Side story. For High Elves and Planes (4)

Training was not common.

It could never be common to make the warrior’s power more smooth and awakening.

“I can’t even move one step!”

“Hold on. Kim Woo-jin ran around casually.”

Pressing Yulia with the power of the universe.

“…It moves completely differently than I intended, so this can be successful, right?”

“It’s not enough. Kim Woo-jin found the rules and gaps in the powers just with a sense.”

In a twisted space, using the power of the warrior to control the wind.

“Just getting closer cancels out the power!”

“So, solidify beyond that or increase the total amount!”

“If it was easier said than done, I would have done it right away!”

“Kim Woo-jin gets better every time he does it, so why are you like that!”

“So, who the hell is that Kim Woo-jin?!”

Even the mana stones that offset the strength of the hero.

Albenius taught Julia the same way he taught Kim Woo-jin. Because that’s the most efficient.

Maybe that’s why, I couldn’t help but compare. Kim Woo-jin did it right away, but a high elf was so incompetent.

After intense training, Yulia collapsed from exhaustion. The world tree supplemented her with the spirit of the forest through the elemental body.

– Are you okay?

“no.”

– You’re honest.

“I am exhausted both physically and mentally. In particular, I’m dying to know who that Kim Woo-jin is.”

– It’s human. killed god

“…is that a human?”

then what am i is it weed?

– I’m not sure if I heard it too, but it’s Seid’s colleague that Albenius talked about.

“…the one who prevented the near-impossible apocalypse?”

– yes.

“Then, if I learn from Albenius-sama, will I gain the same power as a god?”

– That’s not it. At that time, they said that the situation and Kim Woo-jin were very special.

“···That’s too bad.”

Anyway, I have a reason to study harder. Now that I know that there is not the slightest lie in what Albenius said.

I will definitely find Kim Woo-jin.

Sayd was like the parents who raised her in place of her deceased parents. If he was alive, he wanted to find it, and if he was dead, he wanted to hear the end of it.

“The break is over. go again.”

“Yeah!”

Half a year passed like that.

* * *

“Now stop descending.”

“…the way you speak is strange all of a sudden.”

“Is martial arts too early for elves?”

“···Yeah?”

While Yulia was in Elven, the war situation changed drastically. The monsters that were moving south suddenly stopped advancing and hovered around the contaminated area.

The union judged that this was related to Gwangryong.

“I wonder if Gwangryong started to sleep.”

Dragons must periodically go into long hibernation. It was not just about sleeping, it was a process of further evolving the body.

“The dragon’s guardians in hibernation protect only the dragon’s rarity and their activity radius is drastically reduced. There is a possibility.”

“Then it’s been a while…”

“Do you really think so? Conversely, when hibernation ends, Gwangryong becomes stronger.”

“Before that, we must defeat the light dragon.”

“But by what means? All the monsters should be lined up around the Gwangryong’s nest.”

“Isn’t there anything you can’t break through if you do your best?”

“What about Gwangryong? Even if he’s in hibernation, if he’s in danger, he’ll wake up eventually. Can you kill him?”

There was no The warrior was strong, but Gwangryong was stronger. Humanity had already suffered a great loss in one battle, and even if they joined again, there was no guarantee that they would win.

“Isn’t there a possibility this time, though? I took him with me from Elven.”

“Considering the relationship between the World Tree and the high elves, that possibility is not entirely nonexistent.”

However, simple possibility and certainty are different. If Gwangryong, angered by his hasty touches, moves south again, even the precarious peace he had obtained could disappear.

The fact that Yulia was defeated really came to me.

“…I just hope that the elves’ assertions are true.”

“At least the elves don’t lie, so I have no choice but to trust them.”

“But when will it be ready, when will it come? Isn’t everyone talking nonsense after Gwangryong happens?”

“While sending an envoy to the Elvens to urge them on, prepare a second expeditionary force to prepare for any contingencies…”

Under such circumstances, the hero finally departed with the elves.

* * *

“I am opposed to direct all-out war. I want you to give me people you can trust as colleagues.”

Yulia, who returned to the Empire’s ecliptic as the core of the Union, made a request to the Union.

“Comrades?”

“The last war was too hasty. I knew little about monsters and light dragons, and I wasn’t familiar with authority. How much and how far my power goes.”

“I admit I was in a hurry. If so, what are you trying to do?”

Julia answered the emperor’s question.

“We will go around the outskirts of the occupied territory contaminated by demons and go inside gradually to investigate the demons. As long as the sleeping Gwangryong doesn’t wake up.”

“It looks like you want to check to see what level your skills are at.”

“Because I can’t make mistakes like last time.”

“Do you want a minority class?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay. If that’s your will, whatever you want.”

The alliance brought together three of the best talents in each field.

Archmage, Edmund Freyn.

Daisy Hawkne, the greatest knight of Arkan Kingdom.

And even the saint, Gallas Coleman.

The three, who were destined to be one hero and his companions, had their first meeting at the royal villa.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Yulia Karsen, who is lacking but is called a hero.”

“I am Edmund Freyn, champion.”

Edmund Freyn was a man in his late thirties. He was a genius, and when he was a child, he became a disciple of the Imperial Mage Lord and exploded his talents like never before, achieving the status of the youngest archmage.

“This is Daisy Hawke.”

Daisy Hawkne was a knight of the Kingdom of Arkan, which boasted the strongest national power next to the Empire. Born in the Hawkne family, a renowned knight family, he inherited the title by defeating his brother and father, and furthermore, the first sword of the kingdom.

“This is Gallas Coleman. May God’s protection be with you on the path ahead.”

Saint, Gallas Coleman. As a priest serving the gods, he was favored by the gods. The enormous divine power was so dense that it was incomparable to other priests.

“Did you hear the story? We will go up north together.”

“I heard, but what is the exact purpose? Surely it wouldn’t be such a foolish strategy to intercept the sleeping Kwangryong alone, right?”

Edmund shuddered, as if the thought was making him sick.

“I don’t do stupid things like that. I just want to check.”

“What do you mean?”

“Can I be confident that I can win?”

“…Hero, were you afraid of being defeated once?”

Daisy’s lips twisted. Yulia nodded slightly.

“Yes. I won’t deny it. Gwangryong was strong and I was defeated. I think it has changed since then because of my time in Elven, but it is unknown whether or not I will be able to defeat the Kwangryong.”

So you need to check. For her sake and for humanity.

If we fail one more time, the damage this time won’t even compare to the last time.

“Because there is a reason why you must, must succeed.”

There is something I need to block and listen to Albenius.

“Don’t worry. You are God’s chosen warrior. If you move forward with firm faith, God will always guide you on the right path. No darkness will block the light of God.”

The saint wished for a blessing, but what Julia needed was an experience, not just a verbal blessing.

“So are you going?”

“I will be with you wherever you go. That is God’s will.”

“Since we gathered for that, we must go. Please, I hope you don’t forcefully go into the depths…”

“great. warrior. It’s nice to be honest. Oh, can I speak comfortably?”

“You look so comfortable already.”

“I adapt quickly.”

Daisy laughed heartily. It wasn’t a human image I liked that much, but the momentum I felt was quite strong. That’s it. This is not a place to evaluate personality, but a place to find comrades to fight with.

The warrior party went straight north. He passed through the huge barriers built by humans and stepped into the land of death.

* * *

“This is Ketra.”

Ketra. One of the monsters rooted in the Daydram, it was a monster with a size of 10m and chewing on ogres. To the extent that even some of the knights couldn’t stand it.

“Whoa…”

Yulia calmed her breathing slowly. Sharpen your sword and raise the wind.

“Can I help you?”

“That’s Okay.”

“You seem very nervous. I heard that you fought on an equal footing with Kwangryong, but is there any need to be nervous about Ketra?”

“Because I don’t want my assumptions to be wrong.”

Even if Ketra is strong, Yulia is a warrior. I caught it countless times during the first Allied advance.

Yeah, catching itself isn’t the problem.

Tak, she kicked the ground. The wind pushed the body. It arrives in front of Ketra’s nose in an instant.

───!

Ketra screams. The poisonous smoke that exploded hit Yulia.

However, the wind blows fiercely and does not fulfill its purpose. Though panicked, Ketra raised her bony arms.

─!

cut off as it is The upper body, which had been cut in two, slid down.

“···what. one room?”

“Your worries are pointless.”

“God is leading, and there will be no stumbling along the way.”

Yulia brushed off the blood on her sword. He breathed heavily and tried to catch his breath.

‘done.’

Killed Ketra in one hit. Didn’t put too much effort into it. It was quite different from before, when I had to fight for more than a minute even if I couldn’t do it.

got stronger It has changed.

“···this time.”

can win. you can win It should be.

“…Hmm, if it’s enough to kill Ketra in one shot, I don’t think we need further confirmation.”

“Ketra is more than an ogre. If you kill that guy lightly, there won’t be any monsters that can give you hardships.”

“No, I’m not sure about that.”

Of course, Ketra is a strong monster. But when it comes to being the strongest monster, everyone shakes their heads. This is because the monsters are limitless and there are quite a lot of monsters stronger than Ketra.

That is why mankind continues to be pushed back.

“Go a little deeper.”

“Then I can’t… I don’t think it will come. If Gwangryong wakes up, it’s all over.”

“Do not worry. It won’t go that far.”

“But why risk yourself? I’d rather go around the outskirts and aim for monsters that occasionally appear like this time…”

“You never know when Gwangryong will wake up. It’s good that you don’t think you have a lot of time.”

“We risked our lives for that time.”

The safety-oriented wizard swallowed his groan.

“If a crisis comes, I will do my best to help you escape.”

“If we live and the hero dies, we will not be able to stop Gwangryong in the end and the same result will come out.”

“What is it, wizard? Do you not trust the warrior? You cut Ketra down with a single sword?”

“Of course, I admit that the hero is strong, but there are only four of us and we don’t know how many monsters there may be.”

“There will be no problem. God illuminates the path, so the light is always with you on the path you are walking.”

“My saint has been saying things I like for the first time in a while.”

According to the majority rule, the wizard had no choice but to follow.

“How many layers of defensive magic do you put on?”

“It walks on a limb, and this is normal.”

“How did you become the Archmage because you were so cowardly?”

“Because I was very timid, I used magic only after thoroughly disassembling the magic circle, magic, and spells and understanding them in detail. Then the realization came.”

“…I don’t know much about magic, but I know you’re a weirdo.”

“There is nothing wrong with being careful in everything. And it seems to me that you are suffering from insecurity.”

First of all, I decided to enter slowly along the outskirts in order not to stimulate Gwangryong as much as possible.

Should I say fortunately, the monsters felt like wild animals released in the field rather than forming an army.

In the limited land called the polluted land, the ecosystem of monsters was spread out.

“It’s at a level where we really want to be needed.”

And Julia became a lion. The monsters swept around to the extent that they looked like herbivores.

Whether to call it a warrior or not, Daisy felt a weak sense of shame about herself.

“I’m still the best knight in the kingdom.”

“It is absurd for a mere creature to compare itself to a warrior chosen by God. Please don’t make it difficult for yourself.”

“under···. Isn’t that more embarrassing then? You become stronger simply because you are chosen by God.”

“The ordering is wrong. I was chosen because I deserved it.”

“Then it’s just what I said in the beginning, right?”

“I guess that will happen.”

The saint nodded. Daisy’s face was horribly distorted, but she wasn’t despondent and dead.

He drew his sword and entered the battlefield.

“If you do it wrong, the wind will blow you away!”

I can’t tell the difference between front and back like that! Edmund chanted the magic. The five protective magics instantly settled in Daisy’s body.

She started arguing with several monsters charging at Yulia.

“I definitely have skills. It only seems lacking because the comparison target is the hero.”

“I don’t think that would comfort Miss Daisy, so don’t bother saying it.”

“I have that kind of notice.”

The battle ended quickly. It was because Yulia cut down all monsters in one blow.

Recently, the battles of the warriors have always been like this. It goes around the contaminated land and slowly moves to the center and encounters monsters. And Yulia said that she would check her skills and ended them all in one blow.

All they did as colleagues was to set up a stealth magic circle at night to prevent monsters from approaching, or to run out and swing their swords if they didn’t want to search, or to cast divine magic to conserve exhausted stamina.

knock knock-

It was night. The party settled in a cave in what was once a forest. I installed a stealth magic circle and started a bonfire.

Yulia blankly stared at the flames.

‘Definitely different.’

It’s definitely different from back then. However, it is doubtful whether it will work for Gwangryong. Albenius and the mother tree assured me, but well. The shock of that defeat was too great.

‘I’m going safely and surely.’

Her defeat is not a simple defeat. Accompanied by such a price, countless human beings are erased. One such experience is enough.

“I’ve never seen anyone more safety-oriented than me.”

It was Edmund, the wizard of safety. Daisy and Saint were already asleep. He added magic power to the dying fire and revived it.

“is that so?”

“Is it because of failure?”

“Yes. One failure has already killed many people. I don’t want to go through that experience twice.”

“Do you want to be sure that you can kill the light dragon?”

“Yes.”

“But no matter how strong the monsters are, they are weak compared to the light dragon. No matter how many times I kill them, can I get the confidence that I can kill Gwangryong?”

It was a theory.

Yulia’s obsession was like an unresolved hunger. And she was well aware of that fact.

“So I’m going to go right before that.”

“What if you said right before that?”

“Monsters grow by feeding on blood and vitality.”

I don’t know what principle it is, but based on it, I’m born anew, gather, and grow. Then, on the contrary, what if there is no blood and life force to eat?

“So I came in as a small elite.”

As strong people who can not die in quite a few things.

“···Wait.”

For a moment, Edmund felt a deep ominous feeling. It was also an intuition as a wizard.

“Didn’t you say that you came just for simple confirmation?”

“It’s a combination, a combination. As a confirmation, prepare for the worst.”

Yulia smiled and smiled.

“Gwangryong leading the corps and just Gwangryong alone. You know what’s easier to deal with, right?”

“They say they don’t go to the center…”

“It is possible to set foot in the center by mistake.”

“Don’t you think it’s not a mistake when you say that to me?”

“late.”

Our eyes met. Edmund trembled.

“Once I came this far, I can’t go back. Please take good care of me until the end.”

It was free when it came, but not when it went.
