Chapter 57 – Options (2)
==================
Explode
Is about to explode
Ardena felt uneasiness pierce her chest like a dagger.
The current Yushin was like a thundercloud right before it struck. Perhaps her men are in a frenzy over being ambushed. Because he was a person who cared deeply for his subordinates. Wasn’t one of the reasons he stayed in the elven country was for his subordinates?
“I am not. I’ve never given an order like that. You can’t commit such an irrational act in a situation where negotiations are ahead.”
Ileina waved her hand.
I know the reason for the misunderstanding. Because the authority to command the shadow clan belonged to the priest.
But she was completely unaware.
The Shadow Clan had been acting like unbridled foals ever since the second priest died young. Blind loyalty to the head priest was still the same, but he was suffering from the pain of committing lawlessness without covering his front and back.
“Shut up, you motherfucking bitch.”
Yushin raised his hand.
At the same time, Ardena, who placed her hand on her sword hilt, stood in front of Yushin.
Sensing the intent to kill, the warrior chiefs began to run. So did the other articles. All the female knights escorting the head priest surrounded Yushin.
“Don’t come closer. No, don’t move.”
Said Ardena as she distorted her face.
Didn’t want to fight
It’s not because he’s strong. He was an Ardena who always kept his cool, but he was not so cold-blooded as to wield a sword without hesitation at his opponent who had been with him for a long time.
But he couldn’t help it. If he eventually shows hostility to the new chief, he will only fight for his life as the warrior chief of the elven country.
“Move.”
Yushin said.
The stigmata started on his shoulder and traveled down his neck to his face.
Parss.
Blue thunderbolts spread out in all directions as if protecting Yushin’s body. As it burned more and more sharply, it expressed hostility. The thunderbolt that flew right in front of her eyes forced Ileina to throw away her leisurely appearance and jump up from her chair.
“Even now it is not too late. Take it now.”
Ardena said while biting her teeth.
She drew her sword.
With the sharp blade hanging down, he restrained Yushin.
It’s not too late. It could be something that didn’t exist now. Of course, there would be a lot of backlash, but he was in a situation that could be alleviated if he personally stood up and defended himself. So, Ardena sincerely hoped that Yushin would not cross the last line.
“I told you, Ardena. I’m in the country of elves for the sake of my men. As long as the lives of my subordinates are threatened by your species, there is no reason for me to help the Elven country or stay with you.”
Yushin put his hand on his choker.
Then he grabbed the choker like he was about to tear it off by force.
“Stop…. Stop right now!!”
Ardena shouted.
When a slave engraved with the seal of obedience tries to forcibly remove the choker from his neck, the spell is activated.
Before Ardena could reach out to stop her, Yushin tore off her choker halfway in an instant. The choker, which had suffered close to half damage, automatically activated the spell. It had nothing to do with her master’s will. This is because the choker has a trigger that triggers a spell when receiving more than a certain amount of damage.
“You elves broke the promise first.”
Kwagwagwagwak!!
An electric shock struck Yushin’s body.
The electric shock, which started from the neck, hit Yushin’s head first, followed by his entire body.
Slaves who are forcibly released from obedience are killed with a large amount of electric current. My tongue stuck out at the wickedness of the elves who electrocuted their slaves without mercy. Of course, it was a technology that started with humans, but the elves who repay what humans had done in the past were no different from humans.
“I ripped off my choker myself… ?”
“Normally, it would have to burn to the brain.”
Even though Yushin took off his choker and received the price of the spell, he was fine.
To be immersed in pain for a while,
Yushin, freed from the oppression of the choker, showed a normal appearance. Rather, the current applied by the choker was blown out and completely flowed out.
“Shinjangnim… !”
Sharp bolts of lightning shot out in all directions, aiming at the high priest.
Ardena interrupted.
Slashing down with the blade, he cut through her lightning.
However, it seemed that it was impossible to completely counteract her electric shock, so she inflicted a scorched wound on Ardena’s shoulder. Had she been alone with Ardena, there would have been no harm to her. However, because she had to block it with her body to protect Ileina, who was only at the normal level, she inevitably suffered her wounds.
“…….”
Looking at Ardena with her injuries, Yushin hesitated for a moment.
However, he soon turned his head.
Because now he doesn’t want to get involved anymore.
Through this incident, Yushin came to think that if he became deeply involved in the country of elves, his subordinates might be in danger. After once again expressing his refusal to the priest, Yushin turned his head away from Ardena as well.
“Ugh!”
“Oh, stop… !”
The elven knights who were besieging Yushin shouted with their swords raised.
However, his hands gripping the hilt were trembling pitifully.
The opponent is the Demon King Slayer.
It has unbelievable power to the extent that it frees itself from the choker’s spell. The elven knights who saw Yushin spewing out swirling thunderbolts took a step back each time he approached.
“The sin of daring to harm the priest deserves to die!”
“Sister!”
Warrior leader 9 Seok, Seira Leon raised his sharp rapier and aimed it at Yushin.
Emily Leon, who was the 10th warrior leader and Seira Leon’s twin sister, tried to restrain her sister with a trembling voice.
The opponent is the Demon King Slayer. A hero who accomplished the feat of subduing the tyrannical demon lord, Agares. Emily thought her sister Seira’s actions were reckless and reckless, because she knew that there was no way her sister would win against the Demon King Slayer.
‘Damn it, I know! But if we just let that human go, what will our face be like? ! If I had known it would be a bomb like this, Urhel Village would have just sent it to the Valois!’
Seira’s legs trembled.
However, while trying to calm his trembling legs, he blocked Yushin’s path.
I am the warrior chief of the Elf country.
A knight who swore to sacrifice his life for the priest.
It was Seira who tried to run at Yushin as if she were going to commit her suicide attack, but she was forced to fall behind her after being restrained by Reina, who shouted her ensuing cry.
“Just let go! Enough!”
I didn’t want to turn the Demon King Slayer into an enemy.
Of course, negotiations have already gone over the water.
I could feel the malice toward the elves in his eyes.
Any bitterness mingled with anger was in danger of turning into hatred at any moment. So, Ilayna restrained all the warrior commanders and knights who stood in the way of Yushin and forced them to retreat.
“Everything is a mess…. Everything went back to nothing I’m going to get rid of the Dark Elves who are the culprits of this right now.”
Watching Yushin leave without hesitation, Ilayna tousled her hair and let out a deep sigh filled with deep anger.
Have the demon lord slayer face the heat wave demon lord, Savnak.
The plan went awry.
Without the help of the demon king slayer, you cannot win the war against the demon king army. If he mobilized all the warriors, he could win against the demon king’s followers, but there was no way to kill the immortal demon king. If Savnak moves directly, the capital will be engulfed in a sea of fire.
“It’s okay to hurt… ? I’ll get a therapist.”
“I am okay….”
Ardena reached out and picked up a fragment of her choker as she reached out.
Her electric shock severely injured her shoulder. Even with her healing magic in her haste, her wounds were deep enough to leave scars on her.
The high elf warrior chief endured his pain by biting his teeth. The smell of burning meat lingered. She continued to feel the burning pain, but she couldn’t show any signs of pain because she was in front of the priest.
“I will later… , I will try to convince you again.”
As Ardena forced herself to suppress her pain, she tried to be unconcerned with Ilaina.
* * *
After the fact that the Dark Elves attacked Santander Castle was known, Ilayna had to face a lot of criticism from the Yetzirah Council and local nobles.
Even as it became known that the negotiations with the Demon King Slayer had ended in failure due to that incident, the priest’s influence, which had soared higher day by day, hit the bottom, and on the contrary, the Yetzirah Council seized power again due to Ilaina’s loss.
“The high priest’s nose finally broke.”
“But I am worried. Isn’t the demon king of the heat waves continuing to gather forces?”
“I agree with the priest’s opinion that our country of elves needs a demon king slayer. Let’s wait for good news as we put a flue in Santander Castle, which is believed to be the place where the demon slayer is located.”
The High Elf nobles who came out of the closed conference room spoke in a loud voice.
The nobles of the Yetzira Council tried to contact the Yushin, who disappeared after causing a disturbance in the royal palace of Maherit.
He is an enemy who threatens the head priest.
However, the High Elf nobles were very supportive of Yushin’s actions. I cheered him on from the bottom of my heart. In the end, it was because he was able to break the priest’s power and regain the reputation and authority of the Yetzirah Council thanks to his rampage.
“Even so, I didn’t like the Shadow Clan blindly following the priest. It fell to the ground at the same time as the priest’s power, so isn’t it really like eating a pheasant and eating an egg?”
“The only thing left is the Demon King Slayer….”
Due to this incident, the demon king slayer must have felt a lot of irritation in the elven country.
He must turn his heart.
Clever nobles tried to seek reconciliation by contacting Yushin.
A hero who obeys the Council’s orders and punishes the Council’s enemies. For him, the aristocrats offered better conditions than Ileina had put on Yushin. Promise that if you subdue the demon lord of the heat wave, you will hand over a part of the territory currently occupied by the demon lord as a fief, along with a promise that you will hand over goods that you will never use in your lifetime, and even rare weapons stored in the treasury of the royal castle of Maherit. Did.
“The Demon King Slayer is no longer a slave to the Valencian family. Didn’t you cut off your choker yourself? This will mean that I will soon cut off from the Valencian family.”
“Seeing that you’re staying in Santander Castle right now, it doesn’t mean that you have a link with them… ? If you use this, you will be able to have a positive effect on acquisition.”
Some nobles feared that the Restoration Gilead might return to the kingdom of Valois again.
But there was nothing to worry about.
It was because Yushin had already cut off relations with the kingdom of Valois.
Of course, after hearing the news from the Kingdom of Valois, they might make another offer, but the High Elf nobles were full of confidence that they could convince the Demon Lord Slayer before the Kingdom of Valois snatched it away.
“If I can convince the Demon King Slayer, I will give my daughter as his bride. I hope you will recognize my sacrificial spirit for the peace of the Council of Yetzirah.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t cut in the line!”
The nobles’ conversation gradually began to intensify.
An elf hurriedly ran towards the nobles who were talking noisily in front of the conference hall.
The elf was an attendant of the Santander family, and Vilen Santander had sent the attendant to deliver urgent news to the high elf nobles. The news brought by the attendant once again shook the palace of Maherit.
