I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"I think that's fine too, Ms. Ella."

"Hmm—alright, but be careful not to cause any casualties."

"No problem, that's all. If I can't even arrange something like this, then I don't deserve to be called an intelligent monster."

The eyes of the griffin bird reveal a deep gaze.

-------------------------------------------

Kemir felt incredibly uneasy. Ever since the miracle, he, the city lord, had been incredibly busy. First, he sent envoys to the capital to request a royal investigation team. Then, he had to pretend to the team that he had already conducted a thorough investigation. However, his own troops were simply not enough to penetrate the depths of the forest. Although a powerful swordsman, suspected to be the daughter of a prominent noble, had appeared in the city, he was unable to enlist her in his operations.

Not only that, he even let this swordsman encounter troublemakers in the city under his jurisdiction, which made the already unsuccessful work of winning him over even more difficult. Fortunately, he secretly sent his men to accompany this strong man, and when the swordsman encountered trouble, his men reported it to him immediately, so that no greater losses were caused. Otherwise, he would have no idea how to end it.

Due to time constraints and the difficulty of winning him over, he simply gave up on the effort and went directly to the Adventurer's Guild President Jayne to request to accompany him. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly learned that this swordsman, the son of a great noble, was willing to lower himself and become an adventurer.

Hoping for a lucky break, he asked Jayne to entrust him with the mission, and surprisingly, he successfully entrusted it to this swordsman. To prevent the swordsman from changing his mind due to prolonged delays, he immediately set out into the forest after assembling the team.

After leaving the city, although I tried to strike up a conversation with this swordsman along the way, I couldn't find any topics to talk about. And for some reason, this young and lovely swordsman was always wary of me. Was I really that scary?

For the time being, I'm still a good father and a good husband in my private life, right? Thinking of this, Kemir touched his chin with his hand.

I'd frequented this forest so often I was completely accustomed to its greenness, but this time, I felt a distinctly intense sense of unease. I surveyed my surroundings again—a vast expanse of dense, dark green primeval forest, towering majestic trees, their lush branches stretching across an unusually vast expanse. Sunlight couldn't penetrate the forest, and the poor visibility gave me the illusion of being swallowed by darkness. The gaps between the trees seemed like gaping mouths, waiting for prey to fall into their trap. This sense of mystery made me uneasy, especially when my opponent was a monster.

And now, this strange silence... it doesn't seem like there are tens of thousands of creatures living here. How long have we been marching through this forest? Thinking of this, Kmir pulled the reins, looked around, and frowned.

"This feeling of silence...Jaune, where are we now?"

Seeing that Kmir stopped, Jayne also stopped the horse he was riding. The smile on his face was gone, and his expression was solemn.

"We entered the forest an hour ago... At this rate, we should have reached the middle of the forest, but—"

"But I haven't seen any magical beasts. I absolutely don't believe this is a coincidence."

Kemiel took over for Jayne, drew his sword, turned around and shouted behind him

"Everyone, get into combat mode."

The metallic friction sound of swords being drawn out of their sheaths was heard, and the oppressive atmosphere was instantly raised to its peak. The soldiers at the end trotted forward and lined up again, and the two-row long formation became a three-row matrix.

Still no movement, save for the clang of armor, now even the sound of wind rustling branches was silent. Visible beads of sweat trickled down the soldier's neck.

Jain pointed his staff at Kmir.

"■□▼——『Beginner Iron Wall Strengthening』."

A layer of distorted light flashed by, and the magical enhancement from Jayne made Kmir feel a little relieved. He stared at his surroundings and whispered to Jayne for confirmation.

"Could it be because of the miracle that happened before? But that miracle couldn't possibly be evil in any way. I can't connect the disappearance of the monsters to that miracle at all. Could it be that the monsters have gone to worship?"

"It's possible, but if we go there to worship, then that being might truly be the One God descended... But today is already three days after the miracle, right? Even if it's a pilgrimage, there's no reason not to return to one's territory within three days. First of all, food and drink are a problem—so, there's only one answer."

Jayne raised his staff above his head and chanted for a full minute before an orange light enveloped the team.

"◆·●·▲——『Low-level group power boost』."

After bestowing this magic upon everyone, the already dense beads of sweat on Jayne's head suddenly gathered into drops.

The magic just now must have been very exhausting, Jayne said, panting and stating his own inference.

"It must be that a powerful leader has emerged among the monsters. This leader is very likely the one who caused the miracle. We are being watched now, or rather, we must have fallen into their trap."

"You agree with me. Such an unusual sight is simply beyond the capability of a small border town like ours to withstand. While the enemy has no intention of attacking, we should retreat and wait for the Royal Court Investigation Team to arrive."

"I totally agree."

The two men looked at each other solemnly, nodded to each other, and reached a consensus.

"Ms. Ella, this mission has concluded. Since the client unilaterally abandoned the commission, half of the reward will still be paid."

Jayne turned to Ella and solemnly informed her that the mission was over.

Kmir turned his horse around, leaned down and whispered a few words to the soldier beside him. The soldier then began to walk around in the team, whispering Kmir's meaning.

----------------------------------------

With her exceptional five senses, Ella heard the conversation between Jaune and Kmir crystal clear. When Kmir drew his sword and shouted at the soldiers behind him, she thought it was the signal for Kmir's plot to begin, and she almost couldn't help but activate the Griffin's signal. Fortunately, Lotte noticed and held her hand, preventing her from launching her prepared plan. Lotte's judgment was correct; Kmir's plot hadn't yet begun.

So he remained alert and observed the soldiers' every move.

In front of him, Kmir and Jayne were whispering again. When Jayne mentioned the leader of the monsters, he was startled. Then, seeing Jayne holding up his staff and chanting a spell, he thought his secret had been discovered. Little did he know, it turned out to be a false alarm. When he came to his senses, the two of them were already planning to return home.

Could it be that Kmir had no conspiracy? No, that couldn't be possible. He'd gone through all this trouble to come here and just go back without seeing anything? Could it be that Jayne was actually in cahoots with Kmir? He seemed like an honest adventurer... He must be planning to do something on the way back—definitely.

And if they let Kmir go back to the city, then when the palace investigation team they mentioned arrives, the monsters in the forest will inevitably be in danger.

So now is the time to send the signal?

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ella quietly placed one hand between her chest and Lotte's back and snapped her fingers very quietly.

【"Light".】

After he finished reciting it silently, the forest that was already bathed in sunlight suddenly became extremely dazzling. Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes, and the team began to become chaotic.

When everyone opened their eyes, what they saw was a group of silver wolves with ferocious and hateful eyes that would normally be difficult to deal with just one of them.

Chapter 38 The Opening of the Stage

Looking at the dozens of puppet silver wolves surrounding her about ten meters away, Ella felt relieved - the plan should be proceeding as usual now, right?

Judging from Kmir's current attitude, a dispute will sooner or later arise between humans and the monsters in the forest, and the miracles he created will only bring the conflict forward.

Ella exchanged glances with the smaller silver wolf leading the group.

This puppet silver wolf is the main actor in this show. Since the puppet silver wolf king cannot control the strength of his attacks while controlling multiple puppets, the griffin directly takes control into his own hands.

Now, it's time for the leading and supporting actors to step onto the stage.

The skinny puppet silver wolf in the lead took a step forward. At the same time, all the other puppet silver wolves took a step forward. Their neat footsteps made it hard to imagine that this was something a Warcraft could do.

In contrast, Kmir, Jayne and the soldiers all moved inward. As early as the moment the silver wolf appeared, the soldiers had formed a circle. The soldiers on the periphery pointed the tips of their swords at the silver wolf, and the soldiers in the inner circle took off the bows and arrows on their backs. In the middle were the magician Jayne and the powerless Lotte. Although some soldiers had sweat on their faces, at least no one ran away. This should be because Kmir often trained the soldiers.

Because she had never participated in this level of training, she couldn't join the formation and could only stand outside the circle with Kmir. In this extremely tense atmosphere, Ella recalled the sword-holding posture in "F.Wing" and pointed her "black and white wings" at a silver wolf. On the surface, she looked completely prepared for battle as a swordsman should.

The silver wolf opened its mouth slightly and let out a low humming sound. Its exposed fangs seemed to foreshadow the future of this group of people. The battle was about to break out.

"We can't handle these silver wolves in numbers. Find an opportunity to break through the encirclement and charge out. Jaune, prepare your attack magic, but don't use any reinforcements."

Kmir held the long sword, whispered instructions to the soldiers, and lowered the helmet covering his face. Just as he returned to the posture of holding the sword with both hands, a silver wolf pounced towards him.

"You chose me from the start? Hahaha, just in time, you bastard."

He used both hands to swing the long sword from the lower right end upwards. This was the most basic move he often used when he was a soldier. It was extremely useful against monsters with soft bellies like the silver wolf.

The imagined collision did not happen. The feeling of misfire from the skill making it miss made Kmir lose his balance. He barely controlled his body and moved his gaze to the front. Ella had already rushed out before he could do anything and stopped the silver wolf for him - is that so? In this way, he can also command the team. He hopes Miss Ella can hold on a little longer.

As the silver wolf charged, the atmosphere on the battlefield was instantly ignited. At this moment, all the silver wolves rushed towards the guards with roars.

"Here they come! Archers, fire!"

The sound of a bowstring being tightened was heard, followed by a sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air. At such a close distance, almost no arrows missed the target, but hitting the target did not mean that they could cause effective damage. Most of the arrows were bounced off by the silver wolf's tough fur after hitting the target and could not cause any damage. Only one or two arrows hit the softer parts of the silver wolf's body, but these arrows lost their effectiveness in the silver wolf's roar.

"It's actually an evolved silver wolf, damn it, help me buy some time, ◆—●—△——"

After seeing the bow and arrow's ineffectiveness, Jayne cursed, drank a bottle of blue potion, raised his staff high, and chanted a spell that looked extremely difficult.

"This is—the Crimson Wings?! Everyone, protect Jaune."

No longer looking at Ella in battle, Kmir concentrated on commanding the army while fighting with the skinny silver wolf that looked like the leader that pounced on him.

Upon learning that their opponent was a pack of evolved silver wolves, Kmir's heart sank. Surely no one could escape the forest alive? Their only hope now lay in Jayne's magic. But even if Jayne succeeded, how many would survive? Shaking his head, Kmir cast aside his distracting thoughts and focused on the slender silver wolf before him. The stage of despair had begun.

Ella blocked the first silver wolf that attacked for Kmir—this was part of her and the Griffin's plan. According to the plan, she only needed to follow the group into the forest, then, when necessary, give the signal to block the first silver wolf that charged. Finally, in a staged battle, she would gradually move the battlefield deeper into the forest, out of sight of Kmir and the others. Then, she would quietly disguise herself as the sole god worshipped by the continent and defeat the silver wolves.

I'm not sure if I can act like the One God, even though I practiced well yesterday... Ella shook her head, her white twintails swaying. She cast aside her anxiety and focused on the Silver Wolf puppet in front of her.

In addition to the planned actions, there is another thing he cares about, which is to test how much of his swordsmanship strength he can exert.

Before casting the light magic to illuminate the people around her, Ella had already cast the "blunt blade" magic on the "black and white wings". Although the sword looks sharp at the moment, it is actually unable to cut objects at all and can only be used as a blunt weapon. Now it can be used as a weapon for Ella to practice.

When you are at level 11 and are not in the game, how strong can you be?

『Low-level strength improvement』

He couldn't reveal the fact that he could cast magic without chanting, so he didn't pronounce the skill name, and at the same time, he wanted to make it look like he was fighting hard.

"I'm going to do it!"

Ella roared, drew her sword, and rushed forward.

Because of the relationship between her weapon and her level, she didn't have to worry about accidentally defeating the Silver Wolf and exposing her strength. Ella channeled her strength into her limbs, took a step forward, and swung her "black and white wings" towards the Silver Wolf.

too slow!

This was Ella's first reaction, and this speed was completely different from the fleeting feeling in the game.

As expected, the silver wolf easily jumped away from the attack, gathering strength with its feet and charging towards him like a compressed spring. The dark wolf's mouth seemed to emit a disgusting stench. He had no time to retract his sword and readjust his posture, so he swept the sword directly across the belly of the silver wolf in mid-air.

“Bang—”

The sound of the flesh hitting the body was heard, and at the same time, the response of his arm becoming numb was transmitted to him.

When she first came to this world, Ella had experimented with the level of her body's feedback. Even if she adjusted the level to the highest, she could only be immune to damage, but not reduce pain. The only way she could reduce pain was to use magic that weakened her senses to fight the pain, but this also brought with it many problems - weakening the senses made it difficult for the body to perform the actions it wanted after being injured. For example, when a person has a fracture, they will subconsciously avoid using the fractured hand, but when they lose the sense of pain, they will not make such a judgment at all, so it is easy to make the movements non-standard or make the wound worse.

Although he would not be injured, there would not be the above-mentioned problem even if he turned on the pain resistance, but it would bring with it another fatal flaw, that is, when he completely lost his feeling, he would not be able to grasp the standard of strength. For example, a light tap in his imagination might actually directly penetrate the thing... This was why he did not turn on the pain resistance.

The silver wolf was knocked away by his sweep, but he only hit the back of the silver wolf and did not cause any damage.

It's completely different from the game... The subtle processing and realism, all of these things make it impossible for me to unleash my true strength in close combat - after all, magic is still useful.

He raised the sword again, and unlike the previous swing, this time it became a bottom-up attack like what Kmir had done before. The next second after he took the stance, the Silver Wolf kicked his feet and rushed forward again.

Due to the Silver Wolf's attack pattern, it was destined to rush into her arms. Ella found the right opportunity and prepared to fight back. Her years of experience in real-life MMORPG PVE games came into play at this moment.

Waiting for this kind of behavior of walking into a trap - in an instant, the silver wolf came into the attack range with a shout. Ella, who had been waiting for it, swung her sword upwards and hit the silver wolf's lower abdomen. As the sword was about to hit, the silver wolf twisted its body in the air, greeted it with its side abdomen, forcibly changed its trajectory and pounced on Ella's neck, pressed Ella's shoulders with its claws, and pushed Ella into the woods next to it.

"□—▼—▽——『Red Lotus Wings』."

At the same time, Jayne finished his magic chant—a dazzling flame shot up into the sky. This was the last scene Ella saw as she sank into the woods.

Chapter 39: The Only God

“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM—!”

A massive heat wave swept through the forest with unstoppable force.

A two-meter-tall circular wall of fire, centered around Jaune, rapidly spread outward, separating the soldiers from the Silver Wolf. Sheltered by the scorching heat of the Crimson Lotus Wings, everyone had a brief respite.

In contrast, there was a cry from the other side of the fire wall that was hard to tell whether it was a roar or a whimper.

“Is this the end…?”

One of the soldiers looked at the wall of fire, took a long breath, threw away his weapon and knelt on the ground.

“It’s over… It’s over…”

After this soldier knelt down, the rest of the soldiers knelt on the ground one after another like they were cutting wheat. Some covered their faces and cried, while others stared at the wall of fire in a daze without saying a word. Only their slightly trembling hands could prove that this was a living creature.

Gazing at the two-meter-high wall of fire before him, Jaune leaned on his staff, which had long been planted on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief. This must have been his greatest achievement—forcibly using the "Red Lotus Wings," a skill only available to magicians above level 15, and not only had it succeeded, but the wall of fire had reached a height of two meters. Listening to the wailing from the other side, the silver wolf must have met its end, right?

"That's—the sound of someone struggling in the flames."

Jayne muttered this, unable to help but feel proud of his magic.

"No, I don't think it's over yet. Besides, Miss Ella disappeared in the previous battle."

There was no sign of relaxation on Kmir's gloomy face. The armor covering his entire body had been bitten to pieces in the brief encounter before. After adjusting his disordered breath, Kmir roared.

"Everyone, stand up! The battle isn't over yet!"

It is hard to imagine that the appearance of a Yin Vulture can burst out such a powerful voice.

"But, Lord..."

A soldier beside him struggled to stand up from his kneeling position, with a look of panic still on his face, and pointed to the place opposite the wall of fire.

"These...these silver wolves are completely out of our league. We should take this opportunity to escape."

"Of course I know I need to run, but I have no idea what the enemy is like right now. If I run without checking the situation, I'll be dead if they catch me later. So everyone, stand up!"

Whether it was because of Kmir's words or the nature of the soldiers, except for the exhausted Jayne and Lotte who seemed to be in panic and at a loss, the others picked up their weapons again and slowly stood up. However, it was obvious that they no longer had the initial will to fight.
