Chapter 55 – Another One (4)
==================
The Dark Elves used the ‘Anti Amnesia’ spell to rob Yushin’s subordinates of his memories in a way close to torture.
But it wasn’t easy.
It was because the subject of the witchcraft had strong mental resistance.
‘No problem. No matter how strong a person is, they won’t be able to withstand mental attacks.’
Dark Elf.
Called the Shadow Clan, they are a group of fanatics who worship the priest as a living god.
There was a time when I lost the god I worshiped.
That’s why the Dark Elves have handled their missions in a more violent and extreme way. That loyalty was such that even Ilaina was astonished. In order not to repeat their miserable mistakes again, they did whatever they thought was for the priest.
‘After reading the memories of the humans, I just need to massage their minds again to erase their memories. We can erase the very fact that we came to Santander Castle.’
Is Yushin Gilead the Demon King Slayer of the Holy Empire?
The Dark Elves attacked Yushin’s subordinates to find the answer.
Ilayna had just entrusted the search for the Other Ones abroad to the Dark Elves. However, the Dark Elves moved alone without reporting to the priest as soon as Gilead, the god of restoration, determined that the demon king slayer was certain. Because the head of the priest was still young, he thought he wouldn’t allow radical tactics.
“Geugh, ghah!!”
Isana let out a scream.
Resisting mental interference is very painful.
If she just accepted the mental interference, it would end at the point where her memories were taken without pain, but Isana desperately resisted and tried to endure the mental interference to the end.
“Don’t be stupid. We are good at witchcraft. Human, your resistance is meaningless.”
The Dark Elf woman whispered.
But Isana refused.
So did her other colleagues. All resisted to the end and put the Dark Elves in trouble.
The Dark Elves frowned at the unexpected stubbornness. Mental resistance like that of humans can be pierced at any time. However, if the mental interference is attempted more vigorously here, there is a risk that the target will die. It was a setback to the Dark Elves’ plan to disappear without leaving a trace.
“Not… , Okay… ! Ugh… !!”
Isana moved greatly.
Blood flowed from her mouth.
She herself bit her tongue. She knew how to break the law, as if she had experienced mental attacks.
She frees herself from mental interference by inflicting pain on her body. It was a very ignorant method, but it was the best method that an ordinary person who was unfamiliar with witchcraft could do. At Isana’s extreme act of trying to free herself from mental interference through her pain, the Dark Elf woman swallowed her drool.
“This guy is the boss. Other guys don’t know, but this guy definitely knows the inside story. I have to bring out my memory in order to find evidence related to the Demon King Slayer.”
Following the Dark Elf woman, other Dark Elves also approached Isana.
She attempted mental interference by force.
The Dark Elves were unstoppable, although Isana, who lay beneath her, screamed as if she were about to die and vomited her blood.
I’ll have to somehow find out information related to the Demon King Slayer. The Shadow Clan does not tolerate failure. The dark elf woman, overconfident in her own magic, pushed her to her utmost limits and then tried to steal her memories from Isana.
“Keuk-kuk, kuk-kuk!! Hee hee hee-!!”
The subordinates who continued to resist, including Isana, coughed and trembled all over.
Any more is dangerous.
The Dark Elves, who had sucked out the memories related to Gilead, hurriedly withdrew their hands.
It was the same with Dark Elf women. She hurriedly removed her hand from Isana’s forehead. Then Isana’s face, which had been sweating coldly as she suffered from her pain, returned to peace. In the end, unlike his other comrades, he did not lose his memory from the Dark Elves. He endured mental interference close to torture for dozens of minutes.
“A terrible bastard.”
Amnesia was activated.
Contrary to anti-amnesia, which forcibly brings out memories, it is a sorcery that erases the opponent’s memory.
Erase the memories of humans.
With this, the Dark Elves became ghosts that never attacked the Santander family. Because magic that deals with memories was a long-term skill of the Dark Elves, there were no mistakes in the process.
“You haven’t been caught in Santander, have you?”
“Yes, of course. Now that the amnesia is over, all that remains is to withdraw.”
“Withdraw the warp gate personnel.”
“All right.”
In the hands of the Dark Elves, there was a black glowing orb.
It crystallized the stolen memories.
Since it is risky to transmit the vast memories of others directly into the mind of the caster, the Dark Elves carried the stolen memories with the ‘Memory Vessel’.
“Withdraw!”
The moment the Dark Elf woman ordered,
The intact wall crumbled at once, and a blue-haired woman appeared.
“Uh, uh….”
Before the Dark Elf with the Memory Vessel could let out a scream, the fist of the Nanin tribe closed his mouth.
The fist filled with monstrous power hit.
The Dark Elf, who was allowed to attack from the front, collapsed on the floor with his body bent in an L shape.
“What are you guys?”
Allen asked.
He approached the Dark Elves with red blood dripping down his fists.
From the space where the warp gate is located to the place where Yushin’s subordinates are, he collapsed all the walls blocking his way and broke through in a straight line. The Dark Elves were astonished when they saw countless holes beyond the hole in the wall.
“What?”
Allen, who witnessed Yushin’s men lying on the floor, gave off a sense of intimidation.
The Dark Elves grabbed my chest.
The surrounding mana began to flow backwards.
It was a very fatal attack for the Elf race, who breathed with their whole body and drew mana.
“Don’t think about going back alive.”
Allen loosened the necklace from around her neck.
She returned to her human form.
The Dark Elves shook her shoulders at Allen’s sudden change from a roman to a human.
I’ve never heard of a strong man like this in the Santander family. It was clear that she was hiding her identity. Even though the Dark Elves were a armed group that displayed power comparable to that of the Elf country’s warriors when they launched a pincer attack, they were trembling at the sudden appearance of a human.
“I’ll rip you limb from limb, you bastards.”
Allen held out her hand.
Then, as the air distorted, a huge greatsword appeared.
Dragon Chaser.
Like the lightning sword of Yushin, the famous sword of Valois, which is only given to the seven swords of the kingdom, has appeared.
* * *
It was already over when Alone, accompanied by Leticia and the knights of Santander Castle, arrived.
The Dark Elves were all down.
There were many people who fell with their limbs bent in the direction they shouldn’t have been, and there was also a Dark Elf whose face was so bloody that it was difficult to recognize.
The Dark Elves, who thought it would be difficult to beat Allen, tried to escape. But that attempt ended in failure.
“Come on, move the instructors!”
“Healer! Get a therapist!”
The knights of Santander began to move in perfect order.
He carried Yushin’s men on his back.
All of them were in a state of fainting, perhaps because they were relentlessly attacked by mental interference.
“Thank you, Lady.”
“Please lie down for a while, because the aftermath of mental interference will keep you awake.”
Isana, who was lying on the floor, tried to raise her body, but Leticia stopped her.
It was Leticia who healed Isana’s wounds. She wasn’t very good at healing magic, but it wasn’t difficult for her to heal the wounds she had bitten herself. Since the only one who knew how to use healing magic right away was Leticia, she cured all of her Yushin’s subordinates by herself.
“Ah, uncle… ! It’s okay… ?”
Alone asked in a trembling voice.
His voice was full of sadness.
When she came to Santander Castle with Yushin, Yushin’s subordinates took good care of her. Alone was a weak character, and she was heartbroken to see them haggard.
“I am not uncle. At least it’s my brother….”
“Oh, what to do! You must have hurt your head!”
“…….”
It hurt her heart rather than her head.
Hearing Alone’s harmless vitriol, Hekkadi turned her head away as she smiled bitterly.
Yushin’s subordinates who were attacked by the Dark Elves were relatively unharmed. However, his wounded pride did not seem to recover easily. Even though they were non-combatants, it was very painful to know that they were subdued by the Dark Elves without even being able to resist properly.
“Thank you, driver.”
Leticia said to Allen.
In gratitude, Allen crumpled her face and turned her around.
“Thank you, Sir Allen.”
“Thank you for living. I almost got caught up in my embarrassing past.”
Yushin’s subordinates said.
The Dark Elves made fun of their memories.
Not only the faint memories of childhood, but even the memories of yesterday.
Except for the memories related to the Yushin, all the memories in my head were forcibly pulled out. Precious memories, memories you want to forget. All memories were exposed to the Dark Elves. I couldn’t help but feel very dirty from the position of the victim.
“Keuk….”
The dark elf woman who had been casting spells as if torturing Isana let out her groans.
She’s not dead yet
The other Dark Elves did the same.
Even though the limbs are completely broken. Even though she bled to an extent that exceeded her lethal dose, she did not die. Dark elves were stronger than elves with physical abilities superior to humans. Surprisingly, even the seriously injured Dark Elf, whose broken bones were digging into his intestines, did not die and was breathing weakly.
“Dark Elves, they are the Shadow Clan under the control of the Priestess! If you dare to raid my castle, I will contact the other nobles and hold the priest responsible!”
Vilen vented her anger at the atrocities of the Dark Elves who raided her castle.
Vilen Santander, who leads a family called the Golden Santander, considered the infringement of his property and rights his greatest shame.
Yushin’s subordinates. They are the property of Santander, slaves bought in Pamplona for a large sum of money. The Dark Elves who hurt them couldn’t forgive the priest who was supposed to be behind them. Vilen gnashed his teeth as fury spewed out of his eyes.
“Turn these damn kites into monster food right away!”
Vilen shouted.
His anger was directed at the fallen Dark Elves covered in blood.
He was genuinely furious.
Because they were thieves who touched the family’s asset, the slaves. Assets have been damaged. Right was violated. For Villen, who cherishes the family’s assets, the slaves, this incident was the worst disgrace that could never be taken lightly.
“What about the teacher? If I knew this, I would never be alone….”
“In the palace of Maherit. The priest called.”
“Dark elves attacked while you were having an audience with the priest? The front and back don’t match. I know that the Dark Elves tried to dig up after you, but why now…. If the head priest had really wanted to negotiate, he would never have committed such a radical act.”
“I guess I thought you wouldn’t get caught.”
At Leticia’s words, Alone showed a very insignificant reaction.
Unlike Leticia, who wanted to know the whole story of the incident, Alone was worried about Yushin, who would find out that her men were attacked by the Dark Elves.
“But who are you? Seeing as he doesn’t have a choker, he’s not a slave. I’m a human, not a slave…. I understand that he is a person related to the Yushin Gilead.”
Billen asked Allen.
I was grateful that he had dealt with all the Dark Elves who attacked the castle, but I was concerned about the identity of Allen, who subdued the Dark Elves, who had the power to neutralize even a warrior commander, like playing with children.
