"It's begun."
In a corner of the Queen's Palace, Lasha, dressed in a maid's uniform, gazed outside, her eyes wavering slightly.
The war was unfolding before her eyes, and she could see every bit of it. It was impossible for her to remain completely unaffected.
Unfortunately, she was a Magic Life with absolutely no combat ability. She was capable of every household task and perfect at miscellaneous chores, but fighting was the one thing she could never manage.
If the Queen's Palace itself had not been a treasure, if the Elves had not once directly driven the Queen's Palace onto the battlefield and used its natural barrier and sturdiness as a fortress—allowing Elven mages to stand atop it and unleash countless spells upon the enemy, turning the battlefield into scorched earth—then Lasha would not even have been able to stand here and watch the battle, protected from the various aftershocks of war.
But this was already her limit.
Other than watching the battle here and waiting for the outcome, Lasha could do nothing.
Thinking of this, Lasha could not help turning her gaze toward the room behind her.
That was Shien's room.
Now, that room had been completely isolated.
Before the battle, Elf Queen Sophie and Goddess of Nature Nadula had personally come here. Together with the Queen's Palace barrier, they had separated the space containing Shien's room.
The purpose was naturally to prevent Shien from being disturbed, to keep the sounds of war from startling him and interrupting his transcendence.
Nadula and the others had truly made up their minds not to let Shien participate in this war.
To them, Shien safely completing his transcendence, fully bringing out his own power, and becoming the strongest being beneath the Demon King and the Supreme God was more important than anything
