Chapter 54-Justice?(4)
“This is crazy! No!”
“The sun is crazy!!”
The elves, and even Serenian, who had expected it in advance, were frightened and froze with firepower so powerful that it literally burned the victim in the sun.
Especially, the fear of the humans who became the party was enormous, and they screamed and struggled without covering their eyes when they saw their comrades being burned alive in the intense sunlight.
“Bo, look. Who can punish us To punish us, you would have to cross the sky.”
I had to be brave, but Serenian, who couldn’t control his surprise and chewed his tongue, endured the pain and declared to everyone that the sky was on our side.
No one here can deny that fact.
She prepared, she raised her prayer, and heaven heard it. Because it was the truth
“This is our paradise. The likes of you won’t be able to cross it.”
“Wait a minute! Shall I sleep…aaa!!”
As she pointed her finger at her second victim, the intense light that had completely consumed her firewood and her chained captive moved back to her side.
Beside him was Carl, the leader of the humans. He, who was even ready for death and insulted and mocked Serenian until the end, was also frightened when he saw the sun’s rays approaching him.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I would die with such a ridiculous punishment, leaving all other methods alone.
Deeply still looking down on the elves, he was convinced that the elves of Eden would be avenged for their deaths, but he panicked at the fact that an insurmountable force was actually protecting them.
“Aagh!!!”
But it is already too late to beg or plead. Soon, his body began to heat up. Even a strong body that has trained mana has its limits. As soon as the dry firewood was ignited, his body burned helplessly.
‘We are safe.’
Serenian soon closed his eyes as he watched the humans burn to death one by one.
Screams and disgusting smells, horrible corpses. Even though they were enemies, honestly, it wasn’t a distance to enjoy openly.
“Chief. What are you guys going to do? Traitors.”
And when all the human captives were turned into charred coals.
The elves came to Serenian’s side and opened their mouths, pointing at Edan and other other bewildered traitors.
“Although they are unforgivable traitors, they are of the same kind. We cannot punish them like humans.”
She glared at them and said. She had no intention of killing her in the first place. However, I had no intention of forgiving, much less of releasing him like this.
“I will force you to atone and make you see who is wrong.”
But being locked up is just a burden that only eats up food. So Serenian decided to use them.
“I think it would be enough to protect the labyrinth from which monsters might attack.”
“Yes. There are fairy ants everywhere, so you won’t be able to do anything stupid.”
The method she chose was to drive them into an underground dungeon. In a place full of ants everywhere, it was to make them fight with the witches who were aiming for this place.
“Three, Serenian!”
Ethan did not know where he would fight and what kind of enemies he would fight, and he called to her as she was drawn to her, but Serenian no longer gave him her gaze.

‘It’s over.’
It seems that what I thought was a big event is coming to an end. I fiddled with the lens in my hand as I watched the elves taking care of the aftermath, such as burying the burned corpses in the far corner of the ground.
As expected, the sunlight focused on one point was strong for those little people. And as I watched the scene I made with my own hands, I thought that I was quite strong.
Right now, I’m just collecting sunlight with my lens, but I can do more powerful things if I set my mind to it. It’s just that I can’t touch it, but there are many ways I can influence that pot.
If I pour water, it becomes a flood, and if I scatter stones, it becomes a meteorite.
I was confident in stopping anyone from invading that small world. And Serenian knows this, so he asked for help so earnestly.
However, I was not invincible.
Whether it’s moving the Battlebot, pouring water, or shooting lasers, the only thing I can help with is the top of the flower pot. Everything that happened in other spaces, such as a deep underground labyrinth or their hometown crossing through cracks, was something they had to endure.
‘I’ll take care of that myself.’
I didn’t have time to worry about that. All I can do is to thoroughly protect even these flower pots.
I put down the lens and picked up a container of nutrients lying next to it and sprinkled some of them into the flower pot.
Then the elves took them and buried them in the ground. The World Tree absorbed the nutrients, consumed them to grow crops, and produced food for the elves.
It’s good to help directly, but it would be more effective to help the base itself in this way.
They are now at odds with forces greater than themselves.
The beasts of the underground dungeon aiming for the world tree gained strength by forging an alliance with the ants, but the enemies outside are bigger and stronger than the beasts in the dungeon. However, it is unlikely that Serenian will stop relocating its people from outside, so conflict is essential.
‘Are you going to rest? It’s tiring, though.’
I could see Serenian entering the house.
I’m not sure what the other elves think of what happened today, but at least she seems stressed out.
But even when I went in for her to rest, she didn’t take her eyes off the flower pot. In a pot that is never too big, countless people living there.
Serenian thinks that their lives depend on her, and she is always weighed down by that heavy responsibility, but in fact, she felt the same responsibility as I did.
‘Impossible to teach people how to handle iron…’
It was then that I saw some elves working on cutter blades as I looked around the pots.
“—!”
They put the cutter blades on the pedestal, lifted their hammers and struck them down the side. That hammer was also made by shattering finely chopped pins and crossing them together.
Then he poured mana into it and hit it, breaking the cutter blade. Among the broken pieces, I picked some useful ones and attached them to arrowheads to make arrows.
“Mmm.”
I don’t know for sure what level of civilization they have, but this is certain. The elves of the Great Forest do not have any metal skills.
On the other hand, elves who joined hands with humans would be different. It is obvious that they will receive metal weapons or armaments from humans, but will they be able to fight?
As for the support for the necessary materials, the answer came out if I squeezed my head somehow, but I didn’t think it would be possible for me, as I’m not an expert, to tell them the skills they needed to learn from the basics.
Rather, wouldn’t it be quicker to recruit someone with such skills from outside?
[Connection to the outside world is activated: current number of gates 2]
“Huh?”
But thanks to those worries, the very moment I was sitting in front of a flower pot. The notification, which had been quite quiet for the past few days, resurfaced. And in a way I never expected.
I washed my eyes at the word connection with the outside world and hurriedly inspected the flower pots.
But there didn’t seem to be any special changes. The elves who were involved also didn’t know anything and each only did their own thing.
‘What is it? Where is it?’
Bewildered, I picked up the walkie-talkie. I don’t know what it is, but I felt like I had to say something to Serenian.
“—-!!!”
But I didn’t have to. Some elven warriors rushed out of the dungeon and started screaming and jumping across the flower pots by the lakeside.
They passed the panicked elves and headed straight for Serenian’s house. She must have heard the noise and ran out of the miniature house with a surprised expression before they reached them.
‘Inside the dungeon.’
After putting down the walkie-talkie, I realized where this anomaly had occurred.
Of course, the dungeon is the place where Serenian rushes in with a bow. It seemed that something had happened in the complex dungeon where the fairy ants were fighting the beast bugs along with the elves.
You can’t miss it. I operated the drone that was waiting on top of the branch of the world tree and quickly followed them.
But it was also true that I had negative thoughts while chasing after him like that. It’s because I wonder if it’s really a benefit to have a connection with the outside world. Besides, in a deep underground world where I can’t exercise my power.
