## Chapter 904 – Otherworld Dungeon

The moment I sensed Cloudie about to unleash an inhuman aura, I immediately stepped in front of her.

“Katt…”
“Our elf friends? What did you mean by that just now?”

These sons of bitches dare to look at Cloudie with such surprise? They better hope that wasn’t mockery, you crazy elf bastards.

“Is there a problem with my woman being a half-elf?”

At those words, the three elves each clutched their heads, gaping as they looked around.

“Oh, dear.”
“Good heavens.”
“World Tree, how could this be?”

Each of their actions seemed like gestures meant to mock humans. I decided to postpone my violent outburst until they answered.

“I understand. Elves are beautiful, after all. It’s understandable for a human.”
“It’s only natural, natural.”
“Even so.”
“From an elf’s perspective, humans aren’t that good-looking.”
“The one serving the gods is somewhat handsome, but he still falls short compared to true elves.”
“Don’t misunderstand, human. What we’re trying to say isn’t that.”
“The existence of half-elves is surprising.”
“Or disgusting.”
“Or contemptible.”
“It’s just that we’ve never seen a dark elf hybrid before.”
“No, it’s been so long since we’ve seen any hybrid at all.”
“We were simply so surprised that we overreacted.”

The three elves chuckled as if they found something amusing, speaking like the Relay Brothers (a reference to a medieval German fairy tale about brothers who divide up tasks, even death, with a grim ending). They were mocking me.

“If she were your lover, I might have misspoke.”
“Hehehe, we were so surprised that we couldn’t hide our astonishment.”
“To witness such a rare sight. We should be thanking you, human.”

Speaking mockingly, all three widened their eyes and subtly turned their heads. These guys would be champions in a taunting contest.

“What must one do to create a dark elf hybrid?”
“I can’t understand it logically.”
“It’s worth studying.”
“Scientific.”
“It’s difficult, very difficult.”
“Hybridizing with humans isn’t easy.”
“But more than anything.”
“I’m curious who planted the seed. Ah, of course, I mean that in two ways. Did a human male plant it, or did some crazy elf…”

What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!

“You son of a bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“What!”

It was impossible to control the sudden surge of anger. Closing the distance between us happened in an instant.

—Whoosh!!!

Before I knew it, I was launching an Asura Blood Rending Fist at the face of the long-haired elf who had been talking about planting seeds.

—Whoosh!!

But at that moment, my Asura Blood Rending Fist, which should have landed on his face, cut through the air. The elf warrior nimbly stepped back and twisted his head, dramatically evading my attack.

He dodged my surprise attack?
His reflexes are extreme.

“Oh?! Dodge!! This bastard dodged!!!!”
“…!”

And then, a counterattack came at me.

The elf instantly drew a dagger and tried to swing it upward. I seized the opportunity of his exposed flank as his arm rose, and I shot a punch with my opposite fist.

A punch faster than his dagger.

—Wham!!!

“Guh-ack!!!!!!!!”

The elf, hit squarely, coughed up air and flew away, rolling far into the distance. It goes without saying that when attacking, one must consider all possible scenarios where the attack might fail.

Counterattacking me with such meager skills?
Impossible.

“You crazy bastard!!!”
“You uncivilized human!!!!”

—Fwoosh!

The two elves who reacted immediately kicked off the ground powerfully, darting towards me with eel-like movements. As expected of elf warriors, they were incredibly fast.

“Violation of the treaty!!”

The elf with the one-block mohawk hairstyle, his hair flying, aimed a punch at my chin.

“Kiss my ass!!!”

I immediately retreated a step, rotating my body halfway to evade the punch. Then, I instantly unleashed the Wilderness Blood Jade Hand, strongly yanking his hair.

—Spin, spin!!

He spun in the air as if doing a backflip.

“Blood Heaven Asura Kick!!”

—Boom!

Aiming at him, I unleashed a spinning kick, and with a crisp sound, he flew away. These guys are strong, but not stronger than me!!

“T, this!!!”

The last elf, realizing the situation, tried to escape, but I was already chasing him, launching a kick.

“Kim Katt Drop Kiiiiiiiiick!!!”
“Uwaaaaaaack!!!”

—Wham!!!

That’s the price for foolishly turning his back on me. The guy hit by the dropkick made a bizarre noise and sprawled out far away.

And just like that, I subdued the three elf warriors barehanded.

“You goddamn sons of bitches!!! Dare to disgrace my woman in front of me!!!”
“Kkeueueuk…!”

These bastards dare to insult Cloudie in front of me!!!

“I don’t care if you guys have prejudices against half-elves!! What matters is that you blatantly displayed that attitude in front of the person in question!!! You crazy racist bastards!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t you know there are things you can say in front of people and things you shouldn’t!!!!!”

—Grrr!!!

I pointed my finger at the ruined elves, vehemently scolding them. These sons of bitches need education! The deeply rooted racism in their hearts won’t disappear easily!! That’s why this correction is necessary!!!

If the Belgians had experienced the lives of the Congolese blacks for even a single day, would they have done such things!!!!

If the human trash black looters during the LA riots had experienced the lives of the Korean store owners being looted for even a single day, would they have done such things!!!!

Of course, they would have!!!

A person’s nature rarely changes!

Even the French, who shouted for freedom, equality, and fraternity and carried out a revolution, did not give up their colony of Haiti after the revolution. Instead, they more cruelly oppressed and exploited them, massacring and torturing the Haitian independence fighters!!!

Even after Haiti somehow gained independence, they forcibly extorted a huge amount of compensation, saying that the uncivilized black bastards dared to enjoy the freedom, equality, and fraternity that were the exclusive property of white people, plunging the lives of the Haitian blacks into hell!!!

Humans can only think of themselves!

Even if they shout for freedom, equality, and fraternity, it only applies to themselves! Look! Look at what the French, the epitome of freedom, did to Haiti!!! Look at what the French, who have praised the history of the French Revolution as a just and proud history, have done to the Haitian blacks!!!

The nature of evil beings does not change!!

That’s why punishment is necessary!! Education is correction!!! Correction is punishment!!! The only education that racists can receive is violent retribution!!!

“Y, you human…! How dare you do this!!”
“Did you just say ‘do this’!!!!!!!!!”

The long-haired elf raised his head and said that, and I immediately grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and shouted.

“Didn’t you try to insult my woman!!! Do you elves just stand by when someone suddenly tries to trample on the honor of your lovers!!!”
“I, it was just a forest joke…!”
“Forest joke?”

What’s that?

“Ah… a joke… that’s common in the forest.”

When I expressed my doubt, the elf with the one-block mohawk hairstyle, sprawled out over there, clutched his side and answered in a voice that sounded like he was dying.

“It’s a culture… that humans aren’t familiar with…”

What the hell kind of culture is that!!!

“Tell your goddamn culture to your mother’s pussy!!!!”

I immediately put my forehead against the long-haired elf’s forehead and shouted.

“W, what did you say!!!!”
“It’s like a cave, so it’ll echo loudly! It’ll be fun to talk! As a bonus, there’s also your fathers’ assholes!! Those are also caves, so it’ll be fun to eat the stalactites!!!”
“How can you utter such insults!!!!”

This crazy bastard!!

“That’s exactly what you guys said to me!!! Would you accept it if I excused it as a paladin joke!!!”
“T, that’s…!”
“Answer!!! Would you accept it, elf!!!!!!”
“N, no!! Human! We were wrong!!! Let us go!!!”
“Don’t order meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
