E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 140 - Agreement

The sun's light has risen.

The silver-haired Elf woman had also been awake for a long time. Putting her stuff in a big enough bag.

After everything was put in the bag, He lifted the body of the Man with both hands in front of his body.

The man had brownish hair with mostly burnt skin. But most of those wounds had been healed thanks to the spirit magic used by that Elf woman.

It's just....

"When are you gonna wake up, Hyume?" He asked the man who had lost his left hand. The same with the left eye that is gone.

That man is none other than Leo himself. The one found by the Elf woman at the center of the blue fire explosion.

The big explosion certainly provoked the attention of many people. Including this Elf woman. Where he decided to look closely and found a human figure lying in the middle.

After being convinced that the Man was not a Devil, and convinced that He was still alive, the Elf immediately saved him with spirit magic and took him away from the scene.

Now....

'Sruuggs!'

After arriving at one of the hills with the burned trees, the Elf woman again put Leo's body to the ground.

"Wait a minute, I'll find something to eat." Said the Elf woman while leaving immediately. Leaving Leo alone in the silence of this lifeless forest.

......***......

Several days continued to pass with the Elf woman's daily life unchanged. Keep walking away from the battlefield little by little. Heading to the southernmost region of this Elf Continent.

He continues to feed Leo potluck food and give him drinks as is.

Despite his unconsciousness, Leo's body still responds quite well to the food and drink he is given.

Until one day....

"Ughhhh...."

Leo began to open his eyes slowly. His gaze was still a little blurry, with darkness all around him.

At the first moment, Leo realized that his left arm had been severed. And left only a small part of the rest of the arm on his elbow that was now wrapped in a thick cloth.

Including his body which was now filled with various wounds. But apart from all that....

There was only one thing that stole his entire attention at this moment.

The figure of an Elf with long, beautiful silver hair, who was sitting facing the bonfire.

Immediately, Leo tried to call and reach for him.

"Se.... Lene.." -...."

But when the Elf woman turned her head, Leo realized from his dream. The woman before him was far different from what he expected.

With slightly darker skin and a sharp gaze, the Elf woman turned her head.

"Hyume, you're finally awake." Say that Elf.

With a slightly disappointed face, Leo immediately spoke. Ask about the situation around him.

"Who are you? And.... Where'sisthis? Am I dead?" Ask Leo.

But the reply he got seemed to pierce Leo's previous disappointment.

"I'm sorry if I'm not the person you expected, Hyume. My name is Narlaik Crogarish, a Dark Elf. We're on Vastarishk hill, and we're not. You're not dead." Clearly the woman who turned out to be a Dark Elf was.

Right now, Leo's mind was still thinking a lot about his current situation. After a while, Leo concluded that the Elf race had been decisively defeated. So too with Leo's army.

In other words.... He no longer had a chance to return to the territory of Man. Not with a ship that may have been burned down by the Devil nation. Or a city that is heavily guarded by the Devil nation.

And finally, Leo decided to do whatever he could in this place. Returning his mind to what was before him, Leo asked again.

"Dark Elves? Whatisit? And also, Hyume?"

For Leo, who had gained access to the world's many scientific books, he had never heard of a real Dark Elf.

Several times, he came across literature that explained the theory of their existence. But there was never any evidence for the existence of Dark Elves in this world.

"simply put.... We are an Elf race that was expelled by the Sacred Tree, losing most of the blessings from it. As for Hyume, it's just a call we use to call Human." It was clearly the Dark Elf.

"Based by the Sacred Tree?"

During this time, Leo only knew that the sacred tree was one of the objects of wonder in this world. Which drains enormous amounts of Mana energy.

He had no idea that the sacred tree was a living thing that could think. It even has the ability to drive someone away.

Leo then realized that he had not yet introduced his name.

"Well, my name is Leo. How should I call you?"

"just that? I heard Hyume has a complicated name rule. To me, you can call me Narla. It's easier on the human tongue, right?" Reply to the Dark Elf.

"Narla yes.... I thank you so much for helping me. And it's true, my full name is Alexander Leonardo von Rustellia."

Hearing Leo's full name explanation, Narla no longer seemed to be able to hold back her laughter.

"Pff! Ahaha! What kind of name is that? Are you sure that's not the name of your 4 ancestors?" Reply Narla while laughing lightly.

"Of course it's my name!"

After a laugh that lightened this dark atmosphere, Narla immediately returned to the main topic of discussion that she wanted to discuss with Leo.

"God.... Leos. The big explosion that happened before.... Don't tell me it was your doing?" Ask Narla curiously.

At first, Leo was a little hesitant to give an actual answer. But would he lie to the person who had been taking care of him for the past few days?

Of course not. Therefore, whatever happens, he will explain everything honestly.

"You're right. It was one of the man-made high-level magic, Sacrificial Deed. With that magic, I sacrificed the Mana Core from my own body to produce that huge explosion." Clearly Leo in detail.

Narla, on the other hand, seemed to be listening to him carefully. Stay with the distinctive sharp gaze he has.

"So so. That explains why your body rejects Mana energy like that." Narla replied briefly as she turned her gaze to the sky.

After being silent for a while, Narla spoke to Leo again.

"Say, Leo. Did i.... Could use? The explosion's magic." Asked Narla who looked a little broken in conveying it.

Without knowing what he will do, Leo can only give an objective answer.

"As long as you can read the Runes, and have the Mana Core to sacrifice, I think you can use it as well." Reply Leo.

A thin smile adorned his face with that slightly dark skin. And now, with a more gracious gaze than before, Narla also replied to a word from Leo.

"Good to hear. If you don't mind, can you teach it to me? I'll repay your kindness with whatever you want. Just say it."

Of course, Leo felt a little suspicious of this request from Narla. Including his motivation.

Unfortunately, Leo, who had lost all of his Mana Core, could no longer use any magic. Including magic [Clairvoyance] who has always been his mainstay to judge others.

Even so....

"Are you sure of your offer?" Leo asked with a faint smile on his face.

Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Narla immediately replied to him.

"of course. What do you want? My money? I'll give you everything. My powers? I'll help you achieve whatever you want. My bodies? I will be happy to give it.

Whatever as long as you teach me to use that blast magic. I won't hesitate to give you anything in return, as long as I can afford to."

Leo then decides to ask what Narla's true motivation is. And what he wanted to do with that magic.

"A very interesting offer. Of course I'll take it. But before that, what do you want to do with that magic?"

Quickly, Narla replied.

"Killing the damn Demon King who has ravaged our land. That's all."

Now, with a wider smile, Leo immediately extended his right hand towards Narla.

"In human culture, shaking hands signifies the agreement of both parties on a matter. If you shake my hand, then you'll fulfill what you said about the offer.

And myself. I'll teach you how to use that blast magic. And maybe.... Makes it much stronger than what I had before."

Narla thought for a moment before shaking the man's hand. But he was very sure that there were no lies in his words. Hence....

'Tapp!'

The Dark Elf immediately shook Leo's right hand with a smile on his face.

"Please help, Leo."

"Me too, please help. Narla."

In the distance, in a very strange and remote place, without a single person knowing....

A deal that looks simple has happened.

Which later, will be one of the biggest movers in the war between the world against the devil.
