The Greatest Assassin Trapped In The Novel World As An Antagonist
128.Saving the dark elves

At full speed the Skeleton Dragon flapped its wings rapidly and from a distance Ares could see the forest in question.

"Mary! is that the forest you mean?!."Ares yelled back.

since the Skeleton Dragon was a composite of various bones so its body was slightly dense, Mary sat behind it and narrowed her eyes looking at the forest that were pointed at.

The forest had dark foliage and seemed to be enveloped by the Darkness when viewed from above, Mary focused her vision of a place far from there and saw a vague village.

"Really sir! that's the place."Mary said.

Ares nodded then lowered his speed and landed in the forest, the forest now looks more frightening because the color of the tree is dominated by black and dark green, with the terrain that feels so humid.

they all descended from the skeleton dragon and looked at the area around them carefully, Mary descending cautiously as she was currently holding her two babies.

"...mmm..it looks the same as Leichnam forest but this forest feels more alive." he said while looking at the area around it filled with Trees.

"Yes, because this forest is indeed part of the Main forest so it can be understood."Clearly Mary while looking towards the dark elf village was.

From a great distance Ares could feel the thick smell of blood and life energy from someone who felt so weak, Ares told his subordinates to catch up with him as soon as possible while he would get there as soon as possible.

Ares at an unreasonable speed passed through the thick trees and like someone who knew the forest, several times he touched the trees to communicate with the tree and get the information. but along the way he found none of the trees that had any useful information.

"the smell of his blood is getting stronger, it's no mistake that I'm close!."Ares ran even faster and in an instant he reached the village..

The village whose house is made entirely of trees that are modified to be liveable, Ares knows this village will look beautiful if he is not late.

"I'm late, right?."Ares saw around him the bodies of dark elves who were pierced by swords or shot by arrows.

The corpses of the dark elves were mostly men who judging by their appearance seemed like they were warriors of this tribe, Ares saw a lot of dead bodies of dark elves scattered everywhere even there are corpses hanging on the Tree.

"Where is he? I feel someone here."He saw Kawkan and left.

he believed he felt the life energy around here but it felt so weak, Ares could conclude that he was dying.

"It's not time to bacot a lot now, use all the power you have."Ares spread his senses all over the place and could clearly see all the creatures and things that were there.

A three-dimensional map formed in his brain showing the entire forest and the place, Ares felt the life energy return and quickly jumped one of the badly damaged tree houses.

inside the tree house were several dark elf corpses piling up but, he could feel the life energy from the pile of dark elf corpses then pushed him and examined them.

"Here we go!."Ares exclaimed in pleasure.

he found a dark elf who was still alive even though he was dying"Just relax I will save you!.".he touched the dark elf's chest and felt his heartbeat even though weak.

"{ Full Recovery }!!!."Ares chanted the supreme recovery spell in his ring.The dark elf's body shone green for a moment and the wounds on his body closed quickly. within a few seconds, the entire wound was healed, but the MP and stamina were still drained.

Ares wiped his sweat off his forehead"Fyuuhh.I don't think he'll be helped anymore, thank God I have this ring."Ares smiled as he looked at the dark elf.

"Emmm... A female? or men?."Ares could not distinguish the gender of the dark elves in front of him, but Ares could feel something soft when he touched his chest earlier, and concluded that the dark in front of him was a woman (maybe? )

not long after his subordinates came in haste, they found dark corpses scattered where, everyone put on a bitter face except for Mary who looked very hit by the sight.

her legs felt so limp and fell on her knees, her tears flowing and she tried desperately to hold back her tears by tightly hugging the two babies in her cradle.

Ares came and calmed Mary down by telling her there were dark elves who survived, Mary was excited and immediately saw the condition of the dark elves and breathed a sigh of relief that the dark elves were still alive.

"What exactly is going on here? how could they be so cruel that their children were killed?."Yuto questioned the actions of the Elves who attacked this village.

The elves he heard from the stories were inversely proportional to what he saw now.

Damon rubbed Yuto's head next to him"That's how living things are, they will eat each other even the countrymen will also be eaten if it has been mastered greed, greed, even their own brothers would eat without thinking of anything."Damon shook his head.

Yuto wanted to ask more but seeing that the situation was impossible, they then made a noise to bury the dark elf corpses and give them a proper burial as they should.

*************

the dark elf got up and felt limp all over his body, the view felt so blurry and his head felt so dizzy.

"Still in the village, you're lucky to survive because you helped you quickly at the last moment."

A heavy and cold voice answered his question, he looked to his side and found the person dressed as a Mage. His robe was Obsidian black with a slight golden color and a hood covering his face.

"Who are you?"asked softly.

"I'm my master's subordinate and it's my job to take care of you for a while, rest first your body is still weak right now."

the man again answered the question, he looked around weakly and found him in the tree house.He looked at the Mage Panik.

"Where are the others?! where are the others?!."He gripped both shoulders of the mage.

"Sorry, when we got here we just found you dying.Nothing survived."The mage shook his head.

The dark elf was startled and put on a bitter face, he could not have guessed if the troops he led were all dead and only left him alone.

"Damn! what kind of leader am I?!."He cursed himself for not being able to defend his army.

Not long after a young boy came, he had fox-like ears with a few tails on his body.

"Sister, the food is ready!" the young man ran up to him and handed him a tray of food.

"Eat first, you need to eat to recover your stamina now."

"Thank you."He then ate the food on the tray, it tasted quite good and his strength gradually improved every time he ate it.

The mage nodded in satisfaction then got up and stood in the window of the room, he matched out the window accompanied by the young man.

"Yuto, have you made sure there are no bodies of Dark Elves left behind?."Ask the Mage.

The young man named Yuto nodded his head"Yes big brother! there are no corpses of Dark elves left if I search, and they are already buried properly!."

The mage nodded in satisfaction, the dark elf was still eating his food while looking at the two of them, the mage noticed it then said"It's a little late anyway, but it's fine. I'm Ulbert Heiliger Allerhochster while this boy is named Yuto Nagatomo.we're one of the subordinates of the Reverend tree of the world."He introduced himself.

Dark elves were startled and instantly woke up"Please forgive me if I was disrespectful just now!."He bowed his head, he did not think the man in front of him was apparently one of the subordinates of the World Tree Priestess.

"Aahh.. It's okay, I don't think too much about it. But if you may know who your name is?" asked Ulbert.

The dark elf quickly replied"My names are Eva Cassidy, I am the squad leader in charge of stalling for time so that others can escape, even if only I am left."Eva lowered her head.

Ulbert quickly understood, he walked up to her and patted her on the head and said"Eva thanks for fighting so far, now you don't have to worry because my Master and your Queen are now on their way to save the other Dark Elves."Ulbert rubbed his head.

Eva seemed to not understand the meaning of the word 'Ratumu' that Ulbert mentioned just now, she asked him and Ulbert explained briefly. Eva is shocked to hear that the queen she serves survived the incident and she cries because the Queen did not leave them alone.

****************

While it was deep in the jungle, Ares, Damon, Eizen and Mary were rushing to follow the footprints they found with Magic. according to Ares, these footprints have only been left for a few hours because they still smell around here.

"The footprints we saw first were the footprints of the group of Dark elves who had escaped, while the footprints we saw afterwards were the footprints of the Elves who were chasing them. these footprints are new, so chances are they're not too far from here."He said while running.

Damon and Eizen nodded in agreement, while Mary put on a worried face while holding her two babies. based on these footprints, he could conclude that the dark elves had fled in a hurry to leave many traces that could be traced.

"Mary, don't worry too much."Damon who was running beside her looked at her worriedly, this was obviously because Mary looked very worried about the state of the dark elves group.

Mary only uses a listless response to Damon's words, Damon sighs heavily at Mary while Eizen focuses on looking at the area around her.

a few minutes they ran and they found several dark elf corpses, the bodies of Dark elves being burned by the elves who killed them.

Damon squinted his eyes at the burnt corpses of the dark elves"They died from being stabbed by a sword or hit by an arrow, I don't know the reason they were burned but I think this is good enough for prevention, because these bodies could have spread disease at the time of decay."He said as he watched the burnt corpses of the dark elves.

Ares and Eizen frowned at Damon's words, how could he be like that in front of his sad partner.

Mary who saw this only smiled lethargicly, and with magic made a burrow and buried them properly.

After that they resumed their journey following the trail that the elf troops left behind.
