Episode 302. Into the Secret (4)
“Here we go.”
An ice cave located beneath a steep ice cliff.
It was exactly 5 minutes away from the spot where the dark elf was first seen.
“As I said before, we will not allow entry. Please do not cross where I am standing.”
Elfuris said as he blocked the entrance.
I came to this place because it was a dragon’s nest.
Of course, it’s not Marian’s Nest that I went to.
They just brought it to a random cave nearby and lied that it was a nest.
It’s like standing like a dog guarding the house so you can’t check inside.
It was so absurd that I couldn’t even laugh.
But I can’t react to a situation like this by telling them not to do anything.
To begin with, I am just an outsider with no connection to the White Elf clan.
Anyone who sees me installing this place, saying it is not Marian’s nest, will be suspicious.
That’s not the only problem.
This cave he guided me to.
It was definitely not a dragon’s nest, but it didn’t look like an ordinary cave either.
I felt something unusual, and there was even a faint, but faint, smell of blood.
In other words, this is a place where you need to look inside.
For now, this elf is watching with both eyes open, so it’s better to come and check later… … .
“hey.”
“… … ?”
“Where do they sell this drug?”
Kayram, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed and said.
“Did you think that if you said this was a dragon’s nest, I would say, ‘Oh, that’s right?’”
“W-what are you saying?”
“I can’t feel anything magical inside. Is this some kind of frozen dragon’s nest?”
I wasn’t the only one who noticed he was lying.
Although she appears to have a human body on the outside, she is truly a divine being with divine powers.
A being that can sense divine energy, a dragon’s unique energy.
“M-Marian is the guardian of our clan. “I just couldn’t reveal the resting place of such a holy person to outsiders like you!”
Elpuris made an excuse, saying he didn’t tell us because he was wary of us.
“okay? “Then can I go inside?”
At that moment, Elfuris’ eyes shook greatly.
“why? “It’s not a dragon’s nest, so it’s okay to go in, right?”
He bit down hard, unable to answer.
“hey. “Look right in my eyes.”
“… … !”
“Are you hiding something?”
“Nothing like that!”
“What is missing? While grunting like a brat who hid snacks! Why can’t I just say it? “Do I have to cut somewhere to open my mouth?”
Kayram exuded an incredibly murderous spirit, as if he would tear him into dozens of pieces at any moment.
That moment,
“Kiaak!”
Suddenly, a strange crying sound was heard from inside the cave.
It was a truly unfamiliar sound, something I had never heard from any animal or demonic beast.
-Tap-tap-tap
Following the crying, footsteps were also heard.
Soon, the masters of sound appeared beyond the dark cave.
They are running towards us with razor-sharp nails and bloodshot eyes.
It was a dark elf.
“A dark elf crawling out of the nest? How do you explain this?”
“Explanation later! “We have to stop them first!”
I habitually put my hand in my arms.
But all you catch is dust.
Oh my, I momentarily forgot that I didn’t have a sword.
– Wedge!
In that moment, Kayram rushed forward.
“You slow bastards, just tear it up!”
She took out her sword in an instant and cut through the space at a frightening speed.
but,
-swish
“… … !”
The dark elf’s neck was not split.
The moment the sword was swung, I ducked and dodged it.
“Look at this guy?”
Kayram did not panic, but instead opened his eyes and fired additional attacks.
-swish swish

However, even that was avoided by all dark elves.
“Kaaak!”
He even counterattacked by swinging his claws at Kayram.
It was a movement that was clearly different from the dark elves seen in front of the village during the day.
“Isn’t it fun? “This is different from the slow guys from earlier, right?”
A smile spread across Kayram’s mouth, as if he was rather amused by the changed pace and atmosphere.
“Frozen Land!”
At that moment, a magic spell was heard from behind.
Without even having time to turn my head, a bitter cold erupted from beneath my feet, instantly covering the surroundings.
Soon, my feet became stuck to the ground as if they were one with me and I could not move.
“what? “Why is this like this?”
Kayram’s movements were also blocked.
At the same time, the feet of the dark elves around him also froze,
-Kwajangchang!
They quickly broke the ice and rushed towards Kayram again.
“Eight!”
Elfuris immediately ran away without looking back.
“Where are you doing such stupid things!”
Kayram tried to escape from the freeze.
However, if she tried to forcefully remove her frozen feet, she could have had them amputated, so she had to be stopped.
“Calm down! Then the leg is amputated!”
“What do you know! “It’s not even my body!”
He’s still as reckless as ever.
First, they used magic to thaw my legs first.
“hey! You go quickly and catch that bastard! “I’ll take care of these guys!”
She told me to track down Elpuris who ran away,
I’m not the one to listen to that.
I raced towards Kayram, not Elfuris.
“I’ll borrow it for a moment.”
“… … !”
Then, she snatched the magic sword she was holding and rushed at the dark elves.
– Wedge!
He swung his sword at a faster speed than Kayram, but the dark elf evaded it without difficulty.
The moment I dodged, I saw his eyes.
In that time of less than 0.1 second, his eyes rolled in all directions.
It seemed like he had predicted the direction in which I would swing the sword and avoided it in that short period of time.
The reaction speed is beyond the line.
However, in the end, the reaction must be seen and confirmed with your own eyes in order for it to lead to action.
If that view is blocked, no matter how fast your reaction speed is, it is useless.
“Ammu Type 7: Block vision!”
As he recited the spell, black fog gathered in the other hand that was not holding the sword.
I grabbed the collected fog like a ball and threw it straight at the charging dark elves.
-Hwaak
Soon, the concentrated fog spread in an instant and covered the faces of the dark elves.
“Keeeeek!”
The dark elves, who had suddenly lost their sight, were struggling.
I shook my head back and forth to clear the fog, but it was no use.
Without hesitation, I ran and swung my sword.
-wedge
What good is it to have good reaction speed when your field of vision is blocked?
They all fell helplessly to my sword strikes.
-Growling
I proceeded right away with the ignition magic.
“… … .”
Kayram’s expression as he looks at me is clearly one of shock.
It was similar to the expression he made when he first reunited with her at the temple after returning.
Without hesitation, I approached her and first removed the ice spell.
“You bastard, do you really want to die?”
Then he immediately grabbed me by the collar and pulled me up.
“How dare you touch my body without permission? Should I take your limbs and tear them into dozens of pieces? A guy who doesn’t know anything about me… … !”
-Sigh
I handed the sword back to her without a word.
Kayram looked back and forth between the sword and my face, then made a clicking sound and turned around.
“Are your feet okay?”
“Don’t worry, you bastard!”
I was quite concerned about the way it was limping, but it felt like it would really tear me apart if I touched it any further.
“Keeeeek!”
At that time, another crying sound was heard from inside the cave.
I focused my attention on the place where the sound came from, but nothing else approached me like before.
“Don’t you think we need to check inside?”
It’s important to catch the elf who ran away after stabbing him in the back, but first, you need to check why the dark elf appeared in this cave.
Kairam glared at me fiercely, as if he didn’t like my opinion,
“I’ll see you after this.”
He said that one word and passed me by.
I silently followed behind her.
* * *
“omg! omg!”
Elfuris is running urgently on the cold snow.
I looked back often to see if someone was following me.
“Wow!”
Then I lost my footing and fell forward.
The skin was chafed by the sharp eyes, so much so that the back of my arm split open and red blood oozed out.
The moment you quickly gather yourself and try to run away again,
– Jeopuk
Someone’s footsteps were heard in front of him.
Elpuris’ breathing became increasingly heavy as the stranger was getting closer.
With only urgent breathing sounding in the fierce wind,
“… … .”
Finally, a woman appeared in front of Elpuris.
“haha… !”
Elfuris’s face instantly spread joy as he faced her.
“Oh, you’re here!”
The woman, with long golden hair flowing elegantly, approached Elpuris with a gentle smile.
Then, without saying a word, I healed his open wound.
“Thank you, savior!”
Elfuris, who was bowing down to express his gratitude, quickly raised his head.
“But something happened! Let’s investigate the dark elves in Pruina now, and they… … .”
“The owner of the magic sword has arrived, right?”
The woman smiled leisurely, as if she already knew everything.
“Yes, that’s right! “How do you do that?”
“The god of the black fog noticed it sooner than I thought. I never thought I would send the owner of the magic sword directly. In other words, it should be said that he is no longer the owner of the magic sword, but the nature of the magic sword itself… … .”
Elfuris, who did not understand the woman’s words, reacted in confusion.
“You should not return to the village for the time being, but hide somewhere. “I’ll call you again when I’m done.”
“I will follow the instructions of my savior! However, there is one more dangerous being besides the owner of the magic sword!”
“A dangerous being?”
“yes! At first, I thought it was just a subordinate, but there was something unusual about it. Not only was it not enough to accurately identify the dark elf, but the aura felt was very ominous. Maybe even more dangerous than the master of the magic sword!”
“is it so? “I’ve never heard of such a being by her side?”
She touched her lips, feeling both curious and curious.
“Well, anyway, I understand. “Let me remember that.”
The woman passed Elpuris that way.
“May Rumendel’s grace be with you!”
Elpuris looked behind the woman and praised the God of Light.
“I’m really looking forward to how miserable the end of the sword that lost its owner will be.”
-Whoa!
“Isn’t that right? Durandark?”
As if in response to the woman’s question, a golden glow momentarily appeared from the long sword hanging on her waist.
