Lycanthrope (5)
How can I describe this feeling?
It is just infinitely vast and endlessly distant.
The universe spreads out like a meadow, and the stars become rivers and flow.
They were looking down on the continent from a high place, quietly contemplating what was happening on the ground.
And Harris, who peeps into the scene, is also like an absolute being looking down at Marge’s miniature garden…
“Kuk!”
But the sense of omnipotence is only fleeting.
Bounced out of that sensation in an instant, he stumbled and clutched his head in a throbbing headache, then sat down on the branches of the World Tree.
He was not aware of it himself, but at some point, he was breathing heavily without even realizing it.
Shaaa—
A soft breeze blew past him as if to soothe him, who was drenched in sweat.
In an instant, my heart, which had been beating like crazy from the tidal wave of information beyond the limits of my mind, slowly calmed down, and only then was I able to look at the situation in its entirety.
‘Wow, I was surprised.’
Harris took a deep breath and slowly looked around.
This is on top of the high branches of the World Tree.
The scene of Drasha, who was still at war, was spread out below.
‘… Oh, I don’t have time to be like this.’
Harris stood up from his seat, clutching his still trembling legs.
Even though he was stuck with the world tree, the shock was so great that he could not recover quickly, but the situation was not so good to relax because of his poor physical condition.
It was only for a moment that he caught a glimpse of the World Tree’s gaze, and even that was lacking in ability, so all that remained in his mind was abstract fragments.
Some of the first ranges he saw were quite recognizable.
As far as the Drasha area where the World Tree is located.
‘Thanks to that, I think I can roughly understand what they want.’
A plan to the extent that a leader who had reached transcendence would personally lead all the best members of a race to attack.
It was to prevent the World Tree from intervening in the Enamel Continent, beyond that, in Auterica itself.
‘I still don’t know what they gain by doing that.’
Through incarnation, the World Tree created a continent and protected other races including elves, intervening excessively on the ground and carrying more restrictions.
The incarnation rooted here in Drasha has become a proof of its power and a weakness at the same time.
‘I can’t let it go the way I think.’
The World Tree was the root and pillar of the Enamel Continent.
If things go their way, the ground will slowly crumble away except for the central area, which was originally an island, and eventually everything will sink into the sea.
A continent that had existed for thousands of years would perish entirely.
“Whoa—.”
After taking a deep breath, Harris used The Observer of the Milky Way.
At the same time, all the information around Drasha was sucked into his head, as if analyzing data observed by satellite.
From the fight between the Lycanthrope King and the High Elves to the numerous wars in the city, the infiltrators quietly approaching here taking advantage of the turmoil, and…
‘Shall we start from there?’
Shiiik—
The bow made from the branches of the world tree, Themis, bent, and the natural forces gathered from all directions gathered together to create a single arrow.
Perhaps due to the influence of the World Tree, which is still vaguely connected, the power of the spirits began to dwell in the arrow with more force than usual.
‘Come to think of it, I think I need to come up with a nice name for this skill now.’
When such a thought suddenly came to my mind, recommendations such as “Elemental Sniper” and “Demon in Silence” flooded the conference hall in my brain…
‘Well, thinking about it is annoying. Let’s just call it spirit vision.’
Even if you don’t, there are a lot of things to worry about, but worrying about coming up with a cool name was a waste of energy for no reason, so I just ignored it.
And at the same time, such stupid thoughts are finished.
Buried in the mighty presence of the World Tree, a silent arrow that no one noticed was—.
Like a beam of light, it was shot in one place.

“Keugh.”
hahahaha… What the hell…”
Only 5 seconds.
The spirits summoned by Shapiron, Timer, and Curie were torn apart and reverse summoned, as well as the time it took for those who resisted to be hit and stretched one by one.
Even at the academy, they belonged to the honor students, but at the level of intermediate spirits, they could not even meaningfully resist General Lycanthrope.
“Hmm, at first I thought I would kill him right away… Wouldn’t it be better if the blood of the elves was fresh?”
Despite the difference in status, the fact that they were still safe was purely thanks to the other person’s troubles over the situation in their hands.
‘How to find a way…’
Is it because it is a moment of despair?
Shapiron’s thoughts began to flow faster than ever.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t see a way out.
The opponent is a master class strongman.
Even in the elven society, he was on the same level as the respected forest keeper.
However, there was no way they could deal with those who were only students!
‘···Ah! Why is such a big man here!’
It was to the point of bursting with rage at the gap that felt so absurd.
At least, if I could summon a higher level spirit, I would have been able to try to escape somehow.
‘…Harris is already waiting up there! That’s how she confidently said that she would overcome, but ended up falling far behind like this? Is this Shapiron Silvestti?’
She touched her ring on the middle finger of her left hand and bit her lip.
A ring made from the branches of the World Tree, bestowed upon her by her father, Rapo Lee, who became a high elf.
Thanks to this treasure that helped her grow, she quickly faced a wall, and these days she was trying to overcome it…
Apparently, there was no time to choose only safe methods.
‘Perhaps even this is not enough.’
She calmed the shaking inside with her inner wounds, and secretly drew her natural power as much as possible and pushed it slowly into her ring, stimulating her inner aura.
Her energy, which had been infinitely stable, slowly began to wriggle and prepare for an aggressive stance in response to her stabbing attack like an awl.
‘If I take this into my body and explode it all at once…’
If my parents found out, they would probably scold me a lot, but even if the best results came out, it was a dangerous method that would ruin the inside so much that I couldn’t even move for a while.
Still, wouldn’t that be better than dying without doing anything?
“Tsk, do something useless. After all, I’d rather just have fun and finish it. If you really need it, you can use the gardeners’ blood.”
However, her secret defiance was soon detected by her opponent.

No matter how different the energy system is, it was meaningless when the gap was this large.
“Then go well.”
With those words, a suffocating life spewed out.
Approaching right in front of her Shapiron party, she swung her right hand with her sharp momentum.
Her own back towards her back.
Kwaaang—!
An intense explosion sounded in an instant.
However, the shockwave that spread out in all directions was not very large, perhaps because all the energy used in the attack was concentrated in one point.
“Ouch! What is this all of a sudden!”
Barely, really barely, reacting just before her attack ran out, she gritted her teeth as she looked down at the cross section of her body that started with her right hand and flew all the way to her right lung.
Had he reacted just a little bit slower, his head and heart would have almost disappeared!
‘An ultra-long-range sniper with this much power at a distance where you can’t even feel the presence. Is it a high elf?’
King was dealing with all the guys here, so he must have returned from the outside.
There really was no time for delay.
Wood Deuk!
Her body, which had assumed human form for her covert action, was instantly covered in hair, and in the blink of an eye she took on the form of a huge werewolf reaching 3 meters.
The upper right half of the body was still empty, but with the current regenerative power, it should be able to recover before long.
It wasn’t too much of a problem for her, just that she was a little out of balance right now.
‘The direction of the attack is toward the world tree. Damn, stealth is out of the question with this one. Now that it’s like this, I’d rather be loud and draw attention so that the others can approach it easily.’
In an instant, a complex thought ran through her mind.
In fact, he was less impulsive than the other generals, so he was put into this job, but covert action was a task he was dubious about.
Of course, the next best solution was already prepared, and it was a problem that could be rectified at any time if you think calmly.
‘However.’
However, in order to recover from the injury in which half of the upper body was blown away, the mixed energy of black magic and madness raged through the body.
An unbearable rage began to well up in her head.
‘…Okay, I’ll have to deal with those bastards who caused things to come to this point.’
Warying the direction her sniping came from, she turned her gaze to the elves who were running away with a cruel smile on her lips.
As they were also elites, even in a crisis situation, they each devised countermeasures and acted as soon as the opportunity arose.
Timer, who had less internal injuries because he focused on rangers rather than spirit magic, quickly ran with the other two women on his side, and Curie, who had mastered magic, supported him using auxiliary magic while vomiting blood.
In the meantime, Shapiron just kept closing her eyes.
‘You can’t fire an attack like this so quickly! Let’s get rid of those b*tches and head for the world tree!’
Also, if those elves were brutally dealt with, they could have provoked the snipers.
If you can distract him like that, you’ll be more helpful in hunting.
Her legs swell as much as she quickly finished the calculation.
Quaang—!
In an instant, they caught up behind them, who had spread quite a distance before they knew it.
“hehehe! No, chase us this far because we did something wrong!”
Timer, who had been running diligently at him, shouted in contemplation, but the huge werewolf only charged ferociously with bloody eyes shining.
“hahahaha! Die, bugs!”
And, it was then that the eyes of Shapiron, who had been carrying her luggage, opened up.
At the same time she opened her mouth, ignoring the blood gushing from her throat, she screamed as if she was screaming.
“Anemos!”
Her connection was shaken by the shock of her reverse summoning, and she shouldn’t have been able to summon her for a while… The name of the intermediate wind spirit who contracted her with her.
However, the ring of the world tree shining on her left finger lightly ignored such trivial matters—.
Wheein-!
He summoned a high-level wind spirit that shone like an emerald on the spot.
“Blow it up!”
Hwaaak-!
And the wild wind, caused by her will, blew into the werewolf who had come close behind.
“Kha! Barely! What?!”
An exercise of physical force solely to impede movement, not an attack.
No matter how advanced the spirits were, they were still far from being able to deliver meaningful blows to the general from the front.
The best I can do right now is to shake my posture like I am doing right now and float in the air for a while.
However, in the current situation, that moment is.
“Uh? Wait a minute! How can you do it so quickly…!”
To her halfway floating in the air in her disheveled state.
The beam of light that departed from the World Tree was enough time for the silent messenger to arrive.
Wooow-!
This time with enough precision to blow heads and hearts for sure.

“···What? Are you stupid?”
Harris, who had been grasping the enemy in real time with “Observer of the Milky Way”, Lowered his bow with a trembling expression.
I never thought I’d be able to kill a general level enemy with just two attacks.
If he had been hit by a sniper of this power, he would have concealed himself as much as possible and would not have been able to evade maneuvers.
‘…Well, it’s a lycanthrope.’
Isn’t their temperament of anger control disorder very famous?
Even if he died immediately, he would not have tolerated missing the prey in front of him.
But this time, he really died.
‘It would have been difficult to defeat it so easily without Shapiron’s help. I never thought I would call a higher level spirit.’
If it hadn’t been finished with this attack, the academy mates running away over there would have been quite dangerous.
It was hard for him to fight while still protecting others at this distance.
‘Not yet…’
Right after he dealt with it, he felt the grace of the World Tree penetrating into his body, and he knew it intuitively.
He now knows that he really is not far.
‘First, let’s deal with the dangerous molecules approaching secretly.’
Those who hide with ‘something’ that is fatal just by approaching the World Tree.
He prepared so thoroughly that even he would not have noticed it had it not been for his sympathy with the World Tree.
I could have informed the gardeners guarding this place and left it to them, but I couldn’t yield the triple public value event to someone else!
Feeling the energy in his body quickly recovering under the influence of the World Tree, Harris fired the Elongated Spirit Poetry.
‘Ah, but I think it’s a bit lacking.’
Shooting arrows so excitedly, I was able to intercept all the approaching guys neatly, but it still seemed a little lacking to meet the karma to overcome the wall.
‘Then Steele… No, I’ll have to support the others to deal with the generals. The sooner we deal with the strong guys, the better the battle situation will be.’
Having made up his mind, Harris analyzed the chaotic battlefield at a glance using the “Observer of the Milky Way” Again.
Now, the 4 high elves who were pushed back to the point of being dangerous, the master class strongmen of both camps fighting on an equal footing, and the continuing damage to the elves.
‘…We must hurry before the high elves completely collapse. They have good mobility, so range attacks using spirits won’t be very effective, so it’s best to deal with the factors one by one with sniping… Huh?’
Then, suddenly, a strange feeling crossed his mind.
He had been thinking of himself as a simple spirit archer, but in fact, he had a skill that really shined on such a large-scale battlefield!
In the meantime, every time I shot a spirit poem, I had been steadily using it for self-strengthening, the [Melody of Harmony].
‘No, go. Will it be real? If only I could amplify this a little more…’
In less than a second, his gaze, which quickly analyzed the situation, slowly turned to the side.
This battlefield, the huge amplifier covering the entire Drasha… No, to the World Tree.
