Chapter 87 – Elfriede, Advent – 3

Because that guy in the red cape was absolutely not Elfriede. Because she doesn’t have the slightest resemblance.

“Puff.”

As soon as I heard the story of the self-proclaimed Elfriede, I burst into laughter. It was an unavoidable phenomenon in which the body reacted before the brain even recognized it.

“Are you laughing now?”

“I laughed. It’s too funny.”

I followed her tone exactly.

“Did you just introduce yourself as Elfriede? With your own mouth?”

“Okay. I am Elfride.”

Then, the enemies, including Sihel and his followers, all kneel at once. The mind that was like a mayhem seems to be covered with awe in an instant.

Should I be naive? Should I be stupid

I’d say it’s stupid. Because they’re bad guys.

Meanwhile, the executives of El Balom are also somewhat confused. A look in her eyes wondering if the woman floating in the air in front of her was really Elfriede.

I yawned once and then said.

“Do the shit.”

“…!”

“Captain?”

“Master?”

The wide-eyed eyes are all at me. It doesn’t discriminate between friend and foe.

However, the fact that that guy wasn’t Elfriede was something I had to point out in order to keep the allies’ morale from dropping.

“You are not Elfriede.”

“…With what kind of confidence do you say that? Do you know me?”

“Know. To the extent that you are not Elfriede.”

A devil’s heart that combines both strength and evil.

El Friede does not introduce her own name. No, she’s not exactly a being who needs to introduce her own name.

Don’t you just need a name? I don’t even feel the need to prove that strength.

When she emerges, her true death permeates her floor. All living beings feel the crisis rising from her instincts.

It doesn’t matter what her dying person calls her: Elfriede, demon, ghost, goblin, queen. For the words of the dead have no power.

“It’s like a child in a herd. It’s like denying my existence without any evidence.”

Little Red Riding Hood rolled up the corners of her mouth and released her magical powers.

Turbulent air currents. A single sword woven from mana that shakes the ground and soars into the sky. She points it at me

Enough to weave her mana tightly enough to make her weapon.

That ability is truly amazing, but compared to Elfriede, it’s infinitely insignificant.

“Will you come to your senses only if your limbs are cut off? An idiot who regrets dying. Do you want to be like that?”

I thought about it for a while. He raised his head again with a very serious expression.

“Good. Let’s just pretend you are Elfrieda.”

The ally’s eyes darken. She looks at me with her eyes written ‘So is that Elfrieda or not?’

“That proud Elfriede took a precious step, but I can’t just let her go. From now on, I will have a duel with Elfriede.”

She let out a laugh as if Sihel was dumbfounded.

“Crazy… I still haven’t figured out the situation.”

“That doesn’t matter. But you guys will have to think about how to live in the future.”

“Why us?”

Sihel’s expression as if she didn’t know at all. Go to it and continue her words.

“The Elfriede you fear has just appeared, what will happen if I defeat it? Having defeated God, I am a rookie. From then on, you will have to worship me as a god.”

The fake Elfriede, Little Red Riding Hood, interrupted the conversation.

“How dare you say you have the confidence to defeat me?”

“Of course. Listen to the Amje Altar. You guys should do everything in your power to cheer for Elfriede to win. If I win, I will change the name of the altar and I will make a new doctrine and teach it. OK, didn’t you know?”

Sihel and her followers stared blankly at Elfriede while groaning.

In any case, because ‘god’ had descended, it was not correct in doctrine for her followers to take the lead.

All they can do is observe and react to Elfriede’s actions.

Little Red Riding Hood opened her mouth as she narrowed her brows.

“What… Doesn’t care. Everyone will kneel before my overwhelming strength. The subordinates under you will eventually serve me.”

“But did you come alone? Didn’t you bring the shadow?”

“Shadow?”

She takes one look at her own feet. And she raises her head again, dumbfounded.

“…Is this crazy? Can’t you see my shadow below?”

Haha… “

Only I understand what is interesting about the conversation just now. After laughing heartily, I ordered Denia.

“Take the officers and step back. Spread the barrier to protect your life. Protect the building if you can afford it.”

“All right.”

Then the follower raised her arms high and asked Little Red Riding Hood.

“Ah, dear queen! What can we do! Please give me the answer!”

“You guys are backing up too.”

“Yes! Honorable name!”

The forces of El Balom stood behind me, and the forces of the Altar of Darkness naturally stood behind Red Riding Hood.

She turned to the Altar of Amje and gave her order.

“You all get down on your knees and pray with your eyes closed. There is no need to see the direction of the confrontation with the naked eye. Can’t even see After all, the only outcome left is me winning.”

Everyone got down on their knees and they did.

‘I can see clearly.’

It’s just that he’s trying to hide his fight somehow. It’s obvious. That way, you can maintain your camouflage status for as long as possible.

Little Red Riding Hood nodded her head once and fidgeted with the handle of her sword.

“Oh?”

And at that part, I unknowingly exclaimed.

Sometimes, when you hang out with friends and colleagues, there are guys who imitate the superiors well enough to be suspicious.

– Becca. Try that. Florian is also here right now.
-Isn’t it unrelated to the mission?
– It doesn’t matter! If you make us laugh, we can make the mission more fun, right?
-Ha… Hmmmm, Florian~ Come and sit down~
-Pahahahahahaha!

In the case of Shadow, Becca was especially good at copying Elfriede’s voice.

Whether it’s their behavior, voice, or way of speaking, there’s always one of those guys who imitate them well and make them laugh.

However, if there is a condition to them, it is that you can only follow them if you have actually seen them.

And, I caught a glimpse of Elfriede in the action of using Red Riding Hood’s sword.

‘It’s sloppy, but that’s a move you have to have seen Elfriede before, right?’

Literally.

Lazy, but lacking. Nevertheless, that guy was definitely someone who had experienced Elfriede’s existence.

Therefore, the moment I decided to catch that guy alive unconditionally and ask him about this and that.

Jjaeaeng-!

Little Red Riding Hood tilted her sword, bounced the moonlight, and shot it into my eye. In that brief moment when she shakes her head, it rushes at me like a darting arrow.

“It’s petty.”

Fisik, I muttered while laughing. If it’s going to be like this, did you tell me in advance to close your eyes?

Does not matter. Because the shadow sees with its eyes and doesn’t judge the situation.

If I can feel the breath of the people around me, the flow of mana, sound, wave, and body, that in itself is a ‘sight’ to me. It is not difficult to switch to Denia’s bat and deflect the sword.

Caang! Caang! Kang!

“…It’s Ermethylene. I don’t remember giving you anything.”

After bouncing the sword three times, the guy opened his mouth. This kind of offensive must have been enough for her.

“Shadows don’t take anything in particular.”

“His shadow shadow. Are you sick?”

Little Red Riding Hood tossed her sword into the air once, then caught it again.

“Oh?”

When you grab the sword again, you slowly lower your stance and then raise it up again. Even in that movement, it was quite felt that he imitated Elfriede’s movement.

When the sword that was floating in the air was caught again, it was already copied into three copies.

One is wielded by Little Red Riding Hood himself, and the other two attack me arbitrarily, as if they were possessed by ghosts.

‘But it’s a trick using afterimages.’

One is a real sword, the rest is a trick.

“Shouldn’t it be divided into five?”

“Three is enough to deal with you.”

“Sorry.”

While I picked out only the real sword, Elfriede split into five. Even all five of them are treated with real swords.

Kang! Caang!

Every time he bounced off the sword, he could read the traces of his efforts.

Because the traces of terribly practiced to imitate her were buried everywhere in her actions.

I thought some trash was only impersonating Elfriede’s name, but her behavior wasn’t too bad either.

‘But it doesn’t work either.’

The chances of this guy defeating me converge to nothing.

That would also be the case, because I had the experience of mixing weapons against the real Elfriede.

The pain of having her eyeballs dug out, the despair of having to continue training with one arm cut off, the desperation of having to focus on defense as both of her legs are amputated and spread out…

The process of her rolling countless times from her to her remained intact with me.

Rather, I started to nag him while dealing with him.

“Don’t trick your eyes by leaving afterimages. Weave the sword with the concept of copying, not the concept of division. That way your strength will be tripled.”

“It’s a pity the movement here. Just because she’s Elfriede doesn’t protect against all attacks. Avoiding is not necessarily an ugly act. You can dodge it nicely.”

“The stabbing is so poor quality. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him stabbed.”

As the nagging continued, the boy began to break out in a cold sweat. Will be noticed gradually. That I, too, had seen the true form of Elfriede.

“I’d rather hold my breath, can’t I just stop breathing? Elfriede has a reason for even breathing.”

“Oh.”

The embarrassment must have been so great that he let go of the sword. I grabbed it without letting go. Then he put it on one of the guy’s shoulders.

“…!”

The boy covered his mouth with his other hand. He probably didn’t want to let those who were praying hear his screams.

But I’m not that merciful. There was no reason to be merciful.

With the handle of the sword, I smashed the top of his head and cut it with a clicking sound.

“Heuk!”

Cool, he coughed up blood. I deliberately hit him here and there only with the handle of the sword.

“Can you hold on like this? Even like this? Poisonous, poisonous.”

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

Finally.

“Cheer, heck! Stop that! Stop… ! Save… Give it!”

The moment he cried out like that. I heard the sound and opened my mouth while looking at the enemies who opened their eyes.

“I have brought God to my knees. I beat god From now on, I am God. Anyone who disobeys me is heresy, so I know that.”

I lifted the trivi and fired it.

Pan-! The bullet shattered the follower’s mask and pierced his forehead at the same time.

“You keep your eyes open. Did you go crazy because you wanted to die?”

“…?”

He added a word to the wide-eyed Sihel.

“Why is it strange? I wonder if God can’t even see the expression behind the mask?”

“No, no.”

“Now, I am Elfride. The guy who is coughing up ugly blood here should just be seen as a heretic. I’ll have to think about how to handle this from now on. Denia, round table!”

Then, Tung, the round table fell from the air.

I sit down first, and the El Balom executives sit down one after another.

Alice asks.

“Master, I believed you. I knew you would win.”

“Okay. Thanks.”

“Now what?”

“Now then, from now on.”

The moonlight pouring down from the sky lays on our bodies as if they were overlapping. Like this, in a beautiful scenery.

“We will vote for and against whether to kill or save this guy.”

A heartwarming executive meeting began.
