Chapter 151 : The Underworld (2)
“Aaaargh!”
The warriors from the north fell, screaming unsightly, while Gloria descended gracefully, spreading her golden wings.
Her main body was a zombie, but her wings were like those of an angel.
“W-wait!”
Edward grabbed Bron, who had the weakest combat ability among the group, and jumped. He had given him a parachute, but it was doubtful whether he could use it properly.
Ẇ e̊b̂.n̊ o vе́l̇ Еnu m̂ӓ
“Young Master! Are you sure this is safe?”
Bron shouted urgently, glancing at the parachute he was wearing.

Although it had been hastily made by the dark-under-eye tribe goblins according to Edward’s orders, since they had referred to the blueprints in Gomille’s work journal and had conducted several mock tests, its performance would be certain.
The rest of the people had outstanding combat abilities, so if he just reduced their falling speed, they would survive on their own.
Flap!
When the bottom was visible, he saw William, who had jumped first, opening his parachute.
Ẃeb̊ ñ ô v̂ е̊ l̊ Е_ǹŭ m̃ а̇
As expected, the falling speed had noticeably decreased. One by one, starting with William, they landed on the ground.
Edward also opened his parachute. Although the falling speed had increased because of Bron’s weight, he was able to reduce the speed by expanding the parachute by adding the Master of Darkness.
“Hey, you son of a bitch! And you call yourself a brother!”
When he came down to the ground, William rushed at him.

“It’s been a while since you’ve been beaten, so you must have forgotten how scary your brother is.”
“I almost died because of you!”
Е nūṁӑ .і̊d
“You’re making a fuss for a guy who can’t even die.”
Everyone except Gloria sent a dissatisfied gaze, but he ignored it.
A thing that was right in the end was always right. It was enough that they had come down safely.
“Let’s go.”
Edward moved north, looking at the map Alfred had given him.
Stone pillars that connected the high ceiling and the floor appeared. The stone pillars were densely packed with sunstones that emitted a bright light like the sun.

The surroundings became bright, as if there were several small suns in the shape of pillars.
Around them, dark green plants that grew by eating the light emitted by the sunstones were growing, and they all had bizarre shapes that were hard to see on the surface.
“Some of them are poisonous, so be careful.”
Although not all of them were, poisonous plants were mixed in here and there.
You didn’t have to eat them to die; they would emit a poisonous mist if you went near them, so you had to avoid approaching them altogether.
‘I should just get rid of them all.’
Е.nu ḿа̊. î d̃
Edward walked, thinking about how he could make this road safe for even ordinary people with no combat ability to use.
“A forest in a place like this…”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
As they went forward, the plants became more lush, and a area that looked like a forest spread out. It seemed everyone was mesmerized by the sight they had never even imagined.
“From here on, it’s a real danger zone. Everyone, don’t let your guard down.”
“What comes out?”
William asked.
Ёńū m а. і̇d
“Dark elves.”
The dark elves with purple skin and silver hair were distant relatives of the elf race, but their disposition was the complete opposite.
Five hundred years ago, they had joined the Demon King’s army, contrary to their relatives, and had gone around slaughtering humans.
“Really?”

Or’s eyes widened.
“Is there a reason to lie all the way here?”
Wё_b̃ nõvѐ l Еn ū m ӑ
“No, why are you telling us something so important only now! Don’t you know how dangerous dark elves are!”
Elves and dark elves did not die from old age or disease. Since their lifespan was infinite, they had a lot of time to learn and practice numerous arts.
Although their numbers were small and the proportion of those with outstanding talent was low, a few masters surpassed the masters of other races.
The reason the arachne, who had gone down to the underworld, had not been able to migrate and had stayed in one place despite suffering from a food shortage was because the dark elves were holding out nearby.
“This is crazy!”
So everyone was jumping up and down at the news that dark elves were appearing.

“Hey, you subordinates. Why are you guys who look like your brains are made of muscle so scared?”
When William said a word, the warriors from the north blushed and shut their mouths.
In Edward’s view as well, they seemed to be excessively scared. If they didn’t have outstanding combat ability like Bron, he would have understood, but since they were all people who were something, it looked even stranger.
“What do you think, Saintess? Should we go back?”
“I am the spear of the god Theos. I do not fear the likes of the dark horde.”
“What about Bron?”
W е̂b̊ nо v̌ѐ.l̂ Е nū_m ȧ
“I’m not afraid either. Whether their skin is white or black, a pointy ear is a pointy ear. I will show you the pride of a dwarf warrior.”
When even the weakest, Bron, was like that, the warriors had even less to say.

“What’s so special about a dark elf? They’re the same in that they die if their heads are smashed.”
“For once, you’re saying something right. We have no choice. Let’s go.”
The group entered the forest, which looked like a single monster. The light emanating from the sunstones was also gradually covered by the bizarrely shaped trees.
Although it was covered in weeds, the road the Demon King’s army had used was still there. When they entered the center along the road, the fog became thick.

It was a perfect environment to be ambushed. When he sent a hand signal, everyone nodded and took out their respective weapons.
‘They’re here.’
A moment later, the Eye of God showed twenty dark elves who were hiding their figures in the darkness.
As befitting dark elves, they were all threateningly skilled, but fortunately, there was no being who could be called a master.

Their weapons were not bows, but daggers with curved blades. Although dark elves were also outstanding archers like their relatives, they were more famous as assassins. In particular, their ability to fight in the dark was superior to any other race.
Five hundred years ago, not one or two of the key figures of the anti-Demon King allied forces had been killed by dark elf assassins. Once you were on the dark elves’ kill list, you would lose your life no matter how ironclad your protection was.
Ẅе̊bn̈ö vĕ ľ Е nu mа̃
Tuk, tuk.
Edward gestured with his chin at William. After William nodded, he led the group instead.
Edward, who had seeped into the shadows of the forest using the Master of Darkness, approached the dark elves with his presence concealed.
‘Shall I see their skills?’
He wanted to test his assassination ability against a race that was called the master of assassination.
Rustle.

As he got closer, the dark elves who had been gathered scattered in all directions.
Some just passed by Edward. It seemed they didn’t know that there was an enemy nearby. Perhaps they were deliberately pretending to do so to deceive Edward.
The most accurate way to check whether it was a trap or not was to jump in. He stopped and hid his presence, and then he swung his sword at the last dark elf who was passing by. Seeing that he was the only one wearing clothes with splendid decorations, he seemed to be the leader.
But even the leader could not react to Edward’s surprise attack.
Slice!
“Ugh!”
Е̊n.ǔ m̈ а . і̌ d̂
Since he had no intention of killing him, he swung his sword in a zigzag and left cuts on one leg and one arm.
“Gak!”

After kicking the sword that was falling from his hand and sending it flying, he snatched the hair of the dark elf who was about to fall.
“Stop!”
When he shouted with mana while holding a sword to the leader’s neck, everyone stopped their movements.
“Hah…”
Е̌ n ü m̀ а̃
The dark elves were indeed dark elves.
While Edward was subduing the leader, the other dark elves had completely subdued most of the group. The northern warriors and Bron could not move because of the blades that were touching their necks.
On the other hand, William was strangling a nearby dark elf, and Gloria was about to smash her opponent’s head with a golden hammer.
“I’m fine! Kill the intruders!”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The leader who had been subdued by Edward shouted in the kingdom’s language. Although his accent was peculiar and there were expressions that were not used these days, it was definitely the kingdom’s language.
“What do you mean you’re fine, you idiot.”
W еb̀ n о̆ v ӗľ Е̂ ň u m_а
Although it was a great posture, he had chosen the wrong opponent.
Edward grabbed the leader’s hair and pulled him down, and at the same time, he raised his knee and broke his nose. He also didn’t forget to imbue it with aura.
Thwack!
“Gak!”
The leader staggered, spraying blood from his nose.
“Drop your swords. If this guy dies, you’re next. And for your information, I don’t just kill.”

Although the dark elves did not lower their swords, they could not stab either.
He was a leader they had been with for at least decades, so they couldn’t just let him die.
“What are you all doing! Quickly, ugh!”
He slammed his knee into the same place again.
“If you don’t want to live with a squashed nose for a thousand years, listen to me. The sooner you treat it, the higher the possibility of it returning to its original state.”
Elves and dark elves had one fatal weakness, and that was that their obsession with their appearance was greater than that of other races.
Е ṅû mа̇. і̂ ḋ
All elves had beautiful appearances. Since they did not experience aging, that appearance was maintained forever.
If their appearance was once ruined, they had to live in that state for thousands of years. Unlike other races who became ugly fairly as they aged, an elf who had once become ugly had to suffer forever while looking at the unchanging beauty of their own kind.

That’s why most elves who had gotten a disability or a flaw in their appearance due to battle took their own lives. To them, living with a ruined appearance was more terrible than dying.
“I’ll count to three. One.”
Thwack!
He struck his nose with his knee.

“Gak!”
“Two!”
One more time.
“Thwack!”

“Gaaak!”
“Three!”

One more time.
“Stop! Stop!”
When he grabbed his hair and lifted his face, the nose that had looked as sharp as a well-honed blade was completely crushed and looked hideous.
“What do you want?”
“Don’t touch them. And guide me to your queen.”
“Are you crazy?”

William was flabbergasted.
“I’ll give you the map, so go first. I’ll follow you soon. I have business with these guys.”
“What do you mean? No matter how much of a Young Master you are, you won’t survive if you go into the den of these devilish bastards.”
“I came this way to do this in the first place. Don’t worry and go. It’s an order.”
“You really have a way, right?”
“Yes.”

If his purpose was just to go to the north, he could just have a fight here and pass through the forest.
But his real purpose was to make this road safe for even the powerless to travel.

Then he had to negotiate with the real master of this forest. Although there was also the method of driving them out with war, it would take a lot of time and would also be a great loss. He would also need someone to manage the road after the war.
“Why are you trying to meet the queen?”
The leader with the broken nose asked.
“Do you think you’re in a position to ask questions right now?”
Еñu m̄ а
“…”
“Take it, William.”
Edward handed him the magic map he had received from Alfred.
“If you inject mana, you’ll see the road. If you don’t know what’s what, ask Bron.”

“Don’t die. It’s a hassle to go looking for your corpse.”
“Just find the road properly. Don’t wander around like an idiot.”
Е̌ n̊ ü m̈а .і̆ d̃
William gave him the middle finger once and then disappeared with the group.
The presence of the group disappeared. Now, all that was left was Edward, surrounded by twenty dark elves.
“If you chase them, I will tear your queen to pieces.”
“Hehehe.”
“Hahaha.”
The dark elves burst into laughter at Edward’s warning.

Thwack!
“Ugh!”
“Stop laughing, you idiots. Do you think this is a laughing matter?”
The leader’s nose was now not just flattened, but caved in.
“I’m already finished! Kill this person!”
The leader shouted in a rage. Edward sprayed the potion he had on his nose.
Ёn̊ ū m̆ а . і̆ d
“Ugh! What are you doing!”
The broken nose was quickly regenerating. The dark elves who had been approaching Edward with their swords drawn stopped.

“The fun of hitting you decreases when it becomes smooth.”
Thwack!
“Aaaargh!”
He broke the restored nose with his knee once more. The subordinates were at a loss and were fidgeting.

“Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life? Or will you politely guide me to the queen?”
“…Ah, I will guide you.”
“Did you hear that?”

The city of the dark elves was in the middle of a forest, like the city of the elves.
According to Alfred’s explanation, this city was a fortress that had been built when Baal had ruled the underworld.
Ё n ǔ m̊ã .і̌ d
“You guys also live and die for style.”
The city of the dark elves had an elegant charm like the city of the elves. There was a common point in that they had created it to be naturally connected to the surrounding plants, making the entire city look like a part of the forest.
But it gave a completely different feeling because of the bizarre appearance of the surrounding trees. If the city of the elves had a harmonious and mysterious feeling, the city of the dark elves had a somewhat twisted feeling.
“This way.”
As he had treated him from time to time and had smashed his nose about three times, the leader’s attitude had naturally become polite.
The gazes of the dark elves who were strolling through the city turned to Edward.

Although it was a city where people of all kinds lived, their expressionless faces and atmosphere were the same.
It was as if the entire city was a single monster, and the citizens were the eyes attached to that monster.
“This is the palace where Her Majesty the Queen resides.”
He headed to the palace according to the leader’s guidance. Although it was called a palace, it was the main castle of the fortress that had been used in the past.
The guards, perhaps because they had been contacted in advance, let Edward in without asking anything.
When he arrived at the great hall in the center of the main castle, a woman who seemed to be the queen was sitting on a throne made of wood.

Her face was full of scars from being cut by a sword, and one of her eyes was covered with an eyepatch.
“Light the fires.”

Dozens of torches were lit at the same time. Besides the torches, there were also many spheres that emitted light embedded in the walls, so the surroundings became as bright as day.
It was an unnecessary measure for the dark elves, who became faster and stronger in the dark.
“Everyone, leave.”
The guards left immediately without replying.

The dark elf queen got up from her seat. She was a woman as tall as Edward.
If she were a subordinate of the Demon King, she should have recognized Edward’s existence and been surprised or afraid.
Although everyone had been like that so far, the queen did not show such an appearance.
“Edward of Griffith.”

The queen glared at Edward.
“You who dare to falsely claim to be the Demon King.”
Ë n.u̇ m.а̀. і̄ d̈
A voice filled with anger rang out.
“Now that you can’t use the Master of Darkness or the Black Soul.”
The queen drew a curved sword that resembled a crescent moon.
“What are you going to do?”
