Becoming a god starts with enhancing fire arrows.

With the warehouse door fully open, Rhodes was finally able to see the scene outside.

There were already more than a dozen guards standing outside, including humans, goblins, and lizardmen.

These people stood in the not-so-wide passageway, wary of the attackers hiding on the inside of the door, and of Rhodes standing in the middle of the wooden frame.

The guards exchanged glances and launched a second attack in unison, rushing into the warehouse.

At this moment, Avira exuded an aura of unparalleled strength and invincibility.

The moment the guards entered, he swung his greatsword down with both hands.

The heavy greatsword struck the first guard who entered, incapacitating him.

Rhodes then gained a deeper understanding of Avira's power.

The guards outside were also soldiers, but they couldn't even withstand a single slash from her.

Such astonishing strength and brutal fighting style seem completely unrelated to the elegant and proud elf princess she usually is.

Rhodes snapped out of his reverie and raised his staff, relentlessly suppressing the enemy with flaming arrows.

Seeing that they couldn't break through, the guards intended to stand their ground in the passageway and wait for an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, the enemy mage's fire arrow could penetrate the armor, forcing them to hastily retreat from the passage and wait for reinforcements.

Seeing that the opponent's offensive had slowed down, Rhodes threw over a few bottles of recovery potions.

"How are you? Are you feeling exhausted?"

Ivy shook her head: "It's just a warm-up, but it's you."

She looked at Rhodes with some dissatisfaction: "Could you use your fire arrows less often? You seem to have magic power like it's free."

"What if an enemy gets close and I can't use Sword Song?"

"Don't worry," Rhodes said, without even drinking a mana potion. "I'm still warming up too."

The enemy reinforcements arrived very quickly.

Just a few minutes later, two goblins wielding tower shields entered the passage.

Bear goblins are not pure goblins; they are even larger than humans.

The two bear goblins stood side by side, pressing their massive tower shields together, using the shields as a wall, and pushed forward towards the warehouse.

The fire arrows are not powerful enough to penetrate the tower shield.

Rhodes stopped firing his flaming arrows and quietly warned Ivira, who was in a blind spot:

"Five more steps..."

"Three steps..."

The moment they stepped through the door, Avira unleashed a terrifying speed.

Instead of retreating to gather strength, she used the wall as a fulcrum, using her entire body to forcefully spin forward and pounce.

The massive sword blade traced a cyan-blue semi-circle in the air, imbued with the power of thunder, and slammed down with tremendous force onto the two guards who had just squeezed through the door.

"boom!"

The blinding blue lightning exploded the moment it touched the goblin's shield.

The two heavy tower shields were deformed and dented by the blows of the greatsword.

"Ugh!"

The two bear goblins let out a miserable scream, spitting out blood and foam, and retreated repeatedly.

The narrow entrance instantly descended into chaos.

So handsome!

Rhodes savored the light of the greatsword cutting through the air, while continuing to harass the enemy with fire arrows, his staff held high.

The flaming arrows arced through the air in crimson arcs, piercing the armor of the guards who had lost the protection of the tower shields.

Rhodes, like a hunter, reaped the lives of his enemies with flaming arrows.

Gradually, the entrance seemed to form a wall of fire, making it more difficult for the opponent to attack.

The flames burned fiercely, obscuring their view.

suddenly.

Water droplets are falling from the sky.

It was as if rain had started indoors, and in the rush, the flames were extinguished.

Rhodes looked toward the end of the passage.

It is a lizardman holding a staff.

It was staring at me defiantly, its long, thin tongue occasionally sticking out of its mouth.

The lizard mage chanted incantations, and a pure white, transparent barrier formed in the tunnel, slowly pushing forward.

A protective barrier?

Rhodes recognized the spell.

This is a fairly practical low-level defensive spell.

He waved his staff, and several flaming arrows shot towards the barrier.

The fire arrow was deflected, causing the magic barrier to pause slightly.

The lizard mage gave a disdainful sneer.

It had already seen through the fact that this mage was a half-baked expert who could only cast fire arrows from a distance.

The staff in his hand lit up, and the barrier continued to advance.

The guards behind slowly followed and approached from behind the barrier.

Will it stop when attacked?

Rhodes raised an eyebrow.

The staff lit up, and flaming arrows shot out wildly.

The barrier stopped in place under the fierce attack of the fire arrows, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

The lizard mage's disdain deepened.

I only need to maintain the barrier with a small amount of mana, while the novice mage on the other side has to keep casting Fire Arrow.

What is the maximum mana capacity of a mage of this level?

As long as he drinks the mana potion, he will be unable to continue chanting, and the barrier can continue to advance.

The warriors behind the barrier will eventually be able to enter the warehouse.

Ivy frowned. "Rhodes! What are you doing?"

"You can't withstand this kind of strain."

Rhodes was chanting incessantly and was unable to speak.

He could only smile and give her a thumbs up, signaling her to quickly recover her strength.

With reinforcements constantly arriving from outside, the two of them need to prepare for a protracted battle.

Avira glanced at Rhodes in surprise.

How long can this little mage keep casting fire arrows?

And it seems he hasn't drunk any mana potions from the beginning until now.

Or have I misjudged it?

Is his magical energy storage at a genius level?

She chose to trust her teammates and focus on recovering.

Fifteen minutes later...

The scene became absurd at one point.

One mage frantically repeated the Fire Arrow spell, while the other mage erected a barrier to block it.

If the fire arrows didn't only last for a maximum of five minutes, the passage would have been filled up sooner or later.

The people behind the barrier stared blankly at everything.

"whispering sound."

The lizard mage's expression grew increasingly solemn.

It hadn't expected that this little mage, who had only ever used fire arrows since the start of the war, would have such a large reserve of magic power.

I haven't drunk a single mana potion yet, and I have no idea how much mana the other party has consumed.

On the contrary, his own mana was starting to run out.

"Useless trash, put away the barrier!" shouted the lizardmen who came to help.

It was not carrying any weapons.

But he was burly, several sizes larger than the other lizardmen, and was clearly the leader of the guards.

Rhodes and Avira immediately became wary upon seeing this.

Race: Lizardman

Age: 45

[Class: Monk]

[Rating: Elite]

[Description: An unusually robust lizardman]

"Be careful, it's very strong," Rhodes warned.

He planned to concentrate all his firepower on the grunts following behind.

We must not allow the other side to enter the warehouse on a large scale.

The barrier in front of them dissipated.

The lizardman violently shoved a guard with a leg injury forward, using him as a human shield, and charged into the warehouse at high speed.

As soon as he stepped through the door, he threw the injured guard violently at Avira.

Just as Avira dodged the thrown guard, the opponent closed in and attacked with both fists.

She instinctively held her greatsword horizontally in front of her.

"Bang bang bang bang."

The lizardman's punches were not only fast but also powerful. After several punches, he even made Avira take half a step back.

Without hesitation, Avira swung her greatsword horizontally, intending to create distance.

However, just as the greatsword was about to strike, the lizardman's body displayed incredible flexibility.

His forward momentum suddenly stopped, and his body twisted sharply to the left, managing to dodge the slash.

It didn't give Avira a chance to stop. The moment she dodged the giant sword, its thick tail lashed out like a steel whip, striking her hard in the back of the knee.

"Snapped!"

The tail collided with the metal with a loud bang.

Avira stumbled and nearly lost her balance.

The lizardman seized the opportunity, taking a lightning-fast step forward with his left foot and throwing a punch at Avira's back from the side.

Avira turned around in pain.

She felt extremely frustrated during this battle.

He could clearly overpower his opponent with sheer strength, but his opponent was like a slippery eel.

Every time I try to regroup and get back into the rhythm of the battle, I get interrupted repeatedly.

He could only raise his sword and defend himself in a disheveled manner.

Rhodes was busy dealing with the guards at the door and had no time to provide support.

The lizardmen got faster and faster as the fight progressed.

As it threw a punch straight at its face with its right hand, it saw specks of blue runes light up on the blade of the opponent's greatsword.

Followed by.

The giant sword, accompanied by lightning, slammed down towards him.

This soldier actually chose to trade blows?!

The lizardmen were aware of Avira's strength and, if possible, did not want to take the blow head-on.

It made a decision in an instant, its strong legs pushing off with force, and its whole body shot backward like an arrow released from a bow.

"boom!"

The giant sword, cracking with lightning, slammed into the open ground, and cracks instantly spread across the earth.

Ivy breathed a sigh of relief.

Even at the cost of being struck by lightning, they managed to create some distance between themselves and the lightning.

From its current position, it is right in the greatsword's comfort zone.

She raised her weapon, her fighting spirit high.

The lizardmen charged straight at them.

Just as Avira was about to react, her opponent made a feint.

A charge went straight for Rhodes.

Rhodes' pupils constricted.

Oh no, it's coming for me!
