Chapter 146 – The Night Before the Storm (6)
‘What are these clothes made of!?’
Rua, who stormed into the battlefield, clicked her tongue when she saw the leather clothes of the special operations unit, which were resistant to magic bullets fired by wizards. It was the effect of leather clothes made by processing the carapace of a mutant possessing magical powers among the monsters.
“Oliver, you bastard, got hit? There was no order to attack first in the first place.”
“I couldn’t help it because I was in a hurry! Be chased Never miss!”
Lua groaned at the sight of her fellow knight grunting after being hit by an arrow in one of her arms. In fact, he frowned and shouted furiously, telling him to go after the elves.
In fact, the elves of Eden were on the verge of turning and fleeing.
‘Sheesh.’
As in her haste, Lua chased after them alone. Fairy ants were also injured or knocked down, so the special operation team was running away on their own two legs.
“Stand there! Kut!”
She brushed her sword, spurred the ground at once and closed the distance between her and thrust the sword into the body of the nearest member who was fleeing.
But at that moment, an arrow shining with blue mana slashed her sword and pierced the tree behind her.
“Are you the captain?”
“The Central Conference’s puppets. If he pursues any further, he has no choice but to kill.”
Lua, holding her sword with her twitchy hand, recognized that Leon, who had shot her with an arrow, was doing something unusual, and she smiled. Leon, too, knew that Lua was a special human being, that she was a knight, and kept her distance and warned her.
‘To be arrogant about elves who don’t know anything.’
In response to Leon’s threat, Lua rather raised her repulsion. Most of the elves brought to her kingdom, including her Luri, were weaker than she, the youngest of her knights.
Of course, the elves who quickly got used to the person-to-person battle, which they had never experienced before, grew up quickly and surpassed her or became equal to her, but thanks to that, Lua had her prejudice that elves in the Great Forest are weak until they learn. Was placed inside her.
“Ha.”
Leon let out a sigh when he saw that young human female knight ignoring his warning and running towards him. She shot arrows to keep her distance, but ironically Lua was familiar with the elven archery.
It was thanks to her fighting tediously with Ruri in the early days that she learned how to fight elves in her role.
All the arrows were easily deflected away, and at the same time, as she got closer to Leon, she slammed the handle of the sword into his stomach without hesitation.
“Ugh?!”
“You are strong too. But I don’t think it’s any worse than that wolf.”
However, Lua’s sword was blocked by Leon’s drawn sword. She widened her eyes at the fact that her own sword had been blocked by her elves, especially her unlearned elves of the Great Grove.
‘I wasn’t just playing around. To never feel that helpless again.’
Leon swung her sword with all his might. After the battle with the wolf, which shocked her, she steadily forged her own sword.
Although the target of her practice was not a humanoid enemy, but a savage monster or mountain beast, the sword that glowed mana instantly pushed Lua’s sword away without difficulty.
“Where are you going with such poor swordsmanship…!”
Of course, it was impossible for Leon to push away Lua’s sword, which had only been trained with one sword. If she was a decent knight, Lua was also a knight of outstanding talent who was recognized for her skills.
She quickly gained the upper hand against Leon and thrust her sword right up to his neck.
‘Should I use it?’
In an apparent crisis situation, Leon recalled what he was wearing around his waist. Reason hesitated whether to use it or not, but before he could decide anyway, his body naturally took out the weapon he was given to use in this situation.
‘What is this?’
Luca clearly saw it. She clearly saw Leon pulling it out from his waist and aiming it at herself, but even when she saw the black muzzle right in front of her nose, she didn’t respond and continued to swing the sword at him.
He didn’t even dare to guess what it was or what form of attack it would take on him.
“Wow.”
At the same time, bullets were fired with a roar. A bullet fired right in front of her nose ricocheted off her vauntlets and landed directly on her head.
Although she couldn’t pierce the strong air of mana that was wrapped around her body, the shock was transmitted and Lua’s head bent over her eyes, and at the same time her unconscious body fell backwards and landed on the floor. Crashed
“It worked.”
Leon looked blankly at the pistol in his hand. It seems a bit unreasonable to say that it worked perfectly, but even so, this pistol made by the dwarves was able to radiate enough physical force to deliver enough blows to the body of a knight without mana action.
After catching his breath, Leon picked up his sword again and approached the fallen Lua with a drop of blood dripping from his forehead. She has no reason not to retaliate as long as she has been attacked first. Above all, Lua even witnessed her pistol, so it was a good choice to keep her safe.
‘Don’t blame me, little one.’
Leon raised his sword to decapitate her. It was a war of killing each other, but Leon was not a psycho who felt joy in her slaughter.
“Stop it, Leon!”
“!!!”
But just before he strikes the sword. Someone came running and shouted urgently.
Leon heard the voice and froze on the spot. It’s not just about calling your name.
It’s been a while since I haven’t heard that voice that earnestly called me, but it was a voice I’ll never forget.
“Ruri.”
He managed to turn his head and let go of his sword. The person there is, of course, his wife, whom he has been looking for so long.
His eyes shook violently when he saw the wife standing there, dressed in a similar outfit to the human knight now lying on the floor.

“The reason why we called the meeting so suddenly is because there is an urgent matter.”
Serenian opened his mouth first as he saw the tense faces of those gathered under his direction. In fact, she was a bit bewildered right now, so the atmosphere of her meeting itself was a bit distracted.
“What the hell is going on?”
“I finally got in touch with the victim who was forcibly taken to the human realm by the Elder.”
She told them the story of Leon and Ruri, who had been reported just before. What process did they go through and how did they meet, etc. Naturally, the conference room was very noisy.
“Now, isn’t that a good thing? If those who were taken away have returned, persuade them to become allies…”
“Of course Ruri wanted to join us, but she won’t come here.”
Serenian shook her head at some elves who were pleased. As she said, Ruri had rejected Leon’s proposal to go to Eden.
“The humans are maliciously degrading us, judging us as agents of another human force, and continue to incite the residents of the Great Forest with false information. Thanks to that, more and more of her people are suspicious of us, so she voluntarily stayed among them, providing information for us and convincing her colleagues based on the proper facts.”
She said, “It is an understandable operation, but I have heard that the status of my own people is not very high. I wonder if she can do the job of acting as her spy on her own.”
“…There is something prepared for that.”
From noble mtl dot com
Serenian listened to Rondel’s objection and nodded. Actually, the range in which Ruri can work alone is not that wide. Although it is a cooperative knights group, the reality is that most of the important work is done by humans.
That’s why Ruri alone isn’t enough. We need an informant who will help Ruri more actively.
“So, is that human knight named Lua a trustworthy human who is willing to work for our Eden?”
“No. So, we have to make sure that it is believable.”
Serenian laughed faintly as he told the story of Lua who was overpowered by Leon.
Unlike Ruri, who believes all the facts about her Eden due to her trust in her husband, Leon, Lua still believes that Eden is an agent of other human kingdoms.
Serenian was thinking of showing Lua the true reality and taking her role.
I didn’t worry about the effect. At least, it was because the common reaction of everyone who had visited Eden so far was good in their eyes.
Only the tyrannical demons were the only ones who dared to attack without hesitation even after seeing the power and miracles directly displayed by the sky.
“This is the first time I’ve been forced to believe someone I don’t want to, but I don’t think it will be difficult.”
I already heard about Lua. A human knight about the same age as Serenian, who had just come of age.
I was sure that if it was a heroic being armed with his own uncompromising ideology like Ersilla, if he was a soft criminal who hadn’t gone through all the storms of the world yet, he would be able to break and stain his heart.
“It’s obviously a request of a slightly different kind from the previous requests for divine punishment.”
“This is to make the outside seed who doubts the sky god believe, so please let me know.”
Of course, what is most needed for this plan is solid evidence that no one can doubt. To that end, Serenian, who visited Seonghyeon, politely but cautiously asked if the sky could grant another miracle.
