Uuuh, how did he attack the guild master (without actually attacking or even approaching guild master)? And why did the barrier suddenly break after he failed (despite not attacking after it got blocked? And why did the head pop off after barrier broke (despite not attacking - or approaching, still - after barrier broke)?

Of is it canon that he literally attacked through the fourth walls, by merely pointing/laying his sword across the manga's panels? As opposed to attacking through the regular dimensions of space and time? Because that is the only way I can explain things, and the sword does exceed its own panel on that page (though it never hit his neck).

Worst part is how incredibly short-sighted these elves are.
Let the dwarves have their time with the otherworlder... who have short lifespan and can't transfer their skills.
The dwarves would have a slight boom in artefact creation, on a limited scope at that because they rely on a couple of individuals, and a few years later they can't do anything anymore because the people necessary for the crafting die of natural causes.
This would then demonstrate how unreliable isekai crafting is in comparison to the elves'.

In comparison, the demons are a more lasting threat, but they don't seem interested in competing with the elves.

Elves have very long lifespan, make them act like they do. Make they play the long game. That's their strongest advantage.
So any animosity towards the elves and their eventual demise will be entirely caused by their own actions.

---

For the sake of the shorter timespan of the story, have them point this out: "Your actions are futile. You might be enjoy your ride now, but these otherworlders will eventually die. Everyone does. Then, the whole world will see that nothing is more reliable than elvish craft." Then they can use social manipulation to leverage their already considerable influence against the budding competition, pointing out to existing customers how the new dwarven+isekai products are flashy but unsustainable. Better yet, encourage them to try and get their hands on the otherworlders. Delegate, keep their hands clean. They are above committing petty crimes themselves.

Instead, immediate violence is their answer. This is a waste of an otherwise interesting premise.

Turns out that having a long lifespan doesn't shield you from one of humanity greatest weaknesses : "Being shit at long term planning", all they're creating is a whole race of resentful people and by continuously attacking demons all their doing is guaranteeing a future war with them, war during which dwarves might side with demons and humans might seize the opportunity free themselves from the elven control and having a "gamer moment" on the elven population if you catch my drift (we humans hold grudges for a long time).

The pacing of this manga is such ass. No worldbuilding, no depth, no character, and it leaps through events with the speed of a bullet train and the grace of a drunk train on ragged tracks.
It's sad because the story is kinda original for once.

Rule 2 of an ambush situation: Leave no survivors, or they could come back later and in a larger group.

What is rule 1? That'd be to survive, but it looks like MC and FMC have that covered. There companions not so much.

I couldn’t tell if the dwarf girl is still alive or not. I didn’t see wounds or blood but she’s not moving. Hopefully she’s still kicking

Sure, the paneling is a bit goofy and he should have been out of melee range from the GM but other then that it is quite clear to me what happened. Panel 1, he attacks and hits the barrier at neck height. He doesn't stop the attack, but keeps the pressure up. Panel 3, the shield breaks. Panel 4, off with his head.

I'd guess that she is probably just unconscious since she appears on the cover art. Besides that they need a dwarf as a witness to this incident to help galvanize the other dwarves against their elf overlords.
