In the dream, my parents were happily teaching me how to milk a goat, when all of a sudden, everything trembled, their faces turned dark, and they pointed at me saying:"Run! Run!"They told me to run, and I did, but I seemingly couldn't move. My parents looked at me with horror as my mother was snatched, and my father's head flew into the sky, then a geyser of blood came out of his cut neck.It was just like 9 years ago... I was 16 now, and I was 7 back then.Life had changed so much...I closed my eyes for one second as the dream changed how I saw fit, the decapitated body disappeared as the corpses of all of the bandits appeared around me, all of them with their heads cut off and impaled on spikes.I had gotten my revenge, but I was still feeling empty, this dream reminded me that my mother was still out there, but even though I was empty, I also did not care about her, or her wellbeing, it was strange, almost contradictory, my consciousness wanted me to see her, but at the same ti
In the uppermost city of the elves sat a gigantic castle made out of golden metal, it was inscribed with elvish runes, encrusted with precious gems, and it had a special aura created from a barrier that made it nigh impenetrable from the outside.It was a fortress and the home of the ruling class of humanized elves.A general who wore a special armor colored blue as the sky could be seen banging at the doors of the castle, asking for permission to enter so he could report the situation of the underground city.The doors opened, and he was let through. The man had been previously in the castle. Still, his eyes couldn't help but wander to the opulent sculptures, tall spires, and beautiful but outlandish and perverted paintings of naked young men and women of different races mingling together.Maids were running around, doing errands, butlers awaiting orders, and some of the young men who had royal blood were even pushing down maids right there in the hallways that lead to the throneroom
The young man was quite excited as he entered the garden and said:"Minato, I have been accepted into the army!"He was quite short, indicating that he was barely in his teens, maybe 14/15. He was one of the youngsters I befriended after I moved to the populated area.Until now, I haven't properly interacted with the army of blood elves, even though I have already made a good relationship with their leaders.This populated area was a hot spot for conscripts, and I already befriended the few youngsters with the best prospects to join the army because I wanted to get info on their army.The number of blood elves was ever-increasing due to their high fertility rate, and there was the fact they actively tried to regain their lost numbers from migration.You could hear moans and grunts during the night and sometimes even during the day.The blood elves knew they were outnumbered. So they were doing their best to fix that problem.Of course, their army number was still unknown to me, but it
The inspection didn't take me much time, once you saw one unit, you practically saw them all when it came to a systematic army.They were all trained the same ways, and even though I was under the elder's direct authority, the instructor didn't show me where their elites were being kept, one reason being that he most likely didn't know since he was only an average instructor, the second being that only the elders themselves may inspect the elites of the army.But I had garnered enough information from observing the base soldiers of the army, excluding the recruits.They were at a pretty good strength level, which made me wonder how they had been chased away from their previous home.Were the dark elves so strong? Or were these drows empowered by the night elves behind them?The blood elves had a pretty high amount of strength, and even though they were quite weakened by the migration and loss of their troops, they could still fight with the humanized elves who had never seen war since
Things looked like they would explode into violence soon enough, but the leader of the elves slowly moved her gaze from the elders toward Sikaw and me.We were a little bit to the left on the elders' side, trying not to stand out in this 'negotiation attempt'. After all, we were only subordinates.However, the humanized elves' leader's eyes started to shine brightly as they took in my face.Even though my features were slightly changed so that I could blend in with the blood elves, my beautiful visage hadn't been changed at all. Of course, when compared to an elf's pure appearance, I could be considered to be rather similar, and the leader should have had her fill of people with my appearance, but the moment their eyes targeted me, I could feel a shiver go down my spine as I reflexively clenched my fists and took one step backward.It wasn't only her strength that intimidated me. But also the increasing bulge down their right leg.Elves shouldn't have such big tools... After all, I at
While the elders were ready to get back into the tower to continue their training, for the time being, the surroundings started to shake seemingly as if an earthquake was happening.However, the five elders immediately understood that it wasn't an earthquake.The surroundings were shaking because of the unique barrier that was being erected around the underground city. They were trying to trap us here like turtles in a jar!Even I could sense that the potency of the barrier was rather high, and I was already quite familiar with the technology of the humanized elves after interacting with it briefly.The five elders looked at each other before nodding and saying:"You two come with us. It's time to witness why we had been appointed as the leaders of the tribe."Sikaw was excited, and I was quite curious about their powers as well. After all, I still needed to have quite a bit of information about them when Ludeus would come with the undead plague.The elders appeared at the entrance of
The technique worked at a cellular level, destroying red and white cells after infecting the targets.Unfortunately, due to Narwa's moral constraints, she hadn't used it after she understood what the technique entailed, thus I had no memory of experiencing it.But the technique involved a lot of high-end medical knowledge, which I had from Narwa, so I could technically use it at its full power even though Narwa didn't.Of course, there would be some kinks and side-effects here and there since Narwa never used it, and she didn't know its power entirely, but I could work them out...For starters, I left the civilian bunker after I made sure every survivor was safe and stabilized before I started to make my way toward the exit of the underground city. I was 100% sure they had already put guards at the exit on the other side, so it was futile to try a stealthy approach. However, the hemoplague magic was an air-based technique, so I could use it through the exit, make it go upward through
As I continued my training inside the tower, Sikaw soon realized why I was improving so quickly as he grabbed me by the shoulders and said:"YOU USED THE HEMOPLAGUE TECHNIQUE?!"It looked like he got that message from the elders above since he looked briefly upward before he confronted me.I nodded at him and said with a serious face:"After I saw what those beasts had done to our civilians, how could I not respond in kind?!"Sikaw couldn't help but take a step backward at those words. he could see the bone-chilling cold in my eyes, and he couldn't help but lower his tone as he chided me slowly:"Do you think you are the only one that awakened that particular magic within his bloodline? The hemoplague is a special guerrilla warfare magic for our tribe, and now you just exposed it extremely early into the war with the humanized elves!"Sikaw wanted to continue chiding, but I slightly cracked my neck and did some arm exercises as I said:"Let's go up and see what the elders have to say
