83 – Balance (5)

“Master. But wouldn’t raiding the great forest also cause problems for the World Tree? Even if you are a dark elf, serving the World Tree is the same… “

While the dark elves were preparing, I stayed in Diria and received training from Balus for the first time in a while.

I thought I was strong enough, but Balus was on a different level.

It would probably take a lifetime to keep up with what he had accumulated over the years.

“If we fight them, part of the forest will inevitably be destroyed. But it’s only a moment. The great forest will recover quickly as long as the world trees remain intact. “We don’t fight while destroying our mothers.”

“Is that so. “It’s fascinating.”

“A great forest is a space where the past, present, and future coexist. As a human, you may not understand, but what a great forest contains is more than just a forest. “You can say that the balance they like so much also started in the great forest.”

“They say that the high elves are the guardians of balance… “I see.”

“It’s not even the same thing. If the balance is broken anyway, it will return to the self-purifying effect of the forest. That is something that neither we nor the High Elves can touch. “It’s a mother’s job to strike a true balance.”

Through this opportunity, I learned quite a bit about high elves and the Great Forest.

I wondered if it would be okay for me, a human, to share their history, but I was already recognized as a member of the clan, and the elves said they weren’t hiding that either.

It’s just that they had little interaction with the outside world because they lived in the great forest, and their history was not a secret.

Of course, they don’t come forward and announce it, and they aren’t a very open race, but it didn’t seem like making their history known would upset the balance.

“Well, you just have to carry out the battle according to Arion’s instructions. Because everything else is our business. “That much help will be enough to help you.”

“Is that so. thank god.”

Deciding to help the dark elves with their work was a semi-impulsive choice.

I needed something to clear my head. Otherwise, I keep thinking about them.

Time passed quickly in Diria.

Their war preparations took a few more months, but it didn’t feel that long to me.

Just clear your head and swing your sword. Learn the skills of the dark elves little by little.

It was quite nice to spend time comfortably without hiding myself like that for the first time in a long time.

I wish this time would last a little longer.

But as always, time passes. And the situation is given to us.

The Dark Elves have completed all preparations and are heading to the Great Forest. I too followed suit.

I didn’t think about it after the elves’ work was over. That too will work out somehow.

The first priority was to help the dark elves take revenge. Like they helped me get my revenge.

Without thinking, I followed them.

“This is truly amazing. It’s a technology that humans can’t even imagine… “

“It’s natural since we’ve lived different years.”

Contrary to my expectations that they would travel through mountains and canyons to reach the great forest, the dark elves traveled on a transport ship they had built themselves.

It was enormous. It was as if a huge building had been lifted up using technology and was moving through the sky.

It is said that it even has technology to make its appearance transparent. At this level, it felt more like magic than magic.

“If you have this level of technology, you really can’t even compete with humans. There was a difference in level in the first place… ”

“We are our mother’s sons too, and we don’t like to upset the balance. And one day, humans will catch up too. “Because that’s what balance is.”

What is that guy’s balance, why does he live in hiding even though he has such incredible technology?

This was the first part where I didn’t understand the race of elves.

If the dark elves who cannot use mana are this strong, how powerful is the magic of the high elves?

Does this mean that there are many magicians stronger than Yuna there?

Inadvertently, thoughts of her come to mind again. She is now completely dead.

I’ll probably never see you again. In heaven and in hell. Because the places we’re heading to will be different.

For some reason, thinking about that gives me an indescribable feeling of despair.

I don’t know why I feel this way.

Even though it wasn’t the exact revenge I wanted, she was dead. He probably died in terrible pain.

Still, is it because I couldn’t finish it?

Just thinking about her gave me a strange feeling of discomfort, discomfort, and a strange itching in my chest.

I shake my head and look out the window. The sky passing by at high speed was truly a spectacular sight.

I didn’t want to think about it anymore. Their work too. Helia’s work too. What lies ahead.

How great it would be if we could just forget everything. I knew revenge wouldn’t be fun, but I wonder if it wouldn’t be nice if I could just forget everything and live my life.

“It will arrive soon. Ben. “You too, prepare.”

“… yes.”

The flight ended quickly and we arrived at the main forest.

According to Arion’s words, as soon as the dark elves set foot in the forest, the high elves will notice and appear.

My mission is to quickly delve into the great forest together with the team of Baelus and install the items prepared by Arion in the city of the high elves.

I don’t know exactly, but it is said to be a technology that can control the flow of mana in a certain area.

It is said that in addition to Balus’ group, the dark elves will install the items in different locations, and then an environment will be created in the entire Great Forest where high elves will not be able to use magic.

If that happens, the Dark Elves’ victory will be certain.

The key was to overcome the attacks of the high elves and install the object.

The dark elves all got off the transport ship with heavy expressions.

For them, this is a wish that they have probably been wishing for for a time that I can’t even imagine.

It was not a light atmosphere at all. I, too, declared myself part of their clan, so I armed myself with an equally heavy heart.

“Then go. “To achieve my long-cherished wish.”

Nothing much was said.

Just as they had prepared for a long time, each one moved toward the mission without any error.

I also started running so as not to become an obstacle to their future.

“You guys… How on earth were you alive? ”

“therefore. “It would have been you, not us, who should have died.”

Sigh-

Baelus smiled bitterly and without hesitation cut off the head of the high elf who was preparing magic in front of him.

Is the wizard stronger or the knight stronger?

The answer to that question is, of course, that wizards are strong.

In the first place, knights fight only with swords, and wizards fight with magic, which is much more powerful than swords.

From the beginning, it was no match for distance or firepower. Unless the wizard’s casting speed is as slow as a turtle, the wizard has the advantage.

Moreover, all of the current wizards are left with tremendous talent. No matter how many knights attack them, they cannot be defeated.

Sigh-

However, the movements of Balus and the Dark Elves went beyond such common sense.

Their movements seemed to transcend the laws of physics.

He dispelled the high elves’ magic with a sword made of a unique magic stone, and approached at high speed to cut off their heads.

Of course, that did not mean there was no damage from the Dark Elves.

As much as they fought at a disadvantage, there were dark elves who lost their lives due to the attacks of the high elves.

But it didn’t stop.

He knew that he didn’t want to stop for the dead, so he cut again and again without hesitation.

The great forest was stained with the blood of the elves.

The fresh air full of mana turned into the smell of blood, and the green forest became increasingly red as hell.

I also followed them and cut again and again.

The wounds on my body also increased. However, it was clear that if he stopped, he would miss the dark elves.

We ran without stopping until we reached the elf city.

“Baylor. It’s been a while. “I never thought we’d meet like this.”

“You probably didn’t even know he was alive. “You didn’t even intend to save us in the first place, right?”

“I know very well. “It makes me wonder how on earth they survived like this.”

“If you were going to tell me that, you wouldn’t have come. Let’s see the end that we didn’t see that day. “Yuian.”

The elves remaining in the city had completed their own preparations.

The entire city was already covered with the magic field they had created, and it didn’t seem easy to break through it.

Of course, the Dark Elves said that they even prepared a device to destroy the magic field in preparation for such a case.

However, if it is used, there will definitely be great damage to the area. It was the will to fight even if it meant taking it.

It is said that some people believe in the self-purifying effect of large forests.

As a human, I had no way of knowing how self-purification worked, but it is said that if that much damage were to occur, the forest would quickly recover.

In effect, this means that it is an environment where you can fight without worrying about your surroundings.

“Are you saying it doesn’t matter if the great forest is destroyed, Yuian?”

“In the first place, a major forest maintains balance. It’s you who we have to stop. “An imbalance that should have disappeared long ago.”

“If we were unbalanced, the forest would have rejected us from the beginning. is not it?”

Balus throws a small bomb-shaped ball from his arms toward the city.

Starting with him, other dark elves also began bombing.

The high elves did not sit still either, and began shooting magic at us from within the city.

“Everyone spread out!”

And before their attack could reach us, we were all scattered according to Baelus’ orders.

The idea was to avoid attacks by circling the outskirts of the city and at the same time destroy the magic field.

It was a stupidly simple and reckless strategy.

However, there was not a trace of playfulness in everyone’s eyes. It was infinitely serious.

A life-threatening operation. Nevertheless, I had the will to never fail.

I was that desperate. It was a long-cherished wish worth risking one’s life for.

I also couldn’t ignore their will. That’s why I ran and destroyed the magic field.

“Ugh… !”

High elf magic passes through my arm.

It was just a brush, but the skin was torn as if it were being torn apart. The pain was overwhelming, but not so much that I couldn’t fight.

I kept running. I focused on running and destroying the magic field.

“uh… ?”

Then, as I was circling the outskirts of the city, I stopped for a moment.

“Yuuna… ?”

I could see her face among the high elves shooting magic in the city.

She could never be here, but I saw her shooting magic among the high elves.

Paang-

“Ben-! “Come to your senses!”

A shout directed at me, who stood still for a moment.

The magic of the high elves barely passed by my shoulder.

Start running again to avoid enemy attacks.

“how… ”

But even then, I couldn’t take my eyes off one place.

Clearly, clearly it was her. Unless this was a dream, there was no way I couldn’t recognize it.

She was shooting magic at us from among the high elves.
