Episode 465: With great power comes great responsibility. (3)

Dentaria was a little confused. The opponent she thought was top-level turned out to be a superhuman.

"Huh? Why? There's another superhuman in the Northern Army?"

This would have thrown the operation into disarray considerably, since the plan was made on the assumption that there would be no more superhumans in the Northern Army.

A cruel light soon appeared in his shaking eyes.

'Maybe this is our chance.'

I didn't know there were hidden superhumans. But if I kill that elf here, the danger factor will definitely disappear.

It is not known whether the opponent's skill is higher or lower than yours, but there are three superhuman-level strong people on this side.

'Joint attack... ... .'

When Dentaria tried to call the other superhumans, Erenes moved first.

Pfft!

Thud!

"Ugh!"

Before Dentaria could do anything, Erenes grabbed her by the neck.

Kwaaang!

Dentaria, who was crushed to the ground, made a terrified expression.

'S, breath... ... .'

The strength of the opponent was enormous. Even though he was only grabbed by the neck, I couldn't breathe.

Ddd ...

"Ugh… … ."

It felt like a mountain was pressing down on my neck. If I continued like this, my neck would break.

Dentaria raised his spirits even higher. Black energy surged out from both of his hands.

Kwaaaaaaaah!

I poured out my energy, but Erenes had already disappeared.

"Cough, gulp! Gulp!"

Dentaria quickly got up from her seat and looked back with a start.

He crossed his arms, mustering up his energy in a hurry.

Flash!

Kwaaaaang!

Wood crunch!

Dentaria was hit by the green energy and was blown away. The two arms that were blocking the flash were broken.

"Kwaaah! You bitch! What the hell are you doing!"

Paaaaaaa!

A black aura emanated from Dentaria's body and wrapped around his broken arm. The broken arm was held in place by the aura.

Wings made of black light sprouted from his back. Long, black claws of energy protruded from his hands.

It was the power of high-ranking priests that was rarely used. Dentaria drew out her power to the limit.

"Don't make fun of my powers!"

Dentaria shouted in anger after being hit by an elf whose identity was unknown.

Kwaaaaang!

Dentaria turned into a black light and shot out.

It doesn't make sense for an elf with powers that surpass my own to suddenly appear like this. At first, I was just taken aback and taken aback. That's for sure.

"Die!!!"

He brandished his devil-like claws with a distorted expression.

It was a force so strong that it distorted and split space. I thought it would be absolutely impossible for the opponent to block or avoid it.

But Dentaria only cut down Erenes' afterimage.

"I have already moved to his side, avoiding his attacks," said Erenes.

"You are not true superhumans. You are just parasites who feed on scraps."

Flash!

Kwaaaaang!

Another flash of light occurred and Dentaria collapsed with her side caved in.

"Kwaaaaak!"

He fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

The power had to relieve the pain. The full pain could not be felt until the power was completely consumed.

But then I felt a terrible pain in my side. I had no idea what was going on.

I thought it was because I didn't have enough concentrated sexual energy in the injured area, so I tried moving my sexual energy, but it didn't have much effect.

'Sir, could it be... that woman's attack contained more power than that?'

It meant that the power was so strong that it could ignore the effects of the Holy Power. Even though I didn't get hit a few times, an enormous amount of Holy Power was consumed.

Damn it.

Erenes continued, looking down at Dentaria with eyes filled with contempt.

"You guys are in a bad situation. Compared to 'back then', you guys are really in a bad situation."

"Wh, what are you talking about… … ."

"You're acting like a superhuman with only half your strength."

The high priests of the Salvation Church occupy time and space similar to supermen, because they have completely established their own world through the power of faith.

However, they were bound to lack skills and experience. They had not constantly refined themselves, but rather received a special power called sexual power, and so they were unable to properly utilize that power.

"You guys are weaker than Equidema."

Equidema, the monster of the cracks, fights with the instincts of a beast. The strength that comes from its strong body and wild nature is difficult even for superhumans to handle.

But priests are not. They have only power, but they have no skills, experience, or instincts to handle that power. That is why they are called half-supermen.

"Ugh… … ."

Dentaria grabbed her side and backed away as if crawling.

You can't win. If you keep fighting like this, you'll lose your life and the operation will fail.

Erenes just watched Dentaria's dirty behavior and then asked.

"Is there anything else?"

"What, what are you talking about?"

"Are you the only superhuman? Then you will die here."

"This cheeky… … ."

Dentaria's eyes lit up. She was too busy dodging to call out, but she had planned to attack from the beginning anyway. There was nothing wrong with letting her opponent down his guard like this.

"Hit this bitch right now!"

As Dentaria shouted, pillars of black light rose up where Erenes had been.

Boom! Boom!

Erenes stepped back and looked at the opposing camp.

Her eyes lit up as she saw two priests flying towards her.

"Three?"

There are three superhumans. If it weren't for him, the Northern Army would have suffered significant losses.

As the two priests intervened, Dentaria soared into the sky and laughed.

"You cheeky elf. No matter how strong you are, do you think you can handle three people?"

The priests were confident. No matter how lacking their skills may be, if they have three superhumans, their power becomes too strong to ignore.

Because they can complement each other and fight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Black auras struck all around. This time, even Erenes couldn't help but look at them as a joke, as she was busy dodging them.

There was a slight commotion in the northern army camp when they saw this sight.

"There really was more, right?"

Alfoy looked at Claude, trembling.

Claude told Erenes that he needed to check how many superhumans there were.

- If you can kill them, kill them right away. However, if you can overwhelm them, you should bring in more superhumans. You need to know your opponent's power exactly so you can respond appropriately.

If Erenes overpowers the first superhuman that appears, the opposing superhumans will try to kill Erenes even if it means attacking together.

Because you wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to kill someone that strong.

Claude, who had created this situation, leaned back in his chair arrogantly and spoke.

"It's obvious to experts like me. I always say that war is like a card game. It requires psychological warfare. And in the end, the one with the better hand wins."

Kaor sneered, draping his sword over his shoulder.

"What about experts? You always lose when you bet with Youngju, right?"

"… … That person is out of the norm."

In any case, Claude's idea was accepted. If they had ignored Erenes and rushed at him all at once, it would have been a bit of a headache for them too, but the other party accepted it.

Kaor tilted his head.

"Why did they accept this? If they knew that there was no lord on this side anyway, it would have been better to just push them away. Wouldn't it be better to increase the damage on this side a little more?"

"Tsk, tsk, that's not how a commander feels. He'd want to reduce his troop consumption even a little since he's at a disadvantage because of the catapults. Even if he's just a top-tier knight, he'd take a lot of damage when facing them. That's why he'd want to kill them before he gets the chance."

"joy...."

Kaor pouted. It's unlucky to pretend to be the only smart one. I just don't like it.

Alfoy looked at Claude with a slightly admiring look.

'I guess I have to play card games.'

I thought it would really stimulate my brain.

Claude spoke brazenly and arrogantly, so no one noticed, but in fact his true feelings were a little different from his words.

A cold sweat ran down his back.

'Wow, he's really strong. That's it? Does that make sense? Isn't he stronger than the real lord?'

I said this without much expectation, but Erenes really was fighting with three superhumans.

Even if a priest lacks combat experience, his strength is superhuman. This means that even if he gets hit once, it's no different than getting hit by a superhuman.

I couldn't believe it even though I saw it with my own eyes, dealing with three of those guys at the same time.

'Should I just barge into the Duke's house like this?'

Even though I knew it was impossible, Erenes' performance was impressive enough to make me think that way for a moment.

Alpoy, who had been watching, said with a slightly worried expression.

"Three of them are coming at you, are you okay? Don't we have to help them now? Let's get Vanessa out quickly! We have to show them some spicy food!"

I had no intention of going out myself. If I got stuck there, my body would be torn apart in an instant. In times like these, Alpoy had good judgment skills.

Tennant drew his sword and spoke to Claude.

"I'm going out."

Kaoru also swayed with his sword slung over his shoulder.

"You and this friend can go out together. Those priests can't fight anymore."

Kaor had already caught Raviere with Giselle. He knew that while the priests were strong and fast, they were significantly lacking in technique.

So I figured if I and Tennant went out, I'd be able to catch them easily.

But Claude shook his head.

"No, no. Let's wait a little longer."

If it was dangerous, they decided to retreat or send a signal. However, Erenes was still fighting cautiously.

It means that they will kill one by any means necessary.

It is not yet known whether there are more superhumans on the other side. However, if Erenes kills one and no more appear,

'Those three are all there are.'

In times of war, it is very important to determine whether there are superhumans, because the strategies that can be used will change accordingly.

Now Erenes was carrying out Claude's orders with utmost certainty.

Thanks to this, I also learned that there were at least three superhumans. I could feel the enemy's intention to trample on the Northern Army while the lord was away.

Claude said, gesturing around.

"Still, you should prepare to fight. If you send out three of them and get pushed back, they'll go crazy too."

While the Northern Army watched the fight tensely, Count Mathes of the Delphine Army also clenched his fists and watched the four men's attack and defense.

"Wow, who the hell is that elf?"

I sent out all three superhumans. But they still couldn't kill the opponent right away. Unless the enemy commander was stupid, he would have formed separate knights to deal with it.

There's a huge difference between a superhuman storming in by surprise and striking when you have the power to tie them up.

But that was a problem that could only be worried about when the three superhumans defeated the elves.

"Seo, you won't support me, right?"

I definitely saw them getting pushed one-on-one. But I didn't think three of them would lose.

Because joint attacks always produce several times greater power.

"But why are you just sitting there?"

At this point, people from the northern army camp should have come out to help. But no one came out.

The fact that he just watched as if nothing was wrong only made Count Mates more nervous.

He was worried and said to his adjutant.

"Get ready to hit right away."

"yes?"

"We will monitor the situation and if the priests are in danger, we will charge."

"But the knight war is still… … ."

"You idiot. If three people go against one, the battle is our loss. Isn't there no one coming out on the other side?"

"Oh, I understand."

The morale of the soldiers watching fell even further. It was as if the knightly battle was already over.

Now, I had no choice but to rush in right away when I saw an opening. An opportunity would definitely arise.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fight became increasingly violent. With the three superhumans complementing each other with their powerful strength, Erenes was having a hard time overpowering them.

But her eyes were still fixed carefully, as if she was aiming at something.

Dentaria, floating in the sky, laughed loudly and shouted.

"You act like you're so smart! You're really cool! Stop this too!"

Gooooooo… … .

Dentaria's eyes turned a deep purple and an enormous amount of energy began to emanate from his entire body.

Anyway, I couldn't win with technology. That's why I planned to use my strong power to burn down the surrounding area.

Not Erenes, but the northern army.

'If this attack is successful, Count Mathes will move.'

Once I was ready, I planned to leave Erenes behind and head straight for the northern army. The other priests could hold on to that elf.

In the meantime, the Northern Army will suffer heavy losses from its own attacks. Count Mathes will certainly not miss this opportunity.

Gooooooo… … .

Before I knew it, black energy began to ripple out from Dentaria's body, one by one.

It was the technique that Raviere used when fighting against Giselle. The strongest technique of the high priests, which uses strong force to pull out thousands of strands of energy and scorch the surrounding area.

When they, who lacked skills, encountered a powerful superhuman, it could be said to be a finishing move that allowed them to pour all their strength into turning the tables in one fell swoop.

Even a superhuman wouldn't be able to avoid this attack, much less a normal soldier.

'Stupid elf bitch. How cheeky of you to show off. You'll regret it when you see your allies fall.'

At that moment, Erenes, who was avoiding the attacks of other priests, had his eyes light up.

Ddddddd.

New vines grew again from her left arm, tightly wrapped in wooden armor.

The vines, intertwined and soon forming the shape of a giant bow, were held in her left hand.

The decisive weapon of Erenes, one of the seven powers of the continent and the guardian of the World Tree.

Elven Serenade.

Paaaaaaa… … .

As she pulled the string with her right hand, a green arrow emitting a brilliant light was created.

She continued to dodge the priests' attacks while drawing her arrow, and finally stopped moving.

At that moment, Dentaria, who was aiming at the northern army camp, felt a huge energy and lowered his head.

A green light flashed in the distance.

"S, no way… … that elf… … ."

Before Dentaria could even think of anything.

Phew!

An arrow of light pierced his heart.
