Chapter 1011 – 1011. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
“A plague has spread in this forest.”
My mind instantly snapped to attention.
A plague.
In other words, an epidemic.
Even in modern times with advanced science and technology, an epidemic can cause a great deal of trouble once it takes hold. But a plague in a medieval fantasy world? It was a given that entire villages could be wiped out, and in severe cases, several cities could be destroyed.
Just because magic exists in this world doesn’t mean it’s a cure-all. Once a plague breaks out, it would take time to resolve.
I looked at the corpse again with serious eyes. Black spots bloomed on the pale skin, and the blood on the clothes suggested it was likely a case of hemoptysis.
‘I don’t know what kind of disease it is. But for a healthy man to die like this… it must have a high mortality rate.’
I sighed.
The advance of the Vitrase and the plague. Two things that didn’t happen in the original story were occurring simultaneously.
‘The Veliak elf village might be facing the worst situation right now.’
I mentally tapped on the keyboard in my head, trying to figure out how to respond.
“N-no way. A plague in this forest…! Th-then, what about the village…?!”
Elnoa was flustered. She grabbed her own hands, not knowing what to do, and stomped her feet. I placed my hand on her shoulder.
“Calm down. We don’t know the state of the Veliak village yet. This dead guy is a human corpse, not an elf. There’s a chance the Veliak village is safe.”
“Yujin is right. Treating plague patients is difficult for a mage, but preparing for the onset of a plague is not. Since it’s an elf village, there must be mages or spiritists. There’s a high possibility they’ve prepared for a plague.”
Elena spoke calmly. Elnoa seemed to have calmed down a bit at those words.
*Snap!*
Elena snapped her fingers. The corpse burst into flames.
“E-Elena-nim?!”
Elnoa was horrified by the sudden flames. Strangely, the flames only burned the corpse. It didn’t take long for the bones to turn to ashes.
“Burning the corpse of a plague victim is the best way. If you leave it alone, the plague can spread again quite frequently.”
I scanned their faces. Elnoa was very anxious, and Elena looked unhappy. Yuria was expressionless. She didn’t seem interested.
‘Hoo. Should I call this a relief? If I had brought the AM unit or other soldiers, it would have been a disaster.’
Unless they were knights who had reached the level of an expert, it would have been terrible if the plague had spread to ordinary soldiers.
‘Elnoa is a high-level spiritist, and Yuria and I are top-tier experts. Elena is an excellent mage and has complete recovery, so there’s no need to worry.’
Elena turned her gaze to Yuria.
“Yuria. If you can use runes, can you also use purification runes?”
“You want to eliminate any possible plague germs, right? I can use purification runes… but why are you asking me? Elena-nim, you can easily purify it, can’t you?”
“Actually, I already tried rune magic and failed. The reason is probably because this isn’t my world. I think I could do it if I practiced rune magic for a few days… but that’s too much trouble. And I want to see you use rune magic one more time.”
“It seems like purification is necessary anyway, so I’ll do it.”
Yuria poked her finger into the air and moved it gracefully. A total of three blue rune characters were drawn. The rune characters shone brightly and then burst. The particles of light disappeared as if they were seeping into the air.
The surrounding temperature dropped slightly, and the air felt much clearer. It felt refreshing.
“…You combined three rune characters. You’re already at an expert level.”
“I paid attention to safety, just in case.”
“How many times have you tried it?”
“This is the first time I’ve tried it, and I succeeded.”
Elena shook her head with a complicated expression. As Yuria’s master, I smiled proudly.
‘Yuria’s talent is insane!’
We walked through the forest again. Our steps stopped when the sun had completely set and a few hours had passed. The forest was so dark that it was hard to see even an inch ahead, and fighting monsters had unknowingly accumulated fatigue.
“I’m too sleepy. Let’s rest until sunrise. The sun will rise in about three or four hours.”
It was Elnoa who actively agreed with my opinion. Although she felt anxious, she wasn’t stupid. She was the most exhausted among us and knew the need for rest. Since she was guiding us, maintaining her condition was essential.
We set up a tent that I summoned in a suitable place. It was a tent large enough for four people.
“Let’s decide who will keep watch.”
“Yujin, there’s no need for that. We can use magic. Yuria, please engrave stealth runes and barrier runes around here.”
“…I’m sorry. Stealth and barrier runes are beyond my capabilities.”
“I see. I understand. I’ll set up a barrier.”
Elena moved. She held a staff made of illusion magic in her hand and drew a magic circle on the ground near the tent. But it didn’t seem easy, as she tilted her head and threw the staff away.
“Elena! Why are you suddenly being so irritable?”
“…This forest is strange, so magic doesn’t work as well as I thought. It’s better to prepare physically.”
Elena used illusion magic. Solid walls and a ceiling appeared around the tent. The material looked like metal, and it was over 30cm thick. There was a door on one side, and small holes in the middle of the walls to look outside.
I punched the wall with my fist.
‘I don’t know what material it is, but it’s definitely not ordinary steel. I won’t die with this.’
We simply removed the tent and laid out mats on the floor. Elnoa, who had led us to Veliak, was the first to lie down on the floor and fall fast asleep.
I also took a pillow and lay down on the floor. Elena and Yuria took their places next to me as if they had been waiting. Their scents wafted over me. My dick tingled in response.
“……”
My arms moved towards them. My right hand reached for Elena’s thigh, and my left hand touched Yuria’s ample chest.
“Sleep.”
Elena’s annoyed voice was heard. My right hand stopped moving on her thigh. Elena didn’t like having sex in front of others. The same went for sexual harassment.
‘When we’re alone, she doesn’t hesitate to say vulgar things….’
I moved my left hand. I massaged Yuria’s breast. The slight noise of my hand touching her clothes echoed.
“I said sleep.”
Elena’s voice was slightly annoyed. When I turned my head to the side, Elena had her eyes closed. I stopped with my hand on Yuria’s chest. I quietly waited for Elena to fall asleep.
About 10 minutes later, I heard Elena’s even breathing.
“Honey.”
Yuria called me in a very small voice in my ear. I shuddered slightly. Her voice was sweet, and her breath was delicious.
“You can do whatever you want with me. Touch me as you wish.”
I turned my head to the side. I met Yuria’s blue eyes. Her cheeks were slightly flushed. Her face was getting closer. It was obvious what she wanted.
*Grip.*
My cheek was grabbed by a soft hand from the right and forcibly turned. It was Elena. She looked at me and raised the corners of her mouth.
“Oh my. I told you to sleep.”
Before I could make an excuse, her lips covered mine. *Chomp, chomp.* It was intense, as if she was going to do it properly. Elena’s tongue invaded my mouth and rampaged around.
“……”
I could feel Yuria’s gaze. She wasn’t staying still either. With skillful hands, she took off my pants and grabbed my erect dick with her hand. The feeling of Yuria’s hand stroking my dick was getting more and more intense. Then, Elena’s hand suddenly appeared and massaged my balls. Yuria buried her head in my neck and kissed me.
They seemed to be competing with each other over me. I thought for a moment about what to do. The conclusion was quick. Let’s enjoy this moment.
And I received their caresses for four hours. Without sex.
Elnoa, who woke up late, blushed on both cheeks. She seemed to have noticed the situation to some extent.
‘The smell of semen is vibrating inside the walls, so it would be stranger if she didn’t know.’
I looked at Yuria and Elena. They were preparing to leave as if nothing had happened. Both of them were so neat that I couldn’t believe they were the women who had been teasing me so much.
“Master. I’ll help you.”
Yuria came over and straightened my clothes.
“Your hair is sticking up. How sloppy.”
Elena straightened my hair.
“……”
Elnoa quietly watched us.
We had a simple breakfast and then headed to the Veliak village.
We moved forward, killing the monsters that attacked us. We found several corpses of humans and elves. They had died from the plague, not from being killed by monsters.
Elnoa became impatient. Her pace quickened without her realizing it. I didn’t bother to point it out. If the plague had spread to the Veliak elf village, it would be beneficial for me to arrive as soon as possible.
“It’s late at night. Shall we rest here?”
“Master! It’s not much further! We’ll arrive at the Veliak village by morning!”
Elnoa said urgently. She seemed to want to keep moving without resting. No one was tired enough to need a rest, so we skipped the rest and headed to the Veliak village as Elnoa wanted.
And we arrived at the Veliak elf village on the morning of the third day.
The Veliak village, hidden deep in the Polangpe Forest, was large. It was natural, considering that the number of elves living there was over 6,000. However, the village was not lively. It had an atmosphere full of death everywhere.
“Who are you?”
As we entered the village, armed elves appeared from afar. There were 12 of them, and 2 of them were women. As expected of elves, they all had beautiful appearances, regardless of gender. They all had tired faces.
“Zegner-ssi!”
The platinum-blonde elf man in front of them widened his eyes.
Zegner. A character from the original story. The captain of the Veliak guard, he was a mid-level Aura Master.
“Elnoa?! You’ve returned. It seems you heard the news that the village was in danger and came looking. But what is that outfit? It looks like a maid’s uniform. And who are the humans behind you?”
Zegner was not happy about Elnoa’s return. He glared at us with wary eyes. I stepped forward. His gaze focused on me. My hand trembled slightly at the aura master’s pressure.
‘I’m instinctively shrinking back.’
The slight trembling disappeared as soon as I recognized it.
Elena was behind me. There was no problem even if a fight broke out.
“I am Yujin Prukerus. Elnoa’s master.”
“…Elnoa’s master? You, are you using Elnoa as a slave!”
Zegner shouted and drew his sword. The elves around him also drew their swords at once.
This was just a warning. Zegner drew his sword but didn’t swing it recklessly. It was probably because the atmosphere was strange to simply dismiss Elnoa as a slave.
“I am Baron Yujin Prukerus of the Rapelli Kingdom. Elnoa is a maid working under me, and I came to help you at her request.”
“…Why would a noble of the Rapelli Kingdom help Elnoa? What are you plotting?”
“Elnoa is a maid I cherish. I just granted her wish because she asked so earnestly.”
I put my arm around Elnoa’s shoulder. Elnoa was not flustered by the sudden skinship.
“Zegner-ssi! My master is right! I asked my master to help me! There’s a way since my master has come! Please let me meet the Elder!”
“……It’s not something I can decide. Follow me, I’ll guide you to the Elder.”
Zegner and the elves sheathed their swords. But that didn’t mean the wariness had disappeared. They kept their eyes wide open and were constantly wary of us.
“I’m warning you. Don’t do anything suspicious. Elnoa, that goes for you too.”
“…Yes. Zegner-ssi.”
Elnoa nodded as if she understood Zegner.
