145 – Elves and Dark Elves – 10
Dark Elves.
A fighting race known to be the strongest in the forest.
A race that has specialized combat abilities as a racial characteristic from birth.
But.
‘Doesn’t look that strong than I thought?’
The average level of soldiers is around 25.
Average of the guys wearing shiny armor is around 45.
At least the strong guy is in his early 60s.
‘There must be a reason Claude is number two.’
Weak.
No, it would be more accurate to say that my standards are strange.
Since I only deal with monsters over level 90 every time, I have to go over level 80 to think, ‘Oh, but it’s still a bit useful~’.
Emilia says, based on the Central Continent, if you are level 50 or higher, you are in the top 0.01%.
From that point of view, Dark Elf Knights with an average level of 45 can be considered as quite strong by objective standards.
Of course, it was infinitely lacking by my standards.
“[Dark Veil].”
I entered between the barracks where the Dark Elves gathered while using stealth.
I found out later that the [Dark Curtain] Is one of the top stealth abilities, so it is said to be immune to most detection magic.
In fact, it was said that it was an ability used by an assassin who had a great reputation on the continent in the past.
‘…What are you talking about?’
First of all, the first goal is to find out where the elven scouting party is.
It was because Emilia had asked for it, and she had nothing to do.
In that respect, there is no easier way to obtain information than to eavesdrop on soldiers’ conversations.
“The white guys will come soon. Will it be okay?”
“Don’t worry, the rangers are already setting traps. Above all else, isn’t Cliff-sama here?”
“Right, unless the Elf Queen comes in person, Cliff-sama will take care of it.”
Cliffra.
It seems that the name of the dark elf king is Cliff.
But what I’m curious about is not the name of Daeppang, but the whereabouts of the scout.
“But it looks like some of the white elves have been taken captive?”
“Is that right? From what I saw earlier, it seems that Cliff-sama gave her a bad blow.”
‘…!’
It came out. A conversationalist related to the whereabouts of the Elven Scouts.
“Looks like you’re being taken to the Moonlight Palace?”
“Come to think of it, captive elves are always taken to the palace. What happened?”
“I don’t know, because until now, no white elves have been captured and released.”
A summary of the conversation…
The elven scouts appear to have been captured.
2. And that elven patrol seems to have been taken to a large palace in the distance.
3. There are no pure-blooded elves who enter and leave the palace.
…It seems to be about this.
‘If there are no elves coming out, does that mean they will be killed?’
It can’t be, how much value do prisoners of war have in war?
It’s probably because the prison is nearby.
“Let’s settle down, if you don’t want to be killed by dogs.”
“Yes, yes. See you alive.”
Unfortunately, the conversation between the soldiers seemed to end here.
Still, I knew the important information, so I had no regrets.
“[Psychokinesis].”
Kujik-!
‘If I put it on the ground, I won’t be able to find it.’
After using [Psychokinesis] To make 2 chunks of processed meat (?), They buried it underground to make it invisible.
With time, the blood will naturally flow, but by then the results of the war will already be out.
“I’ll have to go to the nearby palace first.”
-…Hold on for a second, my king.
“…?”
Just as I was about to move to the silver palace the soldiers had just mentioned, Veronica, who had been silent for a long time, sounded a warning.
-I feel an ominous energy near that palace.
“…An ominous aura?”
-This is… The mana of chaos. It’s pretty dark too.
“?!”
I was stunned by Veronica’s shocking words that I heard in an instant.
What? Chaos Mana? Why is that here?
“Then isn’t it dangerous?”
-It’s dangerous, but am I not by the king’s side?
“Oh! So f*cking trustworthy! But what if I get dragged to the Underworld like last time?”
-Then the king should take care of it, right?
“……”
– This is a joke. Don’t worry too much, as those tricks don’t work anymore.
I made a suspicious expression for a moment, but since Veronica was so confident, I decided to believe it.
Of course, there was also confidence in my grown-up self in the background of that belief, but I decided not to mention it.
“But from what the soldiers say, it looks like Dark Elves are lurking. Shouldn’t I tell Emilia?”
-I’ll take care of it, will you take the saintess with you?
“That’s right.”
I was a little worried about the vanguard who would follow me, but including Emilia, the saintess, and her escort knights were quite strong in their own way. Won’t get beaten easily.
So I decided to just stop caring and go wild.
If there were no elven captives in that palace, they would have implanted the highest level wind attribute magic right now.
“It’s quite big, of course, compared to the palace, but it’s far short of it.”
As I approached the palace, the silver palace shone in the sunlight and boasted its majesty.
It was filthy big, but compared to the royal palace where several palaces are gathered, it was on a much smaller level.
“…The mana of chaos is certain.”
And as the distance from the palace narrowed, I also felt the ominous aura unique to the mana of chaos.
It wasn’t as powerful as Beragee, but it had a sufficiently high concentration of chaotic mana.
“I have to be careful.”
-I agree.
Surereung…
Thanks to the mana of chaos, I quietly took out the sword of amplification from my waist while maintaining a high level of vigilance.
If the opponent secretly surprises you, it’s because swordsmanship was the right choice rather than magic. If you come to play first, I will pierce your heart with this sword.
From noble mtl dot com
“…What do you mean by this?”
I came here with the feeling of having a picnic, but to feel the mana of chaos, which also meant that I could no longer comfortably face it.
She had never had a good relationship with those who used Chaos Mana.
‘Do you want to go in?’
The trouble wasn’t too long.
If I were alone, I would have run the 360 series, but now Veronica remains in my shadow.
Should I say that there is a sense of security, like having car insurance in a slightly modern society? Well, it feels the same anyway.
Kikkik…
Carefully entered the palace through the back door.
The front door is so large that even if you try to open it even a little, the sound will spread all over the place, so we decided to enter through the back door.
‘…What is so dark?’
Inside the silver palace, it was so dark that it was not even daytime. Basically, the palace is made of a windowless structure, but there is no lantern, so it was as if you were in a dark dungeon.
If I hadn’t had the [Dark Resistance LV 3] Ability, I wouldn’t have been able to see an inch ahead.
[You have acquired Darkness Resistance LV 4.]
‘Hmm?’
In the meantime, the [Dark Resistance] Level rose. It’s been a while since I’ve seen my general ability level go up, so I’m quite glad.
‘Ohh..’
Is it because of [Dark Resistance LV 4]? Now, even in pitch darkness, the colors of objects were faintly visible.
Before that, no matter how much [Dark Resistance] You had, you couldn’t tell the color apart, but now you can tell the color if you look carefully.
Maybe that’s why I was able to realize that there was something strange inside the Silver Palace.
“…What is this crazy thing?”
-……This is exhaustion.
Bloom.
In every nook and cranny of the corridors of the palace, red blood was solidified, creating a very eerie atmosphere.
I definitely couldn’t smell the scent of blood, but it seems that some kind of magic was used to make the smell go away.
-It must have been quite a while. It’s been quite a while since the blood hardened.
“…Whose blood is it?”
-You should check it out. If it was the king’s blood magic, it would be possible.
“Blood magic?”
Come to think of it, I had a magic related to blood.
Aka blood magic.
I have never used it because I have nothing to write about, but is this an opportunity?
– Among the blood magic, there is a magic that checks the race by examining the blood. There is also a magic to find out where the owner of the blood is.
I certainly have such a memory in my brain.
Basically, the information about blood magic was stored in my memory because the magic obtained through the system naturally came into my head at the time I learned it.
Among them, there were definitely some magics that could find out the opponent’s information through blood.
One of them is…
“The source of blood.”
The source of blood.
It is a simple magic that literally reveals the source of blood.
Auxiliary magic that tells whether the owner of the blood is a human, elf, or dwarf through color.
If it’s white, it’s a human, if it’s green, it’s an elf. Dark elves are dark green.
The color that appeared through the [Source of blood] That was used like that is…
“Green.”
Elf.
If it’s natural, it’s a natural result. Since the elves were being held captive, even if blood was shed, the elves would shed it.
The important thing is from this point onwards.
“A bloody chase.”
Blood Chase is a high-level magic of the source of blood, and it is an advanced magic that tells where the owner of the blood is.
It took quite a long time for the blood to harden, but if the owner who shed the blood is still alive, it will mark it on its own.
“…Is out.”
And the results were dramatic.
A solid red line appeared in front of my eyes and started pointing somewhere.
This also meant that the elf who had shed blood was alive.
-Oh….You seem to have a pretty good aptitude.
“… Aptitude?”
-Yes, blood magic basically depends on your talent. In fact, even if other races other than vampires learned blood magic, they couldn’t use even 30% of the total magic.
What the f*ck was that? Somehow, there was almost no attack magic.
-Basically, the magic created for vampires is blood magic.
“…But why can’t you use Veronica?”
-…You don’t have to know.
What is fresh?
Perhaps Veronica just didn’t learn blood magic. Just because she’s a vampire doesn’t mean she has blood magic, she said the other day.
-Shouldn’t we hurry and follow the trail of magic?
“I will, anyway.”

“A raid! Prepare for battle, everyone!”
Kim Jong-yeon, a Korean and an ordinary college student until a few months ago, was experiencing confusion.
Why did he participate in this war and why did the man he just saw resemble his friend Gaon?
However, I recalled the survival method I had learned over the past two months and quickly drew my sword.
Kim Jong-yeon’s ability was focused on the magic swordsman, that is, the ability to use magic and swords.
If it was another character, it would have been considered mediocre, but Kim Jong-yeon used twice as many points as other people and ordinary people to adapt both magic and swordsmanship to suit the current level.
Kim Jong-yeon’s level is 44.
It was the highest level of people in the other world except for Gaon, and it was a promising player that was intensively supported by the Holy Nation.
“Thunderbolt!”
Pajijijik-!
Kim Jong-yeon hit all the arrows flying toward him with brain-attribute magic.
Kim Jong-yeon is a magic swordsman specialized in brain and light attributes. He uses brain attributes to attack and light attributes to assist in combat.
Maybe it’s because of the attributes that go well with the characteristics of a magic swordsman, Kim Jong-yeon is strong enough to face even a 3rd job former knight who has passed the 50th level, even though he is currently level 44.
“Blessings of the sun!”
Kim Jong-yeon, who strengthened his body using light-attribute magic, clashed with the Dark Elves shooting arrows from a distance.
There was no more hesitation in his head as he started the battle.
Unbeknownst to Kim Jong-yeon himself, he was getting used to the bloody battle with the other world.
