< First words >
It was almost at the same time that the Great Man struck the ground and Modrea released her bowstring.
Peet!
An arrow grazed his shoulder. The man twisted his upper body to avoid the attack and raised his Heavenly Sword Technique to the extreme. He rushed straight to Modrea.
WHEEK!
The distance quickly narrowed. But at that moment, Modrea’s body was engulfed in the wind.
Modrea’s body, which had stepped on the backstep, instantly fell back about ten meters. At the same time, she pulled back the bowstring.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
No arrow was needed. As soon as he pulled the bowstring, a flaming arrow was attached to his bow.
A magical palace created by Archmage Dreitz for his beloved lover.
It was an artifact that could create magic arrows of various elements according to the user’s will.
-Phew!
An arrow that grazed the man’s face exploded behind him.
Before the hot heat from behind could even dissipate, an ice arrow flew straight at me.
Tsk tsk tsk!
An ice arrow flew in, freezing the air, and aimed for the man’s leg. The man kicked the ground and jumped up.
Tadah!
Modrea aimed her bow at the giant floating in the air. The doll’s numb eyes aimed at the target’s heart.
Dduk dduk!
An arrow made of stone flew with a heavy momentum. The man swung his sword in the air and struck the arrow.
Phew!
The stone arrow shattered. But behind it, an invisible wind arrow secretly shot by Modrea followed.
The startled man twisted his body in the air and shouted.
“shield!”
Crap!
The hastily deployed shield was easily torn. However, it bought some time, which was enough time for the man to dodge the arrows.
“Phew···.”
The man who had landed on the ground stopped rushing and raised his sword. A sinister magic began to rise from Shalit.
The man spoke with a slightly impressed expression on his face.
“The original is different. It moves differently than the fakes I’ve seen.”
The original Modrea that the Great Ones had fought in the past was eventually destroyed by the Superhumans.
After that, Draitz’s dungeon was excavated, and the method of making Modrea dolls was discovered through the magic book he left behind.
Since then, many superhumans have carried around Modrea dolls, to the point where it was once a trend, but none of them have been able to match the quality of the original.
But now, another original Modrea doll was right in front of me.
The man spoke with shining eyes.
“I have to take it even if it means going through some trouble.”
“······.”
Modrea simply aimed her bow and watched the man closely.
Tadah!
Once again, the great man kicked the ground and charged. Modrea stepped back and pulled back the bowstring.
The same development as before.
What has changed is that the interpersonal relationship has become familiar with the other person’s movements and patterns.
‘When the red spirit stone on the forehead shines, it is a flame arrow.’
The moment the red spirit stone embedded in Modrea’s forehead sparkled, the man took out a liquid nitrogen capsule from his bosom and threw it into the air.
-Phew!
The flame arrow and the capsule collided and exploded in midair. Liquid nitrogen consumed the flame, releasing a cloud of white vapor.
WHEEK!
The great man cut through the steam and closed the distance even further. He saw Modrea retreating. For a moment, the blue spirit stone embedded in her chin sparkled.
‘If it’s blue, it’s an ice arrow.’
The man swung his sword while circulating his internal energy throughout his body to prepare for the cold.
The ice arrow shattered and the cold air exploded. However, the man, who had already prepared, closed the distance while minimizing the stiffness of his body due to the cold.
WHEEK!
As the distance narrowed to half, Modrea’s body was engulfed in a stronger wind. At the same time, the green spirit stone piercing her navel glowed.
The man grinned and muttered.
“Is green the wind arrow?”
“······.”
The man spread his shield in front and simultaneously swung his sword to create a sword barrier.
Wind arrows are fast and stealthy, but have the weakest power.
Ting ting ting ting!
Most of the wind arrows bounced away, but a few grazed the limbs and wounded them.
Instead, the Great Man managed to break through Modrea’s offensive and catch up with her.
“Let’s start by putting out the flames.”
He extended his left hand and aimed it at Modrea’s forehead. Then he struck her hard.
Crack! Crack!
The red spirit stone on her forehead shattered and Modrea’s body lurched backwards.
“······.”

But, as expected of a doll that can’t feel pain, Modrea didn’t panic. She used the force of her body bending backwards to kick her long legs forward.
Peet!
The tip of her foot brushed the man’s chin. While the man flinched and stepped back, Modrea did a backflip to gain some distance again.
The man wiped the blood from his chin with the back of his hand.
“I let my guard down.”
The tip of his chin almost split in two like those of Western actors. The man shook his head repeatedly and approached Modrea without letting his guard down.
Even though she couldn’t use a single spirit magic, Modrea was strong. She still had three spirit stones left, and her physical abilities were also excellent.
But the man was stronger than him, and he knew how to attack.
Phew!
The blue spirit stone of the mind was broken,
Damn!
The green spirit stone on the belly button was split in half,
Purseok!
The brown spirit stone between the wing bones turned to dust.
dump.
As all the spirit stones shattered, Modrea’s body fell apart powerlessly.
The man holding Modrea wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Whew. This is quite a challenge.”
Looking back, the Chimera Elf side was also being sorted out. Leonard and Hawkin’s chemistry was quite good.
After a while, the three men who had finished fighting gathered together again.
Leonard said with a slightly blush on his face after seeing Modrea.
“Won’t that kill you?”
The man smiled happily and nodded.
“I’m taking this with me. I might use it later.”
Wow, this is an original Modrea doll.
It had various uses depending on how it was used.
Guardian, Housekeeper, could be included in the team as a ranged dealer when returning to Earth, and was also good as a porter.
“Hehehe···.”
As the man smiled as he thought about the many uses for Modrea, Leonard and Hawkin’s expressions changed strangely.
‘no way···.’
‘No way···.’
A beautiful naked elf.
A young man holding the elf in one hand and smiling meaningfully.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was only one ‘place where it could be used’.
Leonard asked, just in case.
“That elf… didn’t you say she was a doll?”
The man nodded.
“It’s better because it’s a doll.”
Then he stroked Modrea’s head and smiled.
“I’ll go back and use it to my heart’s content.”
“!!”
As soon as they saw those blatant words and creepy smiles, the two men slowly moved behind the rock.
Leonard lowered his voice and whispered to Hawkin.
“I guess I’ll have to think about the princess thing again.”
Hawkin also nodded with a serious expression.
“Yes. I think so too. I never thought he’d be a pervert…”
At that moment, a man’s voice was heard from behind the rock.
“What are you two doing there?”
They were startled, like children caught doing something bad.
“Oh, it’s nothing!”
“I’ll be there soon!”
***
Archmage Draitz’s dungeon.
In fact, it was called a dungeon, but it was just a small cabin built in the middle of a foggy forest.
But in this cabin and the cellar below, there were many achievements that Dreitz had left behind during his lifetime.
“Let’s go in.”
The group of elders arrived in front of the hut and went inside. The elder had Modrea wrapped in cloth on his shoulders like a load.
Hawkin looked around the cabin and exclaimed in admiration.
“It’s amazing. The preservation magic lasts this long···.”
Inside the cabin, there was only a simple living space, a bed, a bookshelf, and a desk. The bookshelf was filled with books.
The man took out a thick book titled “Draitz and Modrea” from the bookshelf.
I knew the content without even reading it.
A story of passionate love, separation, hatred and betrayal between a wizard and an elf.
It was a novel containing Dreitz’s autobiographical story.
This is a story about a superman who read the book out of curiosity, then felt it was a waste to read it alone, so he translated it and shared it with his friends, and eventually it was officially published.
‘A proven bestseller.’
It was a blockbuster work that later became a movie, drama, and cartoon.
But later, due to complicated copyright issues, the superman who discovered this book was unable to earn a single penny.
Of course, the man had no intention of making the same mistake.
‘I’ll leave it up to the guild to handle later.’
The man smiled happily and put the book in his bag.
At that moment, Hawkin, who was investigating inside the cabin, shouted in an excited voice.
“There is an entrance to the basement here!”
The three of them cautiously headed to the cabin’s basement. Unlike the two who were very nervous, the elder walked ahead with brisk strides.
“Be careful! If there’s a trap….”
“What is the trap?”
The basement was only about 100 pyeong.
It’s too small to be called a wizard’s dungeon.
But inside it was full of all kinds of mysteries.
Hawkin, a wizard more than anyone else, was surprised.
“oh my god···!!”
A magical aura felt everywhere underground.
On one side, magical materials that were hard to obtain even in the palace were piled up neatly, and on one wall, there were bookshelves lined with magical books.
Among them was a magic book that is now said to have been lost.
dump.
Hawkin, his legs giving out, fell to his knees.
“Have I perhaps come to heaven?”
Leonard also looked around with a surprised expression, although not as surprised as the wizard.
“···That’s amazing.”
While the two people were surprised, the man walked towards the innermost part without hesitation.
I couldn’t take everything that was in there.
There is no need to do that.
“The best thing. You have to start with things that money can’t buy.”
The man who muttered like that stopped in front of an old wooden box.
Sparks, water drops, stones, feathers.
A box with symbols of the four elements drawn on it.
Among the masterpieces created by Archmage Draitz, the second most famous item after the doll Modrea was contained here.
“Phew···.”
The man took a deep breath and opened the box. The box creaked, perhaps because it had not been opened for a very long time.
Squeak- boom!
The lid of the box fell back, but there was nothing inside.
“······.”
To be exact, there was nothing to see with the eyes.
Instead, the man could feel the power of the spirit swirling inside the box. The man put his hand into the box.
Chijijik!
Sparks flew at his fingertips. The man flinched for a moment, but soon pushed his hand back in.
As if probing the opponent, the spirit tapped the man’s hand.
Crackle, crackle!
My fingertips felt like they were on fire, then frozen, then a sharp wind cut through my skin, then an invisible force tightened them to the point where my blood stopped flowing.
The man frowned and endured the pain.
“Ugh···.”
If he had raised his magic power, he could have shaken it off in one breath. However, the Great Man did not do so and remained still.
Because I knew that this was the most important moment.
‘We can’t all come and ruin it.’
After a while, the power of the spirit that had finished its search began to rise up through the man’s fingertips.
Slurp.
The spirit that circled the entire body settled on the back of the great man’s right hand.
[Can I live here?]
I thought I heard a voice. To be exact, it wasn’t a voice.
Should I call it a will? The person who received that message smiled brightly.
“Fine. But I’ll collect a lot of rent.”
There was no answer. Instead, symbols of the four elements appeared one after another on the back of the man’s hand, then disappeared completely.
Ssssssssut.
After all the steps were completed, the man repeatedly clenched and unclenched his right hand.
“Not much has changed.”
But for sure, I could feel the power of the spirits stirring within my body.
***
The group destroyed the permanent fog magic circle that had been installed in the basement and came outside.
Ss …
The fog that had enveloped the forest was dispersing. The hazy fog disappeared, revealing the lush forest hidden within.
and,
Thud. Thud.
The zombie elves roaming the forest lost their strength and fell to the ground.
The man looked back at the group of three and said.
“Then shall we go back?”
The two people and one doll nodded. They were each carrying a large sack.
“Modrea. Take me to the fastest route to the Elf Forest.”
“······.”
Modrea nodded silently and led the way.
The Great Man exchanged the highest grade spirit stone he found in the basement for Modrea. After that, the doll woke up again and recognized the Great Man as its owner.
It was thanks to the power of the spirit he possessed.
“Haha. I feel like I’ve entered a treasure trove.”
Leonard muttered as he felt the weight of the sack resting on his shoulder.
The most expensive and best ones were all taken by the great man, but the rest were of enormous value as well.
It will definitely be of great help to the future plan.
It was a tremendous discovery, especially in the field of magic.
“This is the magic book written by the great wizard Dreitz···.”
All the way back, Hawkin couldn’t take his eyes off Draitz’s magic book he had brought from the cabin.
If he ever achieves magical feats again, it will surely be thanks to the great man.
Leonard looked at the man with a face full of gratitude.
“Thank you so much… I know I can’t thank you enough, but I really do.”
The man nodded dryly.
“If you know, you will definitely repay the favor.”
“Of course! But that···”
Leonard glanced at Modrea walking ahead.
The doll was naked and wearing only a loose robe, but every time it moved, its body curves were revealed, making it look quite masculine.
“You. For the sake of the princess, you should behave a little more properly…”
“What? What are you talking about?”
Leonard looked embarrassed as the man turned around and frowned.
“Um. That is···.”
It was when Leonard was hesitating and trying to explain in a specific way that would not offend the other person.
Woohoo!
At the sudden vibration, the man put his hand into his arms.
An object he had forgotten about for a while came into his hand.
“This is···.”
A communication crystal ball obtained by killing Gold Mary in Randolph’s Thieves Guild.
A small goblin face engraved under the crystal ball was radiating magical power.
Woohoo!
The man stopped in his tracks. He spoke in a firm voice.
“From now on, no one should open their mouths. Don’t even come near me.”
As I breathed magic into the crystal ball, a red-faced goblin appeared above the previously transparent crystal ball.
The goblin mask asked in a cracked voice.
[Who are you?]
What should I say to this kid first? Daein thought for a moment.
