“The scenery is nice.”
This was Hyeonu’s impression after seeing the sight before him. It was a cool penetration through the wave of dark elves. There wasn’t a single dark elf left in front of Hyeonu. It was like there had been nothing there right from the beginning.
‘I will shoot a video for the first time in ages.’
Recently, the number of videos uploaded to Alley Leader’s channel had plummeted. It was because Hyeonu hadn’t paid much attention to it and had instead placed his focus on managing Phinis and his adventurers in the East Continent. Now, an appropriate opportunity had arrived. It was a thrilling and brutal battle that would get attention.
Hyeonu withdrew the Mysterious Sky Sword that was aimed at the dark elves and placed it on his shoulder. Then his free left hand extended toward the dark elves.
“Come, come!!”
It had been a long time since he had said such words.

“What? Are your eyes stuck?” The knight commander shouted at the knights around him.
The knights reluctantly turned their heads away.
“That... Marionette Bear, what is your name...?” The knight commander asked Tang-E with a very polite attitude. There was only one reason why he was so polite: Marionette Bears were incredibly powerful. Tang-E was somewhat flustered because he had never been treated with such courtesy except in the restaurants he had visited with Hyeonu.
Nevertheless, Tang-E soon replied with a shameless face, “My name is Tang-E. The man who just ran out is my master, so there is no need to worry.”
Tang-E didn’t know about the task, but he realized the way the situation progressed so far was the same as before. Thus, he spoke lightly while thinking of the dark elves Hyeonu had beaten before.
‘Master won’t lose to those weaklings,’ Tang-E thought.
“Master...?” The knight commander uttered. The master of a Marionette Bear…
The Marionette Bears were prideful and nitpicky. Their armed force was extraordinary, but it was difficult to get close to them as a colleague. Then the master…
As far as the knight commander knew, no one in the empire could tame a Marionette Bear.
‘Is he a member of the imperial family?’
If that were the case, it made sense. Everything was incomprehensible when it came to the imperial family of the Luos Empire...
“Is that so? Even so, shouldn’t we give him some help?” The knight commander asked. It was impossible for one person to beat an army alone—at least, it was like this within his common sense.
It would take time, but his master would never lose. There was no end to his Master dude’s abilities and magic power. In addition, his magic resistance was too high. Many times, it seemed more pitiful for the opponents to use magic to fight against his Master dude.
“I understand,” the knight commander said. Then he encouraged the other knights and soldiers to move faster.

The Luos army couldn’t shut their mouths. They raised a hand and rubbed their eyes, unable to believe the sight in front of them.
“Look, Master dude is strong,” Tang-E declared with a triumphant attitude. The knight commander couldn’t dismiss it as lightly as he did before.
“Really...” He couldn’t refute this statement while looking at the landscape that the man had created. The man took a step forward, and the dark elves attacked him. Ranging from dark elves holding swords to dark elves preparing magic, they targeted the man in a variety of ways.
The man deflected three silver swords that fell toward his head. Simultaneously, his sword cut a dark elf’s waist. It wasn’t just a cut. Rather, it was a cut that split the dark elf in half, killing the dark elf with one blow. The man’s advance didn’t stop there. He silently blocked the pouring onslaught and continued cutting down the dark elves one by one.
“I will also help,” Tang-E muttered in a voice low enough to only be heard by the knight commander. As Tang-E concentrated magic power on both his front paws, a blue ice spear started to appear. Extending from the tip of a sharp blade until it formed a smooth handle, the appearance was gradually made complete.
Finally, the over-two-meter-long spear was now whole, and Tang-E gently pushed the spear floating in the air with the sole of his foot. Tang-E’s ice spear flew with an eerie sound. Piercing through the battlefield without any scruples, the ice spear passed through all the dark elves blocking its way. The dark elves who were pierced by it froze without even being able to scream.
‘Worthy of the reputation!’ The knight commander’s eyes grew larger when he saw Tang-E’s magic. It was a really great power.
‘And it doesn’t seem like he put too much effort into it...’
Regardless, the dark elves died helplessly, and the knight commander’s feelings toward Tang-E went beyond admiration into fear. Then a wave of sword energy struck the dark elves. It poured out unceasingly, sweeping the dark elves back and forth like trees being washed away by a flood.
‘Is this a member of the imperial family...?’ The knight commander’s misunderstanding deepened even further. There weren’t many Guardian Knights who could show such power lightly. With the addition of the Marionette Bear… it could only be the imperial family. No, it was definitely the imperial family. Moreover, it was a direct descendant, not a branch member.
Just then, the man yelled, “What? Aren’t you going to fight? Do it properly!”
Hearing the man’s cry, the knight commander regained his senses and gave orders to the knights and soldiers who were staring at the man blankly: “All soldiers! Charge!!! This six-month-long war will end in our hands! Let’s see the end to it before the Guardian Knights come!! Charge!!!”
Under the orders of the commander, some knights left the formation and prepared to charge. All of the knights, except for the minimum number needed to protect the soldiers from the magic of the dark elves, went forward. It was spectacular to see nearly a hundred mounted knights charging out.
“Charge!! Stop them!!!”
On the other hand, this was a disaster for the dark elves. Through their long war with the empire, the dark elves knew better than anyone else just how great the power of the knights’ charge was.
“How do we to stop it?!”
Normally, they would do something such as use magic or scatter to minimize the damage. However, it was impossible this time. They couldn’t do anything because of the human who was wielding a sword in front of them.
“This is the worst,” words of despair poured out from a dark elf’s mouth. One person spoke, but the other dark elves felt the same. It was an emotion they all shared. They fell into despair. This was the worst. The dark elves felt the battlefield was a very grim place.
Yet it wasn’t due to the knights attacking the dark elves. Instead, it was all because of one man, who was currently in a very bad mood. He didn’t like it.
‘Why is Tang-E playing around like this after dealing only one blow?’
