Chapter 142
A cloud of dust was rising from beyond the horizon.
At the terrifying speed of its approach, the elf lookout on the tree let out a shriek.
At the shriek of the elf lookout, the outpost stirred, and elves poured out regardless of gates or walls.
Meanwhile, the dust cloud had already drawn close.
The arriving elves lined up along the forest’s boundary. Their target: the intruders.
Е̌ n_ũ m а
They drew their bows toward the sky.
Arrows enhanced by wind spirits and fire spirits pounded the ground. Crimson flames erupted where the arrows struck.

In the meantime, the earth spirits raised triple and quadruple walls, and the water spirits dug moats between those walls.
When the enemies are blocked by the walls, arrows can be fired. When they flounder in the moat, magic can be unleashed. And if they somehow reach this far? Then widen the distance and repeat the process.
The enemies, worn out from the pursuit, will despair at seeing the same defenses again. This is our land, and if the war of attrition drags on, the ones to tire first will be the enemies.
When they are exhausted and retreat, that is the time for counterattack. The elves will bare their hidden fangs and annihilate the retreating enemies.
É n̆ umа
This was the elves’ way of war, and the most perfect strategy they could employ.
So they believed.
At least until they faced the assault unit within the dust cloud.
― “Hye-jeong.”

“Yes!!”
― “Can you keep it up till the end?”
Е̂ n ū m.ӓ . і̌d̆
“Yes, yes!!”
― “Good. I’ll decide the path. Keep spreading it.”
From the beginning, it was a misjudgment.
What the elves mistook as a dust cloud was actually the [Poison Fog] exhaled by Lee Hye-jeong.
It was a buff-type poison: its effect reduced the stamina and mana drain, while amplifying the side effects of [Excitement] and [Awakening].
Hye-jeong’s poison fog burst toward the defensive line. Then, the Mountain King’s wind spirit gathered the poison fog and directed its path.

― “Break the defensive line.”
From within the dust cloud, no, the poison cloud, massive spells poured out all at once.
Lightning bolts scorched the defensive walls. A bird of fire flapped its wings, melting its surroundings.
Earthen spikes filled the moat, and an ice barrier blocked any chance for the water spirits to act.
Once the defenses were dismantled, the Mountain King stretched out his arm without hesitation.
At the same time, stumps hurled from the poison cloud swept through the surroundings, carving out a path.

And that was not the end. Soon after, vines spread along that path like a carpet, instantly forming a paved road.
On that road appeared steel boots.

In the League, it had long been fashionable for tanks to have good footing.
Armor weight was reduced, oversized bulk was trimmed. In exchange, mobility and agility were added to enhance operational ability. Add unique skills like offense and buffs, and it was perfection.
Just like Park Jeong-seok and his team.
The meaning of this shift was clear. Stripping away excessive defense from tanks and raising their [operational ability].
Еn̄ u m а
But let’s look at it more fundamentally.
Who was it that led this trend? Who began this era of light-armored tanks with heightened operational ability?
It was this man. The Mountain King, Kim Jong-pil.
It was his trend.

So Lee Shin said: The meta you popularized, Elder, let’s roll it back to those days, when you were at your absolute peak.
― “Yes, a tank should be like a tank.”
E nü m̆ а
Steel boots, full plate armor, tower shields, and helmets covering the entire face.
Not one or two—every single one of them donned heavy gear.
It was a return to the era when tanks were tanks.
Average weight with gear: 250kg.
The old school heavy armor meta.
The flag was raised.

“Haahahaha!! Su-pil, stay behind me, sis!”
“Raise the flag, Su-pil!”
“Louder!!”
“Chaaaarge!!”
The human tanks spurred forward.
With full buffs, full doping, and strengthened by Choi Su-pil’s [Follow Me!], the six-man tank squad charged ahead, eyes fixed only forward.

They blocked storms of arrows with their bare bodies. Fire arrows? Ticklish. Wind spirits? What’s that?
Earthen walls erected? Crushed. Sluggish ground? Ignored, for the Mountain King had already laid the road.

Versatility? Throw it away.
Advance, advance without fail! We only look forward!
The elves were flustered.
It wasn’t enough that their trusted defenses were broken in an instant—the enemy was even faster.
Е̌ nu m̀a
Now they were truly right at the doorstep.
Though they reflexively drew their bowstrings, their panic was evident.
In the end, the elder elves had no choice but to step forward.
Flutter─!
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Two elder elves swept their cloaks and moved to the front.
A fire spirit resembling a monstrous bird and a water spirit in the form of a horse each surged toward earth and sky.
Wе̄b̃n ó v е l Е_n.uḿ а̌
Soon, a sea of fire unfolded toward the assault unit from the forest’s edge. At the same time, countless water spears filled the sky and came crashing down.
It was high-level spirit magic and yet
― “Don’t slow down.”
The Mountain King commanded. Keep running.
Because there were spirits on their side as well.
The highest-grade tree spirit, Vita, strolled gracefully through the air, his eyes curving at the sight of the water horse and fire bird.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was a sneer. How laughable.
You dare, against me?
Vita’s horns shone with green light. Following the light, hawks of wind spread their wings. Then, from the ground, water rats burst forth.
High-level spirit magic? On this side, it was legion-grade spirit magic.
Thousands of wind and water spirits blocked the waves of fire and the spears of water.
As the two barrages collided, a dazzling aurora bloomed. A battlefield bathed in a breathtakingly brilliant aurora.
E n̂ ú_m̊ а́
And under that light, at last, the two formations clashed.
“Got you hahahah!!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“Kill them!!”
The wedge-formation tanks slammed in headfirst. Elves were flung aside, bloody pulp. The remaining elves, without sparing a glance at their fallen comrades, raised their daggers and charged.
Only six. Encircle them and cut off their breath.
A hundred elves raised daggers and bows, forming a net of encirclement.
Еnū m а́.і̌d
But to cut to the chase, it was never completed.
Right before it was, an elf’s head flew off.
“Good work.”
“Our turn now?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“We’ve been itching.”
Close-range dealers, who had followed behind, suddenly drove weapons into the elves’ vitals. Spears through throats, blades severing limbs.
Ŵ e bn̂ ȯ v еl̊ Ênu̇m̃ a
The elves counterattacked, but their opponents merely smirked.
One slipped into the space of an elf targeting his shoulder, and in turn snapped the elf’s neck with a choke.
In the past few days, thanks to Mr. Lee Shin, the raid unit had learned firsthand how far their bodies could be [torn apart] and still be fine.
These attacks were barely tickling.
Attacks they could endure, they took head-on. But they always paid back the pain with certain retribution.
Like beasts, the dealers shredded through the elves’ formation. Through the gaps they opened, ranged dealers rained bombardment. And tanks, regaining their breath, swung maces and warhammers to join in.

It was a real-time massacre.
The elves were desperate. They had to find a weakness, somehow.
And then they spotted a lone human off to the side. Leaning on crutches, seemingly weak, perhaps because of a bad leg.
Sky-blue eyes, frail and delicate.
That must be the weak point. Strike there.
Elves with daggers rushed, followed by elves with drawn bows.
Е n̈ ú m̂ а̃
Of course, they did not know.
That child stood alone because it was too dangerous to mix in. Those crutches were only for peace of mind. And those frail sky-blue eyes were in fact holding the heavens themselves.

“……”
Baek Yeon-woo tossed aside his crutches and strolled forward.
The moment the sword left its sheath and elegantly swept the air, incoming arrows were sliced in half and fell.
With another indifferent stroke, incoming spells unraveled like lies.
Еṅǔ m̀ ǎ .і̌ d́
Then, with a slight twist of his body, an elf attempting a hidden ambush stabbed only empty air.
Eyes that could see not only the trajectory of arrows but the very structure of mana would never miss a thing like [Stealth].
An elf collapsed, blood spraying.
Baek Yeon-woo’s sword cut plainly—downward, upward, sideways, with not a trace of waste.

In this way, Baek Yeon-woo carved his presence onto the battlefield, with a trail of corpses behind him…
And so the momentum of the main force shifted completely to the Mir raid unit.
Еn̆ u ḿ â
At this rate, defeat was certain. The elves had to choose: rally their morale, or retreat.
But the two elder elves, who needed to decide, were not in good shape either.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
-Crunch! Crunch! Crunch……!
Hwarang whirls his cape as he relentlessly slams his shield charge forward.
A high-speed shield charge made up of advances, retreats, and quick directional shifts.

When Hwarang’s specialty—his endless activity—is added to this, it completes an offensive-and-defensive fighting style that can’t be stopped, even if seen coming.
There are only two ways to escape this hell.
Either suppress Hwarang in close combat, or widen the distance.
For the Elder Elf, the latter was the only option. Clashing with Hwarang in melee was suicide.
But a monster was already blocking their retreat. Park Su-bin, with the milk-white giant’s arms spread wide.
“You cannot pass.”
Eňum̆а̀
The Elder Elf’s spirits had tried earlier to secure a retreat, but failed for this very reason.
The monstrous bird of fire spewed crimson flames, and the horse of water shot lances, swords, bows, axes—every sort of watery weapon.

But none of it mattered.
The giant’s arms crushed them. Sometimes, one arm split into countless spheres, thoroughly blocking the surroundings.
From the elves to the Elder Elves, none could do anything. Truly surrounded on all sides.
There was only one thing they could do.
Ѐn̂ù m ӑ
— “Request rescue.”
The Mountain King, floating in the sky, looked beyond the horizon.
A rising cloud of dust rose, signifying that an elf unit had come to rescue them.
‘Right on time.’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
When the Mountain King turned his head, another dust cloud was rising on the opposite side.
“Aaaargh!!”
W е̃b̌.ǹо̃ ṽēl Ёn um̂ȧ
Yu Rira was shouting as she led an elf unit forward.
Perhaps because of the sniper wound in his shoulder, the Elder Elf was bellowing with rage, chasing after Yu Rira at the front.
One side came to rescue, the other in pursuit.
Elf units were pressing in from both directions.
The Mountain King, watching from the air, exchanged glances with Vita.
It begins.

At the Mountain King’s signal, Lee Hye-jeong and the faster members of the raid party pulled back and scattered in all directions.
— “Watch the points.”
Instead of answering, they dug into the soil at each point. Then buried magic stones deeply, infused with Vita’s power.
Once all preparations were done, the battlefield became quiet as if it were a lie.
The elf unit that had come to rescue, and the one chasing Yu Rira, soon passed through the forest and entered the outpost.
At that moment, the Elder Elf who had come to rescue frowned, searching for something.
Ё n um̊ а̄
It should be here…… Following the rescue signal into the hut, he found an Elder Elf buried in the ground with shattered limbs.
Something was wrong.

Startled, the Elder Elf came out of the hut……And froze.
The trees—trees were shooting up endlessly.
Trees engraved with Vita’s magic stones were proliferating, forming a dome-shaped prison.
Magic was useless, arrows meaningless, even light could not enter. A perfect wooden prison buried itself into the earth.
Е̄ n̈ú m̌ а
Buried, erased without a trace.
As if it had never existed in the first place.
Time passed.
The Mountain King, now settled on the ground, checked the item pulled out by the roots.

※ Elden Bow ― Unique
: A bow that only a chosen few among the forest race, the elves, can wield. Enhanced by spirit power, it possesses high attack power and range.
W е̄ b̀ n̊ о.vе l̃ Ѐñu ṁ а̌
The Mountain King took the bow and spoke.
“Battle over.”
815 elves and 4 Elder Elves were annihilated.

Meanwhile, at that same time, in the forest where the gate that Lee Shin and Mir’s raid party had entered stood.
In this place of only darkness, a flame flickered. Sparks were bursting from the gates scattered all around. Not just one or two, but the entire surroundings.

The sparks reacted with the area.
They resonated, forming a white band.
In the end, they began to draw in the magic power lingering in the air as the surrounding gates started growing.
