I Picked Up the Abandoned Hero

91. How to kill monsters

“That’s funny.”

“…That’s what happened in the end, that’s why I left that land and live like this. “It’s unfair to be treated like a massacre, but the result isn’t much different, so what can I do?”

Shion shook his head and drank his wine.

After hearing the story about elves, Clen changed her thoughts about them.

“No, when I think about it again, it’s not even funny. What kind of race is there? “The longer an elf lives, whose greatest advantage is a long lifespan, the more problems arise.”

In particular, diseases related to elves are something we have never heard of from other races.

It is said that humans also experience infantile regression and a decrease in memory as they age, but it is not common to see an increase in violence like elves do.

And if the original lifespan was long, the lifespan of the body and spirit was also naturally long, so it was truly ironic.

“Nothing is perfect in the world. But there are many failures. “Maybe the elf was one of those failures.”

“If it is a failure, then whose failure is it, the ancestor of the elves? In other words, are you the ones you call your ancestors and praise?”

“No, of course it’s God’s failure. That’s why God has a tendency to hate and exclude elves. “I probably hate it more than my grandson.”

Clen thought about Alfred for a moment.

When it comes to elves, they are very angry, calling them ears.

“Then I will ask you the last question. What happened to that monster? “I hope you don’t say that you’re still alive.”

“When you say monster, I don’t know what kind of monster you are talking about. “There are so many monsters that we need to pinpoint exactly what kind of monster they are.”

Clen frowns and gives a stinging gaze.

It means that you should not say nonsense even though you know.

“You’re such a boring girl, of course she’s dead. Since I was a monster that I tried to kill at the cost of everything in my youth, shouldn’t I remain even after death? The problem is that, as they say, it is a terrible monster.”

“What do you mean, a terrible monster?”

The reason why monsters are called monsters is simple.

Clen has already seen such a monster before.

“A monster is a monster because it does not die even if it dies. Demons who observe the stars, the thing that even death cannot stop is a monster. Or maybe the meaning of death works differently than it does for us.”

“Ha, a mixed-blood demon somewhere comes to mind.”

Clen, who just happened to think of Alfred, frowned even more.

The taste of the alcohol was good at best, but suddenly it felt bitter.

“What I killed was only the body of the monster, but its soul would still be alive. As long as the body can move, it can be revived at any time, and it can never be killed unless the soul is directly destroyed. And destroying the soul is also very difficult.”

If the body is destroyed, the soul cannot do much in terms of its ability to function.

Anyway, it would have been nothing more than a vengeful spirit in a tomb that no one could enter, and it is typical to say that as a soul, it gradually wears out over time and even the ego disappears.

However, by nature, most monsters have very strong egos, and in just hundreds or thousands of years, their egos will hardly wear out.

Of course, there is another monster that is the most terrifying.

To give an example, would it be a monster without a soul?

“So that means that the monster can be released at any time. A monster that, if done wrong, can destroy the world just as much as the last Demon King.”

“No, the Demon King does not destroy the world. He says the only thing it destroys is humans. In the process, other races may also be harmed, but they are not targeted directly, so it is a better situation.”

In that sense, it was inappropriate to call the Demon King a monster.

Of course, he does monstrous things and has monstrous powers, but he is closer to a greedy person than a monster.

“Hmm, it’s difficult to properly explain monsters because I don’t have any examples… Ah, yes. “If my grandson was stripped of all other emotions and left only the destructive instinct, it would be best to call him a monster.”

“Hmm.”

“Perhaps she will burn everything she sees as she passes by. My daughter did it against her will because of her birth, but she will. She will just burn everything she sees to ashes.”

“I guess I just imagined it.”

However, I thought that it might be okay if it was a quiet Alfred.

Honestly, I still lust after him if he just shuts up.

It’s just that I don’t even get jealous because of that guy’s mouth.

“A monster that cannot die or be killed turns the entire world into ashes. What do you think? Isn’t this a typical monster that you might think of very often? “Unfortunately, my grandson has about four screws loose in his head, so that won’t happen.”

“Are only 4 things solved?”

Clen asks as if it is absurd.

Honestly, I would believe it even if 40 were solved instead of 4.

“Anyway, the conclusion would have been that, God was literally just God. We elves were like digging a well on the beach. “If you dig deep into the ground, it will quickly collapse, and even if water comes out, it is only sea water.”

The elder of the stem tried to find out from God how the elves could be saved.

But even that was in vain.

Of course, God gave Clen a way to survive, but that was only because he was the only one who could survive.

“Now that I think about it, it was really a waste of effort. It would have been better to die without doing anything.”

“Why did you dig a well in such a place?”

“That’s because there was no choice from the beginning, so the elves dug a well on a very narrow and small uninhabited island. “Thanks to you, I survived, at least in this way.”

Thanks to God, Zion was able to return to her young body.

In the end, elves’ illness was a problem that occurred as their soul and body aged at the same time as they got older.

Sion lived longer than other elves by keeping both his soul and body at their freshest.

Although his strength was much weaker than in his prime due to his youth, even those who were much better than he was at the time ended up dying without being able to overcome the disease.

Perhaps there would have been some hope if this method of becoming younger could also be used on other elves.

However, God is less flexible than expected and only answers what is asked, so it did not work for the other elves and only Sion survived.

Force even if you did not want it.

“It’s quite late, so I guess I should go soon. And I have one more thing to say…”

“What is it?”

After getting ready to run away, Shion opened his mouth.

“That monster would probably have come back to life by now. If those babies failed, they would come out in earnest and try to eat everyone, both demons and humans. Please take care of me then. “Demons who observe the stars.”

“…What?”

“Okay then.”

And then he disappeared in an instant.

I left a message telling me that if something happens, I will report to Clen and take care of it.

As a bonus, there were a few old silver coins lying around as money for alcohol.

“…Are you trying to exploit me with a pair?”

Click!

Clen, left alone, was shaking her fists and the blood vessels in her eyes seemed to burst.

In the end, both Alfred and Sion were there.

If you think about it, where did Alfred’s personality come from?

†††

“Could it be that immortal monster that I only heard about or something like that?”

Alfred frowned and flew into the sky.

Fangs of shadow continued to extend from beneath my feet, splitting the area they touched in an instant.

These attacks are launched as freely as the tentacles of a mollusk and as quickly as the fall of a hawk that has captured its prey.

“If it were as hard as Grandma Clen, there would be a way to attack it by slowly cooking it from the inside out…”

I try to avoid them all and counterattack, but the monster just regenerates as if nothing happened.

Even if the body was crushed, it returned to its original state, even if the body was burned, it returned to its original state, and even when the limbs were disassembled and each part was buried separately, it came back unharmed.

“I’ll kill you! Why do I keep avoiding it? Are you so scared that you can’t even attack anymore?”

“You keep playing it so shamelessly! It regenerates even if its head is cut off, and regenerates even if its head is blown off. What kind of amoeba is this? Or a single-celled organism? “If you have a conscience, can’t you give me a moderate beating and let me down?”

Wow!

At that moment, Alfred’s head disappeared.

It was swallowed up by a shadow flying from the other side.

“Seriously, it’s a bit shameful to keep playing like that!”

But soon it started playing normally and continued its unfinished sentence.

“…”

The elves were speechless for a moment at that sight.

It appears that the head, arms, or legs were replaced at least once, but the other side was still intact without any damage.

What’s funny is that they call the elf, who can instantly regenerate his body like that, a coward.

Isn’t there a degree of naeronambuldo?

“I can’t help it, I wasn’t going to use this method. If possible, I would like to summon my mother as a corpse, but if I do that, I will definitely be killed this time… After all, it would be best to seal someone who can’t die, right?”

Then Alfred took out a pink box from his pocket.

There was a sticker on the box that said ‘paper for separate recycling’, but I immediately removed it.

“Hey! “Would you like to go inside this box?”

“…Why do you think I’ll go in there?”

“I heard the 130kg cat I saw last time fit easily? Aren’t both ears and cats similar in that they both have long ears? Of course, cats are much cuter.”

Next, I threw the box as hard as I could.

Then he pointed his finger and fired magic, and immediately the shadows began to be sucked in as if a huge whirlpool had formed.

In the end, the shadow was sucked in and the elf went into the box along with it.

“Now, all you have to do is put the lid on-“

Boom!

But as soon as Alfred got down, the box exploded and the elf appeared again.

The elf glared at Alfred with red, bloodshot eyes.

“Okay, I understand. To be honest, biologically, cats and ears are completely different creatures. “I will apologize to cats all over the country, will you forgive me?”

“Never. And die.”

As soon as he finished speaking, shadows rushed around Alfred like a tsunami.

They attacked from all directions, north, south, east, west, and even from heaven and earth so that they could not escape.

“Should I rather have him fight Bald when the sun rises… I’m wasting all my expensive magic stones here.”

“Whoop?!”

“This is the last time, but there is nothing we can do.”

Alfred felt very regretful and took out another magic stone and put it into the elf’s mouth.

Soon, an incredible light began to emanate from the elf’s eyes, mouth, and ears.

Thanks to that light, a hole was created in the wave of shadows, and Alfred jumped into it and escaped.

As I used the magic stone of light inside my body, it seemed like I couldn’t chase after him for the time being.

“I didn’t say anything out loud, but if things get like this, it’ll be hard to deal with a cockroach-like cockroach like that…”

Actually, there are many ways to handle it.

However, even if it doesn’t matter to Stella, it is out of the question since Arcel, who is still here, will also be dealt with.

But even if you try to escape outside, the disappearance of the barrier actually becomes poison in times like this.

In the end, it could be dealt with safely by sending Arcel outside, but the problem was that as the barrier disappeared, the existing entrances and exits became completely unusable.

In other words, you have to find the exit door again.

However, finding the door right away in this large land may take dozens of hours.

“Is there no way to deal with a monster that keeps coming back to life no matter how cruel or cowardly it is?”

Although he felt something pricking him, Alfred continued to think deeply.

Poke.

Then, a memory of Arcel stabbing me in the back with her holy sword suddenly came to mind.

This probably happened after meeting Arcel, who had lost her way in a ruin somewhere.

At that time, the body did not regenerate, so I had to discard the body I was using and create another body.

‘As soon as I ran into him on the street, he suddenly and violently stabbed me with his sword.’

Alfred flew in the opposite direction with a sinister smile.

Because the light continues to emanate from inside the head, it will take some time for the elf to attack again.

Anyway, dealing with monsters is a warrior’s job.

Until now, the hero’s condition was so bad that I couldn’t entrust him to him, but now it’s a different story.

This is because I found the book about curses I had been looking for in this elven land.

“I’m sure it’s somewhere here… Ah, I found it!”

“Alfred?”

Alfred was able to find Arcel nursing Stella while flying around the tomb.

“Have you already dealt with that elf?”

“No? Even if you cut off its head in a cruel and cowardly manner, it will regenerate, and even if its head is blown off, it will regenerate. So that’s why-“

I went straight down and grabbed Arcel’s shoulders.

Arcel looked a little surprised and her face blushed slightly.

Afterwards, Alfred told me about the reason he came back here after fighting.

“Take it off first, even your underwear.”

“…What?”

Stella, who had been groaning under her feet, began to struggle.

I would have used up all my magic power and couldn’t even move a finger, but it was a will that was close to a miracle.

“You really will kill me no matter what happens- ugh!!”

It was as if he was going to put an arrow between Alfred’s eyes at any moment.

Of course, I couldn’t even finish my sentence because my whole body ached.

In the end, the skeletons next to her gave Stella a tranquilizer, telling her to calm down.
