We are now

at the Forest of Heraldry in the southwest of Gaum.

It has taken us a long time to travel to reach the Elf Village here.

This feels unbelievable.

It feels familiar to me.

After all, you are half-elf.

Maybe you are affected by your elf's blood.

Is that so?

But this is weird.

Based on my knowledge, the elf race should be in the Western Continent.

There shouldn't be any elves in the Eastern Continent.

The elves moved from the Western Continent ten years ago

and settled down in this forest.

Now, I think they are under Gaum's care.

As for why we are heading to the Elf Village,

it's because…

The assassins of Trycen have been

denying their connection to the Black Storm.

I never thought that Trycen would ambush you.

Actually, they've been using the border of Trycen as their operation base.

There have been a lot of activities going around lately.

What do you mean?

Although Trycen has a few disputes with their neighboring country, Gaum,

they've never made any blatant moves.

For Parth, that is the symbol of peace, and Toraj, that is a major food supplier,

they treat us with even more care and courtesy.

However…

With the reconnaissance and the slave trading…

Maybe Trycen's political stance has changed.

If this continues, it's possible that Trycen will start an invasion.

Will there be war?

That's my personal deduction.

But we have to stay alert.

If they are being honest with their statements,

you may have been targeted.

By the way,

I have an assignment for you.

Is it a special assignment from the president of the guild?

Or is it…

It's a request from Leonhart Gaum, the king of the Beast Kingdom of Gaum.

I heard that King Leonhart will be there himself.

Good luck with your rank S test.

I never thought that the king of a nation would be heading the rank S test.

You are amazing, Brother Kelvin.

One of the conditions of leveling up to rank S

is to get the permission of the rulers, right?

Yes. And you need permission from at least two rulers.

Leon has already gotten the permission from Queen Regnant Tsubaki for me.

It seems like King Leonhart has heard about me

when Queen Regnant Tsubaki showed off to him.

What kind of a person is King Leonhart?

Based on their country's customs,

he traveled the world when he was about ten to train himself.

Based on the ranking of the adventurer, he's a rank S.

He must be strong then.

My king, are you thinking about something outrageous again?

No.

I didn't plan to fight with him or defeat him.

Since he's so powerful,

he could've tested you himself.

Did he ask us to protect the Elf Village

because of the appearance of an unknown rank S monster?

Based on my previous experience,

it must be connected to Trycen.

Anyway, we don't have to hold ourselves back.

We can fight with all our might.

-Yes. -Understood.

This is really your way of doing things.

But we can't be too careless too.

Yes.

We may be ambushed.

They are…

Elves!

I'm Kelvin, an adventurer who is sent here by the king of Gaum, King Leonhart.

Please listen to me.

He's sent here by King Leonhart?

Is it true?

That letter looks real.

Adventurer Kelvin.

They say that ignorance can be forgiven,

but please forgive us for being rude just now.

I am the elder of the Elf Village, Neilas.

He's the elder?

He looks young.

He's an elf after all.

I've heard about you from King Leonhart.

You came here from such a faraway place…

Lumiel.

How are you still alive?

Lumiel?

ORIGINAL STORY BY: DOUFU MAYOI

Please forgive us for how rude we were just now, Kelvin.

Before we talk about King Leonhart's request,

can I ask you something first?

You want to ask me

why I mistook Efil as Lumiel, right?

Yes.

Although she's my companion now,

she was once cursed by the Flame Dragon King.

As far as she remembers, she had always been a slave.

I can't believe it.

Please tell us about Lumiel.

Maybe it can give us a clue about Efil's background.

Okay.

It happened 20 years ago.

Deep inside the forest of the Western Continent.

We once lived a peaceful life there.

Until one day,

we were attacked by one of the great dragon kings, the Flame Dragon King.

The Flame Dragon King said this,

"Hand over the elf who had humiliated me

or else, all of you and this forest will turn to ashes."

We had never crossed paths with that Flame Dragon King.

Why would it be so furious at us?

Until now, we still don't know the reason,

but the anger of the Dragon King was a terrifying thing.

More than half of the elves in the village were burnt to death.

My leg was injured at that time too.

Then, an elf stepped forward bravely.

That elf was Lumiel.

Lumiel.

She stood in front of the Flame Dragon King and said this,

"Please vent your anger on me,

but please let the other elves go."

The Flame Dragon King replied to her this,

"You are not the elf I'm looking for,

but if you are willing to become my bride,

I'll forget about this humiliation."

Lumiel accepted its offer

and was taken away by the Flame Dragon King.

That elf was so courageous.

Yes.

She was a powerful and kind elf.

After the Flame Dragon King left,

the threat was gone.

But you still moved all the way here from the Western Continent.

You are right.

That's because after a few years,

we found Lumiel's dead body deep in the forest.

We don't know what happened.

Since Lumiel is dead,

we can't be sure that the Flame Dragon King won't attack the forest again.

So, due to fear,

we left the Western Continent and came here.

Elder Neilas has mistaken Efil for Lumiel because they look so alike.

Could it be that Lumiel was Efil's mother?

If that's the case,

maybe Efil is Lumiel and Flame Dragon King…

No. That's impossible.

A half-elf can only be born from the union of a human and an elf.

If the father is a dragon, it'll overpower the elf bloodline.

But we can be sure that Lumiel is Efil's mother.

I'm sorry, Efil.

I don't know anything more than that.

It's okay. Thank you very much, Elder Neilas.

I've never met my parents as far as I can remember.

I have no memories of them too.

But my past doesn't matter.

Now, I have my companions and my master.

I have my beloved family with me.

Looks like you've found your trusted companions.

Yes.

Efil!

Sera?

You have me too, Efil.

-It's nice to have a big family. -I'll become stronger!

Yes.

Now, let's get down to business.

Okay.

According to the letter from King Leonhart,

the new monster will lead its gang to kidnap the elves.

Yes.

Although we've set up a barrier that can disrupt our enemies' sense of direction,

the monsters can still pinpoint the location of the village accurately.

Even if there's a barrier,

you can still nullify it with other types of skills.

We managed to make it all the way here too.

Until now, the monsters have attacked us three times.

Rather than attacking,

I think their main goal is to kidnap the elves.

It's too well organized for monsters.

We did try to fight back,

but we were not strong enough.

Even the soldiers sent by Gaum could not defeat them.

Don't worry, elder.

We are here to stop that from happening again.

That's right. We'll do our best to protect you.

I'll do my best too.

Me too. I'll help with whatever power I have.

Thank you, everyone.

Elder, I want to discuss something with you.

I hope that you'll allow me to renovate the village.

Renovate?

Yes.

If you allow me to do that,

I can promise you that the monsters can't get to you anymore.

Okay. I'll let you be in charge then.

Thank you.

It'll be a huge trap.

I can't help but feel bad towards our enemies.

Good. We have a lot of things to do.

NAME: EFIL LEVEL: 93, TITLE: PERFECT MAID

RACE: HALF-BLOODED ELF OCCUPATION: BATTLE MAID

Do not stop. Continue to move forward.

Leader.

Looks like the weaklings of Gaum are not here.

They must have been scared off by the Chimera Army.

We are not being covert about this.

I'm sure they know where we are.

But they are despicable men.

Be careful not to get ambushed.

Let Gaum know that we are here.

Then, we'll annihilate all the troops that are sent here.

This strategy from General Tristan is going to succeed soon.

I wonder where General Tristan got these neck chains.

They are specially made products that work on rank S monsters too.

I heard that he got them

from a merchant who visited the royal capital city recently.

With how powerful they are,

even if the king of the beast is here…

What happened?

I don't know.

He just fell all of a sudden.

What happened?

I think he's pierced by an arrow or something similar.

How is it possible?

I didn't even hear the whistle of the wind. I heard nothing.

Besides, the Elf Village is still way ahead of us.

But now…

An ambush!

Hide behind the monsters!

Our enemy has launched an invisible attack!

This is unbelievable.

What is happening right now?

Next, target the person behind the giant monster.

Leave the one who looks like the leader for last.

We'll catch him alive and find out everything he knows.

Roger that.

Very good. It's a hit.

Looks like that bow works quite well.

Yes.

This is the Invisible Merciless Bow that you've made for me.

INVISIBLE MERCILESS BOW(S): SILENT ARROWS

I can shoot at any distance with my power.

And it makes no sound.

With this arrow tower that I've created through my Adamant Cliff

and Mel's Green Magic, Faux Fog,

you can't see the village from the outside.

We've also strengthened the city walls around the village.

The moat around the village that has been infused with Sera's Black Magic

is not just normal water anymore.

Even if the enemies can reach the moat,

they won't be able to cross it.

I'll be focusing on defense this time, right?

Let's do our best.

Understood.

I don't think you'll get to fight in this round, Gerard.

You can go back to sleep.

Sera, don't go too far.

Yes. Mel is right.

We have to catch the one who looks powerful alive, right?

Just do your best.

Our main goal is to protect the Elf Village.

Don't destroy the forest too much.

Let's start the battle now!

Vice-captain!

Something bad has happened!

Calm down. What happened?

Some unknown enemies have shown up in front of the Elf Village.

The fourth unit that took the lead has been annihilated.

Their leader has been captured.

They are not Gaum's soldiers for sure.

What?

Who else can they be other than Gaum's soldiers?

Are they Toraj or Deramis' soldiers?

They don't look like an army. They look like a team of adventurers.

What?

We don't know who they are.

So far, we've spotted three female fighters and a Shadow Wolf.

They are extremely powerful. Rank B monsters are nothing against them!

Our troops can't move forward at all.

What did you say?

The fifth unit is fighting with them right now,

but it's only a matter of time before they are defeated.

If that's the case, we have to use our trump card now.

We have to use its power to defeat our enemies.

Do you hear me?

Vice-captain.

You are indeed here.

He is the commander of the enemies, right? Mel.

Thank you for leading the way.

Thanks to you, we managed to get here without getting lost.

Don't tell me that they are…

Hey.

Wake up, Gigantor!

Time for you to come out!

Do not let your guard down!

Look.

That giant is huge.

It's like something out of a comic.

Rion.

You and Alex should try defeating that monster by yourselves.

Just us?

Yes.

If you can defeat it,

I'll admit that you are strong enough to be on your own.

I think that is at least a rank S monster.

Are you brave enough to fight it?

I've been training with Gerard every day lately,

and I've been learning magic from Brother Kelvin so much

that I'm going to vomit.

I can do it.

I can't be the youngest sister who needs to be protected all the time.

I want to protect everyone too.

We can do it, right, Alex?

Okay!

You'll be fine.

You can do it as long as you can utilize all of your power.

Just one?

How dare you look down on us!

Gigantor!

Let's go, Alex!

Do you know how strong it is now?

You can't hurt a rank S monster with that blunt sword.

If that's the case…

Serves you right!

Good job.

It's not looking good for me.

One hit from that and I'll probably die.

But…

If you can defeat it,

I'll admit that you are strong enough to be on your own.

Clotho, please lend me your strength.

Alex, you too.

We are going to attack you with everything we have, Mr. Giant.

Dual Wield?

Isn't that a skill that only the warriors can have?

Really?

It's in my skill slot. I don't know much about it.

The demon sword that Brother Kelvin made for me, Caladbolg,

and the faux holy sword, Will.

Together with Alex's Lethal Sword,

this is not a Dual Wield.

The human and wolf are one. We are the Triple Wield.

Thunderbolt Strike!

How is it possible?

A brat like her…

We did it.

Gigantor!

Transform!

So, that is its real form.

I'm so jealous. I want to fight it too.

Master.

Rion will be fine.

Yes.

Go, Gigantor Fire!

Burn her to ashes with your Flame of Hell!

I still have to defeat you anyway.

Because…

this flame is weaker than Efil's flame.

Let's do it again.

Thunderbolt Strike!

A young brat like her

destroyed the Chimera Army

and the troops of Trycen.

Mel, I did it!

Well done.

You've fought hard.

Brother Kelvin will compliment me too, right?

Rion won the fight.

Yes.

She has improved so much in such a short time.

Efil!

I thought that I had killed you,

but you are still alive.

Master.

That person…

is very powerful!
