Chapter 77 (1/2)

As soon as the news of Reina’s kidnap was heard, Luke headed straight for the Castle.

He looked around the castle and her room, but he wasn’t able to find any clue.

His frustrated heart spoke out to Sebastian who was at his feet.

“Master, this is the work of the dark elves.”

“Dark Elf? Why do you think so?”

“The air in the room has the scent of sleeping essence, used by dark elves.”

Luke too knew that the sleeping essence was used by the Dark elves.

The sleep essence was their own powerful secret, it was enough to take down a Sword Master in one shot, however, after an hour, the trace of it being used disappears completely.

So, no would know that they had infiltrated.

After hearing those words, Sebastian spoke again with a snort,

“Huh, dark elves sure are excellent, but they can’t fool a great thief like me.”

Sebastian was an olfactory demon, a cat demon, and an expert in making drugs, he could defeat the dark elves in that matter.

“Then, I know where they went.”

“Umm, the scent is going to the north. They have gone in the North direction.”

From then, Luke began to chase after the dark elves along with Sebastian.

“I didn’t know why they had kidnapped her.”

But if they hurt even a finger on her, he was sure that he would kill them all.

And on the fourth day of his pursuit, he was able to find them on a riverside.

“Why are you taking her back to the Volga Republic? What is the meaning of this? Everyone knows that there is no place for the royals to return there, why?”

“Kill him!”

The dark elves, three of them, excluding the one holding Reina, attacked Luke.

The two spread out, and one of them pulled out a dagger and attacked him from the front.

“Shield!”

A blue shield had appeared in front of Luke and bounced the attack by the dark elves.

Kang!

Another attack with a dagger had come and it was blocked by a sword in the right hand.

“He is a Rune Knight! Be careful!”

Hyrun was the captain of the dark elves.

He saw Luke used magic and sword at the same time and hurriedly warned his subordinates.

“Be careful in a sense, but can you even stop my attack?”

This time Luke didn’t even wait to attack the dark elves.

Kang! Kang! Puong!

The fight between the three dark elves and Luke carried out a while.

The dark elves attacked Luke in various ways, very quickly.

They tried to poison, to confuse, and used dagger with poisons. They didn’t work, and later pulled out a bow that was on the back.

However, no assault worked on Luke.

It was because Luke had a battle against the dark elves in the past, he knew about their patterns, how they try to penetrate the defense and to use their attack patterns as well.

At that moment, the cold eyes of the dark elves began to show emotions.

‘What is he? How does he know of our attacks from one to ten!?’

The original dark elves were involved in invasion, assassination, and kidnapping.

But that didn’t mean that their attacks were weak.

Although they preferred stealth and taking the opponent by surprise in face-to-face combat, they could handle an Expert very well.

In particular, these dark elves were specially chosen.

They would have been able to deal with the advanced Experts all alone, but their plans didn’t work well today.

“Hide in the forest!”

Hyrun, who was holding onto Reina, ordered the others.

The others immediately scattered and hid into the forest.
