episode_0182

Salamander, the spirit of flame, lets out a sharp cry and ignites flames.

Salamander was trying its best to protect the summoner who had called it, but no matter how much one calls a spirit a miracle of the world, it was meaningless in the face of overwhelming numbers and violence.

“Kyaat!”

In the end, she allowed the enemy’s attack, and the elf with water-colored hair collapsed.

And because of that attack, the connection with the summoned Salamander was severed, and the spirit disappeared, engulfed in flames.

“Haa…, haa….”

“Let’s end it now, Tanaka.”

“That’s right. Don’t resist any longer and follow his words.”

Dark elves approached the elf who was trembling and barely getting up, having lost even the strength to resist.

“Elves…, we…, have the mission to protect the World Tree…, and harmonize the world!…. She will only bring about the destruction of the world!”

“No. He only wants to purify this defiled world.”

The water-colored elf pleaded several times, but of course, it did not reach the dark elves.

In the end, she blamed only her own powerlessness and bit her lip.

“First, we need to knock her unconscious since she’s resisting so much.”

“Don’t worry, Tanaka. When you wake up after a short sleep, a new world will unfold.”

“Yes, a world just for elves….”

Ping

At that moment, a faint sound was heard.

A very small, faint sound that you would miss if you didn’t listen carefully. As the water-colored elf looked up at the sound of something very thin cutting through the wind and flying, she saw a dark elf with a thin needle stuck in his neck.

“Huh?…. What’s this?……. Ah….”

The dark elf with the needle in his neck was flustered, and then collapsed.

Seeing this, the other elves hurriedly grabbed their weapons and shouted.

“An, an enemy!!”

“Everyone be careful!!”

“It’s already too late.”

A woman’s voice is heard from the sky.

When the dark elves quickly look up at the voice, they see a woman falling from the sky.

“Extreme Sword”

The woman, falling with a sword, manages to get into position in the air and draws out a surging blue aura.

“First Fang.”

Kwaaaaaang!!!

An immense power that one would not think came from a sword.

The dark elves hurriedly retreated from the blow, and the woman positioned herself between Tanaka and the dark elves.

“Are you alright?”

“Hu, human?….”

“That’s right. Half human.”

“Half?…. Then a beastman?….”

The woman nodded instead of answering, then turned her gaze towards the dark elves.

“First, I don’t think it will work, but I’ll say it in advance anyway. Throw away your weapons and surrender.”

“Nonsense!”

“How dare a human be so presumptuous!….”

“What are you going to do by yourself!”

The woman scratched her cheek at the dark elves’ rejection.

As if she had already expected their rejection, she nodded and said.

“Then I’ll correct a few facts. First, I am more than enough for you.”

“?”

“What nonsense….”

The dark elves frown, angered by the remark that ignored them.

But the black-haired woman continued to speak, regardless.

“Secondly, I’m not alone.”

Ping ping ping

Once again, the sound of something cutting through the wind.

And it was accurately embedded in the necks of the dark elves.

“Ugh!”

“Wh, what is this?!….”

“It seems that if I fought you, you might get seriously hurt.”

All the elves there fainted.

As the water-colored elf blankly watched the situation that seemed like magic, the woman turned her body and met the elf’s gaze.

“Are you alright?”

“Ye, yes. Tha, thank you.”

“What. It’s only natural to help those in need. Seolrin, I think it’s okay for you to come out now.”

At the woman’s words, a woman with green hair appeared, revealing her presence.

Tanaka thought her outfit was quite revealing, but she couldn’t say anything right now.

She was able to be safe thanks to them.

“Then we should ask Lady Levia to remove the mark. Lady Levia~! This place is cleaned up, so come here~!”

“?!”

Soon, one human girl with dark skin like the dark elves, and a white-haired woman with a very different feeling from humans came here.

“Wa, wait a minute…. What did you just say? Did you say you can remove the mark?!”

“Yes. Lady Levia can remove the mark of .”

“!!”

Tanaka was startled and looked at Levia at the story that she could erase the mark of that she thought could not be erased.

Levia, the woman with bronze skin, approached the fainted dark elves and began to pray with her hands together.

Then, a brilliant white light flickered and enveloped the elves.

The light, which gently enveloped them, eventually burned away the mark of .

“Ah!….”

Then the skin of the dark elf turned white.

“Re, really…. I’m back….”

“Lady Levia, are you alright?”

“Yes. I think I’m okay with this many people.”

“That’s a relief. If there’s any problem, let me know in advance.”

After the situation was resolved, they moved to prevent further pursuit by the dark elves.

“First, what is your name, miss?”

“My name is Tanaka Eruin. I was able to be safe thanks to you. Thank you.”

“I said it before, but it’s okay. First, let me introduce ourselves. My name is Baekryeon. And this is Seolrin. She was the one who subdued the elves earlier.”

“….”

Seolrin nodded instead of answering.

“And this is Lady Levia.”

“Ah, hello. My name is Levia. If you have any injuries left, please show them to me. I can heal them.”

“It’s, it’s okay. Thank you for saving our fellow countrymen.”

“Ah, it’s nothing. This is all I can do….”

Baekryeon chuckled, watching Levia and Tanaka bowing their heads and speaking, and clapped her hands lightly.

“Okay, okay, that’s enough greeting. As far as we know, the elves have all been brainwashed by ? Are there still elves left who haven’t been brainwashed like you?”

“…No. I’m the only one.”

“Hmm…. Is that so?”

Baekryeon let out a faint groan as she saw Tanaka’s expression darkening rapidly and changed the subject.

“Anyway, don’t worry. Everyone will come back if we defeat . Sir went to defeat , so it will be settled soon.”

“…Pardon? What did you just say?”

“Hmm?…. Sir went to the World Tree to defeat ?….”

Tanaka’s face turned pale at Baekryeon’s words.

“Oh, no!!….”

“?”

“…You know something?”

Seolrin, who had been silently watching the situation, narrowed her eyes and looked at Tanaka.

Tanaka flinched for a moment at the gaze of the snake as if aiming for prey, but soon regained her mind and continued.

“You can’t win against using illusion!”

“Don’t worry about that. The current won’t be in an illusory state.”

“No!!”

“…?”

No?

Baekryeon, Seolrin, and Levia all had questions in their heads at the same time.

“What does that mean? What do you mean no?”

“Don’t hesitate and tell me quickly. What do you know?”

“The body that is using now is…. It’s my sister’s!…. The main body is still….”

【system: Activates . Recognition level increases by one step.】

【system: Consumes 5% magic per second.】

Everything slows down.

That is the same for in front of me.

Only I can move at the right speed in this world.

In that world, I held my sword and aimed it at .

“Earth Split”

A vertical slash is etched at the tip of the sword, adorning the empty sky.

“Mount Tai Split”

A horizontal slash is etched at the tip of the sword, traversing the empty sky.

And a stab that pierces the center of the two slashes.

Originally, the is completed by doing these three actions at the same time, but unfortunately, I don’t have that much ability.

Therefore, this pseudo-ultimate that can only be done in this that can imitate the ultimate as similarly as possible

“ ”

【system: Deactivates .】

“!”

Slash, Kwaaaaaang!!!!

The three slashes overlap and resonate almost simultaneously, maximizing their power and engulfing as is.

As if the slashes were not satisfied with just that, they engraved deep scars on the World Tree that stood tall behind it.

The deep scars, which were hard to believe were made by an individual, were so severe that one might wonder if the World Tree would simply break and fall.

“…!”

This is definitely the end.

As if to shatter my thoughts that I was thinking so, the roots of the World Tree that sprang up from the ground wrapped around me.

“What….”

“I almost died for real. No, did I already die once?”

“?!”

And there, I saw coming down from the sky in perfect condition.

“You’re still okay after being hit by that?!….”

“Well, I wasn’t okay. Thanks to you, the vessel was completely destroyed.”

“Vessel?….”

I hurriedly turned my gaze at that word.

There was something at the place where I swung my slash.

A living being that was cut and pierced.

It was an elf with water-colored hair.

“!!….”

I know her.

She is Daria Eruin, the mage elf who joins Leon’s second party in the original game.
