Episode 100: King of the Dark Elves (3)
“Is this here? The place where the kids and Seongjae oppa disappeared.”
A little while ago, Yoo Sung-eun had just arrived at the entrance of the 《Kane》 guild.
Shabby exterior and interior.
The gloomy mana that I can already feel is flowing down with high pressure, creating a blue wave.
Yoo Sung-eun, who looked around, frowned.
This is obviously a strange place.
Doors squeaking because they have not been oiled and windows that cannot be seen inside. Not only that, but even the thick scent of blood spreading from the inside.
“No matter how you think about it, it doesn’t seem like a normal guild building.”
Yoosung nodded and headed straight into the guild without hesitation.
Perhaps because Jaehyun and his party had already been there, the door was open.
What a profit… … .
The door moved and made an old metal sound.
As I entered, my anxiety grew more and more.
“hmm… … .”
No matter how you think about it, this is dangerous.
A building reminiscent of an abandoned building. An arithmetic formula written in white chalk abandoned in a long hallway.
Even the puddles of dark red blood that flowed around, perhaps as a result of being swept away by the ceremony.
Yoo Sung-eun already realized at once how the situation had turned just by looking at it.
“There are traces of the transmission magic being activated. It is also very powerful.”
Judging by the formula, this was a high-level ‘other world transmission ceremony’.
Magic that transports users directly to the dungeons of the nine worlds excluding Midgard.
Although it has not yet been revealed to the public, this is a type of transmission magic currently under covert research.
‘Now I understand.’
A few solid facts popped into my mind.
one. A person presumed to be Gu Ja-in’s forces installed another world transmission magic here.
two. Jae-hyeon and his party, who came here to save the cadets, were forcibly transported somewhere.
three. It is a level of dungeon that cannot be easily cleared with Park Seong-jae and Jae-hyun’s skills alone.
Yoo Sung-eun realized that the situation was much more serious than he thought.
‘At least the fact that «Ivaldi’s Earring» didn’t work yet doesn’t mean it’s the worst situation.
But it’s true that the longer you drag it out, the more dangerous the kids are. I have to move as quickly as possible.’
Yoo Sung-eun immediately began to interpret the expression written in the center of the hallway.
“… … A high-level arithmetic expression. Guin… … It’s a lot bigger than you think.”
I unknowingly bit my lower lip.
Yoo Seong-eun started to speed up a little more.
“This, this… … !”
After a while.
The arithmetic expression emitted light and began to brighten up the dark interior of the building.
With trembling hands, Yoo Seong-eun lightly infused magic into the ceremony.
ugh… … .
The transparent magic circle that surrounded the corridor began to appear more clearly.
Eventually, the light took on the form of letters and quickly vomited its meaning.
Yoo Sung-eun began to read the magic language written there.
“You foolish one. The world of the dark elves… … With Svartalfame. you. send.”
As soon as the words were cut off, a heavy silence fell.
Yoo Seong-eun’s face turned blue.
If what you just read is correct, this is a more serious matter than you can imagine.
Svartal Fame.
It is the world of the Dark Elves.
Raiders that survived Svartal Fame are rare enough to count on one hand.
A barren land in the radar world where the strategy has yet to be fully developed.
That place was Svartal Fame.
All sorts of emotions flooded her mind.
“The kids and Sungjae oppa are in danger.”
Park Seong-jae does not have good compatibility with the dark elves, and the others are only cadets.
The only reliable one is reproduction.
“I have to join Jaehyun as soon as possible.”
After taking a deep breath, Yoo Seong-eun lightly stood on top of the circular magic circle.
Of course I know it’s a trap.
But now there was no other way. This was the best way to join them as quickly as possible.
Gyyyy… … .
The magic circle takes effect, and it is both brilliant and dark. It emits viscous magic power.
A thick darkness that seemed to swallow Yoo Seong-eun at any moment.
Once again the familiar phrase echoes.
[You fool. The world of the dark elves. With Svartalfame. you. send.]

It didn’t take long to clear the Dark Elves’ post.
In the first place, the difference between the sexes was so overwhelming that it was a natural result.
However, Jaehyun’s expression as he left the guard post and returned was infinitely darker.
‘As expected, there were more forces left. Even stronger than the guys I killed. A monster that is almost S-class… … Other people are dangerous.’
Anxiety that beats the heart.
Jaehyun shook his head not to assume the worst.
Just now.
After killing all the Dark Elves in the post, Jaehyun used Magical Detect. It was to observe the group’s dynamics.
but… … There is a variable here.
‘A guy with power comparable to that of a king is heading that way.’
It was unbelievable.
Didn’t the dark elves serve only one king?
But why do I feel the power equivalent to the mana felt in the boss room?
“If you are even a little late, everyone will die.”
Jaehyun swept his earlobe once and began to pour magic power into it.
It was the item I received from Yoo Sung-eun when I first gathered with the party to solve the dungeon case.
《Ivaldi’s Earring》.
An item that automatically gives a signal to a partner when the wearer is in an emergency.
The problem is that the triggering condition for this earring is an ’emergency situation’.
The conditions for this ‘critical situation’ are not objective, and the item determines them arbitrarily.
Thanks to this, the effect of the earring did not activate immediately after arriving in Svartal Fame for the first time. Because the exact conditions were not known, Jae-hyun was also unable to contact Yoo Seong-eun.
“shit… … also can’t For now, joining the kids is the first thing.”
Jaehyun gritted his teeth and ran using all of his acceleration magic.
However, before arriving.
Jaehyun’s face hardened once more.
Seongjae Park.
His spirits began to wane.
As if it would stop breathing any moment.
* * *
“shit! Are you okay guys!?”
Kim Yoo-jung’s urgent voice.
The group barely nodded their heads as if it was difficult to even answer.
Kim Yoo-jung, Seo E-na, Ahn Ho-yeon, Joo Seong-chan and Ha Yeon-joo, who barely got up again. All members of the party were fighting the enemy on behalf of Park Seong-jae, who had lost his arm and collapsed.
Park Seong-jae was barely breathing. He seemed to have been hit by CC, one of the Dark Elves’ main weapons.
One of the limitations of assassination-type radar. This meant that they were so vulnerable to status ailments.
“Hoo. It seems like he’s still young, but it’s a pretty useful move.”
A shadow that did not reveal its shape in the dark spoke with magic power.
An overwhelming power that is difficult to handle.
The party broke into a cold sweat and stared quietly beyond the unclear darkness.
There is a gigantic evil that cannot be identified. A demonic beast that uses at least several times more mana than those it encountered for the first time.
“What are you?”
Ahn Ho-yeon asked with a trembling voice, wary of the surroundings.
A shadow in the darkness distorted, and a terrifying voice came from within.
“I am the royal family of the noble Dark Elves, and the captain of the royal guard who escorts the king. It’s Kel.”
at the same time as ending the speech. Kell fired a spear out of the darkness.
It was also a spear made of magic, as sharp as an awl.
However, the spear was not shot at the party.
The tip of the spearhead pointed deeper.
Just now.
The right side of the road Jaehyun headed to destroy the Dark Elves’ post.
However, the flying spear was helplessly caught and shattered.
The suffocating magic power sensed from it.
Everyone in the party trembled at the energy felt from there.
A vortex of thick magical power that is incomparable to them. It was as if his mind was being blown away by the mighty power that was rushing in.
The only good thing is that the target scattering magic is not their enemy.
“It looks like you’re hiding in the shadows for something noble, fighting in a naive way.”
Jaehyun, who had approached the party before he knew it, stood at the forefront and said.
Soon after, an eerie laugh echoed through the dungeon, and soon the shadows lifted.
“Is there any honor more important than winning a battle? Humans are stupid.”
It was none other than a giant Dark Elf who stepped out of the darkness.
A demonic beast with long hair that extends to the shoulder blades while wearing silver armor.
The Witchbeast’s blazing eyes scanned Jaehyun’s whole body.
“Don’t stir up racial feelings. That is a very bad habit.”
Jaehyun opened his magic and looked at Kell approaching him.
‘… … At least the magic of the king and the equal.’
Jaehyun bit his lip.
Can we protect the group and defeat him?
Even now, the fire of life of the cadets caught in the boss room continues to go out.
“after… … .”
Jaehyun had to calmly find a way out of this situation.
Fighting the enemy one-on-one is not that difficult. Jaehyun has achieved remarkable growth and his compatibility with the enemy is also very good.
But the biggest problem is still.
‘I’m running out of time. What should I do?’
After Jaehyun cooled his head, he looked at Kell.
he asked.
“The other humans you took with you. tell me where you are.”
“Hmph, do you dare to retrieve the sacrifice the king took? stupid thing.”
Jaehyun’s brow furrowed.
His gaze turns to Park Seong-jae, who has lost his arm and collapsed.
At the same time, Jaehyun’s face hardened.
‘okay… … That’s how it happened.’
Tsutsutsutsutsu… … !!
The level of magic that is different from reappearance has been released.
The expression and anger that came up clearly.
For the first time, Kell’s brow twisted.
‘… … what the heck is this… … . How can humans have such vast magical powers?’
Kell was in shock.
He had never experienced anything like this before.
Is this really the power of humans who were considered only prey?
Kell twitched his lips as he watched the high-pressure magic flowing down Jaehyun’s body.
“okay… … now i get it Are you the person who wiped out our people earlier?”
“It seems right. Well, at least he’s just a human being.”
“No way cancer! Wouldn’t it be food if I tried to do it?”
Before I knew it, two elite dark elves lined up on either side of Kell giggled and said.
To them, Jaehyun is fresh prey full of mana. It was nothing more and nothing less.
On the other hand, Jae-hyun, who gained time through conversation, looked at both the enemy and the ally at the same time.
The ally seemed to have recovered some of their magic with the potion they took out. The Dark Elves were not very interested in the group standing behind them because they were concerned about reappearance.
‘Among class A, it’s extraordinarily strong. Probably an S-class monster. but.’
Jaehyun raised his mana and ejected chains from the floor and ceiling.
A low-grade chain magic with no attributes. 《Mana Chain》.
However, to Jaehyun, who understood the concept of amplification, the level of magic was meaningless.
“I don’t know what you guys ate so much. Be prepared.”
―Active skill «Mana Chain Lv5».
―The proficiency of the skill is MAX.
―The chain becomes a will and supports your movements.
―A higher level skill is derived.
―Active skill «Chain Lane Lv1».
“Uh, what… … !”
Before the sound of the system had even finished, Kell stepped back in surprise.
Dozens of chain rains manifested from Jaehyun pierced the elite knight standing next to him.
A chain shot at such a speed that there is no other way to express it other than marvelous. One elite knight lost his life without even leaving a deathbed.
―You have killed an elite Dark Elf Knight.
Jaehyun looked at Kell with an expressionless face.
“You will have to vomit everything you ate.”
