45.

Lily activated the Forest Fury Bow’s ability.

Phage crackle!

As Lily drew the string of her bow, an arrow of fiery magic was created.

“Lily, aim for the black crystal on her stomach!”

Chris, who had been lying down, shouted.

Lily aimed her arrow at the King Giant Spider’s torso.

“Must kill, must kill, Lazy Arrow!!”

Phew!

The arrow Lily shot shot out like a flash of lightning.

Parking!

The arrow shot by Lily hit the black crystal, but the black crystal was not destroyed with a single attack.

Lily clicked her tongue and pulled back for her next attack.

Sweat beaded on Riel’s forehead as he cast a slow spell to stop the King Giant Spider’s movements.

“Please hurry up… I can’t hold out for long… .”

Riel squeezed out his voice.

Lily aimed for the giant spider’s abdomen again.

Just as Lily was about to fire an arrow.

Suddenly, black magic gathered on top of a nearby tree and shot black magic bullets toward Lily.

“Ugh!”

Lily missed the arrow while trying to avoid the magic bullet’s attack.

The arrow Lily shot lodged itself in the giant spider’s back.

A man who had fired a magic bullet in the air fell from a tree and landed on the ground.

A person who had been hiding with stealth magic has revealed himself to attack.

She was a tall, dark-skinned woman.

Judging by his long ears, he seemed to be a dark elf.

The face was unrecognizable as it was covered by a mask in the shape of a demon.

“I will not allow anyone to interfere with the Apostle of the Demon God.”

The dark elf spoke in a deep, gloomy voice.

Several magic bullets gathered in front of the dark elf.

Tupapapak!

Several magic bullets rained down, targeting Lily.

At that moment, a fairy appeared blocking Lily’s path.

The Fairy King Oberon suddenly appeared and deployed barrier magic.

Shukwakwakwang!

Oberon’s barrier protected Lily.

“Are you okay, human girl?”

“Fairy King? How is it here…?”

“Actually, I followed you secretly because I was worried about you guys. I can’t use offensive magic, but I’m good at defensive magic.”

Chris shouted.

“Lily! First, we have to take down the Dark Elf! That guy must be the culprit behind the incident where he spread black crystals!

Lily aimed her last remaining arrow at the dark elf.

“You insolent bastard. Are you going to oppose our pitch-black temple, which has received power from the demon god!”

Countless evil magic balls were created again in front of the dark elf’s body.

As the dark elf waved his hand,

In response, countless magic bullets were fired toward Lily.

“I will protect the human warriors even if it means sacrificing my body!”

Oberon used a barrier to protect Lily.

Kookwakwakwang!

Cracks began to appear in Oberon’s barrier as magic bullets poured down like hail.

“I will not back down even if I have to use my body as a shield!”

The barrier shattered like glass shards as the magic bullets poured down like hail.

Doo doo doo doo!

The magic bullet hit Oberon’s torso directly.

“Keuhuk!”

Oberon managed to block the attack on Lily, even while spitting up blood.

Meanwhile,

Lily, who had blocked the attack from behind Oberon, pulled back the bow of Forest Fury.

“Must kill, must kill, Lazy Arrow!!”

The lightning bolt shot by Lily pierced the dark elf.

“Keuh-oh!”

The dark elf collapsed, spitting out black blood.

“No matter how much you struggle, you cannot stop the resurrection of the Demon God. On the day the Demon God is resurrected, all of you humans will perish… .”

The dark elf’s body crumbled into ashes and disappeared into black smoke.

It was the end of Mine, whose soul was stolen by the demon.

“I can’t stand it anymore… !”

Riel used up all of her mana and fell to the ground, unconscious.

-Keeek!

The slow spell was broken and King Giant Spider was freed.

King Giant Spider lunged at Lily.

“Ugh!”

Lily had no arrows left.

A crisis situation.

“Thunder Arrow Execute!”

Phage, phage, phage!

King Giant Spider’s movements stopped for a moment.

Chris briefly paralyzed King Giant Spider with his lightning magic.

However, the paralyzing effect only lasted for an hour, or less than a minute.

“Lily… Run away during this gap!”

Chris shouted.

“But I can’t run away alone… .”

Lily was confused.

at that time,

Oberon called Lily.

“The Forest Fury Arrow is made from the power of the Fairy Tribe’s condensed mana. Now, I will give you, the human warrior, all the energy I have collected over the past year. You will be able to create an arrow with my energy. Use that arrow to defeat King Giant Spider!”

Oberon’s body began to glow, forming a golden sphere.

The sphere was sucked in as if it was being absorbed by the forest’s wrath that Lily was holding.

“Human warrior, pull the bow!”

Lily drew her bowstring as Oberon had said.

Phage, phage, phage!

A fiery arrow of mana was created.

-Keeeek!

Almost at the same time, King Giant Spider, whose paralysis effect from Thunder Arrow had disappeared, began to move to tear Lily apart.

The distance between them is only about 10 meters!

Lily’s arrow aimed precisely at the black crystal embedded in the King Giant Spider’s torso.

“Must kill, must kill, Lazy Arrow!!”

Kwajik!

The arrow of mana hit the black crystal squarely.

The black crystal was shattered into pieces.

At the same time, King Giant Spider lost all his strength and fell to the ground, like a marionette whose strings had snapped.

As the power of magic drained, it seemed to cause severe symptoms of exhaustion.

When the King Giant Spider who was giving orders collapsed, the subordinate Giant Spiders also realized that the situation was unfavorable and began to run away, each looking for a way to survive.

Chris and his group survived the crisis safely.

#

30 minutes later.

The King Giant Spider, who had been unconscious, stood up.

Chris and his group also took a break to recover their energy.

-Purrr.

What did King Giant Spider say to Chris and his group?

“King Giant Spider thanks you for saving him from being brainwashed.”

According to King Giant Spider, a masked dark elf suddenly appeared and embedded a black crystal into his chest.

He said that when the black crystal was embedded in his abdomen, his eyes suddenly became blurry and only anger and hatred filled his heart, making him lose his mind.

“What on earth is the identity of that masked dark elf?”

“He clearly stated that he was an apostle of the Black Temple.”

Lily remembered what the dark elf had muttered.

“The Temple of Darkness…?!”

Ray seemed to have a point.

“Ray, do you know something?”

Ray opened his mouth with a complicated expression at Chris’ question.

“I don’t know the details, but I heard that the Black Temple is a secret society created by descendants of the Dark Elf Kingdom who were driven out of the Ridelf Kingdom 500 years ago.”

A secret society of dark elves who were driven out of the Kingdom of Ridelf?

Chris felt a sudden and incoherent series of words coming at him.

“You may not know, but the land of the Ridelph Kingdom was originally ruled by the Dark Elves until 500 years ago. Midreddin was the sacred ground of the Dark Elves. The Dark Elves were pagans who worshipped the Demon God. The Humans and Elves who worshipped the Lord Joshua were not on good terms with the Dark Elves. 500 years ago, there was a great war between the two races. The Humans and Elves won the war and took the land of the Dark Elves. That is the current Ridelph Kingdom.”

Chris felt like he was out of breath.

I never thought there would be such a past between the humans and the dark elves.

“So the Dark Elves are trying to reclaim their stolen land by scattering black crystals throughout the kingdom and making monsters violent?”

“I heard that the Black Temple is a group of radicals from the Dark Elves who gathered to reclaim the land that was taken away. They tried to resurrect the Demon God 100 years ago and throw the land into chaos.”

“100 years ago, humans stopped them?”

“That’s right. It was your ancestor, the great summoner Jude Delun, who shattered their ambitions 100 years ago. I also fought them as one of Jude’s summoners.”

Ray looked up at the sky with a hazy look in his eyes, as if he was recalling the past.

“No matter how much they say they lost the land they used to live on, it’s unforgivable to indiscriminately harm others and turn monsters into demons!”

Chris clenched his fist.

Up until now, monsters that were sacrificed and turned into demons by those guys, academy students that were killed by the brainwashed Thunder Tiger, and giant spider monsters that were turned into demons in the Forest of Dreams and died in ashes.

What on earth did they do wrong!

“Chris, you’re right. They’re just crazy. They want to resurrect the demons to reclaim their old territory. If they do something like that, all life on the entire continent of Ridelph will turn into demons. That has to be stopped.”

Ray said with determined eyes.

-Purrr!

King Giant Spider intervenes.

“What? You can’t forgive the dark elves either?”

-Purrr!

“Chris. King Giant Spider says he wants to help us too!”

-Purpur.

King Giant Spider looked at Chris with determined eyes.
