29. Save the Elves
~ Elf Long Hayes Perspective ~
"Oh, why are you doing this?"
I was desperate for the sight in front of me.
Sudden landslides took a heavy toll on the Elf Ridge.
"Master Elf, most of us have managed to escape on instructions, but some have been swallowed by the whole house and have been delayed in escaping!
"Yes, that's right! Hurry up and get rid of the dirt and sand before we leave!
"But we don't have enough manpower or power to get rid of this amount of dirt and sand!
"Nh...!
My men were shouting confused voices.
The subordinates were right to point out that a lot of dirt and sand was crushing the house.
Without immediate rescue, the crushed will suffocate before they can be rescued.
(What do I do...)
I felt my throat dry. The house being crushed was that of Linslot, where the baby had recently been born. It's also my best friend's house. The new life is about to be taken in the worst way.
"Why? Isn't locking up a guy named Ariake the solution...?"
"Isn't it true that Elf Captain didn't have the protection of the Spirit?
"Good evening. I've never heard of an elf being swallowed up by a natural disaster..."
"Hey, no, at a time like this. I can hear you."
I heard the voices of my compatriots.
Normally, you will be reprimanded for your dignity.
But now I felt painful that each of their words was true.
"I shouldn't have been the head of the elf. It led to this situation."
Tears burst out of my mind.
But I also know that it is only sweet in front of nature.
"Elf Captain, please run!
Eh?
I was stunned and delayed in responding.
"The second wave is coming! Hurry up!
The first wave of landslides must have softened the ground. There was a landslide again and the mountain skin swallowed and drifted off.
The amount is not the ratio of the first wave. It will swallow up the entire village of the elves.
It's over.
I closed my eyes in despair.
I wanted to apologize to all my compatriots if I could. I'm sorry about the incompetent length.
And... the other one.
"I suppose you should have listened to Lord Ariake."
I know now. All his words were "boobs" considering our elves. Then I guess I deserve this.
The earth currents were approaching.
And the currents soon drove me away.
... was supposed to be.
"What are you giving up on yourself? You must be the head of the elf."
The words came from before me.
Then let me finish it off.
I really believed that God had come at that time.
~ Ariake Perspective ~
"[Time stagnation] [Gravity manipulation] [Shock absorption] [Resistance generation] [Synthesis] of the above skills," [Range] [Continuous deployment] with skills "
I used my skills lightly before the mudslide to gently swallow the village of Elves.
"Su, wow..."
"What's going on... the dirt and sand..."
"The landslide is coming back!
My skills pushed back the second wave of earth currents.
"The principle is simple, reversing gravity while slowing down the flow of the entire stream. On the other hand, it generates gravity in the opposite direction, reversing the flow. Of course, but the danger is still not zero, so I've killed the shock just in case."
"It's not easy!! Who else but Milord can imitate you like that!!
The collet I followed was stuck next to me.
"Impossible."
The elves in the countryside also opened their eyes.
"Yes, was it really a useless Porter, Ariake who banished the brave party...?
"And I can't believe it. Something went wrong. What a miracle!
"Ah, skill synthesis... and I've never heard of it as a continuous development!
The elf men were confused.
But Captain Elf Hayes approached me.
Only this one was calm somewhere.
And then...
"Lord Ariake the Great Sage!!
That's how you stare at me...
Suddenly, I sat down. The elves around me are surprised, but they always open their mouths when it comes to things like that.
"I'm so sorry! And thank you! The village was saved thanks to you! A lot of lives saved!
It was a word of heartfelt gratitude.
"But..."
Hayes answered the question in unison.
"Why did you help fools like us? We don't listen to you, and we're locked up in jail..."
Hah, I sigh.
"I didn't save anything else. It happened that a disaster struck me, so I just protected myself."
"What happened? I didn't help you, did I?
"Yes, it is."
"Milord, did you manage to run from your sealed prison to here?" Hazard Detection "Skill reacted! Say something."
I didn't say that.
"Well, I think I've seen Sera say something like that and dash it all."
"I don't know."
Ariake shook his head without changing his expression.
"What an extraordinary victory you've done so much..."
Looking at our nasty interactions, for some reason Hayes was once again deeply necked.
"Apologize again. Lord Ariake the Great Sage. I heard you banished the brave party and made a lot of annoying remarks about you. This is the biggest mistake of my life. You are worthy of a brave line of men with the strength and insights that are worthy of the Great Sage... No, it must be the existence that has substantially led the brave party... I can be sure of that now.... but I'm just struggling to understand why the Brave Party banished a wise man like you... Anyway, I am sincerely ashamed of my disappearance and on behalf of all the elves I apologize here. Lord Ariake the Great Sage, I'm sorry. And on behalf of all the elves, I would like to thank you again. Thank you so much for saving me."
"Elf's Apology." That's rare.
And more than that, "Elf gratitude." It is said to be an act that can only be shown when the elf forgives in a real sense.
"But it's not over yet. We need to get the elves out of the house crushed by the first wave. We don't have time."
"Exactly. That is a very generous request, but please, Lord Ariake. Help us. As Elf Leader, I would like to officially ask Lord Ariake, the Great Sage, for help. Exactly."
I lowered my head deeply.
However,
"No, I can't do it alone. You guys do your best to get us out of here."
I shook my head flat.
And the answer is, the surrounding elves,
"True... But in our weak elves..."
"With wind magic, you'll blow every squashed house with dirt..."
I answered Captain Elf, Serra, and the other elves with desperate expressions.
"Hmm, even if they say so... Speaking of which, what I can do is make the gravity of the dirt and sand around here about one-tenth. And keep recovering so that the health of those who are being crushed doesn't diminish. I'm going to double your strength a hundred times."
"What about it?"
"What?
The elves raised their confused voices.
"You must have said that. They don't have the power to push the earth and sand. We don't have enough time to help those who were crushed by it. Well, that's all I can do to help. I can't take any more of this."
That's how I start activating my skills.
"Range Skill Activated"
"" "Promote Self-Repair (Strong)" "Activated"
"Gravity 1/10 activated."
"[Strength] Activate"
"Huh? Eh, wow! We're massively powerless."
Look at this biceps forearm!
"Look, this big rock is right here! Now they won't say weak!
There seems to be a feeling of emotion in a subtle place.
"Still, it's an amazing skill..."
"And Ariake ran for us."
"You saved me from the second wave. He is our Savior."
"The banishment of the brave party..."
"Isn't a brave party more incompetent than a fool's? How dare you throw out such a wise man!
"That must be it! Instead, it was the Warrior Party that banished the Great Sage who made the covenant with the ancestors!
"Oh, I'm sure it is! Stupid braves!
"Damn it, you stupid brave parties! If I see you, I want to punch you in the face!
It seems like a scattered message.
They moved their hands swiftly with such bad words.
That said, it didn't take long for the muscle mollimachoman elves to remove the lightened earth and sand.
And the elves were safely rescued from the crushed private house.
