chapter 21
21 – Rescue the Princess.
Shuuu…
“Five? Or six?”
I calculated the number of abductees while flying over the huge forest behind the castle.
Looking at the flow felt by the memory of the wind, it was estimated that there were at least 5 people, and at most 6 people.
‘Is that it?’
Following the traces of the wind and flying all the way, I found the entrance to a small hidden cave.
“[Dark Veil]”
As I came out of the labyrinth, I reactivated the [Dark Curtain] That I had turned off.
Then slowly entered the cave.
“Footprints…”
As soon as we entered the cave, there were several footprints presumed to be human.
I don’t know what kind of liver he is, but taking the daughter of the Beast King… Isn’t he afraid of the aftermath?
– ㅇ..That……. Ha…
‘It’s a voice.’
As we went deeper into the cave, we could hear people’s voices along with the light.
I believed in the [Veil of darkness] And entered the direction where the light came from.
Then, two strange-looking people were talking.
“When is the departure?”
“Looks like we’re leaving soon. It’s a big deal if the Beast King comes looking for us right away.”
“Really?”
The guys I was talking to were not normal human beings.
Pale skin, horns on top of head.
Its appearance was very similar to the ‘Evils’ that often appear in fantasy games.
“Let’s smoke a cigar and go back.”
“That’s good. Roll one up.”
They took out cigars and lit a fire to continue their conversation.
I used my emotions while listening to their conversation.
[LV 37 Oyster]
HP: 3512/3512
Mana: 1721/1721
Status: None
[LV 39 Garoon]
HP: 4217/4217
Mana: 1561/1561

“What is Rex trying to do with her anyway?”
“Well… You’re trying to ask the Beast King for something, aren’t you?”
“Surely, she’s a princess, and the ransom must be exorbitant.”
After that, most of what I could get from the conversations they had was useless information.
Even if yesterday’s rice was tasteless or I want to eat meat…
‘I have to deal with it now.’
I quietly used [Psychokinesis] To block the passage through which they escaped.
Then he chanted the Wind Property Intermediate Wind of Silence.
The Wind of Silence was a magic that used mana to block out surrounding sounds.
“Hmm? Surely there was a road here?”
“What kind of nonsense is that?….. Huh? What is it, why is it blocked with rocks?”
They seemed bewildered as they suddenly saw the road blocked by rocks.
I took advantage of that gap and chanted the low-level magic, the sword of wind, to create an invisible sword of air.
Then, I moved behind the hijacker named Garun, who had the highest level, and put the wind sword into his throat.
[Savage Attack is activated.]
“Huh?!”
“Garun?!”
Garun died instantly with his head blown off.
“Who are you?!”
Gul, who survived alone, tried to swing his sword at me, who suddenly appeared, but the attack route seemed too obvious to me, who had the ability of [Golden Eyes of the Sword Master].
Immediately, I slashed Gul’s sword with the wind sword and put the flame of the Suzaku in my left hand and inserted it into Gul’s face.
Then Gul’s face contorted and started to burn at the same time.
“Well ahhhhhding!
“You won’t hear me no matter how much I call you?”
“Keep it off…”
Finally, the oyster’s brain was completely burned and he died.
[You have reached LV 41.]
[It has become King of All Diseases LV 2.]
At the same time as level 41, [King of All Byeongji], Which did not climb because he did not use his sword well in the labyrinth, finally became level 2.
Your level goes up even if you catch someone?
“[Psychokinesis]”
I used telekinesis to open the cave again and went inside.
Then one of the kidnappers made a new appearance inside the cave.
“Why don’t these guys come like this?”
It was grumbling and walking towards me with a torch.
I waited for him to approach while hiding in the [Dark Curtain].
“Hey! You guys hurry…Huh?”
f*ck-!
[Savage Attack is activated.]
Take one more bird with this.
Are there two or three left now?
I waited for the [Dark Curtain] To reappear, then went inside again.
After about a minute of walking, a large space appeared. There was a round table, and two people were sitting on chairs next to the table.
“What is Albedo doing now?”
“Albido-sama? Ahh… It looks like he’s watching the princess in there.”
“Keukkeuk…You’re not being monitored, are you just relieving stress?”
“Well, that could be the case… But since it’s Rex’s name, wouldn’t you refrain from calling it Alvido?”
“Sheesh… It’s pretty. I was going to have a spoonful if Albido-sama eats it…”
They were talking dirty and giggling.
Once I heard it, it seemed that Ellie was caught in the aisle in the back.
“It’s time to leave soon. We should hurry before the Beast King notices.”
“Already? Then I’ll have to tell Alvido.”
At that time, one person got up from a chair and walked towards the narrow aisle.
I took advantage of that gap and chanted Silence of the Wind, then grabbed the walking guy by the neck.
“Kek?!”
“What! Who are you?!”
As I lifted my neck, one of the people who remained in the chair screamed at me in surprise.
Instead of answering, I focused the flame of the Suzaku in my hand and burned one person in an instant.
“Fire Mage?!”
“Everyone thought so?”
I grinned evilly as I roughly tossed the corpse of the kidnapper, whose face had all been burned, against the wall.
“Albido! Surprise…”
“I can’t hear you anyway.”
I used [Psychokinesis] To force his mouth to shut. Then, with telekinesis, he began to break his arms and legs.
“Eup.!…. Ugh..!”
“It hurts, but I can’t scream… It’s hard, isn’t it?”
He tried to scream in pain as his arms and legs were broken, but his mouth was blocked by telekinesis, so he let out a weak moan before dying quietly.
With this, there is only one hijacker named Alvido left.
“Then shall we go and rescue the princess?”
I reactivated the [Dark Curtain] And entered the narrow passage.
***
“Ugh…”
“Have you come to your senses. Princess.”
‘This is…’
Ellie woke up in an unfamiliar prison.
The air was stuffy, as if it were underground.
“I suffered a little because the resistance was strong.”
“You are…”
Ellie glared at her demon looking at her from outside her cage.
“What do you want!”
“It’s what I want…Yes, I don’t know that. Rex-sama ordered it, so I have no choice but to follow it.”
“Rex…?!”
Ellie knew a man named Rex.
As the head of the goblin race, a type of demon, he is more famous as the commander of the Corps of Despair in the Central Continent.
“Couldn’t it be…This invasion was initiated by the commander of the Legion of Despair…!”
“That’s correct.”
You have to let me know. Corps commander-level demons are nothing short of a disaster. In fact, the commander of the corps is so dangerous that his father can only win.
“Ugh…!”
“It’s useless. Those shackles are mana restraints, so you can’t use mana.”
“Dirty bastard..!”
Ellie lashed out at the goblin man in front of her.
“Soon, you will be transported to the Demon Army base where Rex-sama is.”
“Kuh…”
“If Rex-sama hadn’t told me to bring him back, he would have only tasted it once… It’s a pity.”
Ellie was deeply disgusted by her demonic male who licked her tongue with an evil smile.
‘The Gaon I met in the labyrinth wasn’t like this…’
Is he awake now? He was going to meet him in person to say thank you, but now he can’t meet?
Ellie instantly remembered his face.
‘Come to think of it… He was quite handsome…’
Ellie’s face flashed red as she recalled the wonderful image of him burning all the hellish worms.
She didn’t know herself, but Ellie’s ideal type was to be around the same age as her and handsome, and above all else, she had to be strong.
In other words, it was an undeniable fact that Gaon was Ellie’s perfect ideal type, but she still couldn’t admit her own heart.
“Hmm…But why are they so late when they told me to come when it’s time?”
At that moment, the goblin man muttered with an annoyed expression.
“I’ve brought you guys who are quite capable… But they can’t even do such a simple mission?”
The goblin man opened the prison door with a look of helplessness.
“It’s been too late. It looks like my subordinates were busy playing and didn’t check the time. I’ll take you with me myself.”
“Don’t touch me!”
The goblin man held out his hand to Ellie, who was unable to move by her restraining sphere, and Ellie, who saw it, closed her eyes tightly.
But Ellie didn’t feel the filthy touch she imagined.
“Where do you want to touch the princess?”
“Kuh?!”
At that moment, a beautiful flower of fire bloomed.
*****
As I exited the narrow passage, I saw a small prison.
In the prison, Ellie, the princess of the watering country with bobbed orange hair, was tied up, and a man with pale horns stood in front of her.
Unlike the kidnapper I killed, the man had a strong mana aura.
‘Emotion’
[LV 61 Albido]
HP: 9617/9617
Mana: 4561/4561
Status: None
Strong.
But it’s worth trying.
At least it looked much weaker than the Black Giant Ogre.
“It’s been too late. It looks like my subordinates were busy playing and didn’t check the time. I’ll have to take you on my own.”
“Don’t touch me!”
Albido, the man with horns, opened the prison door and approached Ellie.
I took advantage of that gap and chanted magic.
I passed the storm spear and advanced magic because it was too dangerous with Ellie around.
Instead, I decided to put plenty of flame and void mana.
‘Complete.’
I got ready to shoot the spear of the storm and approached Albido.
Then he fired the spear of the storm while shouting at Albido who was trying to touch Ellie’s body.
“Where do you want to touch the princess?”
[Savage Attack is activated.]
“Kuh?!”
Because of the storm spear that exploded in close proximity, Albido flew and crashed into the wall.
Albido’s body burned and his wounds were dyed purple at the same time due to Suzaku’s flame and void mana coating.
“Ughhhhh…!”
[LV 61 Albido]
HP: 5417/9617
Mana: 4561/4561
Status: Void Curse LV 3, Burn
“What is this…!”
Albido started screaming as if he was in pain from Void Curse LV 3.
“aaah!!”
“Wave!”
Puong-!
I fired an additional wave at the confused Albido.
Then Albido, who was hit directly in the head by the waves, trembled with his legs.
It was like looking at a water-soaked jackal.
“aaa!! Dark Spear!!”
As Albido suffered from the curse of the void, he summoned a black spear and fired at me.
But…
Pu-wook!
“Ga…Gaon?!”
I was just calmly hit by the jet-black spear.
Ellie widened her pupils and trembled as if she was worried about me being struck by magic.
[HP: 7212/7627]
‘Really hardly ever.’
Currently, I have 80% damage reduction against all magic due to the [Those who fell into the void] Effect.
In other words, in fact, the current me is no different from an anti-magician.
“Geuuu could possible could possible come true even after being hit by my magic!”
“What are you having fun with?”
Is this level 61? Is this much easier than Abyss Wolf?
“If you want to deal with me, at least become an Abyss Wolf and come back.”
“That’s mousse…!…Keugh! Dark Ball!! Dark Wave!!”
I approached him, calmly receiving the magic that Albido fired.
Then Albedo screamed and shouted at me.
“Don’t come!! This monster is sooooo!!”
“Who says you’re a freak?”
It’s more like a monster.
“[Psychokinesis]”
“Big!”
I used telekinesis to restrain his body.
Still, Albido, whether there was a level 61 jjambab, began to collect mana to resist the telekinesis.
But it just wasn’t me to be watching.
“Huh?!”
“I’ll send you like your subordinate.”
I grabbed Albido’s neck with my right hand and lifted it up.
Then he started pouring out the flames of Suzaku with all his might.
Roaring~!
“Quaaa”
“It’s so tough to look for a kid.”
Because Alvido had so much stamina, he burned slowly compared to his other subordinates.
Thanks to him, he suffered longer and died slowly.
Tuddeudeuk…
About a minute later, Albido completely turned to ashes and disappeared, and I freed Ellie, who was staring at me with a blank expression with her eyes wide open.
Anyway, Ellie’s face was red. Where are you sick
“Where are you sick?”
“Ah… No yi…”
What’s wrong with your expression? f*ck.
