Chapter 61 – Promise With the Elves (4)
Elune explained to Fram what happened today.
The sealed Spider awakens.
An organization called Void appeared.
Summoning a new demon here using Dinah equipment.
A person merging with a demon.
As Elune continued her story, Fram’s expression changed moment by moment.
“Hmm… That’s all that happened today?”
“That’s right. And it’s my sister’s group that solved it all. In particular, Yuria and Rien have the same heroic power as Dinah.”
Elune said, pointing to Yuria and Lien.
“A hero… That’s interesting, Elune. Are you telling me to believe this story that I haven’t heard in a long time?”
“I admit that it is definitely a story that is hard to believe, but this is something that happened today without any lies.”
Even in Fram’s situation, it is understandable that it is difficult to believe this after hearing this story right away.
The stories they come up with are absurd.
Looking at Fram, Elune is trying hard to explain what happened and asking him to trust her.
“Fram, as I tell you, I believe what happened today was like a dream, or even a nightmare. It’s understandable that you don’t believe it right away, but please believe me.”
“Elune, if what you say is true, these two people defeated Spider and other demons, but I don’t understand the fact that they did something that even Dinah and Kaisha couldn’t do before.”
Is the name Kaisha the name of a game character summoned to Postrim?
“Then all we have to do is show that power?”
Lien, who was listening to the two’s story, came forward and spoke.
“You… Are you Lien? To be honest, you are a warrior like Kaisha and you need the equipment she used, so even if you ask for it, we say, ‘Yes, it’s here.’ “It’s true that the cycle is ambiguous, right?”
“Then how can I prove it so I can believe it?”
After hearing Lien’s story, Fram spoke as if he had been waiting.
“Of course, you just have to show us what you did today to deal with the demon!”
“Fram! What are you talking about? You’re not saying that we can trust you until these people capture the Spider sealed in Postrim, right?”
Oh, is the demon that appears here also a spider?
“But other than that, there’s no way we can trust it, right? From what I heard today, it seems like you’re much stronger than Dinah or Kaisha. Isn’t this enough to do?”
From the look on Fram’s face, it seems like he’s provoking us because he believes we can’t do it.
If you’re lying, are you saying tell me right now?
“Good. That’s no problem. Right, Yuria, Lien?”
The reason I had a hard time in today’s battle was simply because Void’s bastard fused with Bael and Spider, resulting in overlapping patterns or movements that weren’t what they were supposed to be.
In fact, even if there were two demons, if Yuria and Lien had marked one each, they would have been dealt with without difficulty.
One spider like that would be no problem.
“Of course, my lord. Just leave it to me.”
“Eh. I’m fine too, sister. I’ll take care of it!”
Both of them are very motivated.
“Is he really a hero? He’s not afraid at all when he catches Spider.”
“Didn’t I tell you… I’m sorry, Jinu. I’ve troubled you.”
I shook my head at Elune’s words.
“Anyway, if there is a Demon presence here, it would be better to deal with it now. Void could come here targeting Spider like today. Anyway, it is a good thing. It is better to deal with it while it is here. Then, Lien, you are the Spider. Can you take care of it?”
I asked Lien for a favor.
When Lien heard what I said, her eyes widened and she lowered her head towards me.
“Thank you, my lord. You chose me.”
“Eh~. Jinu, I can fight too.”
As she stroked Yuria’s head as she hugged me about the fact that she wasn’t chosen, she quietly approached Yuria’s ear and whispered.
“Here, I thought it would be better to show that our strength is overwhelming, so it would be better for one person to fight, so I chose only Lien. And Lien wants to show herself active in front of me, right? It is true that she did well in the battle with Void today, but she must fight alone. “It’s ambiguous to say I did it, so I’m giving you a chance this time.”
“Um… Okay! If that’s what Jinu thinks, there’s nothing we can do.”
It seems that Yuria also heard and understood what I said.
“Then Lien, surprise me with your power.”
“Yes! I will do my best to take it down!”
Fram is looking at us with a doubtful expression, as if he still doesn’t trust us.
“Is it really possible? If it’s fake, tell me now. You can’t unseal the spider and seal it again.”
Perhaps Fram thought that if we fight Spider, if we are fake, we will run away.
“They’ll probably be able to take down Spider easily. You don’t have to worry about that.”
“Elune, if you said that, it wouldn’t be a lie… I honestly don’t believe it.”
It’s not that Fram and his thoughts are incomprehensible.
They say that the person who suddenly comes is a hero and can easily defeat the spider that was barely sealed, but how can you believe it?
Fortunately, Elune, who I used to know, came to me and explained it to me, so I guess I half believed it.
We left Fram’s house and went to a remote corner of Postlim.
Perhaps this is Moing, the place where Spider is sealed.
As Elder Postrim moved to the sealed place, other guard elves followed him.
“What on earth is going on, Elder? Why are you going with an outsider to this sealed place?”
“I heard from Elder Arestel. He said that maybe those people are heroes. I’m going to check if it’s true.”
The elves who heard Fram’s story jumped in surprise.
“What do you mean? You’re breaking the seal on that ridiculous monster!”
“I honestly don’t believe it either. But if it weren’t for what Elune said, I would have kicked her out a long time ago. But Elune isn’t the type of person to talk nonsense about something like this. It doesn’t look like she’s being manipulated by anyone.”
This is a natural reaction since the elves here cannot trust us.
“Don’t worry, everyone. The warriors even killed the spiders in our village.”
“You mean that monster… I can’t believe it.”
Regardless, Lien followed Fram and walked to the place where Spider was sealed.
“I wish I could check one more thing before breaking the seal. I can’t just trust Elune’s words and break it. Can you really catch Spider? And that on your own?”
“No problem. Spiders are no match for me.”
After hearing Lien’s words, Fram glanced at an elf nearby and accepted a stone.
“Then, simply show your strength with this. This is mithril, which is often used in powerful armor. When we first met Kai’Sa, we couldn’t believe his strength for a moment, so we tested it with this mithril.”
Fram handed over the mithril to Lien and continued her words.
“It’s simple to do. No matter what you do, just hit this mithril surface and crush it. How about that, can you do it?”
“Give it to me. It’s a simple task.”
Lien held her mithril in one hand.
“What are you doing? You look like a martial artist, but you’re supposed to hit the ground with your fists?”
Lien stays still, holding her mithril in her hand, as if ignoring Fram’s words.
“Under!”
As Lien let out her energy and strengthened her hands, her mithril changed shape as if her clay was distorting to fit the shape of her hands.
“Now, is this okay?”
“Uh… Uh. You can crush Mithril with just your grip… Is what Elune said true?”
Fram looked at the mithril she had received from Lien in disbelief.
“Now, unseal the spider. I will destroy it in an instant.”
“Okay. Then I will unseal it.”
Fram went to the center of what looked like a clearing and started chanting something he couldn’t figure out.
After some time, the floor began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred, and soon a spider broke through the floor.
When the spider appeared, all the elves who were waiting for Fram became agitated and began to scurry.
Lien says she’s just hoping for Spider to come out.
Spider also saw that Lien was around her and immediately flew out her tentacles.
Lien easily dodged her Spider’s attack and she used 〈 Shunbo 〉 to move near her Spider.
As Lien got closer, Spider tried to spread the distance between her by spitting out her venom from her mouth, but Lien easily dodged and took a stance in front of her Spider’s stomach.
〈 Self-denying technique (極技) Shout Hwangpa Cheon Fist (霸皇破天拳) 〉
Bang!
Lien’s fist pierced the spider’s stomach, sending the spider flying to the edge of the clearing.
The area of her abdomen where Lien was hit has already formed a hole and blood is pouring out.
Lien didn’t even give her Spider a chance to rest and lunged again, planting her fists in succession.
Spider struggled under Lien’s attack and eventually lost strength in her legs and lost her life, turning into dust and disappearing.
“I can’t believe this… He was really a hero?”
“I heard it, but I really can’t believe it. I can’t believe I could catch that spider in an instant, all by myself…”
Elune and Fram, who saw Lien, cannot take their eyes off her and look at her in surprise.
Not only the two, but also the other elves who watched as they unlocked the spider.
Lien came to me holding a bundle of money that had fallen where Spider had disappeared.
“I did it, my lord. I ran out of money when I caught Demon here.”
“Good job, Lien. You handled it neatly.”
I lightly tapped Lien on the shoulder and said,
“No, my lord! I don’t mind doing anything as long as it helps my lord.”
“It’s not just Lien! It’s the same for me and Ellie!”
Yuria, who was watching the conversation with Lien, intervened.
Maybe she wants to praise herself too.
“Of course, Yuria, I’m just grateful to you and Ellie. I’m so happy right now because of you?”
I said while holding Yuria and Lien in my arms.
These words are sincere and there is no lie whatsoever.
Yuria and Lien, who were in his arms, blushed a little as if they were embarrassed.
“Well, it’s proven now, right? Kaisha? Can I see the equipment Kaisa used?”
“Huh? Huh! That’s right. I didn’t know it would be this bad, so I was just staring blankly. Are you guys really heroes?”
After watching blankly as Lien took down her Spider, Fram came to his senses and answered me.
Then he gave some instructions to the elves around him.
“I’ll bring it here in a little while. All I need is the equipment, right?”
I nodded at Fram’s words.
After some time, the elves who had moved to other places and more elves came behind them carrying equipment.
The equipment the elves were carrying was an archer item, just like Dinah.
There’s nothing I can write about.
If so, I’ll have to try using that next time.
I went to the item that Kai’Sa used.
And when I checked to see if it was in my inventory, it went in without a problem.
“What? It suddenly disappeared.”
“Jinu, what the hell is this…”
The elves around me are surprised to see me putting items into my inventory.
“These are all Jinu’s abilities! How is it? Isn’t it amazing?”
“Jinu has the power to move the equipment from our world to a subspace and store it. It is the power of someone who can give us power.”
Yuria and Lien are even more proud of my abilities.
Aside from that, I finally got the game item.
Then, of course, what I have to do is summon my character!
After taking out Kai’Sa’s equipment again, I also took out Dainsleif, which I had obtained in the arena.
Phew… It’s a tense moment.
I looked at the items in front of me and internally shouted the value of my current existence: Summoning.
A window did not pop up indicating whether the current item was sufficient or if summoning materials were insufficient.
Then a magic circle was drawn above our sky, and a figure jumped out of the magic circle.
