26. Full Moon Festival (3)

“Stand up.”
Elnor slowly pushed his closed eyes up.
Because one of the humans who surrounded her had said so.
“Follow me. I have a place to go.”
“It’s where you need to go.”
“okay.”
At least I’ll treat you to the next course, so it’s not like you’re moving.
First of all, it was from saying that and deliberately showing the weapons they were holding in a threatening way.
“…”
However, instead of responding immediately, Elnor only slightly furrowed his eyebrows.
“I hope that someday, there will be a human who truly understands me. I wish I had a human who would accept everything I have. When was the last time you had that kind of hope? I don’t even remember now.”
As the low-pitched voice came out like that, the faces of the people around them all frowned.
Even if you look at it, it would be a natural reaction because people with normal skills are surrounding themselves, but they are talking like fat.
“Hope is a dangerous thing, you guys. It makes humans blind. I’ve been fooled a lot too.”
“hey. what now…”
Elnor picked up a nearby wine bottle and gulped down the whole.
Although it was a radical act that was hardly befitting the position of a princess.
There is no strange feeling of incongruity.
It shows that he has been suppressing something for a long time.
“But sometimes there are things they don’t betray.”
“…I told you to stand up.”
One of the men who spoke first strode towards Elnor with a slightly annoyed expression.
It was a clear intention to force her to stand up.
Compared to the giant, who clearly trained in martial arts for a long time, Elnor would appear to be several times more different in his weight class.
next moment.
Elnor grabbed the giant’s arm.
“…!”
Blood spurts out from where it was caught. Muscles rupture and bones break.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Just by allowing contact, while the seriously injured giant’s eyes widened, Elnor grabbed the other’s head and slammed it into the table.
On top of it, the bottle of wine she had just been drinking falls down.
Blood splattered and glass shards scattered in all directions.
“…what!”
While the nearby personnel drew their swords in fright, Elnor chuckled and threw the completely unconscious man moderately.
The sight of such a gigantic man flying as easily as a sheet of paper with just such a motion was almost unrealistic.
“Recently, I’ve been holding back a little bit. There are a lot of eyes around me.”
Her red eyes were shining fiercely.
It was more like a beast than a human.
“Really, it was hard.”
“You must not kill. It’s a top priority for planning. I’ll tolerate a certain amount of injury, so I’ll capture you alive…”
One of the people who drew their weapon muttered that.
A second later, Elnor’s punch threw him into the wall, but he was thrown into the wall.
“Catch me alive. That’s interesting.”
The humans who couldn’t even confirm when she moved took a step back.
It is strength and agility beyond imagination.
“I have no intention of doing that to you guys.”
As Elnor said, the man who had been blown away by him picked up the spilled sword on the floor.
In my ears, I was chewing the cud over several sentences I had heard from Daud earlier.
‘These guys are devil worshipers.’
‘You’ve been having a hard time lately, haven’t you?’
‘I may not know later, but it’s rather worse to endure like that now.’
she chuckled.
In fact, it is dangerous to trust the word devil worshipers without proof. It’s impossible to smell a demon as soon as you encounter it, unless it’s in the notorious Inquisition of the Empire.
However, it was Dowd Campbell who told him that. If you don’t believe the man’s words, what are you believing?
‘There.’
pouring out what has accumulated
He’s a man you can’t hate.
This occasional ‘outpouring’ of madness is one of the solutions that have been passed down in the history of the Tristan family.
I have no idea how the guy knew this.
I don’t know what you mean by ‘I don’t know later’ either.
However.
She agreed that lately suppressing madness had reached a tipping point.
In other words.
“According to Imperial law, a devil worshiper can be summarily executed and reported without any problem. Isn’t it?”
Eyes that were redder than blood flickered. Then, a feeling of life as if the air is frozen settles down throughout the space.
Soon after, everyone in the room felt it.
“…!”
Rumors, they knew.
The best swordsman on the continent. Among them, a princess who has been famous for her exceptional talent since childhood.
I didn’t think it would be easy to deal with from the beginning, but I didn’t even think that it would be impossible to deal with.
Everyone here is a warrior who can have such confidence.
All of them are steel-like talents forged in the melting pot of real combat. The elite of the elite raised by Marquis Riverback with all his abilities.
However.
What is in front of them now.
He wasn’t just a ‘person with excellent swordsmanship’.
All of the human-like senses that were felt until just now are completely erased, and what lies at the base of it is endless ferocity and hostility.
This. This ‘something’ in the form of Princess Tristan.
It’s so black that you can’t even feel that it’s the same person!
“so. I’ll attack you with the determination to kill.”
well, anyway.
It is a gift from that man.
The face is still as expressionless as usual, but if Dawood saw it, he would have thought that Elnor was ‘smiling sincerely’.
Like.
As if hurting someone without taking care of it is genuinely enjoyable.
“That way you can hold out even a little longer.”
next.
The mayhem unfolded.
●
In conclusion, it took 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
It is said that the time it took to reach Elnor’s place was like that.
“…Nonsense…”
If I saw Marquis Riverback muttering like that with a look of bewilderment, I would probably have burst into laughter as usual.
But, anyway, isn’t this a bit harsh?
“…it’s okay?”
When he said that in a hard voice, Elnor pursed his lips and tossed the two bloodied humans away.
It gives me goosebumps to see them dragging it in like trophies.
“Well, it was refreshing. I’ll be fine for the time being.”
“…”
Perhaps Elnor was on the first floor, the entrance to the restaurant, and Marquis Riverback and I were in a special room on the top floor.
By the way, this person is now.
At least dozens to hundreds of people who were filling the gap were cut single-handedly and came up.
An elite force that the Marquis Riverback could boast of being ‘equal to the Knights’, while wearing a single dress.
in just a few minutes.
‘Isn’t this a real monster…?’
I assure you, this is a crazy thing that even a country that has exploded into an EX-level desperate situation can’t do.
The extra range of stats is insane for an EX level, so how can you cover 15 to 10 people? But dozens to hundreds of troops trained to the elite level?
It’s good if you can hold out for a few seconds.
It is said that it is possible to take into account the fact that Marquis Riverback, who had regained some confidence before, suddenly went mental.
The tower he had worked so hard to build was shattered in a matter of minutes by just this one person.
As I lost my words and kept my mouth shut for a while, Elnor’s eyebrows curled as if he had suddenly remembered something.
“Ah, yes.”
Throwing away the two bloodied humans, she came towards me and said calmly.
“Come to think of it, it’s not very good.”
“…Yes?”
“It was hard. I could have been hurt How could you make me do this?”
“…”
“Shouldn’t you be held accountable?”
It is clear that it is a lie that has not even spit on its lips.
He doesn’t have any scratches and looks fine.
Didn’t you have a lot of fun and get rid of all the stress…?
“Of course I liked it, but at this point, this isn’t a date at all, no, that, anyway, isn’t it?”
“…”
“Next time, go out with me one more time. Got it?”
“…is that so?”
It’s not an atmosphere to refuse.
“Well. it should be I will have to take responsibility for other things later.”
What else?
responsible for what
As I sighed at the incomprehensible words, a window suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
＜System Message＞
[ Check the current condition of the target ‘Elnor’. ]
[Current favorability is ‘Dear’ or higher. The unique debuff ‘Madness’ has been improved under your influence. ]
[ Satisfy the conditions for the appearance of the exclusive quest. ]
＜ Exclusive Quest Appearance! ＞
[ ‘Elnor Elinalize La Tristan’ exclusive quest is added to the Gift tab. ]
[ When clearing, a friendship level higher than ‘Dear’ is unlocked. ]
[ Upon clearing, huge benefits are given to the main scenario. ]
[Clearing affects the ending. ]
[The target ‘Gideon Galestord La Tristan’ is interested in you! ]
“…?”
Wait a minute.
what else is this
The dedicated quest is something that didn’t even exist in the main game. Is this my first system?
There are a lot of eye-catching rewards lined up here and there, but the one that stands out the most.
‘Gideon?’
Speaking of Gideon, that’s him.
Archduke Tristan. A key figure in the empire, who is said to be the next most powerful person next to the emperor, and the strongest knight called the one-man army. Elnor’s father.
And the villain who contributed greatly to the fall of Elnor as the final boss.
“…”
At least during the first chapter, I’m not the kind of person who will get a message saying that this side is interested in me.
What is it?
‘…Ah, I don’t know.’
I shook my head and closed the window.
This is something we can look at later.
More important than that is this.
＜System Message＞
[ You have completed the main quest! ]
[ Quest completion time is less than 5 minutes! A record-breaking feat! ]
[The highest level of rewards will be paid! ]
“I… the things I have accomplished…”
A quest completion message flows out with the appearance of Marquis Riverback, who is completely mentally crushed.
“…”
Well, it’s worth it if the tower you’ve been proud to build perfectly for years is destroyed in 5 minutes.
“Give up, Marquis Riverback.”
Elnor continued calmly.
“If you find out that you have ties to the devil worshipers, that’s over for you, too. Considering the social perspective they have, there is no alternative other than summary execution. You’d rather surrender now and face a merciful end.”
“…”
The voice is calm, but the content in it is brutal.
It’s the option of saving lives.
‘If the acquisition event has been destroyed this far, the branch will…’
Perhaps the branch that originally follows here is ‘flight’ after the refusal of acquisition or ‘battle’ from this side.
But right now Elnor has destroyed all enemies, so there’s no need for either side.
“…under.”
Marquis Riverback laughed dejectedly.
“No way, I didn’t know you would be using this.”
I look at Marquis Riverback taking something out of his arms in a state of mental exhaustion.
It’s probably a cursed device that’s being pulled out from there. It allows people to borrow and use corrupted powers, even if only for a short time.
‘What follows after this is…’
The Marquis Riverback, who awakened it, awakens as a Purifier, and after that, it is immediately rushed to the boss battle.
It’s probably this easy, so there’s a high chance that a branch that can finish the boss battle without difficulty will be added…
[ Enter a new branch. ]
[ Branch: Essence appearance ]
[Difficulty increases significantly! ]
[The ending-related item ‘Devil’s Essence’ is additionally provided to the reward. ]
[ The target ‘???’ is more interested in you! ]
“…”
what the fuck
As I was perplexed by the message that appeared before my eyes, Marquis Riverback finally took something out of his arms.
Originally, it would be a cursed device given to devil worshipers.
What he brought out now was ‘something’ that wriggled like the heart of a creature.
but.
In the center of it, as if there was an unknown, endlessly sticky darkness.
As soon as I saw that, a chill ran down my spine.
The feeling that things are going seriously wrong runs through your body.
‘Essence of the devil…,!’
don’t fuck
No, really don’t give a fuck.
That’s definitely not something that can jump out of Chapter 1.
Simply being able to use some of the fallen power of a human being, and becoming a ‘magic person’ after eating that is a completely different problem!
“Elnor, cut off your arm! I won’t eat that!”
“…?”
It was probably the first time he had seen my violent reaction, and Elnor drew his sword while embarrassed. And the sword immediately jumped out towards Marquis Riverback.
“Receive the grace of God.”
The Marquis of Riverback had already shoved the essence into his mouth.
and the next moment.
-!
-!!!!
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole Twilight Eye building.
I was crushed by the pushed darkness.

Ohh, that was unexpected, seems like it will be a proper boss fight after all.
You fool!
