Elf.

They are a species that mainly lives in the forest, and their appearance is said to have a beauty that makes people talk about it. It is a race that every man would want to try at least once, but unfortunately, it is also a different race that is not often seen in human society. Most elves chose to remain safe in their own societies.

The elven kingdom was shrouded in mysticism. I will see there today.

When we join the Empire’s reinforcements and arrive at the entrance to the forest where the elves live, the elves who were waiting in advance come into view.

“Wow.”

“Gasp.”

Both women and men admire the beauty of elves. I have experience seeing a lot of elves, so there was no need to be surprised.

“Ha.”

“Zed.”

“Sallot. I was just purely surprised.”

He didn’t open his mouth like an idiot like Zed. The elves are all lined up, probably in charge of guiding us into the interior of the forest. Among them, a familiar face came forward.

It was Frenya, the great guardian of the forest. Frenya has the best bow skills and was also a member of the warrior party before returning. I remember this bitch was the last member. This time too, if I wanted people to cooperate with me to catch the demon lord, I didn’t have a good attitude.

“Warrior. Thank you for coming for our elf.”

Frenya shook hands with Charlotte rather than with me.

“Over there. I’m a warrior too.”

“Aren’t you a warrior who hasn’t been proven yet?”

Fortunately, he didn’t say anything completely informal to you. But unpleasant is unpleasant.

“You know that I am the leader who led them, right?”

Now, I could have taken the leadership role instead of Charlotte. Charlotte only has the qualification to be a warrior, but I was also a warrior and the chief of operations sent by the emperor.

“Hmph. A warrior would not force such a position.”

What kind of bullshit is this again?

“And… … There are demons here too.”

“I am a good demon!”

ah.

And I brought Ellis too. I brought it because I thought it might be necessary because I was dealing with demons. He wore a bracelet that hid his energy, but it seems that he was discovered to be a demon. Still, I put on a hood to hide my appearance.

“Don’t talk nonsense, just give me guidance. I guess it’s urgent for you, right?”

“I understand.”

Of course, cooperation means receiving help from the Elven Kingdom, but this did not appear to be the attitude of the person receiving help.

“From now on, you won’t be able to be separated from us.”

With the elves in the lead, they begin to enter the forest that was shrouded in secret. On the outside, it was just a dense forest, but I heard that the deeper you go inside, the more it is full of very large trees and plants and animals that are hard to find in the human world.

“There is a strong magic barrier.”

Eline whispers. A magic circle with the purpose of filtering out intruders surrounded the entire forest.

“If you become conceited about your skills and leave this place, you will be trapped in an endless maze.”

“Then the guardian, you can find it.”

“… … We need to prevent that from happening.”

The elf must know the magic of this forest. Especially if you’re as skilled as Frenya, you probably know that.

“The barrier surrounding the forest seems very strong.”

“It’s natural because of people like you.”

“But I heard that the territory was invaded by demons?”

“… … Large.”

Frenya’s words became shorter. After accepting the magic circle’s praise with great vigor, he faced reality.

“How did the demons come in?”

I knew the result, but I didn’t know the reason. I understand that in the previous episode, the Elf Kingdom barely managed to drive out the demons. Like the Principality of Lancelot, it suffered enormous damage.

“I’m so curious about how the demons got through that amazing magic circle?”

“That will be explained to you later after you meet the Elder.”

Perhaps because it was bothersome to talk to me, or because it seemed to show the elf’s helplessness, he blocked me from talking to him.

“Please follow me quietly.”

“I can’t listen to that?”

“What?”

“Ready for battle!”

Most of the people around me hesitated at the sudden order.

“Humans, no way, we—.”

“Stop being mistaken and prepare yourself!”

An ominous energy had just entered my senses. It seems that not only I, but also Ray and Charlotte noticed it. Charlotte immediately pulled out the holy sword.

“It’s a demon!”

“What?”

Frenya opened her eyes wide and quickly glanced around. It won’t be visible yet. Even Ray, who had extremely developed senses, had only recently sensed the demons. However, Frenya, who possessed great senses even though she was not as good as Ray, soon understood what I meant.

“Tch. Was he waiting on the street corner?”

Frenya lifted the arrow hanging behind her back.

“Good. Should I prepare too?”

Like Charlotte, I also drew the holy sword. A sword filled with the energy of death. It was a sword that everyone had forgotten, but it was the sword that Odelia had given me before when she was trying to awaken me. If they were demons, they would have received information that a hero was coming, and the fact that they prepared such a welcome greeting meant that they were confident. I also have to show sincerity to him.

“Isn’t that a magic sword?”

Frenya was slightly surprised by the dark-looking sword. When it comes to a holy sword, it should have a sacred feel, like the sword Charlotte is holding, but a sword that could be used by a demon was not suitable for a warrior like me.

“If it’s a magic sword, why don’t you show up with me?”

“What, what?! How dare you—.”

“Oh my. I can’t even joke around. It’s a holy sword.”

Frenya took it too seriously, so I quickly backed down this time. It wasn’t worth the unnecessary pun.

“Over there!”

At Ray’s finger, a group of people appeared next to him.

“Daron. I don’t think it was a surprise attack?”

Eline, who was preparing a magic barrier just in case, carefully reduced her magic power slightly.

“Hahaha. We didn’t come to fight.”

“And you?”

“The Four Heavenly Kings who serve the Demon King.”

It was a man wearing round glasses.

Please call me “Tony—”

“Tony.”

I know that name.

Urtak, Ketin, Set… … And the last one was this guy, Tony. Urtak was originally the guy who coveted this succubus princess next to me. Ketin has been dealt with in the duchy, and Set is secretly preparing for rebellion. And the only one left among them was a demon named Tony, who was the most intelligent among the Four Heavenly Kings.

“Wasn’t it Urtak who came here?”

“Oh, do you know? I never thought such news would have already arrived.”

This is what I heard before the regression. The demon bastard who was running wild was Urtak, so the Four Heavenly Kings thought he came alone, but now that I see it, it seems that wasn’t the case. But if you think about it again, Urtak couldn’t have done this alone. His fighting power is the strongest among the Four Heavenly Kings, but if we look at what he did to the Elf Kingdom, a superior demon other than Urtak was needed.

“You are in charge of the elf kingdom?”

“Kkk. That’s right, Urtak just came along to prepare for an unexpected battle.”

“So what brought you here?”

No matter how much he is the Four Heavenly Kings, coming to us would have been a mistake. is not it? Since they didn’t come to fight, they must have just wanted to talk and get out.

“I’m just curious.”

“What?”

“Daron Dran, the warrior of death. I wanted to see what kind of person you were.”

me?

“The one who will bring hundreds and thousands of deaths to this place. It’s so ridiculous. I can’t believe you’re so good at labeling yourself a hero. It’s so funny that elves who love nature would bring in such a piece of destruction, huh— right? Hahahaha!”

At those words, the elves, including Frenya, turn to look at me. Just looking at the black holy sword and my energy is extremely ominous.

“So what.”

“Yes?”

“Could it be that the elves are a pathetic race that believes the bullshit of demons more than me?”

The elves, stung by those words, quickly turn their eyes away from me.

“If I were really that kind of person, I would keep my mouth shut as a demon.”

“It’s true, so I have nothing to say.”

It seems like they were trying to cause division, but it didn’t harm me at all.

“So is that all you have to say?”

“Hehehe. I’ll say it again, I was just curious.”

What are you thinking?

Literally, the previously pointless attempt to promote division seemed to be trying to figure out who I was.

“Then is it my turn next?”

“Yes?”

“First, let’s cut off just one arm.”

The way to handle such types is simple. It is said that he is very intelligent, so even such trivial remarks may have a big impact in the future. So before that, you just have to show an idea that goes beyond that guy’s common sense.

“Sleep, just a moment.”

“Now, bite this evil.”

The moment I was about to swing the holy sword towards that Four Heavenly Kings named Tony—.

“Wait!”

Frenya suddenly stops me.

“What.”

“You must not attack that guy.”

What are you talking about.

“Phew.”

Tony relaxed his horrified face and smiled brightly.

“I was afraid that the great guardian of the forest might have forgotten.”

omg.

“Fregna. Do you really like that demon?”

“That’s not it! That’s not it… … .”

“Hehehe. We’re holding the elf’s precious hostage.”

Hostage?

“You received support from the Gaia Empire even though you knew that. You are so brave.”

“Oh, don’t do anything stupid to your mother!”

“Well, it doesn’t matter. There’s no way we can stop our plan anyway. Well then… … .”

Tony quietly disappeared with his men.

More like a mother?

Speaking of Frenya’s mother… … .

Isn’t she the queen?
