Chapter 262 – 262. Demonic Front (5)
“Who will handle more monsters, bet with me! If I win, Hyuni’s first knight’s seat will be mine, so don’t touch it!”
“… I don’t know why you hang yourself over something like that. Take it if you want. Why do I have to go along with this childish fight?”
“What is that arrogant tone! How much effort have I put into getting that position! You show up out of nowhere and cut in line!”
“I can’t possibly listen.”
Elvin gave up talking to her sister, who reunited her after a year.
She is stunned by the sight of Erin burning her jealousy at herself for the ridiculous reason she has no mate she can’t relate to at all.
She formed a weapon by manipulating the shadows, and jumped into the beast’s wire.
“Look at this! You start off without even saying a word!”
She didn’t even express her intention to accept the bet, but it was decided that the bet between brother and sister had already been established.
Erin also starts running in pursuit of Elvin, who jumped into the group of monsters first.
“What are you doing? Those two…”
When the unknown competition started out of nowhere, Eira muttered with a puzzled look on her face.
“Is it because it’s their first reunion after a year?”
Erin’s angry expression with her jealous gaze wasn’t too bad.
“Great job.”
Eleanor, walking slowly, spoke to Eira.
“Ah… Miss Eleanor.”
Seeing Eleanor’s face, which she hadn’t seen in a long time, Aira hesitated to speak to her, noticing her welcomed look on her car.
“Could he…”
Recognizing who Ayra had mentioned, Eleanor smiled bitterly and nodded her head.
“He went straight to the center.”
“Okay…”
“Are you worried about the Marquis?”
“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried. No matter how strong your father is…”
Aside from that, it’s not that his father’s worries aren’t completely unreasonable.
“Are you okay. Because he is gone.”
“Maybe?”
Eleanor’s steadfast trust in the man who had now become her husband allowed Eira to breathe a little and relieve her anxiety a little.
“What are you going to do now, Miss Eleanor?”
“I’m going straight into the fort to treat the seriously injured.”
Although she has not been officially recognized, her competence as a priest of Eleanor has already risen to the ranks of high-ranking priests, drawing attention even within her Vesta Temple.
Eleanor, who can restore her missing parts, including her severed limbs, and breathe new life into the bodies of dying soldiers, is literally at a level worthy of her saintly candidate.
“Even if I came, you shouldn’t use your body recklessly?”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Ayra smiled and moved on with her steps.
“Keugh!”
It caught Eira’s eyes as the black-haired adventurer who was engaged in a battle with the Witchbeast tripped and collapsed on the floor.
The moment the lycanthrope witch opened her mouth to bite the black-haired adventurer’s torso.
Kruck!
The sword that Ayra had thrown with all her might landed right in the eyes of the Witchbeast.
The lycanthrope, damaged by the sudden attack, went into a riot while complaining of pain all over his body.
“Ha!”
The dark-haired adventurer let out a short breath at the thought that he had saved his life by dying.
Before long, he pierced the stomach of the Witchbeast with his own sword.
Kroaak!
The beast’s blood flowed down the sword body that pierced the abdomen and protruded from the back, dripping onto the floor.
As he twisted the blade to open up the wound he had penetrated, the lycanthrope’s screams and resistance intensified.
The more he struggled, the more the black wounds in his eyes and abdomen opened up and ate away at the beast’s life.
Finally, with all his strength, the dead Demon Beast sat down on the floor.
“Haha.”
The black-haired adventurer stood up from the floor where he had fallen and pulled out his sword stuck in the abdomen of the corpse.
Within seconds, Ira pulled out the sword that hit the beast’s eye, and turned his head in the direction the sword was thrown.
He spotted her aira running hurriedly and ran to her, holding out her aira and her sword.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to save my life.”
“No. It’s okay.”
“That outfit… Are you Artia’s knight?”
The dark-haired adventurer saw the armor Eira was wearing, and she guessed her affiliation.
“Yes… ? Our Knights… Do you know?”
“I took the entrance exam and failed.”
“Ah…”
Eirada was taken aback by the words of her dark-haired adventurer who smiled bitterly and revealed her own past history.
“Sir, your name… May I ask? My name is Eira, a member of the Artia Knights.”
Whenever possible, when introducing her self, she does not mention her last name.
With her parents’ support and denial, in order to block in advance any factors that would arouse unnecessary suspicion that she joined.
The dark-haired adventurer slowly opened his mouth to Eira’s question.
“Cha Han-seong.”
“Yes?”
“It’s called Cha Hanseong.”
“…”
For some reason, Eira was speechless for a moment as her unknown familiarity and déjà vu popped into her head.
The moment I hear her name echo, that alone makes me think that she is similar to someone.
Come to think of it, except for the color of her hair and eyes, the overall shape of her face is similar to that of someone she has pictured in her head.
“… Ancient people?”
◆ ◆ ◆
“I will never lose!”
“…”
Feeling pathetic about her sister’s obsession, Erwin neatly ignored Erin’s words and ran across the battlefield staring at the beasts in front of her.
“Do I look calm now!? Someone hasn’t seen Hyun-yi’s face for close to a year, but her brother lived with her for a year! I wanted to go on a trip with Hyun too! I’ve been patiently waiting!”
‘… Who are you talking to?’
Alvin couldn’t notice the nine-tailed fox’s efforts to soothe Erin, who was so excited inside.
In Alvin’s eyes, the sight of her own sister holding her bunch in the air seemed crazy.
“… I’ll have to talk to him properly later.”
Alvin turned her head again and looked ahead of her, confirming the location of her demons.
Elvin’s shadow, moving slowly, gradually increased in size and encroached on the area where the battle in front was taking place.
‘The last wide-area attack consumed too much magic.’
In the previous fight, he accurately identified the shortcomings of his abilities that were a problem, and continued to seek ways to compensate for those shortcomings.
Learn based on experience, and gradually optimize your abilities efficiently.

[Swamp of Shadows]
Big?
The beasts who were engaged in a battle with many adventurers hesitated and looked down at the ground with suspicious and bewildered eyes at the sudden change of terrain.
Like a sticky swamp, the situation swallowed up the demons’ feet and pulled them downward.
It did not affect the human beings who were fighting at all, and only the demonic beasts were identified and drawn into the swamp of shadows created on the floor and swallowed up.
‘There’s no need for me to take care of everything.’
All you had to do was restrict the actions of the monsters and create gaps.
As they fell into the swamp of fading shadows rather than solid ground, the beasts’ bodies, unable to properly balance, stumbled.
There is no way the adventurers will miss the openings of the monsters that have begun to appear all at once.
“Uh ha!”
Beginning with the action of an adventurer who smashed the beast’s head with a courageous strike, the others unbalanced and swayed the beasts in unison and dealt them with fatal blows.
Same goes for Alvin.
Putting strength into his own running arm, he swung the mace he was holding in her hand with all his might.
Fuck!
The orc’s head, which had been hit in the head with a mace, crushed the flesh in an instant and shattered the skull inside him, and the people who saw it began to cheer.
“Hyung, that’s great!”
“What! That handsome knight!”
“Are these shadows your work?”
“…”
Alvin, who blew his whistle and received admiring glances from all over his body, silently took care of the remaining demons without any reply.
“Oh… !”
“I should have told you to be quiet. Goofy Even after two years, your ugly appearance and learning ability have not developed at all?”
“You are too much! I don’t even have to say that!”
Once again, as Erin tried to put the word ‘brother’ in her mouth, Elvin scolded her sister for being immature.
Erin, who heard her brother’s reprimand with her shoulders flinched, put on an unfair expression before opening her mouth again.
“Hyeoni… Where are you?”
◆ ◆ ◆
“Aye~! It’s really been a while since we’ve been together like this!?”
Gerard opened his mouth, trembling at the team-up he hadn’t seen in a while.
“Whoops, I will.”
It was the same with Alice, who was happy to see the faces she hadn’t seen in 20 years.
It’s the first time since they got married in the forest of elves that he saw a human besides Eunhyeon, Illyana, and Eleanor.
There’s no way I wouldn’t be happy
“Okay, and I have a species I need to introduce to you on this occasion.”
Other people simply did not accept the meaning of expressing ‘tribe’ without necessarily expressing ‘human’.
Realizing the meaning of Eunhyun’s gaze, Alice nodded her head.
She then turned her body to her side and introduced her husband, Derkin, who had come with her.
“This is my husband, Derkin. The tribe…”
“Alice, I will explain it myself.”
Restraining Alice, Derkin stepped in front of her and removed the earring from her own ear.
Eunhyeon and Illyana are considerate of the elves, Derkin and Eris, and the earring magic tool specially made with ‘Polymorph’ magic transforms the wearer’s appearance according to the setting.
In the case of the two elves, they were no different from other humans, even if their long pointed ears were reshaped to look like human ears.
In an instant, Derkin’s ears, which had been round in the form of human ears, became flat and pointed, and the characteristics of an elf changed into a shape that stood out.
“Homecoming… ?”
“Sir, are you an elf!?”
Despite being a man, he was tall, slender and beautiful, and the characteristics of his long, pointed ears were the same as the descriptions of the tribes of the forest that have been passed down in history books.
Liod and Gerard, who saw Derkin’s identity for the first time, reacted with surprised expressions.
Soon, Gerard showed a gloomy expression and murmured in a small voice.
“Even Alice is getting married… Only me… Why only me…”
“Hey, it’s this bitch. I am not married either.”
“What kind of MiX guy is going to take Agnes sister?”
“This X meal?”
Gerard’s open dissing made tendons grow on Agies’ forehead.
Anies, annoyed, pinched Gerard’s fingers and squeezed them.
Gerard twists his body and screams.
“Ah! Sorry! Hand! Free your hands! Broken! It’s broken! I’m really sorry! I won’t do that again!”
“…”
“Brother! Miss Illyana! Aaaaa! Please save me!”
There is no room for sympathy for Gerard’s atrocities, who use frivolous attitude and make light words that end up being punished.
Riod as well as Illyana looked at each other pathetically, and seemed unwilling to stop Agies’ retaliatory hand-clap attack.
Reluctantly, Eun-hyeon put on a bitter smile and intervened between the two.
“Come on, let’s solve Haehoo up to this point, and the rest…”
Eunhyeon paused for a moment and stared at the center of the other side of the forest.
“Let’s solve that first and solve it while drinking.”
“I agree.”
Leo de silently nodded her head and pulled out the sword from her waist, taking the lead.
The automatic movement of the body without forgetting the arrangement of the team formed 20 years ago evoked nostalgia for the past.
It was Eun-hyeon who brought Alice back to the front and brought five of the six heroes together again.
Excluding the fact that Riod-in himself took on the role of selling his face as the external leader, it was Eun-hyeon who is still the center of this team even now, 20 years later.
Among the six heroes, the heroes who gathered once again and the hidden hero who led them started to act in unison.
