Chapter 309 - 308 - Attack On The Elves(Part 3)

Point-of-View: Shiro Blanc

———————————————————————————

Interesting..I think my Wind Magic is getting a bit stronger. I'd consud the life forces of about two hundred Elves, and excluding those, I'd also killed an additional three hundred to three fifty more. Not a bad body count, I should clear six hundred kills soon enough.

These Elves are definitely stronger than humans, but so far, none have been strong enough to threaten in my Vampire Mode form. Though they might be able to do so serious damage if they ganged up on , which is why I've been mostly sneaking around and taking them out silently.

Initially, I'd run into multiple small to dium sized groups, there was no need to sneak around against those numbers, so I fought them openly, though as I started getting into more densely populated areas, I had to adopt a more cautious approach.

I was currently in an area that was filled with different food stands, though it wasn't exactly appetizing since all the food appeared to be vegetables, plants or fruits. Guess Elves are vegetarians, huh.

And more importantly, it looks like they've realized what's going on. Well, they'd have to be complete idiots to have not realized...faint echoes of explosions and screams were ringing out every so often, from multiple directions.

The Elves in the area I was in looked pretty wary and had their weapons drawn, so of them standing defensively in front of the food stands, while the rest were spread out and keeping an eye out.

I was silently hiding behind a bush, considering my options. Let's see now...picking them off one by one like I had been doing all this ti is going to be tough with them on guard and alert like this. With the previous groups of Elves I ca across, they were either totally off-guard or all panicky, but these ones have organized nicely.

A couple of them look like they really know what they're doing...they must be combatants that weren't sent to the front lines. But even the non-combatant Elves aren't pushovers, I'd say that even the weakest Elf I've encountered so far would be considered strong enough to be on par with an average S-Ranked Adventurer from before monster power ups beca so prevalent.

There's gotta be more or less a hundred Elves in this area right now...even in Demon Mode, I might have so trouble. On the other hand, my stamina is basically full thanks to the life forces I consud, I haven't used much Mana, and this might be a good challenge for .

Let's see, I've got about four and a half minutes left in Vampire Mode, and I haven't used Demon Mode at all yet, so I still have the full ti limit of two minutes available. Alright, then, let's do this. Let's start by testing out just how much more powerful my Wind Magic is now...

I charged Mana into my mouth and took a deep breath, before letting it all out in a massive blast of fire and wind, sending out a roaring wave of scorching, violent flas blazing towards the Elves. Tortured screams began ringing out as the scent of burning flesh and hair filled the air, when suddenly, a barrier wall appeared, stopping my flas from advancing any further.

An enclosed barrier then ford around the flas themselves, which quickly petered out as the oxygen within the barrier got burnt up. Not bad, I think I was only able to kill about ten of them before the rest reacted and put up those barriers to stop and then extinguish my flas.

"Who's there!? Co out and show yourself, coward!" Exclaid one of the Elves.

I walked out from behind the bush I was hiding behind with a smirk, entering Vampire Mode as I did.

"What are you!? Why do you attack us!?" Demanded another Elf, as they eyed cautiously.

"Oh, it's nothing personal or anything, I'm just doing this for fun," I replied with a laugh, "And as for what I am...I guess I am primarily human, though I've got elents of so other beings in too...actually, I'm technically a copy of a human, so-."

"Tch, he is a human!"

"How dare a human enter our forest, you will pay for this!"

"This fiend has likely slain many of our brethren, absolutely unforgivable!"

"We shall kill you!"

Wow, they really do hate humans, huh? I said that I'm human to provoke them, but I didn't expect it to be this effective.

"You, kill ?" I scoffed in an arrogant tone, before adding with a malicious smirk, "I'd like to see you try."

I began to approach them, when suddenly, my body froze...literally, I was paralyzed, unable to move a muscle. Tch, one of the Elves had his hand pointed at , must be a General Magic spell...damn it, I should have had Belia cast that anti-infliction-spell enchantnt on .

Right as the Elves fired out a barrage of wind-enhanced arrows at , I broke free of the paralysis spell and used Teleport to slip behind one of the Elves, who began to spin around in alarm, before dropping to the ground as I slashed through his neck with my tail, killing him instantly.

Two more Elves sprang up on either side of with furious yells, I swiftly pointed my hands at them and fired out Repulsion, sending them both flying back, one crashing onto a food stand and the other breaking his neck as he landed, his head hitting the base of a tree at an awkward angle.

I then flew up as a wind slash ca slicing towards , and the mont I went up, several wind blasts and arrows were fired up at , which I responded by using Teleport to get out of the way, going up higher. The Elves were quick to follow, using Flight to chase after .

I fired down streaks of lightning out of my fingers, which struck so of them and sent them plumting back down towards the ground. Suddenly, one of the Elves teleported right above with a sword raised...it was one of the ones that looked like he had combat experience, looks like his General Magic skills are a cut above the rest of these rabble.

I quickly ford a bone sword and blocked his slash as he swung his blade down at , he swiftly pointed his free hand at , right as more Elves appeared on either side of and took aim...the instant that they all fired out their wind blasts at simultaneously, I quickly used Teleport to get away, reappearing right as their attacks all converged onto the spot I'd just been in, a shockwave-like explosion bursting out upon impact.

As an Elf flew towards with her bowstring drawn and an arrow aid at , I used Teleport to dodge as she fired the arrow, when suddenly, my body froze again, and I began to plumt...damn it, another paralysis spell!? How annoying!

Right as I broke free from the spell, that Elf who could teleport appeared right above and drove his blade straight towards my chest with a roar of fury, striking above my heart and piercing through my skin...before hitting my ribcage and stopping, as my back slamd onto the ground with a resounding impact, the Elf above and pressing his sword down onto my chest.

But my bones were too dense for him to break through, as his blade shattered without leaving so much as a fracture on my rib, his eyes widening in shock. I swiftly fired out a blast of Repulsion at the Elf, as a look of alarm appeared in his eyes, sending him flying back.

I then quickly used Teleport as couple of Elves fired arrows at , and the instant I reappeared back up in the air...another paralysis hit , as several Elves surrounded and fired out wind blasts at from every direction. I struggled in alarm and broke free of the paralysis, but I was too late, as the wind blasts all struck at the sa ti.

I felt several bones crack as the multi-directional impact traveled throughout my body, rattling . The next thing I knew, I was on the ground, having fallen down again. The Elves were swooping down on , their weapons poised to strike ...enough, they've had their fun, ti for to get serious.

I quickly evaded by splitting myself in two using Quintuple, before swiftly rejoining with my clone high up in the air. I'll end this in a matter of seconds.

"Well done, you lowly Elves, you put up a good fight...let show you my appreciation by putting you all out of your misery painlessly...maybe!" I sneered, as I entered Demon Mode and split into five clones with a smirk, activating a large do-shaped Absolute Defense barrier to keep the Elves from escaping, before my clones and I fired down a barrage of Obliteration Magic blasts at the Elves, as I chuckled gleefully and viciously, "Hahaha, what's the matter!? I thought you were going to kill !? What happened to all that confidence, huh!?"

The Elves below were desperately scrambling to try and get away from my barrage of pure destruction, screams of agony ringing out as they got vaporized, so of them avoiding taking the blasts full on and ending up losing large chunks of their bodies instead.

Fools, the best they can hope for right now is to be insta-killed by my blasts, because otherwise, they're in for extrely painful, slow deaths by blood loss, there's no escaping this, they can't break through my Absolute Defense barrier, and I'll be done blasting them well before I reach the ti limit for the Cross.

I then ceased my attack and rejoined with my clones as the screams began to die down, and I could see no movent below. Looks like I got them all. I then descended down to the ground, reverting to my base form as I landed, looking around for any survivors.

Ah, a few look like they're still just about clinging to life...might as well end their suffering, right? I walked over and absorbed their life forces one by one, until not a single one was left alive. Well, then, I'm still good to keep going for a while yet, so I suppose I might as well go look for more Elves to slaughter.

Still, I can't help but wonder...if regular, non-combatant Elves can put up this much of a fight, I can only imagine how formidable the Elves that were sent to the front lines are...
