I said it bluntly because they suddenly appeared out of nowhere and I lost my chance to cut off the priest's head.
"You really can't leave me alone for a second."
"As Manager, I don't even know what you're doing."
the Great Priest used this time to retreat quickly and used his magic to hide himself.
I know that he used transparency magic to hide himself, but I can't catch up to him.
The manager looked like they would stop Me if I chased after him because they kept staring at Me.
"I don't think it's gonna be like this."
The manager who was watching the fight from behind had a surprised expression.
The man who nearly killed one of the leaders was something that had never happened in this stage.
No matter how strong a person was, they could not fight against a priest or clan leader.
I was just about to undergo pa.s.s through this stage of quickly completing the task given to Me.
It was natural to avoid a battle with a strong opponent and everyone tried to do just that.
Sometimes, idiot humans tried to form groups and fight, but they ended up getting killed.
"I don't remember there was a rule not to kill the Great Priest."
"Yes you're right."
As they mentioned, the Manager should not have intercepted in this battle.
They broke the rules and instead of standing and watching, they jumped into battle.
"If my rights are taken here, how can I trust you and step onto the stage?"
I'm not wrong and the manager can't answer.
"Delivering may not be the best solution."
Once I find a gap, I plan to attack them.
Even if it means death.
"What do you want? You want to know why I was intercepted? You're just a human swimming through the system we created."
The manager was bragging and hoping that I would give up first, but it was useless.
What he said only made me more excited, which caused me to tighten my grip on my sword.
"I was humiliated .. by man."
He was angry at some things, but he had no right to kill me.
If he did, then the other Managers wouldn't just stand idly by.
"How about this? I'll attack you just once. Depending on the outcome, you can tell me or not."
"Hm?"
It was definitely a surprising offer.
Even if he became stronger, there was no way he could injure a Manager.
"Ack."
Despite that, the Manager was unable to accept it due to my confident expression.
The manager knew that I would not only hurt him, but would try to kill him if I had the chance.
"Okay, I agree."
He pondered for a moment and hoped that nothing bad would happen.
This is not the first time a Manager and a human are fighting each other, but in the end, the Manager always wins.
It'll be the same this time, too.
"Mr Krosus !!"
Kalax, who was injured by the Great Priest, stood up.
Not thinking about the injury he had, he quickly knelt down and worshiped her.
The surrounding clan leaders and the surviving Orcs stood around and then lowered their heads.
"You're fine, Kalax. I wish you good luck."
"…Thank you."
"We'll meet again."
And just like that, Krosus moved Me and the Manager to an area far from the temple.
"Did you hear how Kalax's voice shakes? It could be because she watched me save the Great Priest."
"I'm not sure boring Orcs can think that far."
"They're smarter than you think. I wonder how they will react once they find out that the G.o.d they worship has balanced both sides and ignited the war."
The manager had an evil smile on his face.
"It doesn't matter if they know about the truth. They had gone so far that there was no way they would make such a diplomatic decision. Both sides have shed too much blood."
At that moment, My body was filled with such great anger that I almost lost my chance.
"What's religion? There is a temple where they worship you and the followers who follow. The taste of a pervert manager? Do you want them to worship you because you created them?"
"I didn't create it. They've been here a long time."
The energy to manage the stage depends on the strength of the Manager.
A lot of materials were needed to create monsters, atmospheres, systems and everything else that completed the stage.
Therefore, Managers like the stages that have been made.
They just need to change a few things before using them.
"There are many stages in which we borrow geographical land to create stages. There are humans who finish for another stage that have similar features to this one."
While listening to his explanation, I slowly retrieved the sword from the inventory.
The lightning stuck to the ground and as before, it released its energy.
"What spear is that?"
"I got it from this stage."
"… Did you get it here?"
Krosus's field of vision is broad so he can see all areas of the stage.
The fact that he did not see the spear even once made no sense.
Moreover, it seemed like the spear was not created by the Managers.
"Where did you find him?"
"There is a plateau where spirits live. The spear was on a cliff and that's where I got it."
Krosus also knew about the plateau very well.
And the fact that there's a cliff behind it.
However, he did not see the spear.
'In that case, does that mean that the spear has a mind of its own and hides from me? There's no way that could happen. '
That's when he started to feel anxious.
Humans experience fear every time they experience something that goes against common knowledge and this is commonly used by Managers as well.
"Just stand there."
I told him not to move.
Piercing them with a spear was the best method, but I had a feeling that I would be the first to come out after using that spear.
Throwing a spear instead might be better.
"Hm?"
The manager is busy building multiple layers of shields to create a strong defense.
They might think about getting hit by my attack instead of avoiding it.
"Don't waste any more time."
The manager did not answer at all and focused on completing the shield.
The way they hurriedly created the shield made them look very awkward, so I couldn't help but smile.
That's when I pulled the spear.
I did not think of the best way to dispose of it and instead, twisted my body and threw it.
In that short period of time, the spear devoured half of the mana, but it was not as bad as the last time.
Zaaaaaaap !!
Just like their names, thunderous roars filled the entire area.
My eardrum is damaged and blood begins to flow down, but I have no time to feel the pain.
There are others more in pain than I am and rolling around.
"Gahhhhhhh !!"
The manager started screaming.
Just like humans.
Their upper bodies were cut and their lower parts were cut into pieces.
The light turned into liquid and white blood started flowing out.
"Ack !!"
This was probably the first time they felt pain, as they continued to roll around on the ground.
I thought their bodies would regenerate and they acted as if nothing had happened, but it didn't happen.
"If I throw them better, I can actually kill them."
If only the spear hadn't eaten my MP and made me lose my concentration.
I could throw it in their hearts and kill them.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I'll kill you."
They must have forgotten the promise we made earlier because their eyes were filled with nothing but revenge as they glared at me.
In the end, it wasn't just me who made it possible because the spear did most of the work in killing them.
If I had to fight them, I would definitely lose my life.
However, there was no reason to fight.
And then, the 13th Manager showed up on time.
"I wonder where you're going, but you don't look so great."
Even as a Manager, he looked down on their actions.
"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d tried to kill me. Aren't."
"You're the one who agrees, so you're the one responsible for losing."
"You .. d.a.m.n that's !!"
The 13th manager will take them to where the other Managers are.
But I intercepted and stopped them from disappearing.
"I still haven't told you my request."
"… okay. What do you want? Should I make a good item like last time?"
"A problem like that is something I can handle on my own. There's something else. Next time, it's best not to disturb anything I do. Be it the level of difficulty, the stage, or other things."
The 13th manager glared at Krosus instead of at me.
"We will grant your request and our Manager will no longer intercept anything Kang Jin Woo does."
"You guys put me in a bad place since the third stage, so how can I trust you guys?"
"… I promise. Really."
For some reason, his last comment sounded a bit sad so I couldn't say anything.
"No need to take another base. As we promised before, we'll get you back to the real world."
"Congratulations on completing the fifth stage. We plan on sending you back to the real world in an hour."
As soon as I saw the message, I felt desperate.
To retrieve the spear, I walked into the forest.
The spear returned to its branch shape.
"I wonder how much mana they have to consume to use the same amount of power ... well, I ended up using it once, so I feel satisfied."
Although Krosus did not fully recover, he had to attend the meeting the Managers had.
Upon hearing that a Manager was injured, the other Managers had to stop what they were doing and attend the meeting.
"You're a mess. That fellow. She's amazing."
Instead of worrying about their colleagues, a Manager praises the humans who hurt the Manager.
They wanted to clap for humans, but not because of the heavy atmosphere.
"The 12th manager of Krosus, why did you intercept in that human battle?"
The first manager at the center asked.
"At the fifth stage, no living being is strong enough to face the Great Priest. To defend the stage, we desperately need their strength."
"In other words, you're saying that you don't want to lose the stage I manage."
"I already told you when the fifth stage was made that we could utilize the fifth stage in various ways. We can't lose that stage."
"All I hear is excuses. The 12th manager has always been obsessed with the place."
Depending on how much someone manages their stage and the quality of their management, it can greatly affect their ranking.
Among the Managers, there are those who put all their time and energy into defending the stage.
There are also some of them who have a strong desire for them to start obsessing.
"The "fifth stage is the one guarded by the 12th Manager himself. It was also the stage where the 12th Manager a.signed to the new manager."
"Another problem we have is that we can no longer bother him."
"Since the 13th Manager has been working well, they may be depressed because of it."
Everyone looked down on Krosus, who was currently sitting in the middle.
Due to the balance problem, the Fourth Manager supported them before, but now, it remained calm.
Recently, the conflict between the Managers deepened.
At first, they work well together to achieve their goals, but their teamwork is slowly falling apart.
"We'll deal with the 12th manager's punishment later. First, I want all the survivors who are currently supporting the Elves to be returned to the real world."
The manager listened to the First Manager's decision beforehand, but they didn't think he would actually enforce it.
"Maybe there are skilled survivors among them."
"It's been four years since we opened the first stage. All the skilled survivors were already at the 15th stage. We don't have time to take care of everyone who comes in after them. And the time it took for them to return became even faster. "
The bad news caused the Managers to frown.
"This time, I hope to find a human who can get rid of them at our place. Seeing the human race collapse several times was painful."
