Demon King
Chapter 115 Dwarves [6]
There is a lot of pressure to travel around the country. I spent over half my mana just to travel to Incheon from Seoul, even after my evolution, and my mana recovery improved. If I push myself too hard, I will end up in a situation where I cannot handle it. But that doesn't mean I can relax and move slowly. Many dwarves were thrown to Earth after the Devil's Night. I don't know how many appear in each region of each country, or which are the most dangerous.
However, I have no intention of giving up. I had to save as much and as quickly as possible before the perception of mankind about dwarves as enemies was formed. It would only be followed by an all-out war with Elakatra. It is impossible to do it alone, but I also cannot let it weaken my resolve. All I can do is borrow the power of others.
That's a valid conclusion. Rain nodded.
“It is important to understand your own strength. Recently, I felt as if you were trying to avoid relying on us, so I'm rather happy for you. ”
“I don't want to get to the end if possible. I am ready to pay the right price. ” The problem is I don't think the price will be fair, but I need him to lend me his strength. Rain smiled bitterly as if reading my thoughts.
“There are many ways, but this is the most effective.” He carried two artifacts: a compass and a bracelet.
“None of them can be used permanently. They are more a collection of magic than artifacts and will disappear once they fulfill their role. However, they both have extraordinary abilities. ”
“That's what I'm looking for.”
“Both will cost you three hundred and fifty thousand gold.”
“Go, fetch ..!” He smiled brightly and, mercilessly, took all that gold. His ability to steal everything like a ghost at night was truly terrifying. How great was this disposable item that he could make me pay so much? I took it with curiosity.
“Even if you rate them, you will not get any information. Like I said, they have amazing abilities. ” I can only get back their names, but there is no information about their abilities as Rain said. One was the Spirit of Records, and the other was the Spirit of Breath.
“The Spirit of Record will show and guide you to the dwarves. The blood of your life will fill mana. ”
“Others?”
“It is...”
“Hm?” I saw the bracelet in my hand; it rained the same. Before I could even consider it, L showed up and took it from me.
“You...?”
“I don't like the idea of Destiny taking your mana.”
“I saw.” Rain smiled and took a step back.
“Then, I will take over your work in the meantime.”
“Please. And tell A to stop coming back. The collaboration between Fate and me would be perfect. ”
“If I delivered that to her, she would probably cry.”
“I can't wait for that.”
“...I saw. Well, then, Fate, good luck. ” I want to know what the two of them are talking about, but Rain gave me a bow, and I backed off. Only me and L are left, with Solas sitting on my shoulder.
“What is a shipping device where?” I pointed at the bracelet that I was holding with a happy face.
“True.” She put a bracelet on her wrist, which clashed with the dress she was wearing. But since she was the one wearing it, she pulled it as if it was made for her from the start. The absolute beauty she had.
“Duration is not long, and has no amplification capability. It is a trash-like artifact that passes mana from one side to the other. But, if you share it with me, the story becomes a little different. ”
“Yah ..” Mana L is difficult for me to understand, even now. His resilience was also beyond my imagination, so with him supporting me, I would definitely never run out of mana.
“This may weigh a little on your heart. Can you hold that much? ”
“Do not worry about it.” I responded cheerfully and patted the other bracelet on myself. I immediately tested me, sending a large amount of mana straight through the bracelet, but fortunately, my body did not explode. I took control with my own mana, twisting it through my body. I can turn it into magic, and then turn it back into mana if it becomes too much.
“It looks pretty balanced.” Satisfied, he stopped sending me mana.
“You said you were busy, so get started now. Do not use this bracelet in combat. It's not stable. ”
“I'll be back.”
“...Good.” I don't know what I'm saying, but L opened his eyes for a while and then replied with a small smile.
I got above ground, immediately filling the note with mana. The needle spun rapidly but eventually started to slow down. The bracelet recovered the mana I had spent, which was very good. I'm going across the country with Ubiquitous. I will be involved in an operation to track down my nearest dwarf and immediately bring them underground. Since I only have one of each artifact, I am alone in this mission. Except Solas, of course.
Speed and stealth.
“But with some more evolution, it's possible.” I jumped through the shadows, having changed my appearance to my illusion, covering my body in a thick robe. I arrived in a place not much different from Korea, even though the situation was very different.
“Kill it!”
“Friends...!”
“Reden!” Humans, dwarves, and some elves engaged in battle. Humans pointed their swords at the elves, and the dwarves' hammers at the humans. The three elves faced both sides at once. Some dwarves were already lying on the ground dead, among some humans. The scenery in Incheon would resemble this if I didn't interfere. I can even see some humans with monster souls.
My mind is short, and my actions are quick. No one noticed me as I stepped forward with the power of the Reaper. Solas jumped off my shoulder and moved in the air.
“Hm?” One of Elakatra was sensitive to me, his ears twitching. However, I calmly waited for my moment. Reaper can't be found by anyone. As long as my confidence is absolute, my sword can continue without any problems. I count one, two, then three, and hit. The fairy collapsed.
[You gained 2,984 experiences.]
[You received 193 gold.]
[You gained 2,531 experiences.]
[You receive 205 gold.]
Solas attacked the other strongest elves at the same time I killed one, both of them fell at once. Silence rules the battlefield.
“Who are you?!” The only remaining elves shouted furiously. However, he is the weakest of them, and he cannot determine our location. He shot out several mana explosions in the surroundings, but it would not work against a higher level individual. Moving fast, Solas launched a transparent net and ran through the air. It exploded against the mana shots, confusing the elves, as he fired a net to kill the elves. The flowing movement of Solas is very beautiful.
[You gained 2,109 experiences.]
[Raise level!]
[You received 174 gold.]
“Hah?!”
The fairy …! Humans began to move; to them, the elves were untouched. But now that the untouchable creatures had been killed, they were overwhelmed with fear. However, some of them ran towards the dwarves instead of leaving.
“Dirt...!”
“Kill them!” They were the ones taken over by the soul monsters. They try to use their magic to kill the dwarves.
Myu! Solas' bold shout sounded, a thick net blocking their attacks. Mana collided with his net and exploded, causing the ground to tremble. While that was happening, I activated Belkena Spell and Lunatic Trickster at the same time, using wind magic on the dwarves. It was a knockback technique to move it where I wanted it. The dwarves, even though they were above level 150, could not help it. They rolled back, finally coming together in one place. The eyes of those who harbored anger glowed dark, but the door to the underground was already open.
[Solas, please clean up.]
[Mim!]
“Outstanding.”
“Man?”
“I felt a familiar energy ..” When their surroundings suddenly changed, the dwarves stood guard with the weapons ready. But I don't have time to explain everything to them.
There's another dwarf in there!
“Where is this? Are we going back underground? ”
“Other dwarfs are here? Hey, everybody come here! ” I followed them underground, asked Alec to explain the new environment and my proposal to them. During that time, Solas had exterminated the possessed humans and crippled the rest.
Myu.
“Good work ... but ..” I look around at the cold human and dwarf corpses. It would be nice if everything went well, but it happened so quickly.
‘Union between humans and dwarves will be difficult.’ It really has nothing to do with me, but humans end up making mistakes like this. I erased the trail of Solas and myself before we left, activating the tape as soon as we finished tracking down the next group.
For the next thirty-eight hours, I moved, fought, and evacuated the dwarves. I have killed fifty-six Elakatra and saved four hundred and forty-eight dwarves in the end. There were five hundred and eighty-seven confirmed dwarf victims and nine hundred and thirty-eight on the human side. There was so much blood flowing that I wasn't sure I could block the elves' intrigue well.
But I managed to keep my identity a secret and form an alliance with the surviving dwarves.
