Chapter 208 – Elven Ruins

Hooked The dagger entered the gap between the legs and the upper body. Even though his leg was pierced, the guardian did not hesitate.

Instead of hesitating, I turned the sword I was about to swing at Patrick and tried to cut me.

“Aww!”

The attack was thwarted by Patrick knocking the Guardian away with his shield.
Uncle Nice.
I clung like a spider to the Guardian’s back, who had been pushed back. And before he could do anything, he thrust his dagger through the gap in his helmet.

This time, too, no blood flowed out.

But he’s definitely dead.
The body that collapses powerlessly proves it.

I jumped off the back of the collapsing body and looked around.

Five dead Guardians.
No allies killed or seriously injured.
Gyeongsang Kara, Belita and Patrick.

‘Who should I help next?’

Seris is still fighting well. She must be formidable with the Guardian’s sword skill, but she brushes it off lightly. As she faces three guardians alone, she shows no signs of being pushed back.

What really happened is completely different from before participating in the temple.

‘There’s no problem with Seris for now.’

There is no problem with Kara and Belita. As the two had good basic skills, each of them took on one Guardian and dealt well with them.

‘The problem is, of course, Uncle Patrick.’

Some are the oldest and some are less talented. As I was trying to help Patrick, I spotted one of the Guardians running towards the Orca.

Without the slightest hesitation, I ran towards the guardian.

The Guardian spotted me and turned from Orca to me.

I threw two daggers at the Guardian.

The dagger flew through the gap in the helmet and the gap in the shoulder joint of the armor, respectively.

The Guardian deflected the two daggers with one sword strike, not twice. However, the dagger was meant to attract attention. While he deflected the dagger, I got within range of the dagger.

It was too close to swing the sword, so the Guardian extended his arm instead of the sword.

I think they were planning to grab my clothes or body and drag me to wrestling, but that was a mistake.

I dodged the outstretched arm and wrapped it around with my right arm. He hit the guardian’s elbow with his palm and broke it.

Even if he was wearing full plate armor, as long as he had joints, the articulation technique would work.

Thump.
The Guardian’s elbow bent in a direction it shouldn’t have, and I immediately kicked him in the hamstring, brought him to his knees, and drew my dagger and cut his neck.

It is a skill of the quadruple body method that has now become proficient.

I confirmed the guardian’s death and turned my head to Orca. She landed strong lightning strikes on the two Guardians who had just been attached to Seris.

Two staggering guardians. Through the mask, the red eyes of Seris spilled out.

Squeak.

In an instant, the heads of the two Guardians rose into the air.
One remaining Guardian took advantage of the gap and attacked, but to no avail.

Seris crossed swords with the guardian and moved her sword, drawing the sword to the floor. In that state, the thin side of the shield struck the guardian’s helmet.

Kwadeuk. A facial bone that is distorted with the helmet. Even though he was probably dead, Seris took the guy’s head for sure.

It was only after seeing her neck roll away that she took a breath.

The remaining three are also in an atmosphere of being organized. Kara was helping Patrick by defeating one of them earlier.

Belita slashed the leg of her opponent, Suhoja, and swung her sword while rotating the line. The guardian’s throat was slashed with that dance-like swordsmanship.

‘Is it almost over now…’

It was when she thought so.
She bent down at the terrifying sensation of the hairs all over her body standing up. Huung. I felt a strong wind passing over me.

When she turns her head back, she sees a warm scar that has just been carved on the wall.

I turned my gaze in the direction the wind had blown.
The elf who had been by Ariel’s side up until now was holding a sword with a letter engraved on her right side with a spirit on it.

The momentum I feel from him is extraordinary.

To the extent that he couldn’t even compare to the Guardians he had fought so far.

“Patience… It was a trash mob earlier, but now it’s a real boss battle…”

I smiled and took a posture.

* * *

Ariandne looked at the fallen Guardians. The elves inside the armor were long dead.

Nevertheless, their souls did not depart for heaven and remained here, keeping the oath they had made to Elendor.

Although she couldn’t catch a single human being because she was weak at times, Ariandne sincerely paid homage to their will and belief.

“I will follow soon, so don’t be too sad. Let’s meet at the heavenly Elendor’s palace and have a drink.”

Only after muttering his bitter words did he turn his attention to the humans in front of him.

Leather Armor, Breastplate, Shield, Robe.
Humans were dressed in various clothes and armed with quality weapons.

The humans he remembered all had a sloppy look and wore only shabby clothes…

Certainly, as his nephew had said, the world had changed in 500 years.

In the worst way for elves.

Ari Andne, who bit his lip once, swung his sword.

His sword contained the power planted by the higher spirits of the wind. A sword strike made of wind moved forward following his sword path.

A wind spirit skill called Wind Blade.
It’s a skill that Ariel and her spirits can also use. However, its size and speed are incomparable.

The wind blade moved toward the meteor.
The man who called Ariel a slave. He was the most intrusive guy from the start.

If I kill her like this, then Ariel’s future will be easier.

However, Yooseong, who had a good sense of humor, ducked his waist to avoid the wind blade. The wind blade that Yoosung avoided left a huge scar on the poor wall.

Seeing that, Ari Andne tutted and clicked his tongue.
A feeling of annoyance that I haven’t felt in a long time.
He wasn’t very nice.

“You! Are you okay?! Did you say Ariel’s uncle? What have you been doing since before?”

Seris shouted in rage at the fact that Meteor had been seriously injured.

But Ariandne paid no attention to it. 500 years ago or now, to him, humans were like ants.

Such a disgusting insect that you can always trample on.

“Winia.”

His body floated lightly.
The power of the wind spirit, ‘high-speed movement’.
His rich body moved quickly towards Seris. In that state, Ari Andne cut his sword downward.

In response to the sudden attack, Seris chose to block it with her shield rather than spilling it with her sword.

Kang!

Blocking was successful, but the shield blocks the front sight.

Ariandne continued to move her sword.
A swift sword strike that seemed to be unaffected by air hit Celis.

“Kuh…!”

No matter how much she learned the divine art of the Heavenly Demon, the difference between her speed is huge.

Once she gave up her momentum, all she could do was block her speedy sword attack as much as possible with her sword and shield.

If she tries to counterattack by any means, she’ll get a blade flying straight to her throat.

“Sister!”

Seris was in a bad situation, but fortunately she was not alone.
Kara and Belita rushed to her aid.

Ari Andne swung the sword with one hand and rubbed his fingers with the other hand to make a clicking sound.

Then, the wind spirit flew a wind blade at the two of them.

“Wow!?”

“Tsk…”

Kara barely dodged by throwing her body to her side, and Belita dodged the wind blade by turning her sideways.

However, the wind blades did not fly only once.

The wind blades flew towards them again, who avoided the wind blades.

It was an attack by the wind spirit to keep the two from approaching Ariandne.

In the meantime, Ari Andne’s sword strike, which struck her Seris, was getting faster little by little.
To the point where it was hard to follow through Seris’ eyes.
She was able to block it with her own intuition, but that was starting to get too much.

‘I’ll have to give up an arm.’

It was the moment when, in her quick judgment, she was about to stamp her feet.

Kwakwang! A large bolt of lightning flew over her shoulder. At that moment, Ariandne’s sword strike stopped and Seris quickly fell back.

Then, as if they were waiting for her to fall, large lightning bolts hit Ariandne.

Kwakwagwang.

The lightning was so powerful that it raised dust as if it were an explosion.

Seris watched her surroundings and waited for the dust to dissipate.

Ariandne, revealed after the dust was scattered, looked too normal.

“Nonsense…”

Orca looked at Ariandne in disbelief.

Toriel’s incarnation, Julius’s inheritance, made him much stronger than before. Enough to keep up with Allen, her nemesis and rival.

And the lightning she had just shot was the maximum power she could produce.

“Are you okay after getting hit by that…?”

How do you beat something like that?
It was a time when Orca’s morale was about to collapse.

“It wasn’t right.”

Seris, who was confronting Ariandne in front of Orca, said.

“What?”

“It wasn’t right. That elf, orca, I hit all your lightning bolts with my sword.”

“What?! Is that possible?!”

“That elf seems capable. Rather…”

Seris stared at Ariandne’s sword.
Even after clearing away that huge lightning, not a single wound remains on the sword.
It must be something special.

‘I want it.’

How do I get that sword?
Simple.
Defeat that elf and take it as a trophy.

That fact was enough to arouse Celis’s friendly feelings.

“You’re a pretty smart girl.”

Ari Andne spat her words of praise toward Cerys.

It was extremely rare for him to praise a human, but 500 years was enough to make even a ruthless elf emotional.

A strong wind blew behind him.
The wind came together and turned into a huge whirlwind that reached the ceiling.

Six storms raged behind him.

“Even so, nothing will change.”

It’s a body that has weakened as much as it will deteriorate, but there should be no problem killing those humans and paving the way for Ariel.

Ariandne wanted to fulfill her final responsibility as a member of the royal family.
