Episode 162. Elves (2)
Shadow Mercenaries.
Their strength was rather widely known after the cataclysm.
In the past, if the reputation of the Shadow Mercenaries could only be guessed through rumors, now it was possible to observe their abilities in reality.
Among them, Rock Kid was a celebrity.
“Why did one of you pass out yesterday?”
Kingdom of Yusra.
At the Golden Calf Tavern, Lockkid’s drunkenness was considered a specialty.
Occasionally, players who were rambunctious or could not stand injustice would quarrel with Rockkid and pay a heavy price for it.
“You say your eardrums ruptured or something?”
To stun a player over level 300 just by shouting!
Rumors surrounding Rock Kid did not end there.
Aren’t you a rock kid who enjoys being in the spotlight?
Lockkid’s battle video was not difficult to find on the Internet.
– I thought he
was just ignorant.
-You move so fast with that body? It’s absurd
.
As expected, it was because he was a rock kid who was hungry for interest.
Rockkid proudly told reporters about his past.
-Really? The outlaw in the Colosseum was the Rock Kid?
-That 100-win undefeated gladiator?
-Wait a minute, even a man with muscles in his brain is a rock kid?!
-What is it? Ogre wearing a human mask was also a rock kid?!
It’s been a while since I’ve heard it, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.
Rockkid didn’t feel too bad.
Because it seemed that his strength was finally known to the world.
however.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
“This crazy!!”
The unbelievable happened.
Kagagagak!
embers frying.
Lockkid raised his two-handed ax and barely blocked the sword attack.
shock delivered nonetheless.
Kwadeuk!
It wasn’t enough that the ground I was stepping on was crushed.
His own body was pushed back several steps.
The corner of Rockkid’s mouth twisted.
“I don’t know what an elf is, but it’s damn cheap. okay?”
I never thought I would point my knife at you.
By the way, if I had drunk it over a drink…
I could have really put my life in danger.
Chuck—
Rockkid raised his axe and met his eyes.
Looking at it again, it’s a different perspective.
On the battlefield and in a life-and-death duel.
I’ve seen the eyes of many people.
It was the first time I saw such a gaze.
For example, if I had to pick a target for comparison…
Let’s take the leader Kichi, who was blatantly killing himself.
‘…Can I see that as living?’
Unlike her, he didn’t feel alive.
As if bugs don’t even need to exhale to live.
Because the contemptuous eyes were clear.
“I don’t like it in many ways, starting with the nice pair?”
Fighting is absolutely forbidden.
I felt sorry for the leader who had been trusting me, but it seemed that he would not be able to keep his promise. To avoid an on-set fight? The world’s Rock Kid-sama, it was something that couldn’t have happened in advance.
Kwadeuk-!
Rockkid’s muscles contracted in an instant.
Kwak!
It kicked off the ground and jumped out.
realized with the first sum.
There was no need to hide your strength in front of that elf.
Lockkid’s ax fell over the elf’s head.
Eyes met again.
The eyes are still arrogant.
‘Let’s see how far arrogance can go!’
Rockkid roared.
“My name is Rock Kid! He is the man who will take your head!!”
The Shadow Mercenary’s Horse Stone.
However, this does not mean that Lockkid is the weakest member of the Shadow Mercenaries.
The destructive power of a blow that comes from muscular strength.
It was to the extent that even within the mercenary group, Lockkid was considered the best for that single attack. It was the moment when such a blow fell right in front of me. The boy had no agitation.
“It’s pitiful.”
just said that
Are you sorry?
I don’t know what bullshit you’re talking about.
If you ever intend to shake my mind with bullshit.
‘I’ll answer that there’s no way!’
Wow!
Lockkid gritted his teeth and took the ax down.
At that moment, the guy’s sword moved slowly.
Are you saying you’re going to block a blow that can’t be blocked with even magic?
‘A cheeky bastard.’
bang!!!
The moment when a huge ax and a sword collide.
Softly—
it was rather Rockkid’s body that collapsed.
…stuck?
my hit?
With only one sword?
I couldn’t believe it even though I was watching it with my own two eyes.
Lockkid murmured involuntarily.
“…how with a sword that isn’t even wrapped around it?”
The arrogant gaze turned to Rock Kid again.
“This is the difference in birth.”
“…difference in birth?”
“The difference between the blessed and the unblessed.”
The bullshit of ‘blessing’ popped up again.
It’s damned that the attack is blocked.
The guy in front of me wasn’t taking the fight seriously.
The world’s lockid pride could not tolerate it.
It was a time when Rockkid raised his strength again.
“Well, it’s become an old story now.”
“…?”
“That means I don’t have time to waste on trivial things.”
Where are you?
I wasn’t careless for a single moment.
I lost sight of him.
Fast beyond swift.
Is that as long as the movement of a living thing is correct?
‘The dimension is different.’
The words that suddenly passed through Lockkid’s head.
-“This is the difference in birth.”
did you mean that?
Because it’s an elf, not a human, it can radiate monstrous power with such a weak body. Is it possible to achieve speed that transcends humans? Rockkid gritted his teeth.
“As expected, the world is fucking unfair…!”
hooked!
“Ouch!”
A sword that cuts through the chest.
Is it because of the numerous battle experiences?
My body reacted first.
Thanks to that, the swordsman narrowly escaped the heart.
Crying!
“… you crazy bastard. That bullshit was sincere.”
Blood gushed from his throat.
This made it clear.
There was no joy, anguish, or even awareness of the loss of life in the attack of that elf. It was just like trampling on a small insect, aiming for his own heart.
I could intuit.
‘monster.’
Elves are the true monsters.
Rockkid forced his stumbling body to stand up.
I pictured dozens of battles in my head.
Damn there wasn’t a single picture of winning.
Damn all the losers.
“I’m sorry about that, Captain.”
Rockkid stuttered a number in his head.
Let’s see, even if you count the credits attached to the tavern, it would be more than my share of the commission fee…. If the leader wants to make up for my share, I’ll have to work hard in the temple.
The moment you finish thinking.
Rockkid’s eyes suddenly changed.
It’s sudden, but dying in a battle with a strong one.
Isn’t that the death you’ve always wanted?
And if possible ….
“Leaving a wound for a lifetime to the fucking baby.”
I don’t know if it’s the leader or the Wolf guy.
I didn’t know that I would make such a promise to such a big-eared guy.
If you pulled out an axe.
It means leaving at least one plausible scar.
“Aaaaaaa!”
He raised his strength with spirit.
from the mouth to the chest.
Blood gushed out, but Rockkid didn’t care.
“Goes. I will leave an indelible scar on the unlucky couple.”
If it is a life that is dying out anyway, it will be burned short and thick!
.
.
.
The players looked at the battlefield.
“Yes, this is the smell of the battlefield!”
It is a battlefield where quests and loot exist.
Besides, the one on the battlefield is the legendary Elprani.
It was only natural for players to flock to it.
However, from the start, it was different from what was expected.
──────
‘Pain-Eating Mountain Beast Leader’: Lv.900
‘Pain-Eating Mountain Beast Adult’: Lv.700
‘Pain-Eating Mountain Beast Cub’: Lv.500
──────
Minimum level 500 to maximum Up to level 900.
The moment you encounter them on the battlefield.
The players freaked out.
beyond ‘big’.
It’s huge.
too big to pass
“Oh no. What kind of monster is that big!!”
dozens of meters.
Even the kid who looked like a baby was tall enough to be three stories high.
Besides, there were too many heads.
It’s a shame because the battlefield area was created in an empty field.
If you think you’ve unluckily appeared in the middle of the city…
“It’s terrible. really.”
It’s a while to be overwhelmed by the scale of the devil.
The players quickly looked around.
To match the number, the number of elves would have to be as large as that.
For some reason, there was only one elf in sight.
“Could that be all?”
A lone elf against a vast army of demons.
Even those who thought to jump into the battlefield faster than anyone else had to notice.
“How am I supposed to do this?”
Now the [Unfinished Crusade] quest is in progress.
No matter how good the loot was, no player would stand on the devil’s side. Ultimately, there is only one option. It was just joining the elves.
“…no, what would change if we joined?”
Jumping into a battlefield where defeat is dark?
It was natural to be hesitant.
But that was just a whim.
Shuk–
“Huh huh?”
long golden hair.
Shock—
“Wait a minute.”
Leaving only a golden afterimage.
The elf jumped among the demons.
Puff—
“…huh?”
With that the battle was over.
It’s like I didn’t see anything in vain.
A message floated in front of the players’ eyes.
[‘Battlefield: Mountain Beasts vs. Elves that Eat Pain’ has ended.] It
was not enough to watch, so the result was recorded as a video.
I just couldn’t believe it.
How could he, alone, leap among the many demons and claim victory? While everyone was shocked, some players exchanged glances.
“…If you do this well, can’t you build a relationship?”
“Because I’ve just been summoned to reality.”
“Kindly guiding me…!”
The elves are strong at a level they could not even imagine.
Enough to slaughter a level 900 demon-type monster with just a few swings of the sword. If you build a friendship, it will be helpful in some way.
It was the moment the players were about to head towards the elves.
“!”
I was met with an unusual look.
The elf’s cold eyes were directed at them.
The look in your eyes is not much different from when you look at the devil.
The pressure forced everyone to freeze.
Except for one rock kid.
“Do you know where our blessing is?”
“…blessing? What bullshit all of a sudden.”
“You foolishly don’t even know what a blessing is.”
To be able to speak normally under such pressure.
Indeed, it was the courage of a shadow mercenary.
But the admiration did not last long.
bang!
Because the elves rushed to Lockkid.
“After all, it was not an illusion!”
“Isn’t that a complete madman?”
“Ooh, you really tried to kill us?!”
Everyone who watched swallowed dry saliva.
I never thought the day would come when I would cheer for Rockkid.
However, cheering is colorless.
In just two moves, the elf’s sword pierced Lockkid’s chest.
“Ouch!”
Blood splattered on the floor.
“…Hey, are you just watching this?”
“Isn’t it supposed to dry?”
“No matter how you look at it, you seem to be misunderstanding something?”
Elf.
unknown existence.
unknown strength.
My body didn’t listen to the fear coming from the unknown.
Quadruped!
With a roar, Rock Kid’s movements gradually slowed down.
The blood that was only a few drops of blood made the surroundings overflow.
Everyone could intuit.
“I’m really going to die if I do that!”
If Lockkid collapses, then what?
There was no law that the elves’ blades would not be pointed at them.
Above all, the elf had no reason.
Well, the only conversation the elf had with Lockkid was…
“Isn’t that all you asked for blessings or something?”
The ones who don’t know about the blessing are Rock Kid, themselves, and each other.
Should I run away?
Or should I join Rock Kid right now?
It was the moment when the panic-stricken players hesitated.
“…You’re strong enough to be damned.”
thud!
The bloody Lockkid collapsed as it were.
Is there no interest in the breath that will go out anyway?
The elf’s gaze shifted.
From the lock kids to the players.
Someone mustered up the courage to shout.
“It’s too late to run away. And if you run away like this…!”
That blade is aimed at reporters and ordinary people.
In fact, if it were like before.
I would have run the line without even thinking about it.
However, the damn quest kept getting caught in my eyes.
─Prove your worth in the area. (Success)
I don’t know if it’s because of his pride or what.
At least my body refused to let me out of that psycho elf.
Of course, not all players felt the same way.
“I don’t know! How can I stop such a monster!!”
“…I will join you. I don’t know if it will help.”
“Somehow, the support exploded a lot! Damn, hyungs, I’m going first!”
in a fuss.
The elf moved.

still with an arrogant gaze.
access to players.
“…!!!”
It was the moment I was about to …
Gooooh—
mana waved in the air.
Higher magic portal.
A voice came from beyond the overflowing mana.
Again—
an unknown existence.
Even in the face of unknown fear.
As always, a proud voice continued.
“Stop.”
I was just spitting out the words.
As I watched, something unbelievable happened.
“…?”
Stop.
As if obeying the word.
The elf stopped in an instant.
“…!”
Agitation began to spread across the elf’s face, which hadn’t changed.
