.

“Heh.”

When I saw that, I chuckled and snorted with a cold look in my eyes.

Bright, feeling an inexplicable horror at that sight, secretly takes a step back and the old man asks me back with a stern expression.

“It’s a rejection. Why?”

“I don’t want to talk about the obvious for a long time.”

At the same time as I said that, I swung my greatsword sharply.

A large sword wind arises, and the same clicking sound rings out again.

“Why? Wasn’t your goal to rule this world? From what we saw, Northmund, we thought your goals were aligned with ours.”

“There are two things you guys don’t know.”

Kugoogung!

As soon as I utter the words, powerful magical power explodes around me.

Magic and magic react, creating a huge air current that rises high into the air, as if a sudden gust of wind has arisen.

I grinned in satisfaction at the sight and snapped my fingers, and before I knew it, a blade of wind took shape and flew towards them with a howl that tore through the air.

“First, I do not take orders from anyone.”

As the blade of wind flew by, I tapped my foot and pulled back.

A strong swing of the great sword cuts off the old man’s long, stylish hair.

“Ugh!”

The leader of the ring bridge, who narrowly escaped my great sword, will lose his standing posture and be torn in two by the next sword swing!

The greatsword is struck down, and this time the clicking sound rings out.

This time, my great sword, which struck his head diagonally, cut through the air as it passed through the old man’s body, making an inexplicable metallic sound.

“Two, unfortunately I have already sworn.”

“hawk, oath?”

The old man frowns and expresses doubt as he receives my words. This time, it seemed like he had lost some composure.

At the sight I had expected, I smiled a little and stamped my foot loudly.

“To slaughter all demons.”

“Huh.”

“It doesn’t matter what the true intention is. Since I, Elm, have decided so, they must all be slaughtered.”

“Elderly!”

As the sword strikes continue, the composure on the old man’s face disappears, and Conductor Bright screams as if he were torn apart.

‘It works.’

A split second, a split second as the battle continues. A small sense of leisure passes through my mind.

And at the same time as Bright screams, a new presence is heard from a short distance away.

It was a small light.

Rather than light, should I say it was a small electric current? Perhaps that was her ability.

Does he have similar abilities to one of my students, that blonde Russian guy, Alexander Ivanovich? A thought like that passed through my head for a moment.

‘But it’s weak.’

As I slashed my sword at the old man, I turned my gaze towards her for a moment and let out a small laugh.

His abilities were too weak to be considered a lightning-type ability.

Ivanovic, whose ability development has progressed to a certain degree, has the ability to drop a huge lightning bolt from the sky as if he were Zeus of Olympus.

However, on the contrary, the current coming out of the hand of the conductor in front of me was at the level of crackling static electricity, which honestly could not be considered an electric current.

That level wouldn’t be enough to properly kill an ordinary person. It didn’t seem like it would cause any more damage than the sting you feel when you take off your sweater on a winter day.

“Hmm?”

The moment I predicted my victory.

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dan!

Suddenly, loud noises began to echo from all directions.

What looked like iron rods were sticking out from the walls on all sides, and fire was spewing out from the ends.

As soon as I figured out what looked like a rebar, I slammed my sword down on the ground, turned around and hugged her who was standing behind me, and reflexively deployed my mana shield once again.

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-dang!

The muzzle of a gun, which appears to be hundreds of guns at a glance, is spewing fire at me, and the acrid smell of gunpowder tickles my olfactory system.

As Yoon Shia’s small sound of surprise in my arms rings out, warheads that appear to be rocket launchers begin to fly incessantly.

‘Is this this woman’s ability?’

It was a cross-saturation that was almost unpleasant. I felt this before, but it seems that the reason why the Ring Bridge used this city as a colosseum to deal with me was because of this preparation.

And perhaps the ability of this conductor called Bright is the ability to manipulate mechanical devices using electric current.

The pre-installed firearm was activated using electric current fired from the fingertips.

“Die! Die Northmund! Haaap!”

It was hard to hear because of the loud noise of the gunpowder exploding, but it felt like the voice that was supposed to be Conductor B was mixed in with the tearing explosion.

“School, professor!”

“… It’s a unique experience.”

I chuckled as I watched the overlapping Mana Shield gradually crack.

It was a truly unique experience, as I said. Until now, I had only dealt with monsters, but today I encountered an enemy that really used thermal weapons, the essence of modern science.

So far, the only enemies that have used firearms have been friendly fire by friendly forces or the ridiculous suicide attempts of circulating believers in the past.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!

I broke into a cold sweat for a moment as I felt her embrace me more tightly.

How much ammunition does this woman have prepared?

Assuming that the entire city is fortified, wouldn’t it be possible to maintain this crossfire for several minutes?

Suddenly, a gun experiment I saw on a video site flashed through my mind.

Roughly speaking, I remember seeing that when bullets were continuously fed into a machine gun and a series of shots were fired, after about 2 minutes, the entire barrel melted and the inside of the gun was stuck and no more ammunition could be fired.

‘Then about two minutes?’

Clink.

A layer of the shield exploded, and as I watched it, I let out a sigh and laughed lightly.

‘Weak.’

I don’t know who owns the psychedelic fashion that is currently making a desperate attack on me, but the person currently receiving that desperate attack was laughing lightly.

In front of the shield I deployed, crushed and crushed bullets were piled up, creating a mountain.

When the mountain builds up to a certain extent, the grenade launcher bullet hits, causing an explosion, collapsing the mountain structure and scattering it in all directions.

As if I keep throwing eggs with a deadly will toward an impenetrable rock, the countless pieces of lead coated with brass that touch my shield are crushed and fall down without maintaining their shape.

She may not be able to see me because I am enveloped in a large amount of dust and gunpowder smoke, but as I continue to hear cheers, I think she may be thinking that she will win in the end.

But now only one layer has been broken. Even in the center of the explosion that seemed to have exploded hundreds of tons of TNT just moments ago, my shield was only shattered in four layers.

Does he not know that lead bullets can’t harm me at all?

“Fuuhu.”

That was the source of my smile. That you can win,

The girl, who believed that Northmund would turn into a beehive and even disappear after this bombardment, was so cute that the urge to hit her on the head was running up my spine.

And if there is a beginning, there is always an end.

It was true that as long as consumables such as ammunition, rather than permanent engines, existed, Conductor Bright’s attacks were bound to come to an end at some point.

And that fact has become reality.

“What, what! No way!”

I snapped my fingers to clear away the dust that was blocking my view, and the shocked appearance of Conductor Bright came into view.

“No, Northmund, there must be a limit to the amount of your magical power!”

A sense of satisfaction arose from that astonishment. Yes, that’s exactly what I wanted to see.

“An attack prepared by garbage is just garbage.”

I scoffed openly and looked down at my feet.

It can be said to be truly spectacular. I probably saw all the bullets I will ever see in my life today.

Even when I went to the front line with the soldiers of the International Defense Organization, I had never seen such a large number of warheads.

“… Maybe you wanted to attack my ears.”

Although I was able to block the bullet, it was true that I felt a little dizzy.

This is because the sound of bullets pouring down into Yongin’s hearing organs, which were much more sensitive than usual, was actually ringing in his ears.

And it seemed that the same was true for the conductor who had prepared the attack, as she too was stumbling and covering her ears.

I don’t even know if he heard my sarcasm correctly. I felt a little sad about that fact.

“Ugh… Yeah, I don’t think you’ll die from this… I did it! This secondary attack… .”

The moment she continued to stumble and stutter,

Whoosh, someone next to me kicked the ground like the wind, and then boom! The sound of a piece of meat being hit hard was heard.

‘Eh.’

Bewildered for a moment by the unexpected situation, my eyes were busy following the movement.

As I moved my gaze and followed a figure who had run out next to me, I saw that he was cutting through the wind and sticking his toe into Conductor Bright’s abdomen.

At the same time, the sound of something hard breaking was heard.

“Keeee!”

I put aside the question of how I could hear a breaking sound when I kicked a weak stomach and continued to stare at her, this time I saw her hitting Bright with her fist.

“Uh, wow!”

Seeing the sight as if it were being hit with a huge industrial sledgehammer, Bright hurriedly raised his arm and tried to block it, but the moment their hands crossed, Conductor’s arm broke like a twig and Yunsia’s fist hit her. It burns on the collarbone.

“Kkieeeek!”

I heard a sound crying in pain that made me wonder if it was a human sound, and at the same time, I realized something.

It was truly something that could be called “power”.

It was such pure power that it transcended any level.

The situation of the egg being thrown towards the rock is reversed, as if the rock is hit towards the egg this time.

The rock lightly breaks the egg, crushes it, and buries it in the ground.

Looking at that scene, I stuck my tongue out.

Yoon Sia, even though this child doesn’t have magical powers, he is truly incredibly strong physically.

Even though he was hit by my fist and thrown against the wall, he somehow got back up again and was playing with this conductor like a cat hunting a mouse.

And once again her kick struck the nun.

Paaang!

A cheerful sound, like a professional soccer player kicking the elastic World Cup official ball, rings out, and the unlucky nun, who has been turned into a soccer ball, is once again thrown into the concrete wall.

It was similar to the one I had struck a while ago, but something was different this time, as the nun was thrown into the wall, creating a huge crack, and could no longer get up.

All I could hear was my body twitching slightly and moaning in pain.

The dragon horn woman, who was gasping with excitement at the sight, took a deep breath as if to calm herself down, then turned lightly toward me and smiled.

“The naughty girl who attacked the professor was dealt with.”

“Uh, uhh.”

Seeing him as if he was asking me to praise him, I forgot what I was going to say for a moment and ended up saying something stupid.

This is what it felt like. That’s why people around me always looked stupid when I went into battle.

It’s a shame, but it was only today that I was able to discuss those feelings openly.

“Well, you did well.”

“Hehe.”

Feeling somewhat awkward, I shrugged my shoulders and let out a small sigh. As if that was enough of an answer, she walked behind me again, laughing.

When she caught my eye for a moment, I felt like she was pressing me hard, so I touched my chin.

A slightly awkward atmosphere flowed, and soon someone who broke the atmosphere appeared.

“Kuhm… .”

After clearing my throat, I came to my senses again, grabbed my sword, and aimed it in the direction where the sound came from. Still, he’s a sensible old man.

“It’s surprising that you dealt with that child, but it doesn’t work on this body anyway, Lord Northmund.”

“Shouldn’t we wait and see about that?”

“… .”

Magical power flowed through the sword body, and the sword body, which had been converted into a mana weapon, glowed brightly.

And the fact that the tip of the sword is still pointing at The One, the leader of the Ring Bridge, has not changed.

“Your sword power is much weaker than usual, Lord Northmund. It looks like the mana has already run out. What the Duke is doing now is not courage, but fortitude.”

“No, it’s you who doesn’t know.”

“What?”

“Nothing has changed since the moment I arrived here. I kill you and you are killed. That’s just it.”

“Hehe, I really want it. The story really doesn’t make sense. Was it foolish to offer human advice to an animal that knows no rules of etiquette?”

No, it’s the old man who doesn’t know.

Because I already realized his abilities.

Therefore, what I said will not change at all.

Wow!

My foot hits the ground and the ground cracks and cracks.

And the Mana Weapon, with its rapid acceleration and the weight of my large dragon, was struck towards the old man.
