Chapter 128 – Forest Keeper
pop.
thoughts break
thoughts and notions. There is no flow of thought.
Wave window—!
The overlapping barriers were shattered.
A defensive barrier created by drawing out the power of Instiz.
Even though I was in a hurry, I couldn’t complete the ceremony properly.
However, the layer upon layer of barriers had a strength that could not be easily broken through.
But now, it was nothing more than a glass curtain.
Dyson slowly looked back.
The landscape of a world divided by diagonal lines.
A gigantic scar was carved into the scenery of all the world that the eye could capture.
And that was where Dyson had just been.
Dyson wondered if this was really human power.
And I wondered if it was true that it was unfolded with a crude weapon called a ‘sword’.
If that was correct, that could no longer be called swordsmanship.
Violent, ruthless, and widespread violence.
How can you call that terrible power that sweeps away space itself as a swordsmanship?
That just didn’t make sense enough to remind Dyson of the idea of death.
So Dyson couldn’t believe what had just happened.
The moment when time and time were divided.
If only the layered barriers of defense hadn’t bought a moment of time.
That’s why, if it hadn’t been for the space jump magic, Blink, he hadn’t escaped.
If the Instiz’s power hadn’t completed the two incomplete magic spells.
If even one of these things is out of order.
Dyson would not be able to stand still like this.
Are you all right?
Dyson burst into laughter at the sudden thought.
Because the word ‘fine’ was quite funny.
in the moment of time.
Pooh!
Even with the help of Instiz, I couldn’t avoid it properly.
Red blood spurted all over Dyson’s body.
Part of his right shoulder had been cut off, and red blood was leaking out.
Dyson’s face contorted as a terrifying pain surged through him.
Dyson’s gaze moved slowly forward.
There stood a blond human, Xian, with a pitch-black sword hanging down.
That moment.
“Cheuk…!”
Xian’s body was greatly bent, and blood poured out from the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, Xian’s body staggered and tilted.
Xian stuck his sword into the ground and withstood the fall.
A shivering, trembling body.
My mind was shaken by the terrible agony.
Right before Xian casts the Thousand Kills.
And right before Dyson unleashes his Blink magic.
Xian was able to cut off part of Dyson’s right shoulder.
Dyson, too, did not stand still.
Dyson instantly exploded Instiz’s magical power.
Xian was caught up in the torrent of exploding magical power.
Instiz’s magical power imbued with Elodie’s power.
It wasn’t something a human could do.
On the outside, Xian didn’t show any major scars.
But inside, it was twisted and twisted.
Dyson looked at Xian quietly.
In fact, originally, I couldn’t even stand like that.
The power that dwells in Instiz is the power of Elodie.
Absolute and transcendent power.
Not a mere human, no, no being here could withstand that power.
It just had to be torn apart.
“Cool…!”
It makes no sense to even stand there like that.
There were only two cases where that was possible.
Xian’s power must surpass Elodie’s.
But that was impossible and neither was it.
The power Xian showed earlier was astonishing, but not to the extent of beating Elodie.
Then, there is only one remaining possibility.
It means that Xian’s level of power surpassed Elodie’s.
‘does not make sense.’
Dyson shook his head firmly.
Elodie’s power in Instiz is not just power.
Absolute and transcendent, the power of a great mage that has reached the state of exceed.
You said you surpassed that level of power?
Does that mean that insignificant human being has seen the realm beyond the Exceed?
The level of acid is a legendary level that only 6 people have reached in the long history of the continent.
But what about beyond that?
That may or may not be the case.
So it’s an illusion.
Dyson took his eyes off Xian.
and behind Xi’an.
I looked at the gathered crowd of people.
exactly the front one.
I looked at Aslandis, a man with dark black hair.
Gaze and gaze meet once again.
And this time, I heard Dyson’s voice, not magical power.
“what’s the reason. father.”
Dyson spoke slowly.
“We, Dark Elves, have always been rejected. for having black hair. Because of the use of dark mana. And for the reason that he is possessed by madness.”
Dyson calmly turned his head and took another look around.
A gathering of human armies.
Dyson continued with a low growl.
“Because of such a ridiculous misunderstanding, we have been rejected by the world.”
Aslandis stared at Dyson.
Dyson’s two red eyes.
Dark red magic that blooms through Dyson’s whole body.
Aslandis spoke slowly.
“Now… can you say it’s a misunderstanding by looking at your appearance?”
“You speak the same way as humans. father.”
Dyson’s mouth twisted grotesquely.
Then, Dyson’s gaze turned to Sera behind Aslandis.
Sera was looking at Dyson with trembling eyes.
Sera who has the ability to penetrate the soul.
It was because in Sarah’s eyes, it was because she could see how terrible Dyson’s madness was.
Dyson looked at Sera and slowly turned his head.
“Your father doesn’t know. How much pain and suffering has been accompanied by the rejection and persecution we have received. As a forest keeper, you know your father better than anyone else.”
Dyson’s next words.
“One day I saw a human noble holding an elf child between her legs and giggling. The child struggled and screamed.”
sorry. please forgive me.
please don’t do that
“But I liked being a human aristocrat. If you have a taste for rebellion. In the end, the child suffered an indescribable terrible thing.”
And so.
“Dead. I couldn’t stand it because I was too young. But do you know what the human said when he saw that scene?”
These are evil beings.
For evil beings, this is the treatment they deserve.
“I suddenly had a question.”
The madness bursting out of Dyson’s whole body.
“Who the hell? Is it evil?”
Dyson blinked and continued.
“Unfortunately, I haven’t heard back. When I wanted to ask, he was already speechless.”
People with severed heads have forgotten that they cannot speak.
Dyson murmured his last words.
Then Dyson looked around again and looked around.
numerous troops.
Namely, humans.
“It is none other than humans who made me this way.”
Dyson’s whole body was filled with fierce anger.
“Not all people in the world are like that. Don’t judge all by looking at one.”
“Isn’t that the same for Dark Elves? Not all Dark Elves in the world succumb to madness. However, humans collectively called us beings. Humans are like that, but is there any law against us?”
“Don’t pretend to be an unconditional victim. You say that we Dark Elves are innocent.”
Aslandis looked at Dyson and continued.
“It is not that we, Dark Elves, did not inflict irreparable pain and suffering on innocent humans. More than anything, your way now is wrong.”
“Then what should I do?”
Dyson continued.
“Should we wait patiently for humans to understand us? Whether my own people die or suffer mischief. Should I just sit and wait?”
Dyson slowly reached out his hand toward Aslandis.
“father. Even now, it’s not too late. Come with me. So, we are paying back to humans the sorrow we have received so far. To create a world for us dark elves.”
Aslandis did not answer.
It was just a substitute for that answer by raising mana with the whole body.
Dyson spat out the words as if he was sorry.
“Sure… would you like to?”
“I am the forest keeper of the Dark Elves.”
“Are you saying that the Dark Elf Forest Keeper is going to kill the Dark Elves?”
Aslandis nodded and said.
“Forest Keeper is not just a guardian of the Dark Elves.”
The Dark Elves have lived under persecution and oppression for a long time.
They have lived their lives ostracized by the world.
It must be because he was stained with madness to deal with the mana of darkness.
And all of that was from a misunderstanding, but in reality it wasn’t just a misunderstanding.
Dyson now, as well as in previous years.
It was not that there were no Dark Elves who were swallowed up by the mana of darkness and stained with madness.
And they went out into the world and slaughtered innocent humans.
Only the method and degree are different.
Comparing only the number of lives taken, the Dark Elves’ sins could be said to be greater.
More than the number of humans killed and eliminated Dark Elves.
The number of humans slaughtered by the Dark Elves was overwhelmingly high.
Dark elves live with their backs to the world.
It wasn’t just because they were rejected.
And whenever that happens.
Aslandis, the Forest Keeper had to punish them.
that’s the forest keeper.
That was the fate that the Dark Elf Forest Keeper had to bear.
As a result, Aslandis had no choice but to take one life.
It was so cruel, so harsh.
It was a cruel reality that would never happen again in the world.
“So… did you kill your mother?”
Because that was the fate he had to bear as a forest keeper.
“Eve is…”
Aslandis’ expression darkened.
She is the mother of Dyson and Sera.
Eve, the woman that Aslandis loved all his life.
However, Eve could not overcome the mana of darkness and was eventually swallowed up in madness.
No. He seemed to deny that there was no way.
In the end, Aslandis said after witnessing a scene.
Sarah, who was young and unable to speak yet.
Strangle Sera and die! The image of Eve who had shouted,
“Eve is a sin I will carry with me for the rest of my life.”
Aslandis hadn’t forgotten even this moment.
“After all, my father is no different from a human.”
Dyson withdrew his outstretched hand.
Then he looked at Sera behind Aslandis.
Sarah’s eyes were trembling.
Aslandis and Dyson’s conversation just now.
With that, the truth that Aslandis killed his mother, Eve.
Sarah seemed to have heard the truth for the first time.
Sera looked at Aslandis and Dyson with a shocked face.
But that’s for a while.
Soon Sarah said with determination.
“Sera doesn’t know complicated things. But there must be a reason why my dad did that. Because Dad is the strongest and most upright person Sarah has ever seen.”
Sera who sees through the souls of beings.
“Now it’s the second time.”
Sarah’s gaze briefly moved to Xian, then back to Dyson.
“Sera, too, hates people being sad.”
“okay. You must be like that after all.”
Dyson’s gaze dropped.
“It ended up like this.”
but.
“If that’s what you have to do… gladly.”
At the same time, Dyson stretched out the Instiz forward.
Quaaa!
The power and presence that bursts out weighs down the entire space.
The soaring spirit peeks at the arrogant place.
Before long, Dyson’s gaze stopped in one place.
And again.
Dyson swung the outstretched Instiz.
Kiyiying!!
Dark red magical madness poured out from Instiz.
It exploded in all directions and opened up a magical world that did not allow even a gap.
Woowoung .. !!
With that, the space behind Dyson began to distort.
One, two… Dozens.
Ooh, ooh ooh…!
Whoops…!
Distortions in space continued to appear, filling the wilderness in an instant to an incalculable number.
“Massive Gate!”
“No, nonsense! How could this many gates…!”
“Is this… is this possible? No, this level of magical power is possible?”
Arcanic magic corps, including Panat.
Those with knowledge of magic shouted in astonishment.
and.
Kyaharuk! kyahak!
Kyaaa!
A distorted scream was heard from inside the countless gates.
monster or monster.
The existence of negativity that exists in the abyss.
However, what appeared at the gate were humans.
A face tinged with a flash of red light and madness.
Northern barbarians.
They made their appearance by squeezing through the rolling gates.
Through the gaps, the figures of the Dark Elves were also visible.
And they, too, were tinged with madness without fail.
from end to end of sight.
Barbarians filled the entire wilderness.
Estimated tens of thousands of them.
I thought I had driven out all the barbarians across the north.
I wondered where that many came from.
Maybe it stopped at that level because I drove it out again.
Even the power of madness that engulfed them.
It allowed them to go beyond their bar capabilities.
They are not mere savages.
Even if they were called tens of thousands of knights, they were not lacking at all.
And the wizard who made this possible, Dyson.
Dyson’s terrible power began to feel desperately on his skin.
For an instant, Dyson’s body trembled.
“Cool…!”
And then, he vomited blood.
It was that he could not withstand the recoil that he used the power of the Instiz beyond his capabilities.
“Khahahahaha…!”
Even so, he eventually surpassed his capabilities and used the power of Instiz.
“Nonsense···.”
“This, this…”
Dark despair fell on people’s faces.
It’s not something you can do, it’s not something you can afford.
Dyson alone couldn’t do anything.
Aslandis, Osli, Panat and Cyan.
Dark Elf Keepers, Battenberg Troops, Arcanic Magic Troops, Ruben’s Knights.
Even if all these people rushed, it was all about gaining a slight advantage.
But now…
Kyaharuk! kyahak!
Kyaaa!
The madness of the savages hangs in all directions.
At the same time, a deep, deep despair descended.
“This, this can’t be…”
“This is… this is…”
People’s will to fight is broken.
The despair of not being able to win burrows deep.
And between such deep despair.
Turbuck.
someone took a step
#
staggering step.
However, Xian did not stop taking steps.
I cleared the blinding madness and dug in between the blooming despair.
clap.
Twenty knights followed behind Xian.
Ruben’s knights clad in jet-black armor.
A thick, thick darkness broke out in all directions.
Soon, Xian stretched out his left hand to the side.
“Kendrick.”
And the spitting murmur.
In an instant, a black light bursts from Xian’s wrist, and pitch-black darkness rushes in.
A jet-black fog blooms around.
Soon, a being rose from the pitch-black fog.
A being tainted with thick darkness.
Death Knight, Death Knight.
– Please, my lord.
said Kendrick, his dark blue eyes flashing.
“Uh, what’s that…!”
“Death Knight?”
I heard people’s voices of surprise at Kendrick’s appearance.
Dyson also raised his eyes and looked at Kendrick.
It must have been a measure of Kendrick’s level.
Xian paused for a moment.
Then, he slowly raised his gaze and looked right in front of his eyes.
Tens of thousands of barbarians.
Each one was bursting with madness, emitting a red glow.
Xian took in the scenery at a glance and said.
“Kill all those who are stained with madness.”
– John’s name.
Kendrick lowers his head and steps back.
Eventually, Kendrick drew his sword,
All 20 knights of Ruben drew their swords.
Magi swaying with him.
however.
Kyaharuk! kyahak!
Kyaaa!
This time, I couldn’t get rid of the madness that hung over me.
The Knights of Ruben were not the Knights of the Black Lion.
The Black Lion Knights, all of whom are masters.
Compared to them, the Knights of Ruben are infinitely lacking.
but.
Xian took out his smart phone from his bosom.
Then, he immediately checked the accumulated reputation points.
[Current Prestige Points] – 32,000 P.
32,000 points.
It was a reputation point that Kendrick and Ruben’s knights had accumulated while wandering all over the North.
A point worth as much as 3.2 million gold in gold value.
Points that can upgrade the Arnaise perk 3 times.
But Xian did not stop there.
2 million gold remaining after upgrading Elodie’s Lab Lv.2.
Xian converted all of them into reputation points.
[Current Prestige Points] – 52,000 P.
A total of 52,000 points were accumulated.
Xian went straight into the fame store.
【Arnaise’s Blessing】
③【＜Muriel’s Prayer＞: Blessings of eternal glory to you.】
Xian poured 50,000 points into strengthening ＜Muriel’s Prayer＞ without hesitation.
『Muriel’s Blessing』
[Enhancing effect 1] (+5) – For 1 minute, all physical abilities of the achievement holder are increased by +7,000%!
[Enhancing Effect 2] (+5) – Increases the physical abilities of all allies within a 100m radius by +450% for 10 minutes!
《[Buff 1] and [Buff 2] cannot be used at the same time!》』
.
.
《Do you want to use Muriel’s blessing?》
Xian pressed the Y button on the screen of the blinking notification window.
And this time, I pressed [Effect 2] instead of [Effect 1].
Tring!
《For 10 minutes, within a designated radius of 100 meters, the physical abilities of all allies increase +450% for 10 minutes!》
Smartphone notification sound
At the same time, Xian and Kendrick.
And from the Knights of Ruben, a deep and thick darkness spread.
“This, this…!”
“No, that’s ridiculous…!”
People’s astonished eyes turn to the Knights of Xian and Ruben.
Dyson’s eyes also stand out and open wide.
In the face of tens of thousands of barbarians, the jet-black knights did not back down.
Hwareuk.
For an instant, black eyes flashed.
aaa!!!!
the evil spirit
Covered all sides and exploded.
