Episode 371 Recapture (3)
“This guy… is the 8th king of the Dark Elves… you madman.”
“…….”
“That… He’s a lot weaker than I thought. Maybe it’s because the ranking is low.”
Jaehyun was dumbfounded as he spoke.
No matter how it is…
Does it make sense for the 8th king to die in one shot like this?
Even with one fist?
‘Of course, King 9 was only about S-rank at best, so if you think about it that way, it seems like it’s roughly similar or a little stronger…’
But I couldn’t help but lose steam.
Basically, what are the kings supposed to do after being so weak?
More than anything, it was embarrassing that the dwarves were losing to these guys.
As long as the black-footed soles were equipped with minimal force, it would be enough…
‘Ah… minimal force.’
Unfortunately, the dwarves didn’t have that!
Jaehyun tried hard to understand.
He looked down at the dead Dark Elf’s corpse for a moment, then crossed out the residence of the eight kings marked on the map with a pen.
In any case, one less job was a good thing.
“Then, all that’s left is from 1 to 7 kings.”
Jaehyun said calmly. There was also one who was not calm.
‘I… I knew you were strong, but you’re a monster beyond your imagination…!!’
The soles of his black feet trembled as he watched Jaehyun’s powerlessness.
He was in a real shock right now.
Apparently, he was the best warrior among the dwarves. Isn’t that why he took on the role of gatekeeper and even wielded a famous sword?
However, in front of Jaehyun’s overwhelming strength, he was nothing more than a puppy.
There was one conversation that shocked him even more.
“surely. He doesn’t seem to be that strong compared to the kings I’ve seen before.”
“…huh. I don’t think there’s much of a difference.”
“With this much, we can quickly deal with it ourselves and join in.”
“I don’t think there will be much use of potions…”
Jaehyun’s other colleagues were talking about that.
To the Dwarves, the Dark Elf was like a product of fear
.
The news that the adversary had killed the 9 kings was also a scene that was shocking to black-haired people who dismissed it as a lie.
Jaehyun thought for a moment, then crossed his arms and said.
“Perhaps the dark elves noticed that we were moving. Otherwise, there’s no way they would have moved first.”
“I think so too.”
Ahn Ho-yeon agreed. It was a rational decision.
heard so far
Basically, the Dark Elves already took a stance of ignoring the Dwarves. It was as if Svartal Fame was already in their hands.
However, it was not enough to annihilate them all, so Odin told them to put their lives on hold because they could be needed at any time.
So all they have to do is to shut themselves up in a corner like they are now and enjoy their freedom to their heart’s content. You would have thought so.
However, things went wrong when Jaehyun, the antagonist, intervened.
King 1, who judged that way, would have tried to gauge the level of reappearance by using the lower-ranking king, or would have thought of killing him if the opportunity presented itself.
Well, it doesn’t make any sense now.
“Anyway, it was good because they came to die on their own.”
Kim Yoo-jung said and smiled wickedly. It is true that one of his jobs has been reduced. I thought it was her too.
Jaehyun nodded and put his hand on the frozen black-haired shoulder.
“hey. Black soles.”
“Huh huh! what?!”
“Are you still going? Did you even see this?”
“Mu, of course.”
I think my voice got a little quieter when I said the last words, but I decided not to make it an issue. I won’t listen even if I dry it anyway.
Now, I thought it wasn’t bad just to raise awareness.
Jaehyun decided to start the operation again.
“Then let’s get in touch with each other after we’ve eliminated each other through receiving magic. I’ll take care of it soon somehow and contact you.”
“okay. We’ll contact you and join you when we’re done first.”
Ahn Ho-yeon replied coolly.
It was natural. In the past, he had some pretty bad memories with the dark elves.
This time will be a good opportunity to retaliate.
“Goes.”
Jae-hyun said so and Kwon So-yul cried with Kim Yoo-jung.
And he took the black soles and disappeared first.
The first thing they will kill is King 3.
You may think you are strong from the beginning, but in fact, the liberation stage is said to be only the beginning of the second stage.
Even that must have been reached through Odin’s power.
Then there is no reason for Jaehyun to be scared at all.
Just in case, I brought Kim Yoo-jung with me. There is also her buff, so it will probably be sorted out soon.

Among the kings of the Dark Elves, he is by far the best.
The first king, Lu, was called the Knight of Light in the past.
He served the 7th King of the Elves, who was called the Holy King, and gained great trust and wealth in the process, but fell at the end.
Falling in love with Odin’s sweet offer and his desire for great power, he now sits at the top of the throne as the head of the Dark Elves.
throne.
seat of the king.
He went through a lot of hardships until he got there.
Following Odin, he slaughtered many of his own people and brainwashed those who followed him into Dark Elves to solidify their power.
After going through such a process, he is now in his current position. In other words, he was able to protect the throne.
…But news came that denied his efforts.
The first was about a year ago.
Kainan.
Although he was a weak son, his own flesh and blood and the ninth king died.
And even that, at least because they were defeated by humans.
It was truly an unbelievable story.
Afterwards, when he learned that he was a person who was the enemy and that he was a person in the prophecy to kill Odin,
he was a little convinced.
How could a weak human born from the beginning cut off his flesh and blood?
Lu thought at the same time.
He has no feelings for his dead son. Isn’t it natural that the weak die? Even if it was my son, it was no different.
What he was focusing on right now was not revenge, but the optimal situation in which he could hold greater power.
According to the news, Odin is suffering quite a bit from the opponent.
Now, what if you kill the enemy?
Odin will surely bestow even greater power.
Power stronger than now!
How many words can resonate better than that?
Lu had a pleasant imagination and gave an order to the eight kings a while ago.
Let’s gauge the skill of the adversary.
8 The king replied.
[It’s not difficult! Father, I will not do anything stupid like Kainan. I’ll bring that bastard’s head to the front right away!]
He nodded as well, as he was quite trustworthy at the level of the 8th king.
It was a bit of a problem that he was very simple and ignorant, but his skills were clear. His magic power and potential are quite high among the Dark Elves.
At best, it would be difficult for humans to overcome.
It was judged that even if he died, he could do a lot of damage. If so, the remaining lower kings will have to kill him.
“It’s the perfect plan, in my opinion.”
As Lu thought so, a piece of shocking news just flew in.
“Your Highness…”
“What’s going on?”
While sitting on the throne and remembering being favored by Odin, a servant spoke to him. He was the captain of the royal guard.
“……The eighth king is said to have died in battle….”
“…….”
Lou tried to calm down.
Wasn’t he nothing more than an expendable horse anyway?
I thought I might die, and it was inevitable.
Small sacrifices are necessary for the cause. If his death has done great damage to the adversary, what remains will be as simple as breaking the leg of a wounded bird.
After thinking, he nodded and asked.
“so. 8 How much did the king hurt? The adversary must be in tatters, of course, right?”
“That’s…”
Startled.
For some reason, anxiety began to rise from the depths of my heart.
where does it originate from?
Before he could reveal this himself, the captain hurriedly lowered his head and trembled.
“In a single blow… He died after being hit by a fist.”
“…….”
What?
At that moment, a cold sweat ran down my back.
he never knew
* * *
“I’ve felt this before, but I don’t know why the dark elves got so bad. He said they were nice guys at first. is not it?”
Hearing Kim Yu-jung’s voice, Jae-hyeon was slowly entering the dark forest, guided by the soles of his black feet.
It was because I had heard that the castle of the third king was inside.
Jaehyun’s face was a little excited.
‘I can finally properly check the power of the imprint. If you think that this power can be useful at any time, you should test it in advance…’
Even while thinking so, Kim Yoo-jung and Jae-hyun continued to break through all the Dark Elf soldiers standing in their way.
“Huh!”
The dark elf’s black blood spattered on the black-haired face.
He took out a pink handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the blood away with his hands trembling.
I have given up on distinguishing who is good and who is bad.
For some reason, Jae-hyun is tearing up enemies with his fists and has an excited face, and Kim Yoo-jung looks pretty and is destroying the nearby area with magic, so he can’t help but be embarrassed.
“Is this a saint with three kings?”
Jaehyun, who arrived in front of the castle before he knew it, put on a happy expression.
It became possible to use items engraved with the mark of destruction.
It’s about Tyrving’s control of the user’s mind. If you use cold-blooded and let it flow in moderation, there’s no big problem.
Isn’t it enough to clean it up before the effect of the skill ends?
“Anyway… it’s annoying to search all over this castle…”
Jaehyun thought so and came up with the best way.
‘You don’t have to enter the castle, do you?’
Just like the first time, you just have to come from the other side first.
Thinking so, he smiled while raising his mana.
“Guys, be careful.”
―Activate the action skill «Meteor Lv 5».
A huge fire-bearing boulder floated above the purple sky and then slammed into the castle with a clatter.
Along with that, an absurd message was heard in Jaehyun’s ear.
―You have succeeded in defeating the field boss monster «The Third King of the Dark Elves: Jis».
―Divine usurpation usurps the dignity of the designated target.
―You have acquired a minor rank.
“…….” ”
…….”
“…….”
Jaehyun scratched the back of his head once again with an embarrassed expression.
“I didn’t know… that this time it would be one shot…?”
