Chapter 46 – 46. Thunderbolt

Pew-!

White smoke fills the room. Yohan was started and covered himself. I thought a bomb had exploded, but it wasn’t.

The smoke went away—and John realized that the elf in front of him had disappeared.

“…… What, where did you go?”

Johan, who suddenly got up from her seat and approached the place where the village chief was, saw that there was a stuffed toy of hers in the seat where she was sitting, and picked it up.

A stuffed toy that a 3-year-old child would play with. Upon closer inspection, it was a doll with the characteristics of the village headman we saw earlier.

Long ears, mature looks, big breasts…….

Johann realized that the elf sitting in front of him was a fake. And there was only one person who could do this.

‘…… Witch?’

This is behind the great mountain range, where even Master would not approach it as dangerous. John wondered why he hadn’t tried to approach him so much, but now he’s got a sense of it.

If this mountain range was another witch’s realm, Master, who hated fighting, did not need to aim for this mountain range.

And, of course, witches are dangerous. The witches she met had the ability to kill at least one person casually.

“You have to run away quickly…….”

Realizing that this was a miniature garden created by a witch, Johan devised a plan to escape. He subdues the guards standing outside for the time being, before the other elves can grasp the situation—.

Drooling-!

“What, where is the village chief…….”

And then the elf who opened the door and came in found the doll in John’s hand and hardened his expression. A passionate reaction as if a taboo that should never be discovered was discovered.

However, before John could take advantage of that response, the elf immediately blew his whistle. A super-high frequency emergency signal that the human ear cannot hear.

Soon after, elves from all over the city began to gather to hunt John.

* * *

Sweet-!

Arrows fly There is a place to escape. However, it should not be avoided.

“Ugh-!”

He tried to catch the arrow with his hand, but failed, and the skin of his hand became a rag. As I looked around, frowning in pain, dozens of arrows flew in and pierced the space where I could have avoided the arrows.

Thanks to standing in place, I was able to avoid the arrow, but soon after, the arrow flew at an unpredictable, close-to-random beat.

‘You bastards—!’

Swearing inwardly, he looked for shelter around him. I hid behind the house and made a lull for a while, but even that didn’t last long.

Sweet-!
Too-wook!

“Crazy!”

I pressed myself against the wall, watching the arrows drop from the sky like a howitzer. Then arrows start pouring down like rain from the sky.

Realizing that there was no escape outside, I immediately smashed through the wall and entered the house. Inside, the elves waiting for me to enter rushed at me with kitchen knives.

Rather, it was more comfortable this way. As I deflected the running knife and lightly activated the magic, an elf turned into a doll.

Seeing this, the young elf trembled and pointed his weapon at me.

“…… Lord, die-!”
“I’m sorry, because you can’t beat me anyway. Put it down.”
“I hate it! You murderer!”
“Who is the killer…… On the subject of dolls.”

As he approached, scratching the back of his head, the young elf swung the weapon he was holding in his hand at random.

Dodging lightly, she dropped her weapon and lightly overpowered her.

“Kyaaaaah”

“Don’t scream. If anyone sees it, you’ll know they’re going to kill you.”

“Well, then-! On the subject of just killing my dad-! On a human subject!”

“Yes, yes, about dolls. Let’s not work hard and be nice to each other, shall we?”

Saying that, I took the girl hostage and went up to the second floor of the house. Be aware of the location of windows and furniture, and hide yourself in a place where arrows will not hit.

Then I thought of a way to get out of here.

‘Instructor, you should have taught me this. Fuck….’

He was somehow enduring with the weapon techniques, tactics, tracking, escaping, and dokdo techniques he had learned from Ludwig, but the opponent was really bad.

Elves are called forest hunters. Master of the bow, master of hunting. I don’t know if that’s the case in this world, but if you look at the ability to shoot a bow or drive yourself, there probably won’t be that much of a difference from what you predicted.

Above all, the numerical inferiority was the biggest problem. The other side seemed to be trying to kill herself somehow, and in the process, it seemed like the lives of one or two elves were not a waste…….

Fire-!

“What the fuck.”

Suddenly, the surroundings began to be covered with fire demons. Realizing the reason before long, I frowned and thought of the elves lighting a fire outside.

‘Crazy bastards.’

Even though there are hostages on this side, they didn’t seem to care about that at all. The flames start getting stronger. I removed the furniture I had been blocking and prepared to run out the window.

Since there are only two ways to get out, I could fully expect to be turned into a hedgehog by an arrow the moment I got out.

“Hey you. Die like this Are you okay?”
“People will take revenge for you!”
“Those elves are trying to kill you……”

He let out a laugh as if it was absurd, then picked up the girl and stood up. Taktak, after preparing to stand up, he ran straight toward the window.

The moment I broke the window with my back and ran outside, as expected, arrows began to fly from all sides.

Watching the girl get scared when she saw the arrows flying at her, I stroked her hair as if to reassure her.

Fuu-!

Just a step before the flying arrows lodged in my body, I used magic on the girl I was holding in my arms. Her body reverts to a doll, causing a weak explosion.

It wasn’t very strong, but it was an explosion that could change the trajectory of an arrow for an instant. The smoke that came out after that covered my position.

I could see the elves who lost my position momentarily and slowly retreated without panic, but it was already too late.

‘A distance that can be seen.’

Using Ludwig’s secret skill, Super Acceleration, he arrives in front of the elves in an instant. The elves who discovered me opened their eyes wide and were started.

I reacted quickly and pointed my bow at me, but it was too late.

“One at a time.”

Fuu-!

Even if you touch it, you die. When the elves realized this, they began to tremble in fear. The death of one or two elves was an acceptable sacrifice, but the death of so many elves was unavoidable.

After sending two more elves back as dolls, I ran towards the frightened elves.

Like a lion falling among a flock of sheep, the elves scattered in dismay.

* * *

A room full of dolls, which anyone can see was made for a little girl. In the middle, the young witch frowned when she saw that the threads of the puppets connected to her suddenly snapped.

If the link to the teddy bear he sent a while ago had been broken, a very strong being had appeared, and it could be inferred that the vampire had died.

However, what is now breaking was not the thread from the teddy bear sent a while ago. The thread of the elves who have been making it since a long time ago.

“Why is this suddenly cut off?”

Oh, master. That means the elves are under attack now.

“What, really!?”

Yes, that’s a big deal. If we don’t go quickly, all the children who cook for the master might die.

“That’s a big deal then!”

The young witch, who was dealing with ventriloquism and talking with her doll, immediately put on a cloak and headed for the elven village.

With short strides and short legs, she sprinted all the way to town.

* * *

Massacre. It could only be expressed that way.

“Die—!”

The elves who stabbed their spears at the monster, who was too close to see and avoid the arrows, helplessly took their spears without even realizing what the monster was doing.

After the spear was taken away, the monster casually swung its weapon and turned the elves into puppets one by one.

Serial killers, psychopaths, and elves, who have already sacrificed dozens of villagers, wielded weapons to protect their families and lives with tears in their eyes.

‘I’m inexperienced.’

Johan naturally took the weapon and swung the spear at the elves. The beings who would have collapsed while shedding blood had they been the way they were, but the magic carried on the blade turns them back into puppets.

By turning dozens of elves into puppets, Yohan’s skills began to sharpen.

The arrows he saw so many times became a level that he could see and hit with his own eyes. Even if there were dozens of arrows flying, there was no big concern. If you can deflect one, dozens can too.

“Please get out of our village—!”
“Die, you monster!”

The fakes who got life through the witch’s magic burst into anger when they see the real life. John felt no emotion as he watched them cry.

They were puppets It was only then that I realized why they took on the form of elves. Elves never grow old, and anyone can be beautiful.

Like a doll…

“Ramiel—!”

And then, high in the sky, an angel rises. In a very lofty location, out of reach of magic.

Johann looked at the young witch who sneakily appeared wearing a cloak and a cone hat.

Suddenly appearing, she pointed her finger at John and shouted.

“Get rid of that guy!”
“This is my first time fighting a witch alone.”
“…… Uh?”

The witch was shocked to see John open her mouth, but the angel’s wheel started rolling faster than that.

Lightning struck the ground.
