Chapter 118 (1/2)

When the elves who remained in the forest returned with arms to the site where the demon was, the corpse of the demon, which should have been there, had vanished

“E-Eh…?”

“Oy, there’s nothing like a demon around here, is there?”

Hearing the story that a demon appeared and moreover that it was defeated by merely two elves, the elves, who braced thelared at the tho previously met it

“No, no! It’s the truth! Right?”

“Yeah, it ithout a doubt a deic There’s no mistake in the location either Look, there are still bloodstains reht?”

At the place, he pointed at, black remains, which can certainly be considered bloodstains, were scattered on the path which was evened roughly

If one looked closely, the bloodstains indistinctly extended towards the forest as if the corpse had been dragged along

“… It’s continuing over there”

“Let’s check it out It will spell troubles if the demon is still alive and has escaped Since there’s no doubt that it’s wounded seriously, ill finish it off with everyone launching their ic at it once we find it”

The eight elves ere at this place agreed to that suggestion

With the reic, they had confidence in being able to resist even if the de the the demons, the elves locked the before they had been born

“That is…!”

When they advanced for around 5 minutes, one of them pointed at the dim vicinity where the space between the forest’s trees became fairly narrow

There they saw the back of so

“No, the blood has…”

The leading elf tried to tell them that it was different from the demon he had seen for hiicit as enemy approach

“Take this!”

“Demon! Come out!”

While throwing abusive language at it, they released wind blades, a lightning attack and a stone pellet spell

All of the spells hit so and burst with a fierce sound

“Alright!”

One of the their fists

In the next moment they hear a voice different from their comrades

“What’s “alright”? Idiot”

No sooner than the voice finished, the head of one of the elves, who released the spells, fell doith a “plop”

The cut elf hi a surprised expression wondering about his sight suddenly spinning around

“U-Uwaaah!”

Surprised by the abrupt death of his co elf who released a spell just like the beheaded and fallen elf

A katana pierces the chest of the youngsucked into it

“Ue…?”

As the katana is pulled out with a short sliding sound, the young elf presses his hands on his gaping wide chest, however large aers

Once the youngsix took distance in panic

“A-A human…?”

The one who attacked wasn’t a demon but Hifumi (T/N: In other words, the worse option of the two)

Wiping his katana with a paper, Hifu displeased

“On top of interrupting someone’s experiment, you even destroy the experiment’s body” (Hifumi)

What was held up by the katana was the corpse of the de as shi+eld against the ic attacks

“Experiment, you say?”

Hifumi, who discovered a fresh demon corpse at the wayside, noticed that the trees in the surroundings were different from the demon’s area as they had the peculiarity of the elven forest and apparently decided to test whether there’s an influence by those trees on the blood of the demon whose ancestors are similar to the elves

Since the one he orking on while squatting hadn’tanymore, he tried to cut open the body’s front in order to e easier to understand

However, since the elves, who turned up in a group, suddenly fired spells at hi the corpse as shi+eld out of reflex

“Even though I went as far as operating on it at great troubles, this happened The wind blades and stone pellet were still alright but the lightning attack burned it Like this it ain’t usable anymore” (Hifumi)

Once the elves looked properly at the corpse, they saw that the skin had been cut open, the breastbones had been snapped off and the abdoans were shtning attack

“Uegeeeeeehh!”

Soered two more to spurt out the contents of their stomachs

“So like that…”

“There had been three spells Who’s the last one?” (Hifumi)

“Judging by the direction of bloodthirst, it’s either you or you”, he points at them one after the other

The gazes of the re attack

“You, eh?” (Hifumi)

“Please wait! I-It wasn’t me but someone else!”
