Elf Tensei Kara no Cheat Kenkoku-ki

Episode XIV: The Brave

Ku's scream sounds, the brunette girl in front of her tilts her neck when she hears it.

"Your brother's tail? Oh, this was your brother's. It's been cold lately, isn't it? I cut it off and muffled it because it seemed warm. Look, look, it's blocked and cute, isn't it?

Wipe your uncontrolled grin and nod your face at your tail. That's why it sucks.

"What about your brother? What about your brother? Is he alive?

"He's dead. I first decided on my heart, and I borrowed my tail after I killed him.

Not one of these. Rumor has it that the tail of a fire fox among the nobles is so treasured as an accessory, that it is rarely taken, and expensive as an idiot. That's why I struggled, cut it off from all the bodies and collected it.

Your brother's, because he's the prettiest, he's gonna use it for me and then he's gonna sell it when he gets home. It was worth the trip, even though it was out of jurisdiction. Best extra bonus ever. "

"... such nonsense not only kills, but degrades"

Kuw turns his tail upside down and stares at the brunette girl.

The fire mana is gathering around Kuw with great momentum.

"Ku, calm down. I need to talk to you a little more."

I will block such a coo.

"But!"

"You forgot?

In one word, Khu becomes a shun. You reminded me of my promise to behave as my elder chief.

Still, the flame of hate is scorching Kuw's chest and keeps staring at the girl.

"Are you the brave man of the empire?

Ask them straight in. There is no way that an unusual being like her could be anything but a brave one.

A brave man is a mutant species of man born about one in ten years.

Humans are inherently weak. It is halfway compatible with the mana of all attributes, and there is no excellence in saying this when it comes to physical ability compared to other races. If you insist, you handle the magic "Odd" in your body somewhat well.

However, instead of being able to handle all attributes of mana at all rarely, humans are born with out-of-digit magic capacity and magic releases and certain intrinsic magic.

A world with mana gives birth to wonders and such beings everywhere. In a study of a different world from here, Erna appears as a reaction of Mana and destroys everything. There was a theory of being created by the world as a defensive function of the stars against it. For this reason, Erna and I can't use any mana to fight with the overwhelming in-body magic "Odo" alone.

"Brave man? Oh, that's what they say. But I call myself a mercenary. Because of my violence, I'm getting paid to fulfill a customer's request. The brave man is stronger than the hypocritical smell and obscurity."

That said the girl shrugged her shoulders. Makes a mild impression everywhere.

"This time the client is an empire, he must have come to this village? Then why did you kill him? At least the Empire has instructions to keep women alive and grab them.

"You know very well. That's right. The instructions I received were that the Imperial Village was ruled by the Firefox mob. I want you to help the villagers by killing the fire fox. Wherever possible, let the woman live.

That's a brave job. But, well, I'm also a girl, and when I think about the girls I got caught, I feel sorry for them, and I thought it would be easier to die here, and I decided to kill them without stopping because of the intense resistance. It's too late to leave the Imperial Sponsor behind, and it'll be about two days before we get there. "

And finally, how, how sweet is that? I've added that.

"Then I have one question: how are the non-Firefox races dead?

"Oh, that's right. I've been asked to impose sanctions on villages that hide rebel fire foxes."

"Doesn't that contradict the first request?

Even though the first request is supposed to save a villager conquered by a fire fox, the second request makes that villager the subject of a crusade. Whatever you think, Tsuji doesn't fit.

"If I cared about that, I wouldn't be able to do this job. Anyway, kill them all.

Mostly, the Firefoxes, because if they did it themselves, they would blow themselves up before they killed them and they wouldn't get the treasure, so they called me out of jurisdiction to kill them in an instant before they blew themselves up, and it wasn't terrible to let them live? You don't know when you're gonna blow yourself up. "

"What you're saying is changing. As a woman, I thought you sympathized."

"Oh, that good guy appeal. Really, I just killed him because it was so annoying. I can't cut my tail off to boulders if I'm still alive, and my extraordinary income will be reduced."

Once I set fire to the thoughtful Qu's passion again.

"I can't stand it anymore.... I'll kill you."

"You've heard that dialogue about a hundred times today. Well, you should try. And your tail, it's prettier than this. Let's make it mine. I don't need this anymore."

Throw the tail the girl had wrapped around her neck unconstitutionally.

There are innumerable Firefox tails lined up there, which would be the tails of the Firefox that we have pruned to sell.

Next to it are piles of unmade red gems. Fire Demon Stone that chooses the hearts of the Firefoxes.

Ku opens his eyes and puts his hands in front of him to create flames.

The flame was white to too high a temperature. Flames change from red to white when the temperature increases. It just spreads in a radial fashion if you don't let it escape.

Whoever sees it, it's impossible to avoid it, and yet there's no bone left. The heat to burn it down. Still, the girl laughs and goes straight into it, jumping up big and over the flames just before she touches the flames.

One spin in the air and stay put, wielding a sword.

I kick Ku from the side. It's bad for her, but I don't have time to hold her gently.

"Ah."

Then the sword of the girl who wielded it hanging on to where Ku was cut off the sky.

"Avoid the flames."

I looked sideways at what sorcery the girl would use. Only [physical enhancement] was used.

If it was the deployment of a magical fence that prevented my kicking, I should have done that magic and plunged straight into it. That would be possible with her magic power.

Failure to do so is likely to be [physical hardening] that simply imparts hardness. The difficulty of witchcraft is overwhelmingly lower in [physical hardening].

"It's terrible to kick a girl in the ass - What are you gonna do if you hurt that kid?

I'll take responsibility then.

"You can afford to curl in such a place. You're a soothing man who tries to postpone the conversation and buy time to heal."

"Thanks to you, your ankles are better. Will you give me time to heal my broken arm at last? I could have cured it in two minutes."

"I can't do that. Something tells me you're weak and you don't like it."

Before that word is over, the girl is already flying over this way.

I've seen and figured out the girl's movements so far. A few steps stronger than me. The amount of magic held and the number of digits of magic emission are different. On top of that, pure physical ability can be made a difference at a level that is not even talked about.

Using [Circle Regression], I can call you stronger than a girl. But it hasn't been twelve hours since I used the partial opening before I left the city. It will scratch your soul.

Besides, in order to use [Circumflex Regression], it is necessary to concentrate solely on constructing the procedure and become defenseless for twenty seconds.

If you become defenseless in front of this girl for twenty seconds, you will die ten times.

Number one, I'm not gonna look anything but Cyril in front of the two of you.

We inevitably have to fight as Cyril does. Besides, with my broken arm, on this monstrous opponent.

Ask yourself. Can you win? I can win.

"Are you afraid of me?

Tap lightly and make changes to the magic that starts.

Limiting the coverage of [perceptual enhancement] from a radius of 300 m to 5 m reduces the burden of brain processing, but increases the number of items of information to be retrieved.

Increase [body strengthening] from low fuel consumption mode to body endurance limit.

Change [Program] from generic mode to interpersonal mode, and further enable self-learning and efficiency.

Activate [Wind Armor]. Always wrap the wind around it, change the direction of the wind as it moves, and speed up all operations with the chase wind, as well as obstructing enemies depending on the situation. Implement a restful defense.

"No way, it's just so annoying"

The girl waves her sword down against me.

But now I can shift my body.

Instead of narrowing the range of information to be obtained, increasing the density increases the accuracy of obtaining the preliminary motion, and my physical abilities are enhanced to the point of further wind pushing.

If it's about evasion, I've managed to catch up.

Hopefully, [Enhanced self-healing ability] will also be used, but with my computational ability, four things are the limit no matter how hard I try.

"That's crazy. I'm faster than I was earlier. Why aren't you dying?

"Come on, I wonder why"

From now on, there will be a series of lethal attacks that can destroy me when I get a direct hit.

The magic changes have made it possible to deal with the situation, but we can only continue to do so. I can't afford to fight back.

"Oh, already, I'm flattered. Anyway, you're gonna get killed one day, so just die. You don't have the means to kill me. I've been packing it since the beginning."

"Not necessarily. I have a weapon that hurts you, too."

Then get that weapon out of my sight.

I felt frustrated by the fact that I couldn't finish it, and it was an extremely big gesture. The girl is short tempered, as I thought. Her sword moves are worse than immature, they're really just something that kids are wielding.

I have never struggled thanks to that overwhelming physical ability before. I therefore did not need to acquire decent swordsmanship.

There's no way such a sword can capture me, cut the sky as it should, and a great sword can slap me to the ground.

Just about replayed.

"Shh!"

But now the prey is different, a carbon knife enhanced by magic with high speed vibration and more sharpness to hardness. Use your unbroken left hand and stick it out towards the girl's cheek at the shortest distance.

The sound of a tall clatter, the sound of something stiff shredding.

But it wasn't the girl's skin that shredded, but the high-vibrating carbon knife, on the contrary too firm, the surface of her own body powdered and splashed around.

Plus try to push the knife in using all the force in your body. The girl's neck bends slightly. It felt like the knife had pulled out a hard wall only for a moment.

The girl regains her position and enters the offensive position, so she takes a distance once.

"That's your trump card? I'm not expecting it."

"Not really. Enough. I hit the fabric stone to three victories. One scratched your cheek to the point of a scratch, but it did."

Just a drop, but only slightly bled. There is something bitter to consider that even a full force [physical strengthening] and a high-vibrating carbon knife just shed a drop of blood… but nevertheless, it was revealed that it is not a conceptual defense, it is just stiff.

"This, wound, look, it's healed already"

It would be the power of [enhanced self-healing ability]. The wound was blocked.

"And one more thing. You bent your neck when you pushed the knife in."

That's important information. If we had prepared a magical wall, the wall itself was fixed to the space, so no matter how many knives we pressed, our necks would never bend.

Now I was able to prove that I was really just simply increasing my body strength.

And the third, I was able to get the strongest weapon by making the current attack. Importantly, gather the powder from the splashed high vibrating carbon knife in the wind and put it in your pocket.

"That's so trivial, I figured it out, so what do you say!

More than just now, a rough, fast streak strikes me. Mixed with swords, fists and kicks fly across.

But more and more I'm able to afford it. No matter how many times a girl has repeatedly attacked me, I swear to God.

By enabling self-evolution, [the program] is evolving. [Program] is only the optimal behavior from the opponent's body's preliminary motion. But habits, patterns unrelated to direct movement. By accumulating data on what I said, and depressing the measures, we move faster.

Change from reaction to opponent's response to unlimited and precise predictions.

The girl fought my opponent for a long time. The more time passes, the more advantageous I become.

I have disarmed [Wind Armor] from earlier. Because the [program] has been optimized to the point where you don't have to use that help anymore.

Also, there's a gap. Now with his right hand, which should be broken, he stuck his palm out before spreading it. Strike out the girl's heart.

"Kaha."

"That would be disgusting, wouldn't it? The surface is just stiff, so the impact goes through."

What I used was a technique called armor. I let it go with a heart attack. Any monster stops moving for a few moments.

With the [wind armor] no longer needed, I could afford to use [enhanced self-healing ability].

So the opponent is completely cured.

"Besides, you can do this if you're just stiff."

As she crouches in, the girl pays her feet in a stiff moment. Her body falls off the ground.

I launched my floating body in the universe with the wind.

The girl, who is not in contact with the ground, naturally cannot step on it and dances high into the universe. restrain and nail that body with the wind.

"Lucier, Qu!

"I know."

"Leave it to me."

Kicked over by me, Ku has been hoarding his strength ever since as he watched for a chance to reliably flame his fox sight.

It's impossible to capture a girl on your own with the first blow, I'll make a chance. Believe me, I was waiting for that time.

And there is Lucier next to it. She knows. Our wind burns the flames harder.

Kuw protrudes his hand forward, and Lucier crawls his own hand into that hand.

"Think of our pain and anger! [Fox Fire]"

"[Sudden wind]"

Lucier's wind envelops Kuw's white flames, burning up so fiercely, gaining momentum and killing the girl. The flame changes from white to blue due to the increase in temperature. Powerful compared to when Ku let go alone. That captured the immobile girl perfectly.

My wind broke out of control with the flames now.

A girl in flames crashes to the ground. The surface is carbide and dyed black.

Dead. I thought so, but that black mass slowly rises.

"I'm alarmed, I'm dead"

Carburized skin collapsed and beautiful skin emerged from it.

All the swords and protective equipment were burned down, but not one after the burn on the skin of the naked girl.

"The flames. For once, I have some tolerance, but I'm not as strong as the others. True, it hurt. I've never been so painful in my life."

I'm going to turn my gaze on the kill, so I'm going to give it back with a laugh of ridicule.

"Well, why don't you try it again? I'll burn you in the sky as many times as I can."

The girl moves fast but naive. I'd do the same thing many times now.

"Yeah, that's enough. I'm tired. I'll kill you without moving a step. With my trump card."

I feel the magic increase. My whole body of uvula hair stands upside down.

It is a precursor to the inherent magic common to brave men.

"Don't worry, I don't have time to feel the pain. Goodbye."

That's what the girl said and thunder was released from her hands.

The speed of lightning is 200 km/h and its output reaches as much as 90,000,000,000 W.

Instead of dodging it, I can't even react, and its power is extra to kill me a thousand times.

But the thunder never reached me.

"Shall I give you back your earlier line?" That's your trump card? I'm out of expectations. '"

"No, it's a lie!

Thunder again, calling thunder again and again as if you can't believe what's happening in front of you.

I guess I have absolute confidence in thunder.

No matter how awesome the magic "Odd" in the brave man's body is, if he keeps making all this destructive with his own strength, instead of borrowing mana like us, he will eventually see the bottom.

But the results remain the same. Thunder never reaches me.

"It's no use. With that much power, you can't break my fence."

I lied face to face.

Yes, I'm building a wall of magic, and the only thing I can't get through is power.

Actually, no, the air is inherently insulated and does not pass through the electricity. Thunder and the like transmit air only because of the phenomenon that the insulation state is destroyed due to ultra-high voltage.

However, the higher the air pressure, the harder the insulation breakdown occurs. The air around me is barometrically operated to prevent insulation damage from happening, and it would be a powerful thunder, but it won't let it through.

"Then how about this!!

Lightly, on my provocation, I invoke an oversized thunder.

It is easy to prevent intact. But I dare to act like the fence was broken and slightly damaged.

"Come on!"

"Ha ha, this is my power! Think! Not yet, we can do it stronger!

As long as you give me power, you can turn me out of charcoal. The girl who believed such a stupid lie continues to waste her magic with greater strength and grandeur.

When I crossed the ten shots, I finally realized the discomfort as I sweated and cut my breath all over my body.

"What, so?

I lean my neck in a heartfelt wonder. But I don't reply to that, I silently pack the distance and slash it.

Because of both alarm and tiredness, the girl can't react to my knife sticking out unconstitutionally.

As usual, it was inhibited by [bodily hardening] skin, but in about a second it cut the flesh and the blood erupted.

"What's up? You're losing your guard."

Due to the wastage of magic caused by a series of thunder, the girl is reducing the magic of turning to [physical hardening], which was unconsciously protecting herself.

"Oh, my God, why, you're weak, why?

"Is this the first time you've fought a guy stronger than yourself? You should remember that. There's always more than one way to defeat someone stronger than you."

"Shut up! Die"

Consciously, I focused on [physical hardening], but now [physical strengthening] is more granular and the movement becomes dull.

Gently pull out the force and stick it together again and again, slashing it shallow and only seriously attacking and cleaving it when the opponent's [physical hardening] is loose.

This forces the girl, who was always trying to contain her consumption in order to restore her magic, to do her utmost, to use [physical hardening] and [physical strengthening].

Girls are becoming less and less magical and less pale. Never, nevertheless, off the ground, I am desperately alert to my feet.

So, I took a step back.

Vigilant as ever, the girl stiffens on the spot.

I wanted this moment.

The real trump card I had prepared. the gaps needed to use it. That didn't exist when the girl was unilaterally attacking this one without thinking about it.

"[Hydraulic operation]"

Flip the water bottle that was hanging on your hips and spill the water, manipulate it by magic to collect it in the palm of your hand and pressurize it.

Elves also have a fairly high Wind Compatibility Value: 90 but Water Compatibility Value: 70.

Then mix the metal powder into the collected water, which occurs when a high-vibrating carbon knife is poked at the girl. The third piece of victory cloth stone then was to secure this metal powder.

"[Barometric operation]"

Water pressure increased to its limit by hydromagic. It is further enhanced by wind magic from the outside.

And you're born with:

"Synthetic Magic [Water Blade]"

Water pressurized to the extreme by wind magic and hydromagic becomes an ultra-fast blade that pops up more than three times faster than the speed of sound.

That's called a blade, but there's a series of attacks on one extremely small point that's no longer close to a laser.

The water is turned into a murder weapon by pressurization and the resulting speed. More metal powder mixed with water increases cutting power to violent.

The fastest, most powerful sorcery that Cyril can do today.

Because of compound magic, there is a problem that you can only use it with one of the [physical enhancement], [program], or [perceptual dilation] that I constantly reside in, but it's a lot of power to make up for it.

"Gaha."

[Water Blade] cleaves the girl's skin and dyes it in blood.

Huge enough lacerations to reach the bone are running in suspension. No matter what anyone sees, it's fatal. But a creature called the brave can't be alarmed.

"[Water Blade]"

Further swing down from the heavenly edge of the opponent's head to pass under his crotch. The girl's body, which had already been fatally wounded and had not deployed [physical hardening], was cut off without resistance.

Brave men are alive and dirty.

An obsession with survival is engraved at the genetic level, resuscitating itself with an in vivo magic "Odd" that has an unconscious survival instinct in the key if the body's cells are alive.

"Ku, burn it down"

"... ok"

Even this, I still can't feel safe, so I burn it with the flame of the coo.

Burn down to a piece of the cell.

To this point, it is the presence of a brave man who can say for the first time, 'Probably will be fine'.

"Ku, I'm sorry"

"What do you apologize for?

"For kicking Ku and failing to protect Ku's brothers"

"It's not Cyril's fault."

Ku, lay down his face and deny it.

The truth is, wouldn't you have been helped if you had stopped by when you were coming, not on your way home? That's what you should be thinking.

That's what I think. There's no way Ku wouldn't think so.

"Cyril, do me a favor"

Ku looked strange and opened his mouth.

"Say it."

"The girl just cut it off, the tail of a fire fox, don't turn that into money. I want to bury you."

Khu begs desperately.

"Sure, our tails will be money. As many people attacked the village every year for tails and demon stones. I also know Elsier needs money! But tails are special for fire foxes. It sounds cute and I don't like sleeping with it taken away. I'll do anything I can, please."

"Okay. I don't sell tails. But the Imperial Soldiers will be here soon, so I'll take them home and bury them in Elsier. Is that all right?

"Thank you. And now we have a dead companion."

I hold a cu with tears in my eyes.

"Hey, Ku, you hate empires?

"... I hate it. I hate those guys who took away so much from me, my family, my friends."

"Well, I haven't told everyone yet, but when the snow breaks, it'll be a full-scale war. More than 3,000 soldiers of the Empire are attacking."

Ku and Lucier breathe into my words.

It is more than ten times the total Elsier population, and the number of people I once was, that I would never win.

"I have a plan to win. But we need Qu's power and the Demon Stone of Fire to do it. That kills them. But there is danger, and most importantly, using demonic stones means using the lives of the Firefoxes. Will Ku forgive me?

"Forgive me or nothing, I'm glad. That I can defeat them with my power..., and"

Khu removes a large, dark red demon stone from the demon stone next to him, which is lined with his mates' tails.

"Because your brother can fight with you."

"I hope so."

I laugh.

Originally, it was an operation I was thinking about, but I put it in my mouth at this time, to keep it forward to Khu for whatever reason.

so that you can walk without being swallowed up by grief.

"Let's get out of here before the soldiers of the Empire arrive. Take only the tail of the fire fox and the demon stone. Let's give up burying the body. Ku and Lucier will look for someone alive in the village. Acting together because it's dangerous."

"Okay, I'm coming."

You'll be back in a minute.

The two of them run off on their feet.

I see it and slowly open my mouth.

"Wouldn't this still kill you?"

The girl's signs are drifting around.

It's been a long time since I've seen an individual alive so far, so to speak of brave men.

Eventually the girl will be resurrected after some time.

"You think I can't kill myself."

Whatever you do, burn down the body, it won't go away.

I don't have a hitter anymore.

But it's not me. I can do it.

To that end, I drove them both away.

You know what a wound to your soul is, how scarier to miss this monster here.

"Liberation, my soul. The trajectory I left behind on the other side of time, here and now."

Start chanting to speak strongly within yourself.

A distorted soul screams.

Ignore the pain and think of me once.

"What I want is a greedy king who ruled the dark night world, whose name is..."

Former name. I read you nostalgic names.

"Gram Deal! [Circle Regression]!

My body is wrapped in light.

[Roundabout Regression], an intrinsic magic, is activated.

My body, where the light has subsided, is wrapped in a pitch-black coat and my hair and eyes are dyed black.

Long fangs in the mouth.

"Come on, you're gonna eat up, [Predator]"

I'm who I am now, when I was once called a vampire.

There is an image of sucking blood, but its essence is the plunder of existence.

Magic, soul, eats everything, sometimes dominates. That's what vampires are all about.

"I will take everything from you."

Inherent witchcraft, the activation of [predation], devours the remnants, magic, and souls of the few girls who remained on the field, even their residual thoughts.

It means total annihilation.

Power overflows. An overwhelming presence unlike the hundreds of elephants who took it as a deet.

Eventually, the presence of the girl, it all vanished.

Literally total annihilation.

No, minor discomfort. It's like indigestion, living in me...

"[Release], Gram Deal"

Confirm it and solve [Circumference Regression].

Unexpectedly scratch your chest . The recoil of the [circle regression] carried out in defiance of the restrictions afflicts me.

It collapses on the spot without even being able to stand.

"Ofu."

When I blamed him, he bled out.

I won't be able to stand for a while and I won't be able to exercise my magic.

It was done to this extent thanks to the fact that it had been five hours since the first time.

A little more, if the interval during which [circular regression] was carried out was short, or if I had been in Gram Deal for a long time, if I did poorly, I would still have a memory deficit and an untreatable disorder in the magic circuit.

It's bad for Lucier and Kuwe, who are desperately trying, but let me give them a break.

And if you look up at the sky, wait for the two of you to come back.

By the time they arrived, they had managed to recover and the three of us had visited the village.
