Chapter 210 – 210. Traces of Fanaticism (2)
While not fully recognizing what had happened, the Dark Elves stared blankly at their heads rolling off the floor.
“It’s the death penalty.”
All of you
The cold death sentence awoke the spirit of the Dark Elves, who had been staring at the heads rolling on the floor in a daze.
“Keugh!”
Goosebumps ran through his whole body, and he quickly turned around and looked behind him.
“… When?”
A strange situation in which a man who had been standing at the entrance of a cave in the distance just now suddenly occupied their backs in the deepest part of the cave.
They do not even give time to have feelings for their own people, who were beheaded without even resisting once.
“Kill!”
There was a clear difference in skill between Eunhyun, who occupied the back through Lee Hyeong-hwan, and the Dark Elves, who could not catch the movement.
Nevertheless, the reason why the Dark Elves have no choice but to take out daggers from their arms and show action against Eun-hyeon is because of the survival instinct that keeps ringing in their heads.
The survival instinct of the Dark Elves strongly exclaimed when they read the hatred contained in their resolute action, approaching in an instant and cutting off the head of a fellow tribesman without even attempting a conversation.
Even if you stay still, you die.
Even if you surrender, you will die.
If so, you have no choice but to resist.
Even though I instinctively felt that I would die no matter what, my survival instinct filled with fear was strongly ordering me to struggle no matter what.
Squeak
The arm of the Dark Elf holding the dagger was cut by Eunhyun’s sword and fell to the floor.
“Keah!”
Only after his arm fell to the floor did the Dark Elf scream in belated pain.
Grabbing his own severed wrist, he lifted the dark elf’s face with a hopeless expression and kicked it.
The dark elves hardened their bodies after seeing the gruesome end of their kind, which were split in half in an instant and split into two pieces.
‘If it goes like this… !’
A dark elf shifted his gaze to the boy who was lying asleep on the altar, and immediately moved his body.
It was not known what method they used to find them or what the method was, but it was not too difficult to guess that Eun-hyeon’s purpose was to save the boy who was sleeping on the altar.
In that case, the Dark Elf thought that he had to somehow create a gap in Eun-hyeon by using that boy as a hostage.
Thinking so, he moved his body and headed towards the altar.

[Wind Cutter]
Wei Ying
The blade of the fierce wind blowing through the air hit the Dark Elf’s leg as it was heading for the altar.
“Uh?”
The body of the dark elf who was running to the altar fell forward in an instant, and he belatedly noticed what had happened and moved his gaze downward.
The red blood gushing out of his amputated ankle is soaking the floor of the cave.
“Uh, ah!”
Seeing the appearance of his own people with both ankles amputated, he gazed towards the entrance of the cave, where a tremendous amount of magic was manifested.
“What are these?”
“… I feel bad.”
A woman dressed in a black witch’s robe and a woman in a white, light-colored holy priestly robe frowned and looked into the cave.
The two women frowned as they felt the foreign energy emanating from the mural and the altar that Eunhyeon had destroyed.
An aura that, while different from her normal magic power, evokes an eerie feeling of revulsion that causes goosebumps throughout the body.
Even so, it was an energy that I had felt about half a year ago.
“I’ve felt that energy before. How are you, Eleanor?”
“… Neither do I.”
“This is the energy that crazy bitch shed, right?”
As the ceremony was being held, Illyana immediately identified the identity of the energy she felt from the side of the altar.
It was because she had the same aura she felt during the filthy experience she could never forget.
The queen of the dead, the energy of evil death that was the basis of necromancy.
As Illyana confirmed that she felt a dark aura of morale, she questioned Eleanor.
“… I guess so.”
She looked at Eleanor’s firm, affirmative face, and Illyana frowned as if she didn’t like her.
“… It’s strange. You said that energy would never spread to the continent again?”
– Necromancers will no longer exist in this land. I passed this on only to that child. So as long as I take that child’s corpse away, there will be no more necromancy in this land. Until I show up in front of you again.
This is what Medea, who had manifested on the continent with only her mind on the other side of the void, and no one else, said this directly as she left.
Strangely enough, believing the words of that crazy woman who longed for a twisted affection for Eun-hyeon in a form that had lost her taste was really embarrassing and hurt her pride, but to think that Mediah couldn’t have spouted a lie. Also true.
“Oh, really, what…”
Caang!
The dagger that was flying at the two defenseless women sensed the attack and was intercepted by the magic barrier that opened automatically, creating a strong metallic sound.
The automatically activated magic barrier artifact that Eunhyeon gave to her wives sensed the crisis of the two owners and activated it to block the attack.
“…”
Pausing her thoughts, Illyana stared at her dark elf who threw her dagger in silence.
She then raises her hand and injects her mana through the embodied spell to activate her magic.
[Three-digit magic]
[Ice Needle]
Dozens of ice thorns, formed as the chilly air condenses, are waiting in the air to pierce the target.
As Illyana’s raised hand was lowered forward, the ice thorns that captured her target mercilessly pierced the body of the dark elf who threw the dagger at once.
“Nice… Ah… !”
The voice of the Dark Elf, who had been screaming in pain as ice thorns were embedded in his body, suddenly cut off.
It was because an ice thorn that flew in belatedly got stuck in the dark elf’s neck and pierced his vocal cords.
“Eww…”
The corpse of the Dark Elf who died as his whole body was penetrated was so gruesome.
Eleanor frowned and turned her head away, unable to bear the sight of her being turned into a corpse of promiscuous pieces of meat.
“Do you think that is cruel?”
“Yes? No, that’s…”
“Are you okay. Even to be honest. You can’t say anything about Eleanor over something like this.”
“…”
Eleanor, who looked a little worried, opened her mouth.
“To be honest… It doesn’t feel too good. I felt sick to my stomach at the sight of a corpse that was too cruel, so I stopped without realizing it…”
“I see. It must have been a rather cruel sight for Eleanor.”
Illyana calmly agreed with Eleanor’s words and nodded her head.
Eleanor is not accustomed to fighting between humans.
As the daughter of a ducal family, as a priest of the Temple of Vesta, she participated in several expeditions to clear dungeons and subjugate monsters, and is somewhat familiar with the fight itself.
However, she has never experienced a human-to-human fight or war.
That is why, without hesitation, she had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the brutal killing of people.
She knows with her head.
If not, this side suffers.
If you don’t stop it by killing it now, it may cause more damage later.
She was convinced of that way of thinking, and Eleanor herself thought it was right.
However, no matter how much reason and heart she thinks she has, it is another matter for her to remain sane after seeing the cruel sight she is seeing for the first time.
“In the future, there will be scenes like this very often. You’ll have to get used to this part. Especially if you decided to support Hyun by your side.”
At the center of most incidents, around Eun-hyeon, who does not hesitate to do dangerous things if necessary, there must be scenes that are more brutal than this.
Illyana was telling Eleanor about it.
“… Yes.”
“I have no intention of making you do such a cruel thing. Just… Even if you were by my side, it would be a great comfort to Hyeoni and me.”
Above all, it is difficult for Eleanor, who has never done the act of ‘killing’ by taking and destroying the lives of others.
Neither Illyana nor Eunhyeon had any intention of forcing it on Eleanor.
More than anything else, Eleanor was born with the temperament of a saintess who could not be so cruel.
Despite having feelings of contempt and hatred for the gangsters who almost raped her, and feelings of hatred and anger for her half-brother, Ashton, who tried to destroy her entire family, Eleanor put a knife in her hand. Even if it creates a situation and an opportunity to kill them directly.
Eleanor never gets her determination to kill them with her own hands.
It is true that she had a taste for tormenting Eleanor while building various relationships, but there was no need for her to become accustomed to cruelty like this, thought Illyana.
It’s the same with Eunhyun.
“But… Anies-sama is not. I, like Anies-sama, will go to the front line…”
“… It’s very bad to use her as an example.”
Illyana twitched her eyebrows as she checked the condition of her magic barrier surrounding herself and her Eleanor.
“His case is a bit special. You don’t have to be like him.”
Agnes is a unique case of having received the blessings of more divinities than anyone else and possessing the strongest body.
From the moment she was granted divinity, her body, which stopped growing at the young age of 16, is immune to diseases and poisons, and she has the strongest body that nothing can hurt, a woman who stands at the pinnacle of priests. .
At the same time, receiving Eun-Hyeon’s hard training, she showed off her fighting ability, capable of tearing demon beasts apart with her bare hands. Agies’ fighting style, which used to fight on the front lines, is clearly not a priest’s fighting style.
“Perhaps you have your own way. Find a way and make it.”
“Yes. Thank you. Miss Illyana.”
“Whoops. Okay. Than that…”
Illyana smiled and muttered as she stared at Eunhyun, who was slaughtering the Dark Elves in the deepest part of the cave.
“Why is he so angry again?”
“… Iknow, right.”
Eleanor looked at Eun-hyeon with a worried expression, which is rare.
It wasn’t that they were angry that the energy that flowed from the rituals the Dark Elves were performing had something to do with Mediah.
In Illyana’s eyes, Eunhyeon didn’t feel disgusted with Mediah, but instead seemed closer to expressing annoyance and anger.
“Did you have anything to do with these things in the past?”
“I am a little worried…”
In the course of her battle, it is very rare for Eunhyeon to reveal her emotions.
Cooung
“Keuuugh!”
Eun-hyeon grabbed the last remaining dark elf robe by the collar and roughly pushed it against the wall of the cave.
With a violent shake, the black mask that had been written on her face came off, revealing the face of a man with dark skin and ash-grey hair with pointed ears.
She put the sword she was holding in her other hand into the floor and placed her hand on the male dark elf’s forehead.
Eun-hyeon, who had read the memories of the dark elves through her memories, murmured briefly.
“I’m possessed… It’s your method.”
“U-how about that… Whoops!”
The Dark Elves, who looked shocked at how easily their method was discovered, were speechless until the end.
It was because Eun-hyeon pulled out the sword she had put on the floor and stabbed it into the dark elf’s vital point.
Soon after, he released his hand from his collar and cut his throat.
A fountain of blood gushed from his neck, where his head had fallen in vain, and he lost his strength and collapsed to the floor.
“…”
Eun-hyeon, who had been pulling away as far back as possible to avoid the blood spatter, reverse-summoned the sword, approached the altar, and carefully picked up the lying boy’s body.
After checking the boy’s condition by sending a weak magical energy into the boy’s body, Eun-hyeon left the cave.
“How’s the kid?”
“It’s not in good condition, but it’s only abrasions and fractures, so I think Eleanor’s divine magic will somehow manage it.”
“Is that so…”
Eleanor looked at the face of the boy who was sleeping in Eunhyeon’s arms with a sad expression.
“I am still a child…”
“Let’s go back for now.”
“Huh. Okay.”
Illyana, who nodded her head, activated the teleport, and Eun-hyeon picked up and threw a grenade-type potion bottle toward the cave just before being teleported.
Kwaaang!
Eunhyeon and the others were transferred by teleportation, and the inside of the cave, where only the corpses of the Dark Elves remained, exploded and collapsed, causing strong vibrations.
