Episode 300. Into the Secret (2)
Stars twinkle brightly as if embroidered on the dark night sky.
As she looked blankly at the blazing bonfire below, she suddenly asked me.
“Have you ever been to Pruina?”
“there is.”
“Whatever?”
“it is cold.”
“Anything else?”
“It’s very windy.”
“It means it’s an annoying place.”
He seemed to furrow his brows, then suddenly looked at my face.
“How did you know I was a demon sword?”
“I knew it when I saw it.”
“eye?”
“yes. “Who would look into those eyes and think they were human?”
“Have you often been told that you are bold?”
“I hear it often.”
I ignored it and rummaged around the campfire.
“Ugh, no matter how I mix it up, this is no fun. “I’m going to cut it, so don’t put out that fire and take good care of it.”
She yawned so loudly that her jaw dropped, and then she turned around, saying she was going to sleep.
For now, I went along with her without arousing suspicion, but there are still a lot of things I don’t know.
In such a situation, there is no need to arouse suspicion by speaking too much.
What on earth do these old records want to show me?
I was just curious as to why she was going to Pruina right now.
hmm?
While I was watching her with narrowed eyes, I noticed something strange.
That thing she’s cutting her head on, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a book, right?
“why? what? “Do you have anything to say?”
Perhaps she was aware of my harsh gaze, she asked without turning around.
“that… … Are you sleeping with a book on your back?”
“book? Oh this? I just had no use for it, so I was using it as a pillow. If you’re bored, read it yourself.”
Then he suddenly threw it to me.
When I read the book, my eyes opened wide.
Is this really possible?
“It’s a book or something, but it’s a book for followers of the Black Mist. “It was written by the original owner of this body.”
I couldn’t believe it, but it was real.
This is a sermon.
The same foggy edict that was spread across the continent when Boris took control of the imperial family.
I accidentally see the original version here.
“What would you do if you sprayed something like that on a hundred days? How can you use it to educate humans? In the end, Ji couldn’t hold on and left first.”
Dio Harpenkers, the author of the book.
The head of the Silica family had previously said that he was the head of a clan that followed Aer in the old world and the former owner of Kayram.
It is said that Kayram ate its owner.
Purely due to his request.
“The owner of that body no longer exists?”
“okay. He said he couldn’t eat any more and begged me to eat him, so I ate him. Thanks to you, I gained a body I didn’t want… … .”
She didn’t seem to be very happy about being given a human body.
“what the. Even if you fight to the death with me now, it’s not enough. Why don’t you just go to the land of the insignificant elves? Does that idiot have a mind? “Is there nothing there?”
“Why did Aer send the Demon Sword to Pruina?”
“Do I understand? Are you saying that Rummendel has a plan or something? “If I just go, I’ll have work to do.”
In the end, you don’t even know why you have to go.
“As you may have already guessed, this war will probably be lost by that bastard god. Then you will be stripped of your divine title and kicked out of the divine world.”
“Then what happens to you, Demon Sword?”
“me? As for me, no matter who wins, I will be buried in some unknown place with that unlucky Holy Sword bitch. “God’s weapons are always sealed in some dark corner of the basement after a war.”
That unknown place was right under our house.
I wonder what the selection criteria were, but as of now, I probably won’t be able to get an answer if I ask.
“I’m really going to cut you now, so shut up. “Don’t put out the lights.”
After saying those words, Kayram went to sleep again.
I spent an unfamiliar night gathering my thoughts around a blazing campfire.
So the next morning dawned,
-Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
As the cool wind suddenly transformed into a sharp wind that felt like tearing flesh, Kayram and I finally entered the entrance to Pruina.
“It’s so cold!”
Kayram frowned heavily and continued to exhale.
I, too, am not very strong against the cold, so I wrapped my cloak around me even more and took a step forward.
“hey! “Give me that cloak!”
“You mean the cloak?”
“okay! I’m just wearing a hat all alone! “Give it to me when I have something nice to say!”

This has no blade strength whatsoever.
The last means of maintaining heat was also taken away.
It’s so damn cold.
For a moment, I walked forward with such a frown on my face.
“Stop!”
Ten white elves wearing white hoods appeared and blocked our path.
“This is Pruina, our white elf territory. Entry by outsiders is strictly prohibited, so please return home.”
It’s still not a bad treat compared to when I started throwing arrows at my face from the beginning.
Of course, that’s what I think, but it doesn’t mean that this is what Demon Sword here thinks.
“Because I came to help you. “Stop fooling around and open the road!”
“You came to help us!?”
All the elves couldn’t help but be confused as to what this meant.
“I don’t know what your intention is, but our White Elf clan has absolutely no reason to accept help from humans like you! “Stop talking nonsense and go home quickly!”
“Does something seem to be going on? “You can’t hide your facial expressions?”
“… … !”
As she said, the elves’ expressions were somewhat strange.
To be precise, I would say it’s unnatural.
They all frowned slightly as if they had hit the nail on the head when they heard that they had come to help.
“I’m not helping you because you’re pretty. If something happens, don’t be shy and blow it. “I told you to solve it quickly and leave.”
“Wow, we can’t communicate! If things keep going like this, we too… … !”
“Excuse me for a moment.”
I, who couldn’t see anything, stepped in to stand in the way between them.
“hey! You told me to block my path as you please… … !”
When she reacted impatiently, I raised my hand to stop her.
Then I made eye contact with the elf who seemed to be the leader.
“Would you mind telling me what happened in Pruina now?”
“It has nothing to do with you!”
It sure looks like something is going on.
“Unfortunately, we are also in a position where we cannot just go back like this. Please believe that I am here to help you with pure purpose and no malice.”
“What are we looking at that makes us believe you humans?”
One elf who was watching couldn’t see anything and started shouting and fuming.
It’s not like I can’t understand it.
Two strangers, I don’t know where they came from, came here to help me out.
To persuade them, we will have to at least show that we clearly have the ability to help.
I turned my head to Kayram again.
“Please come forward.”
“what?”
“What kind of person is Dio? “I need you to show me.”
Even though she had a bug-bitten expression on her face, she stepped forward as if she had no choice.
While taking out the main body of the demon sword from his chest.
“… … !”
All the elves who faced the energy of the magic sword in front of them had their mouths wide open.
“So, are you the master of the magic sword?”
While we were looking at each other, not knowing what to do,
The leader elf spoke with a determined expression, as if he had decided on something.
“Can you give me a moment?”
He said he wanted to talk to the other elves in the village through emotion, and I said yes.
I waited like that for about 10 minutes.
As if the story ended well, the elves finally opened the way.
“Please follow me.”
He then volunteered to be the guide, saying he would lead him to the village.
The moment you try to follow them without any problems,
“hey!”
She immediately called me again.
When I turned my head, he waved his hand as if asking me to come closer.
I approached without hesitation.
“If you stand in my way one more time… … .”
Then he put his mouth to my ear,
“Kill it.”
He gave me a heart-wrenching warning and passed me by.
I headed toward the village, looking behind her with calm eyes.
* * *
“Nice to meet you humans who have set foot in Pruina.”
As we entered the village, an elf with a long beard came out and welcomed us.
“I am Tartaris, an elder of the White Elf clan.”
Of course, this was a completely different elf than the elder named Elfuris I saw in reality.
“I heard that there is a master of the magic sword. “Did the God of the Black Mist send you here?”
“Well, that’s kind of it.”
“hmm. I don’t know if you sent it knowing something, but I’ll explain it as I go. “Please come this way.”
Following the elder’s guidance, we moved into the village.
“Recently, strange beings have started appearing in our village.”
“A strange being?”
“yes. It certainly looked like our clan from the outside, but it had pitch-black skin as if its entire body had been burned, and it was so vicious that it was impossible to communicate with it at all. It also showed tremendous aggression comparable to that of a demonic beast. ”
“what? “Is there such a thing in this world?”
“It would be better to see it for yourself and see for yourself.”
Eventually, we arrived at a shady, dark space a bit far from the residential area.
A large number of elves were standing guard around the area.
In front of me was a large tent covering something.
The elder had no hesitation and immediately put up the tent.
-bang!
“… … !”
Everyone took a step back, but only Kayram and I maintained our upright posture.
I had a rough idea of it when I first heard the explanation, but seeing it in person made it even more impressive.
A black-skinned elf showing his sharp teeth as he clutches the ice bars.
It looked like it was ready to break the bars and rush at us at any moment.
“therefore… … . “What should I call him?”
“For now, we call them dark elves.”
Dark elf.
This is the same race that was said to have put the White Elf clan in danger in the past.
It is difficult to say that it was our first meeting, but if we were to discuss the feeling of seeing a living person rather than a frozen person, it would be
This is a complete hybrid between a demonic beast and an elf.
It certainly looked similar to an elf. but… … .
Horns growing obliquely on top of the head.
Nails and teeth sharpened like blades.
Even the red, bloodshot eyes that seemed to be soaked in blood,
These are not elf body parts.
These were things that only demons or demonic beasts would have.
“When we first discovered it, it was wary of us and ran away, but before we knew it, it attacked our clan members on patrol and even showed up near the village, continuing to threaten us.”
Glancing around, I saw that some of the elves standing guard had bandages wrapped around their bodies.
“It’s not like you didn’t have any means of defense, right? “Can’t we just kill them all with magic?”
“The problem actually lies after killing them.”
The elder gave some instructions to an elf.
Then the elf who approached us suddenly wrapped the bandage around his arm and took off the bandage, showing the inner skin.
Kayram and I frowned at the same time.
“What is this?”
“It is a wound suffered by that dark elf. “It was just a scratch, but as time went by, as if I had been poisoned, the flesh began to rot, and now it has reached this point.”
Around the wound, dark spots were raised, which contrasted with the pure white skin unique to white elves, and were extremely ugly.
First of all, the magic seemed to have stopped the progress itself.
“It seems that their secretions and blood contain a very deadly poison. “If the corpse is left as it is, it will emit a tremendous stench and rot the surrounding area.”
In other words, it is a real nuisance that is difficult to handle carelessly.
Where on earth did these guys come from?
It may be natural, but it cannot have occurred naturally.
Unless someone created it artificially, such a bizarre being… … .
“Elder Tartaris!”
At that time, an elf hurriedly ran behind us, calling for an elder.
“Dark elves have appeared near the village!”
