Before we move to what happened to the elves that are blown up, a question needs to be answered. Two of them to be exact. That is, the nature of these explosives and how they have been set up to hit the intended targets. And the explanation of this, part of it, is contained in the conversation that Zeke had with his allies before they left the kingdom.“Alright, before we go, I want to give you guys a little something.” Zeke opened his inventory. This is one of the many features that he has which the normal dwellers of this world do not. A privilege that allows him to hide everything that belongs to him as well as carry with him weight that shouldn’t even be possible for a single human to bring.From this same feature, Zeke drew out an item. Three of them to be exact which are all spheres. In the middle of these are small gems that are easily distinguishable as mana gems. Items that can carry with them mana and, is used for a wide array of activities.“What’s this my lord?” Caster as
The explosion that occurred in the forest is the same one that Zeke used against Adeline. But there is a difference. This is the strengthened version. That’s right. The one that’s released at that point in time in the forest is the version of this explosion that is far stronger. It is the version that Zeke’s already amplified to a point where it is generally twice as strong.This is the type of explosion that hit Claudius and his ally. This is the kind of explosion that is set off right on their face. An explosion that cannot be compared to anything else and, as such, is something that created the desired result as well.The explosion left the earth trembling and quaking. The nearby trees got destroyed as well as everything else in the nearby vicinity. The sound it created is so ear wrenching that one could potentially go deaf for a couple of minutes if they are exposed too close to it – though this would’ve still been a better outcome compared to what became of these elves. All of wh
[Location: Elven Kingdom][Events are happening at the same time as Claudius’ fight against Silver and Aries.Sylph marched through the corridors of the elven kingdom’s castle. His footsteps’ sound being absorbed by the trees, branches, and leaves that can be seen all around. A proof that this is truly the kingdom of the elves. A living forest where the elves thrive in.The serenity of the kingdom is far from the kind of expression that Sylph is making though. Instead of having a peaceful look drawn on his face, the only thing painted there is worry. One that is created with his sunken eyes and his pale expression. He is hiding his emotions quite well though and, even those close to him won’t notice the difference in his expression. But I can. This same elf barged through the gates of the queen’s courtroom. It isn’t really the queen’s but the king who rules over it. But because of the poor health of the kingdom’s ruler, it is Queen Elizabeth who is holding all of the rulership and au
[Location: Dark Elven Forest][Instance: Battle between Claudius versus Aries and Silver.The attack that Aries unleashed is one that she trained all her life to master. Ever since she learned how to wield a bow, she has been harnessing the power to fire this attack properly. Her fingers have been wounded and left calloused from her multiple attempts at making it stronger. Her shoulders have been strained and the blades of it have been broken a couple of times as well.There are nights when the dark elf would have fevers from all the pain that her body is going through because, she isn’t just practicing on mere targets after all. She’s practicing on real monsters. Ones that can fight back against her. This personal training of hers continued for a while because she has to survive. The bow she wields is from a dead dark elf whom she doesn’t even know. And the arrows she used are ones that have been scattered everywhere she goes. She continued walking, moving forward, practicing by her
The fight continued on in this manner, both Claudius and the two dark elves are already giving their all in that battle. Both parties are risking their lives and going limb for limb as they continued to fight to the best of their abilities. With each of their attacks being intended to take the lives of their opponents. That is the kind of intensity that this fight has now heightened to. A point where the only outcome that they’re waiting for is the death of one or the other. Anything else than this cannot happen anymore. That being said, the focus of both parties are only on that fight. Everything else doesn’t matter to them and, for Claudius, this is more so. After all he’s already set up a barrier around that place which prevents outsiders from entering. This has been made with a binding vow that prevents any dark elf from coming in. He wanted to add other restrictions but, he simply doesn’t have the luxury of time to use up ten minutes to do so.Nevertheless, this works in his fav
The dark elves are known for one thing. Their skill in the forge. When it comes to this, there is nobody that can deny their ability. That is how good they are in their craft and, this is also the reason why they have continued to thrive for a long time even though they have been absent from the battlefield. Despite their lack of forces that could be sent to the war against the forces of the demon lord, the fact that all of the weaponry, items, and armor that the other kingdoms are using stems from them means that they are just as vital as everyone else who if fighting.This is also a testament to how good they are in making weaponry and everything else. After all, if the things they create are substandard, then this means that they would easily be discarded and their kingdom would simple be allowed to be laid waste. But that didn’t happen and these dark elves continued making the best that they could to counter and fight against all that is in the way of those that are fighting again
The attack that the two dark elves unleashed isn’t something that came without any price. There is one. A big one to be exact. The thing is that, by forcing their arrows to pierce with the amount of strength that it did, they basically had to offer up half of the entirety of their mana pool. Aside from what they’ve already spent in that battle, they had to take this amount of mana out of the pool as well. Leaving them with virtually nothing more to spend. A single cast of their lowest grade spell, that is the only thing they can now use and, that is a bad thing in and off itself.After all, this means that they have exhausted their reserves to an extent that they are now placing their very lives in risk of perishing. But that won’t happen because, now, these same dark elves can finally rest. With the fight finished, their bodies began to give up on them.The toll that this had taken is far more than what they thought they are able to bear. In fact, they almost fell unconscious right aw
"When all the world falls silent,Whose voice could you hear?Just a madman and his lament,of the gods who cannot feel."I."Fifty-one~" Loki said. A woman wearing a long floral skirt and a pink sleeveless top came forward, hands clasped together as if in prayer. She looks like a model with her height and her shape."Shame" I said to myself, knowing that she will soon share the same fate as those who went before her.The show started hours ago. All of us are made to stay backstage until our number is called, just like that woman. There is food prepared for us. Sofas are also available to sit on and there are rooms people could use to practice before being called.Disregarding the fact that we would probably all die, I'd say that this is a V.I.P - like treatment. The food is even top gourmet class in taste but, that doesn't amount to anything.We're all dead."Shit. Shit. Shit.""This isn't real.""Mommy I want to go home."The voices keep piling up backstage. As the hours drag on, mo
