40. Correspondence

A great forest located in the southwestern part of the continent.

Since it is mainly inhabited by elves, humans seldom visit it.

For that reason, blood and wind were blowing in this place that had been extremely quiet until recently.

“Maw! Crane!”

A girl runs frantically through the woods in her bare feet.

Her whole body is full of minor wounds, and her hair is completely tousled.

Rather than calling the clothes she was wearing, it was better to call them ‘chogari’.

She probably would have let out her voice if her own people had seen this.

Is it like leaving the noble figure of an elf somewhere?

If you are an honorable child of the forest, isn’t it natural for her to fight against the enemy?

But the people who should have said that were already corpses in that forest.

And those corpses would soon have been a meal for the hideous monsters.

With the loss of parents, friends, neighbors, everything that was precious to them.

As the girl ran and ran, she remembered what the elder had said to her during her last fight.

– You must give a warning to the neighboring tribes. Don’t hesitate and go –

The messengers had already been sent.

Nonetheless, the reason the elder said that was to a child who wanted to save even one.

I wonder if it was to alleviate the guilt of abandoning my own people.

‘Just a little bit more.’

You can live, you can deliver this tragic news.

You can complete the elder’s first and last request.

The girl thought so and tried to control her breath, which was rising up to the bottom of her chin.

Chack!-

But suddenly, a burning pain came from the back and her body fell forward.

“Ouch!”

A vicious tentacle like a whip swept across the backboard once.

In an instant, the clothes and flesh fall off, and the blood flows.

“Keuk! Oops!”

The girl fell to the floor and tried to raise her body.

But before that, another tentacle wrapped itself around the girl’s ankle.

Chack! Puff!-

“Oh no!!”

The blade-like spines protruding from its tentacles pierce its skin.

With the terrible pain, her eyes turn white.

I struggled and tried to resist, but my body was already helplessly dragged by the monster.

Greuk-.

A monster with only a huge mouth will soon appear in front of you.

Having already eaten countless elves, his mouth was filled with the blood of his own people.

The girl tried to resist, but to no avail.

Her stamina has already reached its limit, and blood pours from her back and ankles, gradually blurring her vision.

When she thinks that she can’t escape even if she runs away, she finds herself wanting to just give up.

It would be comfortable to let go of everything as it is, that it would be better to just accept it.

“Close your eyes.”

I heard such a whisper somewhere.

The girl considered the whispering to be the last thing she heard in her life.

But all of a sudden, the monster’s eerie sound suddenly stopped.

I realized that my body, which was being dragged along, stopped at some point.

I couldn’t figure out what was going on.

Fear of death, resignation to atrocious situations.

The emotion of curiosity overcomes all of that.

Then the girl slowly opened her eyes, which she had closed without realizing it.

“I should have told you to close your eyes.”

Ugh, uh, uh-.

“Why are you not listening? A goblin?”

The moment she heard that, only one thought came to the elf girl’s head.

Ghosts? Are you a ghost? That word is definitely what other races use to look down on elves.

Why are you saying that word, being neither a human nor a beast, but an ‘elf’?

“Anyway, I don’t like the crow like this. Those who don’t listen and live for their own good taste.”

No, I mean, aren’t you that cunning, a guy who’s obsessed with his own pride?

The girl wanted to ask even in this absurd situation.

Chack!-

An ink-colored spear is pulled out from the monster’s body, which has now become a motionless corpse.

Black blood drips and foul smoke rises where it touches.

“Hey.”

“….”

“Hey!”

“Yes, yes?”

“Are you from the forest over there?”

“No, that’s right.”

“There are no other survivors besides you. Doesn’t exist?”

At that question, the girl nodded her head.

She must be heartbroken when she says that there are no other survivors.

I didn’t even think of that because of that elf woman who appeared so suddenly.

What on earth should I mix with the sky to get that color?

Sunshine? Or silver? Or any other jewels?

It’s a color I’ve never seen before, even though it looks like shiny hair at first glance.

In a way, it was like looking at a cloudless sky.

What about the eyes of an elf woman?

As if the sky was staring at him, his eyes were blue.

I think it’s beautiful, but at the same time, it’s a gaze that somehow freezes the viewer.

“Oh, really.”

The elf woman who was standing on the corpse of the monster jumped down.

Then he ferociously sticks an ink spear right next to the girl.

Kwajik!-

“Hey!”

“Hey. Are you dumb? To answer There are no survivors in the forest.”

“Ah… me, that’s… Me too, I don’t know. Just run away….”

“Really?”

Hmm, the elf woman who had been fiddling with her chin pulled out her spear.

From a distance, I thought it was just a normal spear shape, but

Seeing this up close, the girl realized that wasn’t the case.

‘What, what is so big… ?’

It was such a gigantic weapon that one could become frightened just by looking at it.

Something that emits an eerie light, or a spear blade that exudes chilly anticipation.

In addition, for some reason, it seemed that ominous cries of ‘humming’ came from the window.

Coming to think of it, it’s the first time I’ve seen or heard of an elf using a spear like this.

Most of my kind use bows, swords, and magic.

In elven society, there is a strong perception that spears are inferior to swords or bows.

But this elf woman wielded the spear without hesitation.

Wielding a spear, calling his own people a demon.

What is this elf? Who the hell are you doing this for?

“Hero! Hero!!”

A man runs in panting and he gets right in front of him.

What the man said. He’s not wrong.

What about the elf girl at the word hero? And sighed.

It was clearly a warrior. He must have said so.

I’ve heard of a hero who appeared on the continent.

But elves don’t pay much attention to such things, so I’ve only heard it once.

Thanks to that, I can’t remember everything, but some parts are still in my mind.

One of them was that there was a hero who was the only one who could use a spear.

“heheheh…. Warrior. Are you done?”

“Before. How about you?”

“I just finished the previous engagement. Fortunately, the deceased….”

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“For intermediate level monsters, this guy who just became a skewer was the only one. I hope you don’t talk bullsh*t about low-ranking monsters who died.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Be careful. The reason I made you my lieutenant was not to take on such miscellaneous tasks. I’m going to go to the middle of the day. I told you to cut off the idiots who are just trying to rely on my reputation without skill. If you want to focus on other things, return the seat.”

At the words of the warrior, he said he was not a man and slapped him.

With the words that you will live up to expectations and will not disappoint.

The injured were even determined to give a stinging warning.

“Good.”

The hero of the spear, Xenia Violet, nodded in satisfaction.

As her face softened a little, the man called the adjutant spoke cautiously.

“Hey, warrior. If so, what are you going to do now?”

“What can I do? Rush in Determine that there are no survivors inside, and treat all who approach from now on as monsters, monsters, and demon worshipers. Keep calm and fight well.”

“Okay. I will tell you that. I, but this child….”

He was wounded, but not fatal.

However, since he is not in a state where he can move on his own, he must be asking this.

“….”

Zenia stared blankly at the elf girl and said in a cold voice.

“Take it away.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The man quietly approached the girl.

Then, with her words, ‘Don’t worry, I won’t do anything’, I hugged her.

“And, hero. It just arrived.”

What he held out was a letter from someone.

Xenia looked at it and quickly snatched it.

There are very few people in the world who will send you a letter.

And if it’s a letter sent by those people, it must be important news.

Sleep-.

“….”

Xenia was reading the contents inside.

The man who was waiting for a while to see if the letter would change the order.

‘… What.’

I was even more flustered than when I faced a high-ranking monster right in front of me.

Unbefitting the title of a warrior, he was too harsh and sharp.

The hero of the spear who is fortunate enough not to stab his followers with the spear he is holding.

“… Heh, heh heh….”

He was wearing a happy smile, a smile that even made him feel a bit silly.

“Hero?”

“Hey! hehehe!”

“Yo, hero?”

“Ke, kehm! Hmmm, what are you doing Aren’t you going soon?”

“Uh… Ah yes. I’ll go. I’m going, so don’t stare at me like that.”

It feels like being stabbed by a window just by looking at those fierce eyes.

The moment I finally confirmed that the man was leaving with the elf girl.

Xenia opened the letter again and checked her contents several times.

“Master…. Master… ! Black, hahahaha! Hick! Ahahahaha!”

Xenia is at a loss as her face turns red.

It was an appearance that was completely unheard of for an elf who thought of gentleness and nobility as the best beauty.

“Master, I will be there soon. Please wait a minute. More confidently than anyone else by your side soon….”

Muttering that, Xenia madly swung the huge ink-colored spear.

Originally, I tried to kill all the monsters that settled in that great forest.

I received such good news, but I couldn’t delay even for a second.

She had to quickly stand by her master before the b*tch b*tch hit her tail.

* * * * * * * * * *

The letter did not only reach Xenia Violet, the hero of the spear.

All over the continent, one by one, the bills fly up and head for a certain person.

One is in a huge magic lab located in the central area.

One to a group of people who are just heading somewhere.

The other one landed right in front of the entrance to a dark, gloomy underground cave.

The position reached and the recipients of the letter were all different.

All of those who confirmed the contents had the same reaction.

– Master has come out. –

My great teacher, my revered hero, my gracious parent.

Each of them used different words to refer to him, but in the end they came to one conclusion.

– I will meet him more confidently than anyone else. –

Because the movement of the monsters has decreased for a very short time recently.

To catch my breath and instead go around the growing outskirts.

The warriors, who had been in a lull for a while, began to stand up again from all sides.
