Chapter 79 – 47-2 Kidnapped Elves
“Nice to meet you, elves. Do you believe in the new world to come?”
A lively female voice.
A woman in a deep robe stands in the center of the village, putting her hands together like a megaphone and shouting loudly.
“Get out of here, human bitch!”
Evelyn, who lifted and struck down the formidable staff, threatened the woman standing in the center of town.
“It’s very special right now in our church…!”
Shout!
An arrow that pierced the air fiercely pierced the woman wearing a robe at her feet.
“Warning is this one time! Go back, human!”
Evelyn struck her formidable staff again and said that next time she wouldn’t finish her warning, her twigs entwined in her spirals and giving out the shape of her spears, aiming at her, seemed ready to pounce on her.
“Oh my goodness? Don’t be so hostile. Please listen to me first, elves~”
However. Despite Evelyn’s warning, she said that she had come to spread her good word, and continued the missionary work regardless of the tips of their numerous bows and spears.
“I’ll give you 10 seconds. If you don’t leave the village by then, I will kill you.”
Even after giving 10 seconds, she doesn’t even think about going out, no, she doesn’t even think about moving, and continues to appeal to the good points of the church.
After such a short period of time, Evelyn, who indifferently stared at the human woman who kept talking, eventually raised her hand high and looked at the woman wearing a robe, and she said.
“Don’t be resentful.”
After her words, she lowered her raised hand, and along with the sound of her bowstrings, her wooden spears, which had been hovering around Evelyn, rushed toward her at terrifying speed.
There was nowhere to escape.
Arrows pouring from various directions and large wooden spears hit their targets precisely, and soon an ominous sound and a fishy smell drifted in.
One hedgehog.
Excuse me, but there was no other way to explain her collapsed, bleeding appearance while doing missionary work.
However.
“Ah… I was surprised! You almost died of surprise!”
The woman who thought she was already dead gets angry when she sees the long press-on robe.
“Ah! It was a robe I really cherished! It’s full of holes!? Even if you mend it, it must be difficult to wash it because of the blood! What are you going to do!? Ask me!”
The elves and the elder Evelyn were perplexed.
She must have died. No, she could certainly have declared her dead.
But what happened?
As she casually removed the arrow from her body, her flesh fell along with her blood.
Also, her existence as she struggled to pull out a spear made with the power of her spirit was suspicious.
“Oh. Are there holes in her body?”
She struggled to pull out her Evelyn’s spear, and she put her hand in as she looked at the hole in her own body, smiling brightly like an excited child.
“Haha!”
The elves were shocked to see the woman laughing and playing at the huge hole in her own body.
Zombies or ghouls might be better.
Because they are dead people who just eat living things without reason.
But that is different.
Did he forget the very concept that living things die?
It was so strange and scary to see her smiling, saying that it was fun even though countless arrows pierced her heart and a large wooden spear pierced her whole body.
“Do you not want to live in a new world, a world without death?”
Smiling brightly, she took off her robe that covered her face.
As she takes off her robe, her hidden white hair rustles in the small wind.
“The weather is really nice. A pleasant breeze.”
The sight of the girl playfully closing one of her eyes and tying her hair with the blood on her hand was so bizarre.
Evelyn, who couldn’t just leave the carefree girl who was facing the wind, made a long, thin spear of lumber and caught it.
Then, as she poured mana into the wooden spear in her hand, the thin wooden spear glowed green, and the elves waiting for the green flames were buzzing.
“Oh? Will you throw the spear again?”
She saw the girl who was leisurely facing the wind and was about to throw a spear burning green with her mana at her.
“The teacher is too kind. I am not a person who is suited to missionary activities. Doesn’t the elder think so too!”
“Noisy, monstrous human.”
“It’s not a monster. Am I a very ordinary, extremely ordinary person?”
****
“Mi, sorry! All, never again…! Aaaaagh!!!”
“Will the bastard who rushed to kill me never do that again? What’s wrong Go back.”
With the tip of a heated knife, he stabbed the man in the thigh begging for help.
The man’s cries of pain, accompanied by a burning stench, frightened the singing birds that sat in the trees.
If someone else heard the man’s scream, he would mistake it for the scream of a beast, and the man would faint from the pain of the blazing sword stuck in his thigh.
Chii profit…!
As he pulled out the knife stuck in her thigh, the blood evaporated, and Allen, who was walking towards the last remaining man, suddenly looked back on what he had done.
I got goosebumps when I looked back at myself putting a knife in the body of another person without hesitation, except for the first man who cut off his wrist.
‘I can’t feel guilty even if I stab another person in the wrist, arm, or leg. It’s just amazing.’
“Uncle, the subordinates are loyal. Not running away and protecting the boss. Cool, cool.”
“Hee, Yiiik!?!”
A man sees Allen approaching and runs away. But even if he stumbled on the stone in front of me and fell unsightly, he quickly crawled and ran away.
“What is a flame man who doesn’t give up?”
“Sah, save me! I, I will hand over all the wealth I have accumulated to you!”
“Are you giving up already? And I look like a beggar with no money. The money is gone Who is the client who asked me to catch the elf? Just say that and I’ll save you.”
“Well, really, if I tell you that, will you save me…?”
“Of course. I’m not a bad guy, mister. It’s very easy if you just tell me who the client is…”
Fu-wook!
Bad sound. With the sound of bones digging into flesh, Allen’s face was covered with the blood of a man who wept tears of joy.
“Crackling… That’s why I said you shouldn’t do business with slaves or sellers.”
‘What is this again… Ah, I’m so fucking nervous…’
Kicking off the dead boss’s hand that grabbed her own leg, Allen saw the old coachman smiling with his arms behind her back.
“It’s ridiculous to join hands with these worms for a new world. Isn’t it?”
Dwarf body. He looked even dwarfed by bending his back excessively, but he couldn’t approach him easily.
“Little boy. What business did you come to this forest for? If you’re doing it because you want an elf…”
“I’m here to do a favor for my younger brother.”
“Whoa. Brother’s request? What a special brotherhood. Does that brother look like he’s in a critical condition? As long as you enter this forest alone.”
“It’s poisonous. Erectile dysfunction at the age of 16 is a very serious disease.”
“Yes. Are you kidding the old man?”
“I’m not lying. Why is the old man here? Do you think it has anything to do with these guys?”
In an instant, the atmosphere changed as the small talk stopped.
When she heard that Allen was related to her slave trader, the old man’s mood changed sharply from a playful, angry laugh.
I couldn’t move easily, as if a knife had been pressed against my throat, choking my breath.
Like this man who died with a knife stuck in his head with the flick of his finger, he had an intuition that he might end up like this too.
‘It’s an inspiration I’ve never seen before in a game? The more I dig into this game, the more I can’t figure it out, Mr…!’
“Aye. Even if you know something, there are times when you have to say you don’t know.”
The words of my grandfather, who smiled quietly and gave me life advice, sounded creepy, but somehow, the lines that sounded like middle school two were funny.
‘Hmm… I wonder if I can reach it if I move quickly?’
Allen looked at the old man again, glancing at the sword in her hand.
“Truck. Your head is very noisy.”
Looking at the old man with a languid smile, I run the simulation in my head and think about how I can attack and win, but I have to. No, he didn’t seem to be able to win.
‘If I break Dai Dai with magic, I’ll win, but judging from how he throws his sword, I think he’ll die before he can use his magic.’
In terms of magic, it would surely be Allen’s overwhelming victory.
However, Allen, who was looking at the old man, did not feel a single handful of the mana he had.
Rather, with a sense of pure intimidation, he was overwhelming Allen, who had a vast amount of mana.
“Take it.”
“Yes?”
Allen, nervous and risking his life at the old man’s question, gave the old man a strange look with a bewildered voice.
“Didn’t you come to rescue the elves trapped here?”
“That… It is. But I didn’t know you would ask me to take it.”
“Originally, the whims of the elderly are very severe. Come on, hurry up. Whoa whoo.”
“Oh, thank you? Then…”
Following the old man’s words, Allen saw Colette locked in a rectangular cage.
I don’t know what kind of drug he was drunk or if he just fell asleep, but seeing him lying down with a very calm face and drooling made me laugh out loud.
‘He’s an optimistic guy. Than…’
Allen was conscious of her coachman inspiration.
“Because it’s okay. I won’t even lift a hand, so go ahead and raise it.”
She couldn’t take it literally, but she had no good alternative.
‘I don’t know. I don’t know what the hell he’s thinking.’
Grabbing her unpainted locks and dissolving them, Allen soon opened the rusty bars and raised Corette, who had fallen asleep inside, on his back.
“Are you really going?”
“Truck. I hope so.”
The old man untied his hands behind her back and asked her to go, moving her hands slowly.
“You said earlier that your whims are as bad as boiling porridge…”
“I tend not to kill children I like. So feel free to go.”
“Can I believe that? Perhaps…”
“Have you ever fished? Even though my body has lost the strength to hold the sword due to the years, I could never give up on this fishing. I tried the fish that the continent told me to serve, but there are still a lot of fish that I haven’t eaten yet.”
Hearing the word fishing in a tense atmosphere, Allen looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.
“Catching a delicious fish feels very good, like having the whole world. However, if you catch the baby of that delicious fish, you can’t be happy. Don’t you think it’s too wasteful if you eat less lean meat and more than anything else? So releasing it and waiting for it to grow up is the only joy in my life that has little left.”
‘…Welton’s a sprained sophomore grandfather. Something I can just say easily.’
“…Then I’ll leave with gratitude.”
“Oh, what is your name by any chance? I want to hear your name before I leave for the last time.”
“Allen. This is Allen Mestia.”
“That is a good name. Then, next time, let’s meet when we grow up a little bit more.”
Saying that, the old man looked at Allen as he quickly left, smiling benevolently and holding up the knife Allen had left behind.
“It looks like a very good knife.”
The old man holding a knife that is still hot leads his uncomfortable body and inserts the knife into their broken hearts.
“I’ll have to finish it and leave, chubby.”
****
“Seeing that you don’t throw spears, are you willing to listen to me now?”
“Noisy!”
“I didn’t even attack you, but you made a child you liked so much, it’s really too much! By the way, it seems that the elves also use witchcraft? You know very well that a witch’s flame, regardless of race, dies immediately if caught, right?”
“That’s you… Words. Extortion of other people’s souls… Enslavement… Haa… Haa…!”
“If you are tired, shall we talk over a cup of tea? First of all… Huh? Uh. Oh really? Okay. Oh, I’m sorry. Someone is talking, hehe! It’s an honor to see a pretty elf today! I’ll go first because I have work, so next time…! Aha! It’s too much~ You threw a spear even though we were saying goodbye. Goodbye then, elves~”
With a lively greeting, the head with many spears began to melt.
The land made of green grass soon withered rapidly, losing its vitality, accompanied by disgusting smoke from melting flesh and blood.
Breathing in, Evelyn gathered the traces left by the intruders and compressed them into a sphere so that the elven village would not be polluted with the remaining mana. Finally, Evelyn threw a spear with green flame and burned it.
“Heo-euk… Heo-euk…!”
Evelyn struggled to hold on to the railing, barely standing, her head spinning and her legs giving out soon after forcing her little mana to drain.
“Woman…”
“It’s a witch…”
“The elder wearing the green flame is a witch…”
The elves on top of the tree held on to the railing and pointed at Evelyn, who was on the verge of collapsing, calling it the second coming of the witch.
“Witches should not exist in this world!”
With a loud shout to shake off fear, one of the elves let go of the bowstring, and an arrow flew fiercely at Evelyn.
And as if the flying arrows were a signal, the elves who were pulling their bows also began to rain countless arrows at Evelyn.
Did they say that when the moment of her death comes, time passes slowly and memories of her past come to mind?
Evelyn accepted her approaching death as she quietly closed her eyes, recalling her memories from her past until now.
I was determined.
A flame was needed to stop the encroaching curse.
Even if it means being ignored by them, I… Regret it.
“What are you doing, Evelyn?”
Is it an hallucination right before death?
“Hurry up and wake up.”
“What are you? When did you come? What about arrows?”
“Arrows are fucking painful. She took two hits in the shoulder.”
The man stood in the raging flames.
“Will it hurt if I pull it out? Do you know how to use recovery spells? I know how to use it, but the quality of mana is so damn good that it’s not very effective.”
With his thick arms protecting me from the falling arrows, two streams of blood dripped down my shoulder and fell drop by drop on my face.
