I'm a full level newbie - Chapter 408
408fury. Alliance with High Elves (2)
Again... . Again... . Again….
Red blood drops fell beneath the inverted cross..
"okay. Looks like I still have nothing to say."
Remia stroked Melena's cheek..
"Cough… ha… . just… kill it."
Melena took a deep breath..
Perhaps because he had been subjected to extreme torture, his appearance was truly horrendous..
"What a terrible kid. If you use your hands like this, you would usually open your mouth.."
"Another solution is to cut off one arm. If I cross the irreversible river, I will open my mouth to protect what is left.."
sreung!
Mordrey, who was next to him, immediately drew his sword..
Is it because of the fact that I have been betrayed all along??
The anger Mordray felt was beyond imagination..
It's a given..
Even before the Tower of Trials appeared, it was the demons who had been working together..
"Ha, what kind of lover is shaking like he's having an affair? Betrayal was not a given in this world.?"
"okay. That's also true. but…."
Puuk!
The tip of the knife dug into my thigh..
"Ahhhhh!"
"I don't know about others, but I can't bear to betray myself. Melena. I am the one who saved you from almost being killed by the mafia while dealing in arms.!"
"stop."
As I was about to cross the line, Remia opened her mouth..
"……."
Mordrey's sword stopped..
"As you may have guessed, you're going to die anyway. But how you die is up to you."
"Hmm... . If possible, I'd like to eat enough to grow old and have a glass of wine in a warm bed, but wouldn't that be possible??"
"Hehehe. The mouth is still alive. However, everyone has limits. Finding that limit is my specialty. Before you become more distressed, please reveal Jinhyeok Kang's plan and whether there is another spy in it.."
"I told you. Just kill me. Why does this bitch called Demon have such a long tongue??"
"……Geary."
Remia's face distorted grimly..
"modray."
"yes."
"Just let me breathe."
"Leave it to me.."
Mordray picked out a torture device lying on a wooden table..
"Tristan. You interrogate the remaining demons one by one. If there are other spies, they must be identified and reported immediately.."
Tristan, who had been quiet, trembled at Remia's command..
"My complexion doesn't look so good, but I guess there's something wrong.?"
"Oh, no. Could it be that there is a traitor among my colleagues... I just didn't think it would exist."
Tristan looked at Melena with a complicated face..
But it only lasted a moment.

Hundreds of rangers headed forward across the swamp.
Even when a force of this size moves, no sound is made..
High Elves Rangers were fast and quiet..
'Indeed, I understand that even demons cannot handle it easily..'
If these guys carry out a guerrilla war while hiding, it will be annoying no matter how much you are Remia..
But, just then.
ring.
A status window appeared in front of Jinhyuk..
[A call request came from the slave 'Melena'..]
This is ridiculous..
There was no way Remia inside the temple would allow such a gap..
'Remia... Did you get Melena??'
Otherwise, there was no reason for Melena to activate the currency system at this time..
However, if you betrayed, 'Soul Brand' will be activated.….
'What the hell is going on??'
There are all kinds of scenarios running through my head, but there is only one way to find out..
Jinhyuk accepted the call request..
Then, I heard a familiar voice..
"We decided not to contact each other until we met in person.?"
"It did. But, it's okay. A friend inside created a gap. You won't be intercepted or discovered.."
"Looks like I did something useless again. Phew. If you stay quiet, will you get sick? huh?"
"I'll get scolded later, so stop complaining. Since we don't have much time, let's share only the important things.."
I can't help it because it's already like this.
"good. Now, let's start with the arrangement of the demons and where Remia and the Seven Deadly Sins are currently staying.."
"The demons will be placed outside the temple. However, they are all decoys and the main force, including Remia, is waiting for you to arrive inside the temple. The Seven Deadly Sins are supposed to guard the ‘Dark Magic Stone’ side.."
As expected, they are taking the method of setting a trap and waiting..
Since their goal is to activate the gate inside the temple, they will probably plan to make the most of it to outmanoeuvre them..
Only one.
What I don't understand is that the Seven Deadly Sins of Gluttony protect the dark magic stone..
It is true that the black magic stone that supplies demon energy to the demons is the second main target after the gate.….
'It's unexpected'
I thought they would prioritize getting rid of me rather than that..
At first, the Black Magic Stone side was planning to send paragons and nobles who handle spirit beasts, but if things turn out this way, they will have to revise their plans..
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed..
'What on earth are you planning?.'
A situation unfolded that was completely opposite to Remia's personality, which likes to end things quickly..
Although the black magic stone was important, it was only when the battle was prolonged or when they were trying to minimize the damage from the magic beasts placed outside..
"Hmm. Well, there is nothing bad for us either. Because there is an opportunity to eliminate the enemy's maximum power.."
Jinhyuk made a decision..
"I need to send T-Bone and Frey to the place where the dark magic stones are. There are kids I planted at the altar anyway, so redistributing the number of people like this will be enough.."
"I think that would be good too. ah! I have to go now."
Before the conversation ended, Melena added one last word..
"The tea you made me when I was at the lake... I definitely want to eat there again. I really liked it."
[The call has ended.]
The blue status window blinked and then disappeared..
***
thud! thud! thud!
With a roar that shakes the earth.
The demonic beasts at the entrance to the temple roared in unison..
"Oh oh oh!"
"Giggling! food!"
Infected organisms that live on medium and large-sized hell beasts and various monsters.
An innumerable army covered the swampland..
And in front of it, the elf army led by Jinhyeok took up position..
"That's a huge number. If we fought properly, we wouldn't be able to last even half a day and would be annihilated.."
Paragon swallowed his dry saliva as he looked at his enemies..
I knew the enemy's force was powerful, but when I encountered it directly in front of me, its scale was much bigger than I expected..
27So much so that it feels like all the demons on the floor have been gathered together..
"All you have to do is pretend to fight. Don't go too deep by hitting and running.."
"okay. Let's try to act appropriately.."
"ah. and. I think you should go inside with us. All the rest of the magical girls as well."
"what?"
"Things got a little messy inside. There is a magic stone that supplies demonic energy to the demons, and I would like your help in destroying it.."
"No, didn't they clearly say that we had no reason to enter the temple? You shouldn't suddenly change your words like this.!"
"There are also elves infected with parasites in there. There are still elves who haven't been infected yet. What does it mean... know?"
At Jinhyuk’s words, Paragon stopped screaming..
"……."
"okay. that's right. We really need your help to save them.."
"This was the plan from the beginning. Fucking go. Why not go? instead,"
Paragon glared at Jinhyuk as if he couldn't give up on this much..
"say it."
"Please, please, let me take off these clothes. Even though I am the commander of the defense, I lose face in front of my subordinates by acting like this.."
"okay. I'm going to hell, please just let me take these clothes off."
"I, too, please."
The magical girls begged as one..
but….
"no."
"Why, why on earth doesn’t it work?!"
"There will be a lot of infected elves inside, so we need to differentiate between them and the friends.."
Honestly, I can't tell who is who because all the elves look the same..
But wouldn't it be possible to clearly recognize who is an ally if one wears such a distinctive outfit??
In other words, it is a 100 times more reliable method than passwords or enemy identification bands..
"Rattling. Master is right. I don't think you'll ever be mistaken."
"huh. The identification probability is 100%."
Even Frey, who rarely gives 100%, agreed..
at last.
Paragon and the rest of the high elves had no choice but to cry and eat mustard and join Jinhyeok..
It was a few minutes later that the war began..
"attack!"
"Make sure those dirty bastards never touch elves again.!"
Hundreds of arrows flew and various spirit magic struck the center of the demonic beasts..
Kwakwakwakkwak.!
Kwaaang!
The place where various attribute magic swept away turned into ruins..
but.
"Crrrrr…."
"Giggling! The prey came to me on their own.?"
"I couldn't find where they were hiding, but I can finally catch them all.."
Only a small number of people suffered damage.
Most of the demonic beasts were still alive and well..
This is the beginning of a full-scale war..
And while the two forces are struggling for their own purposes,.
A small number of people left the battlefield.
***
[Entered inside the temple.]
Whoosh.
A thick bloody smell stung the tip of my nose..
It is a place completely different from the swamp outside, with a deep smell of death..
Moreover, the extremely bizarre sculptures and various torture devices made my hair stand on end just by encountering them..
"We are the ones who came in here... It's my first time. I'm crazy. I'm crazy."
Paragon muttered in a very nervous voice..
"If you go a little further, you will come to a fork in the road. Be nervous. Among the infectious agents, there are many who specialize in erasing their presence.."
"shit. I don't think I'll be able to recognize you even if I approach you openly.…."
The pillars covered with skulls and the plants full of thorns were so crowded that they were blocking the view..
Even if there is an enemy right in front of you, it won't be easy to notice..
But right then.
whirring!
Something suddenly flew from the ceiling..
"Wow!"
Before I could react, an elf ranger soared into the air..
"enemy!"
Paragon immediately staged a protest..
puck! puff!
"Kieeee!"
A spider measuring about 3 meters was jumping from pillar to post..
'jumping spider'.
It is a spider with a relatively small body but long legs..
It was already an annoying type nicknamed assassin, but it had become even faster and more agile due to infection..
Moreover, jumping spiders were not the only ones reacting to intruders..
Kagagak. So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so….
The sound of a huge ax being dragged across the floor..
Even a three-armed teratoma called ‘Talmite’ emerged..
Because the entire body was covered with a reinforced shell, it was difficult to inflict fatal damage with arrows..
"Gooooo!"
"Oooh!"
Muscular magicians swung axes.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The pillar shattered in one blow..
The nimble elves barely escaped the attack, but….
Sigh.
I couldn't avoid the surprise attack of the jumping spider on the ceiling..
"Wow!"
Once again, an elf disappeared into thin air..
If they were attacked like this, it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out..
