Volume 10, 69: Queen of the Dark Elves
(Ten minutes earlier)
“You actually dared to hurt Oyado! Don’t you know you’re going to die?!”
I put all of the power into my arms and rushed towards the guy that was controlling my body. Right now I’m calling him ‘Fake Fir’.
But whatever he’s called, he as to die today!
No matter the cost!
“Un, not bad thoughts at all.”
But in that moment, I heard a nice sounding woman’s voice and in an instant I felt something abnormal in my body.
It’s like if you were walking down a road and gravity suddenly disappeared.
Don’t ask me what it feels like. If you want to know, open a manhole cover and pretend that you didn’t see it.
Ok, that was just the beginning. After my body felt that it was suspended, my surroundings looked as if they were painted in black ink. The ink was slowly smearing, and wrapping around me.
While that was happening my perception slowed to half it’s normal speed. My body wasn’t able to move, but I could see that those black sploches had completely surrounded me.
Suddenly, the feeling of falling disappeared. Now it felt like I was falling into liquid. Like I was being pushed into water.
Something like a liquid that lacked moisture wrapped around me. In the next instant I felt like I was spun and my body was thrown out by something. Then my face came into intimate contact with the floor.
My face!
I crawled up and wanted to use healing, but there was nothing there.
“It’s no use little demon. Only your soul came here. And since you are in my soul space you won’t find any elements.”
There was that voice again. Looking around, I saw that my surroundings had changed.
historical
The darkness from the beginning had disappeared and now I was in a small room in a log cabin.
Only a single lamp on the wall provided illumination. I tried to get used to the light, and slowly I realized that I was in something similar to an entranceway.
There was only a pair of shoes made from a dark green cloth on the shoe rack by the door, but it looked like they hadn’t gone completely inside.
I tried to twist the handle on the door only to discover that it was basically a decoration, it couldn’t move at all.
“I say, you’ve only just arrived. Are you in that much of a hurry to leave?”
The voice came again, and there was a slight laugh while she was talking. It didn’t feel hostile to me.
This shouldn’t be an illusion created by the enemy. The Berserk state ignores any illusions. Things like that don’t have any significance and Berserkers aren’t afraid of illusions either, their only goal is to kill.
In that case......
“After everything you’ve said, how could I just go and walk out.”
I wanted to take off my shoes, only to find that they had already disappeared. That was when I discovered one thing, I was definitely a soul at the moment as my body was male.
Walking down the wooden corridor, there was a light at the end. Walking in, I discovered that the living room was decorated as if it was a snowy cabin. There was even snow on the window.
The only difference was that there was a dark flame jumping about in the fireplace. It wasn’t giving off heat either, but a coldness.
Looking at the table in the center, there were two green cups sitting on it.
“Drink it and see~ It’s a good drink. Well, it can’t be helped. There isn’t anything else to eat or drink here.”
A woman in a black evening gown walked down from the upper floor. Her long green hair looked like a wave and she smiled as she looked at me with her red eyes.
Her racial characteristics were clear to see. Those were the ears of the Elf race.
But......her skin was a light dark color, meaning......
“Dark Elf?”
“Mmhmm~ You actually knew. It seems you really are related to the Elves. How should I say this, that someone would use the magic and summon me but be Human was a surprise. After all, no elf has used this magic in a long time.
“That’s probably because the book this magic was recorded in was being stored in a forest elf library. How would a dark elf be able to use this magic?”
“Eh~”
The dark elf woman had a strange expression.
“I had clearly left the book on my bookshelf.”
“Well......”
I gave a bitter laugh.
“It was probably taken away by the forest elves.”
“Hmph! Those guys, I’ll make them pay the price for that sooner or later.”
The dark elf’s eyes seemed a bit gloomy but she recovered in an instant.
“Well, anyways. I haven’t asked your name yet. And since you used that magic to summon me, there should be something I can help with.””
“Well......The book that this magic was recorded in only said that it was ‘a very dangerous magic that gan give people strength.’ So I didn’t know that it would summon you.”
“DAMNED FOREST ELVES!”
This time she went and punched the wall.
“To go as far as to mix up the instructions of others magic, this is really......”
“Ok, Ok, calm down. But I did want to get power. By the way, what’s your name?”
That’s right, I wasn’t able to see the name of the beautiful dark elf woman in front of me. There wasn’t any hints, it was completely blank.
That’s right. HP, titles, name, nothing was there. The area above her head was completely blank.
Why is it blank? What is this? I know that this is normal but I always get the feeling that something is wrong. It’s probably because it became a habit, things you are too used to can get you killed.
“That’s right, I haven’t introduced myself yet.”
The dark elf nodded and looked straight at me.
My name is Alice – Delias – Bergis, the second Dark Elf Queen. The one who developed the Dark Elves magic~”
......
My brain stopped working for a minute.
“The second Dark Elf Queen......”
“Well, yes~”
“All right.”
I took hold of my head.
“I know the Demon King anyways, it’s good to meet the second Dark Elf Queen.”
“Ohh? You know the current Demon King? What race is ruling?”
Humans are ruling......is what I want to say, but I can’t say that.
But I should say that it’s dominated by humans......
“Right now it’s ruled by the Demon race.”
Something like the Demon race, that sort of thing is normal.
Although the Demon King started out as a human, they’ve already reached a point where their skin color has changed. They must’ve turned into another race.
Although their race is still recorded as human.
“A demon. That’s unexpected. I thought it would be an undead holy angel. They’re the only race that can compete with angels.
“Ah, that’s right. I need your magic for something.”
“What is it?”
“Kill an undead holy angel for me. He stole my body.”
