Chapter 21 – #07. Growth (3).

#07. Growth.

“Elf”
There are rumors that it is born as if it bears fruit in Yggdrasil, the world tree, but that is not true.
Elves, like humans and other races, make babies by sex and vaginal discharge.
However, they have a long natural lifespan, low sexual desire, and very low fertility rates.

Pointed ears are standard for all elves, and for non-dark elves, light green eyes, golden hair, and fair skin are the default values.
The three elves I’ve met so far all have blonde hair and light green eyes.

“I’m just a passing player.”

The three elves looked at me with bewildered eyes.
The elf playing the role of a knight didn’t even reap the sword.

He raised his hands and cautiously signaled that he had no intention of fighting.
There was no reason to lose strength by being wary of each other.

“Then why are you blocking our way? Shouldn’t it just pass by?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen an elf. It feels like a pity to just pass by.”
“… This bastard! You just don’t want to go!”

The elf knight reacted sensitively to each and every one of my reactions.
From this guy’s reaction, I could see how important this female elf was.
In the first place, from the appearance, ‘I am an important person.

‘But why does it feel like I’m seeing it for the first time?’

From the point of view of Da-Hee Yoo, it regresses dozens and hundreds of times.
In particular, he repeats the tutorial endlessly until he joins the guild.
When you return, you will meet all the different players, but I have never seen a party with this combination.

The only elf she met on the first floor was Elena Trigard, the leader of the 1st Knights of Alfheim Central.
She meets as a trainee versus instructor.

If so, there is only one reason.
They die shortly after the tutorial begins.
If he died on the first day, it would be understandable not to run into Yu Da-hee.

“Sorry. Princess. I think I will have to deal with this human.”
“I guess he wants to talk?”
“I can’t believe it. As a guardian of the princess, I cannot assume what if. It doesn’t matter if I’m in danger, but the princess might be in danger.”

The elven knight tightened her hand on her sword.
The elf princess was guided by the bookkeeper’s hand and naturally stood behind the knight.

“No…”

I let out a sigh at the overloyalty.
My princess understands my heart.
The subordinates don’t even know that.

‘I’ll have to subdue it with force.’

I even overcame trolls.
I don’t think I’m going to lose to an elf knight.
It can’t be lost

“If I win, you guys will become my teammates too?”
“Heh heh, you mean you’re going to beat me as a human being? It’s me, Elro… Big!”

Before he could say his name, I stomped his foot and shot out.
When he swung his iron sword, the elf knight reacted quickly and blocked the attack.

“Are you suddenly attacking me while I’m saying your name! You bastard, this was the purpose from the beginning!”
“No. Because I don’t want to remember your name. If you don’t tell me your name, I’ll give you time to tell.”
“Shut up! Now that I’ve seen your true colors, there’s no need to talk anymore!”

The elf knight screamed in heat.
He glared at me with ferocious eyes.
It’s really not scary at all.

“Princess, please watch over me!”
“That person is a conversationalist…”
“No questions and answers!”

An elf knight rushed at me.

Fuck, your princess says, what is the question and answer dance?

“You’re such a crazy bastard.”

Barely holding back laughter, I blocked the elf knight’s sword with an iron sword.
The elf knight laughed after facing the same match as me.

“What a poor skill!”
“That’s right.”

I never learned about swordsmanship.
It has to be a poor skill.
That’s right, it’s only been a little over a month since the ‘Tower of Struggle’.
Do you know what a private soldier who finished training camp will do?
You learn while being scolded.

I did read about swordsmanship on You Tube.
The swordsmanship seen through the algorithm had a strange power.
A swordsmanship that subdues the enemy with small movements.
The survival probability of those who learned swordsmanship and those who did not was at the level of the difference between heaven and earth.

Of course, if the body spec itself is different, it’s swordsmanship and nabal.
In a fantasy world, the power of swordsmanship itself is not that great.
No matter how excellent the elf’s swordsmanship is, it doesn’t seem like it will surpass my current physical specs.
Based on the same skill level, there is no doubt that a one-handed sword cannot pierce a sword room.

Kang-!

Sword and shield clashed.
A rather heavy feeling was transmitted to the shield.

Kwagwagwak-!
‘Uh… ?’

The shield started to make a loud noise.
A gnawing, unpleasant sound.
Fragments of the shield were flying.

Kang-!
‘What.’

The elven knight swung his sword again.
A ray of light flashed across the sword coming in from the side.

Kwagwagwak-!

The shield is cracked.
That light is definitely the first time I’ve seen it.
It was an all-too-familiar power.

Does the presence or absence of swordsmanship make a difference in combat?
There is no difference.
If so, is there a difference in the presence or absence of ‘mana’?
Of course, there are differences.

‘Fucked.’

Elf knights are two steps above humans.
However, an elven knight who can handle mana is four levels higher than a human.
That’s enough to kill Orcs one-on-one.

‘Why did he die?’

I couldn’t understand.
What the hell happened

“Hehe, there are no words. Your face has finally realized the difference in level!”

The elf knight became more energetic and pushed me.
The shield was sheared and sheared and then it was broken.

[The ‘Crude Shield’ has been destroyed.]
“Where did the confident face go? Show off your great skills!”
“Oh, oh!”

With the shield gone, it was difficult to block the Elf Knight’s sword any longer.
It seemed better to focus on avoiding it.

“Fuck.”
“Oh, are you dropping your weapon? Even if you surrender now, they won’t let you down!”

I threw away my sword.
If there is no shield, I will believe in ‘hard skin’ and move forward.
Rather, that might be better.
If you drag it into a long-term battle, your mana will run out someday.
Looking at the intensity of the light, the amount of mana itself was small.
You just have to endure a little bit.

‘Not bad.’

When I let go of the sword, my movements are much more free.
Something obstructing the movement of the thighs, waist, and shoulders was gone.
Ignorant fighting was better than poor swordsmanship.

Republic of Korea Army sergeant Kim Jin-woo.
I will show off my honed ground skills against his successors.

He raised his arms and took a pose.
He raised his divine power and wrapped it around his fist.
A pure white light shimmered.

“Wait!”
“Why is that, Princess?”
“That power! It is divine power.”

Whoa…
The elf princess seemed to know the divine power.

The ‘Tower of Struggle’, created by overlapping multiple dimensions, is a space where a variety of energy is gathered.
There were dozens of auras such as divine power.
Pinpointing means that you are well aware of this aura.

“Divine power is a power that can only be used by priests who believe in the Goddess. The Goddess does not share her power with the wicked. That means we don’t have to fight with the priest who serves the Goddess.”

The elf princess had been trying to stop the quarrel from before.
Somehow not bad logic stood between the elven knight and me.

“Then it can’t be helped.”

When the princess came out aggressively, the elf knight withdrew his sword as if he couldn’t help it.
His eyes were still glaring at me fiercely.

I also reaped my divine power and relaxed.
Only then did the elven master come out from behind the knight.

Looking at the broken shield made a part of my heart ache.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have shown divine power from the beginning…”

There was no such case in the novel.
Because the elves who saw her Yu Da-hee were always kind to her.
I thought she would be kind, of course, but I never dreamed that she would give me this shit even if I told her.

‘Is that bastard the problem?’

The elf knight was avoiding my gaze with an impudent face.
It’s like there’s nothing wrong with me.
If the elf princess hadn’t stopped it, my fist would have cracked my head.

“By the way, priest. I think the priest’s attire is very unusual.”
“You mean these clothes?”

I am currently wearing the combat uniform of a sergeant of the Republic of Korea Army.
It was a military uniform, so the colors were different here and there.

“A garment made for the divine duty given by the Goddess. It can also be said to be a symbol of faith and faith.”
“Ah… Is that so?”

The elf princess had many questions.
Am I seeing a human for the first time or am I a peculiar person?

“Anyway, if this is a relationship, it is a relationship. But, I don’t have any friends. May I accompany you, Princess?”
“Ahaha. Sure. I can trust the priest.”
“Thank you.”

The elven knight and bookkeeper still looked full of dissatisfaction.
The elf knight in particular looked at me as if he were going to kill me.

“The moment I look at the princess with strange eyes, I will never leave her alone.”
“Eloin. Forget it now The helper at the Colosseum told you earlier, right? The ‘Tower of Struggle’ was created by the gathering of several dimensions. That’s why there are so many different people, right? You have to try to understand.”
“But…”

The elf princess calmly persuaded Eloin.
No fuck, I memorized the name of the elf knight.

“Shall we move?”

The elf princess smiled softly and led the party.
He led them confidently as if he was not a protected being.

I’ve already decided what to omit from this elf party.
Originally, I was thinking of only one thing, but because of the elven knight, I got another one.

First, nature-friendly elves are born with ‘spirit art’ learned from birth.
I plan to learn ‘spiritual magic’.
Second, I want to learn about ‘mana’ from this elven knight.
This is a wishful thinking.

‘Looking at it, it seems to be ruined.’

This bastard knows how to use mana. Who would have known?
Fuck.
