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
My eyes were lighting up as the blood from the air was permanently gravitating around my body, absorbing it instantly as I continued to unleash a massacre upon the foolish soldiers that made the mistake of abandoning their ranged weapons to get near me. However, I soon realized that the exploding barrier wasn't their only way to poison us. From the blood that I absorbed, I realized that there was a very strong poison being distributed in the enemy's army. The army had strong armor, but the people behind them were considered weak, and when we killed them and absorbed their blood to reinforce our energy and strength, I realized that the blood that infiltrated my body was tainted heavily. The poison had a late activation reaction after the person who ingested it died, so it started to bloom inside the person's blood, organs, etc... Now that we were absorbing their blood, we were intentionally getting poisoned! I shouted to the blood elf army to stop absorbing the enemy's blood, but
The attackers were two generals in similar armor to the first one, but their helmets were quite different as they had no symbols on them, nor were they shaped in any way, making them look very similar to one another.This was most likely a way to confuse the opponent, and I could understand what they were attempting from the first attack, where they tried to cut my head off in a pretty deadly fashion.If I didn't just get the teleportation ring from the fallen general, I might have died then and there.The runic sword I had from Ludeus was quite strong, but the problem was the way it looked and felt evil, so I couldn't use it, having to rest it in its sheath for the upcoming fights. However, the sword I snatched from the general I killed was very good as well.It didn't have the same potential as the sword I had, at least according to Ludeus's words about the sword, but its ability to cut was something that I haven't seen on many weapons, showcasing the runic abilities of the humanize
