“Too fast…”

They were the ones who were beheaded.

"My thunder is the wrath of God, you vile beasts! I will destroy you all!"

Lilith screamed and plunged her knight sword into the ground. Lightning struck from all directions, scattering the surrounding orc warriors.

Then, a quick snapping sound echoed. Just as she had vanished, she was seen dashing towards the dense mass of warriors. She swung her knight's sword, accompanied by a roar of thunder and a flash of light that traced a circular pattern. Then, the orc warriors, once a source of terror for the Confederate soldiers, were scattered through the air like leaves.

This was the power that allowed Lilith to ascend to the position of Grand Master of the Knights Templar at the tender age of twenty-seven—the inherent magic of "Thunder God."

Not only can she withstand instantaneous lightning strikes, but the lightning wrapped around her body also allows her to use magnetism to achieve super-fast movement that is almost instantaneous. It can be said that her power is like the incarnation of Thor.

"Damn it, this guy is a monster, and the fog hasn't spread again yet!?"

"There should be a sorcerer somewhere who can dispel the fog. What are the spies doing?!"

As an orc warrior shouted, the density of the white fog in this area has now dropped significantly.

It was clearly not blown away by the wind, but the concentration dropped unnaturally rapidly.

Then, when the white fog dissipated, Lilith led the Knights Templar to appear and launch a fierce attack, causing the warrior group that originally had an overwhelming advantage to fall into a difficult battle.

Although troops have been dispatched to assassinate the sorcerer, the fog has shown no signs of returning. At this moment...

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

With a heartless wail, the rabbit girl was blown out of the white mist.

"emerald!"

"What happened to the warlock? Was he defeated?!"

"Please worry about me (Cui) for a bit!"

The girl known as Cui, her white tight-fitting combat uniform severely damaged, her rabbit ears drooping as she sobbed and complained. Despite being a member of the weakest race, timid and uncombatant, she had, at the tender age of sixteen, achieved the position of captain of the Secret Warrior Regiment, one of the Republic's five warrior regiments.

But now there is a strong murderous intent directed at Cui.

"Oh, you little bunny trying to assassinate Zeba?"

“Eh~!?”

Cui seemed to be so frightened that her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground, backing away continuously. In front of her was Lilith, who was full of contempt and murderous intent.

"Did you think that the commander of the Third Legion of the Knights Templar would be defeated by a lowly beast, and the weakest rabbit at that? What a monstrous insult!"

"I'm sorry! I got carried away! Please forgive me!"

The Emerald Warrior Captain immediately knelt down and apologized. Basically, she was one of only five Warrior Captains in the Republic...

Pride? What was that? Was it delicious? Seeing her behavior, the orc warriors, who were probably her companions, groaned. However, they didn't blame Cui, indicating that they were "used to it."

"Ah, you're right! He's no match for a mere mortal like me! His body transforms into water, then mist! As expected of the Knights Templar commander who silences even the cries of children! By semi-assimilating with the mist, he expands his territory to a certain extent. This move is truly powerful! However, it seems he can't attack while in the mist, so he mainly uses a hit-and-run strategy, recovering only for a moment and then attacking! Oh, how impressive—"

"Shut up!"

Cui performed a proud "kneeling apology" and revealed all the information about the culprit who caused the failure of the white mist barrier in a rapid-fire manner - Zeba Yigen, the commander of the Third Army of the Knights Templar.

Lilith's face was filled with anger, she stepped forward and swung a slash...but the blow missed Cui's neck.

"How can we allow you to continue to act so recklessly!"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time! Warrior Captain Balf!"

A werewolf warrior jumped over and at the critical moment, he used the iron claw gauntlets on his hands to block Lilith's slash.

Cui was humbly stalling for time, waiting for this compatriot. This wildly handsome middle-aged man with long gray hair and a goatee was the commander of the Republic's guerrilla fighter group, Balf Lugar.

Lilith sneered, because no matter who it was, a mere orc could not withstand her lightning strike.

Lilith's body emitted lightning, and the lightning struck through the clashing weapons and was about to reach Balf.

“Hmm!?”

Lilith's body fell, as if attracted by the ground next to her.

"Drink!"

This attack was completely unexpected, and Lilith lost her balance, with nowhere to gain leverage. Balfe parried the knight's sword with one hand and swung his other iron claw at Lilith's neck. Anyone who saw it would have known it was a fatal blow.

However, the title of Grand Master of the Knights Temple is not undeserved.

Lilith immediately unleashed lightning strikes in all directions, and her body emitted a strong flash of light.

The lightning strike made Balfe's body stiff for a moment, but Balfe still continued to attack. However, for Lilith, this moment of gap was enough.

She slipped her knight sword between the tips of her iron claw gauntlets, barely blocking the attack. Though sent flying by Balfe's extraordinary strength, she also discharged electricity toward the ground, using magnetic manipulation to realign her posture and land smoothly.

"...Was that... inherent magic? A lowly beastman isn't worthy of possessing such power."

"Guess what. I won't tell a lowly human."

Balfe smiled smugly.

Lilith's suspicions were correct. The reason for his loss of balance was the effects of his inherent magic, 'Float.' While limited to a one-meter radius and lasting only a few seconds, it could shift the direction of gravity. Combined with the werewolf's signature ultra-fast hit-and-run tactics, this inherent magic proved incredibly effective in close combat. As a result, he was considered the most skilled close-quarters warrior in the Republic.

Even he, however, was inwardly astonished by the Grand Master of the Knights Templar before him. After all, she had just dodged his "killer" attack, the first time she had seen it, and emerged unscathed. However, Balfe, of course, didn't show it on his face, maintaining his composure.

Lilith and Balfe glared at each other, murderous intent flaring up in their eyes. Then, an anxious voice echoed from behind Lilith.

"Captain! Watch your back!"

Lilith turned back reflexively, and the first thing she saw was the mist-shrouded figure of the Third Legion's commander, Zeba. He was practically touching Lilith's back, raising his dagger to block.

That's right.

“I’m sorry~~!”

He blocked Cui's dagger that was aimed at Lilith's medulla oblongata.

"Captain! Please be careful! This rabbit-man has a unique magic that can erase his whereabouts!"

The inherent magic "Bend Light" - that is the magic that can refract the surrounding light and make oneself invisible.

Cui is a Bunnyman. Because Bunnymen are a timid race, they have developed a breath manipulation ability that is unmatched by other races in order to escape and hide. Therefore, as long as this inherent magic is combined, finding her is extremely difficult.

In fact, even Lilith, despite being distracted by Balfe, missed her during the battle.

"One after another, how far will you go to blaspheme our God!"

The fact that both of the Orcs in battle possessed powers worthy of being called "God's Servants" filled Lilith's forehead with rage. She wanted to unleash a lightning strike on Cui, but Balfe wouldn't allow it.

"Tsui! Show your perseverance!"

Balfe encouraged Cui while using Float to disrupt Lilith's balance and launched a fierce attack.

“So annoying!”

"Leave this to me!"

Cursing, Lilith slashed at Balf. Zeba, using his inherent magic, "Liquify," transformed his arm into a water blade, and while counterattacking Cui, he shouted at Lilith.

In response, Cui displayed a speed befitting her species, running backwards at full speed with a movement truly as agile as a rabbit. She dodged Zeba's attack, her figure fading as she shouted:

"I don't want to die~"

Although Cui shouted such embarrassing words, she unknowingly took out the container and splashed the green liquid.

"You bastard! Using poison again!"

Zeba shouted angrily. He immediately cast water magic, engulfing the green liquid.

The reason why Zeba did not come to warn Lilith immediately after knocking Cui away was actually because he was poisoned by Cui and was spending time detoxifying.

The other party was just an orc, the weakest race at that. He was actually tricked by her. As the commander of the Knights Temple, this was really a great shame and humiliation. No wonder Zeba went crazy.

"It's not my fault! I was ordered to do this! Please forgive me!"

Although she was humble and cowardly, and had no self-respect or courage, she apologized and shirked responsibility with ease.

It's admirable that she's so ruthless. She also accurately grasped the Knights' intelligence, casually revealing it, and even unleashed a powerful poison to inflict damage on the enemy. Judging solely by the results, she accomplished her mission perfectly.

The most troublesome thing is that she escaped very quickly and now her trace and breath are impossible to detect.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to cut you into pieces! Aa ...

Zeba became even more crazy, and at this time...

"If we all work together, we won't be scared! It's not just Tsui's fault!"

A voice came from nowhere. A hidden group of warriors, composed solely of orcs skilled in aura manipulation, continued to launch indiscriminate, small-scale attacks against the Federation soldiers and the Knights Templar. While not fatal, they were enough to toy with the enemy—yes, they were a deeply infuriating attack.

Even among his companions, the Rabbit-Eared Warrior Captain has various nicknames, such as "a genius at annoying people," "but once they become enemies, they're terrifying, which is really annoying," and "but because she always delivers results, there's nothing to say...which is really infuriating."

“Eh~!”

However, even she could not resist the Legion Commander's power for long. She was captured by the misted Zeba and was knocked away again.

"First I have to cut off those ugly ears!"

Zeba's eyes were filled with madness. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Balf on his knees, about to be struck by Lilith's final blow, his fellow warriors cornered by the Temple Knights.

"Hehe, hehe, mission accomplished~"

Cui smiled humbly. Before Zeba could say anything, thick fog came rushing in in an instant.

“! It’s foggy! Damn it, is it coming again?!”

The fog swirled like a living thing, covering the battlefield like a volcanic eruption. Even using Zeba's atomization technique couldn't dissipate the thick fog. And then—

"! Damn it, you lowly beast!"

In the blink of an eye, the moment Zeba's gaze left her, Cui had vanished without a trace. At the same time, the warriors' renewed shouts and the cries of the federal soldiers began to echo from behind the thick fog.

"Captain Zeba! We should retreat while we still can!"

"Well, but! I can't let that beast go!"

His knights advised Zeba. Even the Knights Templar were in great danger in this controlled fog. Even so, the thought of Cui, seemingly toying with him, filled Zeba with rage... He gritted his teeth, threatening to break them.

At this moment, there was a sound like the air breaking, and Lilith appeared, releasing lightning.

"It's time to retreat, Zeba."

“B-But…”

"Don't worry, there's no need to worry. They have nowhere to escape anyway. What matters now is to confirm the appearance and whereabouts of the Son of God."

So there's no need to force an attack; instead, prioritize gathering intelligence while fighting. Hearing Lilith say this, Zeba took a deep breath to calm himself and nodded in agreement.

Then, when the Federation soldiers were counterattacked by the Warriors and fell into a hellish scene of widespread grief, Lilith and the other Knights Templar used them as bait and cautiously retreated.

──White Battlefield Plains·North Side·Odion Federal Army's 1st Division is responsible for the combat area.

White flames swirled into a whirlwind.

Like a vicious fighting arena, the fierce heat of the white fire dispersed the fog and created a large circular area.

The inherent magic "Holy Flame" - that is the magic of the White Light Knights' vice-captain, Aram Ockerman, who is a division commander.

"Hmm, damned Church! Without the mist barrier, even with your Majesty's protection, it would be difficult..."

The one gritting his teeth was a massive Ursine warrior, nearly three meters tall, named Shim Gardot. He was the Captain of the Infantry Regiment, the most powerful of the Republic's five warrior regiments, and also the Chapter Master commanding all the regiments.

Until recently, he had skillfully commanded his troops to defeat the Federation soldiers, but suddenly a fierce flame broke out on the battlefield, and then the thick fog that limited the area lost its effect. Now they were at a disadvantage under the fierce attack of the White Light Knights.

The biggest cause of the current situation once again struck from the air.

"It's coming! Those below the centurion level, stand back! Push your abdomen!"

Shim gave the order, his voice matching his massive frame, delivering a shockwave-like impact, and then he grunted heavily.

A shadow obscured Shim's head, and the massive hammer filled his entire field of vision.

Shim raised his own axe to catch the hammer's meteoric fall.

There was a loud bang, followed by a powerful impact that exploded in a radial pattern. The ground beneath Shim's feet sank as if it had exploded, and cracks appeared on the ground as if it had split open.

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

His eyes were bloodshot, his bulging muscles were groaning, and a low growl escaped from between his clenched teeth.

"As expected... Is that the inherent magic that interferes with the impact itself? Your arm strength is also abnormal."

Standing in mid-air, using the power of the sacred artifact "Iron Boots," and wielding a crude war hammer that looked like a piece of wood stuck into a giant cylindrical iron block, the man suppressing Shim from above was a bald man in war robes—Los Byrne, leader of the Knights of White Light.

As Rouse had guessed, Shim's inherent magic, called "Transmission," could dissipate all shockwaves, allowing him to freely manipulate shockwaves like "Range Attack" and "Internal Destruction." Normally, direct attacks would be nearly ineffective against him, and Shim's arm strength was the strongest in the Republic.
