Chapter 302 – #301 the Purpose of the Elves

The night when the sun sets and darkness falls.

The old man carries a tree on his back and carefully goes down the mountain. His young granddaughter climbed up above him, and he hummed a song.

“Green spirit. Blue spirit. Where are you going to have fun today?”

“Honey, you shouldn’t sing loudly at this late hour.”

“Why?”

“That’s right… This is because such a scary monster appears and captures the person who made the quiet forest noisy.”

“Hey. But I’m not scared at all. There aren’t such dangerous monsters living in this forest, right?”

The old man chuckled at his granddaughter’s bright answer.
At that time, I was thinking about what to do with this rambunctious child…

Ssasat-

There was a strong wind once.

Something appeared on the left and disappeared on the right.

“Huh?”

As the surprised granddaughter and her grandfather blinked and stared straight ahead, they heard another sign from the left side of the forest.

Ssasat-

Ssasasat-

The two people closed their eyes tightly for a moment and cowered due to the bitter wind.

“…”

Then, one by one, the sounds of insects began to echo in the quiet forest again. The old man and the girl looked at each other.

“Ha, grandpa, what was that just now?”

“Well, I’m not sure. Let’s come back tomorrow to check for more details, and let’s go down the forest today.”

While the grandfather and granddaughter were going down the forest, the people who caused the three winds were still running through the forest.

“Sophia. Keep chasing like this and somehow slow down your pace.”

“Yes, Captain.”

The elf governor Serendiya, who gave instructions, quietly melted into the forest.

Currently, Serendiya and his party are following Cale’s orders to catch Amelia, who was once his colleague.
They had already been running for a full day after leaving the capital.

This is a distance that an ordinary human knight would have to travel in three days.

It was a skill that could never have been demonstrated if it were not for those who were well-versed in the wind spirit and were former guerrillas in the elf unit.

Sophia pulled the bowstring. A mid-level wind spirit hovered at the tip of the bow.

Piing-

Two arrows scattered left and right, chasing Amelia who was running ahead of her. However, the moment I reached her body, she disappeared from sight and reappeared about 20 meters away.

“Damn! I really have to admit that you move quickly!”

Sophia measured the arrow again. When you aim an arrow, your running speed slows down, but the opponent who avoids it also slows down.

Meanwhile, Serendiya secured the distance. Their strategy was to suppress.

‘Good.’ The speed has dropped significantly. If it continues like this…’

Sophia fired an arrow again. At the moment when Amelia’s new form stirred again, Seren Diya came in with a dual sword.

Kwaang.

There was an explosion in the forest.

Sofia and Serendiya caught their breath and got down to the floor. Between them was Amelia, with her mouth covered with a cloth and only her eyes exposed.

“Senior Amelia. It’s been a while. You’re still so fast.”

“… You still have a rough mouth, Sophia.”

“Surrender, Amelia. Come with us.”

At Serendiya’s invitation to surrender, she looked at the two in silence. The mouth that had paused for a moment moved thoughtfully.

“By joining us… Do you mean going under that fishy bitch?”

“…”

Serendiya sighed softly.

“It’s not exactly wrong, there’s nothing to say. But at least more than now… Yes. I can say that I’m more hopeful and the future is brighter than when I was under Cielin.”

“… I have no intention of becoming a traitor. Please put an end to me becoming a traitor to my clan.”

“I’m not trying to betray, but I’m discussing the future of the elves. If we live in the ideology of the chosen people like we are now… I’m sorry, but there is no future for us elves.”

“Ha. Now even their thoughts and ideas are starting to resemble those of mermaids. They always said that. We need to interact and become friendly with other races. Hmph. It’s just the thinking of the weak.”

We can no longer find a compromise through words… All three elves realized.

Amelia drew her two daggers. Sofia pulled the bowstring, and Seren Diya put strength into her hand holding the dual sword.

“Amelia. I don’t want to hurt you. Just surrender.”

“If you want to catch me, you’ll have to be prepared to cut off both my legs.”

Silence fell between the three elves.

In that heavy atmosphere, the grass bugs that were playing the song hurriedly lowered their sound.

Serendiya lowered herself.

“Forgive me, Amelia. This is all for the good of us elves…”

Tsupot-

Serendiya’s new model left an afterimage. Afterward, the place where she appeared was right in front of Amelia.

Amelia’s eyes brightened.

Serendiya’s skills, having reached the intermediate level of sword master, were already famous enough to be the object of envy even among elves.

So much so that most people cheer when they go to the arena.

But her true skills were revealed only on the battlefield. In the same unit, Amelia, who was under her command, was one of the few who got a glimpse of her hidden skills.

‘… It has become faster and more sophisticated than in the past.’

Bang. Bang bang.

Strikes that are fast enough to cause afterimages, sharp enough to send chills to your stomach, and heavy enough to make your bones ache.

It was a fleeting moment, but the two elves realized.

‘Is it over?’

Amelia, who had been holding the sword for about 10 seconds, closed her eyes.

‘It’s the end.’

Serendiya’s sword moved towards her lower body.

It’s worse than leaving mercy in her hands half-heartedly. The intention was to cut off both of Amelia’s legs and break her hope.
But her purpose was not achieved.

Keyit-

Amelia and Serendiya’s eyes widened. Soon, bluish and whitish things came rushing towards them from the sky.

“Huh. What…?”

It was a soul. They, in the shape of elves, came down from the sky and launched an onslaught on Serendiya.

The quantity was probably in the hundreds.

“Captain!”

Sophia’s arrow, loaded with spirit energy, passed through them. In that gap, Serendiya instantly formed a sword screen and caused an explosion around her.

“Is Sophia okay?!”

“Yes, captain. But Amelia senior…”

Serendiya’s gaze turned to the sky.

Under the soft moonlight, something huge was floating.

It had the shape of a ship. With sails and anchors, it was literally a ship. Interestingly, the ship was floating high in the sky, not even in the water.

Sophia muttered quietly with her face showing her nonsense.

“Jordan, the ancient weapon of the elves… Why is it here?”

Jordan can only be handled by an elf shaman. It was dealt with by Audrey in the past, but after her virginity was torn away by Cale, she was forcibly repatriated to her home country.
But now it was back here again. Amelia was hanging on a long rope that came down from it, looking down at them.

“Huh. Huh… Eh? Jordan?”

Audrey, who arrived a little later because his feet were slow, opened her eyes wide and looked up at the sky in the same way.
At that time, someone appeared on the boat.

“Huh?!”

Interestingly, she looked exactly like Audrey. She exclaimed in disbelief as Audrey held up her index finger.

“Airi?!”

“Pfft. Poor Audrey♥ You’re still wandering around like a fool, aren’t you?”

Sofia looked at them both, then she asked Serendiya.

“Who is Airi, Captain?”

“He is Audrey’s twin sister.”

The two definitely looked alike. As if reflected in a mirror.

But Sophia narrowed her eyes as if she didn’t understand.

“But if they’re twins, don’t they have similar personalities? Why do they seem so different?”

“I heard that Audrey showed a natural talent for being a shaman at an early age, but she fell into disrepair at an early age. I understand that her younger sister grew up normally for about 100 years.”

“Ah…”

Audrey opened her eyes fiercely and shouted.

“Airi, why are you here?! It’s mine! Give it to me!”

“Pfft. Idiot, Audrey. Why am I here? I came here under special orders from Lady Cielin. Audrey, I heard you lost your powers. You couldn’t hold back your heat, so you ended up making passionate love with livestock♥”

“That’s not it!”

“Anyway, I’ll see you later. Amelia and I have things to do so we’re busy. Next time, get rid of the crap. Bye!”

“You stand there! Stand there!”

The two elves, along with Jordan, disappeared from the sky. After seeing that the battle was over, Sophia collapsed on the floor.

“Captain. What are you going to do now? Even before, you wouldn’t even show your face, and you’d even miss it… I’m going to hide even more than before.”

“Don’t worry. I know where it might have gone.”

“Yes? Really?”

“Yes. I wonder what brought Jordan here.”

Cieline, the queen of the elves, could not prevent the resurrection of her Themis.
In such a situation, Avantash, the blue dragon who helped her in the past, disappears. Themis even married a fellow demigod.

Even though the number of mermaids was greatly reduced, they could not subdue Themis using the same methods as before.

Therefore, Cielin’s actions were obvious.

‘They want to get rid of the lord first.’

Serendiya turned her gaze toward the direction they were heading, east.
