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

"Spear Throwing Technique: Starfall!"

"what?!"

Ella took a step back with her right foot, and as if using a javelin, she gathered all her strength into her right hand holding the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment, and made a standard throwing motion. Then, at the moment when Berg just raised his round shield and prepared to dodge to the side, she suddenly threw the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment.

However, this does not mean that Ella gave up her weapon. The reason she threw the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment was just to avoid wasting the magic power used in "charging power".

Taking out the gorgeous longsword in swordsman mode from the storage, Ella followed closely behind the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment and attacked Berg.

As for Berg, he was exhausted after his "Fortress" skill just ended. The impact of the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment was far beyond his imagination. His entire left arm, which was tied to the round shield, was paralyzed and trembling constantly. He was unable to continue using the round shield to block Ella's slash.

Out of desperation, he could only choose to confront with his sword. Although this could easily damage his weapon, it was better than losing the competition.

Keng!

The harsh sound of metal symphony.

If it were dark, you could probably see sparks flying everywhere.

His legs sank into the snow due to Ella's strange downward force, and Berg squeezed out admiration through clenched teeth.

"As expected... Your Majesty is also skilled in close combat..."

"Compared to Berg, it's still far behind."

As Ella finished speaking, Berg used his slightly recovered left hand to strike Ella's chest from bottom to top, but Ella was not without means of resistance.

"Magic Shield."

A translucent magic shield blocked Ella's body, and the numbness caused by his fists hitting the magic shield made Berg's heart sink.

"No chant?!"

"You guessed it right, the reward is—Stun Bomb!"

When Ella read out the name of the skill, Berg's blue eyes widened instantly. He immediately raised his one-handed sword, pushed Ella away, and then rolled to the side.

And it was this action that gave Ella the opportunity to decide the outcome. Of course, it was the type that gave Berg the ability to counterattack. Ella cast the "Wind Binding Technique" on Berg, which could be easily broken free.

Deliberately reducing the intensity of the Wind Binding Technique, once Berg was encased in the cyan gelatinous Wind Binding Technique, Ella pretended to be extremely arrogant, believing Berg had lost the ability to resist. She merely glanced at Berg, who was constantly twisting in the cyan, and walked straight towards the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment that had fallen on the snow.

If he was right, Berg would only need a fraction of a second to break free from Wind Binding, and then he would attack her from behind. She could then feign a severe blow, barely using the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment to turn around and unleash a Holy Pestle Strike, effectively neutralizing Berg and ending the fight. Although Ella had intended to pretend she was evenly matched with Berg, she simply didn't trust her control of her strength.

But the truth was, Berg hadn't launched a sneak attack until Ella picked up the Pestle of Heaven's Punishment. For a moment, Ella couldn't help but feel a little strange.

【Hasn't that guy broken free yet? 】

To give Berg time for a surprise attack, Ella could only continue to feign indifference, turning her gaze elsewhere on the battlefield. Blue Flame's archers had already been dispatched by Luti, and Angeline seemed more reliable than expected, still engaging the Blue Flame team conservatively. Judging by the current situation, once Luti joined the fray, the outcome would be decided shortly.

The problem is Berg. There has been no movement until now. Ella, who can't wait any longer, turns around, only to find Berg, whose clothes are disheveled and even has snow on his hair, standing there, watching the battle on Angelique's side with emotion on his face. He doesn't seem to have any intention of launching a sneak attack on her.

"Um... not attacking?"

"Huh? Hasn't the winner been decided? As expected, it's the team that sealed the four Seals of Sin. We lost."

"No, no, the battle isn't over yet, is it? Hasn't Berg already broken free from the Wind Binding Technique?"

"But Your Majesty could have easily attacked while I was restrained by Wind Binding. He probably didn't because he was concerned about my reputation. I was indeed defeated by Your Majesty, a healer. This is an indisputable fact. Even if Your Majesty hadn't used that unexpected throwing technique at the beginning, I would have been defeated by Your Majesty sooner or later. If the other members could have come to support me, there might still be some hope, but judging by the current situation, no miracle is happening."

"what……"

Why would you think in a strange direction?

Ella's expression became complicated. In order to prevent Berg from noticing, Ella could only turn around again to prevent Berg from seeing her expression.

Berg continued to sigh to himself.

"Judging from your Majesty's appearance, he should be only about thirteen years old. Not only has he reached level 29 at this age, but he has also mastered three professions simultaneously: healer, magic caster, and warrior. I used all my strength, yet you still easily defeated me. Your Majesty truly deserves to be a ruler who could even stun even the pinnacle of warriors, Camisia-sama."

"No, no, it's just me—"

"The battle is over!"

With Camisia's solemn voice, the battle between Azure Flame and the Branch of Disaster came to an end.

Chapter 21 Daily Life in the Post Station

"As expected of the team that sealed the Seal of Original Sin, I originally thought that those achievements were due to the power of Camisia-sama, but now it seems that I was too petty. Yo, it hurts..."

The tall shield-class man patted his chest absentmindedly, his facial features wrinkled in pain. In the previous battle, the shield-class man was defeated after being hit in the chest by Angelica's sickle handle, and he didn't have time to receive the healing magic.

The healer Ina on the side poked the man with her elbow with a gloating look.

"Before the battle, he was mocking others for fighting with scythes despite being an elf, but now he has changed his tune."

"T-Then I'm just too arrogant."

"Haha, that's true. Before the battle began, even I felt that His Majesty was being a bit disrespectful by sending only three of us. But then again, is this elven lady really only level 30? The fight was like facing a monster. Just a few random jumps and my magic was rendered ineffective."

The magic caster sitting on a low stool wiped the sweat from his forehead while looking at Angeline. After the battle, everyone sat together in the inn to enjoy lunch. Since they were traveling together, Ella and her companions did not do anything rude by eating alone by the carriage.

Blowing on the steaming soup in her hand, Angelini raised her eyes and answered Cang Yan with a very cute expression.

"Only level 30 huh? I'm so fast because I gave up on defense. I'm a complete berserker."

"A berserker from the Elven tribe?"

"Ahahaha...that's it."

"The Demon King's companions are all strange—they are all very special people."

I was just going to say monster!

Almost spitting out the bread in her mouth, Ella quickly drank the warm water placed beside her. However, because the archer's words attracted their attention, Cang Yan and his group did not notice Ella's abnormality.

"It's incredible that a wizard lady with such power is a maid."

"No, I'm not a magician by profession. Maid is my real job. I learned magic just to be able to attend the academy."

The bigger reason was to make up for Ella's inability to use offensive magic easily, but this kind of thing cannot be told to others casually, so Lotte did not say it.

Berg hesitated at Luti's words and turned the conversation to Ella, who was sitting at another table.

"Your Majesty, the Demon King, is the item called Hela used by the Mage the latest weapon developed by the demons?"

"That's a product from the Demon God era, not developed by the demons."

"I see."

A look of disappointment flashed across Berg's face, and Ella subconsciously asked.

"What's the problem?"

"I'd like to buy one on credit from Your Majesty."

"Ah, there's only one Hela, I can't give you Lotte's."

He was not lying. Even though he had a warehouse full of props, he only had one Hela in storage. This product at the top of the magical technology was the prop he obtained through Gachapon. If he wanted to buy it directly, the cost would be equivalent to his half-year salary. It was not a prop that ordinary people could use casually.

"Really? Well, that can't be helped."

"Berg wants Hela to improve the team's strength?"

"Well, after the battle with the dragon, I think our team is a little lacking in offensive direction."

Because of Berg's remarks, Cang Yan and his group lowered their heads in embarrassment. Although Ella felt that Berg was being too stubborn - for Cang Yan at the moment, aiming for a dragon was too far away - she decided not to rub salt into his wounds and said something like "It's better to choose a goal that is within your ability."

"Since Berg wants to increase his firepower, I might have a suitable item here that could be useful against powerful monsters."

Ella stood up and walked to Berg at another table and handed him the last few remaining javelins in the warehouse.

"Because it's a one-time item, it's best saved for critical moments, just like a magic scroll. Its power is roughly equivalent to a fourth-tier spell."

"A fourth-tier magic scroll? Your Majesty, we don't have enough gold coins..."

"Just accept it, Berg. This isn't a demon-made item, but a weapon I forged myself. We'll be working together again in the City of the Dead, so consider this a souvenir of our first collaboration."

A look of hesitation appeared on Berg's face. Such a precious gift was not something he could just accept. His eyes kept wandering between the team members behind him and the javelin in Ella's hand. In order to make Berg make up his mind, Ella pushed the javelin forward.

"I haven't mentioned the reward for the superior magic potion yet, have I? This is an investment. It helps Berg become stronger before he completes his mission of sealing all original sins. But at the same time, if the demons are in danger in the future, Berg will need to help us. Do you understand this, Berg? The current spear throwing and future assistance are only because we see Berg's potential. It's a mutually beneficial relationship."

Although saying this may sound like raising a flag, it is impossible for the demons to encounter danger. Even if Berg can achieve a miracle and grow beyond imagination to the level of Camisia, he cannot seal all the original sins. You know, Gluttony, which ranks fourth, is already over level 70, not to mention the desire and arrogance above that. This so-called investment will never be recovered.

"...In that case, fine, I accept your Majesty's kindness."

Berg stretched out his hands, bent down and took the javelin from Ella.

Now that Berg had received the precious superior magic potion, he no longer had the right to refuse. The superior life-restoring potion was so effective that it could even cure a dying person. Therefore, regardless of the price, its existence was priceless. If he did not have enough connections, he would not even have the chance to meet it. For Berg, it was a treasure that he would never have the chance to obtain in his lifetime. If it had not been given by Ella, Berg would have been disabled for life.

Ella nodded.

"Well, let's continue eating."

After waving to Berg, Ella returned to her original seat.

◇

As they exchanged stories of their adventures, night quickly arrived. Cang Yan and his companions chose to sleep in the inn, while Ella and her companions slept in the carriage.

The windless night was unusually quiet, the only sound being the crackling of the firewood. Ella, on night watch, peered into the carriage, confirmed there was no movement, put down the branch that was stirring the fire, and stood up from the stone pier.

"Where are you going, Miss Ella?"

Lotte, who was in charge of the same shift as Ella, looked up.

"Shh—I need to go back to the Papal States and the Demon Tribe. I want to see Patricia and the others, and I also have something to ask Dean about artificial puppets."

"When will you be back?"

"Taking into account the time it takes to upgrade, we should be back before dawn."

Although the time-saving solution should be to upgrade first and then switch to find Patricia and Dean, so that the 30% experience accumulated in the experience bar can be used to reach level 30 faster, but if the time is delayed until the late night, Dean may have fallen asleep and it would be inconvenient to disturb him.

Ruthie folded her hands at her waist and bowed slightly.

"Okay, I'll explain this to the next shift, Miss Kamisia, when we hand over."

"please."

Giving Lotte a grateful smile, Ella found the character switching interface in the display bar in her mind, selected the elf's form, and waved her hand gently, indicating that she was about to leave.

"'Advanced Teleport'."

Chapter 22 A Late-Night Visit

The view suddenly changed. The originally deserted suburbs turned into a city full of lights. Although the city of Semorabi was also covered with silver-white snow, it had a lot more vitality. Ella subconsciously entered the word "miasma" in the terrain search. As a result, except for the depths of the underground tower, there was no miasma in other places. With the disappearance of the Seal of Wrath, the miasma also disappeared in this city over time.

"I don't think anyone can reach the depths of the underground tower, but just in case, we should go and purify the miasma later."

While muttering to herself, Ella used short-distance teleportation to arrive at the mansion she bought in the city of Semirabi. Of course, she couldn't expose her sudden appearance in the city of Semirabi, so she teleported directly into the mansion without being discovered by the guards.

Walking slowly to Patricia's room, Ella first switched to the state of a healer, and then knocked on the door gently - ghosts don't need sleep, so there is no need to worry about disturbing Patricia.

"Is that Fina? Come right in."

"No, it's me, Ella."

"Eh?"

Patricia inside the door let out a surprised sound. After a pause of one second, accompanied by hurried footsteps, Patricia, with her long chestnut hair tied into a neat ponytail, suddenly opened the door.

"Ms. Ella?"

Perhaps due to the bone dragon spirit, Patricia, whose body was so transparent that it was almost invisible when they first met, now looks no different from a human, except that her skin is still light purple.

Ella smiled wryly and waved slightly in greeting.

"Ahaha, if it's convenient, can I go in and talk first?"

"Of course, no problem. This was originally your residence."

Patricia opened the door and gestured for Ella to enter.

The room's decor alone revealed the Mercury Chamber of Commerce's wealth. The walls were painted a pale yellow, and various paintings were hung in various places. Though small, the room exuded a sense of opulence. The presence of bookcases and wooden tables told Ella that this was some kind of office.

The only drawback is that the room is only lit by the magic table lamp on the wooden table, and the light cannot illuminate the entire room.

As Ella looked up at the room, Patricia, who was wearing a loose nightgown, pulled out a wooden chair from behind the desk and let Ella sit where she had originally sat.

"Ms. Ella, please wait a moment. I'll go make some tea. Oh, and by the way, we need to call Fina and the others over. Since Miss Ella has been so kind to us, we must let her see how much they've grown."
