Chapter 348: The Elves’ City (3)

As I concentrated my magic on my ears, I started to hear a loud sound from the next room. Armed knights rushed into the room in an instant.

‘Fuck… What the hell did he say?’

Instantly I put my hand into my arms. It was only a matter of seconds to decide whether it was better to throw the Dragon Breath potion.

Princess Elena was constantly shouting as if she felt greatly embarrassed, but she didn’t seem to be that helpful.

“I have clearly told you to put down your weapon!”

“It is an order from Elios. We’re not trying to do any harm. It is in order to protect the guests for a moment.”

“Is that the attitude of those who want to protect now? It doesn’t matter if it’s an order from my brother. I will not stand it anymore.”

“I’m sorry, Elena-nim. I think you should stay, too.”

“What?”

“I’m sorry.”

I didn’t know what the hell was going on.

Of course, I didn’t feel the murderous intentions towards us from those elves, but I couldn’t feel comfortable with them trying to detain us.

‘It looks like everything is ruined.’

Naturally, I was seriously worried about whether I should escape from here. That was when the wall on the side collapsed.

The thing that emerged through the walls was holding a large shield.

“Vice Guild Master!”

It was Yoo Ahyoung.

Next to her was Kim Chang-ryul, wearing a mask as always.

“Come over this way. Quick, this way!”

Naturally, I got up and hurried. I could feel Yoo Ahyoung tightly grasping my body.

I could feel her, but it was impossible to think something differently in such a crazy situation. As soon as I grabbed Elena’s hand, she also came to this side.

“Ahhh!”

“What the hell is going on?”

“I-I’m not sure either. Why suddenly. Suddenly…”

“A trap? Is it a trap? Vice Guild Master?”

“I don’t know. Ahyoung-ssi, do you know where others are?”

“I do, Vice Guild Master.”

Kim Chang-ryul was the one who answered. Contrary to his name, his talent was not lame. Whatever it might be, I had to open my mouth quickly as opening the road was an urgent priority.

“We’ll try to avoid killing as much as we can.”

“Okay.”

The explanation was indeed concise, and the answer was short.

Immediately, Yoo Ahyoung put on the helmet that had been loose on the bed and started running. Kim Chang-ryul also prevented the elves from entering through the wall where Yoo Ahyoung had made a hole.

Interestingly, their level was way higher than I thought.

I thought it wouldn’t be bad if I looked at them carefully with my Mind’s Eyes when I had a chance, but it was impossible in the current situation.

As soon as I chanted the spell and flicked my fingers, the tail of a large dragon protruded from the floor and filled the wall that Kim Chang-ryul was blocking.

Despite not instructing anything else, Kim Chang-ryul stuck to the door with Yoo Ahyoung and began to break through the troops that were in the crowd.

“Come over here, Vice Guild Master!”

“Let’s look for Hayan first.”

A great flow of magic power emanated even before I finished talking. Of course, only Jung Hayan could move this level of magic power.

‘What is she planning now?’

No wonder I opened my mouth with a loud voice.

“Don’t kill!”

I shouted, but I don’t know if she heard it.

I waited for the magic to fall out of anxiety for a moment, and fortunately, the magic power disappeared as if she could hear my voice.

I didn’t know what this situation was right now, but I prevented the big magic from falling for now.

I didn’t think I could say it was instead, but…

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

With this sound, a few of the elves on one side could be seen bounced out.

It seemed that she simply injected her magical power and pushed away the oncoming troops. The place where the binge was heard was clearly from Jung Hayan’s room.

“Let’s go to the place where we heard the sound.”

“Okay.”

In my words, Yoo Ahyoung tapped the helmet again, and the face cover on top of the helmet had come down with a click.

I was worried if she was seeing properly, but I don’t have to worry about it in the first place. Her appearance immediately starting to move was quite impressive.

Wearing heavy armor and the way she was swinging the hammer, she could be called the main tanker rather than a blacksmith. She also seemed to have been influenced by Park Deokgu and Kim Hyunsung a lot, seeing her movements.

Since her talent was outstanding in the first place, it was not strange that she had grown to this extent.

Of course, the same was true for Kim Chang-ryul, who ran around whilst doing what Yoo Ahyoung couldn’t do.

‘Are we doing well with this?’

What bothered me was that they really did not seem to have any intention of killing us.

However, the situation was clear just by sending an armed army. I didn’t know if it was really only to contain us, or to protect us.

‘It would be better to find the others first.’

At least, it had been correct to listen to them when all the guild members were gathered together.

When I flicked my finger again, the dragon’s head popped out. However, this time, magic was gathered at the dragon’s mouth…

“It’s the B-Breath!”

“Get out of the way!”

There was no way I could shoot something like the Breath.

Yoo Ahyoung led me, and quickly we went between those who moved to space where we could escape and those who realized that they were deceived blushed, but it was already too late.

“There are four of them right around the corner.”

“Get ready, Ahyoung-ssi.”

“Okay, Vice Guild Master.”

At that moment, I was trying to push the magic power into the potion in my arms while moving my body like a slide to be prepared if anything happens.

Yoo Ahyoung, too, tried to swing the hammer, but put her hand straight on a familiar face.

No, to be precise, she was being blocked by a large shield.

“Gosh, you scared me, Hyung-nim! Ahyoung, you’re here, too!”

“Kiyoung-ssi!”

“Vice Guild Master!”

It was Park Deokgu, Han Sora, Hwang Jeong-yeon and Sun Hee-young.

Han Sora looked somewhat anxious while Park Deokgu and Hwang Jeong-yeon were no different than usual.

“Are you okay? What the hell is going on?”

“I’ll find Hayan first.”

“Maybe she’ll be fine because she’s with Hyejin.”

“Did you check where Ahn Ki-mo and Yeri are?”

“Maybe they are…”

Bang!

It was then that an explosion had been heard from upstairs.

As I glanced at the window, I could see Ahn Ki-mo and Kim Ye-ri jumping outward.

“We’re going, too.”

“Will Hayan be okay?”

“You said she’s with Hyejin. They will come down soon.”

“Oh, okay. Hold on tight, Hyung-nim.”

“Jeong-yeon and Sora, prepare floating magic.”

“Yes, Vice Guild Master.”

Before even sending a signal, Park Deokgu and Yoo Ahyoung strongly struck against the wall with their shields and, momentarily, the wall collapsed.

While I was trying to say something, Park Deokgu grabbed my waist and immediately fell to the ground without hesitation. Princess Elena was screaming with her eyes wide open, as if asking what was going on, but I wanted to ask it more.

I looked down and looked for Kim Ye-ri, but the problem was that I couldn’t see where she went.

As I fell, I turned my head, and I saw Kim Ye-ri hanging on the wall on one side. There was a string on her waist, and Ahn Ki-mo was hung at the end of the wire, screaming.

Kim Ye-ri, who saw us, immediately cut the line where Ahn Ki-mo was hanging, and she jumped.

I didn’t know how she could move in the air, but she grabbed Park Deokgu’s shoulder and joined the party, and floating magic was used on Ahn Ki-mo, who was falling.

Soon, Elena and I, Kim Ye-ri, and Yoo Ahyoung hanging on Park Deokgu, came down to Sora, and Sun Hee-young immediately opened her mouth to speak.

“Gather together.”

“Okay.”

She just said a word, but a light shined through the tightly gathered Blue Guild members.

The buff series of divine spells were constantly pouring out, and vitality began to grow in the body. The explanation was long, but in a series of steps that took place in an instant, Elena’s jaw dropped.

“A-Amazing…”

I could agree with her.

Even so, it seemed that our Hyunsung had not been still while I was resting, seeing that the growth of the party members stood out even to me.

There were also people whose stats were not completed, but they were completely offsetting each other’s shortcomings.

However, I was surprised only for a moment.

When I turned to move on to the next route immediately, I heard Elios’ voice approaching this side.

‘Ah…’

“I didn’t mean to attack. Please throw away your weapon.”

“Brother! What the hell is this for?”

“You stay quiet for a minute, Elena. I swear. I wasn’t trying to cause a big problem. I just had to keep you all safe until the detailed talk was over…”

“Isn’t that the same? What the hell are you doing? We have to talk.”

“It is difficult to talk about here. First, the weapon…”

‘Damn.’

“…”

‘What should I do with this?’

It was natural to think about whether I wanted to believe or not. Looking at Elena’s expression, she definitely didn’t know.

In general, I thought it could be a misunderstanding caused by Kim Hyunsung, but the possibility that the elves were related to the Republic could be excluded.

“I want to hear what’s going on first.”

“I can’t tell you here right now. Please give up. It won’t help both countries to cause other problems anymore.”

“You have to be aware that it is you who are causing the problem right now.”

“It was never meant to threaten. If you are surprised, I sincerely apologize.”

‘It doesn’t seem like he’s lying…’

Nevertheless, I didn’t feel comfortable throwing away the weapon in my hand.

When I was in the upper hand, it was only right to choose conversation, but anyone could see that the current guild is in a difficult situation.

If I were to even throw away my weapon, I could be ridiculously backstabbed. He blocked even the retreat.

It was not that I didn’t think of a picture of Elena being held hostage and escaping, but the fact stood that I didn’t want to.

“First, I have to do something about that bastard.”

He was powerful with a level similar to at least the Eight Seats. Even if I were to run away from here, doing something about him was the top priority. I looked carefully in an instant, and his power was not bad. Park Deokgu and Yoo Ahyoung stood in the front line, and Ahn Ki-mo and Sun Hee-young could take care of the sustain. If Jung Hayan or Cho Hyejin joined us, we could penetrate through not only him, but also the troops.

‘That bastard is the problem…’

It was when I was thinking about it that I remembered something.

‘Where’s Kim Chang-ryul again?’

He was nowhere to be seen. I wondered if he ran away by himself, but he wasn’t that lame. I don’t know what that guy was thinking, but I think I knew.

‘Should I do it?’

I could try. It would be more beautiful to start with a surprise attack if I was thinking about breaking through them. Quickly, I put my thoughts into action. As soon as I chanted the spell, the party members who noticed my movement reacted. Elios also showed a startled expression and pulled out his sword, but Kim Chang-ryul with a dagger jumped out in a moment.

‘Kim Chang-ryul, you cowardly bastard! Nice!’

The guy turned and grabbed Kim Chang-ryul’s hands, but the coward began to say some memorizations with a shouting sound. I thought that I was experiencing the miracle of the red mask he always wore, but the elf turned his head and avoided even that. Of course, Kim Ye-ri took the chance and quickly launched and took off the dagger from the hand of the guy holding Kim Chang-ryul, and Park Deokgu and Yoo Ahyoung immediately grabbed the shield and took a big step forward. The surprise attack gave me some time to think.

‘We can break through.’

If there was a mistake in my calculation, it was that Kim Chang-ryul could not get out of his arms completely.

Bang!

With that sound, I could see Elios crushing Kim Chang-ryul, who was stuck on the floor.

“I am serious. Throw away your weapon. I didn’t want to do any harm.”
