135. contemplate the fourth wall
The next day, after all preparations were complete, I boarded the portal to the land of the Blue Wind Elves.
“Nothing has changed here.”
I remember when I first came. When I was still a beginner, struggling with the beauty of nature shown by Seion, the majesty of the Great Forest towering high enough to pierce the sky left a great impression on me. But now that I’ve accumulated enough experience, I’m not very impressed. whatever… A big tree is just a big tree. Hmmmm… … . Besides, I have more important things to do now.
How far did you walk from the portal to the place where the blue wind elves live?
Hey profit!
shhh!
Fuck! Perpuck!
Two arrows flew in front of my feet and pierced them. If you’re new to it, you might be taken aback, but I wasn’t too surprised. It’s kind of like a welcome greeting.
“They are still like this.”
You can just come and ask what kind of traditional national rules it is, so I always shoot the bow first like this. Because it won’t fit.
When I looked up and saw where the arrows had come from, it wasn’t long before the elves came crashing down with an audible sound. But what is so much?
“The real Kei is here!”
“Kay!”
“uh… hi.”
“Kyaaaa! It’s Kay!”
The girls and women of elves with flowing blue hair rushed in.
I can’t remember all the names, but the face is familiar. In the past, with the nickname ‘Elf’s Nightmare’, which wasn’t even funny, when I fought with the guys from Beso Kingdom, when I invaded from the China Empire, and when I came to Podina as a reinforcement, I got used to it.
“Why are you all gathered here?”
“Karen sent a messenger. Kei-sama is coming to visit!”
“Aha.”
I thought it was a secret move, but it seems that information about me has been known to Podina. Since Karen, a Ranger Strider, has a connection with the Blue Wind Elves, she must have informed her first.
“Kay! Did you miss us?”
“I was so bored after Kay went!”
“Kay! Kay! Did you miss us a lot?”
“Kyaaaa!”
When we first met in the past, we were wary of that, but now we stick to each other too much.
“Kay!”
And another voice calling me anxiously.
Her name is Rariel. A light-year elf who hated me for killing the man when I saved him from being stabbed in the back of the head by a human man. The funny thing is that Misery confessed that she likes me while chasing me like chewing gum. But what I can’t hate is that the heart was all sincere.
“Um… hi.”
“I missed you!”
First of all, you have to roughly match the rhythm.
* * *
“I see.”
“Yes Yes. It’s reprehensible, but it’s the decision of the elders.”
While being guided by the elves, I was able to hear about what had happened to the Blue Wind Elves, but the biggest thing was that the Beso Kingdom and the Blue Wind Elves started interacting. If you look at the kkoraji that was done before, it seems that one side will make a decision that will be destroyed, but somehow it seems that they have been reconciled.
However, if you listen to the inside story, you can understand that the kingdom of Beso admitted all its mistakes and came in with its head completely bowed. What happened was that the emperor’s guild completely collapsed, and even the king, who had their support on his back, became a scarecrow. In addition, the daughter of an elven elder and the prince, who had been the cause of the war in the past, thumped and violated the speed, but the prince As the king ascended, the elder’s daughter became the queen.
Crucially, numerous people (Elf Chewduk) who insisted on (wanted) peace (romance) with the elves led the peace talks with great unity that transcended the guilds they belonged to.
Currently, the Kingdom of Beso and the Blue Wind Elves have begun proper exchanges… … . Well, it’s not a bad story for the Blue Wind Elves. Because I thought it was not very desirable to stick to a closed position. If it’s a small problem, no matter how the country decides, it’s that these elf girls of the users don’t seem to like the human men of Beso Kingdom very much.
“I absolutely hate the elders’ decision or whatever.”
“right. right. If you think about what you’ve been doing while being an elf hunter, you should never let them set foot in the forest.”
“Did someone ask you to sell underwear?”
“Oh? to you too He just asked me if there was a quest to give me some kind of underwear.”
“These are really creepy things.”
“I want you to expel them from the village as soon as possible.”
“that’s right.”
From the standpoint of being a human male, I want to give a little support, but when I listen to what he does, he looks cheap even if he is criticized. No, they come into an alternative game and aim for NPC underwear. After talking with the elves, I entered the village where Allegro lived.
Pyorororong.
The spirits greeted me first. The wind spirits tangle their hair and run away laughing, while the light spirits circle around me saying they are happy.
squirm! Kiruk!
Listening to the laughter of the spirits, I looked up and saw houses built on the branches of a huge tree and bridges connecting them. I headed to Allegro’s house at the top of the village.
kiik-
When I open the wooden door and enter, refreshing mana surrounds me.
As I was enjoying the mana that greeted me as if I was used to it, Allegro, who was sitting upright in the air, looked at me with half-open eyes.
“Did you come?”
“Yes.”
I politely bowed my head to him.
It might sound funny when I say that to an NPC in the game, but he was a teacher I truly admired and followed. It wasn’t just that the sword was fast or strong. It’s not like useless herb food that Chinese kids use. The sword moves naturally as if it were a part of nature. It wasn’t even fast, but as I followed the sword, before I knew it, his sword was hanging over my neck.
“Hoo… … .”
Allegro looked up and down me, and a smile caught on his eyes and lips.
“He’s gotten stronger.”
“Well. Yes. It has become much stronger.”
I’m not the one who was beaten by him before. Allegro pouted at my answer.
“Tskz, at times like this, I’m not being humble. Who wants to be a teacher… … . Tskz… … .”
“The only person I can call my teacher is Allegro.”
“Put.”
When I answered with a shrug, Allegro burst into laughter, then cleared his face and said in a stern voice.
“Although I taught, I never considered you a disciple.”
“I said I was a master, but I never said I was a master.”
“It seems that only your speaking skills have improved.”
“Because he told me not to go anywhere and lose anything. Someone who can be called a teacher… … .”
“Put… Hmmmm… … .”
Allegro calmed the laughter that was about to leak out again and nodded.
“Stop making hoarse noises, what are you doing here?”
“Because of this.”
I took out a small piece of stone that emits a mysterious purple light from my inventory and held it out to Allegro. And the moment he saw the piece of stone, Allegro’s eyes widened to the point where they couldn’t get any bigger.
“This, this… … !”

[All preparations to obtain the final skill of the Destructive Sword, ‘Aura Blade’, have been completed.]
Papa pat!
With the sound of the alarm, the Philosopher’s Stone in my hand was sucked into Allegro’s hand.
And I said to Allegro, who was staring blankly at the Philosopher’s Stone.
“Please teach me the final secret of the Destructive Sword.”
* * *
“Do you know what this Philosopher’s Stone is?”
“We don’t know anything other than that it is related to causality.”
Allegro nodded slowly at my answer.
“okay. This Philosopher’s Stone is an object that allows absolutes who can no longer intervene in the causality of this world to intervene, even temporarily, by giving up all their karma.”
Tarak.
Allegro landed on the floor, walked slowly, opened the door, and stared blankly out.
It was a landscape he could have seen for hundreds of years, but Allegro’s eyes were shaking more than ever. As if the leaves of an old tree that has passed thousands of years are falling in abundance.
“In the past, I gave up everything as an elf to reach the tip of the sword. love too… Hate too… Joy too… Pain too… … . All abandoned. No, I thought it was abandoned.”
Weiying-
A long blue aura stretched out from his hand.
‘Aura Blade.’
An ultimate skill that only those who have reached the end of the swordsman can acquire.
But what I’m looking at now is an aura blade, not an aura blade.
Weee-
The Aura Blade gradually grew larger and began to envelop Allegro. And the aura blades surrounding him begin to come together again.
Papapat! Papa papapat!
Blue lightning flashed in Allegro’s hand, and at some point it began to rotate. It sucked mana from the surroundings relentlessly and finally turned into a perfect sword.
“I wanted the kind of power that could cut down even a god. Something that elves, a race of harmony who love nature, shouldn’t have… … .”
Papa papapat!
“Empty and empty, in that word that you can get the world when you throw away everything. I was crazy. If you knew the true meaning of throwing away. I would never have chosen.”
Suaaang!
“This is the last I got.”
Allegro, sword in hand, turned to me. A ruthless and intense energy wave that I couldn’t even imagine from him before beats all of me. My body is shaking and my head is dizzy just by standing face to face. is this really a game? Or is it the prayer of the absolute who saw the true end in the game?
Everything about him oppresses me.
“Um… … .”
everything shakes The head bends spontaneously and the knee bends.
now i get it The identity of the sense of incongruity when first meeting Allegro… … .

Just as a person living in a low place can see the surroundings at eye level, the expansiveness of Allegro came into view only when he stood at a certain level. Previously he was really looking after me.
I had been sword to sword for almost a month, but in fact, if he had made up his mind, I wouldn’t have been able to handle even his single sword.
I didn’t know before. But now I think I know something.
Allegro… It’s not like a sword master. He is a true absolute being who stands far above him.
And that’s what he’s saying to me.
“What you’re trying to acquire isn’t just game skills. K.”
“to… Yes?”
